Please do not read at pirate sites. Read only on https://royaltywrites.com.ng/ Please read this content from the original site.
"You guys haven't crossed the bridge yet, right?"
"No, if I remember correctly, there should still be several kilometers to go."
"Then you have to take a detour! It was really dangerous just now. The assistant director's car collapsed right after crossing the bridge, the water in the river was too strong."
"Okay, I understand."
"Alright, then we won't wait for you. We'll go back to the hotel first."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jinghe told Wen Yan about the need to take a detour.
He immediately recalculated the navigation and chose another route.
However, this route was not easy to traverse, and it was bumpy all the way.
Wen Yan joked that it was like riding a roller coaster.
Shen Jinghe retorted, "Be content, it's already good enough not to get stuck in a mud pit."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the car wheel got stuck in a mud pit and couldn't come out.
Wen Yan glanced at him, "Are you a jinx?"
Shen Jinghe was also annoyed and quickly turned off the engine and got out of the car to find rocks to put under the wheels.
But despite their efforts, the car still couldn't come out.
Shen Jinghe had no choice but to call the director.
Just when trouble comes, there is none to help. There was no signal here!

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and Shen Jinghe was walking further away to find a signal, Wen Yan quickly grabbed an umbrella and followed him.
Although their mobile phone cards did not belong to the same service provider, the mountains treated them all the same.
Neither of their phones could make calls.
Wen Yan sighed, "What should we do now? The pit is too deep, we can't push the car."
Shen Jinghe furrowed his brows. He was at odds with these miserable conditions, "As long as the car isn't buried, I don't believe we can't get out!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud rumbling behind them! A mudslide came crashing down.
Just now, where their car had stalled, the mountains on both sides collapsed.
The car, instantly buried...
Wen Yan looked at Shen Jinghe with a heartbroken expression, "Shen 6, you really are a jinx."

Shen Jinghe also felt helpless, "I just said it casually."
"Enough!" Wen Yan quickly interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, "For the sake of our safety, from now on, don't speak anymore. Follow my arrangements, do you agree?"
Shen Jinghe wanted to speak, but thinking of the buried car, he took a deep breath and nodded.
After looking around, Wen Yan pointed in the direction they came from and said, "There are some houses over there, probably a village. There might be a signal where there is a village. I suggest we go there and try our luck."
Shen Jinghe continued nodding.
They ran towards the nearby village.
With the houses in sight, the two of them walked through the wind and rain for nearly half an hour before arriving.
The good news was that there was a place on the way with a signal. Shen Jinghe dialed the director's phone and learned that the director and the others had successfully returned to the hotel.
At the same time, there was also bad news. The director had received news that there were multiple landslides in the mountainous area, and the roads in and out of the mountain were blocked.
Even if Shen Jinghe's car hadn't been buried, they still couldn't leave. They would have to wait for the government to clear the roads before they could pass.
The director told them not to panic and to find a place to stay in the meantime.
This was currently the only solution.
In this day and age, rural areas in the mountains are mostly populated by empty-nest elderly.
Nowadays, in the mountainous rural areas, there are many empty-nest elderly people.
The house they are staying in is only occupied by a widow.
The widow said that decades ago, the house used to be lively with her husband and children.
But later, after their children got married, they moved to the city to work, leaving her alone to take care of the two-story small buildings belonging to her eldest and youngest sons.

So tonight, Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe don't have to worry about not having a place to stay.
Although the widow lives alone, she keeps the house tidy and clean. The furniture in the unused rooms is covered with plastic sheets, but when lifted, it is still clean and neat.
The widow also took out her son and daughter-in-law's clothes for Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe to change.
After a nice hot bath and ginger soup, Wen Yan suddenly felt comfortable all over her body.
But she couldn't just eat and drink for free at the widow's house, so Wen Yan took the initiative to help with chores.
Sweeping the floor, shelling peanuts, and shelling chestnuts, she was not afraid of tiredness and did all sorts of chores.
Shen Jinghe also felt embarrassed to just stand there and do nothing.
But honestly, he had eaten chestnuts before, but it was the first time he knew that they grew inside a prickly shell. It was truly strange.
However, he was curious about how Wen Yan became so skilled at doing all these things.
Stepping on a bag of thorns on the ground and quickly using scissors to extract the fruit from it.
But when he thought about it, Wen Yan had a difficult life before she was adopted at the age of ten, so maybe she learned these skills back then.
He didn't know what kind of life she had when she was a child.
It must have been very poor and tough, and then she ended up in an orphanage.

Hmm, it's good that she didn't end up going astray.
Arguing with Shen Zhirou is not a big deal either.
Don't mention her and Shen Zhirou, even between him and his eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother, who has a better relationship?
In this way, the two of them stayed at the widow's house for three days and two nights.
During these three days and two nights, Shen Jinghe gained a lot.
Not only did he learn how to make a fire and cook firewood rice, but he also received lots of bites from mosquitoes.
Because of his presence, Wen Yan felt that the mosquitoes didn't bite her.
On the afternoon of the third day, the director personally came to pick them up in the car.
As for the car buried under the rocks, it was a pity, it was already scrapped.
On the way back to the city, Shen Jinghe specifically went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine.
Actually, he quite liked this small place. He didn't have to worry about being recognized even without wearing a mask.
When the car arrived back, it was dinner time, and many people from the crew had gathered in the restaurant on the first floor to eat.
Many pairs of eyes were staring at them, so to avoid suspicion, Wen Yan didn't take the same elevator as Shen Jinghe.
Shen Jinghe, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to it. He took out a box of medicine from the plastic bag he was carrying and threw it to Wen Yan.

"Eat it, don't pass your cold to others."
Wen Yan almost didn't catch it. When she finally caught it, she wanted to say thank you, but Shen Jinghe had already closed the elevator door.
[No, can't this person speak properly? What does he mean by not passing the cold to others?]
After the meal was delivered to their room, Wen Yan finally changed into clean clothes from head to toe.
Just as she was about to eat, her phone kept buzzing.
It was a message from Wang Che.
"Hey, are you there? Quickly tell me what happened in the mountains these past few days?"
"Some people saw Shen Jinghe caring about you. Are you two together? They said things between you two seem very ambiguous. Is it true or not?"
Wen Yan was speechless.
She sent a string of ellipsis as a response.
"What nonsense, it's all made up. It's too exaggerated!!!"
Wang Che: "You really have no persuasive power at all! Quickly confess. What did he give you at the elevator?"
Wen Yan directly sent a photo of the cold medicine.
"Colds are not a good thing. Do you want this good thing?"
