After saying goodbye to his uncle and nephew Mo Jie, Li Xiao packed up his things and took Tuanzi on his journey to Dunhuang.
It was almost noon when we set off. Li Xiao followed Mo Jie's uncle and nephew to eat in the restaurant before leaving in the car.
Driving on the deserted road, Li Xiao once again lamented that the Jiuquan area was really not as dense as the cities he passed through before.
Perhaps it is partly due to the season. The cold wind howls and blows into people's faces. It would be better if they are among the crowd. But if a person is walking on the road, he will not be able to walk freely outside without wearing three pieces of clothing.
Just like when he came here, the wind on the road with no pedestrians blew some yellow sand and shrouded his car window. The difference was that without Mo Jie, a person who could occasionally provide a source of conversation, Li Xiao was driving the live broadcast alone, and there was a ride.
Traffic conditions are broadcast live without a hitch.
The heating in the car was turned on for a long time, making people feel drier. Li Xiao slowed down the car, took out a bottle of mineral water from next to the seat, opened it, and took a sip.
Not far away, there were police comrades checking for drunk driving ahead. Li Xiao was prepared in advance and slowed down the car even more.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred——
Li Xiao glanced at the rearview mirror inadvertently and saw a white Wuling wheel with its engine roaring and accelerating towards the checkpoint ahead.
The crooked driving route makes one imagine the state of the driver inside.
In front of Wuling, there were several traffic policemen standing guard. They were slightly panicked when they saw this scene, but they still blocked it with their own flesh and blood.
"Looks like we're in trouble."
Putting down the water bottle, Li Xiao gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed towards the Wuling.
"squeak--"
"boom--"
"Holy shit, you're looking for death!"
After a loud noise, a rough male voice came from inside the white Wuling car.
Several traffic policemen standing in front of the checkpoint came to the two colliding cars and rescued the two people from the car.
Because Li Xiao's car was lagging behind because of its heavy weight and speed, when it hit Wuling, the front of the car was hit, breaking the light bulb and rearview mirror at the back, and the whole piece of skin was pushed up. He also suffered some scratches on his right arm.
.
Before setting off, I fastened the seat belt on the dumpling box on a whim, so surprisingly I was not affected at this time.
Tuanzi, who was chewing on the teething stick, felt himself shaken and looked up at Li Xiao in confusion.
"Sir, are you okay?" A traffic policeman came to Li Xiao's car door with a worried look and helped him out of the car. After seeing the wound on his arm, he nervously pulled him out.
I went to treat the wound nearby.
Compared with the situation on Li Xiao's side, the Wuling car owner was very ugly.
His red face was full of anger, especially when he saw several traffic policemen beside his car with serious faces instructing him to get out of the car. He hammered the steering wheel angrily.
"Sir, we suspect you are driving drunk and charging your card maliciously. Please come down and cooperate with the inspection."
The smell of alcohol from a car hit your nose as soon as you got a little closer. After seeing the behavior of the driver in the car, the traffic policemen understood that he most likely wanted to deliberately rush the card to escape the car inspection, and they decided in their hearts to "investigate" this car.
violation of regulations.
After being pulled by the traffic policeman to treat his wounds, Li Xiao looked helpless as he pulled him to thank him: "If it weren't for you, we would probably be in trouble."
"Nothing, just think of it as a good deed." Li Xiao looked helpless at the traffic policeman who was so taken seriously that he wished he could just put on a few bandages, "Nothing happened to me, I just need to repair the car.
."
"I hope you won't punish me too."
"How could it be? It's too late for us to thank you!" The traffic policeman took Li Xiao's arm and looked like he wanted to give him a banner, "But we can't reimburse you for the car repair costs, no.
Sorry."
"It's okay." Li Xiao shook his head, "So can I leave now? I'm going to repair the car in a hurry."
"We hope you can help us record the situation and prove the driver's illegal behavior." Another traffic policeman came over and said to Li Xiao, "In view of the fact that his behavior was quite bad this time, he knew that he was driving drunk and wanted to force the card to be charged.
We will severely punish those who evade vehicle inspection and almost cause a car accident."
"Although we cannot reimburse you for the fare, we will handle the driver's fine as appropriate and use it as compensation for repairing the car."
"Thank you very much this time, sir." After the traffic policeman finished speaking, he gave Li Xiao a formal salute.
Li Xiao waved his hand, "It's okay if my car is hit by someone, but if you are hit, I don't know what will happen. It's just a matter of effort. After all, human life is much more important than the car."
Li Xiao here confessed to the traffic police that he acted bravely, but the driver over there was still yelling and refusing to cooperate.
"I just accidentally stepped on the wrong accelerator, so there's no need to punish me, right? And that kid came here specifically to hit my car. I didn't even ask him to compensate, so that's good enough! He's a fool...
"
Faced with the driver's cursing behavior, the traffic policeman smelled the odor of alcohol in the car and said with a serious face: "Sir, if you don't get out of the car and cooperate with the inspection, we can only take coercive measures."
"According to regulations, those who refuse to cooperate with serious circumstances will not only have their driver's license revoked, but also be detained for a certain number of days."
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing police car approached from far away.
Hearing the serious words of the traffic policeman, the driver turned pale and got out of the car reluctantly.
Li Xiao finished taking notes for the traffic police and found the nearest repair shop on the map. After leaving his contact information for the traffic police, he drove his half-broken car to the repair shop.
The live broadcast room is still scared because of the thrilling scene just now:
"Anchor, are you okay? At the speed just now, you only bruised your arm. You're really lucky!"
"How can we still encounter this kind of thing in this great country of Han!"
"The driver's quality is so poor. Could it be that he slipped through the nine-year obligation?"
"It feels like the age of the driver just now seems to be that he has not yet enjoyed compulsory education."
"No wonder, it's so pitiful."
"Speaking of which, is the anchor really okay? Why not go to the hospital for a checkup? If something happens, you can ask the driver to compensate for the medical expenses."
Seeing so many comments about him on the screen, Li Xiao felt warm in his heart and shook his head: "I'm fine. I'm still alive and kicking. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere else in my body..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiao only heard the car vibrate, and then the sound of air leakage was heard.
"I seem to have bad luck."
The tire burst.
Feeling that the car was driving more and more strangely, Li Xiao was afraid that the air in the tire was leaking quickly. Li Xiao had no choice but to get out of the car and check the tire.
A tack is stuck firmly in the tire, which looks quite glaring.
"Whose tack is lying so wickedly in the middle of the road?" Li Xiao complained. I don't know if it was an accident or a coincidence, but it just happened to have a tire blowout on the way to the repair shop?
Because of the flat tire, Li Xiao spent almost half an hour on the road to the repair shop that was originally a ten-minute drive away.
Part of the reason was that there were not enough rearview mirrors, so he drove a lot more cautiously.
When he came to the repair shop, he found that there were three or four cars being repaired. Before Li Xiao could look at the car, he was stopped by a man with a greasy face.
"Brother, do you want to repair your car?" Compared with the cars repaired in the store, the car Li Xiao drove looked more obviously damaged. The man asked with a look on his face that he couldn't hide.
Happy.
"Yes, how long do we have to wait?" Li Xiao thought to himself, even if he came to do business, he would never be so complacent in front of customers. Such an obvious mouth corner made people feel uncomfortable.
"It won't be long, it will be fine soon. You can park the car first." The man was afraid that Li Xiao would drive the car away and lose the business, so he kept inviting, "Our car repair prices here are high quality and low price. We guarantee your satisfaction."
.”
After all, there was only one repair shop nearby, and finding the next one was not only time-consuming but also energy-consuming. Li Xiao drove the car to the shop without any further hesitation.
After locking everything in the car and getting out of the car with the dumplings in his arms, Li Xiao suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
He asked the maintenance man who was checking the car's condition about the location of the toilet, and walked directly in the direction he said.
After solving his physical problems, Li Xiao washed his hands in the wash basin and listened to the discussion of the people next to him.
"Why do you think it's so strange? I asked around and almost every car owner came to have their tires repaired."
"Yeah, this is too rare. It's a bit weird that so many cars have the same problem."
As they talked, they looked at Li Xiao and asked, "Brother, are you here to repair the car too? What's wrong with the car?"
"I was in a small car accident, and my tire blew out on the way here. Misfortunes never come singly, hey." Li Xiao sighed, looking as if he shared their bitterness and hatred.
"I'm delivering goods. I've never walked this road before. No, I wanted to take a shortcut, but I ended up being so unlucky that a nail punctured the tire. It's okay now. The goods couldn't be delivered on time. Let's fix it.
I still have to pay for the car." The man said and gritted his teeth angrily, "If I knew that someone deliberately caused this kind of thing, I would have to make that person walk around without food!"
"Listening to what you said, I also doubt whether the tire blowout was a man-made accident." Li Xiao concentrated, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment.
On the wall of the bathroom stall, there was a box of things placed in the corner, but it inexplicably attracted Li Xiao's attention.
"You think, if evidence is found that this store did something good, should we have the car repaired and call the police first, or should we just call the police with the evidence?" Li Xiao asked the two of them calmly.
"Brother, have you found the evidence?" The irritable man at the beginning suddenly rolled up his sleeves and was grabbed by his arm by his companion next to him. "Brother, we are now a society ruled by law. We don't want to be the same as before. Calm down."
Let’s have a nice talk and just call the police.”
The man was persuaded, but his face was still full of anger: "Even if we just call the police, I will tell this store within a hundred miles of the good things they have done to see if they dare to make money and lose people like this next time."
Li Xiao pointed to the two people about the box of things he saw on the wall, with uncertainty in his tone: "Although my intuition tells me that this is the store, I still want to see if I can find evidence."
The grumpy man jumped up, picked up the box, opened the lid and opened it to several people——
A box full of tacks.
"Call the police." Li Xiao said.
the other side.
While the owner of the repair shop was still gloating about the turnover he was about to earn today, he heard the sound of police cars coming from outside.
He didn't think much, and looked at the money received in his mobile phone with great satisfaction, until he heard crisp footsteps in the store.
"Do you want to repair your car? The service in our store is first-rate and the price is fair..." Seeing the visitor's attire, the smile on the boss's face froze.
"We received a report that your store was suspected of deliberately destroying other people's property, scattering tacks on the road, puncturing other people's cars, and inducing them to come to your store to make purchases. Is this the case?" the police officer held up the police officer in his hand.
To prove it, ask the boss righteously.
"Well... everything depends on evidence, don't you think so, police officer?" The boss was a little unsure, but he was thinking: Maybe someone happened to want to test the innocence of the store? As long as he doesn't get caught, it doesn't matter.
what the hell……
"Comrade police, please help me check. This box of tacks is similar to the one on my tire. I also need to trouble you to call the surveillance camera on the highway... I got a punctured tire on the xx section.
Thank you."
The boss turned around and saw that the young driver driving a car with a damaged front was holding a box of very familiar tacks and told the police in a calm and smooth tone, which made the boss feel a chill in his back.
It's over. That was the only thing in his mind.
The boss was taken away for investigation. The maintenance masters didn't know whether to continue the project at hand and looked at each other.
"You can continue to repair." Li Xiao said to the masters, "As long as you are not involved in this matter, you will not be punished in any way. If the boss doesn't want to pay you wages for his own reasons, what will happen?
Keep reporting him."
Hearing Li Xiao's words, the maintenance master glanced at him silently, lowered his head and continued to work on the matter at hand, still trying to clarify the relationship: "We don't know what the boss is doing, and we have always been doing repairs in the shop peacefully.
Guest, please don’t say bad things about us in front of comrades in the police."
"I only talked about the discovery of the tack." Li Xiao shook his head. As for whether these masters knew about it or were involved, only highway monitoring can tell clearly.
Viewers in the live broadcast room watched one thing after another and began to lament Li Xiao's "luck":
"So are our anchors lucky or unlucky?"
"If you're lucky, the anchor won't have to pay a penny for the repair costs this time and he'll still receive a tip from the boss."
"If we are unlucky, then our anchor's car will break down and the tire will burst. It will be really unlucky!"
