“Pfft!”
Jian Dan and Chu Zhiyuan landed in a wooden crate filled with chicken feathers… They were covered in chicken feathers from head to tail.
However, it was all thanks to these chicken feathers that the two of them escaped death.
It was unknown if the expression on Jian Dan’s face was the relief of escaping or the helplessness she had encountered now.
“Little Jian, we won the gamble.”
Jian Dan looked at Grandpa helplessly…
Grandpa had such a positive outlook. That’s right… At least they were still alive!
The truck drove all the way to a factory…
This was a factory that made feather dusters. No wonder there were so many feathers!
The factory manager sympathized with their plight and kindly arranged a car for them…
The two of them looked at the donkey cart in front of them and did not know whether to laugh or cry!
However, they could not turn down the factory manager’s kindness!
“This is as far as 1 can get you. Your destination is beyond this mountain; you just need to get to the other side of it.”
Jian Dan and Chu Zhiyuan stared at the endless flight of stairs before them and their eyeballs almost popped out.
“Thank you! Sorry to trouble you.”
The donkey cart turned around and headed back…
The elevator was definitely the greatest invention of mankind…
Five minutes later…
“Pfft! Hahaha!”
Jian Dan saw that there was only half of Grandpa’s sweater left…
Only then did Chu Zhiyuan realize it. Looking at the unraveling and increasingly short sweater, he swiftly broke the thread.
It was obvious that he had caught his sweater on the donkey cart when he got off it.
“Grandpa, this navel-revealing cropped outfit is quite nice. It might even become this year’s fashion trend! Hahahaha!”
She was already out of breath from climbing the stairs. Now, she was laughing so hard that her stomach hurt.
By the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already getting dark. So they could only descend after dawn.
Fortunately, she still had a bar of Snickers in her bag. Otherwise, she really would not have the stamina to descend the mountain tomorrow.
“Grandpa, have you seen the ‘Lost On Journey’ series?”
Jian Dan sat by the fire and asked.
“Yeah, they’re hilarious!”
“Do you think we look like them now? ‘Lost On Journey—Countryside Trip’!”
Jian Dan mocked.
“Haha! You don’t say, it does seem like it.”
Grandpa could still laugh?
“This is going to be an unforgettable trip.”
Yeah! How could she forget such a “special” trip?
The two of them drifted to sleep amid the chat. They were obviously exhausted.
Dawn finally came…
Looking down the mountain, they saw a small village…
“Grandpa, look. It’s right there!”
It wasn’t easy! It felt like they had finally reached their destination after an adrenaline-fueled odyssey. What an adventure! It was indescribably exhilarating.
When they got to the foot of the mountain, they finally found Granny Xia according to the address Mengjiao had given her.
“Granny Xia, do you still remember me?”
Jian Dan looked at this old lady with a head of silver hair and a face brimming with the signs of age.
“You’re… Jian Dan, right?”
She did not expect Granny Xia to still remember her.
“Yup!”
“Mengjiao asked me to fetch you.”
“This is…”
Granny Xia looked at Chu Zhiyuan and asked.
“This is my Grandpa. He was worried about me coming alone, so he accompanied me here.”
“Oh, the two of you…”
Granny Xia suddenly noticed the sorry state Jian Dan and Grandpa were in.
“Hehe, it’s a long story, we’ll leave it for another time!”
How could she let others know such embarrassing tales?!
“Then go take a shower and change into something else!”
“Okay! Thank you, Granny Xia.”
That was great. She could finally shower and change her clothes. Jian Dan felt like she had just climbed out of the dumpster; she was dirty and smelly.
As both of them had left their luggage on the train, Granny Xia took a set of her late husband’s clothes and gave them to Grandpa.
As for Jian Dan…
“Wow, Granny Xia, this is…??”
Jian Dan looked at the cheongsam Granny Xia handed her…
“My husband had made this for me when we got married back then. I couldn’t bear to wear it after that, so it’s like new.”
Grandpa Xia had it made for Granny?Although the color was very dated, the cheongsam was very beautiful.
“I can’t wear this!”
This had great sentimental value to Granny Xia. How could she wear it?
“It’s been in the chest far too long. It’s time for it to come out and get some fresh air. I think you’ll look very good in it. Put it on.”
“Alright then!”
Seeing that Granny Xia was very insistent, Jian Dan did not reject her anymore…
When Grandpa saw Jian Dan in the cheongsam… “If Liyuan sees you, he definitely won’t be able to take his eyes off you.”
“Really?”
She had not seen him for two days. She really missed him!
“That’s for sure! Alright, pack up and let’s go!”
“Okay!”
The three of them finally embarked on their return journey…
