Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Leaving
*
"Brother Gang, Brother Gang!"
In the evening when dusk was setting, a companion brought the meal. Gang Ge, who was on duty in the underground parking lot, had just put the bowl in his mouth, and before he could take a bite, a burst of ghostly howling sounds suddenly came from the front.
The sound echoed layer by layer. Gang Ge rubbed his aching ears and sighed helplessly, "It's time for dinner and trouble comes. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with my ancestors?"
The footsteps came from far away, and a half-grown boy ran into the parking lot along the anti-slip ramp.
He was sweating profusely from the heat, but when he saw Brother Gang sitting in the corner, his eyes lit up instantly. He didn't seem to feel tired at all and ran to Brother Gang, panting.
"Brother Gang, people, people..."
The young man spoke hurriedly, as if he had something urgent to report, even without taking a breath.
But because he was running too fast, he spoke incoherently, taking two breaths after each word, and there was no way he could communicate effectively.
Gang Ge waved his hand, picked up a half-full bottle of water from his feet and handed it to the boy, "Why are you in such a hurry? Take a break. Didn't I tell you not to be impatient and to speak clearly?"
The boy did not take the half bottle of water, but shook his head to refuse. He took two deep breaths and spoke again: "The people are back. Those outsiders who drove the bus, they--"
"Oh? You're really back?" Gang Ge suddenly became interested and hurriedly chased after the boy and asked, "Where are you? Why don't you let them drive the car in?"
"They are now parked at the entrance of the park. They don't want to come in, so they asked me to call you out. Oh, yes, and asked you to call Brother Liang too." The young man said truthfully.
Gang Ge's mouth twitched, "Ha, these guys are quite cunning. Go, go call Liang Zhao out, the ransom has been paid, it's time to release the hostages."
Before I finished my bowl of porridge, Liang Zhao hurried over.
He was carrying a backpack and a few pieces of luggage, looking like he couldn't wait to leave. Gang Ge didn't want to let people wait, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the underground parking lot with Liang Zhao.
The parking lot is not far from the park entrance, about five minutes away. Brother Gang saw from afar the bus and business car parked on the side of the road, as well as three people standing in front of the car waiting without fear of the heat.
"Long time no see, you are finally back."
Brother Gang greeted them from afar, with a smile on his face, and walked quickly towards the three people.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Zhao, who was walking side by side with him, suddenly quickened his pace, left him behind, and walked towards the three people at the speed of lightning.
Three days apart feels like three years.
Old friends reunited happily, chatting and laughing, and the protagonist of this transaction was completely forgotten.
About three or five minutes later, after Gu Mengran finished reminiscing about the past with Liang Zhao, he finally remembered Brother Gang who was standing beside him.
"Sorry, Gang, I kept you waiting."
Gu Mengran nodded to Gang Ge apologetically, then pointed to the bus parked on the side of the road and said with a smile: "Luckily, the wheat was brought back successfully. Do you want to get on the bus to take a look or just ask someone to unload it?"
"Good boy, you are really capable!" Brother Gang reached out and patted Gu Mengran on the shoulder, grinning and laughing, "Let's take a look. If you don't look, how do you know how many people to call?"
"That makes sense." Gu Mengran smiled politely.
It was so hot that Gu Mengran only wanted to deliver the goods and leave, but Gang Ge insisted on getting on the bus to see what was going on. He had no choice but to let the others wait on the side of the road and took Gang Ge straight to the two buses.
“Squeak——”
Press the remote control key and the front door of the bus slowly slides towards the body of the bus.
As the owner of the car, Gu Mengran did not get in. He stepped back two steps to make room for Brother Gang, "Brother Gang, please. The car is a bit crowded. I won't get in."
Crowded? A bus is not a car, where can you squeeze in?
Brother Gang looked at him suspiciously and stepped onto the bus.
Two steps, completely different views. After Gang Ge got on the bus and stood at the door, he just glanced casually and blurted out a cry of surprise: "Fuck!"
The seats, aisles, luggage racks... bulging woven bags were everywhere. The originally spacious carriage was packed tightly, except for the driver's seat, which still had a little room for movement. The entire carriage had no place to step, and it was impossible to squeeze in.
This is too much. Is the bag full of wheat?
Brother Gang was stunned because he didn't hold much hope from the beginning.
After the disaster, resources were scarce, and it was not easy to get supplies from other people's territory. He did not expect this group of people to bring back much wheat, and he was willing to pay for four vehicles just to take a gamble, betting on whether these outsiders had the courage and ability.
Jiujie does not accept outsiders, but outsiders with abilities are welcome.
We were prepared to lose four vehicles, but who would have thought that only three people from the other side would bring back such a large amount of wheat in just three days.
Gang Ge was already in a state of panic, but his face showed no sign of it. He pretended to be calm as he walked to a bag of wheat, squatted down, cut the tie with a knife he carried with him, opened the bag and took a look.
The golden wheat grains are full and you can faintly smell a unique wheat aroma.
Gang's hand holding the bag trembled slightly, and he stood up calmly, looking back at Gu Mengran outside the car door, "Not bad, the quality of the wheat is also very good."
This guy was not very good at hiding his emotions. His face was full of surprise and astonishment, but he still pretended to be calm. Gu Mengran did not expose him, but smiled and pointed at the car behind him, "There is another one behind, do you want to see more?"
"No need." Brother Gang put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, "My people will be here soon. I greeted them before leaving. Before that, I want to ask you a few questions."
I knew this would happen. Gu Mengran sighed in his heart and silently got on the bus which still had the cool air of the air conditioner.
He thought Brother Gang would ask them about the process of moving and transporting wheat. After all, it was really amazing that three people could transport three trucks of wheat. But Brother Gang didn't seem to be very interested in this. When Gu Mengran got on the bus, he said directly:
"Would you consider joining us?"
Gu Mengran was obviously stunned, and immediately realized that the other party was impressed by their abilities and wanted to win them over.
Gu Mengran was so focused on getting more wheat for Jiujie that he completely overlooked the fact that in these troubled times, people who performed well would also be remembered.
It was impossible to join, but Gu Mengran did not refuse directly.
He pretended to think for a few seconds, then said with a hint of regret: "Brother Gang, you know my parents are still waiting for me in Yinan. I have to make this trip anyway."
His original intention was to get the other party to give up the idea, but Gang Ge waved his hand disapprovingly and even gave him some advice:
"This is not a big problem. There is nothing wrong with going to Yinan to find someone and joining us. If you are willing to join our big family, I can send someone to go to Yinan with you to find someone. You can just come back after you find him, right?"
Are you determined to recruit him? Gu Mengran smiled dryly, "I appreciate your kindness, Brother Gang. Yinan is too far away, and looking for someone in a city with a large population is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't know how long it will take."
"My relatives, my parents, I have long been prepared to keep looking for them. There is no need to let innocent people suffer with us."
Brother Gang shook his head. "Hey! You are right, but I can't bear to part with you. I can't bear to part with young people like you who are capable and courageous. Post-disaster reconstruction needs people like you. We can't keep immersing ourselves in grief. We must move forward little by little."
The burly man frowned, his resolute face was tinged with worry, and his eyes, which were intimidating even when he looked straight ahead, showed a rare sense of helplessness.

Gu Mengran's lips moved slightly, and after a while of thinking, he said without much confidence: "It will be fine."
"Yeah, it'll get better."
The emotion on his face flashed away, Gang Ge wiped his face randomly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Since the decision has been made, I wish you a speedy reunion with your family. Anyway, the door of Jiujie is always open to you, and you are welcome to come back with your family."
Just a casual polite remark, a perfunctory response and the matter was over.
But Gu Mengran didn't. He looked up at Gang Ge, and his tone changed from casual to serious: "We probably won't come back. Water flows to the lower places, people go to the higher places, don't go back, and don't stand still."
This was a bit confusing, and Brother Gang didn't understand what Gu Mengran meant for a moment.
He scratched his head and was about to ask when a beam of light came from not far away, and the dazzling light swept across the car door.
They both looked up and saw seven or eight men walking towards the highway in the night, talking and laughing on the path diagonally opposite.
"Our people are here. Let's stop talking and prepare to unload the cargo."
Completely forgetting what he was going to ask, Gang Ge said hello to Gu Mengran, stepped out of the bus first, stood on the curb and waved to the crowd not far away, "This!"
"Oh, right," Gang Ge seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned back to Gu Mengran and raised his chin, asking, "When are you planning to leave?"
Gu Mengran was cautious and said vaguely, "Tomorrow."
…
If there are three carts of wheat and they are divided in half, each side will get one and a half carts.
But Gu Mengran consulted with Gang Ge again, and finally exchanged the other half of the truckload of wheat for five boxes of biscuits and five barrels of gasoline. The reason was that they still had to hurry on their way, and if the truck broke down on the way, too much wheat would be a burden, so it would be better to take some food.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the goods were unloaded. There was no time to rest. After saying goodbye to Brother Gang, Gu Mengran drove a commercial vehicle, carrying Liang Zhao who had just been redeemed, and led two buses onto the national highway before stopping on the side of the road.
Under the cover of night, Gu Mengran put the wheat in the car back into the space, and then put the spare car into the space as well, leaving only a medium-sized bus carrying 29 people.
After finishing the work, the bus parked on the side of the road and the group walked back to Emerald City.
There was almost no communication along the way. Everyone just kept walking with their heads down, and they didn't stop for a moment even though they were sweating profusely.
Zheng Yiji never understood what they were doing in such a hurry until they returned to the basement and Gu Mengran asked the two teachers to pack up without saying a word. Only then did he realize that they were preparing to leave the mountain city overnight.
It seemed that there was no chance to regret. Zheng Yijie made up his mind at this moment and started packing up immediately.
Although he was mentally prepared, his heart still ached when he saw the supplies in his warehouse and the pots and pans in the kitchen all disappear in Gu Mengran's hands.
At 10:30 in the evening, the road was pitch black without street lights, with only a faint light from a bus parked on the side of the road.
“Boom, boom—”
The car doors were closed, the air conditioner was on, and the hum of the car echoed on the quiet road.
"Are you sitting tight?"
"Hold on tight!"
The driver immediately pulled up the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and the bus drove steadily into the night.
