Li Shaozhong listened to his wife's unconventional idea and thought it was a good idea. He thought it was like a self-driving tour. It was just that the scenery was not very good. But as long as he was with his wife, anywhere was fine.
Li Shaozhong asked, "Wife, should we find a town to eat lunch or eat on the road?"
Ye Shuning said, "I brought some food with me, and there are cooking utensils in the back of the truck. We can cook in the wild. But for lunch today, let's eat the cooked food I brought with us and drink some hot water. We can have a good meal at the hotel tonight."
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
At noon, the two of them ate the egg pancakes that Ye Shuning had made in the morning and drank some hot water.
Ye Shuning actually had a goal in mind. She wasn't going to take Li Shaozhong running around; there was no point wasting time. She looked up information online and found a suitable place, so they headed straight there.
At night, Li Shaozhong arrived at a county town as planned, found the local armed forces department, took out a letter of introduction, and parked the truck in the yard of the armed forces department to ensure the safety of the supplies on the truck.
The armed forces were very cooperative. After all, the credentials Li Shaozhong and his men had were impressive. Furthermore, Li Shaozhong only needed to park his car for a short while, with no other requests. They were just helping to guard the supplies for one night, no big deal.
After arranging the vehicle, Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning found a nearby guesthouse and booked a room with their marriage certificate and letter of introduction.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, both of them have outstanding temperaments, so they are very eye-catching. But neither of them cares.
After putting their things for the evening in the room, the two of them went to eat. They went directly to a nearby state-owned restaurant, ordered two bowls of hot noodle soup and some steamed buns, and ate a warm meal.
After eating a bowl of hot soup noodles, both of them had sweat on their foreheads, which was very comfortable.
Li Shaozhong looked at his tired wife and said, "You must be exhausted today. Let's rest early today."
Ye Shuning shook her head and said, "It's okay. Today you were the one driving, and I just sat there. It's not tiring at all."
Li Shaozhong stroked his wife's hair and said, "Even just sitting there all day is very tiring. If you can't handle it, we can rest here for two more days. It's still early and there's still time."
Ye Shuning didn't think she was that delicate. "We've only been out for a day and I'm fine. I'm fine. If I were really tired, I would take the initiative to ask for a rest."
After driving all day, they were all very tired. After dinner, Li Shaozhong took Ye Shuning back to the guesthouse, wanting his wife to rest early.
The conditions of the guesthouse in this county town are not very good. There is no heating, so the room is very cold.
Ye Shuning was mentally prepared for the environment in the guesthouse. She took out the sheets she had brought and spread them on the original bed. They also brought their own quilts, and it was comfortable to cover themselves with their own clean and thick quilts, which made them feel less uncomfortable psychologically.
Li Shaozhong had taken out two quilts from the back of the truck. The room was so cold, so he didn't plan to sleep separately from his wife. Instead, he covered the quilt with another one, which would be much warmer.
Li Shaozhong first filled two hot water bottles and stuffed them into the quilt, then boiled some hot water for his wife to wash her face and feet, and then stuffed his wife into the already warm quilt.
Lying in the warm quilt, Ye Shuning stretched her body and felt so comfortable.
After washing up, Li Shaozhong poured water for washing his feet. He returned to his room, locked the door, turned off the light, and got into bed. He hugged his wife in his arms, "I'll keep you warm. You won't be cold in a while."
Maybe it's because men are more energetic, Li Shaozhong's body was warm, and Ye Shuning felt like there was a heater next to her when she was held in his arms and she wasn't cold at all.
Ye Shuning was indeed a little tired, so she adjusted herself to a comfortable position and fell asleep in her husband's arms. She slept peacefully with her husband by her side.
In the darkness, Li Shaozhong felt that his wife fell asleep quickly. He curled up the corners of his mouth, tucked the quilt in for his wife, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After a good night's sleep, the couple woke up feeling warm all over and not cold at all. This was because the two thick quilts they brought with them worked.
It was already daybreak. Li Shaozhong looked down at his wife who had woken up and asked softly, "Did you sleep well?"
Ye Shuning's lips curled up. "Very good. I slept through the night. With you as my big heater, I'm not cold at all. I feel safe and secure."
Li Shaozhong smiled and was in a very good mood when he heard his wife's praise early in the morning.
After getting dressed and washing up, they went to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast, then returned to the guesthouse with their luggage and checked out. They put their bedding in the back of the truck and drove off again.
Li Shaozhong had studied the map long beforehand, so their route was well planned. They wouldn't camp outdoors easily, usually finding a safe place to stay in a town.
However, if they could not find a populated area at noon, they would cook their own food in the wild, or buy some food from a state-owned restaurant in the town where they had stayed before and heat it up before eating it at noon.
Li Shaozhong took good care of Ye Shuning along the way. Ye Shuning didn't find it difficult at all, except for the inconvenience of taking a shower. The two of them saw different scenery along the way, which was quite interesting.
The two of them were not walking very fast. After more than ten days of walking, they had already entered the territory of Province N. The land here was obviously much more desolate, with fewer trees, and the shadow of the desert could be seen. Ye Shuning knew that they were approaching the desert.
The two were driving when suddenly a tree appeared in the middle of the road, blocking their way. Li Shaozhong stopped the car immediately.
In order to get through, the big tree in the middle of the road had to be moved away, so Li Shaozhong prepared to get out of the car to move the tree away.
Just as Li Shaozhong was about to open the car door and get out, Ye Shuning grabbed him and said, "Honey, don't get out. We're not going this way anymore. Turn the car around and take another way."
Li Shaozhong turned to look at his wife in surprise, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
Ye Shuning's scattered spiritual power revealed a number of people lurking not far away, all staring at her car. It looked like they were being robbed. There were so many people lurking, and even if she had weapons, Ye Shuning didn't want Li Shaozhong to take the risk. They just didn't want to take this route.
Ye Shuning said, "The big tree ahead was deliberately placed there. We're being robbed. Let's turn the car around and leave."
Li Shaozhong didn't hesitate when he heard this. He believed his wife, and he also felt something was wrong, so he immediately turned the steering wheel and turned the car around.
The group lurking not far away saw that the driver of the car they had stopped not only did not get out of the car, but instead turned the car around and fled. How could this be allowed? They had finally encountered a big fish and could not let him get away.
