The car drove smoothly all the way, and as time passed, Xiaomei's round face gradually became excited.

"Brother driver, in half an hour, I will be able to reach my sister-in-law's village. After chatting for a while, the girl named Xiaomei and the driver Xiao Zhang became familiar with each other, and even the title changed from the driver's master to the driver's eldest brother.

"Hah, I can finally get to a place where there are people. The look on Xiao Zhang's face was a lot happier, he looked at the time, and before he knew it, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and he needed to be vigilant at all times along the way, and he wished he could stop and take a breath.

And Tang Xiao, who was napping in the back seat, also opened her eyes and looked down at Pei Yuansheng lying on her lap, he was still sleeping soundly, and his posture had not changed, she reached out and touched his forehead worriedly, fortunately, the temperature was normal.

Tang Xiao's legs were a little numb, but he didn't dare to move, for a person like Pei Yuansheng, it was rare to get a good night's sleep, continue to go deep into the mountains, I don't know what I have to face next, it's rare to have a moment of stability, just let him sleep for the time being.

There seemed to be more and more gravel on the road, even if Xiao Zhang was careful and tried hard to avoid it, it would still inevitably run over some stones, every time the car was bumpy, Tang Xiao had to carefully protect Pei Yuansheng, and later, she simply reached out and put it under Pei Yuansheng's head, lest he wake up because of the bumps.

After a long time, his legs were numb and his hands were sore, but Tang Xiao had no complaints. After all, compared to what Pei Yuansheng did for her, she could give him too little and too little.

"Are you tired?" At this time, Jin Xiaoyi suddenly turned around and asked.

Tang Xiao shook his head and smiled: "How can it be, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Jin Xiaoyi looked at Tang Xiao and said with a smile: "Even if it's this little thing, I can't do it for him." Smile and smile...... I really envy you sometimes. ”

"Xiaoyi, don't be discouraged. Tang Xiao comforted, "I want to ...... He'll know what you're thinking. ”

Jin Xiaoyi shook her head with a wry smile, staring at Pei Yuansheng with a foolish look in her eyes, and only withdrew her gaze after a long while.

There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and Tang Xiao looked out the window in surprise, "Is there thunder?"

The driver, Xiao Zhang, slowed down the already slow speed, and this kind of weather, coupled with thunderstorms, is really difficult to walk.

Only Xiaomei, a girl from a mountain village, was lying by the window looking at the sky in the distance, her expression gradually turned from solemn to frightened.

Be...... Mudslides?

Xiaomei didn't dare to think about it, in her distant memory, she had experienced a mudslide, when she was only three years old, and a few older children in the village were fishing for shrimp by the fish pond outside the village, and she also heard such a sound at that time, she was afraid of thunder and ran back, and the older children never returned to the village.

A sudden mudslide covered several fish ponds outside the village, along with a small thatched hut by the fish pond.

The people in the village said that Xiao Meifu had a great life, otherwise, he would never have been able to avoid the terrible mudslide.

Xiaomei didn't feel anything when she was a child, but the older she gets, the more scared she is when she recalls what happened at that time.

People who live in the mountains encounter landslides are common, and some people ask why the people in Zhuangzi don't move outside to live, why live in this poor and bitter mountain, but the people in the mountains have nothing but land, even if those fields are barren, as long as they don't encounter drought and flash floods, at least they can rely on the crops in the fields to maintain food and clothing.

This is a helpless thing, Xiaomei knows that people in the mountains will die in the mountains, many people in the mountains have been poor for many years, and they can't get a daughter-in-law, and they will only try their best to get a woman from outside, and then trap people in the mountains and let people have sons.

But what can I do if I have a son? The mountains are so poor, and the children in the mountains have grown up, if the daughter is fine, she can barely save some dowry, find someone to talk to the matchmaker, and if she is lucky, she will marry out, and if she is a son, she will either find a girl who is willing to marry her, or she will follow the old path of the previous generation and use dishonorable means to "get" a woman from outside......

Xiaomei suddenly hated the endless mountains in front of her, the mountains are very beautiful, the air is good, the water quality is good, the flowers are brighter than the outside, and even the fruits are sweeter than the outside, but the mountains are not a paradise...... The people in Taoyuan don't worry about eating and drinking, but the people in the mountains are very poor and have nothing, so they can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, pray for God to have good weather and pray that no natural disasters will fall......

Is it thunder or a mudslide? Xiaomei was afraid, she didn't know whether to tell the driver's eldest brother, I was afraid that there was danger ahead.

It stands to reason that she should have said that it would be better to turn back in time, but there was a voice in her heart that stopped her again - no one had entered the mountain in the first place, and if something really happened in the mountain, they would have gone in, at least they could help spread the news...... It's just that she can't guarantee that she can come back safely after entering......

"Xiaomei, are we almost there?" The driver, Xiao Zhang, couldn't help but smile when he saw that Xiaomei had been lying by the window and looking out.

Xiaomei turned her head and nodded in a daze, but she was a little afraid to look into the other party's eyes.

Xiao Zhang felt strange: "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you? ”

Jin Xiaoyi also looked at Xiaomei: "Could it be that I am cowardly in my hometown? ”

Xiaomei feels that she can't hide it from everyone anymore, after all, it is everyone's right to choose whether to continue or not. She can't be so selfish.

So she licked her lips, which were a little dry, and said in a low voice, "I...... I just heard thunder ......"

"Ahem, everyone heard it, what's wrong with the thunder?" the driver Xiao Zhang said disapprehantly, "Anyway, we all came in in the rain, and we have been walking for so long now, and we are still afraid that the thunder will not happen?" Xiaomei, you shouldn't be afraid, right?"

Xiaomei let out a "hmm", raised her yellowish face, and showed a look of fear and nervousness in her slender eyes, "Big brother driver...... I'm afraid it's not thunder, it's ...... It's ......"

"What is it?" the driver, Xiao Zhang, still smiled, as if he didn't take Xiaomei's nervousness seriously.

Jin Xiaoyi sensitively realized that Xiaomei's mood was wrong, and said to Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, listen to it first, and listen to what Xiaomei has to say." ”

"Ah...... Good. The driver Xiao Zhang was stunned, but he still listened to Jin Xiaoyi's words and stopped the car. After all, everyone in the branch of Pei's Group in Province C knows that the special assistant to the general manager who has just come here has a good reputation, and this time Xiao Zhang came over, and someone privately inquired about Xiao Zhang, asking Pei if he always wanted to take the Miss Jin, whom he had personally interviewed, back to the head office.

Xiao Zhang can't understand the relationship between this Miss Jin and Mr. Pei, after all, judging from his experience of driving Mr. Pei for so long, the person Mr. Pei likes is that Miss Tang, but I heard that Miss Tang is married, is it more likely that Miss Jin will be on the throne? It seems that the relationship between Miss Jin and Miss Tang seems to be quite good......

Xiao Zhang didn't dare to offend anyone who might be the future boss lady, so even in the face of Jin Xiaoyi, who was only a special assistant at the moment, he didn't dare to slack off at all.

The car stopped, outside the window, there were bean-sized raindrops snapping on the glass, and the mountains and forests in the distance were blown and rolled by the wind, like bursts of black waves, which made people feel a little worried.

Jin Xiaoyi also had a bad premonition in her heart, and she asked the nervous girl as gently as possible: "Xiaomei, tell me, what happened ahead?"

Xiaomei frustrated her hands, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Jin Xiaoyi's sharp gaze, and muttered, "I...... I'm not sure, but listen to the voice...... Like, like a mudslide. ”

As soon as Xiaomei spoke, the car was instantly quiet, even if they live in a big city all year round, but these people also know the horror of mudslides, not to mention Xiaomei, a person who has experienced mudslides.

I don't know when, Pei Yuansheng also opened his eyes, and the calm light exuding from his inky black eyes was as if he had never been asleep at all.

Jin Xiaoyi found out that Pei Yuansheng woke up before Tang Xiao, so her heart inexplicably settled down, as long as Pei Yuansheng was there, what was she afraid of? Anyway, whether she was alive or dead, she was with him. What is there to regret about dying in the same place as him in this life?

So she gently raised her red lips, and a respectful and gentle smile appeared on her delicate makeup: "Mr. Pei, shall we continue to move forward?"

Pei Yuansheng slowly straightened up, and when he turned his back to Tang Xiao, he frowned almost inaudibly, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold his chest, but he forcibly withdrew this action and put his hand into a fist at his side.

Then, a smile bloomed on his pale and handsome face, and his eyes swept comfortingly over Xiao Mei, Xiao Zhang, and Jin Xiaoyi, who were looking at him, as if they had some magic, and the nervous looks on Xiao Mei and Xiao Zhang's faces were swept away.

Even though he looked pale and thin, there was a power in him that people could trust.

"Xiaoxiao, I know that no matter what lies ahead, you will definitely want to find Xiaoru and them, right?" he said to Tang Xiao with a smile.

Tang Xiao nodded firmly in his eyes and said, "I must find Xiaoru and them...... But, Pei Yuansheng, you and Xiaoru and Xiao Zhang, you don't have to accompany me on the adventure, including Xiaomei, I thought of this, the further back the car is, the less useful it is, I bring rain gear and hiking shoes, and I can walk over the road by myself. Pei Yuansheng, you go back first, I'm serious. After all, the road down there is unpredictable, and you don't need to risk your life for me. ”

Pei Yuansheng sighed and said softly: "Fool, what do you think...... Am I going to leave you behind?"
