Anna quickly picked up the milk and ran to the back door, pulling the doorknob with the other hand.

The door seems to be stuck, and I can't open it no matter how I pull it.

Lu Zhongjun got down, went around the front of the car and came to Anna's side, stretched out his hand and tugged, and the door opened.

Anna whispered a thank you to him and got into the car.

Lu Zhongjun slammed the door, returned to the driver's seat, started the car and drove forward, and glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

"Where did you come from, standing on the side of the road like this?"

"There was a student who had dropped out of school, and I went to visit the family. ”

"I'll tell you first, not just go back to the Red Stone Well. First of all, we have to go to a communication base station to send supplies, and then go back when we are done. It is estimated that it will be seven or eight o'clock to arrive. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. As you please. I don't have anything else to do anyway. Anna nodded hurriedly.

Lu Zhongjun looked at her in the rearview mirror again, stopped talking, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated forward, and after a while, he got off the main road and drove on a small road.

The road conditions are getting worse and worse, and the bumps are terrible. Probably trying to arrive before dark, Lu Zhongjun drove very fast, and several times almost pushed the top of Anna's head against the canopy. When the sky was hazy and dark, I finally drove to the side of a mountain. The communication base station is at the top of the mountain, and at this distance, you can vaguely see the shelf of the high-speed rail tower on the top of the mountain.

At this moment, there was a sudden abnormal noise under the hood of the front of the car, and then the engine turned off.

Lu Zhongjun tried to send it a few times, but the car couldn't get it.

"!"

Lu Zhongjun cursed in a low voice, got out of the car and opened the hood to check, came to Anna's side, and knocked on the window.

Anna hurriedly rolled down the window.

"I'm sorry, the oil circuit is out of order. ”

"What then?" Anna's eyes widened.

"It's too dark to be repaired at this point. You can either go up with me, spend the night at the base station, and then go back when I fix the car tomorrow morning. ”

Anna was stunned. Glancing at him, he came to the back of the car after he finished speaking, opened the rear cover of the car, and began to move down the things to be sent, so he had to carry the can of milk and slowly climbed out of the car.

Lu Zhongjun put a roll of wire on his shoulder, carried a large suitcase, left the rest of the things, closed the car door, and turned around and went up the mountain.

Anna could only follow.

A few hundred meters away at the entrance to the mountain road, there is a small parking lot filled with cinders, and it is estimated that the car should have parked here. On the side, there is a narrow mountain road made of stone that twists and turns.

The mountain doesn't look very high, but when you do climb it, it seems that it will never come to an end.

It was getting dark quickly. Lu Zhongjun was ahead, and Anna followed him up. At the beginning, he could keep up, but after climbing out of a hundred stone steps, he began to have sore legs, and he gradually fell behind a distance. As for the jug of milk in his hand, it also became as heavy as a stone. I regret why I want to bring it out for a while. Put it in the car overnight, and it won't break down at such a temperature.

The mountains and forests in this area are still very lush. There seemed to be some strange gurgling sound from time to time, and Anna felt a hairbreak on the back of her head, as if a black hand sticking out of some cave was about to drag her away, and she couldn't pull her face down and told him to wait, gritting her teeth and chasing hard.

Finally, this man didn't forget that there was a big living person like her behind him, and took the initiative to stop and wait for her. When she arrived at the side, she asked, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

Seeing that he was speaking steadily, Anna did not look weak at all, and gritted her teeth and said, "No." I can do it. ”

Lu Zhongjun glanced at her and motioned for her to give him the jug of milk in his hand.

If it weren't for the student's parents' wishes and her own purchase, Anna would have thrown it away a long time ago. Seeing that he took the initiative to take it for himself, he was in the middle of it, but he was a little embarrassed, and said curtly: "...... Ay...... You can't ...... it."

"Less nonsense. Bring it!"

Anna was stunned, her mouth open and closed.

Growing so big, it was the first time she had met a man who spoke so politely. A nameless fire came out of my heart.

"No, I'm grateful that you're willing to give me a ride. How dare I trouble you again!"

Anna lifted her feet and climbed up.

Lu Zhongjun stopped in place, looked at her back as she quickly climbed up, and after a while, followed.

This time he slowed down noticeably. Always following Anna.

Anna held her breath, and finally told her to climb to the base station at the top of the mountain without stopping. It's just that the whole person is completely tired and completely like a dog, and when he sees the two bungalows built on the bulldozed ground, his legs are already trembling, and he is only snorting and panting, and he sits on a stone on the side, puts the milk on the ground, and never wants to stand up again.

The windows of the bungalow were lit with dim lights. As soon as Anna sat down, she heard a dog barking, turned her head and caught a glimpse of a huge wolfdog flashing out of an unknown corner, pounced on her, and immediately screamed.

"Lightning!"

Lu Zhongjun called out the dog's name. The big wolf dog immediately stopped, ran towards Lu Zhongjun instead, and when he came to him, he jumped up, grabbed his shoulders with two paws, and barked loudly, looking very affectionate.

Anna was stunned, sat motionless, and watched as Lu Zhongjun pulled out what looked like a strip of meat and fed it to the dog.

The door of the bungalow opened, and an old man in a sheepskin jacket came out, walking with a little lameness, and raised his voice and said, "Captain Lu is here? I said that people can't eat it, so why do you keep feeding it meat?" As he spoke, the man came to him and took the things that Lu Zhongjun had brought up.

"Lao Ding, my car broke down, and I want to spend the night at your place. There are still some things that I can't put in the car, so let's talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

Lu Zhongjun patted the dog's head, and the dog immediately ran to the side with the meat in his mouth, still staring at Anna.

"Okay, no problem-" Lao Ding turned his head and saw Anna sitting on the stone, stunned.

"Hey, this girl is ......"

Anna hurriedly stood up, and was just about to introduce herself, when Lu Zhongjun had already said: "A teacher in the town, surnamed Li, traveled all the way to visit the student's home, and met me on the way back to take a ride, and the result was to give you a ride." ”

Lao Ding laughed and hurriedly comforted Anna: "Miss Xiao Li is fine! Don't worry! It's cold outside, hurry into the house to warm up." I haven't eaten dinner yet, wait, Uncle will go and fetch some game, and I'll give you a tooth sacrifice in the evening. ”

"Do you want to help?" asked Lu Zhongjun.

"No, no, you just need to accompany Miss Li here. Lao Ding said, turned around and went inside to get a shotgun, "Your Uncle Ding is old, don't brag, the accuracy is not much worse than you, I'll be back later." As he spoke, he took his gun, picked up a lantern, and turned around and left.

"Let's go inside. I wronged you at night and spent the night here. ”

After Lao Ding left, Lu Zhongjun said to Anna, who was still standing by the stone.

Anna didn't even look at him, and turned to go into the house.
