Chapter 466: Miscellaneous
Zhuang Liya had clearly said before that she wanted to go there to rescue her parents, but now she said she didn't want to go. What would the driver think? He would definitely think that the three of them were bad guys.
"We know." Bai Yangfan and Lu Jingheng remained silent throughout the entire process. Zhuang Liya was the only one communicating with them. "Just take us to that area, and we'll handle the rest ourselves."
"Okay, if you've made up your mind, come with me. For Big Fatty's sake, I'll definitely take you there." The tanker driver glanced at Bai Yangfan and Lu Jingheng and asked Zhuang Liya, "The Big Fatty I'm talking about is the one who brought you here. By the way, who are they to you?"
"It's my sister and brother-in-law." Zhuang Liya didn't hide it and told the truth, "My brother-in-law was worried about us sisters coming here, so he followed us."
"My name is Feseliaben. Fatty and the others like to call me Ben. You can call me that too." The tanker driver was much thinner than the previous driver, but his skin was just as dark and he looked more robust.
He is also quite old, with a lot of white hair on his temples. He is probably at least fifty years old.
There is not much expression in his eyes, and he looks like an honest person.
Of course, even if he was not honest, no matter what he wanted to do to them, he was no match for them.
The driver entrusted Zhuang Liya and the others to the tanker driver named Ben and hurriedly drove away. His transportation route was different from Ben's. Ben was delivering oil to the war zone, while he had been working in a safe area.
The oil delivered was used as fuel for aircraft.
After saying goodbye to the driver, Uncle Dapang, Zhuang Liya, Bai Yangfan, and Lu Jingheng climbed into the cab of Ben's tanker truck.
Waiting for his car to be filled with gas, he set off for the area near Kuqiya.
It takes about six hours to reach your destination from the small town of Bansai.
Zhuang Liya still sat in the co-pilot seat, while Bai Yangfan and Lu Jingheng sat in the double seat at the back.
It was almost evening when the tanker truck set off. The three of them bought some food in the town to fill their stomachs and also bought some for Ben, the tanker truck driver.
There is food in the space, but I dare not take it out casually because it is too abrupt.
In order to provide cover, Bai Yangfan also bought a lot of cakes that he could take away, prepared some water, and bought a lot of braised meat.
I didn't know what kind of meat it was, it looked black. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, I bought a lot of it.
Zhuang Liya generously took a large piece and stuffed it into Ben's mouth: "Uncle! Eat meat and bread, have one!"
Ben didn't hesitate, took the dry bread, broke it in the middle, rolled the meat in it, opened his mouth and took a big bite, his eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
He told Zhuang Liya, "This is top-quality donkey meat. It's very delicious, but also very expensive. Most people can't really afford it. But thanks to you guys, I had a feast today. I haven't had such a good meal in a long time."
Seeing that he liked it, Zhuang Liya was not stingy and gave him several pieces of meat, each the size of a palm.
"Uncle Ben! Eat as much as you like. We'll cover the food for the journey. Thank you for taking us with you. Otherwise, we three wouldn't know when we would find that place."
Hearing her sincere words, Ben took the meat she handed over without hesitation and said with a smile: "I should thank you for leading you for a while and also getting some meat to eat. I don't feel it's a loss."
Bai Yangfan, who was sitting in the back seat, felt that this old man was very sincere and dared to speak his mind. He did not hide the difficulties in his life at all. He was a man of character.
Lu Jingheng looked at Ben in surprise and whispered to his wife, "Life is really hard here. I've tried the donkey meat, and it's not tasty at all. It's too dried out and a bit hard, but look how happy he is eating it."
Bai Yangfan didn't say anything, but nodded lightly, indicating that he agreed with what the dog man said.
After finishing a meat sandwich, Ben wrapped the remaining meat in clothes, put it aside, and started the car.
Burping, he called out to the three of them, "Everyone, take your seats. We're about to set off. If everything goes smoothly on the way, we'll reach our destination soon."
It's just that the road might be a little rough, so don't be afraid, just stay in the car and don't get out. I'll take care of the rest. You can get some sleep when it gets dark, and I'll call you when we get there."
Zhuang Liya knew that it was because of those pieces of donkey meat that Ben spoke so many heartfelt words to them.
"Okay! Thank you, uncle!" Zhuang Liya nodded politely to the tanker driver.
Ben started the engine, added gas, and engaged the clutch as the tanker truck howled into the hazy night.
Bai Yangfan had taken a nap on the way here and was now in good spirits. However, Zhuang Liya couldn't hold on any longer and dozed off leaning back in her seat.
Lu Jingheng won’t sleep unless his wife goes to bed. He has to stay with his wife because he is afraid that she will be bored alone.
Even though he kept yawning and refused to close his eyes, Bai Yangfan pretended to be sleepy and wanted to rest, so he leaned against the car door and took a nap without worry.
Ben was driving alone, and seeing that the three of them were asleep, he turned down the music in the car a lot.
The driver, an older fat man, used to be in the same fleet with him, but for some unknown reason he was suddenly transferred to a safer place, specializing in transporting aircraft fuel.
Dapang's parents were killed in the battle, leaving him and a younger brother. I heard that his younger brother also joined the government army, but I don't know where he is now.
The fat wife and children are in the city, and they live a pretty good life.
Their family is not so well off. He has many children and little income, so he is the only one who works to earn money, and the rest of the children are at home waiting for him to feed them.
There was no way. He had only two daughters, and he married two of them. He still had three children at home, and his parents were still alive and needed to support them.
He wrapped the meat that the little girl had just given him in his clothes and planned to take it back to feed his parents and children.
He was not lying, his family really hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
When the war broke out, the price of supplies skyrocketed. It was good enough to be able to fill your stomach. If you still want to eat meat, you’re dreaming!
But today he got to eat it, a very big piece, and people gave him several pieces as well, which he took back and was enough for the elderly and children at home to have a meal.
Uncle Ben, who was driving the car, was in a very good mood and felt very happy because he got several pieces of delicious donkey meat.
The road was uneven and the car was shaking violently, but this did not affect their sleep. Zhuang Liya and Lu Jingheng both slept very soundly because they were so sleepy.
I haven't closed my eyes for a long time, and I can't open them when I close them.
Bai Yangfan, who couldn't sleep, opened his eyes and looked at the dark road on both sides, feeling very energetic.
Suddenly, she saw car lights shining in front of her, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
Uncle Ben also saw it and slowed down his car considerably, muttering, "Who are they? Could it be those bastards? Are they trying to destroy my car? I'm delivering oil to the government troops. Do they want to kill me?"
