Chapter 32 Leaving the Fire and Raining
Before Li Huo could scream, he heard a loud voice in front of him.
The scene was like an island in the depths, and the lonely people saw the tsunami coming.
Li Huo, who was still squatting on the ground with the cat in his arms, could not avoid it, and the dirty water on the side of the road that was rolled up by the wheels splashed all over his body.
...... Letting go of the stray cat in his arms, Li Huo once again chose to stand up instead of falling.
He looked at the red high-end sports car that was speeding away.
In this rainstorm, I listened to the abuse coming from the car.
"I'm trying to kill myself and find a place where no one is! Fuck!
The rich man in the sports car thought that Li Huo was here to touch porcelain, or to find a rich man to die in a collision so that he could leave money for his family.
In fact...... It's no wonder that he is, after all, Li Huo suddenly ran to the side of the road, looking aggressive and very embarrassed.
Not to mention rich people, a normal driver may think so.
Li Huo also knew.
Li Huo also understood.
He realized that he was very close to death for a moment.
If your head sticks out of one more position, you will never have to wake up, you will never have to be so tired............
If you slip under your feet............ I don't have to endure this uncomfortable feeling anymore............
If you had more courage..................
However, at this moment, Li Huo, who was still standing in the rain, thought so.
He thought............
If you hit a hole in this sports car, you will lose your life, and I am afraid you can't afford to pay for it.
The red high-end sports car has disappeared from view.
Li Huo, who was standing in the rain, was still reminiscing about the hallucination he had just had when he was close to death.
That's when ..................
A yellow taxi suddenly stopped beside him.
It seems that some drivers think that he must be taking a taxi when he is standing on the side of the road, so he doesn't care that he is wet in the rain and wants to give him a ride.
But actually............ It was because the driver saw the scene where Li Huo wanted to save the cat.
The windows of the car were gradually pulled down, and although he couldn't see his face clearly because of the darkness in the car, Li Huo still saw the kind driver waving to him and motioning for him to get into the car.
The narrow space of the taxi seemed a little small for Li Huo, who was one meter eight tall, he followed the driver's kindness, bent down, and a fierce man plunged into the taxi, and closed the door with a bang.
He moved his buttocks, put away the black briefcase he was carrying, and sat down.
"Please go to the Summit Inn. β
Click, click.
The driver in sunglasses skillfully taps the button on the meter to reset the distance to zero.
Another button detained the sign of the empty car, symbolizing that he would no longer carry passengers.
The smell inside the car smelled like mold, damp and stuffy in the rain.
At this moment, Li Huo discovered something that interested him a little..................
He looked at the roadside lights and saw the driver's information standing next to the meter and the empty license plate.
Gollum, he swallowed.
In the one-inch bareheaded photo, the driver looks like a woman with a lot of temperament. It's not good-looking, but it's ordinary, and it's the type that gets better and better after looking at it for a long time, and it doesn't look ugly at first glance.
According to what was written on the sign.
Her name is ββββ
Feng Yu.
Wooββββ
ββ
At the same time, Feng Yu, the female driver who was ready for everything, also stepped on the accelerator and drove the taxi forward............
Li Huogang closed his eyes slightly, wanting to rest for a while.
But I felt that the center of gravity of my whole body leaned forward.
Before the car could drive three meters, he heard the rustling of the brake straps rubbing against them in the rainββββ
"Your uncle's day! You don't have eyes when you give birth to a child!"
It turned out that Feng Yu had just started, and was stopped by a van that suddenly turned out at the intersection in front of her, which frightened her and quickly braked.
Anger to anger, scolding to scolding.
When the van drove forward, Feng Yu stepped on the accelerator again and continued to drive.
Outside the car window, the rain was sliding down drop by drop, staining the water droplets around him and turning into a straight line, distorting the light and scenery.
Li Huo didn't pay attention to the colorful refraction of the rain, but focused on what was going on inside the car.
He could hear it, the few words that Feng Yu blurted out just now, this was his hometown swearing.
He plucked up courage...... Dragging the exhausted body and mind, I want to chat with strangers in the same country.
"Old girl, how long have you been renting a taxi?"
The hand on the steering wheel was still steady, Feng Yu raised his head and glanced in the rearview mirror, and replied in a swaying manner: "Maybe it's almost ten years, you are also a countryman?"
Li Huo replied quickly, he knew that the other party was willing to talk, and if he didn't answer immediately, maybe the other party wouldn't be willing.
"Well, I see that what you just scolded has a hometown flavor, I didn't expect you to rent it out for so long, Mandarin is so good. β
When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears.
"Well, hometown, hometown is good, I can't forget itββββ"
"I not only remember this hometown, but also the sky without high-rise buildings, the endless blue, the smog without car exhaust, and the fragrance of the earth when the rain is clear and clear............ The birds in the sky spread their wings and ββββ from time to time"
Buzzββββββββββ huge car horn sounded again.
"Fuck! X-raised turtle son son bastard!"
Before Feng Yu could finish recalling her hometown, she was startled by the speeding ghost probe vehicle again.
I really don't know how those guys who can't even read traffic lights get their driver's licenses..................
"Alas.................."
Feng Yu pushed her sunglasses and stabilized her mind, it seemed that she was scared a lot this time, and she was obviously a little tired.
The yellow car continued to drive forward, and Li Huo sat in the back seat, not knowing what to say.
can only wait quietly for Feng Yu to continue to speak.
"Not to mention ten years, this taxi abandoned by the gods, I have been driving for thirty hours now. β
"It's been too long. β
"It's just too long, and these thirty hours are more than ten years, and those ten years are pieced together by one such thirty hours. β
"It's been too long.................."
Li Huo could hear the exhaustion in her mouth, which was the sadness and fatigue that a countryman had to taste in order to make a living.
Who wouldn't?
...... is also a fallen person at the end of the world.
"I know how long that was. β
"Today, I spent all day waiting for someone who wouldn't come to see me at all. β
"My parents hated me and they abandoned me. β
"I've been in Kyushu for more than a month, and I've had no achievements, so I can only keep eating my old book, and I'm a salesman............"
"But nothing was sold. β
Li Huo shook his hand, and then looked sideways at his black briefcase in disappointment.
He hoped that his painful experience would make Feng Yu feel happier.
After all, apart from that, he doesn't have any capital to use for small talk............
Tick, tick, the rain on the pale blue suit was still dripping, hitting the rubber of the non-slip mats, mixing with the mud.
β............ What do you sell?"
Feng Yu took over Li Huo's words and was very interested in his profession.
Li Huo took a deep breath and quickly spit it out.
At this moment, his face is full of sadness, and he is not an ideal salesman at all.
Shaking his head, Li Huo said helplessly: "Worthless bargains, gadgets, travel accessories, daily necessities, ......"
"Cockroach medicine, waterproof crisper box, cleaning spray, makeup remover towel, sulfur soap, massager, socks that have a relieving effect on blood circulation......"
The more he spoke, the tighter his brow became, as if he was disgusted with the products he was selling.
In front of his fellow countrymen, he no longer has to be abducted.
"It's all bad bargains, stupid, cheap, ugly garbage. β
After saying that, he felt very relieved that he didn't have to boast about these things with others.
He hadn't spoken the truth for a long time, and he actually laughed.
Flutter.
"It's all rubbish. β
Flutter, Li Huo laughed, and Feng Yu also laughed.
Although I couldn't see her eyes, I saw her brow slightly raised, as if she looked incredulous.
"What? You sell garbage?"
Li Huo was also amused by this girl, he finally put on a sincere natural smile, and smiled at Feng Yu: "Yes, I am a garbage seller." β
"And then people don't want to buy it?"
Facing Feng Yu's ridicule, Li Huo shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, they don't buy ......"
"Hahaha, that's weird. β
Why are people reluctant to buy garbage?
Feng Yu still drove the taxi safely, glancing out the window, and could see the shop windows with exhibition containers through the cracks in the windshield wipers.
"It's weird, look at the shops here, they sell nothing more than this kind of thingββββ"
"Garbage. β
After speaking, he glanced at the red light in front of him, and quickly said to Li Huo: "Let's take Ninth Avenue and go to Uptown from there." β
Li Huo felt a little lighter, didn't answer any more, and looked out the window, the foggy neon lights flickering...... Litter.
............ Time passed for a while, and then Li Huo realized that Feng Yu chose to take Ninth Avenue for a reason.
In front of you, there are endless red taillights, car horns sounding one after another, and pedestrians holding umbrellas as they move through the pile of traffic.
That's right, that's what happens every day in the city.
At six o'clock in the evening, the good show that will definitely be staged -
γTraffic jam during peak hours during off-duty hoursγ
The rows of red taillights shook so that people couldn't open their eyes, and Li Huo sat quietly in the back seat of the taxi just like he did at work today, quietly and politely waiting for the traffic to move.
At least, unlike my job, as long as I am willing to wait, the traffic will continue to move forward.
Those people, like themselves, must move forward even if they don't want to.
They, too, are going home.
