Chapter 87: Red Head Four
Four.
Lao Li's car repair shop has been in Luozhuang Town for more than 20 years, and although the business is not very good, it has never cut off the source of customers. Especially in the past two years, there are often more than three or four cars parked outside the shop, waiting to be cleaned or repaired. However, since it is close to the mountains, it is often visited by trucks, so these customers are the main customers. At that time, Ah Xiu faintly felt a bit of a hidden danger, because the repair shop is located on the edge of the crossroads, if there is more than one relatively large truck parked in front of the store, the view at the turn will be obstructed, and there are only straight lights at the intersection without turning lights, so if the passing driver does not pay much attention when turning, it is easy to have an accident.
Once, she almost bumped into a woman who lived near here, so as soon as the woman passed by the store, she would repeatedly tell Ah Xiu about it, and threatened to sue them for obstructing traffic if they didn't solve the problem.
But a few times Ah Xiu mentioned this to her husband and father-in-law, they didn't care much, one was that they couldn't control this kind of thing, there was no wider place to park around, and they couldn't stop doing the truck drivers' business for this little thing, or for a woman's chatter and complain. Second, although there are potential safety hazards, there has never been any major problem over the years, and occasionally there is a rubbing, which is equivalent to pulling business for your own store.
"People, as long as you pay attention to yourself, nothing will happen after all. This is a sentence that Lao Li often hangs on his lips.
So every time Ah Xiu talked, they listened and listened, and never took any actions to improve.
But as the saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come.
Just when Lao Li's father and son thought that there would be no major problems at all, a disaster came unexpectedly, causing their business and even their lives to plummet after that.
It was the evening of December 22 last year.
Why do you remember the time so clearly, because it was the winter solstice. Due to the special day, the car repair business is a little better than usual, because the drivers who run the transport have a set of particulars, such as the winter solstice, it is best not to go out at night until the last resort, because this day is a ghost door open, for fear of encountering something unclean on the road, causing accidents.
Aren't you most afraid of accidents when you go out?
Therefore, many drivers will find a hotel to live in after arriving in the town, and some will simply send the car to the car repair shop for maintenance, so the Li family car shop is extremely busy on this day, and because Nan Nan is still young, Ah Xiu has to take care of it all day long, so he is not very able to help the shop.
When he said this, Ah Xiu looked at me thoughtfully and said, "If I had taken the time to look at it that day, maybe there would have been nothing left, but I took Nan Nan out again that day, because of the winter solstice...... Thinking that I couldn't help the shop anyway, I simply ran to the vegetable market to buy some fresh shrimp dumplings......"
Ah Xiu had a habit before giving birth to a child, and every time a truck came, he would make a mark with something more conspicuous in those places that were easy to block the view, so that when cars or pedestrians came and went, they would at least stay a little and pay attention to the soles of their feet. But since I gave birth, I haven't had time to do that.
Originally, on the day of the winter solstice, she saw five or six trucks parked in front of the store, and even a medium-sized truck of more than 6 tons, so she felt a little worried, but when she saw that the two men were so busy that they couldn't even take care of saliva, and there were fewer cars on the road that day, she didn't say anything, and she was pestered by Nan Nan and kept shouting to eat shrimp dumplings, so she quickly forgot about this stubble.
When she returned home after buying groceries, she was stunned because she saw many people surrounding the door of her car repair shop, as well as police cars and ambulances.
hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and rushed in, at that time Ah Xiu thought that something had happened to his family.
But when she arrived at the open space where she was stopped by the police, she saw at a glance that it was a little girl who was no more than ten years old.
Skinny and small, wearing a snow-white suit, it looks like a new sweatshirt that has just been changed.
Such a clean color, half of the body is stained red with blood, and it looks shocking in the night.
What's even more pitiful is that half of the little girl's body was crushed so that almost all of it was close to the ground, so miserable that people couldn't look at it directly.
Apparently, she was run over by a truck with a large tonnage.
However, the car and the driver were long gone, and in front of the shop that was originally full of cars, only two cars remained, and all the other trucks were gone.
Listening to the whispered discussion of the onlookers, the girl still had a breath when she was found, with blood foaming in her mouth, and her eyes were wide open looking at the people around her. But in the end, he couldn't get the ambulance and died.
Those people also said that they shouldn't go out in white clothes during the winter solstice, such a young child wears a full set of white clothes, wandering around on the road on the night of the winter solstice, who is the ghost looking for her?
And just as they were chattering so much about the scene of the car accident, a woman rushed through the crowd like crazy with her hair overhead, pushed away the police who tried to stop her, threw herself in front of the girl's corpse, hugged her head and cried.
She cried for a while, and no one dared to go up and pull her or persuade her.
Later, the police were the first to react and went up to pull her away from the corpse. But after a long time, she struggled to rush back, and then the whole person threw herself into her daughter's blood, stretched out her bloody hand and pointed to the Li family's car repair shop, and said sharply: "This is the shop! Comrade policeman! This is the shop that killed my daughter! I want them to pay with blood!
When she learned the way the woman spoke, Ah Xiu's face turned white.
I don't know if it was too much devotion, or the situation at that time had too deep an impact on her, she looked at me intently, and her expression looked a little distorted: "You don't know how scared I was at the time, because she was the woman who was almost hit by a car in front of my store, so she often came to complain about the parking problem in front of my house." ”
"Is that her?" I was a little surprised, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental.
"Yes. She smiled bitterly, lowered her head and hugged her daughter again: "I really didn't expect her daughter to be crushed to death by a car in front of my store, and I didn't expect this woman to be so terrible, even more terrible than a ghost......
