rebirth of cataclysm

Fang Guoping drove the Wrangler and set off towards the south of the town under the sunset.

In order to save time, neither of them had dinner, but bought some bread and biscuits to take in the car and deal with them casually.

From Liangcheng to Zhennan, you have to pass through several counties and cities, such as Lute County and Pingzhai County that belong to Liangcheng, Pohang City and Buting County and Pingyuan County under Pohang City, as well as Zhennan's own

County-level city Honghu City.

The most difficult part of the entire road is the section from Liangcheng to Buting County, not only because this section is mainly a provincial highway, but more importantly, this section of road is steep and winding.

From Buting County to Zhennan, the entire journey is basically a national highway, and it is relatively gentle and runs much faster.

Before Hu Mingchen and the two of them arrived in Lute County, it was already completely dark. Before, they could meet a car from time to time on the road, but now the cars on the road have become rarer as the sky gets darker.

"I heard before that no cars dare to run on this road at night." Fang Guoping said, holding a cigarette in his mouth and putting one hand on the window frame.

In the summer, if you open the car windows and let in the cool breeze, you will look more energetic.

"Why? Because the road is not easy to walk on?" Hu Mingchen sat in the passenger seat and simply put his hands on the window frame and rested his head on his hands to blow the air.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if the road is not easy to walk. Our drivers here always take the easy road. The key is that there are many robbers and thieves on this road. But a few years ago, we cracked down a few times, and it's fine

Much more. At that time, as long as it got dark, all the gas stations in towns and villages would be filled with passing cars, especially cars from out of town. They would rather pay the parking fee at the gas station than leave, and wait for the light to arrive with a few cars together.

Let’s go.” Fang Guoping shook his head and said.

"Of course, you have to spend some money to buy peace. Who wants to take the risk of being robbed? Once robbed, the loss will be much greater. However, this also reflects from one side that we are lagging behind poverty. Poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people.

, this sentence has been said for thousands of years, and it is not in vain." Hu Mingchen sat up and leaned on the back of the chair.

"In the past, young people had no way out. Now young people can go out to work. In fact, few people are really willing to do such illegal things."

"That's true, so we still need to find employment and find ways to make money."

Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping just chatted all the way. When the car arrived in Lute County, they stopped to fill up the tank and went to the toilet.

Pingzhai County is relatively close to Lute County. It only takes 40 to 50 minutes to drive from Lute County.

Pingzhai County is a small county compared to Liangcheng. The county's population is less than 300,000, and the county's population is only nearly 50,000.

Twenty minutes after the Wrangler drove out of Lute County, it was a difficult area with high mountains and dangerous roads. It had to pass through a place called Ergong Pass, which was even more dangerous. There were several steep slopes and sharp turns of nearly 180 degrees. And this

There is only one small village called Ergong Village in Pianshan District, which is relatively sparsely populated.

Fang Guoping slowed down the car, held the steering wheel with both hands, and carefully searched for a normal driving road in the dark night.

When their car turned out of a sharp corner, Fang Guoping immediately braked.

"It's over. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while."

Hu Mingchen also discovered the situation, "I guess it's true."

It turned out that in front of them, there was a large truck crossing the middle of the road, and there was a man lying under the truck, making trouble.

Fang Guoping parked the car six or seven meters away from the big car: "You sit in the car, and I will go up and see what's going on."

"Don't you think it's safer if I go with you?" Hu Mingchen opened the passenger door and said.

Fang Guoping thought so and nodded.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Fang Guoping knelt down and asked.

The man under the car climbed out from under the car: "Unlucky, there's something wrong with the brakes. You probably won't be able to leave in a short time. I advise you to either go back to Lute and stay for one night, or go back to Lute and go around."

Let’s walk.”

"If we want to take a detour, we can only go to Jianyin County. The distance is 70 to 80 kilometers longer." Fang Guoping said.

"Eighty-five kilometers more, almost two hours' journey." The truck driver said.

He travels these roads all year round and is quite familiar with these routes.

"Master, can't you fix it now? We still have to go back to Lute. The time spent going back and forth is not two hours, but three hours." Hu Mingchen said.

"There's no way, I can't do it well. I have to find someone to come over tomorrow during the day. I don't have all the tools and I don't have any parts." The master wiped his body with his oily hands.

"Then why don't we take you back to Lute County and find a car repair shop? Maybe some repair shops haven't closed yet." Hu Mingchen couldn't bear it when he saw the embarrassment of the big truck driver.

, like giving him a hand.

"That's it. It's a good relationship. I'm like this...your car...I'm afraid it will be stained." The cart master pointed to his clothes and then to

Hu Mingchen said a little embarrassed about their car.

"Haha, what's the matter? If it's dirty, it's dirty. Just wash it. It doesn't matter." Hu Mingchen said nonchalantly.

"Let's go. If it's too late, we might not be able to find anyone." When the driver looked at him, Fang Guoping followed.

Fang Guoping was Hu Mingchen's driver. It was impossible for him to say anything when Hu Mingchen had already made up his mind.

The truck driver thanked him profusely and followed Hu Mingchen's Wrangler. After reversing the truck and turning around, they returned to Lute County again.

However, many car repair shops and repair shops in the county town were now closed after get off work. They walked around the county town twice before they found a repair shop with the lights still on in the alley opposite the county bus station.

As soon as he heard that he was going out of town overnight to repair his car, the owner of the car repair shop shook his head.

"It's so far, on the Ergong Pass, and it might take an entire night. You'd better ask others."

"Boss, please help me. My brakes are broken. You go there and it can be done in a few hours. It won't be too delayed." The truck driver begged.

"I really don't want to go. The workers have all left work and the place is not safe at night. You should find someone else." The car repair boss continued to refuse.

"How can it be unsafe now? I often take this road. Just go and help repair it. At worst, I will pay you more." In order to solve the trouble as soon as possible, the truck driver gritted his teeth and said.

"Then can you give me a lot more?" When he heard that he was willing to pay more, the car repair boss' attitude softened immediately.

These days, everyone who opens a business is just for money. Who would want to struggle with money? Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. This saying has more practical significance today.

"I'll give you five hundred more." The truck driver touched his pocket and said through gritted teeth.

"One thousand more. As you said just now about the condition of your car, just repairing the car will cost you one thousand. If you add another thousand, I will do it for a total of two thousand. Otherwise, you can find someone else." The car repair boss has a big appetite.

This guy is a bit taking advantage of others, but there are not many people who don't take advantage of others these days. Since they came to find someone to repair their car late at night, and the truck broke down on the road outside the city, of course the boss would seize this opportunity to speak out.

In the eyes of these car repair bosses, big car drivers are also rich people. A big car costs hundreds of thousands, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Even if the car is not your own, if you drive it for the boss, you can still get reimbursed for the repairs.

In addition, the unit price for repairing large cars is often high, so car repair shops are the most popular.

What I like to do is the business of big cars. In contrast, small cars are not prone to problems. Even if there are problems, as long as the car is not too good or the problem is too serious, the price is usually not very expensive. Of course, a car that is too good,

They won't let it be repaired in a no-name store like theirs.

"Boss, I only have one thousand and fifteen dollars with me, so please do me a favor. This time I went out and bought all the money, so there isn't much left." The truck driver said with a grimace.

"Two thousand, you can take it as long as you want." The owner of the car repair shop looked arrogant as if he had a rare commodity.

"Okay, I'll help him pay the five hundred, pack up your tools and go." Hu Mingchen couldn't help but said.

Hu Mingchen really wasn't willing to be screwed by this kind of person, but now it was difficult to find another master, so he might as well just do it to the end and admit it.

"Really, we've agreed, it's two thousand." Upon hearing that Hu Mingchen was willing to give him five hundred more, the car repair boss was immediately elated.

"Yes, yes, just two thousand." Hu Mingchen said impatiently.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll load the tools into the pickup truck."

In order to take orders from the road, these car repairmen will either prepare a pickup truck or a van to carry tools and equipment, such as air compressors, large jacks, various tool parts, and even various equipment.

Plant oil and stuff like that.

Hu Mingchen and the others waited for about ten minutes. The boss packed up the things, closed the store door, and followed Hu Mingchen and the others in the pickup truck.

"Thank you very much. I really feel sorry for you being so helpful and providing money. Where are you in Liangcheng? I will send the money to you when the time comes." In the car, the truck driver was very embarrassed and moved.

road.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few hundred yuan. It's a small thing, don't take it to heart. Who doesn't have a difficult time when you are away from home all year round?" Hu Mingchen said, waving his hands.

Hu Mingchen either doesn't help, or if he helps, he won't expect anything in return. Five hundred yuan is not much anyway.

After arriving at the location, the repair driver climbed under the truck to take a look at the situation. It was indeed similar to what the truck driver said. It didn't take much effort.

With the help of Hu Mingchen's Wrangler lights and the help of the truck driver, it only took about fifty minutes to replace two parts and the car was repaired.

"Okay, the car is done. You can drive away. The brakes will be fine for thousands of kilometers this time. Please pay me." The car repairman wiped his hands with paper and stretched out his hand proudly.
