Liu Gang also nodded and said, "This time, everyone can rest for four days after returning. The higher-ups are really thinking about us. The road will definitely not be peaceful this time. Those people are starving. They don't care what's in the car. They will definitely come to rob it.
You have good eyesight, so if you see anyone, just fire a warning shot. If they dare to take another step, don't be soft-hearted, or you won't be able to calm them down."
Li Xu knew what he meant. If the other party had too many people and failed to subdue them in the first place, it would be troublesome if they rushed forward.
The lives of both of them might be in danger.
So Li Xu agreed very readily, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, I value my life the most, and I will definitely not be soft-hearted when the time comes."
Liu Gang was very confident of this. He then went on to talk about the preparations. "Tomorrow morning, when you get your gun, get some extra bullets to make sure you don't run out of ammunition. Tonight, when you go back, ask your family to prepare some rice balls or steamed buns. Now that the weather has cooled down, they can still last for a few days. Be careful when you handle them; don't let them show. Also, put a few pieces of candy in your pocket. Eat one when you're tired. If you don't have any, you can bring some brown sugar."
Li Xu also agreed one by one.
After dinner in the evening, Li Xu told the story.
Everyone in the Li family also repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to safety and never be merciful when encountering danger.
After saying that, Hu Guilan and Sun Xiu went to the kitchen to make steamed buns, intending to give them to Li Xu to eat on the road.
Li Ju even took out some candies from her pocket and said, "Second brother, here you go."
This made Li Xu laugh. He touched her little head and said softly, "You should keep it for yourself. Second brother still has some."
Although I haven't been to the black market for a long time, I saved up a lot of candy before, and there is still some left, but there is not much milk candy left. There are more fruit candies left.
"Oh." Li Ju responded and put the candy back in the bag. Then she took Li Xu's hand and said, "Second brother, please come back safely."
"Don't worry." After saying that, Li Xu hugged her and kissed her.
When the two were having fun, someone came up and said, "Brother, you said you had some candy, can you give me some?"
Li Xu glanced over and saw Li Chen, who was smiling broadly. He said bluntly, "Go play somewhere else and don't bother me."
"No, second brother, just give me a few." Li Chen's smile remained unchanged, and he looked quite shameless.
It's a pity that Li Xu didn't buy it. "If you had cared about me like my little sister before, maybe I would have given it to you. But you, not only didn't care, but you even had the nerve to ask for candy. How can you be so shameless?"
"Brother, didn't you say you were fine? Then why should I care about you? Could it be that you were lying to us?"
Li Ping and Li Jiakang, who were hugging their children, couldn't help laughing.
Is this kid so talkative now?
But it doesn't matter, because he is the older brother, so Li Xu said unhappily, "Get out of the way, I won't give it to you."
Hearing this, Li Chen looked at Li Xu resentfully, but didn't dare to say anything.
Li Ju, who was standing by, took out a candy and handed it over, "Third brother, this is for you."
Li Chen was overjoyed. After taking it, he started praising Li Ju and kept saying good things about her. Then he tentatively asked for another one.
Li Ju was not stingy and took out another one and handed it over.
Seeing that Li Chen wanted to continue, Li Xu said in a bad tone, "Two is enough."
Seeing his unfriendly expression, Li Chen praised him a few more times before running aside to continue playing.
At this time, Li Xu quietly asked, "Little sister, why did you give your third brother candy?"
Li Ju also leaned over to Li Xu's ear and responded, "Third brother has been playing with me for a while now, and he's not as good as before, so I want to give it to him."
Li Xu nodded in understanding, and then continued to play the spinning top with Li Ju.
After playing for a while, Li Xu went to Du Hong's house again and told her what had happened. Everyone in the Du family also gave him repeated warnings.
Li Xu chatted with Du Hong and others for a long time before going back.
Early in the morning, when he arrived at the logistics department, Li Xu was the first to go to the place where firearms were collected.
This time, he asked for 20 magazines, which confused the people in charge of the guns.
After a long while, the other party said with a puzzled look, "You're not going to war. The old man in your motorcade only asked for 10 magazines at most. How about I give you that too?"
Is that all they want?
Although others may have been able to do so, Li Xu felt that it was not enough. "No, uncle, please give me a little more. If you don't need it later, I will return it to you."
The other man looked at him steadily and said, "Kid, to be honest, you'd better not hope to use all these bullets. How about this? I'll give you 15 magazines. That's more than enough."
Although it did not meet my expectations, after thinking about it, I felt that it should be enough. Moreover, every time I went on a business trip, I would smuggle a few bullets and put them in the space. After more than a year, I have accumulated quite a few.
So Li Xu nodded in agreement, then put the gun and bullets into the bag and walked towards the car team.
He put the things in the car, then got out and chatted with everyone for a while. Only after everyone was present did they set off.
After the car started, Li Xu started to get busy.
First, he loaded the gun with bullets, and then took out the steamed buns wrapped in a thin blanket and stored them separately to prevent them from spoiling.
After everything was packed up, Li Xu sat up and looked out the window, asking, "Uncle Liu, what extra food did you bring?"
"Rice ball."
"Did you say anyone else brought it?"
Liu Gang smiled and said, "I should bring them. They are all veterans and have some experience."
"Are you nervous?"
Liu Gang scoffed. "Why should I be so nervous? I've seen all sorts of storms and waves on my long-distance trips before."
Li Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look at him. He didn't see any guilty look on his face, so he felt relieved. "Uncle Liu, it's up to you tonight."
Even though Li Xu told his family that he was fine, it was his first time encountering such a thing after all, so it would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.
Liu Gang nodded. "You're just young. As long as you get through this period, you won't be nervous about any unexpected situations in the future."
Li Xu naturally believed this.
The two of them chatted casually and the whole day was peaceful.
After everyone finished dinner that night, the four people who were on duty in the first half of the night did not help clean up, but got into their own cars.
You can't see what they are doing in the car from the outside.
After the others had packed up everything, the old masters took out a few large sacks.
