The people in the car behind didn't know what was happening, and when they saw the car in front stop, they also stopped.
The young man's driver also wanted to get out to take a look, but Zhang Xian stopped him: "Don't get out of the car, don't turn off the engine, close the door and take a look first, and be ready to drive at any time."
The young driver was a little confused.
Zhang Xian remembered Wan Feng's instructions. Although he didn't know why Wan Feng asked him to do this, he thought Wan Feng was right.
He rolled down the window and looked left and right cautiously before sticking his head out.
"There seems to be someone lying in the middle of the road ahead, and someone is waving to stop the car."
Zhang Guangdong frowned, "Could it be that we've run into someone from the Jingmen Sect? It's daytime now!"
"What is Jingmen?" the young driver asked in confusion.
"There are eight gates to making a living in the Jianghu: Jing, Pi, Piao, Ce, Feng, Huo, Jue, and Yao. Jing is the first of the eight gates, primarily used for fortune-telling, but also for litigation, catching thieves, misleading the masses, setting ambushes, gambling, and so on. Robbery and murder are all examples of the Jing gate."
"Did we encounter highway robbery?"
"It's hard to say, let's wait and see."
As Zhang Guangdong spoke, he began to move his wrists, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.
Wan Feng hid the knife under the car door and looked around vigilantly.
"Master! My brother is sick and has been lying here for a long time. Can you give him a ride?" The man who blocked the road came to the driver's side with an anxious look on his face and tried to open the car door while speaking.
But Master Wei locked the door from the inside and he didn't open it.
Master Wei just looked at the other person calmly without saying anything.
The man was not giving up and turned to Wan Feng's side and reached out to open the car door.
At this moment, the car window suddenly rolled down and a sharp long knife suddenly stretched out and pointed at his head. A loud shout like thunder came from the driver's cab: "Stand back! Get out!"
The man was startled and immediately put on a pitiful look: "Brother... brothers, we are indeed in trouble. Please help us."
Wan Feng sneered: "It's convenient. If you don't get out of here, I'll chop the guy who made your meal with a knife. Get out!"
The man seemed frightened and took two steps back, then sneered as he moved away from the sharp edge of the knife in Wan Feng's hand.
"Since you've parked your car, don't even think about leaving. Leave your money and belongings behind, or you won't be able to leave..."
Before he could finish his words, the car door suddenly opened and a flash of knife came down from the air towards his head.
The man was horrified and rolled back in a panic, barely avoiding the knife attack, but the knife ripped through his clothes, leaving a half-foot-long gash.
"Drive! Drive over!" Wan Feng stood on the footboard of the truck, holding a knife in one hand and the car door in the other, and shouted coldly.
Master Wei stepped on the accelerator, the truck started moving, and ran over the person lying on the road.
The man lying on the road pretending to be dead saw the truck coming towards him, and he spun to the side of the road in a coiled dragon shape. As he just stood up from the side of the road, the truck drove past him almost past him.
When the truck behind saw the car in front move, it started without hesitation and followed the first car.
It was not until this time that seven or eight people covered in snow emerged from the bushes on the roadside.
"Second brother, why did you let them run away?"
"Why did you run away? Didn't you see I almost got ripped open by a knife? These two cars were heavily guarded, especially the young man in the first car. He was so ruthless, he would chop with a knife at the slightest disagreement. Are the young men nowadays so ferocious?"
"Damn it, I ran all this way for nothing. It was all for nothing."
"Brother, why are these two empty vehicles so heavily guarded? Is there something valuable in them?"
"Maybe, even if there is, it won't do anything to us. It will just benefit those people wearing tiger skins. Forget it, let's retreat."
The group turned and walked down the road, disappearing into the snow-covered mountains.
Master Wei slowed down only after the truck sped four or five miles away. After all, it was dangerous to maintain high speed on this mountain road.
"Why are there highway robberies? We haven't encountered anything like this in the past two years."
"Oh, so it happened before?"
"There used to be... but it wouldn't be considered highway robbery, more like begging for food or money. A few years ago, there were sporadic cases, but they were always poor people. They knew us drivers were relatively well-off, so they stopped us to ask for food or a few cents. Hehe, there were even young women who stopped us on the road and wanted to marry us. It really is all kinds of things."
A glow of reminiscence actually appeared on Master Wei's face.
"Master Wei, you didn't marry my aunt this way, did you?"
"Hehe, that's about right."
It seems that the thing of picking up a wife only happened during natural disasters in those years. Looking at Master Wei's age, it fits the situation.
"Tell me how my aunt wanted to marry you."
"Remember that time she climbed into a car after stopping it, and she refused to get out no matter what. She said that wherever you drive, she'll... Huh? Why am I talking about this with a little brat like you? Or how did you decide that the other person was holding you up?"
It is too immoral to say this half-truth.
"Nothing much. That guy said his brother was sick and collapsed on the road for quite some time. But he didn't even have a speck of snow on him, and how could he say he'd been lying on the road for quite some time? Also, when we stopped, I clearly saw two sets of footprints going from the roadside to the middle of the road. They must have gotten the news of an oncoming car and temporarily laid down in the middle of the road. There's no village or shop nearby, and they lay down on the road before our car arrived. One possibility is that they were trying to catch a ride, and another is that they were trying to stop a car. Is it really necessary to lie down in the middle of the road to catch a ride? So, of course, they stopped a car."
Master Wei nodded. "That makes sense. You don't look young, but you seem to have traveled a lot."
I can’t say that he has traveled all over the country. In his previous life, the farthest Wanfeng went was to the capital, and he never went any further south. However, he has been to many places in the north, even Russia.
There was a three-way intersection ahead. Wan Feng frowned and asked Master Wei to stop the car.
Go left and the checkpoint is 30 miles ahead at the junction of Hongya. This road is the main road from Hongya to Bohai Sea. I took this road several times to go to Wanfeng.
Wan Feng pointed to the road on the right side of the fork in the road and asked, "Where does this road lead to?"
"This road leads to Lianshan Mountain in northern Lanpu. Fifty miles north of Lianshan Mountain is Liuhe Reservoir. Beyond the reservoir is Shancheng Commune in Hongya County."
“Is there a checkpoint on this road?”
Master Wei shook his head: "These are county and township roads, so there's no need for checkpoints."
"Let's take this route today. I have a feeling we'll get into trouble if we take the south route."
Master Wei turned left without saying a word and took the taxi into the road on the left.
