"Then how many do you have..."
Before the educated youths could finish their words, they were interrupted by the young man in front of them: "We left in a hurry and only had snacks, not dinner. Let's eat something when we get to the front and then continue walking."
It has been nearly two hours since they left the village, and it is already dark. They are really a little hungry. Even the little rabbit who has been eating snacks feels that dinner should be eaten on time.
Well...it's a midnight snack.
The educated youth did have dinner, and they all ate in a private room. The only difference was that the children mostly ate snacks, while the educated youth ate main dishes, so they felt a little fuller.
And they were in a hurry to get to town, so they were not very happy about it.
"Otherwise, we'll treat you guys to a meal once we get to town. It should be here soon."
"That's right. It's snowing so heavily. If we delay any further, the road will become difficult to travel on."
Chen Shilan just informed them and had no intention of listening to their opinions.
The little rabbit said: "No, it's too snowy and unsafe now."
"But we're almost there, just hold on a little longer."
"No, this road may take a long way, and it won't get to town that quickly." Of course they could go faster when the weather is good. Today, because of the bad weather and they were driving slowly on purpose, their speed was naturally much slower.
The educated youth were all unhappy. They had no idea why they had chosen this route: "Why did we go this way in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to just go straight from the village entrance? We got there quickly today by tractor."
"You didn't mean to stop us from leaving, did you?"
Their tone became a little harsh, and they were still 100% confident in dealing with these children, so it was indeed difficult to talk to them now.
If these kids wanted to do something weird, they would have to resort to some unethical and extreme means. Everyone looked at each other and nodded, obviously agreeing with this approach.
After all, they wouldn't really hurt the children. At most, they would just let them go after they found a way back to town. They could just pick up these little guys and not think about how to deal with them. They were no match for them anyway.
The little rabbit smiled and said, "No, if we want to leave here, as travelers, we can only take this road and cannot leave from the village entrance. Even if we go that way, others will remind us."
No one expected to get such an answer. No one said whether to believe it or not. Anyway, they just asked directly: "Why can't you go through the village entrance?"
Of course, the little rabbit couldn't tell these people the real answer. He smiled and said, "Because we are children, we can't leave by ourselves. But if we go from the back, they will think we are greedy. We can go from the back of the village to the park or some other place. There are some delicious food in the park, so no one will think it's strange if we leave from here. If we go from the village entrance, people will not let us out at all."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was very reasonable: "But how long will this take? If it takes too long, won't it delay them and they will get hurt?"
I was talking so seriously before, but now I remember that someone was injured. However, no one tried to explain this matter. I always felt that the children didn't understand. Since they were clamoring for food, there seemed to be no other way now.
"Where can we eat in this remote place? We might not be able to drive by then."
"We still need to eat." The little rabbit said, "If we are hungry, we must eat our fill before we set off."
Chen Shilan only cared about the little rabbit's opinion. As the car turned a corner, he saw lights in the distance. This was a rest stop between them. It was a small three-story building. It wasn't big, but it was more than enough for a checkpoint. If this road was opened, it was natural to follow up with these defensive and inspection measures. Otherwise, would they let others come and go easily? That would be too inappropriate.
"What is this place?"
This building is actually quite exaggerated in the snow. Although it is just a concrete house, the lights are very bright and can be seen from far away, so it is quite amazing at first glance, especially in this era when it is pitch black everywhere at night.
"A checkpoint is a sentry post. Everyone passing through here is subject to inspection. This includes our car. So if someone asks us what we're doing here, we'll just say we're here to grab a bite to eat before heading into town. Since you don't have the necessary financial resources, you might be in trouble later. So just keep your mouths shut. We'll handle the rest."
Although the little rabbit's words made people feel uncomfortable, there was no other way for them to act because they were blind. As the vehicle approached, they saw the people from the Harmony Era who came out to inspect and praise. It was very dangerous at first glance. Only then did they realize that they had not yet left the safe range, so they spontaneously became very well-behaved without the little rabbit's reminder.
When the car arrived at the place, they found that the young man seemed to be familiar with these people.
Because those armed and serious-looking men smiled sincerely when they saw the young man with the car window rolled down: "Xiao Chen, why are you out so late?"
