A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 230 Arrival
"It's about [-] kilometers to the county seat and takes five and a half hours of driving. If you don't live in the county seat tonight, it may take another four hours to get to the stronghold in the mountains. Four hours includes two hours of mountain roads and two hours of walking."

The driver answered quickly, obviously he had done his homework in advance and he handled it with ease.

"Then let's set off directly. Do you have enough water and food in the car?"

Zhao Dongsheng didn't even think about it. It was almost eleven o'clock now, and there were still nine and a half hours. If he delayed, he would probably arrive very late at night.

"Okay, let's set off. There is plenty of food and water in the car."

The driver picked up the walkie-talkie and communicated for a few words. Then he saw the vehicle in front start to start, and their vehicle followed suit.

The first five and a half hours were very relaxing. Although Wang Cong felt a little uncomfortable when he got off the plane and took a car. However, it was just the beginning and he had no complaints.It’s just that the words started to become less frequent.

After arriving at the county town, the group spent about 10 minutes finding a restaurant, had a casual meal, and then continued on their way.

The rest of the road is not easy to drive, the nights don't come so early in May, but the further you go in the mountains, the slower it gets.

There are many potholes on the road. Nowadays, it is not as common as in later generations. Except for the very remote areas, the roads have been repaired at the doorstep of every house.

The roads now are full of potholes. Fortunately, it hasn't rained recently in the weather in May, otherwise the muddy road will only be more difficult to walk. However, although it is not a muddy road, the dust raised is quite large.

As the car drove on the road, it started out with dense grass on both sides, and gradually turned into a hillside on one side and a cliff on the other. Occasionally, there would be a section of road with a river on one side and a hillside on the other.

Although the road section in the early stage was difficult to walk, it was considered flat, at least there were traces of the road, but the further you walked, the narrower the road became, and it became very bumpy when sitting in the car. From the initial speed of barely [-] per hour, Zhao Dongsheng even I think it might be more comfortable if I go down there and walk.

"arrive."

After driving on a difficult section of road, the road began to become a little flat again. Zhao Dongsheng and others took a breath of relief and heard the driver stop the car and say something to everyone in the car.

The three people involved in this matter looked around. This is a dilapidated small town, and there is even a slogan on a wall beside the road, "Give fewer children and grow more trees".

The place where Zhao Dongsheng and his car parked was a guest house. The building with red bricks and white walls had faded away due to time, leaving only the red bricks, which were then covered by dust. It could barely be seen that it was a red brick structure.

The signboard of the guest house on the right side can only be seen by the faint light inside. It is almost 08:30 in the evening, and there are no street lights on the road. The doors of the shops on both sides were closed tightly, and the mottled rust on the doors could be vaguely seen in the light coming from inside.

"Boss, this is the only guest house in the town. There is the only school in the town. It is the only elementary school in a radius of 168 square kilometers. There are more than a dozen villages nearby, with about hundreds of students. Students go to school here. Tomorrow we can go and see the environment there." (In reality, the location is not in Sichuan Province, but in Yunnan. Please do not take it seriously in the fictional world.)
The guide who came down from the car in front saw Zhao Dongsheng and the others got out of the car and looked around, and came over to introduce them.

"How far is the school from here?"

Zhao Dongsheng looked away, looked at the guide and asked.

"It's about a kilometer, just down the end of the street, about a kilometer."

The guide pointed in the dark.

"Well, okay, when will elementary school start tomorrow?"

"Morning reading is at 07:30, but I suggest we go there at 06:30. They have already returned to school today."

The guide's voice was a little soft when he talked about returning to school.

"Okay, let's move in today. Have the accommodation arrangements been made?"

Zhao Dongsheng turned his head while speaking, and looked at the guest house that should have been built in the 80s.

"It has been arranged. Although the environment is a bit bad, the bedding is clean. This guest house rarely has people coming to stay all year round. It was originally used as a dormitory for the town's health station, and a few rooms were recently vacated."

The guide was a little embarrassed as he spoke. Zhao Dongsheng could understand from his words that he should be a local, but was recruited temporarily.

"How are you two? Are you okay?"

When Zhao Dongsheng got off the car just now, he just felt his legs were a little weak, but after standing for a while, he was fine. However, when Zhang Yuexin and Wang Cong got off the car, their legs were shaking like chaff and they didn't listen at all. This is why Zhao Dongsheng got out of the car and looked around instead of going directly into the guest house.

"Fortunately, nothing happened, let's go."

Wang Cong saw Zhang Yuexin standing next to Zhao Dongsheng, took a breath, said something unwilling to be outdone, and then walked towards Zhao Dongsheng, but when he took a step, he might have lost control of one foot and staggered, so he quickly held on to the car hood. Keep your posture steady.

"Okay, I'll help you take a few steps, and you'll be fine after a while."

Zhao Dongsheng helped, but Wang Cong didn't complain at all along the way, which made Zhao Dongsheng's impression of him even better.

The guest house is called a guest house, but it is actually a two-story building with a yard at the back, and some chickens are raised in the yard.

Zhao Dongsheng's room is on the second floor near the stairs. Yes, the three of them share a room. There are only two rooms available in total. Zhao Dongsheng has three people plus three security personnel and a guide. Zhao Dongsheng has three people. One person lives in one room and four others live in another room.

Inside the room are two simple iron beds with bunk beds. The iron beds are covered with wooden boards and a thin quilt. There is a desk and a chair near the window, but the two vertical bars in the middle of the backrest of the chair are missing. Instead, someone should simply weave you with a rope, and you can barely lean on it. There are also two buckets under the desk, which are convenient for washing.

"It seems that this place was really used as a dormitory before, but it's still clean and tidy. How about Yue Xin and Lao Wang saying that they have no problem with it."

Zhao Dongsheng touched the bed. The quilt was not too thick. Underneath was an army green sheet that was washed a little white. Underneath was a straw mat that smelled like laundry. It seemed that the guide was right. Be clean.

"I can do it, as long as there are no mosquitoes at night."

Zhang Yuexin replied with a smile. Although her face was tired, she still smiled and showed her teeth.

"It doesn't matter, just give me a bed now."

Wang Cong slumped down on the bed, touched the quilt and made sure it was clean, then nodded and said nothing more.
