The winter sun always dies a little early, and before five o'clock, the sky is already dark.

The truck drove out of the capital, and small villages appeared on the side of the road.

The rows of tube buildings have become low-rise houses.

The walls of the adobe houses are covered with white-plastered slogans.

The passers-by have changed from workers in blue and black overalls to members in torn cotton jackets.

In the fields, there are still hard-working members with hoes to weed, and a few children carry sticks to follow the sheep back to the village.

The crows returned to the forest, and wisps of cooking smoke wafted from the village.

Niu Meng, who ran a long distance for the first time, was in a good mood.

Rolled down the window and sang a beautiful song:

"The wheels are as fast as they fly?.. The motor sings loudly?.. Singing all the way and laughing all the way?.. The victory is good news and ?......"

Listening to the song that belonged to the driver, Li Weidong turned the steering wheel, followed the winding road, and came to the vicinity of Tangou in the face of the sunset.

On the big tree on the side of the road ahead, a dilapidated tractor head hangs.

The head of the tractor was rotten, the paint of the shell was mottled, and the original color could not be seen, and a dark red blood stain could be faintly seen on the steering wheel.

The blood stains were particularly vivid against the backdrop of the setting sun, and when they were reflected in Li Weidong's eyes, Tong Kong reluctantly contracted.

The Valley of Death has arrived!

Li Weidong stepped on the brakes lightly, slowed down the car and rolled down the window, and the cold wind poured in, making the whole person feel energetic.

"Niu Meng, it's a long downhill ahead, light a cigarette for the master!"

Niu Meng was so nervous that she clenched the handrail at this time, and was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and hurriedly took out a box of big front doors from Li Weidong's trouser pocket.

He took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, struck a match, and put one hand together to help light it.

Li Weidong took a deep breath, the spicy smoke filled his lungs, and the whole person's spirit was highly concentrated.

At this time, the vibration from under the seat, the change in the roar of the engine, and even the cold wind whistling outside the window were all turned into bits of information and integrated into his mind, and after the analysis of more than 10 billion brain neuronal cells, the real-time condition of the truck was obtained.

At this moment, Li Weidong, people and vehicles are one!

There were still less than 500 meters to go down the long downhill, so I decisively applied the brakes and reduced the speed.

Tap your feet on both clutches twice in a row to shift directly from fifth to first gear.

Like a giant monster, the truck slammed down the ramp with yellow smoke billowing from its tail.

Li Weidong did not immediately step on the brakes.

At this time, the truck is still under the drag of the engine, and the speed is still within the controllable range.

Twenty yards, thirty yards, forty yards, the pointer on the dashboard kept beating, and Niu Meng's heart was pounding.

Forty yards may not seem like a lot, but it's a continuous turning zone, and on several occasions the wheels of the trucks are crushing the grass on the edge of the road.

When the truck rubbed against a big tree, Niu Meng could even clearly see the insect eyes on the big tree.

finally couldn't help it: "Master, the speed is too fast, step on the brakes!" ”

"Wait, it's six miles of downhill, and we're only halfway there."

Li Weidong felt a little careless.

He overestimated the Gil 150, and with just twenty tons of cargo, the drag of the engine was unbearable.

Even with a sprinkler, it is difficult to ensure that the brakes are not overheated for such a long downhill.

In the previous life, those trucks all had sprinklers, and they were not out of control?

Fortunately, it is the cold winter season at this time, and the temperature is relatively low.

...

500 meters, 1000 meters, the truck is like a swimming dragon, running wild on the winding mountain road.

When the speed reached 60 yards, Li Weidong finally stepped on the brakes for the first time.

The main cylinder valve opens instantly, and the compressed air pours into the front brake cylinder and the rear brake cylinder through the check valve.

Push the brake arm, the brake cam rotates rapidly, and the brake shoe and brake drum are pushed.

The two are tightly touched together, creating a huge frictional force.

The speed of the car dropped sharply.

At the same time, Li Weidong ordered Niu Meng to turn on the water sprinkler switch.

He was relieved to see through the rearview mirror that water was beginning to seep through the wheels.

With a continuous tap on the brakes and a turn of the steering wheel, the truck slowly ran down the road.

Seeing that the speed of the car was stable at thirty yards, Niu Meng's heart hanging in his throat was also put back in his stomach.

After helping Li Weidong refill another cigarette, he asked in a low voice: "Master, if you didn't control the speed just now, what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do? The whole village eats a feast. Li Weidong took a cigarette in his mouth and squinted at Niu Meng, who was afraid: "Scared?" Also, what kind of big car does a girl's family drive. ”

"I'm not afraid! Can't lesbians drive? You're discriminating against lesbians! Niu Meng straightened his chest and shook his fist.

Yes, since you are not afraid of death, there is no need to persuade you.

After a long downhill, the rest of the journey is much easier.

Although it was late at night, the mountain road was dark and the road conditions were very poor.

However, Li Weidong, as an old driver, can still easily deal with it.

It's just that soon he encountered the enemy of long-distance veteran drivers - sleepiness.

The monotonous noise of the wheels rubbing against the sand, the endless blackness, and the vibration like an electric massage stick from the seat under the buttocks all urged Li Weidong to hurry up and sleep all the time.

After smoking five cigarettes in a row and opening the car window, Li Weidong still felt that his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

"Apprentice, sing another song to the master."

Niu Meng, who was yawning, also came to his senses and sang loudly: "We are walking on the road of socialist happiness.

Hey, don't say it, this girl is really unique in singing.

The treble can't go up, the bass can't come down, and the midrange can't be controlled, it's like a ghost crying wolf.

There was even a wolf howl in the distance.

Is this the same kind of interaction with each other?

The singing is scary, but what a refreshment!

After a song, Li Weidong was still unsatisfied, and said: "It's really good to sing, good apprentice, let's do another song." ”

Niu Meng was praised for the first time, and her eyes widened excitedly: "Okay! I became a master record player along the way. ”

"Pull the turnips?... Hey, hey, hey, plucking turnips?... Hey, hey, hey, can't pull out?... The old woman is coming?... Come and help us pluck the turnips?. ”

Good guy, a good children's song, it was sung with the taste of a white-haired girl, and there was no one.

In the melodious singing, a little light appeared at the end of the barren mountain road.

Li Weidong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was not yet ten o'clock in the evening.

The majestic building, against the backdrop of the bright moonlight, is full of mystery.

The distance is getting closer and closer, with the help of the dim light, you can see that at the end of the road is a memorial arch-style factory gate, and the doorpost next to it reads, "Raise vigilance, defend the motherland" eight bright red characters

Li Weidong knew that the destination state-owned 9621 factory had arrived.

"Horn, horn."

Hearing the noise of the truck, more than a dozen sentries in taupe uniforms walked over with guns.

"I have a little donkey..."

The sentry squad leader saluted Li Weidong: "Comrade driver, welcome to the state-owned 9621 factory, please show your pass." ”

"Ride to the market..."

"This is our ID." Li Weidong handed out the documents through the window.

"With a little leather whip..."

The sentry squad leader took the document and carefully checked it, then compared it with Li Weidong and the others with the photos on the job, and finally ran to the rear of the car to check the license plate number.

After confirming that it is correct, it will be handed over to the attendant for registration.

"Bang la la..."

The sentry squad leader handed the document back to Li Weidong and said, "Delay for a while, we have to board the car for inspection." ”

Without waiting for an answer, he waved his hand, and several sentries behind him boarded the body and turned on their flashlights to inspect them box by box.

"Fell into the mud..."

More than ten minutes later, the sentry in the car jumped down and reported: "Report to the squad leader, the goods are checked correctly!" ”

The sentry squad leader ran back to the sentry card and shook the phone to verify.

When he ran out again, he frowned: "Comrade, the documents and goods are fine, but they are about to enter the factory, and the big guys are resting, can you please ask this little master not to sing anymore, and the wolf will be summoned later." ”

"Understood!" Li Weidong pushed Niu Meng, who closed his eyes and was singing: "Apprentice, let's get to the place, you have completed the task, you don't need to sing." ”

"It's here! Can you eat? Niu Meng opened his eyes, saw the surrounding situation clearly, and instantly became excited.

Sentinels: "...."

Li Weidong: "...."

Li Weidong pinched his eyebrows in distress, there will definitely be trouble in the future with such an apprentice.
