Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Broken Down
The man stood under the car and said to An Xin.
"Take some time here to calm down. I'll get them ready. Our convoy is ready to set off."
He had to greet everyone in the convoy and ask them to get ready and drive on the road immediately.
If we stay here any longer, we might encounter some unknown danger. Although that group of people left last night and never came back, there is no guarantee that they will not return with others to attack us again.
An Xin had recovered from her shock. She was now fully conscious and clear-headed. She looked at her man moving around and nodded immediately.
"Then go quickly and have them prepare. We will set off. If they are hungry, let them eat some boiled eggs that were distributed last night. We will find a way to get food when we get to a safe place."
Driving a truck these days is life-threatening. An Xin couldn't help but sigh in her heart that it's not easy to do any job!
Bai Yichen nodded and walked towards the convoy in front. Every time he passed a car, he called the driver together and gave detailed instructions.
Fortunately, the people brought out this time are all people who are willing to work together to accomplish great things. Everyone knows that encountering danger is not a good thing for the team, and they all obeyed Bai Yitang's arrangements in unison.
Soon, the first car started and moved forward slowly, followed by the second and third cars. When An Xin was starting the car, Bai Yichen just happened to run back from the front convoy, opened the passenger door and sat in, and An Xin started the car.
The entire convoy moved forward slowly, and I couldn't help but let go of my anxious heart, thinking that as long as the convoy left this place, there shouldn't be so many safety hazards, right?
Ideals are perfect, but reality is cruel. Just when An Xingong was about to put her heart at ease, the truck she was driving suddenly made a click.
The vehicle, which was driving normally, suddenly stalled and stopped in the middle of the road.
Both of them noticed the problem with the vehicle at the first moment, Bai Yichen and An Xin said in unison.
"Hey, what's wrong with this car?"
Then An Xin realized the seriousness of the matter at the first moment and quickly instructed Bai Yichen who was in the passenger seat.
"Bai Yichen, get out of the car quickly, take off your clothes, wave to the vehicles in front, signal them to stop and wait for us."
Their vehicle was the last one in the convoy. Now that the car broke down and the two men didn't know how to repair it, they had to stop the car in front quickly.
Xie Laoer was still in the car in front, and the mechanic was not around. If they waited until the convoy left, the two of them would be in danger if they stayed in the car.
"Okay, don't worry, try to start the engine first and see if there is any movement. I'll go down and stop the convoy in front."
Bai Yichen jumped out of the car immediately, took off his white T-shirt, and waved and shouted loudly at the car in front that was slowly moving away.
"Hey, the car in front, stop for a moment."
However, the car made a lot of noise while driving. Perhaps the team didn't hear Bai Yichen's words clearly, or didn't see Bai Yichen's gestures and shouts. The team in front continued to move forward. Bai Yichen became anxious and quickly ran towards the team in front while waving the white T-shirt in his hand.
An Xin sat in the driver's seat, watching Bai Yichen's back gradually getting farther and farther away as he chased the convoy. He locked the car door vigilantly, then sat back in place and started the engine with the car key.
I don’t know if it was because I was anxious, or maybe there was really a problem with the car, but after trying to start the car more than ten times in a row and it didn’t start, An Xin couldn’t help but get anxious.
I couldn't help but slam the steering wheel and cursed viciously.
"What damn bad luck! It didn't break down earlier or later, but just when you were about to leave."
Fortunately, he had the foresight to let Bai Yichen take Xie Laoer on the road, so the convoy has gone far away, but it can definitely be caught up. The car is also driven by someone, so there is no need to worry at all.
Otherwise, if they encountered such a thing, they would be speechless and look up to the sky.
Since the car wouldn't start, An Xin was not in a hurry to start it. She stopped the car and carefully observed the situation on both sides of the rearview mirror. Now, Bai Yichen was not in the truck, and the car broke down. She just had to wait for someone to come and repair it. She wanted to ensure the safety of the truck and the cargo.
Perhaps it was because something had happened that made An Xin think a lot. She suddenly connected what happened last night with the abnormal condition of their car, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.
Let’s not talk about whether anyone has tampered with this car. If they had encountered such a suspicious person last night and immediately drove on the road at night, it would have been terrible if the car broke down on the road.
Fortunately, they wisely chose to stay where they were last night and wait until dawn before leaving.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. An Xin was glad that the choice they made last night was the right one, while observing the left, right, front and back of the vehicle to see if there were any suspicious people or vehicles.
Fortunately, An Xin's worries were unnecessary. Until the car in front was caught up by Bai Yichen, no suspicious people or vehicles appeared near An Xin's parked car.
Bai Yichen sat in the driver's seat of the first car on the return journey and came to this car as soon as possible.
As soon as the car stopped, Bai Yichen jumped out of the car swiftly and walked around the truck to make sure there was nothing wrong and nothing unusual.
He just came to Anxin and knocked on the door of the driver's cab. Anxin lowered the window and heard Bai Yichen speaking.
"We heard that the last car broke down, so we all returned the same way. You get off first and find a cool place to stay. I'll ask Xie Lao Er to come and check the car. No matter what, we have to fix it as soon as possible so that we can get back on the road."
He just chased the entire convoy and ran for almost two kilometers before he caught up with the entire convoy.
I have to say, these days, backward communication facilities are a serious flaw!
If a whole fleet of cars were driving on the road, every communication device would be really a hassle. Chasing a car could make you run for several kilometers, and the other party might not even see you.
"Okay, then ask Xie Lao Er to come over and see what's going on with this car?"
An Xin nodded immediately and got out of the car swiftly.
After Anxin jumped out of the car, several cars behind came back one after another and parked neatly on the side of the road. As soon as Kaizi got out of the car, he asked Anxin anxiously.
"What happened to this car? It broke down? If it broke down, why didn't you honk the horn? Did Bai Yichen chase the entire convoy for several kilometers?"
An Xin: “…”
Alas, the more anxious he is, the more chaos he makes. Why didn't he think of honking the horn to the car in front? Let them come back, and Bai Yichen had to run several kilometers chasing the convoy in vain.
Bai Yichen: “…” Yes, how come he was so anxious that he forgot about the loudspeaker?
Bai Yichen only realized belatedly that the two people's previous actions were a bit funny.
How come you forgot? What about the matter of honking the horn? When they heard that there was a problem with the car, their first reaction was to catch up with the car in front, but since there was no communication facility, they could only run on foot.
As it turned out, there was a thing called a horn that could be used, but neither of them reacted and didn't even think of pressing the horn.
Seeing that the two people were silent, Kaizi held his forehead helplessly.
"Luckily, something happened to our convoy last night. After that, our convoy moved very slowly and paid close attention to the vehicles behind us. Otherwise, we might have had to travel a long way before we discovered that your last vehicle had fallen behind!"
Having said that, Kaizi walked over helplessly and said to the two silent people.
"You two won't. Neither of you has thought of using the horn to call for help, right?"
An Xin: “…”
This is really speechless and shameless, okay?
Bai Yichen waved his hand indifferently and said directly.
"It's okay. I was too anxious at the time, so I jumped out of the car and chased after your team. It's not Anxin's fault. It's his first time to drive a long distance, so it's normal for him to not remember."
It's obvious that a girl like An Xin has never experienced any major storms. How could she remember to honk the horn to call for help when faced with so many emergencies? Even he, an old hand, didn't remember that he could honk the horn.
So, Bai Yichen took all the blame on himself and looked at her man with peace of mind and gratitude.
I silently gave my man a thumbs up in my heart. This man is very responsible. He is reluctant to let her bear the slightest fault and does not want her to face any grievance. He takes on everything by himself.
Kaizi felt embarrassed when he saw Bai Yichen took on all the tasks.
"Oh, I'm not blaming you. I'm just reminding you that next time something happens and you're the last car in line, you can just honk your horn and the car in front will hear it."
The main thing is that this truck is not equipped with any noise-absorbing or shock-absorbing devices while driving, so the noise is quite loud. If you don't pay attention, no one would notice that there is something wrong with the car behind it.
Fortunately, this time they found Bai Yichen waving a white T-shirt and shouting behind the convoy, so everything was still in time.
At this moment, Xie Laoer also jumped out of another car and said to everyone.
"Didn't you say there was a problem with the car? Why are you all standing there like an idiot?"
After saying that, he took the lead in climbing onto An Xin and the others' car, opened the hood, took out the super-powerful flashlight that An Xin had given him before and began to check. Kaizi and Bai Yichen behind him hurriedly followed and assisted Xie Laoer in repairing the car.
Everyone stood quietly by the truck waiting. An Xin looked at everyone who looked haggard and speechless, and comforted them.
"Everyone go sit in the cab and wait. It won't take long. Once we get to a safe place, we can find a place to rest."
I finally got through last night and was looking forward to setting off this morning, but the car broke down again. What kind of luck is this?
The reassuring words made everyone feel warm in their hearts, and someone spoke up.
"It's okay, don't worry, there's no need to arrange anything for us brothers, we will find things to do on our own."
Everyone did not stand aside at this moment. Instead, they divided the work spontaneously. Some of them sat in the driver's seat and observed the situation around the truck. Some of them took the initiative to get into the driver's seat, while the rest of the people stood guard around the truck, holding the police electric batons that were distributed to everyone yesterday.
It can be seen that after last night's incident, everyone has kept the safety of the team in mind and has taken safety issues to a higher level.
Seeing that everyone was proud of the team and put the team's interests first, An Xin couldn't help but feel grateful. There was a hint of indescribable kindness in the look he gave everyone.
Fortunately, this was just a minor incident. Xie Laoer was indeed an expert in car repair. He went over to check their vehicle for a short time and basically found out what the problem was.
So, Xie Laoer took the tools and started to repair the car, with Kaizi and Bai Yichen helping him. In less than half an hour, the car was repaired. Bai Yichen got in the car to test drive and it started right away.
Xie Laoer stood under the car, looking at the started car with satisfaction, and wiped the oil stains off his face.
"There's nothing wrong with the car. It's just that it's been parked for too long. It's inevitable that some of the pipes can't be connected, causing a short circuit. But I've fixed them one by one. There shouldn't be any problems next time."
An Xin walked forward and said to Xie Lao Er.
"Just take care of it, Master Xie, thank you very much for coming with us on this trip. If it weren't for you, our team would have to stop here to rest today."
Of course, stopping here to rest is secondary. The key point is that there are some people with bad intentions staring at them in the dark. What about this convoy?
Xie Laoer looked at An Xin with a silly smile on his face, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Why thank you? We are all friends. Bai Yichen and I have known each other for many years. You are just my sister-in-law. There is no need to keep thanking me. Since we are all out here to drive a car, we are all a team. Don't keep thanking me. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of repairing the car."
He had to admit that this trip with An Xin and Bai Yichen made him fully realize how powerful a team could be if they united.
They can even scare away a small criminal gang with evil intentions, let alone a broken-down car, which of course they have to fix.
An Xin felt like tears welling up in her eyes after hearing what Xie Laoer said, so she spoke in a heroic manner.
"That's right, we are a team, and we will share the good and the bad together!"
Since Xie Laoer, a mechanic, can speak so passionately, then as the backbone of the team, she should ignite the passion for unity in everyone's hearts.
It was from this moment that An Xin decided that as long as Xie Laoer stopped running the auto repair shop, An Xin would pull him in to start her own team, and give him a salary three times higher than others, and let him follow the team.
