yawning, slapping on the alarm clock, and smashing back the jingle that was about to ring, Zhao Mai has already practiced agile skills and quick reactions, and is also very sensitive to time, and will never let the alarm clock really ring. www.biquge.info It's half past two in the morning, and he's been writing and hasn't slept at all. Next door lived a pair of old people who were sleeping lightly, and they were still very short-tempered. If the alarm clock does go off, you will definitely have to complain the next day.

The alarm clock is the last resort, in case he forgets the agreement, in fact, the real power is his own biological species, it feels like what time is what time, he never misses it, he never misses it when he is blindfolded for a few seconds. Taking cold water to wash his face, and pouring a large sip of cold drink, Zhao Mai felt that he had come back from the fantasy world of writing books. He rests during the day, codes in the evening, and is a special car driver at night, and the alarm clock is set to prevent him from missing the car appointment, after all, a bad review may make him earn less tips.

His original name was Zhao Yimai, and obtaining it means a single line. Later, family planning was liberalized, and his parents added a pair of dragon and phoenix siblings to him, so he was renamed Zhao Mai. Originally, the three-bedroom and one-living room in the house couldn't accommodate so many people, so he rented a house outside to live by himself. Because he couldn't get used to the fat face of the manager of the unit, Zhao Mai completed the process of graduation, employment and unemployment in less than a year. He was reluctant to ask his parents for help, so he hid his firing of the boss and tried his best to support himself.

He has a car, as for what model or whether there will be a sponsor after reading this book, after all, no one can say what can be popular and how to implant the advertisement. There is nothing strange about this car, the four-wheeled car, or he got his driver's license in his junior year, and his father saved it from the "installation fee for his daughter and second son", which is a late "adult gift". His parents told Zhao Mai at the time that because of his younger brother and sister, they unconsciously cared a lot less about him. However, Zhao Mai is already an adult, and according to foreign sayings, he can be self-reliant, and excessive concern will affect his life. Watching foreign TV dramas, parents give their children a car, and they are no exception. So this car became Zhao Mai's baby.

The car will live forever at the end of the book, longer than the Lord of the Rings in the fantasy book The Lord of the Rings. For the sake of the book's title, "Swords, Sorcery, and Taxi", are there really no sponsors?

If not, then the name of the car is called "THE・CHE", and all letters should be capitalized, indicating that this is a proper noun, which also seems more unique, and in case there is a sponsor who decides to support it, the author can also replace it with a full-text search function, which is convenient, uh-huh.

Zhao Mai has no other skills, and he can barely write a book. It won't be a big hit - maybe maybe it will happen later - but it can still be seen and barely enough to chew grain (i.e., rations). He likes swords and magic and related things, so he is roughly a fantasy writer. If he had a better Chinese language and knew more words when he was in school, he might have written fantasy or Xianxia.

Writing a book requires imagination, coupled with the living conditions of a single dog, Zhao Mai sometimes talks to himself in his head, which is equivalent to writing while talking. If it's in the cross talk world, it's called stand-up comedy, if it's a movie, it's called voiceover or narration, and if it's in the two-dimensional world, it's a bubble dialog box with text circles on top of the character's head. From the perspective of writing, this is called expressing the psychological activities of the characters, enriching the character image, increasing the reader's sense of substitution, and making up the number of words.

Straight to the point. Because writing books is at the level of being incomplete and only enough to live for food and clothing, if you want to improve your life, you have to earn some pocket money by driving a special car. He especially enjoys the business from early morning to early morning. In the first half of the night, he can code words, and in the second half of the night, he will drive, at this time there are fewer cars on the road, fewer people, less exhaust, most of them are some people who catch trains and planes, and they are guaranteed to go and come back. If you can say a few auspicious words, be a life coach, pour them a few mouthfuls of half-salty chicken soup for the soul, and coax them to a good mood, you may earn extra tips. Another important reason is that after finishing work in the morning, you can buy a delicious breakfast, warm and fragrant millet porridge and oily xiaolongbao, which can greatly improve your sleep quality after eating.

Today's guest - why is this sentence so strange - is an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, a finger of white hair surrounded by age spots that resemble a map. Although his body is thin and his knuckles are prominent, he is in good spirits, his eyes are blazing, and he is not tired of riding in the car in the middle of the night.

"It's the first time I've seen an elderly person who catches a midnight flight to be so energetic. Old man, how long do you live?"

"Four hundred and twenty-eight years old. "The old man's voice is full of magnetism and full of energy, and if he goes to Shangengen Square to sing red songs, he will definitely be able to beat the crowd.

"You won't be according to the Taoist algorithm, sixty days is one year old, right?" Zhao Mai's sycophant chicken soup was hurriedly delivered: "You have such a good mentality, you can joke with a young man like me, and you have indeed reached the age of doing whatever you want." ”

"You still know this allusion, it's not easy. What do you usually read?"

It's good to have a topic, as long as we talk, Zhao Mai can keep up with any topic. "Read everything, grow knowledge, insight, heart, and happiness. There are too many books in this world, and there is nothing to pick up when you bump into which one to read. However, you still need to have the ability to distinguish between good and bad, just like driving a car and looking at passengers. I don't take those with fierce eyes, trance, and the smell of alcohol, and it's not enough to trouble money. For an old man like you, I'm willing to say hello. If nothing else, I drive quite steadily, even people with motion sickness can't feel it. ”

"That's right. The old man nodded, looked Zhao Mai up and down, and twisted the corners of his mouth with his thumb, like a gourmand seeing exquisite dishes. "Young man, how much do you make a month driving a month?"

"I really haven't counted it, driving a car is not my main business. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I write books online and live on my fans. If you just make money, you can't compare to a driver who specializes in driving a taxi. And I hate traffic jams, that's a complete waste of life, isn't it? So how much money can I earn by only taking the reservation list at this time?"

"It's nice for young people to write books. What kind of books do you write?"

This old man is more talkative than Zhao Mai imagined, and he actually knows what fantasy is. It's not ambiguous when it comes to elves, dwarves, dragons, or anything like that. If it were a peer who was fifty years younger, Zhao Mai would not be surprised at all, but looking at his gray-haired appearance, where did the legendary generation gap go?

"Don't look at me in the mirror with such strange eyes, that's rude. I'm a translator, and I've spent most of my life translating foreign literature for a living, so I've read no less miscellaneous things than you. My son is currently working in a publishing house, and from time to time he will come back to work overtime with some books that he wants to get batch numbers, and I will also help him read them, so I know more. The two of us meet is fate, I see your bones ......"

Before the words of bone surprise were finished, Zhao Mai's phone rang, and the ringtone was a very passionate march, which felt like a big military parade. Otaku and taxi drivers are the same, they both have the obsessive-compulsive disorder of "never see the battery indicator turn red", so as long as they are not on the phone, the phone will always be charged.

glanced at it, and found that it was his sister calling, and a large picture of her was still dangling with the bell. Zhao Mai used to be able to call Zhao Yimai, which shows how random his parents' names were. After this tradition continued, Zhao Mai's younger brother was called Zhao Xiaofeng, and Zhao Mai's younger sister was called Zhao Xiaoluan - they were all birds anyway.

It's four o'clock in the morning, and it's supposed to be the time when the lazy sister is asleep, how could she call? Zhao Mai said to the old man in the car: "I'm sorry, I have to answer this call, there may be something urgent." For the sake of driving safety, I will use hands-free, please don't open your mouth. My family doesn't know about me driving a car in the middle of the night, so please keep it a secret for me. ”

The old man blinked, made a gesture of tightening the zipper on his mouth, and then leaned back in the seat and pretended to sleep.

My sister's voice was very low, it seemed that she was hiding and secretly calling over, eighty percent of it was the toilet, and it was really after it was connected. "Brother, be quiet, I'll hide in the bathroom and call you. Dad is sick, chronic kidney failure, has reached the point where he needs a kidney replacement, and is now on dialysis. ”

A thunderbolt exploded in Zhao Mai's head, his hands trembled, and the car shook. Quickly came back to his senses, took a few deep breaths, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know, are you sure?"

"Yesterday I noticed that my mother's eyes were red and she seemed to have cried, and I didn't say anything when I asked her. Later, my younger brother happened to see my mother looking at some documents and secretly crying, and we thought that my father had someone else outside, so we opened the drawer and peeked when my mother went to buy vegetables, only to know that it was Dad's diagnosis and case. Brother, what should I do? I checked on the Internet, and this disease is so painful, I need to go to the hospital for dialysis regularly, and only a kidney replacement can be cured. ”

Chronic renal failure is commonly known as uremia in the advanced stage, and the safest treatment is kidney replacement. But there are so many kidneys that can be replaced, and you can only queue up slowly in the hospital. Dialysis, the maintenance therapy, uses a machine instead of the kidneys to remove toxins from the blood, which is very painful and inexpensive.

If I can have a large amount of money, I may be able to think of other ways to help my father relieve his illness as soon as possible. But I don't have a serious job, my younger brother and sister are in junior high school, and when they are still spending money, the family will definitely not be able to come up with such a sum of money.

"Little sister, I know, I'll send all the money I have to the family, and then I'll think of a way. You and your brother take care of Mom and Dad at home, don't let them worry about it. The two of them study hard, spend less money, don't let the adults worry about it, so that they can maintain a better mood. No matter what, Dad's treatment can't be stopped, you know?"

My sister sobbed under her breath and whispered yes.

"There is still a big brother at home, you two must do your own thing first, that is, study. Listen to me now, turn off the phone and go to bed, get up in the morning and be a good and filial boy, you have to do both, understand?"

"I see, brother, take care. ”

Then the phone hung up.

The carriage became silent for a while, and anyone who encountered such a thing would fall into a moment of depression.

"Young man, are you alright? There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome, and difficulties can always be overcome slowly. ”

"I know. Zhao Mai said: "There is no problem at home for a while, but my father has suffered a big crime this time." Alas, my mother always wants to bear it by herself if she has a strong temperament, and she must be the most uncomfortable. ”

"This disease can be cured, so it's not a matter of the sky falling. The old man said to him in a reassuring tone, "An old friend of mine has said that any trouble that can be solved with money is not a trouble. ”

"But isn't having money the biggest trouble?" Zhao Mai reluctantly laughed and said, "If I have 1.8 million now, how can I find a relationship to let my father have surgery as soon as possible, so as to avoid those bits and pieces of pain." Better treatment, better recuperation, which doesn't cost money? But you're right, it's not a desperate situation, it's a treatable disease. Old man, if you have any earning work, take care of it. ”

"If there is fate, there is naturally no problem. As the old man spoke, the pale green light in his eyes flashed. Mr. Driver had calmed down and looked intently ahead, not noticing the scene.
