Taxi at night

Chapter 1, The Nightmare

Do you believe in fate?
Lu Ren smiled bluntly, my fate is up to me, it is an idealism.

So... what about chance?

Lu Ren was stunned. He didn't believe it before, but today he had to believe it, especially when he woke up and found lying on a hospital bed, several local reporters gathered around him with pleasant surprises to interview him...

Blessed by trouble?

A surge of joy suddenly rose in his mind, "I'm not dead!"

"I thought I was dead, but...the underworld has no hospitals and no reporters to interview..."

Lu Ren regained consciousness from his bewilderment, and finally heard who was speaking clearly.

"Hey, Comrade Lu, are you awake?"

"Look, the eyeballs are rolling, it should be awake..."

"Oh, doctor, we can interview...?"

"Let me check..."

Lu Ren felt his eyelids being lifted, stretched open and then lowered... A smell of disinfectant stimulated him to sneeze, "Wake up, that's fine."

The hospital bed sank suddenly, and several recording pens were stretched out to the corner of his mouth.

The sudden oppressive feeling made the atrium tremble, and the whole body constricted, and the image of being tightly strangled by a pair of small frozen hands appeared in his mind.

He took the girl and swam to the shore with all his strength, but the girl grabbed his body hard, making it extremely difficult for him to carry on.

It was close, only a few meters away, and a few branches were stretched out obliquely, and he grabbed the treetop with all his strength... The river surged through the top, and his mouth was forced to open, in exchange for a burst of bubbles, the two of them instantly sank into the deep and cold In the river where there are no fingers...

"Hey, what's wrong with you, your face is pale...?"

"Don't be afraid, you are saved, this is a hospital!"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, a little nervous, waiting in the middle of the night, my God!Don't faint anymore... The leader is waiting for news!
Nonsense... all around me, can you not be nervous!
Lu Ren was powerless to complain...

"Girl... Where's the girl?"

I spit out every word, I feel that I am exerting all my strength, but my voice is like a mosquito, and my breath is like a gossamer... Fortunately, I feel that the basic functions are still there, and I should be fine.

"What?...Girl...oh, alive..."

Everyone looked over with joy and was busy comforting.

What is a hero... this is it!How enlightened, how deep the state, the first sentence when you wake up and ask "how is the girl", vivid materials, original ecological examples, it is you... It is worth staying up half the night!

"I'm a reporter from XX City TV station, can I ask a question?"

"I'm a reporter from Dajiang Daily, and I want to interview you too."

"I'm a reporter from XX City Daily, and I want to ask a few questions."

...thank goodness it's finally working.

Lu Ren nodded, struggling to speak, but gave up.

"Last night, you were the first to jump into the river to save someone, right?"

How fresh, have you ever seen midnight, cold autumn in September, compared to jumping into the river to save people... Lu Ren rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Know the overboard girl?" This one matters, and it makes all the difference in newsworthiness.

It is also a sacrifice to save acquaintances and strangers, regardless of the meaning, but the nature of excavation is not the same.

Everyone is dazzling.

"No...know." Lu Ren opened his mouth and spit out lightly, lacking in breath, but much more coherent and clear, his tongue was obviously in place, and his body was recovering.

"Oh……"

"what……"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, consistent with the rumors, and continued to ask questions.

"How did you find the overboard man?"

"She...jumped...jumped by herself."

"What?...Suicide?...You said, she committed suicide?"

"whispering sound……"

"you sure?"

Everyone was in an uproar, midnight, girl, suicide... Ouch, this scene is very familiar, and it's also very bloody, and the titles immediately appeared in everyone's minds: Why did the girl commit suicide in the middle of the night, "The young girl was rescued by diving" and so on...

The subject matter is old-fashioned, but the young man who is lying down is genuine in saving lives. If it is a fake, it will be exchanged for the real one, not the fake ones in the acting and filming.

The whole thing is full of positive social energy, which is in line with the positive personality they promote.

"Can you tell me about the process of saving lives?"

Lu Ren closed his eyes slightly, recalled the scene at that time, and then slowly said that it was related to his future glorious image, so he had to be cautious in his words and deeds.

The whole matter was not complicated, Lu Ren drove a rented taxi to solicit customers at night.

Last night...no...it should be about one o'clock this morning, at the intersection of Dananmen Street, I picked up a female passenger who stopped a car.

The female guest is in her early twenties, with a short-sleeved dress and a guitar speaker on her back. As soon as she gets in the car, she smells a strong smell of alcohol... He has seen this kind of girl a lot, so he guesses she must be a showgirl. , and often stay in the area around the Dananmen Night Market, which is considered a great sight here.

The only thing that puzzled him was that these girls had better singing skills, and they used their skills to work part-time at night to make money, and they didn't drink alcohol when they were working.

This one was just the opposite, his mouth was full of alcohol, as if his clothes also smelled of alcohol.

And there was more than one surprise. After a few words, Lu Ren couldn't help but wrinkled his forehead and felt a headache.

Why?

Because the female passenger has strange requirements, neither going home nor destination, but just asking to take a ride for a stroll.

People who drive taxis are still afraid of money?

Despite his doubts, Lu Ren drove around in circles.

In the second half of the night, the business was slow. Except for a few night markets and a few KTV bars, there was not a single pedestrian beaten with a stick on the streets of the whole city.

The meter was beating wildly, and the red numbers were particularly dazzling in the night, gradually approaching the [-]-yuan mark.

Lu Ren stole glances at the girl countless times, and saw her leaning against the passenger door and staring out of the window without looking at her, her expression indifferent.

It began to drizzle quietly at night, and there was a slight chill in the scene. The girl was wearing a short-sleeved white dress, but she was unmoved.

Weird... Weird!At first glance...it's strange and weird.

Lu Ren became more and more surprised and uneasy.

Of course, girls who sell singing are not big money, even if they are big money, they won't sing in the middle of the night...

Strange things happen every year, and they happened again tonight.

Walking to a bridge over the moat, the Dananmen Night Market is at the other end of the bridge...the two turned back.

"Stop the car." The singing girl suddenly said coldly, not loudly, but still startled him. The meter stopped abruptly at 121 yuan.

"God, finally get out of the car!"

Lu Ren settled the fare with the girl, looked at the singing girl standing on the bridge, sighed silently, cheered and drove away.

The incident is strange, it is better to stay away.

Five minutes later, Lu Ren turned around and came back... There was a guitar speaker of a singing girl on the back seat, worth thousands of dollars, and he couldn't bear it, so he returned the same way.

Then a thrilling scene happened on the bridge. When the girl saw him coming back, she smiled sadly in the cold wind and drizzle, and she jumped down...

Damn, it really dances!

Lu Ren immediately got out of the car, shouted for help, and jumped off at the last moment... Several passing cars stopped, and someone rushed over.

The time was the early morning of September 20, 1, when a taxi driver jumped and became a good citizen for righteousness.

History will record this moment, as evidenced by TV reports, and of course local county annals.

Three days later, on September 9, terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in the United States, causing heavy casualties and killing thousands of people, shocking the world.

Afterwards, Lu Ren often thought, that September was really unusual, everyone was busy saving people.

The singing girl also woke up in the same morning. To Lu Ren's embarrassment, the girl did not admit that she committed suicide, but only said that she fell into the water by mistake...

The motive became a mystery, but no one investigated it carefully, after all, it was true that Lu Ren jumped into the water to save people.

Afterwards, the reporter interviewed on the spot, and many people scrambled to tell about the feat they had witnessed.

The only fly in the ointment was that the mobile phone video was not good at that time, and the historical picture of Lu Ren's sacrifice to save people was not recorded. The missed opportunity often made him feel deeply regretful and heartbroken.

Fortunately, not long after, he received a bonus of 1 yuan for his bravery, which was also a surprise.
