Chapter 99 99. Brothers who have experienced life and death
It was almost evening when we left the special team's office.
Jinjiu got into the car directly. Zhao Wu knew that the eldest lady was going home tonight, so he didn't ask her where she was going and drove directly to Jin's house.
"Miss, here we are."
Jin Jiu got out of the car and was about to take a step, but he saw the black air lingering above the Jin family and could not help but frowning.
"Zhao Wu." Jin Jiu called out to Zhao Wu who was about to leave.
"Miss, what do you want?" Zhao Wu stopped the car immediately and asked.
"Take this and give it to your destined one. Go home by the usual route, and don't take shortcuts."
"Ah?" Zhao Wu was confused.
He looked at the yellow talisman in his hand and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
He wanted to ask something, but found that Jinjiu had already walked far away, so he could only suppress his doubts and uneasiness and drive slowly home.
Along the way, Jinjiu's words kept appearing in his mind, so that his thoughts were a little hazy.
Fortunately, he is an experienced driver after all, and he knew that he was not in a suitable condition to drive, so he parked his car in the nearest parking lot and prepared to take a taxi home.
"Brother, where are you going?" the taxi driver asked enthusiastically.
"Go to xx community, just stop at the community intersection."
"okay!"
Seeing the car running smoothly, Zhao Wu felt relieved.
It takes about fifteen minutes to drive home from this location, which is neither long nor short. But as luck would have it, when the navigation was about to drive to a certain street, a voice broadcast suddenly reminded: "The road ahead is congested, it is recommended to change the route..."
"Oh, this is the problem during rush hour after get off work. Traffic jams are too easy." The driver said to himself.
Zhao Wu didn't take it seriously at first until he realized that the route was wrong.
Although this road can also lead to his home, it is not the way he usually goes home!
"Master, please take the previous road." Zhao Wu immediately reminded.
The driver frowned slightly: "Brother, there is a traffic jam over there. It may take half an hour to drive out. Although this way is a detour, it will take at most 20 minutes to get there."
Zhao Wu is a local and is also a driver, so he naturally understands that what he said is true.
But he can't change route!
This is what the eldest lady said!
If someone else said this, they would definitely not bother to pay attention, but the eldest lady is not an ordinary person!
Seeing that the driver was about to get on the bridge, Zhao Wu immediately shouted, "Stop the car, turn around, and take the original route."
The driver was a little unhappy.
He was about to speak, but after hearing Zhao Wu's next words, his attitude changed.
"I'll pay extra, two hundred extra, and you'll drive along the route I say."
"Row!"
As long as the customer pays, he can drive however he wants. Not to mention following his route, even giving the car to him is no problem!
The driver obediently turned the car around, returned, and then took the route where the traffic jam occurred.
"Brother, why do you have to go this way? Aren't you in a hurry to go home?" The driver looked at the endless sea of cars in front of him, and his eyes went dark. But thinking of the extra two hundred yuan, he endured it.
He usually only earns six or seven hundred a day, and that's when he's lucky. This one order directly took up one-third of his daily income, so it didn't matter if he waited a little longer.
But he is still curious!
"Nothing." Zhao Wu didn't plan to say anything more.
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, the driver stopped asking and took out his mobile phone to start browsing the news. As he was browsing, his hand suddenly shook and he lost his grip on the phone, which fell directly onto the car. The noise caught Zhao Wu's attention.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Wu frowned slightly.
If this situation had occurred before, he might have simply thought that the driver did not hold the phone firmly, but because of what the eldest lady said, he is now very alert to any disturbance.
"I, no, brother, look at this." Because the road was so congested and the driver was really scared just now, he didn't care about anything else and just picked up the phone and handed it behind him.
Zhao Wu was puzzled, but he still took it and took a look, and ended up seeing the news displayed directly on the phone screen.
The content of the news can be summarized in one sentence: Seven minutes ago, the bridge deck on the road they were originally planning to travel on collapsed, and all the vehicles and pedestrians on the bridge fell into the river.
Zhao Wu's hands couldn't help but tremble after reading this news, and his unfortunate phone fell to the ground again.
"Sorry, sorry." Zhao Wu apologized quickly, then picked up the phone and returned it to the driver.
The driver waved his hand: "It's okay, this phone is very durable... Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't insisted on not taking that road, I guess there would be some of us in the river."
The driver was open-minded. After the fear just passed, all he felt was relief and surprise at surviving the disaster.
At this moment, he also forgot Zhao Wu's previous cold attitude and started talking on his own.
"We are so lucky. They say that after misfortune comes fortune. Do you think I will win if I buy a lottery ticket?"
"I don't know how long this road will be blocked..."
"By the way, brother, why didn't you want to go that way just now? Is it some sixth sense?"
The driver is a chatterbox, and now that he has opened his mouth, he can talk excitedly by himself.
Seeing that Zhao Wu had been silent, he had given up hope, but unexpectedly, Zhao Wu actually spoke.
"It's not some sixth sense. A master told me that I must go this way today." Zhao Wu omitted many details and told the situation half-truthfully.
"Master?" Hearing the word "master", the driver became even more excited. "Then this is a real master! Where is this master from? I'll go and do some calculations tomorrow when I'm free."
"I couldn't find it, so I just happened to see it on the road." Zhao Wu made up an excuse to get away with it.
The driver didn't doubt it and sighed regretfully when he heard him say that. After all, it was impossible to find such a fortune teller walking on the street.
And from what we can see now, the other party does have real skills, so he certainly won't meet people easily, nor will he easily tell fortunes for others.
"Okay, I was originally planning to ask this master to calculate for me." As he spoke, the car in front moved forward a little, and the driver followed, but he only moved a small step before continuing to get stuck in traffic.
If it were before, with such a long traffic jam, the driver would definitely be full of complaints even if there was 200 yuan left.
But now he considered himself and his friends to be brothers who had 'experienced life and death' together. Not only did he not complain, but he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Zhao Wu.
"Brother, you don't know, I have a miserable life. My parents died when I was young, and I grew up eating at other people's houses. I finally made a name for myself, got married, and had a beautiful and lovely daughter, but the result is..."
