Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

After Wang An finished speaking, he kissed each of the two little ones on the cheek, and then said to them:
"Alright, Dad's gone. You two go find Mom and Auntie."

These two little ones are closest to their parents, Wang An and Mu Xueqing, but their third closest relative is not their grandparents, Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan, but Huang Li.

There was no other way; ever since they were born, Huang Li had been helping Mu Xueqing take care of them, while Wang Dazhu and his wife would only come over every day to hold them and cuddle them for a while.

So it's quite normal that they would be closer to the oriole.

After Wang An finished speaking, he pointed in the direction of Mu Xueqing and Huang Li. The two little guys then showed their two tiny teeth and waddled towards Mu Xueqing and Huang Li with their short legs.

It has to be said that these two little guys are so cute and good-looking. Looking at them, Wang An's heart melted.

After instructing his family and bidding them farewell, Wang An turned to Mu Xueli and Wang Li and said with great enthusiasm:
"Let's go, let's make a fortune, hahahaha!"

After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueli excitedly echoed:
"Yeah, let's make big money, hahaha."

Wang Li also said with great excitement:
"Make big money, make big money, hahaha!"

As they spoke, Wang An took the lead, with Mu Xueli and Wang Li, Wang An's "two henchmen," following closely behind. Amidst the worried gazes of those inside, the three of them went out together.

This drive to Anguo was over 2000 kilometers long. If you include the winding routes, it might have taken 2,300 to 2,400 kilometers.

The main problem is that there are no highways these days, so you have to take national highways no matter where you go. And national highways are always winding and circuitous, so the actual distance is unpredictable.

These days, highway robbers are much more common and can be seen everywhere. So, in addition to the Type 54 pistols that each of Wang An and his two companions carried, they also had three powerful rifles in the car: Type 56 assault rifles.

That's right. Wang An felt that he wasn't very confident even with the Type 56 semi-automatic; only a powerful vehicle like the Type 56 assault rifle had enough deterrent power.

There was really nothing we could do, because in the days leading up to the major sanitation campaign, there were a huge number of rotten donkeys and horses, and the exact number was countless.

The key point is that these gangsters also have a lot of tough stuff in their hands, such as old foreign cannons and single-barreled shotguns. These are basically one per person among those who rob.

They also have quite a few of these powerful weapons, such as the Double-Barreled Sniper Rifle and the Type 56 Semi-Strike Rifle. As for the Type 56 assault rifle, they probably don't have any left, since the Type 56 assault rifle is strictly controlled and is extremely rare even in the mountains of Heilongjiang Province.

Therefore, Wang An felt that only the powerful firepower of the Type 56 assault rifle could give him and the other two, and more importantly, the valuable vehicle worth a full 58 yuan, a strong sense of security.

It's important to understand that this 58 yuan was essentially all the cash the Wang family owned, and it was absolutely essential to keep it safe.

For this reason, Wang An even went to Wu Dong to ask him for six spare magazines for the Type 56 assault rifle.

Not a large Type 54 pistol, but each person had a Type 56 assault rifle and two spare magazines with 30 rounds each. Under this kind of suppressive fire, Wang An really didn't believe that anyone would dare to rob the three of them. Unless they were damn tired of living.

Of course, even though he brought the GAZ-56, Wang An still hoped that the GAZ-56 would be completely useless on the round trip. After all, only when they weren't needed would Wang An, his two companions, and the 58 yuan worth of cargo be at their safest. As for Wang An's GAZ, it was a genuinely modified vehicle. Although its initial price of 5 yuan was indeed quite expensive, it was certainly worth the price.

The car windows look ordinary, but they are very thick, clearly custom-made.

The exterior of the car looks ordinary, but once you open the door, you'll know that the door is quite heavy because the steel plates of the car body are also specially made.

While the tires aren't bulletproof, they are puncture-proof, meaning you can still walk even if they're flat.

As for the fuel tank, the volume remains unchanged, still the same 210-liter fuel tank as the old GASTO, but the material of the fuel tank has been changed. After being impacted, the fuel tank will only deform, but will not be torn and leak oil.

Theoretically speaking, this car can travel 800 kilometers, or 1600 li, after filling up with gas.

Of course, these days, when you drive out, you have to carry a gas can in your car. If you run out of gas, it can really be a real headache.

The main problem is that larger cities have gas stations, but smaller and less developed areas don't even have a place to refuel private cars.

In a large county like DJ County, there are currently no gas stations, but they are under construction and will be operational next summer.

Wang Li drove, Mu Xueli sat in the passenger seat, and Wang An remained in the back. After the three of them left, they drove straight towards the county town.

Upon arriving in Gong'anju, the county town, Wang An went to Zhang Shuya's office and shamelessly demanded the identification documents the three of them had used when they last went to Anguo. He then asked Zhang Shuya to issue a certificate and a letter of introduction.

Without these things, if there's a checkpoint on the road, Wang An's single company patrol officer certificate won't be very effective.

The main problem is the existence of three Type 56 assault rifles. I'm asking you, what are you trying to do with such powerful things? Are you going to massacre some place or what?

Of course, there were very few private cars in those days, and GAZ vehicles were mostly used by various organizations, so there were very few instances of them being inspected.

After leaving Gong Anju, Wang An had Wang Li drive him to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county. Wang An got out of the car and went into the bookstore, where he bought several maps of the three northeastern provinces, a national map, and a map of Yi Province.

That's right, it's about buying maps. The main reason is that these days there's no such thing as navigation, so you have to look at maps to go anywhere. From national maps to county maps, they're all sold in bookstores, and they sell quite well.

最后，仨人又去了一趟供销社，买了3条烟、1包火柴、5斤饼干、5斤炉果、10盒肉罐头、10瓶桃罐头、还有两捆子汽水和瓜子花生等零食装在了车上。

We did bring some food and water in the car, but that's how it is when you're traveling. It's always good to be prepared, since it's a 2000-kilometer journey, and given the road conditions at the time, it would take at least three or four days to get there.

With everything ready, the three of them drove straight to CC in Kyrgyzstan.

That's right, we're heading straight for CC, because if we're driving, we won't go through Harbin; it's too much of a detour. (End of Chapter)
