The tractor suddenly died halfway through the journey.
With a violent lurch forward, everyone nearly flew out.
Liu Baoguo snapped to attention.
"What happened?"
The tractor driver, Zhao Heizi, said with annoyance, "Village chief, we've run out of fuel and can't go any further. I had just used it to haul grain for the village during the day, and I had planned to refuel tomorrow—I didn't anticipate this... Now it's definitely not going to work, we can't move an inch."
"Why the hell didn't you refuel? Now look at the mess we're in—I..." Liu Baoguo wanted to hit someone, to curse someone out.
