Chapter 19 The Pain of Life
It was not early, and after a day of driving, the fat man couldn't stand it, so he simply drove the car into the service area, ordered two large bowls of ramen, and ate sweaty.
Looking at the ramen in front of me, I didn't have any appetite at all, or I wasn't in the mood to eat at all.
How could that old lady go and come back, didn't Purple Hitomi tell me that she had already driven the old lady away?
As if sensing my abnormality, the fat man wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead indiscriminately, and said indifferently:
"Look at your little bit of interest, and this little thing scares you like this? Didn't I tell you, as long as your brother Hu is here, don't talk about the dead old lady, just a few more, and Lao Tzu will still clean them up. ”
I smiled wryly and nodded, symbolically complimenting the fat man a few words, but I didn't know the bottom of my heart at all.
I don't know how many brushes the fat man has under his hands, but I know how powerful that old lady is, she can scratch through such a thick wooden door, if you want to kill me, you can't play like playing?
After thinking about it, I still feel the need to ask Zitong, according to Zitong, the old lady has been driven away by her, and now the other party is back, is it possible, is the old lady no longer afraid of Zitong?
I couldn't resist the fat man's insistence, and after a few bites of noodles symbolically, I followed him back to the car with the fat man's sigh.
Maybe I was tired from driving during the day, and the fat man was on the bed, and after a while, there was a burst of snoring, and I was in trouble:
I can't sleep at night, but if I want to find Zitong, the only way is to dream to meet her, but the fat man is already very tired, even if I have a thick skin, I can't let him stay up late to watch the car after driving, right?
Besides, I don't want to tell the fat man about the purple pupil, after all, I don't know if the fat man is friend or foe.
In the end, I had no choice but to jump out of the car, walk to a place with few people, and call my grandfather.
It is estimated that the grandfather has already fallen asleep, and the phone was answered after a long time.
"Hey, who's that?" I still have that kind of corded phone installed in my house, so my grandfather didn't know that I was calling.
"Grandpa, it's me, Xiaolong."
"You little rabbit, you still know how to call me? After walking for so many days, I didn't call my grandfather. ”
"How is it in the factory, are you full? Is the driver good to you? Has anyone bullied you? Did Zhang Yao look for you? ”
When he heard that it was me, my grandfather was very happy and immediately asked me like a cannon.
Although I haven't been away from home for a few days, but for me, I heard my grandfather's voice again, for some reason, my original impetuous mood turned out to be much calmer, perhaps, I subconsciously regarded my grandfather as a protective umbrella, as long as there is a place for grandpa, I will not be afraid.
First, I answered Grandpa's questions one by one, and when Grandpa's side was a little silent, I changed the conversation and asked:
"Grandpa, just ...... I encountered something just now, I want you to put incense on the purple pupil and help me ask her. ”
"What's the matter?" It seemed to sense that my voice was wrong, and it involved purple pupils, and grandpa's tone was a lot more serious.
I didn't hide it, and told my grandfather about the old lady I had just met, especially the old lady's sudden smile in the picture, and I told my grandfather emphatically.
Grandpa didn't answer for a long time, and just when I wondered if there was a problem with the line, I heard a deep sigh from my grandfather's side.
"Got it, I'll go and ask my daughter-in-law right away, Xiaolong, no matter what happens, you must keep a cool head, once you panic, things will only develop in a situation that is not favorable to you, understand?"
After telling me a few words, my grandfather hung up the phone.
I sighed and went back to the car, my heart was already in a mess, and I wondered why all this bizarre thing happened to me. Is it difficult, just because I am weak, I can't be bullied?
All night, I sat in the co-pilot's seat, thinking about the recent events, until about 3 o'clock in the morning, when I gradually became a little confused, and the upper and lower eyelids began to fight.
Dangdang!
Suddenly, just as I was about to fall asleep, there was a bang on the car window.
In the quiet service area, it was very frightening to be knocked on the car window suddenly, almost subconsciously, I shivered, and quickly looked out the window:
At some point, there were already seven or eight uniformed security guards with batons in their hands standing outside the window, and a group of people were talking about something, and the one who knocked on the window just now was one of them.
It's so late, these security guards don't go on patrol, why are they coming here?
Confused, I fell out of the car, and before I could ask, the security guard who knocked on my car window just now came up and asked me if I was from this car?
I said it's not nonsense, it's not the people in this car, what am I doing in the car?
The security guard nodded and pointed towards the dragon tank, "Your gas was stolen by the gas guzzler." ”
Oil stolen? My head is buzzing, this is the fuel tank that was just filled up when I entered the service area, more than 3,000 yuan.
I quickly turned around and glanced at the tank: the lock on the tank had been knocked open, the lid had been thrown on the ground, and the mouth of the tank was bare and exposed to the air, revealing the black hole inside the tank.
Diesel was stolen, this is not a trivial matter, generally encountered this kind of thing, are the driver of their own advance, the factory does not care.
I'm a lathe worker, and it's my job to look at the car, but I haven't earned a penny yet, so I have to lose money first? Moreover, even if I have to pay, I can't afford to pay it, and now I have only 5 yuan even counting the steel hammer all over my body.
I was completely panicked, subconsciously opened the car door, and shouted to the sleeping fat man:
"Brother Hu, wake up, the oil has been stolen!"
Hiss~
Almost as soon as I shouted these words, I immediately realized that I was wrong, but it was too late to stop thinking about it!
Night Charm once told me three taboos, one of which was to never wake up a sleeping fat man, but after only one day out of the car, I committed a taboo.
At that moment, my heart was pinched, and I could only pray silently in my heart, praying that the fat man would never wake up.
"Oil stolen? What do you kid eat? To my despair, the fat man soon heard from inside the car, and at the same time, the shirtless fat man in a big pants pushed the car door and jumped out.
First looked at the damaged fuel tank cap, then pouted his ass and looked into the fuel tank, the fat man sighed, turned around and glanced at me angrily:
"I said, big brother, how did you follow the car, you can't watch the oil? You said to yourself, what else can you do, are you asleep? ”
I wanted to explain, but I couldn't say it, I knew in my heart that this kind of thing was useless no matter how I explained it, and it was a fact that the oil was stolen.
I lowered my head, embarrassed to look at the fat man's eyes, and could only whisper: "Brother Hu, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to make up for the oil money." ”
"Nonsense, if you don't come out, will it be possible for me to come out? Is Lao Tzu out of the number? The fat man gave me a blank look, climbed back into the car, and slammed the door shut.
"Master, otherwise, if you go to the monitoring room with us to have a look, maybe you can see the video at that time?"
I shook my head and said no, even if I saw it, what would I do? People have long since run away.
Several security guards looked at each other, didn't say anything, said hello to me, and dispersed, leaving me standing in front of the car in a daze.
At this moment, I can't wait to give myself a slap in the face, the night ghost has already reminded me, but I still committed a taboo against it.
I don't know what it means to wake up the fat man, but I have a feeling in my heart that something bad must happen!
Sitting down against the tire, I was distraught and pulled out a cigarette, just about to light it.
Oops!
At that moment, my heart suddenly struck, and it felt like a needle prick, burning with fire.
I suddenly remembered what Old Man Tan told me: Once my heart hurts, it means that my limit is approaching, and what I need to do is to hide in a place where there is no light immediately, so as to avoid this catastrophe.
Looking around, the entire service area was illuminated by the searchlight on the high place as if it were daylight, let alone find a place without light, even if you wanted to find a place with a darker light.
The pain in my heart was getting worse and worse, almost to the point where I couldn't bear it, and in just a few seconds, my head was covered with beads of sweat, and I knew that if I didn't hide, I would lose my life.
Since the service area is not good, I can only choose to leave here temporarily, I endured the severe pain and held the tires behind me, reluctantly stood up, and looked into the distance: the wilderness outside the service area is pitch black, isn't it a good place for me to hide?
Immediately, I couldn't care about anything else, and ran desperately towards the outside of the service area, and at the same time, the sharp pain that broke my heart and lungs hit again, and I was almost unable to hold on several times, but when I thought of my grandfather and my purple pupils, I still gritted my teeth, and finally at the last moment, I planted myself on the highway.
Yes!
Almost the moment I fell off the highway, my heart felt like it had been pierced by a knife, and there was a sharp pain that hurt my heart, and I couldn't hold back it anymore and screamed.
How is this possible? Didn't Old Tan Tou say that as long as you hide in the shadows, you can save your life? Why is the pain getting worse?
I have no doubt that I will not be able to hold on like this, and that sharp pain like a knife will definitely kill me.
"Hey, his grandmother's, I've been looking for you for a long time, dare to hide here?"
Suddenly, just as I was in the throes of torture, the voice of a fat man suddenly came from above.
Immediately after, I saw the fat man leap off the railing and jump beside me.
At night, the fat man's face looked a little hideous, even terrifying.
Watching him walk towards me step by step, I used my last strength and said weakly:
"You...... Are you here to kill me? ”
