Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 52 Desperately
Xu Cang, who was on the minibus, naturally didn't know that he had been spotted by the captain of the Airbus, and he was still planning to grab someone.In fact, even if Xu Cang knew about it, he didn't have the energy to think about it, because Xu Cang was already in a semi-conscious state at the moment.

Maybe it's because I feel that I'm still a pilot anyway, so motion sickness should have some tolerance.But after getting off the flat asphalt road, Xu Cang finally knew that he had overestimated himself.

Yunshang Province was not rich in the first place, and the province was almost entirely mountainous, so the cost of road construction soared, so that the condition of the road surface plummeted as soon as it left the urban area.

Except for the first less than two hours, the car ride behind was just like suffering.Xu Cang couldn't sleep at all in the constantly bumping carriage, and all kinds of strange smells filled his nostrils, causing Xu Cang's stomach to keep throbbing.Several times, Xu Cang felt that the filth had reached his throat, and he suppressed it only with great perseverance.

Moreover, the seats of this minibus are too old.It's not obvious when driving on flat ground, but once on the rough road, all the bones in Xu Cang's body will jump up and down with the car.Xu Cang strongly suspected that his bones would fall apart if he went on like this.

After walking to the mountain road, it began to rain lightly outside, so that the car windows had to be closed.The humid air was mixed with various strange smells fermenting in the closed compartment, Xu Cang felt that half of his life had been ascended to heaven.As the vehicle gradually penetrated into the mountainous area, the rain became heavier and crackled on the car body, making it as chaotic as Xu Cang's hard-to-adjust mood.

However, this was not what made Xu Cang feel desperate. At around [-]:[-] pm, the minibus suddenly stopped.At first, Xu Cang didn't take it seriously, until half an hour later, the driver returned to the car and brought back an unacceptable news.

There was a landslide in the road ahead, and it was already impassable. It would be tomorrow at the earliest to resume traffic. The driver was considering whether to go back to Jianchuan.

After waiting in the car for another two hours, the rain finally stopped, but the driver also got definite news that it was impossible to clear the road surface today.

At this time, Xu Cang got out of the car to take a breath because he was too uncomfortable to hold back in the car.I have to say that the cool air after the rain mixed with the fragrance of green grass is really refreshing.

However, after Xu Cang learned that the driver decided to go back, he wanted to call the company to explain the situation.However, when I turned on the phone, there was no signal at all.

For this natural disaster, most people in the car expressed their understanding.But Xu Cang was in a difficult situation. If he could contact the company, he would follow the car back without any psychological burden.I can't contact the company now, so maybe the crew at Lushui is still waiting for him!

Anxious, Xu Cang approached the driver and asked if there was any other way to Lushui.As a result, the driver said that the road to Lushui County was gone, but there was a small road to Linshui County next to Lushui.

The driver also thought about going to Linshui County first through this path, and then from Linshui County to Lushui County.However, the path leading to Linshui County here is a completely dirt road, which is not suitable for minibuses in the first place. In addition, it has just rained and the road is muddy, making it even more difficult to walk.

The driver heard that Xu Cang was eager to go to Lushui County, but he still persuaded Xu Cang to go back with him.Many of the trails here are mountain roads. It is very dangerous to walk alone, and if you rely on your legs, you have to walk for several hours, and your physical strength may not be able to keep up.

Now Xu Cang fell into a dilemma.In fact, he also had the idea of ​​going back directly, it was just a part-time job, so he wouldn't work so hard.But it was a good opportunity to cooperate with the company this time, at least it would allow him to enjoy some convenience in the future, so he was a little unwilling to go back like this.

At this point, it depends on Xu Cang's determination.

However, sometimes it is not human subjective initiative that can affect objective issues.At least what the minibus driver said was quite reasonable, until Xu Cang heard shouts from afar.

Looking along the road, I saw an old man with white beard and hair driving a simple donkey cart towards him.When passing by Xu Cang, Xu Cang had a thought and followed.

I don't know whether to say Xu Cang's luck is good or bad.The old man driving the donkey cart was going to Linshui County, and he took the mountain path that the driver had mentioned before.After explaining the situation to the old man, the old man generously agreed to let Xu Cang go along.So Xu Cang jumped into the donkey cart and headed for Linshui County leisurely.

Without this donkey cart, Xu Cang might still follow the minibus back in the end.But when Xu Cang was in a delicate state of mind, this donkey cart gave Xu Cang a reason to continue.

People are like this, when they can't make a decision by themselves, they need to be pushed by the outside world.

At this time, in a small hotel in Lushui County, the teacher Mo Shangyun was lying on the bed, watching TV boredly.Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and it was the company's operation and control that got connected.

"Teacher, we have arranged for someone to go there by car. It will be normal to make up shifts tomorrow morning." Yunkong said straight to the point.

"Come here by car?" Mo Shangyun said weakly: "Just now I read the scrolling news, and it said that there was a landslide on the road from Jianchuan to Lushui. Can this car pass?"

"A landslide? We haven't received a notification here. If we can't get through, the pilot should call." The transportation control didn't think about the problem of mobile phone signal in the mountainous area, and arbitrarily believed that Xu Cang hadn't contacted the company, that is no problem.

Mo Shangyun did not entangle with the operation and control: "Okay, whether to make up shifts or not is up to you."

The control continued: "Then teacher, let's enter the arena at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Mo Shangyun didn't talk nonsense, and agreed quite straightforwardly: "There is nothing else, I'll rest first."

"Teacher, there is no alcohol test in Lushui, so you should go back to the Jianchuan base and take another test."

"En." Mo Shangyun casually responded, then hung up the phone.I yawned, turned off the TV, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Just as most people gradually fell asleep, Xu Cang, who had traveled for several hours and finally arrived in Linshui County, was already exhausted, but his journey was not over yet.

Linshui County is called a county, but it is actually a larger village.On the trail at the entrance of Linshui County, the old man pointed to another trail: "If you want to go to Lushui County, you should walk all the way along this road. I guess it will take more than three hours. But baby. It's getting dark today, and I guess it will rain later, do you really want to go?"
