Chapter 5: Patrols
I said I was looking for Su Xin, and I hung up directly on the other end of the phone, and there was a busy tone.
I sat on a small bench beside the path, familiar with the functions of my phone. After a while, a line of words suddenly popped up on the phone, and then disappeared. I ignored it and continued to play, and then a red battery appeared, and the screen went black in an instant.
I put up my phone and looked up to see that the buildings around me were mostly dark, and only a few places were still lit up.
I looked at the sky in the distance in a daze, and a bright light came over, and I looked for the bright light, and a few people in uniform came over.
"Classmate, it's not early, why don't you go back to the dormitory to rest?" spoke a middle-aged man with a very dark face.
I shook my head and told him I wasn't a student here. He looked at my ID and led me to a house at the gate.
Half of the walls of the house are full of televisions, and the pictures on the television seem to be all over the school.
The middle-aged man asked me to sit down, and I sat down.
"You said you were here to give someone away, do you have his phone?" I gave him the phone number of Su Xin's dormitory, and he picked up the phone on the table and called directly.
"Hello, this is the campus duty room, do you have a classmate named Su Xin there? Oh! You are! Do you know a person named Zhang Tianyu?" Then he described my appearance again, hung up the phone, he looked at me, and I looked at him.
After a while, he asked me, "What is the relationship between you and that Su Xin?" I thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing to do with it. He looked me up and down, "Then do you have a place to live, or do you have any other relatives and friends here?" I shook my head again, and he looked around, "Then would you like to come here as a security guard? If you are willing to work as a security guard on the night shift, you can give three thousand a month, but you can't sleep at night. I sighed, "Then I do." ”
He led me into another room, "You have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow you will be given a uniform and other colleagues for you to meet." As he spoke, he patted one of the empty beds, "My name is Fan Bingliang, you can just call me Team Fan." I called out to Team Fan, and the other man nodded.
In this way, I officially became a night security guard at Chujiang University.
Early the next morning, Team Fan took me to the security guard's exclusive canteen for dinner, which was actually a house not far from the gate, where there was a place to eat, and a long dining table fixed with three tables and chairs.
After receiving the uniform, the team formally introduced me to my colleagues in the security team, and the night security guards must have five people on duty, patrolling every two hours, and taking six days off for one day. Except for Team Fan and me, as well as two people sent by the security company, the rest of the security guards were all temporary workers in nearby villages.
There was nothing to do during the day, so I was in a daze in the guard room, remembering the phone matter, I took it out and said to a fat security guard next to me, "This is not lit." He took it and pressed the power button, "Oh! it's out of power, just fill it up." After speaking, he took out a data cable and plugged it into the tail of the phone, and the black screen of the phone turned into a big battery.
"Brother, why are you here to be a night guard?" the fat man looked at me while playing with his mobile phone and asked, I didn't know why, "I don't know, Team Fan asked me to be, I be." The fat man took out his phone, "Are you a relative of the Fan family?" I shook my head again, "I just met last night." The fat man looked around vigilantly, sat down beside me, and a fat face full of flesh almost touched my ears, and said to me in a low voice, "You know what? This school is not clean, and all the demons come out at night." I groaned, and he saw that I wasn't interested in anything, and his phone came out with the phrase "All the troops are attacking." "He never said a word to me again.
I pressed the power button on my phone, and after more than ten seconds, the phone returned to the original picture in my hand. Suddenly, my phone started singing, and it was Xiao Jie calling. I answered the phone, and the other end asked me where I was, and I told him I was at the doorman, and the phone hung up.
After a while, the blue sports car stopped near the gate, and Xiao Jie got out of the car. The fat man glanced up at Xiao Jie, lowered his head and continued to play with his mobile phone.
"You said you were a night guard here?"
I nodded, Xiao Jie touched his chin and thought for a while, "That's okay, there's nothing to do during the day, you can go to the teaching building to listen to the class, or you can go to the Sihui Building to find me, that's the territory of my student union." I sighed, Xiao Jie glanced at the fat man's mobile phone screen, "Yes!" The fat man snorted proudly, and continued to play without raising his head.
Xiao Jie told me that he still had classes, and he would leave when he was free to contact him. As soon as Xiao Jie left, the fat man put down his phone and came over again, patting me on the shoulder, "Boy, it's okay! As soon as I asked who it was, the fat man's mouth couldn't stop, "He is the man of the year in our school, he is not only the president of our school's student union, but also a rich second generation, the future son-in-law of the Lin family." After a pause, he continued: "Do you know the Lin family? That's a famous family in L City, the second lady of their family goes to school with us, and Xiao Jie is in the same class. I looked at the fat man's spittle, and I didn't seem to want to stop, so I picked up my phone and said I'm going out!
There is a campus bus stop not far away, I got on the bus, the sky was cloudy, the air was very stuffy, and it was estimated that it would rain heavily soon.
The bus stopped when it arrived, Su Xin got on the bus, saw me, looked around, and sat next to me. I looked a little unhappy with her, and she didn't say anything to me, just held her chin and looked out the window.
The East Restaurant arrived, some people got off the bus, and some people got on the bus. Su Xin and I went into the restaurant, and she fetched me some food and sat there to watch me eat. I looked at her, "Aren't you going to eat?" Su Xin shook her head, saying that she had no appetite. I groaned and continued to eat.
With tears in her eyes, she burst into tears, causing the people next to her to keep looking at us. I asked her what was wrong? She was just crying, and I was eating there.
At this time, a few students who were fighting were gathered around. One of them, wearing black-framed glasses, patted Su Xin's back, "Senior sister, what's wrong? Su Xin got up and wiped her tears, "Thank you, senior sister, I'm fine." Then he looked around at the people around, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." "The crowd dispersed, and I finished eating.
Su Xin took me to walk on the tree-lined path, "Brother Tianyu, what are your plans next? Aren't you looking for your family? Maybe they are also looking for you." I didn't speak, and seeing that everyone around me was in twos and threes, I asked her, "Why don't you see the other girls in your dorm with you?" she lowered her head, "We are not a professional, and we don't have a common language with each other." I groaned, and the atmosphere fell silent.
The sky began to rain in drops, and soon it became a torrential downpour. Su Xin and I hurriedly ran to a roof where we could shelter from the rain.
At this time, someone honked the horn. It was the fat man who came over in the security guard's patrol car, and Su Xin and I hurriedly ran into the car. The fat man looked back at the two of us, "I've seen you two in the surveillance a long time ago, what's your relationship?" Su Xin hugged my arm, "This is my brother Tianyu." The fat man smiled and said, "I think it's your love brother, right?" Su Xin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
The fat man parked the car next to the guard room, Su Xin and I entered the guard room, and a few beeps came out of my pocket, and I took out my mobile phone, it was a text message. I handed the phone to Su Xin, "What is written on this?" Su Xin took the phone and showed a happy expression, "It's Senior Xiao Jie who asked you to dinner." I saw Su Xin holding her phone tightly, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." Su Xin looked at me in disbelief, "Really? You're so nice." After a while, Su Xin asked me, "Give me the phone, what do you do?" I patted the phone on the table, "Need to call this." ”
The rain was a little lighter, and I asked the fat man to send Su Xin back to the place where she went to class. The fat man came back to tell me that Su Xin seemed to be a little withdrawn, and she didn't take the initiative to greet people when she saw them, and she didn't look as cheerful when she saw me just now. Later, I learned that it was not loneliness, it was inferiority.
In the afternoon, I watched TV in the security room for a while, during which the principal came, and the fat man told me which one was the president, which was the head of each department, and which one was the professor, and I had to say hello when I saw them.
When it was time for dinner, I ate in the security guard's own small cafeteria, which didn't taste as good as the big restaurant, but I wasn't a picky eater either. When I ate, I stunned the fat man, and I ate three times as much food as he usually did.
After dinner, the day shift can go back to rest. The night shift officially went to work, and the team leader of the night shift was a thin man, very thin, and he felt that he could hang on the tree when the wind was strong, nicknamed hemp pole.
I changed into a security guard's uniform, took a duty machine and a walkie-talkie, and followed the hemp pole out. In pairs, they patrol separately, go to the patrol point and use the duty machine to punch in, and then go to the library to meet, and then the two of them drive the patrol car, just go back and forth in the school, and the work is actually very leisurely.
Ma Zhu is not very talkative, he is from the surrounding villages, building a school occupies all the farmland of his family, and compensates his family with a large sum of money, which he used to open a large hotel in the village. In the end, because of the treatment of the child, they were all sold, and the child was not saved, these are all told by the fat man and me. He didn't have any skills, and there was no land in the village, so he could only come to work as a security guard to supplement his family. His wife helps wash vegetables and dishes in the back kitchen of the East Restaurant.
Since it had just rained, the weather was humid and the air was relatively fresh. The hemp pole walked in front, and I followed behind, and along the way, there was no one else except a few students. When I arrived at the check-in point, the hemp pole told me that if I turned on this thing in my hand and pressed this button on this thing, it would be considered a successful check-in.
Because of this time period, most of them are studying at night, and those who don't study are also looking for their own entertainment activities, so there are not many people in the park. Ma Pole took me into a convenience store at school, where the clerks of each store were basically work-study students, and when they saw Ma Pole coming, they habitually took down a pack of cigarettes from the shelves behind them. He took the money out of his jacket pocket, put it on the cash register, picked up the cigarette and came out.
Standing at the door, he opened the cigarette case, handed me one, he took one himself, lit the fire, took a heavy puff, and then handed me the fire, I smoked it like him, and an indescribable smell filled my mouth, although it was not uncomfortable, but it was not as enjoyable as he did.
After smoking, I continued walking, and when I was about to reach the library, the hemp pole stopped, turned to me, and said, "You wait for me for a while, and I'll go to the toilet." With that, he trotted away. I stayed where I was, talking about going to the toilet, I hadn't been to the toilet since I woke up, there were no big or small ones, it was so strange.
Just as I was thinking about it, the man who had a strange smell yesterday came up to me again, and I looked at him, and this time he looked at me. The two looked at each other for a moment, and he spoke first, "We know each other?" I shook my head, "I don't remember." He looked me up and down, smiling.
At this time, the hemp stalk also came out of the toilet. The two of us continued to patrol, and after walking two steps, we ran back to the toilet with the hemp rod covering our stomachs.
Just as I was about to go to the toilet to see him, he told me from the intercom to let me go to the library first, and he went straight back to the gate post in a while. I listened and moved on.
By the time I got to the library, the security guards at the other points were already waiting for me.
