Chapter 110： "Hitchhiking"

Chapter 110 “Hitchhiking”

A smooth and strong arm with muscular lines was held up by the passenger window, and then, a head tilted over.

 Huo Lang glanced at the bamboo basket hanging behind Si Ningning's shoulders, then turned his head to look at the scattered educated youths, and asked in a low and hoarse voice: "Go back to the team?"

“Yes.” Si Ningning stood there and nodded seriously.

The little girl's forehead was covered with fine sweat. She had obviously done nothing and was just standing there. However, she was so delicate and pretty that Huo Lang had an inexplicable feeling that she was too well-behaved and could be bullied.

Holang was silent and then asked: "Can you open the door?"

Um?

Si Ningning was stunned.

What's the meaning?

Do you mean to send them back?

There is only a small section of the road that can be driven by traffic, and there are mountain roads behind it. Let alone a pickup truck, even a bicycle can barely...

“Are you going back to the team too?” Si Ningning asked the question without answering.

During this short gap, Holang got out of the passenger seat and opened the door of the passenger seat. "It's time to go back to the team. Get in the car and take you for a ride."

After speaking, he looked at the others and said, "The back seat can accommodate two people, and the others can just sit in the back seat."

A few pairs of eyes glanced back and forth between the two of them, and someone said dryly: "Then, thank you!"

The educated youths recognized Huo Lang in front of them as the security captain of the team, but they all had different ideas about whether Si Ningning could talk to the security captain.

After Si Ningning and Xu Shuhua got into the car, others climbed into the back of the pickup truck.

There are no concrete roads in the countryside, they are all dirt roads. It has not rained recently and the roads are relatively smooth. Therefore, the pickup truck moved forward slowly and the group did not feel any bumps.

The driver glanced at Si Ningning from the rearview mirror from time to time, while Xu Shuhua was very nervous. She turned her head to one side and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but in fact she held her trouser legs tightly with both hands.

All in all, the atmosphere in the car was extremely awkward.

Si Ningning coughed dryly and broke the silence, "Comrade Huo Lang, why are you here, still..." Still sitting in the car.

And it seemed that this car was specially sent to him.

“It’s nothing, I’m on a mission.”

“…Oh.” Si Ningning said “Oh” and said nothing more.

She and Huo Lang only met a few times, so they could just chat to ease the embarrassment. There was really nothing to talk about.

After answering this question, Si Ningning found sadly that the atmosphere seemed to be even more awkward.

The car fell into silence again. It was not until the pickup truck passed the fork in the road where they came that Si Ningning spoke again, "Have we passed by?"

"No." Huo Lang's unique low and hoarse voice came from the front, "Go along the road, and the car can drive all the way to the rope bridge. We will get off there and return to the team."

Rope bridge…

Si Ningning Moyo guessed something.

When they first came here, the captain took them to the third team and crossed a small river. At that time, the captain once said that the river swells and the current is very fast during the rainy season. He asked them to walk upstream, where there is a bridge.

That bridge is probably the rope bridge that Huo Lang mentioned?

I have to say that Si Ningning guessed it right.

After driving for a while, the car turned from the main road into the mountain forest boundary. The narrow mountain road was barely passable. Si Ningning looked around and thought to himself: Fortunately, there are few cars in this era, otherwise the two cars would have met face to face. Then I really don’t know what to do.

The scorching sun at noon was blocked by the treetops. Among the birds, the pickup truck stopped in front of an iron chain suspension bridge. Si Ningning knew the location and took the lead to open the door and put the basket down.
