After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 103 Returning Home (29)
After Tong Jia came out of the Zhang family's house closest to the city gate, he immediately rushed to the county town where the Yang family was.
Thinking it was daytime and there were people everywhere, she couldn't get the lithium battery electric car out of the RV, so she could only rely on her two legs to travel. Fortunately, she met a donkey cart on the road.
She paid a dime and got a ride.
But she went there in a donkey cart, while Guo Xin, Tao Junle and others went there in a large truck after leaving the city.
This speed is not even on the same order of magnitude.
The only chance of overtaking them is if they don't drive there directly during the day.
Because cars are very rare nowadays, if they drive there rashly during the day, many people will definitely come to see the cars, and the secrets in the cave will be exposed, and they will not be able to move the things away immediately.
In order to reduce the exposure of those things, they must go to the cave at night.
Tong Jia had no idea what route these people would take, but as long as she could get to the cave before dark, it would be fine.
The donkey cart was too slow, so Tong Jia paid extra money to change to a horse carriage.
But horse-drawn carriages were also used to transport people from one village to another, just like modern buses. Compared with trucks, their speed was still slow.
Tong Jia was extremely anxious, but there was no suitable means of transportation in the RV, so she could only worry.
Unfortunately, although her RV was originally an RV, after it became her space, it only had the functions of storage and preservation.
Feeling regretful, she caught a glimpse of a jeep with its keys inserted in the car on the side of the road.
The back of the person who just got off the car looked a bit like Pan Meiying, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Thinking that Yang Jixia was still moving things at Zhang's house, if Pan Meiying were to go there at this time, it would be a disaster for those who were moving things at Zhang's house.
Fortunately, so far, she has only seen Pan Meiying.
Whether it was to stop Pan Meiying from going to the provincial capital or to have a fast means of transportation, Tong Jia really needed the jeep parked on the side of the road.
She decisively got off the carriage, found an empty alley and entered the RV, put on the invisibility cloak that had been prepared long ago, and quietly moved to the driver's seat of the jeep.
Pan Meiying only needed time to get out of the car to have a meal when Tong Jia stepped on the accelerator and drove away in the jeep.
When she came out after finishing her meal, even the exhaust fumes from the jeep had dissipated.
Pan Meiying, who had just come out of the county town where the Yang family lived and was about to go to the provincial capital to meet up with Lan'er and Zhu'er, was so angry that she laughed when she saw that the place where she had parked was empty.
At that moment, she decided to change her itinerary and catch the thief who stole her car first. After all, the main purpose of her trip to the provincial capital was in the trunk.
If Tong Jia drove along the roads in the county town, she would soon be found by the police station, but she chose not to take the usual route and insisted on driving the same route the mule cart took last time.
This happened to save her life.
Just when Pan Meiying felt that the local police station was not effective enough and even the local defense forces were mobilized, Tong Jia had already driven to the cave where the statue of Taishang Laojun was found.
The jeep cannot be parked outside. Not only will it be easily discovered, but it will also make Guo Xin and others think that there are other people here and hesitate to come in.
Tong Jia tried to put the jeep on top of the RV and actually succeeded.
It seems that the RV's load-bearing capacity is still acceptable.
Just as she thought of this, she felt a pain in her chest.
It seemed like a voice was telling her that if the jeep continued to be placed on the roof of the RV for too long, the RV would be crushed because it could not hold up, and Tong Jia's RV would disappear.
Tong Jia didn't have time to think about it, and hurried into the cave as fast as possible. He took out the jeep on the open space where he found the statue of Laozi.
Sure enough, after getting out of the jeep, Tong Jia felt refreshed.
It was boring to sit in the car and wait for someone, so she started searching in the car.
Finally, a folder was found in the trunk. When it was opened, it contained a document on selecting suicide squads from the civilian population.
The content was that they would take advantage of the opportunity of holding a sports meeting in the provincial capital to select talents and form a death squad specifically to deal with organizations that were on long-distance marches.
It cannot be said that they are just dealing with them, but rather they want them to join the organization, especially at such a difficult time, so that they can better enter the core leadership circle.
The reason for selecting from sports competitions is that the more hardworking and physically fit a person is, the easier it is for him to be accepted by the organization.
Now that the person has been selected, how can we make him/her willingly carry out the task?
In addition to inducement, there is naturally coercion.
The back of the document covers the family situations of almost all athletes in the provincial capital, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each person, with a very thorough analysis.
Tong Jia didn't know those people, but from this document, she could tell that the person who made this document really worked hard.
She was concentrating on studying the materials when she heard the voices of Guo Xin and others.
"Old Guo, that kid only let us in but he himself didn't come in. Could there be some trick here?" a burly man asked anxiously.
Guo Xin said, "Don't talk nonsense. Lele is a child who is quite worried because he can't speak.
Since we started in Shanghai, he has been a good helper in our operations. Without him, the matter of the Fuso Consulate would not have been so smooth.
He is angry with his sister. Let him calm down outside.
Once you find the things, you guys move them first and I'll talk to him.
Hey? Aren’t you going with Lao Yang to look for him… why are you here?
Before Guo Xin could finish his words, he saw Tong Jia waving at him.
Tong Jia said: "Before leaving, I lost my temper with Lele. I wanted to wait for you to go back and talk to him, but after you left, I became more and more worried. I told Yang Jixia to lead the way and I followed him.
Fortunately I caught up with him.
Here, take a look at this document. I guess there'll be news from the provincial capital soon. When you deliver your gifts, please also pass this information along to the organization so they can pay more attention when recruiting new members.
Don't think that just because your background is clean, you have no connection with the government.
Where's Lele? Why can't I see him? "
Tong Jia handed the document in her hand to Guo Xin, and began to search for Tao Junle in the crowd.
While checking the contents of the document with a flashlight, Guo Xin replied, "He doesn't want to come in. He must be feeling uncomfortable.
I originally wanted to wait until they found the things and let them move them first while I went out to talk to Lele.
Since you are here, go ahead and leave this to me."
Tong Jia nodded and said, "Okay, I've brought you the place, you can just move it yourself.
I'll take Lele back home in a minute and won't wait for you guys anymore."
Guo Xin nodded, but his eyes did not leave the document.
This document contained information about their people. He was thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to send his people to Pan Meiying.
Pan Meiying is very famous now, her reputation is even comparable to that of Section Chief Dai. All the people she needs are selected by herself, and it is very difficult to send her own people to her.
If this document is not known, it will definitely be a disaster for the organization.
But now that they know, it is an opportunity for them.
So, while Guo Xin was directing people to move things, he was holding the documents and thinking about what to do next. He didn't even notice when Tong Jia left.
It was not until he saw the jeep in the cave and wanted to ask Tong Jia how the car got in, that he realized that the person was no longer there.
Tong Jia came out of the cave and didn't see any trace of Tao Junle.
His reluctant look at the city gate reappeared in Tong Jia's mind. Afraid of never seeing Tao Junle again, Tong Jia didn't care whether she would be exposed or not, and shouted directly: "Le Le, where are you? Le Le! Sister is here to find you.
Lele! Come out quickly. I'm here to apologize and take you home.
Lele..."
Logically speaking, Guo Xin and the others had not been in there for long, so even if Tao Junle left, he should not have gone too far. Tong Jia should have been able to hear the volume of his shouting.
At this time, Tao Junle, who was in the cave recalling the days he and Tong Jia spent here, did hear it.
He heard it, but he couldn't believe his ears.
I thought it was just an illusion because I missed Tong Jia too much.
Tong Jia shouted for most of the day until her voice was almost hoarse. Suddenly she realized that Tao Junle couldn't speak, so even if he heard her voice, he couldn't respond to her.
This place is so huge, and it's not easy to find the route in the dark.
Tong Jia called out again, "Le Le, if you hear my voice, go to the cave where we used to live and wait for me. I'll come pick you up right now."
Worried that Tao Junle wouldn't hear her after just one shout, Tong Jia shouted five times in a row until her voice was completely hoarse and she couldn't make any sound anymore.
There was a loudspeaker in her RV, but it was too powerful and everyone in the surrounding area knew what it was saying, which was not good.
Moreover, Guo Xin was the closest to her, and he knew clearly that he did not bring a loudspeaker when he came here. It would be difficult to explain if he suddenly produced a loudspeaker, and he could not fool Guo Xin.
After shouting, Tong Jia walked towards the cave.
Tao Junle also heard Tong Jia's shout.
In his heart, he certainly hoped that it was Tong Jia who was calling him, but when he thought of Tong Jia's disappointment in him before she left, he didn't dare to have any hope.
Fortunately, I was already in that cave, so I just lay down.
If it was really Tong Jia who came to find me, she would probably feel distressed when she saw my lonely figure in the cold wind, right?
Then he would have the chance to apologize to Tong Jia and return to her side.
He has already made up his mind. As long as Tong Jia is still willing to have him, he will be Tong Jia's younger brother for life. Even if he has to watch Tong Jia and Yang Jixia really get married and have children, he will not leave Tong Jia. He can even take care of Tong Jia's children in the future. As long as he can see Tong Jia every day, it will be a gift from God to him.
If all this was just an illusion and Tong Jia didn't come, then it doesn't matter.
Anyway, my parents’ revenge has been taken, and all the family property is in Tong Jia’s hands, so it can be considered a good value for money.
Tong Jia no longer needs him, and he is just a carefree floating duckweed. Being able to leave this world in this place full of memories of him and Tong Jia is what he has wished for.
Tao Junle closed his eyes and waited quietly, waiting for the ending that God had arranged for him.
Maybe he was too tired from traveling, or maybe he was a little carsick. After closing his eyes, Tao Junle felt that his eyelids were particularly heavy and he couldn't open them even if he wanted to.
When Tong Jia arrived at the cave, she saw Tao Junle, who was red all over due to fever and completely unconscious.
Tong Jia, who was very frightened, quickly brought Tao Junle into the RV, gave him Meng Po's medicine, put cooling patches on his forehead, neck and armpits, and kept testing his body temperature with a thermometer. Only when she saw that his temperature was dropping did she relax a little.
Looking at the sleeping Tao Junle, Tong Jia sighed softly.
Looking back on the journey she and Tao Junle have taken, it is undeniable that if Tao Junle was of the same age as her, or someone not too different from her, it would have been quite difficult for them not to develop some feelings for each other.
Because of Tao Junle's appearance, I always treated him as my younger brother.
But Tao Junle's heart has long been mature. He knows clearly what he wants, and it seems reasonable that he would develop romantic feelings for her.
If I put myself in his shoes, I don’t think I’m much better than Tao Junle.
Therefore, my previous accusations against Tao Junle were indeed excessive.
Matters of the heart are not something you can decide on your own, and the brain cannot control the heart.
Instead of struggling to control, it’s better to let nature take its course.
If I don't want to develop a relationship with Tao Junle, as long as he is willing to respect my ideas, there is no need for me to make a big deal out of it.
After figuring this out, Tong Jia's attitude towards Tao Junle became exactly the same as before.
With Meng Po's medicine, Tao Junle's fever subsided quickly.
When he opened his eyes, the person he saw the most was Tong Jia. Excited, he immediately hugged Tong Jia, wanting to absorb the warmth from her.
Suddenly remembering Tong Jia's previous rejection of his feelings, he quickly let go of Tong Jia, his expression still very embarrassed.
Tong Jia laughed and said, "Oh, you still feel embarrassed?
It seems that our Lele has really grown up, and sister can no longer treat you as a child.
Lele, I want to apologize to you first. I said something careless before and hurt your self-esteem. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
In addition, you are in adolescence, and it is normal to have some vague feelings towards the women around you. I shouldn't discredit your feelings. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
Also, I promised not to separate from you, and I also wanted you to do the task alone. I am breaking my promise.
But, Lele, we should also treat special cases specially, right?
The situation is urgent this time. Even if we don't quarrel, shouldn't we act separately? "
Tao Junle nodded woodenly.
Tong Jia continued, "That's right, so I won't apologize for breaking my promise.
Now can you forgive your sister?"
Tao Junle looked at Tong Jia and gestured, "Then can I still like my sister?"
Tong Jia nodded and said, "Le Le, you are still young and you may not be able to tell the difference between liking someone and loving someone.
You like your sister, and your sister likes you too.
But I have to tell you the truth, my liking for you is limited to a sister's liking for her brother, and it has nothing to do with love between men and women.
What about you? I believe you truly like me, but whether this liking truly contains love between a man and a woman, I think it will take time and your own growth to determine.
Until you are sure, I hope you won't bring up any topics other than siblings, okay?"
Tao Junle felt that it was good enough that Tong Jia did not stop him from liking her and was willing to let him follow her. As for other things, he could not consider them at all at the moment, so he naturally nodded and agreed obediently.
