Chapter Ninety-Six: Master Peng's Story
Today I was going to spend the night in the county seat, and there was no car to the countryside at this time, and it would only be there until noon the next day.
However, it is not troublesome to spend the night in the county, the younger brother and sister lived here for a semester, the house is often cleaned, it is very convenient, but there are a little more people, it is more crowded, five people have three houses, basically two people live in one, Chen Shi and his younger brother Chen Dong live in one, my sister lives in the original Chen Dong's house, Li Yalian and my sister Chen Ying live in one.
After a night without saying anything, after a day's journey, Chen Shi and the others were already tired, so they went to bed early, nourished their spirits, and tomorrow was another journey.
Early the next morning, they ate breakfast first, and then went to their own supermarket to buy a lot of daily necessities, gifts for parents, large bags and small bags, each of which has several bags in your hands, so many things plus so many people, walking on the road will attract the attention of others, Chen Shi proposed to charter a car back.
Five people, charter a van, can also pull things, just right.
Only his sister objected to his proposal, but one person was no match for four people, so in the case of a large number of people, Chen Shi immediately inquired about the situation of the chartered car. Although he has lived in the county seat for a while, he is not so familiar with it, and he has only met a few friends.
Tao Zi is not there, but the fat man doesn't care about such a trivial matter, maybe even he can't solve it himself, he can only call Ah Hui.
After Ah Hui received the call, he came over quickly, Chen Shi said the situation of the chartered car, Ah Hui didn't say a word, took them to the station, according to him, there are chartered services near the station, but they are all private in nature, ordinary people don't know, and the general chartered car has to find familiar, because of safety issues.
The master that Ah Hui introduced to them looks like an honest man, but don't look at him as honest and honest, his driving skills are first-class, even a young man with a flexible head like Ah Hui has to respectfully call him a master, which shows his qualifications.
The master's surname is Peng, and everyone calls him Master Peng, when he heard it, he smiled, and his kind face gave people a simple and down-to-earth feeling. No matter what kind of person you are, you won't feel threatened when you meet someone like Master Peng, and when you understand his skills, you will definitely feel a sense of security.
When Master Peng drove the van out of his small yard, everyone was overwhelmed by his amazing driving skills. There was a staircase in the small courtyard of his house, and on either side of the stairs were sloping stone slabs, and the four wheels of the van were just enough to press the stone slabs up and down.
And Master Peng drove the car out of the car when it was reversed, and he reversed very fast, almost no need to look back, only look at the mirror, his head did not stick out of the window to take a look, the speed of reversing was still very fast, and the normal drive forward was the same appearance, such a technology Chen Shi still saw it for the first time, of course, the kind of car skills shown off in the TV are not counted, this is in reality, what really happened in front of his eyes.
So far, everyone in the group is full of praise for Master Peng's driving skills. After hearing this, Master Peng didn't seem to be surprised, just smiled faintly, and said modestly: "It's not worth mentioning, this is just the kung fu of the three-legged cat." ”
Chen Shi and others are embarrassed, and Master Peng's three-legged cat kung fu can beat most of the people in the world.
After this little episode, Chen Shi took his younger siblings, sister and Li Yalian, a total of five people, and set off vigorously. When I just left the county, the vehicle drove very comfortably, on the asphalt road, Master Peng could drive safely and quickly with his eyes closed, but when he left the county seat for about ten miles, he entered the real countryside, the road was full of potholes, even if it was flat, it was all stones, sitting in the car, his ears were all the sound of the wheels pressing on the stones, although Master Peng's driving skills were good, but he had no way to do it on this kind of road, the car should be bumpy or bumpy, although it would not throw people out, but it was absolutely uncomfortable。
This is still a skilled master to drive the car, if the average person drives, do not go slower, timid people will never dare to sit, for fear of an accident, sitting on the shuttle bus is even more uncomfortable, there are many people in it, not to mention, the main thing is that the shuttle bus is higher than the van, the arc of the bumps is much larger than this, sometimes a small pit can make you feel that the car is falling.
While driving the car, Master Peng looked at their appearance and said with a smile: "Your luck is good, if you push forward for ten years, don't talk about the van, even the carriage can't go, at most it is only enough for a few people, and in some places even people have to be careful, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the valley." "There are mostly winding roads here, and some places are built on the edge of cliffs, even if you stand on the side and look down, it makes people dizzy, not to mention driving cars.
Chen Shi asked Master Peng: "Master Peng, how many years have you been driving? The technique is so good? If I don't have the courage to run away, look at how dangerous this road is? There is a cliff under my feet, and if I fall down accidentally, when will I be able to build a regular road?" ”
Master Peng smiled and said, "Soon, I heard that the county is already planning, and it will be repaired in a few years." When I drove ten years ago, there was no traffic here, and those who went to the countryside could only walk, and those in better conditions could rent a carriage, but in these years, horse-drawn carriages have been phased out, and if you look at the road, you can't see a single one for half a day. ”
The improvement of means of transportation has indeed made the horse-drawn carriage gradually eliminated, which is the choice of the times, but now in some remote places in the countryside, the horse-drawn carriage is still the main force of transportation, and in those places, even the figure of the tractor is rarely seen, people go up and down the mountain, and the heavy goods are all transported by the horse-drawn carriage. In comparison, Chen Shi's family is quite good, because his house is next to the dirt road, at least it can be opened to traffic, although he can't see a few cars a day, but having the conditions to open to traffic and not being able to open to traffic are two different things after all.
Chen Shi said: "When the road is repaired, Master Peng can specialize in sports cars, run one trip a day, and ensure that he can pull a lot of customers, and he will definitely make money and build a small transportation company." ”
Master Peng laughed and said that when he was old, he no longer had such ambitions, and he had to live by guarding this van, and the old bones could not withstand the toss. Chen Shi laughed at him and shouted old when he was in the prime of life, while Master Peng said that he was already forty years old, and all the children in the family had married daughters-in-law, not an old man?
Driving is indeed a risky profession, especially in such places where the roads are like a sheep's intestine and rugged, although the vehicles in these places are good, but there are many car accidents that I have heard of. For example, in a certain place, there was a car accident in a certain year and a certain month, and everyone who drives these things remember very clearly, because when they drive to this section of the road, they often inadvertently remember that someone had a car accident for some reason, so they are more cautious when driving.
It is rare for vehicles to have the same accident in one place on one road section and one place, and each one will be cautious later. Along the way, Master Peng also told them a lot of car accidents, these car accidents have only one protagonist and one car, and the cause of each accident is mostly because of the lack of understanding of the road surface, such as landslides, such as curves and ramps, like the accident of two cars colliding in the city has never been heard of.
Although the road was bumpy, there was a wonderful story of Master Peng, and he was an amiable person, and they had a smooth journey. Master Peng has good driving skills, but he never deliberately showed off, when he reversed from the small yard, it was to gain the recognition of others before showing his hand, and when he really went on the road, he was very conservative, seemingly timid, but in fact, he paid attention to safety, and his attitude was just in line with Chen Shi's meaning.
Chen Shi is not a drag racer, he has no illusions of speed and passion, the only thing he worries about in the car is safety, and he has never thought of driving in order to rush and drive without regard for safety. Judging from Master Peng's personality and his driving skills, he should not have been in any car accidents.
Chen Shi was a little curious about this and asked, "Master Peng, have you ever been in an accident while driving?"
Master Peng smiled and said proudly: "I have driven a car for 20 years and have never been in an accident, but there have been a few unforgettable experiences of almost accidents. ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately asked Master Peng to say, and Master Peng said that he almost had an accident when he was young while driving at night. Driving at night is very particular, especially in the countryside, there are no lights on the road, it is dark, it all depends on the lights, if one is not careful, there will be an accident immediately, and people do not dare to cross the unfamiliar road. Master Peng once drove to the countryside at night, along the way he was cautious, the first half of the basic no problem, to the second half of the road when there was a sharp turn, he suddenly saw a motionless thing on the bend, at first thought it was a dog crawling, he honked hard, but the thing on the road was still as motionless as before, which made him a little scared, he knew that the average dog as long as he saw the lights will hide, don't say to wait for the horn, if the horn sounds, the dog is not moving, then it must be a dead dog。
At first, Master Peng thought the same, but when he got out of the car and walked in, he found that this was definitely not a dog, it was like a handful of baskets, he suddenly wondered in his heart, and suddenly thought of a lot of ghost stories, and his heart was scared for a while, and he could barely move his steps, and wanted to go forward to find out, but he didn't have the guts, and he wanted to leave and was afraid of being retaliated.
Chen Shi and the others were surprised to hear it, and hurriedly asked, "What is that? What happened to you later?"
Master Peng smiled: "It's ridiculous to think about it so far, I was so timid at the time, it was just a sack, it was blown by a breeze on the ground, the wind speed was just enough to make it move, but it couldn't blow it open, so the distance was a little farther, and it was night, so it looked weird, it could scare people to death, and then the wind was big, and I realized that the sack was lifted up, and it was really scared to death at that time." ”
