In the years that followed, it was not only Bi Yue who questioned himself, but Bi Cheng also frequently recalled this experience.
When Bi Chengcheng reached middle age, he happened to encounter the "Xuanzhaomen" incident.
When he saw the internet slang that was all over the internet, he smiled, pushed up his rimless glasses, and said to himself:
"My sister and I used to be very stupid and naive."
So what kind of stupid and naive thing is that?
Just listen to what Bi Yue said on the train, she was still talking nonsense and was so heartless, you will know!
…
The train was climbing higher and higher. It was said that the train had already reached the Inner Mongolia Plateau.
Suddenly, everything went dark before their eyes, and the train entered a tunnel. It was a very long tunnel, and the siblings didn't know what it was called. It was in this gloomy situation that Bi Yue opened her mouth and said,
"Brother, this happened exactly ten years ago. It was nine o'clock in the evening in 1975."
Bi Cheng wiped his face with a towel and replied to Bi Yue in the darkness:
"Well, sister, you say."
I'm just sitting around doing nothing, and after six days on the train, I'm getting bored.
Bi Yue held the paint-chipped military canteen and chuckled before she began to tell the story. Then she began to whisper:
"That day, there was a subway train packed with passengers in Moscow. It looked exactly like the one in Kyoto. Have you ever ridden it?"
Bi Cheng shook his head.
Bi Yue waved her hand generously: "I've never ridden one before. I'll take you on one tomorrow when I get back! It's like a train. Can you imagine it? It's going underground."
Bi Cheng said nothing, while Bi Yue rubbed his hands together, vowing to tell a strange story in the world that would excite his eldest brother. Look, they are passing through a tunnel, what a great atmosphere!
"Speaking of which, this subway train, packed with passengers, rumbled away from its departure station at a truly incredible speed!
According to usual practice, it should have arrived at Braesno Station in fourteen minutes, however, it did not arrive within the specified time.
In other words, it's like a subway accident. Because it doesn't enter the station, should the next subway train that arrives at the station go faster or slower? Right? So where does this train go?"
Bi Cheng threw the towel on the table and replied casually:
"Did you go the wrong way?"
Bi Yue raised an eyebrow, placed the kettle on the dining table, took off her sandals, and curled her left leg across her chest.
"Yes, it went off the track, but no matter where it went, it had to stop. It had to go somewhere. The key is that the train was full of passengers. You can't just disappear without a trace. That would leave no one with an explanation!"
The subway staff started searching everywhere and conducted a carpet search.
I walked along the subway line and shouted loudly, but there was no sign of anyone except the sound of someone's footsteps and the echo of their voices.
As you can imagine, the entire crossing was searched, and a lot of manpower was mobilized to search along the railway line, but still nothing was found!
Just as a large number of staff members were frowning, one person suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. He had made a major discovery!
Bi Cheng was serious this time, his brows slightly furrowed, his body leaning forward on the table. He felt he had to get closer to his sister, trying to see Bi Yue's expression clearly in the dark:
"What did you find? What did you see?"
“If you want a train to run, you need tracks!
The staff member who screamed discovered that a section of the forked track was missing!
Why was he so sure there was a track in that section? Because he had participated in its construction!
He could tell himself he had misremembered it, but the most terrifying thing was that two parallel railroad tracks appeared before his eyes.
Bi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had found a male or female corpse. This was terrifying:
"Maybe he remembered it wrong, or maybe it was improved later and he doesn't know about it!"
He continued in a deliberately deep voice:
"Whether it's right or wrong, once someone points out something's wrong, someone else will make another discovery.
The two parallel rails continued all the way to the final point, which was the waterproof gate. A few engineers had an idea and used the intercom to press the button to activate the gate.
A few minutes later, the tunnel wall in front of them slowly rose. Just as they squinted their eyes to see what was on the other side of the tunnel wall, a shocking scene appeared.
Bi Yue suddenly leaned forward and moved closer to Bi Cheng. The two siblings stared at each other in the darkness.
"It was brightly lit, with a single carriage parked there. Signs of people lingering were everywhere: cigarette butts, cans, magazines, bottles. But there was no one there, no blood. From that day on, those passengers never returned home. Where did they go?"
With a "bang", the sound of the train passing the track connection point was heard, and with a "swish", the train came out of the tunnel. The brother and sister's eyes lit up.
Bi Cheng was startled by the sudden bright light and took it to heart:
"Where did you go?"
Bi Yue didn't know. The uncle with glasses sitting next to her, who was said to be on a business trip to Mongolia, was also waiting for her answer distractedly.
But she bent down to put on her shoes in an infuriating way:
"Stay tuned for the next chapter!"
Bi Yue put on her plastic sandals and stood up under Bi Cheng's speechless gaze. She chuckled:
"It's a long road, I'm afraid you'll be lonely, let's continue tomorrow!"
The unruly sister Bi Yue kept her word and let Bi Cheng look at her with doubtful eyes when he was bored, and then waited, but she just didn't say anything.
Bi Yue didn't know that the uncle next to her pushed his glasses and complained about her in his heart: What nonsense!
…
After a long night, curled up and rested in a daze, the brother and sister were not listless at all. Instead, they looked more energetic than when they were delivering goods yesterday.
Bi Yue believes that most of the reasons are due to the crew members on the bus.
This train belongs to the Kyoto Railway Bureau, so the crew members are basically Kyoto men who are good at chatting with their Beijing accent.
They would put a towel on their shoulders and walk around the carriage. If someone asked them a question, they would stop and lean back in their seats and talk.
To be honest, the atmosphere doesn't feel like traveling abroad.
Just look at Bi Cheng and you will know that although her eldest brother is not a talkative person, he can still chat with the uncles and brothers in the front and back seats.
If Bi Cheng and Bi Yue had not recalled the scene of taking a bus back to their hometown during the summer vacation, and Bi Yue had not looked at the orderly carriage where everyone had a seat, she would have almost forgotten that everything in front of her looked like a long journey in the future.
Of course, the food was worse, the beer was less, the clothes were much worse, and there was no photography equipment or anything for taking pictures!
After getting on the train last night, we arrived in Zhangjiakou not long after.
The train stopped in the dark, and Bi Yue, half-drowsy, glanced out the window. She could see nothing on the platform except the people waiting to get on. She had wanted to take one more look at the beautiful scenery of the north!
Just as Bi Yue was daydreaming, the passengers' discussions in the carriage became louder.
The enthusiastic Kyoto gentleman said in a loud voice:
"Oh, the sky above the grassland is so blue! Let's all get up and take a look!"
