Chapter 20 Driving on a Rainy Night
"Let's go eat, I'm a little hungry." Lei Baoquan's car was parked downstairs at his house, and he got out of the car, Lei Baoquan said.
"Well, let's take a walk, I heard from Jin Guo that you have a restaurant here, and the pork knuckle is good." As soon as Uncle Li heard about eating, he immediately came to his senses.
The four of them came to a small restaurant not far from downstairs and ordered four meals and one soup, and Uncle Li was very happy.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Halfway through eating, Li Bai stood up and said while holding his stomach.
The crowd waved their hands in disgust and told him to go.
Li Bai came to the bathroom of the restaurant and couldn't wait to untie his pants and start the demining work.
"Have you heard? Chen didn't come home last night the same night. Li Bai suddenly heard a person's voice coming from the next compartment on the left.
Li Bai wondered: Is this talking to me?
Li Bai just wanted to respond, but another voice came from the compartment on his right: "Well, I heard what his sister said, saying that she took the car home last night, but she never arrived." ”
"Who knows if he's really going home, maybe he's running somewhere halfway up again." Said the left compartment.
Li Bai listened to it in a fog, and secretly felt funny in his heart, these two people were not at ease when they went to the toilet, and they had to chat with each other.
"But I don't think so." The right compartment said, "Do you know what car he's in?" ”
"What car?" Left asked.
"Bus 24!" Said leisurely on the right.
Li Bai was stunned, how could this be on the No. 24 bus again?
"It's that car......" The person on the left was also stunned.
There was silence for a while, and neither of them spoke.
Li Bai was listening to the doubts, but these two people didn't say anything, Li Bai waited for a long time, he couldn't hold it back, and opened his mouth: "I said two brothers? ”
The two people next to him were stunned when they heard that it was a stranger, and when they thought that this toilet only had three cubicles, they must have called themselves, so they replied, "Are you calling us?" ”
"There are only three of them." Li Bai said, "Why didn't you go down to the No. 24 bus you just mentioned?" ”
"What else are you talking about? Most people in Yungang City know that it is an eventful car, and many people have seen unclean things on it. The man on the left said.
"Oh? Is it? Li Bai thought about it, this was similar to the news he had.
"Of course, you probably don't know that there was a guy who went crazy because he saw something like that on it." The right side continues.
"Really? Such an exaggeration. Li Bai said with a smile.
"What am I lying to you for? So very few people take that train now, unless there is something important, and it usually takes the bus in the morning. The right added.
"And what happened to that friend you just mentioned?" Li Bai asked again.
"Ah, you said Chen Tong, this kid's home is in Shugang Town, yesterday at noon said to go home, and then in the middle of the night his sister called us to ask if he was with us, saying that he never went back. We wonder if this kid might be out again. The man on the left replied.
"However, if he is in the No. 24 bus, he can't be sure," said the right side uneasily.
"I said can you think on the bright side, if something happens in the car, there must be news this morning, isn't there no news now?" Left reproached.
"Maybe it's not a car accident, it's a matter of saying it, and I can't get through to him." Said on the right.
As soon as Li Bai heard that these two people were emotional, he couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly did something, stood up and put on his pants, and said to both sides: "Two brothers, the younger brother has to take a step in advance, you use it slowly." ”
Both sides also giggled and replied, "Let's go, brother." ”
Li Bai shook his head and walked out of the toilet, leaving the two of them still arguing inside.
"You say you can't be optimistic?"
"You are optimistic! Your whole family is optimistic... Wait a minute, did he just say let the two of us use it slowly......"
Back at the dinner table, Uncle Li was chatting with Lei Baoquan, Jin Guo saw Li Bai coming back, and quickly picked up a piece of pork knuckle for him, and said, "Hurry up and eat, fortunately I risked my life to grab it just now, otherwise Uncle Li would have eaten it alone." ”
After the meal, the four of them returned home to rest for an afternoon, and came to the bus stop, when it was raining and gloomy, which happened to be very appropriate for everyone's actions.
After waiting for five or six minutes, the No. 24 bus slowly drove up and stopped at the platform.
The car door opened, and it was Cao Feng who was driving, Cao Feng glanced out, and saw that it was Lei Baoquan and a few people, and hurriedly greeted him happily, and the four people got into the car, and as expected, there were only four of them in the car.
"Are you going to Shugang Town again today? You can go there diligently. Cao Feng said.
"This time it's different, this time it's to solve the problem." Lei Baoquan said confidently.
Cao Feng started the car, glanced in the rearview mirror, saw a thin old man who had never seen one of the four people, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Li Bai leaned into Cao Feng's ear and said, "This is a master!" You know! ”
When Cao Feng heard it, although he didn't know why, he still felt that it was very powerful.
The car had just driven out of Yungang City, and the rain was heavier than just now, slapping on the car window, and everything outside became hazy. Cao Feng slowed down and drove carefully.
Li Bai suddenly thought of the words of the two people he heard in the toilet of the restaurant in the afternoon, and asked, "Were you the one who drove last night?" ”
"Yes, usually I don't ask for leave if I don't have anything important." Cao Feng replied.
"Did you see anything last night?" Li Bai asked.
When Cao Feng heard this, he immediately replied: "How do you know?" I remembered what you said, I was halfway through the drive last night, and I saw someone waving on the side of the road to stop the car, and I was scared! Another old man will be over, so I didn't hesitate at all, and drove over with one foot on the accelerator! ”
"And after that?"
"Then I'll go home." Cao Feng replied.
"What's wrong? Xiaobai. Seeing Li Bai asking non-stop, Lei Baoquan felt strange.
"When I was eating at noon, I went to the toilet and met two people, and they said that their friend took this bus last night and didn't come home in the evening, and he still can't contact anyone today." Li Bai said.
"Really? What kind of people? There weren't many passengers last night, it seemed like there were only five, or four, I forgot. Cao Feng asked.
"I don't know who it is, but I heard it. Oh, by the way, there was a kid who was talking to you last night, you remember? Li Bai remembered the "mace".
"Chatting? Oh, that boy, with a long, pimple-covered face, like a mace. Cao Feng said.
Li Bai was stunned, could it be that this person's screen name was based on his actual image?
"What's wrong with him?" Cao Feng asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking, where did he get off the car?"
"The terminal, the last one to get off, is near the garage, I drove the car directly to the garage when he got off." Cao Feng replied.
"That said, last night's passengers were all safely in place, right?" Li Bai continued to confirm.
"Yes, they all arrived in Shugang Town, and they got off when they got to the place they said."
Li Bai turned to the three people next to him and said, "This is strange, they are all in the car, and they all get off the car safely, how can someone be missing?" ”
Lei Baoquan said: "Don't think about it, if you go missing, your family will definitely report the case, and I haven't heard anyone report it now." Maybe this person went somewhere, and he didn't tell his family. ”
When Li Bai heard this, many people thought so, so there was no need for him to be obsessed with this problem anymore.
"But isn't that old man coming tonight? Didn't he promise to help? Jin Guo sat in the back and suddenly said.
"yes, this old man won't let us finish his work and run away by himself, right?" Li Bai shouted.
"Probably not, we can be regarded as a great help to him, he also promised us, he should come, and even if he runs, the monk runs to the temple?" Lei Baoquan said.
A few people were talking, and suddenly Cao Feng shouted in front: "There is... Someone! ”
Everyone was startled, hurriedly looked ahead, and by the light of the headlights, they vaguely saw a person standing on the side of the road not far ahead, looming in the heavy rain.
"What to do? Want... Do you want to stop? Cao Feng was a little nervous, if it was himself, he would definitely speed up and rush over, but at this time, Lei Baoquan was around and a few people were around, and he still had to ask for everyone's opinions.
"Maybe it's an old man." Li Bai shouted.
"yes, maybe the old man is keeping his promise." Jin Guo also said.
At this time, the man on the side of the road slowly waved at the bus.
"Stop, let him come up." Lei Baoquan said.
Cao Feng swallowed his saliva and slowly stopped the car.
