"Master, thank you so much, thank you, look...can you get it for a thousand and a half? This didn't waste much of your time, right?" Song Zongping, the master of the large truck, said to the repairman.

.

When they went there, Hu Mingchen and the others did not ask about Master Song's situation. They only talked about this topic on the way back.

Song Zongping's family is from Panyun County. He has been driving a large truck for more than ten years. He has traveled to various places in the province and several surrounding provinces. This time he is working for a company in Zhennan from Liangzhou.

A cart of potatoes was pulled into the city, but I never thought that the cart would break down on the road, which would almost delay the event.

"Why don't you keep your word? We agreed on two thousand yuan before we came here. The length of time has something to do with my skills. You can't cheat me like this." When I heard that Song Zongping mentioned one thousand yuan,

At that price of 5, the car repair boss will stop working.

"I'm not trying to trick you, and I'm not keeping my word. I only have one thousand and fifty yuan on me, so just give me a little. At worst, I can give you another five hundred yuan when I pass by Lute next time.

." Song Zongping rummaged through his wallet and showed it to the car repair shop owner, intending to prove that he really didn't have any extra money.

"He, ask him, he just promised to give you the five hundred. If you don't give it, then I will remove the parts. You have to be honest in life. One is one and two is two." The car repair boss

He pointed at Hu Mingchen and said.

"Yes, I promised, I'll give you the five hundred yuan, it's not a big deal." After saying that, Hu Mingchen actually took out the five hundred yuan and handed it to the car repairman, "Take it, now it's clear, wait for him

The big truck will drive away, and you can go back after there is no problem."

"What's the problem? I'll repair the car and keep it safe." Taking Hu Mingchen's five hundred yuan, the car repair boss boasted.

Hu Mingchen gave five hundred, and Song Zongping could only give the other party the one thousand and fifteen in his hand.

"I'm really sorry for asking you to advance money for me. Leave me a phone number. Leave me a phone number and I promise to return the money to you. When I get back from Zhennan, I will send the money to you." Song Zongping was extremely embarrassed.

He said to Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping.

"Master Song, it's only five hundred yuan. Don't take it too seriously. We won't be back for a while. Let's pay it later if we meet again by chance." Hu Mingchen patted Song Zongping's strong arm and said.

Hu Mingchen obviously didn't want it anymore. They met by chance, and they didn't live together or work together. If they had to meet again by chance, the probability would be about the same as the probability of winning the first prize by buying a double color ball.

There are 40 million people in Langzhou and millions of people in Liangcheng. In such a huge sea of ​​people, if it weren't for great fate and luck, there would basically be no next time.

"I have received such a huge favor from you, but if I don't return it, I will feel..."

"Master Song, don't talk about this. It's fate, fate. Try to see if your car is OK. If it's OK, leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with the wholesaler." Hu Mingchen urged.

The wholesale of this kind of agricultural products is usually carried out between midnight and early morning. After the stall owners take the goods, citizens who buy vegetables early in the morning can have a good choice. Song Zongping's truck originally moved slower

, plus this was delayed for a while. If he didn't hurry up, he was afraid that the peak wholesale period would have passed by the time he arrived in Zhennan.

Although potatoes are not as durable as fresh vegetables, they need to be turned over as quickly as possible. Moreover, if the goods are stored in the wholesale market, management fees and storage fees will be charged. The faster they are sold, the more cost can be reduced.

"Yeah, hurry up, you're done here, I still have to go back to sleep." The car repair boss also urged.

"Immediately, immediately, I won't thank you enough." Song Zongping looked back at Hu Mingchen and his family's license plate numbers, then pulled the car door and climbed into the cab.

With a burst of "Tong Tong Tong", under the command of the repairman and Fang Guoping, Song Zongping reversed the truck a little. He first tried to see if the brakes worked.

When the brakes are pressed, the wheels lock and don't move. This means that the brakes are really good.

So Song Zongping drove the truck back and forth several times and made a U-turn.

"Okay, I'm leaving then." The repairman boss waved his hands casually to Hu Mingchen and the others, and was about to turn around in his pickup truck and go home to sleep.

"Brother Fang, the road is open, let's go." Hu Mingchen tightened his clothes and said.

It's late at night, in the wilderness, with the mountain breeze blowing, and it still feels a bit cold.

Just when the car repairman turned on the car lights, Song Qiaoshan also got into the cab. After Hu Mingchen got in the car and fastened his seat belt, he started the car.

However, Hu Mingchen and his car had only driven more than ten meters when they heard someone shouting from behind.

"Wait, wait, wait, hey, please wait."

Fang Guoping smiled, braked, parked the car on the side of the road, and stuck his head out of the car window.

"Master, what's going on? Do you still need money?"

"No, no, I just want to ask you, have you connected the battery cables?" The car repair boss ran to Fang Guoping's car door and waved his hand.

"Yes, what's wrong? You ask what this is for, don't you repairmen still have that thing?" Fang Guoping asked calmly.

"I don't know why, but two tires of my car are flat..."

"Haha, isn't refilling the air just a piece of cake for you? We don't have an air gun. Besides, if we run out of air, just change the tire and that'll be it." Hu Mingchen said with a bit of gloating.

"My car doesn't have a spare tire at all, and even if it did, it wouldn't be possible to have two. I have an inflator in my car, but it needs to be connected to electricity."

"Don't think we don't understand. Doesn't the inflatable rod come with wires and clips for wiring? Why are you looking for us?" Hu Mingchen said.

"My one was broken. I got two wires and connected them temporarily when needed. But the real code is really weird. My two wires are missing and can't be found. That's why I asked you,

If you have that cable, lend it to me and it will only take me two minutes," the car repairman said.

"I'm sorry, yes, but we are on our way. We don't want to stay here in the dark. I heard that this place is quite evil. When I see how dark it is around here, I feel scared. Brother Fang,

Let's leave quickly, I'm afraid of dirty things."

It would have been better if Hu Mingchen didn't say that. As soon as he said that, the car repairman glanced left and right, and his back suddenly felt cold, as if there were pairs of eyes hiding in those dark and dark places staring at him.

"Don't go, don't go, wait, don't go." Seeing that Fang Guoping was about to drive away again, the car repairman hurriedly ran to block the front of the car.

"What do you mean? If you can't borrow it, are you planning to rob it instead?" Fang Guoping leaned out of the car window and yelled at him.

"No, no, how dare I? In this way, you sell it to me, sell me the thread, so that it doesn't waste your time, right?"

If the two wheels are not inflated, his pickup truck will not be able to drive tonight. By this time, there will be almost no cars on this road anymore, and even if there are, they may not be able to drive.

Cable or with air pump.

Therefore, if he didn't want to be stuck here alone all night, Hu Mingchen and the others were his life-saving straw.

"You want to buy it? Okay, hurry up and give us the money. If we give you the money to sell it to you, we still have to travel." Hu Mingchen did not refuse, but readily agreed.

"Okay, okay, thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, you guys are so kind." Hearing that Hu Mingchen and others were willing to buy, the car repairman was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the money.

"How much do you have, twenty yuan? You are sending it to a beggar. You'd better take your twenty yuan yourself and buy it wherever you like." Fang Guoping saw that the other party handed him a packet.

He glanced at a twenty-dollar note and threw the money back to him.

"There isn't even a single house around here. Where can I buy it? Isn't it twenty yuan for two lines like that? I already paid according to the new ones." The car repairman picked up the money and spread it out.

Kaishou said with a grimace.

"Is this how you calculated the money for repairing that car just now? You know very well that the normal repair of that car just now should not exceed one thousand yuan, right? But how much did you charge?" Hu Mingchen asked.

They had already learned from Song Zongping that he had been in a similar situation twice. Once he asked someone to repair it for 800 yuan, and once, they only charged him 700 yuan. So Song Zongping was already prepared at that time.

It was one thousand yuan. Who knew that, let alone one thousand, even one thousand and five dollars, this guy's appetite was not satisfied.

"It's too expensive for me to confiscate. So, I'll give you fifty, and that'll be fine." The car mechanic argued.

"In this case, I will give you an idea, and you won't have to spend a penny." Hu Mingchen said with a chuckle.

"What's the idea?"

"This is only about 20 kilometers away from the city. Why don't you just walk back, go to the store to get two cables, connect them, and then drive back, so you don't spend a penny. How about that?

Is this a good idea of ​​mine?"

"Aren't you kidding me? It's more than 20 kilometers away. I'm afraid it'll be dawn when I walk back. When I come back, I still don't know if the things in the car are still there." How could the car repairman not tell that Hu Mingchen was kidding him?

Then, "Well, how much do you want to sell it for?"

"Five hundred, if you want to buy it or not, I will throw it away if you don't buy it. If you don't buy it, maybe a few more people you don't know will come out to accompany you in a while. Did you see that there is a cemetery below where you park your car?

I like having someone to accompany me." Hu Mingchen said, extending a hand.

"Five hundred? Why don't you go and grab it? If something worth twenty yuan is sold for five hundred, then I don't want it. Don't tell me that. Do you really think I'm scared? I'm not scared."

"Well, it's illegal to steal, but not to sell. Are you really not afraid? If you are, look back at the back of your car. Is there someone standing waiting for you?"
