Chapter 853: Taxi Driver (I)
(a)
Every year on your birthday and the day of your death, for me, it's like a year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But this kind of life is like a year, and it can't be said to anyone.
One year, on your birthday, I was in a particularly low mood.
After work, I really didn't want to go back to that empty apartment, but I didn't want to be with anyone either. So, I called a taxi on the phone and started going around the city again and again.
I just want to keep moving, I don't want to go anywhere.
I longed to leave without stopping, leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving. Just leave, there is no home.
Along the way, the CD player played old music we had listened to together. I listened to it play over and over again, watching the raindrops keep sliding down the windshield. One by one, the street lamps disappeared behind him.
"Have you figured out where you're going?" The tall taxi driver asked.
I said, "No." You drive along the brightly lit place. ”
I said, "And so it goes over and over again." ”
The taxi driver looked at me and said, "I've encountered passengers like you before." ”
Then, we talked.
That music stayed with me as we talked. The raindrops outside the window also accompanied me.

The taxi driver said, "I also took such a female passenger half a year ago. ”
"There's also no place she really wants to go," he said. She just wanted to go for a ride. She pulled out a stack of money and handed it to me. She said, you can drive it casually and spend all the money. ”
"She's really risky to do that," he said. It may lead others to think of killing people for money. She hadn't taken a taxi much. Luckily, she met me. I took the money, persuaded her not to do it in the future, told her about the dangers of doing so, and then I took her the route you are taking now. ”
He said, "Actually, I understand you very well. Other drivers may think you're acting strangely, but I can understand why you're doing it. ”
He said: "Sometimes people need to go for a ride like this when they think about things. Speed can sometimes solve a lot of problems. ”
"When you run faster than your worries, it's left behind," he said. ”
"That's why I'm renting now," he said. I just like to live in speed forever. ”

The taxi driver said, "Actually, I didn't do this in the first place. I had to go downhill to get into this business. ”
He said: "The world is so cruel that I can't live as a man. ”
"I used to come from a rural background," he said. I was a soldier in Gansu for 8 years. Life is hard. After demobilization, I found a lot of connections and ended up in the court system. ”
He said: "At that time, I could get 300 yuan a month, which was a good income. I'm single, so I don't have any worries, so I spend all my money on recreation. I play late every night, so I can't get my spirits up at work. Later, one day, the leader of the court finally said to me, "You are so tired and difficult during the day that you can't adapt to the work of the court." He asked me to make a choice, and he said either you would be refreshed during the day, or you would find another job. ”
"I was young," he said, "and I couldn't stand the slightest restriction or humiliation. So I left without hesitation, I didn't even leave my job without pay, I just patted my ass and left. ”
He said: "When I left, my entire property was only 10,000 yuan, so I used it all to open a dance hall. I found a renovation company to help me decorate, and they told me that 50,000 yuan could be done well. As a result, as soon as I finished the checkout, I was asked for 150,006. ”
"I owe a lot of money, so I have to go to the bank for a loan."
"I earned 420,000 yuan in the first year, paid off all kinds of debts, paid various expenses, and saved 200,000 yuan in the bank."
"That winter, I invited the leaders of the original court to dinner. After he finished eating, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "I can't see, young man, you're not bad." ”
"Then I opened another restaurant, I opened a café, and I opened a restaurant in another town. I grew up like this until I lost everything in Vietnam. ”
"When I became more developed, a friend from the army came to me. He said that you are too slow to make money like this, and told you a quick way. Since then, I have followed him into smuggling, and I have sold all my serious property to others. ”
"Smuggling is so lucrative that I became a multimillionaire in the blink of an eye," he said. In the year of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, all aspects of the investigation were very tight. I got stuck on the road five times during a shipment. I escaped the first four times, but was caught the last time. With that amount, I lost 10 million. ”
"I was caught, interrogated, but I didn't say anything. I carried everything by myself, and I didn't betray a friend. Then I became a criminal offender. ”
With that, he looked back in the rearview mirror.
He said, "Don't be nervous. I'm no longer a criminal now, and I don't want to go back to prison. I'm just seeing that you're in a bad mood and telling you my story. Perhaps, what I have experienced before, you have never experienced yet. ”
"I spent my youth in prison," he said. At this time, I knew that I had a very good wife. ”
"My wife met me when I was in the ballroom. She wasn't pretty, but she was gentle. When she married me, she only said one sentence: I don't want you to do anything else, I just want you to be able to guard me. ”
"When I was in prison, she was out there watching over me all the time. She had many opportunities to leave me, but she was always there for me. ”
"The day I came home from prison, she went to pick me up from prison. When I returned, I slept for twelve days. I was in a terrible mood. I can't accept that I went from being a multimillionaire to a pauper all at once. I also can't accept that I have suddenly changed from a young Lisheng to a middle-aged bald. I really wanted to kill myself, and I wanted to kill someone else. ”
"At this time, it was my wife who saved me. My wife stayed by my side every day and enlightened me repeatedly. She said what does it matter if you lose your money, what does it matter if you lose your youth, you are still here. She said that the man I love, you are still here, you are still able-bodied, you are still clear-headed, you are still disease-free and pain-free. She said, so our happiness is still here, and she said that our happiness is actually not lost. ”
She said, I will always be with you through thick and thin. She said, you are the most important thing in my life, and I don't care what the world labels you. ”
"She makes something to eat for me every day. She watched me eat them every day. She said, I don't care about anything, I just have to watch you eat them all. Because you just have to eat them, you can live, she said. She said, as long as you are alive, my heart is satisfied. ”
"That's how my wife saved me."
He said: "Later, those friends who were not betrayed by me heard that I had come out, so they gave me 200,000 yuan to settle in. I used the 200,000 yuan to buy this taxi, went through the formalities, and became a taxi driver. ”
"I drove this car around the city every day, and gradually I lost all my past troubles. So I understand you very well. ”
He said, "You can go around like this, slowly, and you can also leave all your troubles behind." ”
