When Ma Yi bent down to move the stone, it was a little inexplicable. When the square-faced man reprimanded him fiercely, he realized that someone had stopped the car in the middle of the road to teach him a lesson, and concluded that the person who had done this bad thing was the square-faced man.

In fact, he was not too afraid, and said to the square-faced man while removing the stones that the country's constitution does not stipulate that outsiders cannot run transportation in Xiling Town.

Are you still stubborn? You still snort, don't blame me for giving you the god cow wheel deflated, so that your "god cow" becomes a pile of dead iron, not even as good as a scalper, do you believe it or not? The more the square-faced man spoke, the more excited he became, and he stomped the hammer he was holding on the ground, making a clanging sound.

Ma Yi feels that this guy is not a reasonable person, and this is not a reasonable place. He said playfully, "I'm sorry I said the wrong thing." Then he sat in the cab, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the sacred cow drove away from this country road that made him nerve-wracked.

After Ma Yi pulled a truckload of goods to the designated road maintenance site, he unloaded the stones, wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed lonely.

Guan Xin, the leader of the road maintenance team, saw it and asked him why he was unhappy, Ma Yi told him about the fact that there were people blocking the road with stones on the rural road, and said that the matter of dragging stones would not last long.

Guan Xin wiped the asphalt on his feet on the ground, raised his head and said, the country roads are not managed by our road maintenance workers, we only manage the national roads, provincial roads, county roads and town roads, you are talking about village roads, we can't control it, and it's not easy to interfere. The person who stacked stones on the village road to block the car was a local "earth crazy snake" and couldn't be provoked.

Ma Yi said, where did I provoke him? It's him who wants to find a fault. Guan Xin smiled secretly, approached Ma Yi and whispered, it's easy to deal with, I've heard of that person, his name is Xia Sili, he used to collect protection fees for three-horse car drivers on the township road, charging 10 yuan for each trip, and later someone reported that the Xiling Town Police Station arrested him and detained him for half a month, he was locked up in the detention center and did not come out, and the driver who reported him was picked by his gangsters, and the gangsters ran away. Later, when he did anything bad, no one dared to report the case, so they all turned a blind eye and closed one eye.

That Shasley guy was terrible, but he didn't kill anyone. Of course, if you want to do a long job of transporting stones, you have to have a good relationship with him, give him some protection money, and maybe you can ask for peace.

Ma Yi didn't answer immediately, and his heart was more entangled. The last thought is to pay the protection fee. The second time, Ma Yi drove the sacred cow loaded with stones to the village road, and saw that Xia Sili invited three more gangsters, including him, and four people, each holding a wooden stick, a knife and fork and other different instruments in the middle of the road.

He had no choice but to stop the car, get out of the car, pretend to smile, and say to Xia Sili, I used to have eyes and didn't know Taishan, which is really offended. Brother Xia, let's see if you can do this, according to your old rules, charge me a little protection money, and charge 10 yuan for each trip, okay?

Count you interesting, but the protection fee is now raised, 20 yuan per trip, that still refers to the three-horse carriage, you are a sacred cow, high-end, loaded with more goods, and make more money, you must run a trip must be 40 yuan.

As he spoke, he glanced at the other three thugs. They answered, since our four brothers are out today, each of us should get 10 yuan, right?

I'm a little embarrassed, I load a car of stone to transport to the road maintenance site, in addition to the money for burning oil, I may not be able to earn 40 yuan, you want me to give 40 yuan to protect you, I won't run in vain? Ma Yi said and spread his hands.

If you don't think it's cost-effective, you shouldn't take this road. Shasley was resolute.

He played tricks and sent a cart of stones, where did he only earn 40 yuan? At least it's 60 yuan, and more than 80 to 100 yuan. The three thugs talked to each other.

Is it okay to spend 20 yuan for one trip? If I make a few more trips, I will naturally pay more. If you make a mess of me all at once, and I don't run away, you won't be able to collect protection money. Ma Yi looked at Xia Sili in a bargaining tone and said.

That's okay, you can run from this road at least 4 times a day, 20 yuan a trip, a total of 80 yuan. That's it. Shasley spoke aggressively.

Ma Yi felt that he couldn't make it, and now in order to get rid of them, he reluctantly said, yes. He was about to get into the car, Xia Sili stretched out a thick hand and grabbed him, you can give the 20 yuan for this trip!

Can you finish four trips and give it together? Ma Yi asked for his opinion. He said he could next time. Not this time. Ma Yi had no choice but to take out 20 yuan from his body and hand it to Xia Sili, who allowed him to drive away the sacred cow that was dragging stones.

The more Ma Yi thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he always felt that Xia Sili's method was too much, and he couldn't afford to provoke it, so hide! So he drove the empty car back to the quarry, stopped delivering goods, and asked the boss Huo Caimao to give an explanation to the cashier of the finance unit, and leave as soon as the account was settled.

Huo Caimao threw away half of the cigarette that was left, looked at him and asked, Xiaoma, I didn't offend you, and I didn't deduct your wages, why do you want to leave? Ma Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned against the driver's door of this sacred cow, and told Xia Sili and his group about stopping the car on the village road to collect protection money, and Huo Caimao understood.

He said that Shasley was a "mad snake" and that I couldn't afford to mess with him. Before you, he had him transport the stone from our quarry, but some time ago, he said that his farm truck had broken down and was being repaired. I finally learned that his farm car had been deceived by an acquaintance in a neighboring village, and the acquaintance came to him and learned about it through the police station, so he returned the car to the family. In that case, I had to find a driver who could hold off Shasley to drive the stones. But you don't have to leave, you just take a short drive within the confines of our quarry and transport the stone from this side of the mountain to the other side, some of the stone is used to build bridges and pave roads, some is used to burn lime, some is used to make cement, and you have something to do anyway.

Ma Yi asked, what is the salary? Huo Caimao said that it is slightly different from long-distance transportation, but it is basically the same. Ma Yi immediately said: Then I will stay.

At the end of the month, Ma Yi paid his salary and drove the sacred ox cart back to Beiling Town, firstly to reunite with his wife, and secondly, to rest for a few days. On the fourth day, he drove the ox cart to Xiling Town, but before he arrived at the quarry, he was driving on the way, when suddenly four people flashed in front of the road in the middle of the road.

Ma Yi looked familiar, led by Xia Sili, he made a stop gesture, with a cold look, and the other three gangsters were holding more powerful instruments like last time, one of them was a fat dwarf, holding a steel drill with a cannon hole, staring at Ma Yi who was driving, with a brawl posture.

Ma Yi saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't force himself over, these four guys all stood side by side in the middle of the road with fierce looks. Ma Yi had to slow down until he parked the sacred ox cart on the side of the road, he shook the doors and windows of the car, poked his head out and pretended to be smiling, looked at Xia Sili and said, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" Forcibly force my car to stop, this is not your village road, this is a town-level road, do you have to collect protection money?

Untrustworthy guys. Shasley's face sank, and he replied unquestionably, I want you to understand our power today. He waved his hand and said hit, and the three thugs scrambled to fight.

Ma Yi saw the flat-nosed man who rushed to the front and smashed it at him with a wooden stick, he hurriedly closed the car door, and with a "bang", the wooden stick smashed a piece of car door glass; Not to be outdone, another man with a big belly raised a hoe, went around to the front, and smashed the windshield of the ox cart with a "bang".

Ma Yi was outnumbered, showing a willingness to bow to the wind, looking at Xia Sili, who was still standing in the middle of the road, and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, don't smash my car!"

There's nothing to say, see if you dare to coax Lao Tzu! Shasley finally spoke.
