Chapter 1: Fate

Next Chapter

The train of more than ten hours made Wang Ge fascinated, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, he finally arrived at the Xiangsha City Railway Station. The first thing I did when I got out of the car was to call home to report that I was safe.

"I haven't been home for two years, and the train station has expanded like this. He had just graduated from college and did not get the opportunity to be assigned a job, so the school hastily held a graduation ceremony and issued a graduation certificate, just like driving a flock of sheep to drive those fresh graduates who had no certain relationship home.

Wang Ge did not feel distressed by this, but felt a sense of relief, and finally was able to go home to meet his childhood sweetheart's friend, who had been in love for so many years, haunted by dreams every day, and finally could go home to confess, find a job safely, and give her a happy home.

"I'm home, we'll see you tomorrow. He found a fast food restaurant, ordered a bowl of long-lost braised noodles, and before he could move his chopsticks, he clicked on the screen and sent a WeChat message to a girl named Lan Xin.

The other party replied quickly. "I promised to come back and give me a big meal, don't break my promise, I have something very important to say to you. ”

Wang Ge put down his mobile phone with a smile and took a big bite of the braised noodles from his hometown. After filling his stomach, he looked at his wallet, saved some money to buy something for his parents, and the rest of the money should be enough to invite Lan Xin to a meal, he thought.

After thinking about it for two minutes, he was finally not willing to spend more than a dozen yuan to take a taxi, so he still chose to drag a heavy bag of luggage and squeeze into the bus. After wandering for more than forty minutes, the king pigeon arrived at his door.

"Lao Wang, your son is back!" The door was opened by Wang Ge's mother Zhao Xueqin, she was startled when she saw Wang Ge, and quickly took Wang Ge's luggage and let Wang Ge enter the house, while turning back and shouting into the house.

The father of the king pigeon hurried out of the house, still wearing reading glasses. "Can you count it back, are you tired?"

The king pigeon smiled. "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I can bear it, I'm homesick, how can I be tired!"

He rummaged through his luggage, digging out a pair of leather shoes and a sweater from his bag.

"Mom, give you the sweater, and give the shoes to Dad. ”

Zhao Xueqin took the sweater, touched the material that seemed to be wool, it was not cheap at first glance, it was very smooth, and the smile and love in her eyes could not be hidden, but she complained: "Spend some useless money, we won't buy it ourselves!"

Wang Ge picked up the cup on the table and took a big sip of water, and wiped his mouth: "Part-time work to take on some private work, save some and come out." ”

Wang Ge's father, Wang Jiancheng, also took the leather shoes, looked left and right, and couldn't see any doorway, just thinking that his son was filial and obedient from childhood to adulthood, and he would buy something for the family when he went to school and worked, and he was really a good child, full of joy.

"Xueqin, go to the market and buy some vegetables, cook a good meal in the evening, and pick up the wind for my son. Wang Jiancheng hurriedly glanced at Zhao Xueqin.

"No, no, no, I'm going to party with my former classmates and friends at night, so I can't eat at home. The king pigeon said with some embarrassment. I couldn't eat at home on the first day I went home, but the party was a day that had been set a long time ago, and there was nothing I could do about it if it was so coincidental.

Wang Ge looked at the appearance of the home, compared to the earth-shaking changes in Xiangsha City outside, it seems that there is no change in the home, none of the household appliances are new, the mural on the wall is always hung there, but there is an extra pair of cross-stitch embroidered by the mother above the TV.

Despite this, the family is still clean, the old couple live a dull life after retirement, and the pension is not much to live a rich and expensive life, but it can also provide for the king pigeon to finish college.

Wang Ge's heart was sour, his parents had worked hard all his life, his parents retired and occasionally did odd jobs to earn some money for him to go to school, although he would also work to supplement the family, but it was always a drop in the bucket.

He made up his mind that he would honor his parents more when he got a job, but he couldn't help but regret his decision to go to the party in the evening.

Zhao Xueqin listened to her son's words, although she was disappointed, but after thinking about it, since her son had gone home, it had been a long time, and it was not overnight, so she also thought about it.

"Okay, drinking is indispensable at night, don't drink too much. Although Wang Jiancheng has been ordinary all his life, he is wise and foolish, and he saw through his wife's mind at a glance, and hurriedly said to his son.

Wang Ge nodded, exchanged a few more words with his parents, and went back to his room to pack his things.

In the blink of an eye, it was half past six in the evening, and the king pigeon hurried to the meeting place by taxi.

Friends who haven't seen each other for many years still maintain the enthusiasm of the year, the restaurant is not big but lively, a group of people discuss the joys and sorrows of the year, and some people talk about Lan Xin, who is a childhood sweetheart with Wang Ge, Wang Ge can't help but drink a few more glasses, and sneak out under the table.

The king pigeon had a particularly beautiful dream, in which the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the rape flowers in the field floated in the wind, half a man tall, and the fragrance drilled into his nose and eyes. Lan Xin, who was smiling like a flower, took the hand of the king pigeon and walked in the rape flower field bouncing.

Suddenly, Lan Xin stopped, turned his head and said to the king pigeon. "Take a picture of me, it's so beautiful. ”

Suddenly, there was an extra camera in Wang Ge's hand, and before he could react, Lan Xin walked a few quickly, ran to a short distance in front, and shouted at Wang Ge: "Idiot, what are you stunned about, I'm all in a pose!"

Wang Ge hurriedly raised the camera, his eyes were on the frame, but in the picture, he got along with Lan Xin from childhood to adulthood.

The moment he pressed the shutter, an electric current suddenly hit the shutter button, waking him up.

When he woke up the next day, Wang Ge had a splitting headache, and he smelled of the alcohol of inferior liquor, and he had no idea who had attended the party yesterday, what they had talked about, and he could not even know how to get home.

He glanced at his phone, it was already past nine o'clock, and there was an unread message.

"I've already set off, don't be late~" The news came from Lan Xin.

He quickly jumped out of bed, washed up briefly, changed into a set of clothes, and said hello to his parents in the living room.

"Mom and Dad, I won't come back to eat at noon, go out to eat with Lan Xin. ”

Before they could respond, the king pigeon hurried out the door.

The autumn tiger is no joke, even if it is already September, the remaining heat wave of the summer is still coming, which adds a bit of anger to the already anxious king pigeon for no reason. But it's no wonder who drank too much the night before and couldn't get up.

Wang Ge waited for the bus for a long time, after all, he was afraid of being late, took a taxi, and finally came to the square they agreed. Wang Ge looked at the time, it was exactly ten o'clock, but Lan Xin was not seen under the marker in the square.

She wasn't late, was she's letting the pigeons go? She must have already set off...... Wang Ge muttered in his heart, and when he looked back, Lan Xin was looking at him across the road.

Lan Xin looked at the red light on the crosswalk, waved her hand at the king pigeon, and motioned for him to wait for a while, probably sensing some lateness, she smiled apologetically.

She wore a blue dress today, and that warm smile made the king pigeon stunned.

Wang Ge also smiled and nodded, and the two of them seemed to return to the days when they went to school together in their childhood.

When the green light turned on, Lan Xin was anxious, and couldn't help but run a few steps faster, overtaking the people who were crossing the road together, but the sound of an eager car horn in her ears made her turn her head hurriedly.

"Lan Xin!" Wang Ge noticed something strange, the van seemed to have no brakes, ran through the red light and rushed towards Lan Xin, only honking its horn but not slowing down at all.

Wang Ge was stunned, there was no time to react at all, his smile and Lan Xin's smile froze on his face at the same time.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, although Lan Xin had tried his best to dodge, the van still slammed into Lan Xin, Lan Xin's figure stopped in the air, fell out heavily, rolled out more than three meters away, and the fragments of the car windshield covered the ground, mercilessly smashing on Lan Xin's face and body.

The van did not stop, but changed course due to the collision, tilted its head and slammed into the camphor tree across the road, smoking thick, the driver opened the door with all his strength, rolled out of the driver's seat, and passed out. Passers-by quickly dragged him out of the van and called the emergency services.

"Lan Xin!" Wang Ge quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed 120, and at the same time pushed through the crowd.

"Send an ambulance quickly! Someone was hit by a car! The situation is not clear, it is very serious! The location is in Jintai Plaza! What? I am not conscious, I should be unconscious, I am not sure if there is a fracture or internal bleeding, I dare not give first aid!"

Despite his maximum composure, the king pigeon seemed a little incoherent. He hurried to Lan Xin, who was completely unconscious and had no reaction to the outside world.

Lan Xin's left arm joint was red and black, I was afraid that it was broken, and her ears and nostrils began to bleed out slowly, which was not a good sign. Her face was smooth and flawless, but now there were a few more cuts, which were scratched by broken glass.

The people around pointed and pointed, some called the police, and some took out their mobile phones to post on Weibo.

The king pigeon squatted on the ground and felt Lan Xin's pulse, and because he didn't know the situation, he didn't make any moves. The hot summer made the king pigeon sweat profusely, and the sweat flowed into the eyes, and it was spicy and painful.

He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and an umbrella suddenly covered his and Lan Xin's heads.

Wang Ge's mind is chaotic now, but he is still grateful that there are well-wishers who come to help shade the sun and let Lan Xin not be hurt twice. He looked up at the man and thanked him.

It was a young girl, wearing denim hot pants, thin suspenders, light makeup, dyed lilac hair, very avant-garde, beautiful looks, tall figure, definitely the kind that attracted more glances in the subway.

Hearing the words of the king pigeon, the girl seemed a little surprised.

"You...... Can you see me?" she looked at her umbrella, wondering if it was broken again. "Forget it, handsome guy, who are you?" The girl was also by Lan Xin's side.

"She's ...... My friend. Wang Ge thought that this girl was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange, so he just dealt with it casually. He didn't really want to talk right now, he just wanted to hurry up and wait for the ambulance to arrive.

"It's a rare person who can see me with an umbrella, but it doesn't matter. That...... Let's mourn and change. The girl's face was full of pity, she stretched out two slender fingers and gently touched Lan Xin's shoulder, and then lifted up, and the other Lan Xin sat up from the ground, her eyes were blank, she tilted her head to look at the girl, and then at the king pigeon, looking a little puzzled. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the girl.

"It doesn't seem like your time is up, but it's not my arrangement, forget all this, come with me. The girl tapped Lan Xin's eyebrows, Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, stood up, and followed the girl to turn around and prepare to leave.

But Lan Xin's body was still lying on the ground, her eyes were closed, and she seemed to have no signs of life.

"Wait, where are you going to take her?" Wang Ge felt that something was wrong, this scene was too fantastical. He was completely incomprehensible.

"Yours she is still lying on the ground, mine she is going to be taken away by me. The girl didn't look back, and walked out of the crowd of onlookers, as if people didn't seem to see anything unusual here, and didn't even give way to them.

The girl took Lan Xin directly through the crowd, and disappeared without a trace like a transparent one.

The king pigeon opened his mouth and was speechless, what had happened in the last few minutes was completely beyond his comprehension.

Five minutes later, the police car arrived almost at the same time as the ambulance, the police set up a cordon and began to investigate the scene, and the doctors in the two ambulances came down separately and pulled away the king pigeon to begin an emergency examination of Lan Xin.

The doctor rolled Lan Xin's eyelids, then shook his head at the other nurse, and several people worked together to lift Lan Xin onto a stretcher and into the ambulance.

"Are you a family member of the wounded?" a doctor leaned over to ask when he saw Wang Ge's blank eyes.

The king pigeon replied. "I ...... It's her friend. ”

"Get in the car and go to the hospital. The doctor dragged the king pigeon into the car.
