" ride the donkey backwards " in life
Winter has already come, but the rain of Xi's patter becomes unprincipled, skies of the haze can be covered with the fog of rain for a moment, dim. Xingcheng looks like one in nameless fish with a hock and line of seashore person, get drunk in the rain.

Have time to come to the ancient city to stroll with great difficulty, but happen to meet on this overcast and dark day. A of original leisurely and carefree moods have been overturned by this rain when not meeting with. Then, determine to return to school.

Wonder when it is, the pedestrian in the street was like evaporation unexpectedly, there is not much left; The pedlar in the roadside is tidying up stands without end in a hurry, cover the goods tightly, but has not found time to manage oneself. My both hands hide the head, stand up in the rain middle-distance race. Wait for me to go to the latest public transit website, has already been drenched on one's body more than halfly.

"Damn, why does not the bus come? " I begin, complain about the city stand up, blame it to be bus too little, blame how go to, come by such far broken place from house oneself even more.

The rain is heavier and heavier, the wind follows to initiate and come furiously too, the rain penetrates obliquly from it, willow of both sides of the highway is bare. The lengthy branch dances wildly with the wind, the pedlar in the roadside disappears without a trace too. I hide under the platform, shiver with cold.

A red shabby taxi has stopped by the platform, the driver shakes and gets off the window, wave at me, tell me to get on the bus.

I have asked one sentence habitually, " the uncle, how much is it until the Liao worker is big? "

"It is a student to look at you, give 30 yuan! " The driver sees me saying craftily.

"It is that the student still ask to see me I want 30, too black, this does not rip off purely! " I think.

"The uncle thank you, I wait for the public transit, will come soon. " In order to save money, I grit one's teeth, it does not matter either a moment later to freeze more.

"Those 20 are good, come up quickly! Fast quickly! Still in a hurry! " The driver is like being impatient.

"No, uncle, I take the bus. " I have bitten the lip, the ruthless lower heart will come.

"Whiz ----- "Every one,it fly to taxi it go out,spatter I one suit of muddy water.

"Who! " I am too angry to control oneself. How it is in today, meet what is suitable for anything. If people fall to come mouldly, fart and have the heel had one's foot squashed.

"Creakily -- ",The sharp brake sound for a moment, a manpower tricycle has been stopped by me.

The northern city all call manpower tricycle "  Ride the donkey backwards "  ,The reason is that the carter rides a bike and drives in the front. The name is very unpleasant, ponder detailedly that there is meaning which scolds people to stand up. But the people all over the city can all read smoothly in this way, just nobody feels refined, as if the mobile telephone shouts and spoils and knows a cellular telephone is the same.

"The baby, take the car? " The detailed language of car owner's harmony is said to me.

Carter's about 50 years old of look, grey at the temples, the skin is dark, made many pleats on the face. It may be because of the cause of riding the bike, though wear raincoats, the rainwater is hit so that his whole face is.

"Oh, no, I take the bus. " I do not ever like taking the tricycle, it is too jolt to dislike it and leave up very much.

"You should go to that street in the north to take transit buses, has built in front of this road, the bus had changed its course temporarily. " The carter is explaining patiently.

No wonder been waiting for less than trucks for such a long time! That street that the carter points is still very far from here, and it is raining heavily, take the tricycle.

"Let me take your car. Until how much the Liao worker is big? "

"6, rainy day, the way is not convenient for walking. " The carter is happy and auspicious.

"But I have change of 5 yuan left on one's body. " Though the fare that he wants has been already very cheap, I attempt to force down as much as possible.

"Then 5. " The carter has promised, I feel pleased but not show it. "Let's get on the bus quickly, it is cold outside. "

I creep into the car fast. Though is a tricycle, feel that much more comfortable than the outside.

Because head-wind relation, car more very slowly competent, feel until impression jolt. Xingcheng because of backer, fashionlifehighway rise and fall, tricycle can only slowly advance in the higher authority. It rains more heavily than before through the car window. Beans heavy raindrop penetrate, to ground, spatter blow countless light water droplet again ruthlessly. Unless at it play rain drops at ceiling of tricycle and side wall, it send out" crash crash " Sound,as destiny symphony impassioned.

The car has been stopped suddenly, has not waited for me to come to yet, has moved forward slowly.

"What's the matter? " I have asked one sentence sunddenly.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, this slope trembles, the wind is heavy, it would be better if can't ride and wait for me to push away in the past. " The carter's answer seemed very straining, the whole sentence was jumped out from the mouth by a word and a word.

"Oh. " I have only jumped in the mouth out a word.

Soon, the car to stand up, may have crossed that abrupt slope fast.

"creakily - " ,Sharp brake let I from sober to come over in being dim, I give a start, busy with asking: "What happened to? "

"The baby, it's here. "

"Oh. " I jump off the car, just find when rain has wondered to stop, only leave the wind and whizz alone.

"Give! " I pass him 5 yuan, hope to go pleasing to the eye, find his trousers already drenched, water is being managed and flowed out down along the trousers.

"Thanks. " He says, I have touched his hands while meeting the money, cool sharply with a smile.

When he returns to back, just two big fellows take his tricycle at the gate of school. He is smiling, rides the tricycle. Tricycle advance slowly at highway, like carry house vagrant snail, do the farther, turn in the distant place into a small black point, then disappear.

Highway willow branch wind dance of both sides, interlock one pieces of network, network live blast, the net does not live to live even more.

I stand at the gate of school, the place to leave towards him, stand still for a long while, seem to see the people of ground floor all over the world are honest, but mostly the hardships.

Hands are carried in the pocket of the clothes, hold a surplus yuan tightly, I fell too ashamed to show one's face.Mobile POS|Contactless POS|Fingerprint POS|Credit Card Terminal|Point of Sale
