After Zhan Jinhua left the community, she didn't know which way to go.
There was quite a bit of traffic on the road, but it was mostly private cars or large trucks. There were only a few taxis, and most of them were carrying passengers.
Besides, her cell phone was out of battery and she had no cash on her, so she had no money to take a bus.
She now wants to leave this evil place as soon as possible, but she is also worried about being recognized and sent to the police station.
While walking on the street, although he was wearing a hat and mask tightly, he was still looking around because he felt guilty.
Following her memory, Zhan Jinhua walked along the sidewalk for a long distance and found the bus stop.
She carefully searched her pockets and suitcase, and finally found some dimes. These were the change she had received from supermarket merchants when she bought things there before.
Ever since she learned how to use mobile payment, Zhan Jinhua almost never carries cash when she goes out.
She looked at the station sign and saw that the fare was one yuan, which she could afford.
Although this is not the starting station, it is only two stops away from the starting station, and there is a village there.
There weren't many people getting on the bus here, so she made a plan. After getting on the bus, she would walk to the back and try to sit in the last row to avoid attracting the passengers' attention.
She carefully studied the various stops again. This bus didn't go directly to the house she and Sun Xiaohao rented, but it could reach the city center.
She was worried that someone would come to block her at the house again, so she didn't dare to go back for the time being.
Her most important thing now is to charge her mobile phone, contact Sun Xiaohao, tell him about her situation here, and ask Sun Xiaohao to arrange another accommodation for her.
Zhan Jinhua got on the bus, threw in a handful of dimes, and sat in the window seat at the rear of the bus with her suitcase.
Along the way, she was observing the environment outside and deciding which stop to get off.
About half an hour later, when they were three stops away from the city center, Zhan Jinhua found an inconspicuous little shop. From the sign on the door, she could tell that the shop sold potato noodles.
It just so happened that she hadn't eaten properly for a day and a half, so she could borrow a charger here and have something to eat.
After getting off the car, she dragged her suitcase into the store.
When Zhan Jinhua got off the bus, she took a look at the electronic clock on the bus, which showed the time was 10:05.
It wasn't the peak lunch hour yet, so the restaurant wasn't crowded. Seeing a customer coming in, the proprietress warmly invited Zhan Jinhua to find a seat and said, "Auntie, what would you like to eat?"
The proprietress handed Zhan Jinhua a menu, which listed several different flavors of casserole potato noodles and the prices of various side dishes.
In addition to potato noodles, the store also sells some fried foods.
Zhan Jinhua was a greedy person to begin with, and now she was hungry and tired, so she wanted to have a big meal right away.
She looked through the menu, ordered a large portion of medium-spicy potato noodles, added some side dishes like hot pot meatballs, and selected a dozen fried skewers.
The proprietress calculated the bill, which was over forty yuan, but we had to pay first before we could eat.
Zhan Jinhua borrowed a charger from the boss's wife on the pretext that her cell phone was out of battery, and charged it on the socket strip in the store.
After her phone turned on, she transferred the meal money to the boss lady, and then sat in her chair waiting for her potato noodles and fried skewers.
To avoid being recognized, she always wore a hat and a mask.
The food came. Zhan Jinhua looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. Then she pulled the mask down to her chin and started eating in big mouthfuls.
By the time she had eaten and drunk her fill, her phone was fully charged.
She put on her mask again, took her cell phone and walked out of the store.
At this time, the first thing Zhan Jinhua did was to contact Sun Xiaohao.
Sun Xiaohao was a little surprised when he received the call from Zhan Jinhua. After all, he was sure that Zhan Jinhua's phone had run out of battery yesterday.
If he calls me now, I must have come out of that rental house.
Sun Xiaohao picked up the phone, ready to listen to what Zhan Jinhua wanted to say. Then he heard Zhan Jinhua's resentful voice from the other end: "You said you were going to send me something, but why didn't you come? I almost starved to death in the house..."
Sun Xiaohao laughed and said, "Mom, I had a car accident yesterday, and I couldn't get through to you on your phone..."
Zhan Jinhua complained again: "What kind of shabby house did you find for me? It's so unlucky, everywhere looks like a funeral home, and early in the morning I ran into a group of people holding urns..."
Sun Xiaohao feigned surprise: "Ah? Really? I just heard the agent say that the house was secluded and safe, so I hurriedly booked it!"
Zhan Jinhua didn't think much of it. She had been with Sun Xiaohao for two years, and although he was a little narrow-minded, he wasn't the kind of person who would betray her.
Not to mention that they were mother and son, they were more or less involved in what they had done in the past two years. If Sun Xiaohao did something bad to her, he would not gain anything.
Sun Xiaohao brushed off Zhan Jinhua's questions with a flimsy excuse, and Zhan Jinhua didn't press the issue.
She then said to Sun Xiaohao, "I just checked online, and the news is getting bigger and bigger. No matter where you are now, come back quickly and find me a safe place to hide."
At this time, Zhan Jinhua was hiding in a remote, dirty corner and calling Sun Xiaohao.
Sun Xiaohao responded: "Mom, where are you now? Send me your location. I'm delivering goods in the county town and will definitely come back as soon as possible..."
With Sun Xiaohao's words, Zhan Jinhua felt a little relieved.
But this dirty place, with its foul smell of sewers, made her feel like she couldn't breathe. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would be suffocated.
