CHAPTER XIII

Strange gas station

――――――――――

The beginning of a conspiracy is not just for one person, confined to one place, but many places that you often don't notice.

On the way to a small town on the outskirts of Chengnan City, perhaps because there are too many overloaded vehicles passing by all year round, the only shortcut from the town to the urban area of Chengnan City has also begun to be a little tattered and bumpy. It's been a long time, especially after the construction of a new suburban road. The road began to be slowly abandoned, and the weeds on the side of the road began to overgrow.

That's how people like the new and hate the old.

Even if someone thinks of this place once in a while, when they pass by it, they will see the current scenery of this place. Sigh as if in a different world: "How did this place become like this?" ”

hehe

As it slowly became abandoned, many people seemed to forget that there was still such a way here. Until one night, a strange thing suddenly happened on this road. The abandoned shortcut has once again been unearthed

This has to start with Zhang Qingrong, a truck driver who is often busy in several cities in the town.

The darkness outside makes people feel calm, and the car radio is broadcasting the news of the last few days: "In recent days, Seongnam City will continue to rain for a long time, please pay attention to the safety of friends who travel"

When he heard this, Zhang Qingrong couldn't help but mutter: "Damn, it's raining again." How else does this make people live? ”

Every rainy day, Zhang Qingrong's business of pulling goods will be relatively reduced, which is a bad sign for a man who urgently needs money to support his family.

When I opened the window, a stuffy and humid feeling from outside squeezed into the car. Hurriedly closed the window again, scolded and said, "It's really going to rain this day!" ”

In order to be able to rush home early in the middle of the night, lie in bed early and get a good night's sleep. Zhang Qingrong chose this shortcut that he hadn't taken for half a year, although he knew that walking here would reduce the drive by a full twenty minutes. But this is a shortcut that is already full of potholes, and every time he walks by, Zhang Qingrong feels sorry for his money-making train.

"Forget it! Getting home early is the main thing! ”

Walking on the potholed shortcuts at a slow pace. Staring intently ahead, after all, I haven't passed through here for so long

Look at this once-familiar shortcut that is still unfamiliar. Zhang Qingrong has a feeling of changing world: "I think that this road was the 'benefactor' who raised my grandfather's generation." Now"

In the exclamation, I unconsciously took half of this shortcut in the car. The flickering and shrinking lights that appeared not far away attracted Zhang Qingrong's attention: What is it?

Zhang Qingrong slowly drove the car over, and unexpectedly found that there was a string of traffic at the lights in front of him.

Zhang Qingrong cautiously drove the car to the far right and walked along the edge. When I walked to the middle of the traffic, I found it

"So these cars are waiting to be refueled! Wait, come on? ”

The two words instantly made Zhang Qingrong stunned: "When did you open a gas station here?" ”

After driving the car slowly forward for a while, it was indeed a gas station. But this gas station is familiar to Zhang Qingrong!

"Isn't this the gas station that a wealthy distant relative of the mayor used to run?"

But wasn't this gas station closed down seven years ago? It just so happened that because of the change of leadership at that time, this gas station has not been demolished! It became a playground occasionally frequented by children in the neighborhood, but gradually as it became less crowded, even the children were too lazy to patronize. To this day, Zhang Qingrong has not noticed this gas station for a long time, and it seems that it is about to be erased from his memory.

But now

"Why did this gas station reopen?"

Zhang Qingrong was surprised to see that there were more than a dozen cars lined up here waiting to refuel, and it seemed that the business was not bad, although the gas station was still in tatters, but after it was cleaned, it looked like there were people haunting.

Just when Zhang Qingrong was surprised, "Titicaca" sounded twice, and Zhang Qingrong's train shook violently twice.

The fuel level hand is close to zero.

Zhang Qingrong was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it just added oil?" How did it run out so quickly? ”

Subconsciously opened the car window, just in time to see a crack in the traffic. Zhang Qingrong, with his skillful skills, actually squeezed the car into the traffic.

He was in a hurry to go home, and he was too lazy to take care of the danger of being scolded by the people behind him, Zhang Qingrong closed the window and waited for the car in front of him to drive away, and he could hurry up and refuel!

"Master, fill up the oil!"

As he spoke, he replaced his refueling card with the refueling staff.

At night, this person seemed to have a quirk, still wearing a work hat, so that Zhang Qingrong couldn't see the face under the hat at all. I could only vaguely hear the man's reply: I'm sorry, the card reader is broken! Please pay cash!

"Cash!"

Zhang Qingrong touched his pocket: "Take out a few red tickets and hand them to the person, and say, there is no zero!" ”

The man did not hesitate to hand over the money and find change for Zhang Qingrong as quickly as possible.

signaled Zhang Qingrong to leave quickly, and at this time Zhang Qingrong also found that many drivers behind him were angrily honking at Zhang Qingrong with dissatisfaction!

Zhang Qingrong "hehe", whatever! Just fill up the gas and get home!

Immediately drove the car and accelerated towards home

"Wangwang"

I don't know if it's because I came home late at night, and the car was so loud that I was just approaching the town. He heard a steady stream of barking dogs coming towards him

One, two, three

It seems that most of the dogs in the town are barking after that.

Zhang Qingrong was very surprised, and scolded and said: "These damn dogs, how can they hear Lao Tzu's car like they heard a thief?" ”

Zhang Qingrong still drove forward, but he didn't notice it. Behind his car, he was followed by several homeless stray dogs on the ground along Zhang Qingrong's car. Sniffing what?

The sound of "Boom" continues

It wasn't until Zhang Qingrong heard the car at the door of his house that he found these stray dogs.

Grabbing a few bricks on the ground, he demonstrated to the dogs. A few dogs reluctantly left

Zhang Qingrong walked to the back of the car curiously, but didn't find anything?

After being stunned and confused for a long time, he no longer wanted to go home

Until the next day

only to find out
