Chapter 26 Going to the County



Jiang Yanqing walked out of the mining area’s family compound and followed his memory along the gravel road for about ten minutes before seeing a bus stop in the distance.

Although the coal mine is located in the county town, it is a mine after all, so it is still some distance away from the urban area.

Because there are quite a lot of residents living here, there are two buses into the city every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Jiang Yanqing looked at the time. It was now nine forty-five in the morning, and the bus would arrive at ten o'clock.

It’s just the right time for me to go into the city to buy some things. I also got some bills from Jiang’s house yesterday, which saved me the trouble of exchanging them myself!

The area around the bus stop was a bit desolate, and the nearby villages were gathered on the other side. At this moment, five or six people were waiting by the bus stop, chatting in groups of three or four.

Jiang Yanqing took a look around and found two of them looked familiar, but she didn't recognize the others.

But I'm just familiar with him, I can't remember his name.

Jiang Yanqing was not someone who liked to gather in groups, so she did not go over and stopped and stood a few meters away from the bus stop.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw a white and green bus coming towards me from a distance. When the bus got closer, it still emitted a strong smell of gasoline.

Jiang Yanqing had only seen buses from the 1970s and 1980s on TV, but this time she saw one in real life and felt a unique sense of fun that transcended time and space.

But until she got on the bus and sat down, Jiang Yanqing felt a little regretful that she had not squeezed in earlier and sat by the window, because the smell of gasoline in the car was even stronger.

It's been a long time since I last felt this way. In this familiar smell of gasoline, Jiang Yanqing even felt as if her grandfather was sitting next to her, gently patting her back, worried that she would get carsick.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yanqing felt a little sad again. In her previous life, her grandfather loved her the most and would take her to the city to play every month.

To go to the city, you have to take a bus, the oldest kind of passenger bus, which is full of the smell of gasoline and makes a lot of noise.

It takes a long time to go to the city, and every time at this time, I would feel dizzy and a little nauseous and lean against my grandfather, who would coax me to sleep.

However, my grandfather passed away later, and he was most worried about me when he left. Fortunately, I grew up healthy and well.

Now, I am reborn again.

Just as Jiang Yanqing was staring out the window in a daze, the bus suddenly stopped and everyone fell forward uncontrollably.

This also included Jiang Yanqing. Fortunately, Jiang Yanqing had been holding the back of the chair in front of him, and his forehead hit the back of his hand, so there was nothing else wrong.

Then, there was a mix of curses in several dialects, which basically meant that the driver had poor driving skills.

The driver was helpless. He had walked this road back and forth countless times. How come there was a person lying on the road today?

But the people in the car were cursing so fiercely that the driver could only shout at the top of his voice, "Okay, there's a person lying in front of us. If we don't stop, are we going to run over him?"

When the people in the car heard this, they became curious and stretched their heads to look outside. Jiang Yanqing also looked outside while rubbing his forehead.

Because I was sitting relatively close to the front, I could clearly see a person in gray clothes lying there, motionless.

Judging from his appearance, it was a man with some gray hair. The car had already driven some distance and was about half an hour away from the city.

The driver was not a heartless person. After parking the car, he thought about getting out to take a look. After a while, he helped someone into the car.

As expected, he was a man in his fifties, and he looked not in a good mental state. The driver helped the man look around, and there happened to be an empty seat next to Jiang Yanqing, so he helped the man sit down.

After the man sat down, the driver glanced at Jiang Yanqing and said, "Girl, please keep an eye on this guy. I'll take him to the hospital when we get to the station."

Jiang Yanqing nodded, agreeing. The driver returned to his driver's seat and the car started up again.

On the way, the man forced himself to sit still and did not lean towards Jiang Yanqing. Jiang Yanqing kept looking at the man's face, which was dark and yellow, probably because of his liver problem.

The man was wearing an ordinary gray Zhongshan suit, and his identity was hard to tell. I just didn't know why he was lying alone on the road.

Jiang Yanqing was a little curious about these things, but didn't care much. Her experiences in her previous life had made her somewhat cold-hearted and she didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs.

But when it comes to doing good deeds, Jiang Yanqing is occasionally willing to do so. After all, she has a special experience, so she might as well consider it as accumulating merit.

Fortunately, there were no more accidents on the rest of the journey, and Jiang Yanqing was no longer distracted because she was always paying attention to the man's situation.

After the bus arrived at the Leshan County Bus Station, the passengers got off one after another. When the driver came from the front, Jiang Yanqing also stood up and prepared to get off.

The driver politely said thank you to Jiang Yanqing, and Jiang Yanqing politely replied, "You're welcome."

Before getting off the car, Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but look at the already sober man and said, "Comrade, your liver is not feeling well. You'd better go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible."

Regardless of whether he knows it or not, he has encountered it after all, so it is a good intention to remind him.

The man looked up at Jiang Yanqing and nodded. Jiang Yanqing also nodded and got out of the car.
