I am a ghost maniac, and I will start our story "Hitchhiker in the Middle of the Night" immediately!

Yes...... Sneez!" Zhang Xiaokai sat in the taxi and sneezed heavily.

Xiao Kai is a taxi driver, in order to make more money, he will wait on the street every day until late, and sometimes he will go to the bustling streets to take a walk to see if he can meet a few taxis, but with the rising oil prices now, Xiao Kai is reluctant to spend that unjust money, so more often, they are "working" at some busy intersections or stations.

Today is the beginning of winter, the weather seems to have dropped in an instant, when I went out, Xiao Kai also deliberately prepared an extra thick clothes, and now it is on the body, but I still don't feel very warm.

However, Xiaokai still prefers this kind of weather, because in such a cold weather, some people will choose to take a taxi in order to avoid being cold, even if it is a very close distance, so that Xiaokai can charge him a starting price, although the distance is short, but it can earn a lot at all.

The same thing has advantages and disadvantages, the weather is cold and pedestrians who go out will choose to take a taxi, but some people see that the weather is so cold, they want to go out for a walk, but because they can't stand the ice and snow outside, they simply give up the idea of traveling, and honestly hide at home.

Isn't it, Xiao Kai may have encountered the latter situation today, has been waiting in this place for more than an hour, but has not met a passenger, looked at the time is only more than seven o'clock in the evening, the time is still very early, it should be people have eaten, go out or go home, there are no guests at this time It is estimated that there is no point in waiting.

So Xiao Kai deliberately took a long detour, drove the car to a street, if you meet a passenger, you will run a trip, if you can't meet it, go home directly, the money is not earned in a day, in case of freezing and cold on such a cold day, the job can not pull one, wouldn't it be a loss to the lady and the soldiers!

Xiao Kai seems to be relatively lucky, he originally came to try his luck, but he didn't expect him to meet one.

The other party was an old man of about fifty or sixty years old, beckoning to Xiao Kai's car, Xiao Kai drove the car over, and the moment he opened the car door, Xiao Kai felt a cold air instantly coming from the outside, freezing Xiao Kai so much that he couldn't help but shiver all over his body.

"Where are you going, old man?" asked politely, and when the old man said where he was going, he laughed, because that place was the intersection where he had just waited for more than an hour, and he hadn't waited for people.

After Xiao Kai sent the old man to the place, the old man gave Xiao Kai a 100 yuan bill and signaled that Xiao Kai didn't need to look for it.

This road is very close, at most fifteen yuan, Xiao Kai felt that it was not appropriate to collect so much, so he took out some change and shirked it, the old man did not accept it, Xiao Kai happily put the hundred-yuan bill, and put it into his wallet with peace of mind.

Just as Xiao Fa was about to leave, he looked at the old man standing on the side of the street looking into the distance, and asked curiously, "Old man, what are you standing here in the middle of the night?"

You must know that although this intersection is prosperous, there are a lot of cars and people, but it is not in front of the village and there is no store behind it, and it is cold and freezing in the middle of the night and does not go home to that station, which will naturally make people feel a little strange.

Of course, Xiao Kai asked such a sentence, and he also had his own thoughts, he felt that the old man might be waiting for someone, if the wait was not long, he could send them home together, so that he could earn another piece of money.

"I'm waiting for someone, young man, let's go, I guess they won't come until late" The old man said this, obviously he had seen Xiao Kai's intentions, Xiao Kai listened to the old man's words, and was embarrassed to stay longer, so he smiled awkwardly and drove away.

It may be that the old man just opened a car for Xiao Kai, which brought him good luck, Xiao Kai was about to go home when he drove a car and was about to go home, but he didn't drive far before he met a taxi man again, Xiao Kai warmly greeted the other party to get in the car, and asked the other party where he was going, it was really a coincidence, it was still that crossroads.

When Xiao Kai sent the second passenger to the intersection, the old man who had been sent before had not left, still in the same posture as before, standing on the side of the road and looking into the distance, when he saw the second passenger getting off the bus, he also greeted him warmly, and it was a coincidence that they still knew each other, so that the two of them were waiting here to have a companion.

Later, Xiao Kai was surprised to find that tonight's coincidental things were not only like that, because he met several passengers who were going to the intersection one after another, they all had one thing in common, they were very generous, and after arriving at the destination, they stopped on the side of the street and looked around in the distance, as if they were waiting for someone to come, and these people seemed to know each other, and they all greeted each other cordially after meeting.

When Xiao Kai met the thirteenth passenger who was going to the same intersection on the way home, he couldn't help but be curious, so he asked the passenger what he was doing at the intersection?

At first, the passenger was embarrassed to say, but Xiaokai always asked, so he said that he went to that intersection to burn paper for his deceased relatives, and in the leather bag he carried, it was stuffed with dark paper!

The man also explained that the weather became colder in the beginning of winter, and people had to buy new clothes, and ghosts had to change into thicker clothes, and they had no financial resources, so they could only rely on their living relatives to "send money" to them.

However, these relatives died everywhere in the world, and it was impossible to send them to them one by one, so they usually set the paper money on fire at the intersection and let them pick it up themselves.

In the end, the man was probably worried that Xiao Kai was afraid, so he smiled and said to him, these are feudal superstitions that cannot be trusted, and the reason why he did this was just to ask for psychological comfort and express his nostalgia for his relatives.

After getting off the bus, the passenger did not stand on the side of the street and look into the distance like those people before, but found an open space, drew a circle there, and then took out all the dark paper in the leather bag and lit it, and muttered something about the seven aunts and eight aunts, the third uncle, the fourth aunt and the second uncle, come to collect the money, and buy new clothes when the weather is cold.

Then Xiao Kai saw that the people he had sent before took out thick banknotes and piles of gold ingots from the pile of burned ashes!

"Damn! What a hell!" Xiao Kai scolded, and ran away as soon as he drove the car!

When he was about to drive to his home, Xiao Kai remembered the money he had collected before, took it out and saw that it was all dark coins, Xiao Kai was worried that these things would bring bad luck to himself and his family, so he lit it with a lighter and threw it on the side of the road.

"Thank you for your tip!" Just as Xiao Kai got back into the car, he heard the voice of thanks, and it was a lonely ghost in rags who spoke!
