Chapter 9 first quarter

Because of work, I often fly around the world.Once I went on a business trip to a small country in Africa. When I returned, I found that the airline had temporarily canceled the flight I had booked.I had a meeting in China that I couldn’t miss, so I had the audacity to pester the people of the airline, threatening and begging.I probably can’t stand my soft words, a black clerk secretly told me that there is a charter flight to China that is scheduled to take off tonight, and will be personally supervised by the president of the local overseas Chinese chamber of commerce. With the permission of a president, maybe I can grab a seat.

I got the instructions and walked around this small terminal building a few times, which really led me to find the president.He was standing at the gate of the airport with a secretary, seemingly waiting for something.I walked over to explain my situation. The chairman hesitated for a while, and asked for my passport, then turned around and handed it to the secretary next to me.After taking the passport, the secretary opened it for a few moments, took out a pen to write and draw in a notebook, and returned the passport to me after a while, nodding at the president.I think they are probably checking my background, which is understandable, after all, I am an unplanned person.The chairman wrote me a note, saying that the plane would take off at 8:00 pm, and told me not to go too early.Then he shook my hand and said in a low voice: "This is a chartered flight, you should keep a low profile, talk less and sleep more."

As we were talking, a bus drove up from a distance.The whole body of this bus is black, the windows are covered by curtains, and even the windshield of the driver's seat is made of one-way see-through film. The president seemed a little nervous, waved me to leave as soon as possible, and then walked over with the secretary.I sneaked a look back and saw that the bus door slid open after the bus stopped, but no one got out of the bus.The president didn't get in the car either, he just stood at the door and looked in, muttering something.I found a coffee shop in the terminal to kill two hours, and arrived at the boarding gate between five minutes and eight o'clock.There was no one there, it was as quiet as a cave.If it wasn't for the prompt on the information screen, I would have thought I was going wrong.I looked out through the glass and saw a 747 200 C of Air China parked by the boarding bridge, brightly lit inside.I was very surprised, because this type of Boeing aircraft is rarely produced, and I have never heard of Air China buying it.

The 747 200 C is a mixed type of passenger and cargo. There is also a cargo door on the side of the fuselage of this aircraft, indicating that it is usually used as a cargo aircraft.Even if this model is converted into a passenger plane, it is just a cargo plane with movable seats installed in the cargo hold. It is very uncomfortable to sit on, and the facilities are old. The only advantage is that it is relatively spacious.It stands to reason that such a plane would not be chosen for a chartered flight back home.But when I thought about it again, I was relieved.In such a small African country, airlines will not allow new models to fly.It is said that in some neighboring countries, Yun-7 and 727 can even be seen. Compared with them, the 200C is considered a cutting-edge model.

I walked across the boarding bridge and saw a curvaceous Chinese stewardess at the cabin door.She was standing in front of the console on the outside of the cabin door, spraying perfume on her body in one hand, and holding the intercom phone in the other hand, saying: "Yes, yes, I'm already on the plane." She was talking when she suddenly saw me standing Next to him, there was a cry of "ah", and the microphone fell to the ground. I thought to myself that the stewardess was really not prudent, so I pretended not to see it and handed her the president's note.She glanced at the note, bent over and picked up the phone from the ground, probably reporting to the captain.She said "hmm" a few times, put down the phone, and made a helpless gesture to me: "Sir, because you are a temporary supplementary guest, there is only one seat to choose." I said it doesn't matter, as long as I can return to China on time .

"Then come with me." The stewardess entered the cabin after she finished speaking, and I heard her mutter in a low voice when she turned around: "What's wrong with this person." Pretend not to hear. The cabin at 200C is cramped, and the air conditioner is turned up so high that it's even a little cold.I was walking in the aisle, looking at the writhing buttocks of the stewardess in front of me, my heart was still like water.The plane was packed, but surprisingly quiet.The passengers were all wearing the same blue jacket and black trousers, with a yellow hard hat buckled on their heads, and each of them fell asleep.

The stewardess walked to the tail of the plane, and Lanhua pointed her finger: "Sir, you can sit here." I saw that this was the last row, and there were only two seats side by side.There was already someone by the porthole, a big fat man, dressed like the others, but he was awake, trimming his nose hair with a pair of scissors.When he heard the sound, he turned his head, and only then did I notice that it was a disfigured face with black spots all over it. From a distance, it looked like a sesame seed full of flies, with big crooked teeth, bulbous nose, and two scars. Thick black eyebrows, in short... well, not too ordinary, not too artistic.

The big face is quite enthusiastic, and he came over to strike up a conversation as soon as I sat down.I don't want to be too negligent, so I chatted with him one after another while buckling up my seat belt, and exchanged business cards.This person is from Huaihua, Hunan, and his name is Liu Didu, which is quite strange.It is said that a fortune teller took it for him, saying that the soil in his fortune was too thick, and it was buried in it without digging, so now he has come to Africa to mine. Liu dug touched his nose and enjoyed it: "Let me tell you, old horse, mining is a good job. In Black Africa, as soon as you go down with a shovel, oil will rise up, and you will carry it in a net bag." Go back." I heard that his words were really unreliable, so I pretended to hum, thinking about other things in my mind.Liu Digou babbled on for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Old Ma, you were arranged to come in temporarily, right?" I nodded and said that the president arranged it.Liu Digou rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then on your way, try to sleep as much as possible and talk less, it's not a big deal." Hey, he and the president said almost the same thing.I frowned, feeling a little secretive.I asked him why, Liu scratched the back of his head, laughed a few times, and didn't answer.The plane suddenly shook and began to move slowly. I noticed that the safety explanation before takeoff was gone, and there was no reminder on the horn. I only saw the beautiful stewardess in the distance leaning over to check the seat belts row by row.She is very serious, not by scanning, but by reaching out to check seat by seat.I was surprised, where did the other stewardesses go?Was she the only one on the whole flight?This is not normal, the minimum formation is two people, not to mention this is an international flight.But I'm too lazy to pursue it, so I can do whatever I want, as long as I can return to China as soon as possible.

It was so late, and there was only one flight in the whole airport, so it didn't take long to wait on the runway, and took off quickly.The moment I left the ground, the lights in the entire cabin flickered, and I heard someone moan in the darkness, and the sound disappeared as the lights came back on.Before departure, I knew that I was going to fly a long distance, so I drank more wine, and now I felt a little sleepy, so I pushed the seat back and planned to lie down more comfortably.Unexpectedly, Liu Digou had quick eyes and quick hands, he held me down, and shouted like an enemy: "Old horse, no!" I asked him why, before Liu Digou answered, the young stewardess came over and said: " Sir, the seat cannot be adjusted throughout the flight, please cooperate." "Why?" I asked.

The stewardess and Liu Qugou looked at each other, and they both showed embarrassment. In the end, the stewardess said: "This plane is relatively old, and the company has made restrictions for flight safety. I hope you understand." Liu Gugou also knocked on the side gong: " Ma, if you want to lie down, I’ll give you a seat, so don’t lean back, you’ll hurt your spine.” When it came to this point, I had no choice but to follow the rules.When the stewardess walked away, I sniffed my nose and smelled a strange smell on her body, very similar to the mixed smell of calamus and wormwood.The strangest thing is that Liu Didu also has a similar smell.Is there any close relationship between the two of them?This is truly a combination of Beauty and the Beast.

When I raised my wrist, I found that there was a piece of reddish-brown particles on the place that Liu digging held down just now, which didn't look like soil or paint.I rubbed it with my fingers and it came off easily.I really don't know if this person is moving the plane on the red brick.At this time, I felt that the air conditioner was getting colder, so I had to grab a blanket and cover my body. The plane quickly climbed to the flight altitude, and the fuselage returned to stability.Liu Digou next to me dozed off shaking his head, snoring like thunder.I felt a little bloated in my lower abdomen, so I decided to go to the bathroom before going to bed.The toilet is right behind my seat, which is very convenient.I went to the door and opened it, only to find someone standing inside. "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the door wasn't locked, I thought it wasn't..." I was stunned in the middle of speaking, there were not one person in the toilet, but three people.These three people stood close together, standing straight, with their eyes closed, their complexion was pale, and there were still a few yellow talismans that could only be seen in movies stuck to their foreheads. "Hey, what's the matter with you? You can't open this door casually!" The young stewardess suddenly ran over and pushed the door shut, her face pale with fright. "Who is in the toilet? Why are there three people?" I panicked, "Are they asleep...or...dead?" As soon as I uttered the word "dead", I suddenly remembered that the three people were naked. There are spots on the neck—corpse spots? "I don't know, and you are not allowed to ask!" The young stewardess was a little anxious. This sentence sounded like a rascal, so I suppressed my panic and asked questions repeatedly.The flight attendant repeated that sentence, and when I questioned her to the end, she was about to cry, but she just didn't leave the toilet door.At this time, Liu Digou was woken up, ran over and grabbed my shoulders, and dragged me back to the seat: "Hey, hey, old horse, old horse, go to the fire, go to the fire, this is not an adult movie, Why are you fighting with the flight attendant in front of the toilet?" I stared and said, "Old Liu, there are corpses in the toilet! And there are more than one! There are three corpses on the plane, what is going on?" Liu Qugou was not surprised at all, but squinted his eyes, and repeatedly said in relief: "Old horse, don't be nervous, this matter is different from what you saw." "How else can it be different?" Pat me on the shoulder: "What did I say just now, old horse? Talk less and sleep more. When you close your eyes and open them, you landed. Live your own life with peace of mind. Don't worry about it, it's not good." "" "There are three corpses in the toilet behind me now, do you understand the corpses? Dead people! You still let me sleep, how can I sleep? No wonder you don't let me lean back, brothers back to back, right? When I was in college Tired of listening to it!" When I get nervous, I talk too much, and my words are a bit incoherent.Liu Gudu forced me to the seat: "It's normal for a dead person. Didn't Wen Xiang say that? No one has died in life since ancient times." "It's Wen Tianxiang." The little stewardess reminded in a low voice. Liu Gou goggled his eyes and stared: "I'm making sense here! Is it time to pick a mistake?" I listened to their nonsense, my body struggled desperately, and my mouth kept muttering: "Let me fly with the dead, it's too It’s outrageous, it’s outrageous! I’m going to complain to you after landing.” Liu Gugou’s face was stern: “Comrade, I don’t like to hear what you say, what’s wrong with flying with a dead person? They put the toilet on your seat, No one is in the way of anyone. Seeing a dead person is inauspicious, bad luck, etc., are all feudal superstitions. Let me tell you, feudal superstitions can’t be talked about, because if you talk about it, you will be struck by lightning.” As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden click outside, and an extremely dazzling lightning flashed not far from the left side of the plane, and the entire cabin began to vibrate violently. "Oops, we're in a thunderstorm zone!" The little stewardess turned pale with fright, and slipped out a series of words from her mouth reflexively: "Now the plane is a bit bumpy, please put away the small table, go back to your seat and sit down." , don't walk in the aisle. The restroom is closed." But her voice trembled, which only made people more frightened. Liu Didu hurriedly sat next to me and buckled up his seat belt: "Old horse, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. Let's talk later." I saw the pockmarks on his face shrugging, Seems pretty tense.Under such circumstances, I couldn't continue to pursue it, so I had to shut my mouth and tense up to cope with the violent shaking. The entire engine room was shaking violently from side to side, all the lights were extinguished, and lightning kept flashing outside the porthole.This situation lasted for more than ten minutes before slowly returning to normal.In the confusion, I saw a shadow standing up in front of me, and then sitting down again, and there were more than one.With the flash of lightning, I can tell that the location is in the first twenty or so rows. After the plane returned to calm again, I turned my head and wanted to continue questioning Liu Goudou, but I saw him curled up on the seat, sweating profusely from his entire face and neck, holding a steel fork in his hand , muttering a strange sound in his mouth. "Old...Old Liu, are you okay?" I leaned over and asked kindly.Liu Digou glanced at me, his head drooping and his lips trembling: "Old Ma, help me see, how many people stand up in front?" I looked up, and there were three or four people standing up in front of me, standing there motionless, with their backs facing us, like wooden stakes. "Are they in the same row, or are they in different rows?" "Two are in row 26, and the remaining three are 13, 16 and 25." I counted. "Oops, oops... look again, old horse, is there anyone sitting down?" "It seems that there is no one at the moment... hey? The middle one in the 16th row has sat down again, the 13th row" Liu Digou sighed, panting Let go of the fork and grab my seat belt: "Old Ma, there is a big trouble, you have to help me." "What's the situation?" I was a little confused. Liu Digou's face changed a little, he gritted his teeth: "Old Ma, let me tell you the truth. Except for the two pilots, the stewardess and us, there is no one alive on this plane!" When I heard it, The complexion changed: "What do you mean there are no living people except us? Could it be that the people sitting in this cabin are all corpses?" Pointing to his nose, Liu Migou said with a serious face, "I'm not actually a miner." "Nonsense, which miner puts oil in a net bag!" I thought to myself. "My real identity is a mortician." "A mortician?" I gasped when I heard these three words.I have watched a documentary before, and it said that there is a mysterious ritual in Xiangxi called expelling corpses.The mortician can use magic to control the corpse to walk, and travel thousands of miles back to his hometown for burial—but that's just a legend. Seeing that I didn't believe it, Liu Gugou hurriedly untied his collar, and I saw a corpse-exorcism logo tattooed on his chest. One person walked in front, and the other followed behind.To be honest, the logo is not much different from the human-shaped logo of the toilet. "Nowadays, corpses are all about branding. You see, when I got a tattoo, I planted cinnabar, so this brand is red." Liu Qudu was a little flattered.I just remembered that the red particles on my hand were probably leftover cinnabar powder—by the way, he is from Huaihua, isn’t that the origin of Chenzhou sand? "Isn't chasing corpses a dry road? How can anyone take a plane? Besides, people usually rush in groups of three or four, why do you have more than two hundred?" "You really know a lot, but those are old people." It’s an old calendar. Now that technology has developed, witchcraft has also improved. Besides, the company pays attention to performance, who will go home step by step. I’m only able to drive more than 200. Our company has more powerful ones, which can drive 300 at a time. A dead body! Hey, after returning to China that time, we called him the King of Sparta." I saw him spit flying all over the place, pulling him further and further away, so I hurriedly pulled him back: "It's business." Liu patted his head, Said: "Fuck! I'm delaying my business again." He glanced forward, "When driving corpses, the legs of corpses are supposed to not be bent, but that's because in ancient times they could only walk on dry roads, so they used splints to protect them." It's fixed. Now we drive the corpses with the help of vehicles, so the legs are fixed in a bent state, which is convenient for sitting." "But I saw someone... er, a corpse stood up..." Liu Di Digging and slapping his thigh fiercely: "I'm just talking about this! Removing corpses pays attention to down-to-earth, this plane flies high, so it's not down-to-earth. I originally prepared a yellow helmet with a corpse-suppressing charm hidden in it, and put it on the seat belt. Unexpectedly, when a thunderstorm came just now, the amplitude of the vibration was a little bit larger, the bioelectricity came in from the off position, and was transmitted from the Kun position. The resistance level was the highest at the threshold position, which happened to be the connection point, and the result was much better. The corpse's binding celestial rope was loosened, and it lost the restraint of the earth's energy, so it just stood and sat for a while." "Let's talk about the consequences directly." I'm too lazy to listen to his big set of messy theories. "This is just a sign. If you leave it alone, you will be able to stand up and sit down by yourself when there are more than 200 corpses..." Liu Digou glanced forward, "That is a fraudulent corpse." Bodies in the 747 200 C cabin at an altitude of 10,000 meters?Just imagining it makes one's scalp tingle.My face turned livid.Liu Digou probably showed the tired look just now because he lost contact with some of the corpses. "But, you are a professional exorcist, what can I do?" "Did the president look at your passport before you boarded the plane?" "Yes." "Do you know why the president read your passport?" ?" "Didn't I check my identity?" "No, that was counting on you! If your horoscope wasn't so hard, the president wouldn't let you board this plane even if you were killed." "Don't lie to me because I don't read much. Me, at most I can only see the year, month, and day in my passport, and there are two characters missing! How do I calculate it?" "Approximate algorithm. So you are on this, it's God's will, God sent you to help us." "...you, a corpse driver in Xiangxi, still believe in Christ?" "Boss, can you not be serious? Isn't this still alive Is it the airspace of a Christian country?" Liu Didu was a little bit crazy. At this time, the little stewardess also ran over, and saw Liu Didu grabbing my arm and chattering endlessly, and saw corpses standing up and sitting down in front of me, with their small faces all white.She is probably an insider, but she is young and has never experienced such an accident. "I've always had a question." I turned to the young stewardess, "I need to confirm something with you. I just heard you say on the phone that they all caught up with the plane?" "Yes, all the bodies were killed by Liu It's time to catch the plane," said the stewardess. "All?" "Yeah." "Then what's outside the window?" I pointed.They saw a dead body hanging from the wing of the plane and swaying in the wind, like a tattered rag doll.
