Cola Village was located in the southwest corner of HeZhang County. The mountain road was rugged, but it was fortunate that because of the discovery of Cola County's Yalang Kingdom Ruins, a road was built. The road only had two lanes, but there were very few cars on the road.
After about an hour, Yang Bo and his group of four arrived at Cola Village.
The car was parked directly in front of the village government's gate. The gatekeeper probably thought that they were here for their superior's inspection, so he quickly opened the gate and looked at the four people. "Are you coming in?"
Yang Bo got off the carriage, and looked around. The buildings here were all relatively low, and the tallest one was a three-story building belonging to a village. Hearing the guard master's unclear question, Yang Bo could not help but wave his hand, "We are not going in, thank you."
With that, Yang Bo reached out his hand towards Luo Yaohua, "Give me a pack of cigarettes."
Receiving the packet of Zhonghua that Luo Yaohua threw over, Yang Bo walked towards the guard room, and threw the entire pack of cigarettes to the guard leader, "Great Master, do you know where Crimson Water Stronghold is?"
The guard took the cigarettes and looked at them with a smile, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth. He had seen the city officials who came here to investigate smoke these cigarettes before, and each pack was worth 50 to 60 yuan, while his monthly salary was only 500 to 600 yuan.
"Crimson Water Stronghold ah, you guys drive your cars to the west, if you walk one road, two or three hours will pass." The gatekeeper said.
Yang Bo was very surprised, "Great sir, we only took over an hour to go from the county to Cola, to go down to the village below, why does it take so long?"
"Because the Crimson Water Stronghold is off!" The gatekeeper's mandarin was not good, so he spoke with a tinge of sarcasm, "The road to the county has just been repaired. This road is shabby. You will find out after you walk on it."
Yang Bo understood the other party's words and nodded his head.
"What are you guys doing at Crimson Water Stronghold?" the gatekeeper asked.
Yang Bo waved his hand, "Let's go find a friend."
As they spoke, Yang Bo sat in the car, Luo Yaohua sat in the driver's seat, and turned to look at Yang Bo, "How long did he say it would take, I did not hear clearly."
"Two or three hours." Yang Bo said.
"Ah?" Two or three hours! " Luo Yaohua was immediately alarmed. He had always been driving from He Zhang to Cola, and at this time he was already a little tired.
Yang Bo immediately said: "I'll drive next, you rest."
With that, Yang Bo pulled Luo Yaohua out of the carriage and into the driver's seat.
The car drove towards the west, passing by an outdoor trading market. It was crowded and bustling with noise and excitement.
"Market? Shall we go down and take a look? " Luo Yaohua said.
Yang Bo grasped the steering wheel, but did not stop, "Forget it, let's hurry up and go."
Very quickly, the car reached the edge of the road, and the road became a rocky path. The road was bumpy and full of potholes, but Yang Bo didn't drive fast, causing the car to sway left and right.
Sitting in the car was like riding on a boat, causing one to be unable to sit still.
A few minutes later, Fat Liu could no longer take it. He clutched his chest and said to Yang Bo: "No, I'm sick. Stop and let me drive."
Yang Bo stepped on the brakes, and still did not feel anything, "Not bad, my driving is pretty stable."
"Steady, you are just too steady. You are driving too slow, so the car will be very bumpy. This way, it will be too difficult for the people riding on the car." Fat Liu said.
The two of them changed their positions, and the Fat Liu quickly started to operate them skillfully. Yang Bo had only gotten the driver's license for a short while, but he was still unable to sense how bad his driving was, and felt that his performance was good. He did not expect Lu Donghsing to directly say: "The old driver is still better, it feels much better than before."
Yang Bo instantly felt as if he had suffered several thousand points of damage, and this was simply a critical strike.
Luo Yaohua could not help but laugh out loud.
The distance between Crimson Water Stronghold and Cola was not too far from the map. Yang Bo had thought that the gatekeeper was exaggerating, but when he was actually walking on the road, he realized that the lord outside the door was actually making a conservative estimate.
The further they got from Cola Village, the harder it was for them to travel. When Yang Bo first drove, he drove at a speed of forty meters. Fat Liu felt that it was too slow and increased his speed to sixty meters.
The journey was difficult, and when they were halfway there, they had no choice but to stop and rest. After Yang Bo drove for a while, when the sun rose in the sky, everyone finally saw a mountain stronghold in the distance.
The village was situated halfway up the hill. The road was gentle, and the carriages made a zigzag path up the mountain. When they were halfway up the mountain, they were no longer able to move forward, so they had to abandon the carriages and climb up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, before they could even enter the village, the four of them were stopped by a middle-aged man dressed in linen robes. He glared at the four of them as he sternly berated them.
Because the other party spoke in the minority languages, Yang Bo and the other three could not understand.
Lu Donghsing stepped forward: "Hello, we are from the capital, and are looking for Zi Mu's family."
The middle aged man stared at them, and asked: What are you looking for Zi Mu's family for?
"We have brought news of Zi Mu." Lu Donghsing continued.
"Ah?" News about Zi Mu? " The middle-aged man immediately exclaimed, he took a step forward and grabbed Lu Donghsing's arm, "Did you guys meet Zi Mu in the capital? Why isn't he back yet? "
The actions of the middle-aged man caused everyone's expression to change. However, when they heard his words, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
"We want to find Zi Mu's family so that we can be able to inform his family of the news." Lu Donghsing said.
"I am Zi Mu's older brother, Shee Zhe!" The middle-aged man said.
immediately said: "Mr. Shee Zhe, the difference in age..."
The middle-aged man laughed, "I am only in my early thirties today, and Zi Mu is my third brother. He was very smart when he was young, but before he left, he called home to tell us not to worry, that he is going to make a fortune soon, and that we will wait for him, so that we can bring our families to live in the county city!"
Yang Bo curiously looked at Shee Zhe.
Lu Donghsing nodded, he raised his head and looked at Shee Zhe, "Mr. Shee Zhe, it's best if I tell this to you and your family."
Shee Zhe's expression changed, he turned and looked at Lu Donghsing, "Who are you people?"
"Mr. Shee Zhe, we are only here to send you a message." Lu Donghsing said.
Shee Zhe looked over, half believing and half doubting, but he still led them over to the stronghold.
Soon, they came to a building made of large stones.
