Near the rice noodle stall, there is a dog meat shop, the dirty iron cage is stuffed with dirty dogs, the mouths are tied with wires, and the passers-by are pitifully watched, on the shelf, there is a skinned dog body, the sewage on the ground is cross-flowing, the shop is overcrowded, and the big signboard is marked with the words "live dogs are killed".
"It's so cruel, no one cares." Ma Ling turned away from the dog in the cage.
"In this world, people can't live anymore, who has the air to control the dog." Liu Handong lowered his head and ate rice noodles.
After eating, Liu Handong settled the bill, and his mother gave him 300 yuan to pay for the food in the detention center, and there were only a few dozen yuan left on his body, and two bowls of rice noodles and beef cost a total of 25 yuan, and there were only two or three change notes and coins left in his pocket.
Ma Ling put on his helmet and stepped on the motorcycle: "I should go, shake hands." ”
Liu Handong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ma Ling.
Ma Ling started the motorcycle and walked away, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells: "Save for dinner, don't starve you to death." ”
In Liu Handong's palm was a fifty yuan bill folded into small squares, with Ma Ling's body temperature.
In addition to her mother, Ma Ling was the first woman to give herself money to spend.
Back at No. 1O8, just as he was going upstairs, Zhu Xiaoqiang suddenly came out, and said mysteriously: "Brother Dong, you are back, I will tell you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Xiaoqiang looked around and said in a low voice: "The residents on the third floor are **." ”
Liu Handong said: "What? ”
"I brought the man back last night, and I tossed it in the middle of the night, so I didn't sleep well." Zhu Xiaoqiang said.
"Oh, don't you play games at night and don't sleep?" Liu Handong continued to walk up.
"You don't know, that voice makes people unable to sleep, don't mention humming and chirping......" Zhu Xiaoqiang's expression was very exaggerated, and he looked in pain.
"Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to sue the landlord and kick them out? Liu Handong asked.
"I didn't mean that, Brother Dong, you have a good relationship with them, can you let them be quieter next time."
"I don't have anything to do with them." Liu Handong hurriedly cleared up, if Ma Ling heard this, he couldn't say it clearly.
Zhu Xiaoqiangqi said: "Then they have inquired about you several times and asked where you have been, by the way, Brother Dong, why haven't you come to live in the past half a month?" ”
Liu Handong said: "I was detained by the Public Security Bureau. Then Zhu Xiaoqiang, who left his mouth wide open, went upstairs.
Sitting on the bed board, Liu Handong took out a few poor banknotes on his body and counted them, a total of fifty-eight yuan and four cents, eating is a problem, the top priority at the moment is to find a job, he can repair cars and drive, buy a newspaper and read the recruitment information should help.
Walking downstairs, I suddenly noticed that Wang Zhigang's disabled car was parked in the yard, the front windshield was broken, the fuel tank was deflated, and the tires were crooked.
I was about to ask the charter wife to inquire, Sister Zhang came in with a bitter face with a lunch box, and saw Liu Handong as if she had met a relative, chattering and complaining about her bitterness, it turned out that Wang Zhigang was drinking and driving a few days ago and hit a tree, the car was destroyed and injured, and now she is lying in the hospital, and the hospitalization fee alone is tens of thousands, and it also drags Sister Zhang to deliver food every day to take care of her, and the business has not been done, and the child has been sent back to the countryside.
"How are you going to spend this day?" Sister Zhang burst into tears.
Liu Handong had an idea: "Eldest sister, the car is destroyed anyway, why don't I help you repair it, if it is repaired, I will help my eldest brother run the business, the money will be divided, and the oil money will be mine." ”
Sister Zhang's eyes lit up, and she slapped her face and said, "Big brother, medium!" ”
Liu Handong pushed the damaged disabled car to the car repair shop at the south end of Iron Slag Street, there is a dilapidated house, the door is piled up with pumps, water basins, welding machines, waste batteries, etc., a stout man is squatting next to the upside-down bicycle, grinding the inner tube with a frustration knife, holding a red plum in his mouth, the cigarette ash does not fall, and there are two words written on a wooden board: car repair.
"Master, can the remnants be repaired?" Liu Handong asked.
The man raised his head and squinted, and said, "Push inside, don't care what kind of motorcycle, electric car, or bicycle, as long as it's not four-wheeled, I can fix it." ”
It is said to be a disabled car, but it is actually a modified Qianjiang 125 motorcycle, which has changed the two-wheeled motorcycle to a three-wheeled motorcycle and added a compartment that can shelter from the wind and rain.
Liu Handong pushed the car to the door, took out a red plum and put one on Chen Bachi, and said, "Master Chen, you have a lot of tools here." ”
Chen Bachi put the cigarette to his ear and said disdainfully: "You don't want to visit, is there a second car repair shop on this street, I can't do it, I have changed careers." ”
Liu Handong said: "Master Chen, I'm a little tight on hand, I'm anxious to fix the car and run the business, you see if this is done, I won't work for you, I will borrow your tools to repair it myself, and I will pay you back when I make money." ”
Chen Bachi stopped what he was doing, looked at Liu Handong suspiciously, then looked at the car, and said, "Isn't this Wang Cripple's car?" ”
Liu Handong said: "Yes, I am his neighbor, and I will run for him for two days." ”
Chen Bachi said: "It's all on the same street, it's okay to talk about money, and you can use the tools as you like." ”
Liu Handong was overjoyed, and immediately began to repair this three-wheeled motorcycle, as soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was any, Chen Bachi watched him methodically correct the wheel spokes, and couldn't help but praise: "Man, the craftsmanship is good." ”
"Generally, Master Chen, electric welding is borrowed."
"Okay, you can weld too."
"Fooling around."
In one afternoon, Liu Handong got the three-wheeled motorcycle a new look, the engine parts were disassembled and cleaned, the filter element and engine oil were replaced, the tires were fully inflated, the spokes were polished with cotton yarn, and even the damage on the seats was glued with all-purpose glue.
"Thank you, Master Chen." Liu Handong stepped on a motorcycle and began his crippled brother career at sunset.
"Slow down." Chen Bachi waved goodbye with a cigarette in his mouth, "I have time to play." ”
Liu Handong's luck was good, he didn't even drive fifty meters before he encountered business, and a person hurried out of the roadside hardware processing factory, his face was pale, holding his right hand, and the blood was still dripping down.
"Master, go to the army hospital, quickly." The man stopped the remnant and climbed into the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Liu Handong asked.
"The finger is sawed off, the master bothered you to hurry up." The man's voice was deep.
"Sit tight!" Liu Handong twisted the accelerator, and the three-wheeled motorcycle rushed out with a bang.
The military hospital is located on the other side of Yunshan, the amputated limb replantation is among the best in the province, it is really the time to get off work, the road is extremely congested, the most convenient way is to take the winding mountain road, the winding mountain road with nine bends and eighteen bends can only accommodate two cars side by side, or the highway built by Chen Zikun during the Kuomintang period, which is now in a semi-abandoned state.
……
At the foot of Yunshan Mountain, at the starting point of the winding mountain road, more than ten motorcycles are gathering, the engines roar one after another, the riders are wearing brightly colored professional racing suits, wearing fully enclosed helmets, this is an informal race, the vehicles are complicated, there are off-road cars, there are road cars and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the displacement is from 125 to 18oo, and the largest displacement is even larger than the average sedan.
A girl in a suspender stood on the side of the road with a white handkerchief, she was the commander, and when the white handkerchief was waved, the chariots would roar out, and the racers straddled their cars, covered their masks one by one, looked at each other, and then fixed their eyes on the white handkerchief.
Suddenly, a piercing motor roar came, and everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see a three-wheeled whizz flying in front of their eyes, and they could also see a small advertisement for the treatment of vitiligo and impotence and premature ejaculation posted on the carriage.
Everyone was dumbfounded, at this time the white handkerchief fell, everyone hurriedly started the motorcycle, and more than ten cars followed the remnants in hot pursuit.
The reason why Yunshan Panshan Road was selected as the track by the racing club is because it is too difficult, not only the road has nine bends and eighteen bends, but also is in disrepair, not as flat as ordinary roads, and now it is more than six o'clock when the sky is dark and not dark and bright, and the worst time period of vision, under such conditions, it is not the performance and displacement of the vehicle that is emphasized, but the skill and experience of the driver, and of course, the most important thing is guts.
The trees on the mountain are luxuriant, the reflection is projected on the road, the wind blows the leaves rustling, it should be a quiet forest beauty, but it is broken by a dozen speeding large-displacement motorcycles, the riders tried their best, but they couldn't catch up with the remnant in front.
If it is on a flat and straight road, these large displacements can be pushed up with a twist of the throttle, but the sharp turning angle of Yunshan Panshan Road is very tricky, and the slightest carelessness will fall off the valley and the car will be destroyed, these drivers are just amateurs, looking for excitement, not playing with life, so every turn has to slow down, and the ghost-like remnant in front, the corner is not only not reduced, but also plus, a rear wheel is suspended and drives over, and it does not overturn!
The winding mountain road is not long, the total length is only five kilometers, when the motorcycles drive to the end, the remnant of the car has long been gone, there is only the blood-red remnant sun in the sky, everyone takes off their helmets, looks at each other, and their eyes are full of incomprehension and anger.
This is not scientific!
Because of the vulgar rural redness of this mysterious car, it was named "Chariot of Fire" by the club riders. Every evening after that, they waited here for the Chariot of Fire to appear, but they never waited.
Liu Handong sent the wounded with a severed finger to the army hospital in the fastest time, and was busy helping to register and pay the fee, but forgot to ask for the car money, until the wounded were pushed into the operating room, he drove a three-wheeled motorcycle and left, and by the way, he pulled another job.
Speaking of this business, Liu Handong saw a black BMW 76o parked on the side of the road, and the person dressed as the driver actually put a tattered bicycle into the trunk, and the well-dressed boss personally opened the car door and sent a white-headed old man dressed shabby into the car, and then beckoned to stop Liu Handong's remnant.
"Shang Feng Shang Shui." The boss said, Liu Handong glanced at it, this middle-aged man has structured trousers, shiny leather shoes, and an indescribable sense of intimacy on his body.
"Master, is the job easy to do?" The middle-aged man sat in the carriage and accosted him.
"I opened this on the first day, and I haven't opened it yet." Liu Handong said.
"Hehe, then I'm pretty lucky today." The middle-aged man said, "This road is repaired all day long, taxis are reluctant to run, you drive motorcycles, often come here to go around, business should be good." ”
"Thank you." Liu Handong said, he was not in a hurry at this time, he drove unhurriedly, and sent the middle-aged man to the gate of the Shangfeng Shangshui Villa Area in Hot Spring Town.
There was still a long way to go from the gate, and the gate guard rushed out and shouted, "The remnants are not allowed to enter." After seeing the passengers, he suddenly became respectful: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He said to Liu Handong again: "Go in." ”
"It's not far, I'll take two steps." The middle-aged passenger got out of the car and dug into his pocket: "I'm sorry, my wallet was left in the car." ”
"It's okay, I'll give it next time." Liu Handong knew that the other party would not deliberately accuse himself of the travel fee, nodded and left on a motorcycle.
The night breeze was blowing, Liu Handong was a little depressed, he was busy all night, and he didn't earn a penny and posted a lot of gasoline money.
Some internal urgency, he stopped the car and walked down the roadbed, unbuttoned his pants and prepared to release the water, suddenly noticed a pair of eyes staring at him, quickly lifted his pants and walked over the grass, there was a big dog lying in the grass, the hair was dirty, the wire on his mouth was strangled into the flesh, and there were many bloody wounds on his body, obviously he couldn't walk, the big dog looked up at Liu Handong, his eyes were full of begging.
