After getting into the jeep, Cheng Yu tried to start the car. He was lucky. Although the front of the car was completely deformed due to the collision, it actually started.
After fiddling with it for a while, Cheng Yu really got the car started.
Along the river, Cheng Yu found a bridge. After crossing the river, he drove towards Ulaanbaatar.
This was really thanks to the navigator he got from the helicopter. Cheng Yu originally thought that as long as he followed the railway all the way, he would be able to sail into Ulaanbaatar smoothly.
But not long after driving along the railway, he realized that his idea was really too naive.
Imagine that the Mongolian railway is built on the grassland or the Gobi Desert, and there are basically no mountains to block it. It should just drive forward on a flat plain.
But during the actual operation, Cheng Yu discovered that it was not that simple. There were too many hidden pits under the grass and on the sand and gravel. Cheng Yu had only been driving for less than twenty minutes before he could no longer stand it.
Fortunately, the few pits we encountered were not too big, and the car was a manual transmission car. After changing gears and adjusting for a long time, we finally climbed out of the pits.
And here, there is still nearly a hundred kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar. Cheng Yu does not dare to continue like this. If he really falls into a big pit, Cheng Yu will make the sky and the earth useless.
There is almost no other way to get to Ulaanbaatar other than waiting for the next train.
I turned on the navigator and adjusted it to ground mode. Although this was obviously a Russian-made navigator, fortunately, there was still information about major highways.
Following the guidance of the navigator, Cheng Yu found the road leading to Ulaanbaatar. He finally felt relieved and drove along the road. It took him an hour and a half to finally reach Ulaanbaatar.
The first thing after entering the city, Cheng Yu found a public phone. Although he didn't know how to contact the officer, he could at least call the train station in Ulaanbaatar first.
There was a staff member at the train station who could speak Chinese. After communicating with him, Cheng Yu finally explained the situation clearly. The person asked him to drive the car directly to Ulaanbaatar Railway Station, saying that he would definitely contact that train.
This will ensure that the officer Cheng Yu mentioned will be contacted.
Driving a jeep, Cheng Yu arrived at Ulaanbaatar Railway Station.
With good luck, as soon as Cheng Yu arrived at the train station, he saw the officer anxiously waiting for his arrival.
After the train arrived in Ulaanbaatar, the officer also looked confused when facing the empty tail car.
It can be seen from the traces in the carriage that there must have been an accident. The jeep slid out of the carriage, but Cheng Yu's disappearance made the officer feel baffled. He even thought that Cheng Yu had stolen his car.
But facing Cheng Yu's companion, that is, Lao Dapeng was still with him, he also felt that the possibility of Cheng Yu stealing the car was really unlikely.
On the one hand, he was trying to contact the people at the station on the way to look for the jeep that might still be on the railway. On the other hand, he was also waiting in despair for news from Cheng Yu.
So when Cheng Yu contacted the people at the train station, the staff member quickly contacted the driver of the freight train and met an officer who was at a loss and had no idea what was going on. After communicating, the driver
The officer took his subordinates and Lao Dapeng and waited for Cheng Yu's arrival near the train station.
After meeting, there happened to be a staff member who knew Chinese to help translate, so Cheng Yu told the lie he had made up before.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't rest peacefully when faced with your constant snoring.
Thinking that after arriving in Ulaanbaatar, you would have to go to the last carriage to pick up the car, I ran to the last carriage.
I fell asleep after sitting in the car, and then suddenly there was a violent jolt. By the time I reacted, the jeep had already landed on the railroad tracks.
Because I was severely shaken, my consciousness was not clear enough at the time, and I was unable to drive and catch up with the train at the first time.
After I completely woke up, I could only follow the railway and try to drive the car to Ulaanbaatar.
I'm really sorry, the road conditions on this road were really bad, the car even got stuck in a big hole, and the front of the car was hit like this.
Fortunately, I met some herdsmen, and with their help, they helped me get the car out of the pit and pointed out the direction of the road, so that I could finally reach here."
Since no one could know what exactly happened at that time, and Cheng Yu's words were reasonable, the officer accepted Cheng Yu's explanation.
However, looking at this rather miserable jeep, the officer still gnashed his teeth in worry.
In this regard, Cheng Yu had already thought of a countermeasure. When he saw the officer's appearance, he took the initiative and said: "Although I don't know why this car suddenly slipped from the carriage onto the rails, it is also thanks to this car. Otherwise,
I really don't know how to get here.
It's all my responsibility that the car was damaged like this. I really don't understand the road conditions on both sides of the railway.
Well, I'll cover all the repair costs for this car. In addition, since it may be inconvenient for you during the repair process, I will provide you with a sum of money to temporarily rent a car for your transportation.
I am also very sorry for wasting your time, so please allow me to provide another amount of money to express my apology.
Putting all of this together, I will pay you a total of 20,000 US dollars. I don’t know if it can make up for the losses I have caused you..."
Twenty thousand US dollars is more than enough to buy a new car like this. The officer naturally accepted Cheng Yu's "apology" with a smile, so there was no way he would be dissatisfied.
The officer asked the train station staff to tell Cheng Yu: "I can't blame you for this. Instead, we snore too loudly, which affects this friend's rest. It's also thanks to this friend that I can help me."
This car that accidentally slipped from the carriage was found and recovered. I did not give up the money. We are all friends. If you need anything on the line from Ulaanbaatar to Sukhbaatar in the future, just come to me.
"
Cheng Yu naturally said a few more polite words, then hugged the officer, and then asked: "My friend, I don't know where he is now..."
The officer pretended to have just remembered and said hurriedly: "Oh, we have arranged your friend properly. To be honest, we thought it was too weird just now. How could a car and a person just disappear out of thin air?
?I arranged for your friend to rest at the train station, and I will take you to see him right away."
Cheng Yu knew very well that Lao Dapeng was definitely being held as a hostage. If Cheng Yu didn't show up for a long time and the officers really couldn't find his jeep, they would definitely use some means against Lao Dapeng.
However, it should have only been more than an hour since the freight train arrived in Ulaanbaatar. It is estimated that he has not received a reply from the railway, so it should not be too difficult for Dapeng.
The so-called arrangement for him to rest is nothing more than temporary custody and detention.
There was no need to delve into these matters, Cheng Yu followed the officer into the working area inside the train station, and saw Lao Dapeng in a room who had turned pale with fear.
As soon as he saw Cheng Yu, Lao Dapeng immediately rushed forward and howled in shock: "Mr. Cheng, where have you been? I was scared to death. There were several armed soldiers guarding me just now.
I thought I was going to die here!"
Cheng Yu looked at him and asked, "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"There was a language barrier. They couldn't find anyone who could speak Chinese, and I didn't speak English well. I could only keep repeating that you won't leave me. There must have been an accident. They didn't bother me much, they just took me
Lock me up here and won’t let me out.”
Cheng Yu patted Lao Dapeng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's okay. Let's leave here soon."
After communicating with the officer, he simply arranged for Lao Dapeng to continue to stay here. Of course, he would not be subject to custodial restrictions. On the contrary, Cheng Yu also entrusted the staff at the train station to get Lao Dapeng some food and drink.
of.
He himself went to the bank with the officer. Cheng Yu didn't even have Mongolian currency on him, and the officer couldn't accept the U.S. dollar transfer, so he had to go to the bank. Cheng Yu first exchanged the U.S. dollars in his account into the local currency.
, and then pay the officer.
In Sukhbaatar, this officer was probably the type who could make his subordinates break their legs with just one word, but in Ulaanbaatar, he had little energy.
Therefore, everything in the bank was carried out slowly according to the procedures. It lasted until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it took more than two hours to finally complete all the procedures.
The officer who received the money was naturally extremely satisfied and insisted on inviting Cheng Yu and Lao Dapeng to his home in Ulaanbaatar for a meal.
Cheng Yu did not refuse such an invitation. Anyway, the pursuers behind him had been completely eliminated, and now he was tired and hungry. He was unfamiliar with the place in Ulaanbaatar. Someone was willing to be a host.
He couldn't ask for it either.
After picking up Lao Dapeng at the train station, Cheng Yu asked the officer to stop for a moment on the way. He bought some clothes for himself and one for Lao Dapeng, and then went to the officer's home.
Borrowing the bathroom at the officer's house, Cheng Yu and Lao Dapeng took a good bath, put on their newly bought clothes, and ate a standard Mongolian home-cooked meal. At around eight o'clock in the evening, from that
The officers' guards personally took them to one of the best hotels in Ulaanbaatar, the Blue Sky Tower Hotel.
Although Lao Dapeng did not have a passport, Cheng Yu did not plan to give this guy a separate room. Instead, he opened a suite and the two of them checked in together.
It was only then that Lao Dapeng dared to ask the biggest question in his heart with trepidation.
"Mr. Cheng, should we stay here all night? Shouldn't we go directly to the embassy and ask them to arrange for us to be escorted back to the country? Let me tell you, I shouldn't even have eaten that meal just now. I was always on tenterhooks.
I don’t know if Master Cheng’s people will find us.”
In response to this, Cheng Yu simply rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so worried that you didn't eat less just now."
