Chapter 14: Walking at Night

If it hadn't been for Rhubarb's warning not to be afraid, I would have screamed, and it was too terrifying, I couldn't feel someone on my shoulder, and I couldn't see it, but suddenly there was one more shadow

Could it be that this is a ghost?

I hurriedly lowered my voice and asked Rhubarb: Rhubarb, what's going on, there's a ghost squatting on my shoulder?

Rhubarb nodded and said: You just pretend not to know, don't look back, don't say more, just go your own way.

The old cat also hurriedly handed me the sandalwood and let me hold it in my hand.

Because Rhubarb was standing behind me, his flashlight was always able to show me a shadow, and I looked down as I walked, only to see that the shadow on my shoulder was always there, and the movements were basically the same, twisting and twisting very strangely

I held sandalwood in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and walked pretending to be calm, but the cold sweat on my back had already wet my clothes.

The road wasn't that far, but it seemed to me longer and more tiring than a marathon.

But it seemed that this sandalwood really worked, and after a while, I saw that the shadow on my shoulder began to twist violently, as if it was a little uncomfortable.

I was happy and asked Rhubarb: Rhubarb, look, is this ghost guy afraid of the sandalwood in my hand?

Rhubarb said: Well, the sandalwood has worked, Master's sandalwood is agarwood, which has the best effect on dealing with evil things, and it is estimated that it will not be able to bear it after a while.

I was relieved and began to smoke it with sandalwood, and after a few minutes of walking, the shadow gradually shrunk, and finally disappeared.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rhubarb, look, this shadow is gone."

Because I was so excited, I unconsciously turned my head to look at the rhubarb when I spoke, but as soon as I twisted it halfway, I suddenly saw a face behind me!

Because I was only half twisted, I saw only half of my face, which was a bloodless face, with eyes like bull's eyes, no eyebrows, and a nose turned up, very ugly, and the eyes were red!

I screamed in fright, and quickly sent the sandalwood in my hand, and then turned around, and Rhubarb hurriedly came over and grabbed me, and slapped me twice on the head.

I was already a little confused at the time, as if I was drunk, but when I was slapped by the rhubarb, my whole body immediately became refreshed. I sat down on my ass and gasped for air.

The old cat also walked over, his face was very serious, and said: Lin Yang, what's the matter with you, I told you not to look back, why are you disobedient?

I hurriedly said: I'm sorry, I forgot about it as soon as I was excited

The old cat sighed and said, "Have you forgotten that if it weren't for Rhubarb's timely action, you would have been ghosted by now?"

I quickly nodded and thanked Rhubarb: Thank you, thank you, it almost broke down. By the way, where is the face I saw just now?

Rhubarb sighed and said: That face is still behind your back, let's go quickly, get out of this mountain road, those things won't haunt us.

I quickly got up and walked quickly.

We kept on our feet, and finally got out of this narrow and gloomy mountain road to the nearest road.

The bus stop is not far away, we walked over and looked at the stop sign, there are very few buses in the evening, only one bus, it is the 920 bus.

In general, buses in the suburbs run every 15 minutes, and there should be fewer buses at night, about half an hour to an hour.

It was very cold in the mountains at night, and Rhubarb and I were so cold that we began to stomp our feet, only the old cat was still very calm, and always stood silently and pretended to be forced.

We waited for about 40 minutes before the 920 bus slowly drove over, and when we saw the bus, it was as if we had seen a savior, and we quickly got on.

There were only three people on the bus, who looked like agricultural workers, and they sat sporadically in the back of the bus, all asleep. The driver was an uncle in his forties, with a stubble, unkempt face and a cigarette in his mouth.

As soon as I got in the car, I felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little wrong, cold and cold, maybe it was because I had just hit a ghost, and now there are sequelae.

The three of us sat down in a front seat, and I asked Rhubarb in a low voice: Rhubarb, ghost stories often say that the night bus is haunted, do you think this car is also haunted?

Rhubarb looked at me with disdain and said, "Don't scare yourself, why the hell are so many ghosts, do you think the ghosts are raised by your family?" Where do you go?

When I heard this, my heart was a little more steady, but I didn't expect that before Rhubarb's voice fell, the old cat whispered: Rhubarb, you can't say it too early.

As soon as I heard this, my originally calm heart swelled again.

The old cat didn't say much, but silently pointed to the front mirror of the car with his chin.

We can vaguely see through the rearview mirror that there is a passenger in the back of the bus walking down the aisle, he is wearing a white shirt, but the white shirt is already a little dirty.

He behaved very strangely, just walking back and forth in the aisle, and he didn't go far, and after only three steps, he immediately turned around, walked back, took three more steps, turned around again, and went in the opposite direction.

I look a little strange, what the hell is this guy doing, wandering on the night bus at night, and the driver doesn't care.

However, the old cat's next sentence made my heart tremble, he said: Do you remember, how many people were in the car when we came up?

As soon as I heard this, I immediately recalled the scene when I got on the bus, because there were not many people on the 920 bus, so when I got on the bus, I could see it all, and there were three passengers on the bus, all sleeping in their seats.

I immediately said: Three people.

The old cat nodded and said, "Look in the rearview mirror again."

When I looked up, I gasped and saw that there were indeed three people sitting in the back of the bus, all three of whom were dressed as peasants and were sleeping soundly, but the person in the aisle who was walking back and forth in a white shirt was obviously the fourth person!

Since there were only three people on the bus, and no one else got on the bus except us, where did this guy in the white shirt come from?

My scalp began to go numb, and Rhubarb took out the peachwood sword from his backpack, and he asked the old cat in a low voice, "Master, should we kill him?"

The old cat shook his head and said: "More things are better than less things, I don't think he has any ill will towards us."

Rhubarb then held down the peachwood sword, and then pretended to be idle and looked out the window.

However, I didn't have the concentration of Rhubarb and the old cat, and my eyes were always on the rearview mirror in front of the bus.

The man in white in the rearview mirror was still walking back and forth inexplicably, but it seemed that he did have no malice, because he had three sleeping people next to him, and if he wanted to go on or take Yang Yuan, then he had three ready-made targets around him.

The car drove unfast on the mountain road, and it took half an hour to stop for three stops.

At the fourth stop, I suddenly saw the man in the white shirt walking from the back of the train, apparently trying to get off. Because I had caused trouble by turning back without permission, I didn't dare to look back at him, so I could only spy on his every move through the rearview mirror in front of the car.

I saw him walk forward slowly, but he kept his head down, so that I couldn't see his face clearly.

After a while, he was out of the rearview mirror, and it was supposed that he should have walked right next to me, but I only felt a dark wind coming, but I didn't see anyone around.

It's a big surprise! Could it be that this guy can only be seen in the mirror, but I can't see it with the naked eye?

No wonder I didn't see him when I got in the car just now, it turns out that this guy can't be seen with the naked eye!

But something even stranger happened, we shouldn't have been able to see the man, but the driver opened the door, as if he knew that the guy we couldn't see was going to get out of the car.

After a while, the driver closed the door and silently continued driving.

I couldn't hold back my curiosity, and immediately asked, "Master, how did you know that someone was going to get off the bus just now?"

The driver took a little cigarette, smiled, and looked back at me, I saw that he had a puff of smoky big yellow teeth, not like a ghost, nor quite like a master with yin and yang eyes.

He said: The one who got out of the car just now is not a human, it is a ghost.

I was stunned, I didn't expect such a frightening thing to be said lightly by the driver.

I asked him, "Master, can you see him?"

The driver took a puff of cigarette and said: I can't see it with my eyes, but I can see it in the mirror, there are so many mirrors and monitors in the car, just one of them can find him.

I couldn't help but admire the courage of the driver, and asked: Then you are not afraid of ghosts in your car? You'd be too bold.

The driver took another puff of cigarette and said with a smile: Scared? Do you know what I'm most afraid of? Tell you, I'm most afraid that the night bus driver has no money, and the salary is much higher than that of the day shift, and it's not because there are these ghosts on the night bus, what's so terrible about pulling a few ghosts on the bus for money?

Speaking of this, the driver paused and said: Actually, I was scared at first, but then I found out that these ghosts are quite honest, so I am not afraid, anyway, they are not the kind of ghosts that harm people.

As soon as I heard this, the driver seemed to know a lot of inside information, and quickly asked: What's wrong with driving the subway? Master, can you tell us about it?

The driver smiled, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Okay, then let's talk about it."
