Chapter 1: Misfortune
Meng Jia is an ordinary girl, with no illustrious background, no outstanding experience, no special abilities, and no amazing beauty. Graduated from an ordinary university, worked in an ordinary company, and was unremarkable.
The life of 9 to 5 in the morning is regular and boring. She also sometimes thinks about the meaning of life, and thinking too much will make her annoyed, so it is better to think about what to eat tonight.
In this small third- and fourth-tier city, girls choose to work close to home, not for high salaries, but for stability and to live with their parents. Meng Jia is no exception, although it is good to live with her parents, it is inevitable that there will be some small frictions, and the biggest problem is that her age has reached the standard of leftover girls, and her parents are also anxious, and they arrange blind dates at two ends in three days. Meng Jia has the character of a good girl, she doesn't resist, and she will go when she arranges it.
The first few blind dates failed, and the parents inquired about a young man of school age.
In fact, it can be regarded as Meng Jia's classmate, the class next door to the primary school, named Wang Wei, who works in a public institution, has a stable job, and his conduct is said to be good.
Meng Jia's parents liked this guy very much, so they arranged for Meng Jia to meet this Saturday and have a good chat. Meng Jia naturally agreed, although she wanted to catch up on a few episodes of TV series at home on Saturday, it was not bad to go out for a walk.
In the blink of an eye, Saturday came, and after lunch, her mother asked Meng Jia to prepare and dress up. Meng Jia's mother would go to the community senior activity center to play mahjong every afternoon, rain or shine.
Meng Jia knew what her mother meant, so she hurriedly went into the room to change clothes, put on light makeup, packed up, and went out with her mother.
When she arrived at the door of the activity center, her mother told her: "After you go, talk to people well, don't sit stupidly all the time." ”
Meng Jia hummed and answered. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he met the neighbor downstairs, Meng Jia smiled and shouted Aunt Zhang, which was regarded as a hello.
Aunt Zhang also said happily: "Xiaojia, you are so beautiful today, are you going out on a date?" ”
Meng Jia smiled and didn't answer, and her mother quickly took over the conversation, "It's just going on a blind date, and I didn't look at each other before." “
Aunt Zhang said: "This blind date is quite troublesome. Oh yes, the street lights outside the door of the community are broken, it's dark, my girl came back from outside last night, and she was scared, when to call to reflect. ”
Mother Meng took Aunt Zhang's hand, "We don't have to worry about this, hurry up and go in and play a few games, my luck is not very good these days,"
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and said to Meng Jia, "If you don't hurry up, it's not good to make people wait." After speaking, he pulled Aunt Zhang and went in. Meng Jia sighed to herself and walked out.
The location was set in a café, Meng Jia and Wang Wei sat face to face, Wang Wei looked at her and said, "You have changed a lot over the years, I remember when you were a child, you were black and thin, and you didn't like to talk." ”
Meng Jia smiled lightly, "Aren't I still like this now, I remember that you liked Hu Mei a lot when you were a child." ”
Wang Wei said with a smile: "Hu Mei is married, at that time she was a class flower, how many young people near and far liked it, but it is said that she was disabled later, which is a pity." After saying that, he shook his head, as if he was really sorry.
Meng Jia knew that he was a face-looking person: "What, let's have a meal in the evening and turn back." ”
He replied nonchalantly, "Yes, I don't care, it's boring anyway." ”
In the back, there are people chatting with each other, each playing with their mobile phones. Meng Jia felt that the time was too long, and there was no new thing on the homepage of Weibo. She looked at the street outside, pedestrians were walking in a hurry or idlely, the sun was shining brightly or darkly at half past four in the afternoon, Meng Jia was about to start emptying,
A low battery alert came from her phone, pulling her thoughts back. "Hey, my phone is running out of battery, let's go find a place to have dinner." Meng Jia said to Wang Wei.
Wang Wei was playing a mobile game, and said without thinking: "Okay, wait until I'm done with this game." ”
Meng Jia nodded, whether he saw it or not. Let's swipe Weibo again, Meng Jia thought to herself, no, I'll call my mother and say.
So Meng Jia went out to call to report the situation, and Meng's mother heard that they were eating together in the evening, of course she happily agreed, and did not tell Meng Jia to behave well. Meng Jia smiled bitterly, mumbled, and hung up.
The weather was too hot, and Meng Jia didn't want to eat hot pot or anything. In addition, she was wearing a monochrome dress today, and she was afraid of splashing oil stains when eating hot pot, so she chose to eat sushi.
After eating, it was past eight o'clock, Wang Wei said to her: "My brother told me to go to barbecue, and I won't send you." “
Of course, Meng Jia would not object, Wang Wei saw that she acquiesced, and said: "I'll contact you in the future, it's an old classmate anyway." ”
Meng Jia also smiled and nodded, and Wang Wei continued: "Then I'll go first, pay attention to safety when you go back, and send me a text message when you get home." “
Meng Jia smiled and said, "Okay, bye-bye." "Bye-bye."
After Wang Wei finished speaking, he went out to take a taxi and left. Meng Jia walked towards the bus stop on the side, she also wanted to take a taxi home, but she felt that it was safe to take the bus, and it was still early.
On the bus, she sat quietly, her phone was turned off when she was out of power, and she couldn't listen to songs, just looking at the neon lights flashing outside the window, and she had a lot of thoughts.
Time always flies quickly when she is in a daze, and after getting out of the car, Meng Jia still has ten minutes to walk home.
After the bus drove away, Meng Jia suddenly found that it was dark and dark around her. recalled what Aunt Zhang said in the afternoon, this street lamp was broken, and there was only one street lamp at a good distance, and it was all broken at once.
Meng Jia also chuckled in her heart, so she turned on her mobile phone and tried to turn on the flashlight with the last bit of electricity and walked home. After walking for a few minutes, she heard footsteps behind her, and she didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was also from the community, but she didn't expect that suddenly that person covered Meng Jia's mouth from behind and dragged her into the grass.
Meng Jia panicked and struggled hard, but the other party was tall and big, and it had no effect at all. She was dragged behind the bushes, and the man whispered in her ear, "Give me the money." ”
Meng Jia hurriedly opened his bag, took out the cash and handed it to him. When the man saw that it was only a few hundred yuan, he became anxious: "Damn, you use this money to fool me, hurry up and take it out." ”
Meng Jia's mouth was covered, and she could only make a whining sound, she was also panicked, and hurriedly handed over the bank card. The man took it and said to her, "Let go of my hand now, you tell me the password, and if you dare to scream, I will kill you." Meng Jia nodded hurriedly, he really let go of his hand, Meng Jia gasped, and said the password with a trembling voice.
The man turned on his phone and wrote down the password.
Through the light of the mobile phone, Meng Jia could see the person's appearance clearly, with a flat head, a pair of slanted eyes, thick lips, a mole at the end of the left eyebrow, and black clothes. Meng Jia silently wrote it down in her heart and prepared to call the police afterwards. The man memorized the code and said, "You are interesting, and you don't shout or shout." ”
As he spoke, he squatted up, looked out of the grass, and walked out. Meng Jia was still sitting on the ground, not daring to move, and was listening carefully to the man's voice. He was heard walking to the sidewalk and walking a little way back, and the sound faded away.
Meng Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk out of the grass to pick up the mobile phone that had fallen on the ground, when the man suddenly ran back, pushed down Meng Jia, sat on her, covered her mouth, pinched her neck, and said: "You must call the police, I am also cornered, don't come to me if you die." ”
Meng Jia's eyes widened, and she desperately wanted to make a sound in her throat, and she tried her best to pull her neck with both hands, and kicked her feet wildly, but to no avail. After a few minutes, the man let go of his hand and everything went to zero.
He moved Meng Jia deep into the grass, patted the dirt on his body, and fled quickly.
