Taxi at night

Chapter 50, Debt Repayment

Chef Le was quite surprised at the unexpected Lu Ren sizing him up, so after he sat down, he asked with concern, "What's the matter? You look so bad."

"I'm in a bad mood, I want you to have a drink."

"Oh, there's really something to do, what's the matter, you're so sad, you've lost your relationship? You haven't been in love before... Wait, Lao Lu, there are still two dishes for guests in the kitchen, and I'll come over to chat with you after the frying. "Chef Le said, and hurried out of the private room.

If you say who knows Lu Ren best in this city?That is none other than Le Chef.A person who usually does not drink alcohol, now suddenly takes the initiative to find someone to drink, no need to guess, Chef Le is sure that something happened, through his observation, this incident seems to be a big blow to him, so that When Lu Ren entered the door, he yelled for wine.

Why worry, only wine!Chef Le concluded that something troublesome happened to Lu Ren.

"Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you." Lu Ren impatiently urged Chef Le to come over quickly, while opening the wine bottle, he couldn't wait to pour himself a drink, and Chef Le kept shaking his head secretly.

Unfortunately, another wave of guests came into the hotel at this time, and when Chef Le hurried back to the private room, he found that Lu Ren was already too drunk to sleep...

This sleep lasted until the sky was dizzy and the lights were just turned on. It was seven or eight o'clock in the evening before Lu Ren woke up from his deep sleep.

"Where are you going? Tonight, I'll go and chat with you." Seeing Lu Ren get up and leave, and he didn't want to eat dinner, Chef Le hurriedly chased him out and asked.

"Where else can I go? I wasted a day, working to earn money." Lu Ren walked out of the hotel without looking back, waving goodbye.

"Are you sober? If it doesn't work, go back to sleep."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm awake." Looking back, he showed a smiling face, as if nothing happened after the rain.

"It's all right, this guy..."

Seeing Lu Ren disappear at the end of the street, Chef Le had a dazed expression on his face. Until now, he hadn't figured out the situation.

The work is never finished, as long as you want to do it, you can keep busy 24 hours a day.

No, before the end of a street, two men, one old and one young, blocked the way.

"Master, are you going to County G?" The older man put his head into the car window and asked Lu Ren politely.

"Go, go to the countryside?" County G is Tang Xue's hometown, so 110 kilometers is considered a long distance.Lu Ren felt a burst of joy in his heart, such a good job is not something that one can come across every day.

"Crossing through the county town, it's about ten kilometers away...there are all asphalt roads, and there are no bad roads at all."

"In this case, it will cost about 300 yuan."

"The price is a bit high, forget it... I am in a hurry to go back, master, when can you arrive? I am in a hurry."

Lu Ren checked the time, and it was already around 8:40. It was estimated that the journey would take two hours, and we could arrive at about 11:[-].

"The sight is not good at night, so let's be more careful. If it's quick... 10:30." Seeing that the two were in a hurry, Lu Ren tried to move the time forward as much as possible.

"Can't it be ten o'clock? There is still someone waiting at home." The old and the young hesitated for a while, and then jumped into the car one after another. The old sat in the passenger seat, and the young got into the back seat.

"I'll try my best!" Lu Ren closed the car door tightly, kicked the gas pedal, started in second gear, the car sped forward, and headed northeast with a bang.

His heart seemed to be bright, the broken car in his hand, once the speed was over 80 mph, it was a little wobbly, and it was difficult to control.Therefore, even on a spacious and flat national road, try to maintain a speed between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour. If it is faster, you can only rely on God to enjoy the meal.

As the saying goes, you get what you get for what you pay for, and if you buy a broken taxi for 15000 yuan, you can still expect it to perform like a new car, which is a joke in itself.

After running for more than half an hour, I just left the city-county junction.

"Master, the car doesn't work! Why can't you run? You won't be able to arrive at 10:30." The old man sitting next to him looked at the time on his wrist and became a little anxious.

"Uncle, I just said this car is not good, it's too broken, and it can't run fast at all. It's better to wait a little longer and find a new car." Hearing this, the young man in the back inevitably complained.

"We've been waiting on the side of the road for half an hour. Did you see a taxi passing by?" The old man turned around and scolded.

"Hehe, the place where you got into the car is a construction site, right? That place is indeed a bit out of the way. There are very few empty cars passing by there, and it is your luck to meet me." Lu Ren's strong point is familiarity with the locality, and the old and the young get on the car The place where it was located was the development zone allocated in the past two years. It turned out to be just a wasteland overgrown with weeds and infested by wild cats and dogs.

It was only at the end of last year that a few commercial buildings with a height of more than ten floors were built in a decent manner.It seems that the walls have just been painted with cement, and the doors and windows have not been installed in place, and there is not even a decent cement road in the community.

After eight or nine o'clock at night, the entire construction site was empty, except for a few dim lights and two or three night watchmen, the surrounding area was pitch black, and the sound transmission in the empty space was very permeating.

"Look, if you don't say that the people who drive the taxis are all live maps, they really know everything." The old man praised, then sighed, and said: "To be honest, we work there. I worked for more than half a year last year, and at the end of the year, I didn't even get a penny... Even after the Chinese New Year, I didn't go home."

"It's not far from home. The long-distance bus fare is only 30 yuan. How is this possible?" Lu Ren asked the doubts in his heart.

"There is still enough money for travel expenses, but I dare not go home. There are still people waiting to ask me for money at home until thirty, and I can't settle the bill with the big engineering boss, and I can't get the money. How dare I go back rashly? Alas, I was worried at the time. I... have the heart to jump off a building."

"How dare you go back now?"

"It's not that I just want to get some money back, so I dare to rush back."

The old man patted his bosom, and he finally had some relief on his face. Needless to say, the money was hidden there.

"So we're coming back? Well, it's not bad."

"It's far away, less than half. Anyway, the salary is almost the same, otherwise, I really dare not go back." The old man sighed while talking, and his thoughts were still unfinished.

The group continued on their way, and received several phone calls on the way. Lu Ren eavesdropped on them, and then understood why the old and the young rushed back overnight. It turned out that the villagers who asked for money were gathering at the old man's house, waiting for him Going back, I can't even wait for one night.

When they got to the place, before the car stopped, everyone in the yard ran out one after another, like stars embracing the moon, and took the two of them into the yard... It was boiling.

Lu Ren passed by the streets of County G, and thought that Tang Xue's parents opened a shop not far from here, so he decided to drop in for a visit, but felt that it was too late, and he was probably resting.

In the end, he picked up a few passengers returning to the city on the side of the road in County G, and rushed home without stopping.
