Chapter 27 The mission begins
"Little ghost, what's the mission?"
"Go to Yangcheng by 12 o'clock tomorrow night and take the last train No. 4, and then go to the terminal......" I repeated softly.
Mu Lao said angrily: "Idiot! The old man asked what the type of task was! ”
"Huh?" I didn't know what to do, and I searched for the light in my mind, "Yes...... Phased tasks?"
"In that case...... Mu Lao said, "It's good for you, a newcomer." ”
I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart, the task was just to take a bus, wouldn't that be easy? I worried for a long time, and I was able to earn 10 trust points in no time. This is too much to take care of me as a newcomer.
I continued, "So what is a milestone?"
Mu Lao said: "There are many things you have to learn, I will only talk about it once, you can listen well." Milestones are made up of several small tasks, and if you complete all of them you can get a large reward, if you fail the task, you can only get a reward for the small tasks you complete. For new shifters, when the task is too difficult, you can choose to give up halfway and only earn money for small tasks. ”
I nodded slightly, I didn't expect it to be so complicated, and the task was divided into types...... Riding the bus should only be the first step in the mission, and there should be a reminder when the mission arrives.
I know a little about Yangcheng, it is located in the east of Muyang Village, close to Wangjiazhuang, but it is impossible for me to have transportation in this remote mountain village, it seems that ...... I had to ride my sweaty BMW – the broken bike passed.
However, Muyang Village and Yangcheng are fifteen miles apart, and it is estimated that they will not be able to arrive for a while, and they will really be tired enough tomorrow.
"Don't bother, you can get there in that taxi you humans have." Mu Lao said suddenly.
I clapped my palms, yes, it's a good way to get out of the village and take a taxi on the road!
However, as a teacher in a mountain village, I didn't come here for money at all, so I couldn't help but be a little shy in my pocket, and I saved 300 yuan after two years of work. How expensive is a taxi this far away......
"Little ghost, money is something outside the body." Mu Lao once again peeked into my heart, "What's more, every time I complete a task, Dawn will give material subsidies to the watchmen according to their living conditions." ”
It seems that Dawn is quite sympathetic to the people's feelings, so I can save a lot of trouble.
Turning his head to look out the window, it was pitch dark.
Morning, let's sleep a little longer, I yawned and lay down on the bed, and suddenly thought of a question: Why does Mu Lao help me? This question can also be extended to the question of why does the lamp spirit help the watchman?
Mu Lao "Idiot" all day long! Idiot!" called me, and it could be seen that he didn't like me very much, the new watchman. So this shouldn't be the so-called wishful thinking, right?
In order to force the light spirit to help the watchman complete the task, Dawn should have thought of some way to determine the interest relationship between the watchman and the lightlight, so as to restrain the lightlight......
I shook my head, this is not my concern at the moment, I slowly closed my eyes, and was just about to fall asleep, when the old fellow in the lantern suddenly exclaimed:
"Little ghost, don't put the glass cup on the table before going to bed, the sun will shine in tomorrow morning, the old man doesn't like the sun."
Alas, what a difficult old fellow......
"Oh......" Under Mu Lao's repeated pickiness, I had to carefully place the dark and damp corner of the wall.
After a peaceful night, I was woken up by a crisp rooster croaw. I woke up early and packed the essentials into my backpack along with the glass jar.
The sky was still bright, the air was humid, and the village was still quiet, so I walked out of Muyang Village on a rugged path with my backpack on my back.
The road became a little wider, but it was still a bumpy dirt road, and after all, the village was deep in the mountains and old forests, and I walked for nearly forty minutes east before I saw a concrete road with cars.
Along the way, Mu Laodao didn't say a word quietly, hasn't he woken up yet?
Waited on the side of the road for a while, waved his hand and called a yellow-green taxi.
"Master, go to Yangcheng." I poked my head in the window.
"Come on." Uncle Driver glanced at me.
The taxi sped down the road, and I was bored looking out the window.
The tall buildings in my field of vision gradually increased, the simple bungalows and telephone poles on the side of the road gradually disappeared, and the driver chatted with me from time to time.
In less than an hour, I was in Yangcheng.
The city can only be regarded as a general third-tier city, with more tricycles and bicycles on the roads, and the infrastructure is still somewhat backward.
I asked, "Master, do you know where the No. 4 bus stop is?"
"4-way? Huh......" said the uncle after a moment of silence, "I don't think I've heard of it." I've been running in the city center for two years, and I've never seen a number 4 bus. "From the rearview mirror, I saw my uncle looking confused.
"Isn't there a 4 bus here?!" I asked, surprised.
"Not necessarily, most of us Chinese just want to be auspicious. The number 4 is too unlucky, so some places do not set up 4 buses, and even if there are, there are very few. ”
I nodded slightly, I thought it was a simple task, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even find the number 4 bus......
"Otherwise, I'll take you to the bus terminal, where you can see if there's a number 4 bus. If you can't find it there, you really don't have it. The uncle said with concern
Going to the bus terminal? I don't know if this taxi driver wants to take this opportunity to make a lot of money, but at the moment it seems to be the only option, better than wandering around the city.
After a moment's silence, I said, "Okay, go to the bus terminal." "I'm bleeding from my wallet right now.
So, I sat in the taxi for about 30 minutes and finally arrived at the bus terminal.
In front of you is a neat row of stop signs, and behind it are dozens of blue and yellow buses ready to go.
After handing the taxi driver a red ticket, I followed the signs and searched for them one by one.
The first stop sign says 36 and 30, the second stop signs are 7 and 31, and then 10 and 8 go forward......
I wailed in my heart, there is no pattern at all in this sign!
I patiently took a closer look at the dozen or so road signs, and found that there are really no 4-way stop signs here! I checked the buses that stopped again, and none of them were No. 4 buses!
I stood by the street sign blankly, could it be...... Something went wrong with the mission given by Daybreak?!
"Mu senior, will the task go wrong......
Mu Lao's answer came from his ears: "It's impossible, the old man has served as a lamp spirit for more than a hundred years, and he has never seen a wrong task!" ”
But...... I really can't find the No. 4 bus.
At this time, an old man of sanitation workers appeared in the field of vision, cleaning the melon seed shells next to the stop sign.
The sanitation worker is the person who is most familiar with this place, so it is better to ask him.
"Old gentleman." I kindly asked, "Excuse me, where is the No. 4 bus?"
"No. 4 bus ......" the old man put down the broom, and his cloudy eyes looked me up and down through the gap in the gully, "What are you looking for No. 4 bus?"
Looks like he knows! I was overjoyed and said, "I don't do anything, I just have something to do, so I have to take the No. 4 bus." ”
The old man said: "There are not too many people going to the place where the No. 4 bus is going, and the road is not easy to walk, so the bus company has canceled the No. 4 bus two years ago, but some people are unwilling to make a lot of noise." So now there are only two buses a day. ”
Anyway, I finally found the No. 4 bus, and I continued to ask, "So when does the No. 4 bus depart?"
"When else can it be? Half past five in the morning and half past eleven in the evening. ”
"It's a strange time...... "I'm a little puzzled, how can there be a bus that leaves at night?"
"Because...... That's when people got on the bus. The old man's voice was suddenly low and strange.
"What do you mean by that?" I'm getting more and more confused.
"The No. 4 bus terminal is at Yangpo Cemetery, what do you think will be the "people" who will get on the bus at night! ”
When the old man had finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to me and continued to sweep his floor.
Terminus...... Cemetery?! The people who got on the bus were all ...... Ghosts? In the middle of the day, I broke out in a cold sweat.
The old man wasn't joking, I turned my head to ask him again, but I couldn't see him again.
Turning around and asking the aunt who set up a small stall nearby, she shook her head and said that she didn't know that there was a No. 4 bus.
Seemingly...... I can only trust the old man. I looked up at my watch, it was 10:40 a.m. and I had already missed the first bus 4.
So...... Only here to wait for the car at half past eleven o'clock in the evening......
