When I woke up, I was beaten to death by a stranger

Chapter 19 The car broke down again?

Tatiana said that a few days ago Valentin had a big fight with Mikhail and almost started fighting, but fortunately she arrived in time. It is said that both of them had a screwdriver and a hammer in their hands at the time. If you go down, something will happen.

"I told Mikhail a long time ago, young lads are full of anger, why compete with them! Yes, Valentin is not easy to get along with, but it doesn't matter if he goes to work? The salary is not much. , other helpers like this are at least double the price... Mikhail doesn't listen, he always thinks that he is a little boy, and his dignity is humiliated, so he must be tough with him. God, how old is he, how old is he ? Valentin used to practice boxing, it's really going to be hot, and it's his turn to punch and talk there?"

I don't understand why they hired Valentin when the relationship was so bad?Tatyana coughed unnaturally, smiled at me, and answered very vaguely: "You are his friend, how can you not know?"

I didn't intend to get entangled in this, so I quickly asked: "Then do you know where he went?"

Tatiana shrugged her shoulders: "He said he was going home—no, not Moscow, he's not from Moscow, don't you know? He's from Yaroslavl, he's supposed to be going to his mother's place." gone."

Asking Tatiana again did not know where his family lived, so I thanked her and left.In the days that followed, I asked Andre and everyone else, and everyone only knew that Valentin had a home in Yaroslavl, and occasionally went home for vacation on weekends, and nothing else was known.I also tried calling him, but the phone was turned off for several days. I think this number is probably just his work number, and I don't want to be disturbed by irrelevant calls at this time.

I have no choice but to continue the class and wait until he is willing to show up and be disturbed.I don’t need to say more about the heartburn of waiting. In short, during that period of time, my Russian has improved a lot, and I can understand it by about five or six points during the literature class; after class, I still go to Mikhail’s car repair A trip to the shop, just stop at the corner to take a look from a distance, and then turn around to go home with one foot of the accelerator. The time you stay is not waiting, or even looking forward to it.

I have been paying attention to Andre since I found him in the tag last time. I secretly hoped that he could return to the level. However, there has been no news for a long time. I can only comfort myself because he has not boarded to see it. That's all.I go to his homepage every day to see if I can dig out some other information, he looks like a stalker, but Valentin only posted five photos in total, there is really no reason for it, and he has not set it as a private user It is already a blessing.

One day at noon, I had just finished my morning class and was about to go to the canteen of the Department of Economics for lunch. As soon as I sat down with a plate, I took out my phone and looked at it and cursed——Valentin shut me down.I was in no mood for dinner now, so I hurriedly clicked on his homepage, and sure enough, he posted a new photo, which was still an inexplicable street photo, but what made people ecstatic was that this time he even added a location.I opened the map, and it turned out that it was in Yaroslavl. I went around the satellite and found that there was a car repair shop within a few steps. I was almost sure that this was his new work place.

I stood up abruptly, stuffed my lunch into the trash can, went straight to the parking lot, and drove all the way, only to come back to my senses when I got out of the city—I didn’t check the route, I didn’t know the accommodation, and I didn’t think about the reason, so I was so anxious Go, what does it look like?

It was a rare sunny day, the sun covered the entire highway, making people blinded, I think Valentin probably liked the sunshine today, so much that he wanted to take a picture, and he liked it so much that he wanted to post it on social media, asking everyone to do the same. have a look.I don't know why I really want to see him before the sun goes down.

It has been five hours since I arrived in Yaroslavl. I went to the car repair shop I guessed before, but when I knocked on the door, cold water poured down my head:

"Valentin? We don't have Valentin here. We only sell auto supplies here, and we don't hire auto mechanics."

I felt cold for a moment, and after thanking him stammeringly, I turned around and saw the sunset glow dissipate little by little, and the evening wind blew, and my body became cold. Only then did I realize that everything was absurd, because a sudden flash of inspiration at noon, I just thought that he would be here, as sure as if the encounter was inevitable, it was fate.At the moment it seems like a joke.

I sat in the car with a wry smile, lit a cigarette and stared in a daze, the clerk of that store was off work, and before leaving, he told me that it would rain tonight and be careful of slippery roads.I watched them slowly disappear around the corner. Thinking that there would be classes tomorrow morning, I simply drove back for another five hours, but when I started the car, I found that it was out of gas.I followed the navigation and drove for a few minutes to the nearest gas station. Suddenly there was thunder in the sky. The weather is really weird. It was still sunset one minute before, and it was going to rain in the next minute. I just hope that it will not rain too much when driving late. big.

After refueling, I wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes at the nearby convenience store. Just as I got out of the car, I noticed a small car repair shop next to the convenience store. A person came out of the car and was tinkering with the shutter door. Glancing over, I couldn't look back; the man was tall and tall, standing crookedly, with a familiar coat.I stared at him as if in a daze, when a flash of lightning illuminated his face—that was the only reason I came all this way.

My mind is confused, unbelievable; I feel that God is playing a joke on me, from ecstasy to despair, despair to ecstasy, as if in a dream, he seems to be sent to my eyes on purpose——Another thunder, Valentin I looked up; I hurriedly turned to hide, realizing that this kind of meeting was not appropriate, after all, driving five hours to chase here was too creepy to think about.I just wanted to see him.

But I hid too quickly, stepped on the ice and slipped, sat down on the ground and groaned in pain.At the same time, it began to rain in the sky, and a small puddle of water soon accumulated on the ground, reflecting the green light of the nearby convenience store sign.The rainwater slipped into the collar. The fall just now must have hurt my ankle. I could hardly stand up, but I still turned my face away, praying in my heart that he must not let him see me like this.

However, as soon as I turned my eyes, the water stains reflecting the lights of the convenience store had already been crushed by one foot; I was soaked and sat on the ground with my teeth grinning. He looked down at me, unable to see his expression clearly:

"The car broke down again?"

I grinned miserably: "No, no. The car is not broken."

"People are broken."
