The driver of the white pickup truck probably found Liu Chen standing on the side of the road waving his hands, and stopped unhurriedly, and the driver poked out half of his head: "What are you doing?"

"Big brother, is it convenient to take your car?" Liu Chen had a bright smile on his face, and his tone was quite respectful.

The driver said impatiently, "Do you know where I'm going?" ”

Liu Chen hurriedly took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, and handed them over with a smile: "Big brother, don't you just keep moving forward? ”

The driver saw the red banknotes, and there were quite a few of them, so he smiled and said, "Where are you going, young man?"

Liu Chen continued to smile, nodded and said, "Big brother, I'll go to Xishuangbanna." ”

Probably because the driver was on the way, or it was a money fan who saw money, he nodded and signaled, "Come on." ”

Liu Chen jumped directly into the truck excitedly: "Thank you, big brother." ”

The driver started the truck again and said with a smile: "I still wonder, are you blocking the road and robbing, you guy, look at me scared." ”

Liu Chen fastened his seat belt and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are talking really interesting." ”

The truck continued along the asphalt road, slowly moving forward.

The scenery along the way is still good, along the way are overgrown with all kinds of crops, full of colorful small wildflowers, red like fire, pink like xia, white like snow...... A burst of fragrant smell came to the nostrils, so pleasant!

The truck driver was a middle-aged man, with dark skin, thin body, and some thief eyebrows, and he didn't look like a good person, and he took the lead in breaking the silence in the car: "Young man, you said you sit on my thing, this speed is slow, comparable to turtle speed, I don't know when I can get to Banna?"

Liu Chen took over the conversation with a smile: "Big brother, in this world now, who dares to take a plane? ”

"The plane is scary? I really didn't expect it," the truck driver burst into a hearty voice: "I didn't see it, such a big young man, so timid." ”

"Then you can take the train. The truck driver squinted at Liu Chen.

Liu Chen continued to smile and said: "Oh, big brother, this train, you can't sit on it anymore, there is a loud noise everywhere, you can't sleep because of the noise, and the carriage, all of which are the smell of instant noodles, plus the smelly feet and snoring, you can't stop casually, and you will suffer a lot." ”

"Where to stop, where to take the bus," the truck driver laughed, and pointed to his somewhat crowded pickup truck: "Look at me, when are you wandering around?"

"You don't understand this, big brother," Liu Chen hurriedly came out to play a round: "Big brother, let me tell you, now that foreigners go out to play, they like to take a truck, with a wide line of sight and excitement, hahaha." ”

"The lad has a personality," the truck driver was also amused and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Hey, big brother, I don't listen to your accent, it doesn't look like a local, it looks like a northern accent. Liu Chen smiled and changed the topic.

The truck driver laughed and said, "Hear that, boy?"

Liu Chen was a little curious: "Big brother, why did you come here to drive?"

The truck driver waved his hand: "You don't understand this, right? Young man, you don't go out much, let me tell you, where there are people now, there are us northerners, you said that now the earth is almost a village, what else is there here? As long as there is money to be made, I tell you, you can go anywhere, as long as you can live, you can do it anywhere." ”

"Big brother, you have seen the world a lot," Liu Chen handed a cigarette up: "All of them are full of social experience." ”

The truck driver took the cigarette, lit it, and smiled modestly: "It's okay, listen to your accent, you are also from the north?"

Liu Chen nodded: "Well, that's right." ”

"Then you are here for tourism, or are you doing business?" The truck driver glanced at Liu Chen: "Anyway, I look at it, you don't look like you're here for tourism." ”

"Big brother," Liu Chen took a puff of cigarette: "I'm a person, I like the sense of freedom to go out and walk around casually." ”

"He's really a person with a personality," the truck driver said with a smile, "It's really chic to be young, so it's okay to come out and go around more, see more people in this society, and increase social experience." ”

……

The two of them were like this, sitting in the truck, chatting and bragging with each other, and unconsciously, Liu Chen felt that his mouth was dry for a while, and he found that he was really not fully prepared to go out this time, and he didn't even bring mineral water.

At this time, he was like an explorer migrating on foot on the vast desert road, without a trace of strength, his mouth was very thirsty, his throat was like a piece of burnt red iron, and a burst of anxiety hit his heart, and at this time the sun was also at the highest, emitting an incomparably hot and intense light, and his body was also sweating.

Liu Chen looked at the endless highway and said with a smile: "Big brother, if you pass by the service station in front later, you stop for a while, I'll buy some water, and then buy you some cigarettes." ”

"Hahaha," the truck driver laughed as if he had heard a big joke: "Still a service station? Let me tell you, this road is simply deserted, and the money in your pocket is like carrying straw paper, and nothing is sold." ”

"Then what if I'm thirsty?" Liu Chen was a little curious.

"Didn't I prepare my own mineral water," the truck driver gestured to the place where the debris was discharged behind him, "I have water here." ”

Liu Chen flattered and took out a bottle of water from behind, unscrewed it with a smile, and handed it over: "Big brother, look at me, the service is not in place, I said that I didn't send you water to drink for a long time, come on, come on, you drink some." ”

The truck driver took it with a smile: "Okay, thank you." After speaking, he raised his head directly, poured water into his mouth, and said with a smile while drinking water: "It's a little thirsty, the weather is hot, and my mouth is dry." ”

Liu Chen sat aside, the impatience in his heart, he couldn't help but lick his somewhat chapped lips with his tongue, he was now, very eager to take a sip of water, seeing the truck driver next to him drinking more than water, thirsty like a haunting ghost, crazy stimulating his cerebral cortex nerves.

The truck driver saw Liu Chen, who was sitting on pins and needles, took out a bottle of mineral water, handed it over with a smile, and said: "Young man, why are you thirsty? Let me tell you, thirst tastes the most uncomfortable, it is like a painful torment, I tell you, you must not carry it." ”

Liu Chen looked at the clear water in front of him and wanted to reach out to take it, but he immediately thought of the trust he had finally earned, as well as the valuables in his travel bag, plus he was not very familiar with this driver, so he just smiled: "Big brother, thank you for your kindness, I'm not thirsty." ”

"Hey, do you dislike me?" the truck driver seemed a little unhappy.

Liu Chen hurriedly smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and drank it in a big gulp: "Then thank you big brother, I won't be polite to you." ”

After a period of binge drinking, Liu Chen was satisfied, he was like a flower ravaged by the sun, finally ushered in the sweet rain, and his mood was really happy.

I was going to take the car to the destination so smoothly, but I didn't want to, a wave of dizziness greeted him, Liu Chen didn't have time to react, he only had time to scold in his heart:, there is a problem in the mineral water, and then it was dark in front of him, and his body was completely unconscious, and he fell into a muddy nightmare......

Looking at Liu Chen, who was unconscious on the side, the truck driver's dark face showed a big wicked smile, from the moment he got in the car, he felt that Liu Chen was definitely not a serious good person, and there must be something mysterious hidden in his backpack.
