Chapter 38: Urgency

I was on the sleeper of the train in my sleep, and I was "banged" intermittently all night.

Every two or three hours when the train is moving, I have to stop at a major station, and when the rhythmic movement and shaking are abruptly stopped, I will be awakened in a daze, and then after the train starts to move slowly again, I continue to have unfinished dreams.

The next day's daylight was so unbearable, I felt that the clock was working against me, and I deliberately slowed down my pace, so that I could not easily reach my destination as soon as possible.

I forgot to bring a good book to kill the boring travel time, and the songs in the MP3 were listened to countless times by me, and it was rotten.

And I have never disdained the magazine readings on the conductor's trolley for the sexual enlightenment education of young people in the urban-rural area.

So I had to continue to sleep on the sleeper to pass the boring time.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the old train, which had not yet increased its speed, finally took me to the destination I was going to arrive.

I forgot to go to the toilet a little earlier before getting off the train, and by the time I thought about getting there, the toilet door was locked and not allowed to be used, because the train had already entered the outskirts of the terminal.

I had to hold back, thinking that when I got out of the car, I could ask Mars Interstellar to take me to the bathroom to solve the problem.

Mars Interstellar said yes to pick me up, his home is on the outskirts of the city, very far from the train station, but he said he would come to the train station by bus two hours earlier.

But when I got off the bus, I dragged a travel suitcase and followed the flow of people moving towards the exit gate, and after leaving the ticket gate, I looked left and right, but I couldn't find the figure of Mars Interstellar.

At first, I jokingly wondered if he was too short and hidden in the crowd, so I couldn't find him for a while.

But then, after waiting for about 20 minutes at the exit of the train station, I realized that Mars was late, and he didn't come to the station early to meet me like the two times I picked him up at the train station.

According to him, the bus from his home to the city takes one hour, so why can't he make it to the train station if he texted me to leave two hours earlier?

Whatever the good reason and reason he had, it was hard for me to accept this at once, I had just stepped into his city, and he gave me a huge cold scene, as if he had poured a basin of cold water on my burning heart, and he was simply underplaying me!

He begged me in every possible way, but why did he disappoint me when I first set foot in his hometown?

Mars Interstellar was still wearing that thin brown cotton coat, still with a sad face, and at a distance of five or six meters from me, he finally came.

At this moment, the reason why I was desperately waiting for him to appear was no longer how much I missed him, but because I was anxious to show up and take me to the bathroom.

But after the meeting, when I complained about how he made me wait for so long, he said a seemingly existential but unlikely reason why the bus shuttle could be delayed by an hour!

I didn't bother to delve into the reason for his tardiness for the time being, and asked him to take me to the bathroom first. But he said he didn't know if there were any nearby, so he said let me bear with it and solve it when I got home. I had no choice but to follow his arrangement.

He asked me if I was taking a taxi or taking a bus, of course I said that taking a taxi, this is obviously faster than the bus, and if I hold it for another hour, I am afraid that I will really not be able to hold it!

When waiting for a taxi on the main road, Mars Interstellar said that the taxi must first negotiate the price with the driver, and the price is five yuan, otherwise they will ask for the price at that time.

The taxi waited for a few, but the driver offered the price of ten yuan, and Mars Interstellar insisted on his price of five yuan, so after bargaining every time, the taxi drove away, and we couldn't get one for half a day.

Later, I was really anxious, so I said, "Ten yuan is ten yuan, it's okay." ”

What I mean by this is that I will pay, as long as I can get out of this cold wind as soon as possible, and make my urine more unbearable in the open air.

But the stubborn Mars Interstellar just didn't agree, and insisted on stopping me and not letting me get into the taxi that cost ten yuan.

Later, when the bus came, Mars said, "Let's take the bus back." ”

I had little choice but to follow him and get on the bus that would run for an hour before I could get to the bathroom of Mars's Star!

We sat in the last row of the bus, which is the bumpiest rear of the bus, so you can imagine how much perseverance I had to endure the urgency of urinating.

As the bus drove through the city, Mars was still very interested, and introduced me to the names of their city buildings and streets, and pointed in the direction of a black rumbling and said that his family's unrenovated house in the city was just behind that side.

Then he pointed out to me a row of brightly lit commercial areas on the side of the road, said that the KFC store was there, and said that he would take me to eat in the future.

Listening to Mars's interstellar introduction here, in a trance, it seemed to suddenly come out of his mouth, the train lady he had invited to eat KFC not long ago......

My face immediately darkened, and I thought to myself, who is rare for you to eat! Although foreign junk food fast food restaurants have not yet opened in my small city for a while, I have not stayed in the provincial capital, and I have not eaten foreign fast food, so what is rare!

In fact, I didn't listen to it at all, and I didn't care about it, all the words and topics of Mars Interstellar at this time, and his various introductions, I didn't look carefully to remember.

My consciousness and attention were almost entirely on my lower abdomen at this point, for I was in a constant struggle with the urgency of urinating.

At this time, Mars Interstellar was very different from him who didn't come to the station on time to pick me up, he affectionately held one of my hands with both hands, like grasping a life-saving straw, holding it tightly, and continued until the bus arrived at the station, and we had to get up and get off the bus, he was willing to let go.

In fact, the distance should not be too far, it is estimated that if you take a taxi, you can get there in one or twenty minutes.

It's just that this bus spends most of its time parking and waiting for passengers, and its stops along the way have sprung up like mushrooms!

When we first got off the train, it was barely daytime, but after waiting for Mars Interstellar for more than 20 minutes, the attempted interception of the taxi wasted a lot of time, plus the stop-and-go bus took an hour, and when we arrived at the Mars Interstellar station and got off, it was already dark.

There are no street lights in the residential area where his house is located, and I can't remember how he was taken by Mars Interstellar to one of the old dormitory buildings.

All I remember was that there were puddles on the road, but luckily I was wearing high-heeled leather boots that covered my trouser legs.

The only thing I remember the most is when Mars opened the door and locked it, and as soon as I entered his house, the first thing I asked was: "Where is the toilet?" Tell me! ”

When I was relieved, I thought back to the time when I was tortured on the bus, and I didn't have incontinence, and I greatly admired my endurance.

Then I, a person who rarely goes far away, let out a heartfelt sigh: "It's really good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out." ”

Do depressed patients have a heavy sense of revenge? When I think about it in hindsight, I don't think something is quite right.

Mars Interstellar, who came to pick me up a long time late, didn't have a single apologetic expression or words at that time, and when he saw me waiting for a long time, he didn't run to me in a hurry, but walked in front of me without hurrying and walked up to me according to the previous pace.

This would definitely not be the case for ordinary people! Usually people who are late for a long time, usually trott in, and first say sorry for the long wait.

So I guess maybe Mars remembered that when I first picked him up, I didn't take the initiative to pick him up after recognizing him, so he deliberately came late to take revenge on me.

But at that time, I picked him up according to the time when the train arrived at the station, and I arrived at the exit of the railway station more than half an hour in advance to wait for him.

When I thought about it, I was left with a shadow in my heart.
