Therefore, after much thought, Chen Meng’er only came up with the idea of depositing the money in the bank.
“Alright, Meng’er, this money was only taken out from the bank by me after I pulled some strings. If you deposit the money in the bank now, wouldn’t everything that I did before be in vain?” Elder Liu paused for a moment, then he said, “You don’t have to worry about it anymore. I’ll be responsible for sending you home safely.” After Elder Liu finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Xiao Liu, “Xiao Liu, get them to prepare the car.”
“Oh, okay,” Xiao Liu replied.
Chen Meng’er understood what Elder Liu meant, so she didn’t mention how to deal with the money. As for Chen Ping, he did not quite understand what Elder Liu meant by this. What did he mean by “I will be responsible for sending you home safely.”?
It was not until Xiao Liu returned that he said to Elder Liu, “Everything is ready.”
“Okay,” Elder Liu replied. He called over the man who had just come back with the money, aka the man with a fierce face, and asked him to move the money out. “Let’s go,” Elder Liu said to Chen Meng’er and Chen Ping after giving all the instructions.
Chen Meng’er calmly drank all the drink Elder Liu had prepared for her. Chen Ping, on the other hand, wanted to stop her. In the end, he just watched Elder Liu busy himself.
Chen Meng’er slowly slid down from her seat and walked to her father, Chen Ping, and held his hand. “Dad, let’s follow Grandpa Liu.”
“Oh, okay.”
When Chen Meng’er saw the car parked at the door, she was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Elder Liu’s car to actually be an imported car. One had to know how difficult it was to get the word ‘imported’ on it. Not to mention something as big as a car.
When Chen Ping saw the black car parked outside the door, he didn’t have any reaction. He had never seen such a thing in his life. When Elder Liu opened the door of the passenger seat and said to them, “Come in, let’s go.” Chen Ping was stunned.
Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, calmly opened the door of the backseat. “Dad, go in.”
“Okay,” Chen Ping replied. However, the surprised expression on his face didn’t fall off. Then, he followed behind Chen Meng’er and got into the car.
After the car drove a long distance, Chen Ping slowly came back to his senses. He looked around with his eyes wide open.
When Chen Meng’er saw the familiar scenery outside the window, this reincarnated person, who had even taken a bullet train and a plane, could not help but sigh at this moment, “After all, it’s a private car. The speed is really different.” If they had taken a bus to the city in the morning, who knew where they would be now.
Chen Ping, who had the same thoughts as Chen Meng’er, was also surprised. How long had it been? They had already reached the town.
“Where are we going now?” When they reached the town, Elder Liu asked.
“Turn right and drive straight ahead.” After Chen Ping said that, he thought for a moment, he said worriedly, “Elder Liu, why don’t you send us here? My bicycle is still stored in the town. Moreover, from this town to our village, there are muddy roads. Your small car probably won’t be easy to drive into.”
“It’s fine. As long as the road is enough for my car to pass through. As for your bicycle…” Elder Liu’s trip this time was not purely out of kindness to send Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er back. He was not here to do good. He came for the ancient medical book in Chen Meng’er’s hand. Therefore, Elder Liu thought for a moment, he gave Chen Ping a choice. “How about this? You choose. First, you go down and ride your bike back alone. Meng’er will show us the way. Second, you go back with us. When we go back, I will bring you back to town and pick up the bike.”
Chen Ping really wanted to say that he didn’t want to choose either option. Although he felt that Elder Liu wasn’t a bad person. However, Chen Ping was still worried about leaving his daughter alone with this unfamiliar person. “I’ll go back with you guys. I’ll pick up this bicycle when I come to town in two days.”
“Okay.” Elder Liu instructed the driver to start the car.
This rural road was really beyond Elder Liu’s expectations. Although the width of this road was wide enough for a small car to pass through, this road was very uneven and bumpy because of the mud. As a result, Elder Liu, who was sitting on the front passenger seat, did not look too good from the jolting.
This made the driver so worried that he could not help but ask, “Sir, are you okay? Do you want me to park the car by the side so that you can come down and rest for a while?”
“I’m fine, there’s no need to stop.” Elder Liu indicated that there was no need. He knew that if the car stopped and he was allowed to rest for a period of time, he wouldn’t want to sit on it again. However, he was glad that he was a Chinese medicine practitioner, he had been taking good care of his body on a daily basis. Otherwise, just this one round of driving would have caused him to lose more than half of his old life.
In fact, even Chen Meng’er, a three-year-old child, was having a hard time being tossed around, not to mention Elder Liu at his age. Her stomach was churning non-stop. She regretted drinking too much milk today.. For the first time, she felt that the bicycle seemed to be a good means of transportation.
