Chapter 1 On the Train

Next Chapter

"Sorry, borrowed it."

Gu Yuan hugged the bag in his arms tightly, with a single earphone stuffed in his ear, and the other earphone naturally hung down on his chest and swayed.

On the other end of the headset was a worn-out MP3 in his pocket, a product of the old times that he had found in a locker before he set off, and he tried to charge it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it could still be used, although the sound quality was poor and accompanied by "zizi" low noise, it was very suitable for passing the time on the road.

According to the train ticket in his hand, he finally found his place through the crowd, and he could just look at the scenery along the way by the window, which was also Gu Yuan's original intention of choosing the "train" to end this graduation trip.

Turn off your phone, take a quick trip, and enjoy the peace and quiet of life.

On the seat of the aisle, there is a girl who looks good, with bright eyes, no powder on her face, wearing a somewhat retro skirt, flaxen, revealing a small calf, full calf, and a pair of clean little white shoes on her feet, with two very old braids, which looks a little rustic.

But combined with the girl's delicate face, he felt that this was completely forgivable.

The girl raised her head and glanced at Gu Yuan, a strange color flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and moved her legs, her figure was relatively slender, Gu Yuan squeezed it and went in.

"Thank you." He whispered.

The other party did not respond, and looked indifferently at the vertical wire-bound book in his hand, on the cover was the four words "Mengxi Pen Talk", and the paper was slightly yellowed, which seemed to be some years.

Gu Yuan took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed the cap and drank half of it, put it on the dining table in front of him, and stuffed the bag into the gap under his feet.

The environment in the carriage was a little noisy, mixed with the dialects of various places, and sitting behind Gu Yuan seemed to be a middle-aged couple, arguing over some trivial things in life.

"You shouldn't be in the car." An indifferent voice suddenly came.

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, and turned his face to look at the braided girl beside him.

"What?"

The other party's slender fingers flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, making Gu Yuan wonder if he had heard it wrong just now.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, he frowned, did not speak, and continued to look at the scenery outside the window, the train moved slowly, with a "hum, hum" sound.

He slowly closed his eyes, wanting to rest for a while.

"Bang".

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, and there was a chill on his legs, only to find that the mineral water bottle on the dining table had been emptied, and his pants were wet.

"Guy, I'm sorry!" The old woman sitting opposite, her face was full of vicissitudes, and the age spots on her dark cheeks were not so conspicuous, she was holding a little girl about six or seven years old in her arms, wearing a red jacket, with a layer of white fluff on the cuffs, holding a broken kettle, a little timid.

"Brother, I'm sorry! I accidentally kicked the table......" the little girl whispered.

Gu Yuan smiled and shook his head, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and wiped it briefly.

"It's fine."

The little girl blinked her big watery eyes, her small mouth was pursed together, the old woman was still saying words of apology, Gu Yuan had already wiped her pants clean, took out a lollipop from her bag by the way, and handed it to the little girl with pigtails in front of her.

"Sugar, please."

"Huh?" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she looked at the lollipop in Gu Yuan's hand with a curious expression.

"What's so embarrassing about that." When the old woman laughed, the wrinkles on her face were all huddled together, like an old piece of bark.

Gu Yuan still stuffed the lollipop into the little girl's hand and gently touched her forehead by the way.

The little girl stuffed the lollipop into her mouth, bit the plastic paper on it with her teeth, and then "bumpered" a few times, with a little disgusted expression.

Her big watery eyes were full of doubt.

Gu Yuan felt incredible, and hurriedly said, "It's not like this. Then he reached out and took the lollipop, tore open the package, and handed it over again.

The little girl reached out again to take it, looked at the pink candy, and this time just licked it with her tongue and squinted her eyes happily.

"It's so sweet!"

The old woman squinted her eyes and stroked her hair with a smile, her eyes were full of doting: "Thank you brother yet." ”

"Thank you, brother!" The little girl stuffed the lollipop into her mouth and bit it with a clattering sound.

Gu Yuan felt strange.

Are there any kids who haven't eaten a lollipop before?

"Brother, what's in your ears?" The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed at Gu Yuan's headphones again.

"It's music, you listen." Gu Yuan gently stuffed a headset into the little girl's ear.

"Oops!" The little girl was taken aback, her face was frightened, she quickly shook her head, and looked at the old woman uneasily, "Grandma, I have a villain talking in my head!" ”

Gu Yuan was a little stunned.

This little girl is really peculiar, she looks like she has never eaten a lollipop, and now she is scared because of an MP3.

I just wanted to explain, but the little girl had already put the headphones back into her ears.

"Hee-hee! It's fun! ”

Gu Yuan smiled dumbly.

This is probably the nature of children, innocent and pure.

He turned his face and looked at the braided girl next to him, who was looking indifferent, and he gave up his intention to talk.

It's just that the couple behind them went from a bickering at first to an argument, probably considering that they were on the train, and deliberately lowered their voices.

Gu Yuan didn't think it was too noisy, but thought it was quite interesting, this was part of the trip,

The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals.

A man in a gray jacket sat next to the old man and child, and the old woman looked at him and moved the snakeskin bag under his feet.

The other party looked to be in his forties, with silver sideburns, a vicissitudes of life, and his hands on the dining table were a little rough, so he should have done some manual work often.

After a while, the old woman talked to Gu Yuan.

"Boy, where are you from?"

"Star City." Gu Yuan didn't have too much defense.

"Ouch! That's a long way off! ”

Gu Yuan smiled.

"Star City? I've been to that place! The man in the jacket next to him smiled and said, "In the early years, I followed a friend to run over, but I ran into some trouble, and my friend still died there." ”

Gu Yuan was a little surprised.

This is a very talkative man, and he pulled Gu Yuan to talk about the geography and humanities of Star City, which is somewhat showy, and he often meets this kind of person in life, and Gu Yuan is used to it.

The old woman interjected a few sentences from time to time, but the braided girl beside Gu Yuan didn't speak, and she was as indifferent as ever.

It's just that the middle-aged couple behind them are getting louder and louder, even to the point of roaring, and no one stands up to persuade peace.

It was difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, Gu Yuan thought about it and didn't say anything.

"Xiao Gu, let's go ahead and smoke a cigarette!" The man in the jacket asked as he suddenly got up.

Gu Yuan waved his hand.

"I don't smoke."

"Oh...... It's good not to smoke. The man in the jacket pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and left.

Gu Yuan glanced at it and was slightly stunned.

That package......

It seems to be the same star brand cigarettes that were discontinued more than ten years ago?

Although he doesn't smoke, he often helps his second uncle buy cigarettes when he is a child, and the second uncle's favorite brand is the same star brand.

"I didn't expect to see this brand of cigarettes now." He thought to himself, and he didn't know how the other party had saved it.

Or is there a small workshop secretly producing?

Gu Yuan picked up the mineral water bottle on the table, although he had sprinkled some before, there was still a small half left, and he drank it clean with his neck tilted.

At this moment, there was a roar behind him.

"! Prostitute. Child! You. Child! "It's the middle-aged couple.

The quarrel escalated and turned into swearing.

Gu Yuan turned his face and looked at the man's blushing face, in a state of rage, he didn't know where to find a machete, and slashed at the woman's head, the blade was stuck in the skull, blood splattered, staining a large area of car window glass.

Scarlet liquid spreads along the glass.

The man shook his arm, pulled the blade out of his skull, raised his arm again, and slashed it down.

Knife after knife.

". Child! I'll hack you to death! Damn bitch. Child! He roared and roared like he was crazy.

The woman's skull, flesh and blood fell out with a handful of hair, and the whole face was stained red with blood, but with a hideous smile.

"You shit! Hack me to death! Rubbish! Hahahaha! ”

Gu Yuan only felt a chill in his back, and at this moment, it seemed that his breathing had stagnated.

The old woman who was holding the child got up and cursed: "Beast! Shameless brutes, they all deserve to die! Damn it! ”

She strangled the child in her arms, and her other hand kept slapping the little girl's head, the girl's eyes were slapped out, with a viscous liquid, and a nerve connected the eye socket and the eyeball, just like the headphones that Gu Yuan didn't insert into his ears when he got into the car, swaying.

The little girl smiled sharply and clapped her palms.

"Fun! Playful! Hee-hee......"

Finally.

The girl with braids sitting next to her turned her face and smiled, but looked at him with cold eyes.

"Little handsome guy, do you remember...... How did you get on this train? ”

Gu Yuan's heart twitched violently, he turned his face, and looked at the girl with a playful smile on his face in astonishment, and in an instant, he was in a trance.

Oh, yes......

How did you get into this car......

At this moment, the memory of the previous one suddenly blurred.

He pressed his temples, his memory flickering.

"I ...... Because I fell out of love, I went out on a graduation trip and ...... to relax."

He struggled to remember.

"Then, I'm now in Haicheng, walking along the railroad tracks, taking pictures......"

"I found a train that had been scrapped twenty years ago, and the weeds were growing into the carriage, and I walked in, leaning back in my chair, wanting to spend the night here...... Tomorrow ...... home."

Suddenly, the whole world fell silent.

He looked around.

All the "people" are looking at him with strange eyes.

With a hideous playful smile on his face.

"Oops...... He seems to have found out. A voice whispered.

"Boom".

Gu Yuan's scalp exploded.
