After the driver’s observation, there were many strange things about the young man in the passenger seat.
He was dressed very simply and carried a tattered shoulder bag with a white phoenix embroidered on it anytime and anywhere.
He looks relatively honest, but he is blind in one eye. He usually wears a cap and sunglasses to cover his eyes.
He spoke more kindly and chatted a lot with the driver along the way. The driver found that he seemed to have been to many places and knew a little bit about things all over the world, even better than he did in all weathers. There are even more truck drivers, which is very rare among young people.
He was very talkative, but his words were impeccable. No matter how the driver made insinuations, he did not reveal any information about his identity.
But the driver also had some speculations about his identity.
Wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses, in addition to covering up his blind eyes, he seemed to also want to deceive others.
If he is not a wanted criminal, then he is most likely hiding from his enemies.
However, who did this kid offend? He has been away from Rongcheng for so long and is still cautious.
The car was driving on the highway, and it was dark in a blink of an eye. The truck driver did not enter the service area, but found a highway entrance and drove straight down, and then pulled over to the side of the highway.
Yan Shouyi observed the surrounding environment and asked doubtfully: "Brother Yang, why don't you go to the service area to rest?"
The driver called himself Brother Yang, but in fact he was just He is twenty-six or seventeen years old, but his skin is dark and full of wrinkles due to exposure to wind and sun. He looks like he is in his forties.
Brother Yang took out instant noodles and hot water, and while brewing them, he responded:
"There is a fee for staying overnight in the service area, and the security guards there will try their best to They are trying to make things difficult for us, but I don’t have the spare money to support them!”
The security guards in some service areas are very shady. They insist that drivers who stay overnight pay a “garbage disposal fee” and will not let them stop if they don’t pay. , or stay up all night to disturb the driver's rest.
Drivers are busy during the day and if they cannot rest peacefully at night, they will drive tiredly the next day and are prone to accidents.
Therefore, some drivers are unwilling to stay overnight in the service area, and Brother Yang belongs to this type of person.
However, it was not because he couldn’t swallow this breath, but because he was poor.
When Brother Yang saw that Yan Shou was silent, he explained to himself:
"The boss who paid the money only said that he would send you to the north, but did not say anything about the way. I have to take care of you, so you can eat whatever I eat along the way, and you can live how I live.Well, if you want to go out for a big meal or stay in a hotel...you have to pay extra. ”
Yan Shouyi couldn’t laugh or cry. He didn’t expect that just after he left Rongcheng, he met a Jiaqian layman.
He touched his pocket and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. .
Except for the thousand yuan that he casually put in his pocket before going out, he didn’t seem to have any cash with him.
And in order not to be discovered by the eyes and ears of the famous family. , Yan Shouyi cannot use any of Lin Zitong's bank cards or credit cards outside.
Once there are transaction records, they may be discovered by people from famous families, and then get burned.
So now Yan Shouyi only has a thousand yuan in his entire body, which is even poorer than the driver in front of him, Brother Yang.
"Just instant noodles! ”
Yan Shou jumped out of the car and took the instant noodles made by Brother Yang. The two of them squatted on the side of the road and ate and chatted.
There were cars on the road from time to time. Passing by, no one cares about the strangers on the roadside, especially since the two of them look so ordinary now.
Brother Yang didn’t expect Yan Shouyi to be so sincere and didn’t blame him at all. He failed to let himself eat and drink well.
“Hey, don’t blame me, brother. I have my own difficulties. "Brother Yang felt a little guilty. After all, after receiving so much money, he still made money even if he stayed in a hotel and dined out all the way.
Yan Shou said "suck" and ate half the bowl in one bite. in front of him, and then said in surprise: "What's wrong with you? "
Brother Yang was careless and told all about his past in one breath:
"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. My father was a murderer. I entered it when I was very young. I grew up with my grandfather. After I dropped out of junior high school, I started to work in the society. I finally got a wife. After giving birth to a child, my wife thought I was poor and ran away. ”
“Originally, I thought that life could not be more miserable than this. After all, I still have a daughter. But as luck would have it, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last year. Now I don’t know how much it costs to take medicine every day. How much does it cost... I can only save as much as I can. Don't think that the instant noodles I save are just food money. In fact, what I save is my daughter's life. "
"Hey, brother, I think you are an honest person, so I am complaining. If it were anyone else, I would not be willing to say it. Don’t worry, I’ll take you to have breakfast before getting on the highway tomorrow. Don’t ask why it’s breakfast, breakfast is cheap! ”
Yan Shouyi tilted his head and looked at the driver, Brother Yang, and was filled with emotions for a while.
In fact, Brother Yang’s fate was somewhat similar to his.
IfIf I were not a descendant of Luban, perhaps my life trajectory would not be much different from that of Brother Yang.
All living beings suffer, and you and I are just one of the many living beings.
Yan Shouyi patted Brother Yang on the shoulder in a comforting manner and said, "God will not treat you badly, you will be happy."
"Your face If you don't want to eat, don't pour it, give it to me."
"..."
"Do you want to smoke?"
"Have one."
The two of them ate and drank enough and squatted on the roadside smoking.
After chatting for a while, Brother Yang, who had been running around all day, started to yawn.
He stood up and helped Yan Shouyi open the passenger door. He took out a hammock from under the seat and tied it to the fuel tank of the truck.
Yan Shouyi asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Hey, it's not safe if the car doesn't stop at the service area. There may be fuel theft in the middle of the night. Thief, one steal is worth a thousand dollars, I have to watch all night long!" Brother Yang said with a bitter smile.
Yan Shouyi was silent for a while, nodded silently, climbed into the passenger seat, covered with a blanket that smelled of cigarette smoke, but did not close his eyes.
He had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
However, Brother Yang felt relaxed. Within three minutes, Yan Shouyi heard even and loud snoring.
This snoring sound like thunder is simply a human alarm. If oil thieves within a radius of two kilometers hear it, they will probably not dare to come and cause trouble, right?
Yan Shou couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, and then he followed Brother Yang's example of saying "no worries" and closed his eyes to rest.
Time flies into the middle of the night.
Yan Shouyi was suddenly awakened by a slight movement.
He frowned, held his breath, and concentrated on sensing the situation outside the car.
His hearing is very sensitive. Just by listening to the movement, he can probably simulate the scene outside the car in his mind.
At this time, Yan Shouyi clearly felt that there were three sneaky guys outside the car, ducking into the grass and slowly approaching the truck.
Is he an oil thief?
