Wang Yiyi and Xiao Bo waded through the water and walked to the shore.

"Can we go in?"

"cannot!"

Xiao Bo led Wang Yiyi forward, and suddenly a man came out from the darkness.

"Are you going to stay at the hotel?"

"Where?"

"It's right in front, that's my home!"

"How much? We only have Chinese currency."

"100 Chinese dollars."

Wang Yiyi saw that her body was wet and had no choice but to agree.

When we got there, it was just a farmyard. "There's hot water on the stove. You can wash and change your clothes. If you want to eat, you'll pay for it."

"Can I ask, have you seen this man? This is my uncle. He said he would wait for us for ten days at the place where we disembarked. I came to seek refuge with him."

The man looked at Wang Yiyi without saying anything. Xiao Bo directly took out a banknote from Wang Yiyi's pocket and handed it to the man.

"The next day after this man got off the boat, someone picked him up."

"What! What should we do? How could my uncle be so untrustworthy and abandon us?"

Xiao Bo took out another banknote

"What car did you take? Can you remember the license plate number? How many people were there in the car? What did they look like?"

The man took Xiao Bo's money

"There was only one person in the car. He was quite tall and handsome, wearing a suit and in his early 30s."

Xiao Bo handed over another banknote

"The car number is these few numbers. Remember it. It's a black sleeper car."

"Husband, what should we do? My uncle is gone, what should we do?"

"Do you want to eat?"

"No, we want to be alone for a while."

The man left after hearing this.

Xiao Bo quickly closed the door.

"Honey, don't worry, we'll go ask tomorrow. With this license plate number, maybe we can find your uncle."

Xiao Bo kept tapping Wang Yiyi's hand, and Wang Yiyi nodded.

"Honey, we have almost spent all our money. What should we do? I should not have come here if I had known."

"How about we take a shower first and ask again in the morning?"

"I don't want to wash it. Just change these pants and dry the shoes."

Neither of them washed their shoes, but put them by the stove to dry.

Xiao Bo and Wang Yiyi lay on the bed in their clothes and stared blankly for a while.

It was daybreak. Wang Yiyi walked out the door and looked around the small village. There were only a dozen households. The man from yesterday was working in the yard.

"Do you guys have breakfast?"

"If we don't eat, how are we going to get to the city?"

"There will be a bus to the city in a little while. If you pass by, just wait by the roadside. There is only one bus a day."
