Space: 60's Survival

39

  There was stagnant water on the road, and the dirt road was soaked, and the speed slowed down significantly. One of the big trucks had the most cargo and was moving very slowly.

The stop-and-go turtles moved forward at a fast speed, and when they reached the territory of J Province, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. This also means that the destination is very close.

What's even more gratifying is that the leaders of the town sent people to come and respond, which was indeed very timely. Some of the drivers are already very tired, and now they can change the driver and give up their seat immediately. Among the people who came this time was Liu Zhonghua, an acquaintance of Lu Jinzhi.

The only bad news is that it's raining again. The leader arranged a car to send some drivers away first, and asked them to go back and report a letter first. The newly replaced driver is responsible for delivering the goods safely to the machinery factory.

Lu Jinzhi meant that he hoped that Tong Yan would follow those drivers first. Tong Yan was naturally unwilling. Although she was very tired, Tong Yan knew that Lu Jinzhi was even more tired. The itinerary, pay attention to the safety of the goods, I haven't slept well for a few days, and my eyes are bloodshot. Tong Yan insisted not to leave, so Lu Jinzhi had to go with her. On the other hand, Lu Jinzhi didn't want Tong Yan to mix with a group of big men. He was just worried that Tong Yan would be too tired, so he suggested that Tong Yan go first.

Tong Yan counted the days and estimated that it would be two days at most. Lu Jinzhi suggested: Anyway, the rain is heavy and the road is slow, simply check the vehicle, and then drive back to Lin'an Town in one go.

Liu Zhonghua arranged for the new driver to overhaul the vehicle, and Lu Jinzhi dealt with the leaders of the town. Lu Jinzhi introduced Tong Yan to Liu Zhonghua. It was the first time Liu Zhonghua saw Tong Yan, and he was surprised. The first impression was that the girl was really young, so she barely called out "sister-in-law." It was awkward, so he just called his name, and Liu Zhonghua felt smooth. The three of them sat in the small restaurant and drank tea while waiting for the rain to lighten.

The new drivers also came in to take shelter from the rain after overhauling their vehicles. One of them glanced at Liu Zhonghua with a look of disdain, and the one next to him asked him, "What's the matter?" The driver pouted at Liu Zhonghua and said, "This is I don't know how many days I can sit in the seat, so the spectrum is not small." The man next to him advised, "No matter what, it's not something we can mess with, we just need to work at ease." The driver He sneered and said nothing. The person next to him also knew that the thorn-headed driver was a relative of a leader in the town. The leader did not deal with Liu Zhonghua. The thorn-headed driver often said strange things in front of everyone. What the hell is going on with the kid.

Finally, when the rain subsided and everyone was ready to leave, Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan sat together. The stinging driver was driving. The driver glanced at Lu Jin and then at Tong Yan, without saying anything, stepped on the accelerator and drove. The road was already full of potholes, and with the accumulation of water, the car was wobbly. Lu Jinzhi frowned, barely enduring.

The sky was getting dark, and everyone discussed it. Continuing to drive under the current light would be life-threatening. The convoy stopped in an open space. The situation was a bit embarrassing. It was impossible to move forward. Fortunately, the person who responded brought a lot of things, opened the tarpaulin, and tied the four corners to the tree, which was a simple shed. Spread a thin tarpaulin on the floor and sit down.

They are all big men with neat hands and feet, and a few sheds are set up to keep out the rain, and people can move their hands and feet. Everyone brought dry food, just eat a little and it will be dealt with. The thorn-headed driver chatted with someone again, "What kind of road do you think those people are taking, and they have to deal with it outside. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't drive it just now, and I'd like to find a hostel for one night."

The person next to him was a Understand, as a driver, it's normal to encounter such a thing when driving a long distance, and the hostel is not everywhere, so I didn't talk to him. The thorn-headed driver was dissatisfied, and his mouth was dirty and swearing.

The evening wind carried the rain, and the person blowing it was cold, and Tong Yan sneezed. Everyone else felt cold too. Someone remembered that there was a kerosene stove in the car, took out the stove, lit it, and burned some hot water for everyone to drink. Tong Yan took out a lot of ginger without anyone noticing. Everyone laughed at her, why did she take this with her when she went out? Tong Yan tweeted that she bought it when she was passing by. She originally wanted to take it back, but now she donated it to make ginger tea for everyone. Someone came to help, rinsed the ginger with rainwater, broke it into small pieces, threw it into the water, and boiled it for a while to make ginger tea.

Lu Jinzhi looked at Tong Yan with a confused expression, and Tong Yan naturally didn't realize that Lu Jinzhi was suspicious of herself, so she brought ginger tea to Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi didn't drink ginger tea that was brewed so casually, but Tong Yan cooked in advance in the space. Lu Jinyi knew it was different when he drank it. The ginger tea brought by Tong Yan had some brown sugar in it, and it tasted sweet. Lu Jinzhi cursed inwardly: A careless little girl.

The drivers were basically surrounded by a tent, and Lu Jinzhi was with the people from the machinery factory. Everyone was a little tired, some closed their eyes and rested, while others didn't want to stay in the shed, so they went to the car to sleep for a while. Gradually, more and more people went to the car, and there were only four or five people left in the shed. Lu Jinzhi and Liu Zhonghua simply dismantled a shed and surrounded the shed with tarpaulins so that they could keep out the wind. Tong Yan was not cold with a blanket on.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Tong Yan took the cover of her bag and took out a lunch box, which contained a box of fried pork ribs. He secretly handed it to Lu Jinzhi, Lu Jinzhi glanced at her, wanted to scold her, looked at Tong Yan's expression of pleading for praise, thought about it again, took a piece of spareribs, and gnawed it. Fortunately, the wind was strong, and a little scent was also blown away. Since it was Lu Jinzhi's thing, Liu Zhonghua came over cheeky, took a piece and gnawed it, and gave Tong Yan a thumbs up. I just ate all dry food, I was already hungry, this is so good, it relieves hunger and cravings.

The three shared a box of spare ribs, but Liu Zhonghua didn't eat it for nothing. He took off another piece of oilcloth and formed a small space with only one side open. Tong Yan could sleep on Lu Jinzhi's body with peace of mind, while Liu Zhonghua sat outside. In such a position, you can hardly see the people inside. Tong Yan slept for four hours and felt cold on her body, she knew she couldn't sleep anymore, Lu Jinzhi was also awakened when Tong Yan woke up, Tong Yan asked Lu Jinzhi in a low voice, "Is it cold, do you want to go to sleep in the car. "Lu Jinzhi shook his head, looked at the heavy rain outside the shed, and frowned. Tong Yan poured some hot water out of the kettle, and after a brief wash, they ate something and woke everyone up. Liu Zhonghua sighed that his luck was a little bit bad. The rain last night was smaller. He thought it would stop in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be bigger. Everyone was reluctant to wait any longer and felt they could drive, so they continued on the road.

The team re-started, drove for three hours, and then rested again. Liu Zhonghua and Lu Jinzhi looked at the map. There is a shortcut ahead, which can save a lot of time, but it needs to cross a bridge. There is also a way, that is, the road when you came, so that you can only arrive tomorrow.

Most of the drivers choose shortcuts, after all, it is really inconvenient to be outside in rainy days. The route was settled, everyone felt hopeful, and arrived at the bridge in one afternoon. After crossing the bridge and driving for another two hours, you can enter Lin'an Town.

Lu Jinzhi looked at the bridge and felt a little uneasy. Although it was a stone bridge, the railings on both sides were already damaged. Although the bridge deck is wide, it can barely accommodate a car passing by. If the vehicle slips, it is easy to fall off. The most important thing is that the river water rose so high that it was almost level with the bridge deck.

Lu Jinzhi knew that if he made a U-turn, the group of drivers would probably fall out. Now I just grit my teeth and drive forward, hoping everything goes well.

Lu Jinzhi proposed to pass one by one to prevent the bridge deck from being damaged due to too much pressure. The thorn-headed driver muttered on the side: eventful, coward. Lu Jinzhi heard it and said nothing. When arranging the order of travel, he put the thorny driver last.

All the vehicles lined up, Liu Zhonghua took the first car and cleared the way. Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan sat in the last car and held the line. The first one, passed. The second one passed. The third car, passed,...Every time a car passed, everyone cheered. The thorn-headed driver sat in the car eager to try, the car started, slowly driving on the stone slab, moving forward little by little, Tong Yanjue's heart was in her throat, seeing that she was halfway to the bridge, Tong Yan felt that victory was in sight , moving on, a wave came over, the car made a strange noise, Tong Yan was startled, but luckily the car continued to move forward, driving a distance of more than one meter, the car made another noise, and the head of the stabbing driver also Sweaty.

When he inspected the vehicle yesterday, he took a rough look and didn't check it at all. Now he can only pray that there will be no malfunction. Obviously God didn't care for him, and the car stopped before he drove a meter away. The driver was sweating in a hurry, and the car did not respond after starting it several times. Everyone was in a hurry. It was too dangerous for vehicles to stop on the bridge, and the water was rising little by little. The driver and Lu Jinzhi both went down, opened the hood, and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see any problems. The driver asked Lu Jinzhi helplessly: "What should I do now?" Lu Jinzhi wiped his face and asked the driver to take out the traction rope. Now he can only rely on other vehicles to pull.

Lu Jinzhi held one end of the rope and ran to the other end of the bridge, while the driver held the other end and tied it to the car. After Lu Jinzhi tied the rope to the tractor, he ran back and stood in the middle of the two cars to help command. It was raining heavily, and Lu Jinzhi's clothes were soaked through. In the rain and fog, he could barely see a figure waving his arms. Tong Yan felt uneasy and opened the door to get out. The driver asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" "Help you direct!" Tong Yan said angrily.

Tong Yan stood a little in front of the car, and the driver was already in the driver's seat. The car in front had already started, the traction rope was tightened, and the faulty car was slowly pulled. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The next section was downhill, and the driver did not dare to be careless. The space between them was small, so Tong Yan could only lean against the railing. The water had already covered Tong Yan's feet. Tong Yan put one hand on the railing and directed the vehicle to move forward with the other. At this moment, Tong Yan heard an exclamation, and when she turned around, Lu Jinzhi was gone. Tong Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurried to the place where Lu Jinzhi was standing, "There!" Some people shouted loudly on the shore, and some people ran over quickly.
