Happy and unhappy.

looked at the watch, read the seconds, and finally got off work, but was forced by Old Man Ding to stay and work for an extra hour.

Out of the gate of the unit, he let out a long sigh of joy, and then slowly walked in the direction of home.

The street lamp is a little dim, so dark that you may not be able to see each other's faces clearly, and you can walk slowly and happily, the cicadas in early summer are stronger than a sound, and the uniform jacket has long been opened by him, and even the first two buttons of the white shirt have not been spared, and the big black-framed glasses cover the face and can't see the expression clearly, and you can only faintly hear him muttering from time to time.

"Stinky old man, bully me in a different way, call me Xiaomi'er, you are Xiaomi'er... No, you're not millet, you're old rice, brown rice, chicken rice, you're... If Lao Tzu hadn't been the youngest in the bureau, he would have thought of 10,000 ways to take revenge on the stinky old man, but he could only stop thinking about it, after all, he was a master.

"I said Xiao'er, this... Young people, you should have a correct mentality, be humble in front of the master, listen to the master's experience and experience, and understand the master's thoughts... This one... Tomorrow morning at work, the old square head at the door of the unit will go to buy two fritters, a bowl of tofu brain, no garlic juice, more sesame sauce... Where did I say this? That's it for now, and I'll tell you when I think of it..."

When I remembered Lao Dingtou's words before getting off work, his eyes were full of the master's obscene smile, and his back molars were clucking.

“… Ding..."A cell phone chime saved his back molars.

"9:15, No. 92 Huaihai Road, 1" happily clicked on the email, the content is very short, just a few words.

"Alas, 12 minutes, it's too late. Silently put away the phone, looked at no one four times, and happily bit the index finger of his left hand and pointed it on his eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, the joy disappeared in place.

In the past 20 years, the development of Beihe District in Jincheng has been very fast, the road is getting wider and wider, the high-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and the street lamp poles are getting newer and newer, but there will always be a place where the big eyes of the city cannot be seen, and the street lights are always dim and dim, but fortunately, the street lights are yellow, if they are pink, tsk.

In the next second, a black figure appeared under the street sign of Huaihai Road, identified the direction, gently shook his numb left hand, and walked happily towards the destination, the fine bangs swayed gently with the movement of the body, took off his glasses, revealing a pair of bright eyes, a small face is clear and delicate, beautiful like a girl. Gao's mother often said that her son's eyes follow her, because his eyes are good-looking, and other places follow Gao's father, because they are all ugly. Gao's father protested, but under Gao's mother's suppression, he accepted it humiliatingly.

Happy rubbed his sour eyes vigorously, slapped his face twice, and tried not to make his expression too heavy, although what was going to happen next had been witnessed countless times, but he still couldn't accept it indifferently.

There is only one small supermarket on the street that is still open, and the old man who looks at the store is sitting at the gate with a vest and pants, bored looking at the sparse traffic, this road is an old road, and it is still being renovated recently, it may be that the road repair has affected his business, and the hand of the uncle shaking the fan is weak and drowsy.

A semi-trailer truck drove slowly, the shabby tarpaulin symbolically covered the goods pretending to be like a hill, the screeching brakes finally stopped the behemoth, and the driver impatiently lit a cigarette and cursed something.

At the moment when the driver's lighter just lit a cigarette, I heard a loud "bang", and a huge impact hit the big truck, and the driver's cigarette had already flown away, and the person was pressed on the steering wheel, with his head against the front windshield, and he was stunned.

Happy standing on the road next to him, he saw the black sedan rear-end the cargo, the huge momentum made the car clinging to the butt of the cargo, saying that it was sticking, but in fact, the front of the car had almost been knocked out, and the ground was full of fragments, stirring up the floating soil on the road.

The old man of the supermarket was woken up by the loud noise, ran to the side of the car, poked his head into the compartment, and shouted back to Xing Xing while watching, "Young man, don't be stunned, there was an accident, call 110!"

The truck driver jumped off the car with great difficulty, shook his dizzy head and walked back, the moment he was hit, he realized that he might be rear-ended, often running on the road, how can he not crash, they are all old drivers, but something is inevitable or nervous, people are fine, right? Thinking of this, my head was no longer dizzy, and I quickly ran two steps.

Happy and hard to let his beating heart stabilize, after playing 110 and 120, his hands still couldn't stop trembling slightly, although he has experienced such a scene or several scenes every week for 3 years, but once again he saw a life slowly passing in front of him, he still couldn't accept it indifferently.

He didn't have to look, the driver of the sedan was dead.

The truck driver and the supermarket man were circling around the broken car, the frame was knocked out, the door was stuck, and it couldn't be opened for a while, and only a person could be vaguely seen lying on the steering wheel, his eyes were full of blood.

About five meters away from the car, a vague figure appeared, black trousers, white shirt, and a pale face with a frightened and surprised expression, frightened followed by sluggishness, he looked at the unrecognizable car in a daze, raised his hands and looked at it, sluggish followed by a long time of dazedness.

Happy walked next to the figure and stretched out his hand to point to the car, "Big brother, it's you in the car, you just had a car accident, you're dead, there is still half an hour to go, if you have an unfulfilled wish or someone you want to see, tell me, I'll try to help you." ”

"I... I'm dead? I... This..."The figure was subconsciously stunned for a moment when he heard the happy words, and he looked at himself from head to toe, as if he couldn't accept that he was already a revenant.

It's nonsense, and no one can accept that they're dead for a while.

"Time is a little tight, if you waste it like this, you can only leave with regrets," happily glanced at his watch, the second hand was ticking, not in a hurry, in fact, he was not obliged to do this, but he didn't know why, and his heart was sour.

"Where am I going?"

"Go where you need to go. ”

“… I want to see my wife and son..."After a brief silence, the figure said faintly.

Happy silently wrote down the address and name of the figure and sent it out in an email, and he led the figure to the side of the road, under the dim street lamp.

Happy took out a box of cigarettes and handed one to the figure, the figure waved his hand, "I won't",

"It's not smoke, it can help you communicate with your wife and son, 15 minutes, long story short," happy himself also took out a dot, and the smoke emitted formed a purple air mass around the figure, slowly rotating and not dissipating.

Then there was a long whisper and a low cry, and the joy did not listen carefully, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in sad emotions.

He was just a 20-year-old boy who occasionally needed to guide spirits who died on the road after work at night.

This is the work he occasionally needs to work overtime after work in the evening.

Therefore, he has witnessed a fresh life slowly dissipate before his eyes countless times.

He asked Lao Dingtou why he didn't save them if he could predict the car accident in advance, and Lao Dingtou told him that everything has cause and effect, and cause and effect cannot be moved.

To be honest, he didn't particularly understand that the education he received since he was a child was that saving a life was better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and he was entangled and guilty about it, after all, a life was lost in front of him, but he couldn't do anything.

The purple air mass slowly dissipated, and the orphans and widows under the street lamps hugged each other and cried together, some things are destined to be unchangeable, such as life and death.

With the sound of shrill sirens, the fire and police officers who arrived laboriously sawed open the deformed car door, lifted the driver out of the car, and sent him to the ambulance, and the figure's wife and son still followed the ambulance to the hospital, although they already knew about her husband's death, but they could not tell others, and even if they did, others would think that she was hallucinating due to excessive grief.

The tail lights of the ambulance eventually disappeared into the darkness, and the figure was happily led to the nearest intersection.

Coming to the side of the tree selected in advance, he happily squatted down and lit two cigarettes on both sides of the tree, and as the cigarette burned, the purple smoke reappeared, slowly forming two straight lines, and the shadow of the tree stretched out until it returned to the darkness not far away, which was the passage opened by the guide for the undead.

"It's almost time, let's go. Glad glad at the figure, stretched out his hand and pointed to the passage,

"Thank you for letting me see my family one last time... Can I know your name?"

"Beihe District guide, my name is happy. ”

"I am grateful for my kindness, and if there is an afterlife, I will repay it. ”

The figure solemnly bowed slightly to Xingxing, thanking him for fulfilling his wish to reunite with his family for the last time, and then walked towards the passage step by step.

Everyone must go down according to the established rules, no one can escape,

I was glad to see him step by step into the darkness, with words in his mouth,

Rest in peace, O soul whose life has passed away,

Do not depart with sorrow and pain,

It's just a different kind of rebirth,

May you protect the most important people in your life with all your might,

Keep the darkness away from them.
