Chapter 1175: It’s better to drive than to fly
With the help of Wang Jinpeng, the tomb robbing equipment was successfully purchased.
They were flying to Gansu the next day, leaving them a day to prepare at home.
Lin Ran went home to pack his luggage and said goodbye to his parents.
His parents seemed to have gotten used to it and just told him to pay attention to safety outside.
Lin Ran drove to find Wu Qingniu.
"Mr. Lin!" Wu Qingniu showed Lin Ran his latest clothes. Tomorrow he would go to work in charge of the Palace Museum.
But seeing his serious expression, he also stopped smiling.
"what happened?"
"Master Wu, I'm going out of town tomorrow. I probably won't be back for a long time. During this time, you have to work hard in the library."
Everyone else knew Lin Ran's habits and understood that he often went to other places.
But after all, Wu Qingniu had just been called from Hong Kong City, so he still had to say hello to him first.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I will naturally do a good job as I promised you."
"Okay, Master Wu. If you have any questions, just go to Yang Jianlong." Lin Ran explained.
Wu Qingniu nodded.
Later, Lin Ran went home and found Wang Jinpeng and A Ming waiting for him at home.
They were too embarrassed to go to Lin Ran's house, so they stood at the door and waited without moving, which aroused Baimao's suspicion.
Baimao pulled them into the team for questioning. Seeing that a bloody conflict was about to occur, Lin Ran appeared in time.
"Mr. Lin, they have been standing in front of your house for four hours." Baimao complained first.
His job was to keep an eye on the safety of Lin Ran's home. The other party stood here without moving for four hours, obviously with ulterior motives.
"Don't worry, these two are my friends." Lin Ran quickly explained.
Wang Jinpeng muttered: "You guy, if it weren't for the sake of helping Brother Lin, I would have to beat you up."
In the capital, Baimao really wanted to slap Wang Jinpeng twice for daring to talk to him in this tone.
But he also knew that Wang Jinpeng was not bragging.
It took six burly men from their engineering team to hold this guy as strong as a bison just now. If he really gets stubborn, no one standing here can stop him.
It also shows that Wang Jinpeng is indeed not looking for trouble.
Regarding Baimao, Lin Ran didn't explain that much. He just said there was a misunderstanding and took Wang Jipeng and A Ming away.
"Why did you come to my house?" Lin Ran asked.
"It's A Ming who wants to find you." Wang Jinpeng waved his hand and looked at A Ming with disgust.
"Brother Lin, I looked at the map and talked to others about it. If we want to go to Gansu, it will take two hours by plane, and then transfer to a small town. It will be troublesome to get there. You have to borrow the car through someone else.”
Amin paused and then said: "So I have an idea, how about we drive there directly?"
According to Amin's calculations, it would take 24 hours to drive there.
Tomorrow's flight will leave at 12 noon, and it will be around this time when we actually arrive in the town.
The main thing is that they don't just go looking for people.
It was very difficult to find a car when going to the tomb several times before, so Amin suggested driving there directly.
"You can consider it." Lin Ran felt that he was right. It was very troublesome not having a car in other places now.
I can drive a truck with my driver's license, and I should be able to catch up with A Minglun's driver.
"Can you just say it's okay?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
"Okay, but what about the car?" Lin Ran asked, "I have to see the car first before making a decision."
"Didi"
At this time, the sound of honking the horn came from behind Lin Ran.
Xu Ning's head popped out of the car, and he was already urging.
"Do you have a driver's license?" Lin Ran asked when he saw Xu Ning sitting in the driver's seat.
"Yeah." Xu Ning nodded.
Now that everything was ready, Lin Ran didn't refuse, drove the car into the yard, got in the car with the suitcase.
Bai Mao looked at the back of the car in the distance, wrote down the license plate number, and informed Yang Jianlong.
In fact, there were only five of them on this trip.
Liu Jingfeng and Huang Hao had already checked out the spots in advance.
Master Jumbo quits the team.
Xu Yi was unable to participate in this archaeological operation because of physical discomfort.
The only ones they needed to pick up were Lao Hei and Hong Wu.
The place where they met was the intersection of Badaling National Highway.
Due to the sudden incident, Lao Hei actually didn't have time to prepare, so he pulled Hong Wu to the intersection.
Hong Wu muttered: "Boss, shouldn't we set off tomorrow?"
Hongwu didn't have a phone at home, so Amin's temporary resolution couldn't be conveyed to him over the phone.
Fortunately, Lao Hei's family lived not far from him, so he went directly to his house and pulled the person out.
"Let's take a car instead." Lao Hei replied.
"By car? There are many flights. Hurry!" Hong Wu frowned.
"Let's not ask any more questions about Brother Lin's decision. Just trust him." Lao Hei said.
"That's true." Hong Wu nodded. Lin Ran always had his own opinions on things.
In fact, Lin Ran was really innocent this time. He met A Ming at home and made the impromptu suggestion.
But he thinks Amin's idea is right and can save the team time. In remote mountain villages, it is too difficult to find a truck.
I saw two people on the roadside.
Amin rolled down the window and waved to them.
I saw Lao Hei and Hong Wu each carrying a suitcase, which contained the tools they usually used to rob graves.
"Are you okay?" This was the first thing Wang Jinpeng said after seeing Lao Hei.
Lao Hei smiled: "Go to the grave and see the real chapter."
"Don't be scared to death like last time." Wang Jinpeng made a mean expression.
Lao Hei stopped replying, but opened the trunk, threw the luggage in, and climbed into the car.
Xu Ning also got out of the car and sat on the passenger seat.
After all, Xu Ning didn't have enough experience to open a national highway.
Several people were sitting in the back compartment, staring at each other.
In fact, this kind of mixing of people and goods is not allowed on the road.
But in this day and age, very few people are caught.
Moreover, in mountain villages in remote areas, bandits often appear to carry out roadblocks and robberies.
Truck drivers usually hire a few people to sit in the back of the truck.
Their job is to come out and calm down the situation when they are robbed. Generally, robbers will calm down when they see someone on the other side.
At that time, as long as you pay some small money, you will be released.
Sitting in the back car, Hong Wu asked: "We are going from Beijing to Gansu. Is it more convenient to drive there by ourselves?"
Sitting in the carriage is indeed a bit unrestrained.
"I feel aggrieved first. It's not the time to feel uncomfortable yet," said A Ming, who was driving in the front seat.
Only when they reached the mountain road did they realize how uncomfortable it was to ride in the car.
Hong Wu still wanted to complain, but Lao Hei interrupted him.When you get carsick, you will only get sicker and sicker the more you think about it.
At this time it is better to distract yourself.
Lao Hei asked Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, what kind of grave are you going to lay down this time?"
After two cooperations, Lao Hei realized Lin Ran's professionalism and no longer questioned him.
Now I want to know if he has made any arrangements.
Don't spend a lot of time looking for the tomb when the time comes.
