Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 126 Brother, wake up!
Li Muyang came out of his second brother's house and did not go directly to Nangou.

Instead, he returned to the path in front of his house and practiced for an hour or two.

Tricycles seem to be more difficult to ride than four-wheelers and two-wheelers.

When I started riding, for some reason, the front of the car always turned to one side, and I always had the desire to rush into the vegetable field.

This is true even when the bike is empty. If it is loaded with bricks, it will definitely be more difficult to ride.

He had no choice but to practice his skills tirelessly, thinking that he would at least wait until the empty car was very smooth before he would move to physical transportation.

After practicing thoroughly, it was extremely dark.

I thought about it while riding in the car and decided to do it while it was dark.

Although those bricks are all garbage, no one wants them if they are dumped in a ditch. No one cares about them.

But if someone really sees it, they will point fingers and make some sarcastic remarks.

He went into the house and took a flashlight, went out, thought of something, returned home again, took a pack of cigarettes and put them on his body, and then rode towards Gouer Mountain.

Nangou is just below Gouer Mountain.

The last time he came back from the market, he observed the route to Nangou. There was a shortcut, but the car couldn't go down, so he had to take a long detour.

It is now past 10 o'clock in the evening. During this time, the villages under the mountains have become much quieter.

Most people have extinguished their kerosene lamps.

Start sleeping.

If they go to bed early, they will wake up early. The length of the time cycle will not increase, it will just change the time node.

Li Muyang turned from the main road into the trail of Xianangou, and suddenly heard several dog barks from nowhere.

He was shocked.

Stopped and looked around, but saw no sign of the dog.

Under the moonlight, there was only the silhouette of himself and the car.

He looked at the shadow and grinned, "Looking like this, he seems a bit suspected of being a thief."

In the middle of the night, a man was riding a tricycle on such a remote road. He didn't look like a good person.

"I am turning waste into treasure and integrating and utilizing resources."

He changed his mind and did some ideological work for himself, and then he regained his energy and reached his destination.

Before we arrived, we could smell a strong smell of sulfur in the distance. If we looked carefully, we could see the sky in front of us was covered with thick fog.

Against the moonlight, it looks like a bunch of black clouds.

Li Muyang knew that this was a truck from a brick and tile factory that had just dumped waste bricks.

The black cloud is the heat emanating from the hot bricks.

In fact, the government now does not allow brick and tile factories to directly dump large bricks and tiles.

They were asked to crush the bricks and tiles and then landfill them.

Mainly there were conflicts between the brick and tile factory and the fish farmers below Nangou, and there were also physical exchanges.

Below Nangou is a tributary of the Malian River. Originally, the water was not very large, but because of its low location, a lot of water accumulated every time it rained, gradually forming a rare small stream.

Later, someone came back from other places and found that there was no place to raise fish nearby, so he contracted a section of the stream and intercepted it to raise fish.

Unexpectedly, the benefits were quite good.

Later, people successively contracted the streams in sections, and at most there were more than a dozen fish ponds.

There are fish ponds, and pig and chicken farms are derived.

There are also lotus roots and other things that can grow in water, which gradually formed an industrial chain, and more and more people gathered.

There is even a very small village called Nangou Village along the fish pond.

At first, there was no conflict between the brick and tile factory and Nangou Village.

It is even popular because the wastewater from brick and tile factories is rich in nutrients, causing many algae to reproduce at a faster rate, providing food for fish that eat algae and plankton.

But later, as the amount of waste bricks continued to increase, more positions were needed, and gradually began to move forward along the brick and tile factory.

Finally one day, fragments of bricks began to fall into the fish pond in Nangou.

When the fish farmers discovered that this was no accident, they banded together to find fault with the brick and tile factory.

After going back and forth, I got started.

They tried it out several times, and one time they even had large-scale physical contact.

The government intervened and ordered the brick and tile factories to strictly prohibit the dumping of large bricks and tiles.

What can be dealt with is dealt with. Even though the brick and tile factory is not collapsing on the surface, it is still collapsing secretly.

Who said they have a thick background?

At this time, the brick and tile factories were all state-owned.

No, Li Muyang happened to encounter them dumping bricks and tiles.

Li Muyang was not yet sure whether the car that dumped the brick and tile factory was gone, so he waited in the shadows.

The waste bricks are dumped secretly here, and cars usually don't turn on the lights when driving in this place.

To prevent being seen by the fishermen below.

Moreover, the walking speed will be slower.

Reduce noise to a minimum.

The ramp here was spiraling up. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Muyang saw a truck appear under the moonlight.

The trucks these days are all Jiefang trucks from the old brand, and they look very "simple", like an engine covered with an iron box.

Li Muyang waited silently for the truck to pass.

But for some reason, the truck suddenly stopped.

It stopped four to fifty meters away from him.

The driver's door was opened, and a man came down with a flashlight, walked around the car, and stopped on the right side for a while, wondering what happened.

When he returned to the car, he turned on all the lights.

"Why are you suddenly not afraid of people?"

Li Muyang was just curious when he saw the man take another black object from the driver's seat and put it on the right side of the car.

Finally, something was pulled out from under the car.

When Li Muyang saw the last thing pulled out, he knew the whole story instantly.

It turned out that the tire was punctured.

There's nothing surprising about that either.

The waste he pulled out from the brick and tile factory might have contained some iron wire, iron slag and the like. It was normal for it to fall to the ground halfway through the process.

What's a bit surprising is that trucks generally have thicker tires. When the truck came back, it didn't bear any weight and was empty. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have punctured the tire.

As for a tire blowout, it's even more unlikely.

Li Muyang stayed here for a long time and never heard the sound of a flat tire.

It's really bad luck.

Li Muyang was speechless.

His time is very limited and he cannot wait here forever.

But the tire of this big car is broken, which is not as good as that of a small car. It will take a while to change it.

Li Muyang never knew how to drive in his previous life, and he didn't even know how to change a small car. Imagine that the tires of a large car are so big, it must be difficult to change.

He looked at the time and saw that it was past eleven o'clock.

You can't go back empty-handed.

You have to pull a car anyway.

So, he was like an underground party member lying in wait here, waiting for the "enemy" to leave.

But things developed far beyond his expectation.

I saw the man put the tire on the ground and pulled something from the side of the truck. After a few pulls, it didn't seem to move. He roared and pulled hard, and finally pulled down the door on the side of the truck.

It hit him on the head.

He just heard a muffled groan and was pressed under the door, motionless.Li Muyang was dumbfounded.

What is this for?
What happened? That person wouldn't have accidentally smashed himself to death.

Two thoughts quickly came to his mind.

First I thought of rushing over to save people.

But as soon as he jumped off the tricycle, he suddenly thought about his identity in saving people.

In the middle of the night, I pulled a tricycle and ran to this place. If I said I just wanted to bring some scrap bricks back, it would be difficult to explain clearly.

Moreover, I don’t know how the person was suppressed.

If not, it might end up being ruined by your own hands.

There is no monitoring or anything these days, so I really can’t tell.

The two thoughts flashed through his mind almost instantly. In fact, it only lasted a second or two.

He immediately ran over there.

Even though he knew there might be trouble, he couldn't just watch this person.

If something goes wrong with him or even loses his life, Li Muyang feels that he will never feel at ease in his life.

He couldn't be that cold.

It took only a few seconds to reach dozens of meters.

When I got to the car, I saw that the truck's fender was an iron plate. Although it was not very thick, it suddenly fell from the car and hit the man's head, knocking him unconscious.

The iron plate fell on him.

Li Muyang hurriedly moved the iron plate away. It was estimated to weigh more than 100 kilograms.

After moving away, I saw a middle-aged man in his 40s lying underneath, wearing work clothes from a brick and tile factory, with worn white gloves on his hands, and iron-toed shoes specially issued to workers.

Iron toe shoes have steel plates on their toes and are generally used as labor protection shoes.

If a heavy object falls down, it will be supported by the steel plate on the toe and will not hit the toes and tops of the feet.

An irregular blood hole was punched into the middle-aged man's forehead, and blood was flowing out.

His brows knit together in pain, but he didn't wake up for a while.

"Brother, wake up!"

"Big brother~"

Li Muyang patted the man's face and shouted several times, but found that he didn't respond at all.

I had no choice but to take out my handkerchief and press hard on his forehead to stop the bleeding.

Seeing that the person was still awake, he simply kicked the person's calf hard.

Then he pinched his philtrum hard.

I don't know whether it was the pinching force or the kicking that had the effect.

The man suddenly said "ah" and sat up.

First there were a few seconds of confusion.

Then he looked at Li Muyang and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"Look at it."

Li Muyang pointed to the scene around him, and it was clear at a glance without any explanation.

Sure enough, the man quickly figured out the whole story, and then looked at Li Muyang with gratitude on his face, "Did you save me?"

Li Muyang smiled and said, "No, no, I just helped you move the iron plate. Seeing how much blood was flowing on your head, I helped you put pressure on the wound."

He said that he didn't help much, but he told what he had done without any hesitation. Li Muyang was playing a trick again.

Because it was the moment this man woke up that he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

He almost praised himself for being smart.

Just five minutes ago, he hadn't even thought about it.

Since this person is a truck driver who specializes in dumping waste bricks, and he needs waste bricks, why not let this person deliver the waste bricks directly to his doorstep.

Large waste bricks can be used to hang branches, and small broken bricks can be used to pave the way.

Although the path he takes up the mountain now is leveled, it is all filled with soil.

On rainy days, it is easy to get muddy and the road may be washed out again by the rain.

But if you lay small bricks and slag, wouldn't this problem be solved very well?

Moreover, the brick powder pulled out along with the broken bricks can also act like cement if combined with soil.

Once dry, the bricks can be fixed in place.

The top is repeatedly compacted with stone rollers, and half bricks are used on both sides of the road. The road will basically be stable for a long time and will not collapse easily.

When we have money later, we can pour asphalt or cement on top.

He just wanted to pull the broken bricks before, but he didn't think so much. He had an idea after seeing this man.

With this ghost idea in mind, he thought about how to convince the driver in front of him.

To impress a person is nothing more than interests and feelings.

In terms of profit, if the driver can transport the bricks and stones to him, he won't have to secretly dump them in the middle of the night, which is equivalent to solving his trouble.

It just needs to be driven further and consumes some diesel fuel.

If the driver needs to supplement, just give him some diesel money.

As for feelings...

What greater kindness can there be than saving a life?

If he hadn't needed this person, Li Muyang would have waited for the person to wake up and confirmed that there was no new danger before leaving without saying anything.

This is his character.

But since you have chosen to take advantage of this driver, don't take advantage of the kindness just now.

Sure enough, when the man heard what Li Muyang said and confirmed his kindness, he felt even more grateful.

"Oh, how can I thank you for this? If it weren't for you, I...I..."

He looked around at the deserted mountain road under the moonlight. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Looking at the bleeding on his head, he didn't know what would have happened if he hadn't bumped into Li Muyang.

I don’t know if this old life can be saved.

"We've just encountered each other, right? Drawing a sword to help when the road is rough is the way of a hero, isn't it?"

"Haha~ Ouch."

Li Muyang seemed to be joking, but in fact he described his behavior as heroic.

Quietly promote his behavior.

The man was amused by Li Muyang's words and smiled, but his muscles moved as soon as he smiled, and the pain in the wound immediately became unbearable.

"See if you can get up. Do you want to go to the health center?"

"It shouldn't be necessary, I'll try..."

With Li Muyang's help, the man stood up and walked a few steps, and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with him, except that his head was still bleeding, slowly seeping into the handkerchief.

"No, I think it's better to go to the health center to bandage it. Not only to stop the bleeding, but also to take some anti-inflammatory medicine. If it becomes inflamed, it won't be good."

"No need, this is nothing. We who drive sports cars, all of us don't get injured every now and then. This small wound is nothing, the blood will stop flowing after a while."

"But this blood..."

"It's really okay."

The man refused to go. Seeing that Li Muyang was puzzled, he explained with a wry smile: "I can only make a few dollars a day. If you go to the health center, he is not allowed to give you all kinds of medicine. It will not be in vain for a few days."

"OK then……"

Li Muyang stopped trying to persuade him and looked at the tire thrown beside him, "Brother, is your tire broken?"

"No, the tire is flat."

The driver was speechless, "The tires on my car are very thick, so they shouldn't be punctured. What the hell!"
