The wheels rolled quickly on the road, and Su Wan kept staring out the window at the scenery along the way.

The further west we went, the worse the road conditions became. As the wheels rolled over the uneven roads, it felt like riding on a rickety car, tossing us around.

Su Wan was glad that she was not carsick. She had heard that several people ahead of her were vomiting there.

The conductor handed out bags to those who were carsick, and reminded them in a harsh tone not to vomit on the train, or else whoever vomited would have to clean the carriage for her.

All the windows were open and the air was fine.

The sun was very strong and the car body was soaked through. Although there was a breeze, it still felt a bit hot.

As we walked, the green fields were gradually replaced by bare yellow earth.

It felt more and more desolate the further west we went. It was midsummer and everything should have been lush and green, but the vegetation on both sides of the road was pitifully bare.

In the evening, the sun went down and the carriage became cooler.

As we walked, a row of adobe houses suddenly appeared in front of us.

They walked along this road with no village in front and no shop behind. Su Wan couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

This family is really brave enough to live here. If they are robbed by bad guys, they will be helpless.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw the driver suddenly turn the car around and drive into the ground in front of the adobe house.

After the car stopped, the driver turned off the car and the conductor called everyone to get off and eat.

Eat?

Is this row of rooms a hotel? Why doesn't it even have a door?

Suddenly she remembered that she had seen this kind of news in the newspaper in her previous life, probably in the 1990s.

The long-distance buses colluded with local villagers, opened hotels specifically on remote roads, and forced passengers to get off the bus to eat.

Usually it's a big pot of rice, which is not only tasteless but also many times more expensive than the normal price. If some passengers are reluctant to spend the money, those people will take action.

People go out to seek safety, so when they encounter this kind of thing, they usually choose to swallow their anger and spend some money to buy safety.

So in the end everyone paid for the meal obediently.

Could it be that she was being forced to eat?

Su Wan thought so and got out of the car with everyone.

Some people were reluctant to go down, saying that they had brought dry food with them and would not eat inside.

"No, if you sit on it, what if someone leaves something behind? This is the rule, if we drivers don't leave the car, no passengers are allowed to stay."

The passengers were helpless and argued for a while, but seeing the driver's tough attitude they had no choice but to get off.

After everyone got off, the driver immediately locked the car door.

This row of adobe houses looks like a few houses from the outside, but once you go inside, you will find that the inside is connected.

Although the place is not small, there are only five tables.

There weren't enough stools to sit on, so those who came in earlier had to sit, while those who came in later had to stand.

Su Wan noticed that the driver and the conductor slipped into a small private room inside the car after getting off.

No need to ask, the special meals we eat are definitely free, but the so-called free meals are actually paid for by the passengers.

At this time, two people came out carrying a large aluminum pot.

The pot contained mixed noodles boiled in plain water with a few green vegetables floating in it. There was not even a speck of oil in the soup.

Just as they put the large aluminum pot on the table, someone came out holding a pile of bowls.

As he walked, he said to everyone, "Come on, let's line up for food."

At this time, a 50-year-old old man asked, "How much is a bowl of noodles?"

"One piece."

The man answered directly without even raising his eyelids.

"What? A... a piece?"

The person who asked the question thought he had heard it wrong and looked surprised.

No wonder you were surprised, the beef noodles in the state-owned hotel were only 20 cents a bowl.

The person serving the rice glared and said, "Yes, it is one piece."

"Oh my God, if you want a piece of this bland noodle soup, why don't you go grab it?"

"What are you arguing about? Do you want to eat or not? If not, pay the money and get out."

"I don't eat your food, so why should I pay you? If you don't pay, let's see what you can do?" The old man said as he walked out.

"Taishan, come out for a moment?"

As the shouting sounded, a tall, strong, and fleshy man walked out.

No wonder it is called Taishan, the name really suits its character. With such a huge pile, it would be hard for anyone to move it just by standing there.

In fact, this kind of big people are very common in later generations. Living conditions are good and nutrition is sufficient in later generations, so many people are overnourished.

But nowadays, people are always hungry, and when they should grow taller, their nutrition is not enough. Not only do many of them fail to grow taller, but they also become pale and thin.

This guy called Taishan, no one knows what his parents fed him, but his size is equivalent to that of two ordinary people.

"Brother Liang, what's wrong?" Taishan's voice was so loud and rough that it hurt people's eardrums.

As he spoke, he clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound.

"This old guy doesn't want to eat and doesn't want to pay. Take him out and give him a beating." The man pointed at the old man who had protested just now and said.

Taishan followed his gaze and saw a skinny old man in his 50s who was not strong enough to punch.

He walked up to the old man with his fist as big as a sandbag.

"You think it's too expensive, right? Come on, take two punches and I promise you won't say anything."

As Taishan spoke, he stretched out his arm, which was thicker than the old man's thigh, grabbed the old man by the back of his neck and walked out.

The old man had something in his hand like a little chicken, and he was struggling to get away, but because the difference in strength between them was too great, his struggling was in vain and was completely useless.

"If anyone thinks it's too expensive, then please step forward and let Taishan give you a set of combination punches. However, Brother Taishan will charge for his punches, one dollar per punch. As long as you have the money, feel free to give it a try."

The person serving the rice said as he scanned the crowd, "Are you still complaining about the high price? If not, start serving the rice. Everyone line up one by one. We'll pay with one hand and serve the rice with the other."

He was following that little old man just now, but now he has shut his mouth tightly.

I am afraid that I might accidentally make the slightest noise and let the other party mistakenly think that I am dissatisfied.

Just when everyone was ready to give up resistance and spend a dollar to buy themselves peace, they suddenly heard someone shouting.

"stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl walking towards Taishan and the old man.

Taishan raised his fists, and when he heard the shout, he turned around and saw a very beautiful girl with a malicious smile on her face.

"Girl, are you 놇 called 놖?"

"right."

As soon as the words fell, Su Wan was already standing in front of them.

"What's the matter?"

"Let's talk."

"Talk? Talk about what? Are you interested in me?" Taishan said and then he started laughing.

Su Wan was not angry. She saw that this kind of person was a simple-minded, idiot with developed limbs. There was no point getting angry with him.

She smiled at Taishan and said in a calm tone: "Don't be so self-indulgent. Let me talk to you. What do you want me to do to let this uncle go?"

"I don't have time to beat you up now. I'll talk to you after I'm done beating you up."

After saying this, Taishan raised his fist again and prepared to hit the old man.
