Chapter 118: The Eldest Nephew Causes Trouble...We Have Medicine
After getting off the bus, Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou hurried to the train station without stopping. Xu Hengzhou had arranged for someone to buy the train tickets in advance, and time was tight; if they missed it, it would be a disaster.
Luckily, there was a direct bus in the city, which made things convenient. When they arrived at the station, they waited for a while before the ticket inspection and boarding began.
The journey to the northwest was long, and Xu Hengzhou had bought sleeper tickets. Fortunately, there were no hiccups this time, and they passed the journey smoothly.
The train stopped at a provincial capital city in the northwest, but the farm where Song Wenbin was located was in a more remote area.
After getting off the train, Xu Hengzhou first found a guesthouse for Xiang Chen to stay in. By the time they arrived, it was already late; they had been on the train for more than a day, and their bodies were inevitably tired. Even though Xiang Chen was mentally excited, his body was very weak.
They spread a sheet on the bed, and without even changing their clothes, they took off their jackets and lay down.
They slept until the next morning. When Xiang Chen woke up, Xu Hengzhou had already bought breakfast and returned. The specialty lamb soup of this city was kept in a thermos, and as soon as Xu Hengzhou came out of the shop, he put it into his space. When he took it out, it smelled as fresh as if it had just been cooked.
Xu Hengzhou had already eaten, so he packed up while waiting for Xiang Chen to eat. They hadn't had any proper food on the train, so Xiang Chen ate two large steamed buns with lamb soup and some pickled vegetables that Xu Hengzhou had brought out, feeling satisfied.
After finishing this not-too-early-or-too-late meal, Xu Hengzhou took Xiang Chen to check out of the room and then found a vehicle to go to the farm area.
He had asked around when he went out to buy breakfast in the morning and had found a truck that was transporting goods in that direction according to someone's directions. Xu Hengzhou took out a small bottle of liquor, and the driver soon patted his shoulder and treated him like a brother. He and Xiang Chen then hitched a ride on this truck to go to the farm.
On the road, Xu Hengzhou struck up a conversation with the driver who introduced himself as Mr. Huang, carefully probing for information about the farm.
Mr. Huang was a talkative and rough man, speaking straightforwardly. He directly asked Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen what they were doing in such a remote place.
Xu Hengzhou replied honestly, "My father has a comrade-in-arms working over there. He has taken care of us before, so we're going to visit him."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he relaxed his tone with Xu Hengzhou. "To be honest, the conditions over at the farm aren't great. If it weren't for me, you'd be worrying about how to get there. Apart from their area, it's desolate and uninhabited."
Xu Hengzhou's expression became slightly troubled. "So, life there is difficult? My uncle was injured on the battlefield in his early years, and my aunt just gave birth. I don't know what the situation is like."
"It's not too bad, actually," Mr. Huang quickly reassured. "At the very least, they won't go hungry or lack clothing. Look at my truck; it's all supplies for them."
