Chapter 7 Halfway through noon
Wei Xiaoyu said politely: "Then please help add it, how much will it cost?"
The man repairing the car replied, "One hundred and fifty dollars." ”
Wei Xiaoyu didn't know how much money he would have to spend on this journey, so he thought if he could save a little, so he bargained and said, "One hundred and two lines?"
The man slammed on the hood, waved one hand in the air, and said loudly and unquestionably, "Wherever you ask, it can only be at this price!"
Wei Xiaoyu thought about it, the bosses of other families might be more difficult to speak, she didn't want to waste any more time trying her luck, so she could only agree to his offer. After the man added freon to the air conditioner, he also helped to check the tire pressure and inflate it for free. After cleaning up, he wiped his hands and asked meaningfully, "Girl, this car is not yours, is it?"
Wei Xiaoyu listened to his words and "chuckled" in her heart, but she concealed her weakness and replied: "Well, this car belongs to my uncle." ”
The man who repaired the car sat back on the low stool, continued the tire repair work just now, raised his eyebrows and said, "Children, don't play with adults' things. At this time, a middle-aged woman who looked like a spinning top walked into the yard of the car repair shop, with a thick waist, a round head, and curly hair, while holding an apple and "clicking" and nibbling, while looking back at the pickup truck parked outside.
It seems that this is a mom-and-pop shop, Wei Xiaoyu saw that the man's hands were soaked in water just now, so he handed the prepared one hundred and fifty yuan to the middle-aged woman who walked in. Who knew that the woman looked a little surprised when she saw her, stretched out her hand and pulled out the money, walked to the man's side, and muttered something in a low voice.
Wei Xiaoyu intuitively felt awkward about her appearance, and turned around to leave this place as soon as possible. But I heard the man who repaired the car say behind him, "Girl, you don't need this money, show us your bag." ”
When Wei Xiaoyu heard him talk about your "bag", he suddenly panicked, walked quickly towards the car, and when he heard the sound of footsteps coming behind him, he ran up. She jumped into the car and started quickly, then drove backwards towards the gate of the courtyard. When she looked back at the garage, she saw the fat woman running after her, but she tripped over the old car that had fallen against the door, and the apple rolled to the side, while the man stood at the door of the garage and watched her drive away.
She didn't look at the situation on the surrounding road, so she "suddenly" drove the car upside down and plugged into the road, provoking the people around the emergency brakes to honk their horns frantically. In the process of reversing, the little gentleman flew in through the passenger window, and as soon as he landed on the seat, he was thrown to the ground and rolled to the side of the door with his wings spread and got stuck in the seat gap.
It squeezed out of the slit in the seat, jumped on the seat and looked at her like a madman, and shouted, "What's the matter! Did you not give the money! You are more slippery than I thought, but can you wait until I am seated?"
Wei Xiaoyu straightened the steering wheel, trying to stabilize the shaking body, and nervously explained: "They saw my bag!"
The little gentleman reluctantly sat up straight, and said, "Bag, what bag of yours?"
Wei Xiaoyu said: "Tips!
The little gentleman raised his voice and said, "Ahhhh
Wei Xiaoyu knew that it was talking nonsense again, and while recalling when it was seen by that woman, he said uneasily: "Ah Qi said that he would keep it a secret, but now it is known by others!"
When the little gentleman heard this, he muttered indifferently: "What if you see it, who can prove that they are not lying." But Wei Xiaoyu has always been uneasy about what happened just now, and she wants to hurry up next, and do what she promised Ah Qi as soon as possible, and try to avoid accidents and mistakes.
Since the morning, the weather has been cloudy and sunny, and the continuous rainy weather has shown some signs of clearing. At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, and the air conditioner immediately became easy to use after adding fluoride, and it was powerful. They were finally able to close the windows of their cars, and the journey was a little more comfortable.
The scenery on both sides of the national highway is very good, and in summer it is the time when the vegetation is vigorous, and along the way, the little gentleman sings all kinds of inexplicable songs, occasionally takes a nap, and sometimes talks to himself.
All kinds of questions rolled and fermented in Wei Xiaoyu's mind, and she had to ask herself if she was dreaming every once in a while. She wanted to ask a lot of questions, but she was afraid that the little gentleman would say harsh words, so she could only hold back her curiosity.
If Huangshan City was the destination, maybe she would be able to rush back to her hometown of Mingshi tonight, and she wouldn't even need to spend the night outside. But her instincts told her that things didn't seem to be so easy. The words that Ah Qi said before leaving didn't seem to be aimed at an impromptu journey that could be easily completed. She still has more than 18,000 yuan in her bank card left, which should be enough for the time being, but what should she do when she spends it? In today's world, it is difficult to move an inch without money.
After running on the national highway for a while, the sky cleared completely, and the plane trees on both sides of the road cast dappled shadows on the road, and on both sides of the road were farmland, verdant woods, babbling lakes and streams, large and small. More than an hour later, she stopped at a gas station and went to the handroom, which was very dilapidated, the doors of the squatting position could not be closed, and even the flushing was broken.
Fortunately, the faucet of the washbasin at the door was easy to use, and as soon as she turned it on, she heard a voice behind her: "Kill that pigeon, kill that pigeon......" Wei Xiaoyu was startled, looked around, but found nothing, she just thought it was her own hallucination. But when she finished washing her hands and turned to walk out, the faint voice seemed to sound behind her again.
She looked back and saw that there was some dark shadow, and when she looked at it, there was nothing. After returning to the car, the little gentleman was shaking his body to the music on the radio, she didn't dare to mention what had just happened, the communication with it was not smooth, and she didn't want to go to other things at this time.
When they were still halfway through the journey of more than 300 kilometers from Huangshan City, they passed by a place called Xu Ying Village, where the road was lined with restaurants, car repair shops, baths and hotels. She hadn't driven far for a long time, she was highly concentrated, and she was always a little nervous when she encountered cement tankers and large trucks, but Mr. Xiao urged her to drive faster.
She slowed down, her eyes searching the restaurant on the side of the road, and several cars whizzing past her from behind. At this time, she saw a "North and South Hotel" with a red background and yellow sign on the right hand side of the driving direction, and there was an empty parking space at the door. After Wei Xiaoyu drove the car over and parked it, he walked into the hotel with a backpack and a round cage. The little gentleman stood on top of her backpack and felt as heavy as carrying a shot put.
The owner of the restaurant, a middle-aged man with a round head and a sports vest suit, was busy cleaning up the cups, plates and dishes used by his guests. When he saw someone walking in, he immediately beckoned: "Girl, are you eating, there are vegetables in the refrigerator, just look at it!"
Wei Xiaoyu said "thank you", looked in front of the fresh-keeping cabinet, and ordered a stir-fried shredded pork and rice with water spinach. The four-seater table in the store was already full, and there was a large round table by the door, where a family of four was already seated: a short couple, a young man and a child of five or six years old, and two middle-aged men with tanned skin, one of whom had taken off his right shoe and sat on a chair with his knees crossed, sipping wine from a plastic cup and serving food to his mouth.
