chapter 4 No. 2386 HuaiYuan road

As soon as Wu said what he said, I was dumbfounded.

The words "Ryan Tang" were told to me by Don himself, and they are unmistakable. Now Wu says that he was the first No. 13 driver, and he has been dead for ten years!

If you think about it carefully, in the year since I came to the company, I have never found that Don had spoken to any other colleague except me.

When I'm with you, it's just the two of us.

Old Tang was never present at the company's meetings. Every time I asked him, he would excuse himself by saying that he worked in the logistics department and repaired cars and didn't need to attend meetings.

Just last night, I drank with Don until dawn. I recalled this scene in my mind. It was so scary to think about it that the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

Wu stood aside and saw me stunned, and said after a while

"I said, you kid didn't deliberately make up a ghost story for me just to stop taking this job."

I swallowed my saliva and asked Wu seriously

"Brother Ang, I'm not kidding you. Is Ryan Tang really the first No. 13 driver to die ten years ago?"

Wu sighed, lowered his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Brother, I was not a captain ten years ago. This Ryan Tang was a colleague of mine. His family was poor. When the company first opened this line, no one was willing to do it. In the end, it was him who took the initiative and asked for more. Earn two dollars, but unexpectedly something happened within a month, and all the people in the car died.

That was the biggest traffic accident that year. Can I remember this correctly? "

When I heard this, I was on the verge of collapse. Although Wu was drunk, I knew that his words were definitely not nonsense. I started to stutter when I spoke.

"Wu, Brother Angkor, this, I really can't drive this bus No. 13, it's too evil, I..."

Before I finished speaking, Wu interrupted me and said

"Li, stop talking, it's my fault.

But I don’t have any bad intentions. I just see that you are the youngest in our team and think that you are very energetic and may be able to control this line.

Okay, if you really don’t want to do it anymore, I’ll apply with the above tomorrow and try to hire an external driver.”

After Wu said this, he seemed to be in a bad mood. He put out his cigarette and patted me on the shoulder.

"Brother, I see that your mental state is not very good. I don't care whether it is true or not that you said you saw Don. You should have a good rest for two days before going to work."

I nodded, said no more, turned around and walked to the dormitory.

Wu called me a few more words from behind, but I ignored him. At this time, I really needed a good rest.

The person I always thought was my best friend turned out not to be human.

In this world, except for hypocritical leaders, selfish colleagues, and old ghosts who have been dead for ten years, I don’t have a single true friend.

Thinking of this, I couldn't hold back the tears in my eyes. I felt that I was a pitiful person, and for a moment I wasn't so scared anymore.

When I returned to the dormitory, I lay on the bed like a zombie. I didn't have the strength to take off my clothes and shoes. I looked at the two wine glasses on the table and sighed deeply.

"I don't know what evil I did in my previous life, but why have I been involved in everything now?"

Looking back on what happened in the past few days, there are enough things to make a movie. If Don is a ghost, then what he said must not be true.

Why did he tell me about the car accident ten years ago?

Also, he said that the old lady who was riding in my car had met all three drivers before the accident. What did he mean by telling me this?

I couldn't help but laugh as I thought about it. This ghost really has some free time. He wants to kill people and he can be taken away quickly. This fucking pretender is having a good time?

Just when I was moody, my phone received a text message from Wanda.

"Patrick Li, have you arrived at the company safely?"

It's already 1:40 in the morning, and she must be awake because she's thinking about me.

This is indeed the most vulnerable time in my heart. Looking at this text message, I suddenly felt very warm. In this world, true feelings still exist.

I simply replied to her, "Arrived safely, go to sleep now."

After replying to the text message, I put my phone on the table and got ready to sleep. Inadvertently, I found a note under the cup that Don used last night.

I turned up curiously and opened the note. An address was neatly written on it.

"Littoral region, No. 2386 HuaiYuan road, find Terry Liu and ask him to help you."

I suddenly remembered that last night Don said that he knew a gentleman with profound Taoism and wanted to introduce him to me to ward off evil.

This Terry Liu should be the upright gentleman he mentioned.

I crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it into the trash can nearby, and cursed

"Go to hell, ghost, introduce me to Mr. Ghost Hunter, are you trying to be a grandson?"

Although I threw the note away, I am familiar with this address and I thought to myself

"No. 2386 HuaiYuan road, damn you, the license plate number of the No. 13 bus I drive is 2386, how can it be such a coincidence?"

My mind is in chaos right now, and I don’t want to have a good sleep, but all I can think about is Don

In a blink of an eye, it was almost dawn.

I sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to light a cigarette. I reached into my pocket and took out a crumpled cigarette paper. I opened it and read:

"Young man, I can see that you have put dirty things on the bus. I have ridden in your car twice, and you are the only one who let me smoke in the car. You are a nice person. If you want to survive, go to No. 2386 HuaiYuan road to see my boss tomorrow. Liu"

This is a piece of paper for smoking cigarettes. Judging from the content, it should be written by the old man who sat in my car to smoke these two nights.

In fact, I always thought that this old man didn't look bad, but I believed the old lady's words and thought he was not a human being. After Wanda greeted him, I was sure that I had mistakenly blamed this old man.

"Why is it still 2386 HuaiYuan road? What's going on? Is this person really there?"

I muttered in my mind, thinking that this matter was getting more and more complicated. It is said that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. This person knows a lot as he has lived a long time. This old man can tell that I have caused trouble. What he said, It should be reliable.

I lit my cigarette and thought about it carefully.

Finally, I decided to trust this old man and risk my life. When it gets brighter, I will go to No. 2386 HuaiYuan road to meet Terry Liu. Is he a human or a ghost? I have to find out what happened.

I had something on my mind, and although I didn't sleep all night, I didn't feel sleepy.

It was already bright at six o'clock. I washed my face and hurried out the door. I had a simple breakfast at a roadside stall and then went straight to No. 2386 HuaiYuan road.

HuaiYuan road is the largest "slum area" in the city. The residential areas here are all chimney buildings that are nearly 100 years old. The floors are peeling off and the residential areas are dirty and messy.

Most of the people who live here are migrant workers, and some have seven or eight people crammed into a room of less than ten square meters.

There was an old man wearing a white vest sitting at the gate of the community with squinting eyes. I walked over and asked

"Old man, let me ask you a question. Do you know that this community is Terry Liu?"

The old man seemed to be too old and his ears were a bit deaf. As if he didn't hear, he still closed his eyes and leisurely flapped the fan in his hand.

I raised my voice and said, "Old man, do you know Terry Liu?"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and I sat down on the ground in shock. The old man's eyes were filled with white eyes!

At this time, a woman in her forties ran over not far away. Seeing me sitting on the ground, she quickly stepped forward and pulled me up. She smiled and said

"I'm sorry, my father has been blind for decades, so I didn't scare you."

I shook my head and asked her

"I'm here to find someone, Terry Liu, do you know him?"

The woman was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard the name, then quickly regained her composure, smiled and said

"I know him. Terry Liu lives in this community. He is a fortune teller and ghost hunter. You probably have something to ask for, right?"

What this woman said surprised me. I didn’t expect that Terry Liu was really a decent person.

I nodded and said, "Sister, where does he live? Can you show me the way?"

The woman slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, unfortunately, I saw him going out this morning and said he went to the city to buy things and had to come back in the evening."

I hummed and said, "That's okay, I'll come over later."

The woman nodded to me, then turned around and helped the blind old man up and walked into the community.

I returned to the dormitory and wanted to confirm whether this old man smoking was trustworthy, so I sent a text message to Wanda.

"Wanda, let me ask you something. The old man you greeted when you were riding in my car last night. I saw you call him sixth uncle. Are you familiar with him?"

It didn't take long for Wanda to reply to the text message, "He is from our village. He lives not far from my parents' house. He has watched me grow up since childhood. What's wrong?"

I read Wanda's text message and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, this old man is trustworthy. I thought, I will go to see Terry Liu tonight, and the next day I will go to Tangwazi Village to question this old man. It seems like he is the only one who can help me now.

After staying for a while, it got dark, so I quickly took a taxi to 2386 HuaiYuan road. This place is relatively remote and has no entertainment facilities. Although it was only seven o'clock in the evening, there were already very few people on the streets nearby.

When I came to the gate of this community again, I always felt that it had a depressing atmosphere.

Just as I was about to walk into the community to inquire about Terry Liu's residence, I suddenly discovered that the blind old man who had arrived during the day was still sitting at the door, but at this time, he had his eyes open.

Yes, open those eyes with no black eyes, only white eyes.

It was not dark yet, and although I had been mentally prepared, seeing this scene clearly still made me break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, the woman who had been there during the day came out of nowhere. When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Here, Terry Liu is back. Let's go, I'll take you there."

I nodded, feeling that something was wrong with this woman, but I couldn’t put my finger on it, she just felt so passionate that it made people uncomfortable.

I followed this woman into the community and entered the building through the small door on the side.

This community is really bad. There are dim incandescent light bulbs placed in the corridors, and the stairs can barely be seen.

There is a lot of garbage scattered here and there, and there is an unpleasant smell everywhere.

I covered my mouth and followed her. I wanted to ask her why no one had cleaned her up, but I felt that this woman was just walking with her head down and didn't seem to mean to talk to me.

Just like that, after walking around in the corridor and going up to the eighth floor, they came to a broken wooden door covered with small advertisements. The woman said coldly without looking back.

"We're here. This is Terry Liu house. You can go in. I have to go home first."

After that, she continued going upstairs.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, my phone rang. It was a text message from Wanda.

"By the way, sixth uncle called me out of nowhere this afternoon and asked me to tell you that the old Liu you were looking for was called Lalo Liu, and he said he must not look for the wrong one."

As soon as I read this text message, I heard a "squeak" and the door of Terry Liu's house opened.
