After getting into Feng Wu's car, Lu Yuan pointed at the other two people in the car with some confusion.
What's their situation?
Feng Wu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "Sigh, you don't know how dangerous this journey is, so I brought two people to disguise ourselves! If we encounter any checks along the way, you don't need to say anything, they can do the talking!"
Lu Yuan frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. Although he didn't know what the other party's strategy was, it was obviously a trick. As long as he could get to Jin Province smoothly, that was enough. Lu Yuan wasn't asking for too much now.
As the truck started, the two men in the back of the truck bed took out two boxes and showed them to everyone.
"Touch your faces, and by the way, your clothes are too flashy, change them all!"
"What? I have to change clothes too?" Han Wen was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
One of the men, with a lewd look on his face, stared at Han Wen and said, "If you don't want to be caught and sold to a brothel, you'd better change into our clothes!"
Lu Yuan frowned. The clothes they handed him smelled terrible, like they'd been picked up from a sewer. You could smell the pungent odor from a distance, let alone wear them. It was torture.
"Can't we just not change? These clothes really stink!"
Xiwen then took out a knife and cut several slits in his clothes, then grabbed a handful of ash from the car and smeared it on them.
"Is this alright now?"
The two men chuckled awkwardly and nodded: "Alright, but don't blame me if something goes wrong later!"
So Lu Yuan and the others took out knives and slashed their clothes, making their faces and hair dirty, so that everyone looked like refugees.
Sure enough, not long after, the car was suddenly stopped by a group of people. A pile of large rocks blocked the way in the middle of the road, while more than a dozen people on both sides of the road slowly surrounded the car with various weapons in their hands.
The leader had a face full of scars and looked quite ugly.
The other person slowly walked up to the car, glancing at it a few times.
"Get out of the car!" the man shouted at the people in the car.
Feng Wu quickly opened the car door, then walked up to the other party with a beaming smile and said, "Oh, isn't this Brother Wang! I'm Feng Wu, have you forgotten me? I even sent you some grain two months ago!"
"Feng Wu? Damn, it's you! Weren't you working for the search team? What are you doing here again? Why are you carrying so many people in the car? Did you go back to your old ways?"
Feng Wu smiled broadly, then took out half a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and handed it over: "Hey, it's been a long time since we've had any business. I have a family to support, so I had no choice but to help a few brothers find some work over there!"
"Ha! Do you think I don't know who you are? A human trafficker is a human trafficker, stop trying to make yourself look good!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Wang is right. Um, you see I came in a hurry today, how about next time? I'll make up for the toll next time?"
"What? Next time? Do you think I run a charity? No way, it's 100 yuan per person! Not a penny less!"
A flash of annoyance crossed Feng Wu's face, but he suppressed his anger and put on a troubled expression: "Oh, Brother Wang, look at me, this is just a small business. I only make a little pocket money this trip. I'd go bankrupt if I could get a hundred from each person!"
"Heh! What does this have to do with me! I said, one hundred per person, not a penny less, otherwise do you think all my brothers are going to starve here! Hurry up and get it over with! Otherwise, leave everyone here!"
Brother Wang was clearly used to being arrogant and didn't give Feng Wu any face at all.
Feng Wu hesitated for a moment, and just as Wang Ge's men were about to let the tires out of the car, Feng Wu finally gritted his teeth and shouted, "No, no, no, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay!"
After saying that, Feng Wu took out several brand-new banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the other party.
"Brother Wang, you're really ruthless! You're not leaving us any way out!"
Brother Wang, beaming with delight after taking the money, completely ignored Feng Wu's expression and shouted to his men, "Let them through! Feng Wu, get out of here!"
Feng Wu drove away dejectedly, but just as he passed the checkpoint, a smug look reappeared on the other person's face. He spat out the window and cursed, "You sons of bitches, trying to play with me! Humph! You're still too green!"
Seeing Feng Wu's expression, Lu Yuan and the others exchanged speechless glances. It turned out that he had been faking it all along. But to be honest, his expression and movements were really convincing. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't have guessed that he was faking it.
The car continued driving forward, passing through several checkpoints, each charging 100 yuan per person. There were more than a dozen checkpoints of varying sizes, with one almost every short distance. The sheer number of checkpoints left Lu Yuan somewhat astonished.
Finally, they arrived at an open area. Feng Wu stopped the car and signaled everyone to get out and replenish their water and food, since they had been driving for seven or eight hours and were quite exhausted.
Everyone sat together, and Feng Wu took some food out of the car and put it on the ground. Lu Yuan frowned as he looked at the food on the ground.
The other two quickly grabbed their food and wolfed it down. When Feng Wu saw that no one intended to eat, he was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to remember something.
