Chapter 70: The Shame of the Old Driver
Driving along the uneven and broken mountain road feels like riding a boat, but the scenery along the way is really good, with large deep pools, lakes, and even waterfalls flowing directly down from the top of the mountain in the distance.
The lake flows from nowhere, with thick reeds growing all around, and along the shore there are all dense trees, the roots of which are entangled and submerged in the water, and the bridge lies horizontally over the water, the water is turquoise, and from time to time you can see the shadows of black and silver fish passing over the water.
Along the way, there is a typical scenery of the southern water town, which makes people feel refreshed and pleasing to the eye, Bai Yujing and Li Hao began to play around in a relaxed mood, and walked down from time to time to take a look, take pictures to commemorate, there are vendors carrying fruit baskets on the side of the road, Bai Yujing will get out of the car to buy some when he sees it.
However, while playing in the back, the two of them were in no mood, and the originally scheduled plan seemed to have been hindered by something.
"Didn't you say it's easy to find?" Li Hao looked at Bai Yujing a little speechlessly.
At this moment, it was getting late, Bai Yujing drove around the neighborhood for an afternoon, but still found nothing, the sun was setting, Bai Yujing leaned on the car door, expressing some helplessness: "According to what Professor Qiu said, it should be around here, but how to ask the people next to him, everyone said that they had never heard of this village." ”
Bai Yujing saw a convenience store in front of him, and immediately walked in, and after a while, he walked out dejectedly, "It's still not good, this is also a local, he said that he hadn't heard of this village." ”
Li Hao said next to him: "Are you sure the name is not mistaken?" Maybe it's not called that? Or is the address not in this area at all? ”
Bai Yujing shook his head: "You can't be mistaken, I asked a few times, the old man said that it was called Shuiyuan Village, it is estimated that after so many years, the village has changed its name or moved away?" ”
Li Hao immediately said: "Then it's a bit troublesome, if there is no one, aren't we coming for nothing?" It's useless even if we find an empty village! ”
Bai Yujing raised his hand and said that it was not necessarily: "As long as we find the village, there will definitely be a harvest, let's go back first, and find Lin Ruoqiao tomorrow, her mother should come out of this village, ask her and her father should have a harvest!" ”
Li Hao scratched his head: "Ah! Why didn't you ask them sooner so we could find out today! ”
Bai Yujing didn't expect that he couldn't even find the place, it was indeed a little unexpected: "I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect that the people around me hadn't heard of this village at all, there was no way, it was getting dark, let's go back first!" ”
On the way back, Bai Yujing made a call while driving, and went out with a headset, waited for a long time, and when he was almost hung up, the phone was connected: "Hello, Professor Qiu?" I'm Bai Yujing, Xiaobai, do you remember? ”
"I've been to Qinzhou here, but I've been around the place you said for a long time, and I haven't found the water source village you mentioned, I want to ask how you got here at that time." Bai Yujing saw that Professor Qiu Shanqin recognized him, and immediately said.
"Oh, okay, you see what you remember, tell me, trouble Professor Qiu!" Bai Yujing hung up the phone in disappointment, it seems that after so many years, Professor Qiu is also old, and his memory of the year is not so clear, some important things are still remembered, and the details are forgotten, not to mention that the development of roads and towns is changing with each passing day at the moment, I am afraid that Professor Qiu will not recognize it when he comes here in person.
Bai Yujing thought for a while, and made another call to Lin Ruoqiao, and this time Lin Ruoqiao's energetic voice soon appeared: "Why, uncle, you missed me after just leaving for a while?" ”
Bai Yujing knew that he was going to talk to Lin Ruoqiao, and he didn't know where to go: "I'll talk to you about business, you were born in Qinzhou when you were a child, you should be very familiar with this generation, do you know where your mother's hometown is?" ”
Lin Ruoqiao pondered for a while: "Hmm!! I'm more familiar with it, but I don't know much about my mother, my dad rarely mentions her, and I've only seen her photos, so I really don't know much about this, and I must ask my dad about this, but he's an old-fashioned one, I don't want to ask him, he just scolded me, and I've run out of the house. ”
Bai Yujing also wanted to ask his father about Lin Ruoqiao's relationship, but she didn't expect that she would fall out with her father again as soon as she came home.
"I'm looking for a place this time, maybe your mother's hometown, don't you want to go to the place where your mother grew up and experience what kind of environment your mother grew up in?" Bai Yujing immediately used the method used to fool Li Hao at the beginning.
But Lin Ruoqiao didn't eat this: "Haha, don't want to let me do things for nothing with my mouth, no way." ”
As long as it's not a refusal, if there's a request, you can talk: "Then how do you want to help me with this?" ”
Lin Ruoqiao thought for a while, and didn't make a decision for a long time: "I haven't thought about it yet, just when you and Xiao Lizi owe me a wish, I'll tell you if I think about it." ”
This kind of desire without restrictions is more troublesome, it is better to say it clearly at the price, but Bai Yujing still agreed: "Yes, but don't go too far!" ”
"Okay, tomorrow morning you wait for me at the place where I got off today, and I'll pick you up." Lin Ruoqiao's tone sounded very happy, as if it was a very happy thing to make Bai Yujing and Li Hao deflated.
Bai Yujing hung up the phone, and saw Li Hao looking at him with a resentful face: "You agreed without asking my opinion." ”
"It's okay, anyway, after the matter is done, we will repay the debt, and we will have run away by then, can she still find us to collect debts?" Bai Yujing looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
Li Hao crooked his mouth: "This is not necessarily, this little girl will be avenged for her flaws, and she holds a grudge very much, if you dare to rely on her account, I guess she will definitely not give up." ”
"It's not so evil!"
"Give it a try!"
"Try it, try it, I can still be afraid of her!"
When Bai Yujing returned to the hotel, it was already completely dark, and when the car just stopped at the door, the computer that Li Hao placed on the side suddenly made an alarm sound, Bai Yujing was stunned, and he didn't understand what was going on, but Li Hao reacted immediately, and kept pressing the keyboard on the computer, Bai Yujing thought that his typing speed was already very fast, but compared with Li Hao, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth, this hand speed, it was even worse than being single for forty years!
Li Hao said excitedly: "Someone has started to connect to the eavesdropping device, we can catch him according to the signal!" ”
I only saw that the waves on the screen kept rotating, a large row of letters and pop-ups kept jumping out, and finally stopped on a map, Bai Yujing took a look, and it turned out to be a few streets not far from him, Bai Yujing immediately started the vehicle and chased out, today I must take a look at who this person in the dark wants to make his own ghost is.
"It's just ahead, it's almost there, we'll be able to catch him this time!" Li Hao was also a little excited, this was the time to show his skills and strength.
Bai Yujing immediately rushed forward, passed through a crowded street, and entered a night market cluster, Bai Yujing slowed down, observed the surroundings, until the end of the front, saw a black van.
"Past, past, it's the car." Li Hao said immediately.
Bai Yujing was also very excited, and drove the car closer, at this time the window opened, and a man in his twenties with a cowboy hat leaned out of it, threw out a can, and just turned around and saw the blue Land Rover behind.
The young man was stunned, Bai Yujing also saw the man's face clearly through the glass, the two looked at each other, and Bai Yujing immediately sped up: "He found us." ”
The young man was also very fast, quickly released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator, immediately got on the highway, and ran ahead, Li Hao didn't expect this person to be so lucky, and found signs of the two at the critical moment, judging from the car he recognized Bai Yujing, it can be confirmed that it is him.
"Chase, don't let him run."
Bai Yujing also held his breath, followed the van in the back, and quickly followed, and drove side by side with him several times, Li Hao even saw the person's face through the car window.
"Take a picture of him with your phone." Bai Yujing said immediately.
Li Hao reacted immediately, picked up his mobile phone and rolled down the window, the man also found Li Hao's movements, panicked, hurriedly sped up, and immediately overtook Bai Yujing, Bai Yujing was convinced, but at this moment it was time to get off work, the highway to the top car came and went, and there were crowds passing by from time to time, Bai Yujing had just barely escaped the identity of the new driver, and drove the car, of course, there was a little hesitation.
Finally arrived at an intersection, the young man stepped on the red light for the last period of time and rushed out, directly running the red light, Bai Yujing was stunned for a moment, and saw that the car on the other side had already driven out, so he could only stop at the intersection and watch the van go away.
"I'll go, you can't do this, your driving skills are too poor, and you usually dare to brag to me about the old driver!" Li Hao patted his thigh vigorously, and let the thief run away like this, unwillingly.
What else can Bai Yujing do, his driving skills are not good, find an old driver tomorrow to learn how to drive.
For now, I can only change the topic: "Did you just take a picture of that person?" ”
Li Hao picked up the mobile phone, Bai Yujing looked at it, and could only see a small part of the side face, which was not very clear, and couldn't help but say with disdain: "You also have to learn this photography technique hard." ”
