Chapter 1

Yawning, slapping on the alarm clock and smashing the ringing bell back, Zhao Mai has already developed his agility and quick reaction. He is also very sensitive to time and will never let the alarm clock ring. It's 2:30 in the morning. He's been writing a book. He doesn't sleep at all. Next door lived a pair of elderly people who were sleeping, and their temper was still very hot. If the alarm clock does go off, it will have to complain the next day.

The alarm clock is the last resort, in case he forgets the appointment. In fact, what's really powerful is his own biological species. What he feels is what he feels, and he never misses. He never misses what he blindfolded for a few seconds. After washing his face with cold water and pouring a mouthful of iced drink, Zhao Mai feels that he has come back from the fantasy world of writing a book. He takes a rest during the day, codes in the evening, and is a special bus driver at night. The alarm clock is set to prevent him from missing his car appointment. After all, a bad comment may make him less tip.

His original name is Zhao Yimai, which means a single biography. Later, family planning was released, and his parents gave him a pair of brothers and sisters, so he was renamed Zhao Mai. Originally, there were not so many people in the family with three bedrooms and one living room, so he rented a house outside to live by himself. Because he couldn't get used to the manager's fat face, Zhao Mai completed the process of graduation, employment and unemployment in less than a year. He didn't want to ask his parents for help, so he hid his job and tried to support himself.

He has a car. As for the model or whether there will be a sponsor after reading this book, after all, no one can tell what will be popular and how to implant advertisements. There's nothing strange about this car. It's a four wheel sedan that he got his driver's license when he was a junior. His father saved money from the "installation expenses for his daughter and second son". It's a late "adult gift". My parents told Zhao Mai at that time that because of my younger brother and sister, my care for him was much less unconsciously. However, Zhao Mai is an adult. According to the foreign saying, he is able to stand on his own. Excessive care will affect his life. Watching foreign TV dramas, parents give their children a car, and they are no exception. So the car became Zhao Mai's treasure.

This car will last forever at the end of this book, longer than the Lord of the rings in the fantasy masterpiece Lord of the rings. For the sake of the title sword, magic and taxi, is there really no sponsor?

If not, the name of the car is "the · Che". All the letters should be capitalized to indicate that it is a proper noun, which is more unique. In case the sponsor decides to support it, the author can also use the function of full-text search replacement, which is convenient, Mm-hmm.

Zhao Mai had no other skills, so he was a poor writer. Although it's not going to be a big hit - maybe in the future - it's still going to be able to see it through and barely earn enough food. He likes sword and magic and related things, so he is generally a fantasy writer. If he was good at Chinese and knew more characters when he was in school, maybe he would write Xuanhuan or Xianxia.

Writing a book requires imagination. Coupled with the living conditions of a single dog, Zhao Mai sometimes talks to himself in his mind, which is equivalent to writing while speaking. If it's in crosstalk, it's called stand up crosstalk; if it's in movies, it's called voice over or narration; if it's in the second dimension, it's the bubble dialog box with words on the top of the characters' heads. From writing, this is called Tucao expressing psychological activities, full character image, increasing readers' sense of substitution and make complaints about master's characters.

Let's get back to business. Because the writing of books is not complete, and only enough food and clothing to live, if you want to improve your life, you need to drive a special car to earn some pocket money. He especially likes the business from early morning to early morning. He can code in the first half of the night, and drive in the second. At this time, there are fewer cars, fewer people and less exhaust gas. Most of them are people who catch trains and planes, and they are guaranteed to go and come back. If you can say a few auspicious words, be a life tutor, and fill them with half salty chicken soup, you may earn extra tips if you are in a good mood. Another important reason is that after finishing work in the morning, you can buy a delicious breakfast, warm and fragrant millet porridge and oily steamed buns, which can greatly improve your sleep quality.

Today's pick-up - why this sentence is so strange - is an old man, Mediterranean hairstyle, a long white hair surrounded by the shape of the map of the old age spots. Although the body thin, knuckles prominent, but the spirit is very good, bright eyes, there is no midnight car fatigue.

"It's the first time I've ever seen an old man who's catching a midnight flight. How old are you

"Four hundred and twenty-eight years old." The old man's voice is full of magnetism, full of Zhongqi. If you go to shangengen square to sing red songs, you will be able to outdo the others.

"You can't count 60 days as one year according to the Taoist algorithm, can you?" Zhao Mai's flattering chicken soup was quickly delivered: "you are in a good state of mind. If you can make fun of young people like me, you are really at an age where you can do whatever you want."

"You know the allusion. It's not easy. What books do you usually read? "

It's good to have a topic. As long as the conversation is open, Zhao Mai can keep up with any subject. "Read all kinds of books, those who have knowledge, knowledge, mind and happiness. There are too many books in the world. If you run across one, you can read it, and you can pick it up. However, the ability to distinguish between good and bad is still necessary, just like driving to see the passengers. I don't answer those who are in a bad light, in a trance, and full of alcohol. It's not enough money. I'd like to take good care of an old man like you. If you don't say anything else, I can drive steadily. Even people who are carsick can't feel it. ""That's true." The old man nodded, looked at Zhao Mai up and down, and twisted the corner of his mouth with his thumb, just like a gourmet saw a delicate dish. "Young man, how much do you earn by driving in a month?"

"I haven't really counted it. Driving a special car is not my main business. Not afraid of your jokes, I write books on the Internet and live on fans. If it's just about making money, it's not as good as a taxi driver. And I hate traffic jams. That's a waste of my life, isn't it? So how much money can I make if I only take the appointment list at this time? "

"It's good for young people to write books. What kind of books do you write? "

This old man is more talkative than Zhao Mai imagined. He knows what fantasy is. If we talk about elves, dwarfs and dragons, it's not ambiguous. If he is 50 years younger, Zhao Mai doesn't feel strange at all. But with his white hair, where is the legendary generation gap?

"Don't look at me so strangely in the mirror. It's impolite. I'm a translator. I've spent most of my life translating foreign literature, so I've seen a lot more than you. My son is working in a publishing house now and then, he will come back to work overtime with some books that he wants to get batch number, and I will help him to read them, so I know more. We are destined to meet each other. I see your bones... "

Before the words of bone surprise were finished, Zhao Mai's phone rang. The ring was a very exciting March, which felt like a big military parade. Both otaku and taxi master have obsessive-compulsive disorder of "never see the power indicator turn red", so as long as they are not talking, the phone will always be charged.

Glancing at it, I found that it was my sister who called, and a big picture of her head swayed with the bell. Zhao Mai used to be able to call Zhao Yimai, which shows how casual his parents' names are. After this tradition continues, Zhao Mai's younger brother is called Zhao Xiaofeng, and Zhao Mai's younger sister is called Zhao xiaoluan - they are all birds anyway.

It's more than four o'clock in the morning. It's supposed to be when the lazy sister is sleeping. How could she call? Zhao Mai said to the old man in the car, "I'm sorry. I have to answer this call. There may be something urgent. In order to drive safely, I will use hands-free, please don't speak. My family doesn't know about my special car in the middle of the night. Please keep it a secret for me. "

The old man blinked, made a zipper on his mouth, and then fell asleep on the back of his seat.

My sister's voice is very low. She seems to be hiding and calling secretly. It's probably the toilet. It's not surprising after connecting. "Brother, keep your voice down. I'll call you from the bathroom. Dad is sick, chronic renal failure, has reached the point of the need for kidney replacement, now is doing dialysis

A bolt from the blue exploded in Zhao Mai's head. His hand shook and his car shook. He quickly regained his mind, took a few deep breaths, and quickly asked, "how do you know, are you sure?"

"Yesterday, I found that my mother's eyes were red and she seemed to cry. I didn't ask her at that time. Later, my younger brother happened to see my mother crying secretly while looking at some documents. We thought that my father had someone else outside, so when my mother went to buy vegetables, he opened the drawer and peeped. Only then did we know that it was my father's diagnosis and case. Brother, what should I do? Check the Internet, the disease is very painful, need to go to the hospital regularly dialysis, only kidney can cure

Chronic renal failure in the late stage is commonly known as uremia, the safest treatment is to change the kidney. But can change the kidney which has so many, can only slowly line up in the hospital. Maintenance therapy is dialysis, using machines instead of kidneys to remove toxins accumulated in the blood, which is very painful and expensive.

If you have a lot of money, you may be able to think of other ways to help your father relieve his illness as soon as possible. But I don't have a serious job. My younger brother and sister are in junior high school. When they are still spending money, the family can't afford such a sum of money.

"Little sister, I know. I'll call home all the money I have, and then I'll think about something. You and your brother look after your parents at home. Don't let them worry. Two people study hard, spend less, don't let adults worry, let them keep a better mood. Anyway, Dad's treatment can't stop, you know? "

The younger sister sobbed in a low voice and agreed in a low voice.

"There is my elder brother at home. You two should do your own thing well first, that is, study. Now listen to me, turn off the phone, go to bed, get up in the morning and be a good filial child. If they both are, do you understand? "

"I see, brother. Take care of yourself."

Then the phone hung up.

The carriage becomes silent for a moment, and everyone will fall into depression when they encounter this kind of thing.

"Young man, are you all right? There is no difficulty in the world. Difficulties can be overcome slowly. "

"I know." Zhao Mai said: "there is no problem at home for a while, but Dad suffered a big crime this time. Alas, my mother always wants to bear the burden of herself. She must be the most miserable. "

"The disease can be cured, so it's not the fall of the sky." The old man said to him in a comforting tone, "an old friend of mine said that, but any trouble that can be solved with money is not trouble.""But no money is the biggest trouble?" Zhao Mai reluctantly laughed and said: "if I have a million and eight hundred thousand now, how can I find a relationship and let my father have an operation earlier, so as to avoid the fragmentary pain. Better treatment, better convalescent conditions, which one does not need to spend money? But you're right. It's not hopeless. It's a treatable disease after all. Old man, if you have anything to earn money from, please take care of it. "

"If it's fate, it's no problem." When the old man spoke, the light green light in his eyes flashed away. Mr. driver has calmed down, focused on the front, did not notice this scene.
