Chapter 63: The Thirteenth Crossing
The car broke down in the middle of the road?
In desperation, I had to get out of the car and wait outside the car.
Little by little, time passed, and I became anxious.
I would love to stop another taxi, but the one that sped past me was either a taxi or a taxi already carrying customers. At this point, it can be difficult to find an empty taxi.
What to do? What to do?
I even wanted to walk myself, time is important to me, if I am a few steps late, the watch will already be someone else's. What's even more terrifying is that maybe even Ning Qiang himself can't get this watch. If someone else takes this watch, I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back again.
Luckily, the driver had already fixed the car and we were finally on the road.
However, before the car started, we heard the sound of an ambulance. It was an ambulance, and it was speeding past us, followed by a police car.
"What's going on?" The driver was stunned for a moment, "There was an accident in front, or is there a fire somewhere?" ”
I didn't speak, but I understood in my heart.
At this time, Ning Qiang and Yuting's car had already had an accident! These ambulances and police cars rushed to the scene of the accident.
"Let's keep up with their cars!" I commanded.
The driver started the car, but never caught up with the ambulance and police car in front of him.
Finally, we also arrived at the scene of the crash, and I asked the driver to pull over and get out of the car myself.
However, I was still a step too late after all, Ning Qiang had already been carried into the ambulance, and the police quickly cordoned off the scene of the car accident.
I could only stand by the taxi in a daze, looking at the ambulance.
What about watches?
Suddenly, I noticed that Ning Qiang in the ambulance seemed to be talking to the nurse very excitedly. At this point, I realized: the watch is not on his wrist at the moment! He lost the watch!
By the way, the watch must have been dropped at the scene of the car accident! Ah, I finally remembered! That watch should have been left next to the car that had the accident!
So, I walked towards the car!
Suddenly, I felt something strange behind me, and when I looked back, Ning Qiang actually jumped out of the ambulance!
Oh no, he's already found me!
I quickened my pace, but I didn't dare to run, because there were policemen standing there.
Soon, I saw: on the right side of the car, on the ground outside the door, there was a shiny thing! So, it should be the magic watch, right?
The moment I saw the watch, all the hormones in my body were mobilized, and something that mixed with excitement and nervousness flowed rapidly through my body.
"Stop!" Suddenly, Ning Qiang shouted.
When he screamed, I, who was already engrossed, was startled and involuntarily turned around.
Our eyes were once again aligned.
Then, Ning Qiang, who was standing behind me, fell to the ground with exhaustion.
I took one last look at him, and I didn't know if I should go over and pick him up at this point, or should I continue to run over and pick up the watch?
What am I doing? Why have I become so cold-blooded? That watch is his lifeblood. I took the watch, so what did he do? A voice cried out in my heart.
Whatever, he can't save Yuting's life anyway, the watch is useless in his hand, it's better for you to take it yourself! Another voice was also shouting.
No, no, he's already seriously injured, and if this watch is gone, won't he be a wreck forever in this life? Do you want him to spend his life in pain and remorse? Is this a fair outcome for him?
Although it was only for a second, my heart seemed to experience a long and violent confrontation and suffering.
I looked at the watch lying quietly there, and I seemed to hear the "tick-tock" sound of the watch.
The watch, less than ten meters away from me, was so close, but it was also so far away. The watch, which can decide the future fate of three people, is just a stone's throw away from me.
In the end, I chose to take the watch. So, I threw away all my hesitation and self-blame and walked towards the watch step by step······
However, a policeman seemed to come out of the ground and stopped me.
"I'm sorry, Miss, this is the scene of the car accident, please don't come close!" The policeman was in front of me, and the watch was not far behind him.
I was stunned, I regretted it.
Why did I hesitate just now? It was that moment of hesitation, but I missed this last opportunity? I'm so soft-hearted, why do I want to do so much? It's over, it's over!
I could only stand there in a daze, looking at the watch that was close at hand, but out of reach.
At this time, my mind was blank. I didn't want to wait any longer, but I had to wait again.
Soon, a little nurse also came over.
"Mr. Policeman, I left that gentleman's things there, can I go over and get them?" The little nurse said to the policeman.
The policeman nodded and let her in.
Oh, why can't I tell the policeman that I'm Ning Qiang's girlfriend, and I'm here to pick up what he left there? Wenting, is your brain short-circuited?
I really want to scold myself, I can't even tell a lie?
However, what is the use of regretting at this time?
I could only watch as the little nurse picked up the watch from the ground.
This time, I lost again!
I turned my head back, but I saw Ning Qiang again, this guy, who had already stood up, actually smiled at me.
What is he laughing at? Is he laughing at me for being stupid, laughing at me for being stupid? Or laugh at me or make a bad move?
Okay, Ning Qiang, I lost to you this time, but, next time, I won't show mercy to your subordinates!
I pursed my lips, didn't speak, and then, turning around, walked back to the taxi.
"Let's drive." That's my last word······
"Are you sure you want to buy this watch?"
The familiar voice again, the amiable old man again, the watch lying quietly on the counter.
This time, the time to travel back to the past is longer than before, because this time Ning Qiang was admitted to the hospital, and after being discharged from the hospital, he chose to reverse and go back to the past.
I didn't have any initiative, so I could only follow Ning Qiang's dial hand of the watch and disappear into the parallel world of the past. However, this time, I was a little embarrassed, because I was still walking on the road at the time, and I disappeared like steam in front of passers-by.
Passers-by who saw me disappear would have been surprised, and some would even go to the police or find reporters to report this bizarre incident. However, the police will definitely come to a conclusion in the end: it must be those passers-by who are dazzled, how can people evaporate out of thin air?
Even so, though, I don't care anymore. Anyway, I'm no longer in that parallel world. No, I didn't belong there in the first place. Now I just need to pay attention to the world and live in this parallel space of the present.
For me and for Ning Qiang, we all have to learn to "live in the present", because we don't have much "future" to squander. Every day is the most important day of our lives.
This time, though, I was in trouble.
When Ning Qiang saw me, he grabbed my hand and shouted angrily, "I ask you, why are you following me?" ”
He has lost his composure, he has lost his manly demeanor. However, I was not angry because I had experienced the same pain and anger as he did. He mistook me for the messenger of death, and I was the culprit, but I didn't want to stay in this world, right? Ning Qiang, if you give me back this watch, won't I disappear?
I couldn't explain anything to the angry him for a while, so I could only remain silent, let him scream, and pretend to be innocent and surprised.
Forgive me, Ning Qiang.
"Answer me, what do you know?" Ning Qiang shouted.
"Young man, young man, don't do this!" The shopkeeper, that is, the old man, came out from behind the counter and pulled Ning Qiang away, "The two of them have something to say, why bother?" ”
"Two? Who is with her? Ning Qiang glared at the old man.
"Aren't you?" The old man was stunned and stopped talking.
It turned out that this old man mistakenly regarded me and Ning Qiang as two people. However, I came in first, and Ning Qiang came in later, how could it be a couple? This old man, old foolish, right?
"Let's go, go out and talk!" Ning Qiang pushed me.
I hesitated, should I go out with him?
However, it seems that I can only do this now, and if I still don't say a word, I'm afraid this guy will really think of me as an enemy and tear me to pieces.
So, I lowered my head and walked towards the door.
When he arrived at the door, Ning Qiang's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Stop!"
I stopped, but didn't turn my head.
"Stand honestly, don't try to run!" Ning Qiang shouted, "Our matter is not over yet." If you dare to run, then you're welcome! ”
I felt insulted. What the? You think I want to run? Where can I go?
Ning Qiang paid the money, took the watch, and put the watch in the box and put it in his trouser pocket. Then, roughly, he grabbed my hand like an eagle grabbing a chicken, and pulled me out.
When I got to the door, Ning Qiang let go of his hand, crossed his arms, and looked at me, like a police officer looking at a prisoner.
"Tell me honestly, why have you been following me?" Ning Qiang's interrogation began.
How do I answer that? Should I tell him all about the cause and effect, the ins and outs of this matter?
No, absolutely not! Ning Qiang won't believe it, he will definitely think I'm crazy. In this world, how can there be another him, let alone a woman?
But how do I answer his question?
I had no idea but to stand there without saying a word.
"You're talking!" Ning Qiang was a little impatient, "Don't think I don't know, you have been following me all along, and even ran to my house and threw the brooch on the floor of my house." ”
As he spoke, Ning Qiang looked at the silver brooch on my chest again.
Damn, why is this thing always attached to my clothes as soon as the crossing starts, and I can't take it off?
I suddenly regretted that I shouldn't have gone to Ning Qiang's house, if he hadn't seen the brooch again, he might not have known that I had entered his house.
I touched the brooch, but I still didn't speak.
What can I say? At this point, silence seems to be my best defense.
"Don't be silent anymore, you're not dumb." Ning Qiang was annoyed, "Say, do you want to get the watch?" ”
My heart skipped a beat, and soon calmed down again.
That's right, I just want to get your watch! I need to get my hands on this watch to be able to go back to the future again. However, he will definitely not give it to me, and it is better not to say it if I say it.
I still don't say a word, I have the right to be silent, what can you do with me?
"Why don't you speak?" Ning Qiang became angry and moved out of the last killer move, "Okay, if you don't talk all the time, I'll take you to the police station." I'm telling you, I have friends at the police station! ”
Police station? This can't be done, if you meet that guy surnamed Yan, he won't thoroughly investigate my details?
At this time, I haven't gotten a fake ID card yet, and even if I do, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the eyes of this police officer.
What to do? I'd better speak, and I'll hold him steady first.
"Can we find a place to talk?" I looked up at him with a pitiful look······
