Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 130 The road is not smooth
"Chief He is fine, just a few people who want a ride."

Hearing the questioning, the driver turned around and saw that He Yuanchao had touched the gun handle. He was startled and quickly explained.

There was a rumor in the rolling mill that the new security section chief was a boss who would plagiarize anyone who disagreed with him. The driver didn't quite believe it at first, thinking it was someone gossiping about his wife and deliberately exaggerating.

But today his eyes were opened. Before he could understand what was going on, this master was about to draw a gun. It seemed that the rumors that he was ruthless were not groundless!

Ugh……

It seems that there is no hope for Wailao on this trip.

"Oh, I thought I met some kind of road robber."

After listening to the driver's words, He Yuanchao looked at the people outside the car with large and small packages blocking the car, and then joked with the driver with a smile.

Seeing He Yuanchao taking off his gun handle and regaining his smile, the driver boldly asked, "Chief He, do you think you can let them take this ride?"

After saying that, the driver looked at He Yuanchao expectantly. He felt a little unwilling to make a trip on New Year's Day without making some extra money.

"Master, you don't need to ask me about this. As long as it doesn't delay the mission, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing the driver looking at him eagerly, He Yuanchao didn't even think about ruining his career and wealth. After all, no long-distance driver would do this at this time. Otherwise, someone would say, "You can hold the steering wheel and even the county magistrate won't change it." .”

Besides, it's not easy for these people to go out at this time. It's freezing cold. If we don't give them a ride, we don't know how long it will take to see a car again.

"Then Section Chief He, can I just drag them along?"

"Well, hurry up, don't delay our own schedule."

"Come on, Chief He, just keep it up, there won't be any mistakes."

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, the driver couldn't believe that this ruthless master was so easy to talk to.

After confirming once again that the head of the security department had no objection to his earning extra money, he quickly said his words of assurance with a smile, opened the car door, and prepared to get out of the car and greet these "financiers" into the car.

Before the driver got out of the car and walked a few steps, several men and women blocking the road suddenly gathered around him, cheering happily.

Seeing the driver muttering with the people in front of the car, He Yuanchao knew that they were discussing the price. He didn't pay attention. He took out his cigarette and lit it and smoked while looking at the people who were willing to fight and the people who were willing to suffer. Son.

He Yuanchao had only taken two puffs of the cigarette when he saw the driver leading a few people carrying large and small packages towards the truck behind him. He really didn't notice that the driver, who was driving slowly and slowly, was quite neat at what he did.

"Chief He is done. Let's continue on our way, shall we?"

When the cigarette was almost finished, the driver happily returned to the cab, closing the door while smiling and talking to himself.

He Yuanchao, who put out the cigarette butt with his hand and threw it out of the car window, replied smoothly: "Okay, let's keep going."

"Good."

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, the driver stopped talking nonsense and happily drove the car back on the road.

As for where the hitchhikers went and where they were arranged, Section Chief He didn't ask, so he was happy to save some words. I have to say that although this person is a bit cruel and ruthless, he is still very understanding of the world.

After the car drove for more than an hour, the driver frowned and stopped the car again.

Before He Yuanchao, who had just opened his eyes, could ask what was going on, the driver pointed to the road ahead and said: "Chief He, the road ahead is impassable. It seems we have to take a detour."

He Yuanchao looked in the direction pointed by the driver and immediately frowned, but he didn't say anything, put on his cotton coat, opened the door and got out of the car.

After walking towards the car for five or six minutes, He Yuanchao, who was frowning even more, stopped.

I originally thought that I couldn't walk on that section, but I didn't expect that the further I walked, the worse the surface would sink. He Yuanchao, who didn't do geology, didn't understand how this good road could sink. "What about Section Chief He? I can't go on the road ahead."

Looking at He Yuanchao who returned to the cab, the driver said in a calm voice while carefully looking at the face of the head of the security department.

Just now, I praised Section Chief He as a person who understands people and the world. Why did his intelligence disappear in the blink of an eye?I've been driving for half my life, and I've never seen any kind of road conditions. If I say I can't walk, then it's all for nothing.

"Master Liu, don't be ridiculous. I've never seen this kind of phenomenon before. Get out of the car and learn more about it."

Looking at the driver's expression, He Yuanchao didn't want the driver to think blindly in his mind, so he explained cheerfully.

After saying that, regardless of whether the driver believed it or not, he turned around and took out a map from his bag.

While gesturing on the map with his finger, he said, "Master Liu, approximately where are we now?"

"Xinglong County."

As soon as He Yuanchao finished asking, the driver pointed to a location on the map and answered without thinking.

It was still about half the distance from the Summer Resort. After listening to the driver's words, He Yuanchao took a look at the map and estimated the approximate distance.

Thinking of walking so far this morning, Lao He couldn't help picking up his teeth.

"It's okay, Section Chief He. It's just a detour. We can arrive in Chengde at 04:30 in the afternoon. We just have a night's rest there. Let's leave early tomorrow morning. We can reach Hongfeng in one go."

Seeing that He Yuanchao was a little worried, the driver quickly comforted himself after receiving an explanation from the cadre.

"That's all we can do. Master Liu, let's change lanes now."

After listening to the driver's words, He Yuanchao, who had no curse to recite, raised his head and said to Master Liu.

bang bang bang...

Before the driver could speak, the two people in the car heard someone knocking on the door.

"Old Liu, the road ahead is impassable. Which way should we take next?"

As soon as Master Liu opened the door, someone from the drivers standing below asked.

"Yes, section chief, we can't sleep in the wilderness tonight. It's freezing cold and it's quite exciting just thinking about it."

While several drivers had finished speaking, Li Jiefang, who was following, also interrupted and joked with He Yuanchao.

"If we want to live in the wild and play alone, we have to stay in a warm hotel in Chengde."

As soon as Li Jiefang finished speaking, Master Liu continued cheerfully.

After making this joke with Li Jiefang, Master Liu discussed with the other three drivers and He Yuanchao which way to go next.

Master Liu is worthy of being an experienced driver who often runs long distances and knows all the roads well.

After explaining the conditions of each road to Chengde, they quickly chose the one that was currently most suitable for them.

After discussing which way to go, no one was in a hurry. After making a fire on the spot and having a lunch, everyone continued to drive around.

Nothing happened after that. After seven and a half hours, the four trucks finally arrived in Chengde at 04:30 in the afternoon, when it was just dark.
