As those people asking for food and water appeared, someone immediately responded and said he had instant noodles and biscuits in his car, as well as a whole box of mineral water.
Soon a swarm of people surrounded him, and he sat in his car and started selling.
Usually a bucket of instant noodles costs up to six yuan, but he directly sells a bucket for fifty yuan, and mineral water that costs two yuan is also sold at a high price of ten yuan a bottle.
Including those bulk biscuits, they are estimated to only cost more than ten yuan a pound. He retails them directly for five yuan a pack.
But even so, those who move slowly will miss the mark.
Those who had lost money asked those who had bought food and water to sell them more. Some people would sell them at a high price again, and some people would not sell them no matter how much money the other party offered.
Some even started grabbing them, probably because they were starving.
Some people even got into a fight over a little bit of food, and the two grown men just rolled on the cold ground holding each other in their arms.
Some women are even willing to get in the car with a strange man over the food!
Yes, you heard it right, this is human nature.
This is only the first night!
Looking at these pictures, I feel indescribably sad.
But this is life!
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are transactions, all kinds of transactions.
I couldn't bear to see these scenes, so I returned to the car. An Lan handed me a red bean bread and asked, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
"Some people fought over food, and some people bought food at high prices and were robbed..."
"Why is this happening?" An Lan frowned and asked.
I shrugged and said, "When a person is extremely hungry, his bestiality will be revealed."
"But we've only been stuck in traffic for a few hours, so what?"
I don’t know what happened, but these scenes did happen.
Of course, if that person hadn't said he had food and water in the car, there probably wouldn't have been a riot.
An Yifeng suddenly smiled and said: "Fortunately, we have food and drink in the car."
"We can only last one night with this little food, and we don't know when it will be opened to traffic."
Looking at the traffic flow in front of me again, the despair in my heart seems to have taken shape, and it is spreading like this on this highway...
The noise outside finally became quieter, and the food was probably all plundered, so everyone dispersed.
But at this time, I noticed that An Lan's face seemed a little uncomfortable, so I immediately asked her: "Are you cold?"
She shook her head, and then whispered: "I want to pee..."
"Uh...this..." I immediately looked around. I either got out of the car and went outside the guardrail, or I had to stay in the car.
I pondered for a while and said to her: "It's dark outside now, so I can't see. Why don't we go outside into the jungle?"
She nodded, then carefully opened the car door, and I followed her out of the car.
It felt quite cold in the car, but it felt even colder when I got out of the car, and I shivered immediately.
I accompanied An Lan through the guardrail and into the jungle outside.
I didn't turn on my phone because there were people everywhere, and no one would know if I didn't turn on the light. If I turned on the light, wouldn't it be like reminding others?
"Okay, just stay here and I'll show you."
She said "hmm" softly and knelt down on the spot.
It was already 10:30 in the evening, and the road was still not clear at all, but the crowd was calm. This calm had nothing to do with the scene.
It's more like a kind of silence that completely gives up resistance after experiencing despair.
Everyone was huddled in the car, and no one got out of the car to visit.
Under the night, only the sounds of some animals in the surrounding jungle were left, in addition to the shaking sounds of some individual vehicles...
After An Lan finished urinating, we returned to the car.
We're probably going to have to get stuck here tonight.
After returning to the car, I said to An Lan: "Put the chair flat and sleep for a while, and cover yourself with a down jacket."
An Lan glanced at An Yifeng, who was already asleep in the passenger seat, and then whispered to me: "Come here, let's huddle together, it will be warmer."
An Yifeng was indeed not an outsider, and besides, he was already asleep.
So I climbed into the back seat, hugged An Lan tightly, and covered us with her down jacket.
"Would you like some warm drinks?" She leaned close to my ear and asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's so warm."
"Hold tighter." She said, hugging me tighter.
I just felt her breathing, her heartbeat and tenderness...
She was leaning so tightly in my arms, but I couldn't sleep at all.
I don’t know if it’s because the long traffic jam made me a little upset, or if I have other things on my mind.
After a while, I finally asked An Lan: "Are you asleep?"
"No, you haven't slept yet?"
"I can not sleep."
"I can't sleep either. I don't know how long the traffic jam will last. I don't know if Xiaoman and Yangyang are asleep?"
After becoming a parent, you will always miss your family. An Lan has now completely transformed from a strong business woman into a well-educated and virtuous little daughter-in-law.
"They must all be asleep at this moment, so you should go to sleep too. Maybe it will be open to traffic early tomorrow morning."
"Your stomach is growling, are you hungry?" She suddenly asked me again.
"No."
"You must be hungry. Eat something. You didn't eat much just now." As she said this, she wanted to sit up.
I pulled her back again: "I'll do it myself. Just lie down and don't move."
I reached out and took out the bag containing the food, and was about to tear open the package.
Suddenly, through the foggy windshield, I saw the taillights of some cars in front of me light up, and there were more than one!
Is it open to traffic?
Seeing this scene, my heart suddenly "thumped", and then more and more car taillights lit up.
"What's wrong?" An Lan asked me immediately when he saw that I was stunned.
"The taillights of the cars in front are all on. I don't know if it's open to traffic. I'll go down and have a look."
With that said, I put down the food in my hand, opened the car door and got out of the car, and looked forward.
Sure enough, the traffic jam started to loosen up, and some cars around us started to catch fire.
Seeing this, I felt indescribably excited, so I hurriedly sat back in the cab and started the car.
An Yifeng also woke up at this time, looked around vaguely, and said, "What's the situation? Is it open to traffic?"
I said "hmm" and said, "It looks like it's open to traffic."
After the car was on fire, the heater was turned on again, the fog on the windshield also dissipated, and the vision began to become clearer...
The congested traffic finally began to move forward slowly, but even so, some vehicles were still honking their horns anxiously, which was extremely annoying!
