Chapter 290: Nine Lives (巳)
At this time, the neighbors had already come out of the house with the bed quilt and lifted Lao Zhang to the quilt, Lao Zhang's eyes were closed, his face was pitch black, the part of his hair on the top of his head was all burnt, and the hair behind his ears was still intact, and he looked a little funny, just like the hairstyle of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But at this time, no one paid attention to this, they were all busy pinching him, pressing his chest, and it seemed that he was still saved.
Seeing that he couldn't intervene, the police hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact the institute and urge the ambulance to come quickly.
A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the mouth of the alley, and the police organized people to carry Lao Zhang out. Grandma Cai also wanted to go to the hospital with her, but everyone was afraid that she would get old and make a mistake, so they kept her. After the ambulance drove away, the police on duty returned to the courtyard and carefully asked Grandma Cai what happened that night, before figuring out the cause and effect.
It turned out that when it was raining heavily at night, accompanied by a gust of wind, Grandma Cai's house was an old-fashioned TV with an antenna connected to a bamboo pole on the roof. It is estimated that the wind was strong, which blew the antenna down, and the TV turned into a full screen of snowflakes. Grandma Cai waited for the rain to stop, so she went to the east house to call Lao Zhang to help and straighten the TV antenna on the roof.
Lao Zhang didn't say a word, moved the ladder and went to the house, when he tied the antenna to the bamboo pole again, and inserted the bamboo pole into the hole in the corner of the roof, a thunderbolt fell, and the entire roof was reflected purple red by the strong light, a ball of light hit the antenna, and Lao Zhang, who grasped the bamboo pole, wrapped it, Lao Zhang snorted, fell on the roof, and then rolled down the tiles of the eaves.
Fortunately, there is a grape trellis under the eaves, and Lao Zhang falls on the grape trellis. The grape trellis was made of wooden strips more than an inch wide, and Lao Zhang fell on it, the wooden strips were broken from the middle, and Lao Zhang fell to the ground again, and he was motionless at that time. Grandma Cai was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and when she ran over to help him, she found that Lao Zhang was no longer breathing. Grandma Cai hurriedly went to the yard next door to call someone, and the neighbor next door rushed to touch Lao Zhang's wrist and found that there was still a weak pulse, so she was busy calling the emergency center and calling the police station.
The police on duty finished the record, Grandma Cai also received a call from the hospital, fortunately it was delivered in time, when Lao Zhang arrived at the hospital, his heart had stopped, and it took half an hour to save him, but the good news is that Lao Zhang was in addition to a little local burns, and his lower arm bone was fractured when his arm landed, and there was nothing wrong with other aspects of his body, and he was discharged from the hospital in about a week.
I put down this record and picked up the next one, which was from December '97 and had nothing to do with No. 89. It happened at the intersection of justice. There is a five-story old residential building at the intersection of Zhengyi Road, because it is just facing the street, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and an advertising company has erected a five-meter-high, more than ten meter-long billboard on the roof of the building.
That winter there was a strong wind, and the weather station said that the wind reached level 9 at its peak, and the advertising agency cut corners during production, and the strong wind blew the billboard down. Fortunately, it was eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, so no one died. However, the falling steel frame smashed several cars parked nearby, and when the police station went to the police, they learned about the situation from the onlookers, and this exit record is the testimony left by witnesses who were present at the time.
I simply flipped through the two pages, found nothing unusual, and looked at Deputy Director Li suspiciously. Deputy Director Li said to me with a wry smile: "At that time, the nearest witness to the billboard was sitting in a Jetta parked on the side of the road, and the front of the car was smashed by the billboard, and the people in the car saw the whole process of the billboard falling, because he was parking on the side of the road at that time, and he was smashed into it a tenth of a second earlier, or a little faster." This is a description of one of the people in the car. ”
Deputy Director Li pointed to the bottom lines of the page as he spoke. I took a closer look and suddenly found that there was a handwritten signature at the end of the line, which was Zhang Jinguo.
"It's Lao Zhang in the car, Director Li, Lao Zhang doesn't seem to know how to drive, who is the person driving the car, do you know?" I didn't bother to hide my shock, and asked Deputy Director Li.
"I don't know, I didn't leave any records at that time, this police record was turned out, and it was also a coincidence, I arranged for the police to check the information today, just the police who went out on that day, he felt that the life in the smashed car was a bit big, and he talked and behaved like a teacher, so he subconsciously paid attention to his name, and today I remembered it, and I turned out this police record. ”
"Lao Chang, before you came, I probably flipped through it, you said, people say that if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, right? But this Lao Zhang, how many times has he not died in a big disaster, but why is it difficult to follow behind? I've seen a little back, but I've never seen someone like him carry it like this. If it were me, I guess I wouldn't have been able to stand these scares for a long time, so I would have jumped into the river myself. Deputy Director Li sighed and handed me a cigarette.
I don't know how to answer his question for a while, but a person encounters so many moments of life and death in such a short period of time, this is unreasonable, abnormal is a demon, there must be cause and effect in it that I didn't expect.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Deputy Director Li handed me a few more pieces of paper, "Lao Chang, look at this again, it has nothing to do with that Teacher Zhang, but it has something to do with No. 89 Hospital." ”
I took these pages and read them carefully, and it was still the case reported by Grandma Cai, and the time was from November '97 to March '98, as many as four times. But each time the content is similar, about the cruelty of animals.
The first time occurred in the middle of November '97, when Beijing had just experienced a cold snap from Siberia, and it snowed heavily for a day and a night. Early in the morning, Grandma Cai was sweeping the snow in the yard, sweeping and sweeping, she found that under the big locust tree in the northwest corner of the yard, there were a little drops of blood on the snow that had been frozen, black and purple, Grandma Cai felt strange, where did this blood stain come from in the winter?
The big locust tree in the yard is more than 100 years old, and it is estimated that it is older than this yard. The tree required two people to hug each other, and the huge canopy almost covered half of the yard. In spring, the acacia flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance can be smelled outside half of the alley. Every time the acacia flowers bloom, the No. 89 courtyard will be very lively, and the neighbors will come to pick the locust flowers.
There are actually a lot of locust trees in that alley, but everyone just likes this one in No. 89 yard, saying that its flowers are more fragrant and sweeter. The picked acacia flowers are chopped up and ground with meat stuffing to make dumplings, which is a rare seasonal delicacy.
Grandma Cai found that the blood stain was in a small piece of about a square meter under the tree, and there was no other place, she realized something, and looked up at the locust tree.
At this time, the leaves of the big locust tree have long since fallen, leaving only the brown and black branches swaying slightly in the cold wind, and the snow on the branches is scattered one after another, forming a faint mist. Grandma Cai found that on the largest branch, there was a black shadow gently swaying with the cold wind. Grandma Cai's eyes were not very good, and she hurriedly called Mr. Cai, who put on his glasses and looked at them carefully for a long time, saying that it seemed that whose bacon was hanging on it.
Lao Zhang of the East House went out to run errands, and he didn't come back last night, so Grandma Cai called the little six sons in the next courtyard to help come and see. Xiao Liuzi is just twenty this year, and he just got in touch with work after graduating from technical school, and he went to report to work after the New Year.
Xiao Liuzi moved a ladder and climbed up the tree, there was a lot of snow on the tree, it took a lot of effort, and he almost fell down several times, only then did he climb the thickest branch, and moved two steps forward along the thick branch, and Xiao Liuzi was less than two meters away from the hanging black shadow.
Xiao Liuzi looked at it carefully, and suddenly his face changed, his body shook, and he almost didn't plant it, he grabbed a thick branch tightly with his right hand, and then stabilized his figure.
Seeing Xiao Liuzi's reaction, Grandma Cai was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked him what was on it. Xiao Liuzi gasped for a long time, and then said that he didn't see it clearly, he pulled out a clothes pole more than one meter long from his back, moved a step forward, and stabbed the black shadow hanging between the branches with the clothes pole, as if he finally understood what it was, the muscles on his face suddenly twisted, and he threw the clothes pole, ignoring the danger, he moved two steps, hugged the tree trunk, and squatted down.
Grandma Cai was even more surprised in her heart, thinking to herself what this little sixth son had seen, how could it be like hitting a ghost? and she was afraid to distract him by asking him, so she fell from the tree again, so she had to wait below.
I didn't want Xiao Liuzi to squat down holding the trunk, and retched twice, tossing for a long time before climbing down the tree. By this time, his face was as dead as ashes, and he couldn't breathe evenly. Grandma Cai knew that if she asked now, Xiao Liuzi was afraid that it would be difficult to understand, so she simply pulled him into the house and made him a cup of strong tea to drink.
After resting for a while, Xiao Liuzi slowly eased up, and then told Grandma Cai what was hanging on the tree. It should be a cat that has been skinned, the cat's abdominal cavity has been broken, all the internal organs have been turned out, and the peeled skin has trapped the cat's hind limbs, it looks like it should have been skinned when the cat was alive, and the means are too cruel. And the cat's eyes were also gouged out, and the blood was alive and snowy, condensed together, not to mention how terrifying it looked.
After listening to Xiao Liuzi's words, Grandma Cai couldn't understand who had such a big enmity with the cat and wanted to make such a ruthless move. Hurriedly called the police station.
The police came to ask about the situation and took the cat off the tree, and everyone noticed that the top of the cat's head was also drilled with a hole the thickness of a wine glass, and Bai Huahua's brain was entangled in blood and froze into a bloody tofu-like ball.
