Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

After driving for more than two hours, the soldiers saw that the road ahead was empty, so they decided to have breakfast, which naturally consisted of cold steamed buns.

Jia Dongxu used a fruit knife to cut the braised meat into slices and wrapped them into steamed buns, then ate and drank the water from the thermos.

When he saw other people, he cut a piece of meat for each of them and shared it with them.

After eating two steamed buns and drinking half a cup of water, I felt full.

Hu Mingcheng then arranged to take care of some personal matters, saying that he would drive for 5 hours straight without stopping.

"Team Leader Hu, where can we get some water?" Jia Dongxu gave everyone a share of the water in the thermos, and then all of it was gone.

Fortunately, he brought a thermos, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get a sip of hot water. These people are really rough, driving an old car and not even bringing a thermos.

"When we come across a lake or a river, put the water in the thermos and lunch box. We'll make a fire at noon, boil the water and put it in the kettle." Hu Mingcheng shook his kettle.

Jia Dongxu forgot to bring a kettle, but luckily the kettle had an aluminum lid that could be used as a cup.

The two soldiers were carrying marching canteens. They smiled and continued to fill half a canteen for each of them.

After eating the steamed bun with meat slices handed to him by Jia Dongxu, his attitude was obviously much better. While in the car, he told Jia Dongxu what was wrong and showed him the bayonet on his gun.

It’s a pity that it’s not triangular. Jia Dongxu took a look at it and returned it. It seems that the strongest bayonet on the earth has not yet appeared.

The journey along the Jingsu Railway was relatively smooth, and the group quickly passed Juyongguan. It took almost six hours to arrive in Huailai.

The soldiers went to the military camp to replenish fuel and water, and after lunch, they headed straight to Xuanhua.

"We won't be able to reach Xuanhua during the day, so we have to spend the night in the car!" Hu Mingcheng said worriedly, "We can't sleep here!"

"Divide into two groups and sleep." Jia Dongxu said, we will guard the car with guns and other soldiers at night.

"Those who sleep can stay in the car, and those who are guarding should wear something thicker and go under the car." Hu Mingcheng said, looking at the two soldiers to see what they thought.

"Okay, but we have to do it in the wilderness and without running into any people or cars," one of them said.

"I understand. I've walked this road before. There will be no cars at night." Hu Mingcheng said, and let his apprentice drive. The road here is not like the road just out of Beijing. It is smoother now. He let his apprentice drive for an hour while he took a break.

"Why change drivers? Change back!" The soldier who had just spoken said hurriedly, "We are only traveling during the day now. When we get tired, find a safe place to rest. There is no need to change the backup driver."

After hearing this, Hu Mingcheng quickly changed back. It seemed that he knew that the backup drivers were all new drivers and was worried that due to lack of experience, the car might malfunction.

Well, this will be very tiring. Hu Ming complained, took the car, started it, and continued driving.

Jia Dongxu was a little bored, so he leaned against the front of the car and dozed off.

There was a lot of space where he was sitting, so he needed to stretch his legs under other people, but he couldn't move around or he would delay others.

Before it got dark, Hu Mingcheng stopped in an open space, and the cars behind him also stopped.

"No cars pass by this place at night. We can merge into the main road after driving for a short while. It must be safe!" The two soldiers nodded in agreement.

Then all three cars stopped and everyone came out for a walk and some exercise.

The six soldiers were divided into four groups to look in four directions, and no one knew where two of them were hiding.

Jia Dongxu took out an iron pot, found a few stones, poured water, and started a fire.

Then he took out a few pancakes and threw them into the pot. The pancakes had a lot of salt, so they tasted salty. Then he threw in a few steamed buns and cooked them into a paste. He also picked some wild vegetables and threw them in.

After cooking, Hu Mingcheng smiled and handed over the salt, asking Jia Dongxu to add it in. It turned out that they would order some seasonings on the car.

"Get ready to eat!"

Jia Dongxu said to the five people who were watching on the side, the pot is full, just enough for each person to have a lunch box.

But the soldiers had nothing to eat, so Jia Dongxu asked them if they wanted to eat. After getting a positive answer, he cooked another pot.

When it was time to eat, Jia Dongxu asked a soldier in his car where the other two had gone.

He just pointed at the roof of the car, and Jia Dongxu realized that two people had run to the roof and were looking down from above.

"Are they going to stay all night?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"Well, we have to finish eating quickly and take over for them, so that they can come down to eat!" the soldier ate.

Jia Dongxu looked around and said, "This is just a barren forest. There's nothing to worry about. Why are you so nervous?"

The soldier smiled but didn't say anything. After finishing his meal, Jia Dongxu said, "Can we take a walk around? And get some firewood."

"Okay, but don't go too far. We will watch you on the roof of the car. You can also check if there are any signs of human presence. If so, we will move to another place to spend the night," said the soldier.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "Captain Hu, we can move around after dinner. Do you think there is any game in this wild forest?"

"Well, that's fine." Hu Mingcheng called on a few people to go to the wild forest to set traps and baits, saying that there would be wild rabbits in this place.

I'll go in the evening and see if I can catch it.

Jia Dongxu and his companions happily watched Hu Mingcheng lead the two men in setting a trap, which was considered a relaxing part of the journey today.

"Team Leader Hu, have we had such a delivery mission before?" Jia Dongxu asked curiously. He was the only one among these people who was not from the driver team.

"This is the first time. We have never had such a mission. In the past, we were sent together with the guards from our own factory. When we passed through a city, we would find a guesthouse to stay the night." Hu Mingcheng said.

Jia Dongxu thought about it thoughtfully, "From now on, the five of us must keep this delivery mission confidential and tell others that we delivered a batch of spare parts from the factory."

"Well, okay, I understand, Vice Minister Jia."

Hu Mingcheng nodded in agreement. This delivery was indeed very strange. Looking at the tire marks, it was obvious that it was a heavy truck.

"We deliverymen will form a special task delivery team from now on. If we are asked to be seconded in the future, you will be the ones to go." Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

It is estimated that these people are here not only because of their good driving skills, but also because they may be people that Hu Mingcheng needs to take care of. He has just joined the logistics department and also needs to find some people of his own.

Otherwise, if you don't have your own people, you will be easily sidelined by others in the future. Although it's a bit early to consider these things now, you should be prepared.

I just don't know if these people can disobey. Looking at Hu Mingcheng's appearance, Jia Dongxu thought that he would try to mobilize some people to transport some goods in the future.

But if this trip goes smoothly, these people will listen to me in the future.

Jia Dongxu watched several people setting up traps and also asked about the situation of other cars.
