Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Uneven Journey
Han Jing scratched the back of his head and replied modestly, "Nothing." He added, "Ye Yu also took the test at about the same time as me, and it took her less time than me."
Ye Yu drove very smoothly during the assessment. The assessor said that he might not be as good as her. You should know that the assessor's car was older than Ye Yu herself, and he had driven for leaders before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Moreover, the motor vehicle driver's license they took was a tricky one. Although both have four wheels, there is still a difference between trucks and cars. It's just that the levels are not so subdivided now. For safety reasons, at least they cannot drive a truck.
The two drivers were even more surprised. They had heard of female tractor drivers, whose stories were so popular that they could be published in newspapers, but this was the first time they had seen a female driver.
Ye Yu:
“…”
Fortunately, the current assessment focuses on driving skills. People who have driven fast are certainly not afraid, but after the traffic rules are improved, it will take some effort for her to pass.
However, even though Han Jing said that they knew cars, especially Ye Yu's excellent car repair skills, no matter how much he praised them, the two drivers just agreed with him. They didn't dare to let them get in. The main reason was that they looked too young and it was too risky to ride in the car they drove.
Ye Yu regretfully turned her eyes away from the driver's seat. Of the three seats in front, the driver's seat was the only one she wanted to sit in, firstly because it was spacious, and secondly because she could touch the steering wheel.
At seven o'clock, after having a decent breakfast in the factory cafeteria, the truck set off.
The two drivers sat in the front, while Ye Yu and Han Jing sat in the back compartment. Since there was not much cargo, they had a fairly spacious space, enough for two long benches.
It’s just that the roads here are not smooth at all. The cement roads in the city are not smooth at all, not to mention the roads outside the city, which are mostly gravel roads. Potholes are the norm, and going up and down the slopes can really make people feel like they are flying.
Han Jing envied Ye Yu and Ye Yu's bench, which seemed to be unaffected. Even if it flew up, it could return to its original position steadily. He could also look left and right at the surrounding scenery, or eat some melon seeds or practice some strange martial arts.
But he couldn't do it. The bumps would separate him from the bench. He would just move the bench away and sit in the car, not daring to take his hands off the handrails.
By the time I got off the bus at noon, I felt so uncomfortable all over. My muscles were more sore and tired than after walking for a whole day. It was a bit like I had rolled down the mountain.
My knees hit the metal plates a few times. Although there was no redness, swelling or bleeding, there were definitely a few bruises.
Han Jing frowned and looked at his trembling hands holding the lunch box. The two drivers opposite laughed.
The driver was not surprised by his behavior, or rather, such behavior was normal in their eyes, and Ye Yu's behavior was an anomaly.
They finally believed what Han Jing had said before, that this young and beautiful female educated youth was very capable.
The driver had originally thought of letting the female educated youth who couldn't stand the hardship sit in the front at noon, but the result was unexpected. They couldn't let Han Jing sit in the front and leave the female educated youth in the back, so he touched his head a little confused.
“Persistence is victory.”
Han Jing encouraged himself and was full of positive energy, although Ye Yu didn't quite understand what he was fighting against.
I had lunch in the canteen of the blower factory. The big lunch box contained 2 to 3 taels of steamed buns, an eggplant with minced meat, and two pure vegetarian dishes.
Ye Yu and Han Jing also bought a portion in the canteen with the workers, with the bills discounted by half. They also took out the shredded pork and dried meat prepared by Hua Feifei to share with the driver.
This "they" mainly refers to Han Jing.
Although Ye Yu has become more generous now, she is not yet in the habit of sharing what is in her bowl, and this little generosity of hers is only directed at her own people.
Facing Han Jing's lunch box, Master Chen and Master Zhao only picked up two or three pieces of meat shreds smaller than a fingernail, chewed them carefully twice, and praised it as good.
Han Jing had meat every day, and even if there was no meat, there was always broth. He almost forgot his normal life. At this moment, he deeply realized how happy it was to live in the same educated youth compound with Ye Yu.
Even the top three professions - drivers - cannot compare with them. Han Jing's family is wealthy, and his grandfather is a big leader, but they cannot compare with them.
In the afternoon, the journey continued.
However, both drivers were not as relaxed as they were in the morning. One of them drove as usual, while the other was concentrating on looking at the surrounding environment.
This certainly can't be seeing new scenery.
After making dozens or even hundreds of trips back and forth, they have already seen all the scenery along the way.
When Master Chen sees fallen trees or rocks blocking the road at an intersection, he becomes particularly nervous and basically crosses the road whenever possible without getting out of the car.
When the car unfortunately breaks down, the patient will breathe rapidly and become extremely nervous.
Han Jing wanted to ask if they needed help, but seeing that the two drivers had very complete toolboxes, and one was repairing while the other was handing it over, they worked in perfect harmony, so he stepped aside and watched silently like Ye Yu.
When the two patched figures appeared in sight, both masters were holding steel bars in their hands.
Han Jing was a little silly, but not stupid. He wanted to greet strangers warmly, but he also noticed the tension of the situation.
The two locals in front of him were obviously not there to say hello, and the word "carjacking" entered his mind for the first time.
There was a carjacking?
"Of course, quite a few."
Because the cargo on their truck was all machinery, they were able to start the car again smoothly. While driving, Master Chen explained loudly to Han Jing and Ye Yu.
Being a driver is indeed a very enviable job, not only because they can be in contact with cars, but also because their working hours are relatively flexible, they have longer rest time, they can see the scenery everywhere, and they have high wages and benefits.
But the risks are also high.
It's not just the accident rate, but more importantly the rate of carjacking on the road. It's okay if the goods are lost, but sometimes even the people are gone. At most, the car can be found, but the carjacker may not be caught.
Little-known fact: there were still bandits after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Bandits, like landlords, were the key targets of the state's crackdown, and they consumed more manpower than fighting landlords.
In the 1950s and even in the early 1960s, there were several nationally famous anti-bandit campaigns, some of which were even made into red TV dramas.
Although there are no bandits in the open sense now, ordinary people can become bandits when the benefits are sufficient. This section of the road is a high-risk area.
Han Jing's face wrinkled up when he heard this, but Ye Yu was very calm. He had seen many people turning into ghosts. It happened almost every day in the early days of the apocalypse. Those who survived the apocalypse were either cold-hearted or ghosts.
Maybe they were just unlucky.
We encountered robbers again, and this time was different from the last time which was just an accident. This time there were really trees blocking the road, and there were more than just two people exploring the way.
Seven or eight strong men did not hide at all, but squatted at the intersection.
The four were forced to get off the bus.
As soon as she got off the car, Ye Yu could clearly feel people's eyes scanning her. She always hated such looks the most. They made her feel sick and her supernatural powers boiled.
Master Chen and Master Zhao were still talking with these people. Generally speaking, there was nothing eye-catching in their cars. It was customary for them to pay a small toll and pass. After all, these bandits did not dare to be as ostentatious as before.
But they happened to offend Ye Yu, and it was not them who could get over it, but her who could not get over it.
Ye Yu took out some dried meat from his pocket and put it into his mouth to chew. He could feel that their eyes were staring even more intently.
This road is not so easy to pass.
What?
The meat remains?
Some people laughed and said that people should stay?
"Hehe, no."
Ye Yu smiled sweetly, and the bandits were stunned. Not to mention them, Han Jing was also stunned. He had never seen Ye Yu smile so gently. His head was dizzy, and at the same time, an unprecedented intuition rushed up -
Someone is going to be in trouble.
But what does this have to do with him? These people really need to be taught a lesson!
When a strong man stretched out his hand, Ye Yu was like a ghost in a horror movie, swimming lightly and quickly into the crowd, kicking all of them away.
One, two, three... After seven screams, the seven people piled up on top of each other.
That’s not all.
Ye Yu stepped on the tallest of them and interrogated them about what bad things they had done.
Of course, no one is sincere at first.
But these people were not professional agents, and it didn't take long for Ye Yu to learn from them about the disgusting and bad things they had done. He gave Han Jing a look, and Han Jing immediately took out a pen and notebook from his pocket and wrote it down.
This pen and notebook were gifts from Xu Fei, who asked him to record his experiences.
Maybe this experience is different from what Xu Fei imagined, but it is also one of his experiences.
What made Ye Yu feel a little fortunate was that at least there were no educated youth from outside the country in the production team where these people were located. But if you think about it, how many educated youth would have gone to the countryside across the country in the past ten years? Sooner or later, there would be some in their village and team. Getting rid of them in advance would definitely be a gift for the educated youth who would come later.
After roughly noting down their crimes, Han Jing tied them up like grasshoppers with ropes at Ye Yu's suggestion, and kicked them several times in the process.
Ye Yu threw the bunch of grasshoppers into the car and looked at the two drivers whose mouths were wide open and pupils were dizzy. When she looked at them, they all trembled.
“…”
This is not some pretty female educated youth, she is simply a demon... a hero, uh uh, a hero.
Ye Yu suggested sending these people to the police station, but not the nearby police station. It was not because she had to suspect that the officials were in cahoots with the gangsters, but because there were some things and some human nature that she was too lazy to test. In the final analysis, it could be summed up in one word - lazy.
Do the two drivers dare to refuse?
I dare not.
And catching such a bandit is also a good thing for them.
So the vehicle took a slightly longer route and sent these people to the county police station first. The county police station was very confused by this unexpected performance.
They knew there were bandits, but often by the time they knew it, an accident had already happened and reconnaissance was needed. Moreover, the villagers where bandits existed protected each other and were really difficult to catch. They never expected that one day the bandits would overturn their car.
They promised to get to the bottom of the matter and were cracking down on it. These people had committed so many mistakes that they would either be shot or sent to a farm for life.
