去年，那是一个雨夜，我在国道上拦了一辆车回重庆，现在回想一下，那应该是辆很破的老式客车，车子很空，在车子的最后一排坐着一位少女，她旁边有一排空座。我走过去问她：“这个位子我可以坐吗？”她微笑的点了点头，她很美，美得有点让人惊讶。她穿着一条素色的长裙，出于一种男人的本性，于是我便和她聊了起来。我和她聊了一些我的往事。

她听的很入神，讲到情深之处她还有一些感触。接着，她的话匣子也打开了。她说：“我今年22岁，小时候很苦。在我五岁生日那天，爸爸突然走到我面前对我说：明天妈妈就会离开我们，不要伤心。那时我还小，并没有在意。第二天早上醒来，我听到妈妈过世的噩耗。我用一种诧异的神看着爸爸，他只是对我苦苦地笑。就这样爸爸、我和弟弟三人又过了几年，在我十岁生日那天晚上，爸爸泪流满面的对我说：明天弟弟也要离开我们了。”I asked, “Brother, where are you going?” Dad said: "Brother is going to mom's place." That time I also didn't care. > > > Again after a day, brother mysteriously disappeared from the world, I felt fear and went to find dad. Dad looked at me with a cold gaze without saying anything. Then for these years, I lived well but on my fifteenth birthday morning, dad tidied up everything in the house and celebrated my birthday. In the evening he suddenly said: "Tomorrow dad will leave you too." He handed over an envelope to me and said: "Wait until you're 20 years old before opening it - everything will be explained then."

I was afraid - I feared that what dad had said might all be true. And so it was - a year later when he actually left me by the river where they found his body.

As she spoke of her past pain in detail with tears streaming down her face once again,

she continued saying:

"Just like this way alone suffering through life till three more years passed by, Ah-gang entered my life as well as which we shared together just another year or two gone away suddenly one day Ah-gang vanished without trace though hunted high and low everywhere couldn't find him heart shattered into pieces.

Finally made it through until twenty came around opened up that letter left behind by father written thusly: Lian'er know how tough have been those few years but at age eighteen meet man would recognize only a year later he'd leave no need looking for him cannot possibly find him tomorrow our family reunited.

The chill ran down my spine upon hearing this story

and asked her once again about her age

"Twenty-two now," she replied while living comfortably with family members at home who loved them dearly.

Suddenly shivering uncontrollably

realized why there hadn't been any passengers coming forward to buy tickets yet

and glanced out towards window rain pouring heavily blurring vision

asked driver loudly:

"Where are we?"

Driver ignored me

feeling nonexistent existence within his gaze

turned back around searching desperately for girl

not there anymore already sitting beside me on other side...
