Chapter Ninety-Four: A Mudslide Breaks Out in the Valley, and the Three of Them Are Trapped in a Strange Village
Looking inside, Li Guanghan and Lao Xu saw all kinds of old machines, pouring machines, injection molding machines, sand turning machines, and there were pots and jars piled up on the ground. Li Guanghan wondered in his heart, why do you need so many machines in this valley? The owner of this small shop still knows so much about machine operation?
The three of them stood in the store and looked around, but they couldn't see the boss coming out, and they didn't dare to walk around. At the same time, they saw the tire repair device in the corner of the wall, and it seemed that the sign of "pumping up the tire repair" placed by the boss at the door was correct. Lao Xu joked: "I just looked at these words horizontally, and it became 'tire and gas'." Chen Aili thought for a moment and laughed out loud, although she didn't fully understand what "replenishing qi" meant.
Lao Xu and Li Guanghan removed the broken tire from the trunk of the car and pushed it into the corner. At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a repairman hurriedly opened the curtain from the backyard and ran out, staring at them vigilantly. I saw that this man was wearing a faded blue overalls, and the words "Guangming Machinery Factory" were vaguely recognizable on his chest. His gray face was still stained with oil, and his cloudy, yellowed eyes were bloodshot.
Li Guanghan hurriedly explained his intentions, pointed to the broken tire in the corner, and then asked him where there was a small hotel where he could stay overnight, where there was a gas station, and so on.
The middle-aged repairman didn't bother to answer so much, he looked at the tires on the ground, and then at the big jeep outside the door, as if he was a little relaxed, and he said sullenly: "300 yuan to repair the tire." ”
"Huh?! So expensive! Old Xu muttered. But he didn't dare to say it out loud, a clear-eyed person must accept this situation when he sees it, and he has to admit it even if he knows that he will be slaughtered, otherwise, where can he go to repair the fetus in the dark?
The middle-aged repairman held the tool in one hand and stretched out the other, waiting for Lao Xu to pay for it, Lao Xu thought about the stocks with the price limit, and felt that it was worth paying some money.
"Chen Aili" endured all the way, and finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked the middle-aged repairman where there was a toilet? The repairman hesitated for a moment and pointed to the backyard, "That's where the straw curtain is blocked." ”
"Chen Aili" had already learned the toilet here last time she stayed in the warehouse overnight, and with psychological preparation, she couldn't care so much, so she put down her bag and ran in.
After taking the money, the repairman began to repair the tire skillfully and seriously. Li Guanghan and Lao Xu were really hungry and bought a few boxes of instant noodles and ate them. "Chen Aili" walked out of the backyard with a frightened expression on her face. She looked at the repairman, not daring to say anything.
"Lao Pang, are you fucking taking on private work again? When will my sand turner be repaired with me? I'm going to hurry! A big black-faced man suddenly came in with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Lee Kwang Han and them with a very hostile look.
"You've got two parts left for that machine, so you'll have to wait a few more days." The repairman Lao Pang replied without humility or arrogance, and then continued to repair the tires.
The black-faced man scolded and threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it fiercely, glanced at Li Guanghan and them again, and then left disappointed.
"Chen Aili" whispered to Li Guanghan and Lao Xu in English that there was a woman in the backyard room, with sores on her face, bleeding fishy pus and blood, and her hair was scattered, which looked very scary.
Lao Xu replied in English, it's over, it doesn't seem to be a place for people to stay, let's repair the tires and leave quickly.
Lee also felt that there was a strange smell in the village, and the people here were hostile to outsiders.
Lao Pang quickly repaired the tires, helped remove the spare tire, installed the repaired wheels, and checked the tire pressure of the four wheels. Lao Xu was very satisfied.
With the lesson of the last overnight stay in the warehouse, the three of them immediately prepared to drive out of the village overnight.
Suddenly, there was a roar rolling in the valley, mixed with the dull sound of stones crashing, deafening. But the ground didn't shake, so it shouldn't be an earthquake. People rushed out of the room to ask each other. I don't know how so many people gathered on the narrow dirt road at once, and Li Guanghan didn't know where they came from.
Lao Xu impatiently honked the horn to drive away the crowd. The big jeep bumpily opened the dirt road, and finally came to the entrance of the village. The three of them were dumbfounded, and a raging mudslide erupted in the valley. The flood rushed down the hill with mud, sand, stones, and branches, and rushed along the dry ancient channel, washing away the small bridge at the entrance of the village, and making a deafening roar.
This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and Li Guanghan and "Chen Aili" were full of worries, anxious, and exhausted, but they couldn't leave this strange village in the wilderness.
The three of them can only turn around the front of the car and drive back again, but where can they go to spend the night? "Chen Aili" looked up to the sky and sighed, her heart was really broken at this moment, she felt that she was about to go crazy.
Li Guanghan and Lao Xu discussed whether they should go back to the car repair shop, talk to the repairman Lao Pang, and beg him to let us rest for the night.
At this time, the black-faced man met the repairman Lao Pang on the dirt road and asked him, "Are those three people 'strips'?" ”
Lao Pang shook his head affirmatively and said, "No, it's not. ”
"That's here to buy something? Did you hear them ask anything? The black-faced man asked again.
"It's hard to say, I don't see it. But it should be the rich. "Lao Pang is too lazy to say too much. Hearing the words "rich man", the black-faced man's eyes lit up. He squinted at his cigarette and patted Lao Pang on the shoulder.
Lao Xu drove the big jeep back, and this time he didn't dare to honk the horn anymore, for fear of attracting public anger, and he couldn't run. The black-faced man intercepted the big jeep halfway and greeted the three people in the car with a smile on his face. "Hey, brother, I can't leave at night, so let's go to my house for a night. My house is big, there are many rooms, and there is a shower, which is enough to stay. ”
Lao Xu looked at Li Guanghan and "Chen Aili", and the two of them didn't know whether to agree or not. "Chen Aili" knew that the toilet conditions and housing conditions of the car repair shop just now were very poor, and there was a woman with a fishy face. She hadn't taken a shower since last night, and now she was tempted to hear the word shower.
She stabbed Li Guanghan and said, "Or live in his house, anyway, you can beat the bad guys." Li Guanghan nodded, he thought that the car repair shop just now was really uninhabitable.
Lao Xu stretched out his head and asked, "Brother, how much does it cost for us to stay at your house for one night?" ”
"Not a few miles, the three of you have a total of 200 yuan." The black-faced man replied briskly, and patted the car door after speaking.
Led by a black-faced man, the big jeep turned an alley and saw a flat clearing. Two black solid iron doors slowly opened, revealing a larger courtyard inside.
