On the north bend of Highway 8 between Beaufort and Ararat, with a 30-meter-angle median strip, a blue sedan roared past the Forester and made a sharp turn, blocking the road.
The car door opened and four people got out one by one. A white young man with a short haircut and a grey sleeveless shirt opened the trunk and took out a baseball bat and other things. A woman with a black mini leather skirt, a nose ring and smoky makeup leaned against the rear door and chewed gum. Another young man with ear-length hair was walking to take the bat handed over by the young man with a short haircut.
The bald young man who got out of the driver's seat went to the isolation belt to pick up a stone, and stood in the middle of the road with a fierce look on his face, intending to hit the Forester when it got close.
The Forester didn't get close. Wang An stepped on the brakes the moment the car overtook him. The other party might be afraid that they would hit them again if they didn't brake in time, so they parked very far forward. At this time, the distance between the two sides was still 50 meters, and the shouting and cursing could be heard from a distance.
"An An, stay here and don't go down, I..."
Gu Laosan was unbuckling the seat belt he had fastened later, and before he could finish his words, he saw Wang An had already opened the car door and walked out. On the other side, three young men with bats and stones were already running towards this side.
“Fuck!”
Gu Laosan hurriedly opened the car door and shouted, "An An, be careful!"
From a distance, the bald young man threw the stone in his hand towards Wang An.
Wang An didn't even look at the stone that was thrown off target. He rubbed his wrist and twisted his neck. At the moment the stone passed by him, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards the three people.
After throwing the stone, the bald young man turned around and took the bat thrown from behind him. However, he had only run a few steps when he was kicked in the face by the oncoming hiking shoes. He flew backwards, holding his nose. Then Wang An kicked a long-haired young man in the air. After landing, he grabbed the stunned young man with a crew cut and threw him over his shoulder onto the asphalt road.
“Wow~”
The three men who had looked fierce just now fell to the ground in an instant and couldn't even get up.
The pace of a certain salted fish slowed down and its mouth began to open wide.
In the car, Wang Ping held the wolf Xiao Si's neck and pressed the struggling wolf onto the seat. He covered the wolf's eyes with his black claws and said, "Little kid, don't watch this kind of violent scene. It's not good for your life as a wolf..."
Thanks to Australia's pitiful population base, there was not even a ghost on the road at this time. Originally, this was the arrogance of the young men, but now, they hoped that a car would pass by and rescue them from this embarrassing situation.
"Scold me? How dare you block my car? Do you want to hit me?"
At this moment, Wang An was like an arrogant little gangster, walking back and forth among the people rolling on the ground with a baseball bat in her hand, kicking anyone who dared to stand up.
"this… "
Gu Laosan was a little confused, not knowing whether he should go forward to "help" or go back to the car and pretend to be dead.
Just as he was struggling, the woman with smoky makeup who had stayed by the car to watch the fun ran over screaming, holding a knife in her hand. Gu Laosan was about to remind him, but he saw Wang An didn't even turn his head, but just swung the bat in his hand, and another one fell to the ground.
"I'd better get back to the car..."
Ten minutes later, a row of "pig heads" squatted on the side of the road, all holding their ears with their hands, shouting "Em, hungry white pigs" and watching the forest man go away. Only when he could no longer see his shadow did a series of shouting and cursing sound on the road.
Near noon, the forest man turned a mountain pass and arrived at a small town called Halls Gap. This is the tourist distribution center of the entire Grampians and the entrance to the park. As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is the RV camps on both sides of the road.
Although Australia is only three hours behind China, the seasons are exactly opposite. At this moment, most parts of China are still in the chilly spring season, but here it is late summer, the peak tourist season. People are coming and going in the RV camp, and some people are laughing and joking around by the bonfire, creating a lively scene.
Wang An slowed down the car but did not stop, continuing along the town. Gu Lang had already started a live broadcast, facing the lively scene outside. Although it was a small town with only one main road running through all the blocks, the number of hotels and tourists was more lively than the city center of Melbourne.
Hotels, restaurants, and outdoor gear stores of various architectural styles are located in the canyon surrounded by trees and mountains. Gu Lang even saw an art center building and a golf course logo.
The passenger window was open, and Wolf Si rested his chin on the window, sticking out his tongue and looking at the passers-by, his face full of excitement. On his head, there was a badger lying on his head, staring at all kinds of delicacies with lustful eyes.
Wang An drove the car into the RV camp on the west side of the road until he reached the intersection where several small roads forked. There are many campsites scattered inside Grampians Park, which are specially used for self-driving tourists to camp. However, the two of them came here to climb rocks, and they would spend most of their time hiking in the mountains, so they would not need a car much.
At this moment, the badger was proud of his foresight, bringing the wolf Xiao Si here, so that he didn't have to go for a walk with Gu Lao San. So as soon as he got off the car, he couldn't wait to sit on the neck of the wolf, holding its collar, like a knight ready to go.
If they followed the previous "habits" of Gu Lao San and a badger, the first day of arrival would be very dusty and they would need to find a hotel with a bathtub in the bathroom to wash away their fatigue, and then guide them to visit various delicious restaurants in the scenic area. The show would officially start on the second day.
Unfortunately, Wang An was the leader this time. He didn't even look at the watch. He just glanced up at the sky and announced that they would set off for the free camping site south of Lake Belfeld on the grounds that "it was still early".
The girl had done her homework before this. She knew by heart which campsites had fees and which ones were free. She wasn't sure if this was the best route, but it was definitely the cheapest one.
A certain badger who had no sense of existence since coming to Australia and Gu Xianyu looked at each other, both of them understood each other's unwillingness, but wisely neither of them expressed any objection. Especially when someone had just knocked down four people in front of them two hours ago.
After putting the outdoor equipment prepared in the Forester into two large backpacks, Wang An and Gu Laosan each carried one on their backs and left the parking lot. However, just after passing the intersection, Wang An took out his small purse and ran to the open window of a barbecue restaurant opposite.
Wang Ping's eyes welled up with tears. He had already been drooling over the row of skewers in the window. After all, she was his own sister. Even though he called her "ugly," he still felt sorry for her in his heart.
However, after 5 minutes, when Wang An came back with a handful of meat skewers and shared a few with the salted fish, he didn't even look at the badger and started eating by himself.
“Ouch!”
Wang Ping slapped Lang Xiaosi's head and shouted, his hairy face full of dissatisfaction.
"You two are really exaggerating. How can you humiliate someone in front of him like this... Badger?"
As Gu Laosan turned around, everyone in the live broadcast room looked at the badger angrily slapping Wolf Xiaosi's head, as if he was slapping a table, and they all felt sorry for the wolf.
"In the blink of an eye, Xiao Si has grown up so much"
"Time makes the badger grow old"
"The boss is still the boss. His temper can be changed, but his nature as a foodie cannot be changed."
"Poor Xiao Si, not only does he have to be a mount, he also has to be a table"
"All animals that follow the boss cannot escape the fate of being ridden"
Wang An saw a salted fish trying to share his meat skewers with others, so he quickly stopped him and frowned, saying, "There are seasonings in this. Don't you know that you can't give it to pets?"
"It's okay, Boss, it's okay after eating it!"
Gu Laosan first handed the skewer of meat to the little black claw that had been raised high, and then turned around and explained to Wang An in a low voice.
Behind the two of them, smelling the aroma of the skewers, Wolf Xiao Si raised his head restlessly, whimpering and sticking out his tongue to lick it, but was pushed away by a badger holding his head.
"Go away! There are seasonings in this, pets can't eat it!"
