Chapter 21: The Ugliness of the World
After not experiencing the congestion of the morning rush hour for a long time, Jiang Yu sat in the driver's seat, put his hand on the steering wheel, and looked ahead.
Although the air conditioning in the car was already very low, due to the large number of people, I still felt a burst of heat in my body.
There is a bus stop after the traffic light ahead, and from a distance, you can already see that many people have gathered there, almost all of them are rushing to eat breakfast with breakfast.
There are students, office workers, and the elderly.
Because the elderly who have reached the age of 70 can ride the bus for free with the senior citizen card, and the elderly get up early and always crowd with office workers and students in the morning rush hour.
Most of the time, young people can't squeeze them.
One is that many people feel embarrassed to do this, and the other is that they really dare not touch the elderly, in case they bump it, the old body is quite fragile.
After the traffic light, Man Man parked next to the bus stop, and as soon as he opened the door, the crowd swarmed up, and almost no one got off the back door.
"Everyone, go to the back, don't get stuck in the front!"
Jiang Yu always paid attention to the situation at the door, for fear that something would happen during the pushing.
There are so many people at this station that there are not many empty seats in the carriage anymore.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! If you can't squeeze it, you can wait for the next one! It's coming soon!"
A student with a big schoolbag, about the appearance of junior high school, was about to be the last to squeeze up, but was pulled by the old man behind him, and fell down like this, the old man saw the vacant seat and immediately squeezed up, the carriage was close to saturation, and Jiang Yu could only close the door.
The camera recorded the scene, and the little boy who was squeezed out of the car on the screen looked stunned, but he could only slowly and awkwardly step back, looking at the road behind him, hoping that the next car would arrive soon.
Jiang Yu looked at the images on the screen, although she was confused, she could still feel those emotions, and she only felt distressed.
It's more helpless, she's just a bus driver, and her responsibility is to send the passengers sitting in the car safely to their destinations, and she can't take care of other compassion.
Before, she heard Team Chen say that the policy of free bus rides for the elderly card in S City was about to be canceled, and she didn't know if it was true or not.
If the news is true, naturally some people are happy and some are worried, but as far as Jiang Yu's personal opinion is concerned, she supports the cancellation.
Of course, this approach is not aimed at a certain group, because the good or bad of human nature is a relationship between the general and the individual.
It is too inaccurate to say that the malice of the elderly is so inaccurate, there are so many wicked people of every age, and even some children will have terrible malice, and it is often ignorant and unprovoked malice that is even more frightening.
The so-called human nature is inherently evil, and this is probably the case.
Most of the time, people only see the waves churning on the surface of the sea, but they do not understand what lies in the depths of the ocean.
…
During the twenty-minute lunch break, Jiang Yu took out the bread he bought at the convenience store early in the morning.
At this time, several drivers will gather to drink tea, smoke a cigarette, and share what happened on the bus in the morning.
No, in the lounge, a small crowd was talking about something.
"Did something happen?" Jiang Yu stood at the door with bread in his hand.
Lao Xia put down his cigarette: "Xiao Jiang is here, come on, listen to me tell me what happened in the car just now!"
"At Huayuan Road Station, an elderly couple came up......"
In the morning, there were many people, and by the time we were nearly halfway through the journey, the carriage was already full.
As soon as the old man came up, he dropped the old man's card, and began to look around, probably to see if he had given up his seat.
In the seat next to the couple, there was a young couple, who were watching a video with their phones plugged into their headphones, so they didn't notice the old man coming up.
Finding that no one in the car gave up their seats to them, the old man became angry, ripped off the headphones worn by the young couple, and snatched the mobile phone as well.
The boy and girl were stunned by this situation, and they looked at the person in front of them in disbelief.
The old man roared angrily: "I am so old with the old woman, and when I got in the car, I didn't see you give me a seat!"
The boy instantly figured out what was going on, and quickly stood up, and the girl next to him also stood up, he explained, "I'm sorry, we just watched the video and didn't notice you guys coming up. Sit down. ”
The elderly couple sat down as they wished, their faces still gloomy.
The boy was obviously a little depressed, but he had to carefully retrieve his phone and headphones.
I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that the husband and wife would still refuse to give up that year, and the two began a new round of verbal attacks.
"Why are young people so unqualified nowadays? Do you know the four words of respecting the old and loving the young? I see that you little red guys are tired of living! Do you know what I did when I was young? Are you thinking about what you are when you provoke me? When I came out to break into the rivers and lakes, you didn't know where the was? Didn't your parents teach you how to be polite? Are they all dead? Do you want me to go to the grave and put incense sticks on them?"
If the boy could still endure it silently before, then he couldn't bear the last sentence at all.
"Didn't they all give up their seats to you, and the reasons were all explained, and there was no end? What qualifications do you have to say about my parents?"
The old man's combat effectiveness is very strong, and the grandmother next to him is not bad at all, although she doesn't talk so much, but she keeps repeating to the girl on the side: "Your mother is dead." ”
The boy retorted with a red face, the girl looked aggrieved and wanted to cry, and the old man still pointed to the boy's and girl's relatives and family members to greet each other, and it was hard to hear the ultimate swear words as soon as he spoke.
At this time, the passengers in the carriage finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they came out to accuse the elderly couple of being unreasonable, and an aunt stepped forward to pull the boy and girl over, and the girl cried and said, why did they have apologized and scolded them like this, and the boy also looked aggrieved.
An uncle comforted the boy, and the warm-hearted aunt even hugged the girl, patting her on the back while gently persuading like a mother.
Seeing this scene, the two old men intensified, and the more they spoke, the more ugly they became, from scolding boys and girls to scolding the whole carriage together.
The old grandmother's old, shrill voice kept repeating "Your mother is dead", like the vicious spell of an old witch, and like a terrible amulet.
Their cloudy eyes were weak when they got into the car, but now, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, glowing with a strange light, longing for a sharp claw to reach out of its eye, and scratch them so bruised and bleeding that they can't stop bleeding.
"Damn little bastard, let me teach you a lesson today!" the old man showed a fierce expression.
This sentence made the originally silent man suddenly stand up and walked straight to the old man.
"Little bastard? I think you're an old bastard! You have the qualifications to teach others a lesson? When you were young, you were so powerful and prestigious, aren't you just a hooligan?! Oh, you were a hooligan when you were young, and when you grow up, you are a scumbag, and now you are the scum of society! You are disrespectful to the old! Take your old woman to show your shame and say 'your mother is dead', you should follow your father's grave to learn the truth of being a man! The young man has already apologized, explained the reason, and is still rambling, relying on the fact that he is young and has quality! Do you know what this is called, this is called a social cancer! When you are old, you enjoy the benefits given by the state, but you still have to drag down the society, how many old people will be ashamed of you!"
In a paragraph, each word is like a machine-gun fire, firing accurately and coherently.
The old man was angry in an instant, and he was about to fight, but was stopped by everyone.
At this time, the bus happened to have stopped at the station, the man directly picked up the old man's bag, threw it out through the open back door, and the old man scolded viciously: "You are thinking, are you wrong?!" and quickly got off the bus to pick up the bag.
…
"As soon as I saw the two of them go down to pick up the bag, and no one got out of the car again, I quickly closed the door and drove away!" Lao Xia said excitedly, "You really didn't see it, the people in the car were applauding!
"Well done, that kind of person should be punished!"
"How can that sentence come about, 'It's not the old man who gets bad, it's the bad guy who gets old'!"
"Isn't that it?"
"I hope to quickly cancel the benefits of their free buses, and in the morning they will grab seats with the students! People are going to school, what are they going to do? Aren't they just running around blindly because they are free?"
"If you don't like it, you should stay at home obediently when you are old, and if you come out, you will cause trouble to others! In case, right, you fall on the road, or bump on the bus, who will be responsible? I can't remember anything at that time!"
"Yes, the weather is hot now, and it's easy to get heat stroke! What should I do if something happens? Now there are a lot more people touching porcelain!"
Jiang Yu listened to it on the side, and he was also very angry.
"Let's go, let's go, it's time to go!"
The crowd dispersed at once, and the drivers went back to their cars to start their afternoon work.
…
Jiang Yu sat in the driver's seat, adjusting the tools around him, still thinking about what Lao Xia said.
The ugliness and evil in the world can't be seen enough.
Unlike other things, good and evil exist in every corner.
The so-called "gentleman and villain always think about it in a year", and the gentleman has truth and falsehood, and villains also have truth and falsehood.
In those places where you can't see and can't, light and darkness coexist, good and evil coexist.
They fight each other and depend on each other.
Speaking of which, she has also encountered a lot of these things, but she really hasn't encountered the weird ones that Lao Xia said today.
She still has qualifications, and she can only pray that she will not meet such a person, or that someone can come out to administer justice.
If something really happened, she didn't think she could handle it very easily.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and what Jiang Yu was worried about still happened.
