Chapter 83 New Route to Make Trouble
Chapter 83 New Route to Make Trouble (5k Chapter)
The next day, Li Kailang got up sleepily.
After driving the ear car all day yesterday, he was in a somewhat low spirit today, but fortunately there was a spiritual spring, which could help him replenish his spirits.
After quickly washing up, he said hello to Cui Yuan, and the two went out together.
Cui Yuan didn't say much. He had been moving goods all day yesterday and his back and waist were sore.
Seeing this, Li Kailang wanted to use the spiritual spring to help Cui Yuan, but he needed an excuse.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Cui, I'll get you some water when we get to the factory."
"Water? No need to go through so much trouble, I have some." Cui Yuan looked at Li Kailang in confusion.
"Brother Cui, this is not ordinary water." Li Kailang smiled mysteriously.
"This is a secret recipe I got from the countryside. Drinking this can relieve back pain and restore energy."
"No, no, I can still bear it, there's no need." Cui Yuan quickly refused.
When Cui Yuan heard it was a secret recipe, he thought it was made at great expense. Although Western medicine is now popular, people's concept is still more inclined towards traditional Chinese medicine.
People still attach great importance to things related to traditional Chinese medicine.
"It's okay, Brother Cui. I have more. It's okay for you to take some," Li Kailang saw Cui Yuan's hesitation and persuaded him.
"If you look like this, Aunt Cui will be worried again. What will your co-workers think?"
When it comes to Aunt Cui, Cui Yuan can no longer refuse.
"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll give you the money tonight." Cui Yuan didn't want to leave and suffer a loss.
"No need for that. I'm going to make a big bucket this time, so this won't make a big difference." Li Kailang refused.
There is plenty of spiritual spring water, so giving a little is nothing.
As they chatted, they arrived at the steel rolling mill.
Back at the transport team, Li Kailang came into the car, took out a thermos from his ring and filled it with water.
"This color needs to change."
Looking at the colorless and transparent spiritual spring water, Li Kailang was worried that he would not be able to fool Cui Yuan.
Take out a bowl, pour some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, stir well, and pour some into the thermos.
The water in the kettle immediately turned light brown and looked like a pot of turbid soup. Li Kailang tasted it.
"Bah, bah, bah—"
"Well, it tastes okay, a little weird, but I can't tell what it tastes like, so it's not bad."
Although the manufacturing process is a bit disgusting, the taste is okay, relatively light, and it is hard to describe what the specific taste is.
"This is not bad. No one will find out."
Li Kailang finally added a little salt. After all, Cui Yuan was moving goods and sweating a lot. Adding salt to the water could help replenish his body better. The salt could also suppress other flavors.
"Done!" Li Kailang went to find Cui Yuan with a thermos.
After Cui Yuan drank the pot of "secret recipe", his complexion changed a little, but there was no adverse reaction.
He felt a warmth rising from his stomach and gradually spreading throughout his body.
His back pain did ease and he seemed to have more energy.
Seeing that Cui Yuan couldn't taste it, Li Kailang felt relieved.
Without staying long with Cui Yuan, he immediately returned to the transport team and happened to meet Zhang Jinwu speaking.
"Today's work tasks are more difficult than yesterday's. Basically, they are tasks outside the city. Everyone needs to overcome them." Zhang Jinwu looked at everyone and said in a serious tone.
"The tasks have been assigned. Everyone should bring the corresponding items and as many bullets as possible."
"Start assigning tasks now!" Zhang Jinwu's voice echoed in the lounge.
Li Kailang listened at the side and found that except for a few missions in the urban area, most of the missions required going out.
Li Kailang has only done one mission in the urban area, and that was at the gear factory.
Originally, Zhang Jinwu wanted to give the task of going to the gear factory to Li Kailang, but the other masters were there, so it would be unreasonable to give the task to Li Kailang.
Originally, Lu Wenjiang also wanted to do this task, but considering that tomorrow is Sunday and Li Kailang is not around, he decided not to do this task.
Li Kailang was also assigned two new factories in the urban area - an accessories factory and an agricultural tool factory.
There is also a difference in the distance when running in the city.
These two factories are also outside the city, but only slightly beyond the city limits, and can be reached by driving just ten kilometers more.
This time, Li Kailang went with the team, not alone. He needed to work with other drivers to complete the task.
After receiving the task, Li Kailang went to the second team.
As mentioned earlier, the transport brigade has two teams, and Zhang Jinwu is in the first team.
This was his first time going to Team 2, and the people from Team 2 were in charge. Li Kailang was mainly responsible for assisting them in completing the task.
The two teams were not far apart, only a few minutes away.
On the way Li Kailang went to Team 2, some people from Team 2 also went to Team 1, and the two sides exchanged personnel.
The main reason for doing this is that human energy is limited, and remembering a dozen routes is already the limit.
If I continue to memorize, not only will I not be able to remember the entire route, but something might happen.
After all, remembering more routes does not mean you will drive more often. You can't just remember the routes without driving them, or you will be unfamiliar with them when the time comes.
When Li Kailang arrived at the second team, he saw someone standing outside with a task list. Li Kailang asked everyone and finally met the person in charge of this task.
"Hello comrade, are you going to the parts factory and the agricultural tool factory?" Li Kailang asked.
"Gu Shengli!" Gu Shengli handed over the task list.
The two checked and found that it was correct.
"Hello, comrade, I am Gu Shengli."
"I'm Li Kailang."
The two briefly introduced themselves.
"By the way, Comrade Li, who is your master?" Gu Shengli asked.
This mainly depends on the relationship. There is also interaction between the two teams. Usually if the relationship is good, the journey will be easier.
"My master is Zhang Jinwu."
"Do you have a senior brother named Lu Wenjiang?" Gu Shengli asked again.
Li Kailang nodded.
"It seems that we are family. I was doing the mission with your senior brother before, why not him this time?" Gu Shengli asked.
"My senior brother is responsible for the task in the urban area this time, so this task will be handed over to me." Li Kailang replied.
Hearing this, Gu Shengli nodded and said, "Okay, I'll check the route and the situation on the road with you first."
As he said that, Gu Shengli took Li Kailang to his car.
I have to say that Gu Shengli’s car is a GAZ-63.
Type 63 is an improved version of Type 51. Its most significant feature is the raised chassis and the replacement of more rugged off-road tires, which makes the GAZ-63 have stronger 4X4 off-road capability and passability.
Although it is not as good as the GAZ-51 in terms of load capacity, cornering, top speed and even reputation.
But it is better than GAZ-51 in terms of fuel consumption and passability.
There is also a saying that goes, "Where the Jiefang can't go, just put the GAZ." At the same time, the fuel consumption is 25 liters per kilometers.
Looking at this improved model, it’s impossible not to be envious.
"How is it? This car of mine is pretty good, isn't it? I changed it today and haven't driven it for three months yet."
When Gu Shengli saw Li Kailang looking at his truck, he couldn't help but introduce it proudly.
Seeing this, Li Kailang naturally didn't say anything bad and praised it repeatedly.
Gu Shengli talked for a while and then stopped. After all, business was more important.
After getting on the bus, Gu Shengli first pointed out the two routes that we would take this time.
Li Kailang found that these two routes were safe. They would pass through many rural areas and some mountains, but the terrain was not high and the slope was not steep.
Afterwards, Gu Shengli talked about the ground conditions of some of these nodes.
Basically, the further away from the city you are, the worse the conditions on the ground are.
Mud and potholes are the norm, but the most troublesome thing is that some of the roads are blocked by stones.
Gu Shengli talked for a long time before he finally explained the relevant situation.
"Okay, that's basically it. We will only know some specific details on the way. Let's set off first." Gu Shengli said finally.
"Okay, I'll go first then. We'll meet at the entrance of the security department."
After Li Kailang finished speaking, seeing that Gu Shengli had no objection, he got out of the car and went back.
-
After returning, Li Kailang called Zhang Fen first, and this time the two of them set out together.
The two men checked the car first, and after confirming that everything was correct, they said hello to Zhang Jinwu and set off.
After loading the supplies, I went to the security department to get a gun, and then I met Gu Shengli.
"Brother Gu!" Zhang Fen shouted.
"Well, Xiao Zhang, you are here too." Gu Shengli replied happily.
Before, Zhang Fen and Lu Wenjiang had met Gu Shengli when they were driving together.
Gu Shengli was very happy to see Zhang Fen. Now he could do some things with peace of mind.
"Yeah, Brother Gu, I didn't expect to see you again." Zhang Fen said excitedly. "What are you talking about? What do you mean you can still see me? I'm not dead yet!" Gu Shengli pretended to be angry.
"I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I spoke too quickly!" Zhang Fen apologized.
"You kid, you learned bad things from Lu Wenjiang!" Gu Shengli said unhappily.
"Oh! I don't like what Brother Gu said. What do you mean I learned bad things from Brother Lu? It was obviously you who learned bad things first." Zhang Fen objected.
"You kid!" Gu Shengli couldn't refute.
"Beep--"
The two of them hadn't said a few words when the driver behind them honked at them.
"Okay, let's deliver the supplies to the destination first, and then we'll talk when we get there." Gu Shengli said to Li Kailang.
After all, he was an auxiliary staff member of this transportation.
Li Kailang nodded in agreement and got in the car and set off.
While driving, Li Kailang wondered what bad things Gu Shengli and Lu Wenjiang had learned.
He remembered what Uncle Ding had mentioned before about Lu Wenjiang hiding bullets, and felt a little confused.
"Brother Zhang, what does 'learning bad things' mean?"
"You know about Brother Lu hiding the bullets, right?" Zhang Fen asked back.
Li Kailang nodded.
“Before, Brother Gu and Brother Lu went on a mission together and encountered an infestation of wild boars.
After delivering the supplies, the two of them immediately went up the mountain to hunt wild boars." Zhang Fen began to narrate.
"It's not a big deal to kill a pig, but in the end, we didn't kill any pigs." Zhang Fen shook his head, "This is a big deal."
"What happened next?" Li Kailang asked curiously.
"Later, my dad and their captain gave them a good beating, and they quickly vouched for them at the security department, and only then were they released. However, they were still detained for a few days."
Hearing this, Li Kailang was at a loss. If he had killed a few pigs, it would have been easy to explain, but this one didn't even get one, which was really unacceptable.
"And then what?" They said the bullet hit the pig, but if it hit a person, they both lied and there was no way to prove it.
"Later, Uncle Ma led the team to a nearby village where they hunted pigs and stayed there for one night. Fortunately, there were still people in the surrounding villages, so they let the two go." Zhang Fen said finally.
"It was also from that time that the two of them came up with the plan to hide bullets. Over the years, they must have hidden quite a few." Zhang Fen finally said.
Li Kailang also understood why Lu Wenjiang asked him to hide the bullets. Maybe when Lu Wenjiang hunts wild boars, he will use Li Kailang's gun.
Hearing this, Li Kailang said nothing and concentrated on driving.
Half an hour later, they left the road section that Li Kailang was familiar with. The next step was to concentrate and follow Gu Shengli's car closely.
Fortunately, although the road was bumpy, Li Kailang had experienced many such roads before, so he did not make any mistakes.
"This kid's driving skills are pretty good! No wonder he dared to let him out!"
Gu Shengli, who was in front, felt relieved when he saw that Li Kailang did not make any mistakes.
After all, a driver's driving skills are developed by driving, and whether his driving skills are good or not can be seen from his performance.
Along the way, the three also met several people who wanted to hitchhike, but because the route was not convenient, they had to refuse.
When turning, Li Kailang also witnessed the turning ability of GAZ-63.
When the two vehicles were going around a hill, the GAZ-63 swayed and fell sideways, which made Li Kailang tremble with fear.
However, under Gu Shengli's driving, the car still did not fall down, which made Li Kailang admire him.
"Once I pass the test, I definitely won't want this car! This GAZ-63 is not as good as your GAZ-51." Zhang Fen said solemnly.
In fact, it was mainly because the GAZ-63 was a hastily improved version and there was not much time to improve it at the time.
Li Kailang also nodded deeply. No matter how good the car was, he didn't want to drive it if its overall performance was not good.
About two hours later, the two cars finally arrived at the parts factory.
Gu Shengli greeted the security guard and drove in smoothly, and Li Kailang followed closely behind.
While the loaders were unloading the cargo, Gu Shengli came to Li Kailang and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Can you still bear it?"
Li Kailang replied: "Fortunately, it's not as tiring as I thought."
This parts factory is just a little outside the city.
"Okay, after we finish unloading, we can eat here. Do you have a lunch box?" Gu Shengli said.
"Ah, we can eat here?" Zhang Fen asked in surprise.
Gu Shengli said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense, we can't go back to eat. It will be afternoon when we go back. How can we have food?"
"I didn't bring a lunch box." Zhang Fen said with a bitter face.
Gu Shengli asked in confusion: "Didn't you go out with me and Lu Wenjiang before? How come you didn't know?"
Zhang Fen explained helplessly: "What are you talking about? I used to go with you guys in the afternoon, so how could I go in the morning?"
Gu Shengli thought about it, nodded and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that."
At this time, Li Kailang took the initiative to say: "Brother Zhang, I have an extra lunch box here, you can use mine."
Zhang Fen said happily, "Great! Let's go eat now."
Although it is out of the urban area, it is still in the old city, and the food coupons can still be used here.
After dinner, we had a simple lunch.
After dinner, they rested in the car for about 20 minutes, and Gu Shengli said to them again:
"Pack up and leave soon. We have supplies to deliver to the agricultural tool factory this afternoon, so we have to hurry back."
The two of them simply washed up and set off again.
At about 1: in the afternoon, the three men returned to the steel rolling mill and pulled up the supplies again.
Before leaving, Gu Shengli said to the two, "Take a rest first, and bring some food and drinks with you this time."
"The road to the agricultural tool factory is quite far. If everything goes well, we can come back at night. Otherwise, we can only rest there and come back tomorrow morning."
"Then we have to go early, tomorrow is Sunday." Zhang Fen said hurriedly.
"Or you don't have to go. I'll go." Li Kailang persuaded Zhang Fen when he saw that he was so anxious.
Zhang Fen is still an apprentice, so he doesn't have to go.
Although this is against the rules, Li Kailang has never followed the rules since he started driving.
According to the rules, he must have a driver by his side.
It’s just that he is deeply trusted by Zhang Jinwu, and he has not made any mistakes during the time he has been driving.
No one said much. After all, with one more person, there was more strength, and everyone's work would be easier.
"No way. It doesn't matter if I have to work harder. I'm mainly worried about you." Zhang Fen said quickly.
He didn't want Li Kailang to take his momentary complaint to heart.
"Okay, don't worry. Even if I can't come back at night, I can still do something tomorrow." As he said that, Gu Shengli raised his eyebrows slightly towards Zhang Fen.
Could it be…” Zhang Fen smiled knowingly.
The two chatted mysteriously.
"How about we spend the night there tonight?" Zhang Fen suggested.
"That's exactly what I want." Gu Shengli said with a smile.
The two hit it off and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Xiao Li, go to the security department and ask Uncle Ding for more bullets. We won't be back tonight, so let's go hunting tomorrow." Zhang Fen said.
Hearing this, Li Kailang was also somewhat tempted. He had never used a gun for hunting before, so he naturally did not refuse. He got in the car and drove towards the Security Department.
The three of them went to the armory on the second floor and met Uncle Ding.
After a conversation, Li Kailang and Gu Shengli received 20 more bullets, but there were conditions.
"You two, you must get something out of the bullets. Don't do it like before." Uncle Ding said seriously.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ding. I've also practiced shooting for several years, so I'm quite accurate!" Gu Shengli assured, patting his chest.
"Okay, now that you know, go ahead." Uncle Ding stopped dissuading him.
"Xiao Li, go to my house first and get some things." Zhang Fen said, making a gun gesture.
"Where did you come from?" Li Kailang asked curiously.
"This is the gun my father left behind. It's not from our factory," Zhang Fen explained.
After getting the letter of introduction, guns, money and gasoline, the three of them set off without stopping.
The two vehicles stopped and started on the road, but still arrived at the agricultural tool factory before the end of the get off work day.
After all, I've been driving for most of the day and I'm still a little tired and need to rest from time to time.
After unloading the supplies, the three men checked the car to make sure there were no problems, then parked it at the agricultural tool factory.
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, let's go to the guesthouse. We'll rest here tonight and go again tomorrow." Gu Shengli said to the two.
Li Kailang and Zhang Fen naturally would not refuse.
The three of them came to the guesthouse and checked into three single rooms. Fortunately they had a letter of introduction, otherwise they would have had to stay in the car.
