Chapter 43: People?
86_86324 "Look at the people, as soon as they change their clothes, they are a lot more handsome. Duan Ke looked at Zhou Zhihong and exclaimed.
Zhou Zhihong heard the girl's praise, shyly lifted his glasses and did not answer. I saw him change into a sportswear, and this youthful and energetic outfit was put on him, which made him look a lot more immature.
"Why don't you go for a change too?" Duan Ke tilted his head and said to me.
"No, I'm used to it." I refused, I just wanted to get out of the mall as quickly as possible and never come back.
"I've brought you clothes back." Zhou Zhihong pointed to a pile of paper pockets on the ground, "A few down jackets, let's wear them in winter." ”
Down jacket, this is very real, if it gets cold on this day, there is no heating, you can only wrap more clothes on your body to keep out the cold. So we each took a bag of down jackets, walked through the roller shutter door, and headed back. As I passed by the checkout counter, I walked by a few boxes of Yida, and I hadn't chewed gum for a long time, so I thought I would use this to add some sugar to myself. But when I walked out of the supermarket, I found that it was sugar-free.
Walking back to the supermarket, we began to carry the supplies in the shopping cart. Duan Ke helped us carry the down jacket and walked at the end. The four of us carried a corner of the shopping cart and prepared to take the car to the Chang'an car. When passing by the tobacco and alcohol stall at the entrance, Wu Linyu glanced inside, and then hurriedly said stop. Thinking he had found something, we hurriedly got out of the car and looked at him.
Wu Linyu put down the shopping cart and trotted around into the tobacco and alcohol counter. He cautiously pushed open the glass case, then grabbed a couple of metal lighters inside.
"Senior, this is also a good thing, but you forgot to take it." Wu Linyu smiled and said to Uncle Wang, "Well, just right, there are just three more." ”
Uncle Wang looked at the lighter of Wu Linyu's mobile phone, without any expression, maybe he was not interested in this thing.
"Zippo lighter." Zhou Zhihong said.
"Well, my girlfriend gave me one before, but it was borrowed by the class leader." Wu Linyu said, and then took out a lighter from the package, and the lid of the lighter opened and closed, making a crisp sound. I haven't used this kind of lighter, and I haven't seen a few people use it in real life, but I often see it in foreign movies.
"Which one do you want?" Wu Linyu saw that I was attracted by this voice and asked me.
"Take it with you, and then we'll talk about it when we get back." I said, and then took the lead in lifting the cart.
"Okay." Wu Linyu said, and then smiled and pulled the remaining two lighters out of the package and stuffed them into his pocket.
Before leaving, Wu Linyu looked at the counter again, and then took away another bottle of engine oil.
The four of them carried the shopping cart, walked out of the supermarket, and walked back down the stairs of the flyover. Pulling open the back door of the Chang'an car, Zhou Zhihong took off the bag and got into the car. Then we handed him the supplies in his shopping cart outside, and he took the cans and bags of instant noodles like a brick movers on a construction site and put them in the back seat of the car.
After a while, the cart was empty. Duan Ke handed him five sets of down jackets, and several sets of down jackets were piled up on the back seat, and there was almost no space for Zhou Zhihong to sit. I pushed my cart to the side of the road, ready to get in and leave. I'm sorry, cart bro, I'm going to let you endure the sun and rain here, I said to the cart in my heart.
I had just taken a few steps back when I heard the sound of a car moving on the road. No, I thought to myself, everyone is standing on the street, and the Chang'an car has not started, where is the sound?
Before I could think about it any more, in front of the Chang'an car, that is, on my left, I saw a truck driving towards us. I thought I was blinded, and immediately compared the car with the things around me to confirm that the car was really moving. The truck drove up in front of us a few seconds later, and I saw that there was only one person in the driver's seat. When the driver saw us, he frowned and honked his horn several times.
The shrill horn startled my mind, and I turned my head to look at Uncle Wang and them. Zhou Zhihong was attracted by the sound of the horn and poked his head out of the Chang'an car. Several people looked at the van and did not react. Seeing that we didn't move, the driver opened the door, jumped out of the driver's seat, and asked us expressionlessly, "People?" ”
What a strange question, I thought to myself. After a few seconds, we all nodded at him.
"It's still alive." He asked himself, a flash of excitement on his face. There was a bit of a dialect in his words, but I could still understand it.
The driver looked like he was in his forties, and there was nothing special about him except for the stubble on his face. But the few wrinkles on his face and his jet-black hair told me that he should be younger than he looked, and you know, a full beard always makes people look old.
He was dressed in a clean casual suit, and he couldn't tell what he was doing. His face was fine and it looked like he was doing well.
At this time, I smelled a strong rancid smell wafting out of his van, and I didn't know what was in the container. That truck was an ordinary Dongfeng truck. This kind of truck will be used to transport cement and river sand, and it can be seen everywhere in life.
The driver walked straight up to us, touching something on his body as he went. These movements were watched by Uncle Wang, and I saw him take a few steps back, put his hand behind his back, and hold the gun on his back.
When the driver was still four or five paces away from us, he finally found what he was looking for in his pocket. It turned out to be a pack of cigarettes. He patted the cigarette case in his hand, then took out a few and handed them to Wu Linyu.
"Come, brother, smoke a cigarette." The driver greeted him with a smile and said to Wu Linyu.
Wu Linyu hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand to take the cigarette, looked at the driver and said, "Thank you." ”
"Look at you, is it a rescue team sent by the army?" The driver asked.
Wu Linyu shook his head and said, "No, I used to be a soldier. ”
"I'll just say, how can there be a rescue team." He heard Wu Linyu's answer and muttered to himself.
He gave out a cigarette to Uncle Wang, who withdrew the hand holding the gun on his back and took the cigarette from the driver. Zhou Zhihong waved his hand and refused the cigarette, and the driver walked towards me.
"Little brother, are you smoking?" He asked me.
"Ah, I still have a gun." The driver saw the gun I had on my shoulder and asked. However, he was not too surprised to see the gun, and asked me with a slight smile. Could it be that he laughed because he thought I was young and had an imitation gun on my back?
I nodded, didn't answer the question about the gun, and politely said thank you after taking the cigarette. I looked into his eyes, and although they weren't full of kindness, I could at least see that this man was normal and not too bad.
The driver didn't ask any more questions about the gun, he held up the lighter to his mouth, blocked the wind with one hand, pressed the lighter with the other, and lit the cigarette.
"You're from outside?" He asked, "I haven't seen you." ”
"Hmm." I replied, "Just arrived." ”
He looked at the shopping cart next to me, then at the supermarket entrance on the flyover, and asked, "Did you go to this supermarket?" ”
"yes, there's a mall in there." Zhou Zhihong squeezed his head out and replied.
The driver lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, then looked around affectionately and nervously, and said, "Then you come with me first, and it won't be good if someone comes later." ”
"Someone's coming?" Wu Linyu asked.
"Well, let's go first." The driver said, and walked to the van.
"Where to go?" I asked.
"As long as you don't stay here." He said as he opened the door.
We looked at Uncle Wang to see how he decided.
"Let's walk with him for a while." Uncle Wang also looked around and said, and then walked towards the driver's seat of the Chang'an car.
"Who will come, is it because we didn't pay for the supermarket, and the police came to arrest us?" After the car started, Zhou Zhihong squatted in the back seat and said.
The Chang'an car turned around on the road, then let the truck walk in front of us, and then followed.
"Who knows, you see so many cameras around here." Wu Linyu looked out the window and joked.
"I think he means there are other people in the city." I chimed in.
"Well, maybe the other people in that pile happen to be the police, or the security guards in the supermarket." Zhou Zhihong said.
"Who knows." I replied.
We followed the truck in front of us and turned left and right around the city, not knowing where the driver was going to take us. The truck kept emitting rancid stench backwards, and we had to close all the windows. I wonder if the truck is full of dead people.
After ten minutes of driving with the truck, the driver still had no intention of stopping.
"You say, could this be a trap?" Wu Linyu looked at the truck in front of him and said.
"Don't say it, it's really possible." Zhou Zhihong immediately panicked and said, "When you smell this, it's all the smell of dead people, and it's all coming from his car." ”
"I've figured it out, and it's possible that this guy drives around every day, and when he sees a living person, he makes up stories to scare people, and then takes them back to their lair, kills them, and puts them in a truck." Zhou Zhihong continued to guess.
"." Wu Linyu said with a disdainful smile.
Hearing his conjecture, I laughed too, and then said, "Why did you kill us, why did you kill us, and put us in a truck?" ”
Zhou Zhihong snorted and retorted: "Don't believe it, I've seen it on Weibo before, some people are born with this quirk of liking to kill people and hide corpses." ”
"That's too perverted, isn't it?" Duan Ke said with some disbelief.
"Wait and see." Zhou Zhihong deliberately said to Duan Ke in a very mysterious tone.
Uncle Wang saw that the truck was delayed, so he looked at the dashboard and said, "Follow him for another three kilometers." ”
Listening to Zhou Zhihong's words, I was really a little apprehensive about following the road behind the truck. In case of misfortune, the driver took us to their lair, and a dozen people rushed out, hacked us to death, and then threw them into the cargo box of the truck.
But if you think about it this way, there is no benefit in doing so, and it is not only not easy to kill a few people, but it is also quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides, we have guns on us, and if someone really rushes out with a knife later, we can stay in the car with a gun raised, and we can also crack Zhou Zhihong's hypothesis.
A few minutes later, the car in front of it lit up its red taillights, and the van pulled to the side of the road with a deflated braking sound. I looked out of the car, and we were on the road by the river
