Chapter 42 Taxi
It was already late at night, Guan Keyu refused Zheng Anguo's kindness, and did not let them send him home, but pulled Lin You to walk in the Wutong Road next to Meiyuan Building. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's already autumn, and the sycamore leaves the size of someone's palm are falling downward.
As soon as the wind blew, it set off a wave on the bluestone paved road.
The sound of the leaves rubbing against each other came to people's ears, and it seemed a little sluggish.
But Guan Keyu took the initiative to hold Lin You's right arm, and half leaned on Lin You's shoulder with a sweet smile on his face.
In this way, the two walked on the road woven by the French plane tree.
Lin You's face was calm, and he didn't feel any emotional ups and downs.
In fact, he also enjoys the current atmosphere, and there is a feeling that he is back to being a teenager.
Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"Aren't you a teenager now?"
In the city center, even when night falls, the lights don't go out.
There are some small lantern-like tubes hanging from the trunk of the plane tree, and the light is not strong, but a little dark. The purple and green light was misty, and even the nearby sycamore branches could not be illuminated.
But these soft, dim lights create a tranquil atmosphere.
Lin You looked at the couples who were hiding under a few plane trees and hugged each other, and knew that this place was very popular.
"It's time to go home! Be careful to go back and be scolded!"
Lin You estimated that it was not too late, so he whispered to Guan Keyu.
"Huh?"
Guan Keyu lifted his little head off Lin You's shoulder, and then Qiong's nose let out a soft snort.
As if thinking of something, she blushed, didn't look at Lin You, and lowered her head slightly.
Then he responded, "Hmm!"
When Lin You saw her answer, he said, "Let's go." ”
Crossing Wutong Road, there is another street, which is not as prosperous as the street where the Plum Garden Building is located, and it looks a little dark.
Lin You turned his head to look and found that the façade of this street was being renovated and renovated, and there were paint buckets and wooden shelves on the street.
Just when Lin You felt that it was not easy to take a taxi here, a taxi suddenly drove into the distance.
The miserable white light hit the street, breaking the darkness of the street, revealing the decoration garbage in the street.
Lin You hurriedly waved to the car.
The driver's eyes were very good, and Lin You beckoned in the shadow of the tree and he saw it.
Lin You looked at the taxi that was slowly coming, took Guan Keyu's hand and patted it.
He asked softly, "Where do you live?"
Guan Keyu was about to answer, but Lin You said again: "Let's get in the car first!"
In fact, Lin You wanted to send Guan Keyu to the car and walk home by himself, he wanted to see the city center at night.
Cultivating the Tao to the present, Lin You takes many things in life lightly, but there are also some things that are becoming more and more important in his heart.
For example, curiosity.
Don't look at the cultivators who are indifferent to fame and fortune, as if they don't care about everything in the world, but their curiosity is often the heaviest.
In some ways, monks and scientific researchers are essentially the same.
But when the driver stopped the car, Lin You changed his mind and let a girl go home alone, which was not good after all.
This is also Lin You's lack of emotional experience, otherwise he would not have hesitated in this matter.
opened the car door, Lin You let Guan Keyu go in first, and then he bowed down and got into the taxi.
"Bang!"
The sound of the car door closing sounded like a boundary, and the noise outside disappeared in an instant.
The taxi was very silent, so silent that even Lin You could hear Guan Keyu's breathing.
Her breathing was soft, and she was still a little flustered, and Lin You glanced at her and noticed that her cheeks were red.
"What a shy girl. ”
Lin You sighed in his heart, so he temporarily suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
He didn't think much about it, after Guan Keyu told the driver the destination, after the taxi started, he leaned on the seat of the car and closed his eyes and took a nap.
Just as Lin You was silently cultivating the sword qi in his body, Guan Keyu next to him suddenly grabbed his left hand.
Her wrists were straining and her hands seemed to be shaking.
It made Lin You feel that she was scared.
Lin You slowly opened his eyes, and a line of inky light flashed in his pupils.
"It's fine!"
Lin You held her hand and said in a comfortable voice.
comforted Guan Keyu, and Lin You looked at the man in the taxi driver's seat.
Looking at the man's back, Lin You felt a slight sense of familiarity.
From behind, the man's hair was a little thin, and his skin was a little loose under the flashing street lamp.
The man was dressed in a blue overalls, a bit like a worker at an auto repair station.
A very ordinary middle-aged man who is oppressed by the pressure of life.
Guan Keyu leaned closer to Lin You, and Lin You cooperated and leaned his head towards her.
"Road...... It doesn't seem right......"
Her voice was very thin, so thin that it was a little difficult to hear Lin You's ears, and her voice was still a little trembling, obviously the panic in her heart seeped out.
Lin You's eyes were calm, and he clenched her hand.
He said, "It's okay." ”
Through the stainless steel frame in the taxi to prevent the hijacking of the driver, Lin You stared at the driver.
The driver was silent and didn't say a word after driving back. Even when Guan Keyu said the destination, he didn't even reply.
Just holding the steering wheel of the car stiffly, it doesn't look like an old driver.
Lin You looked at it, didn't think much about it, and said directly.
"Master, stop it!"
After speaking, Lin leisurely stared straight at the driver.
The driver didn't seem to hear what Lin You said, and still drove by himself.
The road where the taxi was driving was so clear that there wasn't even a single other car.
This is the outer ring road, usually only the big trucks of the factory and some detour cars pass by, and it is often like a ghost area at night.
There are also many graves around the road, which were built through the fields of the suburbs.
Rural cemeteries are often located in distant fields.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became cold, and Lin You felt Guan Keyu tremble as he held his hand.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lin You's mouth curled.
He held Guan Keyu's hand, pulled her over, leaned on his body, and whispered, "Don't be afraid!"
When Lin You's voice sounded in the taxi, the driver seemed to be unresponsive, and finally reacted.
"Money, money, money...... Money!"
The driver's mouth kept muttering.
His voice was hoarse, and he felt like a middle-aged man who had been crushed by life.
But Lin You heard a little different, and Lin You's eyes narrowed slightly.
"But, yes, I, I'll give you ......."
After hearing the driver speak, Guan Keyu, who was very scared, straightened up tremblingly, and said to the driver with a cry.
Her voice trembled, and Lin You on the side could clearly hear the panic in her heart.
The driver was just whispering to himself, as if he didn't care about what Lin You said at all.
The inside of the car became even colder, Guan Keyu hugged Lin You's hand tightly, and she felt like she was about to cry.
"It's hard to ......"
Guan Keyu looked up at Lin You, with tears in his eyes, and the meaning of horror was self-evident.
"Money! I want money......"
Suddenly, the whispering driver seemed to have collapsed, holding the steering wheel and roaring loudly.
"Poof...... Woo......"
As if he had a mental illness, he whimpered and cried as he spoke.
It was as if he had a great grievance in his heart.
Lin You frowned when he saw his situation.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the money!"
But he said to the driver in a soothing tone.
"Really?"
The driver in front seemed to have finally heard what Lin You said, and he muttered in his mouth.
A whimpering sound rang in his throat.
"Really, really, really, really......"
Lin You saw it, did not show impatience, and replied affirmatively.
"Really!"
The driver slowly stopped the strange voice in his mouth, and he slowly calmed down.
Because of fright, Guan Keyu leaned directly into Lin You's arms, and she felt the breath on Lin You's body. When Guan Keyu heard that the driver stopped talking, it seemed to be quiet.
She felt that something had turned around, and she opened her tightly closed eyes and looked at the driver.
She found the driver holding the steering wheel and driving quietly.
It's as if everything before was his hallucination.
Guan Keyu's heart relaxed slightly.
But suddenly, the driver turned his head, stiff, white, and terrifying face, and grinned at Guan Keyu.
"Not ...... enough"
......
