Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ghost Car
"Liu Wen's family is back, I heard that something happened outside!"
"It's all about being mentally ill."
The people of the village gathered together and were all discussing, this man called Mandu'er. He is the son of Liu Wen mentioned above (see Chapter 21 for details), his home is in the front yard of Liu Wuye, this Liu Manduier has been working in other places, sometimes not coming back for a whole year, there are not many people who go out to work at that time, Liu Manduier is one of the people who went out to work very early.
Because Liu Wuye and Liu Wen's family are in the front and back yards, they naturally know that Mandu'er has been back for several days, but the strange thing is that this child has not gone out and has not shown up. The fifth master met Liu Wen and mentioned it to him several times, but Liu Wen seemed to be struggling to open his mouth.
It is said that on this day, the fifth master bought half a barrel of loose liquor and poured himself a drink in the house by himself. Suddenly, the door opened, Liu Wen walked in, and saw that the fifth master was drinking.
said: "Brother Liu, I borrowed your pickaxe and turned over the ground in the yard, this is not spring, plant some vegetables in the yard."
After listening to Liu Wen, Liu Wuye said happily: "It's Brother Liu Wen, the pickaxe is on the side of the room, you can do it casually." Immediately followed by Liu Wuye and said, "Big brother, don't be busy yet, take two sips with my brother." ”
Liu Wen paused for a moment, and seemed to be hesitant, in fact, in normal times, the two of them often drink two sips together when they are fine.
The fifth master hurriedly gave a few deep words, Liu Wen couldn't stand the invitation of the fifth master, so he sat opposite the fifth master.
The two of them drank like this, and after three rounds of wine, Liu Wen's words were also secret, and the fifth master said: "Brother, Manduer is back now, and there is no less money outside."
Liu Wen heard the fifth master ask like this, and sighed: "Brother, don't mention it, it's hard to say!"
The fifth master was even more curious when he heard this, so he said again: "Brother, what the hell is going on, tell me about it!"
Then Liu Wen told the reasons why Manduer came back and why he didn't leave the house after he came back.
This Liu Manduier, is Liu Wen's only son, after graduating from junior high school, he has been working outside, although this kid is not highly educated, but he is also smart, and slowly entered the oil company in the county, and was arranged to become a gas station as a gas attendant. Although the salary is not too high, the job is relatively stable. In addition to his own food, drink and daily consumption, the rest of his salary will be mailed to his home every month. Therefore, Liu Manduier is still a relatively sensible child.
That is, a month ago, Liu Manduier was originally working at a gas station in the county, but due to the company's job transfer, he was sent to the gas station around the county.
This gas station is located at the junction of the county and the township, there are many vehicles, and the gas station is located at the intersection of a main road, and there are many large and small cars. There were five people in the gas station, a station master and four gas fillers. Since there will be refueling of vehicles day and night, the four people are divided into two shifts. Two people in a shift during the day and two people in a shift at night.
It was said that it was very cold and windy. Catching up on a full pile and a colleague is on the night shift. So I came to the gas station early, and by six o'clock, Manduel and his colleagues on the day shift had done the handover work.
Since there are not too many vehicles at night, the full pile and colleagues are divided, colleagues are staring at the middle of the night, and the whole pile is staring at the second half of the night, two people come upside down, and the gas station has a simple sofa bed, and two people can have the opportunity to sleep for a while through shift work.
It was almost half past eleven in the evening, and my colleague woke up the pile lying on the sofa bed. The pile got up sleepy-eyed, put on his coat, and began to work in the second half of the night.
It may be that the weather is cold, and there are a lot fewer cars to refuel today than usual, and the piles of people are sitting on the chairs at the counter, and the sleepiness is slowly coming.
When it was about one o'clock, suddenly there was a car headlights outside the window and swayed, and the pile raised his eyelids, knowing that there was a car to refuel, so he wrapped his coat tightly, and walked out of the house in a daze, and raised his eyes to see that under the dim light of the fuel dispenser, there was a small van parked, which was a silver-gray van, very shabby, the glass was transparent, and I couldn't see it, and I didn't know how many people sat inside.
They slept in a daze, babbling and reluctantly. But the job got right. So he walked into the van, approached the cab, knocked his fingers on the window, and shouted angrily: "How much does it cost?!" ”
I couldn't see the driver through the glass, and I couldn't see the car door. Suddenly, the window was rolled down, it stopped halfway through, and a hand came out of it.
The person in the car still didn't speak, and the hand with a hundred yuan in his hand stretched out to the eyes of the pile. He took the hundred yuan casually. At this time, I saw this hand clearly, this hand was white and white, without a trace of blood, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time, which made people tremble when they saw it.
Mandui thought it was strange, so he was even more curious about the driver, and looked at the driver through the half-open window. I saw a man wearing an old-fashioned octagonal hat sitting inside, his face rushed to the front of the car, and only his side face could be seen, and through the dim light, this person's face was also the same pale, without blood. Before I could take a closer look at the pile, the windows were rolled up.
I didn't think much about it, because every day I refueled, all kinds of drivers saw a lot, and then I picked up the fuel gun and opened the fuel tank cap of the car.
I filled up enough gas for 100 yuan, screwed the fuel tank cap all over the place, and patted the car window. The car started and drove forward. There is a professional habit in Mandu, that is, every time he finishes refueling, he looks back at the license plate. This time was no exception, but because it was too dark at night, the lights were dim, but I could see that the tail number of the license plate was 34, and the others did not wait to see clearly, and the car had already plunged into the darkness.
Mandui hurried back to the house, continued to sit in the chair and dozed off, until dawn without refueling.
As usual, the stationmaster arrived at the gas station at about five o'clock, and it was already dawn at this time. When the stationmaster arrived at the gas station, he glanced at the direction of the fuel dispenser with his eyes, and suddenly found that a large pool of water had accumulated under the gas dispenser. I felt very strange, so I walked closer, and a strong smell of gasoline rushed towards me. At this time, the stationmaster realized that there was no water on the ground at all, but gasoline!
The stationmaster was shocked, could it be that the fuel dispenser leaked, but it wouldn't have leaked so much. With suspicion, he hurried into the house and woke up the pile of people who were napping on the chair and the other gasman who was sleeping.
The three of them came to the fuel dispenser together and carefully checked it, making sure that it was not the problem of the fuel dispenser, thinking that it might be caused by an oil leak from a passing car. Then the stationmaster copied the number of fuel gauges.
I returned to the house and began to count the refueling money, which was completed by the stationmaster, and the result was a hundred yuan short of three counts, which had never happened in the past work.
Therefore, the stationmaster called the two of them over and said that there was a lack of money, but the money for refueling was not put together. Suddenly, Manduan remembered that there was a van that had added 100 yuan to his van last night, and it was too cold at night, so Manduer casually stuffed the money into his pocket, thinking that he would take it back and put it together, but because he was too sleepy, he forgot about it.
As he spoke, he put his hand in his trouser pocket, pulled it out, and a dark coin fell out! All three of them were shocked at the time!
After all, the stationmaster was old, and he thought it was another prank, so he said: "It's all over the place, don't make trouble, hurry up and get the money, and hand over the work in a while!" ”
The pile is in a hurry at this time. "I'm not kidding, I just refueled a few cars last night, I remember it clearly! There is indeed a van with a hundred refuels"!
The stationmaster saw the serious look of the pile, and felt that it didn't look like a joke. It suddenly occurred to me that I pressed the camera at the gas station and could watch it again.
So I pulled up yesterday's camera video and adjusted it to about a point. As the video played little by little, the three of them stared closely.
Suddenly, at 10 o'clock, I saw a silver-white van swaying in, and when I drove to the light of the fuel dispenser, I saw clearly that this van was not a normal vehicle at all, but a paper car. It's a van made of paper! Stopped in front of the tanker!
The three of them only felt that their scalps were fried, but after watching it for a while, they saw that a full pile appeared in the video, holding a gas gun to refuel the paper car, and a large stock of gasoline was all added to the ground, and the full pile in the video seemed to know at all.
Seeing this, the pile could no longer support it, and with a snort, he fainted.
In the end, I found out that the car was the vehicle that had a serious accident at the intersection in front of the gas station three months ago. The van was a family of three, due to the man's fatigue driving, he collided with the oncoming truck at the intersection, and the family of three died, and the silver-white van with a license plate ending in 34 was hit to pieces! Due to the severity of the accident, it was also in the news at the time.
Through this fright, Manduel was admitted to the hospital, always extremely nervous, afraid of strangers, and always shivering alone. In the end, I came back without a choice, and I stayed at home and didn't leave the house!
After listening to what happened to Liu Wen, the fifth master was also very emotional and comforted Liu Wen, but Liu Wen just shook his head, smiled bitterly, picked up a bowl of wine, and drank it.
