Wu Family Sword Spirit

Chapter 342 Strange Gas Station

Although I have some grudges against this shabby car, I can't say anything since I got into this thief's car. Anyway, I have nothing to do, as long as I can return to Tiannan City tonight.

Not long after I woke up, Xue Xiaoqi woke up quickly and asked me if I was almost there. I conveyed the driver's words, and Xue Xiaoqi also shook his head helplessly.

The car drove forward for more than an hour, and the speed became even slower. I didn't know which road the driver was taking. It was in the wilderness. I looked outside and saw that there were very few vehicles on the road. We were the only car going.

This guy must have been reluctant to pay tolls. Instead of taking the highway, he chose some small roads through the mountains and ridges. No wonder the speed was so slow.

"Brothers, the car is going to run out of gas soon. There is a gas station in front of us. Let's go in and fill up some gas. You can also come down and have a rest and eat something. There is an instant noodles shop in that gas station..."

As the driver spoke, he drove the car towards a slope.

Xue Xiaoqi and I looked up and saw that there was indeed a gas station on the slope, but it was shabby and did not look like a regular gas station.

I really didn’t expect that there would be such a place to cheer in such a deserted place.

Not to mention, after riding all the way, I was really hungry. I originally bought a lot of food, but the second senior brother ate it all, even the packaging bags.

The car quickly drove into the gas station. The driver kept honking the horn, but no one came out of the gas station. Xue Xiaoqi and I felt a little strange. We looked inside the gas station, but we saw no one coming out of the gas station. The lights in the gas station are obviously on, so there should be someone there. Does this mean you don't want to do business?

The driver pressed the horn for a long time, but no one came out, so he got out of the car with a curse. Xue Xiaoqi and I were both hungry, so we planned to buy two packs of instant noodles from the store in the gas station to fill our stomachs, so we also He got out of the car and followed the driver towards the gas station.

The second senior foodie brother was awakened by us, and immediately jumped out of the car, walking closely behind me with his short legs.

This was an old-fashioned gas station. The door was closed and the lights were on. The driver reached out and knocked on the door several times, but no one came to open the door.

Just when we all thought there was no one at the gas station, an old voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Who..."

The voice was a bit hoarse, and it suddenly sounded, startling us. The driver said angrily: "Who are you talking about? You are not doing business anymore? Open the door quickly, we need to come on."

"Our gas station doesn't do business at night. After work, we refuel during the day." The old voice said, and opened the door. An old man came out. He looked very thin, over 60 years old, and had a heavy back on his back. He was carrying a bag and looked like he was about to go out.

I looked at the old man, his expression seemed a little anxious, as if he wanted to leave here in a hurry.

The car is almost out of gas now. We are in this place with no village or store. If we can't get gas today, we will definitely have to spend the night here. Besides, we are all hungry now, so we definitely can't let this old man leave. .

Immediately, the driver stopped the old man, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he said with a smile: "Uncle... don't go, give us gas before we go, we are all still hungry. Well, it’s convenient for you, I can tell you the price and everything else.”

"If you don't do business at night, you won't do it. Nothing you say will work. Hurry up, stop nagging, I'm going to close the door." As he said that, the old man took out the key, and with a clatter, The door was about to close.

At this time, I had quick eyesight and quick hands. I grabbed the old man's arm, took out 1000 yuan from his body, stuffed it into his hand, and said politely: "Uncle, in this wilderness, the car is out of gas." , we can’t stay in the car overnight, so it’s convenient for you, just think it’s a good deed.”

As soon as the uncle saw the wad of red banknotes in my hand, he immediately became hesitant. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to move quickly, I'm still in a hurry to leave."

"Okay, we will definitely be quick, thank you."

Without any explanation, Xue Xiaoqi opened the door, and the three of us walked in in a flash.

The house is full of the smell of gasoline. There is no refueling device outside. There are just a few oil barrels placed inside the house. There is a scale on the ground, and next to it is an oil can specially used for weighing oil. This Gas stations are very rare. I often saw them when I was a child. But when I grow up, they are basically extinct. I didn’t expect to see one here.

The driver was busy refueling, while Xue Xiaoqi and I saw several shelves in the next room with some snacks, instant noodles, ham sausages and so on.

At that moment, we were not polite and took some instant noodles and some snacks. We found a table and sat down. We also asked the old man for a thermos bottle, planning to make some instant noodles and have a meal.

After the driver filled up the tank, he soon sat at a table with us and made some instant noodles to eat.

At this time, the old man stood beside us, looking up at the clock hanging on the wall, looking anxious, as if he was in a hurry to leave.

I was curious for a moment, so I asked: "Uncle, I see that you seem to be in a hurry to leave. Is there something urgent?"

The uncle glanced at the three of us, hesitantly, and seemed a little unable to speak.

I felt more and more that this uncle was a little strange, so I asked again: "Uncle, if you have any questions, just say it. Maybe we can help you. It's not easy to go out, so we should look after each other." , do you think so?"

When I said this, the uncle immediately sighed and said: "Okay, boys, hurry up and leave after eating. No one can help me with this, so just eat quickly. After finishing the meal, the uncle can close the door."

The instant noodles haven't been soaked yet, and we are not in a hurry to eat them. Seeing that the old man is getting more and more nervous, it arouses the curiosity of several of us.

Xue Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what's going on? Please tell me. With us young men here, what are you afraid of?"

"Alas!" The uncle sighed heavily, and finally said: "It's not that I won't tell you, but I'm afraid that you won't believe it if I tell you, and you think I'm talking nonsense to you."
