When the car arrived, I got on.
They all sat in the back of the minibus.
Gu Wei looked out the car window at the scenery.
The cool breeze felt quite comfortable.
However, the road is not very good; it's quite bumpy.
We finally arrived at the forestry bureau at the foot of the mountain.
The minibus stopped at a station near the store.
Gu Wei also got off the bus with the crowd.

The road was not wide, and the surface was covered with road maintenance sand.
Zhao Zhengyuan needed to go back to his workplace to get a letter of introduction and request leave.

Not long after, a tall, thin man approached him.
Gu Wei looked at the other person with a serious expression, asking what they meant.
The man asked in a low voice, "Comrade, would you like the watch?"
Gu Wei's eyes flickered slightly: "How much?"
