Chapter 585 (2/2)
Chang Wen then asked, ”do you dare to take the night road to the county?”
The motorcycle driver asked curiously, ”why do you leave at night? I'll tell you: it's all mountain roads from here to the county. It's very dangerous to walk in the daytime. It's hard to walk at night. But it's OK to walk slowly. It's just that the price is a little higher, 100 yuan per person. ”
”Brother, did you go to the county for the night
The motorcycle driver replied, ”I've been there two or three times. It's because people want to go to other places for funerals. They have to be in a hurry, so they have to take the risk of walking at night. I said, ”little brother, I suggest you walk in the daytime. It's not only safe, but also fast.”
Chang Wen said, ”I haven't made up my mind yet, but maybe I'll go by night.”
Mo's driver took out a business card and handed it to Chang Wen. He said enthusiastically, ”little brother, if you want to go to the county, just call me. I can drive at any time. And I have to tell you: of all the motorcycle drivers in this town, I'm the only one with the best driving skills and the safest on my motorcycle. ”
The landlady brought a bowl of noodles and said, ”brother, I remember that you used to come to me for dinner. You used to fry a few dishes and have a few bottles of beer. In the last two months, you always eat noodles. If you go on like this, I'm afraid you'll only eat steamed bread.”
Mo's driver gave a wry smile and said, ”recently, people in the countryside have suddenly become poor, and no one is going to mourn. My business is declining.”
”Brother, you're so mean. You're counting on more dead people.”
”Ha ha... I just want to do more business.”
Chang Wen also asked for a bowl of noodles. He accosted his wife and said, ”are you familiar with Chen Jiawan?”
The landlady said, ”Chenjiawan is a big village. Of course, I am familiar with it. However, even if people in Chenjiawan go to town, they will not eat in restaurants. People in that village are all poor.”
”Madame, I heard that the village head of Chenjiawan is very rich. Has the village head ever eaten in your hotel?”
”I've heard of the village head of Chenjiawan, but I don't know him. I think that no matter how rich the village head is, I'm afraid he can't bear to spend money in restaurants. I tell you that when people from the countryside come to town, they all carry a few steamed buns in their arms and make do with a meal. Where can they afford to go to restaurants?”
The landlady doesn't know Chen Jiawan's village head, which makes Chang Wen relaxed.
The motorcycle driver finished a bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth and said, ”Madame, your noodles are delicious. I still want to eat them. Unfortunately, I can't fill my stomach.”
The landlady said with a smile: ”I don't think you can't fill your stomach, but you have no money in your pocket.”
Mo's driver took out a handful of broken banknotes from his pocket and prepared to pay the dough.
Chang Wen took out a hundred yuan note and handed it to the landlady. He said boldly, ”I'll pay for this big brother's face.”
The motorcycle driver looked at Chang Wen and said with a smile, ”it seems that I met a rich man who came to please me before I took my motorcycle. I said, ”little brother, you are not a fugitive, are you?”
Chang Wen laughed and said, ”if I'm a fugitive, why should I run to the county? Isn't it that you've fallen into a trap? ”
”Yes, but it's a little puzzling for you to help me pay for noodles for nothing.”
”Brother, I'll tell you the truth. In two days, I'm going to go to the county. I'll take your motorcycle at that time. I hope you'll pay more attention.”
The motorcycle driver waved his hand and said, ”no problem, little brother. When you leave, just say something. I'll be on call 24 hours a day to ensure your safe delivery to the county.”
The landlady took the hundred yuan note and said to the motorcycle driver, ”brother, since people help you pay, you can just take some more pancakes.”
Mo's driver took a look at Chang Wen and said with embarrassment, ”if I take a few more pancakes, it's a bit of an inch.”
