This time the transport team was heading to the south and would pass through several ancient villages on the way, so Captain Wang asked Lu Shi to follow.
A total of three cars were sent out this time, with two people in each car. Lu Shi followed Captain Wang, and Liu Jiahua and Gao Yunkai also followed the other two captains.
This mission was extremely difficult and challenging. They made full preparations before leaving and loaded a large amount of cloth onto the vehicle, which they needed to exchange for food.
Liu Jiahua has been hanging out with others. He is stubborn and not afraid of death. He is also a loyal person and will not let us down at critical moments, so we brought him out this time.
Although Gao Yunkai looks cheerful all the time, he is also a ruthless person when fighting. He has always been lucky and has the physique of a European emperor, so he will be brought along this time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, three cars drove out of Weiyu City and headed south.
At the beginning, the road was relatively calm and the atmosphere was quite lively.
On the third day, the convoy entered Sichuan Province, and everyone on the bus was in high spirits.
In the afternoon, they planned to find a place to rest early. When they passed a country road, a dozen people holding weapons rushed out from the dense forest next to them.
These people were dressed a bit like farmers, wearing straw hats and holding farm tools such as hoes and sickles, but their faces looked ferocious.
Captain Wang quickly stopped the car to negotiate:
"My fellow villagers, let's talk it over."
Standing in the front was a man with a full beard and a very burly figure. He came out with an axe and said in broken Mandarin:
"Someone here is injured, take us to the hospital."
After some negotiations, the two sides finally agreed to send two people to accompany the patient to the hospital, and the others retreated.
The injured person was a young woman who was unconscious. She was carried into the car by two men. With the guidance of local people, the convoy entered the city an hour later.
Captain Wang sent the man to the hospital and left him there. No matter what, today was a close call.
The rest of the journey was relatively safe. They encountered a few robbers, but they let them go after paying some money.
Two days later, the cars were filled with rice and flour and everyone started to head back.
When they passed the path they had taken last time, they were blocked by those people again, and this time everyone had a bad feeling.
Captain Wang stopped the car again, and the bearded man walked towards him and greeted him warmly:
"Dear friends, thank you for your help last time. Please come to our village for dinner. We have prepared it."
Captain Wang wanted to refuse, but was dragged away by a group of people. The rest of the people had no choice but to follow him.
However, the other two captains did not go. They stayed to look after things. Lu Shi, Gao Yunkai and Liu Jiahua looked at each other and followed them into the village together.
The people in the village wore their unique costumes, sang and danced, welcoming the friends from outside.
There was a long buffet in the village, with wine and meat on the table, and people's faces were full of smiles. Compared with the chaotic world outside, this place seemed like a paradise.
As soon as they sat down at the banquet, they were constantly forced to drink by their fellow villagers. Captain Wang refused several times, but was fooled by the bearded man. Not long after, Captain Wang was drunk.
Getting drunk in an unfamiliar place would never lead to good things, so Lu Shi and the other two were on high alert and refused to drink no matter how much they tried to persuade them.
The bearded man was their leader. There was a gleam in his eyes, but when he saw how cautious the three of them were, he stopped urging them to drink.
After the banquet, the four people were arranged to stay at different fellow villagers' homes. Lu Shi was worried and reminded the other two to be careful.
At three o'clock in the night, the village was silent and the moonlight in the sky was bright and clear, adding a different color to the village.
Lu Shi didn't dare to sleep the whole night. After everyone fell asleep, he quietly left the house where he was staying.
Captain Wang was staying at the village chief's house and was also a hostage. Lu Shi couldn't alert the enemy, so he went to meet up with Gao Yunkai first.
Gao Yunkai was waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning. Liu Jiahua was with him. As soon as the three of them met, they immediately left the village.
They returned to the car, and the other two captains did not dare to sleep and kept waiting anxiously.
Lu Shi looked at everyone and directly stated his arrangements:
"Captain Ma, Captain Wang, Gao Yunkai, the three of you drive away first. Liu Jiahua and I will stay here to handle the situation."
When Captain Ma heard Lu Shi's arrangement, he immediately refused:
"No, if something happens to you, how are we going to explain it when we go back?"
Lu Shi calmly analyzed:
"Captain Ma, this village is not a simple place. Captain Wang is now a hostage and he definitely can't leave. We can't lose all this food."
"Captain Wang and I will stay here. You three are still young, and we can't leave you in danger."
Lu Shi had a cold face and made a decision directly:
"Captain Ma, now is not the time to be polite. Liu Jiahua and I are quite skilled. We will escape as soon as possible. You take the food and leave first."
The moment the car started, the bearded man and his men surrounded them.
Gao Yunkai made a prompt decision and drove out directly, and the two cars behind him also drove over.
These people were horrified to see the car rushing forward like a wild horse. They hurriedly picked up the hoes and sickles in their hands and tried to stop it.
However, despite their best efforts, they were ultimately unable to withstand the enormous impact of the car. The steel body, with its unparalleled inertia, easily broke through the obstacles.
As the car drove further and further away, everyone could only sigh and shake their heads helplessly...
However, looking at Lu Shi and Liu Jiahua who stayed, they regained their confidence.
The bearded man grinned at them:
"Since you two are staying, let's go back together!"
Lu Shi and Liu Jiahua were locked in the warehouse by them. In the second half of the night, everyone was so sleepy that the two of them fell asleep without realizing it.
The night passed quietly. The next day, Captain Wang was sober. He looked around and remembered that they were in the village. He hurriedly got up and wanted to look for his companions.
The bearded man was sitting in the yard. Captain Wang saw him as soon as he came out:
"Where are my companions?"
"Just wait, they'll be here soon."
Not long after, Lu Shi and Liu Jiahua were taken to the bearded man's home. Captain Wang was relieved to see that the two were fine.
He smiled and looked at the bearded man:
"Thank you all for your hospitality yesterday. We'll take our leave now. We'll see you again someday."
The bearded man grinned and laughed strangely a few times:
"Hahaha, since we're friends, then stay!"
