Chapter 24 You Can’t Persuade Someone With a Death Wish
On the bus that was carrying the souls of the dead, the gloomy negative energy was extremely dense.
Ah Qiang was slightly affected by this atmosphere. Usually, he might have just cursed a little. He definitely would not take any follow-up actions. However, now he unexpectedly walked to Luo Xiu’s side.
When the bus driver saw this, he did not dare to say a word.
That boy, Ah Qiang, seemed to be about 20 years old. Such a young man was full of vigor and was willing to fight. He couldn’t afford to offend him, especially when a girl was next to him.
The slightest misstep could trigger them to do anything. It could even lead to murder!
Ah Qiang stared at Luo Xiu. Lili was watching everything from her seat. If he chickened out now, he might not be able to sleep with her tonight. On the contrary, if he could show her masculine charm and courage now, Lili would surely worship him! With this thought, Ah Qiang’s attitude immediately became more aggressive, “I’m asking you a f*cking question. Are you deaf or mute?”
no
Luo Xiu looked at the twenty-year-old boy in front of him and said calmly, “I say, you’d better get out of the car and turn back. You’d better not get involved in this mess.”
After saying that, he looked at the window and ignored Ah Qiang. This was the only thing he could do and was also the only thing he was willing to do.
If some people wanted to die, why would he be obliged to save them? There was no need for that, and it was not worth it. He would only save those worth saving, and he would only save those he was willing to save.
As for the rest, just a reminder was enough.
However, it was indeed hard to persuade those with a death wish.
Hearing Luo Xiu’s words, Ah Qiang grabbed Luo Xiu’s collar, “How dare you f*cking show off in front of me? Where do you want me to go? Do you believe that I’ll f*cking kill you?”
S aco
The threat was accompanied by foul language as it came out of Ah Qiang’s mouth. It seemed like he was trying to show off his strength.
Lili seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. Those so-called masculine charms were just Ah Qiang’s wishful thinking. She was not impressed.
At least, there was no need to make a scene.
“Ah Qiang, forget it. One look, and you can tell that this person is not right in the head. Just ignore him. It’s not worth it!”
As she said this, Lili pulled Ah Qiang’s arm and brought him back to his seat.
Luo Xiu had no intention of making a move from the beginning. He did not even say anything.
Ah Qiang felt extremely satisfied. As expected, this guy was a coward. He did not dare to say anything after just a few casual threats!
Thinking of his “heroic” appearance just now, Ah Qiang felt a wave of pride. He sat arrogantly on his seat with one foot up.
As for Luo Xiu, he did not even look at Ah Qiang. If he wanted to die, he would just let him die. He had already said what he should have said. The rest was just their destiny.
Soon, the bus stopped again. Unlike the previous quiet stops, this stop was lively, or rather… It was chaotic.
All kinds of people were shuttling in and out of the vicinity, busy with something.
Some were holding microphones, some were carrying cameras, and some onlookers were hiding far away, using their mobile phones to record all of this.
At the front, one after another, people wearing fire-fighting uniforms carried their equipment to Qi Mountain.
On top of Qi Mountain, a vast mountain fire was taking place. The sky was bright red. If this was not caused by a disaster, it would be beautiful.
Ah Qiang and Lili got off the bus excitedly with bags on their backs, as if the photos they took would make them famous. After the two of them got off the bus, Luo Xiu stood up and walked toward the door.
This time, the bus driver took a careful look at Luo Xiu. He was wearing a long black robe and a pair of round-framed glasses with thin edges. Under his feet was a pair of old-fashioned black canvas shoes that young people would not wear.
Although this outfit looked out of place, it gave Luo Xiu an elegant and easygoing temperament. It was a perfect combination without any disharmony.
As the driver was slightly stunned, Luo Xiu came to his side and said softly, “Wait a minute before driving away.”
After saying that, he took out a hundred-dollar note and placed it in the change box.
The driver was slightly stunned. Then, he immediately smiled and said, “No problem. I can even wait for five minutes before driving.”
“One minute is enough.” After saying that, Luo Xiu got out of the car.
Previously, when Luo Xiu asked the driver to wait, the driver would only think that he was a weirdo. The way he looked at Luo Xiu was filled with disdain, vigilance, and unfriendliness.
That was because he did not receive any benefits. The coins that Luo Xiu put in the change box were for the bus company. It had nothing to do with him.
However, his attitude was great this time because the 100 yuan note was his tip.
Of course, he was pleased.
Although he still thought Luo Xiu was a psychopath in his mind, his expression and tone were much more cordial.
After Luo Xiu got out of the car, Ah Qiang and Lili naturally saw him too.
The two started to mock and ridicule him, “I thought you’re all high and mighty. Didn’t you come here to take advantage of the disaster too?”
Luo Xiu ignored them. He just looked at the car door silently.
This made the driver feel a little uncomfortable. He instinctively turned his face to the side and counted the time in his mind. He just wanted to wait for one minute and then drive as far away from this rich lunatic as possible.
He did not know that Luo Xiu was not looking at him. Luo Xiu was looking at the wandering souls getting off the bus.
Every wandering soul had a complicated or shocked expression when they got off the bus and saw the fire on Qi Mountain.
The place that was mercilessly devoured by the raging fire was their home when they were alive.
Now, it was all gone.
