Fleeing All the Way South
After Yue Huayang killed Lian 'er in front of everyone, he immediately escaped from the ancestral land where his family had lived for more than 100 years. He could still clearly remember that his ancestors came here at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was because this place was a continuous and sparsely populated mountainous area at that time, so it was relatively safe to avoid the turmoil in the following decades. However, unfortunately, it still happened. During the Changsha War of Resistance during the Republic of China, because the National Government resisted the Japanese army during the Battle of Changsha. This place became a battlefield again. At that time, the people of the tribe decided to stay behind to resist the Japanese, while some chose to flee. Thus, they separated into a small branch of the tribe.
Because their small branch took away the family tree, their already incomplete family history became an even more blurred memory. Although they had revised the family tree several times during this period, it was destroyed in the end during the Cultural Revolution. Only the most ancient worship of the family and some ancient teachings were passed down.
Now, he knew that he had killed someone, and that he was the son of a high-ranking official. There would be a lot of trouble in the future. He felt that the country would not be safe anymore. He chose to go to Kokang in Myanmar because he had a good friend who was doing medicinal herbs business in the Kokang area of Myanmar. He bought cheap medicinal herbs from other ethnic autonomous areas around Kokang and then sold them at a high price in China. Due to the high profits, he had some connections with the local military forces, so he could be considered a small figure in the local area.
Yue Hua Yang walked out of his village and saw a few cars parked near the village on the highway. They were all beautiful and eye-catching. There was also a group of people running towards the cars. From the color of their clothes, they looked like the group of people who had just been in his house. This made him feel disgusted, but at the same time, there was a trace of inexplicable sadness. Although he wanted to go over and do something that had nothing to do with violence, what could he do? It was meaningless.
He looked at the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau highway. There were people traveling aimlessly from south to north. He knew that Dongting Lake in the north was becoming a large flooded area, and the Dongjiang Water Power Station, a tributary of the Xiangjiang River in the south, had released water for no reason, filling the river. It was said that the water was poisonous and had soaked part of the urban areas along the river. Tens of thousands of people had died. The city was in chaos.
All the people in the lower areas were running up the mountain. They were originally part of this, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Facing the highway that extended to the south, he could only go to the other ordinary National Road 107 in the west because he felt that it would be safer that way. At least the open road was more convenient for him.
The 107 highway in the west was about ten kilometers away from his current location. He followed the familiar rural road all the way west. Along the way, there were villages with power failures. Accompanied by the sound of chickens and dogs barking, as well as the tired yawns of the villagers who had stayed up for almost a night, he passed by simple tents (plastic or cloth) beside the mountain roads one after another. Sometimes, he would hear simple questions or jokes from people who knew him, and he would simply answer that he was going to a relative's house beside the national highway.
From their behavior, it seemed that they did not know what had happened to him. They were more concerned about whether the flood from the Yangtze River or the Xiang River would reach them. After all, this was an evacuation notice issued by the government.
Yue Hua Yang walked slowly when he met people, and walked quickly when he didn't see anyone. An hour later, the sky was already bright, and he had only walked half the way, but he had to cross a big bridge. Fortunately, there was no one on the road, so he walked quickly. At this time, the sound of a motorcycle came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was an old friend he knew in Lin Village. At the same time, the other party also saw him. The motorcycle quickly stopped beside him. Yue Hua Yang had no choice but to stop and start their conversation.
The motorbike driver asked,"Brother Yang, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Yue Huayang: Oh, Zeng Xian, what are you doing? Why are they coming from the east so early in the morning?
Zeng Xian said,"Isn't this a blackout? Even the internet is cut off!" The village arranged for me to go and see the current situation of the water in the river so that I could understand it in advance!
Yue Hua Yang said,"Oh, it's the situation now."
Zeng Xian said," The water on the Xiangjiang River has stopped draining. The water level is dropping very quickly. However, I heard from the people at the water station that a section of the Xiangjiang River is flowing backward. It's not safe yet."
Yue Huayang said,"How can water flow backward like this?"
Zeng Xian said,"Haha, you don't know about this, do you?" Because the water level of Dongting Lake was higher than here, of course, it had to flow backward. It was said that the area of Dongting Lake had expanded several times, and a large part of Changsha had been submerged...
Yue Hua Yang asked in surprise,"I heard that the water has become poisonous. How many people will die?"
Zeng Xian said: Alas! I heard that Changsha is almost empty now. The people in the city are all running to the mountains now. It's so miserable... Oh right, where are you going?
Yue Huayang was thinking about where the tens of millions of people in Changsha City might have gone when he heard Zeng Xian ask him again, so he said, He was going to visit his relatives on the national highway. He wondered how this lonely old man's relative had spent the night.
He was afraid that Zeng Xian would find it difficult to deal with the matter of running away when he met the village chief later. He just happened to tell a lie.
Zeng Xian didn't think too much about it and asked," It was such a long journey, and he didn't even ride a bicycle. How long would it take to walk? Come, get on.
Yue Huayang said helplessly,"I forgot to charge the electric bike at home and can't ride it." You'd better hurry back to the village and report! Don't worry about me.
Zeng Xian insisted on letting him get into the car. He even pulled him by the hand and said, At this distance, it would only take a few minutes to send you there. Besides, the matter in the village isn't a big deal. It's still very early for the water to reach here. It might not even reach here. If anything happens, we can rely on Beidou's information to inform you. In the future, we won't have to go to the Xiangjiang River.
Yue Hua Yang thought that the next section of the road could be taken along the village road. In a few minutes, they would reach the 107 National Road. It was the opposite direction from him, so there was no danger. He got on the motorcycle, thanked him, and started a new conversation.
Yue Huayang said,"Didn't Beidou Communication not allow individuals to send messages to others?" But now…
Zeng Xian started the motorcycle and said with a smile, I don't know the specifics, but after sending some codes, the system will automatically answer some corresponding query results, just like how mobile and unicom check the phone bill.
The motorbike sped along the undulating country road. As it was early in the morning, there were not many people along the way. The wind in their ears drowned out the sound of their voices. As soon as they opened their mouths, they breathed in a cold breath, so the two of them did not speak. Soon, they could see the national road in the distance, which shocked the two of them.
The traffic on the 107 National Road from Changsha to the south was packed like a huge traffic jam. The average speed was less than 15 kilometers per hour. There was also a huge army of motorcycles heading south. One could not see the end at a glance.
The two of them parked the car more than 100 meters away from the national highway because the road leading to the national highway was blocked by three cars.
As soon as Zeng Xian stopped, a few people dashed out from the side. They looked at each other and realized that they were from the same village. They knew Zeng Xian. After some understanding, it turned out that the village had specially blocked the road to prevent refugees from flooding into the village.
He said goodbye to Zeng Xian and walked to the national highway alone. After passing through the bow-shaped barricade, he finally reached the national highway.
On both the north and south sides of the national highway, the roads heading south were packed with cars and motorcycles. They stretched from the end of the northern sky to the end of the southern sky. They were so densely packed that one could not see the end at a glance. The road to the north was empty with only a few cars driving. Looking into the distance, it was so empty that it was unreal. This was because the wall in the middle of the road had forcefully divided the two sides of the road into two completely different situations.
The road to the north was empty, and the road to the south was crowded. Facing such a strange situation, Yue Huayang couldn't help but sigh and look at this spectacular scene.
At this moment, he saw a car with a flashing roof driving in the opposite direction on the empty road north. It was getting closer and closer. From afar, he could see that it was a standard police car. Although it was still far away, it still made his heart tremble. He lifted his leg and ran to the other side of the road. In a few steps, he crossed the two-lane road north and jumped onto the wall. Then, he flashed left and right in front of the dense traffic, causing a long series of car horns. Some drivers even stuck their heads out of the car window and shouted at Yue Huayang," Are you f * cking courting death? You don't even have eyes. Even if you want to die, don't disgust me.
Yue Hua Yang could only helplessly calm his heart. With his heart beating violently, he thought," I'm safe here. If it weren't for the years of training, I wouldn't be so agile. It's really difficult to complete such a difficult move."
He stood beside the dense traffic and saw the details of the traffic. The two-lane road to the south was packed with three rows of cars. The innermost row was lined with two cars, and the outermost layer was a hybrid combination of cars and motorcycles. There were even some agricultural vehicles driving in the outermost row. The sound of the fuel engine drowned out the hubbub of human voices, but one could still hear the voices of dissatisfaction and insults.
There were very few people walking in the entire traffic. Perhaps it was because they were far enough from Changsha City that it was difficult to walk here. However, there were still some people walking. Most of them were pushing electric scooters or motorcycles. Perhaps it was because there was no electricity or fuel in the cars, but they were all expressionless. Perhaps they had no destination and were following the traffic.
The traffic on the road quickly ran ahead of him. He followed them in the bustling traffic, lost and aimless.
Time passed quickly and slowly. He looked at the people in the bustling traffic, and the people in the cars would look at him from time to time. Everyone's faces revealed confusion and fatigue. They were bound to the road like animals trapped in a pipeline and could only move forward.
Soon, the two innermost rows of cars stopped at the same time, and even the outermost row of cars slowed down. Needless to say, another accident must have happened in front. In less than an hour, he had encountered several accidents, big and small. Many of them were dealt with violently, clearing the road to let the traffic continue. After all, so many cars would run out of fuel from time to time or have other faults. He was already used to it.
Similarly, a circle of people quickly gathered in the south of his field of vision. It seemed that the accident had happened there. He walked briskly. When he reached there, he could watch the show and take a break.
As the distance was not very far, he was close to it in two minutes. There was a fight in the crowd. When he squeezed into the crowd, the fighting had stopped, leaving only a young man and a woman lying on the ground. It seemed that the two of them were the unlucky ones. The surrounding people were still discussing. After a brief understanding, he knew what had happened.
It turned out that there was a traffic jam here. The people in the car had been rushing on this road for most of the night and had not eaten anything. Therefore, they wanted to get out of the car to get something to eat while they were stuck in the traffic jam. Their things were all in the trunk. Therefore, this man, the driver, got out of the car to look for something in the trunk. Perhaps they had placed their things too messily, the man searched for a few minutes but could not find anything to eat. Hence, an accident happened at this moment. The cars in front of the car started to reverse. Perhaps because the distance between the cars was relatively close, they quickly blocked the car. However, the reversing continued, so they continued to reverse the car. At this time, the man was still rummaging through the trunk for what he was looking for. The retreating car and the other car behind him suddenly squeezed his legs together. Then, the pressure continued to apply, crushing his legs and breaking them. The reversing ended. The man's painful wail also woke up the people around him. The car behind him fell back a little, just enough to pull his legs out. Then, the man lay on the ground and wailed. The woman in the car also got out of the car and cried helplessly.
However, the crowd did not care about their pain. They only cared about the smooth passage of the road. Soon, the car in front of them drove away. As the car occupied the middle row of the road, the crowd began to shout for them to drive away as soon as possible. However, only this man could drive in this car, and at this time, his legs could not move. There were no extra drivers around to continue driving for them. After some discussion, the people around decided to drive his car into the ditch to clear the road. They were stopped by the man and woman, and then the surrounding people beat them up until they could barely move.
At this moment, a few people came out and pulled the couple to the roadside. Another person got into the driver's seat of the car. The car quickly moved forward, backward, left, and right. It seemed that the car was really going to drive into the ditch.
Yue Hua Yang took a few big steps and went around to the driver's seat. He opened the door and punched the driver in the face. At the same time, he cursed," Bastard.
The person who got into the car slammed on the brakes. He looked at his disadvantageous position and begged, Brother, let's talk things out.
Yue Hua Yang heard a four or five-year-old girl crying in the car. He couldn't help but punch the driver in anger and curse at the same time.
At the same time, a group of people quickly surrounded him. However, when they saw his cold eyes and huge fists, they stopped the urge to attack and began to say to him,
They couldn't possibly let this car stop here and block everyone's way.
He drove the car into the ditch for everyone's good.
If they had a chauffeur to drive for them, we wouldn't be like this.
This was the rule that everyone followed. Isn't that right, everyone?
Everyone said this one after another. Yue Hua Yang's heart skipped a beat. He thought that if he helped this family of three, he could only help them drive. So he said to everyone, I'll help drive this car.
After he finished speaking, he went to help the two people lying on the side of the road into the car. When everyone saw that the matter had been resolved, they also went to help him help them into the car.
The driver who came out of the driver's seat was extremely angry and wanted to find Yue Hua Yang to reason with him. However, when he saw Yue Hua Yang's unfriendly eyes and huge fists, he could only walk away silently.
Yue Hua Yang helped the two of them into the car. They were both in the back seat. Then, he got into the driver's seat and started the car. He followed the rolling traffic in front and drove slowly.
A girl said weakly,"Thank you." Then, she started crying again.
Yue Hua Yang sighed and asked," Where are you going? I'll send you there.
Woman: " I don't know. I don't have a destination, but I want to go to the hospital as soon as possible. He…he…he started crying again as he spoke."
The injured man had already fainted from the pain. His face was pale and devoid of blood.
Along the way, all the exits were blocked. No matter how much the woman begged, there was no result. Even if she took out all the cash she had on her, she could not make these people give way.
The injured man woke up a few times, but soon fainted from the pain. His legs were so swollen that his pants were full, and his lips were starting to turn dark purple. The crying woman was at a loss and could only continue to cry.
When it was almost noon, the traffic slowed down again. At this moment, a traffic police patrol car sped past in the opposite lane.
Yue Huayang suddenly thought of the patrol car in the opposite lane. Seizing the opportunity, he immediately said to the woman, From time to time, a patrol car would pass by the opposite lane. Perhaps this was the only chance for the patrol car to quickly send him to the hospital.
The woman, who had already broken down, could only helplessly nod in agreement. Then Yue Hua Yang slowly parked the car on the side of the road, blocking one-third of the road, causing people to curse. He got out of the car and carried the injured man to the other side of the road. Finally, he arrived at the wall in the middle of the road and began to wait for the arrival of the patrol car.
Ten minutes passed, but there was not a single car.
Half an hour passed, but there was still no car.
He returned to the trunk of the car to find something to eat, but none of them had an appetite and did not eat much.
After waiting for almost an hour, they finally saw a patrol car from north to south. Yue Huayang's heart was pounding, but after a closer look, it turned out that it was not a patrol car of the police and traffic police. It was a maintenance car on the road. The people in this patrol car were very enthusiastic. After understanding the situation, they took the two of them and his man into the car. Then, he whistled all the way south.
Before this, Yue Hua Yang had already discussed with the woman and agreed to let Yue Hua Yang drive the car to somewhere. He agreed.
Yue Hua Yang watched as they drove south in the patrol car and quickly disappeared from his sight. He sighed again and returned to their car. He continued to follow the dense traffic and slowly drove south. It was just that its speed was many times slower than the patrol car.
