Chapter 890 The car broke down halfway
Before noon, the slaughtered beef and mutton were loaded onto the truck.
Captain Ma led his men to check all the vehicles, and even exchanged some fodder with the herdsmen to load them together, for fear that if something went wrong on the way, the cattle and sheep that had not been slaughtered in time would starve to death.
After a simple lunch and bidding farewell to our guide Bater, the convoy set off back.
Just like when they came, Chuxue and Sister Jiang took Xu Chengkun's car.
But before we ran far, snow started falling.
Before long, the snow became heavier and the wind started to pick up. The car's sealing was not very good at this time, and the biting cold wind rushed into the car through the gaps, making people shiver.
Chuxue and Sister Jiang huddled together and put on the same military coats again.
Sister Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Luckily you brought an extra military coat, otherwise we would have been frozen into popsicles."
Chuxue was lucky enough to have cheated in the space and hid a hot water bottle in her clothes, so she didn't suffer as much as the others: "My case is nothing, but Sister Huang brought a blanket with her, and it will come in handy now."
The sister Huang they were talking about was wrapped in a quilt at the moment, and she wanted to share half of it with the person next to her, but there was a difference between men and women after all. If someone didn't control their mouth one day, they would never be able to wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
I just didn’t expect the snow to get heavier and heavier, which is not only a test for the driver’s driving skills, but also a test for his eyesight.
After a brief stop to let everyone take care of their groceries, Captain Ma held a brief meeting. "While it's still light and the road is still relatively flat, let's drive a little further. Even if we can't get to TPSQ, we can get to Zhenglanqi. This road is definitely going to be difficult, so everyone must pay attention to safety."
Naturally, no one would be so ignorant as to object. When they set off again, all the drivers on the bus had changed positions.
The driver of Chuxue's car was an experienced driver.
As soon as he got in the car, Sister Jiang greeted him, "Master Qi, it's your turn to drive."
Master Qi nodded at them and said, "It must have been very tiring for my eyes to come all the way here. Let Cheng Kun have a rest."
But they were dreaming too much. The journey became even more difficult due to the heavy snow. The average speed could not even reach 25 kilometers per hour. What's more, one of the cars in the middle broke down, so the convoy had to stop.
After checking for a long time, I found that it was a coolant leak, but it was impossible to find suitable parts in the middle of nowhere.
The driver said, "Captain, why don't you go ahead and see if you can find the spare parts at Zhenglan Banner ahead, or you can send them back tomorrow."
Captain Ma was in a dilemma. If the incident of last night happened again, it would be too dangerous for only this car to stay, but it was not possible for the convoy to stay with him either. If he had to leave several of the cars behind, who should he leave with?
At this time, Chu Xue got out of the car. She had already used her mental power to hear their words: "Captain Ma, I have some soap here. Why don't we try to block it temporarily and hold on to the Zhenglan Banner ahead?"
When Captain Ma heard this, surprise flashed across his face: "Do you have soap?"
Chuxue nodded and handed over the soap in her hand.
As Captain Ma took it, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you come up with this idea?"
Chuxue put her hand to her mouth and blew out a breath as she said, "Soap is relatively soft and can be easily shaped. I thought if soap could fill the gaps, it should be able to prevent the coolant from leaking."
We got to work right away, and by the time it had been a while, the engine and cooling system had cooled down enough to not burn our hands.
