Chapter 39: Crisis

There was standing water on the road, and the dirt road was already soaked and rotten, so the speed slowed down significantly. One of the big trucks had the most loads and was moving very slowly.

The stop-and-go turtle moved forward at a rapid pace, and when it reached the territory of J Province, the eldest family let out a sigh of relief. This means that you are close to your destination.

What's even more gratifying is that the leaders of the town sent someone to respond, which is indeed very timely. Some drivers are already very tired of driving, and now they can change people and immediately give up their positions. Another person who came this time was Lu Jinzhi's acquaintance - Liu Zhonghua.

The only bad news is that the rain is starting to fall again. The leader arranged a small car to send some drivers away first, so that they could go back to report a message first, and the new driver was responsible for delivering the goods safely to the machinery factory.

Lu Jinzhi meant that he hoped that Tong Yan would follow those drivers first, Tong Yan was naturally unwilling, although he was also very tired, but Tong Yan knew that Lu Jinzhi was even more tired, and he was trying his best to coordinate the opinions of all parties along the way, arrange the next day's itinerary, pay attention to the safety of the goods, and he didn't sleep well for a few days, and his eyes were bloodshot. Tong Yan insisted on not leaving, Lu Jinzhi had no choice but to go with her, and another is that Lu Jinzhi didn't want Tong Yan to mix with a group of big men, but he was worried that Tong Yan was too tired, so he proposed that Tong Yan go first.

Tong Yan counted the days and estimated that there would be two days at most. Lu Jinzhi's proposal: Anyway, the rain is heavy, and the road is slow, so simply overhaul the vehicle, and then drive back to Lin'an Town in one go.

Liu Zhonghua arranged for the new driver to overhaul the vehicle, and Lu Jinzhi dealt with the town leaders. Lu Jinzhi introduced Tong Yan to Liu Zhonghua, Liu Zhonghua was surprised when he saw Tong Yan for the first time, and his first feeling was that this girl was so small, and he barely called "sister-in-law." Tong Yan made Tong Yan blush, Tong Yan also felt awkward, so she simply called her name, Liu Zhonghua felt smooth, and the three of them sat in the small restaurant while drinking tea while waiting for the rain to be lighter.

After the new drivers finished overhauling the vehicle, they also came in to take shelter from the rain, one of them glanced at Liu Zhonghua, with a look of disdain, and the one next to him asked him: "What's wrong?" The driver said to Liu Zhonghua, "I don't know if I can sit in the position for a few days, and the score is not small." The man next to him advised: "No matter what, it's not something we can provoke, let's just work with peace of mind." The driver scoffed and stopped talking. The one next to him also knew that the thorn-headed driver was a relative of a leader in the town, and the leader and Liu Zhonghua did not deal with each other, and the thorn-headed driver said strange things in front of everyone, and everyone also passed with a haha, the gods fought, and the little ghosts mixed something.

Finally waited until the rain was lighter, everyone was ready to go, Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan sat together, the driver was the stingy driver, the driver glanced at Lu Jin, looked at Tong Yan again, didn't say anything, stepped on the accelerator, and drove. The road surface was already full of potholes, and coupled with the accumulation of water, the car drove rickely. Lu Jinzhi frowned, barely patient.

It was getting dark, and everyone discussed it, and to continue driving in the current light was to play with their lives. The convoy stopped in an open field, the situation was a little awkward, it was impossible to move forward, it was not appropriate to retreat, there was no way, I had to mix in the car for one night today. Fortunately, the person who answered brought a lot of things, opened the tarpaulin, and tied the four corners to the tree, which was a simple shed. Spread a thin tarpaulin on the ground and sit down.

They are all big men, with sharp hands and feet, and several sheds are built to keep out the rain, and people can also move their hands and feet. Everyone brought dry food, and they could deal with it by eating a little bit. The prickly driver chatted with someone again, "What kind of road do you say those people are taking, and you have to deal with it outside, I knew that I wouldn't open it just now, and find a guest house to stay for one night, how good." ”

The person on the side is a clear one, as a driver, driving a long distance, it is normal to encounter such a thing, and the guest house is not available everywhere, so I didn't talk to him. The prickly driver was dissatisfied, and his mouth was not clean.

The evening breeze carried the rain, and the person who blew it was cold, and Tong Yan sneezed. Everyone else felt cold too. Someone remembered that there was a kerosene stove in the car, took the stove out, lit a fire, and boiled some hot water for everyone to drink. Tong Yan took advantage of people's inattention and took a lot of ginger out. Everyone laughed at her, how could she go out and bring this, Tong Yantui said that she bought it when she was passing by, and she was going to take it back, but now she contributes it to make ginger tea for everyone. Someone came to help, rinsed the ginger with rainwater, broke it into small pieces, threw it into the water, and boiled it for a while to make ginger tea.

Lu Jinzhi looked at Tong Yan with an uncertain expression, Tong Yan naturally didn't notice that Lu Jinzhi was suspicious of herself, and brought ginger tea to Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi naturally drank not the ginger tea that was brewed so casually, but Tong Yan burned it in advance in the space. Lu Jinyi knew that it was different when he drank it, and Tong Yan brought a little brown sugar in the ginger tea, which could taste sweet. Lu Jinzhi scolded secretly: A little girl with no heart.

The drivers were basically around a tent, and Lu Jinzhi was with the people from the machinery factory. Everyone was a little tired, some were closing their eyes to recuperate, and some were unwilling to stay in the shed, so they went to sleep in the car for a while. Gradually, more and more people went to the car, and there were only four or five people left in the shed. Lu Jinzhi and Liu Zhonghua simply dismantled a shed and surrounded the oilcloth on both sides of a shed, so that they could block the wind, and Tong Yan was not cold with a blanket.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Tong Yan took advantage of the cover of the bag and came out with a lunch box, which contained a box of fried pork ribs. Secretly handed it to Lu Jinzhi, Lu Jinzhi glanced at her, wanted to scold her a few words, looked at Tong Yan's look of begging for praise, thought about it again, took a piece of pork ribs, and gnawed on it. Fortunately, the wind was strong, and a little fragrance was blown away. Since it was Lu Jinzhi's thing, Liu Zhonghua came over cheekily, took a piece and gnawed on it, and gave Tong Yan a thumbs up. All I ate just now was dry food, and I was hungry for a long time, how good is this, to quench hunger and hunger.

The three of them shared a box of pork ribs, Liu Zhonghua didn't eat it in vain, and dismantled a piece of oilcloth and surrounded it into a small space, only one side was half open, Tong Yan could sleep on Lu Jinzhi's body with peace of mind, and Liu Zhonghua sat in the outer position, so that he could basically not see the people inside. Tong Yan slept for four hours, feeling cold on her body, knowing that she couldn't sleep anymore, Lu Jinzhi was also awakened when Tong Yan woke up, Tong Yan asked Lu Jinzhi in a low voice: "Is it cold, do you want to go to sleep in the car." Lu Jinzhi shook his head, looked at the heavy rain outside the shed, and frowned. Tong Yan poured some hot water out of the kettle, and after the two of them washed briefly, they ate something and woke everyone up. Liu Zhonghua sighed that his luck was a little worse, the rain fell less last night, and he thought that he could stop in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be bigger. Everyone didn't want to wait any longer, thinking that they could drive, so they continued on the road.

The convoy set off again, drove for three hours, and then rested again. Liu Zhonghua and Lu Jinzhi looked at the map, there was a shortcut in front of them, which could save a lot of time, but they needed to cross a bridge. There is also a way, which is the same way as you came, so that you can only get there tomorrow.

Drivers mostly choose shortcuts, after all, it is really inconvenient to be outside on a rainy day. The route was set, and everyone felt hopeful, and they arrived at the bridge in an afternoon. After crossing the bridge and driving for another two hours, you can enter Lin'an Town.

Lu Jinzhi looked at the bridge and felt a little uneasy, although it was a stone bridge, the railings on both sides were already missing. Although the bridge deck is wide, it can barely accommodate a car to pass through. In case the vehicle skids, it is easy to fall. On top of that, the river rose so high that it was almost level with the bridge deck, and the water was choppy and muddy.

Lu Jinzhi knew that if he proposed to make a U-turn, it was estimated that the group of drivers would fall out. Now I can only grit my teeth and move forward, hoping that everything will go well.

Lu Jinzhi proposed that one by one pass to avoid damage to the bridge deck under too much pressure. The prick-headed driver muttered on the side: Eventful, coward. Lu Jinzhi heard it, didn't say anything, and when arranging the order of travel, he put the prickly driver last.

All the vehicles lined up, and Liu Zhonghua took the first car and opened the road. Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan sat in the last car and pressed the formation. The first one, passed. The second, passed. The third, through the ,...... Every time a car passed, everyone cheered. The prickly driver sat on the car and was eager to try, the vehicle started, slowly drove on the stone slab, moving forward a little bit, Tong Yanjue's heart was mentioned in his throat, seeing that he was halfway to the bridge, Tong Yan felt that victory was in sight, and continued to move forward, a wave hit, the car made a strange sound, Tong Yan was startled, fortunately, the car continued to move forward, and drove more than a meter away, the car made another sound, and the head of the thorny driver was also sweating.

When he checked the car yesterday, he took a cursory look at it, but he didn't check it at all, and now he can only pray that it won't break down. Obviously, God didn't care about him, and before he drove a meter away, the car didn't move. The driver was sweating in a hurry, and the car did not respond after several starts. Everyone is also in a hurry, the vehicle is too dangerous to park on the bridge, and the water is rising little by little. The driver and Lu Jinzhi went down, opened the hood, looked at it for a long time, and didn't see anything wrong. The driver asked Lu Jinzhi helplessly: "What should I do now?" Lu Jinzhi wiped his face and asked the driver to take out the tow rope, and now he has to rely on other vehicles to tow.

Lu Jinzhi took one end of the rope and ran to the other end of the bridge, and the driver took one end and tied it to the car. After Lu Jinzhi tied the rope to the tractor, he ran back and stood in the middle of the two cars to help command. The rain was pouring down, Lu Jinzhi's clothes were already soaked, and he could only barely see a figure waving his arms in the rain and fog. Tong Yan was uneasy, opened the car door and went down, and the driver was shocked and asked, "What are you doing down?" "Help you command!" Tong Yan said angrily.

Tong Yan stood at a point in front of the car, and the driver was already in the driver's seat. The car in front has begun to start, the tow rope is tightened, slowly pull the broken car, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the next section is downhill, the driver does not dare to be careless, due to the small space between the vehicle and the railing, Tong Yan can only lean his body against the railing, the water has not passed Tong Yan's feet, Tong Yan put one hand on the railing, one hand directs the vehicle forward, not far away a wave hits, at this moment, Tong Yan heard an exclamation, turned around, Lu Jinzhi was gone. Tong Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran to the place where Lu Jinzhi was standing, "There!" Someone on the shore shouted loudly, and someone ran over quickly.
