Chapter 470: The Car Has Run Aground

The road was rough, and the car crawled along almost as slowly as walking.

Lin Feng glanced from time to time, and a ▼ mark was printed on the window.

After more than two hours, Lin Feng let out a breath.

The sedan performed well, finally making it through the difficult stretch..

By then it was already past four in the afternoon.

The road ahead remained tough, winding and twisting.

It was obvious no vehicle had passed for a long time; branches from the trees on either side stuck out into the middle of the road.

Worst of all, a dead tree had fallen across the road.

Lin Feng had to get out of the car and move the tree aside.

It was clear that the sky would soon turn dark.

Lin Feng swore that if he ever listened to Guo Yanqiu's directions again, he would recite his name backwards.

Suddenly, the car stalled.

Huh~

Lin Feng was surprised.

A perfectly fine car, and yet it stalled.

It stalled right here, in the middle of nowhere—no shop ahead, no village behind.

He immediately turned the car key.

"Cog-cog squeak…"

After several tries, the car still wouldn't start.

"We're done for!"

Lin Feng spread his hands.

Guo Yanqiu glanced at the pitch-black sky outside and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I'm afraid of the dark!"

To save electricity, Lin Feng turned off the car's lights and switched on the interior cabin light.

"Why don't we walk back? I'll carry you."

Lin Feng suggested.

"But we can't see anything!" Guo Yanqiu said, frowning.

How are we supposed to walk this pitch-black road?

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I can see the road; I'll carry you back. Walking back now would take only three or four hours, and by then everyone will be asleep, so no one will see you."

Guo Yanqiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

As soon as the car door opened, Guo Yanqiu shivered from the cold.

April nights are quite cold.

Besides, her clothes weren't dry; if she stayed outside for three or four hours, she'd surely catch a cold.

Most importantly, Guo Yanqiu's foot was injured, so she couldn't walk.

Lin Feng suddenly realized this problem.

"Why don't you stay in the car while I go back to get help?"

Lin Feng suggested.

Guo Yanqiu shook her head repeatedly, "I'm scared!"

"Whoosh~"

Lin Feng let out a breath.

There was nothing else to do; they had to stay.

Now it's really a dilemma.

Both were soaked in wet clothes, and their phones had no power.

The car had also run aground.

It seems they can only wait until morning to figure something out.

Lin Feng looked at the car and opened the trunk.

The trunk actually contained some items.

There was a car repair toolkit.

Lin Feng certainly knew how to fix a car, but… this wasn't the right time to do it!

Seeing the toolkit, it felt as if two horns had sprouted on his head.

Then there was a red bag containing two bottles of fine liquor.

Lin Feng picked up the bag and returned to the car.

Opening the liquor box's packaging, he finally had a bit of luck.

Because the box contained a towel.

This must be a complimentary gift from the gift box.

"Take the towel and dry yourself off!"

Lin Feng handed the towel to Guo Yanqiu.

After receiving it, Guo Yanqiu stared blankly at Lin Feng.

After realizing this, Lin Feng picked up a bottle of liquor, went outside the car, leaned against it, and began drinking.

Drinking alcohol can ward off the cold.

Moments later, the car door opened, and Guo Yanqiu handed her clothes to Lin Feng, saying, "I've thought of a way: we can hang them on the hood to dry."

Lin Feng placed the alcohol bottle on the car roof, took her clothes, and spread them on the sedan's hood.

"Brother-in-law, you, you come up in the car! It's cold outside."

Guo Yanqiu lowered the car window and said to Lin Feng.

"It's not convenient, is it!"

Lin Feng shook his head.

Guo Yanqiu said: "In urgent circumstances, one must adapt; there's nothing inconvenient."

Outside it's indeed quite cold.

Lin Feng returned to the car and sat in the driver's seat.

At that moment, he saw Guo Yanqiu sitting cross-legged in the rear seat, also holding a bottle of white alcohol.

She let her hair down, draped it in front, just covering her chest.

Quite clever!

After Guo Yanqiu drank alcohol, she quickly felt less cold.

But she became a bit drunk, so she quickly put the bottle down.

Drink more and she'd get drunk.

"Brother-in-law, your clothes are wet, uncomfortable, right? Here's a towel for you."

After putting down the alcohol bottle, Guo Yanqiu handed the towel to Lin Feng.

After receiving it, Lin Feng turned off the light inside the car.

After a moment, he got out of the car and hung the clothes on the hood to dry.

After returning to the car, Lin Feng reclined the seat, closed his eyes, and said: "Let's sleep for a while!"

"I'm afraid..."

Guo Yanqiu suddenly said.

At this moment, both inside and outside the car were dark; after turning off the interior light, looking out, the outlines of the surrounding trees looked extremely terrifying.

Some looked like monsters, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

Some looked like disheveled ghosts...

Lin Feng had no choice but to turn the light on again.

However, the light dimmed at an extremely rapid speed.

This damned car, the battery's charge is actually insufficient.

If the electricity is used up, the car truly won't start.

"The electricity is almost gone..."

Lin Feng said that and turned off the light.

"I'm afraid..."

Guo Yanqiu said again.

"Close your eyes and don't look outside." Lin Feng said lightly.

In the darkness, Guo Yanqiu's eyes rolled, "But with the light off, I can't help thinking..."

"What should we do then?"

Lin Feng asked.

"Come to the back seat." Guo Yanqiu whispered.

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

"I'm afraid..."

Lin Feng's mouth corner twitched up.

He opened the car door, got out, then felt for the rear seat door handle, opened the door and got in.

Just as he sat down, Guo Yanqiu leaned over.
