Chapter 281: Baita Town

Seeing Lu Xin taking notes seriously, Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou looked at each other quietly, not daring to disturb or peek.

They had confidence in Lu Xin, not only because they had personally experienced his "curing ghosts", but also because of Lu Xin's unique temperament. Look at him, after agreeing to this, he kept his eyes on Chetou, writing and drawing on the mysterious little notebook, looking mysterious and professional, and completely different from ordinary people like them...

Of course, there is another important reason.

Last night, Chetou actually let him go, and didn't choose anyone all night, which was something they didn't expect. Now they are also wondering if Chetou can still rest honestly like yesterday tonight.

If this can really go on, wouldn't it be equivalent to curing it?

"Gulp..."

The fragrance in the pot became stronger and stronger, and it was almost cooked.

Lu Xin also put down the notebook in his hand, and then carefully put his fountain pen with gold wire back into the bag.

Xiao Zhou on the side looked at him enviously: "Brother Xiao Lu is really a particular person, the pens he uses are so beautiful..."

...

"Lao Zhou, Lao Wang, Lao Sun, Lao Li... those whose cars are more than five years old, go to the front of the car to gather..."

Before the three people had time to serve their food, they suddenly heard someone blowing a whistle and shouting.

Old Zhou, who had just picked up the bowl, turned pale: "This time...what are you going to do this time?"

"What are you thinking?"

The whistle blower glared at him: "This time I'm calling you guys over to discuss something!"

"Discuss something?"

Old Zhou was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Okay, let's go!"

Lu Xin also thought about it and planned to follow, but the person in charge of calling people immediately looked at him and said: "Brother, if you follow our team, no one will say anything to you, but it's not convenient for you to follow us when we discuss things."

Lu Xin thought about it and thought what he said made sense, so he nodded: "Okay."

"Little Brother Lu, shall I serve you a bowl first?"

Little Zhou advised diligently, but he himself had no intention of picking up his chopsticks first.

Lu Xin shook his head and said: "Wait for your uncle to come back and eat together!"

Although the uncle and nephew agreed to pack their own meals, it was polite to wait for people to come and eat together.

Fortunately, after a short wait, Lao Zhou and several other old drivers who were called over came back together. It was obvious that Lao Zhou frowned and looked tangled. He didn't eat in a hurry, but took out the map as soon as he sat down.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Xiao Zhou asked with concern, glancing at Lao Zhou's belt.

"What are you looking at? Nothing."

"Am I the kind of person who would let your aunt down?"

Lao Zhou glared at his nephew and said, "The driver called us over to talk about the itinerary. Take a look..."

Then he pulled the map over and said, "We just explored the road a little bit more and came back to say that the bridge on Hongdao Liangzi was swallowed by a mudslide some time ago and collapsed for most of the way. We can't go this way, so we have to temporarily change the route to go around."

"Detour?"

Xiao Zhou was a little nervous.

Although drivers like them who run in the wilderness often take detours, they are also afraid of detours.

Detours often represent some unplanned troubles.

"Yes."

Lao Zhou frowned, sighed, and said: "We found out early and haven't entered that section of the road yet, so changing the route is not a big problem. But if we take this detour, if we go to the road on the west, we have to take a big detour to get to the central city. Our schedule was originally very spacious. We can deliver the goods in five days and have fun along the way, but this detour is not certain."

"I don't think we can make it within five days."

"..."

Xiao Zhou suddenly became a little nervous: "What should we do?"

For the fleet, whether it can deliver on time is a big problem.

Sometimes, if the trip is delayed, you can't run this trip.

If you encounter some strict ones, they will not want your goods directly, and you will have to pay a lot inside and out.

"The head of the car is also considering it."

Old Zhou said, pointing to an area on the map that was blackened with a pencil, and said: "If it really doesn't work, we have to go through Baita Town and then go directly to the back of Hongdaoliangzi. There are more roads there, so we can get there in time."

"Baita Town?"

Xiao Zhou's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said: "That's an abandoned city, isn't it said to be haunted?"

"Tsk..."

Old Zhou sucked his teeth and said: "Which abandoned city doesn't have rumors of haunted cities?"

Originally, he wanted to scold his nephew, but thinking of the fact that the uncle and nephew had just encountered a ghost yesterday, he was actually a little unsure in his heart, and lowered his voice and said: "We have discussed these things, but the head of the car has decided that she and the scouts will go to this town early tomorrow morning to explore. Our main force will wait where they are. After confirming that there is no problem with the town, we will be notified to go there."

"Do you want to explore the road?"

Xiao Zhou was more energetic after hearing this, and said, "Who's going? I want to sign up, too."

Lao Zhou glared at him and said, "Are you not afraid of the front of the car?"

Xiao Zhou said, "I'm afraid of her at night, but not during the day..."

He said thoughtfully, "You need a motorcycle to explore the road, but I don't have one..."

Suddenly he looked at Lu Xin and said, "Brother Lu, can I borrow your motorcycle to drive?"

Lu Xin had just scooped a bowl of vegetables from the pot, and his face turned red after hearing this.

He picked up the chopsticks silently without answering him.

How can you borrow a motorcycle casually...

Fortunately, at this time, Lao Zhou had slapped his nephew to serve the dishes, and scolded him, "Do you want to explore the road or take the opportunity to drive the motorcycle? Give up this idea as soon as possible. Sister Gao is doing serious business. You have no experience. If you follow her, it will not be enough to cause trouble..."

"Okay then..."

Xiao Zhou muttered and served his uncle one less spoonful of vegetables.

At night, everyone leaned against the side of the car, some warmed themselves by the fire, some chatted.

Not far away, someone sang in a pinched voice: "Waiting for the moment when my beloved returns..."

"I'll warm your bed..."

...

Lu Xin sorted out the notes he had taken that day and considered whether to call Han Bing again. However, this day's observation did not seem to have much results. Compared with what he experienced last night and the scene his sister secretly saw later, the driver named Gao Ting behaved too normal throughout the day, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But it was precisely because of this normality that it formed a sharp contrast with her abnormality last night, which made it even more weird.

Then let's see if she will have another attack at night...

Lu Xin thought to himself, maybe when she is really doing that, her behavior may be different from usual...

Suddenly, Lu Xin realized a serious problem:

"My sister is responsible for night observation, what if she sees something she shouldn't see..."

He got anxious all of a sudden, his sister is just a child!

When he was about to call his sister back, he suddenly heard a whistle in the distance.

Lu Xin was startled, and the other veteran drivers were also startled, and hurriedly turned their heads to look over.

But unexpectedly, after the whistle sounded, it was Lao Chen who came out to explore the road.

He cursed: "Don't think about it, go to bed early, the head of the car has to explore the road tomorrow."

Although his curse was very unpleasant, all the veteran drivers knew that this was a hint to everyone that the head of the car would not pick people today?

How could it be? Suddenly changed his nature?

Many people thought of Lu Xin yesterday and subconsciously looked towards the tent of Lao Zhou and his nephew.

Even Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou looked strange, and Xiao Zhou subconsciously asked: "Brother Lu, have you cured the front of the car?"

Lu Xin himself was a little confused. Is it already cured?

I haven't done anything yet...

But he didn't want Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou to see his doubts, so he just nodded silently, and then added:

"We need to continue to observe!"

Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou immediately cast an admiring look at him.

Lu Xin felt a little proud, and at the same time thought: If she really gets better, then is it my credit?

Is this half-cart of goods that was searched for safe?

...

Of course, because they were used to the fear of being dominated by the front of the car, everyone didn't sleep well that night.

Many veteran drivers said that it would be better to pick up people early in the morning like before, rather than spend a night in fear. I have to admit that sometimes, listening to the smirk of the driver and the panicked shouts of the young man to fall asleep...

is also a kind of enjoyment!

There was nothing to do for the whole morning, so Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhou also ate breakfast and wiped their faces.

The two dark-skinned uncles and nephews looked much whiter.

It was not until noon that they saw a motorcycle coming back from a distance, waving a green flag.

Several veteran drivers who had been waiting at the intersection immediately greeted it.

After a while, a whistle sounded, and the messenger rode a motorcycle and shouted loudly:

"Get ready to go!"

"The front of the car has already taken people to run back and forth in the town. There is no problem, we can pass."

"..."

The old drivers who had been waiting impatiently got on the car immediately and drove out one by one.

Lu Xin sat in the co-pilot seat, watching the large trucks in front of him drive onto the road one by one, shaking and driving on the road that was already a little bumpy. The car he was sitting in, Lao Zhou, was ranked at the back of the entire team, numbered 19th.

The road ahead was the same as the original plan, but when it came to an intersection ten miles away, there was a motorcycle waiting here.

The people in the car kept waving the green flag in their hands, pointing to another angry road.

They were more thoughtful, because they were worried that some confused people would go the wrong way.

The angry road was narrower than the main road, but there was no problem driving these large trucks.

Because there are fewer cars on this road, the road condition is better than the main road.

When you drive into this road, you can see that the road is crooked and extends all the way to a city four or five miles away.

That city should be the Baita Town mentioned by Lao Zhou and his friends.
