I looked at the gray-brown copper plate in the middle-aged man's hand.
And his words.
I looked extremely shocked, but didn't wait for me to speak.
The middle-aged man handed it forward again:
"Why are you standing there? Take it."
"Oh, okay!"
I subconsciously agreed and took the copper plate.
Suddenly someone took the initiative to strike up a conversation with me and told me something about my hidden worries this month. I was surprised and confused.
I saw that the copper plate was one size larger than the ordinary copper plate.
And over the years, the words on it have almost been worn away.
Don't wait for me to say thank you.
The commuter bus arrived at the gate of the factory.
As the car door opened, the workers got out of the car one after another.
The middle-aged man was no exception, and he didn't even look at me.
I was scrolling through Douyin and got out of the car as if nothing had happened.
I looked at the copper plate in my hand and wanted to ask a few questions.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't even know what the other person's name was.
Plus there are a lot of people.
When I got out of the car and wanted to chase him, the middle-aged man was gone.
I took a deep breath and put away the copper plate.
I thought to myself, this is the advice from an expert.
Otherwise, how could you see through my hidden worries at a glance?
Since you gave me such a copper plate, it must be useful.
If you encounter those strange things at night again.
With the guidance of the middle-aged brother, we should be able to live in peace.
Looking at the copper plate, it was like taking a reassurance.
My whole mood has improved a lot, and I'm not so scared anymore.
When we got to the line, we continued to drive screws and worked mechanically for eight hours.
The workload was not that heavy today, and I felt much better. I didn’t make any more mistakes or get called out.
When I got off work, I held the bronze plate in my hand and stood at the door of the commuter bus.
I looked around for the middle-aged brother who gave me the coin in the afternoon.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes, no one was seen.
"Hey, can you get in the car? I have to leave!"
When the driver saw me standing at the door and not moving, he urged me.
"Come on! Come on now."
After saying that, I looked around twice before turning around and getting in the car.
If I didn’t meet the middle-aged brother in the afternoon, I wouldn’t have this ancient coin.
I definitely don't dare to go back tonight, I plan to go to an Internet cafe to sleep.
But now that I have this copper plate, I plan to do what my elder brother said.
If something weird like that happens again, I will throw this old money on the ground.
After all, this kind of thing must come to an end.
You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.
Sitting in the car, I held the ancient coins tightly in my hands, and my palms were sweating.
About half an hour later, I arrived at the intersection.
I shrank my neck and got out of the car with some vigilance.
The commuter bus started and left quickly.
I looked at the intersection again, and it was deserted.
The whole street was silent.
Except for the dim street lights, there was no one around.
I was relieved to see no one.
Get ready to cross the road and go back.
But at this moment, a plaintive female voice sounded faintly from behind:
"Brother, can you change some money for me?"
As soon as this voice appeared, I felt a chill coming from behind.
My face suddenly changed color.
This voice belongs to the woman under the streetlight last night.
My whole body was tense, and goosebumps appeared layer by layer.
But he still suppressed the fear in his heart and mechanically turned sideways.
The corner of his eye kept glancing back.
I saw it not far behind me.
I don't know when, a woman in white stood.
The woman had long black hair and was wearing a long white dress. Her head was slightly lowered and her face could not be seen clearly.
The exposed skin is very white, as white as A4 test paper.
Whether it's the voice or the appearance.
They are exactly the same as the woman in white I met last night.
My breathing became faster unconsciously.
It's summer, but my teeth are chattering.
But the woman didn't react when she saw me.
Then he suddenly said:
"Brother, can you change some money for me?"
I shrank my head in fear and held my breath.
Feeling the waves of coldness coming over me.
He held the bronze plate in his hand and threw it to the ground.
He stammered;
"Here, here, here, here you go.
Take the money, take the money and leave!!!”
The first time I spoke, I stuttered so much.
The copper plate fell to the ground, making a clear "bang bang" sound, and finally rolled to the feet of the woman in white.
The woman in white looked at the copper plate on the ground and said slowly and sadly:
"Thanks!"
After saying that, he squatted down to pick it up.
Only then did I notice.
This woman, standing under the streetlight, had no shadow.
There was a "buzzing" sound in his head, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
There is only one thing without shadow, ghost...
I was so frightened that I was breathing rapidly. I didn't dare to waste another second, so I turned around and ran across the road.
But as soon as I ran onto the road, someone seemed to pull me violently from behind.
A stagger slowed down my running speed.
Also at the same time.
Bursts of piercing horns and brakes sounded at the same time:
"Buzzing, buzzing..."
A garbage truck loaded with soil passed me only thirty centimeters away.
I even felt the heat waves radiating from the tires of the dirt truck.
I had a brush with death, and I was so frightened that I sat down on the ground.
The garbage truck suddenly braked and stopped twenty or thirty meters away. A lot of mud and rocks fell from the truck.
There was even a long skid mark on the ground.
A bald man jumped down in a hurry.
Seeing that I was fine, he patted his chest and took a deep breath.
But then, he cursed at me fiercely:
"You really want to die, die somewhere else. Mahler Gobi, don't hit my car like that, you're scaring me to death, you idiot!"
After speaking, he spat.
Turn around and get in the car, start the garbage truck again and leave.
With lingering fear, I looked at the car's taillights and got up from the ground.
Look at the sidewalk behind you again.
I found that the woman in white had raised her head and was standing ten meters away from me.
At this moment, she was holding the copper plate.
His pale face became extremely excited.
A pair of eyes with no pupils but black holes were widened, and the corners of his mouth were raised and he smiled strangely at me...
