He didn't know how long he had been riding. He looked back in the direction of the provincial capital, still full of panic, and then continued to ride desperately.
But the provincial capital is too far from the county seat. It takes almost two hours to drive there, and it takes more than ten hours to ride a bike, so it's impossible to get there. But that's how it is in this era. Besides taking a car, you have to ride a bike or walk.
There are people who walk from one county town to another!
So riding a bike isn't surprising. Of course, these days, if you can avoid traveling far, you're basically staying indoors. Why go out when you don't have anything else to do? So, you only go out when you absolutely have to. And to save money, some people even walk.
There were even many mountainous areas that were inaccessible by road and could only be accessed on foot. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, many people in mountain villages had to walk for several days carrying dry food to buy something in town.
The young man was afraid to take a car, so he rode as fast as he could, not even daring to stop when it got dark. At midnight, he finally arrived back in the county town.
It was not easy to travel at night, but he was scared, and fortunately they were walking on the main road. This road to the provincial capital had been severely cracked down on crime before, so it was much safer.
So the young man arrived at the county town safely.
When he arrived in the county town, he went straight to the black market.
"Hey, Heizi, why are you back so late at night?" Although it was the middle of the night, there were still people in the black market.
Compared to the daytime market, the black market at night was actually more vibrant. Especially in the middle of the night, when some people came out. Because some things were more likely to make noises at midnight.
"Hey, get out of here!" Heizi was in no mood and ran straight into the yard.
The brothers saw Heizi's panic, and although they were curious, they didn't dare to ask too much. Heizi and Baige were Sister Lan's right-hand men. They were the second in command, unlike these little guys. How could they dare to provoke them?
Heizi rushed into the lobby, but didn't see Sister Lan. He couldn't wait and knocked on the door of the backyard room. Sister Lan's sleeping time was irregular, sometimes she slept during the day, sometimes she slept at night, all depending on her mood.
"Sister Lan, Sister Lan has something urgent!"
After a while, Sister Lan finally came out, looking sleepy and very unhappy: "Why are you yelling so late at night?"
Heizi took a breath and whispered, "Sister Lan and Brother Bai have been arrested!"
Sister Lan paused, her face not looking good: "Let's talk inside."
The two men entered the house. Heizi was particularly careless and hit the threshold when he entered and almost fell down!
Sister Lan glanced at her and snorted, "You're useless! What's going on? Who captured Lao Bai?"
"By that Lu guy!" Heizi said quickly, "Sister Lan, didn't you tell me to start looking for clues from the people around that woman? So we went to the provincial capital to investigate, and we checked several people. Later, we found the clue to be your woman's husband. That woman's husband is from the Lu family in the provincial capital, and their family is..."
Sister Lan's face changed. "You guys are really capable. The last time the black market's big boss was in the provincial capital, he even had the entire province under his control, but in the end, he was wiped out by that Lu family! Didn't I tell you to stay away from those people? Don't you know who you can and can't mess with?"
People like them should hide when they should, and not rush in rashly, that's stupid.
It is precisely because she is not stupid that she is able to lead Heizi and the others to live a prosperous life, and now they even have a place in the black market.
