Two drones flew slowly towards Wang Ningyu and me in carpet search mode.

The light swept back and forth across the grass like a radar.

Seeing that the drone where Wang Ningyu and I were hiding was about to be discovered by the drone, I thought I could not sit and wait for death, so I grabbed a stone from the ground and was about to get up and smash it towards the drone flying in, but behind us, a few owl laughter came from behind.

The owl's harsh and weird laughter suddenly attracted the drone. They immediately turned around and flew quickly towards the owl's laughter.

After seeing the drone leave, I breathed a sigh of relief. What happened just now made me sweat in a cold sweat. Wang Ningyu, who was standing beside me, also looked at me with lingering fear and said:

"I was really scared just now. I thought we were about to be discovered."

"Let's go first, it's not safe here." I was worried that the two drones would not be discovered before coming back, so I immediately took Wang Ningyu and walked quickly towards the direction where Gugu County was.

The night was getting dark, and Wang Ningyu and I walked quickly through a weed field.

Soon a country dirt road appeared in front of Wang Ningyu and me.

After walking on the dirt road, Wang Ningyu almost overdrawed all his physical strength and walked slowly and slowly.

After seeing Wang Ningyu's situation, I was worried that the longer the time would delay, the more unsafe it would be for us, so I walked over and looked at her and said:

"Mrs. Wang, I will carry you on my back."

When Wang Ningyu heard my words, he looked up at my fair face with an incredible look on his face:

"You...you want to carry me on your back?!"

I nodded, patted my shoulder with my hand and said:

"That's right, Mrs. Wang, come up quickly. If it's too late, we won't have time to run away if we are caught up by those drones."

Wang Ningyu nodded and lay on my back.

Although her soft and slim body looks not tall, she still has a certain amount of weight when she presses on my back.

I held Wang Ningyu upwards, asked her to hug my neck, and carried her along the path toward Gugu County.

The fragrance of Wang Ningyu kept drilling into my nose, and she leaned against me and said:

"Mr. Zhang, I was actually worried just now. I was worried that you would abandon me just because I was a burden and go to Gugu County alone..."

I shook my head after hearing this:

"Impossible. No matter what, you rescued me. Unless I am Zhang Chujiu dies, I will never leave you."

After I said this, I felt a chill on my neck:

"Mrs. Wang, is it raining?"

After hearing this, Wang Ningyu hurriedly said:

"No...no, there was sand in my eyes just now."

I trotted all the way with Wang Ningyu on my back, but I still overestimated my endurance and physical strength. After running on her back for more than 20 minutes, I could clearly feel that my legs were starting to struggle and my physical strength was almost exhausted.

After Wang Ningyu noticed my increasingly obvious breathing sound, he opened his mouth to remind him:

"Mr. Zhang, please put me down now. I've got some rest."

When I heard Wang Ningyu say this, I stopped and slowly put Wang Ningyu on my back on the ground.

"Do you want to take a rest? I see that your face is covered with sweat." Wang Ningyu said as he reached out to help me wipe my sweat.

I subconsciously retreated and avoided it, and then said:

"No need to rest, let's go on. If you are tired later, tell me."

"Okay." Wang Ningyu agreed and followed me silently. Perhaps because of the embarrassing moment just now, she didn't speak any further along the way...

She and I walked along this country road for more than half an hour. At the end of the road was an intersection, and the other road at the intersection was a sandy road. The road was very wide, enough for two cars to pass at the same time.

After seeing this road, Wang Ningyu immediately pointed at it and said to me:

"Mr. Zhang, we can follow this sandy road. If we are lucky, we will arrive smoothly in advance if we meet a ride-sharing to Gugu County."

"Let's continue walking the path." But I knew very well in my heart that there could be no such coincidence.

Moreover, when walking on the road, it is very easy to be discovered by people or drones sent by the Shangguan family, which is not worth the cost.

Just as Wang Ningyu and I were about to leave, the sound of the car suddenly sounded in the distance.

I stopped and saw a truck driving towards this side in the distance.

Seeing this, Wang Ningyu hurriedly said to me:

"Mr. Zhang, let's stop the car and ask, what if the car happens to go to Gugu County?"

After hearing this, I tried it and reached out to stop the car. Unexpectedly, the driver in the wilderness ridge stopped the car slowly in the middle of the night.

After the truck stopped completely, the driver sitting inside put down the window glass and looked at Wang Ningyu and asked:

"Are you two young men lost here?"

The driver was about 50 years old and was bald, but his face looked kind.

I nodded:

"Yes, Master Driver, where are you going? Can you take us for a while?"

The driver said:

"I'm going to deliver goods to Gugu County. Where are you going to?"

I was shocked after hearing this, and Wang Ningyu really hit it!

When Wang Ningyu heard the driver's words, he quickly smiled and said:

"Master Driver, this is such a coincidence. We are also going back to Gugu County, just by the way with you!"

When the truck driver heard Wang Ningyu's words, his face suddenly solidified, and he became alert in an instant.

No wonder the driver was alert. He met two young people in the middle of the night, and they happened to go to the same place as them. This coincidence made people have to doubt it.

After seeing the driver's appearance, I quickly spoke:

"Master driver, we didn't lie to you. We lived in Gugu County. There is a Qin family coffin shop in the county town. Mr. Qin is my master."

When the truck driver heard what I said, his expression on his face suddenly calmed down. He turned his head and looked at me and asked:

"Old Qin's apprentice? Your name is Zhang Chujiu?"

I nodded:

"Yes, it's me."

The truck driver smiled at me after hearing this:

"So it's your boy! Don't stand down below, get in the car!"

After Wang Ningyu and I got on the bus, the truck driver then said to me:

"Chunjiu, you probably haven't seen me, but I am familiar with your master. I used to sit together and chat and drink, but now they are busy and have less contact. I have always heard that he has accepted a new apprentice called Chujiu, and he hasn't had time to see you. By the way, your master is still in good health recently, right?"

I nodded and said:
Chapter completed!
