Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Give a Sweet Date and Then a Slap

Helplessly, Jiang Yan had no choice but to step on the accelerator.

As Jiang Li had said, this stretch of road was indeed difficult to navigate.

Chixia Village was hidden among the mountains; they had to drive along a winding mountain road and through a stretch of stone forest before finally arriving.

It had rained a few days earlier, making the mountain road wet and slippery, with stones covering the surface.

Moreover, the van was old and rickety, and even He Yun started to feel overwhelmed by the bumps after a while.

Not to mention Qi Tianyu, who had already twisted his neck, and the girls Shu Yan and Wen Jiaojiao.

The driver, Jiang Yan, had a bellyful of fire, cursing all the way.

“What kind of crappy road is this, it’s the 21st century and we still have roads like this?”

“Is this road even meant for driving?”

“Is the production team deliberately making things difficult for us?”

Jiang Li, on the other hand, didn’t have any discomfort.

Riding in ancient carriages was far bumpier than this, enough to make a person dizzy.

Having ridden in carriages for over a decade, she could tolerate even the shakiest of car rides on the roughest of roads.

“This is the only road that leads to Chixia Village. It has only been in the last few years that Chixia Village has shed its label of poverty. Three years ago, when the villagers wanted to go out, they had to walk through these muddy mountain paths on foot. If there was heavy rainfall, they couldn’t even step outside their doors.”

“The village chief of Chixia Village, out of concern for the school children and elderly who needed to travel, led the young and strong villagers to spend two whole years carrying stones to pave this mountain road.”

Jiang Li’s storytelling was particularly pleasant to the ears, even drowning out the noisy engine sound.

Everyone gradually fell silent, with even Wen Jiaojiao’s complaints becoming softer.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, “How do you know so much? Isn’t this your first time here too?”

Jiang Li gave him a glance, “Don’t you do your research and get to know the place before you come?”

Jiang Yan: “….”

Who has the time for that nonsense?

[I went to search it up, and everything Jiang Li said is spot-on. The story of the Chixia Village chief leading villagers to pave the road even made it to the trending searches that year!]

[Wuwuwu, why do I feel so moved? Just now, Jiang Li’s expressions and voice had such a penetrating power, like a person with a real sense of story was telling the tale.]

[The production team is quite thoughtful; I thought they had just chosen a place at random.]

[Jiang Li is also very meticulous, doing research before coming. Suddenly, I’m shifting from my previous position; she seems so genuine.]

Because the topic of discussion was so widely talked about, and with Xingmei Entertainment pushing it along, it didn’t take long for the three words #Chixia Village# to rise to the top of the trending searches, drawing significant social attention.

After Jiang Li’s “educational” talk, none of the five complained for the second half of the journey.

By the time the sun was about to set, Jiang Yan finally drove the car to their destination.

Exhausted in both body and mind, everyone dragged their suitcases out of the car, not even having the strength to question Director Sun.

As for Director Sun’s side:

He was happily eating watermelon in the shade with several staffers. When he heard the commotion from afar, he quickly gestured for people to pack up, putting on a look as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Even though the summer days were cool in the mountains, the breezeless mountaintop still carried a hint of stuffiness.

It was only when the van let out a long, horn-like screech of brakes and came to a stop that Director Sun walked over with a hairdryer in hand.

“Sss, you guys took much longer than we expected; the sun’s almost gone down.”

Jiang Yan, jumping out of the van with a dark expression, kicked the door shut with his foot.

“You try driving this broken van on a mountain road! I’m about to develop cervical spondylosis.”

Wen Jiaojiao, while massaging her ankle, kept complaining, “I’m really fed up; I’ve never ridden in such an uncomfortable car. Why didn’t you rent us a helicopter?”

Shu Yan, too, was constantly lamenting as she looked at her ruined makeup in the mirror.

Qi Tianyu, whose neck was completely twisted beyond repair, didn’t even have the strength to complain.

[Hahahaha I’m dying of laughter, they look so bedraggled, I really want to laugh.]
