Whew—

With the flashing lights in the left rearview mirror and the wind pressure caused by the overtaking of the vehicle on the left later, a small van is driving smoothly in the middle lane on a highway outside the suburbs.

"On the highway, I have become old drivers one by one, stepping on the accelerator, a strong super, and I am not afraid of the violent person Don't let you go."

Zhao Zhong in the van, after seeing another sedan overtaking him, shook his head, glanced at the sky outside the window, and then passed through the rearview mirror and looked at the goods in the carriage.

"Try to get these boxes to the construction site before dark, and then get home before dark. It rained at night in the province, and it was not clear on the way back. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set in the west.

Through the car window, Zhao Zhong saw that the sky in the distance was red reflected by the setting sun, a scene of burning clouds.

Although the weather forecast does not report rain today.

But in terms of Zhao Zhong's thoughts, and the common sayings that old people often chant. Today's scene is reflecting the sentence "The sunset is full of red in the northwest, and it is either rain or wind".

"The words of the older generation are the roads that have been traveled for decades. It's not necessarily right, but it's still much better than someone who controls a bunch of instruments and only looks at the data. ”

Zhao Zhong thought in his heart, holding the steering wheel with one hand and turning on the radio with the other.

Coincidentally, the weather forecast for the day also came on the radio.

"Drivers and friends in Linzhou City, or tourists who come to Linzhou City to play, hello everyone, I am Ye Zi, next, I will broadcast the road conditions and weather forecast in Linzhou City for you.."

..

Linzhou is a plain city-level city with a population of more than 4 million.

Zhao Zhong is one of them, and he is also an ordinary member.

But four or five years ago, he had a lot of friends when he was in school.

But when he was in high school, he helped his brothers fight, and after he was invited out of school by graduating early, he recognized this society and couldn't use his fists. But the school is no longer available, and it is useless to recognize it, and there is no chance to never come.

So, in order to make a living, he began to work everywhere.

Few years.

He also saved some money, counted what his parents gave him, reluctantly bought a loaf of bread, and became a delivery driver who came and went.

In addition, he often exercises, and often helps customers move and unload goods under the strength, as a gesture.

At this point, when those merchants have customers from other places, if they are close and the customers are urgent, the merchants do not send logistics, and directly contact Zhao Zhong to pick up the goods.

After coming and going, it has become a habit.

In this way, under the care of the merchants, Zhao Zhong's job is also a relatively stable "high-income" job compared to the casual work he has done in recent years.

After all, he didn't go to school well and didn't have any majors. His parents are also honest farmers, and it doesn't matter.

He couldn't find a job in the office, and he couldn't hire it, so after thinking about it, he could only get a driver's license, ponder and ponder, and do this delivery line.

And those high school buddies and brothers, after graduating from college, saw that he did not get rich, and because they each had girlfriends and had their own burdens, they gradually became estranged from the relationship.

It can be said that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. If you don't believe it, but look at the wine in the banquet, and pay tribute to the rich and noble first.

The words of the ancients reflect this society.

Zhao Zhong is not a nobleman, nor is he a rich man.

So.

The road can only be walked by himself.

Success is my own ability, and I will be grateful to my parents in the future.

Failure is also his fate, and he can't blame others..

..

"Linzhou has a sunny day, northerly winds of one to two levels, and a maximum temperature of 32 degrees. At night, it turned cloudy.."

Inside the van, the voice of the announcer leaf echoed in the car.

Zhao Zhong held the steering wheel with one hand, rested the other hand on the side of the steering wheel, and tapped the frame with his thumb.

But a few seconds later, before the weather forecast on the radio fell, there was a muffled "boom", and he saw that the sky was overcast in the distance.

Tick —

At the same time, the raindrops falling from the sky hit the windshield and printed a splash, but under the wind pressure of high-speed driving, it just became a flower and became a blur.

"The rain is falling a little abruptly. It is estimated that after touching it, it will not be small. ”

Zhao Zhong flicked the switch of the wiper and opened the window slightly.

The wind blew, he smelled the thick smell of earth outside, felt the cold air, and for a moment, the dampness in the car was very heavy, and he knew that the rain was in the distance, and it was estimated that it had fallen very much.

Not surprising to him, with the muffled thunder of "boom", the raindrops in the sky fell down, and after a while, he drove the car not far away, and the sky was completely dark.

"It seems that this trip will have to be delivered at night, or after the rain is light."

After Zhao Zhong turned on the double flashes and low beams, he felt that the goods could not be delivered now, and he was also ready to find a high-speed exit to go down, and by the way, he called the merchant to inform him of the reason and see if it could be delivered later.

After all, with such a heavy rain, the ground is slippery, not to mention, just to say that some old drivers who have to brave the heavy rain and have to hurry, he stays on the high-speed road, or goes to deliver goods, which in itself is not proportional to the harvest and danger.

To put it simply, that's not to deliver, that's to send lives.

In the same way, as long as it is human, it will not joke with its own life.

"Make money and life, one yard to one yard. You can make money at any time, but when you die, you can only take money, you can't make money.."

When Zhao Zhong looked at the heavy rain outside the window, when he saw the road sign in front of him, after indicating the exit, he didn't look carefully under the gloomy sky and the torrential rain, he turned right directly and slowly leaned towards the road on the right.

"Didi"

Driving next to the exit, he saw in the right mirror that there was no vehicle behind him, honked his horn twice, turned in, and drove into the exit road.

Whoop—

The rain continued to fall, accompanied by the whirring of the wind and the occasional muffled thunder, echoing in the gloomy sky.

Along the way, Zhao Zhong didn't dare to mention the speed too fast, maintained a speed of thirty or forty yards, walked along this exit road, and after a while, he got off the highway and drove to the road under the high-speed bridge.

However, after getting off the bridge and driving for a distance, he felt that this road was a little unfamiliar, as if he had never been there.

"I remember that there is no such road in the Great Northern Suburbs, right?"

Zhao Zhong reflected the headlights and looked at the road where the water splashed.

Although he rarely comes here, as a delivery driver, he is still familiar with the road traffic in Linshi. For example, the Great Northern Suburbs, where he is now, is close to the countryside and has more dirt roads.

But the road he was driving on now was built on concrete asphalt, and there were some small potholes on it, and it didn't look like it had been built for several years.

Running the wrong way?

Zhao Zhong was a little puzzled.

Subsequently, when he saw that the sky was gradually clearing in the distance, and the heavy rain was no longer falling loudly, but was replaced by a sporadic light rain, he also put away his doubts and chose to turn around and go back the same way.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a good road in the Great Northern Suburbs, I guess the village paid for it to be repaired.."

Zhao Zhong thought in his heart, turned the car around, and was about to turn around, but the car "buzzed" twice and turned off.

He looked down, only to see that the fuel gauge had bottomed out.

"Out of gas? I remember adding it yesterday morning, and when I delivered it today, I had half of the oil. ”

He was a little puzzled. But the business is important, and he doesn't have time to delay, so it's important to deliver the goods as soon as possible while it's not raining.

"If it's an oil leak, just add it and you'll know."

He looked up and happened to see a gas station on the side of the road in the distance.

Click—

Zhao Zhong was resolute, he opened the car door, locked it, picked up an oil can, and walked towards the gas station in front.

The distance is not far, more than two hundred meters.

When he got to the gas station, he handed the oil pot in his hand to a staff member who was reading the newspaper.

"This master, please fill the oil pot. The car ran out of gas over there and couldn't drive. ”

Zhao Zhong said, pointing to the road behind him.

But then, after seeing the staff looking at the road with some suspicion, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

What about cars?

When he looked at it, he saw that the road was empty, not to mention a car, and there was not even a person.

"I stopped here just now. Is it possible that someone can directly tow it away when there is no gas? ”

Zhao Zhong's heart tightened, and his head was dizzy.

Just because for him, this car, although broken and worthless, is his way to make ends meet.

Now it's gone, it's gone. Why isn't he in a hurry, not worried?

"This master, do you have any surveillance here?"

Zhao Zhong turned to the staff member with hope, wondering how his car was lost, but he saw that there were many shops next to this gas station, and the road when there was no one just now was full of passers-by.

When he saw this scene, his heart was not worried and afraid, but he felt incredible.

"How did these people come about.."

When Zhao Zhong looked at the pedestrians coming and going, although the sun was shining after the rain and the sky was clear, he still felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet.

You know, when he first came here, he didn't have anything, only a gas station.

But now, these shops and passers-by seem to have appeared out of nowhere.

Even where his vehicle disappeared, there were several passers-by walking there.

Such a strange thing, even for Zhao Zhong, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, the sudden supernatural event still makes him feel overwhelmed...
