The road to Jingshan is not easy to walk, and most of it is dirt roads.
Sometimes when Ren Xiaosu was sitting in the truck bed, he would see occasional cement roads on the ground, but those roads had long since broken apart for unknown reasons and became dilapidated.
Mr. Zhang from Ren Xiaosu Tingxuetang mentioned before that these cement roads were left over from before the Catastrophic Era. Now, I don’t know how many years have passed since the roadbed has been damaged, and most of the roads are even buried by soil.
Nowadays, the "big road" with all the barriers connected is almost the same, except that there are relatively more vehicles, and the dirt road will be smoother.
In fact, there are not many vehicles traveling between the barriers. Ren Xiaosu and the others can see outside vehicles coming to Barrier 113 ten times a year in the market town, which is quite a lot. .
The wilderness is not desolate. On the contrary, after starting from the market town, you only need to go through the first few dozen kilometers. As far as you can see, it is lush green, and the vegetation has grown more and more luxuriantly in recent years.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that this was not a bad thing. Food was usually scarce in the market town. If you couldn’t eat meat, you should eat more vegetables. He had noticed that even the cabbage grown by Zhang Jinglin was better than before. A little higher.
Ren Xiaosu also specifically asked Zhang Jinglin if he had applied fertilizer, but Zhang Jinglin said no.
This is a good thing. Maybe one potato can be eaten by a family of three in the future...
When Liu Bu asked Ren Xiaosu to sit in the back of the pickup truck, he probably never expected that Ren Xiaosu would What to do.
The food and water they brought from the barrier were placed in the truck compartment. There was no need to lock this thing, it was just wrapped in oilcloth.
Ren Xiaosu sat in the carriage and curiously opened the oilcloth and took a look, and saw the word "biscuit". Then he opened another oilcloth and saw bottled water...
Due to the bumps, the car didn’t drive very fast on the road. You must know that what this band fears most is not encountering any wild beasts. After all, they are now accompanied by twelve soldiers from the private army, and they are all loaded with guns and ammunition. , there is no need to worry too much about beasts.
There has indeed been trouble with wolves before, but the wolves have long since fled away. The mountain they are hiding in is hundreds of kilometers away from here, so there is no need to worry about them suddenly coming back.
According to the experience of the Refuge Barrier, they have to rest and recuperate for at least a year before returning to this area.
So what the team is most worried about right now is what to do if the car breaks down.
Half of the soldiers from these private units have learned how to repair cars, but it is impossible for them to take a complete set of parts with them on the road.
It is better to travel slowly than to walk over.
During this period, Ren Xiaosu had to get out of the car for a convenience, so that the entire convoy had to stop and wait for him. This made the people in the convoy even more dissatisfied with him, but Ren Xiaosu didn't care. Faced with everyone's attitude toward him, The complaining look is the same as that of someone who has nothing to do.
The convoy continued to drive. At noon, when the convoy stopped, Liu Bu jumped out of the car first. He smiled happily and said: "I have been in the barrier for a long time. Come out and take a look at this vast landscape." The scenery is really refreshing."
A soldier from the private army said with a smile: "Isn't that true? It's boring to be in the barrier all the time."
In fact, the journey started. Everyone is like this. They are in the mood to see the scenery, chat and laugh, but in a few days they probably won't be like this anymore.
When Ren Xiaosu went hunting in the past, he felt very comfortable on the first day...
Liu Bu asked everyone to get out of the car and said, "Everyone, get out of the car and have something to eat. Eat something." Let’s continue on our way and try to get to Yunling before dark. We went there last time and there is an open space suitable for camping.”
People on the off-road vehicles were chatting and laughing. After getting out of the car, several soldiers from the private army gathered together to smoke, and everyone had a satisfied expression on their faces.
Liu Bu greeted the staff and walked to the pickup truck together. He couldn't control these soldiers. The reason why he invited twelve soldiers from the private army for this trip was not because of his and Luo Xinyu's dignity, but because of them. The band was originally here to cover these private troops in their missions!
In this case, others may think that he, Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu are too proud, but they themselves have to understand the importance.
As Liu Bu walked towards the pickup truck, he said to the band staff beside him: "Let these military men disperse the cigarettes we brought later."
"Okay, how much do you want to give them?" the staff member asked.
"Let's take out one first. Didn't we bring ten? Take your time and don't rush," Liu Bu said with a smile: "There are new faces this time. Everyone will be familiar with each other in a few days." It's easy to get along with me."
At this moment, Liu Bu came to the back of the pickup truck, and he was shocked when he turned around: "Fuck, Ren Xiaosu, what are you doing!"
Ren Xiaosu! Looking at Liu Bu: "Don't be so surprised, I didn't do anything! Hiccup!"
After eating a little and couldn't hold it back, Ren Xiaosu stood up, moved his body, and patted himself on the way. The biscuit crumbs on his body...
Liu Bu picked up the truck body and looked inside. His heart ached at that moment: "Are you a pig? How can you eat so well? You ate five packs of biscuits in one morning!" ?"
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu has never been so full in a long time. In the poorest days, he always clung to Yan Liuyuan to eat. The rich days were just a matter of these few days, and he didn't have the chance. What a luxury...
And the biscuits these people brought were delicious, some were sweet and some were salty.
You must know that salt and sugar are luxuries in the market town. Normally, Ren Xiaosu and the others eat dry boiled potatoes and the like. How can they eat such delicious food? You still drink so much water...
"Look at how your stomach has been eaten," Liu Bu roared angrily: "You must have been here for four months, right? You can't hold it back." Are you feeling uncomfortable? ”
Ren Xiaosu said angrily: "You asked me to sit in this carriage, didn't you? But when you say that, it really makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Ren Xiaosu got out of the car after saying that. He ran away: "You guys eat, I'll take a shit."
When Ren Xiaosu ran away, only Liu Bu and the others were left messy in the wind of the wilderness.
A band staff hesitated and said, "Shall we let him sit in the car?"
Liu Bu glared: "Why should we let him sit in the car?" What qualifications does a refugee have to sit with us, huh?"
The staff member immediately weakened, but he still muttered: "Let him stay in the truck bed for two more days. God, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it through Barrier 112..."
When Liu Bu heard this, he roughly estimated Ren Xiaosu's appetite, and then sighed: "We really can't make it through... ”
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to let Ren Xiaosu sit in the car.
However, when Ren Xiaosu came back, he was not happy to hear that he was asked to sit in the car: "I don't want to sit in the car, why should I sit with you, I am a refugee!"
"Let me go and let me be with my biscuits!"
"You are still not human!"
In the end, everyone worked together to get him into the car. It's all over...
