12. Flee the county

Zhang Nanyan ran out along the path, and not long after running, she saw a village.

It was the middle of the night and there were no lights in the village.

Before Zhang Nanyan could get closer, she heard the dogs in the village barking.

Zhang Nanyan ignored it and rushed over in one breath.

Running all the way out of the village, I soon saw the road. She ran out of breath, only to realize that the rag she had stuffed in her mouth had not even remembered to take it out.

Zhang Nanyan stopped, took out the cloth stuffed in her mouth, and gasped for breath. Her tears flowed, but she didn't dare to cry.

"Hold back! Endure! Not yet safe! And persevere! Zhang Nanyan said to herself.

After only a few minutes of rest, she resumed her run.

It's the middle of the night, and it's hard to stop cars on the road, and it's dangerous. But she didn't dare wait until dawn.

Only run on two legs!

Zhang Nanyan didn't dare to run along the road, for fear of being overtaken, so she ran in the field.

The ditches and ditches in the field were very deep, and the weeds were very deep, and it hurt very much to cut Zhang Nanyan's arms and legs. There were also a lot of insects that hit her face on her head, and some animals jumped and crawled under her feet from time to time, scaring Zhang Nanyan out of goosebumps.

ran until dawn, and she finally ran to the county seat.

At this time, Zhang Nanyan was extremely embarrassed.

She was wearing a skirt and high heels, the high heels had worn her feet out of blood, the skirt was covered with mud, and the beautiful ribbon around her waist had long been hung up by the bush branches.

She went to the station ticket office, waited for the staff to go to work, and bought a ticket home.

Tightening on the ticket, she felt a little safe.

With her hard-earned money in her underwear, she wrapped her arms around her chest and went to find the bus.

The car was found, the doors were closed, and the driver was still napping.

Zhang Nanyan stood by the car door and waited.

Ten minutes later, the conductor came over with a plastic bag in his hand and yawning.

"Yo, there's still half an hour, it's so early." The conductor glanced at Zhang Nanyan: "Why don't you open the door?" ”

Zhang Nanyan cautiously gave way to the side and did not answer.

"Open the door, open the door, the passengers are coming."

The conductor banged on the door and shouted, and the driver stretched to his feet.

Bang Dang!

The door opened.

"Girl, get in the car and sit."

Zhang Nanyan got on the minibus and sat in the back seat.

"Girl, sit comfortably in the front, and bump in the back."

"Nope." Zhang Nanyan replied in a low voice.

"It's all mountain roads, it's easy to get motion sickness, you can sit by the window."

Zhang Nanyan shook her head.

"There's no one here, what are you afraid of?" The conductor's eldest sister said heartily.

"Girl, you're a student, right, go to school in the county?"

"No, I'm a part-time worker."

"Tsk, it's not easy. I still have to go to school at a young age, and there is no way out for a part-time job. The eldest sister said regretfully, "Girl, have you eaten?" Come on, eat a bun! ”

"No, I'm not hungry."

"It's not okay not to eat something, this trip has to drive for more than an hour, and if you don't eat, you should get motion sickness. Come, eat one! ”

The eldest sister grabbed a steaming bun and stuffed it into Zhang Nanyan's hand.

At this time, the passengers got on the train one after another, and the carriage was lively.

Zhang Nanyan clenched the bun, it was hot, and when she took a bite, it was a big meat filling, so fragrant!

The driver started the car, and the minibus shook, started moving, and drove out of the station.

Minibuses run on the main streets of the county.

Zhang Nanyan turned her face sideways and looked out of the car window.

It was the first bus, and it was just six o'clock, and the streets were still very deserted.

The breakfast stalls on the street have already been released, and the fragrance of steamed buns and fried dough sticks wafts out.

Sanitation workers are sweeping the streets with big brooms.

Tall plane trees grow on both sides of the street, sprinkling shade. Zhang Nanyan remembered the saplings she had planted on both sides of the highway being built, and she didn't know how long it would take to grow into a big tree.

The shops on both sides of the street have not yet opened, some with iron gates, and some clothing stores have glass windows behind plastic mannequins in elaborate costumes.

In the county seat for two months, Zhang Nanyan has not gone shopping once, and she has not entered these stores once.

The minibus drove slowly past, and the street scenes of the county town retreated one by one in Zhang Nanyan's gaze.

For the first time, she carefully looked at the streets and shops in the county, and she felt that she was about to leave the bustling county town and return to her poor home again, how could she not be nostalgic and sad?

The minibus stopped a few times, and a few more people came up, and the seats were almost full.

The minibus slowly turned a corner and drove to Anqing Road.

Zhang Nanyan saw the only towering building, and that was the most luxurious hotel in the county--- Baoyuan Hotel.

Zhang Nanyan was shocked, and the news of being forced and kidnapped came to her heart, and she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

However, when the minibus drove to the entrance of Baoyuan Hotel, it slowed down and stopped.

Zhang Nanyan shouted in fear: "Don't stop! ”

The driver was so frightened that he stepped on the brakes, and the minibus came to a stop.

A carload of people were awakened and looked back at Zhang Nanyan.

The conductor's eldest sister, who had already stood up to pull the door, stumbled and almost didn't fall.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

The eldest sister of the conductor looked at Zhang Nanyan and asked suspiciously.

Zhang Nanyan's face turned white, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak.

"Open the door!" Someone was banging on the door under the car.

The conductor came to his senses and opened the car door first.

"What's going on!" A passenger got on the bus and complained.

"Here, buy a ticket, ten dollars." The conductor came to the passenger's seat.

"Buy ten yuan from the station, and I'll be out of the city right away, eight yuan!" The passenger took out the money and stuffed it into the conductor's hand.

"This can't work, I've never seen a ticket and a bargain."

"Okay, okay, I often take this bus, it's all at this price."

The conductor put away the money and muttered, "You're shrewd." ”

As she spoke, the eldest sister of the conductor walked up to Zhang Nanyan: "Girl, are you okay?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Zhang Nanyan hurriedly shook her head: "I...... I'm fine. ”

"This little girl, what's so nervous about taking a car, it's okay."

The minibus restarted, and this time it finally stopped waiting for passengers slowly, and finally started driving at full speed.

Out of the county seat, open the provincial road, and after a while, you will go on the rural road.

The road was getting bumpy, and after two hours, the minibus was up on a winding and rugged mountain road.

The road in the mountains took another hour and a half to finally arrive at Nanguan Town.

The minibus stops at the bus station in town.

The passengers got up, stretched their stiff arms and legs, carried their luggage, and got off the bus.

The driver locks the car and finds a place to rest.

The conductor's eldest sister got off the train and greeted the staff at the station: "Oops, I'm tired, this line really can't be opened, and my body is falling apart." ”

"Hey, girl, are you all right?"

Zhang Nanyan stopped, smiled embarrassedly, and said to the conductor's eldest sister, "It's okay." ”

"That's good, look at your white face, go get some food."

Zhang Nanyan was tired and tired physically, and her chest was nauseous for a while because of motion sickness, but her heart finally relaxed.

Beneath your feet is potholes, and dilapidated buses come and go in and out of the station, kicking up dust and the choking smell of gasoline.

Rude dialects came from the ears. The peasants all spoke so thickly and loudly, and they did not pay attention to civility and politeness, and their speech was like quarreling.

But now, Zhang Nanyan listens to the rude and barbaric vernacular, but she is most relieved. She finally escaped from the county seat.

However, she returned to the poor and ignorant countryside. All the while, she desperately wanted to get out, but had to flee back here.

In addition to the rest of her life after the catastrophe, Zhang Nanyan felt deeply confused and sad.

"Girl? Girl? Let's go grab a bite to eat...... Look at this body is mud and dirt, pitiful, it's still a child, why are the adults in the family willing to give it......"

The conductor's eldest sister shook her head and walked away.

Zhang Nanyan looked at the dilapidated station in front of her, listened to the familiar rude dialect, suppressed the confusion in her heart, and said to herself: "Go to repeat, be admitted to university, go out of the village, out of the county, you must go to the outside world!" That's the real escape! ”
