Chapter 666: On the Way Home

July 21st, early morning.

Stop the car! I want to get on……

Lin Chang'e stood by the roadside, waving at passing vehicles.

After a long while, not a single vehicle stopped.

Hmph!

Lin Chang'e let out a cold snort.

It's all your fault, falling for me so easily, letting me unknowingly indulge in the vanity of being loved……

He Dazhuang drove a panel van, humming a song.

Seeing a little child waving by the roadside, he slammed on the brakes.

But he quickly reacted.

This is a desolate wilderness; a little girl standing by the roadside is definitely abnormal!

Thinking it's better to do less than more, He Dazhuang didn't stop, driving past Lin Chang'e.

But not long after driving, he suddenly felt the vehicle slow down.

Immediately after came a 'hiss-hiss-hiss' sound.

He Dazhuang instinctively stepped on the accelerator, but the vehicle still didn't move.

She stuck her head out the window and saw the van's two rear wheels smoking.

What's going on?

He Dazhuang, puzzled, shifted into neutral and turned off the engine.

Then he got out and walked to the rear of the vehicle.

Just a glance, and He Dazhuang froze.

It turned out to be a little girl, using both hands to hug the trailer hook at the back of the van.

Seeing the driver get out, Lin Chang'e furrowed her brow and released her grip.

You…… what are you doing!?

He Dazhuang looked shocked, unable to speak coherently.

Lin Chang'e crossed her arms and said, 'If you won't let me ride, I won't let you go!'

A monster, a monster!

He Dazhuang let out a startled cry and turned to run.

He knew that in this desolate wilderness, encountering an abnormal person meant no good.

After running just a few dozen meters, he was tripped and fell to the ground.

Before he could get up, someone grabbed one of his feet and dragged him along.

Looking back, he saw the little girl pinching his ankle with her tiny hand.

You need to drive! My legs aren't long enough……

Lin Chang'e, while dragging He Dazhuang along, furrowed her brow and said.

He Dazhuang quickly said, 'I promise you! Don't drag me any further, or you'll wear my skin raw!'

Lin Chang'e released He Dazhuang.

He Dazhuang immediately got up.

Just then, a sedan drove by.

He Dazhuang quickly waved and shouted, 'Brother, stop the car! There's a monster, stop!'

The sedan's driver ignored him and drove straight on.

Sigh~

Lin Chang'e sighed and said, 'They won't stop; now you know my suffering, right?'

Waa~

He Dazhuang cried.

Don't eat me, please, I didn't wipe after defecating, really, I reek……

Lin Chang'e ignored He Dazhuang, ran to the roadside bushes,

and pulled out a large bundle wrapped in a bedsheet, saying to He Dazhuang, 'I still have things to bring.'

Half an hour later.

He Dazhuang drove his own van onto the expressway.

From Yunsheng to Yanjing, that's thousands of miles!

He wanted to call the police, but Lin Chang'e took his phone.

With a 'pop,' Lin Chang'e crushed it to pieces.

So, the only chance was when refueling on the road.

After more than an hour, when passing a rest area, He Dazhuang turned into the rest area.

Lin Chang'e, wearing a princess dress, hopped along behind He Dazhuang.

He Dazhuang had no chance to call the police; after paying for the fuel, he was about to leave,

when he saw Lin Chang'e run into the convenience store.

He quickly opened the car door and climbed in.

Where are the car keys?

It turned out that when Lin Chang'e ran into the convenience store, she took He Dazhuang's car keys.

He Dazhuang frantically searched for a few minutes, then saw Lin Chang'e come out of the convenience store, holding a large bag of snacks in her little hand.

A huge plastic bag, almost as big as Lin Chang'e's head.

A twenty-something shop clerk came out, Lin Chang'e pointed at He Dazhuang and said: "He's my uncle, he'll pay."

He Dazhuang helplessly pulled out his wallet from his pocket.

"Brother, can you use your phone?"

After He Dazhuang paid, he asked the clerk.

"What for?"

The young clerk asked.

He Dazhuang whispered: "I'll call the police on my phone! You can help me dial."

The clerk asked, "What should I say once it's connected?"

"Just say I was kidnapped, a little monster kidnapped me, that little girl just now is actually a monster..."

Before He Dazhuang finished speaking, the clerk looked at him as if he were crazy and said, "Brother, you're joking!"

At that moment, He Dazhuang sensed Lin Chang'e's aura.

He turned his head and saw Lin Chang'e standing outside the glass door with her hands on her hips.

"Er~"

He Dazhuang blinked, then gave an embarrassed smile and said: "I like to joke; nowadays kids are called divine beasts by their parents, right? That one is my family's little divine beast!"

The clerk laughed and said: "Brother, you really like to joke! Your niece is adorable; drive slowly on the road and stay safe!"

"Thanks!"

He Dazhuang walked out of the convenience store with a wry smile.

The vehicle continued driving on the expressway.

After a while, He Dazhuang gradually stopped being afraid.

Lin Chang'e, sitting in the passenger seat, looked about two or three years old, with a round face and big eyes,

her long eyelashes fluttered, making her look very cute.

Even a man-eating monster that doesn't spit out bones could gradually lower its guard at such an appearance.

Soon it was noon on July 24.

He Dazhuang's small truck was already very close to Yanjing.

If it weren't for the slow speed on the road, he would have already arrived.

"Let me ask! What's in that bag? My vehicle is a refrigerator; don't let it freeze and break."

He Dazhuang asked curiously.

Lin Chang'e shoved a piece of chocolate into He Dazhuang's mouth and said: "I won't tell you!"

"Why?"

He Dazhuang asked again.

Lin Chang'e laughed, showing her two little tiger teeth, and said: "I'm afraid if I told you, you'd be scared to death!"

He Dazhuang said: "Give me another piece!"

Lin Chang'e fed him another piece of chocolate.

He Dazhuang, chewing chocolate, laughed and said: "I'm very bold; you happened to meet me—if you'd met anyone else, you'd surely have run off at a roadside rest stop, right?"

Lin Chang'e said: "You're not bold; you're just reluctant to give up this vehicle."

"Er~"

He Dazhuang was at a loss for words.

Up ahead was the inspection station for entering the capital; He Dazhuang reduced his speed.

Lin Chang'e, giggling while eating chips, said: "Just wait a moment—if you drive straight through, otherwise you'll get caught."

"What exactly did you put in my vehicle?"

He Dazhuang asked again.

Lin Chang'e remained silent.

He Dazhuang chuckled and said: "It couldn't be wildlife, could it? If caught, that would be a big trouble."

Lin Chang'e shook her head.

He Dazhuang then said: "Or maybe it's an ancient artifact?"

Lin Chang'e shook her head.

He Dazhuang guessed several times.

When they arrived at the inspection stop and he parked the car, before getting out he joked: "It couldn't be a pile of dead heads, could it?"

Lin Chang'e nodded.

"Haha! I finally guessed right!"

He Dazhuang, feeling pleased, brought the vehicle to a stop.
