Life and Death (5)

The taxi turned into a deserted section of the road. Su Xiaomo asked sarcastically, "Driver, isn't this the Yu City cemetery? Why have you taken us here?"

"Well, it's a shortcut. It'll save me some gas…" The driver chuckled. Su Xiaomo pursed her lips, but at the thought that the man was only trying to make a living, she didn't comment on his choice of route.

The car stopped all of a sudden and the driver sounded embarrassed. "I think the car has broken down. Let me have a look."

He fiddled about for a couple of minutes, then stuck his head in through the window. He looked sorry when he said, "I think the car has really broken down… We're at a crossing now and I shouldn't park here. Can you two give me a hand and push it to the side… Ahem, I won't charge you for the ride!"

An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo were speechless.

As two kindhearted adolescent girls, they got out of the car and were going to help the driver out.
