unfortunate black cat

Chapter 52

June 25th, heavy rain.

Donghu City, Chaopan District, Langxiang Street.

In a slightly dilapidated bus station, Zhang Xian, a company employee who came back from get off work late, was waiting for the No. 28 bus to the eastern district.

Recently, he has been working overtime, and he often can't leave the company until after nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, only the No. 28 Night Line, which runs overnight, can take him home.

28 is a particularly old bus.

Although it is a remote suburban route, such an old model is still very rare in the city.

It's like a rare animal that is on the verge of extinction, but this rare animal is really not beautiful or pleasing enough.

If you have to do something, a more accurate metaphor.

It is probably like an old man in the country who is dying, talking about his plain and regretful past.

It looked pitiful and deplorable.

Yes, old things and past events.

These two words always go very well together.

As for Zhang Xian, he actually has a lot to do with this No. 28 bus.

He has been in this car for more than ten years.

From the beginning of junior high school until now.

He never left the city.

Similarly, there is no 28 road.

Even the car model has not changed, and the urban planning seems to have forgotten this old and remote area.

As a result, the things here have not changed in more than ten years.

Well, but that's not quite right.

In fact, the No. 28 bus was completely renewed once.

Sitting by the bus platform, silently recalling Zhang Xian, a former employee of the company, he suddenly thought about it.

When exactly was it changed?

That was probably when he was in high school.

To be honest, it was already ten years ago.

At that time, people's travel was not as convenient as it is now, especially in places like Chaopan District, where there are no towns or towns.

There is only one bus No. 28.Although the running thread is much shorter than it is today.

But if you miss it, you still have to wait an extra [-] minutes in front of the platform.

I still remember that it was a summer afternoon.

He came home from school and missed his car.

I thought it was just ordinary bad luck, but it wasn't too much of a hindrance.

As long as you do your homework on the platform for a while, or read a book for a while, the bus will come.

However, after waiting for more than two hours, the car never appeared again.

He still remembers the sweltering heat of that summer and the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings.

In the end, there was really no other way, so Zhang Xian could only make a phone call from a nearby phone booth and asked his father to pick him up on a scooter.

As for why I didn't just walk home, it was because the road was too dark and too far away.

At the same time, it was also because of this incident that he chose to live in school directly after the first year of high school.

As for the bus that day, why it never came.

Zhang Xian later heard that it was because of a murder in the car.

Three people died and the car crashed.

It fell into the East Lake for four or five days and was not recovered.

Later, the No. 28 bus was replaced with a new one.

Even added one.

The two cars drove alternately, which shortened the waiting time to about 10 minutes, making it much easier for Zhang Xian to go home during the holidays.

It's not all bad, it's just a pity that the old car...

In the corner of the back seat, there should still be graffiti that I didn't understand when I was a child.

If we can see each other again now.

Perhaps, it can also bring back a lot of memories of the youthful years.

So thinking about it.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xian's mouth.

The car came, with an old exhaust note.

The employees of the company returned to reality, stepped into the car, and prepared to go home.

In a trance, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

But all of a sudden, I couldn't tell what was wrong.

Until he walked to the back of the car and sat down as usual.

There, he suddenly saw a bunch of messy graffiti.

……

"So, why don't you buy a backpack?"

Inside the bus heading to Donghu City, the young Bai Jie was sitting in a corner with no one nearby.

And Jiang Sheng lay on his forehead, wagging his tail, and complaining in an inaudible voice.

It is because of such a shape that they are the focus of the crowd's attention along the way.

Even at this moment, the black cat could still feel it.

A few people were secretly looking at themselves.

There's no way, after all, it's really rare to see cats that will lie on people in a peaceful manner.

Vaguely, it even heard that a certain bear child had already started pestering his mother about raising a cat.

Don't cause trouble for adults outside.

kid!

Dissatisfied, Jiang Sheng stretched out his paw, and patted Bai Jie's sunglasses with his palm.

However, Bai Jie just supported the mirror frame with his hands, and replied with a smile on his face at the same time.

"Well, how should I put it, I like the feeling of furry things lying on my head?"

Pets are not allowed on the bus.

However, the management of private stations is not as strict as that of airports, and there are often passengers returning to their hometowns, carrying chickens from the countryside as luggage.

So Bai Jie just begged for mercy, and the staff looked at his "special situation" and let him and Jiang Sheng get into the car softly.

As for what reason did Bai Jie use?

But this is the cat I have raised since childhood.

That's what the boy who was blocked at the time said.

He even took off his sunglasses, and begged the elder sister who was in charge of the security check with pain on his face, with his beautiful facial features that surprised Jiang Sheng.

Because of the illness, I only have it as a friend, and I am really reluctant to part with it.

Please, just let me take it.

It is very well behaved, and I will take care of it so that it will not affect other passengers.

Then, under Jiang Sheng's blank gaze, the dazed lady put Bai Jie into the station.

Are you kidding me, the principle of your work.

Or is it that a little boy with milky white hair and pink eyes is so lethal to women?

"I like furry things, right? How about I catch a caterpillar and throw it in your clothes?"

The black cat, whose face was completely changed due to jealousy, gritted its teeth in a rare way.

"Haha, alright, alright."

He reached out and lifted the black cat off his head, and gently put it in his arms.

Bai Jie leaned back on the seat behind him, and explained in a low voice apologetically.

"Actually, I was afraid that you didn't like closed spaces, so I didn't buy a cat backpack. Sorry, since you don't like other people's sights, I will pay attention next time."

"I..." Unexpectedly, the other party was at a loss for words to take care of his own Jiang Sheng.After holding back for a long time, he looked away and muttered.

"I don't have so many trivial requests."

"I know, I know."

Putting his hand on the black cat's head and touching it, Bai Jie lifted Jiang Sheng to the window again.

"However, the scenery of this long-distance route is really good. You have been in the laboratory for so long, are you sure you don't want to see it. For this reason, I bought the best travel ticket."

"Cut, extravagance and waste."

"Haha, my salary is a lot, it's not bad."

In fact, in order not to let other travelers appear beside him, so as to prevent the spreading disaster from spreading to others.

Bai Jie has even reserved all the seats in the next three rows.

Well, this may be one of the important reasons why he can bring the cat in the car.
