District C was a relatively quiet place.Although it was in a dilapidated state,there were still a few lights flickering from time to time.
I worked all night,but I didn't feel sleepy at all.Instead,I didn't sweat much.
But when I drove out of District C and headed home,the sweltering heat of the midsummer rushed towards me all at once.
I turned on the flashlight on my phone and shone it in the corridor.I don't know which guy made the corridor lights flicker today.
I walked in the corridor,cursing.From time to time,there were stinking garbage bags,and maybe there were even cleanly eaten watermelon rinds hidden,waiting for me to fall on my face.
In the quiet corridor at midnight,the sound of marbles rolling on the ground could be heard from time to time,tugging at my heartstrings.
Since I started delivering food in District C,there were clearly not many orders in the previous few days.But the expression of that young man always made me unforgettable.
I quickly opened the door of my rented room.With a crisp sound,damn it,my old light bulb finally burned out.
This is really unlucky.When a person is at the peak of bad luck,even drinking a mouthful of cold water will get stuck in his teeth.
I plunged into the shower room and let the cold water wash over my head.
For some reason,although it was a sweltering night,under the cold water,I felt a chill from the inside out.
Thinking of the weasel in District C that was holding a dead mouse and the young man's meaningful smile,my scalp tingled.
When I dried my hair and looked at myself in the mirror with bloodshot eyes,I felt a bit relieved...
Working the night shift every day is almost killing me.
I slapped my face,trying to wake myself up.
And behind me in the mirror,there seemed to be a black shadow,which then disappeared in a flash.
Don't look in the mirror after 12 o'clock.
I don't know where this warning came from,but it popped into my mind,scaring me.
When I came to my senses,in front of the mirror was myself,tired all over.
I groped for my old pants that I had taken off and looked for a lighter to light a cigarette to relieve my mental fatigue.
A crumpled paper ball rolled out of my pocket along with the lighter.
"Hmm?Isn't this the tip that guy gave me?"
I picked up the lighter in the dark and lit it.Under the light of the fire,the bill looked a bit greenish.
I carefully unfolded the bill.As my first tip in life,I treated it with a bit of solemnity.
What came into view was a familiar yet strange bill,on which it clearly said!
Heaven and Earth Bank!
At that moment,I was almost shaking all over with goosebumps because when I received the bill,I clearly saw it.
It was a five-dollar bill!
And with the continuous recollection in my mind,the last lip shape of the young man in the rearview mirror seemed to be...
"We will meet again..."
"Are you trying to scare me,you son of a bitch?!"
I blurted out these words.Anyway,I'm not someone who can be easily scared.
Already feeling irritable,I grabbed the hell banknote,lit it with the lighter's flame,and then threw it out of the window.
The smell of the burning hell banknote lingered in the room for a long time and refused to dissipate.
"If you have the guts to do this,you have the guts to come find me."
After shouting loudly twice,I threw the lighter away.And the smell of the burning hell banknote made me feel a bit dizzy.
I fell onto the pillow,and the paper ashes that fell under the window drifted away with the night wind,not knowing where they went...
