86_86324The weight of six people pressed on the three-wheeled motorcycle, so that the motorcycle could not increase its speed. Although the wheels of the car rotate slowly, the roar of the engine is not small.

After driving away from the concrete dam, the motorcycle slowly turned onto the national highway. The vibration of the engine caused a slight numbness under my feet. The three-wheeled motorcycle cargo box is designed with a platform for people to sit on, but the number of people on board is not designed to be able to ride five people. The five people sitting in the cargo box were crowded face to face, and there was no extra space to move their bodies. Zhou Zhihong and Wu Linyu sat opposite me. I sat at the back of the container, and Duan Ke and Chen Lishan sat in my row.

It was so crowded that one of my feet even swinged out of the car. But I was quite satisfied, because the large bag on my back had been unloaded and placed in the middle of the container, and there was no more force to weigh on me.

Chen Lishan took out her camera again and recorded all the way with the speed of the tricycle.

A downhill stretch slows down the tuk-wheeler. The sudden cold wind instantly poured into our necks, and everyone hurriedly tightened their necks and stood up their sleeves, trying to block the cold wind from invading our bodies. While keeping out the cold, I didn't forget to look at Uncle Wang, he should be the one who blows the most wind. Uncle Wang leaned over, stood his head, and pinched the grip of the car faucet with both hands.

Needless to say, the oncoming wind would all slap on his face, and it would be cold just thinking about it. Uncle Wang is already a certain age, not to mention other aspects, just looking at the resistance, he will definitely not be as good as a few young people in the container. If Uncle Wang is blown out of the problem by this wind, it will not only be a very troublesome thing, but we will also be unable to get over it.

"Where's that helmet?" I cleared my throat and asked Wu Linyu.

"Helmet?" Wu Linyu reacted for a while, and then pointed to the camouflage backpack, "It's in the bag." ”

"Find out quickly." I told him, and then turned around and told Uncle Wang to stop the car.

I think it would be better to take a helmet for Uncle Wang to wear, although the helmet issued by the army does not have the wind-blocking performance of a motorcycle helmet, but at least it will play a www.biquge.info role.

Uncle Wang obediently pulled the motorcycle to the right side of the road and stopped. He turned to me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Sure enough, Uncle Wang's chapped lips were already a little purple. It seems that I really have to get some measures for Uncle Wang. As long as this person reaches a certain age, no matter how tough he usually looks, sometimes a small problem can cause a serious illness. My grandfather used to be like that.

I replied, "It's okay, I just want to ask if you're cold." ”

Uncle Wang took off the glove on his right hand, took a breath of hot air out of his mouth, wiped it on his face and said, "A little." ”

"So, you wait for me to smoke, and I'll rest for a while." Uncle Wang turned around and continued, feeling out the cigarette as he spoke.

Looking at his back, I was a little moved.

Wu Linyu took out the helmet from his backpack, and said to Uncle Wang: "Senior, if it's cold, just replace me, you come and sit in the back." ”

Uncle Wang threw two cigarettes at us, and Wu Linyu quickly covered them with the helmet in his hand. Uncle Wang lit a cigarette and said, "No, and you have a problem with your legs, you will have problems sitting in this position for a long time." ”

I pulled out two cigarettes from my helmet, then took them and said, "Okay, then you can put this helmet on, it might be warmer." ”

Uncle Wang looked carefully at the helmet in my hand, he spat out his cigarette, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, yes, I haven't worn a steel helmet of the People's Liberation Army for decades." ”

I took the helmet to Chen Lishan and asked her to hand it to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang took the helmet with some excitement, stroked the camouflage cover of the helmet, then put the cigarette in his mouth, raised the helmet with both hands and put it on.

With both hands straightened on the helmet above his head, Uncle Wang narrowed his eyes and smiled at us. Seeing that he was smiling, I grinned too. Don't look at Uncle Wang's silence all day long, look at his honest smile, maybe he was a lively and cheerful little soldier when he was in the army before.

After that, Chen Lishan pulled out a scarf from her bag and asked Uncle Wang to wrap it around. Uncle Wang looked at the fancy scarf, and he didn't refuse, just pulled the collar of the jacket and wrapped it around his neck. Maybe he's a little cold.

With several colors, like a rainbow scarf, wrapped around Uncle Wang's neck, there is an indescribable grotesqueness. Duan Ke couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh a few times. Smile and smile, as long as his old man feels warm.

After Uncle Wang finished smoking, he started the motorcycle again.

The road was very smooth, and Uncle Wang also let the motorcycle move forward at a constant speed. After about ten minutes' drive, the three-wheeled motorcycle drove up to a fork in the road. It is said to be a fork in the road, but in fact, there is an extra road on the left side of the road. I don't know if I should go left or continue to walk straight ahead to get to the city. Uncle Wang slowed down and looked up at the street sign above his head.

The road on the left, called Jianshe Boulevard, is part of National Highway 318. The one on the right, called Qifeng Avenue, leads to the urban area of Enshi. Then we naturally choose the right path.

Uncle Wang also understood the situation on the road sign clearly, so the car turned around and drove towards Qifeng Avenue in front. A gas station suddenly appeared on the side of the road, and Uncle Wang turned his head to look at it, then turned the car towards the gas station. I looked up at the top of the gas station, and there was a lot of dust on the white and red background of "Sinopec", which I knew at a glance that it had accumulated over the years. At the gas station, three cars were parked in front of the gas station, waiting to be refueled. Seeing this, I was a little excited, and I wondered if I could change the car.

Uncle Wang drove the three-wheeled motorcycle to the car, slowed down, and looked over one by one. Unfortunately, all three cars were empty, and not even a single dead man could be seen. It seems that the owner of the car is not in the car, and we naturally can't find the key, so Uncle Wang had to drive the tricycle and walked out of the gas station with some disappointment.

At the beginning of this road, there are more buildings on both sides of the national highway, and there is a feeling of urban-rural junction. What kind of small hotels, farm stays, and advertisements printed on private houses keep catching my eyes. What I see the most is the large stone piles in front of some buildings, probably because the stone mining industry is relatively developed nearby.

A more intuitive feeling is that there is a rancid smell filling the nasal passages. Like the cities I've been to before, it's supposed to be night when the virus crosses. Therefore, there are basically no dead people in sight on the streets, and more corpses are inside the buildings, and the stench emitted by them proves their existence.

There must have been no cars on the road for a long time, and after a few rains, the road surface was a little clean and not like the national highways that I had seen on weekdays. But every few meters there are cracks or potholes on the road, which must have been ravaged by overloaded trucks before.

This road is built along a river, and there is a lot of farmland along the river. Under the gray sky, the field of vision is quite open, except for the river flowing quietly beside the gravel, the surrounding qiē is basically stationary.

"Do you think there will be anyone in this city?" Zhou Zhihong looked at the car repair shop with the roller shutter door on the side of the road and asked us. Although the garage was closed, there was still a pickup truck on the dam that could be repaired in the future, and the front wheel was removed.

"It's not even in town." I looked at a sign on the side of the road and replied that it read, "Everyone participates in city management, everyone benefits from a better environment."

"Absolutely." Wu Linyu moved his arm and said.

At this moment, a railway bridge appeared in our field of vision, crossing over the national highway, causing us to look up. When I saw the railway, I came up with another idea: if the national highway is not open one day, we can walk along the railway, and there will be no traffic jam on it. However, the road surface on the railway should not be too wide, and I am afraid that only two-wheeled motorcycles can pass on it.

"Don't run into another group of bandits, wielding knives and guns at us." Zhou Zhihong pouted.

"How can you say they're bandits?" I answered, Zhou Zhihong must be talking about Foreman Li.

"There are still many good people to believe." Chen Lishan put down the camera and joined the conversation. She must also know that Zhou Zhihong is talking about Liu Wei.

After the three-wheeled motorcycle drove over the railway bridge, there were suddenly a lot of construction vehicles on both sides of the road. Yellow-painted excavators, bulldozers, cranes, or other construction vehicles whose name I can't name are parked neatly on both sides of the road. Most of the shops on this road are auto repair and auto parts shops, so there must be some stone mining site nearby.

In addition to all kinds of excavators, there are also many civilian vehicles mixed in. But Uncle Wang didn't stop to check those cars, probably because he thought it was too troublesome, and he just had a three-wheeled motorcycle to get around.

"Chen Lishan," I asked her, "didn't you say that you lived in this city, so do you know how far the city is?" ”

Chen Lishan shrugged and said, "I came here from the highway and have never been here at all. ”

"By the way, why don't we take the highway?" Chen Lishan didn't ask Uncle Wang, but Uncle Wang ignored her.

"Because the highway is full of cars, don't you know?" Duan Ke answered.

"I don't know." Chen Lishan shook her head and said, "What are I doing on the highway if I have nothing to do." ”

"Aren't the rumors saying it's safe to go west, and you didn't follow the highway and run?" I asked her.

"No, I only heard my friend mention it, and my parents didn't want to leave, so I had to stay at home."

"At the time, I thought it would be the same as *, as long as I stayed at home, the trouble would pass, but as a result, I woke up and there was nothing." Chen Lishan turned her head and continued.

Duan Ke lowered his head and played with his hair, and whispered, "You are better than me, I haven't been home yet." ”

The two girls suddenly got into this kind of conversation, and the three of us men didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, you still have him." Chen Lishan pointed at me and said, "By the way, how did you two meet?" ”

"It's on the highway." Duan Ke looked up and said.

"Highway?" Chen Lishan asked with some disbelieving.

I saw two unfinished buildings in view, and neat street trees appeared on the side of the street, and I wondered if I had stepped into the city limits.

"yes, the highway." Duan Ke nodded.

"It's the first time I've heard of such an encounter." Chen Lishan said with some amusement.

Wu Linyu rubbed my foot against me and said, "Tell me about it." ”

"There's nothing to talk about." I looked behind me and smiled.

At this time, the three-wheeled motorcycle suddenly stopped. We turned our heads to look forward, and Uncle Wang waved his arm a few times and made a silent gesture to us
