Chapter 14: The Escape of Mortals
"Bang bang bang" There was a sound of footsteps from in front of Zheng Pei, as if something was rushing towards him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But Zheng Pei didn't care, he estimated that this was another little thing called Yuling. But in fact, it was a person who slammed Zheng Pei to the ground and quickly pressed a piece of paper to his eyebrows.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Pei used all his strength to push the other party away from his body.
"Live...... Alive? It seemed that the other party was more surprised than Zheng Pei, and he immediately turned around and asked, "Brother Long, it doesn't work, what's the matter?" ”
As soon as the man's words fell, a few people came out of the darkness of the woods. Zheng Pei didn't know what they were going to do, could it be that he was carrying two burdens to rob?
"Stop it first, how about going back and letting the boss see it." One of them gave the order.
Several other people immediately rushed over to arrest Zheng Pei. He shouted for help while punching and kicking these people, but in the end, because he was outnumbered, he was kicked down and pressed to the ground.
"What are you going to do?" Zheng Pei shouted as he kicked hard with his feet.
"Ahh One of them was kicked in the calf by Zheng Pei, shouting and rubbing the sore spots.
"Oh, what are you doing with that!" The person who gave the order just now kicked Zheng Pei in the face, and Zheng Pei fainted immediately. "Tie it up, go back to the boss," the man said as he commanded, "hey, don't throw away his things, take them back!" Hey, be careful, one less boss will kill you! ”
In a coma, Zheng Pei felt that he was first carried by several people, and then it seemed that he got into the car, and he didn't know how long he tossed. Anyway, when he woke up from his coma, it was already dawn.
Right now, in addition to the feeling of hunger in the stomach, there is a hot pain on the face. Zheng Pei was now sturdyly tied to a chair with a backrest, the rope was so tight that his hands and feet were numb, and to make matters worse, his brow was covered with a bunch of yellow notes, and he couldn't see anything but the strength of the light. This note seems to be still pasted with glue, no matter how he shakes it, it just won't fall off.
"Hey, look, you see, it's moving." A whispered voice came from behind Zheng Pei. Zheng Pei wanted to shout for help, but only then did he find that his mouth was also stuffed with something. He shook his body vigorously, and his mouth made a sound of "woo uh-huh", trying to break free from the restraints on his body, but after tossing for a long time, Zheng Pei gasped and stopped, and it was in vain.
"What to do, look at you!" The whisper sounded again, and there was a kind of horror in his voice, "Do you want to post another one?" ”
A very light step slowly approached Zheng Pei from behind, and there were several pauses in the middle, as if he was afraid of being discovered by him. Just when he was very close to Zheng Pei, Zheng Pei struggled violently, and as expected, the other party seemed to be very afraid of Zheng Pei, and his sudden action almost scared the other party half to death, and he ran back as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
"Brother Shan, let's go out!" A voice trembled and pleaded, sounding like the accent of Yushou County, which borders the city of Dejang.
"Okay...... He couldn't run. "This guy named Brother Shan is still panting, it seems that he wanted to get close to Zheng Pei just now.
The two of them walked away quickly, and Zheng Pei felt a silence around him. Why, why! Zheng Pei's heart kept questioning. Why does all this mess always haunt him? He just wants to go to school well, find a good job in the future so that his mother can live a good life, even if it is such a simple wish, is it so difficult to achieve? Although he stuffed something in his mouth, Zheng Pei still shook the chair like crazy and let out a roar of "uh-huh". The chair couldn't withstand Zheng Pei's tossing, and under his crazy shaking, there was a crisp "click", and the back of the chair broke. Zheng Pei threw out the broken back of the chair, and the ropes on both hands immediately loosened a lot. After untying the rope on his hand, he did not immediately wipe the note on his face, but pulled the strap to get the things out of his mouth first, the smell was so sassy and smelly, Zheng Pei retched while untying the rope on his legs.
I can't think about it that much now, so let's get out of this place first!
After Zheng Pei stood up, he wiped the note on his face, and there were some black Taos painted crookedly on the yellow note, which made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it. There was dust everywhere on the ground, and there were several sacks piled up in the corners of the walls, Zheng Pei opened an open mouth and looked at it, and there were corn kernels inside. Zheng Pei couldn't care so much, he filled his two trouser pockets with corn kernels, and he chewed the corn kernels while observing where he could get out. There was a long table at the door, on which were Ba Niang's two burdens, and there was a glass window on the wall where the table was leaning, Zheng Pei climbed on the table and secretly poked out half of his head to observe the movement outside. There was no one outside, and judging by the belt conveyors and weighbridges piled up in the yard, this should be a small private grain depot or something. The door was not locked, Zheng Pei took the burden and slipped out lightly. After determining the direction with the sun, Zheng Pei did not run away rashly, because he didn't know what the two people guarding him looked like, and whether he had accomplices, otherwise he would be even more dangerous if he ran into him on his back. The courtyard wall is not high, Zheng Pei grabbed the thick glass ballast embedded in the wall and looked at the situation outside the courtyard. Only one road outside the gate leads to the road to the south, and the other three sides are cornfields. By this time, the corn cobs had all been broken, and the ground was full of bare corn stalks. Zheng Pei thought about it, went out over the wall with his baggage, and walked east with the corn stalk, if anyone found him running away, he would immediately hide in the corn stalk. After walking for a few miles, Zheng Pei saw that there was nothing abnormal before and after, and then he turned into a small road leading to the south highway and walked slowly.
Not long after walking south, Zheng Pei walked to the side of the road. It is a national highway where bicycles, donkey carts and tractors come and go. There is a repair shop across the road, which is a simple two-room bungalow, with no signboard, and the mechanical parts scattered all over the place in front of the door are counted as signboards.
Zheng Pei crossed the street and came to the repair shop, where two repairmen covered in oil were squatting in the house and smoking.
"Master, how do you go to the county seat?" Zheng Pei deliberately said vaguely, he didn't know his specific location for the time being, and he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of others and treat him as a bad person.
"The shuttle bus is long gone, only in the morning." The young-looking repairman looked at Zheng Pei and said.
Zheng Pei was disappointed, in this case he would have to stay in this unfamiliar place for another night.
"There is a tractor on the road, give two dollars and I'll take you away." The middle-aged repairman said in a low voice, and when he finished speaking, he continued to smoke, never looking at Zheng Pei.
"Oh, thanks." Zheng Pei was very happy, turned around and walked to the side of the road to wait for the car. As long as he can get to the county seat, not only can he find his way back to school, but he can also be regarded as out of danger.
"Go and wait!" The middle-aged repairman shouted, Zheng Peicai realized that he had made a mistake in the direction, he turned around and smiled embarrassedly, only to find that the middle-aged man had already gotten up and walked inside.
Not long after crossing the road, Zheng Pei stopped a tractor, and the car behind it was filled with half a bucket of pumpkins. ”
"The county seat!" Zheng Pei hurriedly replied.
"Where is the county seat?" The driver stopped in front of Zheng Pei.
"Well," Zheng Pei thought for a moment, "the bus station." ”
The driver beckoned Zheng Pei to get into the car. Zheng Pei thought about the money he was carrying, and asked again: "Is two yuan okay?" ”
"Hey, you're in the car!" The driver smiled and shook his hand, "I'm passing by, just get here!" ”
"Oh!" Zheng Pei happily agreed, put the burden in the body, stepped on the rear tire and turned over and sat in. After the driver stepped on the accelerator in gear, and after the exhaust pipe sprayed a few puffs of black smoke "suddenly", the tractor reopened on the national highway and drove towards the county seat in the east.
Zheng Pei thought about a lot of things along the way, school, thieves, Ba Niang, cabins, kidnappers, he didn't know how he could be involved in these inexplicable things, now he not only didn't know how to solve these problems, but he didn't even sort out a basic idea, but soon sleepiness climbed on his face, even the violent bumps of the tractor did not stop him from falling asleep quickly.
"Hey! Epigenetic! It's here! The driver turned his head and shouted. Zheng Pei opened his eyes, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what was going on. The driver looked at him dazed, and shouted to him with a smile: "The bus station has arrived!" Zheng Pei suddenly understood, stood up and rolled out of the car body. The driver saw him standing on the side stunned and hadn't woken up yet, so he shouted again: "Your things, baggage!" Zheng Pei took out the burden in a panic again. Hi! Be smart! Don't lose anything! The driver shouted at him again, and after hanging up the gear, the tractor drove away "suddenly".
The sun had begun to set in the west, Zheng Pei yawned a long time, and walked into the bustling crowd with his baggage. Yushou County long-distance freight bus station, he saw this signboard very clearly, according to Zheng Pei's memory, from Yushou to Dezhang, there has to be an hour and a half of driving, now you have to find a car to go to the city, maybe before dark.
Zheng Pei traveled through all kinds of large luggage and small packages, and actually found a car to Dezhang City. However, there is two good and bad news, the good news is that this car is the last car to go to Dezhang today, and he is just in time; The bad news was that there were no more seats on the bus, and the owner gave him a small maza to sit in the aisle.
"You sit down first, and you'll have a seat when someone gets down." The car boss pushed the hesitant Zheng Pei into the car, took out a Mazha from under the passenger seat and handed it to him, "Go to Dezhang five yuan." ”
Zheng Pei took out for a long time, but he could only take out three yuan, he looked at the car boss with a red face, "Uncle, I ......"
The car boss grabbed the money and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, "You go down to Zhang Nancheng." ”
Zheng Pei hugged the burden and walked to the back aisle and sat down.
The car boss lit a cigarette and said to Zheng Pei again: "Hou Sheng, when I say bow my head for a while, you are clever." ”
"Oh." Zheng Pei agreed, although he didn't understand what the car boss said, but he didn't get him out of the car, and he always felt sorry for the car boss Zheng Pei, so as long as it wasn't too demanding, he would agree.
A few more people sat in the aisle with a small horse, and a woman with a small satchel on her back also got into the car, but she did not sit down, but stood at the door of the car and shouted: "Dezhang La, Dezhang, the last shift today, go fast!" At her shouting, two people came up, and the owner of the car took the small maza to them, and then sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. The car drove out of the bus station compound and slowly drove along the side of the road, while the small satchel was still shouting: "De Zhang La, De Zhang, there is still a seat, hurry up!" When I finally got on the national highway, two more people got into the car, looked at the car full of people, and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that there are still seats?" "One in front, one in this one, and one for five pieces in Dezhang." The little satchel pointed to the co-pilot and the raised hood at the doorway, and skillfully tore the two tickets. Those two people had no choice but to give money and sit down. The small satchel put the money in the bag, said hello to the car owner and got out of the car and left, the car owner closed the car door, accelerated onto the national highway, the car swayed, and the car was full of people.
When he was about to drive out of the county, the car boss shouted: "Everyone in the aisle bows his head!" Although Zheng Pei didn't know what was going on, he quickly put his head on his thigh and lowered his body. The other people with seats all had serious expressions, and the people in the middle aisle tried their best to keep their bodies down and hide themselves as best they could. The owner of the car opened the window and laughed with the traffic police outside, then turned around and shouted: "Okay, it's okay!" ”。 Zheng Pei heard someone behind him quietly ask, "What are you doing here?" "Check overload." "That's it?" "What are you looking for, making a show."
Some of the passengers kept getting off the bus, and Zheng Pei finally got a seat. He watched through the glass of the car window as the men got out of the car with large bags of luggage and walked away, imagining what kind of life they would live. After a bumpy ride, finally when the sun set halfway down the horizon, the bus arrived at the southern city of Dezhang City. Zheng Pei got out of the car with two burdens, and at this time the road was full of people riding bicycles home from work, and the setting sun gilded everything with a layer of golden yellow. The long-distance car had run away, mercilessly throwing him the back of a dirty car butt. Zheng Pei stood on the street, unable to figure out whether it was his unfamiliar sense of belonging to the city or the autumn evening breeze that made him feel a little cold.
How do you go on with this life? Even if he didn't have a good plan for the future, Zheng Pei didn't expect his life to fall into such chaos. Now, he was standing in a strange street, with no dime on him, only two bags and two pockets of raw corn kernels. Zheng Pei knew that now he could find school as long as he went north, but he had no direction at all on how to go in life.
My mother said, where there are mountains, there must be roads, and where there are waters, there must be crossings. There will always be a way to do it, if you lose your head and don't lose your ambition, it depends on what these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods do to me!
Zheng Pei is now in Nancheng, and instead of rushing back to school, it is better to go directly to the Chengsheng Building to work the night shift. Although he didn't know the route, it shouldn't be seven o'clock yet, and he had time. He couldn't take the bus without money, so he could only inquire and walk, but fortunately, the distance was not particularly far. It's just that he hasn't eaten for two days, and he feels so embarrassed when he smells the fragrance wafting from every house's cooking. When he walked on the Nancheng Bridge, Zheng Pei stopped on the bridge, firstly because he wanted to rest and then walk, and secondly, he wanted to avoid the limelight full of the smell of rice. Maybe one day, Zheng Pei smiled, maybe one day, he will find a good job in this city, he will also have a wife and children, he can also live a life of commuting to and from work to pick up his children to buy vegetables and go home to cook and chat while eating, at that time, he will take his mother over to live with him, he will never let his mother suffer and be tired again, he will take care of everything about her, make her live comfortably, and let the people in the village envy her. But in a blink of an eye, Zheng Pei's brows furrowed, he didn't know how his mother was doing now, what she was doing now, if she knew everything that had happened to him in the past few days, he didn't dare to imagine what his mother would be worried about!
Zheng Pei's eyes shone in the slowly approaching night, and he knew that everything would be like this sunset, gradually sinking into his heart, no one would know, and no one would say it again. He still has a long way to go, and perhaps more to sink in his heart......
