On a road leading from the county town to the village, the road was muddy. At this time, a tricycle rolled over and its goods were scattered all over the ground.
Lu Ning stood next to the tricycle. At this time, he was already wet all over, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. He tried hard to lift the tricycle out of the ditch.
Unfortunately, the tricycle didn't move at all.
If it were an ordinary tricycle, it wouldn't be too heavy.
But at this time, the tricycle is full of goods, so we can't just throw all the goods on the ground.
Half of it has been spread, and the other half cannot be spread again.
I looked up and saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
"Forget it, I can only call someone."
Lu Ning first put the still usable goods that had fallen on the ground back into the tricycle. Then he looked around and found an abandoned thatched hut not far away. He ran towards the thatched hut in the rain.
When he arrived at the hut, he found that it was simple and leaky, but fortunately it could keep out the rain.
He immediately took out his cell phone and started calling the store.
"Hey, boss, my delivery truck overturned. It encountered a ditch and rolled over. Yes, it's on the road outside Xiaomian Village now. The goods haven't been delivered yet, and half of the goods have fallen to the ground."
After making the call, the boss said that he would arrange for a colleague to come over and assist Lu Ning later.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ning shook his body under the eaves of the thatched hut. The few showers he had just taken had already soaked his inner clothes. Now his whole body was wet. If he was blown by the wind again, it would not be too pleasant.
Boom.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning exploded in the air not far away. Lu Ning trembled all over. The sound was deafening.
In a daze, he saw that the lightning struck something in mid-air, and then a spark flew towards him.
His eyes lit up and he subconsciously avoided it.
But my whole body was still agitated, as if my whole body had been electrocuted, and the hair on my head stood on end.
Not surprisingly, Lu Ning's limbs became stiff and he fell down.
Lu Ning fell into a coma with his eyes closed tightly, and a strange scene appeared.
In the middle of his forehead, a slanting Z-shaped lightning mark appeared. The mark was golden mixed with purple, and it flashed away.
Lu Ning woke up before he had been unconscious for two minutes.
His eyes also had golden and purple lights, but they soon faded.
"I was just struck unconscious by lightning?"
Lu Ning felt incredible. There were very few people who could be struck by lightning. The most rare thing was that they were not struck to death.
"I didn't do anything bad."
"Hey, this is it."
But soon, he no longer worried about whether he was struck by lightning, because he discovered something abnormal in his body.
It seemed that he was blessed in his soul, or that he was born with knowledge. He suddenly knew that he seemed to be different.
There seemed to be a voice in his mind telling him over and over again, as if instinctively, letting him know that he had the ability to obtain all living things.
As long as you touch it, you can gain the abilities of all creatures.
"Is it true?"
This instinct is like suddenly one day, you know that you don't need to breathe and can hold your breath underwater all the time.
Your first reaction is disbelief.
You’ll know if you try it.
His eyes quickly searched inside the hut.
There was a spider spinning a web on the wall, a dragonfly perched on the top of the grass not far away, a line of ants looking for food on the ground, and some unknown insects flying in the grass.
There aren't many things in the countryside, but there are a lot of bugs.
"It's just you."
Lu Ning squatted in front of the ant team, watching the ants make up their minds.
Anyone who has read popular science knows that ants can lift objects that are at least fifty times heavier than themselves. If you can get as much strength as an ant, you won't instantly transform into a superman.
I saw him stretching out his finger and gently touching the body of one of the most majestic ants.
A tingle of numbness flashed across his fingers, and this current quickly returned to his body, and then spread throughout his body.
Not sure if it was a hint from his heart, but he felt his body slowly start to heat up.
"Cuckoo."
Then the stomach sends a signal of hunger.
Lu Ning clenched his fist, but did not feel that his strength had improved.
To verify, he picked up a wooden stick in the hut and waved it, but he felt that it was no different from before.
"So hungry."
My stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier, and it was accompanied by a burning sensation.
"You haven't had lunch yet. Are you hungry?"
Lu Ning thought he was exhausted from just moving the tricycle.
He had been like this before.
He glanced at the tricycle lying beside the pit in the distance, then hesitated for a while and rushed out of the hut in the rain.
When we came to the tricycle, it was still lying on the side of the road, and some of the goods were scattered on the ground and were already wet.
Lu Ning quickly picked up some wet food on the ground and ran back to the hut.
A bag of bread was squeezed out of shape and soaked by the rain.
A few bottles of drinks.
Lu Ning found the intact bread, couldn't wait to tear open the package, and started to devour it.
I choked, so I opened a can of deformed drink.
It wasn't until I consumed a large bag of bread and several bottles of drinks that my stomach was no longer so hungry.
The whole body is even warmer.
"What's wrong with me?"
Lu Ning realized later that his behavior just now was a bit impulsive.
Is it ability?
He glanced at the wooden stick that had just been thrown aside, and then picked it up again.
He weighed it in his hands.
"Hey, it seems lighter!"
The stick is not big, but weighs about five or six kilograms. It was a bit heavy when I first weighed it, but now it feels much lighter, only half the weight.
He took a look at the muscles of his arms and felt that the originally slightly convex muscles became more impressive.
Is it an illusion?
Just then, Lu Ning's cell phone rang.
It was a call from my colleague Lei Chunqing.
It looks like support is coming.
"Hey, Chunqing."
"Where are you now? I'm already at the tricycle."
"I'm hiding from the rain in the hut nearby. Just wait, I'll be there soon."
Lu Ning looked up and saw Lei Chunqing in the distance. He hung up the phone and rushed out of the hut again.
At this time, the rain outside seemed to have lightened up, and it seemed like it was just a normal thunderstorm.
When they arrived at the tricycle, Lei Chunqing was already wearing a raincoat. An electric car was parked next to it, waiting for Lu Ning.
"It's really unlucky. My whole day's work is going to be in vain, and I have to trouble you to come to the rescue."
The two were colleagues and friends. Lu Ning came over and greeted Lei Chunqing with a smile, a bit self-deprecating on his face.
"This road is the most difficult to walk on. Every time I walk on this road, I get scared. Once I almost dropped a lot of goods and almost fell into a pit. If this road is not repaired, it will become more and more difficult in the future.
Walk."
Lei Chunqing shook his head after seeing it.
He knew that the tricycle would capsize. It was not Lu Ning's fault. He could only say that the road was too bad.
The two of them stopped talking nonsense and started to get under the tricycle, and then worked together to lift the tricycle.
"321, lift!"
The two shouted slogans together and each worked hard.
With a dull sound, the old tricycle seemed to be overwhelmed and slowly began to be lifted.
Hmm? It doesn’t seem heavy.
Feeling the strength in his hands, Lu Ning was confused.
Is it because of the two of them, or is it because my power has really become stronger?
He was still a little unsure at this time.
"It seems much lighter than expected."
Lei Chunqing let out a breath, then looked at the cargo in the car with a strange expression.
Normally, it should have been very heavy just now, but it was obviously much lighter.
Could it be that Lu Ning was working very hard just now?
That must be the case.
"There is strength in numbers." Lu Ning smiled.
He made up his mind to give it a try after returning home from get off work.
"Although some of these are broken, they can still be returned, so don't waste them."
Chunqing pointed to some goods scattered on the muddy ground, then bent down to pick them up.
Lu Ning smiled and started to pick them up together. He didn't pick them up just now because it was raining too much. They were all broken anyway, so he couldn't pick them up in the rain.
It's not too late to pick it up now.
"Okay, thank you very much. You can go back first. I'll just deliver the rest."
After picking it up, Lu Ning said to Lei Chunqing.
"Okay, then slow down and don't fall again."
Lei Chunqing said this half-jokingly, then got on the electric bike and went back.
By this time, the thunderstorm had passed and the rain began to stop gradually.
"My clothes are still wet. It's better to go home early for lunch."
Lu Ning looked at the sky and then on his phone, and found that it was already half past twelve, and it was about one o'clock when the delivery was finished.
I was supposed to get off work at twelve o'clock, but I was delayed for so long just now, and I have to go to work again at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Ning started the tricycle and the tricycle drove slowly towards Xiaomian Village.
The tricycles carry groceries from some canteens. The big ones carry rice, flour, grains and oils, the small ones carry drinks and snacks, and there are a lot of snacks that even cost 50 cents.
It's a small business and doesn't make much money.
Lu Ning's salary is only 3,500 yuan a month, and he has two days off every month. Fortunately, he is the best in the store, and he also gets a bonus of 200 yuan a month.
The boss is also nice, and he gets a month's salary bonus at the end of each year.
Lu Ning has been working as a delivery boy for two and a half years and is very familiar with this area.
When we arrived at Xiaomian Village, we parked the tricycle at the entrance of the canteen and started to move the goods one by one.
"It's indeed light."
Lu Ning weighed a fifty kilogram bag of rice and felt very sure.
But at this time, I didn't bother to think about it carefully, so I hurriedly moved the goods and finally checked with the boss.
If there are no mistakes, the process will be very fast.
However, this time because the tricycle rolled over, some of the goods could not be used and had to be returned to the merchant.
"It rained too much just now. The goods got wet and cannot be used. I will return them to you."
Of course, the merchant Lu Ning didn't tell her that the car had rolled over, so that the other party wouldn't have to check carefully and look for faults everywhere.
If you take the initiative to talk about getting wet, the merchant will think that you are thinking about him.
"Okay, it's okay, I'll just make it up next time."
They are all old customers, and the loss is not theirs, so the merchants will naturally not complain anymore.
Moreover, they all noticed the heavy rain just now, so it was good that such heavy rain could be sent to them.
Everything was quite pleasant.
A total of seven or eight goods were delivered by Lu Ning in half an hour.
When I went back, I collected some empty wine bottles and took them back. By the time I got back to the store, it was already 1:15.
Lu Ning's stomach had growled again.
The place where Lu Ning works is called ‘Tianxia Granary’, which is a wholesale store.
The wholesale store's warehouse is more than a thousand square meters, and the floor is filled with piles of goods.
There are only two people in the store, the boss and the boss's sister. One is responsible for purchasing and checking the goods, and the other is responsible for placing orders at the front desk.
Because the boss's sister is a few years older than the boss and Lu Ning, Lu Ning usually calls her sister-in-law, which is a local term of endearment.
"The goods that were deducted were all dropped on the floor and can no longer be used if they are dirty. I picked up some of them to see if I can return them. How much money I will lose will be deducted from my salary."
Lu Ning said to her sister-in-law, Chen Shan, as she handed the order to her.
He said it very naturally, and he was already planning to bear all the losses.
"Okay, remember to be careful next time, that road is really difficult." Sister Chen Shan smiled at him and didn't blame him.
At this time, the boss Chen Jianbin also walked out.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He also smiled at Lu Ning.
When he first opened the store, he delivered the goods himself. He naturally knows how difficult it is to deliver goods, and he also understands the hard work of delivering goods on rainy days.
Especially the road to Xiaomian Village, he had walked it himself, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to walk there.
Lu Ning has been working in the store for the longest time and is also the best, so he will be assigned to tasks that are usually difficult to do.
And it is normal for accidents to happen at work.
Lu Ning smiled and said: "I was very careful, but I didn't expect it to fall. It's just a pity for these goods."
As he spoke, he pointed to some goods still stacked on the tricycle. These goods were all covered in yellow mud and were either crushed or all exposed from their packaging.
It seems it can no longer be used.
"The cargo doesn't matter, as long as the people are fine." Chen Jianbin looked at the cargo on the tricycle and said to him.
At this time, the tricycle was all wet and the tires were covered in mud.
However, Chen Jianbin was used to this and didn't care much.
"Then I'll get off work first."
"Well, go back quickly, it's already this time."
Lu Ning nodded, then walked to the corner, got on his electric bike, and left the warehouse.
After Lu Ning left, Chen Jianbin walked into the room.
Chen Jianbin asked Chen Shan: "How much is it broken?"
The data has been compiled.
Chen Shan replied: "About three hundred yuan."
It's a bit much.
Chen Jianbin muttered in his heart.
"Lu Ning just brought some back. I took a look and found that some of them can be refunded for a hundred dollars. If there are still two hundred dollars left, after deducting the cost, I will deduct a hundred dollars from him at the end of the month."
"okay."
Chen Shan nodded and responded.
Their wholesale store is not big and they only run a small business. Although they want to exempt Lu Ning from the price of all the damaged goods, it is still a bit unrealistic.
Just try to compensate as little as possible, otherwise it will dishearten the employees.
