Although this little episode between mother and son didn't happen for a long time, it still lasted half a day.
The driver looked at his watch and yelled, "It's already half an hour past the departure time."
He quickly urged all the passengers to buy some convenient food to take with them, rushed the guests into the car, counted the number of people, and set off on the road with the steering wheel.
The beautiful scenery on the roadside flashed past the car window one by one, and the plaque of Xinzhuang and the flowers and green willows that filled the highway were also left far away by the car. The fields on the roadside gradually became desolate, and the number of people and buildings became much less common.
I heard the north wind roaring outside the window, making the car windows rattle.
It gets dark early in the north, and it's December again. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is as dark as ink, and there are very few buildings with lights on on the roadside. It's almost impossible to see where you are.
, the whole sky and earth were pitch black.
Only the occasional car coming from the opposite direction on the highway with its headlights on makes people feel a little lively.
"Xiao Wang, change hands, I'll rest for a while." The driver had been driving for a day, and he just ate some convenience food at noon, and then set off again. He was already very tired.
"Okay, please!" The deputy named Xiao Wang shouted loudly, took the steering wheel and continued to drive the bus.
Generally, a long-distance bus like this that travels thousands of miles must have at least two drivers. For no other reason than driving without blinking for several hours, it is easy to get visual fatigue, misread the road, and make mistakes in judgment. To prevent accidents,
They often change shifts every few hours and take turns driving.
After the driver changed his shift, he hurriedly moved his hands and feet, which were numb and sore, and ate some food before finding a bunk to lie down and sleep for a while.
This long-distance bus is a double-decker sleeper bus, specially prepared for people traveling long distances.
Before the apocalypse, this kind of double-decker sleeper bus often caused serious traffic accidents, so it was banned. However, after the apocalypse, due to the decrease in vehicle operation, this convenient and fast bus was re-used.
Maybe it was because the sky outside the window was already very dark and there was not much to see; maybe it was because the car was too monotonous with no entertainment activities and it was very lonely; everyone saw that the driver and master had all lied down and fell asleep, so they all took a nap too.
Yawning, one after another went to bed to rest.
Gradually, except for one or two people in the car who were still playing with their mobile phones and occasionally making a few mechanical electronic sounds, everyone else closed their eyes and fell asleep. The headlights on the roof of the car were also turned off, and the few remaining people made
Waiting in dim light makes it easier for everyone to have a good sleep.
It was very quiet outside the window, pitch black, and there were only two long-distance buses running with their headlights on on the long highway. It was also quiet inside the car, with only the substitute driver Xiao Wang driving, and the sound of the car's engine running.
and the sound of wind outside the window accompanied him.
Doing as the Romans do, Shen Feifei also jumped on the bed, pulled up the seat belt and buckled it on her body, closed her eyes and became confused, preparing to have a good dream.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky became darker and darker. The clock on the front of the car showed that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone was fast asleep, and snoring continued one after another.
Suddenly, the bus, which was running at a constant speed, suddenly braked, leaving a long brake mark with a loud sound. The car's inertia did not decrease, and it suddenly moved forward.
"Ouch -" A passenger lying on the bed did not wear a seat belt and was pushed forward by the inertia of the car. His head hit the luggage with a dull sound. Although the bag was separated by the bag, he was still hit.
I was in pain and immediately screamed.
It was not easy for other passengers to get there. Some people really had a big bump on their head and screamed in pain. The more serious ones were knocked down from the second floor and almost broke their bones.
Most of the people in the car had their seat belts fastened and were fine. But they were also shocked and thought there had been a traffic accident.
"What's going on, what's going on, ah? Why did it suddenly brake and kill us!" a passenger roared.
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly, you don't know how to drive!" Everyone was shocked and reluctantly started to stand up.
"Don't worry, don't worry, let me see what's going on." The driver was also awakened by the emergency brake at this time, and he became dissatisfied. He went to see what happened to that little king with a tigerish face.
"Xiao Wang, what's the matter with you? You were driving well, why did you suddenly brake? Who is responsible for causing the safety accident?" The driver was very dissatisfied. This Xiao Wang is usually very smart and drives steadily.
I just took him on a long run. It’s been fine for so long. Why, something like this happened today!
The little king didn't seem to hear everyone's scoldings or the driver's questions. He just stared straight at the road ahead without even turning his head.
"That, that, there -" Xiao Wang finally spoke, but his voice was full of trembling, and he pointed to the front of the bus, very scared.
"What's going on there?" The driver looked in the direction of Xiao Wangzhi and immediately took a breath of air.
Not far away, in the shadow of the bus headlights ahead, in the hazy light, a long-haired woman wearing a red bridal dress was sitting and kneeling on the bare road. Her long hair was spread all the way to the ground, covering her face.
Below, there are no legs visible.
She turned her back to them and never looked back. The bride's figure was stretched by the headlights.
Very weird, very spooky, very scary!
Who is that person?
Why is the bride wearing red?
And why is she sitting on her knees on the bare highway so late in the freezing cold? She is not afraid of the cold?
Your hair is so long and you can’t even see your feet?
A series of questions lingered in everyone's mind, making everyone panic and look at each other.
"Let's, let's go take a look. How many of you will come and take a look together?" The driver was also a little scared. He took out a flashlight from the tool box of the car and invited others to go and investigate the situation.
"Ah, there is no village in the front and no store in the back. Why is there a woman here, wearing red clothes? It's too scary. We won't go, we won't go!" Some timid tourists immediately huddled together and refused to come.
.
After hearing this, the others were frightened and refused to go. Only one or two brave young people were willing to go with the driver, but they also used a few wrenches, pliers and the like as weapons before following the driver and the boy.
The queen slowly got out of the car.
"Don't close the door, so we can run back later!" The driver warned the people in the car before getting out of the car quietly.
Passengers in the car cheered and crowded to the front of the cab, intending to take a closer look through the large glass window in front. A few people who had not squeezed to the front climbed onto the second-floor berths and raised their necks to watch intently.
