GoodReadRowan nodded. It was such a poor place that they couldn't find a good hotel here.
Scarlett helped Scarlett go back to the car. Seeing them leave, those villagers started to gossip in dialect.
Hearing what they said, Kyleigh knew that Scarlett had gone. Kyleigh came out of the house again, looked in the direction that Scarlett had left, and cursed.
The neighbors beside her asked curiously," Mrs. Booker, what did that girl do? She rarely comes back to see you, but you just drove her away with a broom." "See me?" Kyleigh snorted. "This bitch wants to make me mad! You don't know how ungrateful she is! Three years ago, I..." Kyleigh began to talk about the past again. Those women listened with interest, said mean things about Scarlett together, and then happily went back homes.
Scarlett was unlucky. After they drove for about half an hour, the tires were suddenly punctured.
Although they had two spare tires, those were not enough for the two cars.

If they wanted to hire a truck from the town to pull the cars, they would have to wait for at least two hours.
Yet they had no other choice.
It was a lonely and muddy country road among the mountains.
The drivers got out of the cars to check the tires and found many nails, which seemed to have been scattered here on purpose.
Knowing this, Scarlett immediately asked the drivers to get back into the cars, lock the doors and windows, and not to get out.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight was not as strong as before.
The wind rustled the trees next to the road.
It would be scary if someone had an accident while driving alone on this road.
Scarlett had just sat inside the car for a short time when some people came over.
There were seven men aged from about 16 to 30.
They all held an iron bar and encircled the two cars.
The car windows were made of one-way glass. The people outside couldn't see through the windows.

Probably because they couldn't see anyone through the windows, those men hit the windshields with the iron bars and shouted, "Get out!" Scarlett and the others didn't move, but the next second, the windshields were broken.
Scarlett was afraid that they would hurt Rowan. "Grandpa, stay inside the car. I'll get out and take a look." Rowan grabbed Scarlett. "Don’t do that, Scarlett." "Don’t worry, Grandpa. | learned some fighting skills and | brought a taser." People in poor places tended to be vicious. Scarlett had prepared before coming here. She had put a taser in her bag in case of necessity.
"Scarlett!" Those people smashed the iron bars on the cars crazily. Rowan had never been so serious to Scarlett before.
Scarlett said resignedly, "Grandpa, take it easy. | won't be hurt." Rowan's face was still grim.
Scarlett couldn't persuade him. "Grandpa, I'm sorry. Please stay here. | can deal with them." Scarlett pushed open the door and got out of the car.
At the same time, Viviana and Yair also got out of the car. Scarlett was stunned for a moment. "Aunt?"
