NovelEnglishChapter 4066: Big Trap (6)
On one side, Qin Chu was still in the landmine zone after twelve hours.
The zone Qin Chu was in was filled with a ton of landmines.
It had way more landmines than Lu Yan’s route, and he would get blown to pieces if he wasn’t careful.
So, the route was extremely difficult to travel.
Qin Chu kept on thinking about Mian waiting for him to return safely…
Under the stress of missing his wife, Qin Chu walked every step with care.
On the other side, Huo Mian, Huo Siqian, and Su Yu drove to the nearest town.
It was a village with a dozen houses that looked like they would collapse if they were hit with a gust of wind.
“Finally, people. Let’s go eat something,” Su Yu said.
“I think we should hurry through the night and hide in a town. This village is too small, it puts a large target on us.”

Even though he saved their lives, Su Yu still despised him.
“Mian, what do you think?”
It was evident that Huo Siqian was deathly afraid of Leila catching up.
He didn’t care about his own death, but if Huo Mian fell back into Leila’s hands, then…
“I’m a little tired too, the baby has been moving quite often. Let’s rest.”
Huo Mian took Su Yu’s side, and Huo Siqian smiled without getting mad.
“Okay, we’ll listen to you. Let’s go find something to eat.”
After Su Yu parked, the three left the car.
“Huo Siqian, about that woman…”
“Shh…”
Huo Siqian motioned Huo Mian to not bring up Leila, seemingly for no reason.
However, sensing that Huo Siqian had his reasons, Huo Mian stopped pursuing the question.
Su Yu looked at the two acting mysteriously.
“What are you talking about? What woman?”
“Nothing. Su Yu, go knock on some doors and buy food.”
“Why don’t you go?” Su Yu didn’t sit well with the decision.
“I have no money.”
“I don’t have money either.” Su Yu rolled his eyes.
“But you have a watch.”
Huo Siqian pointed at the diamond studded Patek Phillippe on Su Yu’s wrist and smiled mischievously.
“Sell mine, it’s cheaper.”
Huo Mian didn’t want Su Yu to sell his watch, so she took off the limited edition platinum Cartier watch on her wrist.
“No, it’s fine. I have lots of watches anyways.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Huo Mian taking off her watch made Su Yu feel bad. He walked towards a house and knocked on the door.
After a while, a girl who looked to be fifteen or so opened the door.
“Who are you looking for?” her voice sounded timid.
“Little girl, we’re… Tourists. We got lost, we’re really hungry. Can you give us something to eat?”
The girl’s eyes looked very naive, like she had never seen any evil in the world.
“Don’t worry, we won’t just eat your food. We can exchange it for valuables,” Su Yu added.
“Grandma, a man with his friends say that they’re lost and hungry. They say they’re tourists and want to eat, is that okay?”
The girl seemed to ask an elder in the house.
The old woman said something in a dialect that Su Yu couldn’t understand.
The girl opened the door and said in a friendly tone, “My grandma said yes. You can come in.”
Just like that, Su Yu, Huo Siqian, and Huo Mian finally found a place to rest.
However, the family lived in absolute poverty.
There was nothing in the house, and the walls were falling apart. It was apparent that the girl and the old woman didn’t live a good life.
“Little girl, is there something to eat?” Su Yu asked, thinking that Huo Mian must be starving.
“Is corn paste okay? That’s all we have.” The child’s eyes remained pure, making Su Yu feel pity for her.
