Chapter 62 Brother, what a skill!
At the junction of Ning County and neighboring Ru County, they are separated by a large and magnificent river.
It is called the Jia River, and it is the mother river on which half of China depends for its survival.
And this long stone bridge spans it.
Of course, when passing here, it had not yet reached the point of vastness and endlessness, so this high arch bridge was created.
The last time we went back from the provincial capital, the car with Ye Xiaojiao and others passed by quite smoothly.
Unexpectedly, there was a charge this time.
Those who collected money were none other than some villagers living in Dagang Village.
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, especially in this kind of land where there is no care, and coupled with the extreme poverty, the evil in some people's hearts gradually emerges.
No, we directly launched a river-crossing toll "experience" project.
The drivers passing by were all confused, but most of them felt that the strong dragon could not defeat the local snake, so they paid five yuan and left smoothly.
But this time we encountered a problem.
A very stubborn driver just won't pay.
The people in Dagang Village are also very strict and won't let you pass.
Just, blocked.
There are more and more cars coming behind, some complaining and some supporting.
The driver in front had no advantage when it came to one person versus many people.
But they couldn't resist the support of enthusiastic people. Gradually, the two sides actually formed a confrontation, and they were very unwilling to give in at all.
Ye Xiao also went in and started cheering, but not long after, he was forcefully pulled back by his elder brother.
"Have you forgotten what dad told us?"
When you go out, listen more, talk less, and especially don't join in the fun.
Ye Xiao shrank his neck guiltily and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it won't be over for a while.
Ye Yuan was also a little worried. As he was talking, the brothers had returned to their car and couldn't help but ask about Ye Xiaojiao and Fang Zihuai. After finishing speaking, even Ye Yuan himself was slightly stunned.
He doesn't know when he started, but he has long regarded his sister as someone who can talk to him on an equal footing and can even be vaguely relied on.
Ye Xiaojiao looked at Fang Zihuai, who was very scheming, and wanted to hear his opinion first.
In the previous life, the toll collection project at Shiqiao in Dagang Village lasted for many years.
There have been several turmoils here, mostly due to stubborn people who didn't want to pay, and the two sides couldn't stop arguing and started fighting.
Even if it makes a big fuss and people die, it will end in nothing.
Many years later, these people who collected fees here were uprooted together with the protective umbrella behind them.
Peace has finally been restored to this land.
"Our car should be moved aside first to avoid being affected if something happens."
Fang Zihuai thought for a while and expressed his opinion calmly.
After a pause, he added:
"We'll see later. If it doesn't work, let's hand over the money first. Don't go head-on. Then we can go back and slowly inquire about the specific situation here. Brother Yan, what do you think?"
Ge Yanjun meant exactly this and looked at Fang Zihuai approvingly.
"Protect yourself first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
But just as a few people finished their discussion, suddenly there was another riot in front of them, and it was even more fierce than the one just now.
"No, get in the car quickly!"
After all, Ge Yanjun had seen all kinds of troubles. As soon as he saw something was wrong, he immediately called everyone up.
Fang Zihuai's reaction speed was a second faster than his. He had already opened the door and half-lifted Ye Xiaojiao into the car.
Ye Xiaojiao?
And Fang Zihuai himself quickly went up.
Ge Yanjun and Ye Yuan were both very fast, but only Ye Xiao.
He was not disobedient. After hearing the instructions, he quickly got into the car.
However, someone happened to retreat from the front in a panic, and suddenly bumped into Ye Xiao, knocking his body far away and falling to the ground.
In this short period of time, Ye Xiao missed the best time to get on the bus.
Those zombie-like people from behind rushed over in a swarm.
"Third Brother!"
Ye Xiaojiao saw this scene in the car and immediately exclaimed.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao stood up quickly and managed to avoid being trampled into a pulp.
But it was extremely difficult for him to get back into the car.
In the eyes of Ye Xiaojiao and others in the car, Ye Xiao was like a poor little boy who had fallen into the water. They tried desperately to pull him up, but he was washed away every time.
At this time, some people carrying iron bars rushed over from behind and beat the drivers and the like when they saw them.
"Boom!"
Some people were beaten to a bloody head and fell to the ground. The scene was so shocking that it was difficult to tell whether they were alive or dead.
Ye Yuan was shocked when he saw this and wanted to go down immediately.
Fang Zihuai got out of the car faster, and just when the iron rod was about to hit Ye Xiao's head, he kicked it away.
The perpetrator also stumbled and fell to the ground, only to be stepped on by the people behind him.
What a mess.
Fang Zihuai grabbed Ye Xiao and went back against the current again, kicking several people away before going back with some difficulty.
Ye Yuan was shocked!
Ge Yanjun looked over with admiration: "Brother, what a skill!"
Ye Xiao slumped in her seat with a look of fear on her face. She didn't forget to check the car door and make sure it was locked before she felt relieved.
At a certain moment, he felt that his life was about to be decided there.
"Brother, brother. No, brother-in-law, thanks."
Starting today, Ye Xiao unilaterally announced: This is his forever brother-in-law!
The riot outside gradually subsided. Fortunately, no one died, but it didn't look much better.
Ye Xiaojiao thought for a while, then took the first aid kit she carried with her, picked out a few people who were bleeding, and bandaged them briefly.
No reward for anything, just do more good deeds to make yourself feel at ease.
Those watching the bridge were also frightened. They were clearly about to win just now, and the young man who suddenly came out was a little fierce.
Just like that, the originally good situation actually took a turn!
hateful!
Deadlock again.
Seeing that the sky is getting dark, everyone can only "set up camp".
I don’t know when snowflakes began to drift in the sky, falling on the ground and disappearing in an instant.
But as the number of snowflakes increased, they finally gained the upper hand, covering the dark ground layer by layer.
There are more and more cars blocked behind.
Ye Xiaojiao and others had already started to light a fire and cook.
Fortunately, this time I thought the large iron pots sold in the provincial capital were good, so I brought one back.
Are you thinking that since you are moving into a new house, you should also change your pots and pans, right?
There are also those thick blankets that are said to have been shipped from Shanghai, with big velvet red flowers on them. In later generations, they would be called tacky, but now they are a magic weapon to keep warm!
There is also wine, but it is not Maotai that I plan to take home and stock up on.
On such a cold day, it’s not too much to open a bottle and drink something to warm yourself up, right?
Those cold and hungry drivers next to you? ?
