Chapter 235: Overnight at the Highway Hotel

I started the car, turned on the low beams, and subconsciously wanted to look back at her sitting in the back seat, but I had to put on a senseless posture after a breakup, at this time any unconscious concern will become evidence that I still love her, but I only hope to use the indifference as the end of this story.

I exhaled softly, and finally put my foot on the accelerator and drove in the direction of leaving Xitang.

The night completely covered the land, but I drove the car as fast as I could, hoping that this duplicity would end sooner.

After about forty minutes of driving, I grew fed up with the silence that was stiffer than the night, and turned on the music player in the car, and the familiar melody echoed through the car.

After a few songs, Junzi's "Winter Solstice" came from the stereo, and my thoughts drifted back to last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, remembering that Mi Cai at that time specially learned the two songs "Spring Equinox" and "Beginning of Autumn" in order to cooperate with the Chinese New Year's Eve activities of the "fifth season", but did not learn this "Winter Solstice".

At this moment, it seems that she should have fallen in love with the singer Yunzi because of this, so she had "Spring Equinox" in her car. Autumn. Winter Solstice" is an album that has gone out of print.

"Why are there so many walls, all the long road is getting longer and longer"

I was immersed in this lyric in a trance, and in a trance, I couldn't help but think of the road I had traveled, including love and career......

Thinking about it, I seem to have been struggling to cross the walls created by reality over the years, but no matter how hard I tried, I always found that there were higher walls after crossing a wall, so I gained too much helplessness and complaints after gradually becoming weak.

Distracted, I drove through a corner, but forgot to alternately change the high and low beams to alert the oncoming car, I hurriedly switched the high beam to the low beam, but the opposite car did not switch the lights, my vision appeared in the bright light A blind spot, so instinctively forced braking to reduce the speed.

Before I could regain my vision, the car shook violently, and with a scream from Mi Cai behind the car, the airbag on the steering wheel popped out and hit me the head.

I was dizzy for a long time, and then I realized that the car had hit a tree on the side of the road, and the tree had been broken by the waist.

I was afraid for a while, if it weren't for the Q7's higher safety performance and strong braking ability to reduce the speed of the car at a critical moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I hurriedly unbuckled my seat belt, opened the car door and shouted Mi Cai's name and ran to the back of the car, at the moment I was not sure if she was wearing the seat belt in the back seat, if not, it would be so hard to ......

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, my hand trembled and opened the back door, and I was slightly relieved in my heart, Mi Cai's body was wearing a seat belt, but her expression looked a little sluggish.

I tentatively panicked and asked, "I'm sorry, are you okay?" ”

She shook her head for a long time.

"You move your limbs gently and see if there's any injury."

Mi Cai moved his hands and feet slightly, and finally spoke: "No." ”

My hanging heart was relieved at this time, and I suddenly understood why Mi Cai was so frightened, because it was a car accident that took Mi Zhongxin's life, and she was far more afraid of car accidents than ordinary people.

Feeling distressed and remorseful, I unbuckled her seatbelt and picked her up from the car.

She held my hand tightly, and I gently held her in my arms, saying "I'm sorry" to her over and over again, and telling her "We're all right." ”

After Mi Cai's feelings stabilized a little, I finally used Mi Cai's mobile phone to call for help.

About half an hour later, the wrecker truck came to the location of our accident, and Mi Cai registered the relevant information as the owner of the car.

Before the rescuers left, they told us that there was a road hotel 500 meters ahead, and if we were not in a hurry, we could go to the hotel for the night.

The night was already bottomless, and the rescuers had towed the car away for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Mi Cai and I finally calmed down from the thrill just now.

I asked her, "Are you going to stay in a road hotel?" …… Or let's wait here to see if there are any cars passing through Suzhou. ”

"I'm tired."

I nodded, then bent down and motioned for her to come up, and I carried her to the road hotel in front of me.

She was not burdened by the so-called breakup, and lay on top of me as she had done before, and I gently lifted her up, and with the help of the lights of the passing vehicles, I walked along the trees on the side of the road to the hotel on the side of the road.

……

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we finally saw the road hotel that the rescuers had said, a very old hotel, with deep and shallow craters everywhere in front of the hotel because of the long-term heavy goods vehicle crushing, and the air was filled with the smell of gasoline and diesel.

This made me blame myself even more, thinking that Mi Cai should have never stayed in such an inferior hotel.

Pushing open the door, I walked into the hotel with Mi Cai on my back, and sat at the front desk a slightly chubby middle-aged woman knitting a sweater while watching the TV.

I put down Mi Cai and motioned for her to sit on the chair in the corner for a while, but she didn't leave, still standing next to me.

I took out my ID card and said to the middle-aged woman, "Hello, do you still have a room?" ”

"It's gone."

"This ...... None of them? ”

The middle-aged woman said impatiently, "Didn't you see the truck parked at the door?" There was a convoy tonight, and there was no room. ”

I was patient and said, "Help me think of a way, we don't have a place to go if we don't have a shop in the village or behind it." ”

The middle-aged woman finally looked up at me and Mi Cai, and said, "There is really no house, who doesn't want to do business if you have a house!" ”

I pulled out my wallet and pulled out a hundred dollars from it, put it on the counter, and said, "Let's figure it out." ”

The middle-aged woman put a hundred yuan in her pocket, thought for a while and said: "There is a room where our daughter lives, she is studying in a college in another place, and it has been vacant for a long time, there is no bathroom in it, and it can only be used for public use. ”

I watched as Mi Cai asked for her opinion, and she nodded.

I took out another hundred yuan and handed it to the middle-aged woman, she waved her hand and said, "No, the money I just gave is enough." After that, he took out a key from the drawer and motioned for Mi Cai and me to go with her.

……

Walking down a narrow hallway, we finally arrived at the room that the middle-aged woman had spoken of, and she opened the door and motioned for us to enter.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "You can go in and stay, I'll just make do with the sofa in the hall for the night." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at me suspiciously, maybe in her eyes we were a couple, and it was only natural to live in a room.

Mi Cai looked at me and was silent for a while before saying, "I'm scared to live alone." ”

The middle-aged woman had already turned on the light and said to me: "The girls say that they are scared, and you are awkward as a young man, and besides, I don't have an extra quilt for you when you sleep on the sofa outside...... Anyway, overnight, you overcome, overcome, if it's really inconvenient, move a chair for you, and you sleep on your desk. ”

I looked at Mi Cai again, and she still had a palpitating expression, obviously still afraid of the car accident just now.

I finally nodded to the middle-aged woman and said, "Then please move a chair." ”
