Chapter 104: A Difficult Long Journey

A long convoy of dump trucks, in the open wilderness, on the winding paths, moving at turtle speed, and the occasional situation of the car slowed down the speed of travel. When a car has a broken tire, all the cars are stopped, and a few people help to change the tires before moving forward; Soon, a car didn't know what was wrong and couldn't go, Li Hao asked Zhao Jian to take off the tow rope and drag it on; A car ran out of gas, from the towed car fuel tank to pull out barrels of diesel, add to the car fuel tank without gas, and then move forward, just stop and go, stop and go, at the beginning of the car every time she stopped, she and Li Hao ran down together, even if she didn't do it, but also with her own actions to support, and then it was getting later and later, when Li Hao stopped the car again, she no longer knew, at more than three o'clock in the night, still did not get out of this 80-kilometer dirt road. In the haze, I heard Zhao Jian say to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, there are too many things about these cars, it seems that it will take a long time to go out, the brothers are hungry, isn't there a small village and town in front?" It shouldn't be far from here, so why don't you go buy something and bring it back for your brothers? ”

Li Hao said: "Okay, I'll drive the car first, you drive slowly, and I'll come back when I buy food." ”

Yang Qianxun felt the pickup accelerate in a haze, and when he opened his eyes to see outside, the pickup truck had surpassed all the dump trucks and drove forward quickly. I passed through the outside of this small village every time, but never entered the town. The two drove into the town, turning one road after another under the street lamp, there was really a light reflected in the commissary, Yang Qianxun got out of the car, and patted the door of the commissary vigorously, for a long time, a man's voice came out: "Who?" It's so late, what's the matter? ”

"Boss, boss, please help, open the door, we came down from the mine, too hungry to buy something to eat."

"Wait a minute."

A few minutes later, the door of the small shop opened, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun walked in the door, saw that there was still a lot of food inside, and asked him first: "Boss, do you have hot water, let's make a bowl of instant noodles first." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Yes." Yang Qianxun quickly took down two bowls of Master Kong's braised beef noodles from the shelf, soaked a bowl for Li Hao and himself, and felt that he still wanted to eat after eating, opened a box of cakes, took a piece for himself, and then handed it to Li Hao. Li Hao called Zhao Jian's phone: "Captain Zhao, where have you been?" ”

"Two cars have reached the edge of town, but the three cars pulling behind them can't go fast, and they are still far away."

"We've bought something to eat, and we'll be back to you soon." Li Hao hung up the phone, and the car sped up and returned the same way.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of the town, he had already seen two dump trucks parked on the side of the road, Li Hao went over with food, knocked on the door one by one, woke up the driver, and gave them food. Then he drove forward, about ten kilometers away, and finally saw the car being towed, a total of four cars, still moving forward at a turtle speed, Li Hao pressed the horn of the pickup truck, and then stopped directly opposite them, went down with things, and each car shared the food. After coming back, he told Yang Qianxun, "The trailer rope behind is broken, and Zhao Jian and He Ping walked back to deliver the rope." Let's go further and open the card and find them. ”

"These more than 80 kilometers of dirt roads have fully tested the current situation of these cars, and anyone with such a car can only be sad!" Li Hao said again.

Yang Qianxun didn't speak, she was tired from the bumps and fatigue of a day and a night, nesting in the passenger seat, looking like she could drive anywhere, her eyes were blurred, and she was half asleep. Li Hao looked at Yang Qianxun's appearance, and stopped talking, the light of the dump truck headlights shone far away, the car was still parked on the side of the road, Zhao Jian, He Ping and another driver were changing the rope of the trailer, Li Hao stood beside them, watched them finish, and then handed the food to Zhao Jian, and then said to him: "The two cars in front have been parked on the edge of the town, you drive over and stop to rest, and when it is dawn, find a repair shop in the town first, repair it, and let the car go out first." We'll wait for you in the town until dawn. ”

Driving the pickup truck back to the town, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun discussed, "Let's find a hotel, put ourselves flat, and rest first, it's really unbearable." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "There are still three or four hours until eight o'clock, what kind of hotel do you stay in?" ”

Li Hao said: "I'm too tired, aren't you tired?" It's better to open a room and rest. ”

The two drove around a few roads, and finally saw a small hotel, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun walked into a room together, a strong smell of stinky feet immediately entered Yang Qianxun's nostrils, she didn't even think about running out of the door immediately, she didn't want to go in again, how Li Hao pulled her and didn't go in, Li Hao said funny: "Are you going to stand at the door and be the door god?" ”

Yang Qianxun finally said: "You don't dislike the smell in the room, just sleep here, give me the car keys, and I'll sit in the car and sleep." ”

Li Hao said: "It's not safe for you to be alone in the car. ”

"It's okay, I opened the car door, and when I went up, I locked it inside." Li Hao couldn't persuade her, and he was really tired, so he stopped insisting and gave her the key. Yang Qianxun took the key to the pickup truck, walked to the door of the hotel, opened the door, adjusted the seat, and began to sleep, but he couldn't sleep at all, so he sat in the car, looking at the surrounding scenery and the occasional driving vehicle.

Unconsciously, she still fell asleep, feeling very cold in a daze, Yang Qianxun turned on the heating in the car again, and continued to sleep until Li Hao woke her up.

"Let's drive to find out if there is a repair shop in this town, and then let all the cars go to the repair shop after we find it, and then have breakfast."

After a few turns, they couldn't find it, and they drove to the edge of the town where the dump truck had parked, and there was a repair shop with a large yard right on the side of the road. The two drove in and said hello to the owner of the repair shop, and came back to wake up the drivers in the car, and it took a long time to finally drive all the cars into the parking lot.

After another day of tossing and turning in the town, the car finally arrived at Huatugou that night. It is necessary to carry out another comprehensive renovation of the car in Huatugou to make sure that there is no problem, and then drive to the Muli Coal Mine.

On the afternoon of the second day to Huatugou, Boss Yang arranged for the person who signed the contract with them to arrive, Yang Qianxun watched the car maintenance in the repair shop, Li Hao went to the place designated by the other party alone, and quickly returned to the repair shop with the signed contract and handed it to Yang Qianxun. Yang Qianxun took the contract and sighed in his heart, when will this helpless and meaningless rush be the head?

Five days later, the Honghao logistics team began their third journey of nearly 1,000 kilometers since they raised dump trucks, but this time, it was more difficult than the last two times, and it cost more than 30,000 yuan to repair the car in Huatugou. Because he was worried that there would be traffic police checking the car, Li Hao chose to go on the road in the evening. At seven o'clock in the evening, ten cars drove out of the flower ditch, and there were some small faults on the road from time to time, which were solved by the drivers, but at dawn, a tire of a car flew out in the process of moving forward, Li Hao received a call from Zhao Jian in front, stopped the car, and also called to stop the car behind him, Yang Qianxun also got out of the car, when he walked back, he saw that the driver had just chased the wheel that had been pulled far away, several drivers got out of the car to change the tires, Li Hao said to Zhao Jian: "It's dawn, It doesn't seem far from the town in the distance, you install the tires first, let the brothers rest, and we will drive the pickup truck to the town to buy breakfast and come back. ”

Zhao Jian said: "Okay, even if you don't say it, as long as you don't leave, they will already fall asleep in the car." ”

Li Hao walked back to the pickup truck, drove to a nearby town with Yang Qianxun, found a breakfast shop, after the two of them finished eating, each bought another one, and took it back to the side of the road where they parked, all the cars were parked quietly, and the drivers fell asleep after a night of driving. Yang Qianxun was holding the breakfast in a plastic bag, and one car after another knocked on the door, waking up the drivers and handing them the breakfast.

After breakfast, I continued to hurry, walked for a day, and in the early morning of the same day, I passed a winding road on a mountain and saw the light of the bright street lamps on the streets of Tianjun County.

The cars all drove into Tianjun County, found a mutton restaurant on the side of the road nearby, let the drivers have a good meal, and then let the drivers sleep in the car until five o'clock. Yang Qianxun and Li Hao couldn't sleep yet, and a dump truck was towed from halfway to Tianjun County, which had to be repaired before entering the Muli Coal Mine. Li Hao and Yang Qianxun drove a pickup truck, knocking on the door of the repair shop one by one, because it was too late, knocked on several before knocking on one, called Zhao Jian to find a driver to drag the broken car to the door of the repair shop, they were still sleeping in the car, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun took turns to watch the repair shop owner repair the car, until dawn, they gathered the drivers and drove on the road from Tianjun to Muli.

At noon the next day, under the welcome of heavy snow and the welcome song of the cold wind, the car drove to Muli Mine and was warmly received by Boss Yang and others.

This long journey, they lasted three days and three nights, more than 70 hours, plus six days of car maintenance, ten days, and this is how it passed.

Due to moving around, when I arrived in the wood, I encountered a heavy snowstorm, when unloading the car, the dormitory door was full of puddles formed after the snow melted, and many drivers' bedding fell into the muddy water under their feet, stepping on a mess, and several bed boards were also laid on the muddy ground by the drivers who did not have mercy, becoming the floor for stepping on, and other things damaged could not be calculated, Yang Qianxun looked at the scene of unloading the car helplessly, and there was a desperate attempt to break the jar in her heart, she faced the scene in front of her with silent silence, I no longer have any hope for the work here and the classic car that I just bought for half a year.

After two days of arrangement and repair, the food and accommodation were finally arranged, and at the same time, another round of new difficulties awaited them in front, in Yang Qianxun's words, it was a hopeless beginning, and what must be accepted in the end was a tragic end.
