Li City is my city. This time I am lucky, not a cross-provincial and municipal business.

Shanghe District is a certain distance from my home. I checked the navigation and found that Fangxin Apartment was in a large residential area.

The sequelae of Si Village No. 4 has made me no longer accept haunted houses in remote mountainous areas in the near future. They can cross provinces and cities, at least in the city, and they are residential buildings where people live.

My employer and I used WeChat to explain in detail. No matter what the situation in Fangxin Apartment is, I need to give myself a day of buffering time.

"Have you taken on business again?" Zuo Hexu sat in the passenger seat and turned his head to look at me.

I uttered tiredly: "It's okay this time, not far from my house, I hope you're safe."

He casually found a dog food restaurant for dinner. He said he would not charge anything for the gasoline he bought, saying it was the fuel expenses for the car. He was also worried that Bai Ji would be tired of driving without sleep all night, so he volunteered to act as a driver.

OK, it's OK, I just want to go home quickly and have a good sleep.

The car was driving with a warm air. I got confused as soon as I got in the car. I lay in the back seat and looked at my phone. The next second I was already in a state of drowsiness.

I couldn't sleep soundly, and there seemed to be a sound in my ear calling me. In a trance, I agreed and then gradually became quiet.

I couldn't wake up yet, and couldn't enter deep sleep. When I moved, I always felt a sticky feeling when I touched the seat from my back. I tried to move again, but my body couldn't move anymore. It seemed like countless hands stretched out from the seat and grabbed my clothes, trapping me and unable to escape.

"Pei Mu...successful...pei Mu...successful..."

The sound came again, and this time I heard it very clearly. It was a woman's voice, using the sorrow that made people so cold that they penetrated their skin and bones, shouting in my ears.

The adjustment from the front passenger seat was followed by a faint fragrance entering the nose.

The warm touch came from my eyebrows, and the tentacles that imprisoned me could not feel it, and the sad voice was replaced by the familiar male voice.

With a shout of Pei Mu, I suddenly opened my eyes.

Bai Ji twisted his body and pressed his fingers against my eyebrows. I was about to ask him what he was doing, but the huge brake inertia almost made me fall off the seat.

"Are you okay?" Zuo Hexu stopped the car and turned his head to look at Bai Ji and me, "The car in front suddenly had a tire blowout and almost hit him."

Bai Ji was also very restless by inertia, but fortunately he had his seat belt, otherwise his head would have hit the body of the car.

He quickly adjusted his sitting position and looked at the reflector: "Don't stop at the highway, drive around, hurry!"

I know how dangerous it is to park on a highway, especially at night, when people are obstructed in their eyes, they are prone to exhaustion. Not to mention that the truck cannot stop, even if it is chased by a car, it is enough for us to go to the west.

After hearing Bai Ji's words, Zuo Hexu immediately walked around from behind the tire-burning car on the road to the emergency lane, and then drove over carefully.

In other words, a truck behind failed to slow down and directly hit the tire-burning car.

If we don't drive away immediately, we will be the ones we were hit.

"It's very dangerous."

I saw Zuo Hexu wiping a sweat while driving: "Why don't we stop at the service area first?"

Bai Ji was still scared and still looked at the reflector to check the situation behind the car: "There is a service area in front of us, we won't leave tonight."

If we don’t leave tonight, the three of us will spend the night in the car.

Fortunately, the air conditioner can be turned on, and the service area can also be purchased for food and drink, so that it will not be hungry or cold.

Not long after, the car parked in the most conspicuous and brightest place in the service area. Bai Ji got off the car and lit a cigarette. Zuo Hexu said he wanted to go to the bathroom. I also got off the car and wanted to go to the service area to check it out, buy some snacks, and eat some when I was bored.

The thrilling moment, plus the nightmare during a nap, I was already completely sleepy.

"Pei Mu."

When passing by Bai Ji, he called me: "Where is the hand I gave you?"

"It's put it in your bag, put it in the trunk with your suitcase." He wouldn't want to go back, I also think it's not good to collect something so expensive for him.

"Take it out and carry it with you, even if it's in your pocket."

He spoke calmly, without any reason, but without doubt.

I said oh, let him open the trunk, took it out of my bag and held it in my hand. Somehow, my mood instantly sootheed a little.

Perhaps this handheld has been consecrated by some master, which can avoid misfortune and calm down.

Since that's the case, I'd better wait until my bracelet is fixed before returning it to him: "I'll buy some food. I'll bring it with you whatever you want."

Bai Ji put out the cigarette butts and raised his head slightly at me: "Go together."

I bought melon seed snacks and Bai Ji bought cigarettes. I rushed to pay when checking out, but unfortunately I didn't snatch him.

"What job are you doing now?" When I got back to the car, I felt a little embarrassed to sit down, so I found a topic to talk to Bai Ji.

He is a little dull and will not speak out unless he asks him or speaks when he needs to make a decision.

Sitting in the passenger seat and looking at me through the rearview mirror, Bai Ji did not answer immediately.

This old classmate is actually no different from a stranger.

In order to ease the atmosphere, I added: "I think your car is pretty good, I feel like you are making a fortune, haha..."

“I have nothing to do, no job.”

"Huh?" I was surprised. If I don't have a job and can drive such a good car, is it a rich second generation?

Bai Ji lowered his head and looked around: "I forgot to buy water, I'll buy some."

The ability to change the topic is pretty good.

But he didn't need to buy water. I saw Zuo Hexu coming out of the bathroom and going to the service station and carrying a box of mineral water out.

He didn't buy water, and I couldn't continue the topic.

Even if I asked about things related to him, I never got answers from him.

The mystery surrounding him was far away from me.

Zuo Hexu not only bought water, but also bought a deck of poker, which can pass the time.

As soon as he played poker, he played until twelve o'clock in the evening. In the end, Zuo Hexu couldn't stand it and tilted his head and fell asleep.

In fact, if I had been driving, I was almost home now, but Bai Ji asked us to spend the night on the highway. I don’t know if he had sensed something.

He seemed to know some ways to ward off evil spirits, but he was not very clear.

We were all very sleepy, and we slept until dawn.

Bai Ji went to the bathroom to wash his face and said he would change his car for a while. We each had a bucket of instant noodles. After eating, we finally set off again.

Three hours later, we entered the toll station in Li City. Zuo Hexu got off at the passing subway station. Before leaving, he and Bai Ji exchanged numbers and said that they could get together when they were fine.

Then Bai Ji looked at me again: "You save my phone number and add WeChat by the way."

It's okay, it's easy to contact me if you have any questions in the future.

There is nothing in Bai Ji's WeChat account, it looks like a small account than a small account. It has no circle of friends, no avatar, and even the nickname looks casual.

It's very consistent with his personality.

Until the car stopped downstairs of my house, I opened my eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief: "Do you know my house?"

"What was the haunted house when I took on the job yesterday?" Bai Ji continued to answer the questions that were not right, ignoring my questions directly.

“Fangxin Apartment 302.”

He said oh, got out of the car and helped me move my suitcase out: "Be careful."

I frowned: "Bai Ji..."

"I may not be in Li City in the past few days."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for my answer and took the seat back to the car and left.

There is no need to be so anxious. After all, he is an old classmate, and he has saved my life.

I clicked Bai Ji's WeChat and sent a message: "Thank you for the past two days."

As I thought, he couldn't reply to me while driving.

Dragging my suitcase, I walked into the house tiredly, greeted my mother and grandma. Before I could ask about my father's trip to Si Village, the employer of Fangxin Apartment sent me a WeChat message to confirm tomorrow's arrangements.

Life has to continue, and business is the same.

I went back to my room and called the employer to inform me about some related matters.

"The test sleep work is usually twenty-four hours. You can specify the time at will tomorrow. I will start calculating the time from the time I arrive at Fangxin Apartment. After 24 hours, I will leave and send you the results of the test sleep and the recorded related videos."

"Tomorrow..." The man pulled a long voice, his voice trembling slightly, and his tone sounded quite anxious, "It's twelve o'clock in the evening that is tomorrow, come here directly, right?"

Please.

I was both angry and funny, but I explained to him with a good temper: "Sir, I'm going to tell you, I just got home from a test sleep work. Including the time of the journey, I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights and need a rest."

It was true that I had just arrived home for two days. I didn’t close my eyes for two days and two nights, and it was really exaggerating that I had at least slept in the car last night.

The other side of the phone seemed to be hesitant. I had already said this. It was really difficult to ask for a trip at midnight.

So he sighed and compromised, "What time will you come tomorrow?"

"At the earliest..." It seems that the hope of sleeping in was shattered, "Can you see it at 9 o'clock in the morning?"

"Okay, at nine o'clock in the morning, I'll wait for you downstairs of the apartment."

I have taken the test sleep work and should also remind my employer of the cost issue. Because the Si Village business disappeared, I did not even receive the final payment.
To be continued...
