8. Chapter 8 The Man Who Doesn't Exist
Jiang Bo's eyes became a little dimmed. He glanced at me and slowly shook his head without saying a word.
I was anxious and kept asking: "Brother Jiang, if you know something, tell me. I won't hide it from you. Last night, I not only received two packages, but also a note, which told me that if I resign, I will die. I want to understand all this, even if I resign, I will leave clearly!"
"You can't resign!" What I unexpectedly expected was that before I could finish my sentence, Jiang Bo immediately stood up and looked at me.
I was startled by Jiang Bo, but I didn't expect him to be so nervous suddenly.
It should be because he realized that he was a little abnormal. Jiang Bo took a deep breath and sat down again, and said to me: "Young man, if you want to trust me, just listen to my advice and don't think about these useless things. The words on the note are true. If you don't do it, you will die."
"Why!" I gritted my teeth and asked in a grievance.
Jiang Bo sighed: "There is no reason, it's not that you chose this job, but that this job chose you."
"The only thing you can do now is to continue delivering the express delivery." Jiang Bo looked at me firmly and said.
When Jiang Bo finished speaking, my whole body seemed to have been exhausted, and I sat on the bed weakly like a deflated balloon.
After a long time, I said helplessly: "Bo Jiang, tell me, as long as I can live, I can do anything."
"You don't need to do anything." Jiang Bo stood up and patted my shoulder and said, "You just need to remember to leave Zizhulin Community before 6 o'clock every day when you deliver the express. Also, if someone asks you to help him during the express delivery process, don't help. Remember these two points I said and do as you do, there should be no problem."
I have heard what Jiang Bo said about Zhou Shun, and it is nothing difficult for me. In order to survive, I nodded without hesitation and agreed.
When I left Jiang Bona, it was around 10 o'clock noon, and there were still a few hours before work.
I didn't plan to take the bus back, but I was going to walk back for a while.
Walking on the road, my head was still drowsy, and I never thought that I was involved in such a thing because of the job of a courier.
If I had known this would happen, let alone the basic salary was 2,000, I would not have done it even if it was 2,000 yuan. I would make some money, but I actually earned it with the heads.
But from what Jiang Bo said, it seems that things are not simple.
Jiang Bo told me that it was not me who chose this job, but me who chose this job...
What does this sentence mean? Is it because of me that so many things happening? It has little to do with the job of couriers?
If it really happened because of me, how should we explain these strange things that happened to me?
Should I harm me or do something else?
I feel like I am now an experimental mouse, constantly being controlled by the big hand behind the scenes. As for what his purpose is, I haven't seen it yet, at least I haven't seen it yet.
No matter what, living is better than dying. In order to survive, I can only continue here for the time being. As for the future, let him go.
If you think it clearly, your heart will be released again.
Uncle Jiang told me that the reason why Mr. Chen came to me after he died was that he had a lasting wish, and his last wish was probably the express parcel.
As long as I send the express parcel as usual, Uncle Chen’s wish will be fine.
However, this express delivery is to be delivered to the underworld. Could it be that I would take the express delivery to the underworld?
I think this is a matter of silence. I won’t talk about how I sent this thing to the underworld. Even if I can, I wouldn’t want to go.
Where is the underworld? Don’t be close to people, why don’t you talk about it? Besides, I don’t have that great ability.
Thinking of the end, I didn't think of anything, and walked home with my head down.
When I got home it was already 11:30 noon. The moment I opened the door, I saw the package I placed on the table. At the same time, I suddenly thought of something in my mind.
Uncle Chen’s last wish is to send the package to his son. If I recall the address mentioned by Uncle Chen before, would it be fine?
But before I could make up my mind, I thought of another thing.
That is, Uncle Chen’s son works in a mine in western Sichuan. Unfortunately, he died tragically in the mine a month ago. So far... no body has been found!
I suddenly realized that Uncle Chen's son died a month ago and Uncle Chen died three days ago. Uncle Chen had no intention of sending a normal address. From beginning to end, the address he wanted to mail was Fengdu City in the underworld.
Putting the package back on the table, I sat down helplessly and took out a cigarette and started smoking.
Now I feel that my head is getting bigger. If I don’t send this package, Uncle Chen may come to me. If I send it out, I don’t know how to send it.
After hesitating for a long time, I stomped off the cigarette butts, gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, thinking that I would do whatever I should do, so I sent the things out according to the original address in western Sichuan. In this way, I also sent the things. Even if Uncle Chen asked me for trouble, I could pretend to be stupid and block it for a while.
After I decided, I was not idle, so I made some food for myself, and then walked into the store with the box that Uncle Chen wanted to mail.
It happened to be over 1:00 when we arrived at the store, and Zhang Xinxin was the only one in the store to watch the store, and the rest of the people didn't know where they went.
Seeing that there was no one, I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to Zhang Xinxin and asked, "Where is Brother Zhou and my friend?"
"They haven't come back yet after going out for dinner." Zhang Xinxin's face looked a little abnormal when she spoke, and she was hiding from me intentionally or unintentionally.
I knew what she meant, and I was too lazy to say anything to her. Just when I was about to get a pen to fill out a new express delivery form, Yu Guang suddenly noticed the computer in front of Zhang Xinxin.
I felt a little moved and asked Zhang Xinxin casually: "Can we use the computer to make express delivery orders here?"
Zhang Xinxin nodded and said yes.
I was secretly happy, but I still pretended not to care and said, "Then please help me use my computer to make a courier order."
Zhang Xinxin didn't hesitate much and nodded and asked me for the address.
Based on my impression, I reported the address that Uncle Chen had mentioned to me before, but I really don't remember the phone number. Fortunately, Zhang Xinxin deliberately avoided me and did not ask in detail. She typed out a courier form and sat aside and played with her cell phone, not planning to pay attention to me.
I didn't have the shame to talk to her, so I tore off the express delivery form and stuck it on the box, and then threw it into a pile of packages.
The express delivery order I wrote before turned into Fengdu City for no reason. Just in case I think it would be safer to use a computer to make it.
After sitting at the door of the store for a while, Zhou Shun and others came back. The other two couriers said hello to me symbolically and then were busy. I also understood in my heart that most of them didn't want to have too much involvement with me.
Qin Dayou didn't care about this, so he sat next to me with his trouser legs, smoking a cigarette and chatting.
At 1:30, several express delivery vehicles arrived one after another, almost the same as yesterday, and the express delivery in Zizhulin totaled only more than fifty.
Before leaving, Zhou Shun stopped me again and nagged me for a few words. What he said was undoubtedly not about leaving the community before 6 o'clock.
With the example of Uncle Chen yesterday, I didn’t dare to take it in front of me and kept nodding and saying I knew.
When I arrived at the Zizhu Forest, I deliberately wanted to see if Jiang Bo is there. What I was a little unexpected was that someone had changed in the security room. It was not Jiang Bo who sat in it drinking tea and listening to music, but an old man who came from somewhere.
I was a little puzzled and thought to myself that Jiang Bo was still there at noon, so why did he disappear in the afternoon? Could it be that he had something to ask for leave and asked someone to replace him?
It may be so.
I didn't think about it carefully, and got off the car and asked the old man to help me open the door. The old man's ears were a little bad, and he said it several times before he understood. I thought to myself that this old man was fortunately temporary. If it was a long time, something might happen.
With yesterday's lesson, I was just the norm for delivering express delivery this time and didn't dare to say much. When I met someone on the road, I didn't dare to look back.
When the car passed by Building 44, I couldn't help but slow down, and I couldn't help but think of Uncle Chen yesterday in my mind.
Just when I was a little dazed, someone gently patted my shoulder.
I quickly looked back and found that it was an old girl standing behind me with an umbrella.
The girl dresses very simply, and her appearance is completely worthy of the word "beauty". What fascinates people a little is that her dark eyes, when she looks at her, she feels like she falls into a deep abyss and cannot extricate herself.
“Have you seen enough?”
The girl's cold voice brought me back to my senses. I scratched my head awkwardly and asked her what was wrong.
"I'll pick up the express delivery." The girl held an umbrella and looked at the package in the back row, and said lightly.
After hearing her words, I got out of the car immediately, searching in the back row, and asked, "What's your name? How many buildings are there?"
"Five Niang." Before I could finish speaking, she spoke coldly again.
I didn't answer the rest.
I didn't ask much, because I remember there was a recipient named Wu Niang, and she had more than one express delivery. I was not curious about why the girl was called Wu Niang. The name Wu Niang was probably a pseudonym. Just now I met a man named Daniel Wu, Zizhulin.
There were not many express delivery in the back row, but soon three black bags were found, and the items inside should be clothes.
I tore off the express delivery form and asked her to sign it. She didn't say much, but bent down and picked up a pen to count the word Wu Niang on the express delivery form.
After signing the signature, she left without looking back.
Looking at the girl's back as she left, I was a little confused, thinking that the sun was not strong this afternoon and it didn't rain. As for the umbrella that has been holding?
Somehow, I couldn't help but think that Uncle Chen was a ghost in my mind, and I was shocked.
Isn't this girl a ghost, right?
I didn't dare to think too much, so I quickly packed up the express delivery order and stepped on the three donkeys to continue looking forward.
After I sent a few stores, the cell phone in my pocket rang. I took it out and took a look. I found that it was the alarm clock I set myself, which rang on time at 5:40 in the afternoon.
There are not many express delivery left in the back row, so I didn’t dare to continue delivering it with me, and without saying a word, I turned around and drove the three donkeys out of the purple bamboo forest.
There was no accident on the road this time. What was strange was that the old man with his ears was still sitting in the security room.
I muttered in my heart, got out of the car and walked straight towards the security room.
I reached out and knocked on the glass, and I pointed to my throat and said loudly: "Uncle, I'm a little thirsty after working for a whole afternoon. How about asking for saliva?"
While talking, I took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man.
Seeing that I handed me a cigarette, the old man didn't say anything, opened the door for me and let me in, and poured me a glass of water.
I stood in the security room with water, took a sip, and asked casually: "Uncle, where is Jiang Bo, the guardian? Why aren't he here?"
