Quite awkward

Chapter 77: Staying in the Countryside

After calling the police, the phone slid down Qi Yu's cheek.

She had just reported the exact location of the accident over the phone and expected someone to come and rescue the trapped people soon, but she couldn't put her mind at ease.

Dozens of tons of yellow mud buried the entire car body, the roof collapsed, and the air inside the car was thin. If the people inside the car could not save themselves, they would probably be in great danger.

Qi Yu was still frightened by the sudden natural disaster.

If they had not stopped and continued on their way back, perhaps she and Mu Chenan would have been buried by the mudslide.

The car window was opened two centimeters. There was silence all around except for the sound of heavy rain. The only car on the road was driving forward quickly.

Muchenan wanted to leave this dangerous mountain area as soon as possible and find a flat place to stop, but this went against their way home.

Qi Yu could not provide any help. She remained silent, staring blankly ahead.

After driving about another seven or eight kilometers, the car slowed down and outside the car was a vast farmland. This was a rural area near the river.

Mu Chenan parked the car steadily under a big tree on the side of the road, breathed a sigh of relief, opened a bottle of mineral water with one hand, and glanced at the local news on his mobile phone.

The report said that a serious mudslide occurred in the remote suburbs of Linjiang, and several vehicles were buried. Firefighters were dispatched urgently to participate in the rescue and reminded citizens to stay away from that road. As for when the road will be open, the specific time is currently unknown.

After drinking the water, Mu Chenan tightened the bottle cap and threw it aside. He didn't show the news to Qi Yu, thinking that she could see it on her mobile phone.

He stated the facts calmly: "Qi Yu, the road is blocked. We can't go back for the time being."

Qi Yu turned to look at him, pondered for a long time, and said worriedly: "I have a scene to shoot tomorrow, what should I do?"

Mu Chenan had been driving for the entire morning and had just drunk some water without eating anything. He had no intention of answering her questions.

He rolled down the car window. Not far away, there were several two-story buildings. One of them had a blue and white brick exterior. It looked like a new house, and perhaps the environment was good.

For the time being, they could only give the owner some money and let him and Qi Yu go into the house to use the bathroom, eat something, and rest for a while. After they found a way through, they could leave on their own.

He got out of the car and took out a long-handled umbrella from the trunk, opened it, walked to the passenger seat and opened the door.

"get off."

Qi Yu put the bag on her shoulder and saw his half arm stretched out in front of her. She took his hand and used the force to jump off the Mercedes-Benz G. Soon a large black umbrella was held over her head.

Standing under the big tree blocked some of the rain, but you still need to hold an umbrella when walking outside.

The car door slammed shut.

Mu Chenan locked the car, opened an umbrella and led Qi Yu towards the building.

The black umbrella had plenty of space, so the two of them didn't need to stand close together. However, after a few steps into the water, Qi Yu's trouser legs got wet by the rain and stuck to her ankles, feeling cold and uncomfortable.

After a while, as we got closer to the building, we saw that the door was open and there was no one inside.

It was not a good idea to rush in, so the two stood under the porch to avoid the rain. Mu Chenan put away his umbrella and knocked on the stainless steel door, asking, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Qi Yu looked inside and thought, the room looks really clean, the owner must be a hardworking person.

A moment later, a white-haired old lady walked out quickly. She looked quite agile. Seeing the stranger, her face was not defensive. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm deaf, please speak louder."

Mu Chenan raised his voice slightly to explain that they had accidentally encountered a mudslide and were forced to stay here.

"I'll give you some money, can you let us go in and rest for a while?"

Qi Yu nodded and smiled at the old lady.

After the old lady understood, she spent some time thinking, then moved forward and looked at Mu Chenan and Qi Yu carefully.

Seeing that the two men had friendly faces and spoke politely, she finally nodded and started talking more.

"I'm the only one at home. My son and grandson all live in the city. There's a spare room upstairs with a bathroom. You can stay there."

Mu Chenan had just found a stack of red banknotes from the car. He handed it to the old lady with a friendly smile: "Thank you, please accept it."

The old lady had lived for so many years, and seeing that the other party was so generous, she knew that he must be of extraordinary status. She accepted the money frankly without any hesitation.

"Go ahead, go ahead, and do as you please."

The old lady lived casually. She turned around and went into another room, no longer paying attention to them.
