Chapter 2 Entering the Toll Gate

In this way, bad luck followed me as always, until one night after I officially joined the work, I had a bizarre dream, and since then the trajectory of my life has completely changed!

After graduating from junior college, I also looked for jobs everywhere, but I couldn't do it for long, either I was fired by my boss for some reason, or something happened inexplicably that made my boss have to fire me. It wasn't until later that I went to work at the toll booth.

"Welcome to the Kyushu Expressway!" The interviewer said to me with a smile on his face.

You may wonder why a decaying ** silk counterattacked so quickly? The high-speed interviewer was even welcoming me with a smile on his face! Yes, the interviewer was smiling, but he wasn't smiling at me, he was smiling at money. Because I was able to enter the highway because my parents took care of it.

Maybe they really can't stand it, their son who graduated from college has never been able to find a job, and has nothing to do at home all day, so he began to climb relationships everywhere, and finally found a distant cousin to introduce me to the high-speed toll station, and they also put all the savings they have saved hard for several years, but fortunately, I finally came in and had a stable job. Otherwise, if I want to rely on my own ability to get in, it is basically equivalent to buying a two-yuan lottery ticket and winning the probability of five million, which is absolutely impossible, not to mention that I am still an unlucky person who has been unlucky since I was a child.

Maybe you think, alas, it's not bad to enter the highway, it's a better unit, and you can live a peaceful life now, but you are only one of them, and you don't know the other.

First of all, before I entered the highway, it was rumored that the highway was a profiteering industry, and the toll collectors paid all five insurances and one housing fund, and the monthly salary was five or six thousand! But in fact, it is the norm to force toll collectors to earn two or three thousand yuan a month, and what profiteering industry has nothing to do with us, to be honest, this feels like being deceived; Secondly, working in four shifts at the toll station is to work at night, and it is indispensable to stay up and keep vigil. Imagine, in a remote toll booth alone in the toll booth looking at the long dark night around you, want to sleep but can't sleep, that feeling is absolutely only after you experience the sourness, and all this is an invisible torture for me, who was born with yin and yang eyes.

Friends who often run the highway should know very well that many toll booths on the highway are located in remote places, and I, yes, I was assigned to a remote small station Creek Mining Station. The location of the Xikuang Station is remote and the population is small, but there are a few small iron mines and coal mines on the mountainside a little far from the station, and it takes about ten minutes to walk from the station to Xikuang Township.

It is said that Xikuang Township is actually two short streets, scattered on both sides of the street with small food shops, small restaurants and barber shops, and the only thing that makes me happy is that I found an Internet café on the side of such a remote street, of course, a black Internet café. But at the same time, I was disappointed that it could be called an Internet café?! At best, it's a few broken second-hand desktop computers, barely able to go online to watch the news, chat about QQ and play some small games, you want to play large games, I'm sorry, please play a stand-alone machine, just because the large online game machine can't be loaded, it will be down and off the network, I'll go!

And what makes me even worse is yet to come. According to the company's regulations, because the Ximine Station is more than 100 kilometers away from the Huazhou Management Office of Huazhou City, where my home is located, so the company's transportation vehicle responsible for picking up and commuting to work will not take me back to Huazhou, but instead the Panyin Management Office traffic car near the Ximine Station will pick us up and drop us off to Panyin County, and the company is not responsible for arranging sub-housing, which means that I have to rent a house. Du Hong, who is also a new friend who came to work at the station, after we discussed it, we unanimously decided to rent it on the second floor of a non-staple food store in Xikuang Township.

There are roughly three reasons: first, it is cheap, and we only rent 100 yuan per person per month; The second is convenience, after all, downstairs is the snack library, which can be taken at any time; At noon that day, the landlord invited us to eat wild boar meat and roe deer meat that he shot from the mountain.

That night, when Du Hong and I finished dinner and were about to go back to the house to sleep, we saw the landlord and boss stop us with a serious face, "Since you two have been living with me since today, I think it is necessary to warn you about something: you guys, don't go out after 12 o'clock in the evening, even if you hear an unusual noise outside the house in the middle of the night, don't go out to see, in short, it's best to stay in your own room and sleep honestly at night." ”

After listening to the landlord's words, Du Hong and I couldn't help but look at each other and smiled helplessly, because it is absolutely indispensable to stay up late and work night shifts in our industry, and you told us not to go out after twelve o'clock at night, which is simply impossible for us.

The landlord smiled when he saw us jokingly with each other, thinking that we didn't take this matter seriously and took it to heart, and he deliberately re-instructed: "Young man, I'm not joking with you, our place is in a different location, and I'm afraid that you will encounter some unclean things!" ”

"Yes, got it."

We said yes and prepared to go upstairs.

At this time, the landlord stopped us again, "By the way, my surname is Yang, you can call me Uncle Yang in the future, and remember what I said, don't go out after twelve o'clock at night!" With that, the landlord went back to the house.

"This Uncle Yang is really funny, and he said that there are unclean things, which means that this place is haunted, I think my Hong Ye has lived for more than 20 years since he was a child, and he hasn't seen half a ghost, it's so fresh!" Du Hong grumbled as he went upstairs.

But I thought of Uncle Yang's last serious and righteous look, I couldn't help but feel nervous for a while, I felt that Uncle Yang didn't bluff us, in this place where people are not familiar with the land, everything is still careful.

Du Hong and I rented on the second floor, the second floor is a suite, we had a brief look at the surroundings upstairs, the kitchen, the bathroom and everything, but it seemed that they had not been used for a long time, and everywhere was covered with a thick layer of dust. Du Hong and I have a single room, he is next door to me, I am outside and he is inside, because we are taking a car that day, looking for a house, and moving to clean up the room or something, so we are very tired at the end of the day, so we all go back to each room early that night to sleep.

"Quack, quack...", like the sound of rats gnawing bones woke me up from a shallow sleep, I turned on my phone to look at the time, the time of the mobile phone was displayed as past one o'clock in the morning, remembering what Uncle Yang warned me yesterday, I only felt that I was instantly hit by an inexplicable fear all over my body.

And the strange sound of rattling is coming into my ears endlessly at this moment, although the sound is soft, but in this silent night it seems so clear and real, my heart began to throb violently, I dare not continue to stay in the room alone, I carefully picked up the mobile phone and dialed Du Hong's number,

"Toot toot... Shut down! ”

I went, but the phone turned off, and my mind went blank for a moment, but my body was desperate to get out of here.

No, I have to go to Duhon's for one night, even if I am asked to lay on the floor in the winter, I am willing!

But the funny thing is that although I am desperate to get out of here, I dare not open my door because I am afraid, I am afraid that something is squatting outside my door at this time, just waiting for me to open the door and rush in and kill me.

So I spent the night in agony and panic.

The next day, when the rooster had just started to crow, and when it was just dawn, there was no more bone-eating sound outside. At this time, as if I had been injected with chicken blood, I jumped out of bed and knocked on the door of Du Hong next door in a panic.

"Brother Hong, Brother Hong open the door, open the door quickly!" I yelled impatiently and banged on the door quickly.

"What the hell? What are you yelling outside early in the morning, do you want anyone to sleep! I only heard Du Hong's extremely lazy voice from the door.

"You open the door first and let me in, hurry up!" I continued to urge.

"Coming, coming, panicked, I don't know what you're doing?" Du Hong responded a little impatiently, and listened to the sound of "squeak" The wooden door was opened a crack, I looked through the crack, only to see Du Hong at this time and burrowed back to the quilt, at this time I didn't have time to think about anything, just squeezed into the house with the same neatness, and casually put the door into the room with a "bang", and the door was closed tightly.

"Are you alright? Why did you panic early in the morning! Du Hong spoke first.

"Why did you turn off your phone last night? Also, did you hear anything unusual last night? It's like the sound of rats gnawing bones, it rang all night, and Tainyima infiltrated people! I said.

"Is there such a thing? I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep as soon as I got out of bed, and I didn't hear any noise! Du Hong said thoughtfully, and then Du Hong smiled again: "You weren't frightened by Uncle Yang's bluff yesterday!" Ha ha. ”

"Go, how can I be afraid of those things that are gone?" I tried my best to hide my uneasiness, for fear that the boy would laugh at me for being cowardly.

"It's best if that's not like that, you see it's not very bright this day, you can also take advantage of this time to go back to the house and lie down for a while, you have to go to the station at half past eight in the morning to officially report to work." With that, the boy yawned and feigned pushing me out of the door.
