As for Lu Zhiye, he and Lu Yuanshan first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver two trucks.
Then he called Lu Yuanshan to take a look at the county town below. He took the opportunity to deliver more than 10,000 cans of food in the space to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Director Li was so happy that his teeth were showing. Ever since he released the news some time ago that a large amount of canned food would be delivered to the supply and marketing cooperative, there has been an endless stream of people coming to their supply and marketing cooperative every day.
People in the countryside may not be willing to spend more than one dollar to buy canned food, but a dual-income family can still afford it if they buy it once a month.
When Lu Zhiye caught up with Lu Yuanshan, he was repairing his car there.
Lu Zhiye jumped out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Yuanshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said softly, "I don't know who scattered a lot of glass shards on the road, and I didn't notice it, so my tire was punctured.
I've already cleared that area, and I looked around, and there's no one suspicious."
Lu Zhiye stepped on the ground, looking at the deep tire marks there, a look of deep thought flashing in his eyes.
It looks like there's a heavy truck passing by here, but I don't know what it's carrying.
He squatted beside Lu Yuanshan and said, "Is it difficult to handle? Clean it up quickly and let's go quickly.
This place is not safe. Something might happen. Don’t involve us.”
After hearing his words, Lu Yuanshan suddenly became nervous and his hands moved faster.
By the time the tire was changed, it was already four or five in the afternoon.
It gets dark early in winter, and the sky is gradually getting darker at this time.
Lu Zhiye's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he drove ahead in the lead.
When driving, he kept his eyes and ears open and was extremely alert.
When passing by an empty mountain range, Lu Zhiye's ears moved and he looked suddenly towards a low hill.
There are a lot of people moving around over there, and it seems like they are hiding some unspeakable secret.
Lu Zhiye increased his speed, and Lu Yuanshan, who was following closely behind him, also stepped on the accelerator.
After they left, two people came out from the hill and said, "Brother, were those the two cars?"
The leading man took a puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, “Both of them have empty cars, so it shouldn’t be them.
Go and tell the brothers to get ready. Can you get a big one? It all depends on this time!"
"yes!"
Lu Zhiye and Lu Yuanshan did not dare to stop along the way. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Lu Zhiye quietly slowed down.
This area is quite far from the county town, and it would be unsafe to park your car in the wilderness.
Lu Yuanshan suggested: "Go a little further, there should be a large group, how about we stay there for the night?"
Lu Zhiye nodded. It was a normal thing for them to ask the villagers for a place to stay.
When drivers are out on the road, they receive subsidies for food and accommodation.
If they stay overnight at a fellow villager's home and are given a few pounds of food, the money they save can go into their own pockets.
So when Lu Yuanshan was out driving, he always stayed at the homes of his fellow villagers.
Arriving at a small village at the foot of the mountain, Lu Yuanshan parked the car at the entrance of the village.
Lu Zhiye naturally also saw the food in his hands.
Lu Yuanshan smiled and said, "Six kilograms of food will be enough for the two of us.
You stay here and watch over the car while I go to the village to take a look."
Lu Zhiye took the opportunity to look at the clock in the space. It was already nine o'clock.
At this point, most people were probably already asleep, and they watched Lu Yuanshan walk into the village.
Lu Zhiye looked around and noticed that the kerosene lamp at the entrance of the village was lit.
The corners of his lips curled up, apparently he heard something.
He walked up quickly and knocked on the door.
A man's alert voice came from inside: "Who!"
Lu Zhiye cleared his throat and said, "We are drivers passing by and would like to stay overnight. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, big brother."
There was no movement inside for a long time, just when Lu Zhiye was about to go to the next house to take a look.
The door opened with a click.
A hunched man walked out slowly.
He stared at Lu Zhiye, then looked at the big truck behind him.
When he saw clearly that they were two trucks, a look of hesitation flashed across his face.
Lu Zhiye naturally did not miss the expression on his face, and quickly said: “We are from the cannery, it’s too dark, and we are afraid that the road is not safe.
I was thinking of finding a nearby village to rest.
Don't worry, big brother. We will give you food as a reward."
When the old man heard the word "food", his hunched body straightened up a little.
"You, how many kilograms of food will you give?"
Lu Zhiye estimated and said softly, "How about five pounds?"
The old man was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay! But we won't provide you with breakfast."
Lu Zhiye nodded: "Of course.
I'll go call my brother over, please wait a moment."
The old man nodded repeatedly, leaning against the door, looking at the two big trucks, wondering what he was thinking.
Lu Zhiye walked quickly in the direction where Lu Yuanshan was going.
If his guess was correct, Lu Yuanshan went to the home of the team leader or the branch secretary.
In fact, their houses are easy to identify. As leaders who are paid by the state, the living conditions in the homes of the branch secretary and the team leader must be good.
The most important thing is that there will definitely be a very conspicuous slogan of the era on the door of their house.
This is a must-have product in every village leader's home.
Lu Zhiye quickened his pace and just as he arrived at the captain's house, he saw Lu Yuanshan talking to a man in a military coat.
Seeing him coming, Lu Yuanshan quickly waved to Lu Zhiye and explained to the captain with a smile: "This is my younger brother.
Xiao Ye, this is the captain of Dayu Village. Please show the letter of introduction to the captain. "
Lu Zhiye hurriedly took out the letter of introduction from his pocket. When the captain saw the red seal of the cannery on it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Zhiye heard the name Dayu Village, his eyes flashed.
It seems familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before.
"You want to park the car in the yard of the brigade headquarters, right? OK!
I'll go get a key, do you need my help arranging where to stay?"
Just as Lu Yuanshan was about to nod his agreement, Lu Zhiye came up and said, "I have already talked to the big brother at the entrance of the village.
Today, my brother and I are staying at their house."
The captain paused as he held the key: "Old Zhao's house?
That's fine, you can just stay overnight at their house."
After parking the car and watching the captain's receding figure, Lu Yuanshan whispered, "Have you really found it?"
Lu Zhiye nodded and said, "Let's go, it's at the entrance of the village.
This way, if there is any disturbance in the village, we will be able to know it immediately.”
Lu Yuanshan asked quickly: "Did you tell me how much food was given?"
"Five pounds, for the two of us! How about that?"
Lu Yuanshan gave Lu Zhiye a thumbs up and said, "I usually stay alone. Villagers that are easy to talk to will give me three catties, while those that are not so easy to talk to will give me four catties."
