The Last Journey

in r2cornell •  6 days ago 

The wipers swung feebly, and the windshield was covered with mist. Beautiful driver Lin Xiao's hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly, and her handsome face was reflected in the rearview mirror. This is the third year she has driven this line, and every corner is familiar as if it is engraved in her bones.

Suddenly, two dark shadows jumped out from the side of the road. Lin Xiao subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the car suddenly stopped. Before she could react, the back door was opened with a bang, and two bruisers wearing black masks jumped up.

Don't move! "A man brandished a dagger, his voice hoarse.

Another man wearing a black mask was pressing a dagger against Lin Xiao's waist. She was shocked, her heart tightened suddenly, and her palm holding the steering wheel soaked with sweat.

Get all the money out! "A gangster, wielding a dagger, walked back and forth in the car. The air in the car suddenly froze, and the passengers in the front row lowered their heads. Some people were already pulling out their wallets.

When the gangster walked to a young man, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol from the gangster. Although his hands were trembling, his eyes were extremely fierce. The young man quietly touched the mobile phone in his pocket and wanted to dial 110, but he found it.

You're courting death! "He grabbed the phone and grabbed the young man's collar. The cold light of the dagger flashed in front of his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it. A sharp pain suddenly felt in his arm. Blood flowed down his sleeve and dripped on the seat.

Don't hurt him! "Driver Lin Xiao calmed her mind. She was worried that the gangster would hurt the young man. She suddenly spoke with a trembling voice," I'll give you whatever you want, don't hurt the passengers.

The carriage was deathly silent, and everyone looked at each other. Lin Xiao, the driver, was dragged to the car door. After all, she was a girl, so she couldn't withstand the hostage of two gangsters. She looked back at the passengers in the car, and her eyes were sad. This is not a frightened look, it is clearly asking for help from the passengers in the car!

Everyone help! "The young man stood up and cried," We are too many to watch her be taken away!

No one responded. The uncle in the front row buried his head lower, the middle-aged woman held her bag tightly, and the young couple pretended not to hear it. The young man's arm was still bleeding, but he felt no pain, only anger and powerlessness.
The gangster dragged the driver out of the car and dragged it to the woods beside the road. The young man chased the car, but was severely kicked to the ground by the gangster. Raindrops of iron fists hit him in the face and immediately passed out...

When he woke up, he saw Lin Xiao, the bus driver, stumbling on the bus in disheveled clothes.
The engine started, and the young man was struggling to get up from the ground. His face was covered with mud and water, but he was still waving at her!
Lin Xiao looked back at him, tears immediately wet her eyes.
"No!" She heard him shout at the top of his lungs.

Lin Xiao stepped on the accelerator and the bus roared. The wipers were still swinging mechanically, and the water droplets on the windshield reflected colorful light. She remembered the first day of the line three years ago, when the sun was shining and the passengers were talking and laughing.

The moment the river overflowed the front of the car, Lin Xiao closed his eyes. She seemed to see the young man standing on the side of the road, the rain washing the blood on his face. I'm sorry, she said in her heart, it's all I can do.

Water seeped through the cracks, and it was biting cold. Lin Xiao felt that it was more and more difficult to breathe, and her consciousness gradually blurred. At the last moment, she seemed to hear a siren, from far and near, as if she were from another world.

The siren sounded from far to near, and the young man looked at the calm river, his eyes blurred by tears.
He suddenly understood that that glance back turned out to be her last farewell.

《最后一程》

雨刮器有气无力地摆动着,挡风玻璃上蒙着一层薄雾。美女司机林晓握着方向盘的手微微发抖,后视镜里映出她俊俏的脸。这是她开这条线路的第三年,每一个弯道都熟悉得像是刻在骨子里。

突然,两个黑影从路边窜了出来。林晓下意识地踩下刹车,车子猛地一顿。还没等她反应过来,后门"砰"的一声被拉开,两个戴着黑色面罩的彪形大汉跳了上来。

"都别动!"一个男人挥舞着匕首,声音嘶哑。

另一个戴着黑色口罩的男人正用匕首抵在林晓的腰间。她大吃一惊,心猛地揪紧了,握着方向盘的手心浸出了汗珠。

"把钱都拿出来!"一个歹徒手挥舞着匕首,在车厢里来回走动。车内空气顿时凝固了,前排的乘客纷纷低下头,有人已经开始掏钱包。

当歹徒走到一位年轻人身边时,他闻到了歹徒一股浓重的酒气。他的手虽在发抖,眼神却异常凶狠。年轻人悄悄摸向口袋里的手机,想拨打110,却被他发现了。

"你找死!"他一把夺过手机,揪住年轻人的衣领,匕首的寒光在眼前闪过。他下意识地抬手一挡,手臂上顿时传来一阵剧痛。鲜血顺着袖管流下来,滴在座椅上。

"别伤害他!"司机林晓稳住心神,她担心歹徒伤害这个年轻人,突然开口,声音里带着颤抖,"你要什么我都给你,别伤害乘客。"

歹徒松开了年轻人,转身走向驾驶座。年轻人捂着伤口,他看见歹徒粗暴地拽着司机林晓的胳膊,:"小妞长得不错,下车!陪哥玩玩!"

车厢里一片死寂,个个面面相觑。司机林晓被拽着往车门走,毕竟是个女孩子,哪里抵得住两个歹徒的挟持,她回头看了一车的乘客,那眼神让人难过。这不是一个恐惧的眼神,分明是向满车的乘客求助呀!

"大家帮帮忙!"年轻人站起来喊道,"我们人多,不能眼睁睁看着她被带走!"

没有人回应。前排的大爷把头埋得更低了,中年妇女紧紧抱着自己的包,年轻的情侣假装没听见。年轻人的手臂还在流血,却感觉不到疼痛,只有满腔的愤怒和无力。

歹徒把司机拽下了车,拖向路边的树林。年轻人追下车,却被歹徒狠狠踹倒在地。雨点般铁拳打在他脸上,马上昏死过去……
他醒来的时候,看见公交车司机林晓衣衫不整踉踉跄跄地上了车。
发动机启动了,年轻人正艰难地从地上爬起来,他的脸上沾满了泥水,却还在朝她挥手!
林晓回眸看了看他,泪水立刻打湿了双眼。
“不!"她听见他声嘶力竭的喊声。

林晓踩下油门,公交车发出轰鸣。雨刮器还在机械地摆动着,挡风玻璃上的水珠折射出七彩的光。她想起三年前第一天开这条线路时的情景,阳光明媚,乘客们有说有笑。

河水漫过车头的那一刻,林晓闭上了眼睛。她仿佛看见了那个年轻人人站在路边,雨水冲刷着他脸上的血迹。对不起,她在心里说,这是我唯一能做的。

水从缝隙里渗进来,冰冷刺骨。林晓感觉呼吸越来越困难,意识逐渐模糊。最后一刻,她仿佛听见了警笛声,由远及近,像是来自另一个世界。
警笛声由远及近,年轻人望着平静的河面,泪水模糊了视线。
他突然明白,那一眼回眸,原来是她最后的告别。
