The Land Rover was driving on the highway, and the sound of cars passing by could be heard in my ears.
The car suddenly became quiet. Everyone seemed to be recalling the story Hua Xiao told about the cow growing wings.
"I sometimes feel like this," San Dao said. "Sometimes when a place appears in my dreams, not long after, I will go to that place in reality. It's really a strange feeling.
"
Wang Tao took a sip of Coke and said with a smile: "Don't be suspicious. This is called thinking every day and thinking every night. Whose turn is it next? By the way, it's our super driver Zheng Xiaoming's turn. Xiaoming, here you go.
Let’s make a paragraph together.”
"I really can't tell stories." Zheng Xiaoming drove the steering wheel with one hand and waved the other hand.
"If you are asked to speak, you will speak. Aren't you usually a talkative kid? Why have you become a talkative this time?" Ao Xiaoyun interrupted.
Zheng Xiaoming frowned helplessly and said: "Okay, I really don't know how to tell stories. I will tell you something that I have personally experienced. I hope you won't laugh at me."
"Stories of personal experience are more convincing. Xiao Ming, you can tell it with confidence. If anyone dares to laugh at you, I won't slap him!" Wang Tao said coldly to the four young men behind him.
The three people curled their lips almost at the same time.
Zheng Xiaoming drove the car, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "When I was about twenty years old, I had no skills. Apart from loving studying and playing with cars, I never cared about anything else.
But in order to make a living, my dad found me a job as a driver. The boss was a childhood friend of my dad’s, and my dad asked me to call him Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin looks very kind, but he is a very stingy guy.”
"My daily job was to drive. At that time, Uncle Lin was running a logistics company that distributed across the country. I drove the company's boxes and goods all over the country every day. At first, I was the only driver. But later, there was too much business and I was very busy.
I had a good relationship, so I was assigned a driver. The two of us drove back and forth."
"Once, when we were about to rush back after delivering goods in Shanghai, a middle-aged man came to us and asked us to bring something to our hometown of Yunhai City. He said it was some kind of precision instrument, contained in a
In the big wooden box. The destination is Yunhai City Police Station.
, He said he was waiting for urgent use. He couldn't delay for a moment. The middle-aged man said, took out a wad of bills from his wallet and handed it to me. I thought since the car was empty when I came back, it was a waste. I thought it was a help to others, and I thought it was a waste of money.
Earn some extra money and kill two birds with one stone. Haha~~"
As he spoke, Zheng Xiaoming habitually reached out and took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, holding it in his mouth. Suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he reached out and took the cigarette out of his mouth. He laughed twice awkwardly.
.
Wang Tao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Just smoke if you like each other. We know you are tired from driving. Take a cigarette to refresh yourself."
Zheng Xiaoming laughed twice and said: "I'm used to it---hehe---I'm used to it---I forgot that the four of you don't smoke. How can you smoke second-hand smoke with me?"
"Suck it if you are told. What nonsense are you talking about?" Ao Xiaoyun interrupted.
Zheng Xiaoming seemed to care about Ao Xiaoyun's words. Before Ao Xiaoyun finished speaking, Zheng Xiaoming put the cigarette in his mouth again. He lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled the scattered smoke.
"Go on." Wang Tao smiled.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Zheng Xiaoming seemed to be energetic. His eyes were shining and he said: "Take the money, I'll count it, darling, it's one thousand yuan. This is half a month's salary. If I share it equally with my partner, I can still get it."
Each person paid 500 yuan. I was happy and agreed to that person. I thought at that time, since this is luck,
The precision instruments sent to the Yunhai City Public Security Bureau were definitely not shady things. Do you think, who dares to send prohibited items to the police station? After thinking about it, I agreed to the person. The person thanked him profusely and asked the forklift to pick up the items.
The big wooden box was gently placed flat into my carriage."
"After putting the boxes away, my partner and I set off. Touching the banknotes in our pockets, we both felt particularly excited. Shanghai is not far from our Yunhai City, just over a thousand kilometers, and it only takes a day and a night's driving to get there.
But in order to take care of the precision instruments that others put in the car, we all drive very slowly. Driving slowly consumes the most energy when running long distances."
"First, my partner drove the car. Soon after we got on the highway, he got sleepy, so I drove. He dozed off on the seat."
Zheng Xiaoming took a breath of cigarette, blew out two wisps of smoke from his nostrils, and said with a smile: "I just drove and drove until midnight. After getting off the highway, I was also very sleepy, so I switched to another
My partner was driving. I reclined on the seat and slept for a while. But I couldn’t sleep for long because the road ahead was too bumpy. So I asked my partner to stop the car, open the compartment, and go to sleep in the compartment.”
"As you all know, there is a big wooden box in the carriage. I took a quilt and lay comfortably on the big wooden box and dozed off. This sleep---it was a beautiful sleep. But in the hazy moment
, I felt someone pushing me underneath me, and that person wanted to push me to stand up. I was too sleepy at the time and ignored him. I thought it was a dream I had."
"Early the next morning, we drove to the police station. I ran into the lobby and explained the situation to the police on duty. The police became angry and chased me out of the lobby.
He came out and cursed and said something about bad luck. He asked me to drive the car to the funeral parlor."
"I was puzzled at the time. The owner of the cargo clearly stated that it was sent to the police station, but why didn't the police station accept it? I asked the police on duty. The policeman looked disgusted and said to me: Just drive the car to the funeral parlor and you will know.
.What kind of precision instruments do you have ordered from the funeral parlor?"
Zheng Xiaoming gave a bitter laugh, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and continued: "So we had no choice but to drive the car to the funeral parlor. As soon as I drove into the funeral parlor, I was dumbfounded.
The men and women of Madaixiao screamed and rushed towards my car with heart-breaking heart---"
"What is shock? I didn't learn it well when I was in school, but I experienced it first-hand that morning. It's enough to experience it once in my life."
Zheng Xiaoming said with a distorted expression: "Maybe you have guessed it. The 'precision instrument' we brought back from Shanghai was a corpse, a middle-aged man who died in a foreign country and was murdered. Cremation is not allowed in Shanghai, and the family of the deceased is not allowed to be cremated in Shanghai.
They tricked us into pulling her back."
Zheng Xiaoming laughed at himself and said: "We were fooled like idiots, but I don't care about the family of the deceased. But I hate why they didn't tell me in advance! I fell asleep on the coffin board.
The whole night. Since then, I have had nightmares every night, dreaming that someone is pushing me under my body——"
After the story was told, the car was eerily quiet. Both Sandao and Ao Xiaoyun swallowed hard, and chills ran down their spines.
