Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 328: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (33)

As time passed, the sky broke free from the shackles of the night and revealed a light, gentle blue-gray color.

The most delicate stroke of nature is at dawn.

The stars have not yet completely disappeared, and they are still flickering their last rays of light in the gradually brightening sky, contrasting with the faint silver edges of the distant mountain outlines.

After several hours of escape, they had already widened the distance between them. Even if the people in the village noticed, they would not be able to catch up with them in a short time.

The wheels rolled over the road, making a steady and rhythmic sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet morning.

After adapting for a while, He Shanshan's motion sickness was much relieved, and she was able to observe her surroundings with more energy.

She lay by the open window, staring out.

There was a thin mist outside the car window, and the mountains were layered and looming in the morning light.

The mountain path seemed a little wider than before, with lush trees on both sides, which made people feel relaxed.

According to Jiang Qiuchen's estimation, they were not far from the population center outside. When they turned the corner, they could vaguely catch a glimpse of the buildings at the foot of the mountain.

"Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to know first?"

Perhaps because hope was right before his eyes, Jiang Qiuchen even had some leisure time to make a joke.

He Shanshan heard the noise, withdrew her gaze from the window, and said while turning sideways.

"Then let's listen to the good news first. It's early in the morning, so we need something sweet first."

The speed of the van became slower and slower. After sliding forward for a while, it stopped completely in the same place, refusing to move forward.

Jiang Qiuchen put his hands on the steering wheel and rubbed his sore neck tiredly.

"The good news is that we are now close to the town outside. Hopefully we can get inside and transfer to other means of transportation to leave here."

"The bad news is obvious. The car is out of gas and can't move anymore."

He Shanshan looked at the stalled car and sighed with some regret. Although she had been mentally prepared, she still felt a little tired when the time came.

"We have to walk the next section of the road on our own. To be on the safe side, we can't stay on the main road all the time. We have to go up the mountain and then sneak down along the road."

"But it's very early now. One day is enough for us to reach the foot of the mountain. But we must be careful and try to be as fast as possible. We must not stay until the next day to prevent the villagers from chasing us out."

"Okay, now choose some dry food according to your physical strength and get ready to go."

"If you take too much, you will lose money. Don't take too much. You will waste your energy and it will not be worth it."

Jiang Qiuchen leaned sideways and said a few more words, then unbuckled his seat belt, jumped out of the car, and went to the back seat to pick out the things he needed.

He Shanshan followed closely behind, unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

When she first landed, she still felt a little dizzy, the whole world was spinning, and she almost couldn't stand.

After taking several deep breaths of fresh air, I gradually recovered.

At this moment, Jiang Qiuchen had already picked out what he needed and came over with concern.

"Sister Shanshan, are you okay?"

"There's some water here. Would you like to have a sip first, Shunshun?"

Jiang Qiuchen turned on the water and handed it over.

After drinking a few sips of water, He Shanshan's nausea symptoms improved a lot, and she smiled gratefully.

"It's okay, I'll pack my things right away."

He Shanshan swiftly tore off a plastic bag and filled it with some light and easy-to-carry food.

"I'm done packing, let's go." He Shanshan picked up her things and was about to leave when Jiang Qiuchen stopped her.

"Wait, there's one more thing we need to do."

Hearing this, He Shanshan looked puzzled, "What else is there to do?"

Jiang Qiucheng pointed at the van that was still there and said, "We can't just leave this car here. We have to destroy it."

"Ah?" He Shanshan looked at the rather large van, seeming to be troubled about how to deal with this big guy.

Jiang Qiuchen took a few steps forward and looked down. The place where the car was parked was exactly at the corner of the mountain road. If the two of them worked together, it would not be impossible to push it down directly.

Moreover, there seemed to be traces of flowing water under the layers of vines.

In such a humid environment, the speed at which the car corrodes and decomposes will be greatly increased, which is conducive to eliminating any remaining traces.

"Sister Shanshan, come and give me a hand, let's push the car down!"

He Shanshan's eyes suddenly widened, she looked at herself in disbelief, then at Jiang Qiuchen.

But the other party looked so serious that she couldn't say no.

At first, He Shanshan thought that this matter could not be accomplished no matter what, but what she didn't expect was that with the combined efforts of the two, the car actually moved a little forward.

Although the distance is short, it is enough to be exciting.

Then Jiang Qiuchen squatted down and dug out the sand and gravel under the front wheel, and then used a small slope to increase the pushing distance.

"Sister Shanshan, try harder!"

"it is good!"

He Shanshan moved her arms, leaned against the back of the car, and pushed her feet forward hard.

With the combined efforts of the two men, the van slowly moved toward the edge of the cliff. Every step was accompanied by the sound of falling gravel, which echoed in the valley and was particularly harsh.

As the van got closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, the two men's breathing became more and more rapid.

Sweat dripped down their cheeks and onto the dirt and gravel.

"Boom——"

With a dull roar, the van lost its balance, rushed forward, rolled and fell into a bottomless cliff.

Jiang Qiuchen and He Shanshan stood side by side, watching the van rolling down the slope of the mountain.

It eventually sank into a pool covered with vines, and after the turmoil, it returned to its original calm.

"Let's go."

Jiang Qiuchen turned and left without any hesitation, and He Shanshan followed closely behind.

……

As the two men rushed down the mountain, the villagers in the village also started a new day's activities.

People living near Xing Qingbo's home were only slightly confused for a moment when they saw that their door was closed today.

Not seeing Xing Qingbo's car, they thought he had suddenly gone out to purchase goods, because this had happened occasionally before.

When Xing Qingbo was not at home, he was worried about letting He Shanshan handle the family's money, so the grocery store would be closed for a day. It was understandable that it was not open.

It was not until after noon that they suddenly heard the continuous crying of children and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Why is the child crying so hard for no reason?
The more enthusiastic neighbors around went forward and tentatively pushed the door of Xing Qingbo's house, but found that the door was not locked at all.

I hurried upstairs and found that there was no one else there except the child.
