Bumping and circling away from the center of the city, when the number of passengers on the bus gradually became fewer and fewer, Chen Mo took a deep breath. He knew that at the next few stops, this somewhat dilapidated 859 bus would It will be his own car.
"Xiao Mo, you bought a lot of things today! Are there guests at home?" Over the past six months, driver Lao Wang has become very familiar with Chen Mo, an unshakably loyal passenger.
After arriving near the outskirts of the city, it was almost impossible to see a few vehicles passing by. Lao Wang always went to chat with Chen Mo as a habit.
Lao Wang is a bit superstitious. Whenever he drives to a few remote stations outside the suburbs, he always looks around suspiciously.
Chen Mo is often told to be careful when living around here. During the Republic of China, there was a mass grave for dead soldiers nearby. Even now, a long time ago, there are always dirty things everywhere. Wandering.
In the past, before Chen Mo came, Lao Wang's last bus in the evening would always take a trip to this nearby stop when there was no one on the bus. Every time, he would timidly pray for safety and then hold on to his courage. Driving quickly all the way.
Later, when Chen Mo came, Lao Wang found a conversation partner, and he became a little more courageous. Chatting with Chen Mo was not only to relieve boredom and relax, but also to embolden himself.
"Well I guess, we have a guest at home!" Chen Mo thought for a moment, came back from his thoughts, and smiled at the rearview mirror at the front of the car.
His hand lifted the plastic bag that had slid down his leg towards him. In fact, Chen Mo originally just wanted to buy some fast food such as bread, milk, instant noodles, and biscuits. But when he passed by the vegetable area, Sikong Nandou, who was living in his body, Suddenly he suggested that Chen Mo buy some lettuce and go back.
After asking a few questions, I finally realized that it turned out that Sikong Nandou wanted to apologize to Chen Mo for what happened last night and cook a meal for Chen Mo. After knowing this, Chen Mo was naturally happy to enjoy it. To be honest, Chen Mo didn't like eating those fast food very much, but he was lazy and couldn't cook, so he could only make do with those fast food sooner or later.
It has become Chen Mo¡¯s biggest expectation to eat Aunt Shen¡¯s stir-fried vegetables at noon every day.
"It's good that we have a guest, so that you don't have to live in such a remote place alone. Although nothing has happened yet, it is still very scary. If you let me live in a place like this, I won't do it even if you kill me!"
Lao Wang held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a cigarette for himself.
The night wind squeezed into the car through the cracks in the unclosed windows, making a whistling sound. It was already the autumn season. It was fine in the city, but once you went to the suburbs, you would still feel a little cold. , it happens that tonight is another moonless night, and only the dim light of the bus illuminates the dilapidated road.
The damaged street lights on both sides made a "beep" sound from time to time. Halfway through the drive, Lao Wang suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Mo strangely, his eyes flickered, and his eyebrows gradually moved towards his forehead. Tie.
"Xiao Mo" Lao Wang called softly, licked his lips, and poked his head back somewhat mysteriously. Suddenly his eyes widened, and he turned back stiffly, unable to keep his eyes open. Look sideways in the rearview mirror.
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang?" Chen Mo responded softly. Seeing that Old Wang's movements were a little abnormal, he turned back and looked at where Old Wang's eyes were just now.
The few seats behind him were still empty. I looked around at other places in the car, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. At this moment, Lao Wang's tense body suddenly relaxed, and his right hand trembled a little. He straightened the cigarette in his mouth and took a long puff.
"Huh!Xiao Mo, have you seen it?" Lao Wang stepped on the accelerator and suddenly accelerated the speed of the car a lot.
"what did you see?"
Chen Mo looked around strangely. When he saw Lao Wang looking like this, he suddenly felt a little frightened. He hurried forward a few seats with a plastic bag in hand.
"Uncle Wang, what did you see?" Chen Mo asked softly, sitting on a seat behind the driver.
Lao Wang did not answer Chen Mo's words, and the car drove a little faster. When he was about to arrive at the station, Lao Wang turned around with some trembling and said: "There was a will-o'-the-wisp on the right side of the road just now "
"Will-o'-the-wisp?" Chen Mo repeated uncertainly in a low voice. He only looked at the situation inside the car just now. Chen Mo really didn't notice what Lao Wang said about the right side of the road.
"Yeah I'm scared to death. This broken line is life-threatening. I reported to the company a week ago to change the line, and I still haven't received a reply! I don't care. If you don't give me a letter tomorrow, I'll I won¡¯t do it anymore¡±
¡°As he said this, Lao Wang took something out of his pocket and handed it to Chen Mo.
"What is this?" Chen Mo looked at Lao Wang holding something in his hand, and using the dim light from the front of the car, he seemed to vaguely discern that it was a brand-like thing.
"This is the amulet my mother-in-law begged for me. Take it. Today may be the last time I take this route. When I go to the company tomorrow morning, I will ask to change the route. If I don't agree, I won't drive this car. You live alone here, how can you do it without anything to defend yourself!"
After mumbling a few words, Lao Wang threw the amulet between Chen Mo's legs, lit another cigarette, and said with a trembling voice.
"I heard from my dead grandma that ghosts are generally not allowed to be seen by people, but those ghosts that cannot be reincarnated will light their right hands with yin fire and wave to passers-by with the flaming right hand to attract passers-by. If you see a will-o'-the-wisp, then the ghost will definitely come to haunt the person. In the least case, the person will be weak and sick, in the worst case, the ghost will seek his life! It will become the backbone of the ghost's reincarnation!"
As they were about to reach the station, Lao Wang stepped on the brakes and urged Chen Mo to get out of the car.
"Uncle Wang, according to what you said, I can't ask for this amulet from you. You should bring it with you for self-defense. Even if someone really comes to see me, nothing will happen to me!" Chen Mo stuffed the amulet back. To Lao Wang, he was grabbed by Lao Wang just as he was about to turn around and get in the car.
"You bear boy, take it as long as you are told." Uncle Wang took the amulet and stuffed it into Chen Mo's pocket. After pushing Chen Mo out of the car, Lao Wang stood at the door of the car and said.
"We have known each other for more than half a year. This is your farewell gift from Uncle Wang. You still have a long way to go through the night. Be careful. Don't look around. Keep your head up. Look straight ahead and walk, no matter what is happening on the roadside, don¡¯t be attracted to your eyes, otherwise there will be a ghost, and there is nothing you can do about it!¡±
As he said this, Lao Wang shrank his neck, feeling a little cold. After sitting back in the driver's seat, he waved to Chen Mo, "Go back quickly!"
I don¡¯t know if it was an illusion or something. After Lao Wang waved his hand to him, Chen Mo seemed to see a green light on Lao Wang¡¯s forehead for a moment. But when Chen Mo reacted and wanted to stop Lao Wang, bus 859 It had turned around and was driving back at an extremely fast speed.
