Chapter 1 A Beautiful Woman
My name is Ye Yun. I was born in 1989 in a small mountain village called Yejiazhuang. I have a younger sister who is ten years younger than me. My parents are farmers, and it was not easy to support a student. So when I was 16, I dropped out of school and followed the villagers out of the mountain village to work in the city.
Because I had no education, I could only do hard labor. I set up stalls, washed dishes, did odd jobs, washed cars for others, and repaired cars. Although I repaired many cars, I couldn't afford to buy a car, but I learned to drive and got a driver's license.
When I was 20 years old, I started driving a taxi for a taxi company. I chose the night shift because it was easier to make money at night. I could overcharge passengers at night, and I could illegally pick up passengers without using the meter. The income was pretty good. In addition to my living expenses, I could also send some money home every month.
I drove like this for two years without any problems. I didn't have any big ambitions, so I felt that this kind of life was pretty good. Until I was 22 years old, one night on the bus, I picked up a woman, a very beautiful woman. Since then, my life has completely changed, and I had to embark on a road of no return.
…
August 24, 2010, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, was my birthday. A friend who drove the night shift like me reminded me that today was Ghost Festival , saying that the ghosts were released at night, and told me not to drive the car at night.
Although I haven't read many books and don't have much knowledge, I have heard on TV that "a gentleman does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or gods". There are no ghosts. And although it's my birthday, I'm alone. I might as well go out for a race, so as not to think too much and feel sad.
But it's strange that there are really few people on the street at night. I can't help but think that these guys are quite superstitious.
By 11pm, we had only picked up three people. I had slept all day and couldn't fall asleep, so I drove the taxi to an intersection and stopped to read a novel on my phone. It was a horror novel, and when I was absorbed in it, the car window suddenly clanged twice. My heart tightened and my body trembled.
Damn, don’t you know that scaring others can kill them?
I was furious and was about to yell at him, but I was stunned. There was a woman standing outside the car window, a very beautiful woman, but she was wearing something a little weird, like something from a long time ago.
I quickly opened the back door and asked with a big smile on my face, "Where are you going, boss?"
She got in the car, closed the door, and said, "Dawang Village."
I was stunned. Where is the village in this city? I turned around and asked, "Boss, where is Dawang Village?"
Her face was really pretty, even prettier than those celebrities on TV, but a little pale, so pale it was scary. She had an indifferent look on her face, her eyes rolled slightly, and she looked at me coldly without answering.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to fiddle with the broken navigation system in front of the car, cursing in my heart: What's so great about her? Isn't she just pretty? When I have money, I will marry ten or eight of them. But I can only think like this in my heart. Forget marrying a wife, I don't even have a girlfriend.
I checked the navigation and found that there was such a village outside the city. It was quite far away, about 30 to 40 kilometers away. I glanced back at her and said, "Boss, the road is not easy to walk on at night, and the light is not good. Just give me 200 yuan."
I had already thought of an excuse to deal with her asking me to use the meter or bargain, but she not only didn't ask me to use the meter, but also nodded very readily. I was stunned for a moment, this would be less than 100 yuan during the day. Hehe, I didn't expect to kill a fat sheep in the middle of the night.
I put her cold and arrogant attitude behind me, set up the navigation system, started the car and hit the road.
Although the light was not good at night, there were fewer cars on the road. Except for those annoying traffic lights, the road was smooth. But I didn't drive too fast, lest the beautiful girl behind me think I was cheating her, although I did cheat her.
She didn't say a word along the way. After I said a few words, I felt bored and didn't bother to say anything more.
At almost 12:30, we finally arrived at the place indicated by the navigation system. However, it was just a T-junction, with no road ahead. Where was the village? Moreover, this place was quite far from the city, and there were no houses around. It was like a wilderness.
A gust of wind blew into the car. In this hot summer, I actually felt a little cold and my body shivered involuntarily. I couldn't help but think of what the buddy said during the day. What kind of Ghost Festival is today? In the middle of the night, the gates of hell will open wide and all the ghosts will run out.
I couldn't help but shudder again and said quickly , "Boss, we're here, but it seems there's no ..."
As I said this, I turned back and was stunned.
The beautiful woman is gone!
Damn, where are the people?
Why did you get off the car without even saying hello?
But when I saw the two "Mao Zedong" banknotes on the seat, I immediately forgot why the woman got off the bus without saying anything. I quickly grabbed the money from the seat behind me. Hey, 200 yuan in hand, I can call it a day.
I was feeling happy, but when I saw the two hundred-dollar bills in my hand clearly with the help of the small light inside the car, I was suddenly stunned and felt my heart skip a beat, as if it was suddenly grasped by a big hand.
The two "Chairman Mao" banknotes turned out to be two ghost money!
Dead money!
Damn it, I got fooled!
I quickly opened the car door, got out, and looked around, but there was no sign of the woman.
"call!"
A gust of wind blew, bringing a hint of chill.
"Wooooooa ...
A strange sound came from the wilderness beyond the end of the T-junction, like the whistling of the wind, or the cry of some bird or animal. Not only was it strange, but it was also very eerie.
I couldn't help but shiver, and quickly got back into the car, threw the two dead man's money out, turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away the way I came.
Shit, what's that saying?
I have been hunting geese all day, and today I was pecked in the eye by a goose. I wanted to cheat her, but I didn't expect that she would cheat me back. And it was a dead person's money.
What bad luck!
On the way back, I was angry and scared. I didn't dare to stop all the way. I went to the company for the meeting. After handing over the car, I went straight to the dormitory and fell asleep. But I couldn't fall asleep. The beautiful woman's frightening white face kept appearing in my mind. I couldn't get rid of it. Later, maybe I was tired, I finally fell asleep, but I had another nightmare.
I dreamed of the beautiful woman I drove with. Her hair was disheveled, her pretty face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and her pupils were like two bottomless holes, dark and deep, with no eyeballs in them, only two streams of bright red blood gushing out. She smiled at me, and suddenly pounced on me, her mouth open, revealing a few long fangs.
I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. I wanted to run, but I couldn't move at all, as if I was nailed to the ground. She pounced on me, opened her big mouth, and bit my neck. My whole body was shocked and a sharp pain surged through my body. I wanted to scream out loud, but no sound came out.
In this way, this strange nightmare kept repeating in my sleep, and I didn’t wake up from it until after 10 o’clock in the morning.
When I woke up, I was sweating all over, and I was even more tired than before I went to bed. My whole body was sore. The nerves in my temples kept throbbing, and my head was aching. I cursed inwardly, went to the bathroom to wash up, and took a shower. Although I was still very tired, I felt much better.
The house is not big, but it is fully equipped with everything that is necessary. Because the house is old, the rent is very cheap. I have lived here alone for more than a year.
After taking a shower, I had no appetite. I was out at night and had nothing to do during the day, so I was ready to go to sleep. As soon as I got back to the bed, I casually opened the quilt and threw it into the bed. Two pieces of paper floated out from the quilt. I looked at them carefully and my whole body was shocked. My heart felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer.
Two hundred dollar bills as ghost money!
I quickly grabbed the two pieces of paper money and took a closer look. They were the two pieces of paper money that the woman left in my car last night.
What happened? Didn't I throw them away? Why are they still on me?
The nerves on my temples were throbbing even more violently, and the pain was so severe that I quickly slapped my head.
Could it be that I really saw a ghost last night?
Thinking about it carefully, the woman was unusually beautiful, and her facial expression was also abnormal. In the end, there was no sound of the door opening, and she disappeared from the car, leaving behind two dead money.
She also said she would send her to some "Dawang Village", but there was nothing there, it was just a wilderness.
It all seemed a little weird.
Could that woman be a ghost, a beautiful female ghost?
"The boss called!"
As I was thinking, a ring suddenly rang, startling me. I grabbed the phone and was about to throw it on the bed, but when I saw the caller ID was "Zhang Datou", I held back and quickly answered the call.
Zhang Datou, whose real name is Zhang Caiming, is my leader.
"Hello……"
"6438, you were in a car accident!"
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard an urgent call from the other end. It was Zhang Datou's voice.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I cursed, "Zhang Datou, you just had a car accident!"
This bastard cursed me early in the morning. Isn't he asking for trouble?
"No, 38..."
"It's your brother-in-law's. I have a name, don't call out the car number!" I shouted angrily.
"Come to the company immediately. Car No. 6438 has had an accident. Zheng Feng died in the accident."
I was suddenly shocked. 6438 was the number of the taxi I drove. I was working the night shift, and Zheng Feng was working the day shift.
Zheng Feng is dead?
