i'm not a bad man

Chapter 337 Tired of wandering
Qiao Jiao had probably never driven a manual car before, and the engine stalled on a hill, which involved the technique of starting on a manual hill, so even though she tried several times, the car was still trembling. After that, the engine was turned off without exception, and a dozen private cars were blocked behind the RV. Some anxious car owners finally couldn't hold it anymore and started honking their horns crazily from behind...

Qiao Jiao is not a good-tempered person. After she pulled on the handbrake of the car, she got out of the car and pointed at the driver behind her and said something... And I had already walked towards her quickly, and now the person's Life is stressful, and I feel a little angry. I'm afraid that she can't control her emotions, which will lead to escalation of conflicts. As a woman, no matter how bad her temper is, as long as a man takes action, she will never take advantage. of.

……

I rarely make mistakes in judging Qiao Jiao's character and behavior, but this time, I miscalculated. Qiao Jiao did not have a conflict with the driver of the car behind her. She just wanted the driver behind her to help her drive up. Seeing her clasping her hands together, she kept saying nice things to the driver behind her. Although the driver behind her seemed less impatient, he seemed very embarrassed. He probably didn't know how to drive a manual transmission car. After all, manual transmission cars are almost impossible to drive. It has withdrawn from the stage of history. Even I am not willing to drive a manual transmission. I bought this second-hand RV just because I was poor.

Qiao Jiao knocked on the window of another car again, but the driver still waved his hand to her, indicating that he could not drive this old RV; and I also got in the car at this time and drove the car to a flat ground. , waited until the traffic cleared, then opened the car window and waved to Qiao Jiao, who looked confused.

……

Qiao Jiao sat in the passenger seat. She patted her chest and sighed: "I was scared to death. I thought someone had robbed the car. All my work for the past half day was in vain!"

"You don't know how to drive a manual car, so why don't you just call me? Why are you so brave?"

"I can drive. When I took the driver's license test, weren't all manual transmission cars... I just haven't driven one in so many years that I kind of forgot how to operate it."

"That still doesn't mean it won't open."

Qiao Jiao glanced at me sideways, and when she spoke again, she had already changed the subject. She said to me, "Let's go down and see what I have accomplished in the past half day."

I followed Qiao Jiao out of the car and discovered that the four wheels of the car were no longer the original four wheels. Qiao Jiao had replaced them all. I was a little surprised because of this. It turned out that she disappeared for a long time just to When I did this, I thought she was going on a date with some important friend. After all, she rarely goes back to Qingdao now, and there are always some concerned people who need to take this rare opportunity to meet.

Qiao Jiao took a deep breath, and then said to me with a relieved smile: "I asked a friend from the repair shop to evaluate the condition of this RV. He said that he has been running a repair shop for ten years and has never seen such an old car. The RV was like a dying person... I told him, you should treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and replace everything you can... I don't know what he changed. Anyway, all the visible wheels have been replaced. He said that the wheels must be replaced because the tires have been worn away. Not only do they have no friction, but there is also a safety risk of tire blowout. He also told me that if you were If you forcefully drive this RV on the road, you won't be able to go a thousand kilometers, and you will definitely be left on the road... It's okay now. He promised me that if you drive another three to fifty thousand kilometers, there will be no problem at all. Thirty to fifty thousand kilometers. If so, it will be enough for you to make a round trip to XJ."

"enough."

Qiao Jiao nodded, and then handed me the keys and spare keys to the RV.

"You...didn't you say that I have to promise you three things before you give me the RV?"

"I seem to have said so, but my mentality now is completely different from my mentality back then... Back then, I used to tease you for fun... Now, I still want you to be happy... So, in the end, I let you do it for me. One thing you have to do is to be happy quickly... Of course I also know that Luan Yu is an irreplaceable woman in your life, but life must go on. If you live in the shadow of self-blame and no turning back your whole life, , then what’s the point of living? Besides, you told me more than once that you don’t have any specific pursuits, you just want to live happily, so you can’t break your promise to yourself..."

"Yes, I said so."

"Be true to your word, let's go back to the small town... I can't wait to see the day when Danangou is revived, no... it's not called Danangou now, it's called Lover's Valley... Speaking of which, you really It’s cruel enough to change the genealogy of an entire village. This is no less lethal than..."

Before Qiao Jiao finished speaking, she was interrupted by me: "Don't make up unfounded things to create conflicts in order to highlight my ruthlessness. I just asked the scenic spot to change its name. Whether they change their family tree in private has nothing to do with me." …It’s because they are too possessive of this scenic spot that they act so extreme. In fact, we have no conflict in principle…”

……

Before leaving Qingdao, I went to a pet store and bought a dog house as a place for Xi Le in the car. Then I drove the RV and took Qiao Jiao on the road back to the small town in the night; Before the highway, Qiao Jiao had been telling me about Liu Chuang, saying that Liu Chuang was unkind. We had worked so hard to help him find the child, but after he found the child, he didn't even say anything to us. I don’t know what kind of brain circuit Liu Chuang has.

I don’t know what to say about this, because before I knew the truth, I had the same complaint as Qiao Jiao.

……

After getting on the highway, Qiao Jiao talked a lot less, and when she calmed down, I had another illusion in my heart, as if I had returned to the time when I traveled around the country with Luan Yu. Countless nights, like now, we are rushing to a far away city. When we first set out on the road, we would have a lot of discussions because of the unknown; gradually we talked less and I was usually the one driving, Luan Yu facing the car. Looking out the window in a daze, Qiao Jiao looked very much like Luan Yu in the past.

Strictly speaking, Qiao Jiao is the second woman to accompany me on this RV trip; but Qiao Jiao is Qiao Jiao and Luan Yu is Luan Yu, and the feelings they bring are completely different. At least, Luan After being in a daze, Yu would fall asleep, but Qiao Jiao would not. I knew that she would still find some topics to talk to me about, not to mention that there was an additional dog on the RV that she had never had before.Sure enough, after the RV was overtaken by a car, she asked me again: "Will you leave the small town in the future?...Will you still walk around and live like before?"

"Not anymore."

"why?"

After pondering for a while, I replied: "I don't want to see so much suffering in the world anymore..."

"What kind of suffering have you seen in the world?...I heard you talk about it before, but they were all interesting things and interesting people."

When Qiao Jiao asked this question, I inevitably thought of my godfather and godmother who were far away in Hunan. Their tragedy was that there was no one left to continue their old lives, so they put all their All the emotions have been transferred to me. Unfortunately, I can't really replace their son, because the blood relationship is irreversible; and the infatuated man I met in Changchun. After so many years, I don't know if he is still on that bus. Waiting on the platform for a woman who has died due to childbirth? ...Finally, it’s the idiot I met in Guizhou. Thinking of him makes me sad. After so many years, I haven’t changed my mobile phone number. I just dreamed that one day he would call me...

Even myself has become a tragedy. The woman who accompanied me through 296 cities died so quietly, and we didn't even see her for the last time.

When these experiences are lingering in my heart, I don't have the motivation and desire to continue going. I don't even want to go to XJ, because no matter how I look at it, XJ is a place of regret for me.

I finally opened my mouth and said to Qiao Jiao, who had been waiting for my answer: "I don't want to recall that experience anymore... I think small towns are good. There are not so many people, and there are not so many life and death."

"But the small town is too boring. I think it would be a terrible thing to live there for the rest of my life."

"You can choose to go back to Qingdao to live."

"What about you, do you really want to dedicate your whole life to that small town?"

"I don't want to go anywhere anyway... I want to stop and live like a normal person."

Qiao Jiao sighed feebly and said: "If you really answered those words, the young dragon-slaying boy turned into an evil dragon in the end... You are no longer the fighter who dares to challenge life!"

I fell into silence, silence because there was no way to refute...

I really bowed my head to life!

Han Chao was actually tired of wandering and tired of the novelty and knowledge along the way.

……

Qiao Jiao was not familiar with manual transmission cars and couldn't let me drive, so when I couldn't stand it late at night, I parked the car in the service area. It wasn't until Qiao Jiao was lying on the bed that I suddenly remembered that this was It was an RV, and Qiao Jiao didn't seem to mind. She asked me, who had been sitting in the driver's seat, "Why don't you come to bed and sleep for a while?"

"You go to sleep, I'll sleep in the driver's seat." (Follow the author's Weixin public account: ***, reply "B&B" to view the prototype of Tank Inn B&B. Reply "Lu Xi" "Qiao Jiao" to view the character picture! You can also view latest chapter)
Just as I was waiting for Qiao Jiao to turn off the light, she said to me again: "To be honest, I'm a little scared... This is the bed you and Luan Yu slept on. Could she, she, she..."

I looked at her speechlessly.

"You come over and sleep. Can't we each sleep on one side?"
