Chapter 208: The future is uncertain
Luo Xiao hurriedly got up from the bed, tidied up her shirt and culottes, briefly combed her messy long hair and washed her face with some thin powder, and when she saw Wu Xiaojun pick up her handbag, she put it in the duffel bag, and hurriedly asked, "I want to take the bag with me, don't put it there." ”
"Don't bring anything else with you except the fare and food items on the road, it's safer to put it in the trunk under the car, this is common sense in travel, you should know."
"Okay, let's put it inside, it seems that you are quite careful."
Wu Xiaojun looked at it carefully again, and didn't leave anything behind, "Okay, let's go!" ”
"Thank you for not closing my eyes for a night with me, reward you." Saying that, he kissed Wu Xiaojun on the face, and he couldn't be particularly embarrassed to cry and laugh, and touched his face with his hand, "You, I don't know how to say it, let's go." ”
The two of them picked up their luggage and went downstairs to run towards the square of the Chrysanthemum Department Store, only to run sweating profusely and panting, fortunately the car had not yet arrived. Wu Xiaojun let out a sigh, "Thank God, I was not late, otherwise I would have tossed by train again!" ”
"Don't say it so easily, maybe something will happen to you!"
Wu Xiaojun stepped forward and covered Luo Xiao's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, you can't say unlucky things when you go out." ”
Luo Xiao felt a little speechless, and hurriedly covered his mouth and smiled, "You are a crow's mouth, and I don't have a door to speak, but I smell like you." ”
This is a long-distance bus station, and the vehicle does not stay overnight here, but usually comes from elsewhere and stops for three or five minutes to pick up people and leave. In less than five minutes, the bus to Yuanzhen drove from it, the two put their luggage away, got into the car and just sat down in the middle seat, the car started a roar and drove directly to the long-distance bus station. There were more people on the station, noisy and noisy, and soon the seats on the train were full.
Luo Xiao found that there were four young men about twenty years old sitting behind him, with long hair and mustaches, all of them with thieves and eyebrows, not like good people, he was a little scared, and whispered in Wu Xiaojun's ear, "Those few behind me seem to be bad people, and they are not sure, so they have to be careful." ”
Wu Xiaojun glanced back and said, "Let's change seats, you sit by the window, and I'll protect you outside." ”
The bus left the station and traveled for nearly two hours, and most of the people who got up early to catch the bus were tired and fell asleep under the bumps of the vehicle. Luo Xiao saw that there was nothing wrong along the way, and he was also sleepy, yawned, and lay on Wu Xiaojun's lap and said, "I'll squint for a while, don't you sleep." ”
"Just sleep, and don't look up, no matter what happens." Then put his hands around her waist so that she would not be hit by the sudden sudden braking.
"Hmm."
When the car entered the mouth of Eling in Dongyao Mountain, Wu Xiaojun's nerves immediately tensed, and he didn't dare to be careless. At an altitude of more than 1,600 meters, this section of the mountain road is extremely steep, with 24 turns, which is called "24 plates" by the locals. The highway is built according to the mountainous terrain, the road surface is very narrow, can only accommodate two passenger cars to pass by, every time the car arrives here, the driver naturally lowers the speed, so here is not only the place where the people who block the road and rob often haunt, but also the accident-prone road section, the local circulation is such a smooth slip: twenty-four plates, twenty-four plates; Three days and two troubles; Either the car hit the mountain, or the car fell into the stream; There are also car wrecks and deaths. It can be seen.
The car is on the twenty-four plates, as the higher and higher the plates, the right side is the smoky bottomless deep valley ditch, Wu Xiaojun sat on the car like walking on the edge of the cliff, at any time may be fall down and the danger of being crushed, the heart is in the throat.
At a turn halfway up the mountain, the four people behind suddenly stood up, Wu Xiaojun pretended to be nothing, squinted his eyes slightly, and peeked at their every move with his spare eyes, his mind was spinning quickly about what to do. I saw that each of them was holding a four-inch-long three-edged knife in his hand, searching for money in the pockets of passengers one by one from back to front, and the action was amazingly fast, and in less than three minutes, some people who were sleeping deeply did not have any reaction, and watches, jewelry, and money were all collected. A few of them who had not slept were so frightened that they turned pale, and no one dared to squeak, so they obediently handed over their weapons.
A thin man stood beside him, put a triangular knife under his armpit, and reached for his trouser pocket. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the frightened man was stunned, and his fierce gaze forced him to look at him, and he threatened in a deep voice, "Don't speak, a squeak will kill you." As he spoke, he shook the triangular knife slightly. He smiled at the man very calmly, then took out a roll of ten-dollar bills, his lips trembled and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, hard work, take a breakfast and buy a pack of cigarettes." ”
The man glared at him, didn't even look at it, took the money and stuffed it directly into his pocket, and then walked to the front, the four of them looked at each other as soon as they met, and one shouted, "Driver, stop, stop, we want to get out of the car." ”
The driver hurriedly stopped the car, and the four people immediately drove away. After the car started, Wu Xiaojun pushed Luo Xiao, "Hurry up, my legs are numb from you." Luo Xiao raised his head in a daze, rubbed his eyes, looked around and asked, "Where are you?" ”
Wu Xiaojun whispered, "Twenty-four plates." The whole car was searched and robbed, and all the people had already run away. ”
Luo Xiao was suddenly frightened and silent, his face was bloodless, "Mom" screamed and fell into his arms, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, did not dare to raise his head, and woke up all the people in the car.
"Alright, alright, don't be afraid, it's okay."
"Oops, my pants are torn," said a middle-aged woman behind her with a crying voice.
"My five hundred dollars are gone."
"The gold necklace my boyfriend just bought for me is gone."
"The money I earned from working in a broken nylon bag was also taken away."
"Who did it, there is no movement, why don't you know at all!"
"I still know that you sleep like a dead pig, and you don't know why you die if you are stabbed to death."
………………………………
The sound of turning things in the car, shouting and scolding, suddenly became a mess, and everyone talked about their losses. Luo Xiao raised his head in shock.
"Don't you drivers and conductors know at all, why don't you shout at everyone, it's just too immoral, just make money and don't care about the life and safety of passengers, you must compensate us for our losses." A migrant worker in his forties and a conductor reasoned.
"Yes, you must compensate us for our losses." The excited passengers echoed in unison.
The middle-aged male conductor said disdainfully, "What are you yelling about, when you get on the bus, I will remind you to take care of your belongings, who let you not worry about sleeping, what does it matter to us if you lose it, you deserve it." ”
"Bastard, how do you talk, there's still a little bit of humanity, I think you and those robbers are in the same group." A woman in her thirties scolded angrily.
The conductor was anxious and pointed with his hand, "Clean your fucking mouth for me, who is a bastard, and then talk nonsense Lao Tzu will drive you down." ”
Wu Xiaojun just wanted to open his mouth to persuade them, but Luo Xiao covered his mouth, "Don't say it, the drivers and conductors who run for a long time know in their hearts that they don't interfere with each other, they do their own thing, and it's useless to say it." Tell me, how big are our losses? ”
Wu Xiaojun looked sad, stretched out five fingers and flipped it.
Luo Xiao asked distressedly, "One thousand?" ”
Wu Xiaojun shook his head.
"Five hundred?"
Wu Xiaojun shook his head again.
"Don't sell it, don't you want to kill me in a hurry, how much is it?"
Wu Xiaojun suddenly laughed stupidly, "It's not right, ten yuan!" ”
"Ten yuan, no, who are you fooling!" Luo Xiao looked at him with deep and deep eyes, and said in disbelief.
"Never lie to you, really. Every time I ride in the car, I prepare some side dishes for them. ”
"Tell me about it, what side dishes?"
"Actually, it's very simple, don't carry so much money with you. Since the first half of last year, I have prepared old money ranging from 10 to 30 yuan before I go out in the car, wrapped in some old newspapers and rolled them into rolls, and put them together separately for emergency needs. This trick really came in handy, just now I took it out and stuffed it into the robber's hand, and he just put it away and left. ”
"Okay, I've learned to deceive people. How did you get that idea? ”
"This is a lesson that my dad bought back from paying tuition. In March last year, he pulled a cart of wheat to the county seat and came back after selling it, not far from Xiguan, the county seat, when suddenly a person riding a bicycle dropped a bag not far in front of him and left directly. A roll of money was revealed in his bag, and he bent down to pick it up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got it in his hand, a person came from behind him and stopped him, saying that he saw it and wanted to divide it equally. My father thought about it, let's divide it equally, and opened the wallet and was dumbfounded, except for a fifty yuan real money on the surface, it was full of newspapers. The man quit and said my dad had hidden the money. My father insisted that he didn't, and took out the money from the sale of wheat for the man to see, but the man took it all. Later I learned that this was called dropping a bomb. One morning I encountered a similar thing on Pingxi Street, I didn't even look at it, I quickened my pace and walked away, but it didn't up. Since then, I've prepared some bombs every time I get in the car. ”
Luo Xiao's brows gradually stretched when he listened, revealing excited joy, and Gege smiled, "That kid was blown up by you, maybe he will scold you!" It feels like a thief eating a thief. ”
"What thief eats thief, this is called treating others the way they do. Nowadays, there are all kinds of places to put money in order to prevent thieves in the car, some are stepped on, sewn in clothes, and even some people hide in the crotch of ....... Most of the girls wear clothes in the summer without pockets, so they simply hide at the bottom of the stockings and step on their feet, and some hide in the ......" Wu Xiaojun was embarrassed to continue.
Luo Xiaozheng listened energetically, and when he suddenly stopped talking, he asked eagerly, "Where are you hiding, say?" ”
Wu Xiaojun attached to her ear and whispered, "Mimi's cover and panties are safe and secure, and no matter how daring a thief is, he will not take his clothes and take money." ”
"you, I don't know if I'm ashamed, I'm sorry for what you said." As he spoke, he twisted his leg hard.
The passengers' momentary noise, scolding, and angry voices of lost property were suppressed a lot by the roar of the conductor, and as the passenger cars climbed along the cliff road, one by one they were worried and full of fear, and soon the car was silent until the car reached the top of the mountain, and all the people seemed to have come out of the ghost gate, and they breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed.
The surrounding mountains were mountain after mountain, and peak after peak, and the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility was getting lower and lower, and the sky was overcast and seemed to be raining. Although the windows were all open, it was still very hot, and many passengers were fanning the wind with homemade simple fans, and the hot sweat was still flowing downward.
Wu Xiaojun's shirt was soaked in sweat to reveal blocks, he felt that his mouth was dry and hot, he drank a few sips of cold boiled water, which was slightly more comfortable, and looked at Luo Xiao's flushed and wet face and kept wiping his sweat with a towel, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao, you are in good spirits, do you think that riding in the mountains is particularly thrilling, and there are endless beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland." ”
"I'm scared to death, it's hard to think that you don't have the energy to not lift your energy, you don't have to take a car from here in the future, it's very dangerous, in case there is a mistake, it's not a joke, so as not to make others worry about you."
The bus winds around in the valley for nearly two hours, just left the Daquansi Reservoir, came to a half-hill slope, for a time the wind was fierce, the dark clouds were thick, the day was like night, the lightning flashed and thundered, the heavy rain fell from the sky, and the whole car was submerged in the rain curtain in an instant. Passengers closed their windows and the car stopped on the side of the road.
The rain did not stop for more than an hour, the clouds cleared, the sky revealed sunlight, and the rain from the mountain gurgled down the path it had opened, washing away the dirt and dust from the mountain, washing away the soot and gravel left behind in the broken pavement. After the baptism of a rainstorm, the mountains and fields look particularly green, and the clouds and mist are slowly fluttering on the mountainside, presenting a very magnificent picture in front of people.
The moment the car window opened, the breeze blew the smell of grass and earth in the mountains, driving away the heat and heat of the whole body. People have to get out of the car, or enjoy the rare mountain scenery after the rain, or move their muscles and bones, or can't bear the outbreak of smoking addiction to smoke a cigarette to relieve their cravings, a few men simply turn their backs to the road to the mountain to solve the internal emergency, a few middle-aged women can not care so much, squatting behind a few clusters of wattles to be convenient. Luo Xiao was extremely excited, standing on the side of the road looking at the distant mountains, and greeted Wu Xiaojun with great interest, pointing and pointing, constantly comparing the shape of the distant mountains to him, depicting the beautiful scenery in the mountains, which was quite comfortable.
The conductor shouted a few times, the passengers returned to their seats, and the vehicle continued on its way. However, the car traveled for more than half an hour, and stopped again when climbing the road, and the vehicles in front of it formed a long queue, and the roadside was full of people, anxiously waiting for something.
The rain was so great that landslides occurred on both sides of the top of the slope, sealing the entire road so tightly that not only cars, but also people. Moreover, this road belongs to the national highway, and there are no villages and towns and roads nearby, so all vehicles have no choice but to wait patiently for large machinery to clear the road.
The two of them were full of helplessness, stood under the car for a while, went to the car again, ate something, Luo Xiao leaned his head on Wu Xiaojun's shoulder, and said guiltily, "Xiaojun, now do you hate me very much in your heart, secretly scold me, let you leave two days late, and accompany me to suffer on the way home from an unpredictable future." ”
