Chapter 2 Escape
Zhuang Zhou felt that things were getting more and more confusing, and he even felt that the back of his spine was starting to feel cold.
Zhuang Zhou was a little unrelenting, suspecting that he had just been dazzled, so he walked along the aisle of the carriage, not even letting go of the toilet, and still did not see the shadow of the beggar! He reluctantly returned to his seat, his brain was in chaos, he suddenly felt that he was still in a dream, so he pinched the inner thigh with his hand, "Oops!" Zhuang Zhou grinned in pain, convinced that he was not dreaming.
After tossing for a long time, Zhuang Zhou didn't get any fame, Zhuang Zhou felt really tired, and thought to himself, don't be embarrassed for yourself, isn't it just a psychopathy and a nightmare! Whatever, sleep! Seeing that the time was already past one o'clock in the morning, he closed his eyes and planned to continue sleeping. However, his mind was so clear that he couldn't sleep, and the scenes in the nightmare and the dark shadow were always dangling in his head, and his heart was getting more and more uneasy.
The train slowly stopped, it was dark outside, and Zhuang Zhou didn't know where he had arrived. He looked out the window of the train, it was still raining heavily, there were not many people on the platform, and people got on and off the train in twos and threes. Suddenly, through the blurred glass, Zhuang Zhou saw a familiar back, it was the beggar! At this time, he had already gotten off the train and was staggering towards the exit of the station.
Zhuang Zhou seemed to have been pumped by something, and he couldn't care much about it, stood up, took his red travel bag from the luggage rack, and rushed off the train quickly. As soon as I arrived at the platform, I heard the sound of torrential rain, and the lights on the platform were a little dim, except for a few staff members standing there, no one else could be seen, and the beggar did not know where to go. Zhuang Zhou gritted his teeth and chased him out along the exit.
Running through the long underground passage, Zhuang Zhou ran to the gate of the railway station in one breath, and he didn't see the beggar, he was a little angry. It was still raining heavily outside, and it was estimated that the train had already left, and it was inconvenient to find a hotel, so I had to go back to the waiting hall, find a chair, put the luggage bag behind my head as a pillow, and planned to spend the night here, and buy a ticket to Beijing tomorrow.
Maybe it was too tired to toss all night, Zhuang Zhou quickly fell asleep this time.
I don't know how long I slept, Zhuang Zhou was woken up by the noisy voices, and slowly opened his eyes to see that the sky was already bright, and the waiting hall was full of people. There were a few standing beside him, and he was a little dissatisfied when he saw that he occupied the position of three people alone, and Zhuang Zhou was also a little embarrassed, so he sat up and stretched his waist. As soon as those people saw that Zhuang Zhou had given up his position, he hurriedly sat down, and one of them beat his waist and said, "I finally sat down, I'm tired to death!" Another person said: "I don't know when I'm going to be tired, I don't know when the road ahead will be repaired, I think the only ......way to refund the ticket" Zhuang Zhou chuckled in his heart and asked: "What's wrong with the road ahead?" The man opened his eyes wide and said, "You don't know?" Last night, the train to Beijing encountered a mudslide and a landslide, this guy, boomed down, at that time, several carriages derailed, two carriages were seriously deformed, and it is estimated that many people died...... Yesterday's rain was too big......" Zhuang Zhou's head thundered, and the whole person was stunned!
The man looked at Zhuang Zhou's stunned appearance, a little proud, pointed to the prompt board at the ticket gate in front of him and said: "Look, the cars in the direction of Beijing have basically stopped, and I don't know when they will be restored! You say, people are really unlucky sometimes, you must know that such a thing will happen, who will get on that car...... The man was chattering about something, Zhuang Zhou couldn't hear it anymore, he felt that everything he had experienced last night was a dream, and now he woke up, but he was inexplicably in this strange train station thousands of miles away from his hometown. It is unbelievable that the beggar actually accurately predicted that something would happen to the train, and what is even more incredible is that he actually dreamed of all this, and inexplicably got off the train ahead of schedule, escaped a catastrophe, and picked up a small life! Is it all a coincidence? First, the beggar babbled and persuaded himself to get off the train quickly, then he dreamed that the train had an accident, then he got off the train inexplicably, and finally the train really had an accident -- it was a coincidence, and Zhuang Zhou felt that he could not convince himself no matter what. He remembered that there is a movie in the United States called "The Grim Reaper is Coming", and his experience is completely a realistic version of "The Grim Reaper"!
At this time, the TV on the wall of the waiting hall began to broadcast the news of the train accident last night, showing a derailed train, like a hunted python lying in mud at the foot of a mountain, next to rescuers and panicked survivors. News reports said that the death toll had risen to 19 and that the trapped people were trying to rescue them, with the 8th and 9th carriages being the most severely damaged, deformed and twisted, and the dead were mainly passengers in these two carriages......
Zhuang Zhou watched all this in a daze, and completely fell into a kind of inextricable fear: he was in the No. 9 car at the time, if he hadn't gotten off at that time, then ...... A dense layer of sweat began to break out on his forehead. At the same time, he longed to find the beggar of last night at once, no, the master of prophecy, and he wanted to uncover the doubts that haunted him.
The mobile phone rang, Zhuang Zhou was startled, and took it out to see that it was An Ziwen's. He pressed the answer button, and he heard An Ziwen's anxious voice on the phone: "Thank God! Where are you hiding? You didn't answer any number of calls, I thought something had happened to you!" Zhuang Zhou looked at the phone, only to find that there were more than a dozen An Ziwen's missed calls from last night to now, and it seemed that he had slept too much, and he didn't hear it at all. Zhuang Zhou felt a little guilty, and said: "I'm sorry! I slept too ...... to death, I didn't hear it" An Ziwen's voice was very exaggerated: "! There was such a big incident last night, you actually fell asleep! It seems that you kid is fine!" Zhuang Zhou said: "I got off the train early...... "Ah" An Ziwen said, "Get off the train early?" Zhuang Zhou wanted to say that someone reminded him to get out of the car, but how could he say this clearly on the phone, besides, all this was too bizarre, and even he himself still didn't believe it. He didn't talk about last night's experience, but just said, "I'll tell you later!" I might have to stay here for a few more days...... An Ziwen said: "It's okay for you, I'll wait for you here, hang up." ”
Zhuang Zhou put down the phone, picked up his duffel bag and walked out. Anyway, I can't go to Beijing for the time being, so why don't you just stay in this strange place for a few days, and maybe you can meet that mysterious beggar!
