Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1360

On the way back, when the group passed a turn, the cloth bag that one of the people used to cover the basket was blown up by the wind, and the person behind him suddenly saw the cigarettes and candies inside.

Then he opened his own cloth bag, which also contained something, and called out to Cao Xishan: "Brother Dashan, Brother Dashan."

"What's the matter?" Cao Xishan turned his head.

The man pointed to something in the frame and said, "It's inside."

Cao Xishan looked at the cigarettes and candies in the bag and said, "Little Brother Zhang is still so polite. Since he gave them to you, just keep them and go home to give them to your children to sweeten their mouths."

The group of men who had come to help voluntarily did not expect to have an unexpected gain this time, and went home happily.

After returning, the group of people who helped couldn't help but say to their wives: "This young comrade from outside is a man who knows how to get things done and is worth making friends with."

Zhang Yu waited until they could no longer be seen before taking out the things he had prepared from the space.

As soon as he took it out, he slapped his head and said, "Damn, I am stupid today."

Every detail was carefully considered to ensure that no trace was left.

He even made excuses and said that there was nothing wrong with all the purchasing certificates, but he forgot one thing.

In this desolate mountain area, where can he go to call someone to pick up the goods?
"Zhang Yu, are you out of your mind? Is there a short circuit? Let me show you how you can get the things back honestly." He pointed at his own nose and cursed.

He never expected that after the most difficult steps were passed, he ignored the simplest thing.

Not to mention that there is no village nearby, even if there is a village, given the situation nearby, it is unlikely that they would be able to lay electric wires and install telephones.

Now it's over. What should he do? Should he ride back? Then should he put all these things back into the space? If he put them in, what reason would he have to take them out when the time comes?

After thinking for a long time and hardening his heart, he packed his things into the space and looked around, trying to find a place nearby to temporarily store the supplies.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a dilapidated wooden house in a relatively hidden place. It seemed that it was used by travelers to rest in the past.

He opened the door with the idea of ​​giving it a try. As soon as he opened the door, a cloud of dust floated out, choking him and making him cough for a long time.

The cabin was relatively intact, but from the thick dust it was clear that no one had lived here for a long time.

There was no furniture inside, only a fire pit built with heads, and a few pieces of wood in the corner, probably used as a bed. The rotten grass on top proved once again that no one had been here for a long time.

He found a broom from the space and simply cleaned up the dust in the room. He also found a bed sheet that was about to be discarded and spread it on the ground, as a temporary place to put the things.

However, although he was sure that no one had been here for a long time, he was still not comfortable leaving things here.

When he was ready to lead the way to load the supplies, he would find an excuse to come in ahead and put the things inside.

In order to create the illusion that many people helped carry the things here, he wore different shoes, carried things of different weights, and walked back and forth several times in the uncleaned area outside the door.

After finishing everything, he locked the door of the wooden house again, got on his bike with a bitter face, and prepared to return to the suburbs.

He remembered that when he came yesterday, Team Leader Wang said that in order to save fuel, he should wait in the suburbs for two days until all the things arrived and then take them away together.

Judging from the calculations now, he should still be in the suburbs. If I rush back now, maybe he will be the one to haul the stuff this time, just as he joked.

Along the way, Zhang Yu did not dare to stop to rest, nor did he look around to admire the scenery. He also did not take a longer route to take a slightly better road like he did when he came here.

Instead, he used the nearest road indicated on the map. As long as he could pass, he would ride as fast as he could. He did not want to travel at night. In the environment of the 1950s and 1960s, who knew if there were any wild animals in the wilderness? Finally, he arrived at where Team Leader Wang was when it was almost dark.

Zhang Yu saw a truck parked in the yard from a distance. He wanted to go in but was stopped by an old man. "What do you do?"

"Uncle, I'm looking for Team Leader Wang. I have something to ask him."

"Who is Team Leader Wang? I don't know him." The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't know this person, and continued to stop him from entering.

"It's the driver who drove yesterday."

"You mean him? He's not in there right now. He's resting in the guesthouse next door."

"Oh, okay, then thank you, sir." Zhang Yu was about to turn around and go to the guesthouse next door.

"It's okay, just go ahead."

We walked to the guesthouse next door. This guesthouse was relatively small, with only three bungalows. A girl of about eighteen or nineteen was sitting at the counter at the door, knitting with her head down.

"Hello, comrade. May I ask if there is a driver staying at the guesthouse?"

"Driver, it's a man who came here yesterday." The girl put down the wool in her hand, took a look at him, and saw that he didn't look like a bad person, so she answered and continued knitting. "What do you want with him?"

"I'm his colleague, and I have something urgent to discuss with him."

"He lives in 102. Yes, that's the room." The girl indicated with her chin.

After Zhang Yu thanked him, he knocked on the door of Room 102, and a slightly hoarse voice came from inside. "Who is it?"

"Brother Wang, it's me, Zhang Yu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of people getting dressed came from inside, and Team Leader Wang shouted from inside: "Brother Zhang, wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."

When Team Leader Wang opened the door and saw Zhang Yu, who was dusty and in a mess, he was a little bit incredulous, "What happened to you? What happened? Were you robbed?"

"Brother Wang, don't mention it. After I purchased the supplies today, I remembered that there were no other villages nearby, and there was no way I would get a call from the factory to send someone to pick up the supplies. There was nothing I could do. I rode back in a panic, didn't I?"

"You..." Team leader Wang didn't know what to say for a moment. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and shifted his attention to what Zhang Yu said about purchasing a lot of things. He asked, "Things, a lot?" "A lot. I guess your car is full." Zhang Yu scratched his head and answered.

"What? A full truck." Team Leader Wang couldn't believe it at all. It's not that he didn't believe it. In this day and age, a truckload of grain means a lot.

"Stop joking, how many are there?" Team Leader Wang still couldn't believe it and thought he was joking.

"Of course it's a truckload. How could I joke about this? If you don't believe me, you'll know when we load the truck tomorrow."

Seeing Zhang Yu's serious expression, Team Leader Wang finally believed it a little. "Is there really that much? The place you went to was said to be a small mountain village. How could there be so much surplus food?"

"It's a small mountain village, but the arable land there is not small either. The things I brought this time are also what they really need. In addition, many people in the village exchanged many bills with me privately, so I managed to scrape together a whole truckload of things."

Team leader Wang nodded subconsciously, "That's right, they are indeed short of tickets."

Then he seemed to realize something and suddenly asked, "Where did you put the food?"

"I put it in a cabin."

Hearing this, Team Leader Wang became a little anxious and ran towards the car pulling his clothes.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you...slow down...slow down..." Zhang Yu staggered as he was pulled. He reached out to grab the hand that was pulling him, and spoke incoherently.

"How could I not be anxious? That's food, a whole truck full of food, and you just left it in a small wooden house in the wilderness. What if it got lost?" After saying that, she got into the car without listening to what he said, and then pulled him in. She told the old man at the door that she had something to do and someone would come to pick up the things tomorrow, and then drove away.

Zhang Yu, who was sitting in the car, straightened his clothes that had been pulled apart and explained, "I've seen the wooden house. There's a thick layer of dust inside. No one has been there for a long time."

"That's not safe either. What if someone passed by there recently? Show me the way and we can quickly get the things back."

"Brother Wang, it's getting dark. We still need to walk a mountain road to get to the cabin. It's not easy to walk during the day, let alone now. If we go, we will definitely have to walk at night. Isn't that unsafe?"

"It's okay. Don't you trust your brother Wang's driving skills? I've been driving a truck for so many years. When has anything ever happened? I've driven on more dangerous roads than that."

Seeing Team Leader Wang's confident and self-assured look, Zhang Yu could only give him directions.

After it got dark, it was a little difficult to see the road clearly, so Zhang Yu asked him to turn on the headlights.

It was only then that he realized that the car had no headlights. Zhang Yu asked in disbelief, "Brother Wang, these headlights..."

"Hey, what's the big deal? My car got hit while I was hauling goods a while ago, and the headlight broke. The factory doesn't have this spare part, and the headlight I ordered from outside hasn't arrived yet. I'll just have to make do with what I have."

"But how can we travel at night without car lights? Besides, we will have to travel at night again later!"

"Don't we have a flashlight?" Team Leader Wang fished out a flashlight from beside the car seat with a nonchalant expression.

Looking at the flashlight in Team Leader Wang's hand, Zhang Yu felt like he was going crazy. Driving at night on such a dangerous mountain road, relying only on a small flashlight!
What was most incredible to him was that in response to the questions he raised, Team Leader Wang acted as if he was making a fuss. Was this a problem with the world, or was it his problem?
Zhang Yu was so scared and trembling all the way. When passing some steeper sections, the whole car would tilt sharply. He could only hold on to the seat tightly for fear that the car would overturn.

Zhang Yu, who was still being tossed up and down while holding on to the seat tightly, suddenly felt a little regretful at this moment. He regretted that the place he planned to store the supplies was too far away from here.

After his thoughts were all over the place, he saw a familiar big tree leaning sideways and realized that he had finally arrived at the place. This torture was over, and he quickly said, "Brother Wang, please stop in front. I remember it should be here."

When the car stopped, he quickly got out, pretended to look for it for a while, then walked into the cabin and put the things inside while Team Leader Wang was still in the car.

"Brother Wang, this is it."

As soon as he heard his shout, Team Leader Wang quickly got out of the car and walked over, looking at the room full of food with his eyes wide open.

The two men, holding flashlights, loaded all the things onto the car one trip after another. After just a while, Zhang Yu was already gasping for breath from exhaustion.

Seeing his appearance, Team Leader Wang asked him to rest for a while, but he felt embarrassed to just stand there and watch him work alone, so he had to pick up the load again after only two minutes of rest.

After carrying the load for half a day, they still didn't load many bags of food. If they continued like this, they would be exhausted.

He had no choice but to say to Team Leader Wang: "Brother Wang, this place is a little far from the car, and the car can't drive in. I'll move the things to the side of the car, and you can load them in."

"Why don't I do the transporting and you wait by the car to load it," thinking that the cabin was not very close to the car, Team Leader Wang wanted Zhang Yu to do some light work.

"Let me do it. We'll take over when we get tired." Zhang Yu said and ran to the cabin to carry things.

He was the only one in the cabin at that moment. It was dark and there were trees blocking his view, so no one was watching him. He could use the secret space to cheat without any worries.

He packed a lot of things from the cabin into the space, then carried the empty load, and only filled the load when he was almost next to the cart.

The two of them switched positions several times, and with his cheating, the speed of loading grain onto the truck increased a lot.

When the food was loaded, looking at the full cart of food, Team Leader Wang couldn't believe it: "It's loaded already."

"That's right. I can't believe it either. We have done so much in such a short time." Zhang Yu also spoke with an expression of disbelief.

Only after the truck was loaded did Team Leader Wang feel relieved. For the sake of food, he even took out the rain cloth that he had treasured for a long time from the cab.

This piece of rain cloth is his treasure. He usually doesn't want to use it when pulling things, but he took it out this time for the food.

On the way back, whether it was for food or for some other reason, Team Leader Wang drove much slower and the ride was less bumpy.

After walking there once, there was no need for Zhang Yu to keep giving directions. He only needed to say something at key intersections.

Slowly he fell into a deep sleep. Seeing Zhang Yu beside him asleep, Team Leader Wang took out a small quilt from behind the seat and covered Zhang Yu with it. This was the quilt he sometimes used when he took a rest while traveling at night.

"You are still young. You probably haven't had much rest these two days. You must be tired." Team Leader Wang sighed, tucked the quilt around him, and continued driving.
