Lao Mao and Da Huang also seemed to be interested in this courageous master driver. They stretched their necks and waited to hear. I also sat slightly forward and waited for the master to start telling stories.
The driver took another slow drag on his cigarette and said while driving: "I used to have a buddy who drove a subway in the city. At first, our family backgrounds were about the same and we were both poor. Then this guy suddenly came to the city.
He bought a house and bought a pretty good car. I was a little confused at the time and asked him if he had any other business."
When talking about this, the driver's expression was very intriguing, as if he was waiting for us to guess.
As soon as I heard this, I understood the key and immediately asked: "Does your buddy drive the night shift subway?"
The driver smiled and nodded and said: "You are quite smart. Yes, he drove the night shift subway, which was actually the last train. At that time, there were very few subway lines in the city, only three lines, and they were all newly opened, so
Everyone didn’t know much about subway drivers and thought it was similar to driving a bus. Later, I heard from my buddy that I realized that driving a subway requires not only skills but also courage.”
"Oh?" I asked quickly: "Why does this require courage?"
The driver master said: "After driving a few times, the first few masters said they had seen bad things in the tunnel, and then they resigned directly. The salary of a subway driver was not high at that time, and
Weird things happened all the time, and in the end, they spread the word, and no one was willing to drive the subway... The subway company became anxious, so it issued a new recruitment notice to increase the salary of subway drivers.
A lot."
The driver paused for a moment and continued: "This attracted a lot of people to sign up. It was good at first, but after a while, these drivers once again encountered the strange things before..."
When I heard this, I started to break into a cold sweat again. It seemed that the subway driver must have seen strange things in the tunnel more than once, and it must be real. Otherwise, it would be impossible for this kind of thing to happen one after another, and to do so.
It makes people panic.
The driver continued: "They often see people walking in the subway tunnels, and these people are not afraid of the subway. They will disappear when they hit it. The last summary of the drivers is that there is a ghost in the subway, and the rumors are stronger than
Tiger, panic suddenly started again, what do you think the subway company should do now?"
Dahuang smiled and said: "What else can we do? Otherwise, we can increase the driver's salary, or else we can ask an expert to do it."
The driver nodded and said, "You are right. In the end, they probably felt that there was really something unclean in the subway, so they spent a lot of money to invite several highly respected people from all over the country."
Having said this, the old cat smiled contemptuously and said, "Why didn't you invite me?"
The driver didn't hear the old cat complaining, but continued: "The experts have been studying the subway for several months, and finally concluded that the subway lines are full of ghosts. The number of ghosts can be almost tens of thousands.
Forget it, and they are all the aborigines of these four or nine cities. Their foundation is solid and cannot be shaken. If we get into trouble with them, it will disturb the destiny of the country."
The more I listened, the more mysterious it became. I didn’t expect that the number of ghosts under the ground was so huge that it could disturb the fate of the country.
Seeing that the three of us were dumbfounded, the driver seemed very satisfied. He smiled and said, "You didn't expect it, right? Building a subway is so troublesome. This means that we are a thousand-year-old city, and it will not happen in any younger city."
This kind of thing.”
Dahuang was still satisfied after hearing this, and quickly asked: "Master, what happened next? How did you negotiate with the ghost underground?"
The driver smiled and said: "Later...it seems that these experts united and negotiated with the ghosts underground. The final result of the negotiations was to arrange a train every night for them to ride, called
Pulling a ghost train. But when the subway is in normal operation, these ghosts cannot appear easily to scare people. This is also a rule of thumb. Don't mess with the river."
It suddenly dawned on me that I finally knew the origin of the ghost car.
The driver added: "Also, the operating hours of the subway cannot be too long. Once past 11:30, all lines must be given over to the underground ghosts, otherwise they will not be happy."
I nodded and thought, that’s it. In fact, although this city can’t be called a city that never sleeps, it is still lively after 11 o’clock in the evening. I often wonder why the subway’s operating time can’t be set later so that people can
More people can travel more conveniently. Now I understand the reason after listening to the driver's explanation.
Dahuang was also satisfied after hearing this, and praised: "Master, I really didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable? Then how did your buddy make so much money later? Could it be that he is the driver of the ghost car?"
The driver nodded and said: "No, he is one of the first drivers to pull a ghost car. He cannot talk or look back while driving, because the car is full of ghosts. If he turns back, no matter how courageous he is, he will be scared to death...
…But their first batch of drivers’ wages were so high that they bought a house in the city within two years…I’m so envious…”
Dahuang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, he drives the subway to attract ghosts, you drive the bus to attract ghosts, different roads lead to the same destination, different roads lead to the same destination..."
The driver was speechless and just kept smoking. We had a good chat along the way, and we arrived at the county town in a blink of an eye.
The three of us didn't want to delay any longer, so we quickly changed to the overnight train and went directly from the county seat to the city. After a whole night of tossing, it was already past five o'clock in the morning when we returned to the city.
It's already dawn at around five o'clock in the summer. As soon as I see the sun, I feel indescribably comfortable. After all, we got a lot of dirt on us that night. Although nothing serious happened, I still feel weak in my heart.
.
Especially Rhubarb, there was not even a good piece of meat on the arm that was scratched by the old lady. Originally, when I saw him taking action, I thought he was quite handsome and must be an expert, but I didn’t know that even experts make mistakes sometimes.
As soon as we returned to the rental house, we washed up hastily and prepared to fall asleep. Because the rental house was too small, Dahuang and I slept on the double bed, and the old cat could only sleep on the sofa.
I discussed with them that they could stay here, but they had to share the room fee with me. Otherwise, it would be too much pressure for me to support two grown men by myself.
They were also open-minded and hit it off immediately. After I took a shower, I lay on the bed and fell asleep...
It was a dark sleep, and I didn’t know what time it was, but my cell phone suddenly rang loudly.
I quickly got up and picked up my phone. The caller ID turned out to be Xu Mengyun.
This is a famous goddess in our school. Is it possible that because of our previous revolutionary friendship, she has become dependent on me? I looked at the time again and saw that it was only after seven in the morning. I had just slept for a little more than an hour.
I answered the phone lazily, and just as I was about to say hello to the goddess with my magnetic voice, Xu Mengyun's panicked voice came over the phone: "Lin Yang, come to my dormitory quickly, something happened..."
"
When I heard this, I was already more energetic. I quickly asked her while getting dressed: "What's wrong, Mengyun? Didn't you successfully exorcise the ghost? What happened again?"
Xu Mengyun's voice trembled violently, with a hint of crying, and she said: "Lin Yang, our dormitory... seems to be attracting ghosts. Come and have a look..."
I immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. I quickly got up and wiped my face. Before I had time to call Lao Mao and Dahuang, I rushed towards Xu Mengyun's dormitory.
When I arrived downstairs at Xu Mengyun's dormitory, I saw a patrol car just driving away.
I frowned. Could it be that something happened to someone in her dormitory?
Xu Mengyun's dormitory building is on the third floor. You can see the balcony of their dormitory from downstairs. Because the dormitory aunt is very strict, boys are not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory unless accompanied by a girl.
I had no choice but to stand downstairs and shout: "Xu Mengyun! Xu Mengyun!"
A few minutes later, Xu Mengyun hurriedly came downstairs wearing pajamas. Her big white legs swayed so much that I almost went blind. There were tears on her face. As soon as she saw me, she hurried over and took my arm and said: "
Lin Yang, it’s not good, a classmate in our dormitory seems to be possessed by a ghost..."
I was stunned and thought to myself: "Fortunately, it's just a ghost that's possessed me, and no one has died yet." I quickly asked her, "Why is a ghost possessed me? Tell me about it."
Xu Mengyun quickly took me upstairs. I felt that the entire atmosphere in the girls' dormitory had become a bit gloomy, and I could tell that something bad had been provoked.
On the third floor, Mengyun's dormitory was in the outermost one. As soon as I entered the door, I first smelled the unique fragrance of the girls' dormitory, and then I saw her two roommates sitting beside the bed with helpless expressions.
I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and we were happy together.
But at this critical moment, I was not in the mood to appreciate the good figure of my female classmate, so I quickly glanced around. As soon as I took a look, I was immediately shocked. I saw nothing on the floral curtains beside the window of Mengyun’s dormitory.
I know who wrote four bright red characters:
eye for eye.
The four big characters were shocking, just written on the pure white floral curtains, still floating there gently in the morning breeze.
I was immediately stunned. I understood the meaning of these four words very well. The person who wrote these four words must be a relative of Meng Erbai...
What Lao Xie said is right. This time, what we have encountered may be really difficult to deal with...
However, this was not all the problem, because I suddenly heard a muttering, and looking along the sound, I saw a girl nestled on the bed deep in the dormitory, muttering something in a low voice...
