Chapter 30: Off the beaten path
Wei Xiaodong left his second aunt's house early the next morning and began his plan to go off the beaten path. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Xiaodong took the map given to him by the boss Shao Jiang, and on the map, Wei Xiaodong did his homework. He also brought a small collapsible tent. Just in case. Wei Xiaodong's destination is Shanghai, that is, all the way to the east.
Wei Xiaodong walked out of the neighborhood of his second aunt's house. Head to where the sun rises. Wei Xiaodong is very proud of his actions to create history.
If life is a road, Wei Xiaodong thinks, this is his life path.
Wei Xiaodong had rarely looked at maps before, but this time he was a little addicted to research, and he renamed the map himself. Set the final destination Shanghai as the ninth stop. At the ninth stop, his unusual path was successfully completed.
Wei Xiaodong expects his unusual trip to take more than half a month. Although it takes a lot more time than taking the train, the insight and fun you get from it are incomparable to taking the train.
Wei Xiaodong didn't want to be high-profile in the provincial capital, so he didn't use his own way of walking, that would be too shocking, people would think that a martial arts hero had come to the world to walk, and now there are so many star chasers, Wei Xiaodong didn't want to be a star, so he didn't leave.
However, this is too slow! I have to think of a way, Wei Xiaodong saw a bicycle repairer on the side of the road in front of him, and there were a lot of broken bicycles on the side, Wei Xiaodong stepped forward to take a look at those bicycles.
To be honest, although these bicycles are broken, they also have advantages, such as being very safe, Wei Xiaodong thought, when the time comes, they don't need to be locked at all when they are put on the side of the road.
There is also the fact that if you ride a bicycle like this, except for the bell of the car, it will ring everywhere, and people will automatically give way to you.
These two advantages made Wei Xiaodong fall in love with a bicycle, and this bicycle is the king of these bicycles. Either way, it's the best. For such a configuration, Wei Xiaodong is very satisfied.
"Boss, how much does your bike sell?" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"Are you calling me boss? I'm just a car mechanic!" said the middle-aged uncle.
"Uncle, how do you sell these cars?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Do you have a crush on that one?" said the uncle who repaired the car.
Wei Xiaodong pushed the bicycle he had his eye on out.
The car repair uncle said: "You just look at it." "Uncle, I don't know the market, what if I say too little and it hurts your heart?"
"Then you can give ten dollars!" said the car repairman.
"Ten yuan?" Wei Xiaodong exclaimed.
"Eight dollars, save you two. Uncle Repair said.
Wei Xiaodong stopped talking, he was afraid that if he spoke again, this car repair uncle would be angry and didn't want money, which would be difficult to do.
Wei Xiaodong gave the car repair uncle eight yuan, and rode the bicycle king and walked up.
"I finally sold this car, I really didn't expect it. The car mechanic muttered to himself.
This car is of good quality, and the brand can still be seen on it, permanently. Wei Xiaodong thought that this car must be much older than himself. How much it has contributed, and now I don't know how many hands it is.
Wei Xiaodong rode the bicycle king forward, the effect was really good, and the people in front of him really gave way. Wei Xiaodong of the province shouted. Wei Xiaodong was really satisfied.
However, when he walked to the front, someone set up a stall on the sidewalk, which affected Wei Xiaodong's way forward, Wei Xiaodong was very angry, so he pushed his bicycle past him.
It turned out that it was not a stall, but a begging for food. Wei Xiaodong looked at this person carefully, and it seemed that he would definitely not be more than twenty years old.
He crouched on the ground with a broken bowl in front of him. There was not a single money in the bowl. This person has clear eyebrows, not like a begging for food!
"May I ask this big brother, what are you doing here? You definitely don't look like you are asking for food! You are so young. Wei Xiaodong said.
"I'm a writer, and I wanted to write a novel about beggars, but as soon as I experienced it, I fell in love with the job. The man said.
"Why?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"I found that the world of beggars is actually very exciting, and the most important thing is that the income of this job is okay, at least much better than that of me as a writer. The man said.
"Then are you going to do it like this?" Wei Xiaodong then asked.
"When I have saved enough money to buy a house, I will quit and continue to work as a writer. The man said.
Wei Xiaodong sighed, young people nowadays are really powerful, and they will do anything for their own lives.
"When you go back and continue writing, you will definitely become popular. Wei Xiaodong continued to walk forward.
Wei Xiaodong looked at the map again, and it was still thirty miles away from his first stop. This first destination is really impressive.
It is said that it used to be the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, but now it is no longer beautiful.
Wei Xiaodong was walking on the road on a bicycle, originally he wanted to keep a low profile, but the performance of this car was really good, and the sound it made was simply too attractive to attention.
When people heard this, they hid to the side one after another, and they didn't forget to take a look. Wei Xiaodong thought, I want to go from here to the ninth station, and people can see me, but they don't know who I am.
Wei Xiaodong finally reached his first stop with great effort, but the king of this bicycle was also dying, and Wei Xiaodong felt that its front handlebar would fall off immediately. The front wheels are also crumbling.
Wei Xiaodong stopped in front of a noodle restaurant, he was really a little hungry, so he went to order a noodle.
Wei Xiaodong sat in a noodle restaurant and ate noodles. Suddenly, he saw that his bicycle had disintegrated on its own, and its front and rear wheels, shelves, etc. were torn apart. The bike has finally finished its way. Rest in peace.
Then, Wei Xiaodong watched a sanitation worker come over and collect all the parts that were scattered all over the place. Wei Xiaodong also faintly heard the sanitation worker say: "Who is this who is so unqualified, littering everywhere." ”
Wei Xiaodong's first faithful companion who took the unusual path left like this. It is so tragic, it can be said that the spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch is gray and tears are dry. It used up all its strength. In the end, he left.
Wei Xiaodong only now understood the meaning of the car repair uncle's expression. Forget it, it's all over. The road still has to go down. "Give me some vinegar. Someone shouted opposite Wei Xiaodong. ”
"Isn't that what this is?" said Wei Xiaodong, pointing to the bottle in front of him.
"Thank you, I didn't see it just now. The man said.
"I saw a strange thing just now, I have never seen such a thing in my life, do you want to hear it?" said this person to Wei Xiaodong.
Wei Xiaodong carefully looked at what this person looked like. He is about thirty years old, and his most obvious sign is that he wears a pair of reading glasses, a high nose, and a large mouth. In front of him was an empty bowl with a lot of vinegar poured into it. He didn't wait for Wei Xiaodong to answer before continuing.
"I just walked to the door, next to a bicycle, do you know what happened?" said the man excitedly.
Wei Xiaodong knew what he was going to say. But it can't be stopped.
"That bicycle blew itself up, what kind of suffering did you say it suffered, what kind of things did it go through, and what kind of thing did it choose to leave this world in this way?" Fortunately, Wei Xiaodong had already finished eating, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to eat.
"I think it must have gone through something terrible that overwhelmed it and made it never miss the world again. I think it's better to be broken than to be ......."
Wei Xiaodong had already left the restaurant, and the man was still spitting Xingzi there.
This world is really so exciting, there are all kinds of people! Wei Xiaodong suspects that he is a playwright, otherwise how could he have such a strong imagination?
"Young man, do you want to tell fortunes!" said an old woman to Wei Xiaodong next to her.
At this time, Wei Xiaodong was fine, so he said, "How do you tell fortunes?
"You don't need your birthday, just let me show you your palmistry. The fortune teller said.
Wei Xiaodong squatted down, and the fortune-telling grandmother looked at Wei Xiaodong's palmistry and said, "You have a gold ingot in your palm." ”
His words startled Wei Xiaodong. "Why didn't I see it?
"Young man, I'm not saying that you really have a gold ingot in your hand, I'm talking about your life as a gold ingot. The old woman said.
"Tell me, how did you see it?" Wei Xiaodong said with a smile.
The old woman looked at Wei Xiaodong's face carefully and said, "Why are you so serious! I just said this sentence, I have been talking to others for so many years, and as soon as others heard my words, they immediately gave me two yuan." Look at you young man, don't say you didn't give money, you actually asked me why, how did I see it. If I can really see it, am I still sitting here telling fortunes to others?"
Wei Xiaodong smiled and said, "Grandma, why don't I give you a hexagram! ”
"Forget it, boy, do you tell fortunes? Don't lie to me, old man, I've been doing this for decades. The old woman said.
"Grandma, don't you believe it, I'll count how many children you have!" Wei Xiaodong said.
Wei Xiaodong looked at the face of this old grandmother, according to the method described in Wei Xiaodong's father's photo book. I watched it for a while.
"You have a son and a daughter. ”
