Chapter 004: The Finger I Bit Off Myself

I called the waiter, and after settling the bill, I politely said: "Master Zhou, I have a little matter to attend to, so I will be leaving first. Please enjoy your meal at your leisure"

The third driver, Master Huang, suddenly passed away after driving the No. 14 bus for a month

Zhou Bingkun sighed and said: The pregnant woman was killed by the first driver of Bus Route 14. You probably won't believe it, but I visited him in prison a couple of years ago. He insisted he was wronged, claiming that the Bus Route 14 suddenly malfunctioned, and while waiting at a red light, it suddenly surged forward, hitting the pregnant woman before coming to a stop. Technicians inspected the vehicle and found no issues. He didn't stay in prison long before going insane. Recently, I visited him again, but this time it wasn't the prison; it was the crematorium.

As soon as Zhou Bingkun heard my words, his expression immediately changed. Without even looking at me, he said: "I haven't been driving the bus for a long time, what is there to consult about? There's nothing to consult, you can leave."

He held the bowl, drank the last drop of dumpling soup, and then walked out of the dumpling restaurant with me. Once outside, he let out a big burp and said: "Look at you, kid, you're not a bad person. Listen to me, no matter how high your salary is, don't take the No. 14 bus anymore. The sooner you resign, the better; ideally, you should resign today."

Shall I call you Master Zhou?

"Letter! I believe! Uncle, you know everything, so please tell me everything!"

Zhou Bingkun shook his head and said: Regardless of the reason, if you believe in He and the books, you should resign as soon as possible; if you do not believe, then it is up to you.

I suddenly realized why Master Zhou Bingkun had always advised me never to wear that gold ring

I still shake my head

Uncertain how much time had passed, he cried until he was exhausted. I stood silently beside him. He wiped the corner of his eye with his sleeve and patted my shoulder, saying: "Young man, go back and resign as soon as possible"

Upon seeing him like this, it was clear he had no intention of telling me anything. I sighed, thinking that if this were the case, it would be better to save some time and head back early to catch a nap.

The first driver, while driving, experienced a malfunction in the bus that resulted in a fatal accident. Subsequently, he was imprisoned, went insane, and ultimately died

"Master Zhou, may I ask, if it is convenient for you, what happened to your finger?" I held back for a long time, but ultimately I still asked. I find it hard to understand how a normal person could bite off their own finger. Not to mention the pain, such courage and determination are not something an ordinary person possesses.

I shook my head

I offered him cigarettes and treated him to a meal, but in the end, Zhou Bingkun said nothing. He took the cigarette from my hand, and seeing this as a good sign, I immediately took out my lighter to light it for him

The second driver, namely Zhou Bingkun in front of me, bit off his own finger after driving the No. 14 bus

Zhou Bingkun suddenly shouted angrily: My ending is still quite good https://m.hetushucomcom? You think I didn't die, right? But do you know how my wife died! She only wore a pearl necklace for one day, and then she had a car accident, her entire head was smashed down! Do you know! Do you know!

He nodded slightly, just as it was noon and everyone had finished work. I stood at the workshop entrance and, after he changed into a clean set of clothes, I said to him: Master Zhou, I am a bus driver and I have a few matters I would like to consult you about

"Master Zhou, do not be sad. Compared to the other two drivers, your current situation is still quite good." I originally intended to comfort Zhou Bingkun, but unexpectedly, this statement stirred up a hornet's nest.

The endings of the three of them are increasingly tragic. I am the fourth. What will happen if I continue on this path?

I hurriedly asked: What is it?

Zhou Bingkun sighed, raised his left hand, and said: The fingers were bitten off by my own mouth, but it was not me who did the biting. Do you understand what I mean

I shuddered all over and took another look at the ring finger of his left hand. No wonder there was a scar at the break; the wound did not appear to be caused by a sharp object, but rather was bitten off by himself.

I was so frightened that I kept retreating. After Zhou Bingkun shouted, he squatted down on the ground and began to cry out loud like a child. Choking back tears, he said: Do you know how difficult my life is? ... Subsequently, he began to mutter to himself as if in a trance: Wife, I am sorry for you. When we got married, I was poor and had no money to buy you a necklace. I have wronged you. In the next life, I will definitely buy you the most beautiful one...

Because the noise in the hardware factory workshop was very loud, he took off his mask and shouted at me: What did you say

Got it

As the saying goes, one is at a disadvantage when receiving favors; he was smoking my cigarettes and eating the meal I treated him to, and he was no longer so indifferent. At that moment, he nodded and murmured an acknowledgment. After that, there was no further conversation

Two years ago, the No. 14 bus in Meili City struck and killed a pregnant woman, did you know that

At that moment, I watched in disbelief as my fingers slowly made their way into my mouth. My teeth forcefully bit through my ring finger, and then I spat out the gold ring that was on it. This is the consequence of greed; if it is not yours, do not take it

Why am I asking?

I still shake my head

Master Huang, in his fifties, was in good health, yet he suddenly died of a heart attack after only one month of driving bus route 14. Is this normal?

I inquired: So, you mean to say that the ring finger on your left hand was accidentally broken after you put on the ring

Just as the question was raised to this point, Zhou Bingkun, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, had tears in his eyes. Suddenly, he trembled his left hand and shouted, "This finger was bitten off by me!"

I tapped on the * picture * book and bought a good cigarette for Master Zhou. Just as I was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said to me: By the way, you must not open the driver's seat, no matter how uncomfortable you feel sitting there. Master Huang opened the driver's seat and died unexpectedly, so you must remember this!

Just as I turned around and had not taken two steps, Zhou Bingkun suddenly said to me: "Young man, don't leave just yet"

At this point, a look of remorse appeared on Zhou Bingkun's face. He sighed and patted my shoulder, saying: "That high-heeled shoe, be sure not to throw it away; that gold ring, absolutely do not wear it; as for that necklace, you must not wear it either"

I tried to use his words against him, and he stuffed a dumpling into his mouth, mumbling: "Cleaning once a day, how could it not be clean?"

I felt a shiver run down my spine, and my entire body was covered in goosebumps

I shook my head

After speaking, he was about to return to the hardware factory. I hurriedly caught up with him and recounted the events of the past few days. Zhou Bingkun's expression gradually darkened, and in the end, he suddenly turned around and asked me in panic: Did you keep the shoes?

This left me bewildered. Seeing the confusion on my face, he raised his left hand and said to me: "Take a look for yourself; this is the consequence of disobedience!" There was an old gentleman who once rode my bus and had warned me about this, but I was greedy and could not resist wearing a gold ring.

I shook my head and said: That is a high heel, just one, and it is very worn out. I kept it without any use along with the books. At first, I threw it away, but later I picked it up again.

Zhou Bingkun's face was as pale as paper. He patted my shoulder and said: "Tonight, you must leave your shoes, ring, and necklace on the bus, and take the last ride. No matter what happens tomorrow, you must resign! And you must remember one thing!"

I shook my head

I was taken aback for a moment, then poured a small dish of vinegar for Zhou Bingkun, and asked: Master Zhou, is there anything... on bus number 14 that is... unclean?

Zhou Bingkun sighed; at that moment, he had his left hand in his pocket. I quickly handed him a cigarette, and after lighting it, he said: "Young man, some things, even if I tell you, you won't believe. You seem like a decent person, so listen to me: hurry up and resign."

Zhou Bingkun nodded and asked me: Did you bring the gold ring?

He asked again: Did you bring the pearl necklace

"Master Zhou, could you please explain this to me in detail?" I am not a fool; at this point in the development of events, I sense that something is amiss.

Upon arriving at the dumpling restaurant, after ordering, I quietly asked: Master Zhou, I heard that you used to drive the No. 14 bus, and you also drove the last shift?

I hurriedly caught up, handed over a fine cigarette, and said with a smile, "Master Zhou, you are a senior who has driven the No. 14 bus. I would like to ask you about some matters regarding the No. 14 bus. Isn't it just the right time for a meal? When I came here, I saw a mutton dumpling restaurant that seemed to be doing quite well. How about this: I will treat you, and we can just chat as uncle and nephew, alright?"
