Chapter 136

Three days later, early morning. Hou Yong drove along the national highway, relying on a paper map and stopping to ask for directions until he finally located the village where Li Meng’s family lived. There was no helping it; in this day and age, there was no GPS, and the highway infrastructure was still in its infancy. Getting lost on a long-distance drive was practically the norm. Hou Yong sat in the passenger seat, feeling drowsy. In just three days, that fellow Qu Yiheng had already figured out how to operate the car. Although both of them were currently driving without licenses, Hou Yong was a seasoned hand, and besides, there were so few people on the road who could afford a car that nobody was going to stop them to check for a driver’s license. Furthermore, the roads were mostly empty; as long as you knew how to handle the clutch, the gas pedal, and the brake, traffic accidents were unlikely.
