Chapter 362: Encounter

Damon is in his fifties, and the nature of his work allows him to work late every day. I drove a garbage truck to collect garbage from the garbage cans near each house and transport it outside the city.

That night, as before, he drove to the area he was responsible for to collect garbage, and when he arrived at the garbage can on South Sixth Road, he saw two huge garbage bags and couldn't help but complain in his heart, who is this? Why did you throw so much garbage out at once?

Lifting one of the garbage bags, it felt heavy, and he frowned: so heavy!

The opening of the garbage truck's compartment is a bit high, and he has to throw such a heavy garbage bag hard to throw it in. Picked up the garbage bag and shook it hard, only to hear a 'snort', the garbage bag broke a hole, something in the bag was thrown out, and then a few 'clicks' sounds, and landed on the floor of the carriage.

Damon secretly snorted luck and waved a cold sweat lightly, "Fortunately, the bag didn't break before it was thrown in, otherwise, I would have to pick it up on the ground." ”

Then he went to get the second bag, the garbage in the bag was obviously sorted, this bag was far less heavy than the previous one, he threw it lightly, and threw it into the carriage.

Driving the car, he continued to collect the garbage, and by the time he had finished collecting the garbage on the street, the garbage truck was almost full.

Take them to a processing station outside the city and go back to sleep. Damon couldn't help but yawn at the thought of going back to sleep.

His work is ordinary, he doesn't have too lofty ideals, his old wife died early, he has been single for many years, and his daily life is simple. Basically, there will be no surprises.

As usual, he drove the garbage truck out of the city. But this time, when I was passing the ring road, I was halfway down the road when I saw a truck parked in the same direction on the side of the road, blocking the road. A man, apparently a truck driver, stood next to the truck and beckoned to him.

The truck is parked right in the middle of this half of the road, and if you want to pass by, you have to drive in the opposite direction. Damon stopped the garbage truck from a distance, and the man stepped forward.

The man was a man in his forties. It looks like Kong Wu is powerful. It's a very strong look. At this time, it was night, and it was halfway through, and Damon couldn't help but be a little wary of him, and lowered part of the window pane. "Is there something wrong?"

The truck driver was clearly not the kind of person he thought he was. A gentle smile. "Dude, my car is broken, can you take your car to the gas station ahead?"

Damon stared at him for a moment. The man realized something, reached over and touched himself, and took out a work card, which turned out to be an employee of a transportation company in City U, whose name was Jimmy.

Damon of this transportation company had also heard of it, and his heart suddenly let go of a lot, and he immediately asked, "Where is it broken?"

Jimmy smiled awkwardly, very embarrassed, "I forgot to refuel when I went out, thinking that I could run to the next gas station, but it turned out to be half way and it ran out." ”

Damon also thought it was funny, this Jimmy didn't even know how far the truck he was driving could drive with more gas, obviously a novice, thought about it, and opened the door and asked Jimmy to come up, "Come on, as long as you don't stink." ”

Jimmy, of course, didn't get sick of it, and thanked him, "Thank you, man." With that, he got into the transport truck and sat in the passenger seat.

Damon drove the car, looked ahead, and saw that there was no car coming from the opposite side, so he went around and walked past the truck, and as he passed, he only heard a soft sound of 'dangchang', as if something had smashed on the road.

Jimmy reminded, "Dude, did you lose something?"

Damon guessed that something was probably leaking out of the hole below, and since the car was full of garbage, he wouldn't feel distressed even if he lost it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it." ”

Continue driving forward to the gas station in front of him, drop off Jimmy, take the garbage to the recycling station outside the city, and after unloading, Damon drives the truck back to the office and goes home to sleep.

It was a Saturday, and Lucy and Luisa had agreed to go shopping in the city, and as soon as they had breakfast, Lucy drove to pick up Luisa.

Luisa came out of the house, and Lucy beckoned to her, "Hey, Louisa, come over here." ”

Luisa jumped into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and asked, "Lucy, Jack came to you yesterday, how are you two doing?"

Lucy was in a good mood and said with a smile: "He seems to have the intention of getting back together with me." ”

"Really?" Luisa was surprised, thought about it, and felt that this result was reasonable, she had just broken up with her boyfriend, and she couldn't help but be a little prejudiced against men.

But this kind of thing happened to the good sister, which was naturally a good thing for Lucy, who had been single for a long time, and she had to say 'congratulations' to the other party.

Lucy smiled and said, "Don't be busy congratulating me just yet, it's true to find a way to solve your own problems." Jack has a good friend named Jamington, and I can introduce him to you. ”

"What does this person do?" Luisa thought for a moment, and was not too busy refusing, first asking about the other party's situation. She just broke up with her ex-boyfriend, so she feels that the life of being single is difficult, although because of her ex-boyfriend, she can't help but have a certain prejudice against men, but she wants to find a man as soon as possible and end this boring life.

Lucy thought about it, Jamington was the person Jacques had mentioned to her when she said that her good sister was now single. But Lucy was so immersed in the joy of reuniting with Jack that she didn't remember anything about anyone else.

After thinking for a moment, he said uncertainly: "It seems that I work in an electronic entertainment city." ”

"Video casino?" Luisa continued, "What hobbies does he have?"

Lucy said as she drove, "I don't know." However, he is an otaku who loves to play games, and spends most of his time playing games. ”

When Luisa heard that she loved to play games, she couldn't help frowning, "Forget it, I have a certain prejudice against men who are addicted to games." Maybe they're nice people, but I always feel like they're like. Men who love to play games don't spend too much time with their girlfriends. ”

Lucy retorted with a smile, "I have to admit, Luisa, you do have a prejudice against them. These people love to play games, and we shop and hang out for a reason, all because of loneliness and no one to accompany them. If they have a girlfriend, I'm sure they'll spend their gaming time with them. Jack also loves to play games. He's not what you say. ”

Louisa said lightly: "Maybe." When we first met, maybe so. But after getting along for a long time, they have lost their freshness to each other, and they are afraid that they will spend their time playing games again. Oh, relatively speaking. I'd rather them when they're bored. Get out for a walk. In that case, I can still be with him, even if I don't speak. You can also be aware of the existence of the other party. If you play games, you have to put all your energy into them, and there is nothing else but games. Unless I also learn to play games, I'm afraid I'll soon be estranged from him. ”

Lucy thought about it, but also felt that what the other party said was reasonable, "Since you don't want to, then forget it." Jack has a lot of friends, and I asked him to introduce you to other people. ”

Luisa said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it then." ”

As he spoke, he turned on the radio in the car, and a country song was playing on the radio. This song happened to be liked by both of them, so they sang it together.

Lucy continued to drive on, and when she was halfway there, the car suddenly rolled over something and shook for a moment. A long 'snort' sound followed, and the tires went flat.

The car jolted, and Lucy couldn't hold it anymore for a while, and almost turned into a ditch next to the road. Fortunately, she didn't drive fast, slammed on the brakes, and stopped.

"What's going on?" exclaimed Luisa.

Lucy frowned, "It looks like it's on top of something, and the tires are broken." ”

Luisa said, "How could you be so unlucky?"

Lucy said, "Let's get out of the car and take a look." ”

With that, I got out of the car and went to check the tires. Luisa also opened the car door and got out of the car to see the tires.

"Look! This thing punctured the tire. Lucy pointed to a twisted piece of iron on the tire. Back in the car, he took out the wrench from the toolbox, knocked it on the iron piece a few times, knocked the iron sheet off, and held it in his hand. The piece of iron seemed to be an attachment to something, and one end was sharp, just digging into the tire.

"What is this?" said Louisaki, "who threw this thing here?"

Lucy looked to both sides, and then looked around, and saw that on the opposite road, every other distance, something would be thrown on the ground, and she reached out and pointed forward, frowning, and said, "I'm afraid it's a garbage truck, you see, the ground is full of garbage, and every other section is thrown away." ”

Luisa also realized something, "Oh! this road is the route used by the garbage truck to transport the garbage out of the city, and there must be a hole in the floor of the car's compartment." ”

Lucy said, "It must be, it's bad luck." Then he said viciously, "The driver of the garbage truck, don't let me know who he is." ”

Luisa sighed, "Stay and wait for the car." I hope there will be a car coming soon. ”

Lucy said: "I hope the driver is willing to let us get in the car and take us to U City." When I arrived in U City, I had to find a maintenance company to tow the car for maintenance, which was too troublesome. ”

Lucy grumbled, and Louisa stood on the side of the road with her arms folded and leaning against the car, waiting for the traffic to come and go.

The two waited left and right, but no car passed by on this road.

Lucy couldn't help but complain again, "What's the matter? ”

Luisa continued: "I also look strange, this is the ring road, there are many cars passing by this road every day, why is there no today?"

The two women speculated wildly, and naturally couldn't guess what the reason was. In order to delay their time on the road, Xu Mo arranged for Luisa and Tom to meet, causing a car accident that blocked other cars that were going to pass on the road to the city.

The two girls waited for a long time, feeling that they had been waiting for more than half an hour, almost an hour. It wasn't until they were both impatient that a car drove in the direction they came.

It was a pickup truck with an elderly couple on the pickup.

Luisa beckoned, the old man pulled the car to a stop beside the two of them, and the old woman poked her head out of the passenger seat and asked, "What's going on?" girls. ”

Lucy asked, "Our car is broken." Are you going to the city, and if so, will you let us ride your car? We're both very light and quiet, so we won't disturb you. ”

The old couple laughed when they heard this, and the two were very enthusiastic, and the old man got out of the car, wanted to help, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luisa told him, "The tire was punctured. ”

When the old man heard this, he frowned. I knew I couldn't help. He said regretfully: "I'm afraid you're going to the repair shop." ”

The old woman also said, "Oh! We do go to the city, and you can take our car if you wish. ”

The two girls were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them. The old man opened the car door. Let them sit in the back seats. Drive to the city.

On the way, Lucy complained, "Strange. What's going on today? We've been waiting for a long time. I didn't wait for the car to pass by, and if it wasn't for you, I would have to keep waiting. ”

"yes. Luisa chimed in: "Why are there no cars on this road?"

The old man and the old woman looked at each other. At the same time, she smiled, and the old woman said, "Girls, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but in the direction you came, there was also a car broken down on that road." Unfortunately, the car overturned, blocking the road, and the car on the other side couldn't pass. ”

Luisa and Lucy suddenly said, "No wonder." ”

The two chatted with the old couple, and when they arrived in the city, near the mall, the old couple put them down and drove away.

Lucy said, "I still have to find someone to tow the car and fix it." Luisa, I'm afraid I'm going to let you go in and buy things alone. ”

Luisa said: "It doesn't matter, what do you need, I'll buy it for you first." ”

"Okay. Since they were good friends, Lucy was not polite to her, and said what she needed, and then reached out to the side and pointed to the side, and said to Luisa: "If you haven't come back after you have bought something, wait for me in the café over there." ”

Luisa agreed, "I know the café, so let's settle it." ”

The two break up, Lucy finds someone to tow the truck, and Luisa walks into the mall to buy something.

Xu Mo silently calculated, "The bus broke down, Tom got off the bus, and when he passed the entrance of the mall, it was 11:25:57, and the time when Luisa walked out of the mall was about 11:25:48. Even if the two have the same personalities and just pass by, nothing will happen. I need to create opportunities for them to come into contact with the two of them. Well, the lag in time for Luisa to walk out of the mall made her walk out of the mall at eleven twenty-five minutes and fifty-seven seconds. At this time, Tom is passing by the door, Luisa goes out, and the door of the mall blocks the view, and the two will collide with each other. ”

"Louisa was holding in her hand the things she had just bought, some of which were her own, some of which were Lucy's, there were so many things that she couldn't walk steadily. Once they collide, they will fall to the ground. Tom bumps into each other, albeit not intentionally, and both are responsible. But a single man, in front of a young and beautiful single woman, should show his gentlemanly demeanor, help Luisa get something, and send her to the café. ”

Luisa would thank him by inviting him to a cup of coffee. These two people's personalities are completely compatible, their hobbies are similar, and the time of a cup of coffee is enough to have a good impression of each other. If you have a good feeling, you will leave your contact information, and then you will go on a date. ”

"Louisa, this woman is not bad, cheap Tom. ”

What was needed now was to delay Luisa's time out of the mall so that she would collide with Tom. In front of her, it was an old lady who paid the bill, and I delayed the old lady's time to pay, and it was enough to delay it for nine seconds. ”

Tom has his own car, but rarely drives it. In addition, he is an otaku who rarely goes out, and usually stays at home and reads quietly alone. This Saturday, he went out to buy a few books, and when he came back, for some reason, the bus suddenly broke down.

Tom sighed and got out of the car, intending to cross the road and get on the other side of the road to catch another bus.

Luckily, the road isn't too far, and you only need to pass a shopping mall in between.

Luisa finished her shopping and pushed the trolley to check out. In front of her was an old lady, moving very slowly. Before checking out, I also answered an empty call. Louisa saw it and thought it was a little funny.

When she finished settling the bill, she came out of the mall with a few bags, large bags and small bags. As soon as she reached the entrance of the mall, a person suddenly walked by on the other side of the road and hit her.

"Ouch!" Luisa, who was carrying something in both hands, was not walking steadily, and collided with this man, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?" the man quickly stopped and reached out to help her.

"It's fine. Louisa glanced up at the man, and saw that it was a tall man, about thirty years old, and quite handsome. At least it fits Luisa's personal aesthetic. She glanced at the other party and couldn't help but feel moved.

Seeing that the man reached out to help her, Louisa generously stretched out a hand, and the man pulled her up from the ground.

"I'm sorry you left everything on the floor. The man crouched down as he spoke, helping Luisa pick up something on the ground.

Luisa smiled, "It doesn't matter, you didn't mean to. As he spoke, he squatted down, picked up his things, and put them in his handbag.

The man reached out and pointed to himself, introducing himself to her, "Tom." ”

Luisa replied, "Luisa." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words.

Tom helped her pack up her things and asked, "Luisa, are you here alone?" (to be continued......
