Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 326: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (31)

Jiang Qiuchen lowered his voice and urged He Shanshan to speed up.

He Shanshan didn't dare to delay. She immediately opened the car door, threw her things into the back seat, and fastened her seat belt with the help of Jiang Qiuchen.

"Whoosh-"

Only when she got in the car did she dare to relax a little and breathe deeply and rapidly.

"I'm ready! Let's go!"

He Shanshan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but her throat still felt very dry. However, she did not dare to hesitate for a moment, for fear of being left behind.

"Hold on tight, we're leaving now!"

Jiang Qiuchen looked straight ahead, ready for action. After starting the car, he drove out along the path.

Thanks to the fact that Xing Qingbo's home is at the entrance of the village, the car would not be able to drive in any deeper.

When the vehicle started, the roar was particularly obvious, but Jiang Qiuchen didn't care too much and could only pray to God that the sleeping villagers didn't notice their actions.

It was not until the van successfully drove out of the village and drove on the long and winding road that He Shanshan barely felt the reality.

She escaped! She really left that damn place!

Jiang Qiuchen's tense nerves finally got a chance to relax, but it was far from enough.

They had just left the village, so if the people inside wanted to chase them, they might still be caught up.

The mountain roads here are winding, and four wheels are sometimes not as flexible as two wheels. It takes at least an hour of safe driving to completely create distance.

Jiang Qiuchen took the time to glance back and saw that it was full of things, so he couldn't help but joke.

"Sister Shanshan, you have emptied everything inside."

"But it's good too. It's better to be prepared than to have nothing."

These words broke the slightly tense atmosphere at the moment, and He Shanshan became a little bolder and responded cheerfully.

"That's right. When Xing Qingbo was still alive and well, he didn't allow me to eat this or touch that. Now he's not doing well anymore, so I'm going to collect all his treasures."

"Oh, right, I just went upstairs to get the money, and I found a thousand dollars in the house."

"The reason we were able to escape today was mainly due to your contribution. I'll give you half of this money, 500 yuan each. No matter what, when you get out, you'll have enough money to have a hot meal and find a place to stay temporarily."

As she spoke, He Shanshan took out a thousand yuan from her pocket. After counting five bills, she rolled up the money and stuffed it into Jiang Qiuchen's pocket.

After stuffing it in, he carefully looked at Jiang Qiuchen's expression.

She thought that if the other party was not satisfied, she would just give him another two hundred. On the surface, it would not be a big deal to lose a little, since she still had some tricks up her sleeve.

You must never make the other party unhappy. If you leave her alone on the road, you will be helpless.

In He Shanshan's eyes, Jiang Qiuchen is now the most important person in the world. No matter who she offends, she cannot offend her.

Jiang Qiuchen didn't have any complicated thoughts. She just took the money. At this time, five hundred yuan still had a lot of purchasing power. It should be enough to support her to go to City A to find her cheap father Jiang Hualin.

If it’s not enough, she will think of a solution later.

Jiang Qiucheng had no intention of extorting money from He Shanshan from the beginning, but for the two of them to escape, they needed some financial support, and since she didn't have any, she could only let He Shanshan dig out Xing Qingbo's past. Now that He Shanshan was willing to give her 500 yuan, it was already a satisfactory result.

"Okay, Sister Shanshan, I won't be polite with you. I'll take this money. Consider it as a thank you fee for helping you escape."

Seeing that Jiang Qiuchen did not look unhappy, He Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back with her tense body against the recliner.

She hadn't thought too much just now, but now that she had come to her senses, the feeling of swaying from side to side was really... really making her want to vomit!

He Shanshan closed her mouth and kept swallowing, trying to suppress the urge in her stomach that was churning up.

Her strange behavior soon caught Jiang Qiuchen's attention, and he kindly tried to persuade her.

"Sister Shanshan? Are you carsick?"

"Look in the back for sour fruit candies or something like that. Put them in your mouth and press them down."

"If it doesn't work, just use a plastic bag to catch the vomit."

"You have to understand that you can't stop and rest at this time."

He Shanshan naturally knew this and smiled apologetically.

"I know. You don't have to worry about me. It doesn't matter how fast you drive. I'll just get a plastic bag myself."

"I've rarely ridden in a car before, and I really can't stand the swaying feeling. I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble."

He Shanshan was quite cooperative along the way. She was clear-headed and easy to talk to, so Jiang Qiuchen had a good impression of her.

"It's okay. We are the only two people who share the same pain, so we should naturally understand each other."

"But there is one thing I need to tell you first. This car doesn't have much gas left. I don't know how far we can go."

"It's very likely that the engine will break down halfway through the journey. At that time, we may have to rely on ourselves and carry dry food to get out. You have to be mentally prepared."

He Shanshan was shocked at the moment, and suddenly felt a little sad, and said with a sob.

"I didn't expect that even at this time, God would still trip us up. Why is my life so miserable!"

Hearing this obviously negative tone, Jiang Qiuchen frowned slightly, a little displeased.

Everything depends on human efforts. It was not easy for them to leave the village smoothly. They had to make the best and worst-case scenarios for every step and not blame others for temporary setbacks.

Let’s not talk about when the car ran out of gas. Even if it ran out of gas in the next second, it would not affect the next action.

"Sister Shanshan, we can just sit still in the car right now. There's no need to get pessimistic so quickly."

"Look at our back seat. This food is enough for the two of us to eat for quite a while. At least we won't go hungry."

"After the distance increases, it will be difficult for people in the village to find us. As long as we can keep moving forward, we can get out of the mountains completely."

After a brief period of depression, He Shanshan came to her senses and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Arya, you're right! No matter what happens next, it's better than being trapped in that damn place."

"Now there are two of us. If we support and help each other, we will definitely be able to get out of this!"

Looking at He Shanshan who had regained her momentum, Jiang Qiuchen smiled with satisfaction and continued to drive the car with full concentration, driving forward with a determined look in his eyes.
