Chapter 4: Roadhog
In 1993, it took at least 8 hours to travel by shuttle bus from Dabei County, my hometown, to Rongcheng. The bus went around the winding and rugged mountain road. Several passengers couldn’t stand it and called the driver to stop and rest.
“Dashan can’t park here.” The driver refused them flatly.
“Why can’t you stop?” A middle-aged woman got a little angry.
“We gave money, why didn’t we give parking?” a young man couldn’t help but said.
Agitated by these two people, many passengers in the carriage began to complain.
“Stop the car, you people, you only know for yourself. I clearly tell you that there are robbers here. If you want to die, I will stop now.” The bus driver said rudely.
When they heard that there were robbers in this mountainous area, all the people obediently shut their mouths.
Yuan Fangguo also came from that era. He also knew that at this time, the national security situation was not very good. The main reason was the economic downturn, and the number of unemployed and laid-off people was increasing day by day. In order to survive, some daring guys began to take risks.
At that time, many drivers who ran long distances carried knives and sticks with them. Once they were robbed, they would not fight with their bare hands.
However, in his impression, on the way, it seems that no robbers have come across.
The bus continued to drive on the mountain road, going up the mountain for a while, going down the mountain for a while, and drilling a cave for a while. Finally, at noon, we stopped at a checkpoint on top of a mountain.
“Half an hour’s rest.” Abandoning these words, the driver walked into the stall on the side of the road.
Yuan Fangguo’s stomach was also a little hungry from the jerking bus, but after looking at the handwritten price list, he still suppressed his appetite.
A tea egg costs 1 cent, a cup of ice water costs 5 cents, and a bag of instant noodles costs 2 cents…
The prices here are at least several times higher than those in the county seat, which is completely unaffordable for a poor student like him.
Smelling the fragrance wafting from the stall, Yuan Fangguo could only swallow secretly, then walked to the side, and turned his eyes to the mountains where he couldn’t see it.
Enduring the growling of the stomach, finally, after half an hour, the bus was back on the road.
As soon as he got in the car, Yuan Fangguo hurriedly leaned against the window and fell asleep. Next to him sat a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, which was completely different from his memory in his previous life.
The middle-aged man seems to be a rich man. When he got in the car just now, he bought a pack of Hongta Mountain, a bottle of beer and a bag of peanuts. Dare this guy thinks this place is a pub.
Maybe reality will really change because of his rebirth.
After being hungry, he wasn’t hungry anymore. Yuan Fangguo simply put his head on the window and fell asleep. He chatted a lot with his third brother last night, and didn’t sleep until the early hours of the morning.
He didn’t know how long he slept in a daze, but suddenly, Yuan Fangguo felt his body slam, and then his head hit the glass all at once, and the hit was not light.
He couldn’t help grinning in pain.
“Damn, what are you doing driving so fast? The King of Hell is going to accept you.” The middle-aged woman covered her head just now and started yelling at the driver again.
“Damn, you old lady, do you have eyes in the cock? There is a woman on the road.” The driver couldn’t help but sigh.
“There is a woman?” Yuan Fangguo endured the pain and pushed open the window. Sure enough, he saw a crying woman sitting in the middle of the narrow mountain road.
The woman seemed to be holding a child in her arms, with a pitiful look on her face.
The passengers in the car couldn’t hold back a little, and they stuck their heads out one after another, and looked at the woman in the patterned cloth in front of her.
A woman suddenly appeared in the place where there was no village in front and no store in the back. No matter how you looked at it, it felt a little weird.
“That woman is so pitiful…” The middle-aged woman just now suddenly felt some sympathy.
“Pity you to go down and get her away.” The driver said angrily to the middle-aged woman.
“I said what happened to you, you have no sympathy.” The middle-aged woman slammed loudly.
“Hmph, compassion, when you meet the King of Hell, you will know how much compassion is worth.” The driver put the car into reverse gear as he spoke. If I remember correctly, there was a place 500 meters away from here A fork in the road, don’t care so much, go there and talk about it.
Being confronted by the driver, the middle-aged woman stopped talking for a while, but she still looked at the driver angrily with a look of contempt on her face.
However, the driver did not take a few steps in reverse, and suddenly more than a dozen strong men armed with large swords and spears rushed out from the woods on the side of the road.
“Block the back for him.” A bald head threw the spear in his hand towards the front of the minibus with a vicious face.
Fortunately, the speed of the car was faster this time, and the spear was not inserted into the front of the car.
But soon, the driver was dumbfounded.
Because there are seven or eight young and strong guys around the back of the car, these guys all look bad.
“Oops…” The driver screamed inwardly. He knew that he couldn’t get through this level, and he could only be robbed before his eyes.
In this era of money or death, as a driver, he can only do so much.
The minibus stopped abruptly.
Soon, these habitual bandits pried open the car door.
The bald-headed face just now came up struttingly, surrounded by a few thieves and mouse-eyed guys.
Involuntarily, the bald head slapped the driver a few times, and the driver’s front teeth were fanned out, and he directly handed over to beg for mercy.
“I remember your car number. I’ll teach you a lesson this time, and next time, I’ll make your **** bloom.” The bald man said as he took out a bright three-edged scraper and slapped the driver on the face. up.
The people in the car shrank into a ball with fright, and the middle-aged man beside Yang Tianlong also shuddered.
“Don’t move. The brothers are also forced by life. As long as everyone has money, everyone who knows physiognomy should be honest. If you don’t know physiognomy, don’t blame me for being rude.” The bald man said and began to search for the first passenger.
The guy looked polite, and under the threat of violence, he obediently threw his money and watch into the bamboo basket of his younger brother behind the bald man.
“Come on…” The bald-headed man slapped the passengers who were unhappy with him from time to time.
“Whoever is so dishonest, I will kill anyone.”
The whole car turned into a group of little sheep, and even the middle-aged woman who called out the most vicious just now threw all her money and property into the bamboo basket obediently.
Seeing that the bald man was getting closer and closer to Yuan Fangguo.
