To tell you something, the locals may still remember that there was a very popular stall selling buttered melon seeds in front of the cinema at that time. A bag of fried melon seeds cost 50 cents. The old lady selling melon seeds was the mother of the person selling the second-hand car.
.
We communicated on the phone on the way, and when we arrived, they took me directly to see the car.
The so-called largest second-hand car dealer in Kangding, the real situation is that it only has three Xiali, two Alto, and one Shenlong Fukang in stock, a total of 6 cars.
"Why can't it start?" I asked after trying the car.
"It's a small problem. It may have been put aside for a long time. Brother, please wait and we will solve it for you right away!"
I saw the car seller opening the front hood of the car, pulling off an oil pipe from the carburetor, blowing on it with his mouth, pressing the carburetor a few times, and then connecting the oil pipe.
"You're trying!"
I turned the key and it clicked.
Through the rearview mirror, you can see all black smoke.
"Is the quality of your car good? I drive long distances, at least more than a thousand kilometers one way."
"Don't worry, brother, don't see through my car. It's absolutely solid and durable to drive. Sometimes it will run away even if you don't give it gas! Let alone a thousand kilometers, I guarantee you that it won't break down after ten thousand kilometers!"
I drove around the movie theater and thought it was okay, so I paid the money when I came back. The car dealer was afraid that I would regret it, so the procedure was completed within an hour.
Not many young people had cars at that time. Even though my car was shabby, I still turned heads when I walked on the street. On my way back, I passed by the Green Olive Dance Hall, and there was a girl in black stockings who winked at me.
On the way, I considered buying a coffin or a large freezer to freeze the old lady.
But if I think about it carefully, I might get checked on the highway if I do this. Once my bag is checked, it will be ruined. It is not safe to take the train. It is safest to drive back to Nanping by myself.
I went back and slept for two hours. At around one o'clock at noon, when there were few people on the street, I carried the old lady downstairs and gently laid her down on the back seat.
I lifted up the covering clothes and took a look, and sure enough, the old lady's nose had already started to bleed with bits of orange juice.
I had the horse fostered at the hotel, and we agreed to pick it up when I came back. I gave the person at the front desk 300 yuan for the care of the horse.
Get in the car and close the door.
The snake girl asked: "Brother Xiang, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the map. I don't know the road. Let's see which way is suitable."
"Okay, we're almost done, let's go." I collected the map.
"Brother Xiang, you can drive slower, the road is very long."
"I know, don't worry when I drive."
At that time, many expressways had not been built, so the main route was 318, which is the Shanghai-Nie line. It went all the way east and reached Fujian, not far from Nanping. It was expected to take about one and a half days.
I just turned onto the Yajiang Line, and before I got on the 318, the bus couldn’t go! It was broken!
My face turned dark, so I called the car dealer directly and scolded him.
"Hey, brother, you are out of luck. Where did your car break down?"
“This is the intersection of Yajiang Line!”
"Didn't you say it's guaranteed to be 10,000 kilometers without failure? I've just walked 10,000 fucking meters and it can't be driven!"
"Brother, don't panic! I'll go find you right now and help you solve the problem. Just wait!"
It's been two full hours and the car dealer still hasn't shown up!
When I tried to call, I couldn't get through, and it said the phone was turned off.
I got out of the car, closed the door, and took a deep breath.
"Dip! Dip!"
"Move your car, it's blocking the intersection!"
I turned around and saw an open pickup truck honking at me, and the driver stuck his head out and shouted at me.
"What are you shouting? Can I move? I didn't realize the car was broken down!"
At this time, the passenger door opened and a girl carrying a bag got out.
"It's you!"
I was stunned and recognized her.
It's Miniang Razhen, the one who used to take the bus with the cows.
