Chapter 304: Traffic Police Check Vehicles
Fearing something might happen, the man dropped Huang Dehan off in town and then quickly left.
There were no taxis in the small town. Huang Dehan stood on the main road carrying 40 kilograms of white powder. His anxiety and unease made him dare not linger. Ignoring his foot injury, he quickly flagged down a tricycle and asked it to take him to the county town.
People usually take buses to the county seat; no one would flag down a pedicab to go there.
The tricycle driver refused to go, so Huang Dehan said, "I'll give you a thousand yuan, will you go or not?"
The tricycle driver thought he had misheard and quickly asked, "What did you say? Give me a thousand yuan?"
"Yes, it's a thousand yuan. Are you going to pull it or not?"
A tricycle driver can only earn a couple hundred yuan a day at most. If someone offers a thousand, you'd be a fool not to take the job!
He quickly replied, "Okay! But we can only take the old route, which will be a bit slow."
Huang Dehan said, "It's alright, let's go quickly."
"Um, give me the money first," the tricycle driver said.
Huang Dehan took out his wallet from his backpack, counted out a thousand yuan, and handed it to the driver.
The tricycle driver's eyes widened when he saw the bright red banknotes. He took the money and quickly started counting it.
He counted the money over and over again, examining each bill carefully, as if afraid it was counterfeit.
Huang Dehan was in a hurry to leave, and seeing the driver's behavior, he impatiently urged, "Hurry up and go, the money is real, there's no way it's fake!"
The driver then put the money in his pocket and started the car.
Huang Dehan breathed a sigh of relief and placed the suitcase at his feet.
He touched his chin; the wound there had scabbed over, but it was swollen and painful to the touch.
The car was bumping violently. Huang Dehan hadn't slept all night and was under a lot of tension. Now that he relaxed, he felt incredibly sleepy and drifted off to sleep.
Huang Dehan didn't know how long he had slept when he was shaken awake by the tricycle driver, "Hey, wake up, wake up!"
Huang Dehan opened his blurry eyes and asked, "Have we arrived yet?"
"No," the driver replied.
Huang Dehan was annoyed. "Why did you call me before it was my turn?"
"There are traffic police checking vehicles ahead. My tricycle can't get through, and they'll impound it," the driver said.
Upon hearing that there were traffic police, Huang Dehan snapped out of his daze and immediately told the driver to turn back.
The driver immediately turned around and drove back.
Huang Dehan was extremely agitated.
what to do?
In this godforsaken place, with no taxis and so much cargo, he dared not take a bus.
Now his ankle is sprained again, and if the police find him, he won't be able to escape.
Fearing that Huang Dehan would ask him to return the money, the tricycle driver said, "Although I can't take you to the county town, I won't return the money because I didn't know there were traffic police checking vehicles."
Seeing that the driver looked honest, Huang Dehan asked, "Are you a local?"
"Yes," the driver replied.
Huang Dehan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "How about this, you take me home first, I twisted my ankle, and you help me find a doctor to take a look. I'll give you another thousand yuan, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the driver was overjoyed and readily agreed, then pulled Huang Dehan towards his home.
That day, he earned two thousand yuan without doing anything.
Upon returning home, the driver immediately found a village doctor for Huang Dehan.
After struggling to take off his shoes, Huang Dehan discovered that his ankles were red and swollen.
After examining the patient, the village doctor said, "The bone is injured; you must go to the hospital. I cannot treat you."
