He Chuan and his friends had already driven a long way off, and even now, he was still sweating profusely. The security here was already quite bad, with plenty of cases of gangs robbing each other. And what about Xu Da Huzi delivering a shipment? He Chuan's bicycle didn't need to be assembled for easy storage, and when combined, it was just two long wooden boxes. Would it take four people to deliver the goods? And it was a close call.
For the next two days, He Chuan and Jiang Dashi took turns driving without stopping for a moment. The person who was not driving would lean back in the chair to rest, and after a rest, the driver would take over.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good. It started to rain as they entered Cangzhou. They were hesitant to drive too fast for fear of skidding. The car was already difficult to control, and every time they braked, they had to simultaneously depress the brake pedal to slow down, the clutch pedal to downshift, and the horn, making it very difficult to operate.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. As soon as the wipers passed, the car windows were covered with rain again, making the vision blurred.
"Stop the car first, let me look at the map." He Chuan said.
Opening the map, the two of them looked for their current location and saw that there was a mountain road ahead. There was a vehicle transfer station not far away after passing this mountain road.
"How about we speed up, cross this mountain road, and then stop at the transfer station to rest?" Jiang Dashi suggested.
He Chuan didn't respond. He was thinking about Su Tao's last words. He had promised her that safety was paramount and that they wouldn't drive if they encountered strong winds or heavy rain. But if they persisted, they would soon reach the town after passing the mountain road ahead. He Chuan was also hesitant.
"Brother Chuan? What are you thinking about? Let's hurry up. This mountain road is not long. If we speed up, we will soon be able to reach the transfer station and rest." Jiang Dashi looked at He Chuan without saying a word and said anxiously.
"No, it's raining too heavily now. The car's visibility is poor, and there's a narrow mountain road ahead. It's too dangerous to cross now. We're not in a hurry, so there's no need to take the risk." He Chuan finally made a decision and said in a deep voice.
"Turn around and go back to the small town we passed to rest for the night. We'll set off again tomorrow when the rain has subsided."
Jiang Dashi was helpless. Since He Chuan had made up his mind, he could only obey. He still admired He Chuan very much. The more difficult the situation, the calmer He Chuan became.
Back in Baba Town, they found a hotel and booked a room. Since they had been taking turns driving overnight for the past few days, the two tall men had slept curled up in the seats without getting any rest, so since the rain prevented them from driving today, they simply booked a room and took turns sleeping in it.
Jiang Dashi had been driving before, so he let Jiang Dashi go to the room to rest first, and He Chuan stayed in the driver's seat to look after the car and the cargo. In the second half of the night, when Jiang Dashi had rested, he would replace He Chuan.
Early in the morning, hurried footsteps were heard in the room, and He Chuan was awakened by a violent shaking.
"Wake up, wake up, He Chuan." Jiang Dashi shook He Chuan's shoulders violently.
"Stop shaking. What's the matter? Why did you come up? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the car? Is there something wrong with our cargo?" The moment He Chuan saw Jiang Dashi clearly, his body shuddered, he woke up instantly, and asked nervously.
"The goods are fine. I'll ask the hotel owner to help look after them for a while." Jiang Dashi grinned.
"Why are you running here so nervously?" He Chuan frowned and quickly put on his clothes. He didn't feel safe letting others watch over the goods, so he had to get off quickly.
Jiang Dashi followed He Chuan downstairs and said excitedly: "Do you know what happened last night?"
"What's up?"
"The mountain road collapsed yesterday. Heavy rain caused a landslide, and many huge rocks rolled down, hitting many passing vehicles." Jiang Dashi said with lingering fear. It was all thanks to them that they did not insist on going there yesterday.
"Brother Chuan, you're really thoughtful. I almost wanted to drive across the river yesterday."
He Chuan smiled bitterly. How could he have thought it through? He hesitated for a long time yesterday. In the end, he didn't drive in the rain because he had promised the little woman at home that he would keep his promise. No matter what, the result was the same.
