Although the market was almost over, many people were still lingering on the street, and the market atmosphere had not completely dissipated.

During her internship, Lin Xi lived in Bai Miao's village for several months and had fallen deeply in love with the activity of going to the market.

Lin Xi strolled around the town for a long time, asking Village Chief Xu which restaurant was good. She then ate dinner at the restaurant recommended by Village Chief Xu, and finally it was evening.

Although the town is not small, it doesn't have much tourism.

Therefore, almost everyone in the town is a local resident, and they go home as soon as it gets dark, so there are fewer people out and about.

By eight or nine o'clock, only a few shops and guesthouses were still open in the town, but there were no customers left.

As for another place where people gather, it's the bus stop.

However, not many people were catching the last bus; besides Lin Xi, there were only two or three others.

The 9 o'clock departure time was getting closer and closer, but the bus was nowhere to be seen.

The two people next to me started talking about why the shuttle bus hadn't come yet.

As usual, the shuttle bus will be waiting at the waiting point in advance, and it will start and depart as soon as the departure time arrives.

But today is strange; it's been several minutes past nine o'clock, and the shuttle bus still hasn't appeared.

Just as everyone was wondering if something had happened to the driver, a beam of light suddenly shone from not far away.

Following the light, everyone spotted the familiar shuttle bus.

The vehicle looked very similar to the shuttle bus they used to take, and besides, only shuttle buses would be here so late at night.

Therefore, no one doubted whether this vehicle was the one they were supposed to take.

The car slowly pulled up in front of them, and then the door opened.

Everything is the same as before.

Without giving it much thought, everyone started walking towards the car.

But Lin Xi, who had been silent, suddenly called out to them.

"The car is over there, where are you going?"

The three people who were about to get on the bus stopped in their tracks upon hearing this and subconsciously turned around to look at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi tilted her chin in another direction.

"The car is over there, let's get on it quickly."

Following Lin Xi's gaze, the group discovered that the shuttle bus was already waiting a little ahead of them.

Looking at their current position, they're actually standing at the back of the car.

Weren't they just standing by the car door?

Could it be that the car accidentally moved forward a little?

But none of this is a big deal. It's getting late, and everyone wants to get on the bus and go home as soon as possible.

So he immediately walked a few steps forward and got into the car.

After the three people got on the bus, they noticed that Lin Xi hadn't gotten on, and asked her why she wasn't getting on.

Lin Xi shook his head at them and said.

"I'm not getting on the bus, you guys go ahead."

Upon hearing this, the driver looked around and, finding no other passengers, started the car and drove away.

After their car drove away, Lin Xi lifted her leg and got into another car.

That is, the car that the others almost got into.

As Lin Xi got into the car, she glanced at the driver in the driver's seat. In the dim light inside the car, she saw that the driver's eyes were fixed straight ahead, and he seemed to have no reaction to Lin Xi getting in.

Although only Lin Xi boarded the train, and this was the starting station.

However, Lin Xi was not the only one in the carriage.

The carriage was very lively, with at least half of the seats occupied.

The bus had men, women, the elderly, and children; they looked just like ordinary bus passengers.

But the expressions and demeanor of those passengers were extremely strange.

They sat quietly in their seats, just like the driver, their faces expressionless, staring straight ahead.

If the light inside the car were brighter, you could even see their faces; they were so pale they didn't look alive.
