Chapter 318: The Cat in the Vest
Zheng Si sat in the back seat of the car and looked out the window.
Unlike the usual bustle of the previous year, this year seems to be a little more deserted, perhaps due to the reason for the cooler than usual temperature, coupled with the impact of the snow disaster, there is such a change, however, compared to many places and some of the more severely affected villages, towns, mountainous areas, the situation in the city is much better, the most complained by the citizens is probably the first few days ago water pipes frozen and bursting and the like. Others, who don't have the trouble of riding in the car and don't have direct conflicts of financial interest, are just spectators, which will not affect their normal life, and will only discuss a few words with others when they watch the news every day.
Jiao's father has been running the traffic radio channel, the weather has eased a lot in the past two days, and many stranded people have rushed to set off in the past two days, and there are quite a lot of black cars or something, probably thinking about taking advantage of this time to make more money.
In order to prevent traffic jams, Jiao's father also deliberately got up early and set off, but he didn't expect that there were many people who thought the same as Jiao's father, there were many vehicles on the road early in the morning, and there were still several small-scale traffic jams on the road, especially those intersections.
When I finally got out of the city, it had been an hour and a half, and this was the first time Zheng Si had encountered this situation, and he was dizzy when he stopped and stopped.
According to the previous driving path, go directly to the highway after leaving the city, the highway was closed a few days ago, and the closure was lifted in the past two days, but when you were about to get there, the traffic radio reported that there was an accident on the highway, and I hope that the vehicles that are driving there will be rerouted.
No one knows how long Lu Dao will be blocked because of the accident, and Jiao's father can't help it. You can only change the route, and do not take the high-speed to change to other routes.
When passing near several passenger stations, Zheng Si glanced over there, there were still large crowds of people around, the waiting hall was full, there were also some people waiting outside the door, and there were armed police over there to maintain order. Zheng Si also saw taxis, noodles and buses soliciting passengers outside the passenger station, and some people were holding signs with the names of various counties and cities shouting and walking to pull passengers. This is probably what some people call a black car, but at this time, people no longer consider black cars and not black cars. Just get in the car. When the car is crowded, what are the vulnerable people such as the old, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant. Not many people will give way at all, and they will still squeeze when it's time to squeeze.
After leaving the city, Zheng Si was relatively unfamiliar, looking at the buildings on both sides, and recording these new route information.
The road is still a little icy. But it's a lot better than some time ago. Jiao's father can still control it if he drives slowly. It's just that some of the vehicles are speeding as if they were in a hurry. I always squeezed forward, for fear of falling behind, and I almost collided with Jiao's dad twice.
Zheng Sigang scolded the two guys who overtook in his heart. A motorcyclist suddenly inserted directly from the diagonal rear between Zheng Si and the car in front of them, and then quickly passed between the lateral gap between the car in front and another car, Zheng Si was shocked, did this person believe in his own driving skills too much, or did he encounter something urgent?
Ten minutes later, the car stopped again, Zheng Si stood up and looked ahead, the convoy formed again, and the traffic jam was again.
After waiting for a while, he still didn't move, Jiao's father opened the window to breathe, the car was very warm, and his nerves were tense when driving, and now he is more sober when he blows the cold wind.
"Black charcoal, is it cold?" Dad Jiao looked at Zheng sigh in the back seat.
When the windows are opened, the cold air pours in, dissipating a lot of warmth in the car. The wet and cold weather in the south always makes many people in the north very uncomfortable, and Zheng Si, a person who used to live in the south, has also gotten used to it after a few years. Even if it is extremely cold this year, Zheng Si feels okay, and the vest he is wearing today is the winter model given by Xiao Guo. Xiao Guo gave two pieces, one black and one army green, not only can you put things in the vest pocket, but also thicker and warmer, I heard that it is still waterproof.
Seeing that Zheng Si didn't look like he was feeling cold, Jiao's father didn't ask any more.
The driver of the car on the left is smoking outside the car, there are children in their car, and they can't smoke well in the car, so they came out and saw Jiao's father open the window and chatted, he has been driving for nearly 20 hours, although someone took over the rest for five hours on the way, but the replacement person is not good at driving, and almost had an accident, so most of the time he is driving, and now he is in a traffic jam and comes out to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself.
The driver of a car in front also came to join the chat, he solicited customers privately, "Yesterday was quite smooth, the traffic jam did not last long, today I was unlucky, I came out in the morning and was jammed for half an hour, and now it is starting to jam again." ”
"Can you walk in ten minutes?" The driver of the car on the left asked.
"It's difficult, there was a car accident in front, a motorcycle, two private cars, and a truck all crashed, fortunately, no one was killed, three people were seriously injured and were just taken to the hospital, the rest of the two private cars were arguing, no one moved their feet, I heard that the car is quite expensive. A telephone pole was also broken, plus the overturned vehicle, and something that fell to the ground from the truck. It is estimated that it will take at least 20 minutes to open to traffic. ”
Listen to the driver who solicited customers without permission, a few days ago it was more difficult to drive, usually a trip only a little more than two hours, some time ago through the snow, it took more than 10 hours to run, and at any time may break down on the road, the hardships on the road only after driving to know the road, tired to death. It's no wonder that the fare has doubled and doubled, the usual fare of fifty yuan, now a person who fights a black car has to get 100 to 15, and a few days ago it soared to more than 200.
was chatting, and another person came over in front of the convoy, asking the two drivers and Jiao's father to go to the front to help, there are not enough manpower, there are many obstacles, if you want to open the car quickly, there are more people and dredge faster. Otherwise, you'll have to wait a while.
The driver of the car in front of him shook his head, he didn't go, he had to watch the car, his car was full of passengers he didn't know, what if someone took advantage of him to help drive the car away? What should I do if I take anything valuable? What should I do if someone in the car makes a fuss?
The driver of the car next to him didn't think anything, and walked forward with Jiao's father while smoking.
The doors were unlocked, the windows were closed, and soon the temperature inside the car was up again.
Before Jiao's father left, he asked Zheng Si to watch the car, so now Zheng Si didn't take a nap. Keep an eye on the people around the car.
Soon, Zheng Si noticed that someone was coming from the front, and he glanced twice in the car, and Zheng Si knew that he was a guy with crooked thoughts, and when the guy saw the computer bag in the passenger seat, his eyes paused for a little longer.
The man's eyes flashed with joy, and then he walked to the door as if normal, opened the door in the passenger seat, and then, as he was about to reach for the laptop bag in the seat, a dark shadow flashed. There was a sudden pain in his face. The man was kicked out and sat down on the ground without standing firmly.
The man's eyes were full of disbelief, he had just seen that there was no one in the car, and the doors didn't seem to be locked. The cat in the vest was directly ignored by him. He's done this quite a few times. The whole operation won't take long at all, just open the car door and twist the bag, even if the car door is locked, there is a way for him. But I didn't expect that what I thought was a very simple thing turned out to be that the reality was seriously inconsistent with expectations.
Touching his nose, the man looked at the blood on his hands, and then looked at Zheng Si.
Zheng sighed and narrowed his eyes, this person is still not dead? Looking for a kick, what is this?!
Jumping up is another kick.
The man raised his hand to block it, but he misestimated Zheng Si's strength, although he reacted quickly and raised his forearm to block Zheng Si's kick, but the force of the kick made the man lean back, and hit his head on a private car next to him, making a bang. At the same time, Zheng Si also scratched this person's down jacket, and when the wind blew, the duck down flew everywhere.
The person who was wearing a branded down jacket was doing this kind of stealing, which made it difficult for Zheng Si to understand. However, there are a lot of such people, and a few days ago when I went online, I saw someone post a complaint, but I didn't expect to run into it myself.
The driver of the private car on the right heard the movement and opened the window, then looked at the person on the ground, and then looked at Zheng Si, "Hey, what is this for?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, the rear window also opened, and the two teenage children looked out the window, and the little girl said, "Uncle, this person must be a thief!" ”
"It must be a thief!" The little boy added, "The cat in the vest is teaching the thief a lesson!" ”
The man on the ground looked a little embarrassed, and there were blood stains on his face, from his nose to his mouth, because he had touched it with his hand just now, and there was some blood on his face, and there was a long cut on the chest of his clothes, and some of the eiderdown in it was blown out with the wind.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man didn't care about the nosebleed and the scratched down jacket, and immediately got up and ran before the people around him saw it, running too fast, I didn't know what he stepped on, his foot slipped, he fell, he didn't care about the pain, got up and continued to run.
When Jiao's father came back, the man had already run away, and listening to the driver of the car on the right who said what happened just now, Jiao's father smiled at the other party's various questions and didn't say much.
"I see that your cat is good, male and female?" The other party asked.
"Male."
"Hey, that's right, I also have a female cat at home, what about the broken ears, why don't you string it?"
Zheng sighed on his face, skewer your uncle's!
Seeing Zheng Si turn around and get into the car directly, Jiao's father smiled at the man, "My cat is just a native cat." ”
"It's okay, I don't mind." The man waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Jiao's father: "......"
Fortunately, the front was quickly dredged, and the convoy began to move slowly, and Jiao's father got on the car after a few perfunctory words.
Regarding what Zheng Si had just done, Jiao's father didn't say much, but just smiled and gave Zheng Si a thumbs up.
Although the first half of this return trip was more bumpy, there were several traffic jams, but fortunately, it was much smoother after that, because there were many vehicles coming and going, and there was no snow, the temperature rose slightly during the day, and there was no ice on the ground, so the second half of the trip was quite smooth.
As usual, Jiao's father went to the county seat first, had a meal and rested for a while, made a phone call to report his safety, and then continued to his hometown.
There are a few sections of the road in Jiao's hometown that are not very easy to walk, and it is much better after driving slowly, and the old man Jiao is already waiting at the head of the village, because he knows that Jiao's father is driving alone, and he doesn't dare to call all the time to ask, for fear that Jiao's father will be distracted, and he immediately smiled after seeing Jiao's father's car.
For many people, the road home for the New Year is faltering and unforgettable, relatively speaking, Zheng sighs that they are already good. (To be continued......)
