Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

After a full meal of meat, everyone was satisfied. Touching their round bellies, they reluctantly got on the bus and set off on their return journey to Hohhot. After all, their time was limited.

The car was driving on the vast grassland, and snowflakes were floating in the sky. The snow was not heavy, but it was scattered all over the sky and covered the distant view.

Snowflakes are like white elves, flying up and down in the wind, dancing gracefully. Their dancing posture is so light, depicting a beautiful picture of snow falling in the north.

At this moment, a security officer sitting in the back of the truck suddenly felt his stomach churning and cramping, and then a stream of spiritual energy gushed out from the back door. Puff, puff, puff, a series of farts!

Then, an indescribable smell filled the air, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, staring at the security officer with unfriendly eyes.

The security officer shyly apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

At this time, the puffing sound started again. The security officer held his stomach, stood up, patted the window of the cab, and shouted: "Master Ma, Master Ma, stop the car. I can't hold it anymore. I'm going to poop."

Master Ma had no choice but to stop the car. He cursed, "Damn it, this bastard is destined to be a beggar, he can't enjoy the blessing. He must have eaten too much meat and his stomach couldn't take it."

As soon as the car stopped, the security officer jumped out of the car with great agility, and it seemed that there was no time to lose.

The others looked at his embarrassment and laughed. Two people's laughter suddenly stopped. Puff, puff, puff, and spiritual energy gushed out from their back doors.

Then, people jumped out of the car one after another, holding their stomachs and running away. But this place is relatively flat, and there is no place to hide in the open field. What can we do?

Fortunately, the falling snow covered them up. He Yuzhu and Chen Bin were both sitting in the driver's seat. Who said they were the leaders?

Seeing this situation, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Deputy Section Chief Chen, do you think I am doing something bad with good intentions?"

Chen Bin sighed: "How can I blame you? It seems that these people's families are in financial difficulty, and they usually don't have much fat in their stomachs. Suddenly eating so much meat, they can't stand it for a while."

The security officer who returned to the car said with some regret: "I just ate some meat, but before I could digest it, I defecated it again. What a pity, what a pity."

A colleague next to him said, "Why don't you go back and eat it?" This caused another burst of laughter.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Bin held a meeting with everyone. Everyone discussed the safety issues of the return trip and made various arrangements.

After dinner, everyone went to bed early and set off back to the capital tomorrow morning.

Although Hohhot is not far from Beijing, there were no smooth highways in those days, and the roads were rugged and difficult to travel. In addition, the speed of trucks at that time was not good, only about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. So being a driver was also a hard job, and no one knew why the driver became one of the eight major officials.

That evening, the convoy stopped at a commune in Hebei Province. This was planned in advance. There was a small hotel here, and they would stay here tonight.

In the evening, He Yuzhu borrowed the hotel's stove and cooked a pot of beef stewed with potatoes and a pot of Chinese cabbage stewed with vermicelli. The group had a hot meal, and those who needed to rest rested, and those who needed to be on duty went on duty.

The car was parked in the backyard of the hotel. It was called a yard, but the dilapidated wall was only one meter high and it was easy to climb in. It could only protect against gentlemen, not villains.

Chen Bin arranged two people to watch the goods on the truck, and the other two would take over after three hours, and reminded them not to sleep.

Around one o'clock in the morning, when people are most sleepy, a dark figure walked out of the hotel. He tiptoed to the back of the car, gently lifted the canvas covering it, and saw that the car was loaded with sacks. He used the knife he carried with him to cut open a sack, and in the moonlight, he saw pieces of beef.

The security guard on duty in the car did not notice this at all.

The next day, after the car had left the commune for seven or eight miles, the driver found a dead tree lying across the middle of the road. He said alertly, "Oh no, something's wrong. The road ahead is blocked, Chief Chen, check the surroundings."

Chen Bin looked around. On the left was a field of crops with corn stalks standing upright. On the right was a small mound with a forest on top.

There could be people hiding on both sides. Chen Bin said decisively: "Master Ma, stop the car when you get close to the roadblock. Director He, take two people and move the tree in front. Carry your guns with you. I and others will protect the supplies in the car."

He Yuzhu cursed: "Fuck, we really encountered robbery?" As soon as the car stopped, He Yuzhu jumped out and ran over with two people to clear the roadblock.

Chen Bin shouted loudly: "Everyone get off the car, get on the back truck, hold your guns, and load your guns. Move quickly." Then he climbed onto the back truck of the last car first. Others followed closely behind him, taking action and standing guard on both sides.

At this time, a group of people were seen running out from behind the corn stalks, and human figures also appeared on the hill.

Chen Bin decisively fired a shot into the air as a warning. The running crowd, about thirty or forty people, were startled by the gunshot and stopped in their tracks.

Chen Bin shouted loudly: "We are carrying important national supplies in our vehicle. We don't need anyone to get close to us. Otherwise, we will shoot, regardless of death or injury."

A middle-aged man said, "Nonsense, you have meat in your car. We are starving to death, we just want something to eat. Let's all come together, I don't believe they dare to shoot at the people."

Instigated by the middle-aged man, some people ran towards the car, while others were frightened by the armed security guards and stood still.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Chen Bin shot the middle-aged man who had just spoken. The bullet hit his thigh and he fell to the ground with a scream.

The people who were rushing forward stopped again. They were all ragged, pale and thin, and looked miserable. But Chen Bin knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted. They came prepared and knew that the truck was carrying meat. He didn't know how the news leaked out.

Chen Bin shouted: "Everyone has seen that we all have guns in our hands. Bullets have no eyes. If you die, you will not see the sun tomorrow."

The middle-aged man endured the pain and said: "We are also forced to do nothing. People are starving to death. We will die anyway. If we die, we will be a hero again in 20 years!"

Chen Bin cursed in his heart: "Fuck you, if you want to die, just stay away and don't bother us." Even if he really had to shoot and kill so many people, he really couldn't bear it.

At this time, He Yuzhu and others were working together to move the roadblocks. He saw out of the corner of his eye that four or five refugees were moving towards him. He took out the pistol in his arms, which was given to him by his wife before he left.

He Yuzhu shouted, "Don't move. If you move forward, I'll shoot." As a result, perhaps because he was too nervous, he pulled the trigger.

There was a loud bang and the bullet flew away, not hurting anyone, but successfully stopping the refugees.
