Chapter 22
42
The red sunset in the Gobi desert shines on the castle slanted, giving people a feeling of depression, but it makes this castle exudes a kind of tragic and vicissitudes.
The towering city walls drooped with long shadows under the setting sun. The desert in the distance was burned red by the sunset. Only at the junction of heaven and earth was faintly desolate.
When he returned, he had walked less than halfway. Fugui looked at the oil gauge and asked Du Shengli casually: "How far is it from our station?"
Du Shengli looked at it and said, "About sixty or seventy kilometers, what's wrong? Fugui, let's drive quickly, or you'll miss the performance."
Liu Long said at the top of his voice: "It's light to miss the performance. We've sneaked out. If the captain finds out, it's over."
Fugui smiled helplessly and said, "I'll tell you bad news, there's not enough oil."
Liu Long almost jumped up, stared at Fugui and shouted: "What did you say? What did you drive? Why didn't you refuel when you came out?"
Fugui said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know you ran so far. I originally thought you would just play around."
Li Ming looked around with a gloomy face and said, "Let's walk forward and see if there is a gas station nearby?"
Du Shengli looked around and said with his head down, "There are few people here, where can we get a gas station?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car bumped a few times and lay there and stopped moving.
Fugui patted the steering wheel and scolded: "It's really irritating."
The sun is about to set, and the sunset dyes the empty Gobi red, and the surroundings are quiet without any sound.
They sat in the car in a daze.
Liu Long lit a cigarette and muttered on the backrest: "Let's just say don't come out to play, you insist on pulling me, it's okay, I'll be unlucky with you."
Fugui glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "When can't you say it? When I went to drive, the car had not come out yet. You were faster than anyone else and had already gotten on the bus."
Jin Hui looked at the silent Liming and said, "You are trying to find a way, what should I do?"
Li Mingyang closed his eyes in his seat and said, "I can't do anything, why don't everyone take turns pushing the cart."
Du Shengli, who had been silent, suddenly stopped everyone and pricked up their ears and heard: "Listen, what's the sound?"
Everyone calmed down, and sure enough, the sound of a motor came from a distance. Li Ming sat up excitedly and said, "Stop him, let's buy his oil."
Du Shengli asked: "Who brought the money?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
When Fugui left, he didn't look at the gasoline meter and knew that he had made a mistake. At this time, he had to stand up and said, "If you don't bring the money, let's go on credit first and give it to me later. You can see mine."
After a while, a truck gradually approached.
Fugui went up to stop him, and the driver rolled down the window and looked at them nervously. Fugui leaned over and handed a cigarette: "Master, our car has no gas, can you buy some?"
The driver looked at their military uniforms and smiled and said, "My car is a diesel car, you can't use it."
Fugui heard the sound of the car and said disappointedly: "Then do you know if there is a gas station in front of you?"
The driver thought for a while, pointed to the back and said, "The gas station is far away from here, about dozens of kilometers."
It was getting darker, and they pushed the cart in sweat and slowly moved back.
Liu Long wiped his sweat and sat down and cursed: "Grandma, I'm tired, so take a break."
Du Shengli stopped, fanned the corner of his clothes and said, "This is not a solution. After all, there are more than 60 or 70 kilometers. When can I get there when I walk like this?"
Fugui didn't say anything, and he said embarrassedly: "It's all my fault. If the captain criticizes it, it's mine."
Li Ming saw him: "Who are you? I am the captain, and even criticism is my business."
After resting for a while, everyone was about to push the cart when suddenly a faint light appeared in front of them. Everyone stopped and looked carefully.
Liu Long heard the voice and said excitedly: "It's a car, look, it's a light."
Liming thought for a while and said, "We all took off our military uniforms and took off our license plates. On the road, he would have to borrow this time, and he would have to borrow it even if he didn't."
When everyone got the car in a row, the car gradually got closer.
The driver came with a white car. When he saw the car crossing on the road, he was about to get off the window and poke his head out: "What's going on?"
Li Ming nodded to Fugui. Fugui walked up and took out a cigarette and said, "Master, our car is out of gas. Look, it's dark. Can you borrow some?"
When the driver heard this, he felt like he had cramps, he suddenly retracted his head, leaving only a crack in the car window: "My car is not much oil anymore, and I have a long way to go, I'm so sorry."
Fugui looked at Liming behind him. Liming nodded. He took a wire from the car and opened the door of the car after a while. The driver asked nervously: "What are you doing? Are you robbing? Do you know that this is illegal?"
Fugui smiled and said, "We will borrow a little, and we won't finish all the smoking."
The driver jumped out of the car and covered the gas tank mouth and said, "I really have no gas, so don't smoke it."
When Dawn went up, the driver was thrown to the side of the road. Du Shengli went up and helped him up and said, "Master, thank you." He looked at his clothes and said, "Master or someone from the army?"
Fugui was busy pumping oil. Liming walked up and held the man's hand and said, "Comrade, you are such a timely help. Thank you very much. Which army are you from? In two days, we will write you a letter of praise to express our family affection."
Fugui pumped good oil, started the good car, and honked the horn at Liming.
Liming jumped into the car, stared at the man who was staring at them with a look of shame and said, "Master, goodbye, we will definitely write you a letter of praise."
