"Sorry, I borrowed it for a moment."

Gu Yuan hugged the bag in his arms tightly, with a single earphone plugged into his ear, and the other earphone hanging naturally on his chest.

The other end of the earphones was connected to the old MP3 player in his pocket. This backward product was found in the locker before departure. He tried to charge it and was surprised to find that it could still be used. Although the sound quality was not good, it still worked.

With the "sizzling" low noise, it is very suitable for passing time on the road.

Checking the train ticket in his hand, he passed through the crowded crowd and finally found his seat. It was by the window, just in time to see the scenery along the way. This was also the original intention of Gu Yuan to choose "train" to end this graduation trip.

Turn off your mobile phone, take a quick trip, and enjoy the tranquility in life.

There was a girl sitting in the aisle seat. She was pretty, with bright eyes, no makeup on her face, wearing a somewhat retro skirt, linen color, revealing a small section of her calf, her calves were full, and she had a pair of clean little feet.

Wearing white shoes and two braids with a very contemporary feel, she looks a little bit rustic.

But considering the girl's delicate face, he felt that this was completely forgivable.

The girl raised her head and glanced at Gu Yuan. A strange look flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and moved her legs. Her figure was relatively slender, so Gu Yuan squeezed in.

"Thank you." He whispered.

The other party did not respond. He looked through the vertical thread-bound book in his hand with an indifferent expression. On the cover were the four words "Mengxi Bi Tan". The paper was slightly yellowed and seemed to be old.

Gu Yuan took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed the cap and drank half of it. He placed it on the dining table in front of him and stuffed the bag into the gap under his feet.

The environment in the carriage was a bit noisy, mixed with dialects from various places. Sitting behind Gu Yuan seemed to be a middle-aged couple, quarreling over some trivial matters in life.

"You shouldn't have gotten in the car." An indifferent voice suddenly came.

Gu Yuan was slightly startled, then turned to look at the braided girl beside him.

"What?"

The other party's slender fingers flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, making Gu Yuan wonder if he had heard wrong just now.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, he frowned and said nothing. He continued to look at the scenery outside the window. The train moved slowly, making a "humming humming" sound.

He slowly closed his eyes, wanting to take a rest.

There was a "bang" sound.

Gu Yuan opened his eyes and felt a chill on his legs. Only then did he realize that the mineral water bottle on the dining table had been poured out and his pants were wet.

"Boy, I'm sorry!" The old woman sitting opposite her face was full of vicissitudes of life. The age spots on her dark cheeks were not so conspicuous. She was holding a little girl about six or seven years old in her arms, wearing a red coat.

, the cuffs were still edged with a layer of white velvet, and he was holding a broken water bottle, looking a little timid.

"Brother, I'm sorry! I accidentally kicked the table..." the little girl whispered.

Gu Yuan smiled and shook his head, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and wiped it briefly.

"It's fine."

The little girl blinked her big watery eyes and pursed her little lips together. The old woman was still saying apologies. Gu Yuan had already wiped his pants clean, took out a lollipop from the bag and handed it to him.

Little girl with braids.

"Candy please."

"Eh?" The little girl's eyes lit up and she looked at the lollipop in Gu Yuan's hand with curiosity.

"How can this be so embarrassing?" When the old woman smiled, the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together, like an old tree bark.

Gu Yuan still stuffed the lollipop into the little girl's hand and gently touched her forehead.

The little girl put the lollipop into her mouth, biting the plastic paper on it with her teeth, and then said "bah, bah, bah" a few times, with a slight expression of disgust.

Her big watery eyes were full of doubts.

Gu Yuan found it unbelievable and hurriedly said: "That's not how it is eaten." Then he stretched out his hand to take the lollipop over, tore open the packaging on it, and handed it over again.

The little girl reached out and took it again, looking at the pink candy. This time she just lightly licked it with her tongue, then narrowed her eyes happily.

"So sweet!"

The old woman narrowed her eyes, smiled and stroked her hair, her eyes full of endearment: "Thank you, brother."

"Thank you, brother!" The little girl put the lollipop into her mouth and bit it loudly.

Gu Yuan felt strange.

Are there any children who have never eaten a lollipop?

"Brother, what's in your ears?" The little girl pointed at Gu Yuan's headphones again.

"This is for playing music. Listen to it." Gu Yuan gently inserted an earphone into the little girl's ear.

"Oops!" The little girl was startled, with a look of horror on her face. She quickly shook her head and looked at the old woman uneasily, "Grandma, there is a villain talking in my head!"

Gu Yuan was a little shocked.

This little girl is really strange. She looks like she has never eaten a lollipop, and now she is scared because of an MP3 player.

I was about to explain, but the little girl had already put the headphones into her ears again.

"Hehe! It's so fun!"

Gu Yuan laughed dumbly.

This is probably the nature of children, innocent and pure.

He turned around and glanced at the girl with braided braids next to him. She had an indifferent look on her face, and he gave up his intention to talk to her.

It's just that the couple behind them turned from a bickering into a quarrel. Perhaps considering that they were on the train, they deliberately lowered their voices.

Gu Yuan didn't find it too noisy, but found it quite interesting. This was part of the trip.

The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts.

A man in a gray jacket sat next to the old man and the child. The old woman glanced at him and moved the snakeskin bag under her feet.

The other person looked to be in his forties, with silver-white temples and a weathered face. His hands on the dining table were a little rough, and he must have been doing manual labor a lot.

After a while, the old woman chatted with Gu Yuan.

"Young man, where are you from?"

"Star City." Gu Yuan was not too defensive.

"Ouch! That's quite a distance!"

Gu Yuan smiled.

"Star City? I've been to that place!" The man in the jacket next to him said with a smile, "A few years ago, I followed a friend there and ran into some trouble. My friend still died there."

Gu Yuan was a little surprised.

This was a very talkative man. He took Gu Yuan to chat about the geography and humanities of Star City, which was a bit showy. We often meet such people in life, and Gu Yuan is used to it.

The old woman would interject a few words from time to time, but the girl with braided braids next to Gu Yuan had not said a word and remained as indifferent as ever.

However, the middle-aged couple behind them started to argue louder and louder, even to the point of shouting, but no one stepped forward to persuade them to make peace.

It is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs. Gu Yuan thought about it but said nothing.

"Xiao Gu, let's go out front and smoke a cigarette!" the man in the jacket suddenly stood up and asked.

Gu Yuan waved his hand.

"I don't smoke."

"Oh...it's better if you don't smoke." The man in the jacket took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and left. Gu Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and was slightly startled.

That packaging...

It seems to be the Tongxing brand cigarettes that were discontinued more than ten years ago?

Although he did not smoke, he would often help his second uncle buy cigarettes when he was a child. His favorite brand was Tongxing. When it was discontinued, his second uncle sighed for a long time, which left a deep impression on him.

"I didn't expect to see this brand of cigarettes now." He thought to himself, not knowing how the other party preserved it.

Or is there a small workshop secretly producing it?

Gu Yuan picked up the mineral water bottle on the table. Although he spilled some before, there was still a small amount left. He tilted his neck back and drank it all.

At this moment, a roar came from behind.

"Damn! Bitch! You bitch!" It was the middle-aged couple.

The argument escalated and turned into swearing.

Gu Yuan turned his face and saw that the man's face was red and furious. He took out a machete from nowhere and struck the woman's head severely. The blade got stuck in the skull, and blood spattered and stained the woman's head.

A large area of ​​the car window was red.

The scarlet liquid spread along the glass.

The man shook his arm, pulled the blade out of his skull, raised his arm again, and chopped it off hard.

One knife after another.

"Bitch! I'll chop you to death! Damn you bitch!" He roared and roared, as if he was crazy.

The woman's skull, flesh and blood fell off together with wisps of hair, and her whole face was stained red with blood, but with a ferocious smile.

"You loser! Hack me to death! You loser! Hahahaha!"

Gu Yuan felt a chill on his back, and at this moment, it seemed as if his breathing had stopped.

The old woman holding the child stood up and cursed: "Beast! All the shameless beasts deserve to die! Damn!"

She strangled the child in her arms tightly, and kept hitting the little girl's head with her other hand. The girl's eyes were shot out, along with viscous liquid, and a nerve connected the eye socket and eyeball, just like Gu

Yuan was dangling like the headphones he hadn't inserted into his ears when he got in the car.

The little girl smiled sharply and clapped her hands.

"It's fun! It's fun! Hee hee..."

finally.

The girl with braided braids sitting next to her turned her face and smiled, but looked at him with cold eyes.

"Little handsome boy, do you still remember...how you got on this train?"

Gu Yuan's heart twitched suddenly. He turned around and looked at the girl with a joking smile on her face in astonishment. For a moment, he felt in a trance.

yes……

How did I get into this car...

At this moment, the previous memory suddenly became blurry.

He pinched his temples, memories flickering.

"I...because I was heartbroken, I went on a graduation trip to relax..."

He tried to remember.

"Then, I am now in Haicheng, walking along the railway tracks and taking photos..."

"I found a train that was scrapped twenty years ago. Weeds had grown into the carriage. I walked in, leaned on the chair, and wanted to stay here for the night...I would go home tomorrow..."

Suddenly, the whole world became quiet.

He looked around.

All "people" were looking at him with strange eyes.

There was a ferocious and playful smile on his face.

"Oh... he seems to have discovered it." A voice whispered.

There was a "boom" sound.
Chapter completed!
