The time waiting for the bus was unbearable. Xie Tian took out a sketchbook from his backpack, leaned his back against the wall and started drawing.
I originally wanted to draw a picture of the crowded waiting room, but as I was drawing, I accidentally drew a Pleasant Goat in the crowd. No, or should I say a Warm Goat.
The warm goat looks similar to the pleasant goat, except that its eyes are small crescent moons and the corners of its mouth are slightly pouted with an upward curve.
The time for drawing passed very quickly. Before Xie Tian finished drawing the warm sheep, the entrance to the station started to be crowded with people. Xie Tian put away his sketchbook and stood there waiting for the peak to pass.
It wasn't until he settled down on the train that Xie Tian remembered to check his phone. Sure enough, Ma Yangyang had already replied to him, "You're welcome! Just don't think it's troublesome for me."
Xie Tian thought to himself, how could I bother you first? You are so kind.
Just as he was about to reply, his phone ran out of battery. Xie Tian stared at the darkened screen for a long time, then put the phone back into his pocket and climbed onto the middle berth.
The person on the middle bunk opposite was already on it. She was a young girl. The girl was going back and forth on the bunk, tinkering with sleeping bags and bags. When she looked up and saw Xie Tian, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hi, handsome guy." , where are you going?”
Xie Tian frowned and glanced at him, then put on his clothes and lay down on his side without saying a word.
The train swayed and whined, and the carriage with the lights turned off was bright and dark as it passed by. Xie Tian was a light sleeper and was never able to fall asleep on the train. The most he could do was squint in confusion.
I don’t know when it was, but the cry of a child came from the carriage. The cry was so loud that the parents couldn’t coax them. Within a few minutes, almost everyone in the carriage was woken up.
The girl on the opposite bed tossed and turned, and finally couldn't help but curse.
Naturally, this girl was not the only one who wanted to curse someone when she was woken up in the middle of the night. After a while, several people cursed loudly. I don’t know if it was the child’s father or another man who was a relative, but they started to quarrel. The noise became even more lively, with the cries of children mixed with the noise of a group of people.
Xie Tian lay on the pillow, opened the curtains and looked out at the dark car, with occasional faint lights flashing by.
The noise in the car became more and more fierce. Suddenly, a scream was heard accompanied by a louder cry of the child. A female voice screamed and cried: "Why don't you die? Your own child will also fall."
At this moment, the entire carriage exploded. The girl on the opposite bed knelt down on the edge of the bed and stretched her head to see what was happening over there.
After a while, the flight attendant came, and the lights in the carriage came on. The girl who was lying down to watch the excitement was so frightened that she gasped. A few rows in front of her in the aisle, a woman sat on the ground crying, holding a child in her arms. There was blood, and the child who had just made a high-pitched cry now had no strength to cry.
The people who were arguing just now were also dumbfounded. The flight attendant came over to take a look because it was too noisy. He was frightened when he saw this scene and quickly called his colleagues.
Xie Tian didn't go to see the excitement, but the girl in the opposite bunk was chatting with the two people in the lower bunk. Xie Tian also heard some of it and immediately covered his eyes with his arms.
Soon the flight attendant came over with a first aid kit, and soon a doctor from another carriage also came over. The child was not seriously injured, but he was bleeding a lot. The doctor stopped the bleeding, but The result is hard to say.
The mother of the child could no longer cry. She murmured to the man squatting next to her: "If the child has a problem, I will never let you go."
The man squatting was probably the child's father. Several people were arguing with him at that time. He coaxed and scared the child but it still cried. He was so anxious that he grabbed the child and threw it. He was thinking about you at that time. Don't you want him to stop making noise? I'll see if you can bear the consequences.
When the lights came on and the child's head was covered with blood, he immediately became panicked and frightened. The few people who had been quarreling also secretly returned to their seats, not daring to express their anger at this moment.
Fortunately, there are still ten minutes to go before arriving at a train station in a county-level city. The train has already contacted the hospital closest to the stop, and the ambulance is already on its way from the hospital to the train station.
The staff at the train station accompanied the couple and the child off the train, and the carriage suddenly became quiet. Although many people were still talking about it in whispers, no one dared to say it loudly.
Xie Tian closed his eyes, and his ears were filled with the words of the child's mother: "I will never let you go."
**
When he arrived in City A, Xie Tian had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his whole person was in a depressed and violent mood.
When I got off the bus, the girl on the other side of the bed called him "Life" again, smiled and asked him if he could add her on WeChat.
Xie Tian frowned and stared at her for a long time. He looked at the girl and didn't dare to laugh. Then he looked away and walked in front with his backpack on his back.
After walking for a while, I heard the girl saying contemptuously to others: "Why are you dragging me? He doesn't look like a good person. He might be a violent maniac like the man last night. Oh my god, he might become a murderer in the future. "
Xie Tian paused, holding on to the shoulder straps tightly with both hands, and held back for a long time before forcing himself to move forward.
After leaving the station, Xie Tian got on the shuttle bus to Xicheng. When he arrived at the booked hotel, he remembered that his phone had run out of power and was turned off.
The hotel required a verification code to register, so Xie Tian had to find a place to charge in the hotel lobby. After turning on his phone, several messages popped up, all from "Nuan Yangyang".
"When are you going to City A?"
"Be safe on the road and have a nice trip! O(∩_∩)O!"
"If you're bored on the road, just chat with me. I haven't been to City A yet, so you can tell me about it."
"It's late, have you gone to bed already? Good night!"
They were all messages sent last night. Xie Tian held his phone, typed a few words, then deleted them, typed a few more words, deleted them again, and finally logged out of QQ. "
Nuanyangyang, do you know what darkness is? The kind of darkness that you can never escape, where every time you try to catch a ray of light, you are enveloped in more darkness.
