The police took me to a conductor's lounge and said to me, "You can stay here for a while, don't worry, we won't wrong a good person, and we won't let a bad person go." I wondered if it didn't taste right, and I opened the door and saw that the person who had stolen the railroad tracks was inside. I silently walked over and sat down next to him.

After the door was closed, there were two clicks of keys, as if it were locked. It seems that my identity as a suspect has been settled.

After a moment of silence, the rail killer next to him cautiously asked, "Big brother, why did you come in too?" ”

"To record a confession with you later." I ignored him and simply leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes.

He didn't mean to shut up, and said to himself: "You also blame the big brother, I remember that I put the bag quite inside!" Even if the car is a little bumpy, how can something heavy move out? ”

I didn't say anything, and pretended to be asleep, but I felt strange in my heart. I stood at the junction of the carriages for only about ten minutes, and I didn't hear any footsteps, doors opening and closing, etc., how did the ceiling become like that?

After tossing for half a day, the outside has begun to be cloudy, and the itinerary has already passed halfway, and I don't bother to think about what will happen next, so I just take the opportunity to take a nap.

I was sleeping soundly when someone opened the door and yelled at me: "Tao Yong, come out!" ”

The dare is that these people ran to check left and right, and they couldn't see any traces of man-made damage, but it seemed that the equipment of this old train was seriously aging. There were no casualties or anything like that, and of course I was acquitted.

I stood up and walked out, and the old man on the railroad tracks who had "attempted murder" also stood up and said, "Comrade, what about me?" The policeman said impatiently, "You stay honestly!" ”

There was nothing to say all the way, and I finally arrived in Beijing at four o'clock in the afternoon. Get off the train, breathe in the outside air, stretch out, and feel refreshed!

I walked out of the station, with a letter of introduction in my hand, and started looking for someone, who was supposed to pick us up from the training organizer. But the people outside the station are really not ordinary, crowded and shouting in large bags, many people are holding out various signs, calling all kinds of names, and they really can't freeze the person I'm looking for for a while.

After walking around the platform several times without finding any clues, a young man walked by in a hesitant manner, wearing a snow-white shirt and carrying an army-green schoolbag with "Yenching Institute of Science and Technology" written in large gold letters on it. Hey, isn't this school where we trained? I hurriedly went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, I'll inquire about something." ”

He looked back and asked, "What's the matter?" "His face is thin and immature, he wears glasses, and he looks like a student.

"Are you a student at Yenching Institute of Science and Technology?" I asked

"Yes! What's wrong? He seemed a little surprised.

"I went to your pharmacist training, and I couldn't find anyone to pick me up, how did you get to your school?"

He looked at me for a moment, and probably saw that I was an honest and honest person, so he said enthusiastically, "Well, I am going back to school, why don't you go with me?" ”

"That's great!"

We struggled through the crowd together, and he said, "My name is Wang Jianguo, what about you, big brother?" ”

"My name is Tao Yong."

He took me on a zigzag walk for a long time before I finally came to a bus stop. I looked at the stop sign and smiled: "Why are all the place names in Beijing what are the 'gates'?" ”

"They are all named after several gates of the old Beijing city, nine gates of the inner city, seven gates of the outer city, and four gates of the imperial city, which is not too much!"

"You know that!"

"My hometown is in Sichuan, but I grew up in Beijing."

"Which 'gate' will we go to later?"

"Let's not go to the 'door', go to the 'grave'." Wang Jianguo replied.

I was startled, but he laughed and didn't say anything.

Sure enough, I got in the car and went all the way north through the city, at first there were some antique buildings, then there were patches of red brick buildings, and then there were bungalows, and finally there were fewer bungalows, and the asphalt road became a dirt road.

"Xiaoguo, your school is so remote, are we about to arrive in Hebei?" I couldn't help but ask.

"There are still seven or eight stations." He replied casually.

"What did you mean when you said we were going to the 'grave'?"

"Our school is in a place called 'Lin Family Tomb' on the northern outskirts."

It's the first time I've heard of such a fierce word on a place name, and I joked: "It's not 'Taojia Tomb'." ”

He burst out laughing, and before he could finish laughing, the car creaked and stopped with an emergency brake.

The conductor and the driver got out of the car to take a look, then came up and said loudly, "The car is broken, let's go down and wait for the next trip." ”

Also, it's no wonder that a bus line runs so far and is not bad.

At this time, there were not many passengers on the bus, we got out of the car, and the rest of the people were probably not far from the destination, so they scattered. In the end, we were the only ones left on the side of the road.

By this time the sun had begun to set in the west, and my stomach was rumbling, if nothing else. After rummaging through the bag, the dry food brought was finally half a steamed bun, and then half of it was divided with Xiaoguo, and the two of them stood there and devoured their stomachs. He also sighed that the steamed buns in the Northeast are delicious, Xuanhu.

After waiting for a long time, not only did the next bus not come, but the broken car didn't seem to know when it drove away.

chatting and chatting, I suddenly felt that something was not right, why did Wang Jianguo's white shirt slowly turn red. Turning his head, he saw that a vast wasteland around him stretched out, stopping at the western mountains in the distance, and the sunset that was about to sink into the mountains was shrouded in a glow, as bright as blood.

"Why don't we go back?" I propose.

"But there are still seven or eight stations, and to say the least, there must be ten miles of land. But if we don't take the road and go straight through this area, we might be able to get closer. Wang Jianguo pointed in the direction of the remnant sun and said.

So we both abandoned the road and walked westward, one foot deep and one foot shallow. It didn't take long for me to realize that this was definitely not a good idea. At this time, it was completely dark, and although it felt like it was not far from the main road just now, there was no light in the distance, and only the general outline of the surrounding things could be seen, and the direction began to become uncertain. But Wang Jianguo in front of him seemed to walk without hesitation, and I could only continue to move forward.

After walking for a long time, the black shadow in front of me was getting closer and closer, and it felt like a small wood, but when I got closer, the black shadow suddenly squirmed. The moment's work suddenly increased, and it was "stunned" and pressed straight towards us. I rushed forward, pulled Wang Jianguo to my side, opened my eyes and looked carefully, but saw a large flock of crows as if they were alarmed, flapping their wings and flying everywhere. A few of them flew low, close to us, and felt the wind fluttering their wings, and a fishy smell of animals and dirt came to our faces.

"You stand back!" I said to Wang Jianguo, seeing the black shadow that seemed to have a long rod at his feet, I reached out and picked it up and waved it around me for a while, and the crow's eyesight was obviously much better than ours, and they all dodged it, flapping its wings and fleeing into the dim sky.

"What's going on here, so many crows, they shouldn't have entered some grave circle, right?" I jokingly turned around and said to Wang Jianguo.

I saw that only a darkness spread behind me, how could there be a shadow of half a person?

"Small country! Wang Jianguo! ......" called a few times, but no one answered, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on my back.

Not to mention that it's a bit weird that he disappeared out of thin air, right now I'm standing alone in this unclear place, what should I do next?

But I still didn't believe that a big living person was just missing, so I crouched down and searched carefully, hoping to find some clues.

Sure enough, after poking left and right a few meters away, I saw a dark shadow on the ground, and I reached out and found that it was a large hole.

It was a hole about half a meter square, about seven or eight centimeters above the ground. It occurred to me that this was a vegetable cellar.

In order to ensure the supply of vegetables in winter, they will buy more potatoes, radish, cabbage and other vegetables at the beginning of winter, and dig a large pit about two or three meters deep in their own fields, which is covered with wooden planks and floating soil, leaving only a small opening for entry and exit. Stack the vegetables in to ensure that they do not freeze and can be eaten until the next spring.

It's summer now, and there shouldn't be anything stored in this vegetable cellar, so I guess this kid fell into it.

I shouted twice at the mouth of the cellar: "Wang Jianguo! Wang Jianguo! ”

Sure enough, a weak voice replied, "Brother Yong, I'm here ......"

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I thought you had gone, but it turned out to be a land escape." ”

He smiled weakly and said, "I'm afraid that I will be affected by your stick method, so I want to retreat farther away, and I will fall in as soon as I step on the air." It seems that his head has fallen, and he is still blindfolded. ”

I reached out and saw that there was a ladder standing next to the cellar, and asked, "Can you move now?" This mouth is too narrow, and you have to climb up on your own. ”

"Okay, it should be ......" There was a sound of screaming, and he seemed to struggle to get up.

Suddenly, there was a metallic sound of "bang", followed by an "ouch" sound!

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"It looks like something has bitten my hand." He groaned in reply.

When I heard this, I was anxious, so I reached down and fished him out, as if I had touched the clothes on his shoulder, and quickly pulled him up.

By this time, the moon had risen, and the surroundings were finally no longer out of sight. By the moonlight, I could see that a small piece of flesh had been pinched off his little thumb, and blood was flowing.

"You're not bitten, you're clipped." I already knew in my heart that he must have touched a rat trap in the vegetable cellar, and looking at this wound, it was eighty percent of the kind with a jagged bite, and it was so sharp that it could break the waist of a large mouse of medium stature.

I quickly grabbed the root of his little finger with my left hand, took out a small paper bag in my pocket with my right hand, opened it and poured the dry powder directly on his wound, causing him to breathe in pain.

"Brother Yong, what is this?"

"Panax notoginseng powder." Seeing that the wound was covered with dry powder, the blood slowed down, and it stopped flowing for a while.

I took out a small roll of gauze from my bag, tore it open and bandaged him. He couldn't help but exclaim: "It doesn't hurt so much!" Thank you, Brother Yong! Why do you carry all these things with you? ”

"Of course, that's what shows the professionalism of a pharmacist." I boasted. In fact, to be precise, carrying these things with you just reflects the professionalism of a troublemaker who has been harmless since childhood.

After the bloodlight disaster passed, the next thing was safe, and after I doubted for the 81st time whether Wang Jianguo, this kid, knew the way, we finally saw a campus standing in front of us.

took out the letter of introduction and showed it to the doorman, and he instructed me to report to the first floor of the main building.

So he said goodbye to Wang Jianguo and went straight to the registration point.

I was greeted by a tall, red-faced male teacher in his forties, who said angrily when he saw me, "Where have you gone?" We have been waiting for you at Beijing Station for a long time and have not seen you, and we are about to send a missing person notice. You didn't report to your class! ”

"I turned around several times and didn't find you, but I happened to run into a student from this school, so I came with him."

"Nonsense, we were at the pit stop and pulled up a banner. You see! He turned around and pulled up a red strip of cloth on the table, which also read, "Warmly welcome pharmacist trainees to Beijing."

I was in a bit of a trance, how such a clear sign could have escaped my two visions1. 5 of the Dharma's Eye?

I asked him if anything had happened along the way, such as a broken bus. He said no, and the ride back all the way was smooth.

In the end, I had to say, "This school is so far away, there is not even a street light on the road, so we are all lost." ”

"Who said that?" He was surprised and said, "Aren't there street lights on both sides of the road!" ”
