Chapter 481: There was originally no road in the world

Wang An looked at this place, and countless "fuck your mother" curses instantly rang out in his heart, but after a moment of thought, he felt relieved.

Because this place is the only way for everyone in the entire Xing'an Commune—no, it's called Xing'an Township now—to get to the county seat.

Of course, a road is just a road, because Mr. Lu Xun once said: "There was originally no road in the world; as more people walk, it becomes a road."

Therefore, if one were to travel through the woods, one could avoid this bend.

It's just that the terrain and landscape on both sides of this bend are truly shitty; not only are the bushes very dense, but the ground is also extremely uneven.

With endless big pits and small mounds, it's a struggle for a person to walk, and if one were driving a horse cart or a sled, that would be pure nonsense—it's simply not realistic.

Actually, this is also the reason why incidents always happen here. Among the timing, geographical advantages, and human factors, let's not talk about timing because it's relatively mystical, but in terms of geographical advantage, this place is simply invincible.

Whether it's hiding people for an ambush or escaping afterward, this place is the perfect location for murder and robbery.

And Wang An suddenly made an important decision.

That is, when there is an opportunity—to be precise, when Wang An buys a crawler tractor—Wang An must change the road, which means abandoning the road at this bend.

Wang An had long observed the road before and after this bend; in fact, this bend is completely redundant.

It's just that it's impossible to walk on either side of the road, it's that simple! However, if one wants to build a road, it would require the government to organize a large amount of manpower and material resources, but even so, the cost is truly a bit too high.

If one were to rely solely on individuals, it would be like "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains," completely hopeless.

However, buying a crawler is likely difficult in the short term. Wang An looked at this familiar territory but discovered that Da Hei did not stop here; instead, it took a turn and headed back into the mountains.

This means that these two people did not return to the county seat.

Zhang Shuya also discovered this situation, so she frowned and asked Wang An:

"Xiao An, I'm not familiar with these mountains. Do you see where this direction leads?"

Hearing the question, Wang An subconsciously outlined a map in his head.

But Wang An discovered that the direction these two people were heading was actually toward LQ County.

What is this situation? Could it be that these two people are returning to their own base camp?

Thinking this in his head, Wang An said with a face full of question marks:

"These two people seem to be taking a shortcut to LQ County."

Zhang Shuya subconsciously said: "Could it be that they discovered those four guys are gone and are going back to bring reinforcements?"

It must be said that what Zhang Shuya said is still very possible; if you can't beat them, you run, and if that doesn't work, you find people—this is almost something everyone would do.

Zhang Shuya's words, however, made Wang An feel increasingly anxious, because many things are like this: as long as they cannot be resolved as soon as possible, they will turn from small matters into big ones.

Furthermore, the number of people involved will continue to increase, and the whole matter will roll bigger and bigger like a snowball, eventually leading to the entire situation becoming extremely difficult to handle.

Wang An deeply understood this principle, so after hearing Zhang Shuya's words, Wang An truly felt a sense of burning anxiety.

Thinking of this, Wang An said to Zhang Shuya: "Big Sister, if the two of them go to LQ County to find people, we must pin them down in advance; otherwise, the more people gather, the more troublesome the matter will become."

Zhang Shuya rolled her eyes at Wang An and said very indifferently:

"Did you forget what I do? If it really doesn't work, let Wu Dong lead a team to support us. We are a group of regular troops; are we afraid of their group of small-time punks? How interesting."

Upon hearing this, Wang An felt relieved in his heart, but he said somewhat "shyly": "Just because of this little matter of mine, making such a big fuss, isn't it a bit bad?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shuya looked deeply at Wang An and exposed him without hesitation:

"Why are you so hypocritical? Your big mouth is about to split to your ears. Who can't tell what you're thinking in your heart? You say, why are you living more and more backward? You're not even as good as a decent old woman."

After Zhang Shuya finished speaking, she turned her head away and ignored Wang An.

As for Zhang Shuya's words, Wang An directly chose selective deafness, laughing "hee hee" and "hehe" for a while.

It must be said that having a big sister like Zhang Shuya feels truly good; no matter what one does, one will feel very confident in one's heart.

And after Zhang Shuya heard Wang An's laughter, from an angle Wang An couldn't see, a smile also hung on her face.

Although the two were talking, their speed was not slow at all. When they caught up to a section of the woods that was relatively sparse, the two galloped their horses, charging forward fiercely.

Just like this, at around 1:00 PM, the two finally caught up to those two people.

Actually, they shouldn't have been able to catch up, but it just so happened that those two people were eating and resting.

It had to be said that they couldn't go on without resting; they had run all morning, and although the speed wasn't very fast, both the people and the horses couldn't take it anymore. If they kept running, the horses of these two people would be run to death directly.

One must know that even Wang An's two horses were snorting continuously at this time.

However, it could also be seen that the frequency of the stallion snorting was clearly lower than that of the big blue horse.

Seeing the two people eating from afar, Wang An and Zhang Shuya both raised their guns.

It must be said that in a situation where both sides have guns, whoever raises their gun first truly occupies the dominant position.

These two people probably didn't expect anyone to catch up, so they were somewhat engrossed in eating.

When the two saw Wang An and Zhang Shuya, Wang An and his companion had already walked to within ten meters of them.

One of them was smarter; he put down the food in his hand and directly raised both hands.

While the other person might have had a brain cramp, he actually reached toward his lower back, wanting to draw his gun. However, just as he was about to make a move, Wang An and Zhang Shuya directly pulled the triggers.

Only hearing a "bang" of a gunshot, this person who wanted to draw his gun lay straight there.

It must be said that Wang An and Zhang Shuya not only fired at the same time, but they also aimed at the same place.

Because these two shots both hit the person's forehead.

Because everyone was wearing cotton hats, no blood or brains splattered out at all.

But the smarter person next to him was so scared that he shivered instantly, and his entire face became filled with terror!

After Wang An and Zhang Shuya finished firing, they continued to approach these two people.

The surviving smart person said tremblingly:

"Two... two good men..."

Before this person could finish speaking, Zhang Shuya roared:

"Are you blind? Can't you even tell the difference between a man and a woman?"
