Chapter 7: The Black Driver

A dilapidated Santana pulled up in front of us, and before the driver could open the door for us, he hooked his fingers and drew a number.

"Seven hundred?" Zhao Ziwu's eyes almost squeezed out.

"To go or not to go? If you go, you will pay 500 in advance. ”

Looking at the desolate streets and the gloomy sky, although I knew that the price was already ridiculously expensive, I still gritted my teeth. Because this is already considered exhaustive, if it were not for this, people would not give you this price.

"You guys are making huge profits! When I get back, I'll drive here to do business. ”

Zhao Ziwu paid five hundred yuan with a reluctant face, leaning on the passenger seat and sneering. The driver in his 50s is also very urban, no matter what he says, he doesn't talk and drives on his own.

Hu Shanshan and I glanced at each other, then patted the co-pilot's leaning back and said to Zhao Ziwu: "Manager Zhao, let's give this money!" ”

Zhao Ziwu was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand very freely. "Oh, no, no."

"As it should be!" Hu Shanshan said and pushed me: "Do you have any cash?" I'll turn back and WeChat to you. ”

"Not really." Zhao Ziwu insisted, but when I handed him the five hundred yuan, he grabbed it.

"This ......, hey! Forget it, when I drive you back, I'll try to get you to the place. This is a big New Year's ......, hey! ”

"Thank you so much, Manager Zhao, you can send us to Feishi." I took the opportunity to make the most of the 500 dollars.

"Hey! It's embarrassing, but it's also irritable and panicked! Zhao Ziwu sighed again and again with the money, and finally put it in his wallet.

The driver glanced at Zhao Ziwu, who was loading money beside him, and did not forget to remind: "There are still two hundred when you get out of the car, don't forget to scatter it."

Zhao Ziwu's movements froze, and he said angrily: "Not a penny is indispensable to you." ”

Wang Yuqing straightened the mask on his face and said to Zhao Ziwu: "My dear, otherwise you will give him all the money now!" ”

Hu Shanshan and I were covered with goosebumps when we were called out by this 'dear', and even the driver in his 50s shook his shoulders and subconsciously glanced in the rearview mirror.

Hu Shanshan poked me again, and then I quickly took out another two hundred yuan and handed it over: "It's still ours."

The driver glanced through the rearview mirror and was about to pick it up, but saw Zhao Ziwu press my hand: "Don't worry, it's not too late to give it to him when you get to the place." ”

Seeing that I still wanted to insist, Zhao Ziwu said softly: "Eh, listen to me!" When you reach my age and social status, you will understand that many things are still very likely to be reversed until the last minute. Moreover...... The heart of defense is indispensable! ”

Maybe Zhao Ziwu has his own life experience, after all, he is older than us and came into contact with society earlier than us. It's just that the driver's face couldn't help but look ugly when he heard this, and I seemed to feel that the speed of the car was much faster in a moment.

After a long day, Hu Shanshan fell asleep on my shoulder, and through the mask I could smell the faint fragrance of her hair, and I had the urge to touch it subconsciously. But in the end, I gave up, and I gradually became sleepy by leaning on the chair.

Before we knew it, we fell asleep, but we didn't sleep for long, when suddenly a sudden brake shook us back from our dreams. At this time, I was sleepy and saw a lot of vehicles in front of me, and there were traffic police officers checking them one by one.

"Arrived?" Wang Yuqing sighed and rubbed his eyes and asked.

"It's over! Check the car. The driver muttered, turned back to us, and said, "Go down first and go forward from the side road." I'll be waiting for you in front."

"Is that okay?" Hu Shanshan asked hesitantly.

"It's okay!" The driver patiently explained to us: "It should only be to check drunk driving, completely first, illegal operations to detain the car, not for me for you!" I'll be waiting for you two hundred meters ahead. ”

After hearing this, we could only get out of the car and run, but Hu Shanshan had a rough face and did not move: "I won't go down!" I'll say I'm your girl later. ”

The driver couldn't stop laughing. "It's not a joke, it's really going to be detained!"

I also helped the driver persuade me: "Don't embarrass the family, it's just a few steps away." ”

Hu Shanshan glanced at me resentfully and got out of the car.

I was drowsy in the car, and at this time, I was shivering by the cool breeze, and my brain was awake.

Looking around, there is no longer the prosperity of the city, factories and houses are crowded together, and vegetable gardens and telephone poles grow side by side. Because of the weather, there was a thick night scene in the evening, and the high beams of the cars swept over us.

Wang Yu went straight into Zhao Ziwu's arms coldly, Hu Shanshan and I each snorted hot air into the palms of our hands, looking at the car inspection in front of us, there was an inexplicable panic.

"Doesn't it look like I'm pretending to be his daughter?" Hu Shanshan kicked me with a look of resentment.

"Maybe he doesn't believe that he can give birth to such a beautiful daughter." Watching the opportunity to drive forward, I squeezed out a smile at Hu Shanshan. "But you can pretend to be his daughter-in-law, and I will suffer a little loss, pretending to be his son?"

"Suffering such a big loss, isn't it wronged to you?" Hu Shanshan chirped.

"It doesn't matter if you are wronged, the key is that he shouldn't be able to give birth to a son like me!"

"Hmmm! You really can't give birth, you're much uglier. ”

At this moment, Zhao Ziwu suddenly stopped, "Huh? "Yes. Looking at the cars whizzing by beside him, he was full of suspicion.

"Did he turn around and go back?" Zhao Ziwu asked.

Hu Shanshan and I didn't pay attention, Mo Aiyi shook his head, looked forward, and saw the vehicles being checked crowded together, with red taillights.

Wang Yuqing suddenly jumped up, pointed ahead and was dumbfounded: "Ah! He's really not in front! I knew the van, he was ahead of us. ”

Hu Shanshan and I looked at each other, but when we looked back, it was only pitch black, and there was not even a single headlight.

"He ran away?" I suddenly wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.

Zhao Ziwu was afraid that Wang Yuqing would cry again, so he hugged her shoulders and comforted: "Maybe we were wrong, the car has already passed." Or there is another way, a detour, this kind of old driver is very cunning. ”

I nodded noncommittally: "Well, and there may be other problems with this kind of car, so I don't dare to be checked." ”

"If there's another shortcut, why do you want us all to get off?" In the face of our self-deception, Hu Shanshan couldn't stand it anymore, and kicked me again and complained: "It's all your fault, I said I won't get out of the car." ”

"Yes! There should be one person left, careless! Wang Yuqing said that the tears were about to roll down again, looked around, raised his face and asked Zhao Ziwu: "What should I do!" There is no store in the village before. ”

"It's okay baby" Zhao Ziwu played the role of a warm man to the extreme, holding Wang Yu's thin arm and shaking it. "Let's go over there first, maybe the driver is waiting for us there? We still have two hundred dollars left for him. ”

I quietly glanced at our position, mentally bitter. There are still two-thirds of the way to Xishui, and the reason for keeping a promise for two hundred yuan is too far-fetched.

Hu Shanshan was reluctant to walk anymore, looked down, sniffed with a bitter face, and said, "Lu Xia, if the driver really runs away, I will definitely strangle you with my own hands." ”

Zhao Ziwu gloated and smiled and said, "Da Shanshan, Yuqing and I will help you hold him down." ”

I only feel wronged, how can this be my responsibility?

When we passed by the scene of the car inspection, the traffic police stopped us, swept us above our heads with an infrared thermometer, and asked us where we were going. I thought to myself, why are you a traffic police officer interrogating us walking? But in awe of the uniform, I still cooperated. Later, I found out that they were giving out masks to drivers who didn't have them, so I ran over and asked for a few.

"You're thick-skinned enough," Hu Shanshan said, taking off the mask on her face and putting on a new one.

"Can't you just say something to the reader? Who am I doing here, not for everyone? ”

"I was already praising you!"

"And what am I going to do back to you? I've said that the prize is not so thick? ”
