As night falls, insects chirp, setting off the silence of the world.
In the silence, the sound of men playing cards could be heard from time to time.
Gao Mingcheng needs a caboose, so naturally others also need a caboose. When there are more people, they will gather together to talk and pass the time!
When Gao Mingli was caboose here before, someone actually wanted to talk to Gao Mingli, but he couldn't understand the language, and Gao Mingli was not a good dancer. It was his first time to go out, and he was a little afraid of communicating with strangers.
Now it's Gao Mingcheng, it's different.
Gao Mingcheng is not afraid of those and knows many dialects. He is very smooth when communicating with others.
"Hey! Brother Mingcheng, you won again!" A strong middle-aged man said with emotion, and then gave Gao Mingcheng his gambling money.
The others also handed their gambling money to Gao Mingcheng.
"Haha, just good luck!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.
"Come again! I don't believe I can't win!" Under the urging of others, the game started again.
The wind was dark and the moon was high. In the empty parking lot, hundreds of trucks of all kinds were parked. In one place in the convoy, candlelight was bright. There was a simple wooden table, and four burly men were sitting there. Gao Mingcheng's body type is considered the slimmest among them.
Naturally, there were no wires here, so a few people lit candles and played poker by the candlelight.
Gao Mingcheng's poker skills are actually quite good. Even though he hardly ever plays, he had some skills in his previous life. When he first started playing, he lost a few games because he wasn't fully in the zone yet, but then he started winning.
It's just that he controlled it very well and didn't win all the time. He just won two games and lost one.
Men naturally don't play cards for cheating. They all play cards for money. It can be considered a kind of gambling, but no one is here to check the gambling at the moment.
But the prices they pay are not big, only 2 cents per hand, which is considered very small for these drivers who run business all year round.
The reason why he fights so young is because he is afraid of exposing his wealth and causing trouble.
Several of them are gathered here, and they all have the task of caboose. After the goods on the car are sold, it will be a big sum, and if something happens, it will be terrible.
Time passed little by little, and after playing more than a dozen cards, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
People generally go to bed early at this time, so some people become listless and even make several mistakes in playing cards.
Gao Mingcheng was in good spirits and took the opportunity to win the last round.
While collecting the money, he said: "It's getting late, brothers, let's finish it! Let's go back to the car, and we can still relax for a while."
"It's over, it's over!" Those listless people found that they always lost and had no idea of continuing to fight.
So several people got up and dispersed, going back to their cars.
Gao Mingcheng didn't get in the car immediately, but went around the car to check.
He specially bought a flashlight before, and now he used the flashlight to check around the car.
The body of the Huanghe brand heavy truck is relatively high, the compartment is closed, and the top is covered with a tarpaulin. Although it has been dry this year and it has not rained for a long time, if it rains, a truckload of medicinal materials will be damaged, so when we set off, we covered it with a tarpaulin.
There is nothing wrong with the entire car now, which means it has not been touched.
So he got in the car, sat in the driver's seat, and counted the gambling money he won, and found that there were several dollars.
He sat back and rested with his eyes closed.
He looked like he was asleep, but in fact he was still awake. Whenever there was any movement, he could react quickly.
It was quiet in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, Gao Mingcheng heard some discordant sounds. He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the dark outside.
It's four o'clock in the morning, which is when most people sleep most soundly. The noise coming from outside is not loud. If it weren't for Gao Mingcheng's ears and eyesight, he might not be able to wake up.
He didn't hesitate, but opened the car door directly, jumped out of the car gently, and walked all the way towards the place where the noise came from.
He didn't have a flashlight, but he was able to perfectly avoid all obstacles in the dark environment, and then hid behind a carriage.
Looking over, he saw a group of people climbing on top of a heavy truck using ladders, then took out daggers and cut open the tarpaulin covering the carriage.
Under the tarpaulin, there were naturally bags of medicinal materials.
"Monkey, is it ginseng?"
Someone asked softly, and the person who cut open the tarpaulin and medicinal bag replied softly: "It's ginseng, you got it right!"
"Monkey, throw it down quickly!"
"good!"
After a brief exchange, the few people stopped talking and started working.
The man codenamed "Monkey" climbing on the carriage is like a monkey, thin but nimble. Although he is thin, he is very strong. He can pick up a bag of medicinal materials in one go and then throw it to the people below.
The man below was much stronger. He stretched out his hands and accurately caught the medicinal materials, and then gently placed them on the ground.
If the medicinal materials were thrown directly on the ground, they would naturally make a louder sound, but because someone caught them, the sound was much weaker.
There were seven or eight people in their group. Some were responsible for throwing the medicinal materials, some were responsible for receiving the medicinal materials, and some were responsible for carrying the medicinal materials away.
This group of people was very courageous, and within a short time, they had already carried away three or four bags. Gao Mingcheng followed those people and saw a pickup truck parked at the edge of the parking lot, and the medicinal materials were placed there. On the pickup truck.
After all the medicinal materials have been transferred, people can drive away as soon as they get in the car.
After seeing the behavior of the group of people, Gao Mingcheng began to wonder whether he should mind his own business.
Anyone who dares to steal things like this must be a local snake. Once provoked, there is no telling whether there will be any trouble later.
Gao Mingcheng will not stay here for long. As long as the medicinal materials are sold, they can leave immediately.
While hesitating, the person responsible for guarding the car woke up!
"Tiedan, someone stole something! Get him!" A voice sounded like thunder in the silent night.
This man looks as strong as his voice.
He was as tall as a tiger and a bear. When he jumped out of the car, the ground seemed to shake. He held an iron rod in his hand and hit the group of people who were stealing things.
Gao Mingcheng recognized this person when he saw him. When chatting with people and playing cards before, he also talked to this person and asked him to play cards with him, but he refused.
Now that he heard the conversation between the thieves, Gao Mingcheng still didn't understand. It turned out that they were carrying a cart full of ginseng. No wonder they were so cautious and didn't even play cards.
And they caboose not one person, but two people.
Soon, another man named Tiedan also jumped out of the car, holding a Type 86 pistol in his hand.
In this era where guns are not allowed, it is quite common to go out with a gun.
The folk customs in the Northeast are fierce and there are many firearms. Some people who live in the mountains become hunters when they grow up. As long as they have money, they can get guns.
As soon as the owner of the car woke up, the situation changed.
The monkey group did not choose to resist, but prepared to run away.
But the two Northeasterners were not willing to let them go. One picked up an iron rod and hit one person, and the other just fired a gun.
The sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, awakening all the cabooses.
Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng decided to sell his favor.
Thanks to all my friends for your tips and monthly tickets. May everyone have a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival.
