7. Ordinary sheets
The mornings in Chengdu are very gloomy, especially in this foggy weather, which is cold and damp, and the whole person does not want to stay outside.
However, in the morning in Chengdu, no matter what kind of environment, you can't just stay up in the bed at home, you are not a multimillionaire, you have to get up and go to work, this is what you should do, because you have to make money to make ends meet.
Xiao Zhang is not a multimillionaire, he is just an ordinary programmer, he works in an ordinary software company, the salary is not bad, with an income of 8,000 a month, but the cannibal mortgage also makes him very poor, and this is how he persuaded himself to get up.
Xiao Zhang lifted the quilt, the cold wind was biting, he hurriedly put on his clothes, in order to resist some cold, he looked at the time, it is only half past seven, and there is still an hour and a half to go to work, the time seems to be very sufficient, but in fact, people who have lived in Chengdu know that this time is not enough at all.
A man washes for about fifteen minutes, a woman takes longer, then another ten minutes or so for breakfast, and then there is only about an hour left for the commute to work.
An hour of time is spent on going to work, which seems to be enough, which is definitely enough for people who live close, and it only takes ten minutes to go to work for a walk, but for Xiao Zhang, who lives in the east of the city and wants to go to work in the "Tianfu New District" in the south of the city, walking is definitely inappropriate.
In Chengdu, many people have cars, Xiao Zhang just bought a house, there is little savings left, there is no spare money to buy a car, but even if Xiao Zhang has a car, he will not choose to drive, during work to drive, there is only one possibility, that is, blocked on the road.
The most convenient way to get to work is the bus and subway, the bus has a bus lane, and private cars are prohibited from appearing in the bus lane, so the bus can reduce congestion, let alone the subway.
Should Zhang choose the bus or the subway? The answer is both, there is no subway downstairs in his house, so he has to take the bus first, and then transfer to the subway, in short, it is very troublesome, and he has to be in a hurry for an hour to ensure that he is not late, and once he is late, half a day's salary will be lost.
Some people may ask, since the work is in the south of the city, why not buy a house in the south of the city, so that you can get closer to work and not have to be in such a hurry every day.
The person who can ask this kind of question is definitely not from Chengdu, and the real Chengdu people know the reason, the reason is that the houses in the south of the city are sky-high, and a small clerk like Xiao Zhang, who is 8,000 a month, can't afford it at all.
Not to mention the house in the south of the city, the house price in Chengdu has doubled this year, if it weren't for Xiao Zhang's painful determination to buy a house last year, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to afford to live in the house in the east of the city.
It's far away from where I go to work, and Xiao Zhang has to grit his teeth to support it, it's good to have a house.
In order to save time, as soon as the clothes are put on, he has no time to sort out his thoughts, let alone remember the goddess he dreamed of last night, he has to hurry up and wash, the original fifteen-minute washing time, he must be shortened to ten minutes, he doesn't want to pinch the time to go to work, otherwise it is easy to be late, you must know that being late for one minute is also late, he must let himself have more free time to come out.
Xiao Zhang is very skilled in washing his face and brushing his teeth, and he doesn't even have time to wash his hair, so he wears a black down jacket, gold-rimmed glasses, and a head of greasy hair when he goes out.
Xiao Zhang has an extremely optimized route to work, which is the fastest way for him to get to the company, and the speed is definitely the fastest, but it is a little troublesome, he has to change the car twice.
First of all, Xiao Zhang has to take the bus to "Shuangqiaozi", then take the "Shuangqiaozi" rapid bus to the "Rennan Interchange", and then transfer to the subway to Century City.
Xiao Zhang goes to work on this route every day, but what about breakfast? It depends on how long Zhang will spend on the road.
If Zhang arrives early, then he will have time for breakfast, and if Zhang arrives late, then he will not have time for breakfast.
Xiao Zhang's first bus came quickly, which saved him a lot of time, and Xiao Zhang's breakfast time was freed up a little.
Xiao Zhang was very happy, he arrived at the "Shuangqiaozi" five minutes earlier than expected, but when he walked into the "Shuangqiaozi" platform on the second ring elevated road, he was not happy again, there were too many people queuing up to get on the bus today, and they were almost lined up outside the station.
This situation is rare, although Xiao Zhang will line up every day, but it will not be like this, although it is rare, but Xiao Zhang has not seen it, Xiao Zhang estimated that he would have to waste five more minutes here, in this case, his breakfast time is a little tighter.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhang's estimation was almost not wrong, and the error was only a few seconds, and Xiao Zhang finally squeezed into the bus.
Although I got on the bus, Xiao Zhang was not comfortable, there were too many people on the bus, basically shoulder to shoulder, butt to butt, hands could not move, a little carelessness would hit others, hit the man is fine, hit the woman, on the image of Xiao Zhang, it is easy to be regarded as a lewd pervert.
After Xiao Zhang got into the car, he was very honest, his whole body would not twist at will, and his hands would not move, so he stood in a daze.
Although Xiao Zhang's body is very honest, his eyes are not honest, he has to stay on the bus for a long time, he has to find something to do for himself.
Xiao Zhang's eyes usually search for the beauties on the bus, you must know that the buses during this time period are all office workers, and Chengdu is a famous place for beautiful women, in such an environment, there will definitely be one or two beauties on the bus who can enter Xiao Zhang's eyes.
There are indeed one or two beauties on today's bus as usual, but these two beauties did not enter Xiao Zhang's eyes, and Xiao Zhang's eyes were attracted by a man today.
Is there anything special about this man? It's even more attractive than a beautiful woman.
Yes, this man is special, he is not special in a black coat, he is special with a pair of sunglasses on his long face.
No one wears a pair of sunglasses early in the morning, and if someone wears them, then this person is a special person, so Xiao Zhang will be attracted.
Xiao Zhang's eyes never left the sunglasses man's body, he noticed from the crack that the sunglasses man was still holding a black leather bag in his hand, the bus didn't start for long, he saw the bag slip from the sunglasses man's hand, the sunglasses man didn't pick it up, and he didn't even lower his head, as if there was nothing for him on the ground.
Xiao Zhang wanted to kindly remind him, but the distance was too far, and he was afraid that he would shout and others would not be able to hear him, and then something strange would happen to Xiao Zhang again.
Two minutes later, the bus came to the next stop, the man in sunglasses actually got off the bus, the man in sunglasses only sat for one stop and got off, he even forgot that his bag was still on the ground, Xiao Zhang wanted to help him pick it up, and then called the man in sunglasses, but he just took a step and was pushed back by the flow of people, at this time there happened to be a large group of people on the bus, and he would not give Xiao Zhang the opportunity to change places on the bus at all.
I saw that Xiao Zhang was getting farther and farther away from the purse, and the purse was obviously at the feet of a group of people, but no one noticed that everyone was busy with their own affairs.
Xiao Zhang couldn't pick up the purse, and he couldn't call back a person who had gotten out of the car, his conscience was a little uneasy, but he told himself at this time, don't be nosy, the most important thing is to go to work, if he is nosy, even if he picks up the bag, and even if he finds the man with sunglasses, it will waste his time at work, and who will make up for the loss of his tardiness?
Thinking of this, his conscience changed from uneasy to reassured, after all, many urban men and women have to be selfish, it's not that they want to be so selfish, it's that society forces them to be like this, otherwise they will be easily eliminated by the big city.
Xiao Zhang didn't want to be eliminated, so he was finally sharpened, so in order to divert his attention, he put his eyes on the beauty again, when he saw the graceful beauty, he felt that this was what he should be in charge of, and he remembered the spring dream last night.
Thinking and looking, his eyes saw the leather bag through the human slit again, and the leather bag seemed to be deeply imprinted in front of his eyes, and he couldn't let his eyes avoid it.
Not only that, in addition to feeling that he was hallucinating and always seeing the leather bag, Xiao Zhang also felt that he was hallucinating.
A ticking sound was heard in the noisy sound of Xiao Zhang's bus, and what was even stranger was that the ticking sound seemed to be coming from the leather bag.
A touch of black, brainwashing-like ticking made Xiao Zhang's bus ride feel like he had seen a ghost, which made him uneasy.
Just when he was uneasy, he actually arrived at the station, and the bus actually arrived at the "Rennan Interchange".
He was finally able to leave the strange black purse, and just as he was about to get out of the car, the ticking sound also stopped, and the sound stopped, as if his life had stopped.
No, it's not like, it's that his life really stopped, Xiao Zhang, an ordinary programmer, not many people in Chengdu know him, and just this morning, Xiao Zhang made today's headlines.
It should be said that the bus that Xiao Zhang was riding made headlines, and Xiao Zhang was just an adjunct to the headlines, his name was omitted, and he was only included in the "many".
Today's headline was written by Wu Yue, a well-known journalist in Chengdu, whose news headline was "Chengdu Explosion", and the first sentence of the content read: "A sudden explosion occurred at the South Interchange bus station at 8:10 this morning, many people were killed and countless people were injured. ”
