Chapter 87: Night Walk to the Qinling Mountains
"Hey?! You old boy, did you run over people with a lot of goods? The fat man was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the words came out, Master Zheng hurriedly interrupted him and rushed out of the window, "Bah, bah!" After sipping three times, he hurriedly said to the fat man: "What did my brother say!" If I take my life, I can still play with you here! ”
The fat man thought about it, "Then why don't you dare to run big deals?" ”
At this moment, the broken gold cup we were riding in happened to pass through a tunnel, and the surroundings suddenly became bright, Master Zheng rolled open the window of the cab, lit a cigarette, took a sharp puff, and clicked his dry and yellowed lips without answering. As soon as I saw his posture, I knew that he was going to start telling stories, and I saw that he was idle anyway, so I stretched my muscles and bones, and lay down comfortably and waited to listen to his nagging.
Sure enough, after half a cigarette, Master Zheng snuffed out the cigarette butt and squinted his eyes.
When I learned semi-trailers, I was almost in my early twenties, and now I am over thirty-five years old, three years ago, after selling my Violet in the first four and eight after I sold it, I have been running a lot of goods for eleven or twelve years, and I have encountered a lot of things that cannot be explained by science in those years, in the words of your young people now, it is feudal superstition, but it is really not my feudal superstition, the world is so big, the sky is wide, some things, it is really hard to say.
Every line has rules in the industry, there are rules and taboos, we run long-distance goods, there are a lot of rules, there are a lot of taboos, to say a bad thing, first of all, you can't get close to women, a knife on the head of the color word, the ancestors said in reason. When I was running a sports car, the traffic was not as developed and convenient as it is now, the road was not as flat as it is now, the car was less dangerous, and I often met a lot of passers-by who hitchhiled halfway on the way to the sports car, and they were basically rushing home or out of the village. It stands to reason that these passers-by generally do not stop to give a hitchhiker, first, it is very troublesome to stop the car and turn off the engine and then start, and secondly, we dare not let the ride, especially women.
But after all, the rules are dead, people are alive, and most of the big truck drivers are some warm-hearted masters, not to mention our Sichuan men, who are enthusiastic and upright, helpful, and see someone in need of help in the place where they don't go to the village and the store, and many times they will break the rules and take another ride, after all, to give others convenience is to give their own convenience.
However, since the regulations do not allow people to hitchhike halfway, there is a reason for such a regulation, because sometimes you run on a winding mountain road in the wilderness and deep mountains and old forests, and the people who stop your car are not necessarily people.
Master Zheng took a sip of water and continued.
When I just learned to open a half-hanging, there is a master to take, a trip back and forth for four or five days, are running with the master and the two of them, my master is also a native of Chongqing, forty years old, most of his life has been on the road, very experienced, is a little difficult to get along with, stubborn, stereotyped, but also superstitious, run the half-hanging goods industry when those rules taboo he is not ambiguous, if I make something wrong, the rules are broken and the taboo is broken, and he is not ambiguous. When I was young, I didn't understand that the master was for my good, and I always felt that it was very painful to follow the master to run the car.
I followed the car for four or five years, and then I was able to run the goods on my own. Needless to say, you also know that Qinling is a good place, not only as the dividing line between the north and south of our country, but also contains more diversity of animals and plants than any other place in our Chinese land. Listen, it's the place Qinling, but it's such a good place, and there are a lot of strange things.
I'm not afraid that the big brothers will laugh at my superstition, when I followed the master to run the car, I really encountered some things that science can't explain, but they are all small things that I forget in a blink of an eye, and I occasionally encounter it when I run my own sports car. But I'm a person, I believe in "don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door", I am frank and to make money, those gods and ghosts will not deliberately make things difficult for me, until I was thirty years old, I have never had an accident on the road, I slowly have some money in my hands, and I have changed to a new car, just the violet that I said in the front four and eight back. I originally planned to be like a master in this life, running until I retired, but who knows, something happened later.
When I changed the car, I was considered an old driver with ten years of driving experience, and it happened that I had a little nephew who also wanted to eat this bowl of rice, I saw that his age was about the same as when I learned to drive, and we were relatives, so I agreed, while teaching while leading, like the master took me back then. That kid's name is Xiaohai, we all call him Haiwazi, he left three years ago, and he was only nineteen years old when he left.
Master Zheng was silent for a long time when he said this, and the fat man and I didn't say anything, waiting quietly for him to continue.
After a long time, Master Zheng let out a long sigh and continued to reminisce.
Xiaohai, this child is also well-behaved, and he is not rebellious when he is in adolescence, he listens to everything I say, and he says that the children of poor families are in charge early, which is not false at all. Sometimes customers will ask to work overtime to deliver and unload overnight, and I get up as early as I get up when I deliver the goods, and he even works harder than us when unloading. I also asked him why he worked so hard at such a young age, and he told me that he wanted to learn faster and learn more, so that he could be independent in the future. It's just such a good baby, and he has done evil.
I remember that it was June 16th, when the master who received the car received a call from a customer, saying that he had a batch of fertilizer that we needed to pull over for him, and I remember that the batch of fertilizer happened to be in charge of me, and the customer was also loading the car for him when he called, and the number was a bit much. We had planned to pack it all up before dark, and leave early tomorrow morning, so that we could deliver it to him the next day; However, the customer said that his family had called many relatives and friends to help unload the goods, and the batch of fertilizer was also waiting to be used, so he specially called to ask if he could leave the car in advance. As the saying goes, what people are anxious about, think about what people think, anyway, those of us who run big goods, day and night, and it is not the first time to run goods at night, so I agreed.
That day, I remember that it wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that we finished loading all the dozens of tons of fertilizer, and after eating something, I set off with Haiwazi. The customer is from Baoji, we have to go over the Qinling Mountains this time, I didn't think much about it, I got in the car and let Haiwazi sleep for a while, and then lit a cigarette and went on the road.
