Zhu Yang replied while keeping an eye on the path, "Actually, it's not that dramatic. It just happened so that I was taking on a job myself and couldn't join the convoy."
Run Sheng appeared quite excited and said, "This is what Jianghu is all about!"
They found the path and soon after driving down it, a small village appeared, with just a few dozen households, many of which still had their lights on.
Zhu Yang apologized, "Let's make do and rest for the night. We'll set off when it gets light, and we'll reach our destination with just one press of the accelerator tomorrow."
He did not plan to enter the village or consider finding accommodation, but simply wanted to find a populated place to park and take a break.
It would truly be dangerous to stop by some desolate roadside where not even birds would defecate.
Zhu Yang had dry food in his car, and Run Sheng had some in his snake-skin bag as well—everyone ate something casually and then prepared to rest.
