Under the stabbing glare of the car headlights, what should have been an irritating experience, didn't anger anyone.
People were overjoyed, rushing up to exclaim, "You're back?!"
"The scouts are back!"
"That's great! They're back!"
The atmosphere suddenly livened up, any previous tension instantly swept away, as if nothing had ever happened.
The young man who had been whistling laughed and said, "What's the matter? Did you all think we were dead?!"
"Everyone was worried about you guys. Huh? Why did you change cars?"
"Our car broke down halfway. We found this one on the road, otherwise, we would have been back sooner! But what's going on with you guys? Why are you all outside?"
"The power in the rest station went out!"
"Well then light some candles, there are still plenty of flashlights in the supermarket."
