Taxi at night

Chapter 19 Chapter o19, goodbye small-eyed man

Lu Ren drove to the fork, and turned into the sandy road on the right at the request of Boss Xie.

This rural road leading to the mining area is about 20 kilometers long, passing through two brigades and three natural villages, namely Heishi Village, Shuitang Village and Funnel Village.Going forward, after passing the funnel village, go straight for 3 kilometers, and you will reach the jurisdiction of the mining area.

The design width of the entire rural road is about 5 meters, just enough to allow two trucks to pass each other and run side by side.This rural road looks ordinary and inconspicuous, but it is one of the two main roads for the ore to come out of the mountain, which is very important.

In recent years, the ore business seems to have developed rapidly, gradually covering all parts of the country.There are more and more employees, and trucks come and go like running water day and night, making this rural road already overwhelmed, and it has become unrecognizable and horrible.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.The plan to rebuild this golden line was formally proposed soon, and the preparatory work was quickly completed.According to the gossip that Lu Ren heard, construction will start in April next year and will be completed in early October, which will take half a year.

Lu Ren passed through Heishi Village in half-light and half-darkness, and soon the car body was covered with gray-brown dust. Wipers... Environmental pollution is suffocating.

There are dozens of ore processing factories, large and small, in the village. Whenever the enterprises start production, this strange scene of closing the day will suddenly appear.

"Boss Xie, did you just say that the damaged road has been maintained these two days? I'm a little worried... The car is low and low, don't make it difficult." Lu Ren hated being in a harsh environment, and was even more worried about the road ahead.If Boss Xie hadn't guaranteed that the road would be repaired and paved, he would have chosen to detour from the county road without hesitation. Although the road was farther, it was still flat.

"Brother, listen to people's advice and eat enough food. The road conditions were poor a few times ago, and my brother didn't make it difficult for you. I took the county road directly. It's fake! ... Besides, we are born once and acquainted the second time, no matter what happens. My friend, I won't coax you." Boss Xie felt that he was underestimated by Lu Ren, and his tone was a little unfair.

"I was scared of being cheated by some people in the mining area, and I became suspicious. Boss Xie, please don't misunderstand me. Please take the time." Lu Ren recalled the past few times he had been with him, and he had never deceived himself. It is inevitable that I will feel embarrassed.

"Understood, understood, what do we brothers say about our temper! My brother, although the road surface has been padded, it must not be a serious road construction. If it is crushed, it will leave deep ruts, especially the one in front of the toll booth, so be careful."

Due to the frequent traffic of trucks and the serious damage to the roads, in line with the principle that whoever uses it should repair it, the relevant personnel temporarily built a toll station one kilometer away from the mining area, 20 yuan for large trucks and 10 yuan for small trucks. Due to the daily traffic of hundreds of The fees charged are considerable.

Lu Ren heard Boss Xie's reminder clearly, nodded, and rushed forward along the village road paved with river sand.

Soon I came to the toll booth. From a distance, there were many vehicles parked at both ends of the toll booth, some of which were parked to pay the toll, and some trucks moved forward slowly. The body of the vehicle shook obviously, probably passing through the newly padded pit. Bar.

Lu Ren carefully passed through the pit and came to the toll booth.There were seven or eight people standing there, seeming to be arguing, making a lot of noise.

"Why should you pay? I've never heard of the fact that you have to pay when you return to your own home. I think you are crazy about collecting money..." Judging from the words, it is probably the villagers who live nearby. Many of these people have Most of the private cars are fishing for food in the mining area.Facing the toll of 20 yuan per day, if you can avoid it, you will not pay it. Lu Ren understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

"If you don't pay, no one's car will work... Be quick, the road will be blocked by you." Lu Ren's voice seemed familiar to Lu Ren, but when he looked up, he was a thin middle-aged man standing on crutches, The small eyes are not big, and they look fierce.

Lu Ren's heart skipped a beat. It just so happened that it was the one who broke his leg in Qingshui Township.Yuanjia Road is narrow, and now we meet again at the toll booth.

Lu Ren's direction was unobstructed, and soon he walked past the small-eyed man.As if it was time for the two to meet each other, the small-eyed man purposely turned his head and glanced at Lu Ren. His small eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he broke away suddenly, revealing a cold light... Lu Ren stepped up the accelerator and passed by. After walking more than ten meters away, I heard a faint roar, "Boy, I'm waiting for you to come back."

Lu Ren's hearing has improved recently, so he doesn't think he's deaf and hard of hearing.

"This guy is endless. I really thought I was afraid that he would fail." Lu Ren gritted his teeth, his heart burst into flames, and he yelled out unconsciously, which caused Boss Xie to look surprised, and asked: "Brother, who provoked him?" you?"

"Does Boss Xie know the man with the cane?" Lu Ren asked back.

"He... looks familiar. He doesn't seem to be a local. What's wrong? You have a grudge against him."

"It's a bit contradictory..." Lu Ren recounted in detail how the small-eyed man went to Qingshui Township by car not long ago. After hearing this, Boss Xie frowned.

Silent for a while, Boss Xie said again: "The situation in the mining area is more complicated. You can go back from the county road later and avoid him for a while. As the saying goes, a good man does not suffer from immediate losses. He is more familiar with this place than you, so he is really blocked on the road. , it must be you who suffer first."

After hearing this, Lu Ren, despite being aggrieved in his heart, knew that he was out of good intentions, so he appreciated it and nodded in agreement.

"However, don't worry too much. In the mine, it's not his turn to call the wind and rain, and cover the sky with one hand. Later, I will help you inquire about it, so that you know it." Boss Xie saw that Lu Ren was thinking a little bit, and said very generously.

"I'm not afraid of him. It's just that this guy is guarding the toll booth, and he will meet again sooner or later. I'm afraid the business in the mining area will not be good in the future."

Boss Xie was also speechless after hearing this. He is a prudent person, otherwise, he would not have a place in the mining area where there are strong opponents and the jungle of the jungle.

Based on the friendship between two people, it's not worth it for him to help each other wholeheartedly, regardless of the cost.Being able to exchange news with Lu Ren, eliminate hidden dangers in advance, and reach the current level is the end.

With something on my mind, I drove into the mining area unknowingly.The entire mining area is divided into two parts: the upper mining area, which is mainly used for ore mining and rough processing.A gravel road spiraled upwards, and the machines on both sides of the factory roared, the mine carts flew like shuttles, and the dust was flying, as if you were in a huge construction site.The lower mining area is a place for living and working. It has formed a small town where people gather and live conveniently. It is even more lively and prosperous than ordinary towns.

Parked in front of a hotel called "Tianfu Cuisine". Boss Xie packed up his luggage and put 1000 yuan in cash into a red envelope. He looked up at the beaming gate with colored lights hanging high, and turned to ask Lu Ren: "Brother, how about a piece?" How about rubbing it in the past?"

"That's bad, don't turn around and be kicked out, you'll lose your face." Lu Ren joked.

"This person has the best face. The more guests come, the more I like it... To take a step back, you really think that all the guests who come are gifts, and half of them are good." Boss Xie said disapprovingly.
