NO.13: One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds
Life is a circle, tightly enclosing the fate of a group of otherwise unrelated people, like cogs, rubbing together the spark of fate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The beginning of the story begins with the night seven days ago.
On that day, the night was deep and hazy, the moon was hidden in layers of dark clouds, and the sky was dark and oppressive, as if torrential rain was brewing.
Li Chengbing is a truck driver, who gets up early every day and runs long distances to pull goods, and it is common for him to sleep in the open and travel long distances.
He drove a FAW Jiefang medium-sized truck, which he bought a few years ago, and cost his family tens of thousands of yuan, but his flesh hurt for a while.
Li Chengbing is a farmer, the harvest in the field is not good, the whole family needs to eat, so he used a few years of savings plus borrowed money to buy a truck to transport with people.
Transportation for a few hundred yuan is much better than farming, and the family is gradually improving. After repaying the loan, the family built a new house, and the daughter was admitted to a key university, and the son was also admitted to a key high school.
In the face of all this, Li Chengbing was extremely happy, and his co-workers all said that he had mixed up, no, his daughter got a publicly-funded study abroad quota at a university in the United States.
Li Chengbing didn't know what the name of this university was, he didn't have much culture, but it sounded very good, and he was proud of his daughter.
If people have hope, they will not feel wasted, and if they have dreams, they will feel that they are alive, and their daughters and sons are all Li Chengbing is all they have, and they are the only hope in his life.
Hearing that the consumption in the United States is high, and his daughter must be very short of money to spend, Li Chengbing secretly worked hard and worked harder.
It was supposed to be a sunny day, and he and a few co-workers were driving on the national highway, because the distance was a bit far, the water in the car was all drunk, and there was no store nearby, he only found a canned beer in the car, and he didn't know who put it.
Li Chengbing was very thirsty, he ate rice at noon and didn't drink water, he was very thirsty in the car and drank a lot of water, and all the water was drunk.
Under normal circumstances, Li Chengbing never drinks while driving, but this time he was too thirsty and arrived at his destination immediately, so he decided to take a sip of beer, which can also quench his thirst.
After taking a sip of beer, Li Chengbing thought that he would quench his thirst, but he found that his mouth was getting drier, and in desperation, he drank all the can of beer in one sip.
While he was driving, something was going on outside, and suddenly it started to rain, and the rain began to pour down.
It was about to arrive at the unloading site, and Li Chengbing didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to drive on the national highway.
This trip is to Xiamen, from Xiamen to pick up the imported goods, because the highway has to be charged, in order to save money on the national highway.
The rain was pouring down, and the wipers were busy, but despite this, the vision was always blurry.
Li Chengbing was uneasy in his heart, such weather, such road conditions, he would enter the town immediately, and if he was not careful, something would happen.
It's been three days of driving in a row, and the cold hasn't healed yet, Li Chengbing is very tired, and after drinking a little wine, he seems to be a little sluggish and becomes a little drowsy.
Li Chengbing seemed to be in a deep sleep, he was groggy and open, suddenly, he was awakened by a palpitation, a huge uneasiness crept into his heart, and a cold air rose behind his whole body.
Li Chengbing shuddered, he suddenly looked at the front, and the front seemed to be a little different. However, before he could realize it, the entire body suddenly shook, as if it had knocked down something.
At the same time, a loud crash sounded.
"Bang!"
Got into a car accident!
Li Chengbing was a little dazed, as an old driver, he knew what was going on, but he couldn't believe it. Because if something happens, he will be in a catastrophe, and he knows how serious his problem is.
However, it didn't take long for Li Chengbing to wake up, and he realized that the impact was coming from the front of the body, just below his driver's seat.
The rain was still falling, and in the heavy rain, Li Chengbing got out of the car in a hurry, didn't wear a raincoat, and looked ahead with a flashlight.
Li Chengbing's heart sank, the scene in front of him made him cold, an Audi stopped in front of the truck, the front of the Audi had been knocked beyond recognition, through the smashed window, he saw a woman inside with her eyes closed, her head bleeding bright red.
Li Chengbing was stunned, and after just one glance, he knew that the woman could not be saved, no matter what, he planted it. He didn't know what to do, so he sat down in the water until his clothes were soaked and the cold rain woke him up.
Then, Li Chengbing was so excited that he hurriedly called an ambulance.
Li Chengbing never thought about escaping, he used to be a PLA soldier, he had his own responsibilities, he was at a loss at that moment, although he had the idea of escaping, but he didn't in the end.
After that, when the ambulance and traffic police came, Li Chengbing didn't know anything.
That night, Li Chengbing saw a young man in the traffic police force, his face was dull and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul. That person should have died, Li Chengbing's heart sank, and the sky fell suddenly.
Dead, dead, Li Chengbing muttered, as if talking to himself.
"My mom was hit and killed by you."
It wasn't until the young man's hoarse voice sounded that Li Chengbing raised his head, and he saw a pair of empty eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water and lifeless.
The young man stared at Li Chengbing, watching him sit on the ground, and suddenly his face became hideous, revealing a pair of beast-like eyes, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
"Why didn't you die, why didn't you die."
The young man grabbed Li Chengbing by the collar and pushed him against the wall and slammed him hard, one after another, and the wall was banged.
Didn't knock you to death...... Knock you to death...... Crash to death...... Die......
This sentence seemed to come out of the depths of his soul and kept echoing in Li Chengbing's mind. It would be a good thing if he was killed by himself, and it would be a hundred times since a person died like a lamp going out, Li Chengbing laughed self-deprecatingly.
Li Chengbing did not resist, as soon as he saw those red eyes, he did not have the courage to look at him, and buried his head deep in his chest.
It wasn't until the police pulled away the young man that Li Chengbing sat down on the ground in despair.
Li Chengbing's mind was full of mud, he had been thinking about how long the court would sentence in a drunk driving accident, whether the young man would sue him for compensation, what would happen to the family after the accident, and what would happen if his daughter knew.
Li Chengbing didn't know anything, he buried his head deep in his knees, he knew that this time the sky was over. Not only is the family bankrupt, but the most important thing is that the son and daughter cannot complete their studies.
Li Chengbing was full of remorse, if he didn't catch a cold that day, if he didn't drink that can of beer, if it didn't rain that day, all kinds of ifs, but life will never be ifs.
One misstep turned into a thousand years of hatred, and looking back, this time he should have died in prison.
The young man didn't know when he left, and Li Chengbing hadn't seen him since that side.
Li Chengbing was detained, and he had to bear criminal and civil liability for the death of the person, and as a driver, of course he knew this. But how could his family, an ordinary peasant family, afford all this.
He couldn't imagine how his family would react if they knew the news, whether it was a mental breakdown or something else.
Today is the eighth day, and Li Chengbing has been detained for the past few days, and during these days, he has seen his wife. Hearing the news of the car accident overnight, his wife seemed to have changed as a person, and the whole person became stupid, and she didn't say a word.
Li Chengbing has heard a lot of news these days, such as the victim is ready to sue him for compensation, but the court summons has not yet arrived.
Li Chengbing waited, silently waiting, as if waiting for death.
