Chapter 611

I have to say, human beings often enter a blind spot in their thinking.

That is, for many things, there are clearly the simplest, most convenient, and least laborious methods, but they insist on choosing the most difficult, most strenuous, and most idiotic methods!

And the most tragic thing is that at the time, you didn't even realize it!

By the time you have gone through all kinds of hardships and obstacles, and want to reap the joy of success, you realize that you are truly a big idiot.

Just like Tang Seng going to fetch the scriptures, Sun Wukong's somersault is 108,000 miles, and the road to fetch the scriptures is also 108,000 miles! Clearly, it's something that could be done with two somersaults, but these four people and one horse must go through eighty-one tribulations to get the scriptures! When the eighty-one tribulations aren't enough, they have to force another one... it's just speechless! To be honest, or ask yourself, is this a ridiculous act?

Is this a bunch of idiots playing a joke on these four people and one horse?

Of course, regarding the matter of having to go through tribulations to fetch the scriptures, the main point is an educational significance.

As for what the educational significance is, it is that life is like rape; when you cannot resist, you must learn to submit.

Sun Wukong was so powerful, didn't he eventually leave the Daoist path to become a monk?

And the reason for saying this is because Sun Wukong's master, the Bodhi Patriarch, was a proper Daoist.

But Sun Wukong after fetching the scriptures, or more accurately, Sun Wukong who had been disciplined by the Buddha, turned to worship Tang Seng, the monk, as his master, and eventually became the "Victorious Fighting Buddha."

I have to say, Sun Wukong's transition from "Dao" to "Buddha" is actually a proper, major tragedy!

Of course, these were all things Wang An pondered while in the fence in his past life, and at this moment, Wang An was just feeling emotional while looking at the "back strap" on his shoulder and the "collar" on his chest.

There was no other way; since he had chosen to pull the carriage himself, he could only pull it directly into the courtyard.

By the time everyone left the guesthouse, it was almost noon.

The reason they left so late was that Er Ma Lei Zi had indeed dug out quite a lot of solid information from the mouth of the person he had captured.

And this information not only let Er Ma Lei Zi know everything he wanted to know, but also involved many big shots in YJ County and Heilongjiang Province.

Of course, these big shots were also very farsighted and did not become part of the big umbrella, but only became beneficiaries.

That is to say, they did not participate in anything related to the gold mine, but they received quite a few benefits, which also led them to choose to turn a blind eye to certain things.

Simply put, they didn't manage things, but they also hindered things!

To be honest, such people don't seem to have any flaws on the surface, but in reality, they are extremely annoying.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, the forces behind Wang Shuai and Wu Dong, plus the forces behind Er Ma Lei Zi, almost all exerted their strength.

Of course, now that things had reached this point, the strength of Wu Dong and Wang Shuai themselves was no longer on the table, which meant that there was no need for Wang Shuai and Wu Dong to stay in YJ County.

Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An, who was driving the carriage, said to everyone:

"Should we buy some food? Otherwise, we'll have to gnaw on dry pancakes all the way. Haven't you had enough of that?"

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Wang Shuai slapped his own forehead and said:

"Damn these days, thanks to Xiao An for reminding me, otherwise we'd have to suffer for the second half of the road."

After Wang Shuai finished speaking, Wu Dong also slapped his thigh and said with self-reproach: "Yeah, I even forgot about eating. What else can I do!" He Liang immediately added with a face full of fear:

"No more pancakes, absolutely no more pancakes. I won't eat these dry, dead-faced pancakes for the rest of my life."

As everyone was talking, they jumped off their horses and walked toward the supply and marketing cooperative, and Wang An, seeing this scene, took the initiative to stay behind to watch the horses and the carriage.

Of course, watching the horses and the carriage was secondary; the main thing was to watch the gold on the horses' backs and the carriage.

Mainly because YJ County was the same as DJ County; there were quite a few hooligans and loafers. If no one stayed to watch, it would definitely be easy for trouble to arise.

Although Mu Xueli and Wang Li were on the carriage, their combat power at this moment could be said to be unable to reach even zero, and they were still in a negative state.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, after everyone walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An pulled the Type 81 rifle out of the sack under the eyes of everyone and started to "observe" it.

To be honest, the Type 81 rifle at this time was still a new item that was just starting to be mass-produced.

However, this gun, like the Type 56 assault rifle, was an automatic rifle. The most important thing was that both had a proper, long magazine.

So it must be admitted that the deterrent power of this thing was truly quite fierce.

Because of Wang An's action, several people who wanted to approach the horses immediately dispelled their crooked thoughts and turned to look for the next target.

And Wang An, having once been one of their kind, was a proper insider. It could be said that who was a good person and who was a bad person could basically be seen at a glance.

It was just that Wang An really didn't want to cause any more trouble, thereby delaying the journey, so he didn't pay attention to these scumbags.

Soon, everyone bought their things and came out. I have to say, the obsessed people really didn't spend little in the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, most of the things bought were food, all kinds of food, all kinds of buying.

Mainly because the road home was still very long, and everyone was really tired of gnawing on dry pancakes for every meal.

Besides food, they also bought a bunch of lunch boxes, two for each person, and another large iron pot. Spoons, shovels, and other kitchen utensils naturally had to be prepared as well.

This time there was a carriage, and mainly because the road between the counties was better, it was no problem to buy more things.

When everyone left the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An thought for a moment, ran back into the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a pile of extra-large firecrackers and a bundle of valve wires.

The reason Wang An wanted to buy firecrackers was that Wang An remembered that on the way here, there were two places with badger dens.

It was just that when they came, they were busy going into the mountains, and digging out badger dens would be a bit of a loss. Although they were also in a hurry to go back, this thing was just a precaution.

If there's a chance, dig one; if not, forget it.

As for the valve wires, that must be to make slingshots. While on the road, if they happen to run into squirrels, they can shoot a few; if they don't, forget it. It's also a proper, good thing.

Before leaving YJ County, everyone bought a bunch of meat buns, directly buying all the meat buns at the bun stall, which truly made the bun stall owner very happy.

Just like that, after everything was ready, the group left YJ County and headed toward JY County.
