Chapter 525 Sand Sea 19
When they reached Hei Xiazi, Zhang Chuzhen was about to withdraw his hand when he heard him say, "Wait, pull me up too."
Su Wan curled his lip upon hearing this, feeling that the man was doing it on purpose: "Brother Hei, how could you possibly not be able to get up?"
"I've been protecting you all the way, and I just rested for a while and haven't recovered yet. Plus, I still have a wound on my arm."
"Hurry up!" Zhang Chuzhen reached out her hand to urge him.
Black Bear chuckled and used her momentum to lift himself up.
The three of them had only walked a short distance when they discovered that many people were camping not far ahead.
They hid behind the sand, observing the people over there.
Hei Xiazi: "These are all people from the Nine Gates."
Su Wan asked in confusion, "With so many people here, what's going on here?"
"There must be something that makes people flock to it."
“We’ve been down there for so long, but we haven’t seen anything special. All I know is that it’s very dangerous.”
Hei Xiazi smiled without saying a word, but Zhang Chuzhen suddenly spoke up: "You two probably don't want to walk out of the desert, do you?"
"What do you mean, Sister Zhang?"
"You want to drive their car away?" Black Bear guessed.
"Yes, this is Gutongjing. Their car must be parked outside. We just need to steal the key."
"good idea!"
"Not so good!"
Hei Xiazi and Su Wan's voices rang out simultaneously. It was two against one, and the minority had to obey the majority. Su Wan dared not utter another word.
Zhang Chuzhen suggested, "It's difficult to move around with too many people; one person can go."
"Then, who should go?" Su Wan asked.
Zhang Chuzhen: "I'll go." It would be faster for her to go alone.
Black Bear: "I'll go."
The two spoke one after the other. Su Wan looked at this one and then at that one. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but he was afraid that he would be caught if he went out.
He wanted to ask who was going, and then he saw a familiar-looking person walk out of a tent.
"Good brother, that's good..." Su Wan pointed over there, his voice rising with excitement.
Zhang Chuzhen and Hei Xiazi made their moves almost simultaneously.
Both of them quickly covered Su Wan's mouth with their hands, then dragged him away from the spot.
Because Zhang Chuzhen was faster, she still had one hand on the back of her hand. Hei Xiazi smiled at her before withdrawing his hand.
Zhang Chuzhen then let go of his hand. Su Wan, who had just felt like he was suffocating, was now breathing carefully.
"Who's over there!" Someone heard the noise and came over; luckily, they reacted quickly.
The three hid to the side and waited for the person who had come over to leave before they spoke.
Hei Xiazi slapped Su Wan on the shoulder: "Your shout almost made it impossible for us to leave."
Su Wan was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I got too excited when I saw Brother Hao."
“You guys wait here, I’ll go get the keys and bring the person out with me,” Zhang Chuzhen said.
As she was about to leave, Hei Xiazi stepped forward and grabbed her: "You go get the keys, I'll go bring the person back. The two of you will be faster."
Seeing his resolute attitude, she didn't hesitate: "Okay, let's get this over with quickly."
Su Wan: "Then I'll wait for you to come back here. Be careful!"
Zhang Chuzhen deliberately made herself inconspicuous, so that no one would notice her, and then swaggered into the tent, taking action against anyone who had a car key in their pocket.
When Hei Xiazi carried the unconscious Yang Hao back, he saw her leisurely squatting to one side, twirling the car keys in her hand.
"They moved pretty quickly; I didn't hear a sound at all."
"Okay, we have the people and the keys, let's go!"
Su Wan circled around Yang Hao and asked, "Brother Hao, Brother Hao, wake up! Blackie, what happened to Brother Hao?"
Hei Xiazi: "I didn't have time to explain to him just now, so it's more convenient to knock him out and bring him back."
“This…” Su Wan looked at Zhang Chuzhen.
He remembered that when Sister Zhang performed surgery on Uncle Hei, she suggested knocking him unconscious if it hurt. Was this some kind of special habit of theirs, knocking people out so easily?
"Carry him on your back and let's go!"
As Zhang Chuzhen spoke, he went to find the exit. The journey was smooth, and they found a car and drove away.
Zhang Chuzhen was driving, Hei Xiazi was in the passenger seat, and Su Wan was talking to Yang Hao, who was just waking up, in the back.
In the middle of the night, they found a place to stop and spend the night, ate something casually, and then rested in the car.
The next day, as soon as it was light, they continued on their way. The sunlight on the road grew brighter and brighter. Zhang Chuzhen held the steering wheel with one hand and reached into his pocket with the other.
"What are you looking for? I'll help you," Black Bear asked, seeing her movements.
"sunglasses."
"You should have said so earlier, I have some here." With that, Hei Xiazi took out a pair of sunglasses from his clothes: "It's inconvenient for you to drive right now, I'll put these on you."
"Hey!!" Before Zhang Chuzhen could even speak, a pair of sunglasses appeared on her face.
Well, although she didn't intend to refuse, otherwise she could have avoided it; it's just sunglasses, so why bother wearing them?
It's rare to find a bear that takes out something and doesn't charge a fee.
Black Bear laughed and said, "You're welcome. I still owe you a plate of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice."
“Hey, you’re too stingy. Sister Zhang saved you, so you treat her to stir-fried rice with green peppers and shredded pork,” Su Wan said.
Zhang Chuzhen curled the corner of her mouth: "That's stingy. Is Blackie's life only worth a plate of fried rice?"
"Then, shall I treat you to two meals?" Black Bear asked tentatively.
Su Wan and Yang Hao couldn't bear to watch, and Zhang Chuzhen quietly changed the subject: "Who else among you can drive?"
Yang Hao said, "I know how. I'll drive it this afternoon."
"Ah."
Hei Xiazi pushed up his sunglasses, and the smile on his lips deepened.
After returning home, the group went their separate ways.
Zhang Chuzhen drove the car to a place without surveillance cameras and put it into his spatial storage.
Then, she checked into a hotel. The estate wasn't finished yet and would take some time to build.

There were still quite a few people walking around on the streets at night.
Zhang Chuzhen parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and walked into an alley.
The weather in early spring is still a bit chilly, but today the weather is nice, and the temperature at night is quite pleasant.
She wore a long black wool coat today, her hair was clipped up, and her delicate earrings shimmered faintly under the night lights.
Zhang Chuzhen followed the map on her phone, wandering through several alleys before finally finding a small street with many food stalls and people coming and going.
She walked over to a fried rice stall and sat down at a table.
When the bear across the street saw her, he said to the owner, "Another serving of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice, please."
"Okay, come right away."
Zhang Chuzhen: "You really invited me to eat fried rice?"
"This fried rice is really good, you should try it."
Since she was already there, Zhang Chuzhen didn't refuse, as she remembered that many of these roadside stalls had a more authentic flavor.
The fried rice came out quickly. It smelled delicious because it was freshly cooked and had a good amount of shredded meat in it, making it look very appetizing.
She scooped a spoonful into her mouth and chewed the springy rice. The aroma of the seasonings and the flavors of the other ingredients created a wonderful combination of textures that satisfied her taste buds.
Judging from her focused eating, Hei Xiazi knew she was probably quite satisfied.
