Flipping through the dictionary, the definition of highway is very accurate. ( ); The so-called highway is named after its public transportation road, and it is also a road connecting cities, villages and industrial and mining bases, mainly for automobiles and has certain technical standards and facilities.

However, it is destined to be unable to stop.

introduction
Han Qi is a signboarder, and this is a thankless job with a very low salary. Signage is an outdoor marketing strategy in which a staff member stands on a street corner or intersection holding an arrow-shaped sign to attract the attention of passing motorists. It's like skateboarding and hip-hop, there are a lot of moves, and each move has a name. It is said that it started in Southern California in the United States and is now spread all over the world.
Today, he still stands at the crossroads of Huitou Town, wielding the sign in his hand with great skill. This signboard is one meter and two long, very thin, and the signboard in his hand sometimes turns in circles, sometimes throws into the air, sometimes moves, and makes people dazzled and applauded. This is a very interesting job, the hourly wage is very low, only about 20 yuan, 6 hours a day. Han Qi has been standing here continuously for almost half a month.
The signboard in his hand was written in blue Song script with four words: 'Chen's Catfish'. He was hired by Chen Dong, the owner of Catfish Village. This old guy is in his early forties and runs a restaurant on the national highway, mainly selling catfish. Huitou Town is said to have been a major transportation route in ancient times, and the only passage of communication between the north and the south. From the perspective of now, this sentence is also unconventional. So far, if you want to transport goods from Sichuan to Beijing, you must also pass by the national highway at the gate of Huitou Town. Therefore, the traffic in Huitou Town is very lively.
Speaking of the Chen's catfish, whether it was Han Qi or the old folks in the town, they all secretly scolded him for doing business. The so-called catfish, the purchase is only more than 20 yuan a kilogram, but he is very good at stealing customers, usually two people enter the store to eat, and don't want to go out without thousands of yuan. I don't have the money to pay, I'm sorry, the goods on the truck were moved down to pay for the meal. This Boss Chen, to put it bluntly, is the stinky ** of Huitou Town, and he hired a thug to make some dirty money. Over time, trucks passing by his door had to take a detour, not to mention repeat customers.
Therefore, Boss Chen invited Han Qi to play a signboard to attract customers and lure those wronged people who didn't know the situation to enter the store to consume. After dancing for half a month, the truck was not fooled, but the young couples who drove by attracted a lot. Of course, he was also slaughtered and wanted to cry without tears. In this regard, Han Qi was more or less guilty.
Today's weather is gloomy and it looks like there will be heavy rain. The wind passing through the east side of the intersection made Han Qi a little unsteady, but he still struggled to dance the sign for this small hourly wage. It's not that he is conscientious, it's entirely because Boss Chen is small-minded, so he will surprise check if he has nothing to do to see if his twenty yuan per hour is worth it.
The signboard was thrown into the air by Han Qi with a regular move, but it was blown by the wind, and the aluminum signboard flew like a straw to the aisle. The signboard fell, almost smashing an old RV. The RV, which was a bit of an age, dodged with swift speed and rushed towards Han Qi. He turned around in fright and ran, but no one had a car as fast. Fortunately, just as he was about to pee his pants in fright, the front of the car braked five centimeters closer to him.
Han Qi's feet trembled in shock, and a middle-aged man with a mouth full of stubble poked his head out in the cab of the RV, looked at him, and then looked at the signboard that had fallen on the ground, and then drove straight towards Chen's catfish.
"Lao Tzu, I won't apologize. Damn, you deserve to be slaughtered by Boss Chen! Han Qi cursed to himself, walked to the middle of the road with sore hands and feet and picked up the signboard.
Just then, a car came from the opposite side, moving at a fast speed. When the driver saw Han Qi's sudden appearance, it was completely too late to step on the brakes. The car slammed into Han Qi's body, his body was like his own dancing signboard, spinning and flying in the air, falling with a 'pop', and then making contact with the concrete ground more than ten meters away.
Han Qi felt that his whole body was in pain, and it was difficult for his chest to breathe. He struggled desperately to get up. Indeed, he succeeded, struggled to prop up his body, and subconsciously took out the phone for help. The driver slowed down and hesitated for a moment, then stepped on the accelerator without hesitation to drive away.
The front and rear license plates of the car are covered in black muddy water, and no one should be able to read the number clearly, even if there is a hit-and-run, they will not be caught. The driver drove the car faster with this fluke mentality. In a hurry, the car in front knocked Han Qi down again, and the wheels brutally ran over him. Han Qi's life also completely disappeared into the aisle.
Coincidentally, the signboard that was knocked into the air with him flew in mid-air for a while, then fell down and happened to fall on the windshield of the car that caused the accident. The sharp signature water chestnut pierced the glass under the force of gravity, and finally cut off the driver's head by coincidence.
The driver died instantly.
The car driven by the dead man crashed into a cliff on the side of the road, eventually exploding into a fireworks-like flame. The impact and sound of the explosion reverberated throughout the town of Huitou.
The people who watched the excitement immediately came out. The RV driver also walked out, followed by a ten-year-old girl, who was delicate and beautiful, perhaps not in the sun for a long time, and her skin was so fair that it was outrageous.
The girl glanced at the scene of the car accident, her eyes full of melancholy: "Dad, will the death of those two people be our reason?" Became our substitute? ”
"You're thinking too much." The father kindly touched his daughter's head: "Let's go in, let's continue on the road after eating." Your mom has been in poor health lately, so give her something light. ”
