Chapter 405 Um, comrade, men and women can't live together!
"You know about the fire at the farm a while back? It almost burned the whole mountain down!"
"We know, we know, we will definitely learn from this experience!"
"Alright, let's go check out the next place. If you encounter any suspicious individuals, be sure to report it to us in the county..."
The police officers, along with the brigade leader and commune members, left in a flurry. Meng Peiyu breathed a sigh of relief but did not make any rash moves.
Half an hour later, when the group was certain that the others would not be returning, they collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"My God, it's just a fire, there's no need to keep chasing us like this!"
Meng Hongsheng grumbled, "With this delay, who knows when we'll get to Japan!"
The others remained silent, thinking that they were lucky not to have been arrested, and what was the point of thinking about going abroad? They just wanted to survive!
Time passed slowly, and finally it was midnight.
A group of people crawled out of the cellar, feeling both relieved and terrified.
Not daring to delay, I packed my things and prepared to leave.
Meng Hongsheng glanced outside and asked, "Where's the cow? Without the cow, how are we going to leave?"
ox......
It's in Meng Peiyu's space, but she can't say it.
He gave a wink to the side, and Sang Sheng had no choice but to dutifully go out to steal the cow.
Unfortunately, the brigade leader, who had received safety training during the day, feared property damage and drove the cattle, pigs, and sheep to the brigade headquarters.
All the militiamen are on high alert here.
The torches illuminated their caution, and Sang Sheng hesitated.
He went back and reported the situation to Meng Peiyu, who remained silent for a moment before saying, "Leave first, and we'll figure something out when we get to the next production team!"
The others nodded and left along the foot of the mountain.
The road was difficult to walk on. He wanted to complain, but he was afraid of disturbing the people chasing them, so he was filled with resentment.
By the time we finally arrived at the next production team, it was almost dawn.
They wanted to steal the cow, but found that this place was just as heavily guarded as the previous production team.
There was no other way but to keep going.
Meng Peiyu frantically called out to the system in her mind: "I want an ox, I want an oxcart!"
"Host, the space does not support the storage of living objects."
Want a cow? Dream on! You might have a cart, but could you even pull it?
He cleared his throat and adjusted his tone: "Host, you can try signing in. Maybe you can sign in and get a cart!"
Sure enough, Meng Peiyu retorted angrily, "How can we, a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people, push it? Enough nonsense, I want a bicycle!"
The system rolled its eyes: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained one hundred scooters!"
Scooters...
"Are you kidding me? You can ride a scooter these days?"
"Great idea, host! I heard that a certain machinery factory's scooters are selling like hotcakes and are even being exported overseas!"
Meng Peiyu was too lazy to argue with it and continued to sign in.
"Congratulations, host! You have obtained one hundred toy sets. All sign-in opportunities have been used up. Please continue tomorrow!"
Looking at the toy cars of all sizes in the space, Meng Peiyu felt like crying.
I thought to myself, at least give me a remote-controlled car, so I can run errands and deliver messages.
What the heck are these toy police cars, toy bulldozers, and toy ambulances with only four simple wheels?
In the end, Meng Peiyu made up her mind to turn around and head to the next county town to steal a few bicycles from the family compound.
Meng Hongsheng and Sang Sheng had no objections; on the contrary, they were relieved by this decision.
The group kept running into obstacles, to the point that even after Qiao Manman returned to Northeast China, they hadn't left the city where the farm was located.
They were like rats, constantly digging holes, and every time the police chased after them, they were always a step too late.
I feel completely exhausted.
***
Qiao Manman got out of the car, stretched her arms and legs, and only then did she feel fully alive again.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I exited the station. Looking at the large trucks parked at the entrance, I refused to get on.
"No need, no need, you guys go ahead, I'll jog back!"
"No, sister-in-law, it's far away. You won't get to the family compound until it's completely dark!"
"If I can't make it, I won't. I'll stay at a relative's house for the night. Oh my god, please don't make me take a car ride, my butt can't take it!"
He pushed Lu Yuan aside and said, "You go back with them, I'll walk slowly!"
Lu Yuan refused, fearing something might happen. But he also needed to go back and report the situation immediately.
So they compromised: "Okay, I'll get you a room at the guesthouse, you can rest for the night. I'll come pick you up tomorrow!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and told the driver to take the people to the outskirts of the city to wait.
He took Qiao Manman to the guesthouse and used his work ID to upgrade her from a dormitory-style room to a small private room.
The waiter looked at the two of them in horror: "Um, comrade, men and women can't stay together!"
Qiao Manman took out her marriage certificate from her canvas bag: "We are husband and wife, legally married!"
"Even if it's legal, it won't work. The police checkpoints here from time to time, which will affect the living experience."
Besides, you two are both married, why don't you live at home? I see the man's workplace isn't far from here..."
Qiao Manman explained, "We just came back from the south. We took a train all the way, and it was quite uncomfortable. We wanted to find a place to rest."
Don't worry, he'll be gone in a bit.
Showing you our marriage certificate means you shouldn't overthink it; we can say goodbye in the same space.
"Oh, oh, I see. Well, it's alright then, I'll go outside first, you two talk, you two talk!"
They fled as if being chased by wolves.
Qiao Manman, with an innocent expression, carefully put away the marriage certificate, locked the door, drew the curtains, and led Lu Yuan into the space.
I don't have much time, but ten minutes or so is fine.
The space is tripled, which means more than half an hour.
He told Lu Yuan to go to the bathroom to take a shower and quickly prepared a meal for the two of them.
Vegetable and fruit salad, fried chicken, beer, cola, and toast.
Lu Yuan came out of the bathroom and sat down at the dining table with his hair still wet.
He told Qiao Manman to be careful while sleeping at night and not to leave the space if possible.
"Okay, okay, I got it, eat up!" Qiao Manman reached out and stuffed a cherry tomato into his mouth.
Lu Yuan raised his hand and ruffled her hair: "You really have the heart to let me go home alone!"
Qiao Manman said in a coquettish tone, "I feel so uncomfortable. I've been on the train for so long, and my butt is covered in sores."
Oh dear, I can't help but think about it, my period has started!
She rushed into the bathroom, fiddled around for a while, and came out saying, "So, whether I go back or not, it doesn't matter. Could you please help me clean up?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll pick you up first thing tomorrow morning!"
Qiao Manman ate with a smile, and when she finished, she kissed him on the lips and saw him out.
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two men emerge unharmed: "Comrade Lu, Comrade Qiao, I just filled a kettle with hot water. Please take it back and use it!"
"Thank you, comrade!" Qiao Manman took the pot and looked at Lu Yuan: "Then I won't see you off. Go back and rest well, then come pick me up!"
"Okay, be careful tonight!" he said, and strode away.
Qiao Manman watched him walk away before jogging back to her room.
I locked the door, went inside, took a shower in the bathroom, dried my hair, lay down on the bed, and slept like a log.
