Chapter 2: Buses (1)

It's a modern metropolis with towering buildings and bright lights.

Murky air shrouded the night with a lot of traffic.

The tired young man dragged his feeble steps to the bus stop, and waited quietly for the last train of the day under the bright street lights on both sides of the road.

"Whew, I'm finally done, and I didn't miss the last train. By the light of the street lamp, the young man looked down at the cheap watch he was wearing on his wrist and breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man was 1.8 meters tall, short-haired, with a clear and resolute face, and was about 244 or 5 years old.

His name is Jiang Yan.

Because of personality reasons, I offended a small steward of the company, and was assigned a heavy workload, and I had to be busy until late at night before I could get off work.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch the last train, but if you're unlucky, you'll have to take a taxi home.

For financial reasons, it was obviously impossible for him to take a taxi, but he walked seven or eight miles back to his rental house on the edge of the city.

The company's steward acted like this, obviously to force Jiang Yan away.

Thinking of the terrible perseverance shown by this young man, he just survived.

There are not many young people who can endure it like Jiang Yan, and most of them have the idea that they don't have their own place to stay here.

If it weren't for family reasons, Jiang Yan would have done the same, but the reality was that he didn't dare.

"Whew, damn the fat man. Taking a deep breath of the foul air that didn't know how much smoke and dust was floating, Jiang Yan muttered and cursed in his mouth, he could only vent his anger a little in this way.

As time went on, there were more and more people waiting at the bus stop.

With a biting puff of smoke blowing from the bus's unique tail, the last bus arrived as scheduled.

Jiang Yan had to restrain his emotions, follow the pace of everyone in an orderly manner, and prepare to board the bus.

The order was when it was Jiang Yan's turn to enter the car door.

A gust of fragrant wind hit, and the thin figure grabbed the moment Jiang Yan entered the door, cutting in line and squeezing into the bus.

The shoulders of the two collided gently, giving Jiang Yan a soft and boneless feeling.

This made the latter frown: "Cut in line?"

He hates it when someone cuts the line, and he still cuts his own line.

Subconsciously, he was about to reach out and stop the woman's back, who had quietly entered the tail of the bus.

"The quality is really poor!" muttered, Jiang Yan gave up the idea of scolding, and entered the car door with his head down, after all, there were several people waiting behind him.

Because it was the last train, there were not many people, and Jiang Yan got on the bus at the end, and there were still vacant seats.

Jiang Yan chose to walk to the back of the bus.

As he walked down the bus aisle, he caught a glimpse of the woman on the left side of the aisle.

She was dressed in black leather and had short black hair.

After she got into the car, she kept staring out of the glass window, revealing only one side face, and she couldn't see the specific appearance.

Rao has only one side face, and the skin like snow still gives people a silent sense of amazement.

Jiang Yan didn't know which kind of cosmetics she was using, anyway, he didn't believe that human skin could be maintained so well in a city with such poor air quality.

With a casual glance, Jiang Yan chose to sit on the right side of the aisle opposite to the woman.

Rumble!

With a roar of the body, the bus starts.

The streetlights on both sides of the road slowly disappeared towards the rear.

Jiang Yan's eyes swept casually in the carriage.

There were about eleven or twelve people on the last train, and there were only four people in the back half of the carriage where Jiang Yan was.

In addition to Jiang Yan and the woman, there were two other people in the back half of the carriage, a middle-aged man with a calm appearance and a fat man who was absent-mindedly playing with his mobile phone.

Ding Ding Ding!

The crisp ringtone of the mobile phone pulled Jiang Yan's thoughts back, and he felt the vibration in his pocket.

At this point in time, the only one who can call himself is his mother.

This is exactly the case, looking at the number on the mobile phone screen that was not saved, but he was able to memorize it backwards, Jiang Yan tried his best to suppress the voice and connected the number.

"Hey, Mom!"

"Hey, little bore. On the other side of his hand, there was the voice of Jiang Yan's mother.

"Did you get off work?"

"I'm on my way back. Jiang Yan said casually: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm about to sleep, people are old and sleep less. Jiang Yan's mother has all mothers' common problems, she loves to nag, and she doesn't have anything to do on the phone, in fact, she just wants to chat with her son: "How is your work lately." ”

Jiang Yan knew his mother's personality very well, and said casually: "It's okay, it's good, the colleagues in the company are very easy to get along with." ”

"If you're out alone, don't send money home, your dad and I won't spend much, and we won't have a retirement salary. ”

"It's not much, I can't use so much money alone. Jiang Yan pursed his lips.

He actually went home with 500 yuan this month.

He can only free up so much money, except for daily expenses and rent, which is already the limit for him as a college student who has just left society.

But his mother was still too much.

"How's Dad's health?" Jiang Yan was a little sad and changed the topic.

His dad suffered from a herniated disc in his lumbar spine last year, and his legs were unable to move.

"It's okay! It's okay! This time it was his father who answered Jiang Yan, and it seemed that the voice was next to his mother.

As long as he calls Jiang Yan, the old couple will get together, and his father likes to eavesdrop on the sidelines, but he never takes the initiative to call him.

Jiang Yan could almost imagine the scene of his father putting his ear to the mobile phone held by his mother.

Jiang Yan smiled silently, his father just loves face, and he is also childish.

As time goes on, the buses get faster and faster.

The streetlights on both sides of the road, which were originally dense, became more and more sparse as they left the center of the city.

Jiang was tired of disturbing the people on the bus, so he kept chatting with his parents in a whisper.

Ten minutes later.

"Whew!" Jiang Yan hung up the phone, and confusion appeared on his face.

My father was sick and needed money, and he simply couldn't afford to pay for the high medical bills, and when he left home last year, his father could barely stand on his legs.

That's why he didn't dare to resign.

Houses and cars are even more unthinkable.

"Alas!" I don't know how many times I sighed today, Jiang Yan was stunned in his seat.

Inside the carriage, the passengers had to look tired, there was no conversation, only the occasional street lamp light shining in, and there was silence.

Unbeknownst to everyone, a layer of black fog emerged on both sides of the road where the bus was traveling.

Because the last train was traveling the same route as usual, no one noticed the slightest anomaly.

Until a quarter of an hour and minutes later.

"Why is it so foggy today. Inside the cab, the driver's uncle, with slightly bald hair, complained softly.

He even had his high beams on, and visibility was still low, which forced him to reduce his speed.

The carriage was already quiet, and the driver's voice, although low, was heard throughout the carriage.

Jiang Yanmuran's eyes gradually regained their vitality, came back to their senses, and looked out of the window with a frown.

Sure enough, as the driver said, looking out through the glass window, the scenery on both sides of the road was covered in a thick fog and was almost invisible.

"Haze, such an exaggerated haze?" To be honest, Jiang Yan has grown so big, and he has never seen such a big fog.

It was dark now, and Jiang Yan couldn't tell whether the fog outside was white or black, so he didn't have any doubts in his heart.

Not only Jiang Yan, but the other passengers also didn't notice the weirdness outside.

There were even passengers who shouted to remind the driver.

"Master, drive slowly, what should I do if the fog is so big and I hit it!"

"It's slow!" replied the driver feebly.

Seeing that the last bus could get off work, who knew that in this kind of weather, the driver also behaved very depressed.

But with more than ten years of driving experience, he knows very well what speed he should maintain in such dense fog road conditions.

The thick fog made the passengers in this carriage tense up slightly.

All of them turned their attention nervously to the outside world, and the atmosphere was quiet again.

After three minutes, the fog did not abate, but became thicker, and even with the help of high beams, visibility was only three or four meters.

The driver's forehead was so nervous that a trace of sweat was oozing from it.

After driving for more than ten years, it was the first time he had seen such a big fog, and the originally unfast speed had to slow down again.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded from behind Jiang Yan, that is, from the last row of the carriage.

Jiang Yan's nerves were already tense, and when he heard someone's voice, he subconsciously forgot to the rear.

But seeing the middle-aged man who had been expressionless, he quickly got up from his position, walked in front of Jiang Yan in three or two steps at a speed that was not suitable for his age, and then stopped next to the driver of the front of the car.

"I'll tell you to stop!" the man's voice was a little majestic.

"Ahh

Now the man spoke almost into his ear, startling him.

Subconsciously, he followed the man's order and stepped on the brake.

Laugh at!!!

The speed of the bus is not fast, but after all, it is large in size, and it is inevitable that there will be inertia.

The tires came to a halt after four black tire marks about one meter long were drawn on the road.

The driver was okay and sat in the driver's seat.

The other passengers were so overturned by the sudden inertia that several even fell out of their seats and slapped on the iron plate on the floor of the carriage.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan's eyes were quick, and at the moment of braking, his hands were firmly held on the back seat of the seat in front of him, and his body was stabilized.

Jiang Yan was sitting after all, and what made him feel strange was that the man who stopped the bus, the only person standing in the whole car at that time, did not have the slightest skew under this sudden braking, and stood in the front of the car steadily. In fact, there is another person who Jiang Yan didn't notice, not only did his face not change during this sudden braking, but his body did not tilt at all.

It's the woman who inserted Jiang Yan's team before, but her sense of existence is extremely low, and no one notices her abnormality.

Don't wait for Jiang to think about it.
