This group of people dragged over the equipment and under the personal supervision of Feicui, Dahuangya and his accomplices simply went all out and replaced the four punctured tires of my RV with four intact tires.

Dahuangya said flatteringly that there are plenty of scrapped cars on the road now, and some of the scrapped cars' tires are actually quite new, so their cost is not actually high. I found the way he bares his teeth at Feicui very funny, and it seems that he was defeated by Feicui.

Feicui told Dahuangya that the solar panel circuit of this RV was broken, and asked if anyone could repair it. One of them did know how to repair the circuit line of the car, but he said that the solar panel might be seriously aged and soon scrapped, and if there was a problem in the future, it would have to be replaced with a new one. When he connected the circuit board of this RV, Dahuangya reacted and asked: "Little brother, you are not passing by, are you? I think you are with them?"

Feicui replied coldly: Isn't that nonsense? If we are not together, who will stand up for others in this day and age?

After Dahuangya and his team renovated our car from inside to outside, I felt that my car performed better, started faster, and the braking and clutching were much smoother. My mood immediately improved.

Before leaving, I asked them, "Don't we have the skills? Why are we doing this kind of forced selling?"

Dahuangya answered me with a look of grievance: Brother, you don’t know, there are too few people driving on the road since the disaster. There were many repair shops before, but there was less work. Also, in the past, they only had to leave a phone number and customers would come to their door to repair cars, but now they have to go out on the road to find business. Prices are getting more and more expensive, and there are fewer and fewer jobs. They also lost their way in thinking.

I finally gave him 1000 yuan, thinking that they had spent so much time tinkering with the car and had done a major overhaul, so I should give them more.

Dahuangya was very happy to receive the money and wished us a safe journey. Feicui warned him that if he saw them doing bad things and blackmailing people again, he would beat them up. Dahuangya was so scared that his face turned pale instantly.

Before we left, I asked passers-by for directions to Tianmu Base, and it turned out to be the opposite direction to Mid-Levels Base. I actually wanted to go back to Mid-Levels Base first to arrange accommodation for my sister and grandfather before sending Xiaobai off, but then I thought that Xiaobai might be more anxious to find his parents, and I was worried about leaving him alone somewhere else with my sister and grandfather, so I hesitated for a moment and didn't say what I was thinking.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon after we left the market. I honked the horn to ask Lin Lin in front of me to stop the car. I jumped out and asked them to get in my car and have a quick lunch, because there was enough space for six people to sit on the dining table in the RV.

Just now at the market, Lin Lin bought two smoked rabbits, Xiaobai bought a box of sweet and sour pork in bulk, my little sister bought some soy sauce pancakes, and my grandpa bought some mixed peanuts, cucumber, green onions, and fish sauce. I also took out a few big steamed buns that I steamed yesterday from my space. I put them into my space right after they came out of the pot, and they are still smoking when I took them out. I just said that I steamed them in the car again. I charged the car for a whole morning and now the RV has enough power, including the car refrigerator in the car. I pretended to take out drinks, beer and mineral water from the car refrigerator.

A plate of smoked rabbit, a box of sweet and sour pork, peanuts, green onions and cucumbers, fish sauce for dipping, steamed buns, and iced drinks I brought out. They were curious about where the beer came from. I asked them if the refrigerator had been fixed. In fact, they didn't notice that the refrigerator had not been fixed for a long time, but the drinks were very cold.

Now we are not afraid of being checked for drunk driving. Lin Lin and Xiao Bai accompanied Grandpa and Feicui to drink a can of beer each. In order to lose weight, I decided not to drink alcohol and drank mineral water instead.

While eating, Xiaobai couldn't help but admire, because today was the first time he saw Feicui's skills. He said no wonder Lin Lin recognized you as the boss, your ability is so strong, second only to my sister!

Jade was a little dissatisfied when she heard that she was not as good as others, and asked back, "Isn't your sister just a female special forces soldier? How can you prove that she is worse than me?"

Jade was obviously not convinced.

I said that the special forces should be stronger than you. You only have brute force and don't know any martial arts moves. You may not be able to beat others when you go out. So don't always start a fight right away. You will suffer sooner or later.

Feicui glanced at me, pointed her finger at me, and said sourly: What do you mean by your secret crush? Are you unhappy?

I couldn't argue with her, so I just lowered my head and ate. After dinner, we continued driving forward.

The journey was not easy, and we sometimes had to take detours and ask for directions. Although we had a map, the earthquake had collapsed the landmarks, and we were used to following navigation instructions, so it was a bit difficult to read a map, so we wasted a lot of time.

Suddenly I found a very busy place in front of me. There was a slope on the roadside in front of me, and next to the slope was a large yard. There was a sign on the gate that said "Motel"! Inside the yard was a large bungalow. There were many cars parked in the parking lot in the yard, and there was even a large tanker. However, from the mud on the car, it seemed that the car was abandoned here. However, it did not affect the hotel's continued operation, and the door of the hotel was open.

Lin Lin drove the car into the yard, so I followed him in. Lin Lin came to me and said that it was getting late, and this place seemed quite reliable. The roads were not safe, and what if we encountered robbers again? We should not leave at night and stay here for the night.

I readily agreed, as I was also afraid of encountering robbers again.

After entering the store and asking, I found out that the Tianmu base was not far ahead. It seemed that we had not taken the wrong path. After entering the house, I understood why this store was still intact after the earthquake. It turned out that this house was a wooden structure, and the walls were made of thick cloth like a tent, which perfectly avoided the collapse during the earthquake. The boss said that they were also affected but it was repaired in a few days.

The truck drivers at the door were not injured, but the road was blocked at that time and the vehicles could not move away. Most of them went to the Tianmu base, and these vehicles were only temporarily placed in their yard for safekeeping.

Upon asking, we found out that their specialty is barbecue. They obviously have a supply channel as they are next to the cattle and sheep ranch, so their business is pretty good now. We also saw other guests in several other private rooms.

When we heard it was barbecue, we were a little greedy. It has been a long time since we had barbecue. In the past, our family would go to a restaurant to eat barbecue only during festivals or when there were some happy events at home. If we think about it carefully, the next happy day will be my little sister Zhenzhu’s birthday. Her birthday is in October, and it is already late September. Thinking about the current situation, will anyone celebrate National Day on October 1st?

I was distracted again.

The decoration inside this restaurant is quite simple, just like an ordinary farmhouse. We happily squeezed into a compartment to have a good meal, and sat around the table. There was a hole in the center of the table where the charcoal fire was placed, and there was an iron plate covering it, which was the grill!

I asked the boss lady how much a plate of meat cost?

The owner of the shop is a lady in her 40s. She told us enthusiastically that their meat is sold by ounce. Well, food is very precious now after the natural disaster, and beef now costs 40 yuan per ounce.

Lin Lin and I jumped up in surprise at the same time. What kind of meat costs 40 yuan per tael? Dragon meat?

The proprietress explained: A lot of cows died on Tianmu Ranch after the earthquake. At that time, there was a shortage of electricity and roads were blocked, so the cold storage and cold chain could not be used. A lot of meat was distributed to surrounding villages for fear that the meat would go bad. A batch was pickled, smoked and roasted, and another batch was burned for fear of spreading the epidemic. Most of them are calves now, and there are very few beef cattle available. These are the goods she got from the base through her connections.

Although I felt that there was some truth in her words, but since they charged such a high price, there must be a reason for it. Besides, we have already gotten in, so it would be embarrassing to leave.

I calculated that the six of us would have to eat at least four pounds of beef, which would cost one thousand six hundred yuan. Oh my God! Adding other things, this meal would cost at least two thousand yuan!

It’s too expensive. It’s too expensive. I really can’t afford it.

Xiaobai said generously, "I'll treat you to this meal. Please order some food!"
