Season 2 Monsoon Chapter 31
Is it true that what you don't get is what your heart desires? It should be nothing but pain and misfortune.
There's a place I've long wanted to go to so much, and that place is the world you've been barren within. I did everything I could to get there. I don't know how long the journey will be, but even though it's a long way to go and when I'll get there, I'm still immersed in it. Also, everything I experienced before I arrived, was something I liked.
The car is running on the road very arrogantly... But suddenly, an imperceptible gurgling sound sounded in my ears. The chirp was extremely brief, but it was still sensitive to me. This strange sound made me feel uncomfortable. My gut told me that something might be wrong with the car. I immediately slowed down and drove cautiously. Sure enough, after another run, the hidden problem under the abnormal sound finally appeared on the dashboard. The water temperature indicator light came on, and the water temperature crossed the red line and reached 100 degrees.
The engine was boiling, and I couldn't go any further. I pulled over to the side of the road and opened the engine cover, only to hear the gurgling sound of the water tank. There should be no shortage of places to repair cars on the national highway, but looking at the front and back, the road twists and turns deep in the mountains and forests, and it seems that it is not particularly easy to find an auto repair shop as soon as possible.
I searched on the map on my phone, and the nearest repair shop was fifteen kilometers away.
"Do you bite the bullet and continue the fifteen-kilometer drive, or do you call for a rescue vehicle?" After some consideration, I decided to wait for rescue just to be on the safe side.
Waiting is a very painful thing, although some waiting is pregnant with expectations and gains, but it is undeniable that waiting is completely passive, and it is a helpless choice to lose the initiative to control the development of the situation.
I was scared to face waiting, and waiting would create a kind of anxiety in my heart. And because I know how uncomfortable the anxiety of waiting is, I not only try my best to take the initiative to avoid waiting, but also try not to let others wait, whether at work or in life.
The old man always advised me to delay my urgent matters and to be steady. However, I have been cultivating for many years, but I still haven't succeeded. Now that I have been thrown into a journey that is ostensibly a search for reality as a waiting, I have really calmed down, and I have learned to face and accept waiting. This may be a kind of helplessness, or maybe an epiphany.
I sat on the grass on the side of the road, looking at the silent mountains and forests in the distance, and felt as if time had stood still. The world in front of me was like a painting, and I was both looking at and in the painting. I'm plain, just an outline of the painting after the drop of Xuan ink is soaked in white space.
The rescue vehicle arrived a little later than promised, but it finally arrived. A tow rope that pulled me back from stillness to movement. Before my eyes, a world unfolded again.
Arrived at the auto repair shop, the little brother who repaired the car skillfully started troubleshooting. After a few tosses, he placed a cracked thermostat in front of me.
"Big brother, it's this thing that's broken."
"Let's change it." I spread my hands out and made a helpless look.
"But now there is a shortage of accessories, and I am afraid it will be tomorrow afternoon to send the accessories and repair them."
"Huh? So what to do? ”
"Why don't you go to the town and find a place to stay?"
"Hmm...... Well, it seems that this is the only way to go. Alas, what kind of town are you? ”
"Savage Valley."
"Huh? Hahaha... Such a fierce name. So you have savages? ”
"Hehe, it's said there is. I haven't seen it, though. ”
"Where are there hotels around here?"
"It's on the street ahead."
"Okay, then I'll go and see."
"Alas, big brother, you leave me your mobile phone number, and I'll call you when the car is repaired."
"Okay~ Then you can remember it. 1…… Never mind. Let's do it...... "I didn't continue to report my mobile phone number, but took out an old business card from my bag and handed it to the car repair guy.
The little brother took the business card and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Big brother, are you a reporter?" ”
"Oh yes. Please fix it as soon as possible. ”
"Don't worry, it will definitely be repaired for you before noon tomorrow."
"Thank you then."
"No thanks, yes."
Actually, I'm not a journalist for a long time, but I took my original reporter's business card with me before this trip. In many cases, most people are still afraid of being a journalist. This identity allows me to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Camouflage is also a way to survive. In this society, we can see everything as good, but we must be prepared to deal with everything that is not good. Otherwise, you see, before and after revealing the identity of the reporter, the speed of this little brother's car repair is different. I dare to pack the ticket, and then he will not only repair the car as soon as possible, but he will not dare to hack me.
I handed over the car keys to my brother and turned to walk to the front street.
"Oh, you?" As soon as I walked a short distance, I was surprised to see the car repair guy walking across from me and changing into a set of clothes. "It's weird, when did he run ahead of me."
The little brother who came to me, obviously seeing the surprise on my face, nodded at my sly smile, but did not speak.
"What's going on?" I couldn't help but look back at the auto repair shop not far away, and saw that the little brother just now was still busy in front of the car. "Oh......" I instantly understood that these two little brothers were twins, and they were twins with a high degree of similarity.
Hahaha...... I couldn't help but laugh. I thought to myself, it should be a wonderful thing to have someone exactly like you in this world, right?!
The little guy who had just walked past me walked into the garage, and he turned his head to look at me and waved at me with a smile.
In his life, he must have inadvertently surprised many passers-by like me in the same way.
Otherwise, how could he be so naughty.
