"Name?"
"Lu Xin."
"Where did it come from?"
"Qinggang."
"What identity?"
"The youngest director of the business department of Deep Business City West Branch of Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City."
"Um... where to go?"
"Tinder City."
"doing what?"
"… closing payment and visiting friends."
"… "
When he came to the agent's office in this chaotic place, Lu Xin realized that it seemed to be different from what he thought.
He thought that the agent was just an agent, just say a word, pay some money, and get the approval slip and go on the road.
Unexpectedly, the scale is not small.
In a dilapidated town, there is a brand-new building with painted walls, and a group of people with guns are here to give comments. Next to the town, there is a tall and strict checkpoint, and through the checkpoint, it is a flat and spacious "cargo lane". .
Pay the money and get the approval slip, and you can go straight to the road.
So he honestly lined up, came to pay the money honestly, and answered questions honestly.
"Closing payment and visiting friends?"
The person in charge of inspecting Lu Xin's car was a middle-aged man with a crooked hat and a gun in his arms, with a cigarette in his mouth, which Lu Xin respected just now. I don't know if the buttons on the chest are intentional or what, but they are not aligned up and down, crooked and crooked, and the temperament is very precise. While asking Lu Xin various questions lazily, he looked at his car.
He was slightly surprised when he heard Lu Xin's answer.
Such a reason seems to be rarely heard.
But he didn't ask any more, he just squinted at Lu Xin, and then continued to ask, "Do you have an official identity?"
"Official identity?"
Lu Xin was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
He is in Qinggang and belongs to the Special Pollution Removal Department, which is an official status.
But the existence of this special pollution has never really been made public. So this identity is somewhat unconventional. In addition, this time he came out, it was a personal matter, not a business, and of course it was not an official identity.
He is the youngest director of the business department of the Deep Business City West Branch of Qinggang No. 2 Satellite City.
"No official status..."
The other party glanced at him again and said, "Then do you have any faith?"
"Belief?"
Lu Xin was a little stunned again, how to answer this question.
He understood that what the other party asked should be similar to the real church or something.
The Chaos Land was originally a complex and varied faction. Now, it seems that religious has become an identity.
But if speaking strictly speaking, I have had some dealings with the believers in my real hometown, but I am not familiar with it, let alone belief, so I pondered for a while, and I can only honestly confess to the other party: "No What beliefs…”
As soon as he answered this, the other party was a little surprised, and looked at Lu Xin up and down again.
After a while, he asked, "Are there any acquaintances here?"
"this… "
Lu Xin subconsciously wanted to say yes, isn't it an acquaintance with the village chief who is close to two meters away
But on second thought, what was his name
Seeing that he was at a loss for words, the other party had already agreed, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Looking down at the record on the list, he looked up at Lu Xin again, and said, "You have neither official background nor belief, you don't even have an acquaintance here, and you don't follow the team, you drive alone. Did the car run over?"
Lu Xin was startled for a moment and said, "Have you broken the law?"
"Don't break the law, don't break the law..."
Crooked hat smiled happily and said, "We welcome you like this."
Saying that, he lightly kicked Lu Xin's modified off-road feet, and said, "Is there no contraband in it?"
"No no."
Lu Xin immediately denied that he was not that kind of person.
There are a lot of guns hidden in the modified off-road, but guns are not considered contraband in the wilderness, so this is also true.
The other party seemed to judge from Lu Xin's expression, and felt that he was not lying.
Or rather, I didn't really care.
Therefore, after a circle, he stopped checking, but raised his chin slightly and said directly to Lu Xin, "Three thousand."
Lu Xin didn't react for a while: "What?"
The other party laughed, blew a smoke ring, and said, "Tolls, three thousand."
As he spoke, he spread out his palm, shook it up and down, and said, "Pay the money, get the note, and go on your way."
"What the hell
Lu Xin's head hummed in disbelief: "What's the matter, only three thousand?"
"I'm alone..."
"I didn't bring any goods, and I didn't do any business, just one person and one car, and the toll is so high?"
"… "
"Yes."
The other party saw that Lu Xin was a little anxious, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he said, "It is because you are alone, you have no official background, you don't belong to any sect, and you don't even have an acquaintance here. I'll charge you three thousand..."
"The Guard is Here"
"But next time you come over, even if you have acquaintances, you can find me directly, and you can get a discount..."
"… "
"you… "
Lu Xin also heard what the other party meant. He was angry, but he suppressed it.
Remaining calm, trying to reason with the other party, he smiled and said, "Is this not in line with your rules?"
Since Tinder has regulations for agents to approve slips, Lu Xin believes that they must have a set of standards for how much they charge tolls and how to charge them. Single-person bicycles are just on the road, how could they have to pay such a high fee all of a sudden
But in the face of his question, the other party suddenly raised his face: "What I said is the rule."
Lu Xin stopped talking, he didn't like this kind of unreasonable dialogue.
Wei Wei pondered for a while, but he still took a step back, took another cigarette, and said, "Captain, let's be patient..."
"I really don't have that much money on me..."
"… "
"Hehe, driving such a car, you say you have no money on you?"
Crooked hat listened to Lu Xin's words, laughed twice, glanced at Lu Xin's off-road, and said, "The car is not bad."
"?"
Lu Xin obviously didn't understand.
The crooked hat sneered, nodded his chin in the distance, and said, "Did you see that over there?"
Lu Xin followed and saw that there were old cars piled up beside the wall.
Some tires are shriveled, and some are just an empty shell.
The crooked hat smiled and said, "If you have to say that you have no money, we will not make it difficult for you."
"Leave your car, pick one that can drive from there, and you'll have to pay the toll.
"… "
"How does this work?"
Lu Xin frowned slightly, took the cigarette he handed over, and put it in his mouth.
Then, out of his bag, he took out the antique lighter that his friend in Canterlot gave him with a scalpel, and slowly lit it. The crooked hat was obviously knowledgeable. When he saw Lu Xin's lighter, his eyes were slightly straight.
"Captain, you are going too far..."
Lu Xin also lit a cigarette while thinking slowly and said, "I can't cross the road, you want my car..."
The crooked hat sneered and gave Lu Xin a sideways look: "What do you want?"
"I want to follow the rules..."
With the last hope, Lu Xin said to him.
"I'm talking about the rules."
The face of the crooked hat suddenly became a little gloomy, he pulled the gun muzzle on his chest, aimed at Lu Xin, and sneered:
"The opportunity is given to you, but you pretend not to understand, if you just refuse to pay..."
"Guess where those unwanted cars by the wall came from?"
"… "
Lu Xin understood, looked up at the muzzle, and did not evade.
His face also became serious, and he slowly said: "If you have to do this, then I have to complain to your leaders..."
"?"
The expression of the crooked hat is obviously a little confused.
They all froze for a moment before laughing, glanced at Lu Xin, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Captain."
On a hill where a pile of goods was stacked not far away, a man wearing sunglasses and playing cards stretched out his head and looked over.
Crooked hat smiled: "Someone wants to report me."
Lu Xin also looked up at him and said, "Leader, he will charge me 3,000 tolls, otherwise he will detain my car."
The man wearing sunglasses was also stunned for a moment. He glanced at Lu Xin, but did not answer his words. Instead, he looked at the crooked hat, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and said, "Don't be a motherfucker. , you know the rules, you will bring two thousand over here."
"Okay, Captain."
Crooked hat nodded and bowed, then looked at Lu Xin and said, "Did you hear that?"
"Your report, my three thousand has become one thousand, so your toll is three thousand, and it has become five thousand."
"… "
When it came to the end, the eyes with some hangover bloodshot eyes had already narrowed.
rustling…
Several people around with guns hanging around saw that something was going on here, and they all came over with a smile. Some people were playing with pistols, and some people looked around, picked up a wooden stick, and blew the rusted iron nails on the wooden stick.
It can be seen that there is some dark red powder on the iron nail, and I don't know if it is blood that has dried up.
The atmosphere changes as soon as it changes. Under such a big sun, there seems to be a dangerous aura floating around.
"In this case… "
There was no expression on Lu Xin's face, he just lowered his head and pondered, as if he was going through some difficult thinking.
Then he said, "Can I not go this way?"
He looked at the crooked hat, as if making his last prayers to him.
Crooked hat's face was full of impatience, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but Lu Xin suddenly raised his hand and stopped him.
"Needless to say, I understand."
As he said that, he pointed to his off-road and said, "Can I go up and think about it?"
Crooked hat glanced at Cross Country, thinking he was going up to get money. In addition, there were so many roadblocks around, and he was not afraid of what he would do, so he nodded indifferently. It's just that the submachine gun hanging on his chest was clenched tightly, and the muzzle was aimed at Lu Xin's back.
Lu Xin was not afraid that he would shoot in the back, opened the car door calmly, and sat up.
…
…
"Hehehe, the rules can't go on, what are you going to do?"
In the back seat of the car, my father sounded gloomy and gloating, as if looking at Lu Xin with excitement.
"Rules are the crystallization of human wisdom. If people follow the rules, they can live well..."
Lu Xin sighed, inserted the key, and his voice was slightly puzzled: "But why don't they cherish such a good thing?"
"I can't live anymore, it's not too much to grab some..."
"Then, it's reasonable not to obey the rules that keep people alive, right?"
"… "
While talking, he suddenly started the car, pulled a gear, and stepped on the accelerator.
