1. Drive at night(1/2)

Jiangzhou is a city that cannot be said to be big, nor is it small. It is said that it is not big because it is not at the same level as Kyoto and the Magic City, and it is even far behind the Ice City and Liudu. It is not small because

After all, it is the seat of the provincial capital. Although it is not comparable to first-tier cities in some aspects, the nightlife is equally colorful and there is no room for compromise.

The hustle and bustle during the day did not subside with the sun's break. When the moon went due south, the people who had had enough wine and food began to vent their anger again. People who were used to the bright neon lights had long forgotten

As the old saying goes, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The cars whizzing by on the street are mixed with the drunken noises and screams of men and women. The street lights and neon lights on the roadside have not yet found their home.

People's faces are reflected in colorful colors, red, green, white...

Night, for some people, is the end of a tiring day, but for others, it is just the beginning of a day of life. Of course, some people do it to enjoy life, while some people simply do it to live.

Tan Xuan parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door, and sat in the car taking advantage of the cool summer night breeze while fiddling with his mobile phone and complaining that he shouldn't have taken the job of seeing someone off at the train station. If he were elsewhere, at this time

He has already completed a few orders, but there are more wolves than meat at the train station, so it is difficult for him to get a job like online car-hailing. If there was not a high-speed train coming soon to try his luck, he would not be waiting here long ago.

At this time, near the exit of the train station, there are two clearly separated areas for taxis and online ride-hailing. One is a huge team, and the other is barely a team. Those who also make a living by soliciting passengers also have a chain of contempt, and those who drive taxis look down on them.

In the eyes of taxi drivers, those who drive online ride-hailing cars are just a group of people who originally drove black cars with a different name. Those who drive online ride-hailing cars look down on those who drive on behalf of others. After all, they still have cars, and those people

It is purely a "white wolf with empty gloves".

At 10:50, the exit of the station began to be crowded with people. Drivers who had been making jokes in groups of three and two all rushed to the exit. In an instant, the exit was surrounded by water.

The area near the station entrance became noisier than the wet market.

"Beauty, do you want to take a car?"

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Anyone going to the East Market?"



Tan Xuan did not get out of the car and was still playing with his mobile phone. Each line had its own rules. He could not cross the line, otherwise he would easily be blocked by a group of taxis. He could only wait for someone to place an order.

, or if the taxi is too busy, you can pick up a missed passenger.

The cars leaving the station left one after another, but Tan Xuan still didn't wait for the dispatch. There were fewer and fewer people leaving the station, but there were still many cars on the roadside, and only a handful of them were left.

Several groups of people were discussing the price with the driver, and some empty cars had already begun to leave. Tan Xuan knew that his wait was in vain.

"Master, do you want your car to go?"

When I was closing the car door at Tanxuanguan and preparing to move my position, someone knocked on the right car window and asked.

Tan Xuan did not show any joy, he just pressed down the car window, looked at the young girl outside the car who bent over and looked in, and said: "Aren't there taxis out front? Ask them, this is an online car-hailing service.

"

"The place I am going to is far away and they won't go. Can you go?" the girl said with a pleading look on her face.

"Far? How far?" Tan Xuan asked. He had noticed the girl a long time ago. She asked about all the cars in front of her. Unexpectedly, she asked him about it now. He also knew that he was surrounded by a group of people.

What good can people do with the rest? Even though they didn’t say anything, they were already somewhat resistant in their hearts.

"I'm going to Tongyu County." The girl whispered with longing eyes.

"What? Tongyu County!" Tan Xuan shouted, and then shook his head vigorously, "Sorry, I can't go either. You should ask others." With that, Tan Xuan began to close the car window. Now

He finally understood why she was rejected by so many people, and that was not a long time ago.

"Don't..." the girl yelled, then put her hands directly into the car, preventing the window from closing, and begged: "Brother, there are no other cars behind me. I'm in a hurry to go home. Please, okay."

?I can give you double the price."

Tan Xuan looked at the girl again and saw that she was young, with a delicate face and a tall figure. However, her face was full of sadness. It was obvious that something was really urgent, otherwise she would not be alone in the middle of the night.

The train rushed out of the city. Tan Xuan did not refuse again because he was worried about other people's needs, especially because he could still make money.

"It's okay to only go as far as Tongyu County. I can't go down there because I'm not familiar with the roads at night."

"Just to the county seat of Tongyu County." Before Tan Xuan finished speaking, the girl answered hastily, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly change his mind.

"Tongyu County is more than 100 kilometers away from Jiangzhou. We take the expressway first, then the national highway, and finally there is a section of provincial highway. Including tolls, it costs about 300. It will probably take an empty car to come back in the middle of the night. You have to give me 500 yuan.

Only then can I go."

"Okay, okay, no problem." The girl didn't hesitate, opened the small bag she was carrying and took out the money.

Tan Xuan didn't let the girl pay for it on the side of the road. He leaned forward and opened the car door. "Get in the car. Just pay when you get there."

"Okay, thank you." The girl was honest. She put her backpack back obediently and sat sideways in the passenger seat. Without Tan Xuan saying anything, she pulled up the seat belt and buckled it on herself, and Tan Xuan immediately started the car.

.

The car gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle, and also gradually away from the bright lights. After a while, there were only cars and no people left on the roadside. When we got onto the Ring Expressway, it was like being plunged directly into darkness. Only a few or two other vehicles were still there.

Proclaiming that they are not alone.

The car was very quiet. One of the two people in the car was driving, and the other was looking out of the car. Occasionally, he looked down at his cell phone, so as not to interfere with each other. The host's joking voice on the radio did not stir up any atmosphere, but the time

As time went by, the eagerness on the girl's face became more and more obvious.

Finally, Tan Xuan broke the silence in the car and asked: "You are in a hurry to go home so late. Is there something urgent at home?"

The girl didn't speak, she just shook her head, lowered her head and turned on her phone and looked at it twice. The corners of her eyes flashed a little, then she quickly turned her head and looked outside the car again.

It was pitch dark outside the car, and there was nothing to see. Tan Xuan caught a glimpse of the girl looking at the photos on her phone, and based on her state, he made a guess in his mind, so he ran out of words and said, "You are brave enough.

Not only taking a train alone, but also taking a taxi out of the city in the middle of the night and taking a secret taxi, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"

The girl turned to look at Tan Xuan, was silent for a while and asked, "Are you a bad person?"

Before Tan Xuan could answer, the girl rolled her eyes at Tan Xuan, curled her lips, and shook her phone at Tan Xuan, "You think I'm stupid? I sent your license plate to my friends before I got in the car. Now,

This is a society ruled by law. If I do something bad, you can't escape at all. If you want to do something bad, you have to consider the consequences first."

"Haha..." Tan Xuan smiled and shook his head. Unexpectedly, he had been prepared for it, and deliberately attacked: "Which bad person thinks about the consequences before doing bad things. If he knows it is illegal and doesn't do it, then he is still called a bad person? Hey!

Haven't you seen the news? How many girls have lost contact for no reason, especially the good-looking ones. If something happens, even if the case is solved, you will still be the victim, and even if justice is served, you won't be able to see it..."

"Ah..." The girl was stunned. When she looked at Tan Xuan again, her eyes were obviously panicked, and she quietly leaned towards the car door.

Seeing that the girl was scared, Tan Xuan felt much better, so he stopped as soon as he was satisfied.

"You don't have to worry today. It's impossible for bad people to tell you this. Bad people usually only see money or lust. You... you are quite safe."

"you……"

Tan Xuan's comforting words were really refreshing. What does it mean to be safe when you are not even qualified to be cared about by bad people? This is too insulting. The angry girl gritted her teeth and glared at Tan Xuan. It was a pity that she was in the car.

The light was limited, so Tan Xuan didn't see it at all, otherwise the murderous look in his eyes would have cut Tan Xuan into pieces with a thousand knives.

Tan Xuan knew that his words had made people unhappy, so he explained with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that there are no cars along the way, and having someone to talk to can relieve the boredom."

"I'm sick!" the girl muttered in a low voice, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shocked and annoyed, the girl's mood eased a lot. Although there was still anxiety in her eyes, the sadness on her face had been mostly washed away. The girl counted out five hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to Tan Xuan, still speaking in a bad tone.

: "Hey, I'll give you the fare. Don't mince words. You'll worry later that I don't have the money to give you."

"What you said is wrong. I didn't rush you. Why are you in a hurry?" He said, but Tan Xuan was not slow at all and did not give the girl a chance to be polite again.

The car became quiet again, but it was different from the silence just now. This time, Tan Xuan was driving, but the girl looked at Tan Xuan without any hesitation, as if she wanted to regain some face in this way.

Tan Xuan was looked at very unnaturally, especially this late at night, and there was such a person staring at him with wide eyes. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head and glared at the girl, and shouted with a straight face: "What are you looking at?"

?”

"Look what's going on? Don't go out if you're afraid of being seen." Although the man next to him is not very handsome, he is very young, has a sharp face, and is so handsome that he doesn't look like a person with bad intentions, so the girl is more or less mature.

Confidence.

"Are you calling my number? Believe it or not, I will suffer a loss and make you regret it for the rest of your life." Tan Xuan pretended to be a little fierce.

"You dare! Try it." The girl did not give in at all, and deliberately raised her chest provocatively. Under the restraints of the seat belt, she further showed off her not very obvious figure.

"Tch, I won't be fooled by you." Tan Xuan didn't dare to look any further and immediately pretended to be serious and drove the car.

Tan Xuan was timid, and the girl gave up as soon as she was satisfied. She leaned back in the seat and stared blankly at the small brightness in front of the car and the shriveled face reflected in the glass.

After a moment of silence, the girl turned to look at Tan Xuan again, "Looking at how young you are, why don't you find a serious job and become a black truck driver?"

Tan Xuan was dissatisfied with the title of "black car driver." He corrected him: "Miss, I formally declare to you that I am an online ride-hailing driver, registered on a regular platform, and I do not drive a black car."

"You're still booking a ride online?" The girl snorted disdainfully, "I didn't place an order online for my ride in your car, so you're talking about a formal platform?"

"This..." Tan Xuan was unable to refute.

"You just accepted cash, right? Does your platform support cash payments?" the girl continued sarcastically, "Just drive a black car. Why are you so secretive? I can't report you. At least you are better than those who drive taxis."

It’s much better, but they actually refused to take me there and looked disgusted. If I wasn’t in a hurry to get home, I would have reported them.”

Being used to bluffs, Tan Xuan smiled and said nothing.

The girl then asked: "Why did I ask about so many buses at the train station? The drivers were very enthusiastic at first, but then they heard that I didn't even go to Tongyu? I was also willing to pay more for the fare. Why?"

Yes, are you still worried about the long way to go by taxi?"

"What laborer is afraid of the long journey, and it's not like he won't be paid." Tan Xuan replied.

The girl was even more puzzled, "Then why don't they go? Are they all fools if they don't make money? Or are they afraid that making too much money will scald their hands?"

Tan Xuan chuckled and replied: "They are afraid that the road is too far and they will not be able to go back."
