Early the next morning, Xiong Lei, who had rested for a few days, finally got into his car again and started his online car-hailing business......

At the end of the day, Xiong Lei didn't do a few jobs, which made Xiong Lei feel very unhappy......

Just when he was bored, the prompt on his mobile phone sounded: "Di Di Di ...... 270 meters from you to No. 28 Xinde Road......"

Xiong Lei heard that the distance of this road was relatively far, after all, for online car-hailing drivers, the farther the distance, the more cost-effective, Xiong Lei, who didn't even make enough gas money at the end of the day, quickly pressed the button of "grab the order......

Xiong Lei went to the designated place to pick up his passengers, but no one came, so Xiong Lei dialed the passenger's number......

"Hey, hello, I'm your ride-hailing driver, I've arrived at the designated location, I want to ask when you can arrive?"

On the other end of the phone, a drunken voice from a middle-aged man came: "This is coming!" Hiccup—please wait a minute...... Still...... And a glass of wine! ”

When Xiong Lei heard what the other party said, instead of getting angry, he smiled slightly, because he understood the mentality of people who drank too well, and said, "Okay! ”

In ten minutes, a lean middle-aged man walked towards Xiong Lei's car, his body looked a little unwell, his face was sallow and sallow, a few drops of oil stains fell on his white-looking sports suit, he was carrying a shabby canvas bag, and his gray curly hair was lying on his head in a mess......

As soon as he got into the car, a strong smell of alcohol and choking smoke followed......

Xiong Lei pressed a button on his mobile phone, and the prompt tone said: "Passengers who have received the mobile phone tail number 8768 are now starting to ......"

Xiong Lei asked, "Mr. is at No. 28 Xinde Road, right?" ”

The lean man sighed and nodded as he pulled out a box of cigarettes from the front door from his trouser pocket......

Xiong Lei said: "Lotus! Big brother, are these cigarettes still sold? I thought they were all out of print! ”

The man said in a hoarse voice, a little proudly: "That's because you can't find a place, an old smoker like me, I'm used to smoking this......"

When he spoke, his throat felt like a mouthful of phlegm, which sounded very uncomfortable......

The man took out a lighter, skillfully lit the cigarette, took a puff and said, "Young man, do you do this to make money?" ”

Xiong Lei was stunned by the question, and replied: "It's okay, it's no problem to make a living!" ”

The man stopped talking, just gulping down his cigarette......

When Xiong Lei saw this person's expression, he said, "Big brother! What's wrong with you? What's the trouble? ”

The man sighed again and said, "Hmm...... A penny is hard to beat a hero...... I have my own ideals and pursuits, what's wrong? I didn't support anyone......"

Xiong Lei couldn't help but want to laugh a little when he heard him say this, if this word came out of the mouth of a teenager or twenty years old, it would be understandable, but for a person in his forties and fifties, it is unrealistic to blindly pursue his dreams, because life not only has ideals, but also falls to the root, and the most important thing is life......

Xiong Lei feels that people like him may be a little too unrealistic, and without the support of an economic foundation, ideals are just dreams......

Xiong Lei asked, "Big brother, let me take the liberty of asking, what is your ideal?" ”

The man didn't answer directly, but asked Xiong Lei rhetorically: "Do you believe that there are aliens in the world?" ”

Xiong Lei thought about it, if it was before, he would definitely not believe it, but when he appeared, he could ask God to see ghosts, he felt that anything in the world was possible, and if you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that there isn't......

Xiong Lei nodded and said, "Of course I believe it!" But so what? ”

The man said, "Since you believe it, I'll tell you that I saw flying saucers and aliens when I was six years old, and they told me I wasn't from the earth......"

Xiong Lei said in surprise: "Are you an alien?" ”

"I don't know if I'm an alien or not, but I've been an orphan since I was a child, I don't know where I came from, I don't know when I was born, I had an adoptive father, and then he sold me to someone else......"

"Then your background is really quite bizarre?" Xiong Lei said with a smile......

The man said with some excitement: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm an alien or not, the important thing is that if I can catch an alien and send him to the research institute, I'll be developed!" ”

"Huh?" Xiong Lei looked at the man in front of him dumbfounded, and said, "You want to catch aliens?" ”

The man said, "Didn't you just say that you believe in aliens?" Why are you so surprised now, I saw them when I was a child, and when I see them again, I will definitely catch them...... So all these years, I haven't worked, and I've been concentrating on catching aliens! ”

Next, the lean man told Xiong Lei about his plan to "capture aliens", and Xiong Lei only thought that all this person said was the nonsense of a madman......

Xiong Lei knows that there may really be aliens in this world, but can this person's ideal really be realized?

After the man finished talking about the "plan to catch aliens", he sighed again and said, "Actually, I still have a professional ......"

Xiong Lei asked, "Didn't you say you didn't have a job?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm a painter, but because I don't have any money, my paintings can't be promoted, so I want to make money, and when I have enough money, I can concentrate on painting......"

Xiong Lei said: "Then you are busy catching aliens every day, do you have time to paint?" ”

The man said in an impassioned tone, "I don't have any money!" How to draw! I'll be rich if I find an alien! I'll be able to draw! ”

Xiong Lei saw it this time, he was a madman, a complete madman!

Xiong Lei didn't plan to pay attention to him anymore, he just wanted to send him to the place immediately, so that he didn't have to listen to his nonsense......

The man opened the ragged canvas bag he was carrying, took out a thick stack of paper from it, and said to Xiong Lei: "Look, these are all drawn by me before!" ”

Xiong Lei glanced at it casually and responded with a "hmm......

The man carefully put the painting away and said, "Actually, I don't have to catch aliens, I don't have any money!" I love to draw...... I can't give it up......"

Xiong Lei said: "There are many jobs that can make money, you can find a job, and when you have money, you can continue to paint?" ”

The man sneered and said, "I can earn a lot of money by working part-time, and the people from the research institute told me that if I catch an alien, you can give me 10 million!" Ten million? ”
