Chapter 23 Taxi
I was running on the suburban road, wondering how to find a car.
A broken van suddenly appeared in front of me.
Although it appeared a bit unexpectedly, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the car.
But the driver raised his head and asked me: Is this the car we ordered?
I can’t use my mobile phone, how can I order a taxi?
Besides, I'm the only one here, so where are we?
But at this moment, I couldn't care less about who ordered the car, or whether it was first-come, first-served, or whether it was humane or unfair.
Get in the car first and go to Longgang Mountain to save your life.
I lied straight away:
"Yes, I ordered the car!"
I quickly walked up and pulled the car door open with my hands.
I found that the car was very old, the surface was covered with rust, and the doors were not easy to open.
"My car is older, please use more force!"
The driver smiled and spoke.
I nodded:
"Uh-huh!"
Squeeze the basket tightly and pull it back sharply.
After a few "clicks", he opened the sliding door and got in.
The car must be very old, and the interior is full of rust.
Only the cab has a front light, which is rather dim.
The interior of the car was pitch black, the roof and lampshades were in pieces, and several thin wires were exposed.
I even wondered if this was a scrapped car.
Moreover, there was a strong fishy smell inside the car.
It smells like a few dead fish in the car.
I frowned, resisted the urge to gag, sat down in my seat, and closed the car door with great effort.
At this time, it was discovered that there was no one in the car except the driver.
There was also a long-haired woman sitting in the passenger seat.
Wearing white clothes and a black mask.
I didn’t pay too much attention to it, thinking that it might be the driver’s friend or a customer or something.
Now the most important thing is to go to Longgang Mountain.
"Brother, go to Longgang Mountain. Drive faster. I'm in a hurry."
I spoke anxiously.
The driver smiled in the rearview mirror:
"Under the premise of safety, I will try to drive as fast as possible."
After saying that, the driver started the van.
But I feel like this van is a bit weird.
In the past, when I was riding in a van, I could hear a loud engine noise, "buzzing".
Moreover, the interior of the car will be shaking non-stop and quite bumpy.
But this dilapidated van looks rather worn out.
After starting, there is basically no loud engine sound, and there is not even much bumps.
It feels much smoother and quieter than taking the factory commuter bus.
Although I work in a car factory, I don't know much about cars.
I think it's because the driver's driving skills are good.
The road outside is also flat, so it's not bumpy.
Coupled with the stinky smell in the car, I didn't have time to pay so much attention.
I just wanted to roll down the window and get some air, it smelled so bad...
It turned out that the window handle was broken, and the car door was covered in black water stains and smelled bad.
"Little brother, the handle of my car is broken and I haven't had time to repair it yet.
If you want some fresh air, I'll open the front window."
"Okay, thank you, brother!"
After saying that, I glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car.
I actually noticed that the woman wearing a mask in the passenger seat was looking at me through the rearview mirror.
Only then can I see the general appearance of the masked woman.
She had her hands folded, and her skin was very white, although she couldn't see the whole picture.
But a pair of red and phoenix eyes are very beautiful.
The eyes are like clear springs, and the eyes are like autumn water.
It's very clear and spirited, and it attracted me at first glance.
I just feel that this woman’s eyes are too beautiful, right?
Even wearing a mask, you can tell that she is definitely a beautiful woman.
But it was just a glance, and the other person turned to look out the car window.
I looked away embarrassedly.
The driver rolled down the window and a gust of evening breeze blew into the car.
Although it was a bit cold, the fishy smell was relieved a little.
I sat in the back seat and looked at the time from time to time, feeling quite anxious.
Seeing how nervous I was, the driver suddenly asked me:
“Little brother, why are you going to Longgang Mountain so late?
I remember that place seemed to have been demolished and is now a wasteland."
I was stunned for a moment and prevaricated:
"Oh, I have some friends camping over there and asked me to come over and play."
"oh oh!"
After the driver asked this question, he started talking.
A man was talking to himself there.
They said they were driving at night. A few days ago, a car lost control and rushed into the river.
The driver failed to climb out and drowned in the water.
When found, the body was soaked.
My eyes were pecked and eaten by fish, it was so miserable...
As he spoke, he seemed to be still very hot and kept wiping his sweat.
I was already uneasy, and I didn't even say anything to anyone.
The woman wearing a mask sitting in the passenger seat also seemed uncomfortable.
He coughed twice.
The driver didn’t think we wanted to hear it, so he laughed a few times and said no more.
In the car, it became quiet again.
The car window glass is covered with black film, making it difficult to see the outside scenery clearly.
Only two beams of light and the dim road can be seen through the front windshield.
The vehicles were driving like this, and there were very few vehicles encountered along the way.
Occasionally I would look at the woman in the co-pilot through the rearview mirror.
After looking out the window for a while, she closed her eyes and leaned on the chair to rest.
I also want to take a rest, I've been really tired these past few days.
But leaning on the seat and closing my eyes, I just couldn't fall asleep.
After a while, the driver shouted to me:
"Little brother, we are here!"
Hearing the driver's brother suddenly speak, he opened his eyes.
I found that the car had stopped.
I didn't even feel the car slow down.
I looked at the time, nine forty.
It was faster than expected, and now there was enough time to arrive at the Chenghuang Temple.
I was pleasantly surprised and asked hurriedly:
"Brother, how much is the fare?"
The driver brother said with a smile:
"The night shift is more expensive, and usually you have to return home if you go here. Just pay 180!"
One hundred and eighty is indeed a bit expensive, normally one hundred yuan is about the same.
But I'm in a hurry and it's important to save my life.
If I delay a little longer, the female ghost that is pestering me will appear.
Now I don't care about the eighty yuan anymore, so I don't bother to bargain.
He took out two hundred and handed them over.
The driver smiled and took the two hundred.
I found twenty dollars from my wallet.
But the money he gave me was wet and very damp.
I didn't pay much attention to it.
I glanced at it, put it in my pocket, then opened the door and got out of the car...
