Chapter 18 The Old Driver

It's still a little early in the evening, about three or four o'clock. It's just that the snow is falling all the time, so the sky looks a little uncertain.

It's really tiring like this......

"According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the rain and snow will continue for three to four days, but I didn't expect the first snow of the year to be so long. Let's listen to a set of newsletters......"

"Wanted Criminal...... Li Ming"

The radio in the car was tuned to the news channel, because the other stations didn't seem to have a good signal today.

Hah, it's time for this car radio to be repaired......

Driving on the road, the old driver was a little bored thinking, the wipers paddled and scratched, and he suddenly wanted to stop and drink a cup of hot tea or something.

The tea on the side of the seat was already cold, because he had run too far before sending a drunk guest to the suburbs.

There's no way, it's almost the New Year, and a brother like him who is running around for a living and 'living a comfortable year' will generally not refuse the money he can make.

It's a little bit to be able to make a little money, especially at his age, maybe by this time next year he won't be able to drive anymore.

Thinking about how many transactions he has made today and how much money he has left this year, the old driver's sideburns are already white, and the backs of his hands are rough like tree bark.

"If I can't wait to drive, I'll go to the school gate to sell breakfast, it's an errand anyway. ”

The old driver has no children under his knees, and he doesn't even have a wife.

Because he is often full and hungry in his line of work, he may not even take care of himself, and if he is as kind as him, he naturally refuses to pull others into the water.

In the past, he relied on himself, and in the future, he can only rely on himself.

Men are just tired.

Thinking like this, the old driver suddenly had a thrill.

"There's a guest. ”

There is no need to deliberately confirm with your eyes, people who have been in the taxi industry for a long time will have an indescribable intuition.

It's like looking through the window of a car on the side of the street, and the experienced driver deliberately sees which of them are his potential customers, which people are going closer, which people are going farther away, and even those who don't know where they are going.

When they looked at the cars passing on the street, they had already conveyed all the information to their own eyes.

Of course, this is just the beginning. When a driver becomes a 'veteran', he has a vague sense of whether he will meet customers in the next few minutes.

It sounds mysterious, but a lot of times that's how it happens.

Trusting his instincts, the veteran driver began to pay attention to the road ahead.

This is the highway, and the old driver chose this route for the sake of being faster on the way back - he knows some 'secret roads' to bypass the toll booths.

There's nothing ahead, there's not a single car on the road, and the snow is falling so hard today that no one likes to drive out in the middle of the weather.

"Alas...... Looks like I'm really going to retire......"

Laughing at himself, the old driver had his free hand to play with the radio channel, which was full of flashy things, and five minutes of listening was enough. If you really want to pass the time, you can still search for some miscellaneous talk or music.

It's just that before he could adjust the channel, the corner of his eye swept a figure that seemed to suddenly appear on the side of the road.

It was a tall man, a little thin, and he held out his hand to the old driver's car, which was a gesture to call a car.

There is no way to stop on the highway, so the old driver has to drive the car out first, but it just so happens that there is an exit not far ahead.

Although there are some doubts about this young man who stopped a car on the highway, this situation is not unheard of by the old driver.

Young people, fun-loving, crazy and crazy on the highway, maybe after a hangover only to find that they were left in the wilderness.

When you meet such a person, you can help if you can.

The old driver is a good man.

"Thank you, go to Zhangxian, if you can, go to the nearest bus stop. ”

Parked, the door of the front seat was opened by the car stopper, the other party spoke Mandarin, and there was no expected alcohol on his body, it looked like he should be a guy living in a remote area in the suburbs - looking at this 'demeanor not temperature' clothes, the old driver felt that this guest was pulled.

"Zhangxian?" "Zhangxian?" ”

There will be no shortage of guests coming back from Zhangxian County, and with years of experience, the old driver knows where to find such guests.

300 yuan, but it is just the fuel cost of a trip plus some addition, and the old driver did not make much.

"Okay, but please hurry up, it's best to arrive before 6 o'clock, I'll have a party." ”

The guy who got in the car was naturally Mo Ye, and he had already taken off his mask at the moment.

"Okay, but I'll have to add a hundred dollars. The old driver agreed without even thinking about it.

If you want to get to Zhangxian before 6 o'clock, the only safe way is not to bypass the toll booth.

The 100 yuan is the 'road fee'.

"No problem, I'll pay half of the deposit upfront. "Mo Xie's necklace space has a lot of cash, and although the price of the Holy Book has fluctuated greatly, the price of paper money is very low.

Because, in the end, paper money is just paper, and the Holy Book is not enough to increase the price of paper - it is still a bit of a morality.

took out two red skins, Mo Ye handed them over directly, this bold style and his ancient style after 'plastic surgery' at the moment, at first glance it was really indescribably clean and neat.

The old driver was stunned for a moment before taking the banknote handed out by Mo Ye.

After so many years in the industry, he has never encountered a case where he received money before the car was driven.

The money is real, and the old driver who has read countless money knows it the first time he touches these two tickets.

"Could it be that I met a local tyrant?"

Even the old driver himself is a little blinded by this money.

"Let's drive. ”

Mo Xie kindly reminded that indeed, his reminder was very kind.

6 o'clock is the time for the 'shift change', and punctuality will definitely come out on time.

Old driver, ask for more blessings
