Chapter 11: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

"Sister, sister-in-law, you really looked like an ostrich just now." Lin Tao wanted to make her laugh while driving.

But Xiao Yuchan didn't react at all, she was tightly wrapped in the blanket, her eyes staring at the night, her whole body was still trembling, not saying a word, motionless, obsessed. Along the way, I either slept with my head covered in a blanket, or just didn't say a word. ignored the questioning of the two.

Yu Songyuan panicked, so he had to walk from the passenger seat to the back seat and hold her tightly in his arms. He could feel that her body, still trembling slightly, was still trembling from time to time, obviously frightened by the scene of the night.

"Boss, the right side is too close to the left, which side of the lake to take?" When he was about to reach the lake, Lin Tao was a little hesitant.

Yu Songyuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered Lin Xue. This time, he said that he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives, but in fact, he went to complete the task. He misses Lin Xue, he wants to go with her to worship Grandma Lin Xue'er once, but he has a wish. At this moment, there was a burst of desire to go home in his heart, so he said, "On the left, follow National Highway 104, then turn to Provincial Highway 230 to go around the lake, and go home by crossing the river in Chengjiang County!" ”

Xiao Yuchan sat like a piece of wood, stupidly. Finally, she may have been tired, her head lay on Yu Songyuan's shoulder, and she slowly fell asleep. It's just that after sleeping for a while, you will wake up. When he raised his head and saw that he was sleeping in Yu Songyuan's arms, he would slowly continue to sleep.

In the second half of the night, Yu Songyuan took a nap, and then changed Lin Tao to rest, and he drove. Xiao Yuchan was like a ball of cotton, lying on Lin Tao's shoulder again, and fell asleep all the time.

The two of them were so worried that they took turns guarding her. Based on the knowledge they had accumulated in the training camp, people like her were scared, and as long as they could get a good night's sleep, they would generally recover slowly. In the words of Tao Hong, it is self-adaptation, self-treatment and recovery of the body.

They did not dare to speak, for fear of waking her up. Finally, before dawn, Xiao Yuchan woke up. This time I woke up, not woke up. She raised her head and looked around, only to understand that it was Lin Tao holding him, so she sat up straight embarrassedly.

"Are you awake? Sister, no, it's a sister-in-law. When you get some sleep, do you feel like the sky is wide and wide? Brother-in-law Lin Tao slept all the way with his sister-in-law, this time I can't tell ......" Lin Tao rubbed his eyes and opened up again.

"Xiexie, little brother. Sister-in-law is fine, don't worry. Xiao Yuchan finally spoke, but she slept and entered the role. The self-proclaimed one is not a sister, but a sister-in-law.

Lin Tao walked to the front co-pilot and sat down, glanced at Yu Songyuan, and smiled wickedly. Yu Songyuan was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, he glanced back at Xiao Yuchan, and wanted to reprimand her a few words, but it could be seen that she still looked numb and serious, so he swallowed the words back.

It was almost dawn, and on the side of the provincial road in front, a large village along the lake appeared, as well as a gas station. Lin Tao went to refuel first, and then chose an early stall. The three of them washed their hands and faces until they washed and dried the blood stains on their hands and faces, and asked Xiao Yuchan to check that there was nothing abnormal, and then they started to eat breakfast.

Xiao Yuchan had not yet recovered from the horror of the night, her face was gray, her expression was blank, she looked around, grabbed Yu Songyuan's arm tightly, and followed him step by step. Lin Tao still had a wicked smile on his face, but Yu Songyuan knew that Xiao Yuchan was very frightened and needed a period of recovery. He took care of her as if he were a little mute.

He regretted it a little and blamed himself for being selfish.

There is only such a lone seedling left in the Xiao family, if she is frightened and stupid, the sin will be great. Rather than that, it would have been better to leave her to the police in the first place. As for Huang Ji, if he can't get a trip to Taipei, raid his nest and catch him an old hooligan, it's a matter of minutes, and it's just a matter of minutes.

After breakfast, continue to the north, the weather is fine all the way, the breeze is gentle, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, the scenery is excellent, Xiao Yuchan's face is slowly a little bloody. This time it was Lin Tao driving, he glanced back at her, and became more and more worried, so he deliberately asked cautiously, "Sister, little sister-in-law, your hometown is the hometown of Yue Opera, such haode weather, such haode scenery, come and take a short while!" ”

Xiao Yuchan was expressionless, looking at Lin Tao a little blankly, not understanding what he just said. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao began to panic again, how can this be good? Lin Tao said carefully again, Xiao Yuchan understood this time, nodded, and looked very obedient, and actually hummed a small tune:

"I was speechless when I asked a question, how did he know that I was a woman with red makeup. should have told him about his life, but suddenly remembered that there were three orders for his father when he was leaving. Think twice about being reckless, and hide the words to the tip of your tongue for the time being......"

Xiao Yuchan has a sweet voice, and the lyrics are classics that have been sung through the ages, and the combination of the two is of course more beautiful. Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao didn't expect her to sing this paragraph without thinking about it. Lin Tao smiled and glanced at Yu Songyuan in the passenger seat, Yu Songyuan knew that this girl sang unintentionally, and subconsciously the girl was thinking of spring, which was normal.

He was extremely unhappy with Lin Tao's treacherous smile. Feeling that this little bastard was extremely incredible, or at least lacking in sympathy, he angrily twisted his head towards the lake.

Xiao Yuchan didn't pay attention to these at all, she continued to sing: "When we meet on the grass bridge, we go on a blind date, and the classmates are more affectionate for three years." Leaving the jade ring as a token, the annoying wife said marriage. Before leaving, I was sent to Qiantang Road, and I forgot to show my heart several times. I am in a pair of shadows with you on the water, and I worship Guanyin in front of your hall. How do you know that good things become lies, and the mandarin ducks are separated......"

In the end, Xiao Yuchan sings beautifully, lingering, delicate, sometimes unrestrained, high-pitched, enthusiastic, sometimes smooth, stretched, and deep. At the end of the song, the aftermath is lingering and infectious. Perhaps it was the beautiful haode melody that made Xiao Yuchan forget her fear for a while, and her face was a little ruddy.

"Little sister-in-law, you are so good-looking and have such good singing skills, why don't you be a professional actor?" Lin Tao said what he said from his heart, and after speaking, he didn't forget to look at Yu Songyuan with a smile.

Xiao Yuchan's IQ is almost zero, and she still said expressionlessly, "Cut." Where are we, any girl can hum two sentences, and the big guys and big bosses have them. I'm just an amateur, it's okay to play by myself, and I can't be on the big stage. ”

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao glanced at each other, and the ice slowly and naturally melted. These words should be the true colors, this girl is slowly recovering, and both of them feel a little at ease. Although they had teased Tao Hong at them, they all hated them a little bit in their hearts. But this Tao Hong, don't talk about how good you look, whether you say it or do it, the rest is really professional and not ambiguous at all.

From National Highway 104 to Provincial Highway 230, all the way to the dust, by the evening, it has arrived at the outskirts of Chengjiang. Along the way, the two took turns driving. And Xiao Yuchan has been wrapped in a blanket, just sleeping with her head bored. Occasionally, he would wake up by himself and look around in panic, but when he saw the two of them, he would calm down again, and then slowly fall asleep.

When she arrived at the rest point, she still didn't say a word, grabbing Yu Songyuan's arm, as if she was afraid that he would run away. Everyone went to the toilet, but she stood motionless next to Yu Songyuan. The two felt very uncomfortable, so they had to light a cigarette and talk loudly outside the women's toilet before she dared to walk in amid their blind chat.

When Lin Tao was driving, Yu Songyuan was afraid that she would be afraid, so he had to go to the back seat to hug her. Xiao Yuchan fell asleep again, and he himself took a nap. When he was about to reach the river, Lin Tao woke up Yu Songyuan, "Boss, wake up, do you want to cross the river now or tomorrow?" ”

Yu Song looked at his watch from afar, and it was eleven forty o'clock at night, "There is no ferry at this point, stop!" ”

Lin Tao stopped the car, and he and Xiao Yuchan looked at Yu Songyuan in puzzlement. Yu Songyuan looked at Lin Tao and said firmly, "They are chasing very quickly, we can't bring them into Jiangbei!" ”

Lin Tao said happily, "Great, I completely agree, just go straight to school." It's only been about twenty days, so why run back and forth. Besides, it only takes a few hours to get to Jinling from here. ”

The car slowly went west along the 338 Provincial Highway along the river, and the lights on both sides of the road were bright, and the lights were red and green, and it was busy. I found a small shop that was cleaner, asked for three bowls of noodles, ate them quickly, and continued on my way. The highway along the river, there are few cars at night, the road is open, and by half past five in the morning, it has entered the urban area of Jinling.

"Boss, how do you get there? This is my first time in the provincial capital. "The provincial capital of Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the city is too big, so Lin Tao is a little out of his mind.

"It's my first time too. I only know the destination, No. 11 Zhujiang Road, Gulou District. Follow the signs on the road. It's not far from the provincial government, so let's find the provincial government first. ”

Xiao Yuchan spoke by herself, "I have traveled to Jinling, and the provincial government is on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, so it shouldn't be too far from here." ”

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao glanced at each other, and the two ** were happy. This girl has finally found something to say on her own, which is a good sign.

Just then, a night bus stopped at the front stop. Lin Tao drove the car over to ask for directions, and the driver was very enthusiastic, "This road is a big arc, and the provincial government is just across the lake." You walk along Longpan Road, bypass Xuanwu Lake, and arrive at the opposite side. ”

In the provincial capital before the early hours of the morning, the street lights were also drowsy, except for the night buses that drove by from time to time, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was like a lazy beauty, still completely immersed in the sweet sleep. It wasn't until the sky was already bright that they followed the Longpan Road and circled around a large semicircle before they found their destination.

This high-walled community, located on the edge of the Peace Park, is only three or four stops from the provincial government, and has more than a dozen dilapidated buildings hidden in the thick shade of trees. No. 11 is a detached four-storey building with a quaint courtyard in front of it. On both sides of the black iron gate, there are two palace lamps in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the gate is closed.

"Is this it? You can't make a mistake, it's so shabby, this looks like the place where the provincial government leaders live. Moreover, it is clear that it will be demolished soon. Xiao Yuchan said a little uneasily.

Yu Songyuan said, "Don't see through it, this is a symbol of status." My sister-in-law's father-in-law used to be a provincial official and lived here at that time. Later, he was framed to death, and now that the policy has been implemented, it is normal to live here. Besides, my uncle is now the leader of the Provincial Association for Science and Technology and the director of the Provincial Expert Committee, so it's no problem to live here. ”

In front of the compound, the lights were bright, and two army soldiers were standing guard. Yu Songyuan handed over the military ID, and the soldier pulled open the crossbar, entered the courtyard, and found the No. 11 courtyard, where the big black iron gate was closed.

It was still early, and the three of them were lying in the car chatting blindly, but they didn't notice that the big black iron door had quietly opened. A middle-aged man stood in front of the gate, looking at the three people in the car and smiling sweetly.
