Chapter 12: Hour of Horror
"Your life and death are now in your own hands......"
Seeing the boat leave, Zhang Daoran returned to the Taoist temple and began to eat, no one disturbed, and the Taoist temple returned to tranquility.
And Li Dazhuang and the two arrived at the small station in the town early the next morning and went straight to the county seat. You have to transfer to L County to get on the train, Sihu County does not have a railway station, and there is a direct train to the provincial capital in Xue County of L County.
The two of them arrived at the town station with a large bag, and I'm sorry, but the departure time in the town is not until six o'clock in the morning. The two of them waited for more than half an hour before getting on the minibus to the county seat......
The roads in the towns are always inferior to those in the cities, and there are a lot of large trucks, and the asphalt roads are full of potholes.
"Actually, this road is often repaired, but there are too many big trucks... There are a lot of coal mines in our Sihu County, and there are trucks pulling coal everywhere. ”
Sitting on the small bus, there is no need for Li Dazhuang to remind Fang Ting to understand, come once, go once, this road is like a fog, and the dilapidated road is dusty because there are too many vehicles.
Along the way, the half-hung, rear eight-wheeled trucks were full, emitting black smoke and roaring.
In just more than 30 miles, it took two hours to reach the county station, and the two of them arrived at the station before a bus to Xue County just left. The two of them had to buy tickets and wait for more than 40 minutes in the bus before starting to leave for Snow County.
"Sit down, we have to take a detour except for a series of car accidents ahead...... We're going to be walking a country road, sorry. ”
Not long after the drive, the bus stopped. When the passengers didn't know what was going on, the conductor explained it to everyone with apologies. The passenger car steered, followed by the vehicle in front, and drove towards the village concrete road.
But Fang Ting and Li Dazhuang looked at each other, glanced at the time on their mobile phones and asked, "Master, when can we get to Xue County?"
"About half past eleven in the morning, ...... at the latest twelve"
The driver replied.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the train......"
Fang Ting said with some distress: "It seems that I have to exchange my ticket and take the next train." ”
In fact, at this time, because of some policies, cement roads have been connected between villages, and it is very convenient to walk. It's just that the country roads are not wide enough after all, and there are not many vehicles taking detours. Therefore, the speed of the passenger car is very slow, and when encountering a large car, you have to carefully give way to each other.
The driver's prediction was wrong, and it was already half past one in the afternoon when the two of them arrived in Snow County......
"The next train won't be until half past eight in the evening......"
In the waiting hall of the railway station, Fang Ting sat on a chair weakly and said. The road was bumpy, from more than five o'clock in the morning to now half past one, more than eight hours, and I almost vomited all the overnight meal. So much so that both of them don't want to eat now, and they're afraid to eat and then spit it out.
When Fang Ting, who was exhausted, was already in a daze on the chair, suddenly the mobile phone rang: "Ring, ring, ring, ......"
took out her mobile phone and connected it weakly, Fang Ting's face was a little impatient: "You asked me to come to Sihu County, I came, what else is there to say?"
"Tingting, your grandfather is dying......"
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Your grandfather has a heart attack, it is very serious, and the doctor said that the probability of saving him is only one percent...... Come back soon......"
Fang Ting was stunned, the phone slipped from her hand and she didn't know it, tears flowed down her cheeks and down her face, and then rushed out of the waiting hall like crazy.
Li Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to react, pick up Fang Ting's mobile phone, and chase after him with a large bag.
"Tingting, what's wrong with you?"
Panting and running out of the train station, Li Dazhuang finally caught up with Fang Ting, who seemed to be in a state of despair, just crying silently and not speaking. Hearing Li Dazhuang's inquiry, he said in a sad voice: "My grandfather is dying......
"What the hell is this place? There are no trains at the train station, there is no airport, and it takes so much effort to get around......
Fang Ting broke out, if the journey was smooth at the beginning, she should be almost in the provincial capital at this time...... But now, they are still in this small county town and have not gone out.
"We go to the passenger station, go to take the bus, the speed is not slow, and we can return to the provincial capital in the afternoon......"
It is only five or six hundred miles away from the provincial capital, and the bus can rush back in less than four hours by taking the highway. Looking at Fang Ting, who was in chaos, Li Dazhuang finally had some calmness that a man should have, carrying a large bag and a small bag, pulling Fang Ting to stop a taxi directly and go straight to the passenger station.
......
On the bus, two people sat in the back, and Fang Ting looked out the window in despair without saying a word. Li Dazhuang didn't say much, and he didn't know how to comfort Fang Ting along the way.
As time passed, the distance was getting closer and closer, and suddenly a person sitting in the front row stood up, patted the driver's shoulder and shouted: "Master, why don't you rest in the rest area in front of you, this car, you have to think about our lives......"
The man's voice attracted the attention of many people, and some young people also noticed that the driver was very tired, as if he had not woken up in a state of chaos.
"Hey, hey... How can you be like this, you are a driver, if you are tired or do not wake up, how can you sleep while driving and treat the lives of dozens of us as a joke?"
"What about the conductor, what kind of company are you transporting, why are you so irresponsible?"
"Young man, let's not say a few words, people don't blame the ...... that is not easy"
"It's not easy, and we can't joke with our lives......"
The bus instantly became a pot of porridge, Fang Ting looked out the window, and everything in the car was indifferent. And Li Dazhuang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, stood up directly, squeezed to the driver's side and yelled: "Slow down, slow down, get close to the low-speed lane, fast!"
"Are you driving or am I driving?" and please don't disturb me......
A cold sweat was made by the sound of a car's gossip, and the driver slowly sobered up. There was some dissatisfaction on one face, but more of a fear.
"Fast, turn to the low-speed lane......"
At this moment, a semi-trailer truck appeared in front of it, and the driver was already flashing left and was about to overtake. Li Dazhuang's whole heart jumped out and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, get close to the low-speed lane, fast, the truck should also turn ......"
The driver was annoyed, and his foot, which wanted to increase the accelerator, suddenly retracted a little, because he saw that the semi-trailer truck in front of him was really showing signs of turning, and the front of the car was already diagonally overtaking lane......
A foot brake stepped on, the driver instinctively hit the steering wheel to the right, the speed slowed down, just the effect of inertia, the passenger car almost overturned, the front of the car and the rear of the semi-trailer had some intimate contact, in an instant, the headlights on the right side of the front of the car were hit sparsely......
"Ah......h
The bus shook, and the people in the whole car screamed, especially some women, who screamed again and again.
The driver was also panicked, Li Dazhuang had a frightened face on his face, and yelled: "Quickly turn to the low-speed lane!"
At this time, the noise in the car made Fang Ting also wake up, and when she saw this scene, her whole heart almost exploded, and she also shouted: "Hurry up and turn to the low-speed lane......"
Fang Ting sat in the back and clearly saw that a semi-trailer truck was rushing at a speed of more than 100 yards, and it seemed that it could no longer brake the car, and the wheels rubbed violently against the ground, pulling out a long white smoke......
The driver finally calmed down, and the vehicle regained stability, flashing left and leaning into the slow lane without danger......
"Bang ......"
"Wow ......"
The half-hang in the back resembles a crazy bison. Rubbing the glass of the bus, the broken glass, I don't know how many people were injured. The truck rushed out and crashed straight into the semi-trailer in front, and the two trucks loaded with goods collided head to end in an instant. The huge impact force of the two trucks seemed to fly out, and they cut more than ten meters horizontally on the high speed......
"It's dangerous... We almost died!"
"Picking up a life, which brother commanded it, what a genius!"
"No, I want to report, this driver is too irresponsible......"
“......”
For the rest of their lives after the disaster, some people took out their mobile phones and began to call the police, some blamed the driver, and some wanted to see Li Dazhuang.
And Fang Ting and Li Dazhuang, different from everyone at this time, the two of them were dumbfounded, and their minds kept replaying Zhang Daoran's instructions when they left the island in the middle of the lake......
"It really came true......"
