Chapter Eighty-Five: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

In the blink of an eye, we have been in Erenhot for two days, and everyone is full of energy.

Early in the morning of the third day, before dawn, Leng Xin, Lei Lei and the three of us got up in a hurry, and then near the passenger station, we found a black car that ran a short line, and went directly to a nearby town, and took a taxi from that town, and went to the town next door, just like this little by little, Lei Lei is like a psychotic and paranoid, as long as he sees the police car, he feels like he was arrested, so we are constantly detouring the road, tossing for two days, before we walked out of the territory of Erenhot.

"Oh, I'll go, as soon as I get out of Erenhot, I'm in half of my mood immediately!" On a dilapidated country bus, Lei Lei on the last row of seats looked at the street signs outside the window and was in a good mood.

"You be quiet, people who don't know hear it, what do you think is going on!" Leng Xin on the side scolded Lei Lei, and then looked around with a thief's eyebrows, we all looked a little like a thief in the past two days.

"Lei Lei, what should we do next?" I asked Lei Lei a little worried, when I came, Leng Xin and the two of us added up to more than 3,100 yuan, on the way here, the two of us spent more than 800 yuan on tickets and meals, after receiving Lei Lei, because he couldn't buy tickets with his ID card, plus his little sensitivity, so in the past two days, we basically kept changing taxis, it felt like burning money, I lived so big, or the first time I spent so much money on the road.

"Tsk... How much money do we have left?" Lei Lei asked Leng Xin with a sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute, I'll count!" After Leng Xin finished speaking, he took out a stack of renminbi in his pocket, leaving only a few hundred pieces, and the rest were all change.

'Phew!'

Leng Xin spat on his fingers, and then began to count the money with his hands as fast as flying, I saw his posture, and directly dragged the money over: "You pull it down, I'll count it myself!"

Soon I counted the money, and then looked at the two of them a little confused: "There are more than six hundred dollars left!"

"What's the point?" Leng Xin was also surprised, and then carefully rummaged through his pocket: "Did you lose your money?"

"What kind of money are you throwing, the expenses these days are really quite large!" I recalled, and then turned on the calculator on my mobile phone and calculated it for the two of them: "Let's take a taxi, it will cost two or three hundred on average across a banner county, and after two days, the fare alone will cost more than 1,400 yuan, and the accommodation will cost more than 300 yuan, and it will be good if you can leave these!"

After listening to me, Lei Lei was also a little difficult: "It can't go on like this, it's still seven or eight hundred kilometers away from home, and the more than 600 yuan is not enough for us to stick to home!"

"Fuck! Are you embarrassed to say it? It's not all because of you!" Leng Xin heard that the money was not enough, and she couldn't think of any good way for a while, so she was a little anxious: "It's been two days, and we've only walked more than eighty kilometers in the direction of our home, with an average of sixteen or seventeen yuan per kilometer, which is more expensive than a fucking Land Rover!"

"What are you arguing with me? If you hadn't seen the police, would you think I wanted to take a detour? What's going on with me, don't you know?" Lei Lei choked Leng Xin.

"Okay! Okay! Don't argue!" I quickly interrupted the two of them, then looked at Leng Xin and smiled: "Now Lei Lei is better than anything else, everyone still has to think of a way, how can they go home smoothly!"

"It's a little hard, I can persevere, but I'm really sorry for you!" Leng Xin smiled at me: "Xiaofei, I apologize to you for my brother!"

"What are you talking nonsense!" I raised my hand and interrupted Leng Xin's words: "We are brothers, if you say that, you will see outside!"

"That's it!" Lei Lei also glanced at Leng Xin: "Good people have let you do it, why did you let me carry all the infamy? I don't know that Xiaofei is guilty of it?

"Hey, hey, okay, what crime have I suffered? I'm not muddy, not as fragile as you think!" I saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, so I quickly changed the topic and looked at Leng Xin: "Brother Xin, do you have any good ideas?"

"What can I have in mind...... Lei Lei can't take the train, let's rely on this money, we definitely can't make it to Anyang, and my friends at home have borrowed everything they can borrow......" Leng Xin's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally gradually disappeared.

"I have an idea!" Lei Lei paused for a moment and continued: "In this way, after the train arrives at the terminal station in a while, the two of you will buy two tickets to go home, and then leave the rest of the money to me, and I will find a way to go back by myself!"

"The problem is, our current money is barely enough for the two of us to get train tickets......" Leng Xin reluctantly explained to Lei Lei.

"Then let's do it, you two go back to Anyang directly, I'll find a way to go home by myself, and now I'm out of Erenhot, I can go back by myself!" Lei Lei said undoubtedly.

"You don't talk nonsense!" After Lei Lei finished speaking, I rejected him as soon as I opened my mouth: "The two of us have worked so hard to find you, is it possible to leave you here?"

"Hey, I have a way!" Leng Xin slapped her thigh wittily and looked at the two of us happily: "Otherwise, let's find a place, steal three bicycles, and pedal back to Anyang directly, so that the money we have left is just enough to eat!"

"Pedaling back?" Leng Xin and I looked at each other, and I was a little confused when he said it.

"You can pull JB down, why don't you talk about the whole sampan and float back down the water!" Lei Lei waved his hand irritably: "Big brother, do you know how far this is from Anyang? More than 700 kilometers, more than 1,400 miles! You kick the whole bicycle back, and the basket can grind the pulp for you, do you believe it?"

"If you don't do that, then what do you say?" Leng Xin craned his neck and looked at Lei Lei: "Your basket is valuable, you are afraid of grinding the basket! I'm not afraid, I'm in a hurry, I'm really riding the whole bike back!"

"Brother Xin, don't make trouble, let's ride the whole bicycle 24 hours a day, and you won't be able to get home for a week, besides, can you find the way?!" I also persuaded Leng Xin, I was really afraid that he would come up, and the whole bicycle would go.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say? Do we want to go back?"

"Hoo ......"

Lei Lei sighed, licked his lips and thought for a while: "It's really not good, when we get to the next stop, let's find a way to make some money!"

"We don't know each other well, how can we make money?" I think Lei Lei's idea is not realistic, before coming to Erlian, I was a student, and the only two things that can make money in the short term are one is to fight with Wan Peng in the mine, and the other is to go to Shuiquan with Hu Wei to collect debts, but these two roads will definitely not work in Inner Mongolia, because here, we have no acquaintances at all, even if we can get acquainted slowly, we don't have that time.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later!" After Lei Lei finished speaking, the group of us all fell into deep thought.

After the bus bumped again for more than an hour, it entered a small county, the size of this small county is average, but it is very lively, I listened to the people chatting on the bus to know that this small county is similar to a transit station, running long-distance freight trucks, trailers or something, passing by here will rest, and this side is also the terminal of trains and buses, want to go to other cities, will transfer in this county.

After getting off the bus, we took a taxi directly to the train station, because the environment near the train station is relatively noisy, and there are many black hotels, which are not only cheap, but also relatively safe for Lei Lei's identity.

The railway station of this small county town is in the outermost part of the county, and there is still a considerable distance from the center of the county.

The place we were looking for was an unlicensed black hotel, which was converted into a private house, with six or seven rooms, in order to save money, the three of us opened a big bed room, which was quite simple, except for a bed, there was only a 14-inch old TV, and there were only a few in total.

We didn't go out to eat, so we simply bought three boxes of instant noodles, asked the boss for some hot water, soaked and ate, after eating, Leng Xin sat on the bed and watched TV, which was playing a local station, which was showing the kind of advertisement that deceived the old man and the old lady, and Lei Lei was standing at the window, looking at the train station in a daze.

"Lei Lei, do you think of how to get money?" I walked over and asked, Lei Lei does things without thinking about the consequences, and has always acted recklessly, I am really afraid that he will say it and go to rob or something together.

"No!" Lei Lei shook his head, also quite worried.

"It's really not good, I'll call home again, and say that the living expenses at school are not enough, so let's talk to the family!"

"Forget it! I know the situation at your home, and I've already troubled you a lot this time!" Lei Lei rejected my kindness, thought about it and added: "When is it, don't lie to your family!"

"Hmm......" I nodded, my grandmother was not easy, if it wasn't for the last resort, I would never have thought of lying to her.

When I was talking to Lei Lei, at the exit of the train station, a large number of students suddenly walked out, all of them looked to be in their twenties, each of them was dragging suitcases, they should already be college students, Lei Lei frowned and looked at those students: "Hey! This small county town, and the university?"

"No, this place is a whole university, and it's a fool to come!" I shook my head in disbelief.

Lei Lei looked at those students and suddenly smiled: "Let's go! Go out and ask!"

After Lei Lei and I went out, the bald boss of the hotel was playing with the computer at a small table at the door, Lei Lei walked over, patted the boss on the shoulder, and handed over a cigarette: "Big brother, what about your small county town and university?"

"Haha! You're very interesting!" The boss was amused by Lei Lei: "In our place, you can fart in the east of the city, you can smell it in the west of the city, and the basket is a big place, and there is a chicken feather university!"

"Then why do I look at the train station, which has been full of students for the past two days?" Lei Lei asked curiously.

"Isn't there still three or four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they are all going home on vacation, our side is the terminal, those students who are far away from home, they have to go to the bus stop in the street to reverse, let the bus go home!"

"Ang, thank you!" Lei Lei listened to the boss's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled me and began to go downstairs.
