We finally got into this car, the car that became the car, and Master said we couldn't wait any longer and had to take it.
It was just a small truck pulling goods, only slightly larger than a double-cab. In order to stop it, Master stood directly in the middle of the road with his arms spread out. When the car braked suddenly, it was only 5 meters away from Master.
"We can't wait any longer. It's best to leave here as early as possible, but on such a remote road, drivers are generally unwilling to stop and pick up people, so..." When we saw the small truck behind us clearly, Master said He said such words to me, then rushed off the road, and while I was stunned, I stopped the car abruptly.
Then, under Master's instruction, we almost forced ourselves to open the car door and get into someone else's car. The driver's face was pale and he thought he had been robbed.
But we got on this bus and ended up not going to Xiangxi. Instead, we headed towards Chengdu, the provincial capital of Kawachi.
Master said that this is a calculation that is not as good as God's calculation. The plan he made at the beginning did not take into account the factor of money. Now he had to change his plan temporarily and go to Chengdu first, just for the sake of money.
But I said that Master has been a Taoist priest who "doesn't eat the fireworks of the world" for too long. No matter how careful the plan was, I didn't expect that it would have to be changed because of money.
However, these are things for later.
Needless to say about the process on the road, in short, the driver was not originally going to Chengdu, but drove an empty car to Hunan. However, due to Master's "fooling", he temporarily changed the route to Chengdu.
I have to admit that Master is very good at speaking. Under his "sweet words", he actually promised to give another driver a reward of 2,000 yuan. The driver who thought he had been robbed actually listened to Master's words and actually went there. Chengdu.
In that era, 00 yuan was the monthly salary of many white-collar workers, which was a lot.
I was worried about being chased all the way, but I was not as worried as Master when he said this to others. We couldn't even get two cents out, let alone 00 yuan? And the driver would believe it when he saw what we were wearing
But the driver not only believed it, but also lent his mobile phone to the master to make a call. I asked the master who he was calling, and the master said directly: "Secret."
I looked helplessly out of the window. In fact, I knew it was because the driver was there and it was difficult for Master to talk. But I didn’t care about it anymore... I was so hungry that I was numb. But after the disaster, the wind blew from the window. The cool wind makes people feel so happy.
-----------Dividing line------------
After driving for a day, the car finally arrived in Chengdu.
During this day, I followed Master silently and followed the driver to eat and drink. Master said, pay double the meal money to others, and speak sincerely.
In short, within one day, I silently calculated that not only did we not have half a dime on us, but we also owed an estimated 2,500 yuan. I almost cried silently in my heart, but how can a hungry person withstand food? The temptation was so great that he wolfed down what Master was eating, and the driver was stunned.
I guess the driver must have had some doubts in his heart at the moment he watched us eat our faces, but he had no choice but to continue to believe.
Chengdu, this city is not only not unfamiliar to me, on the contrary, it is also very familiar to me because my temporary home is here.
But I haven’t been back for a long time, and I don’t know... I believe that Surou is taking care of everything for me... When I get here, I have too many ways to get money, including going home, maybe... I could find a bankbook with money, but because of Yang Sheng, I didn't dare to go back at all.
As for Su Rou, he is even richer. When he was in Zhulin Xiaozhu, even he and I talked about how much money he had. I feel that so and so is right. After a certain level, money is just a number. .
Well, so-and-so. Anyway, I forgot who it was. But no matter how rich Surou was, I didn’t dare to go to him. The reason naturally doesn’t need to be elaborated on.
On the contrary, I was still worried about him. He fled in a hurry that day. Did Su Rou follow them or return to normal life? I have no news at all now. The only thing I am sure of is that Yang Sheng does not dare to make crispy pork. After all, he is just an ordinary person.
In short, when we got closer to Chengdu, my thoughts were all messed up, and I really couldn’t figure out why Master came to Chengdu when all my acquaintances might be under surveillance.
While I was thinking about it, the car was already approaching the edge of Chengdu city. It was relatively quiet here, but from a distance I saw a low-key luxury car parked on the roadside... The reason why I recognized it was a luxury car. Cars, because I am somewhat interested in cars even though I am bored on weekdays.
Why is this car parked here? While I was still wondering, our car had already approached the luxury car, and the door of the luxury car had been opened. A man got out of the car and waved for us to stop.
The man was tall and tall, and he was wearing a suit and leather shoes in such a hot weather. However, I took a look and found that I didn’t recognize this person at all. Instead, the master calmly shouted: "Stop!"
The driver stopped the car with some confusion. In that era, private cars were far less common than today. Even if the driver didn't recognize what kind of car it was, he certainly didn't expect us to associate with someone who looked like he was rich.
As soon as the car stopped, my master got out of the car. The tall man stepped aside, but an old man with a cane came out of the car. When he saw my master, he bowed and clasped his fists and spoke. Just one sentence: "Master Jiang!"
The master supported him and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to be so polite.
The man turned to look at me again, and then suddenly smiled at me and said: "To put it this way, I have had more contact with Chengyi. The first time he was just a little baby, I still remember that time He was wearing khaki clothes, and he..."
At this time, I already recognized who this person was, so I quickly stepped forward and called out "Uncle Yun, long time no see", interrupting his words. The khaki clothes were simply an unbearable memory, which verified the weirdness of Master. My ability to appreciate is probably because I was bullied as a child because I was not sensible and did not understand appreciation.
It’s hard for me to recall what it felt like to wear it at that time, and I hope others don’t think I’m a moving lump of earth.
It turned out that the master was looking for him, Yun Xiaobao. Of course I remembered him. The first time I entered the provincial capital, I came into contact with him during the jade selling incident that left a deep impression on me. Later, I remember that Surou and I went to expose a fake Taoist priest who was cheating money, and we also had contact with him once.
Once upon a time, when we first met, he was still a middle-aged man, and now he is an old man. People have to lament the ruthlessness of time. Many things have changed in just a blink of an eye.
"Master Jiang, Chengyi, since we've been waiting for you, let's go. Get in the car, get in the car, this time we have to have a good talk." Yun Xiaobao was exceptionally enthusiastic, but at this time, someone was out of place. 's coughed.
When I saw it, wasn't it our big creditor, the 'driver' who was actually a pretty good person
What kind of person is Yun Xiaobao? Maybe by looking at the clothes my master and I were wearing, we had already guessed something about our embarrassing situation. Without waiting for my master to say anything, he winked at the tall man who was carrying He took out a bundle of money tied up directly from his bag and stuffed it into the driver's hand in a polite manner.
The stack of money was a standard 10,000 yuan. The driver was suddenly stunned when he held the money, but Yun Xiaobao took two steps forward and said in a gentle and polite tone: "These two are important people in our family." My friend can be called a distinguished guest. Thank you very much for taking care of me all the way. The money is not much and it cannot match your friendship, but you should accept it at least. It is a small thank you from me."
The driver was still a little silly, but the master patted him on the shoulder, laughed, and said: "Then just keep it. Compared with icing on the cake, it is more valuable to provide help when it is timely, even though I scared you at first. .”
The driver finally came to his senses slowly and whispered: "Did I meet a rich man and visit him privately?"
Master and I didn't say anything more. I stepped forward and said thank you to the driver, and got into Yun Xiaobao's car with Master. I had to admire Yun Xiaobao's skill in handling things. His wrists and even the meat looked childish in front of him.
I also thought that Master just wanted to find Yun Xiaobao to solve some financial problems. After all, they were just ordinary people, but what I didn't expect was... .
