It takes about twenty hours to drive from here to the provincial capital.
In addition, there are two mountains to climb.
The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky.
Although many roads were built across the country after the founding of the People's Republic of China, almost all of them were surrounded by high mountains.
Relying on the firm belief that man can conquer nature and the fearless spirit of the revolutionary masses, who are not afraid of hardship and death, many winding mountain roads were opened and connected to various places.
Even if the winding mountain roads are opened, the conditions of these roads are still very bad.
Narrow places are often only big enough for one car to pass.
In some thrilling areas, the car even had half of its wheels hanging in the air.
Driving in this kind of place, experienced drivers have to be very alert and careful.
Many times, it is slower than the old ox pulling the cart.
Xiao Luo reminded: "The road in this past is dangerous. Why not take a break tonight and then cross the winding mountain road over there during the day tomorrow?"
From a security perspective, this is feasible.
But this way, this batch of goods will be delayed by two days on the road.
Xiong Yawei thought for a while: "No, we have to leave now."
In this way, you can pass the most dangerous part of the journey just before dark.
"But after dark, we have to pass through Tieguan Mountain. There are a lot of bandits in that section." A look of worry appeared on Xiao Luo's face.
"Just be careful." Xiong Yawei said: "After all, these oranges are easy to spoil if they are stored for two days."
As a co-partner, Xu Erlong naturally cannot let go of the chain.
With so many oranges collected, if they are not transported out quickly, they will be smashed into your hands. It can be said that Xiong Yawei's eagerness can be understood.
"Okay, let's go on our way now." Xu Erlong said, "No problem, I'll call a few more people."
After all, there is strength in numbers, and there are many people on your side, so those car thieves and road bullies will also have to deal with it.
As soon as he heard that he was going to the provincial capital with the car, Qian Ya kept moving closer to Xu Erlong: "I'll go, I'll go."
He had long wanted to go.
Yu Ping also said: "Erlong, I want to go too."
Huang Xiaogang didn't say anything, but he looked at Xu Erlong with pitiful eyes.
He also wants to go along.
But he knew that he was young and wouldn't be able to help much, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"There is no way, one car can only carry one more person." Xiong Yawei said.
This is already a risk.
After a lot of fighting, Qian Ya finally got the opportunity to follow the car.
He winked at Yu Ping and Huang Xiaogang with a very proud expression.
"Okay, this is to escort the car, and I'm not letting you hang out. What are you proud of?" Xu Erlong lightly kicked him.
"Even if I escort the car, I'm willing to go to the provincial capital if I have the chance." Qian Ya said.
The furthest he has gone is to the county seat.
"In the future, you will all have the opportunity to travel around the country." Xu Erlong said.
Yu Ping and Huang Xiaogang suddenly became happy.
They don't have a chance today, but the second brother has already said that in the future, they will have a chance to travel around the country.
Several people had dinner in the hotel, packed several pots of tea, and took some dry food with them on the road.
Qian Tooth was sitting in a truck in front with two other drivers.
Xu Erlong, followed by Xiong Yawei and Xiao Luo, sat in a truck at the back.
After all, if something happens to the car in front of them, they can catch up and provide support.
But their car was at the rear, which was relatively more dangerous.
Two trucks, one behind the other, set off from the county seat and began to move towards the provincial capital.
The first stretch of road leaving the county town was fairly flat.
After driving about ten kilometers further, the truck slowly turned onto the winding mountain road.
The truck drove forward slowly on the U-shaped ring road of the winding mountain road.
Xiong Yawei folded his arms and leaned on the back of the chair to fall asleep. He was also recharging his energy. This was the time to be alert in the middle of the night.
As for Xu Erlong, he was not sleepy for the time being.
Looking out from the car window, one can see the winding mountain road winding away and disappearing into the end of the mountain peak over there.
It is this kind of winding mountain road that has changed the way many people travel.
Xu Erlong was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the older generation to throw their lives and blood.
In an era when there was no machinery and underdeveloped bridge and tunnel technology, paving roads in winding mountains was a helpless choice.
This was a passage created by everyone with a hoe and a dustpan, until their hands were covered with blood blisters.
After the car drove some distance ahead, we could see that the vehicle in front had obviously slowed down.
It was a dangerous place to cross.
The first time I went out, I had missing teeth and was so bumped by the car that I almost vomited.
He sat next to the car window, looking at the cliffs outside the car window, and he was trembling in his heart.
On several occasions, he even saw the car's tires barely scraping against the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful, the car would be destroyed and people would be killed.
No wonder drivers can make a lot of money these days.
This is completely risking your life.
It suddenly dawned on me that I had missing teeth.
No wonder the second brother didn't let me follow the car before, because he thought it would be too dangerous.
Now that the speed of the car had slowed down, he simply got off the car and chose to walk.
Xiaoluo also stopped the car.
Xiong Yawei, who had recuperated his energy, opened his eyes.
After signaling Xu Erlong and Xiao Luo to get out of the car, he drove himself.
Xiao Luo was assisting at the side, guiding the truck to move forward slowly.
Xiong Yawei's driving skills were indeed good enough, and he drove the car through such a death zone without any danger.
Even Xu Erlong, a person who has lived two lifetimes, cannot withstand such a thrilling experience.
Sure enough, these days, there is no money that can be earned easily while lying down.
After passing the death zone, Xiong Yawei asked Xiao Luo to continue driving.
And he dragged out a long iron tool box from under the passenger seat.
Once the box is opened, in addition to the usual maintenance tools, there are other controlled tools.
Xiong Yawei pulled out two machetes dozens of centimeters long.
He handed a handful to Xu Erlong, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Erlong, do you dare to take this?"
Xu Erlong looked at the bright machete.
These days, machetes are everywhere.
Many thieves and pickpockets like to carry daggers, jump knives and other controlled knives with them.
Xu Erlong once had such a machete under his pillow.
Even after 1983, when regulations were issued to control knives, many people still hid them in private.
"I don't need this." Xu Erlong pushed the machete back.
He took out an iron rod directly from the tool box and checked the weight in his hand: "I'll just use this."
"Okay." Xiong Yawei breathed out lightly.
Now, he is just making preparations first, so as to be prepared for any trouble.
It is best if the auspicious stars are shining brightly on this trip and you can pass without any surprises.
Even if he does encounter some petty thieves, Xiong Yawei is confident that he can handle them.
Xu Erlong also believed in Xiong Yawei's fighting strength.
After all, when he was in prison, everyone agreed on Xiong Yawei's hand strength.
The nickname "Bear's Paw" is not deserved.
A slap in the face will make many people unable to find the north and the south.
