The parking lot is reserved for my house, and there is no wall next to the road. Next to the heavy truck is a neatly placed plastic bucket that my brother unloaded from the car. It looks a little dazzling from a distance.
When my brother was idle, I counted the plastic buckets. After finishing the count, I couldn't help but froze for a few seconds, and then quickly counted it again:
197, 198, 199...
Yes, one is missing!
When loading the car yesterday, it was obviously two hundred. Why was one missing? Was it lost on the way back yesterday, or was it stolen by the villagers
If it was lost on the road, it should have been dropped when the little girl braked, but I looked at the scene very carefully at the time, and it was unlikely to fall from the car.
Since it didn't fall from the car, it must have been stolen by the villagers.
The rural people don't have any serious problems, but they like to take advantage of the small things and do things that are easy. This kind of thing happened before, once my house pulled coal from a truck, and in the middle of the night, someone carried a basket to pick up coal.
For this reason, my stepmother was scolded in the village for several days.
Hehe...
Just when I was scolding my mother, suddenly, I heard a string of very sudden laughter. Listen carefully, it seems to be coming from a bucket, and it's still the laughter of a little girl.
Facing the neatly stacked white plastic buckets, I froze for a long time before I came back to my senses.
Hehe...
Although the laughter was not loud, I heard it very clearly. I looked around subconsciously. A fellow driving a hand tractor on the side of the road suddenly drove over in black smoke.
Hell in broad daylight
I followed the sound and found the source of the laughter. It really came from the barrel!
"Who? Who is inside?"
The barrel shook but no one answered. I took the courage and walked over. Just as I was about to reach out and lift the lid of the barrel, the lid of the barrel was suddenly opened by a little girl's head, and there was a terrifying cry: Wow!
I was so scared that I almost flew out and sat on the ground. When I saw the little girl in the bucket, I pulled her out of the bucket in anger.
The little girl is the second girl Miaomiao from my third uncle's family. She is eight years old this year and she is in the first grade in the village.
"What are you doing here?" I scolded her.
"I'm playing hide and seek with my little sister."
"While playing! What's not good to hide in the non-hidden barrel."
Miao Miao was aggrieved, turned and ran away, after running a few steps, he stopped and looked around.
"Go home and do your homework!" I continued to shout at her.
Miao Miao looked back at me and left with a pouting face and reluctantly.
After smoking two cigarettes, my brother finally came back with a car for the last eight rounds. I told him about the loss of a bucket, and complained that he shouldn't unload the bucket in the parking lot and let the villagers who love small and cheap things steal it. My brother frowned and said that it was impossible, because the thief was bold enough not to steal things in broad daylight.
"Don't believe you count."
My brother doesn't believe in evil, so he counted it with his fingers, and then said: "It's not less, obviously two hundred. If you don't believe you count."
So, I counted it a third time: 197, 198, 199, 200!
Huh? It’s true, this is really evil, I
Can't even count
"Chen An, can you stop doing things like you lose your soul in the future, okay?" My brother told me.
I don’t want to argue with him, saying: "Load the car. I didn’t mean to count wrong."
I put the buckets with refined salt in the bottom corner, and then placed them in sequence. The last eight rounds are just right for two hundred buckets.
After loading the car, I followed my brother home for dinner. The stepmother didn’t give me a good face, and said that I didn’t have enough to eat, and I didn’t do anything. I delivered the goods twice. Bai was two years longer than Aping. learn.
It is natural for my stepmother to have an opinion on me, even if the two biological sons will have different eyebrows. But the thing she had the most objection to me was because of going to school, so she told me about it when she was fine.
It's embarrassing to say about my school.
Although my brother and I are not related by blood, they weren’t learning materials. They didn’t go to school until they graduated from high school. Later, I chatted with a girlfriend who went to technical school on the Internet, so my dad asked me to go to technical school to learn technology. .
In fact, my dad still supports our schooling very much. Coupled with the fact that the family is not short of money, he sent me to the school of the girlfriend he had never met. I thought that there would be an earth-shattering, beautiful and beautiful story, but it turned out that it was a female netizen who was lying to me. There was nothing like that at all.
Later, I thought about it, I might have been cheated by the admissions officer, because at that time a group of admissions people came to the school, I also added the other party's QQ consultation, of course, the other side looks good.
I didn't stay at home after eating, and drove directly on the road. On the way, I called the consignee surnamed Zhao to confirm the address. The other party was a woman and had a nice voice. Maybe because I didn't deliver the goods on time, my tone was a bit cold.
She told me that the address was more detailed than that of the squinted man. Get off the expressway at Wulipu, go west, and turn left at the third intersection.
Because I hit an evil last night, I drove very carefully. As soon as it got dark, the speed did not reach 70 miles even on the highway.
At about nine o'clock, I got off the highway and walked along the road in the direction of Wulibao. It didn't take long to pass two intersections, but the third intersection did not appear after more than an hour.
On both sides of the road, there is not even a light in the wilderness. The squint man said that the delivery address is a seasoning factory, and it is normal for the factory to be built remotely, but this is too biased.
I was very clear-headed, and I didn't get sleepy all the way, and there was no sign of hitting evil, but I couldn't help but start playing drums in my heart.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and it was from the consignee surnamed Zhao.
I rushed through the phone and said, "Where is your address? Why can't I find the third intersection?"
"Did you go the wrong way?" she asked.
"Impossible. I followed the road you said, get off the expressway at Wulibao, go all the way to the west, and turn left at the third intersection."
"That's right. You go ahead."
I looked at the open space in front and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"
"At your current rate, there will be another half an hour." She said.
Hung up the phone, I scolded in my heart
The squint-eyed man, he walked for another half an hour, but he was a lot farther than he said at the beginning. At that time, he was a damn bargaining with me. This car was considered a loss.
The road was getting harder and harder to walk. The originally flat asphalt road became bumpy. After half an hour, I finally saw a dim light in front of me.
But when I approached, I was disappointed again.
On the roadside is a three-storey hotel. Under the dim light, there is a red-letter door on a black background with two words: hotel.
I parked the car on the side of the road and saw that it was already midnight. Did I use the high speed at around nine o'clock for so long
I was busy calling a woman surnamed Zhao, and it took a long time to get through, and the sound quality was very bad, like the sound of electricity passing through.
"Are you here?" she asked.
"No. I may be lost. I'm in front of an inn now."
"Hotel?"
"Yes, a three-story hotel."
"You have passed, walk back. Forget it, I'll send a car to pick up the goods. Just wait."
Although the other person’s tone was cold, I was still very grateful and said, "Okay, I'm sorry, then I will..."
Before finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
I sighed and lit a cigarette. After calculating the time, I expected that the other party should be there in about an hour. If I count the time for arranging the car, it would be fine to say an hour and a half to death.
When the other party picks up the goods and leaves, I can deal with it for one night at the hotel, and wait until dawn to go back.
Going night? Forget it, I can't tell the difference between east and west in this wilderness. If I go the wrong way, the gain is not worth the loss.
boom!
A slap on the car window, I was so scared that the smoke fell on my pants, and then I looked up and saw a dark face lying on the car window and looking in.
Bang bang! Two more shots.
"Brother, do you live in a store?" he asked.
I put down the window of the car, and finally saw the other person's appearance through the moonlight. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His mouth was a bit crooked, his eyes were big, and his face was pockmarked as if he had been bombarded.
"How much?"
"Single rooms are 50, double rooms are 70, Datong bunks a bed 20, and the public toilet can also take a bath."
"Where is this?" I asked.
"Wulipu."
"This Wulibao is really big enough. Do you have a seasoning factory here."
The shop owner gave me a quick look and asked, "Are you staying in the shop or asking for directions?"
"Stay in, and ask for directions by the way."
"Then you can stay in the store with peace of mind and ask for directions to tell you early in the morning." I was amused in my heart. The owner of this store has so many eyes, for fear that I will run away after asking for the way.
"Be cheaper." I habitually bargain.
"It's not cheap, now there are only general stores in the store, and the single and double rooms are full."
I glanced at the three-story hotel, then at the empty space in front of the building, and said, "There are no cars in front of the building, how can your store be full?"
"Why there is no car, not over there!"
Following the direction of the owner’s finger, I saw two white buses parked on one side of the hotel. Seeing me stunned, he was a little impatient and asked: "Can't you live it?"
I looked at the time and said, "Live!"
