Everywhere 王安忆 9994Words 2018-03-20
Maodou drove the car on the elevated outer ring road, crossed the Yangpu Bridge, and headed north.The great king sat beside him, and behind him came the second and third kings.The sun has stained the car windows golden.The people in the car didn't look tired, on the contrary, they all had high spirits.Because I am young, even if I only sleep for a short sleep at dawn, I can refresh myself after washing my face with cold water.Among them, the oldest one is only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and the rest are eighteen, nineteen, and twenty next to each other.Because they are young, they are also very happy, and if you can put your ears in, you can hear how funny they talk.And don't oversimplify them by thinking they're just glib, they actually have a unique perspective on things, and that perspective is the source of their humor.So, a sense of humor is not a personal style, but a worldview.For example, among them, the one known as the second king made a discovery about the vehicles in front of the vehicle, behind the vehicle, and on the left and right.He said: Did you find out?Anyone who drives a good car, such as BMW, Audi, Cadillac, or anyone who drives a good car, looks ugly. The few of us are not ugly because our cars are relatively poor.So they laughed.In other words, they really don't look bad, and it's strange that they all look a little like each other!In fact, there is no mystery, because you are young.Young people always have clear eyebrows and eyes, as long as there is no particularly conspicuous irregularity, they all look good.In addition to being young, they also lead a life based on physical strength, which makes them thin but strong in both face shape and physique, and also increases their good looks and resemblance.In terms of temperament, the king sitting in the front seat is calmer. Of course, he is already older than those few.There was a thoughtful expression on his face, which made his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his masseter muscles tightened, and the lines of his cheeks hardened, forming a square face shape.Also because of his thinking, his eyes are brighter and sharper than those others, and under his slightly frowning eyebrows, he looks far into the distance.It may be that he talked too much last night, but now, he has become very silent and did not participate in the chat.When someone uttered a witty remark, he just smiled silently, then lost himself in thought again.The one driving next to him was also silent, not thinking about anything, but with a worried expression, and also a little unhappy, as if he had been wronged.If you say that he is not like him, he is the least like one of them. This is not because of his facial features, but because he looks out of date, and he is a little alienated from those people.He was also dressed differently from them. They wore jeans, a leather jacket, and the one in front was wrapped in an army coat, in a casual style.As for him, he was wearing a navy blue suit with a collared shirt and a tie, looking very formal.He is the dissonant voice in this car.

Therefore, the chatting and joking in the car was basically carried out by the two people in the back seat.They sang together and made fun, because they were all troublemakers, so it was very lively.The two of them were the kind that would be thought of as brothers, but they weren't.Brothers in a family are often not alike, just like branches on a tree, which tend to grow farther and farther away.And two people who are not related by blood, because of the deep friendship and loyal admiration between them, get along day and night, and they will become more and more alike.This is the power of acquired social life.They have the same happy expression, teasing language style, and the habit of pressing one hand on the back of the other when they are happy, and snapping their knuckles one by one.Also, as is often the case with the closest siblings, an imperceptible difference subtly separates them.The slightly older one had narrow brows, which made him look like he was scowling when he was not smiling.Moreover, when inadvertently, he would occasionally make a violent action, for example, slamming the seat surface, or stamping his heels, causing the people around him to jump.The younger one is quiet and even docile.He obediently followed the slightly larger one, like a parrot, and what the other said, he said too, like an echo.Even when he was happy, he pressed the knuckles one by one, and he was a beat and a half behind.The knuckles "Ka Ba Ba" sounded over there, followed by "Ka Ba Ba" here, which sounded like "Canon" in the chorus.However, even so, people will not blindly follow the other, and there are some independent opinions in the quietness of this one.If you watch the eyes between them, you will find this.That is, when that one suddenly made some kind of violent action, this one only needed to look at him, and he realized it and stopped it.So, perhaps not behaviorally, but at least emotionally, this one effectively controls the other.

Speaking of which, the people in the car still have their own personalities, and their situations are also different, but fate brought them together.Before the morning rush hour for work, the car had already got off the elevated bridge at Hengfeng Road, drove across Hutai Road, and then drove onto Hujia Expressway.Oncoming, the traffic flow towards the urban area seemed to be surging, while the road out of the urban area was unimpeded, which made their car seem to be traveling in the opposite direction.The two people in the back also became quiet at this time, looking at the houses and farmland passing by outside the car window, only the sound of the engine was heard in the car for a while.In this bright day, their behavior seemed to have become a little scary, so they fell silent.In an empty period of time, there were no cars in the front, back, left, or right, and they were the only ones left in the world, alone.Fortunately, their car caught up with a "Su" truck in front, and then, soon, a car came in front, and the world became more active again.But when they got to the toll booth, there was a small car formation in front of the station, as if all the scattered cars were waiting for them here, and they fell silent again.The eyes of the two people in the back seat were fixed on the one in the driver's seat, but the person in the front seat turned his eyes away and looked in another direction.The driver rolled down the window, delivered a bill, took the receipt, rolled up the window again, and the car moved on.Although the people in the car didn't speak, it was obvious that the air was loose.The older and more mature person in the front seat had a smile on his mouth, which distorted the shape of his mouth slightly, one side was high and the other was low, and this was what gave him an extraordinary demeanor.He moved in his seat and said, "Let's sing a song!"So, except for the driver, everyone sang in unison: "Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight, no matter the end of the world or the end of the world, we all embrace the same embrace, and wish the motherland well--" They sang very well, and their timbres were all mellow and bright, not only In this way, they also have a unique understanding of the song.This euphemistic piece is not suitable for chorus, but their chorus did not reduce its lyrical style, but made it fuller. It sounds quite exciting!Maodou was also a little infected, and his angry face softened at this moment.Running on this highway, the sun is shining on the top, and the white road surface is constantly receding and extending below. Although the cars around us are close at hand, they are actually far away in the world, and they all go to their own goals. Passing by, who knows what is hidden inside?Who knows who's "tonight" is like, you are your "tonight", and I am mine!This song is a bit sad, making people's nose sour.

They sang heartily, singing from the bottom of their hearts.You know, what a dangerous route they took just now?They even hijacked people and cars, returned from Pudong to Puxi, and passed through Shanghai.Moreover, the hijacked person, Maodou—what a strange name, it sounds like a rich life from Anju, sow melons, sow beans and reap beans, Maodou, he drove the car voluntarily and carried them From Pudong back to Puxi, cross Shanghai via the outer ring road.This is the special feature of the king's tactics, and it is also superior to others.Your Majesty often tells them that the era of violence has passed, and the era of the strong preying on the weak has passed. What kind of era is it now?It is the age of contract.What is the United Nations?The United Nations is the Pact Organization.What is diplomacy?Diplomacy is contract.Therefore, in this era of contracts, one must abide by the rules and make use of the rules in order to be able to move forward unimpeded.But——as soon as the word "but" is uttered, it shows that the king will lead the theory to a deeper place. This is not a simple turning point, but the nature of a lever principle, using a small mechanism to increase the strength—— However, in order for the contract to be effectively implemented, first of all, it is necessary to cultivate people's contract spirit, so that they can consciously enter into the track of the contract; secondly, there needs to be authority - this sounds a bit contradictory, doesn't it?Because the premise of the contract is equality, how can there be authority?This is dialectics, what is the unity of opposites?What is democratic centralism?What is market operation under the planned economic system?In short, what is a contradiction?Here, the king will tell a story about a man who sells spears and shields, and ends with a question from a customer: What if your spear pierces your shield?The philosophical issues involved here are very profound.Simple, or specific to the relationship between the contract and authority, it is actually one sentence: who will formulate and manage the contract?That's authority.Observance of contract and confirmation of authority, these two items temporarily require force under certain circumstances, just like the relationship between the emperor conquering the world and the people enjoying the world - without Qin Wang Li Shimin initiating the Xuanwu Gate Change, where would the hundreds of people come from? In the prosperous Tang Dynasty?Well, without further ado, the current facts prove that the era of contract is coming, at least, the contract between them and Maodou is successful.Maodou didn't even realize that at the Shanghai-Jiajia Expressway toll station, he called for help from the people in the station, and missed this good opportunity and the last chance in a blink of an eye.Now, they have been driving on the territory of Jiangsu, leaving Maodou's hometown, Shanghai.

At this time, they changed to a cheerful song, and it seemed that they often sang it, and they had practiced it flawlessly.The most unexpected thing is that in some drag sounds, the second king and the third king hit the knuckles of the fingers in turn, click it, and play the accompaniment effect of maracas.Moreover, there is more or less such a meaning, which is to perform to the new Maodou, because the song is: "Ah, come, come, come, come, come, sweat pours out friendship flowers, and pure love shines—" Maodou The depression in my heart eased a little.However, in terms of face, Maodou still can't get rid of it, partly because he is really angry; the other part is also because, how can Maodou be a fellow with them.So, he must be angry.Several times the king asked him if he was tired and if he wanted to drink water, and the people behind him immediately brought mineral water bottles, but he ignored it.The king smiled, and the meaning of "Adults don't blame villains" is over.But when the king handed a cigarette to his mouth, he had no choice but to hold it.Then, he lowered his head to catch the fire given by the king, and the two heads moved so close that the relationship between them seemed to be getting closer.The king motioned to lower the car window, and he obeyed. It seemed that he was also the king's man.

The king breathed out a puff of smoke from the crack of the window, the scenery outside the window gradually changed, and the fields became vast and desolate.In the middle of the field, there are some simple factories with smoke coming out of the chimneys.Occasionally, I saw one or two farmers digging something in the fields under the road. The fields that had been harvested in autumn were gray and white.I have also met naughty children throwing stones at their cars, making them realize how ostentatious a Shanghai taxi is on the roads of other provinces.The people in the car fell silent again. At this moment, Dawang lit his cigarette forward, and Maodou drove the car off the 204 National Highway and down to the ordinary road.He can already understand the expression of the king now.On the highway, a young girl greeted the car and stretched out her hand, wanting to lure customers to her restaurant.The way they stopped the car was a bit rigid, with their arms retracted, half-opened palms, shaking once, and shaking again, it was not like blocking a car, but like greeting, as if the passing guests were all her acquaintances.They had a coy and bold smile on their faces, it was a shameless smile that then went all out, so it became a shameless smile.It is only tens of kilometers away from that Shanghai, and the ladies are much more rustic.Their posture of intercepting the front of the car has an energy that is not afraid of death, just like subduing a disobedient donkey in the mill road.They held onto the car body with their hands and ran for more than ten meters before the car stopped slowly.There are also some cars that don't care and drive on their own, and the lady will catch up with them for a hundred meters, or even a hundred and fifty meters.When encountering a boring driver, he sticks his head out of the car window and makes an indecent gesture to ask his "sister" to come on.The young lady changed her countenance, cursed and stopped.At noon, the atmosphere on the road became intense, and the ladies all stood up from their respective shops.As for the car, he hesitated to slow down, fearing that he might overwhelm the young lady, and those who were serious about looking for food also hesitated, looking at which restaurant would be suitable.The ladies walked around among the slow-moving vehicles to wait for the guests.It seems that in awe of the taxis from Shanghai, most of the ladies let go of this ordinary Santana and chased those long-distance trucks.The car passed through the sound of horns and the criss-crossed traffic formation, and left the road with dense restaurants.The car continued along the road, and there were few restaurants on the roadside. Occasionally, I saw a young lady wearing a peach red or willow green sweater, her hands and face were purple from the cold, standing on the road.He had no business for a long time, and his expression was a little dull. When the car whized by, he thought of stretching out his hand, but it was too late, leaving only a terrified expression on the faces of the people in the car.It was past noon, and the king finally ordered to stop in front of a restaurant.

The king directed the rear of the car to lean against the wall and park the car with the front facing the road. The people in the car came out in a single file, first went to the back of the house to pee, then asked the boss for hot water to wash their hands and face, and waited for the food and wine to be served.This restaurant is a new two-story building, with mosaic veneer on the exterior wall, and colorful tiles around the windows and doors. Although it is rustic and eccentric, it has a kind of brilliance, and you can see the owner's thoughts on life.The floor has been raised by two steps, and a square of sunlight shines through the door, and Maodou sits in the sunlight to keep warm.The temperature here seems to be much lower than in Shanghai, and it is also dry and windy.After only half a day's trip, Maodou's face became chapped, and many small cuts appeared all at once.Clasp your hands together, rub them together, and there's a rustling sound.When I touch my hair, it also rustles.Through the soles of his leather shoes, he could feel the coolness of the floor tiles, and he couldn't help but hang his feet and step on the rungs of the stool, resting his chin on his hands, like a sad bird.Maodou looked at his car with indifferent eyes, just like looking at someone else's car.What does this car have to do with him?He thought indifferently of another owner of the car, his partner, Lao Cheng.Old Cheng must be scolding himself, he will think that he will take the long distance, so he will not give him the car; and the real owner of this car, the company-knocked out the bone marrow of Maodou, can't afford to pay back the car of.But what did all this have to do with him?All he cared about was getting home.When I tell it, I am afraid that people will not believe it. Maodou has grown so big, and there has never been a night without going home.He was such a stay-at-home kid.He has already expressed his position, he doesn't want the car, as long as he is allowed to go home, but the king insists on treating him fairly, asking him to take his share before leaving, and not taking it!He can only stay.But when can the car be cashed in?

On the dining table behind him, wine and dishes were put on the table. After calling him several times, he turned around reluctantly, dragged his stool away, and sat down.After pouring him wine, he pushed aside and said that he couldn't drink if he wanted to drive.The king said that he didn't need to drive in the afternoon, and pushed the wine back to him, so he had to drink.He is a little afraid of the king!On the one hand, the king decides whether and when he can go home, that is, he holds the power to execute the contract;It should be said that it is the temperament of the leader that makes people have to obey him.As the saying goes: If one person is in the corner, the whole family will be unhappy.Because Maodou was depressed, the atmosphere at the table was inevitably a bit dull, so the king said: "Make a drinking order, "Solitaire". "Jielong" means that one person says a word, and the next person must use his ending as the beginning of the word, and then say another word, so that it is passed on end to end, and whoever fails to catch up will admit defeat and be punished with wine.The king starts with the first two words: drink.The next one to follow: Jiuxian.Next one: Immortal.Then it was Maodou's turn. Maodou lowered his head and refused to answer.People urged him to pick it up and let him choose whether to pick it up or drink.Maodou still kept his head down and didn't drink, he held his breath in his heart, wondering why they ordered him, did he know them?The king smiled tolerantly, and said, "I will pick it up on behalf of Maodou, people!"Hearing that the king picked it up for him, Maodou felt a little uneasy, and murmured something, but no one heard it, and "Solitaire" continued.After picking up the sentence on behalf of Maodou just now, the king answered it again: people.Next up: everyone.The next one is "the people" again, and they come back, does it count?Then there was controversy.There was already a "people" before, and now there is another one, which is tantamount to plagiarism and should be punished with alcohol.However, this one was not convinced, and said that if the punishment should be punished by the family, because he said "people" in "people" is wrong, and the word "people" has already ended before, which is clearly a trap for the next generation. home jump.The two argued endlessly, and when it got heated, they both spoke their strange dialect, but Maodou didn't understand a word.His Majesty reminded them to speak Mandarin, saying that Hong Kong is promoting Mandarin, so why should they not speak Mandarin?So back to Mandarin.After arguing for a long time without making a decision, the king said: To punish or not to punish, the decision lies in Maodou, because Maodou is the "people"'s next family, and Maodou has the final say whether to continue or not!The king handed over the arbitration right to Maodou, and Maodou couldn't talk anymore.After a pause, he uttered two words: popular support.The king smiled with satisfaction, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a sip.There is no alcohol in front of the king, as if he is absolutely sure that he will not lose and not be punished.Later, Maodou will find that the king does not drink at all, and he never loses.At this point, "Solitaire" continues: people's hearts, hearts, organs, organs, officials, employees, workers, favors, emotions, feelings, awareness, comprehension, temperament, emotions, emotions, emotions, emotions-this is a bit intentional, It's not like playing table tennis, pushing it over, blocking it, so the penalty is to drink and start a sentence.Maodou was next. He glanced at the king, and the king was looking at him encouragingly. This look was a bit like that of a brother!Because Maodou's elder brother has always been suppressed, he does not have the status of an elder brother, so he will not have the self-consciousness of being an elder brother.Maodou's father is also a withdrawn character, not someone who makes people feel dependable.Speaking of which, Maodou's family has a sense of yin and yang decline. They are all women. His mother and sister have strong personalities, so Maodou has never accepted the authority of men.Now, he felt it from the eyes of the king.This kind of deterrent force from men seems to be more responsible, and it is more leisurely to execute.Like his mother and sister, who are always restrained by scolding, cursing, and even tears, it is actually disturbing.

Maodou begins with a four-character idiom: enough wine and food.The king answered: eat all day long.Two kings connect: As time goes by.Three Kings: A long-term plan.Maodou: Take it to heart.Your Majesty: Treat headaches.The second king answered it very well: he was very straightforward!The Three Kings: The road is broad—there was a debate about whether this sentence is an idiom.Although it cannot be regarded as an idiom, but—San Wang said that he did not say in advance that it must be an idiom, as long as it is four characters.So, let it go.This accommodation will be released in the future: vast space, geographical location, replacement of houses, rain leaking from the roof-this sentence, even Maodou couldn't help laughing, if there is nothing to discuss, he will be punished with alcohol.After drinking the penalty, they took a few more rounds. Except for the king, everyone drank the penalty and the game was almost done.After dinner, the king asked the boss to open a room. The boss immediately became nervous and said: We don't do this business.The second and third kings yelled at him, calling him who they thought they were?It can be seen that they specialize in this kind of business, and there is no silver three hundred taels here!The boss told them to reprimand them so much that they didn't know what to do. After a long time of embarrassment, they realized that they just wanted a place to rest, so he led them to the second floor and opened a large room.The room is full of bedroom furniture, except for a big bed, there are also large and small sofas, which turned out to be the boss and his wife's own room.The two kings and the three kings went to bed, Maodou slept on the sofa, and the king stayed awake, sitting on the single sofa and smoking.Maodou saw the king's face blurred in the smoke, gradually receding, and lost sight.When Maodou opened his eyes, the room was already full of twilight, and the king was still sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette.Take a closer look, but the king has become the second king. Where did the king go?Maodou looked at the ceiling. Plastic vines hung from the plastic flower ceiling, and there were bunches of small light bulbs hidden inside, not grapes.The boss and the proprietress are newcomers!The bedding on the bed is fresh red and green, and the furniture on the walls is brand new oil yellow, shining brightly even in the dark twilight.At this time, he saw the Three Kings sitting on another single sofa.The second king and the third king sat on his head and feet, clearly holding him hostage.Where is the king?Edamame sat up all of a sudden.

The second and third kings sat on the sofa, looking at him and smiling.In the dark, this smile looked very mysterious.Maodou said: What to do?do nothing!Those two said.Maodou stood up and wanted to go out, but the second king stretched out his foot and blocked his way: what are you doing?do nothing!Maodou said, step over the feet of the second king.With a barb, Erwang almost tripped Maodou.The edamame is on fire, so I have to go out.At this time, the second and third kings got up, stood in front of him, and asked him to go back to the sofa.Maodou pushed them with his hands. At first they let him push, but later seeing that his hands were heavy, they couldn't help pushing him back.So, coming and going again and again, there is a sense of fighting.After a while, they didn't fight.One of the two has the upper hand, so naturally you have to be graceful, and you can't seriously care about which one.In the end, he pushed that one onto the sofa, and held his hands from left to right, looking as if he was very close to him.The second king and the third king said earnestly: We cannot let you go.Maodou said: What power do you have?Who are you to me?Why do you want me to listen to you?Maodou's anger flared up again, because his movements were restricted again; also because the king was not around; moreover, somewhat subtly, he felt that the king was good to him, so he was not afraid of them.After finishing speaking, he wanted to stand up again, but they held his hands tightly, and pulled him back to the sofa again.The three kings coaxed: Let's watch TV.Handing Maodou's hand to Er Wang for safekeeping, he turned on the TV in front of the multi-purpose cabinet placed across the sofa and leaning against the wall.Erwang took Maodou's two hands, and pulled his body sideways, as if the two of them were hugging.The TV was turned on, but the Three Kings did not come back, so they switched channels with the remote control.The switching speed is very fast, and the picture is changed rapidly, and the sound is also changed rapidly, which sounds like choking.The TV screen flickered, and the room became grotesque and eerie.The door was pushed open, and the boss's face was poked in, asking if he wanted dinner.Answer wait, the boss backed out, and the door was closed tightly.

The three kings returned to the sofa and asked for Maodou's hand back. The three of them sat side by side in a friendly manner and watched TV.The TV was tuned to the channel of Shanghai TV, although it was very blurry and there were many noises, but the white magnolia logo was familiar.Maodou stared at the screen in a daze, and the screen was replaying the case detection program from the previous day, about an introductory theft case.The three watched the show together, during which there were several commercials, about shampoo, toothpaste, and stomach medicine.After reading it, Er Wang said to Maodou in a sympathetic tone: None of your Shanghai policemen came to look for you.Maodou wanted to answer him, but he didn't come out, just stared at the TV.The three kings comforted and said: They don't want you, but we want you.Maodou ignored him, and the second king said: If you were a rich man, or a big investor in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they would have found you a long time ago, but unfortunately you are not!The three kings interjected, "How snobbish this world is!"The two just sang together, and it could be heard that they wanted to learn from the king's eloquence, but because they didn't have the talent and cultivation of the king, they seemed broken-hearted.The Shanghai program continued to be played on the TV screen, this time it was news.The announcer is familiar, and the alleys on the screen are also familiar. Maodou was stunned, and tears welled up. The two people took advantage of the bright screen to catch a glimpse, and they couldn't help being stunned: He cried!Maodou burst into flames again, struggling to get up, unable to get up, simply bent down to bite their hands, they naturally wouldn't let him bite.The three of them came on the sofa with the ball, and the ball passed the earth for a while, and he was really overwhelmed.You know, ten ordinary people can't handle a madman.In the end, those two couldn't help being anxious, they punched him a few times, and asked: You white-eyed wolf, we treat you sincerely, what are you going to do?Maodou's face was pressed on the sofa, tears choked his throat, he stopped for a while, and said: I want to pee!Those two people let go, but wanted to go to the bathroom with him.The toilet is set in this bedroom, and it is also a newly-married atmosphere. The air is filled with the smell of orange-flavored freshener, and the marble mirror table is full of various cosmetics. He used the comb to straighten the messy hair of the edamame, and unscrewed a can of mousse and sprayed it on the hair.The three of them returned to the sofa and watched TV. After the CCTV news broadcast, the weather forecast began to be broadcast. The three kings saw the lights of the car on the window glass, and said: The king is back!So they turned off the TV, and the three of them went downstairs together, and the king had already entered the door.The king glanced at them, said "eat", and sat at the table to smoke.The second king called the boss to order food, and the third king turned on a TV in the corner.This one was smaller than the other one, and it was worn out, many units were missing, and the signal of many units was blurred.After dialing around, I found a station that was barely readable, and I don't know where it was. The logo of the station was strange and unfamiliar.In the shop, there was actually a bit of a homely atmosphere at this moment.Maodou stopped making trouble. Seeing the king, he couldn't help but calm down.It seems that he knows that it is useless to argue with this person; he also knows that it is reliable to follow this person.The king is a person who exudes such a charm of power strangely.The rice and dishes came to the table quickly. There was no wine, and the dishes were all thick side dishes on large plates. The rice was served in a basin the size of a washbasin.The four of them huffed and buried their heads in eating. It looked like four tigers going downhill, very happy.At most a quarter of an hour, the pots are dry and the bowls are clean.The faces of the four of them did not change, but they seemed to have a layer of glaze on them, giving them a look of radiance.The boss and the proprietress stayed in the kitchen except for serving and removing the dishes, leaving a store to them.Opening a shop by the highway, I don't know how many customers act strangely, they are always invisible and unaware.The four of them put down their bowls and chopsticks, smoked a cigarette after dinner, and the TV screen didn't know what was going on. The sound and picture were intense, but in the roadside restaurant at night, there was a sense of loneliness. .The king said "eat" since he entered the door, and he didn't speak during the meal. At this time, he slowly exhaled a puff of cigarettes and spoke: the situation has changed—the three people looked at him together, but he didn't look at anyone. Pass between the three of them, facing the front—the plan was to sell the car today and let you go home at night.The king said, looking at Maodou.Those two people also looked at Maodou together, Maodou's face flushed red, he never thought that he would be able to go home tonight, but as soon as he knew this, things changed.Unfortunately, in the afternoon, I sent the car to my comrade’s car shop. Unexpectedly, my comrade was on a business trip—the king kept looking at Maodou: I promise you, when my comrade returns from his business trip, the car will be handed over to him. Immediately let you take the money and leave.Where did your comrade-in-arms go on a business trip?There was infinite disappointment in Maodou's voice.The king couldn't help smiling, and said gently: My comrade-in-arms will be back in a few days.Maodou asked again nervously: When will your comrade-in-arms come back?The second king and the third king couldn't stand it any longer: Isn't it too rude to ask so forcefully?The king smiled again and replied again: only a few days.Maodou still refused, and asked again: Can you call your comrade-in-arms and ask.This time, the three laughed together.After laughing for a while, Sanwang said: We don't use mobile phones.It was only then that Maodou discovered that they had never called them on their mobile phones. After their mobile phone was confiscated by them, it was never seen again. Maodou asked: Why don't you use a mobile phone? Isn't it very convenient to communicate with mobile phones?The three of them laughed for a while, and gradually calmed down, the king asked such a question: What do we want to do conveniently?Maodou also laughed: Isn't it convenient?Wouldn't it be better if it was inconvenient?The king then asked: Why is convenience better than inconvenience?Maodou had to hold back his laughter: Is it better to be inconvenient than convenient?There are several fine lines on the king's face showing a tendency to bloom, and a kind of eloquent joy is overflowing.He extinguished the cigarette, and then put the cigarette butt in his pocket - Maodou quickly noticed this habit of the king, he never left the cigarette butt anywhere.The king picked up the cigarette butt and said: Change the way of asking questions, what is convenience?Maodou thought for a while and said: Just be fast!Is there any more?The king glanced around.The second king said: It is easy.Sanwang added: It's just easy.Good—the king nodded—very good, for example, driving is more convenient than walking, because it is fast, easy, and relaxing, right?All three nodded.Okay—the king went on to say—but to drive a car, you need a driver's license, a car, gasoline, and a road—Modou wanted to laugh again, but was stopped forcefully by a finger of the king!Don't laugh, you think you are born with a way?Let me tell you that even the earth was not created by nature.The solar system has been moving for tens of millions of years, and after tens of millions of big bangs, matter split, aggregated, and transformed, and finally the earth came into existence.With the earth, it is not over yet, we have to experience the Ice Age, the Great Flood—the Great Flood, have you read the "Bible"?There is a passage in it about Noah's Ark.The flood was about to submerge the earth, God revealed the news to a good man, Noah, let him be a boat as soon as possible, and survive the catastrophe.In short, how many tens of millions of years of crustal changes have divided the land, mountains, and oceans, and then we can talk about roads; you have all read this sentence: There are no roads in the world, and if there are more people walking, there will be roads. There is a way—Modou suddenly remembered a person, the boss, he also used this sentence, but the meaning was completely different—the king said: There is no road in the world, and when there are many people walking, there will be a road!This refers to the road that people walk, what about the road that cars walk?Have you ever seen a road repair?The three of them were silent, and their expressions became solemn.The king looked at everyone's face once, and the flush of passion faded from his face.After pausing for a while, he finished with a soft sentence: This is the price of convenience!He suddenly laughed, but this laugh was tinged with contempt, and this contempt was not limited to the three people in front of him, but to the vast world. The boss pays the bill!He buckled the table, and the second king stood up in response, counted out the money and paid the bill, and the four walked out of the restaurant.Their car was parked in the dark, Er Wang got into the driver's seat and drove the car out.Looking at the light inside the door, Maodou saw that the license plate on the rear of the car had been replaced with a number starting with "Zhe", but his heart didn't fluctuate much.This car has long been unfamiliar with him.This time, the three kings sat in the front seat, and the king and Maodou sat in the back seat.Maodou touched a windbreaker with nylon surface and vacuum cotton on the car seat, and when he was about to push it away, the king said: Here it is.Maodou was also polite, and put it on.The car got on the road and turned around in the middle of the road.Pulling a distance, look at the roadside restaurant, covered with mosaics and tiles, under the gradually brightening starlight, there is a kind of smoothness like fruit candy, embedded in the night.Their car passed through the night.
