Fang Guoping drove the Wrangler and set off towards the south of the town at sunset.

In order to save time, neither of them had dinner, but bought some bread and biscuits to take with them in the car, and just deal with them casually.

From Liangcheng to Zhennan, you have to pass through several counties and cities, such as Lute County and Pingzhai County, which belong to Liangcheng, and you also have to pass through Pohang City and Buding County below Pohang City, Pingyuan County and Honghu City, Zhennan's own county-level city.

The most difficult section of the whole road is the section from Liangcheng to Buding County, not only because this section is mainly a provincial road, but more importantly, this section of the road is steep and steep.

From Buding County to Zhennan, it is basically a national highway, and it is relatively gentle, and it is much faster to run.

Hu Mingchen and the two of them had not yet arrived in Lute County, and it was already completely dark. I used to encounter a car on the road from time to time, but now the cars on the road are becoming scarce with the sky.

"I've heard before that on this road, no car dares to run at night. Fang Guoping said with a cigarette in his mouth and one hand on the window frame.

In the summer, when the car window is opened and the cool breeze blows in, the whole person will look much more energetic.

"Why? Just because the road is not easy to walk?" Hu Mingchen sat in the co-pilot, simply put both hands on the window frame, and leaned his head on his hands to blow the wind.

"Hehe, what's the matter if the road is not good, the driver on our side, when is the road easy to walk. The point is that there are many car bandits on this road. However, a few years ago, it was much better after a few crackdowns. At that time, as long as it was dark, all the township gas stations were parked with passing cars, especially foreign cars, that is, they would rather pay the parking fee to the gas station than leave, and wait for the dawn to go with a few cars. Fang Guoping shook his head and said.

"Of course, spend some money to buy peace, who wants to take the risk of being robbed, once robbed, the loss will be much greater. However, this is also a reflection of our backwardness in poverty. Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this sentence has been said for thousands of years, but it is not in vain. Hu Mingchen sat up, leaned back in his chair and said.

"In the past, young people had no way out, but now young people can go out to work, but in fact, few people are really willing to do that illegal thing. ”

"That's the same, so it's still necessary to solve the problem of employment and the way to make money. ”

Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping chatted all the way, and when the car arrived in Lute County, they stopped to refuel and went to the toilet by the way.

Pingzhai County is relatively close to Lute County, and it takes forty or fifty minutes to drive from Lute County.

Pingzhai County is a small county in Liangcheng, with a population of less than 300,000 and a county population of nearly 50,000.

The Wrangler drove out of Lut County for more than 20 minutes, which was a difficult area with high mountains and dangerous roads, and it was even more dangerous to pass through a place called Ergong Pass, with several steep slopes and sharp bends of nearly 180 degrees in a row. And there is only one small village called Ninomiya Village in this mountainous area, which is relatively sparsely populated.

Fang Guoping slowed down the car, held the steering wheel with both hands, and carefully looked for a normal driving road in the dark night.

When their car came out of a sharp bend, Fang Guoping immediately braked.

"It's over, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while. ”

Hu Mingchen also found out about the situation, "I guess it's true." ”

It turned out that in front of them, there was a large truck in the middle of the road, and there was a man lying under the car and moving around.

Fang Guoping parked the car six or seven meters away from the car: "You sit in the car, I'll go up and see what's going on." ”

"Don't you think it's safer for me to go with you?" Hu Mingchen opened the co-pilot's doorway.

Fang Guoping thought about it for a while, so he nodded.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Fang Guoping squatted down and asked.

The man under the car climbed out from under the car: "Bad luck, there is a problem with the brakes, you estimate that you will not be able to walk in a short time, I advise you, either go back to Lut to stay for one night, or regret Lut to take a detour." ”

"If you take a detour, you can only take Bianyin County, and the distance is seventy or eighty kilometers more. Fang Guoping said.

"Eighty-five kilometers more, almost two hours away. The driver of the cart said.

He has been running these roads for many years and is familiar with these routes.

"Master, can't you fix it now? We have to go back to Lute, and it's not two hours, it's three hours. Hu Mingchen said.

"I can't help it, I can't figure it out, I'll have to find someone to come tomorrow during the day, I don't have all the tools, and I don't have parts. The master wiped his body with his oil-stained hands.

"Then let's take you to the county town of Rut, and find a car repair shop master, maybe some repair shops are not closed yet." Hu Mingchen saw the embarrassed appearance of the truck driver, and he couldn't bear it, as if he was helping him.

"That's it, that's a good feeling, that's how I ...... Your car....... I'm afraid I'll get dirty. The big car master pointed to his clothes, and then pointed to Hu Mingchen's car, and said a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, what's there, it's dirty if it's dirty, it's dirty, it's okay to wash it. Hu Mingchen said indifferently.

"Let's go, if it's too late, you might really not find anyone. When the driver looked at him, Fang Guoping followed.

Fang Guoping is Hu Mingchen's driver, and when Hu Mingchen has already made up his mind, it is impossible for him to have a second word.

The truck driver followed Hu Mingchen and their wrangler with thanks, and after reversing and making a U-turn, they returned to the county seat of Lot.

It's just that now many car repair shops and repair shops in the county have closed their doors, and they have spared two laps in the county town before they find a repair shop with lights on in the alley opposite the county bus station.

As soon as he heard that he had gone outside the city overnight to repair the car, the owner of the garage shook his head.

"It's so far, on the pass of the second palace, if you can't get it all night, it's an all-nighter, so you better ask others. ”

"Boss, you can help, I just have a broken brake, you go for a trip, it will be done in an hour, and it won't be too delayed." The truck driver pleaded.

"I really don't want to go, the workers are all gone, and it's not safe at night in that place, so you'd better find someone else." The car repair boss continued to refuse.

"It's not safe now, I often walk this road, you can go and help fix it, I'll give you more money." In order to solve the trouble as soon as possible, the truck driver gritted his teeth and said.

"Then can you give a lot more?" Hearing that he was willing to give more money, the attitude of the car repair boss suddenly softened.

In these days, those who open their doors to do business are all for money, and who wants to live with money. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, this sentence is more practical today.

"I'll give five hundred more. The truck driver touched his pocket and gritted his teeth.

"One thousand more, you just talked about the situation of your car, it will cost one thousand just to repair the car, and another thousand more, a total of two thousand, I will go, or you will find someone else." "The car repair boss has a big appetite.

This guy is a bit of a danger to others, but there are not many people who don't take advantage of others these days. Since they came to find someone to repair the car at night, and the truck broke down on the road outside the city, of course the boss had to seize this opportunity to open his mouth.

In the eyes of these car repair bosses, the car drivers are also rich people, a car is hundreds of thousands, ordinary people can't afford it, even if the car is not their own, drive for the boss, the car repair can also be reimbursed. In addition, the unit price of repairing large cars is often high, so the most favorite thing for car repair shops to do is the business of large cars, in contrast, small cars are not easy to have problems, even if there is a problem, as long as the car is not too good, the problem is too serious, usually the price is not very expensive. Of course, if it's too good, people won't put it in a miscellaneous store like theirs to fix it.

"Boss, I only have one thousand and a half on me, you can do me a favor, this time I went out, the money was all stocked, and there was not much left. The truck driver said with a bitter face.

"Two thousand, whatever you want. "The owner of the garage has the arrogance of a strange thing.

"Okay, I'll help him get out of the five hundred, pack up the tools and go. Hu Mingchen couldn't help but say.

Hu Mingchen is really unwilling to be slaughtered by this kind of person, but now it is difficult to find another master, so he simply does it to the end and admits it.

"Really, that's a good deal, two thousand. As soon as he heard that Hu Mingchen was willing to give the five hundred, the car repair boss suddenly became excited.

"Yes, yes, it's two thousand. Hu Mingchen said impatiently.

"Okay, then you guys wait, I'll move the tools into the pickup truck. ”

These car repairers, in order to receive orders on the road, they will either prepare a pickup truck or get a van to load tools and equipment, such as air compressors, such as large jacks, such as various tool parts, and even all kinds of engine oil.

Hu Mingchen and the others waited for about ten minutes, and the boss packed the things, closed the door of the store, and followed Hu Mingchen and them in a pickup truck.

"Thank you so much, you have helped and paid for it, I really don't want to go, where are you in Liangcheng, I will send you the money when the time comes." In the car, the truck driver was embarrassed and moved.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few hundred dollars, it's a small matter, don't take it to heart. When you go out all year round, who will not have a difficult time. Hu Mingchen waved his hand.

Hu Mingchen either doesn't help, and if he helps, he won't want to get anything in return, anyway, five hundred yuan is not much.

After arriving at the location, the driver climbed under the truck to see the situation, which was indeed similar to what the truck driver said, and it did not take much effort.

With the help of Hu Mingchen's Wrangler's headlights, plus the help of the truck driver, it only took about 50 minutes, and after replacing two parts, the car was repaired.

"Okay, the car is ready, you can drive away, this brake, there will be no problem for thousands of kilometers this time, give money." The mechanic wiped his hands with paper and stretched out his hand proudly.
