Chapter 87

I squinted at the owner of the voice. I saw that the person who came was tall, and a fluorescent yellow vest was worn over the light blue uniform, and the two big characters "traffic police" were printed on it. However, due to the strong light of the flashlight, I could not see his face clearly. The moment I learned that the person who came was not a staff member of the rental car but a traffic policeman, I couldn't wait to look up to the sky and sigh, but I couldn't do anything suspicious in front of the police, so I could only endure the disappointment in my heart and meekly handed over my ID card.

The traffic policeman stared at my ID for three minutes, and then not only did he not intend to return it to me, but he also fell silent inexplicably, making me feel as if I had really done something wrong.

"Is there a problem...... I asked, pretending to be calm.

"Yin Ran...... It turned out to be an acquaintance......" After speaking, the traffic policeman shone the beam of the flashlight on himself.

When I first saw his face, a long-lost sense of familiarity welled up in my heart. At that moment, I could call his name almost immediately, but the more I looked at it, the more I couldn't remember who he was. "Uh...... Who are you? I smiled and took back my papers, but I felt very embarrassed.

"Forget it, after all, I haven't seen you for so many years, and it's normal not to recognize it. If it weren't for your ID, I wouldn't have recognized you. The traffic policeman shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, but did not answer my question directly.

My old acquaintance didn't stop there, but stayed where I was, quietly watching me sit back on the tricycle, and asked, "What are you doing here at such a late hour?" ”

"My car is out of battery and I'm waiting for someone ......to bring the battery," I replied hesitantly. The thought of how embarrassed I was at this moment made me feel so embarrassed that I wanted to cry without tears.

"Is there no power yet?"

"There's only a little left......"

"Since there is still electricity, you should turn on your headlights to remind passing drivers to avoid in time, which is the basic rule for temporary parking on the side of the road." My old acquaintance reprimanded me in a stern tone.

"Uh...... Good...... ......"The thought of my ignorance almost causing a traffic accident made me break out in a cold sweat, and I hurriedly restarted the tricycle and turned on the headlights. Perhaps due to the lack of power, the headlights are flickering and dimming, and it seems that they do not serve as a warning at all.

"Forget it......" After speaking, my old acquaintance stepped back to his white motorcycle, just when I thought he was going to drive away, I didn't want him to lean on the motorcycle, and then took out the walkie-talkie, and said with a calm face: "Brother Long, there is a passenger stranded on the road here that needs to be dealt with, and I have to go back to work later." ”

"Roger! When will it arrive? A rough voice came over the intercom.

"Estimated two hours...... By the way, help ask the boss to leave me something to eat. ”

"No problem! Stay safe! ”

"Roger!"

"You...... Leave me alone...... Let's go back......" I proposed, fiddling with my fingers and wincing.

"Looks like you don't realize the dangers of temporary stops at night." Even under the cover of darkness, I could still feel his fierce gaze. "You have to know that at this moment, I'm not helping you as a classmate, I'm doing my duty as a police officer, so you don't need to worry about it at all." My old knowledge is stern.

"Thank you......" I hung my head in shame as I heard his words.

As the silence crept in, I felt more and more uneasy. In order to relieve the anguish in my heart, I decided to immerse myself in thinking about the identity of this generous and benevolent good policeman, but no matter how I racked my brains and searched my stomach, I just couldn't remember who he was. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and we were still silent. I came back from my contemplation and realized that I was exhausted and hungry. After rummaging through my backpack several times, I finally gave up the struggle and turned to my old acquaintance, secretly expecting him to be as kind as the police in the TV series to bring water and food to the victims. However, apart from the occasional glance at the road behind me, most of my old acquaintances were looking down at their phones, and they didn't intend to talk to me at all.

"What's wrong?" Perhaps sensing my strangeness, my old acquaintance whispered.

"It's nothing......" I muttered, sulking secretly.

The two of us returned to silence, and before we knew it, another half hour had passed. My anger subsided, and I began to look at this little accident with a calm mood. Actually, I've been lucky enough. After all, I haven't encountered wind and rain, snakes, insects and beasts, I have the moon and breeze as a companion, and I have the awe-inspiring police to protect me, so what can I be dissatisfied with?

After an hour and 45 minutes of waiting, the rescue brother finally arrived on a motorcycle.

"The battery has been replaced, let's go quickly, it's still far from the ancient city......" probably saw that there was a policeman, and before the little brother finished speaking, he hurriedly slipped away.

"Let's go."

"Oh......"

On the way back, my old acquaintance drove a police car to follow me, which made me nervous and embarrassed. In order to get rid of his stare as soon as possible, I didn't even bother to go to the toilet and rushed to the ancient city at full speed. When I arrived at the rental location, it was almost twelve o'clock. After listening to my lengthy explanation, the person in charge reluctantly agreed to waive the cost of delaying the return of the car, but even so, the amount of money spent on renting a car today was enough to make me feel distressed. Just as I was hesitating whether to buy instant noodles for a meal, my old acquaintances reappeared.

"Going for a late-night snack?" Changing into civilian clothes, he added a little easy-going.

"Uh...... I want to think about ......"

"I'm in for a treat."

"Let's go!"

"By the way, don't you remember who I am?" With that, he presented his police card to me.

Through the dim light, I could make out the name on the ID. "Fang Zheng, it turned out to be you!" I exclaimed excitedly.
