Chapter 60: A Chance Encounter in the Car
Lu Qiushi got on the train easily, but he sweated profusely in the cold winter of Sanjiu. Lu Qiushi was unlucky, he didn't buy a train ticket such as direct express or express express, but only bought a general express. But there is still a seat, which is much better than those with standing tickets.
Lu Qiushi held his luggage with difficulty, and slowly moved for more than ten minutes before coming to his seat. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he put his luggage on the luggage rack, and then sat down on the seat and gasped for air.
After another ten minutes, the train started slowly, and the temperature in the carriage dropped slightly. The aisles of the carriages were crowded with people, standing, sitting, leaning, or leaning, leaving little space. But Lu Qiushi believes that even so, even if dozens of people come up, this carriage can be digested.
Lu Qiushi made up something before going out, and now he is not hungry.
And don't look at Lu Qiushi's fatness, but he has a habit of not eating on the train and drinking as little water as possible. Look at the scenery outside the window during the day, close your eyes at night, but never sleep.
This may be a habit that has been cultivated since high school.
Lu Qiushi went to high school in other places, and usually only went home once a month, and it took more than four hours to take the train.
When you take the university entrance examination, you should be as far away from home as possible, and you are not willing to go to the university in your province, on the one hand, there is no very good university in the province, and on the other hand, you are a little more free to stay away from home. So he was admitted to Beishi, and it took at least ten hours to take the train.
When I first went to school to report, most of them were accompanied by parents and relatives, and the ten-year-old child was traveling away from home for the first time, and the family was more or less worried.
But for Lu Qiushi, there is nothing, it's just a longer distance. I pulled two suitcases by myself and arrived in Beishi alone.
TV and newspaper networks often report that some people who go out are deceived on the train, their luggage is stolen, etc., so that Lu Qiushi never sleeps on the train, and he is not willing to answer others easily, in order to reduce the number of times he leaves his seat, he also tries not to eat or drink, and after a long time, it has become a habit.
Coincidentally, this time he sat opposite a couple of migrant workers who had returned home, and the two of them were muttering along the way discussing their plans for returning home; Beside Lu Qiushi sat a fashionably dressed avant-garde girl, about her early twenties, with dyed blonde hair, and a few strands of hair deliberately dyed red and willow green to the side.
After getting in the car, I took out a bottle of drinks and a few bags of snacks, put on headphones, and enjoyed music with my eyes closed after eating something.
Several people don't seem to have a common language, so they are all busy with their own things.
The sun was turning west, and it was getting dark. Lu Qiushi quietly looked at the darkening scenery outside the window, and felt that the world was impermanent.
Less than a year ago, I was a student at school, and although my life was simple, I was happy every day.
I thought that I could win the school debate championship for the college three times, and I had a good relationship with most of the teachers, so I could stay in school, but who knew that all the original plans were deviated from because of the mistakes of the underworld.
He was notorious at school for being called a hooligan who pretended to be a ghost, and his classmates who stayed at the school told him that this year's freshmen knew about it.
Although several girls in Lin Xue's dormitory knew the truth of the matter, except for these girls who saw ghosts with their own eyes, who else could believe his words? If you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe that there are ghosts in this world!
After joining the work, Lu Qiushi felt more and more the pressure of life.
North City is originally a fast-paced, high-stress city with a developed economy, a large population, and expensive consumption.
Lu Qiu's sales performance is good, and his income is thousands of dollars per month, but the pressure is even greater, where is it comfortable to stay in school as a teacher.
Although the salary is not as high as it is now, it is about 3,000, accommodation and meals are convenient, the cost of living is low, and there is not so much pressure, this is enjoyment.
It's a pity that the trajectory of life deviates farther and farther, and then I keep encountering all kinds of ghosts, and even threaten my life many times.
It's basically impossible to get out of this circle now. Let's see who they know, first Zhang Panni, then Xu Guangchao and Si Huoren, what kind of cultivation and the like, and the relationship is not bad, even Liu Heng has been pulled into this circle, if they are in danger or something, can Lu Qiushi not ask?
How so? Lu Qiushi was puzzled.
I just want to live simply, live a peaceful life, buy a house, marry a wife, come home from work every day, enjoy life in the small world of two people, and occasionally call friends for a small get-together;
I don't expect anything to be rich or rich, or to be famous, because that would require too much effort, and what you gain will definitely be lost, so it's not worth it. But can we go back to the old trajectory of our lives now?
Lu Qiushi traveled thousands of miles, completely unaware that it was already dark.
"Lunch box! Lunch box! The conductor's shouting woke up Lu Qiushi, watching the conductor pushing the dining car break out of a road in the dense crowd, Lu Qiushi suddenly got up and followed behind the conductor.
After several hours, urgency to urinate. It's easy for someone to open the way, so naturally you can't let it go.
After Lu Qiushi solved his own troubles, he stood at the junction of the carriage and lit a cigarette. Smoking is prohibited in the carriage, and there are still a lot of smokers at the junction of the carriage, but fortunately, this old-fashioned green car has poor airtight performance, so it does not choke people.
Lu Qiushi just took two puffs of cigarettes, glanced into the carriage, looked at his luggage, but his eyes straightened, and he muttered and scolded: "It's really fucking enough." ”
A middle-aged woman walked into the carriage where Lu Qiushi was staying, with haggard hair, rough and dark skin, calloused hands, and the shabby blue-gray and patched clothes she was wearing.
She stumbled all the way, searching for something with those blank eyes as she went. He kept muttering, "Did you see a little red cloth bag?" It's all my fault, if I hadn't been careless, I wouldn't have lost the money for my child's medical treatment, and my child wouldn't have died of illness. ”
Strangely, the people in the carriage ignored her, and even if the woman walked to her side, there was no reaction.
And the woman didn't seem to see anyone else, just looked at the ground around her as she walked, and the people around her passed directly through the person's body as if they didn't exist.
Lu Qiushi stared at her motionless for five minutes, and it wasn't until she walked to her side, and the cigarette in her hand burned to her fingers, and she didn't wake up. Before she could rub her scalded fingers, she spoke.
