Chapter 2 Routes

Xia Beifeng had just gotten off the plane and hadn't had time to observe the scenery of the airport...... I met the beautiful stewardess who brought him a blanket on the plane, and I received a phone call.

The caller ID is a mess of garbled codes, and after answering it, you can only hear the sound of "stabbing and lala", which looks like a supernatural phone no matter how you look at it.

He held the phone and stood in the lobby of the airport, listening to the unknown electric sound on the other end of the phone for a while, only to feel that a layer of fine cold sweat quickly covered his body.

After the electric current rang for a while, there were a few more strange hums, and then it turned into a busy sound.

The humming voice sounded neither like a human nor an animal, and it seemed too ordinary to say that it looked like a ghost.

If you have to say, the sound is more like a weird sound made by some kind of sound synthesis software that is randomly combined.

After hanging up the phone, he hurried out of the airport hall, flagged down a taxi, and named the town on the map.

"Big brother driver, please, I have something urgent, the sooner the better." As he spoke, he took out two red and colorful hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into the driver's hand: "These are not enough, if they are not enough, I will add them, please be sure to hurry." ”

The driver glanced down at the money in his hand and smiled at Xia Beifeng very kindly.

"This gentleman." The driver politely said to Xia Beifeng: "The place you are going to is in the mountains, and it will take at least five hours to drive." But my car, not my own...... I'm on my shift in two hours, and I probably won't be able to get you straight there. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, took the cigarette handed over by Xia Beifeng, and continued: "Seeing that you are a real person, I won't hide it from you, the place you are going to will not be taken by ordinary taxis." If you're really in a hurry, give me three hundred, and I'll send you to the nearest bus station to that town, what do you think? Even if it is a bus station, it will take more than three hours, and it is really not much to charge you three hundred, if you don't believe it, you can ask others. ”

Xia Beifeng stared at the driver's face for a while, seeming to hesitate.

"Sir, listen to me, I won't lie to you." The taxi driver said and returned the two hundred yuan to Xia Beifeng, pointed to another taxi not far away and said: "That place is really difficult to walk, no one wants to go, it is too expensive, and a round trip is basically a whole day delay." Sir, you can go to other cars and ask, and you won't leave. If someone really tells you that you can go, they will also send you to the bus station, and then you will have to walk for more than half an hour on the mountain road, and it will be no different from me to send you, and you will be charged at least 150 yuan more, do you think it is worth it? ”

"Hmm......" Xia Beifeng squinted his eyes and looked the driver up and down, and after looking at the driver uncomfortable, he said slowly: "I believe you, three hundred yuan is three hundred yuan, let's go." But big brother, you have to tell me which car is going over there. ”

"Okay, no problem, sir, you can rest assured!" The driver of the rough car breathed a sigh of relief, shouted loudly, and started the car.

Xia Beifeng took out three hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to him.

"The money will be given to you first, please try to hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

"No problem, sir, you have a good look. My technique is not blown, I can run you for two and a half hours on a three-hour road, you just need to sleep in the back and you'll be there. ”

The taxi driver really didn't tell a lie, and after getting Xia Beifeng's three hundred yuan, the whole person was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Along the way, the car was almost able to fly, and I walked several remote paths, saving a lot of time, not to mention, and avoiding two toll booths.

What's even more terrifying is that he actually avoided all the cameras accurately, and he was never caught speeding the picture, and Xia Beifeng, who was sitting in the back, was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really professional!" ”

However, the pleasure of being in a taxi and enjoying the roller coaster lasted until he saw the dilapidated bus station.

"I said......" Xia Beifeng pointed to the building that had only half of the word "station" left on the signboard, and turned into a car stand, and asked the taxi driver in shock: "Is this the station?" Big brother, are you sure you ran wrong, why do I look like it's invalid? ”

"Nope!" The taxi driver laughed, pointed to the station that looked like it was in the 80s, and said, "This is it, just go in and buy a ticket." ”

"Hmm......" Xia Beifeng sat in the taxi and touched his chin: "Big brother driver, can I ask another question?"

The driver looked back confusedly.

"How long will it take to get to where I'm going?" He cautiously asked, "Can you get there before dark?" ”

"Before dark?" The driver of the rough car shouted in surprise, slowly turned his head to look at the dim sky, and then turned his head to look at Xia Beifeng at a slower speed, and said with a sympathetic face: "Sir, it's not me who poured cold water on you." You don't have to look at the straight line distance on the map, in fact, they are all mountain roads, and the car directly to the town from this point may be gone, so you can only take a bus of another route and get off halfway. However, there is no shop in front of the station and behind the village, and the rest of the way after getting off the bus has to walk, so you can find a place to live before midnight today. ”

Xia Beifeng was shocked by this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sir, if you think I look like a good person, listen to me." The taxi driver pointed to an old residential building next to the station and made a sincere suggestion: "There are a few small hotels over there, although the environment may not be good, but it is quite cheap." You'll stay here for the night, and then you can take the bus to that town tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I might have slept on the street tonight. Sir, you look at the conditions at home are also very good, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure that hardship! ”

"Oh, no, I'm really in a hurry, in a hurry." Xia Beifeng smiled at the taxi driver very politely and opened the door: "If I can't find a place to live after I arrive, I shouldn't have any problem sleeping on the street for a night." Big brother, go and hand over the shift, don't delay going home for dinner. ”

"Hey......" The driver of the rough car watched Xia Beifeng close the car door, and walked towards the dilapidated bus station like a martyr about to die bravely, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

It was as if he heard some familiar tragic music ringing in his ears.

"Sir!" He opened the car window, stuck out his head and shouted at Xia Beifeng: "That place is quite far away, and it will take several hours to take the car." You'd better buy something to eat with you in the car, otherwise you'll have to walk a mountain road when you get off the bus, and you won't be able to eat without eating! ”

"I see!" Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand as he walked and waved a few times towards the taxi behind him: "Thank you!" ”

The taxi driver's face seemed to be less worried when he heard this, but he still didn't just drive away, but parked the car in place, and after watching Xia Beifeng walk into the station gate, he lowered his head and whispered to himself: "Is he okay alone?" That's the place! ”

He shook his head, restarted the car, and turned back in the direction he had come.

"Alas!"

The taxi driver let out a sigh that was lost in the roar of the engine, and with his foot on the accelerator, it drifted off into the distance.

It wasn't until Xia Beifeng entered the station that he remembered that he hadn't asked the taxi driver which car he should take and which station he should get off at.

However, his worries disappeared when he saw the conductor waiting for the end of work with a yawn.

Because there is only one car left that is still on sale at this time, and it is the last train, and it is about to leave.

As for the station -

It wasn't until he got on the bus with few people that Xia Beifeng hadn't been able to recover from the shrill exclamation he heard when he bought the ticket.

"A woman with a loud voice is really terrible, is her husband's ears okay?"

Xia Beifeng rubbed his temples, listened to the "buzzing" noise in his head, and recalled that the originally sleepy conductor stood up suddenly, stared at him with round eyes, and asked him, "Where are you going?" I just felt that my mind was getting more and more chaotic.

What's wrong with that place! How can the expressions of the people who hear it be so weird.

"Actually, if you think about it, I'm not in a hurry, it's better to stay for one night and then go, so maybe I'll have to live in the mountains at night. Why do I have to work so hard for Ye Baiyu? He complained in a low voice, took out his mobile phone, lowered his head sincerely at a missed call on the mobile phone screen, and said very apologetically: "Master, I may not be able to go today, so please hold yourself up a little longer." Although you don't know whether you are dead or alive, if you are alive, I believe that with your ability, you can live tenaciously for at least a week, then I should have no problem later, if you are already dead......"

He deleted the call without answering, turned off the mobile phone screen, leaned his head on the hard seat back of the bus, looked at the stains on the roof of the car, and said very regretfully: "Anyway, they are all dead, and in the autumn, people don't rot so quickly, so it's okay for me to collect the body a day or two later." ”

From time to time, the driver in front of him looked back at the man who was sitting at the back as soon as he got into the car, and his eyes looked like he was looking at a madman.

As the scenery outside the car window flew by, the sky gradually darkened, and when the car window fell into complete darkness, the driver stopped peeking and concentrated on driving.

Xia Beifeng played with his mobile phone for a while when he first got in the car. When the light gradually dimmed and the car turned into a rough mountain road, he was too tired to put his phone down and began to observe the other people in the car.

In addition to Xia Beifeng, there were four other people in this car.

The two young girls at the front, one with long hair and the other with short hair, look like college students returning home for the holidays. From the moment they got in the car, the two of them got together with their mobile phones to discuss the price reduction of a certain brand of cosmetics, which color of lipstick looks good, and so on. Twitter was completely immersed in the small world of the two of them, and didn't care about the disgusting eyes of the other people in the car.

The "others" were a young man in his thirties with a pair of metal-rimmed eyes and a black computer bag in his arms. He was wearing a full suit, a white shirt without even a hint of wrinkles, and a dark blue tie hanging from the neckline. Just looking at his appearance, it is Sven's, but the undisguised disgust and arrogance that always appears in his eyes makes people look a little uncomfortable.

There was also a young man in his early twenties, wearing a black waistcoat tied around his waist, a pair of camouflage trousers, a string of tinkling metal ornaments around his neck, and a golden yellow hair.

As soon as the young man got into the car, he put on his hat on his head, put on his headphones and began to fall asleep, as if he could not hear the laughter of the girl who was only two seats away from him.

When the discussion between the two girls shifted from cosmetics to bags to the latest popular new autumn clothes, and finally stopped at the gossip about a new little fresh meat that both parties liked, the man who had been patient with the two of them finally broke out.

"I said those two little girls, do you know that there are other people in this car, so that it will disturb the other passengers?" The man stood up as he spoke, took a few steps forward, stood beside the two girls, and looked at the two of them condescendingly with his arms crossed: "And ah, you young girls can't read more books, improve your own literacy, and know how to spend money on research all day long, which man is good-looking, what's the use of this kind of thing!" Are you worthy of your parents earning money for you to go to school? ”

The long-haired girl sitting inside looked very introverted and timid, and after hearing the sudden accusation of the strange man, she seemed to be frightened, and cautiously shrank in the direction of the car window, and apologized to the man in a low voice: "This gentleman, I'm really sorry for making you noisy." ”

The short-haired girl glanced back at her companion, reached out and touched her hair soothingly, then turned her head and shouted at the man: "We talk to you and you just say it, we will definitely pay attention when we chat in the future, what kind of ability is it to come and scare people directly." ”

The long-haired girl raised her hand and pulled the sleeve of the short-haired girl's shirt and whispered to her, "Ning Ning." Forget it. ”

Then he smiled apologetically at the man standing aside: "This gentleman is really sorry, my friend has a straight temper, don't you mind!" ”

The girl named Ning Ning pulled her sleeve out of the long-haired girl's hand, looked back at her companion who seemed to be about to cry, and snorted coldly in an uncertain sense.

"Oh, today's men, everyone thinks they are something, they have to take care of everything in other people's families, we don't care about your parents! You are so wide, why don't you become a policeman! As she spoke, she looked at the man next to her from the corner of her eye, and suddenly said, "Oh." I know, your body is too weak, and people don't want you! ”

The young man, who had been sleeping with his hat on since he got into the car, seemed to be awakened by these words, he took off the hat he had buttoned on his face, and took off the earphones on one ear, and looked at the three people standing in front of him with great interest, with a little playful smile on his face.

"Ning Ning, don't say it!" The long-haired girl tugged at Ning Ning's sleeve again, the corners of her eyes were a little red, and she said anxiously, "Don't always quarrel with people, okay?" ”

"Okay." Ning Ning smiled happily, turned his head to look at his companions, and said softly: "Listen to you, ignore them, don't cry!" ”

The long-haired girl seemed relieved to hear this, she stroked her chest twice, and looked up at the man with an apologetic smile.

"I'm so sorry, sir. Go back, don't worry, the two of us will definitely be careful not to quarrel with you. ”

When the man heard this, instead of going back, he looked even more angry.

"What's wrong with the little girls now, they are all so wild, their mouths are still so dirty, and I don't know if anyone wants them in the future. Just offend people so casually, be careful when you walk on the road one day......"

"What's wrong with walking on the road one day!" Ning Ning also stood up, craned her neck and shouted at the man: "Is there anyone who wants to marry such a disgusting man as you!" What offended people, obviously you came to find fault first, and we all apologized, what do you want! ”

"If the apology is useful, what do you want the police to do!" The man sneered, pointed to Ning Ning's forehead and said, "A girl like you, hum!" ”

He snorted, he didn't know what it meant, relying on himself to be a head taller than the petite Ning Ning, just standing beside the two girls, looking at them with a kind of overlooking eyes, and did not hide his contempt for their "lack of quality".

Ning Ning stared at him with her neck stalked, judging from her momentum, it seemed that she had not fallen into the wind, but the tears in her eyes were not fake.

"Hey! I said this gentleman! The young man sitting in the back lazily raised a hand, which attracted the attention of the three people: "I think these two little sisters speak in a very nice voice, not noisy at all, but you ......"

The young man lay down in his seat, shook his head regretfully, and sighed.

"Alas!"

"What's wrong with me?" The man turned his gaze to the young man and asked with some surprise.

"Mr. Duckling, I think your voice! It is very good in terms of noise. ”

Xia Beifeng's serious voice came from the last row of the bus to the front.

It's just that the content of what he said is really ...... No matter how you think about it, it makes people feel that they are very underwhelmed.

"Poof!" The long-haired girl looked at the face of the man in front of her who turned blue in an instant, and endured it for a while, but finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

The young man turned his head in surprise, looked at Xia Beifeng, who was sitting in the shadow of the last row, and whistled.

"Dude in the back, it's interesting to talk!" He waved his hand at Xia Beifeng: "Do you want to come over and talk, make friends or something......

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the front row, looked at Ning Ning, who was standing on the edge of the seat with a confused face, and said meaningfully: "With these two little beauties." ”
