After forcing Wukong, who was unwilling to enter the car, into the back seat of the car, Liu Dong slammed the car door, turned on the ignition, and drove the broken pickup truck that made a clanging noise and seemed to be about to fall apart at any time.
The road to Ulaanbaatar is heading into the distance.
After working hard day and night for two days, Liu Dong finally arrived in Ulaanbaatar in fear. Thank God, the broken pickup truck did not get stuck halfway.
Otherwise, he would really have no choice but to walk here.
Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia, the country's political, economic, cultural, transportation, industrial, and technological center. It is also the largest city in Mongolia with a population of more than 1.3 million.
Here is the vehicle Liu Dong needs most at this moment.
However, after looking at the few car shops in Ulaanbaatar, Liu Dong decisively decided to repair his Hummer and make do with it.
The main reason for this is that in these car shops, they are all Korean and Japanese cars. Korean cars are fine, but there are no large-space vehicles such as off-road vehicles, allowing Liu Dong to shoot them all in an instant.
With the size of the lion head and tiger head, ordinary hatchbacks simply cannot fit them.
Among Japanese cars, there are Toyota Overlords and Land Cruisers to choose from, but Liu Dong does not want to contribute to the Japanese economy.
Therefore, he found a deserted hiding place on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. After moving the Hummer out of the mustard space, he used the broken pickup truck he bought to drag the Hummer to a house he had long been optimistic about.
of car repair shop.
Of course, Liu Dong, who only planned to repair a few tires and check the brakes, did not find any big manufacturers.
"Fix your car"
Seeing Liu Dong parking his car in front of the door, a young Mongolian boy ran over quickly and asked in proficient Mongolian.
However, because the tiger heads and lion heads in the bed of the pickup truck were too large, the young man who looked a little frightened did not come closer.
"Yeah, should I drive over?"
Liu Dong pointed to a platform not far away specially built for car repairs.
"certainly"
After listening and nodding, Liu Dong turned the steering wheel and pulled the Hummer behind him to the vehicle repair platform.
In fact, this so-called car repair platform is a place repaired with cement and red bricks. It is 80 centimeters wide, high on both sides, and the middle is more than one meter deep into the ground. There are steps in the front and back for people to go up and down.
Because there is no mechanical device, car repairmen have to get into the ground of the car to make repairs more conveniently.
"ah"
Looking at the lion head and tiger head, after jumping out of the car, the young man kept retreating with a horrified expression. After Liu Dong stepped forward and touched the big heads of his two pets, he smiled at them and said: "Don't worry, as long as
If you don't mess with them, they won't bite you."
"Zhizhi"
Wukong jumped from the car onto Liu Dong's shoulders. Seeing the young man's frightened and embarrassed look, a sarcastic look appeared on his palm-sized monkey face.
Perhaps it was because he was laughed at by a monkey that the young man became a little angry. Although he didn't say much, his face was finally not as horrified as before. But there was still a strong sense of wariness in his eyes.
In response, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say much. He was afraid that this kind of emotion could not be cured by just a few words of comfort.
"My car is parked, are you the one who repaired it?" Liu Dong said.
"No, my master will repair it for you. Please wait." After saying that, the young man quickly ran into the messy room at the back where various car parts were placed. After a while, there was a man about fifty years old, who was covered in dust and oil.
A middle-aged man with dark skin walked out.
"Oh, what a big two Tibetan mastiffs"
No matter at any time, the heads of lions and tigers, which are as large as ligers, are the first to attract others' attention.
However, to Liu Dong's surprise, the middle-aged man's face did not show much fear because of seeing the lion's head and tiger's head. He just looked at it with interest and then focused his attention.
When it comes to Liu Dong, "It's you who wants to repair the car."
"Yes"
After nodding, the middle-aged man walked to Liu Dong's Hummer and took a brief look at it, then said again: "I just heard Batu say that in addition to repairing the tires, you also need to check the brake system, right?"
"Well, this should be no problem."
"It's no problem. But I've never seen your car before. It's definitely no problem to repair the tires. I don't know if it's possible to check the brakes."
In Ulaanbaatar, which is not much better than an ordinary county town in China, it is not surprising that the car repairman has never seen a Hummer.
"Why don't you take a look first? If it really can't be repaired, you can just repair the tire," Liu Dong said.
"Okay then, open the front door and let me take a look."
After nodding, Liu Dong opened the front box cover and asked the middle-aged man to check it.
After the inspection, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong with a strange expression and said bluntly: "Are you driving this car as a tank? It's worn out like this and you haven't even repaired it."
"Haha, didn't you care?" Liu Dong smiled awkwardly.
He also knew that he had traveled through the Gobi Desert some time ago and had put a lot of stress on this Hummer.
"You are really lucky." After shaking his head speechlessly, the middle-aged boss said again, "If you still want to drive this car, I suggest you stay and have it properly inspected, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."
"no problem"
Liu Dong agreed immediately. He also knew that his car should be properly overhauled.
After nodding, the middle-aged boss took one last look at the car parts inside the front cover of the car, then put it down with a bang. He clapped his hands, looked Liu Dong up and down, and asked, "He's from China."
"how do you know"
"You don't look like a Mongolian. In addition, apart from China, most of the yellow people who can come to Ulaanbaatar are South Korea and Japan. The Japanese are as tall as short mules. When talking to others, they are very polite.
His waist is bent, or his nostrils are pointed upward, as if everyone owes him two million. As for the Korean, he has a big pancake face and an authentic smell of pickled vegetables in Mongolian." At the end of the sentence, the shop owner shook his head,
There was a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Listening to the analysis of the middle-aged boss, Liu Dong recalled the Koreans and Japanese he had met and found that this was really the case.
"Looking at your tone, you are also Chinese," Liu Dong said curiously.
"Um"
After nodding, "But I have been in Mongolia for more than 20 years. Except for a visit to my hometown in Hebei in the early 1990s, I have never been back since then. I don't know how it has become now."
Looking at this old overseas Chinese or Chinese with blurry eyes, Liu Dong could feel the attachment to his motherland and his hometown.
"Now that the country is open and the transportation is convenient, if you really want to go back and have a look, it will be very easy," Liu Dong said.
"If you can't go back, you won't have any relatives at home. Why go back?" After shaking his head, the middle-aged man turned to Liu Dong and said, "It's getting late today. If you don't mind, just stay here."
Bar"
"You also own the hotel next door."
Hearing this, Liu Dong pointed to the two-story hotel next to the car repair shop, with a simple Taitong Hotel standing at the door in Chinese and Mongolian languages and asked.
"Well, otherwise, why would I let you stay?"
Seeing the middle-aged boss nodding, Liu Dong naturally had no reason to disagree. Although there must be hotels in Ulaanbaatar that are several times more luxurious than this hotel, but with the lion and tiger heads beside him, it was still a question whether he could stay in it.
question.
Although the conditions of this small hotel are simple, it is always a place to stay.
Moreover, he was about to leave Ulaanbaatar soon, so Liu Dong didn't bother to bother him.
As long as you have a place to live and the car is repaired, that's it.
"Thank you very much, I'll stay here," Liu Dong said quickly.
"You don't need to thank me. Although we are all Chinese, I won't give you free money. You have to pay for the rent and car repairs."
“Of course, that’s no problem”
Liu Dong agreed immediately. Money was just a small problem for him.
After nodding, the middle-aged man turned to the young man standing in the distance who was still a little scared and shouted: "Batu, look at your kid's courage, come here quickly and take him to the hotel to stay."
"Uncle Li, I have an urgent need to urinate."
"You're in a hurry to pee, come over here"
“I didn’t realize that this boss is still a hot-tempered boss.”
After seeing the boss surnamed Li walking over, grabbing the young man's ears and carrying him over, Liu Dong thought a little funny in his heart.
"Go quickly and help me repair the car when you come back."
"knew"
Batu, who was touching his ears, still didn't dare to get too close to Liu Dong. After saying hello, he walked ahead.
Regarding Batu's fear, Liu Dong smiled and said nothing. After saying hello to Boss Li, Liu Dong took out some luggage that he had left outside in the car, took the lion head and
Tiger Head, holding Wukong on his shoulders, walked towards the small hotel next to it.
The hotel is not big and there are not many rooms, and most of them are four-person rooms. Although the cleaning is very clean, Liu Dong is not willing to share a room with others. After all, he has a lot of secrets. Moreover, there is a lion
With Tou and Hu Tou together, I'm afraid no one would want to live in the same room with him.
However, there are definitely no single rooms in this hotel, so a double room became Liu Dong's only choice.
After Batu handed the room key to Liu Dong, he briefly told him some details about eating, drinking, and taking a break, and then left in a hurry.
Because it was getting late, and Liu Dong had not had much rest after traveling for such a long time.
Therefore, after taking out the food stored in the Mustard Seed space and feeding the lion head, tiger head, and Wukong next to him, Liu Dong also ate some himself and went to bed early.
To be continued.
