Chapter 377: Journey's End
The two lights became clearer and clearer. It seemed that they were coming towards them. Zi Yang vaguely heard the sound of the car engine.
After a while, two lights arrived in front of them. It turned out that this was a black sedan.
The car drove to the two of them and stopped, and one of them poked his head out of the cab: "Get into the car."
"Call me?" Lao Wang turned his head and looked.
He asked this question really unnecessary, and it was covered in darkness around him. There was indeed no one else except him and Zi Yang.
"Yeah, get in the car quickly." The driver urged.
Zi Yang and Lao Wang were confused and sat into the car. As soon as the driver recharged the accelerator, the car drove the two into the darkness.
"Brother, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? You don't ask me for my name?" Lao Wang said hesitantly in the back seat.
"Who do you recognize?" The driver turned his head and looked at him: "Someone asked me to pick up people, so I will pick them up. I don't care who you are, the time and place are all right. The place is very desolate around this place, and no one will stay here without any trouble - you are not wandering around here, aren't you?"
Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at each other: "Who asked you to pick me up?"
"I don't know, someone called me and told me the time and place, and I came."
"Why are you so casual?" Old Wang scratched his head in confusion.
The driver stopped talking, Lao Wang looked at Zi Yang and asked softly: "Did Chekov arrange it?"
Zi Yang sat on the passenger seat, stared at the driver with his head turned around and exclaimed suddenly: "Hey, why are you?"
This person was the driver who took them across the border before.
Zi Yang suddenly remembered what this place was - this is where they and Su Rui entered Mongolia before.
The driver glanced at Zi Yang: "Do you know me?"
"You forgot that you brought us here a few days ago!"
The driver shook his head, "I forgot that if you do our job, you can't have a good memory. It's the most basic professional ethics that you can't remember the appearance of the customers."
"Oh, are you smuggling people still professional ethics?"
"Of course, the more you know, the more dangerous it is. It is safest to know nothing." The driver drove the car with all his attention.
After hearing what he said, Zi Yang turned his head thoughtfully and looked at the dark night outside.
"Brother, can you turn off the lights? Are you not afraid to take us into the ditch?" Lao Wang couldn't help but ask worriedly when he saw the driver turn off the headlights.
"Well, no problem. I've run this road thousands of times, and I can open it even with my eyes closed."
Under the hazy moonlight, a gray shadow drove silently on the vast and boundless wilderness.
After turning on the darkness for several hours, the driver turned on the lights, and Zi Yang noticed that they had already started a paved road.
"I'm in China." The driver said softly.
A few simple words made Zi Yang feel sad and tears almost burst out.
Arrived home.
After driving for a few hours, they came to a bustling town. Seeing the bright lights outside, Lao Wang couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to ride on China!"
The driver parked the car on the side of the road, took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Zi Yang, and said without looking at him, "It's here, you guys go."
"Don't you have to pay for the car?" Although there was no money in your pocket, Lao Wang still asked politely.
"Someone will pay, you don't have to worry about it."
"Thank you, Lao Tie, thank you for your hard work along the way." Lao Wang said sincerely gratefully.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do." The driver said with a expressionless face.
Zi Yang took the key and got out of the car for no reason. The car restarted and drove away quickly. After a while, it disappeared without a trace on the distant street.
Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at each other.
"What did he give you?"
"I don't know, it seems to be the key to the station storage box."
Zi Yang looked at the number on the key: "302".
"Go in and take a look!" Lao Wang wrapped his clothes and stuffed his head into his neck. The two of them walked towards the station in front.
It was already midnight and the streets were very cold.
The outside of the station was empty and there was no pedestrian on the street. The lights of the convenience store inside the station were still on, and the waiter was lying on the counter and napping.
The tea eggs are stewed in the rice cooker, and there is a strong fragrance.
Lao Wang swallowed.
"Are you rich? If you are hungry, buy some food."
Lao Wang stretched out his hand to Zi Yang with an expectant look on his face.
Zi Yang turned the bottle over and showed it to him. He had already pinched every sewing of the clothes inside and outside. Not to mention the eavesdropping device or tracker, it was clean and not even a note!
"Let's go and look for that locker." The two of them walked through the station hall. There were no trains at this point, and there were only a few scattered travelers in the hall. It seemed that they were passengers preparing to catch the early bus.
Zi Yang saw a row of storage lockers in the corner, looked at Lao Wang, and the two of them walked slowly over. After walking around in front of the storage box as if nothing had happened, Zi Yang saw the box with 302 written in the corner of his eyes.
Zi Yang turned around, leaned her back against the storage box, and looked at the passengers in the hall casually.
A young man in his twenties and thirties was playing with his cell phone with his headphones attentively. A few meters away from him, an aunt in her forties lay on her suitcase and napping.
Behind the rows of seats opposite the two, an elderly uncle was sleeping on a bench, with a black bag pillowing under his head.
An aunt sat next to him, staring at a few cardboard boxes tied together under his feet without any sense.
After observing for more than ten seconds, Zi Yang found no abnormalities, and no one noticed them.
Zi Yang and Lao Wang looked at each other, took out the key from their pocket, and carefully inserted it into the keyhole.
With a "click", the box opened.
Zi Yang took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, and a black bag was placed in the storage box.
Lao Wang reached out and took out his bag, pinched it with his hand, and it was light and thin, and there seemed to be nothing inside. Lao Wang looked disappointed.
Zi Yang took the bag, unzipped the zipper, and saw two cards inside - his and Lao Wang's ID cards.
Before they went to Mongolia, they handed over the identity certificate to Su Rui for preservation.
In addition to the two ID cards, there is also a stack of 100 yuan bills in the bag and two train tickets at 8 o'clock in the morning. The destination is S City.
Lao Wang took out the money and counted it, 800 yuan, "That's all?"
Zi Yang took out his ID card and train ticket, looked around inside and outside the bag, and there was nothing else.
Zi Yang turned around in a daze. The hall was still the same, but the young man playing with his cell phone left when he didn't know when.
"Let's go! Have a midnight snack!" Lao Wang put the money in his pocket without hesitation, turned around and wanted to go to the convenience store, and Zi Yang grabbed him.
"Don't you find it strange? Who puts this money and ticket here?"
"Who else besides Su Rui? Could it be Chekov and the others? Why are you worried about so much?"
"If it was arranged by Su Rui, why didn't she come to meet us? There was no message? We are back, where are Xiao Hei and the others?" Zi Yang said to Lao Wang.
Lao Wang turned around and looked at Zi Yang and said seriously: "Su Rui didn't see you, of course she had her reason. Since we can come back, the others will naturally be safe. The Su family is so powerful that everyone else must have made arrangements. If it weren't done, Chekov would have killed us long ago and would have used escorts all the way?
You should also see this along the way that they have done a lot of confidentiality and don’t want us to know anything. It’s clear that they want us to be out of the matter.”
Seeing that Zi Yang was still in absent-minded, Old Wang sighed and said, "Old Li, to be honest, it is purely a fate to be able to come back alive this time! Think about it, how many times have we visited the gate of King Yan in the past six months? There will be no such good things, and we will be lucky enough to escape every time.
I can see that everyone has a great career and someone supports him wherever he goes. We are just two ordinary people who have no foundation. Our parents are both in the countryside. Don’t get involved in other people’s affairs all day long, so we can’t afford to pay.
If someone does this, it is clearly a clear line with us. Let’s see, we will go one side in the future!”
Zi Yang stared at the empty bag in his hand blankly, "That's it?"
Lao Wang patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's over, what else do you want? The gongs and drums are loud and the firecrackers are ringing, and the masses are urging to see you off?
Don’t think too much! Let’s go and have two buckets of instant noodles to warm up your stomach. I’ll make you a few ham sausages, add two eggs, and eat to eat! Take a nap after eating, take the train in the morning, and return to our world. The adventure is over!"
Zi Yang looked at Lao Wang blankly, and suddenly felt sad.
