CHAPTER XXVII
The imagination of the journey is beautiful, and the process is arduous.
The avenue is frank, I am a swift gently passing in the heaven and earth, wading through the mountains and mountains, flying in the wind and rain. This is Li Zhendong's momentary feeling when he first embarked on the journey, facing the green mountains and beautiful waters. However, he underestimated the dilapidated roads of this era, and always measured them by the standards of later generations.
The sight of the endless green hills, the car through the endless mountains, the car is not much faster than the turtle! Li Zhendong and Master Zhao sat in a car, and Zhao Qiang and Lin Huoliang each followed a car. Master Zhao drove very steadily. Drive on mountain roads, don't seek to be fast. Despite this, Li Zhendong still felt that the shaking was too strong. It seriously affected Li Zhendong's mood of watching the scenery outside the car. After the car drove away, the dust raised on the mountain road did not disperse for a long time, and Li Zhendong was worried, can the two cars behind keep up? Master Zhao laughed, how many years has this been open? Li Zhendong thought to himself, this is really the case. In fact, Li Zhendong can be regarded as a first-class master of driving in later generations. Self-driving travel, Tiannan Haibei, where not to go? However, it was a different situation back then.
China's highway construction has been divided into four stages since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The first stage was from the founding of the People's Republic of China to '78, the second stage was from '78 to '85, the third was the '75 period, and the fourth stage was the '85 period. The first expressway in Huaguo was in 88 years, Haishi to Jiading, referred to as Hujia Expressway. In the later generations where Li Zhendong lived, the total mileage of highways in Huaguo was the second in the world. Li Zhendong drove a small car and walked a good road. At this time, Huaguo did not even have a single highway. The winding and rugged mountain roads are not in good condition, and the old-fashioned carts are driven with full loads. If Li Zhendong comes up, I am afraid that he is far inferior to Master Zhao.
Master Zhao drove quietly. Li Zhendong quickly got annoyed. The same mountains, with one or two small streams running through the valley from time to time. There are no pedestrians on the road and no vehicles passing by. Li Zhendong said hello to Master Zhao, curled up in his seat and began to pretend to sleep. This is a trick of Li Zhendong's long-distance travel, in order to pass the boredom of long-distance car rides during the journey, time will pass quickly in half sleep.
When the vehicle brakes slowly and stops at an intersection. Li Zhendong woke up from the haze: "Where are you?" Master Zhao pointed ahead, "There is still a way to reach the county seat of Dongxian County." Because I was in a hurry, this time I took the road directly to the south, and did not take the county seat to which the machinery factory belonged. Li Zhendong jumped out of the car and came out to take a breath. Soon, the two cars behind also drove one after another. Li Zhendong got into the car, "Uncle Zhao, let's find a small shop in the county town in front of you to eat!" It's past noon." Li Zhendong shook his hand again and motioned for him to follow.
This small county town is also not big, and there are not many pedestrians on the road. Master Zhao honked his horn and pedestrians avoided. Soon they came to a bungalow by the street with two small trees at the door. Stopped the car, and all the people in the car got down. Li Zhendong looked at it, and everyone was a little discouraged. Lin Huo's bright white public security uniform has a shallow layer of loess. Fortunately, it was this kind of bump, and no one got motion sickness.
The small shop is right in front of the door, and you can see the three cars from the store. I didn't leave anyone to watch the car, and we poured into the small restaurant together.
The people who walked into the store didn't see anyone for a while, and there were three tables and a few stools in the room. Master Zhao shouted, lifted the curtain from the back room, and a woman in her thirties walked out. Light cloth clothes, black pants, black cloth shoes, slightly chubby with a smile. Master Zhao should be familiar with her, stepped forward and said a few words, the woman turned around and shouted again, and a middle-aged man came out, with an honest face. While talking to Master Zhao, the woman opened the bowl and poured boiling water into it.
Li Zhendong, who was thirsty, didn't care about being clean, so he picked it up and poured it. In my ears, I happened to hear Master Zhao say that all six people would have a five-yuan meal together. Li Zhendong didn't even take a breath, choked and coughed, and came back to breath for a long time, "What? Five bucks? So what can you eat? As soon as this was said, it was not right. All seven people in the room looked at Li Zhendong.
The woman glanced at Li Zhendong and found that it was really strange, as soon as the child spoke, several men who came with him were silent. "This, there are several dishes, and only how much food is counted as a food stamp", Li Zhendong found out that Master Zhao ordered a good, vegetarian and meat dish. The amount is not large, but it is for food. It's just that this is not Li Zhendong's original intention at all, and he said, "Is there much meat and vegetables?" ”
The woman looked at Master Zhao again, she knew this person, he was from a big factory in the next county, and sometimes he came here to eat after passing by, what was going on today? Master Zhao didn't speak, and the woman hesitated for a while, "I have two chickens at home." Li Zhendong was overjoyed, "I want it, hurry up." "A pound costs one yuan octagonal po"
This time, Master Zhao was a little anxious, "Xiaodong, this is a bit expensive, it's only three or four pieces at home" means, don't want it. As long as everyone can eat enough.
Li Zhendong frowned, "Uncle Zhao, we have to run for a long time today, eat well, and be early in the evening!" Lin Huoliang calculated on his fingers, if he eats like this, how many days can his salary last? Zhao Qiang was happy, he really came to the right place.
The food comes up quickly, and it eats faster. Six men, let go of the amount to eat, where is the less? No one will ever get along with themselves. At the very last moment, there was a little incident. Seeing from the shop, there were several people gathered around the car, and before they got up, one person had already climbed up from the back of the car.
Zhao Qiang scolded, and rushed out of the city alone.
Ma Wuyi's gang is a group of green skins in the county who cause trouble everywhere. In the morning, I had a quarrel with a few villagers from the commune below who came to the county seat, and a few people injured people and turned around and ran away. Relying on familiarity with geography, he dodged. When he was running, he took a duck in his hand. This has to eat, naturally, to find a place to do it. Zhang Mingguang in the south of the city is the best, and these people often go to frequent. The problem is that these people spend less time giving money to eat and more time owing money. Zhang Mingguang's small business, how can he withstand such a toss? After asking a few times, Ma Wu flipped the table and smashed the bench, forcing Zhao Mingguang to swallow his anger, and in the end, Ma Wu said again, it's not that the gentlemen don't give money, it's really not enough, if you have money, you will give it as soon as you can, and now you owe it first. Zhang Mingguang knew that there was no way to report to the public security for this trivial matter. Ma Wu's uncle is still a head of the county bureau. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, Zhang Mingguang really thought about closing the shop.
Ma Wu took a few people and walked to the south of the city. From afar, I saw several cars, parked in front of Zhang Mingguang's shop. To be honest, Zhang Mingguang's small hotel has a good location. Vehicles from the south to the north pass through this intersection, and the place is wide, and sometimes they stop here to eat. Ma Wu often deliberately makes trouble and gets a little compensation from others. In short, find a way to get some oil and water from passing cars. In fact, judging from Ma Wu's approach, he is very much like the originator of the car bandit road rage in the past few years. Now I understand the importance of location.
I wandered to the side of the car and saw that it was full of bags. Guapi volunteered to climb up and take a look. At this time, a person rushed out of the store, with a stout figure.
Zhao Qiang tilted his head, "Get down, why do you want to die?" When Ma Wu heard this, his tone was quite loud, and he took two steps, and several people around him also surrounded him. Zhao Qiang pushed away the people who were blocking in front, and someone next to him immediately wanted to make a move. Lin Huoliang also came out at this time, "Stop, what do you want to do?" Lin Huoliang's right hand was already on his waist, and he could see the shape of the gun under his clothes. Seeing a public security officer coming out of the house, Ma Wu looked at it with a smile and blew a whistle at the melon skin in the car. Guapi jumped down, and a few people walked towards the small shop as if no one was around. It seems that there are still scruples about having public security at the scene. At this time, we can't help but sigh at Li Zhendong's foresight. The Commune was asked to send public security officers to accompany him. With the public security in the convoy, it is finally a deterrent to people like Ma Wu. There are still very few people who dare to commit crimes in front of the police with guns. Of course, if there is a serious conflict, a shotgun will be used if the other party is also in possession of a firearm. Zhao Qiang's eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly. Lin Huoliang grabbed him, when he was out of the house, more things were better than less. There's still a rush here. At this time, Master Zhao also walked out, Ma Wu glanced at it, and met a pair of eyes behind the most elixir. Ma Wu swore that he had never seen such a pair of eyes in his life. I have seen the angry eyes of others, I have seen the disgusted eyes of others, and I have seen the frightened eyes of others······ However, these eyes have no emotion. It's like, looking, looking at something, looking down condescendingly.
However, this should be just a small soldier? I'm a human being, not a thing. Ma Wu thought so.
