Chapter 64: The Last Three Minutes
Zhang Tianquan had already run to the street, he looked around and saw the traffic light flashing red and green on the opposite side of the zebra crossing.
"That's it."
"Gu Zhi, come to Culture Road. There's something urgent! He took out his mobile phone and called Gu Zhi, he didn't call You Shang, because he knew that notifying Gu Zhi was equivalent to calling You Shang.
"Okay." Although he knew that Wenhua Road was nearly four kilometers away from the school, and he didn't know what was going on, Gu Zhi still agreed.
Zhang Tianquan is not on Wenhua Road now, he is still on Xihua Road, and Wenhua Road still needs to walk one street along Xihua Road to arrive.
Zhang Tianquan took out his cigarette case and smoked a cigarette, when he smoked, he could be relatively calm.
After a puff or two, he extinguished the cigarette. Thrown into the trash can behind him.
He took two steps forward and reached the edge of the driveway.
He was still looking around, as if he was looking for something, or waiting for something.
It's not easy to get a taxi here, at least not a single empty car appears.
He suddenly reached out and took a step forward, stopping a gray Santana that was somewhat old.
He was in front of the car, and the driver didn't have time to turn around, so he stopped in front of him.
"Brother, what's wrong?" The driver rolled down the window and didn't scold him, but asked him if anything was wrong.
"I, I want to take a ride, I can't get a taxi here." Zhang Tianquan pleaded.
"Where are you going? If you drop by, I'll take you for a ride. The driver said very kindly.
"Over there on Great North Road, okay?" Zhang Tianquan asked.
Out of Xihua Road and continue to walk forward is the cultural road, and to the left is the Great North Road.
"This, it's a bit unpleasant, it's not that the eldest brother won't help you, you see," the driver's eldest brother pointed to a woman with a big belly in the passenger seat, "Your sister-in-law is due to give birth, I have to send her to the hospital as soon as possible, I can't relax for a moment until I stay in the hospital." ”
The driver's eldest brother smiled happily, and it could be seen that they were usually very affectionate.
When the woman heard the mention of her, she smiled kindly at Zhang Tianquan.
Not only kindness to strangers, but also the hope that a new life will come into this world.
"The hospital is on the cultural road in front, why don't you wait here for a while, if you really can't get a taxi, I'll arrange your sister-in-law to come back and pick you up in a while?"
The driver's eldest brother pointed ahead, although there was still a certain distance, he could already see the outline of the hospital's ambulance.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, it's estimated that it will be difficult to get a taxi, brother, you must come back, don't forget me." Zhang Tianquan smiled a little reluctantly, responding to their kindness.
"I won't delay you, you can get busy first." Zhang Tianquan saw the man looking at the time on his phone from time to time, and knew that he couldn't wait, so he took the lead and said.
"What's there to forget, my brother will pick you up after a while. Without further ado, I'll go first. ”
"Okay, bye-bye."
The car started again, leaving Zhang Tianquan alone in place.
Seeing the car gradually speeding up, Zhang Tianquan did not stay where he was as agreed. Instead, move on.
There are still not a lot of vehicles on the road, after all, today is not a holiday, and this time is not a rush hour.
The winter nights seem to be a little darker than the summer ones, and the blackness is more pure. Rows of streetlights on the side of the road shine on the ground, and the dim light gives people a feeling of autumn.
There were not many pedestrians on the road, Zhang Tian was only wearing a sweater on his body, and he took a breath, and it turned into a white mist in an instant. It was supposed to be cold, but he didn't care about the low temperature as if he didn't react at all.
He gradually picked up his speed, and while walking briskly, he took out his mobile phone and called Gu Zhi, and asked very calmly, "Have you arrived?" ”
"There's still a street away."
As if he already knew the answer, he immediately hung up the phone.
Walking briskly, he began to run, gradually accelerating, gritting his teeth, and running as desperately as he could.
The pedestrians on the road did not pay much attention to a person who was running wild in the street at night, and did not even raise their eyes to take a look.
The cold and the cold winter merge into one.
Zhang Tianquan, who was running, didn't care about anything, didn't go anywhere, just ran forward.
He saw the driver brother who was still waiting for the red light. In less than five seconds, the light was green.
He continued to run, and finally ran to the crossroads.
Turn left to Dabei Road, and go ahead to Wenhua Road.
Instead of turning left, he continued to run like crazy, even though the light was red.
"Di ————" When he ran the red light, the whistle of a large truck was heard behind him.
He looked back, and was caught in the eyes by the dipped headlights.
I don't know if it's because of his dangerous behavior just now, he looks panicked.
"How much longer?" He pulled out his phone and yelled at the other side.
"Three minutes!" Gu Zhi didn't know why his voice was so hysterical, but he still replied calmly.
"Can you hurry up?" Zhang Tianquan said eagerly.
“…… I tried my best. ”
"Whew-" Zhang Tianquan immediately hung up the phone, he exhaled, wanting to force himself to calm down.
He turned his head to look around, and the big truck that honked just now had already run to Wenhua Road.
Zhang Tianquan saw the driver yawning and listlessness from the open left window.
"Wait a minute." He shouted, but no one paid any attention to him, neither the truck driver nor the other pedestrians on the street.
People are doing their own thing, and if it's someone's humiliating hilarity, it might get some attention, but it's just an undirected shout, and no one will think it's related to them.
He ran alone and couldn't do anything, even though he already knew that the truck driver would crash into a tree and crush himself for a while due to fatigue, but there was nothing he could do.
He tried his best to catch up, just in time when the truck turned from Dabei Road to Wenhua Road, and when he was still more sober, but it was useless.
He doesn't have anything else special.
He does not have You Shang's learning and sports talents, Gu Zhi's versatility and abnormal abilities, Liu Wuke's genius inventions, and Tao Li's popularity.
He may be good at dating, he can predict, he can be clever, and he can help Gu Zhi save Tao Li who jumped off the building. But there was no other use for him.
After eighteen years of life, he once again felt powerless, he felt his uselessness.
Maybe it's okay if he doesn't know, but he knows, he knows everything, but he can't change anything, no matter how hard he tries, nothing will change. Even the person he wanted to save ignored him.
He was still desperately chasing the van, shouting, "Stop! Stop! ”
"Please stop!" He tripped over a brick on the road and fell to the ground, still screaming from his mouth, even though he had seen the van approaching the location he had predicted.
