Li Xiangyang looked at her: "Okay, let's go down to eat, and then go to a few other markets after eating."
Lin Lan nodded, and the two of them put away their pockets and walked downstairs with their backpacks.
Duan Hongjun and the two masters following the car were talking about what they had seen on the road.
The three of them felt that the road was getting more and more chaotic. In the mountains, they met a few girls wearing short and thin clothes waving at the roadside. When the wind blew, their white flesh was exposed.
If a lustful person stops the car, someone will get in the car and rob him of all his goods.
Seeing Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang coming down, Liu Da turned to Duan Hongjun and waved to them: "The food is on the table, let's talk while we eat."
He was worried that after hearing this, Lin Lan would not allow Li Xiangyang to follow the car for fear that the road would be unstable. But the goods he bought this time were extremely valuable, and he was really worried if Li Xiangyang didn't go with him.
Duan Hongjun and the two other masters following the car said to Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, remember to bring two sets of good-quality clothes back for us."
Li Xiangyang looked at Duan Hongjun and shook his head: "Li Bing and Liu Biao have their sizes, but yours can only be made at a sewing shop."
"Yes!" Liu Biao patted Duan Hongjun, "Who told you to be so tall? Look at Xiang Yang's height of 1.78 meters. You are a head taller than him."
Duan Hongjun scratched his head and said angrily: "My mother gave birth to this baby, what can I do?"
Everyone laughed.
Liu Da said to Lin Lan: "Xiao Lin, Uncle Da will discuss with you and ask Xiangyang to escort a car for me. Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Xiang Yang just told me." She said and looked at Li Xiangyang and Duan Hongjun, "It's cold and the road is slippery. You must be careful on the road."
Li Xiangyang and Li Bing both nodded in agreement.
Duan Hongjun smiled and said: "Xiao Lin, don't think I'm taller than Xiang Yang, his kung fu is much better than mine, otherwise Uncle Da wouldn't ask Xiang Yang for help."
"Be careful." Liu Da turned to look at Duan Hongjun, "As the saying goes, caution can catch thousands of cicadas, and caution can sustain a boat of ten thousand years. You three must remember that the mother-in-law and children at home are waiting for us."
Duan Hongjun nodded three times: "I understand, Uncle Da."
After several people had a good meal, Duan Hongjun and Master Li rested in the guest house.
Liu Da gave his and Lin Lan's letter of introduction to the owner of the guest house, and asked him to help buy a sleeper ticket to return to the provincial capital tomorrow. He also asked him to rent a tricycle and went to several other markets with Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang.
Lin Lan found that the market here was more lively than the night market last night. There were only one street crowded with people, and it was as noisy as those Internet celebrity scenic spots thirty or forty years later.
There was a bag seller at the intersection of the market. Lin Lan bought a dozen canvas bags, and Li Xiangyang squeezed in while pushing a tricycle.
The three of them visited two nearby markets, filling up the newly purchased canvas bags with the purchased goods, and also filled a dozen canvas bags given by the wholesale boss.
When I returned, I bought a few boxes of clothes hangers and a dozen flexible rulers at the market, and hired a tricycle to take my things back to the guest house.
The three of them moved the goods upstairs and piled them all into the guest room where Lin Lan lived.
After moving the goods, the three people stopped to sit on chairs to catch their breath. Only then did they realize that it was already midnight, and the soles of their feet still hurt like needles.
Liu Da shook his head repeatedly: "The clothing business is too tiring to purchase goods, so I should be more relaxed."
He felt that Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang were really well matched. They were both equally courageous and could buy goods worth tens of thousands of dollars at a time without worrying that they would not be able to sell them back.
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "It's never easy to make money. You also said that money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat." He only knew Uncle Da's strength today. Compared with him, he was really far behind. He felt that he had to continue.
Work hard.
Liu Da nodded: "Yes! You are tired of purchasing goods, I am tired of purchasing goods on the road."
The three of them poured hot water and burned their feet. Li Xiangyang and Liu Da went back to the house to sleep.
Lin Lan sorted out the goods list, kept accounts, and lay on the bed looking at the piles of bags. Among the goods, she only had more than a thousand yuan, and the rest was all Li Xiangyang's money.
Thinking that Li Xiangyang would escort the car away tomorrow, I felt a little worried.
At five o'clock, Li Xiangyang and Liu Da came to Lin Lan's side. They tied the goods with hemp rope and dragged them to the backyard of the guest house for loading.
Lin Lan saw that the car was filled with cartons and wooden boxes, and several motorcycles were placed near the carriage board.
Li Xiangyang, Duan Hongjun, and Li Bing climbed into the car, stacked the goods, moved all the bags to the car, and tied them with thick hemp ropes. Then they covered the car with a military green canvas tent to cover the car tightly.
Liu Da bought biscuits and asked the boss to make a lot of dry food for the four of them to eat on the road.
Duan Hongjun got into the car with dry food and said to Liu Da: "We are setting off."
Liu Da nodded: "Have a nice trip."
Lin Lan put fermented bean curd and mushroom sauce into Li Xiangyang's backpack: "Be careful, I'll wait for you at home."
Li Xiangyang shook Lin Lan's hand and said, "Okay, be careful on the road." After that, he picked up his backpack and got into the truck.
Lin Lan and Liu Da stood there, watching Duan Hongjun start the car, wave to them, and drive towards the gate.
At half past ten, Lin Lan and Liu Dashan boarded the train to the provincial capital.
Li Xiangyang fell asleep in the car and woke up at noon. The four of them stopped in a small town to eat, filled up on water, and continued on their way. They stayed at a state-run hotel in a small county for the night.
In the first half of the night, Duan Hongjun and Li Bing escorted the car, and in the second half of the night, Li Xiangyang and Liu Biao went to bed to rest.
The four of them continued their journey early the next morning, and encountered several checkpoints on the road. Li Xiangyang had the purchase order provided by Zhang Zemin in his hand, and they stopped at the foot of a mountain without any hindrance.
The winding mountain road winds up and looks like a giant dragon entrenched from the bottom up.
Three large trucks were parked on the roadside at the foot of the mountain. Duan Hongjun and Li Bing took out the sticks, shotguns, and a pistol hidden in the seat cushions.
Duan Hongjun replaced Li Xiangyang and gave him the gun: "Xiang Yang, there is a section of road at the bend in the middle of the mountain that is very narrow. We almost had an accident when we passed there."
They have been racing cars on this road for seven or eight years, and they all know where there are pitfalls.
Li Bing also said: "Those people blocked the road with wood, threatened us to take tolls, and even got into the car to steal things."
Li Xiangyang frowned: "Where did they come from? Does the police not care about them?"
Duan Hongjun said: "It's probably just the people around here. This is a no-nonsense zone. These people used to stop cars and beg for food and drinks. Later they asked for ten or twenty yuan. The big guys thought of losing money and eliminating disasters, so they gave it to them. Why?
Knowing that they have tasted the sweetness, they become more and more courageous."
The drivers of the three trucks in front came over. One of them, a tall and thin man, took out a letter of introduction and driver's license to Duan Hongjun. He took out a cigarette and gave one to the four of them. He said to Duan Hongjun: "Brother, let's go together."
Is the mountain complete?"
Duan Hongjun glanced around and asked: "Brother, how long have you been here? Have you brought anyone with you? Do you have a car to go up the mountain?"
