Chapter 14: I'm Good at Running
The sky is about to be dusk, and this smoke road that is "seven or eight miles" in the mouth of the companions is almost finished when it reaches dusk.
The team stopped to recuperate and change shifts again. The people who had been driving the car for a day at the bottom returned to the grain cart to rest, and waited until tomorrow morning to change it again.
Bai Ling jumped out of the car and sat with Li Yiru and Mu Cheng, who were already sitting on the side of the car.
Li Yiru's ears were stuffed with cotton, and his face seemed to be worse than during the day.
"Does it work, this?" Bai Ling pointed to his ear.
Li Yiru shook his head.
"It usually works," the boy sighed weakly, "but it's so noisy, especially at noon, and I have a headache right now." β
ββ¦β¦ What do you hear? β
"I don't know how to say it...... Li Yiru hugged his arms with both hands, "Ah, it's uncomfortable just thinking about it." β
"It doesn't smell right." Mu Cheng said softly on the side, "It's not crop straw, it's like quarrying and smelting." β
"I also hear people talking about this during the day."
Bai Ling repeated the conversation he had heard.
"Yes, it makes sense." Mu Cheng looked in the direction of the tail of the grain team, "I'm also wondering today, this road is coming down...... We didn't meet any other pedestrians along the way. Although the number of businessmen traveling between Huizhou and Jiangzhou has decreased in recent years, it is not impossible to meet one person. β
"Ah......" Li Yiru fell to the ground with the dry food in his hand, and he covered his ears with both hands, "It's going to start again!" β
"What's starting again?"
"The voice." Li Yiru bent down.
Bai Ling and Mu Cheng held their breath and listened intently to the distant soundsβbut all around them were torches burning, horses neighing, and people laughing......
Other than that, Bai Ling and Mu Cheng didn't hear anything.
Just when Bai Ling and Mu Cheng were a little at a loss, three sturdy young men stood in front of them.
Mu Cheng raised his head and looked at the three of them, "...... are you?" β
"Lao Xu shouted to you to come over," one of them raised his thumb and pointed in the direction of the back of the car, "change us here!" Hurry up! β
Mu Cheng glanced at them in the direction, "Where is Lao Xu?" β
"The last car!" The tone of the person who came was not very polite, "Where else can I be, hasn't Lao Xu been staring at the back?" β
Mu Cheng nodded, "Don't worry about it for a while, wait until we finish eating what we have-"
Before he finished speaking, several people had already noticed Li Yiru who was squatting on the ground.
"Why did I talk to you, you covered your ears?" The young man's anger rushed up, "Tell you to go over now!" Can't understand people? β
Li Yiru was about to reluctantly stand up, but the opposite side had already kicked over, and the young man instinctively blocked the door with his hand - but the opposite side did not settle down.
He opened his eyes hesitantly, and saw that Mu Cheng had already lifted the man's back collar with one hand, and carried him to the side like a rabbit.
The young man hanging in mid-air kicked his feet in vain, and bewildered a string of "eh, eh, ehββ? β
"Don't be so angry when you go out." Mu Cheng threw him on the ground with a cold face, and then clapped his hands, "You still have to be polite to people." β
Li Yiru breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can you go?" Bai Ling looked at Li Yiru.
"Yes." Li Yiru nodded, "I feel like my voice is a little softer now." β
The three of them walked together to the end of the food team.
"You should get in the car and rest when you get to the back of the car in a while," Mu Cheng hugged Li Yiru's shoulder, "Get through this section, and when you get to Jiangzhou, you can find a secluded place." β
"Hmm." Li Yiru nodded, "Thank you, Brother Mu." β
"You're welcome."
From time to time, Bai Ling looked back, and the three young men were already seated in their previous positions.
"It seems that this old Xu has quite a lot of weight in his words," Bai Ling said softly, "If you get close to the people below, you can also talk to the dart head." β
"Hmm." Mu Cheng responded, "Let's be careful." β
Bai Ling glanced at Mu Cheng again, "In other words, like the situation at the city gate last night, if Lao Xu didn't save us, would Brother Mu be sure to break through?" β
"It's hard to say." Mu Cheng looked ahead and said in a low voice, "If it's just me, maybe it's okay, but if it drags on for a long time, it's ......."
"What if that happens again today...... You two can run on your own," Li Yiru said with difficulty, "It's okay if I'm arrested by the government...... At most...... Go home and get beaten. β
"Let's not mention this yet," Mu Cheng's gaze crossed Li Yiru and looked at Bai Ling, "What about you?" β
"I can't beat it," said Bai Ling softly, "and the walls are full of spearmen and archers...... I'm not very good at dealing with that. β
"And what are you good at?"
"I'm better at running." "I'm good at both short and long distances. β
The pale Li Yiru laughed.
They quickly found where Lao Xu was - not at the back of the line, but in the fourth and fifth cars from the bottom.
As night falls, the moon rises in the east.
The moon travels through the clouds, and the earth flickers and darkens.
The convoy moved forward for about half an hour, and Lao Xu took advantage of the time when the grain team was drawing water, and led a team of seven people to check the situation of the last ten grain trucks.
When the grain team set off again in the night, Lao Xu disappeared.
The one in the middle thought he was at the end, the last thought he was still ahead, and in the dim torches no one noticed that some of his companions had disappeared completely.
The three of Bai Ling were following Lao Xu and his companions all the way to the east at this moment.
Gradually, they heard some noisesβlike hammers smashing into an iron cone, but that didn't seem to be the cause of Li Yiru's pain.
The smoke and dust became heavier and heavier, and Lao Xu stopped on the way and distributed the wet cloth cover to everyone.
Everyone listened to Lao Xu's command and stopped on the way forward.
Along the way, Li Yiru and Mu Cheng understood what Bai Ling's "good at running" meant.
The voice that had tormented the boy in agony as soon as it appeared disappeared for a long time, and whenever it reappeared, Bai Ling ran forward with Li Yiru on his back.
During this period, Mu Cheng alternated with Bai Ling several times, but finally gave up, he is not an endurance player, in this environment full of smoke and dust, the consumption caused by running for a long time with weight is almost visible to the naked eye.
But Bai Ling ran until now, although he was also sweating profusely, his breath had never been chaotic.
"Songqing...... You can put me down. Li Yiru whispered on Bai Ling's back.
"Is that voice gone?" Bai Ling asked.
"No...... But I think ...... It doesn't sound as ...... as it used to be It's uncomfortable. Li Yiru said in a low voice, "I should ...... now I can keep up with you. β
"Then you can recharge your strength for a while." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "I don't know what Lao Xu wants us to do for a while, you recharge your energy, just in case." β
