The zipper of the schoolbag was halfway unzipped. The student looked very nervous. His hand was holding something, but he did not take it out of the schoolbag.
"Fruit knife?" Xiao Gu faintly saw a reflective object through the gap in the opening. He didn't know if it was a mirror or a knife.
The bus had started, and Xiao Gu returned to his original position and sat down. His eyelids were twitching, and he felt a little uneasy.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and the buildings outside can no longer be seen clearly through the glass.
It was quiet inside the car, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"The people in this car are so strange."
Xiao Gu leaned against the car window, and the doctor who was across the aisle from him would look towards him from time to time, with an inexplicable smile on his face, as if he had discovered a delicate work of art, and his expression was very strange.
Taking out his phone, Xiao Gu swiped the screen and clicked on the selfie option.
He raised his phone and looked at the male student sitting in the last row through the screen.
The child seemed to be a little motion sick. He put his schoolbag on his knees, his expression became increasingly pale, and cold sweat was still oozing from his forehead. However, from beginning to end, he kept his hands in his schoolbag and did not take it out.
"Not feeling well?" Xiao Gu was a little worried about the child, but before he could stand up, the student sitting in the last row noticed Xiao Gu peeking at him through his cell phone.
The child seemed unwilling to be photographed. He covered his face with his hands, quietly pointed at the doctor in a white coat next to Xiao Gu, and then waved his hand gently.
"Is he reminding me that the doctor has a problem?"
After the students completed their gestures, they lowered their heads, hugged their schoolbags, and said nothing.
Xiao Gu put down his cell phone and glanced at the doctor next to him out of the corner of his eye. He suddenly remembered a piece of news he had seen before getting in the car - the latest developments in the corpse theft case at the Central Hospital, and a crawling figure was captured on surveillance.
Clicking on the webpage, the report was accompanied by a very blurry picture, which was suspected to have been taken by hospital surveillance.
There was a man in a white coat, crawling quickly on all fours on the ground, and got into the morgue.
"White coat?" Xiao Gu enlarged the picture. The light in the car was very dark. He looked at the picture with all his concentration: "I can't see the face clearly, but the body shape is somewhat similar."
A cell phone ring suddenly rang in the car. Xiao Gu, who was highly focused, was startled. He covered his cell phone and raised his head.
The ringtone came from the bag of the woman in business attire in front of Xiao Gu. The woman took out her cell phone and looked at the caller ID. She seemed to be in a bad mood instantly.
After answering the call, a man's anxious voice came from the other side of the phone: "Huang Ling, where are you? Are you still working overtime? I see that all the lights in your company building are out."
"I came out a long time ago, where are you? You promised to pick me up, but I've been waiting for you for half an hour and you still haven't seen you!" Huang Ling was also very aggrieved. It was raining and she worked overtime so late and was exhausted.
Waiting at the door of the company until now.
"You came out? Why didn't I see you?"
"Stop pretending, this isn't the first time you've been late. You've never kept your promise to me. I've really had enough of you!"
"I know I didn't do well before, but I really wasn't late this time. I stood guard at the door of your company at six o'clock and watched all the lights in the whole building slowly go out, but I didn't see you come out?"
The man on the other side of the phone became more and more anxious: "Where are you? I hear your voice is not right. Is that old dog giving you a hard time again?!"
"He didn't make things difficult for me, I just felt tired." Huang Ling's speech slowed down, and she looked out the window at the city shrouded in heavy rain: "Jia Ming, I'm not afraid that life will be hard and tiring every day, but at least you have to give me some help.
I just have to go all out. I'm about to turn thirty, and I don't want to work until seven or eight o'clock every night, and then sit on the last bus with only three or four people, and go back to the rented house to cook for you."
"Xiaoling, I have found a way to make a fortune. We came to Jiujiang from our hometown together and have survived so many years. Please give me a little more time."
Huang Ling looked at the heavy rain outside the window, her eyes a little numb: "Okay."
"Where are you? I'm going to pick you up now..."
Huang Ling hung up the phone before the man finished speaking, and stuffed her phone into her backpack.
"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite." Xiao Gu sighed in his heart. He had just seen Huang Ling dressed very fashionably and thought he was a rich man. But when he took a closer look, he found that most of the clothes he wore were cheap knockoffs.
, but because she has a better temperament, she looks very beautiful.
"Ding! Hong's Restaurant has arrived. Passengers getting off the bus, please take your belongings with you and get off the bus through the back door."
The bus unknowingly arrived at the next stop, and the front and rear doors opened.
No one got on the bus this time. Xiao Gu glanced outside the platform through the window. Sure enough, the crazy woman in the red raincoat was still on the platform. She seemed to be a little closer to the bus.
"What a ghost." Xiao Gu was so flustered that he sat close to the rear door. If the red raincoat got in the car, he would be the first person he saw: "Will this woman keep following me?"
Shall I go home? She appears at every platform, so will she wait for me at the terminal in the end?"
The front and rear doors of the bus began to close, and just as the back door was about to close, a child's coughing sound came from the middle of the bus.
The middle-aged woman holding the child gently patted the child's back, but it was of no use. The child coughed even more.
"It seems that I have a fever. Do you know how to take care of the child? There is a big temperature difference between day and night. Why do you just wear a single coat for the child?" Huang Ling heard the child's cough and became a little irritated.
"I am helping my relatives take care of their children..." The middle-aged woman's voice was very rough and sounded like a man's. She forced out an ugly smile and did not feed the child any medicine or water. She only patted the child's back.
The child's cough became more and more severe, and his body was shaking slightly.
"In this case, it's better to go directly to the hospital." Xiao Gu stood up, took off his coat, and handed it to the middle-aged woman: "Wrap the baby first."
"Okay." The middle-aged woman hesitated and took the clothes and covered the child, but the child was still coughing.
Xiao Gu took his cell phone and the seventeen yuan he took out of his coat pocket and walked towards his seat.
The car door had been closed tightly, and just as he was about to reach his seat, there was a "pop" sound from the rear door, and a skinny man put his hand on the door.
"When the vehicle starts, please sit still and hold on. You are welcome to take the No. 104 unmanned ticketing bus. Passengers who get on the bus, please move to the back door and the next stop is Liwan Mall."
The electronic synthesizer sounded, the bus started, and the hand quickly disappeared.
"Can't anyone else see the woman in the raincoat?" Xiao Gu sat back in his seat. He looked back at the platform, and the red figure was gradually becoming blurry.
