Chapter 361: The Dream of the Iron Rider
The sky in the west still has the last afterglow, but the city of Z has ushered in its most gorgeous moment of the day, the swaying landscape lights and the neon lights of changing colors, decorating this gray reinforced concrete forest in the daytime into a starry dream city, the lights of countless motorized vehicles converge into a river of light on the highway, surging and rushing to the four directions.
The Chrysler Wrangler galloped on the Third Ring Road, and the street lights on both sides of the viaduct streaked orange lights and shadows on the body. Xiao Nan leaned on the co-pilot's seat, turned his head to look at the brightly lit night view of the city outside the window, and was silent.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The team created by Xiao Nan has a very loud name, "Iron Riding Dream".
Not only that, but he also designed the team logo and flag for the team together with Huzi, and each member who joined the team will get a reflective sticker with the team logo, and they will put this team logo on the fuel tank or side cover of their car to show that they are different from those motorcycle riders who have not organized the team, and they are proud of it - because the "Iron Riding Dream" is a team that created the "Legend of Baoquan Mountain Corner" They may not have the largest number of people, and the riders may not have very good bikes, but they are recognized as the strongest team in the circle, and the opponents who challenge each other, whether it is two-wheeled or four-wheeled, lose convincingly every time.
At that time, Cheng Xiaonan's prestige in the team was unmatched, and even Huzi, another team founder, could not be compared to him. The team's organizational structure, rules and regulations, and activity style are all formulated by him, and every time he drives a long group, his blue Suzuki Hayabusa will run at the front of the team with double flashing lights to lead the way, followed by a long staggered array of locomotives.
Cheng Xiaonan is a benchmark, only by trying with him can you know the level of your level; Cheng Xiaonan is the spiritual leader of the "Iron Riding Dream", his driving style has influenced every rider who joined later, and finally formed the team style of "Iron Riding Dream"; Cheng Xiaonan is also the strongest modification technician outside Peng Peng, and every member of the team who wants to modify the car has asked him for advice...... In short, Cheng Xiaonan is the spiritual totem of this group of knights, and he takes one newcomer after another into a world of speed and excitement that they have never reached......
However, because of that "unregrettable decision", because of the "ceremony" that was broken halfway, and because of "transformation", Xiao Nan had to quit the "Iron Riding Dream".
Xiao Nan just began to "transform" the days, perhaps the most difficult days of his life, desperate he transferred the team's Qiuqiu group and the forum administrator's password to Huzi, leaving the team created by him and paid countless efforts for it, since then "the world has evaporated".
After experiencing the "transformation", although Xiao Nan picked up a life, she no longer plans to return to the collective of the team, because she knows that the secret of her "transformation" must not be made public, because the consequences are simply uncontrollable;
So, leaving was pretty much her only option. In particular, the team gradually grew stronger under the leadership of the successor Huzi, and the number of new members has far exceeded those "old" people at the beginning, and today's "Iron Riding Dream" is officially affiliated with the legal social association under the name of the Municipal Sports Commission, with more than 50 members, and has its own fixed place of activity, and it is no longer the era of more than a dozen people and nine foreign motorcycles. How many times did Xiao Nan encounter a large-displacement locomotive with the "Iron Riding Dream" logo on the street, and in the face of the unfamiliar faces of the riders, Xiao Nan knew that the era he had led was already "in the past tense".
Xiao Nan once thought that he could walk very chicly, "wave his sleeves and not take away a cloud". However, the truth is that after leaving the convoy of brothers and friends, her life has since turned into a gray ...... She can only find ways to keep herself busy, so that she has no time to recall the good times that she can't come back, and the various troubles she experienced after the "transformation" also happened to help her gradually get rid of the concern for the "Iron Riding Dream" from another angle.
How many times when changing clothes, in the face of the delicate young girl in the mirror, Xiao Nan will have a feeling of sudden dream, as if everything "before the transformation" is just a dream, "Iron Riding Dream" is part of this dream, although it is wonderful and unforgettable, but it is destined to drift away in her life after "transformation".
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The sudden bump woke Xiao Nan from a light sleep, and she opened her hazy eyes to see that Huzi was driving the Wrangler onto the sidewalk, and the bump just now was the impact of the front wheel when it crossed the road tooth.
"Squeak-" Huzi stepped on the brake, the Wrangler stopped, Xiao Nan rubbed her eyes, through the front window, she found that the car was parked in front of Peng Peng's automobile and motorcycle maintenance repair shop, and there were forty or fifty large-displacement locomotives of various types parked densely on both sides of the store.
"Woke up?" Huzi said with a smile, "I slept quite hard along the way, and it seems that your work is not very leisurely." ”
"Aren't we going to eat, why are we here?" Xiao Nan pointed to the rows of locomotives outside and asked, "And why are there so many cars parked here?"
"Just go in and find out. Huzi pretended to be mysterious. He turned off the engine and pulled out the car key, opened the door and got out of the car, beckoning to Xiao Nan: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go~"
Xiao Nan jumped out of the car a little hesitantly, followed Huzi to the store, and just walked to the door of the store, suddenly she thought of something, reached out and grabbed Huzi, and asked in a low voice: "I said, you guys shouldn't be stupid enough to want to expose my old bottom in public, right?"
"What do you want?" Huzi had an innocent expression: "Do you think I look like that kind of brainless idiot? Just follow me, you don't need to care about anything else." ”
Before the two finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the inside, it was the shopkeeper Peng Peng and the technician Xiaodong. "Why are you here? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. The two guys complained to Huzi, and when they saw Xiao Nan, they didn't show a look of surprise on their faces, they just smiled at her and didn't say anything.
The attitude of the two made Xiao Nan feel even more strange, because she hadn't been here for a long time, and looking at this posture, they obviously knew in advance that she was coming tonight.
Peng Peng and Xiao Dong led Huzi and Xiao Nan to the second floor, which is the fixed activity location of the team.
As soon as he went upstairs, Xiao Nan was taken aback, the second floor was crowded like a discotheque dance floor, and it seemed that there were at least forty or fifty of them, some standing, some sitting and some squatting, and it was also a loss that Peng Peng's second floor was large enough, otherwise it would really not be able to accommodate them. Some of these people are old faces, and some of them look very raw, and when they saw Huzi and Xiao Nan going upstairs, they all turned sideways to make way for them.
"Are you all here?" asked Huzi aloud to the riders in the hall on the second floor.
"It's all here!" replied to him in a number of voices at different locations.
"OK! I'm calling everyone here today to announce something important. Hu Ziyi stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Nan in front of him, and said to everyone: "But first, I want to officially introduce one person to everyone, that is, her, Cheng Xiaolan." ”
The eyes of the drivers were all on Xiao Nan. Of course, there are many veteran drivers who have seen her or heard about her before, but many more novices are seeing Xiao Nan for the first time, this mysterious young girl who is dressed casually but is extraordinarily beautiful, has firmly attracted their attention from the moment they go upstairs, and a few younger newcomers are laughing and whispering to each other, obviously judging her.
Huzi waited until everyone was quiet for a while before he continued: "Actually, some of our brothers have known Xiaolan for a long time, but you don't know her true identity at all, in fact, she is ......"
Before the words came out, his wrist hurt, and it turned out that Xiao Nan was in a hurry and pinched him with force. "Huzi, you-"
Huzi looked at Xiao Nan's eyes, shook his head slightly, and whispered, "You have to believe me." ”
"But ......" Xiao Nan was still not at ease.
"You must believe me!" Huzi looked at her with an unusually determined and calm look.
Xiao Nan looked at him for a few seconds, sighed softly, and finally let go of Huzi's wrist.
Huzi turned back to face his fellow motorcyclists and said loudly: "I think everyone knows that the creator of the Iron Riding Dream is not me, but Cheng Xiaonan, and she-" Huzi's eyes fell on Xiao Nan's face with a somewhat panicked expression: "She is Cheng Xiaonan's cousin......"
Xiao Nan heard Huzi say this, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. To some extent, Huzi didn't lie, Cheng Xiaolan is indeed Cheng Xiaonan's cousin, but the real Cheng Xiaolan is Xiao Nan's fourteen-year-old cousin who has never met in the Northeast, and Xiao Nan after transformation only occasionally uses her identity.
Huzi didn't care about the audience's discussions, and then said loudly to them: "In October last year, the founder of our team, Cheng Xiaonan, suddenly disappeared mysteriously, we looked for him for a long time and didn't find him, no one knows why he disappeared, and no one knows where he went, but according to the only clues, we believe that he seems to have caused some trouble that should not be provoked...... Of course, as his friends, we have never given up our efforts, so, just recently, we got a reliable clue that a blue Suzuki Falcon that Cheng Xiaonan drove before his disappearance had appeared many times in a small mountain town......"
As soon as Huzi spoke, the hall suddenly seemed to be fried, and the older drivers all looked shocked and excited, while the newcomers surrounded the seniors next to them to ask what was going on.
Huzi parted the crowd and strode towards the map hanging on the wall. Xiao Nan often used this map before his "transformation" to explain the route planning of travel activities. Huzi pointed to a certain location on the map with his hand and said, "This is it!"
"Brother Huzi, can we go to the town and find that blue Suzuki Falcon, and then we can find Brother Xiao Nan?" asked a young man in his early twenties in the crowd, this young man Xiao Nan didn't know, and was obviously a newcomer who joined later.
Huzi shook his head at him: "Theoretically, that's the case, but ...... Actually, it's not that simple. First of all, the chance of the blue Suzuki Hayabusa appearing is not very frequent, sometimes it only appears once in ten days, half a month, or even a month or two, and it is useless for us to kill it now. ”
"That's right......" The young man was a little frustrated when he heard this. "That'...... What are we going to do?"
"It may take a little bit of work for us to find this car. Huzi looked at the young man, glanced around at the surrounding drivers, and said loudly: "We need to send people to that town, the number of people is not too much, three or four cars at a time, bring the radio, and then go around the town, you can meet the best, if you can't meet it, take the photo to find the gas station, motorcycle shop, supermarket in the town, to ask if anyone has seen this car, where to find it......"
"It's as simple as that?" asked a couple of "old" people sitting on the couch with some skepticism.
"Of course not!" said Huzi, "we are not sure that we will find it once we go, so we have to go often, so many of us can be divided into a dozen groups, go to a few cars at a time, and make sure that there are our people there every day in that town...... Only then will we have more chances to meet that blue Suzuki Hayabusa!"
As soon as Huzi's words came out, Xiao Nan behind him couldn't help but shake his head secretly. She understands the phrase "people go to tea and cool", and now the number of newcomers in the team who don't know her has far exceeded the group of "old" people she brought out, for those newcomers, the name Cheng Xiaonan is abstract, there is no clearing, there is no common experience, why should people help? You must know that the distance from the urban area to the small town in the mountains is not close, and their large-displacement locomotives have to pay dozens of dollars just for fuel money back and forth, although it is not much, but it is enough for people to run around for a person they don't know, just because Cheng Xiaonan is the founder of this team?
Sure enough, the reaction in the hall was a little cold, and those old faces certainly didn't need to say much, and most of the newcomers were looking left and right, obviously waiting to see how their partners reacted, and then make their own decisions.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Peng Peng took two puffs of cigarettes, stood up from the chair and looked at Huzi and Xiao Nan, and questioned: "It's okay for you to do this, but ...... It's a very boring job, running all day long in the little ravine, there is no scenery to see, no chicks to soak, and no one pays the hairdresser, and they have to pay for the gasoline themselves, I don't know how many of these guys are willing to go? Of course, we 'old' people will definitely go, after all, the love is here......"
Huzi nodded, turned to the crowd in front of him and asked loudly, "Peng Peng is right...... We are all willing to do this, we will go if we are willing to go, and we will not be reluctant to go if we are not willing to go!"
"I'll go! I'll go!" The young man who was talking to Huzi just now raised his hand and squeezed out of the crowd, he walked up to Xiao Nan, and said to Xiao Nan with a slightly shy expression: "Sister Xiaolan, although I have never seen Brother Xiao Nan's demeanor, but we newcomers have heard his legend...... The days since joining the team have been the happiest time of my life, and I can have so many friends today because of the iron riding dream that Xiao Nan has built up, and it is my honor to be able to do something for him!"
Before the young man's words fell, dozens of people present raised their arms one after another, and there was no exception. Seeing those unfamiliar and sincere faces, Xiao Nan's vision instantly became blurred......
