Chapter 465 Encountering a Robbery
After that, the driver sighed deeply and slowly told his story, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"My parents are gone too. They joined the government forces last year to fight the rebels, but they never came back," the driver said, his voice a little hoarse. "I didn't know about it outside, and it took me a while to hear about it.
When we returned home, our parents' belongings were sent back, and my siblings and I didn't even get to see them for the last time. We were helpless, living in a country like this.
What can I do? Your parents are here to help our country. They should be fine. Don't be sad. Be strong. God will bless you. Believe me.
Zhuang Liya: “······” God wants to bless this and bless that, how can he be so busy?
If God had his way, there wouldn't be war in the world, the driver's parents wouldn't have died in battle, and he wouldn't be comforting a "poor little kid" who came from China to look for his parents.
He decided that when they arrived in the town of Bansai, he would find a car to take them to Kuqia.
To prevent the little girl from getting lost again in an unfamiliar place and encountering the rebels, she would be doomed. She helped him, and without her, his car would not have started so smoothly.
He wanted to help these poor sisters if he could.
"Yes! Thank you, uncle! God will surely bless us all."
In her previous life, Zhuang Liya had been to this place and knew some of the local customs. She performed a standard mutual greeting gesture towards the driver.
The uncle was very happy, and the fat on his chubby face trembled with laughter.
The tanker truck drove for a distance and saw a car in front of it was stopped. The driver honked the horn fiercely, and the person blocking the road immediately climbed onto the car in front and drove to the side of the road to let the tanker truck pass first.
The vehicle that was stopped was a private van. No one knew what was loaded inside. These people stopped it and unloaded boxes of goods out of the van one by one.
The driver had been kneeling not far from the car door, rubbing his hands and begging, crying. He wanted to stop them but didn't dare. There was a ferocious-looking man guarding him. If he dared to stand up, he would probably be beaten up.
"Everyone here has gone mad. War has stripped people of their true nature, turning them violent, bloodthirsty, cold-blooded, heartless, and indifferent to human life." Bai Yangfan gazed out the car window and sighed softly, "The people of this land are always swept by war and suffer countless disasters."
"Just like our China many years ago." Lu Jingheng also sighed, "Back then, China was plagued by external and internal troubles, its mountains and rivers were shattered and riddled with holes. The people lived worse than pigs and dogs, their dignity trampled upon at will, their lives taken at will.
If someone hadn't stood up to overthrow those abominable old systems, defeat the foreign powers, and drive away the invaders, perhaps we would be insulted and exploited just like them right now."
Zhuang Liya glanced back at them, then looked at Bai Yangfan worriedly, "Eighteen! You've changed, become sentimental. In fact, we know human nature better than anyone else because we've experienced it."
These two short sentences made Bai Yangfan put away the emotions in his heart.
Indeed, she understands better than anyone how greedy, vicious and cold-blooded human nature is.
But in this life, she hasn't thought about these, looked at these, or studied these for a long time. She has been busy treating patients and saving lives in the hospital, busy relieving patients' pain.
I have long forgotten the evil of human nature and only see the preciousness of life.
Now, seeing those vicious people treating a poor and helpless driver, her heart began to unbearable.
She shouldn't be like this, she's here on a mission.
You must forget what is in your mind and release the cold-bloodedness of your previous life. In a country where there is war, kindness will only make you die faster.
"Yes! You are absolutely right." Bai Yangfan looked at Zhuang Liya approvingly, "I know what I am doing and why I came here. Don't worry! I won't get myself into trouble."
Zhuang Liya smiled, but didn't dare to laugh too happily, for fear that the driver would notice. After all, the other person had helped her a lot, and she couldn't let him see that she was lying.
Otherwise the driver will think she is a bad girl.
Although he didn't understand Bai Yangfan's words, he could see from her expression that she felt pity for the driver. The driver smiled bitterly and said, "Some people on this road are very barbaric. They want to take any supplies they see for themselves.
The government departments are too busy to deal with them, and all the troops have been dispatched to resist the illegal armed forces, which has given these evil people an advantage.
The driver just now was carrying food, exactly what they needed, so he had to be robbed. It would be a good outcome if they could avoid killing him and just take his things.
I know this kind of thing is impossible to happen in your country. Even though I haven't been there, I have heard many people say it. It's not easy to get used to this kind of scene at first, but you will get used to it after seeing it more often.
Remember, you will see more infuriating things when you go to Kuqia. You and your sister must not meddle in other people's affairs. You will cause a lot of trouble. I am afraid that you will not be able to return home."
"Yes, I remember it." Zhuang Liya looked at the silly driver with gratitude and thought that this man was very good, but a little fat and dark.
They look a bit like Big Bear and Little Bear in the cartoons I watched in my previous life.
The driver gave them a few more instructions and then stopped talking about such heavy topics. Instead, he started telling them some interesting things that had happened to him.
Soon, we arrived at the small town of Bansai.
The enthusiastic driver asked around for a tanker going to Kuqiya, but after searching for a long time, he finally found one. He told them Zhuang Liya's fabricated story about going there to look for her parents, and told the tanker driver that she could repair cars.
Taking her with him was like taking a mechanic with him, so the tanker driver finally felt a little happier and agreed to take the three of them on the road. However, he couldn't guarantee that he would take them to Kuqia, only to a town not far from there.
The driver told them: "Kuqiya has been completely occupied. Our car can't get in, and the people inside can't get out. Both sides have set up strongholds and are watching each other's movements with eager eyes.
There are occasional exchanges of fire, and the situation is dire. You can't move around freely, or you'll be mistaken for an enemy and killed. I advise you to find a safer way to get in, because sneaking in is not easy."
Lu Jingheng didn't understand what the tanker driver said. Bai Yangfan translated it for him and he basically knew what he meant.
I thought, we are not going into Kuqia, we are going to a village not far from that place, but we cannot reveal the specific location.
If the tanker driver shouted it out, wouldn't the three of them be embarrassed?
