Chapter 335 About why the curtains need to be drawn on the train at night
The distance from Lianghu Province to Shanghai is not too close. In addition, transportation is underdeveloped in this era. Even with the fastest green car with a T, it will take about ten hours to get to Shanghai from Wusa City.
So Yang Jianguang, who set off in the afternoon, specially bought a sleeper berth so that he could sleep on the train.
He also made an appointment with Huang Mao. If he could arrive at the station the next morning, he could just ask him to pick him up then.
Yang Jianguang's seat was on the lower bunk, and he paid a lot of money when he bought it.
When he set off from Wusa City, there was no one in his sleeper car, but many passengers came one after another from the later stops.
Several men and women who looked like college students came in carrying large and small bags with tired faces. They didn't chat with Yang Jianguang for a few words and went directly to their beds.
Soon, there was only one upper berth left on the train which was temporarily unoccupied.
In fact, because the upper berth in a train is the narrowest, you can often hit the roof of the car when you sit up, so people are reluctant to buy it, and the price is also the cheapest.
After the train started moving again, a group of students started chatting with each other.
Yang Jianguang didn't care so much, let alone take the initiative to chat. He sat on the train. As time passed, the scenery outside the window continued to loom in the darkness.
After driving for a certain distance, the conductor also pushed the car over.
"Peanuts, melon seeds, mineral water, do you want anything? It's the last wave, it's the last wave."
When they walked to Yang Jianguang's carriage, the conductor saw Yang Jianguang looking out, with the curtains not drawn, and Zhou frowned and reminded him.
"Sir, would you please draw the curtains?"
Yang Jianguang, who was looking out in awe, finally reacted, nodded, and took the initiative to draw the curtains.
In sleeper trains, there is indeed a rule to close the curtains at night.
When he was away from home, Yang Jianguang was not so domineering and insisted on confronting other staff members.
Seeing Yang Jianguang conscientiously closing the curtains, the conductor didn't say anything and pushed his trolley forward.
But a male student sleeping on top of Yang Jianguang looked at this scene and rolled his eyes. He seemed to be deliberately trying to amuse the female student opposite him, so he started telling strange stories about gods and gods.
"Hey, Xiaorou, do you know why the sleeper berths on the train have to close the curtains at night?"
Hearing this, the girl named Xiaorou thought for a while and shook her head.
"Hey, it's true when you say it. Every time I take the train home, I am asked to close the curtains at night."
"However, I don't know what the reason is?"
After the person named Xiaorou finished speaking, the other students also became obviously interested. They started talking to each other one after another.
"Yeah.
There is no light outside at night, so why do you have to draw the bed curtain?"
"In addition to closing the curtains, I heard that if you enter a tunnel at night, you must not look outside, otherwise something bad will happen."
What these people say to each other becomes more and more outrageous.
Xiaorou was also a little scared in her heart, she hurriedly said aloud, "What is going on?
Xiaojun, please explain quickly."
Seeing this, the corners of Xiaojun's mouth slightly raised, showing that his conspiracy had succeeded.
Girls are also afraid of this, isn’t it because of these strange legends about gods and gods?
As long as he scares Xiaorou, maybe tonight, the other party will crawl into his bed in the middle of the night because of fear.
Think of this.
Xiaojun could no longer hold back his inner excitement, cleared his throat, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a sinister voice.
"Actually, one of my uncles told me this accidentally."
"I have an uncle who works as a police officer on the train.
I often ask him to help me buy tickets."
"I remember one time when I was drinking, I asked him why every time he passed a station or tunnel at night, the train staff would take the initiative to come over and close the curtains?"
"My uncle took a sip of wine and couldn't control his mouth. He said that he had a reason to close the curtains.
Not only to improve the comfort and security during the journey, but also for other reasons.
If at some point the flight attendant forgets to close the curtains and you are right next to the window, you must remember to close them."
"If you forget and you are too late when the train arrives at the station, remember not to look out the window. There is a lesson there."
"As for why..."
The more Xiaojun spoke, the lower his voice became. The little girl opposite, Xiaorou, was so frightened that she shrank into a ball under the quilt and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
When Xiaojun saw this, he couldn't wait to say.
"Because the train pulls people during the day, but it doesn't necessarily pull at night. It only pulls people."
“And in order to save money and not disturb the residents.
Train tracks are generally built in the wilderness, often occupying many wild graves."
"So at night, if a train passes by where they are staying, they may lie down at the window and look at you. If you don't close the curtains and look at them, they are likely to find you!"
"For example..." At this point, Xiaojun suddenly opened the curtains.
The sound suddenly increased.
"This is it now!"
That's how people are, the more terrifying they are, the more curious they become.
So even though I was scared to death inside, while listening to Xiaojun, a group of students also looked at the curtains on the windows from time to time.
It was for this reason that when Xiaojun pulled the curtains, the sudden loud sound startled the people in the carriage.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
All kinds of screams were heard, but Xiaojun was holding his belly and smiling proudly.
Xiaorou was so frightened that she got into the quilt and didn't dare to crawl out for a long time.
It looks like I won't have a good night's sleep tonight.
And just when Xiaojun was feeling proud and waiting for Xiaorou to come to his door, the fat boy in the bunk above him suddenly whispered.
"Xiaojun, let me sleep with you."
Xiaojun was dumbfounded. Before he could refuse, the other party climbed directly into his bed and squeezed Xiaojun into a crack.
Xiaojun:……
Seeing this group of people playing around, Yang Jianguang shook his head, looking extremely calm.
This kind of saying is everywhere. Why should the curtains be drawn on trains at night?
Don't look behind you at night, don't pick up money on the ground, and so on.
There are a lot of legends like this, but are these ghost legends true or false?
That's not necessarily the case.
Of course, he also knows very well that many things cannot be explained clearly by science.
For example, he once saw with his own eyes that a neighbor's child suddenly had a high fever and was in a daze. No matter how he went to the hospital, he couldn't see clearly. He was held by his mother at night to call out the ghost, and he was fine the next day.
You don’t have to believe in things like this, but you must maintain a certain degree of awe.
Just as Yang Jianguang was thinking in his heart, the train also stopped and arrived at the new station.
After a while, an aunt came to the bed where Yang Jianguang thought there was no one.
Yang Jianguang didn't care so much. He packed his things and got ready to go to bed.
But just at this moment, the aunt suddenly said to Yang Jianguang.
"Young man, my aunt's legs and feet are not good. It's inconvenient to sleep on the top bunk. Can you change the bed with me?"
