Chapter 259 Three wheels broke at once
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang~"
The train from Beijing to Shanghai travels in the early summer night. The rhythmic sound of the rails hitting each other is like a lullaby, lulling the crowded passengers to sleep.
Li Ye also squeezed into his seat and closed his eyes to take a nap. It was already three o'clock in the morning, when the human body's biological clock was functioning at its maximum. Even a jerk like him couldn't avoid feeling a little tired.
Suddenly, Li Ye felt someone poking his arm.
He opened his eyes and found that it was Han Xia who was sitting opposite him, looking nervously to the side and behind him.
"Li Ye, there's a pickpocket over there."
Li Ye slowly turned his head and saw a group of scoundrels preparing to commit an illegal act against a woman.
Moreover, the other side had people keeping watch, providing cover, and taking action. It was obvious that they were a professional group with high technical skills.
If it were in his previous life, Li Ye would definitely continue to sleep with his head covered.
In an era when no one dared to help an old lady who had fallen down for two hours, would you not sleep with your head covered, or be blind enough to speak out when you see injustice?
Look at that classic clip of Song Xiaobao and Sha Yi saying “You guys are in trouble”, can’t you taste the slight sadness of the little people in it?
But now, Li Ye is no small figure.
"Where's my wallet? Oh, where's my wallet? My wallet is gone~~~"
Li Ye's clear and loud shouts echoed throughout the entire carriage, disturbing the sweet dreams of nearly two hundred passengers.
Among them was the woman who was about to go bankrupt.
"Who lost their wallet? Who?"
"What are you shouting for? Just check your wallet and stop shouting!"
Whether sitting in the seats, in the aisle or under the seats, all the passengers lost their sleepiness and checked their wallets.
And those few scoundrels who had cooperated with each other tacitly looked at each other, all of them were a little confused about the situation.
"Lao Liu, did you do some private work just now?"
"No, big brother. You know me. I don't eat alone. Besides, those guys have more than a dozen people in their group. They are not fat sheep that we should touch, right?"
"Then how did he lose his wallet?"
"Brother, he must be trying to trick us. I just saw that girl looking over here. I thought she wouldn't dare to meddle in other people's business, but I didn't expect she would be so bold. Otherwise..."
"What else? Humph, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own. Change the carriage."
A group of scoundrels got up and left. Before leaving, Lao Liu glared at Han Xia.
Han Xia glared back stubbornly, but her little heart was beating uncontrollably.
Because it was only then that she realized that there were actually seven people on the other side.
Only after that group of people had left did she come to her senses and feel a wave of fear.
Danger that has never been experienced is ultimately less real.
Just like there are no cowards who are good at talking, when men shout slogans it may sound deafening, but when they actually go to the battlefield for the first time, isn’t it normal to wet their pants?
Han Xia, Hu Man, Yan Jinbu and others woke up and looked at the quiet Li Ye. They wanted to say something but felt it was inappropriate.
Because the road was not safe, Li Ye went home in a hard seat with a small group of eight people this time, instead of taking a sleeper berth by himself.
In addition, Wang Jianqiang, Wang Qiangdong and several veterans also followed Li Ye back to Qingshui. More than a dozen people gathered together to ensure absolute safety.
If they were not accompanied by Li Ye and others today, Han Xia might have been in big trouble just because she looked at others for a little longer.
But there are still brave and righteous people.
Wang Qiangdong, who was born in the army, came over and asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Those people should go to the next car. Should we stop them?"
Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Come with me to find the conductor."
Wang Qiangdong nodded, called several other veterans, and followed Li Ye to find the train conductor.
After finding the train conductor, Li Ye revealed his membership in the Writers Association and put forward his own small request.
A few minutes later, the loudspeakers in all carriages of the train circulated a broadcast: "Dear passengers, please note that there is a suspected pickpocket on the train. Please take care of your luggage."
When Li Ye returned to his seat, Han Xia looked at Li Ye and said, "Just let it go? Isn't there a
Li Ye closed his eyes and said nothing.
In 1983, the national military force was only 70,000.
If you don't understand this number, then you will understand the problem when you compare the total population of Hong Kong Island, which is 7 million, but has 30,000 Royal Police officers.
There are only a few people on a train, and you only make a few dozen dollars a month. What else do you want to do?
Don't talk without any back pain.
However, at the next stop, Hu Man and others saw the group of people getting off the train with the help of the lights on the platform.
It was only then that everyone realized that Li Ye's "soft" solution was also effective.
Hu Man whispered to Han Xia, "There are actually more than a dozen of them."
Han Xia nodded with lingering fear and said, "Thank goodness for Li Ye, but I remember that he wasn't this powerful last year. What should I do now?"
Yan Jinbu, Wang Jianqiang and others also looked worried. At that time, college students really had a sense of worrying about the country and the people.
But Li Ye, who closed his eyes, said: "Don't worry, everything will turn around, and things will be fine soon. Everything will be fine soon."
It is already July, and in less than a month, the end of many people will come.
Those who can be arrested or not should be arrested resolutely; those who can be sentenced or not should be sentenced resolutely; those who can be killed or not should be killed resolutely.
This is not a joke, but a slogan.
. . . . . .
When it was daybreak, the train, after a night of clanging, finally stopped at the platform in the provincial capital of Dongshan.
Li Ye got off the train and found that his father Li Kaijian did not come to pick him up.
Li Dayong asked in confusion: "Didn't Uncle Kaijian say he would come to pick us up? Why didn't he come?"
Han Xia immediately laughed and scolded: "What level of cadre are you? Are you used to being picked up once? Hurry up and squeeze into the bus. If you go too late, there will be no seats."
Everyone rushed to squeeze into the bus, but barely managed to get on.
There are only two buses from the provincial capital to Qingshui County every day. If you can't get on the bus in the morning, you have to wait for the afternoon bus. If you can't get on the bus in the afternoon, you have to spend the night in the provincial capital.
The bus crossed the Mother River at ten o'clock and swayed along the road towards Qingshui County.
When they were still 20 kilometers away from Qingshui County, Li Ye found a Dongfeng 140 parked on the road ahead. The two people squatting on the ground repairing the tire were none other than his cheap father Li Kaijian and the driver Lao Huo. Who were they?
"Master, stop the car."
Li Ye quickly stopped the bus and got off with Li Dayong and others. As a result, Han Xia and others behind him got off all at once to help.
Li Kaijian smiled when he saw Li Ye and said, "We got up very early this time and missed the evening market. Wait for a while and we can go back after the tire is fixed."
"No hurry, but how come three wheels broke at once?"
Li Ye glanced at the three tires on the ground and felt very surprised.
This Dongfeng 140 was only 20 kilometers out of the county town, so it was impossible for all three tires to be broken at the same time.
If car drivers these days were not half mechanics and had their own tire repair tools, this car would have been stranded on the road today.
The driver, Lao Huo, who was squatting on the ground busy patching the tire, laughed at himself and said, "Oh, how embarrassing!
I was careless when I drove out this morning and didn't drive around the car. If my apprentices knew about this, I would lose face as a master!"
"Master, please don't wrongly accuse a good person! I'm not making fun of you. I'm here to help you."
"No, no. How about you transfer a new tire from the rear wheel? Otherwise, the two front tires will have patches on them, which is unsafe."
The tire repair technology at that time was not as good as that of later generations. The 140 is a heavy-duty truck, and it is indeed not safe to use a large pad to repair the single front tire.
As a result, before Li Ye could take action, Wang Qiangdong, who was a former engineer, had already taken a few veterans to work.
Li Ye came close to Li Kaijian and asked in a low voice: "Is someone doing something bad?"
Li Kaijian chuckled twice, glanced in the direction of Qingshui County, and spat with contempt.
"A bunch of cowards who only resort to despicable means."
Li Ye followed Li Kaijian's gaze and spotted several motorcycles on the northern road.
Motorcycles are extremely rare these days, and the appearance of several at the same time is clearly abnormal.
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they robbing people on the road, or are they coming for us?"
Li Kaijian waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about it. They are just a bunch of cowards who are not even petty thieves. They came over for a while just now, and they ran away before I even picked up the crank. They are more timid than the rabbits on the grasslands in the north."
It was only then that Li Ye noticed that at Li Kaijian's feet was the more than one-meter-long starting crank of the 140 truck.
Li Ye thought about it for a moment, then asked Li Kaijian in a low voice: "Is Sanshui back?"
When Li Zhongfa went to Beijing two months ago, he told Li Ye that Sanshui was out and his smuggling business was getting bigger and bigger.
He had a falling out with Jin Peng and others because he wanted to do business of smuggled motorcycles. Now, if Li Ye thought about it, he could guess what was wrong with him.
“Heh~,”
Li Kaijian took out a Daqianmen cigarette, lit it, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry about it. Your grandfather said that he won't be so arrogant for many days.
If you are doing a business that is not decent, you should keep your tail between your legs. But he is showing off all day long, as if you are afraid that people don't know how capable he is.
A few days ago, he took a group of people to Hewan Township and used money to force someone to marry their daughter to his brother. When the woman refused, he broke her arm."
Li Ye was really surprised, he knew Sanshui was very arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be this arrogant. This was too arrogant.
"That family married their daughter to him?"
"No, your grandfather messed it up," Li Kaijian said, "When the storm comes, fools like him will be the first to be cut off. Anyone who marries their daughter to him is a fool."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did Grandpa say the storm would come?"
"One or two years at most," Li Kaijian blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Your grandfather has been in the team for more than 40 years, so he can guess the situation. Do you really think the people above are deaf and blind?"
“.”
Li Ye was shocked and couldn't help but feel deep admiration for Li Zhongfa.
Li Zhongfa did not have a cheat device, but with his familiarity with policy habits and years of experience, he actually guessed what was about to happen.
"The wheel is fixed, let's get in the car and go!"
Old Huo put the repair tools into the toolbox and asked everyone to get in the car.
Li Ye instructed Wang Qiangdong, "Tie the ropes around the carriages a few times. Everyone must hold on to the ropes tightly after getting on. This road is very bumpy!"
Wang Qiangdong said: "I understand. When we were in the army, we drove the car so high that it could fly, and all the things on it were there."
Li Ye and Wang Qiangdong tied up the ropes, rushed to get on the driver's seat, and said with a smile: "I haven't driven for a long time, it's fun."
Old Huo said generously: "Drive it as you like. This car is like a new one in my hands."
Hu Man, Li Dayong and others climbed onto the truck with laughter, all feeling lucky that Li Ye could send them directly to their doorsteps again today.
But they could never have imagined that Li Ye would take them to play an exciting game next.
