This was Pei Yan's third day out. In the first few days, the road was relatively calm.
Pei Yan himself is a man of few words, and his driver Yuan Ye seems a little indifferent to him, so the two of them rarely talk.
Yuan Ye was Mr. Gao's confidant, so Pei Yan naturally knew him, but the two of them rarely interacted and were not familiar with each other at all.
If Mr. Gao hadn't brought them together this time, they probably would have ignored each other.
Even though Yuan Ye was aloof, he drove steadily and even prepared some dry food for Pei Yan on the road.
Pei Yan can drive, so the two of them took turns driving.
Sometimes they couldn't make it to their destination in time, and had to sleep in the wild mountains and wilderness, with no way to get out of the car to make a fire, so they had to make do with bread and water.
Pei Yan ate the pancake slowly, as if he was having a delicious meal. Yuan Ye occasionally glanced at him.
"I didn't realize that you, a young master from Jingshi, are so able to endure hardships."
Yuan Ye's tone was not pleasant, and it sounded like there was a hint of sarcasm in it.
"It's not bitter, I think it's good." Pei Yan didn't care about his tone and replied indifferently.
"I'm tired of driving. You stay for the first half of the night and I'll take over for the second half."
Yuan Ye was choked by his nonchalant attitude. He made arrangements on his own, picked up his clothes, put them on, and leaned back on the seat to sleep.
Pei Yan looked at the vast darkness outside the window and felt a little uncomfortable. He still couldn't sleep well after these days.
I'm half asleep and half awake, but I still have nightmares.
He felt like he had been away from Xiangyang Village for a long time. Why did the time pass so slowly since he left?
It will be several days before I can see her again.
The first half of the night passed peacefully. Pei Yan checked the time on his watch and woke up Yuan Ye who lived next door.
Pei Yan's hand just pushed Yuan Ye, and Yuan Ye immediately opened his eyes and sat up. He rubbed his face with his hands and finally woke up completely.
Pei Yan saw that he was awake, leaned back in his chair and began to fall asleep.
"Pei Yan, hurry up, you're riding so slowly." A girl with a beautiful smile sat on the back seat of his bicycle, urging him.
Pei Yan sped up, the wind blew his shirt up, and the girl in the back seat laughed especially happily.
He couldn't see the girl's face in the back seat, but he felt happy because of her happiness.
Suddenly, the accelerating bicycle hit a big rock, causing a jolt. The girl behind screamed, "Pei Yan!" and fell to the side.
Pei Yan was so frightened that he opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the cold face next to him.
"There's movement outside the car!" Pei Yan didn't show any emotion at all because he was awakened by the shock.
Pei Yan didn't have time to think about this ridiculous dream and cast his gaze into the darkness.
A group of people had quietly gathered around the car, some holding sticks and some holding knives.
Seeing that the car was surrounded and their people were guarding in the distance, they were probably waiting for them to drive over in a panic. They could not run more than a few meters before their tires gave out.
"Be careful, this group of people are probably from the nearby village who make a living by robbing." Yuan Ye reminded Pei Yan, his expression calm as usual, not panicking at all.
He also looked at Pei Yan and found that the boy had a blank expression. He didn't know if it was because of his youthful recklessness, but there was no sign of fear on his face at all.
Soon, people outside the car lit torches.
The torches illuminated the faces of the villagers, who stared at the truck greedily, as if they would pounce on it like hungry tigers and eagles in the next second to grab everything.
The leader hit the front of the car hard with a stick, "Get down!"
The others started knocking on the car at the same time, trying to scare the two people in the car into paying the toll.
But this time their plan will be dashed.
No matter how they knocked, the two people in the car were calmer than the other.
It’s not a good idea to waste time like this. In two hours, we can set off at daybreak.
Yuan Ye decided to fight quickly and decisively.
"Be careful when you get off the car. Capture the leader first, then beat up the rest. Be steady and don't let anyone get killed."
Yuan Ye reminded Pei Yan in a low voice, fearing that this boy might not be careful enough and beat someone to death, which would be troublesome.
As he said this, his face changed to one of fear, and he opened the car door and got out tremblingly.
As soon as he got off the car, some people surrounded him, but seeing that he didn't move, they didn't come up to him immediately.
The people over there saw that Yuan Ye had already gotten off the car, and the noise of them yelling at Pei Yan to get off became even louder.
After Pei Yan reluctantly got out of the car, Yuan Ye walked around the front of the car with fear and trepidation.
"Brother! Let's talk it over, don't use force!" Yuan Ye took the initiative to speak.
The leader saw that this tall and strong man was submissive as soon as he came down, and did not let down his guard immediately.
"We are brothers, and we just want to borrow some money from you to spend on the journey."
"I don't have any money. If I had money, I wouldn't have traveled such a long distance in the open air."
"Bah! You guys are the most lucrative drivers. If you don't have any money, just leave the things in the car here today."
"That's right! Big brother, don't waste time talking to them. We brothers will do it ourselves and empty it all out for him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were ready to take action.
Yuan Ye exchanged glances with Pei Yan without any expression, dodged the stick in the hand of the person next to him, turned around and hit the three people.
The three people who were hit in the legs were wailing on the ground holding their legs.
At the same time, Pei Yan moved!
He dodged the knife stabbing from the person next to him and kicked the person with the knife away. The others were no match for him. Pei Yan dodged the successive sticks and went straight into battle with his fists.
Knock the person to the ground directly.
The two men were very skilled and beat up anyone who tried to attack them, with either their hands or legs broken.
The cruel methods made people feel frightened. Seeing that these two people were not easy to deal with, others fled in all directions.
The man called the boss had already been caught by Pei Yan, who decisively broke one of his legs.
The dozen or so people lying on the ground wailing were filled with regret, wondering how they could be so unlucky to have encountered the two evil spirits.
"Sure, kid, you're pretty good."
Yuan Ye changed his indifference of the past few days. After encountering a robbery, he even started to like Pei Yan a little.
"What about these people?"
"You fellow, you dare to rob and hit your Grandpa Yuan. You really are impatient to live."
Yuan Ye kicked the boss.
"Send it to the local public security bureau and let them deal with the headache."
Yuan Ye had no intention of letting them go. He didn't know how much supplies they had robbed on this road. They could expect to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
Pei Yan had no objection. Although their car was loaded with cargo, it could still accommodate a dozen people.
Yuan Ye opened the back of the car and took out two bundles of ropes, which were better for tying people up.
Pei Yan almost couldn't maintain his expression. What kind of good driver would put so many ropes in the car?
After tying up the person, "Can you write?"
"Yes." Pei Yan took the white paper and pen he took out from the driver's seat.
After Yuan Ye had a friendly exchange with the unlucky boss, the bruised and battered man told everything he knew.
"What are you standing there for? Write!"
