When the sky began to darken, the pickup truck didn't stop anywhere, and began to drive straight along the national road. "You were kicked out?" The woman suddenly asked in the dimly lit pickup truck.It is more like an affirmative sentence than an interrogative sentence.I replied yes, and was hesitating whether to fabricate my life experience as I told Kang Zhi before, but she opened the conversation first. "It was because my husband was having an affair. In the end, they were out in the open. When I got home from get off work, my husband and the woman were eating at the dinner table. It was hell on earth."

"So uh..." I was about to ask her if that was why she escaped, when the woman holding the steering wheel turned on the lights. "Fortunately, I met Master Angel who saved me. If I couldn't live there, I might have killed my husband and that woman." she muttered to herself.No matter how she looked, she looked like a woman in her fifties, and it was really weird to say the word Angel.I suddenly remembered the adjective "suspicious group" mentioned by Kang Zhi. "However, those are all past events. It was when I was still suffering in this world." She said again as if wanting to drive alone, and parked the car on the side of the road.

"I need to make a call, just wait for me." After she finished speaking, she got out of the car and walked to the payphone next to the vending machine. A week, no, three days is fine.In short, we must first find a place to spend the night.Where to go next, just take advantage of this period to decide.If it is really a suspicious religious group as Kang Zhi said, it will not be too late to escape.I thought to myself while looking at her back illuminated by the blue and white street lamp.Kaoru fell asleep with her eyes slightly closed. "One more person to go." The woman came back and said: "Speaking of which, my name is Wendai, Gucun Wendai, Master Angel gave me a name, but I always feel embarrassed." She smiled shyly and started the engine.

"Please give me more advice in the future." I just said this and bowed my head. Pickup trucks raced along dimly lit national roads with no shops or fast food restaurants.Turn left at the level crossing and follow the side of the tracks.Finally there was a light on the opposite side of the track, and there was a small station.The signboard says Okubo Station.I can't guess which county or city it is.Wen Dai got off the car and walked to the station. After a while, he came back with another woman.She is a woman whose hair is dyed brown, and it should be called a girl.She was wearing jeans, a backpack, and a plastic bag from a convenience store in one hand.

"Squeeze, it should fit three people." Wen Dai opened the door of the passenger seat and said that the girl got in. "Hello." She smiled at me as I made room.The cheerful tone is like a new transfer student greeting the classmates at the next table.I couldn't help but nodded and said hello. "Isn't this a baby? Six months old? Hey, let me hold you." The girl said affectionately, and held out her hand to Kaoru.I unbuckled the straps and handed Kaoru to her. She leaned close to the sleeping Kaoru and spoke to Kaoru.Wen Dai got into the driver's seat again, and the pickup truck drove out.
