Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
The bus quickly left the city and got on the ring expressway.
“h.e.l.lo everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Yi. I’m the president of the Student Union of Donghai University.” The organizer was standing at the front of the bus and spoke to everyone with a loudspeaker hanging on his body.
The bus was suddenly quiet. After all, the quality of the students who came to partic.i.p.ate in the winter camp was good. At the moment, they were quietly watching Yu Yi, listening to what he had to say.
“I’m very pleased that students from different universities and colleges can take the same bus and go to the same destination. It’s also our fate! Although we don’t know each other, at least, we’re all fellow travelers now. I hope that everyone can unite and care for each other, help each other, and make our journey a happy one.” Although Yu Yi’s words weren’t lengthy, they were down to earth and good at inciting everyone’s emotions. If flowery rhetoric was spoken, everyone might felt disgusted.
Therefore, Yu Yi’s approachableness soon obtained resonance from everyone, and they all gave him warm applause.
“Although what I’m about to say may dampen our spirits, I still have to say it! There’s no way to go about it. It’s my duty. As such, everyone must pay attention to safety. As we go out from home, we must obey group discipline, especially not to act independently. The specifics are written in the handbook we sent out. I won’t say much.” Yu Yi said, “Next, let’s sing a song together. I’ll start…”
“You once said to me… Our encounter is a song…” It was undeniable that Yu Yi’s singing was very good. He was a versatile person. Not only did he have strong organizational skills, but his other aspects also weren’t bad. In his lead, a melodious voice resonated throughout the bus…
After the ring expressway, it was a highway leaving the city. Since Song Jiang wasn’t a provincial capital city, the maintenance on the highway leaving the city wasn’t very good. Many of them were roads from ten or twenty years ago. It was inevitable that there would be b.u.mps on the road.
Fortunately, everyone was young. The b.u.mps didn’t matter that much. Everyone acted as though it was a b.u.mper car or a mad mouse ride [1] in an amus.e.m.e.nt park.
“Mister driver, what’s that in front of us?” A girl in the front row of the bus suddenly asked.
” Oh ? I don’t know. They might want to hitch a ride. Let’s not bother about them too much.” The driver said indifferently.
“How can we leave them be? If it’s on the way, let’s give her a ride. You see, she’s a woman holding a child in this snowy weather. How difficult it is!” The sympathy of the female students began to flood.
The driver didn’t care much. Since the bus is reserved by you guys, I will do what you want me to do. However, he had to listen to Yu Yi now. Hence, he raised his head and looked at Yu Yi. After all, Yu Yi was the organizer of this event.
“This…” Yu Yi also hesitated a little. Logically speaking, he didn’t want to bother with those who hitched a ride. After all, it was better to be careful when they were outside.
“You see how pitiful she is. Do you have sympathy at all?” The girl noticed Yu Yi was hesitant. She spoke in a somewhat dissatisfied manner.
“Mister driver, can I trouble you to stop the bus…” Yu Yi had no choice. Although he didn’t want to poke his nose to other’s matters, after all, he was a student council committee member. He was a student model. He needed to respect the elderly and young children.
Yu Yi hesitated but seeing that the woman was alone and holding a child, it was indeed pitiful. If it was another person, he might just forget it. Moreover, the road wasn’t quite safe at the end of the year.
However, this woman obviously didn’t possess any danger, so Yu Yi didn’t care much. We have a busload of people. Do we still need to be afraid of a woman holding a child?
” Jiii .” The bus stopped in front of the woman at the side of the road.
“What’s wrong?” The driver extended his head out from the bus and asked.
“Brother… can I trouble you? My child had a cold. I’m in a hurry to go to the city for an injection. The vehicle at my house has broken down. I’m really in a hurry!” The woman said in a panic.
” Oh ?” The driver’s master nodded and said to Yu Yi, “What should I do? She said that her child is ill. She is in a hurry to get an injection.”
“Then, let’s open the door and let her come in…” When Yu Yi just opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a loud voice.
“Don’t open the door!” Yang Ming suddenly stood up and shouted to the driver in front.
Everyone on the bus was shocked, including the driver. His hand that was about to press the automatic door b.u.t.ton also halted. Everyone looked at Yang Ming with doubt.
“When we’re out, it’s best not to poke your nose in someone else’s matters! In such a wilderness, there are no shops and residences around. Who knows where this person came from?” Yang Ming muttered. In fact, what Yang Ming said was also valid, because this woman was too suspicious!
This isn’t a village entrance at all. How can there be a person standing there waiting for a ride? Therefore, Yang Ming naturally paid extra attention to this woman. When he saw the child in the woman’s arms, Yang Ming realized what was going on!
What kind of child is that? It is just a wrapped pillow! The appearance looks like a child, but it isn’t at all! After noticing this, Yang Ming deliberately looked around again. Certainly, behind the snowdrift next to the highway, there were four or five macho men holding sticks! One of them had a handgun in his hand!
“Don’t you have sympathy?” The girl who had been sympathetic before immediately protested. She stood up and glared at Yang Ming. “Look at how pitiful she is!”
“This isn’t a problem about being pitiful or not!” Yang Ming frowned, but he couldn’t tell them what he saw. With that, the others would definitely ask how he saw it. That wouldn’t be fun at all. Worst case scenario, it would raise suspicion from the others. Therefore, in a hurry, Yang Ming had to say, “Do you think the female evil spirits in the Journey to the West are pitiful?”
” Ha ! Do you think that you are Sun Wukong[2]? Do you have fiery golden eyes [3], letting you see through others at a glance?” The female student said disdainfully.
Yang Ming was so angry. He thought to himself. I’m about there even though it isn’t the fiery golden eyes! But, this can’t be said! I just have a kind intention and yet I need to bear the sarcastic remarks from others!
“Fine. Fine. Stop arguing. What you’ve all said have their rationale behind it!” Yu Yi quickly mediated. “What the cla.s.smate said has nothing wrong with it. Since we’re out, we should be careful. But we’re all university students. We can’t just leave them to their perils. In my view, she’s a woman with a child. Let’s allow them to come up.”
“Child? I don’t know if it’s a real child or a fake child!” Yang Ming said coldly.
“As a person, how can you speak as such?” The female student glared at Yang Ming, and her eyes were burning! The boy next to the female student saw that his girlfriend was being bullied. Obviously, he couldn’t sit still. He stood up and pointed to Yang Ming and said, “Your character is poor. Don’t impose your own bad thoughts on others! Mister driver, open the door. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it!”
“Dumb*ss!” Yang Ming cursed, then he returned to his seat helplessly and sat down. He thought to himself, If you want to die, then don’t blame the others!Then, Yang Ming began to evaluate the strength of these people…
The four macho men with sticks are easier to deal with, but the bald leader has a handgun in his hand.
” Shua …” The door opened. The woman gave a phony thank you. When she was about to get on the bus, her foot slipped and she fell flat on the ground next to the wheel.
“Are you okay?” Yu Yi quickly got out of the bus and went to help the woman.
At this time, behind the snowdrift, ” Sou ” five macho men rushed out and came to the bus. The driver couldn’t close the door in time and a chilling gun was pointed at his head!
“Don’t move, or I will shoot you!” The bald man said evilly.
“I won’t move… I won’t move…” The driver was shocked and quickly hugged his head and leaned on the steering wheel.
The girl who had a sense of justice just now along with her boyfriend was stupefied at the moment. They looked at everything in front of them in a daze. They didn’t understand how the pitiful woman turned into a few fierce macho man in the blink of an eye!
“Go in!” A macho man grabbled Yu Yi into the bus, and the remaining macho men and the woman who stopped the bus also got on the bus.
“Close the door!” The bald head man pointed the gun barrel at the driver’s temple. “Hurry up. Be quick. Don’t waste my time!”
The driver wanted to hurry up, but the gun was pointing at him. He was so shocked that his hands didn’t listen to him. But in order to not be killed, the driver shuddered and closed the door.
“Drive; drive slowly along the roadside. If you dare to play any tricks, I will kill you!” The bald-headed man took the gun away from the driver’s head, and then he said to one of the men behind him, “Old San [4], monitor him. If he dares to be disobedient, you just hit and splatter his brain with a stick!”
“Okay!” Old San smiled and patted the stick in his hand.
