Chapter 3 Believe in God
The train's space is actually very narrow. In an ordinary hard bedroom, there will be two three-beds, three floors on the upper, middle and lower floors. That is, one compartment can accommodate six passengers, which is a bit like a stuffed canned sardines.*
Here, except for the larger space of the lower bunks of two triple beds, the other middle bunks and upper bunks can basically meet your requirements for lying flat. A normal adult cannot even sit up in the middle bunk or upper bunk. This is why most people try to buy the lower bunks when buying sleeper tickets.
Not only is the space so narrow, but now it is winter, the air conditioning and heating in the car are very sufficient, so the sleeper compartment is like small steamers, and the light or heavy body odors are mixed with some people, which makes people feel "adding fuel to the fire".
Soon, Xiao Xuan found his own compartment. At this time, the others had just settled their own things. After all, Xiao Xuan came too late and almost couldn't catch the train.
There were two people sitting in the lower bunk, three men and one woman, probably chatting. Because of that fall, Xiao Xuan still felt a little pain on his body. At this time, he thought that he would just lie on the bed and have a good rest. He said a little apologetically to the two people sitting on the lower bunk on his side:
"Brother, please make a seat. My bunk is at the top. Let me go up first."
The two people who were originally sitting on the lower bunk were both men. They were in their thirties and had a beard and looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. Their face was very tender. However, both of them were very kind. Seeing that Xiao Xuan was about to go up, they took the initiative to make way out.
Xiao Xuan first threw his bag on the upper bunk, then stepped down his shoes, stepped on the edge of the lower bunk with barefoot and stepped on the middle bunk with force, and then climbed up the upper bunk on the middle bunk. The space was cramped and there was also the benefit of cramped space. If it was placed in the upper, middle and lower bunks of a normal dormitory without the handrail, it would not be so easy to climb from below to the upper bunk. In this kind of car bed, it would be very easy to go up as long as it was not the kind of adults with disabilities. It was like going up three steps.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Xuan stuffed a ball of quilt under him directly to the foot of the bed to place the salute. Although it was winter outside, the carriage was already stuffy enough, and it was really irritating to wrap it with a quilt. Moreover, the quilt on the train had been covered by many people all the way. Xiao Xuan really didn't want to use it to cover himself.
Xiao Xuan did not put his bag in the place where he was placed. Instead, he placed it directly beside him. His notebook and wallet were included in his bag. These expensive things naturally had to be kept in close care. He should not be wary of others, especially in places like the train where the traffic of people is mixed, so there is no guarantee that someone who relies on his third hand will target him.
Just as Xiao Xuan had already placed himself on the bed, he turned his head slightly, and saw the upper bunk lying opposite him. He was already a man with a bloated figure.
When Xiao Xuan's gaze shifted from the other party's feet to the head, Xiao Xuan was suddenly startled because the other party had already opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Xuan with wide eyes, as if he had already had a premonition that Xiao Xuan's gaze would sweep over. Xiao Xuan felt inexplicably guilty at this time, and the other party's eyes were too sharp, making Xiao Xuan feel at a loss. Xiao Xuan had to cough dryly and remove his gaze.
However, the upper bunk is facing the top panel of the car. This way, it makes people feel even more depressed when they look open. Xiao Xuan simply sets an alarm on his phone first, then puts the phone in his close pocket and closes his eyes to go to bed. Although the conductor said that he would come to him with a ticket, Xiao Xuan still felt that if he could rely on himself, he should try his best to rely on himself, and he should try his best to be prepared for anything.
While Xiao Xuan was still sleeping, the four people on the lower bunk were still chatting, but the chatting sound did not disturb Xiao Xuan's successful sleep.
...
“Tick…tick…tick…tick…tick…tick…”
The sound of dripping water sounded in Xiao Xuan's ears. In the train, there were either people's voices or mechanical friction sounds when the train was driving. Even if a normal person could fall asleep, he would sleep very lightly and easily wake up. At this time, this was the case with Xiao Xuan.
When he opened his eyes, Xiao Xuan felt a dry mouth and tongue walking, and his nose was filled with a sense of heat, which made him feel very uncomfortable. However, when he reached out his hand and touched his chest, he actually felt a cold and smooth feeling.
"What?" Xiao Xuan's heart arose, "Can it be that the air conditioner is broken and it starts to drip?"
Xiao Xuan wanted to sit up from the bed first to see what happened, but he forgot how small the upper space he was in. When he subconsciously sat up as he had sleeping habits, his head inevitably hit the top of the car. Fortunately, the top of the car was not the kind of hard iron sheet, but the kind of material similar to plastic boards. It is probably because passengers would not hit it too much.
Even though it didn't hurt so much, Xiao Xuan, who had just woken up, was still fainted. After knowing that he could not sit up here, he simply lay back, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and directly turned on the flashlight on the back of the cell phone. The light suddenly emanated, which could be said to have illuminated the entire compartment.
Of course, this is not to say how bright the phone is. The biggest reason is that the compartment is too small, and a little bit of light is actually enough to illuminate everything.
However, the scene he saw when the light flashed made Xiao Xuan's scalp numb. The blue down jacket he was originally wearing was dyed red at this time. This was a dizzying red. Xiao Xuan's first reaction was that it was blood. Although he didn't know why he couldn't smell the fishy smell that any blood should have, he believed in this conclusion in his heart, and even he himself didn't know why it was.
However, when Xiao Xuan raised his head again, he was finally sure that... it was indeed bloody. The flashlight of the mobile phone shone upwards. When Xiao Xuan lays flat, there was a head hanging on the top of the carriage directly above his chest. No, maybe it shouldn't be said to be hanging. After all, there was no rope or something imprisoning him. The head seemed to float above Xiao Xuan.
Moreover, there was blood constantly, which overflowed from the eye sockets, cochlea, nose and corners of the mouth of the head. It gathered into drops of bright red at the bottom of the jaw and fell down on Xiao Xuan's body, making a crisp "tick" sound. Moreover, Xiao Xuan seemed to be familiar with this head, as if he had seen it somewhere just now, and his impression was very clear, but at this moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Next, a more terrifying scene appeared. The head seemed to feel that Xiao Xuan had discovered himself. He slowly opened his eyes in front of Xiao Xuan. His eyes were clear and calm. Yes, Xiao Xuan really saw the clear and quiet eyes from the eyes of this bloody head. This doubled strangeness and visual incongruity made Xiao Xuan feel that his breathing had been blocked, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an unknown force.
Slowly, his head and mouth opened slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, but the teeth were dyed red by blood as soon as they were exposed to their lips. However, his voice still came out:
"Haha, are you scared...but...you pulled me in...hehe."
...
Xiao Xuan only felt a dizzy turn. The words said by the head kept echoing in Xiao Xuan's mind, like thunderstorms, which made Xiao Xuan's mind "buzz" loudly. In the end, the sound reached a critical point. Xiao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up subconsciously. This time, his forehead was really heavily touched the top of the car. Even if it hit the plastic board, a large bag still appeared on Xiao Xuan's forehead with such a force. However, he was unaware of this. When he found that he was still dark around him, he quickly took out his cell phone, turned on the backlight of the phone with his trembling hands, shining it in front of him. There was no blood, no drop of blood, and then it shone on the top of the carriage above. There was no head, and there was no head!
The underwear had been soaked by cold sweat. Xiao Xuan breathed a long time ago and lay back. He could now be sure that he had just had a dream, but this dream seemed too real, so real that Xiao Xuan himself felt a little incredible. He had never made such a real and clear dream since he was a child.
Since he woke up, Xiao Xuan was not sleepy in a short period of time. He wanted to wash his face and make him feel refreshed completely, but he was afraid that it would affect the rest of the people below. After all, if he really wanted to go down, the movement would definitely be less. Although Xiao Xuan's forehead touched the top of the car before, it was also mixed with the sound of the train driving. He didn't feel abrupt. No one in the compartment seemed to be awakened by this.
After a struggle of thought, Xiao Xuan decided to go down and found his cup from his bag, intending to get some boiling water. When he carefully turned over and moved out of bed, halfway through, he saw the passenger sleeping in his lower bunk, which was located in the middle bunk. Suddenly, the cell phone shone on her face, revealing the face of a young woman, but this face looked too pale. She should have been one of the people who sat on the lower bunk and chatted when Xiao Xuan came in.
