What is the most joyful and sad thing about a city? The station, whether it is a train station or a bus station, how many joys and sorrows and clutches there are every day, waiting and farewell are staged in these places. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Late at night, the train that has been running for a day can finally rest, and the noisy and noisy waiting hall has become quiet, only a few staff members are patrolling around, and there are still some sparse travelers who have spent the night at the train station. An old couple snuggled up to each other, sat on a chair in the waiting hall and drank boiled water on the steamed buns, and the steamed buns were a little rancid after covering them for a few days, but the old couple still swallowed it stiffly, and went down with water without chewing more. The old couple looked like peasants buried in the fields all year round, their dark skin thought that they had been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, the old man's hair was gray, and his back was bent like a taut bow, and his wife, a wrinkled woman, wore a washed white acrylic shirt with flowers, which must be her best dress, because she went to the city, specially worn, her hair was also gray, and her hair was messy, she must have combed neatly when she went out, and after a long bump, it would become so messy. The carefully tied bun was also scattered. There were two large snakeskin bags next to them, and each of them was carrying a worn-out schoolbag, which must have been used by the child.

It was late, and the other travelers were asleep, and only the two were still muttering something to each other. Their faces were full of worry and apprehension, trepidation and unease. Who are they? Where did it come from? What are you doing in this city? What worries and worries do they have? Thousands of sons and daughters in the city, how sad would you feel if you dreamed back at midnight and saw your old father and mother curled up in a train station in a strange city? We often have infinite compassion for strangers, but we always ignore the person who loves us the most in the world. Where are our parents at this moment?

The next day, the weather was dry and hot, the outside temperature was said to be forty degrees, the sun was relentlessly and indifferently scorching the city, the heat wave was rolling, the passers-by walking outside were already sweating profusely, and the clothes of the outdoor workers had not dried for a moment, as if they had been fished out of the water. On the way, last night, the old couple who drank boiled water and steamed buns at the train station were anxiously asking passers-by for something, and passers-by waved their hands and shook their heads at them. The old man's legs and feet were not dexterous, and he limped, and walked with great difficulty, while the old woman's steps were neat and vigorous, but she was also thirsty and hot, exhausted, and sweaty.

Finally, someone told them, "If you want to find someone, go to the police, you can't ask the famous people, this city is too big, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's impossible." ”

It wasn't until the sun went down and the night rose that they groped their way to the police station, but the police seemed to be very busy and busy, and no one paid attention to them at all, and everyone buried themselves in their own business. "Hello, hello, comrade... I'm looking for our son.... Excuse me... Can you help us find it?" asked the old woman, hesitantly and anxiously.

Still no one paid attention to them, and the old couple opened their mouths and looked at each other: Could it be that the people in the city can't understand our dialect? Or are they not responsible for finding people?

The old couple sighed, sat at the door of the police station and were stunned, they had been running around for a day, and they were tired, so let's sit down and rest first. "Is there any more water, old woman?" The old man asked in a hoarse voice, "Yes, yes, let's drink the tap water from the public toilet just now," and the old woman handed the bottle of tap water to his wife. "Old man, are you still able to eat? Why don't we find a place with fewer people to sleep in today, and then find another tomorrow. ”

"Hey, where the hell do you think our son is?" The old man sighed, "After the last call we made a few months ago, there has been no more news... How did he... Our son has always been very filial, why..."

"Son, is it trouble," said the old woman, wiping her eyes, looking at the ground and whispering.

"Uncle and aunt" The old couple heard someone call them, and looked up to see a tall man looking at them.

"Uncle and aunt, let's go, follow me on the road." The tall man said.

"Are you going to find our sons, comrade? Do you know where our son is? The old couple said excitedly, and the old woman helped the old man to stand up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said happily to the tall man, "Hurry up, go quickly, comrade." ”

The tall man said strangely, "Looking for a son?" Your son is dead, too? ”

When the old couple heard that their son was dead, they were shocked and painful, and cried sadly, "What! Is our son dead? Really? Impossible? The baby called us two months ago..."

The tall man was startled, and hurriedly said, "No, no uncle and aunt, your son is not dead!" I don't even know your son! Don't cry, don't cry! ”

As soon as they heard this, the two of them stopped crying, wiped their tears and asked, "Our son is not dead, so what are you scaring us?" Comrade, you don't know my son, where are you taking us? ”

The tall man said in surprise, "Don't you know you're dead?" I'm a ghost in this area, and I'm taking you to the perineum beyond the underworld, uncle and aunt! ”

Uncle and aunt were stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This child, teasing us old couple, although we are illiterate, but not stupid, why did we die so well?" People in the city love to deceive people. ”

The tall man scratched his ears and touched his cheeks and said helplessly, "Uncle and aunt, you are really dead, when you two passed by the construction site at noon, you were given by the high-altitude falling object of the building... Hey, it's smashed! ”

The old couple still didn't believe it, "This... We don't have any money on us, don't expect to cheat us out of money, you see, this is the Public Security Bureau, if you lie to us again, we will tell the police."

"Hey, you guys often have this situation, you don't know you're dead when you die, and you still think you're alive and well." The tall man said, "Well, see if you have a shadow of yourself?" Ghosts don't have shadows, do they? ”

The old couple looked at the ground suspiciously, and sure enough, there was no shadow, the old woman ran into the police station to call someone, no one paid attention to her, she used her hands to catch people, but she couldn't catch anything, at this moment, a person ran straight towards her, she didn't have time to dodge, but she saw that the person actually penetrated directly through her body, the old woman was stunned, and looked back to see her wife also stunned to see all this...

The two finally believed what the tall man said, and the tall man looked at the frightened uncle and aunt, and his heart was not good, and said, "I'm a ghost and a quan." I'll take you to the underworld, it's okay, it's the same to be a human being and a ghost, people have a human world, ghosts have a mortal world, the same, the same, everything in the human world, we are not bad in the underworld. You may not be able to accept it for a while, but it will be fine after a while..."

"No, no," the old couple cried in despair, "why did we die before we found our son?" We are not afraid of death, we just want to see the last side of our son, Lord Ghost, you can do well, take us to see our son, we don't even know whether our son is dead or alive Wow, as long as we see our son alive and well, we will go with you immediately! We can go anywhere, even if we are sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, we are willing... Woo..."

Looking at the old couple who were crying, Ah Quan couldn't bear it, thought about it and said, "Okay." I'll take you to meet someone, and I'll ask him to help you find your son. ”

The old couple was grateful, and they didn't know what to do, and they wanted to kowtow to Ah Quan, but Ah Quan hurriedly pulled them up and said, "You guys are like this, I won't take you to find your son." The old couple stopped, wiped their tears and followed Ah Quan away.
