The car body sank further.
Ji Cinian hit his forehead against the cold car window, and the pain made him sober up. He raised his head and first smelled the smell of old leather mixed with damp soil.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
After working overtime, he clearly took a black online taxi.
In front of me are rows of faded bus seats.
There were thick curtains on the windows, and six strangers were sitting in the carriage. Some people were leaning on their seats and sleeping deeply, while others were holding bags with their faces full of fear.
No matter how tired I am, I won't make a mistake, and besides, there are no buses at this point!
Ji Cinian raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling a layer of cold sweat on his fingertips.
"Where is this?"
The curly-haired woman in the front row woke up first. Her throat was dry and she reached out to push the person next to her.
"Hey, wake up."
A man in a jacket cursed and sat up straight. He glanced across the carriage and his face darkened.
"Where's the driver?"
Ji Ci Nian stood up using the back of his chair. His body was still weak from working overtime. He stood up too quickly and his chest was so tight that it hurt. He held the back of the seat and looked towards the driver's seat.
The driver's seat was empty.
There is no steering wheel in front of the seat.
All that was left was a gray windshield, and outside the glass was a dirt road. There were several low houses in the distance, their roofs covered with withered grass, and the sky was so bright that they were dazzling.
The car was silent for a while.
"A prank show?"
The man in the jacket walked quickly to the front, raised his foot and kicked towards the driver's seat.
"Who the hell brought me here? Get out of here!"
The seat didn't move at all.
No one responded either.
Ji Ci Nian opened a corner of the curtains, and the sunlight fell on the back of his hands. The temperature was very real. There were sparse fields on both sides of the dirt road, and there were several straw men standing on the field ridges. Each straw man had a faded red cloth hat on his head.
The straw man at the far end has his hat brim facing the bus.
Like looking at them.
