Chapter 0487 – She, Followed
”Is it because it’s raining outside and some passengers sat directly here after their clothes got wet?” Xiao Gu reached out and touched the backrest, it didn’t feel like rain, it felt weird, he couldn’t tell, “I’d better change my seat.”
The bus drove steadily, the scenery on both sides flying backwards, but he didn’t feel any bumps.
Standing up, Xiao Gu scanned around, there were very few passengers on the last bus, only six counting him.
The first three rows on the left are empty, the fourth row sits an old lady, she has been looking out the window, seems to have something on her mind.
The fourth row on the right was occupied by a woman who was playing with her cell phone.
She was about thirty years old, dressed in a fashionable way, should be the staff of a nearby company, working overtime until now, taking the last bus home.
Xiao Gu himself sat in the middle of the bus, behind him was a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties, holding a three or four year old child in her arms.
This woman’s body is seriously out of shape, the top and bottom of the general thick, face also has hemp, but the child in her arms is clear-eyed, with her at all unlike.
Further back, in the last row of the bus sat a student, he was carrying a schoolbag, coat was wet by the rain, like just out of the cram school.
”Students are under so much pressure nowadays.” Xiao Gu was about to withdraw his gaze when the male student sitting in the last row of the bus suddenly raised his head and locked eyes with him for a moment, but the student quickly averted his gaze again.
”Why is his face not bloody at all, his body is still shivering, is he sick?”
The passengers in this car Xiao Gu looked around and didn’t find anything strange.
He changed his position and sat near the rear door.
Playing a homicidal maniac in a haunted house is also a physical job that requires running back and forth, and sometimes, in order to create surprises, one has to follow the boss’s command to take the long way around and block the front of the tourists ahead of time through secret passages.
Tossing around like this for a day, Xiao Gu was also very tired.
He leaned against the back of the chair, sleepiness came, and his eyelids became a little heavy.
When Xiao Gu was about to fall asleep, the back of his head was lightly touched by something.
Turning his head to look, he saw a small paper ball on the ground, “Did that student throw it?”
Xiao Gu picked up the paper ball, he originally thought it was a prank, but when he thought back to the expression on that student’s face just now, he was a little unsure in his heart.
Holding the note, Xiao Gu glanced back, that student was cowering in the last row with his head down, as if that note was not thrown by him just now.
Without opening his mouth to ask, Xiao Gu unfolded the note in his hand, on which a sentence was scribbled with a water pen – don’t sleep, be careful of sitting through the station.
A very common tip, Xiao Gu knew that the other party had good intentions, he put the note away, smiled at the boy in the last row, and said softly, “It’s okay, I got off at the end of the line.”
He deliberately lowered his voice, but because no one in the bus had originally opened their mouths and it was very quiet, he spoke much louder than he thought he would.
As soon as the three words Terminal Station left his mouth, the bus suddenly shook in a small way, and as Gu Feiyu looked towards the driver’s cab, he realized that the driver was also observing him from the rearview mirror.
This driver was wearing the uniform of the Jiujiang Bus Company, his jacket was a bit worn out, his throat knots rolled and his face was covered in sweat, he seemed to be very nervous and scared.
Hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, the driver, like the student, avoided Xiao Gu’s line of sight.
”What is he afraid of?” Xiao Gu was a bit puzzled, the driver looked at him strangely just now, as if he was trying to convey some message to Xiao Gu.
The rain got heavier and heavier, inside and outside the bus were two different worlds, Xiao Gu didn’t dare to sleep, he secretly watched the other passengers on the bus.
The bus sped through the rainy night and soon reached the next stop.
Bus number 104 entered the platform, and after stopping, the electronically synthesized voice sounded again.
”Ding! Central Hospital has arrived, passengers getting off the bus, please bring your belongings and get off through the back door.”
The front and back doors opened at the same time, and the raindrops outside fell into the car.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a red string tied around his wrist got on the car from the front door, he was wearing a white coat, presumably a doctor from the Central Hospital.
Standing next to the driver, the doctor searched for change in his pocket, but could not find any.
Seeing that it was raining outside, the driver didn’t bother with the man, signaling him to get on the bus first and then take his time to look for it.
The front door closed, the doctor grabbed the armrest and headed inside the car, he paused for a moment when he passed Xiao Gu, and twisted his head to look at Xiao Gu.
Sitting in his seat, Xiao Gu tilted his head back to meet the doctor’s eyes, and he realized that the doctor was horrible looking, with ugly eyebrows and eyes that bulged outward when he looked at people, as if they were about to fall out.
”Hello ……,” Xiao Gu was really embarrassed by the doctor’s look, stood up, ready to get off and leave directly.
The doctor saw Xiao Gu get up and took the initiative to step back, smiled shyly at Xiao Gu, and sat on the other side of the aisle in a seat side by side with Xiao Gu.
The car was dark, and Xiao Gu vaguely realized that when this doctor smiled just now, his mouth seemed to have no teeth.
He touched the note in his pocket, didn’t stay in his seat for long, and walked directly towards the rear car door.
”I’d better take a taxi back.” Grabbing the handrail, Xiao Gu’s body froze for a moment as he walked to the door of the bus, his face full of incredulity.
Right on the platform outside the back door of the bus, there stood a woman wearing a red raincoat, the woman had her head lowered, her hair sticking together and covering her face.
”Red raincoat? Why is she here? This isn’t that station just now!”
Gu Feiyu froze in the doorway, and the cold, synthesized voice in the car sounded once again.
”Vehicle starting, please sit firmly and hold on, welcome to the unmanned ticketed bus number 104, passengers boarding the bus please move to the rear door, next stop Hong’s Restaurant.”
The rear doors slowly closed, and it was only then that Xiao Gu reacted, “Why did that woman in the raincoat appear outside the Central Hospital stop? She seemed to be a little closer to the rear car door! She’s been following me?”
Sweating on his forehead, Xiao Gu at this moment was similar to what the driver had just shown, he gripped the handrail tightly and didn’t immediately return to his position.
”Are you …… not feeling well?” A grim voice suddenly came out from behind him, and that doctor stared at Xiao Gu’s back heart.
”It’s fine.” Xiao Gu’s sat back down, he lowered his voice: “Older brother, did you just see a woman standing outside the rear car door, she was wearing a red raincoat.”
”Red raincoat?” The doctor shook his head, “Did you see it wrong?”
”No way.” Xiao Gu turned his head again and rushed the student in the last row, “Did you see that woman just now? She was standing right in the middle of the station!”
The student didn’t answer Xiao Gu’s question, he didn’t even turn his head, he was focused on the rain outside the window, but his hand kept groping in his school bag as if he was looking for something.
