Chapter 65 Chendigwa province (1/2)
Roline and An kai reached Chendigwa province after three hours of driving. take left from here,and stop at that big metal gate. An kai said to Roline, who has been driving.
reaching the mentioned gate, Roline stopped the car as An kai pushed the car door and wentnear to the gate. he pulled the small lock which was on the metal gate. the gate alone looked to be old, it had started to lose its shiny black colour on it.
Kai, what are you doing? can't we use the car horns to call for the residents? Roline was getting impatient and uncomfortable with An kai's actions.
no one is inside, aunt Xia left for her house in neighbouring town. we need to pack the car here and board a bus to her place.
”a bus?
yes, a bus. I can't let you drive anymore, your body may hurt since you're not used to long driving and if we decide to call a taxi, it will take us another hour to reach aunt Xia's home town.
An, we can't use a bus, people will recognize us and we might land in to trouble. we don't have anything to disguise ourselves. Roline was not getting An kai at the slightest, she knew that An kai didn't know what was taking place online. but why would she panic on such a small matter?
An kai was done opening the gate, he left Roline to enter the car inside as he walked towards the huge house. it was too big. one could think that it was a palace in its gone days. it had faded slightly, with tall grass grown all over the compound. dry and fresh leaves were scattered around the trees and flowers in it. but still gave off a sign of peace and quiet.
the overall environment was quiet with only the birds' sounds.
Roline didn't move, after packing the car few meters from the gate, she stood right near the exit. An was not scared of the house.
when he reached the door, he pressed in the password and walked up the stairs. he entered a room that seemed to belong to a kid. so many toys were in every corner of it but he went straight to the closet. grabbed a cape and jacket that had a hat on it, and rushedback to Roline.
here, put that on, I will put on this. An kai said before he pulled the jacket down on his body.
the weather wasn't hot, and not cold either. if one wore extra clothes, he or she was destined to feel hot.
Roline took the cape and tried to make it cover her face.
”you don't have to cover yourself too much, people here aren't gossipy as people in town.
some can't afford televisions and smart phones. the chance of looking your way is 1/10. An kai was saying this out of experience. people in Chendigwa province lived a very simple life.
hmm, don't you think you're underestimating your own people? Roline asked.
