"Of course. Why do you have such an expression? It's as if I have gold in my shop and I'm afraid that you'll steal it.”
Xu Cong asked curiously.
"I, can I do it too?"
Zhao Wen asked timidly.
"Sure, no, what's wrong with you guys? Why are you talking so strangely? It's as if I'm going to reject you from coming to my shop?”
Xu Cong asked doubtfully.
"No, no, you're thinking too much.”
"Oh right, then we'll be leaving first. Xu Cong, see you next time.”
Xia Wanhe quickly said goodbye, pulled Zhao Wen and Xia Yujun into the car and left.
"Sigh, a school belle insisted on hiring a mentally ill person. Now, she's been infected quite badly.”
Xu Cong shook his head helplessly. He turned around and hailed a taxi to go home.
Fortunately, this place was not too far from his art carving store. It was only a few kilometers away and it only took him ten minutes to reach it.
The driver was a bald, middle-aged man in his fifties. There was a cup of tea on the cup holder, and there was an opera playing in the car. Xu Cong sat in the back seat, and under the hypnosis of the bumpy ride and the opera, he quickly became confused.
After an unknown period of time, Xu Cong felt that the car seemed to have stopped moving. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw that the car was parked on a dirt road. On both sides of the road were waist-high weeds.
There was no one in the driver's seat, but the door was open.
Xu Cong was stunned. Where did he drag me to? This doesn't seem like my home. I remember telling the driver the address when I got in the car, right?
Then, Xu Cong looked out of the window.
The sky was gradually darkening, and there was only a faint yellow light in the sky. It looked like it was going to get dark soon.
"Oh no, it's in the wilderness. If it gets dark, won't it be very dangerous?”
At the thought of this, Xu Cong's forehead broke out in cold sweat.
He had never thought that he would be tricked by a taxi driver in the end!
In a world where demons and ghosts ruled, spending the night outside was no different from going to the toilet in the dark. He was courting death!
"We can't delay any longer. We have to leave this place as soon as possible.”
Xu Cong opened the car door. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the bald driver walking over from the bushes not far away. He was holding two broken bricks in his hands.
Xu Cong's expression immediately turned ugly. Had he encountered an illegal car? Was it trying to kill him in the wilderness?
Before Xu Cong could say anything, the driver walked over and said with a smile,"Young man, you're awake. I'm so sorry. The car sank into the mud pit. I found something to shake the tires. It'll be done soon.”
Xu Cong looked down and saw that the two front wheels were stuck in the mud pit. There were already a few broken bricks and stones on the left and right sides. They would be able to come out soon.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it was not a robbery.
However, Xu Cong was a little puzzled. The road he took home was not such a difficult dirt road!
Besides, when they left the Eight Immortals Restaurant, the sky was not very dark. It had probably been nearly an hour, right?
What exactly happened?
"Oh, I'm fine."
Xu Cong waved his hand.
How could he still sleep at a time like this?
The sky was getting dark. If they did not get the car out quickly, they would really be in danger.
Then, Xu Cong also helped to find something to pad the tires in the fields on both sides.
Five minutes later, the driver finally clapped his hands and said,""Alright, that's enough. You can get in the car too.”
Xu Cong took a glance. It was indeed about time. There were stones and bricks under the two tires, so it should not slip again.
Hence, he got into the car with the chauffeur.
Igniting the fire, giving oil!
Whoosh!
The tires of the car grabbed the hard stones and bricks on the ground and suddenly jumped out of the mud pit. The driver quickly released the accelerator and controlled the speed.
Xu Cong also heaved a sigh of relief." It's finally done. By the way, Master, I don't remember this road on Qianyuan Street, right?"”
The driver smiled awkwardly." Yes, I didn't. I'm a little embarrassed."”
"When I pulled you over, the car was running out of gas. There's a gas station near the Eight Immortals Restaurant, only a few kilometers away.”
"I just wanted to get some gas first and then send you back.”
"Who would have thought that when I was on my way back after refilling up, there would be a car accident on the road. A muck truck collided with a small car.”
"The traffic police have restricted that road. I had no choice but to take a detour and take this dirt road.”
"Although the journey is a little long, there are no traffic lights here.”
"I just didn't expect that after last night's rain, there would actually be mud puddles created by the large trucks here.”
"I was careless and fell into it. I'm really sorry!”
Xu Cong replied and leaned back in his chair. He sighed and said,"Forget it, there's nothing we can do about it. Who hasn't encountered an accident?”
"Fortunately, the car is out now. Hurry up and send me home so that you can go back and rest.”
"The city at night makes people panic.”
The driver quickly nodded." Yes, yes, yes. That's what I thought too. My house is actually on the street adjacent to Qianyuan Street."”
Ten minutes later, the car finally left the dirt road, and the sky fell into darkness.
In the pitch-black night, the orange light of the taxi shone on the road. The sound of the four tires rubbing against the ground made Xu Cong's heart unable to rest.
The sky was dark, indicating that danger could come at any time.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
