Author: Looking at the beauty after crossing the water
Chapter 2
It was still sunny at noon, but it started to get cloudy in the afternoon.
Arriving at the door of the massage parlor again, Zhang Yi put his hand on the glass door handle and saw the massage chair through the pink glass door.
His face was livid, his whole body was stiff, his legs were limp, he felt a strong sense of nausea, and his stomach was churning.
"Hey, can you come in? If not, please give way."
A man wearing Hanfu stood behind him and looked at Zhang Yi disdainfully: "This is a regular massage parlor. Go inside, there are several hair salons and... Hey, what are you running for??"
Huhuhu...
Breathing violently, as if his lungs were about to burst, Zhang Yi stopped, looked back behind him, took out his mobile phone, and looked up the train tickets leaving L City.
The nearest train is at 10pm, and tickets for the bus are available at 7pm tonight.
So after ordering the bus ticket on my mobile phone, I immediately walked towards the passenger terminal.
Arriving at the ticket window, Zhang Yi took out his mobile phone to pick up the tickets.
Train number [35] departs at 7:45.
After getting the ticket, Zhang Yi went to the waiting hall and found a seat by the window to sit down.
I took out my phone, clicked on the video news, and started watching videos.
"Young man, do you want insoles? They are good insoles sewn by hand. They are very comfortable to wear."
At this time, an old lady came over with a young man.
The old lady was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and carrying a basket in her hand. She walked up to Zhang Yi and took out a pair of thick white insoles from the basket.
"No, thank you!"
"It's very cheap. It costs three yuan a pair. It has a peace bat embroidered on it. I wish you a safe journey."
"Hello grandpa, grandpa is safe and may live a long life."
The young man standing behind the old lady suddenly stuck his head out, with a big bubbling nose on his face, and grinned stupidly at Zhang Yi.
Being called grandpa by someone of his own age, Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
"Don't yell, it's big brother."
The old lady turned back to correct her grandson.
The young man who was scolded by his grandma lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and began to count: "34, 34, 34..."
"I'm sorry, this child is born stupid."
This time, Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed. He looked at the fool and asked, "What are you counting? Why is there only 34?"
"Hehe." The fool giggled: "Because only 34 people died!"
Zhang Yi:......
"Keep talking nonsense and I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The old lady glared at the fool, turned around and wanted to continue selling, but Zhang Yi said before she could say anything: "Give me a pair of insoles."
"well."
The old lady quickly took out a pair of brand new insoles from the basket and handed them to Zhang Yi.
"This, this is good, big brother buy this."
At this time, the fool took out another pair of insoles from the basket. There was no embroidery on them, but a few random scribbles with watercolor pens.
The crooked lines look messy.
"This can't be sold, it's all your graffiti."
The old lady quickly asked him to put the insoles back in.
"No need to change, just this."
"Well...I...I'll give you another pair of good ones."
Zhang Yi took out a 5-dollar bill and handed it to the old lady: "No, just one pair is enough."
The old lady took the money, fumbled around and took out a plastic bag with a lot of change in it, fumbled around and took out two coins and handed them to Zhang Yi.
"Young man, you are a kind and good person, but I think you..."
The old lady wanted to say something else, but the fool suddenly started twisting the old lady's arm and acting violently.
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry!!"
"Okay, okay, let's take you to eat. Let's go eat."
The old lady looked around cautiously and quickly coaxed the fool to leave quickly.
Finally gone!
As soon as the grandfather and grandson left, two security guards on patrol came to Zhang Yi.
"How much did the insoles cost you?"
"Three yuan, what's the problem?"
"Oh, that's no problem. Be careful in the future. They are actually professional scammers. They sell insoles just to get closer to you. That fool is not her grandson."
"Are they liars?"
"What do you think? I'm deliberately trying to gain sympathy, and then I'll tell you that this fool is born to guard the village. He can see bad things pestering you. If there are two helpers on the side, I'm not afraid that you won't be fooled."
Another young security guard was afraid that Zhang Yi would not believe it, so he added:
"I've been working here for three months. I didn't believe it at first, but in three months I saw at least five idiots around her. They were all rented from nearby villages. They looked stupid and they were all staged. Look,
When he saw us coming, he immediately took the old lady and ran away."
"You were lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. Don't wait too long when you are out, especially at the station or the airport. Leave as early as possible."
"I also want to leave early, but the train hasn't left yet."
Hearing this, the older security guard glanced at the clouds outside the window: "I'm afraid it's going to rain today. If you're lucky, leave early. If you're not lucky, you may have to wait longer. Just pay attention to safety."
"Oh well."
As soon as the two security guards left, Zhang Yi looked at the insole in his hand and put it in his pocket.
"At least three yuan."
"No. 15! No. 15!!"
Outside the waiting hall, someone started shouting the bus number with a loudspeaker.
People who heard the bus number stood up and walked out.
"Tick tock~tick tock~"
Heavy raindrops fell outside the window, and the cold wind felt refreshing on my cheeks.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the time on the clock on the wall had already reached 7:40, but the car outside did not show any sign of starting.
When Zhang Yi came to the service desk, the staff on duty at the station were already patiently explaining to everyone.
"Don't be impatient, just wait. It's raining too much now and it's not safe. Please be patient and wait..."
"Isn't it just raining a little? Why can't we leave?"
"I should have known better to buy train tickets."
When they heard the news that the departure time would be postponed, the emotions in the crowd exploded instantly.
But some people think it's normal. Zhang Yi heard a few people around him think it was good.
"It rained heavily last month, and the river suddenly flooded the national highway, killing many people. Now whenever it rains heavily, departures are delayed as much as possible."
"Well, 34 people. I read in the report that it was a team building for a company called Tianhua Sales, but they all died."
"All dead?"
"Yes, it's a national highway not far from the passenger terminal. That section of the road is close to the river. The river rushed over and the bus was washed into the river."
"No, isn't there a person alive? It seems that someone ran out of the bus, it was a girl."
"Look at the reports, the girl died too. She ran too slowly and was swept into the river. Even her body was not found."
"Oh, now that you've put it this way, I have an impression. The girl's boyfriend was supposed to be on the bus, but he suddenly had diarrhea at the station and fell into coma. He didn't get on the bus, but he survived."
"I heard that the boy was guarding the riverside every day, and he seemed to be crazy."
"Oh, how pitiful, God is blind and always likes to do such immoral things."
Several people talked about the accident last month, and they felt sorry for each other, which aroused the resonance of many people. The few people who were clamoring to start the car just now also stopped talking.
Zhang Yi stood outside, listening to the crowd's discussion about the last heavy rain. He stopped joining in the crowd and turned around to walk outside the waiting hall.
The thick mist made the surroundings look gray.
At this time, he looked through the fence, and the grandfather and grandson who had just left were standing under the greenhouse.
The old lady held a bowl of noodles in her hand, and the fool held a sausage in his hand.
Seeing Zhang Yi's gaze, the fool laughed stupidly while eating.
Zhang Yi turned his head away.
"Da da da..."
A burst of trivial footsteps came from behind.
"Hurry up! Hurry up, if you don't leave, you will drive."
Several people ran into the parking lot in the rain.
Isn’t it delayed?
It was dark inside the parking lot, and the roar of car engines could be heard faintly in the distance.
"35! 35! 35! I'm driving before I come!!"
At this time, a shout came from the parking lot.
After confirming that it was the bus number he was riding on, Zhang Yi hurriedly walked inside without having time to think too much.
"Coming!"
He stepped on the stagnant water and walked quickly forward in the direction the pedestrian had just run.
The bus was parked at the very back, with gray-white lights on, and it looked like it was almost full.
In front of the bus door, the driver was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and holding a horn in his hand. He was almost soaked in the rain as he stood in the rain.
Seeing Zhang Yi, the driver glanced up and down: "35?"
"right!"
"Oh, you are the only one left, hurry up, hurry up, get in the car."
Zhang Yi walked onto the car holding the armrest.
Bang bang...
The floor of the carriage was full of water and sludge, mixed with the smell of shampoo and sweat. Zhang Yi found a seat by the window and sat down, reaching out to push the window open a crack to let in the cool breeze.
"Master, drive quickly!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The driver wiped the rain off his face and sat in the driver's seat, still cursing about the horrible weather.
"Pfft..." The car door slowly closed and slowly drove out of the passenger terminal gate.
"Finally leaving."
When Zhang Yi looked out the car window, he found that the fool was standing at the gate, grinning half-smilingly, staring at himself, and moving his lips slightly: "35, 35, 35, 35..."
