This was originally a used car.

It is rarely opened.

This is my first time traveling far away.

But then something went wrong.

There was no other way, so Zhuang Zhou called the friend who had bought the car from him before for consultation.

The other party asked several questions, and Zhuang Zhou answered them one by one.

The other party gave several possibilities:

Insufficient tire pressure, fluid leakage, and lack of power steering fluid.

Or the fuse of the electric power steering system is burned out.

Or there is a problem with the line.

Or it could be due to reasons such as the front wheel toe being too tight, the clearance being too large, the steering ball head being loose, etc.

In short, it’s the same as not saying anything.

Zhuang Zhou didn't understand this either.

Finally, the other party suggested that we could no longer take the highway.

Find the nearest exit from the highway and have it checked out at a repair shop.

For safety reasons, Zhuang Zhou had to use his mobile phone for navigation, and there was a highway exit three kilometers ahead.

Drive slowly all the way.

About half an hour later, Zhuang Zhou finally drove the car off the highway.

Then I used the navigation to find an auto repair shop.

By the time we drove over, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

I waited for about half an hour for the staff to check it out.

Before giving a final opinion, a comprehensive inspection is needed.

Zhuang Zhou was so angry that he didn't even want the car anymore.

Meng Xuan was also a little unhappy because of this sudden accident.

But she knew Zhuang Zhou was feeling even worse, so she finally said to comfort him:

"How about we not go back tonight, leave the car here, stay overnight and go back tomorrow."

After hearing what Meng Xuan said, the staff immediately said:

"We'll fix it tonight and you'll be able to pick up the car tomorrow morning."

Zhuang Zhou thought about it and decided that this was the only way.

The place where they are now is a small town.

It is some distance away from both the county seat and the urban area.

Therefore, there are very few hotel accommodations.

Many of them are hotels converted from private houses.

Zhuang Zhou was very familiar with this kind of hotel.

Not only is it unhygienic, it is also very unsafe.

There are often people who get drunk and cause trouble.

For safety reasons, Zhuang Zhou searched the Internet.

Finally found the only decent hotel in town with good reviews.

So I quickly placed an order and booked two rooms.

But before Zhuang Zhou and Meng Xuan arrived at the hotel, the front desk called:

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang? There's only one room left in the hotel you booked. Are you still staying?"
