Chapter 170

Qiao Ai was a little panicked. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. If there was no problem with the car, they could get back before five o'clock.

Jiang Che was quite calm and called the towing company, but because their car broke down on the mountain and it was approaching evening, the people from the towing company couldn't make it that day, and they wouldn't be able to come until the next morning.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che told Qiao Ai the sad news, Qiao Ai stared at him with wide eyes, and remained silent for a while.

"I can only make do with it in the car."

Qiao Ai lowered his head, reluctantly accepting this reality.

The car couldn't start and the heater couldn't be turned on, and the heat in the car was losing little by little.

Qiao Ai held back her urine for a while, and wanted to endure going home before going to the bathroom, but now they couldn't go back, and she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Brother." She called Jiang Che.

Jiang Che turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"I want to go to the toilet."

Jiang Che looked around, dug out a bottle of mineral water from the back seat, poured out the water inside, and handed the empty bottle to her.

She stared at the empty bottle handed by the man, blushed, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Brother, it's true that we are trapped here, but we are not trapped in the car and cannot get out."

She pointed at the grove beside the road, "I'll go and solve it."

Before Jiang Che could react, she had already unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door and ran down, and disappeared into the woods in no time.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Qiao Ai did not come back. He was about to call her when he found her mobile phone left in the car.

He got out of the car, walked to the edge of the forest and called a few times, but did not hear Qiao Ai's response. He resolutely walked into the woods and searched for a while, but there was no sign of Qiao Ai.

He walked out of the forest along the way he came, hoping that Qiao Ai had returned to the car, but there was no one in the car.

He felt extremely uneasy, and just when he decided to go into the woods to look again, a figure ran out of the woods and ran towards him quickly.

It's Joey!
She was soaked all over her body, and she was out of breath from running. She stopped in front of him, panting heavily: "Brother, I found a family."

Jiang Che, who was about to reprimand Qiao Ai for running around, choked back the words that came to his lips.

"where?"

"Over there in the woods, I found a way to go there. There is a shortcut that can go directly through the woods. It's not far away, and it will be there in 10 minutes."

Jiang Che hesitated for a while, and decided to go to that farmhouse with Qiao Ai to have a look. After all, the temperature was low at night and he could bear it, but Qiao Ai's small body might not be able to bear it.

"You lead the way."

Qiao Ai smiled, took his hand, and led her into the woods. After walking for a long time, Qiao Ai led him out of the woods. Looking around, there was really a simple building in the mist. The cabin is located in a field.

Qiao Ai pulled him to the front of the wooden house. She was not good at dealing with strangers and stood behind him decisively, leaving the rest to him.

With a faint smile, he led her to knock on the door of the cabin, but no one answered for a long time.

Seeing that the wooden door was not locked, he gently pushed the door open, "Is anyone there?"

No one answered.

He led Qiao Ai in. The wooden house was small, with a fireplace, some dry firewood piled up beside it, a wooden bed, a table and a chair, and a small cabinet in the corner.

He walked to the table and found that there was a layer of dust on the table. It was obvious that no one had lived here for some time.

"Let's spend the night here." He turned to Qiao Ai and said.

Qiao Ai nodded, walked to the cabinet next to her, opened the cabinet door and looked through, found candles, matches, and some canned food, and confirmed that the food was still within the expiration date, she said excitedly: "Brother, there is something to eat here. "

Jiang Che gave an 'hmm', took the matches she found, and went to the fireplace first to start a fire.

With a fire source, the small wooden house quickly warmed up.

Qiao Ai walked up to Jiang Che with the can, and murmured, "Why don't we eat other people's things?"

Jiang Che smiled, took out his wallet, drew two hundred-yuan bills and put them on the table, "You can eat now."

Qiao Ai stuffed the jar into his hand, "Open it for me."

Even though she could chop watermelons with bare hands, in front of Jiang Che, she wanted to be softer and make herself more like a girl.

Jiang Che opened two jars, both of which were luncheon meat.

"You eat first, I'll get water in the car." He got up and walked out.

Qiao Ai said worriedly: "Do you know the way?"

"It's so close, of course I recognize it."

"I'm afraid you'll get lost in the woods."

She was able to easily take a shortcut to lead Jiang Che through the woods because she marked the way.

"Let me go." She put down the can, got up and walked to Jiang Che, "Give me the car keys."

"I will go with you."

"No, I'll be back soon, you burn up the fire in the fireplace."

He gave her the car keys, but worried that she would be alone, he hesitated for less than a minute, and followed.

As soon as Qiao Ai entered the woods, she heard a rustling sound behind her. She stopped nervously, and picked up a thicker wooden stick in her hand. Seeing a figure approaching, she swung the stick and was about to hit her.

"It's me." Jiang Che grabbed the stick she swung over and said with a wry smile, "Your awareness of safety is quite high, not bad."

Qiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course you have to be safe in the wild."

"You continue to lead the way."

Qiao Ai threw the stick in her hand, followed the marks she made, and led Jiang Che out of the woods in a short while.

There were only two bottles of water left in the car, Jiang Che took them all, and returned to the cabin with Qiao Ai.

He took off his wet clothes and put them on a chair to dry by the fireplace. The two of them sat down by the fireplace and ate some luncheon meat to satisfy their hunger.

Qiao Ai leaned on Jiang Che's shoulder, and suddenly felt that being trapped on the mountain was fine, but she couldn't celebrate Jiang Che's birthday, and she originally wanted to prepare a sumptuous meal.

"Brother, today is your birthday, I'm sorry to let you eat luncheon meat." She muttered softly.

Jiang Che smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have your birthday."

It wasn't his birthday, but he was used to receiving small gifts from Qiao Ai on his birthday in recent years.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became curious about what gift Qiao Ai prepared for him this year.

The firewood in the wooden house was limited, and the fire went out in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the coat had been dried, and the small size of the wooden house could preserve a certain amount of residual heat.

Jiang Che wrapped the coat around Qiao Ai, put on the coat himself, and hugged Qiao Ai tightly into his arms.

The bed in the cabin was so dirty and covered in dust that it was impossible to sleep on it.

The two leaned against the fireplace, relying on the remaining warmth until dawn.

-

Jiang Che was woken up by a call from the towing company. The time of the call was eight o'clock in the morning. The people from the towing company had just gone to work, and after confirming their location, they immediately sent a car over.

Jiang Che and Qiao Ai returned to the car at ten o'clock, and after waiting for half an hour, the people and the car from the towing company finally arrived, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the city in the tow truck.
