Chapter 0166: Waiting Indefinitely
Let's go see Mom and Dad tomorrow! I wonder if they're okay in the cemetery? Xia Chenghao suddenly thought like this, turned around and left this chaotic place.
Peng Qinggui sat in the driver's seat in a daze, his car had been waiting here for three hours, the lights had been on in the car, and he was worried that Xia Chenghao would not find him when he came back.
Night had fallen, Peng Qinggui's stomach suddenly screamed, and the mobile phone on his body suddenly screamed, and the two voices sang and sang so that he couldn't find the location of the mobile phone for a while.
finally took out the old mobile phone from the inner pocket of his jacket, which was originally his wife's, and was used by Peng Qinggui after being retired for a long time.
It was his wife's phone, Peng Qinggui was scared into a cold sweat, he forgot to call home to report his whereabouts.
"Hey, wife, it's me," Peng Qinggui had just said five words, and a roar came from the other side of the phone to interrupt his words, "What time is it, you see, you see for yourself." Don't you want to go home, you're fine, you don't want to eat, do you? ”
"Wife, don't be angry! I'm here in Baogang now, and a guest will charter my car tonight, 500 Gelang! Peng Qinggui hurriedly explained, he had long known that at this time, the only way to explain was to show that he was working hard to make money for this family, and any other reasons were pale and weak.
The wife on the other side was silent for a while, her voice softened significantly, and asked, "Then when will you come back?" ”
"I don't know wow! It was seven o'clock, and the guest was gone, but he left his luggage in my car. Peng Qinggui smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.
"Luggage?" There was some surprise in my wife's voice, "What kind of luggage?" ”
"A big box, full of clothes," Peng Qinggui said simply, and suddenly added a small sentence, "I took a look just now to see if there were any business cards or anything, but there were no results!" ”
"What then?" The wife didn't react in the slightest to his behavior of looking through the guest's belongings, but asked, "How long are you going to stay?" ”
"I don't know." Peng Qinggui was silent for a while, "I've waited here for so long and haven't waited." ”
"Then you're going to wait?" My wife seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Peng Qinggui's inflexible behavior, and her tone began to become very strange.
"I don't know!" Peng Qinggui also had no choice, he was also bitter and worried, and replied dryly, "Even if I drive back now, I will arrive in the middle of the night!" I won't be able to get out of the car tomorrow! ”
"What then?" The wife on the other side didn't seem to have any idea, "It's not safe to drive back this night!" ”
Peng Qinggui pondered for a while and muttered, "It's really not good, go back tomorrow morning?" ”
"Well, you'll sleep there for the night! Find a decent hotel! Stay safe! My wife instructed on the other end of the phone.
"Good!" Peng Qinggui hung up the phone, was in a daze for a while, put the seat back, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
But after a few minutes, his stomach screamed again, so he opened the door, rushed out of the car, and rushed straight to the small shop.
"How much does it cost to have a bottle of pure water?" Peng Qinggui looked at the small shop, it was quite clean, and there seemed to be a business license and health permit on the wall.
"Two dollars!" The boss took out a bottle of pure water, Peng Qinggui took it in his hand and carefully looked at the logo and seal on it, and then put it in front of him after confirmation.
He didn't want to buy some strange drink and die so far from home, he had bought something that looked like a genuine drink, but it felt weird to drink.
"Where's the bread?" Peng Qinggui pointed to a large loaf of bread in the glass case.
"Three pieces of five!" The boss reached out to open the sliding door, "How many?" ”
"A bottle of water, a bottle of bread," Peng Qinggui took out change from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.
He was just about to turn around and go out when he seemed to remember something, turned around for half a circle and asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, ask about something!" ”
"What's the matter?" The boss ignored it because the money was already in hand and there wasn't much.
"Did a man in black ask you about something just now?" Peng Qinggui asked, staring at the boss's nose.
"Yes, what's wrong?" The boss nodded, then glanced at the driver again, and sat back in his high chair.
"Then ......, what the hell is he asking about?" Peng Qinggui asked.
The shopkeeper looked at Peng Qinggui for a long time, he had already heard that Peng Qinggui was from Yizhou, and the uniform on his body and the V2 hybrid taxi over there had already explained that this was a cross-border taxi, and he would ignore it if he didn't have business.
"I want to ask, what is he asking about?" Peng Qinggui asked again.
"What are you asking for?" The shopkeeper asked reluctantly, but his eyes were on TV.
"Oh! I brought him here from Yizhou, he had something left in the car, and he didn't come after waiting for a long time! Peng Qinggui explained to the shopkeeper, "So I want to ask where he will go!" ”
"I see!" The shopkeeper showed a relieved expression, smiled and said, "I thought you were inquiring!" ”
Although Peng Qinggui didn't know what it meant to be inquiring, he also knew that it was definitely not a good word, so he stood aside and smiled silently, waiting for the boss's answer.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "He seems to be asking if there is a place called Mary's Orphanage." ”
"Is there any here?" Peng Qinggui also asked anxiously.
"I haven't heard of it in more than three years since I've been here, and even if I did, it was a long time ago!" The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
"Oh!" Peng Qinggui also felt lonely, "Then who knows?" ”
"This one! I don't know, the people in this area don't know where to move to for a long time! They all sold their land to the government and then went to better places to develop themselves. ”
"That's it!" Peng Qinggui felt a sadness rise from the bottom of his heart, and he slowly turned around to leave.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper said, "Then the police station must know!" ”
"Oh!" Peng Qinggui patted his head, almost forgetting to ask, "Where is the police station?" ”
In fact, he had already thought about the police station before, but he had forgotten about it at this moment.
"In the Municipal Building!" The shopkeeper glanced at Peng Qinggui, took out a map from behind the counter, and carefully compared the current location with the location of the city government.
"Thank you!" Peng Qinggui turned around to leave.
"Ah...... by the way," the boss suddenly stopped him, "is your business good there?" ”
"Business!" Peng Qinggui turned around, pondered for a while, and shook his head, "There are all big supermarkets, and there are many small convenience stores, and it is not easy to do business such as commissaries, do you want to go to Yizhou to do it?" ”
"No," the boss laughed, shaking his hand, "I'm asking if your driving business is good!" ”
