4. Chapter 4 Dead Man's Money
When I heard the old man wanted to send something, my hand holding the express delivery order trembled slightly, and the first thing that sounded in my mind was what Zhou Shun said to me.
First, ask where the elderly are going to send it. If the address is not clear, you can't send it no matter how much money you give it!
Thinking of this, I looked back at the old man, who smiled at me with the box.
"Uncle, where is your son? Where is this to be sent?"
"I'm old, but my mind is still clear. How can I not know where that boy lives in my house?" The old man waved his hand and said to me.
When I heard the old man say that he knew the specific address, I was relieved and said with a smile: "I can send it to you now."
"Uncle, you said the address, I will write it for you." I took out my pen and said with a smile.
His son lives in western Sichuan, not far from us.
When I wrote the address, I paid attention to it carefully until I found that it was the same as the address of the sender I just packaged, which dispelled my doubts.
Finally, I kept collecting the express delivery and always asked me how much it cost. I carried the express delivery price list with me. I opened the price list and took a look. I smiled and said, "You don't have 1 kilogram of this thing, and if you send it to western Sichuan, you will be charged 25 yuan."
No wonder Brother Zhou wants to set up a express delivery store, which charges much higher than that of ordinary express delivery companies.
The old man nodded and turned back to the house to get the money. Not long after, the old man squeezed out three bills, two, ten yuan, and one was five yuan.
The incident of several couriers receiving money from dead people has been echoing in my mind. After taking the money, I carefully held it in my hand and looked at it for a long time, for fear of receiving money from dead people.
The old man also smiled and said, "Relieve me, how can there be fake for ten or five yuan?"
I put away the money in embarrassment, and then said goodbye to the old man and hurried downstairs with the express delivery.
After going downstairs, I put the received express delivery in the back row. When I was about to step on the three donkeys and continue to set out forward, I suddenly felt the phone in my pocket vibrating.
I took out my cell phone and glanced at it and found that it was Zhou Shun who called. I quickly pressed to answer the call and asked him what was going on.
"Where are you?"
"I'm still delivering express delivery in Zizhu Forest!"
"Don't you show me what time it's now!" Zhou Shun asked on the other end of the phone.
I trembled all over when I heard this, and I quickly took my phone in front of me and took a look, but found that it had reached 5:50 and it was about to be six o'clock.
I have to go out of Zizhulin Community before six o'clock. These are the three rules that Zhou Shun has made for me.
I almost forgot about this.
"I...I didn't pay attention to the time..." I said a little embarrassedly.
"Come back quickly! Remember what I said to you. Don't care about anything you encounter on the road. If someone asks you for help, just pretend that he didn't see it. Don't forget it!"
After hearing what Zhou Shun said, I hung up the phone, looked back at half of the express delivery, gritted my teeth and turned the three donkeys back.
Although I felt a little distressed when the express delivery was not finished, I still understood which one is more important. Zhou Shun was really angry. If I didn’t listen to him, I might lose my job.
While driving the three donkeys, I looked at the time of my phone. In a blink of an eye, it was already 5:53. According to the distance and speed, I was sure to run out of the purple bamboo forest before 6 o'clock.
I drove the Sanluzi completely as a sports car, and her speed soared. It was only 5:57 when I reached the entrance of the community.
I dared to slow down. Not long after, I saw an old lady standing by the roadside, waving to me.
She waved to me and shouted, "Young man, stop, stop."
When I listened to her speaking, I saw three or four large cardboard boxes under her feet.
"What's wrong with the aunt?" When I was almost around her, I stepped on the brakes and asked shakingly.
The old lady smiled at me and said, "I want to move this thing to the door. I am old and can't do this physical work of bent over. I want to rub your car and put the box in your car. You don't want to go out too, a young man who doesn't have to worry about it, aren't you going out? It's a matter of the way..."
"Didn't ask..." When I said something, I suddenly thought of what Zhou Shun told me again and again.
Don’t meddle in other people’s business no matter what you encounter in the purple bamboo forest!
Even if a person is about to die, it won’t work!
I looked down at my phone and it was already fifty-eight points now. If I delayed, I would completely break the rules.
Not only did I leave the community before 6 o'clock, but I still meddled with other people's business in the community.
Thinking of this, I glanced at the old lady, gritted her teeth and twisted the accelerator cruelly. The three donkeys drove out in a flash. The old lady standing next to the road was stunned and kept waved to me to go back and help.
I just pretended that I didn't hear or see it, and I turned forward.
In front of me was the entrance of the community. Uncle Jiang at the entrance was still drinking tea leisurely. Perhaps when he heard the voice of Sandouzi, he stood up and helped me lift the roadblock blocking the middle of the road. Sandouzi rushed out of the community directly.
I stepped on the brake and raised my hand to look at my phone. At 5:59, there was only one minute left before 6:00.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I got out of the car with a smile, took out the cigarette from my pocket and handed it to Mr. Jiang at the door.
Mr. Jiang was not polite, so he took it and sucked it. While sucking, he said to me: "Young man is good, and he knows he will come out before six o'clock."
I felt a little strange by Mr. Jiang. I lit a cigarette and put it in my mouth and asked carefully: "Uncle, why do you have to come out of the community before 6 o'clock? What will happen if you don't come out?"
"What will happen if you don't come out?" Uncle Jiang laughed angry at me, pointed at the road in the community and said to me: "Look at that place."
I looked along the place where Mr. Jiang pointed, and found nothing unusual. Although it was a bit old, it was completely an ordinary community road.
But soon I stared at the place just now. It was clearly a community road, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a wall?
I can't figure it out, it's impossible!
I looked at Mr. Jiang and hoped that he would give me a reasonable answer, but he actually smiled at me, then waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly, you must come out at six in the future!"
I said goodbye to the old man and went back. It was a little dark on the road. I turned on the three donkeys' lamp and thought about what Mr. Jiang said while thinking about how this wall suddenly appeared.
I thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the result came out. In the end, I could only use faith, but if I don't believe, I wouldn't have to comfort myself. It's just that I'm just coming out before six o'clock every day. It's no big deal.
When we were about to arrive in the store, we could see Zhou Shun and Qin Dayou squatting at the door smoking. They were anxious and watching the time while smoking. Seeing me coming back with three donkeys, they stood up and walked towards me.
"When did you come out of the purple bamboo forest?" Zhou Shun grabbed me and asked anxiously.
I scratched my head a little embarrassedly and said, "Five:59, Beijing time is here!"
When Zhou Shun heard that the time was not over six o'clock, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When he handed me a cigarette, he looked at me with a reproach and said, "What I said is a breeze, right? If I don't call you, you are not going to come out, right?"
"I was a little anxious on the first day of work, and I forgot to look at the time." I said awkwardly.
Zhou Shun glared at me and said, "No matter how anxious I am in the future, I must come out of the Purple Bamboo Forest before six o'clock!"
"Oh, by the way. Did you encounter anything when you meet in the purple bamboo forest?" Zhou Shun seemed to have thought of something and asked me.
I nodded and answered honestly: "I met you. When I came back, an old lady asked me to help carry things."
"Then have you helped?" Zhou Shun suddenly became anxious and turned around and stared at me.
I shook my head and said, "Didn't I always think about Brother Zhou's words in my heart? I didn't help. I just recharged the accelerator and ran away."
"That's good, that's good." Zhou Shun nodded constantly.
Zhou Shun once again told me that he would not help me no matter what he encountered in the future. Even if he died in a car accident, he would not help me if he was called 120!
This requirement is a bit strange, but when I thought that my work finally stabilized, I didn't say anything, nodded and said I knew.
Finally, Zhou Shun asked about the business today. I took out the express delivery order and handed it to Zhou Shun. Zhou Shun counted it carefully and said, "Yes, I gave it more than fifty on the first day, so I continued to work hard."
Then Zhou Shun found a form and marked me how many pieces and how much they gave me later.
"By the way, Brother Zhou. I met an old man today to send something." I suddenly thought of the things that Uncle Chen sent, so I quickly took out the fifteen yuan from the bag and handed it to Brother Zhou.
Because the recipient's name was written by Chen, I called him Uncle Chen.
But when I took out the money, I was stunned. The banknote in my hand suddenly fell to the ground, and I couldn't help but shivering.#######
