Yunzhou City Bus Company held an annual recruitment meeting, although the bus driver is not a particularly decent profession, but the job is stable, the income is also passable, so the personnel department in charge of recruitment still received a lot of job seekers' resumes. In the end, 20 applicants were selected from more than 200 applicants and became the latest batch of bus drivers.

Yang Chao is one of these twenty people, he was able to apply for the job, a large part of the reason is that he is a bus driver, but also in Yunzhou City to drive a taxi, before in Guangzhou when the bus, where the high cost of living made him feel helpless, the hard-earned income, in the end all handed over to the landlord and the snack bar, a few years down, there is no money left in the hand, buy a house, buy a car and marry a wife can only be thought about in a dream, so he was heartbroken, simply resigned, and went home.

After returning to Yunzhou City, just in time for the annual recruitment of the bus company, he submitted his resume without thinking about it, and the interview process went smoothly, and the most pleased thing for him was that the company also provided a dormitory, two people in a room; Yang Chao pinched his fingers and calculated, although the salary here was lower than that in Guangzhou, but after deducting the rent and food expenses, the rest was more than that in Guangzhou, so he quickly went through the entry procedures happily.

The newly recruited bus drivers were placed in a small old-fashioned building that used to be the office of the bus company, and when the new office building was completed, the small building was converted into a dormitory building. The small building has four floors, the rooms on the second to fourth floors have long been filled, and the newcomers are arranged on the first floor, the rooms are not big, each room can only accommodate two people, and Yang Chao's dormitory is in the innermost room.

Yang Chao pushed open the door of the dormitory, a rotten musty smell and dust smell came to his face, Yang Chao was unprepared, he was choked and coughed all of a sudden, and a voice suddenly sounded behind him and said: "Yo!! How can this live? ”

Yang Chao turned his head to look at a man in his forties, not tall, a little fat, his hairline had seriously receded, and a pair of mouse eyes were staring straight into the room, his brows were furrowed, and he looked disgusted!

Yang Chao glanced at him and asked, "Big brother, do you also live in this house?" ”

The man glanced at Yang Chao and said, "It's not! I've been with you all the way! Brother, you're not very vigilant! ”

Yang Chao didn't care about the man's words, thinking about what vigilance I want from a bus driver, judging from the man's words, he should be his roommate, although Yang Chao doesn't like the man in front of him too much, but after all, there are many opportunities to get along in the future, and he can't look up and see him, so he slowly straightened up, stretched out his hand and said: "Big brother, hello!" My name is Yang Chao, please take care of me in the future! ”

The man was carrying the luggage in his hand, and when he saw Yang Chao stretching out his hand, he not only did not respond, but said angrily: "Let's not shake hands first!" Or do you want to think about this house? I'm a particular person, but I don't want to live in the same room with dust! ”

Yang Chao's hand hung in the air, and when he met such a person, he felt very embarrassed for a while, Yang Chao had upgraded from not liking him very much to hating him! Yang Chao reluctantly retracted his hand and replied: "It seems that this room has been useless for some days, you must buy some cleaning tools as soon as possible and clean it well, otherwise you won't be able to live tonight." ”

After hearing this, the man's face suddenly changed, and he said to Yang Chao with a flattering face: "Oops! Then this is going to trouble you young people, I'm old and allergic to dust... How much money did it take to buy the tool then, tell me, I won't let you suffer... I'll go to the office first to see what other formalities need to be done... The man began to turn around as he spoke, and before Yang Chao could answer, he left by himself... Yang Chao looked at the back of the walking away, snorted coldly, and scolded in a low voice: "What kind of person! ”

Yang Chao didn't want to affect his mood because of him, so he pushed open the dormitory door and walked in. The dormitory window faces north, the room is on the first floor, the room is very damp, a smell of mildew, Yang Chao found a clean place to put his luggage and went out to buy cleaning tools. . . Yang Chao was busy for a whole afternoon, and the dormitory was finally cleaned, looking at the cleaned dormitory, Yang Chao couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart. At this time, the nasty voice came from behind him: "Oh yo... Young people clean up well, hard! Laborious! ”

Yang Chao turned his head, and sure enough, it was the man just now, standing behind him with a smile on his face at this time, with praise in his mouth, he glanced at Yang Chao and asked, "How much did it cost to buy things?" Brother will give it to you. ”

Yang Chaoyi waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't have much money." ”

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but smile as if he had taken a big advantage, and said, "Brother, how can this be done?" One yard to one yard! ”

Yang Chao snorted coldly in his heart, secretly thinking that this was a big deal, and he had already changed his name to the elder brother, this person was really hypocritical, but he still replied: "It's really not necessary, you're welcome, there will be a long time in the future... ”

When the man heard this, he no longer planned to take over this stubble, for fear that Yang Chao would change his mind, so he changed the conversation: "Brother is here to inform you that you have a meeting in the office building, and the captain will let all the new ones go." Yang Chao nodded, closed the door of the dormitory casually, and went to the office building with the man.

When the two arrived at the office building, the captain's office was already crowded with people, the captain's surname was Chen, he was also in his forties, he had been working in the team for more than ten years, he had been conscientious, and the superior leaders also trusted him, so the team's affairs were basically his own decision, and when he saw that the people were almost all together, he spoke with a strong foreign accent and said: "I came to you to assign a line to everyone, and I read the name to get the car key." After that, he opened the distribution table, read it one by one, and the new drivers stepped forward one by one to get the key and left, and in the end, Lao Chen's mouth read: "Yang Chao, 144 Road, come and get the key." ”

Yang Chao stepped forward to receive the key, Lao Chen looked at Yang Chao, and then emphasized to him: "The last train you ran on this trip is four o'clock, don't make a mistake!" It's going to go today! ”

Lao Chen's accent was very strong, and Yang Chao asked again uncertainly, then nodded and left the office with the key. When he returned to the dormitory building, the beds and cabinets purchased by the company had also arrived, and Yang Chao helped move the beds and cabinets into his dormitory.

When Yang Chao was cleaning the dormitory just now, he found that there was a large iron cabinet in his dormitory, and a large iron lock was hung on it. The iron cabinet and lock have long been rusty, it seems that it has been some years, Yang Chao tried to push the cabinet, the cabinet should be full of things, extremely heavy, Yang Chao simply no longer bothered with it, now the bed and cabinet moved in, the room seemed a little crowded, but Yang Chao pushed the cabinet again, or gave up, it should be loaded with documents and the like.

After everything was sorted out, the voice came again: "Oh, brother, you are really fast enough, it has been all put away in just a while, it seems that the old brother can't help much!" ”

Yang Chao glanced at him and did not answer.

As soon as he turned his head, he also saw the big iron cabinet, so his brows tightened, and he pushed it a few times, but the cabinet still didn't move, so he muttered: "This cabinet is really in the way, report it to the captain one day and carry him away!" ”

Yang Chao still didn't answer, and the man began to change the topic: "Brother, I heard the captain read that your name is Yang Chao just now, right?" My brother's name is Wu Bao, we will be brothers in a dormitory in the future, how old am I to you, just call Angkor! ”

After hearing this, Yang Chao turned around and replied coldly: "Okay, Wu... Elder brother! This time Yang Chao didn't stretch out his hand again, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed again, and he really didn't like the person in front of him, but there was no way, since he was in a dormitory, he could only do this first.

Angkor began to pack his luggage, and after a while, the two of them were busy, Angkor sat at the head of the bed, handed Yang Chao a cigarette, opened the chatterbox, and said slowly: "Brother Yang, are you driving a bus for the first time?" ”

Yang Chao responded: "No, it's been opened before." ”

Angkor hurriedly asked, "Then are you driving here?" ”

Yang Chao shook his head lightly and replied, "No, I used to open it in Guangzhou for a few years. ”

Angkor whispered to himself, "No wonder! ”

When Angkor said this, he raised Yang Chao's interest, and he hurriedly looked at Angkor and asked, "Angkor, what do you mean by this?" ”

Angkor looked at Yang Chao, took a deep puff of cigarette again, and asked, "Brother Yang, do you know where the No. 144 bus you were assigned just now is running?" ”

Although Yang Chao grew up in Yunzhou City, it is impossible for him to remember the route of every bus, and he has never heard of this 144 route, and when he heard Angkor ask this, he could only shake his head again.

Angkor saw Yang Chao shaking his head, so he said word by word: "The terminal of that car is Qing-Shan-Funeral-Funeral-Hall!" ”

Hearing Brother Ang say this, Yang Chao couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, and he subconsciously touched the string of black beads on his wrist. This string of beads was asked by a high monk in the temple before, and it was consecrated. When he used to drive the bus, he had heard a lot of legends in this regard, what must be honked before the morning bus, so that the "ghosts" who stayed on the bus got off; The last train carries people for one point and ghosts for nine points; The bus on the day of the middle of July was full of ghosts... And so on, people who often run on the road, it is inevitable to pay attention to some, so they put on this string of beads to resist the evil spirit on the road, and in a few years, in addition to the loss of business, there has been no strange thing. Besides, the "Qingshan Funeral Home" knows what place it is just by listening to the name, and there are always some supernatural and ghostly sayings, Yang Chao was a little unimpressed, so he said: "Angkor, that's nothing?" It's all work! ”

Angkor saw that Yang Chao had this attitude, so he slowly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand...
