On April 25, 2015, 10 months passed until the day of graduation from university.

At two o'clock in the morning, after deleting the number "Xiaohong", I dialed the number of the eagle.

"Hey...... It's me...... Well, I decided, okay. ”

Half a month later, after saying goodbye to my grandmother and little aunt, I got on the bus bound for Shanghai.

The Hangzhou Bay Bridge, the speeding cars, the endless sea, everything is so familiar, a year ago, I started a strange and bizarre and dangerous experience along this road.

My name is Ye Feng and I am 23 years old.

……

On April 26, 2015, when I got off the train from Shanghai South Railway Station, what I had to do was not to go to the hotel to rest, nor to travel to the Oriental Pearl, but to rush to a funeral.

Ning Yougen, a native of Shanghai, settled in Ningbo when he went to the countryside, and was a former neighbor of my family.

Yangpu District, resettlement housing. As soon as I entered the door, the strong smell of incense and candles came to my nose. There were two or three people standing in the not-so-spacious living room, with a few wreaths leaning crookedly in the corner. Ning Yougen was lying upright on the door panel in a shroud, with a bowl of lanterns lit behind his feet, and the whole person was covered in a mosquito net.

Aunt Zhang, the vice president of the nursing home where he had stayed before, was in charge of arranging the mourning hall, and I was surprised that she came to preside over the memorial meeting.

After paying homage to my grandfather and going through the procedure, I asked her in private:

"Aunt Zhang, why isn't Fanzi here?" Fanzi is Ning Fanzi, the only grandson of Grandpa Ning.

"Fanzi helped his mother come from Chengdu yesterday, but now it has arrived, and the phone is also available. I said that although Father Ning is not his daughter-in-law's father, Kamo is also the grandfather of Fanzi. Now what is the light, how can it still come, the old man in the family has died, even if he takes a plane, he has to come as soon as possible, Nong said that it is a war, and the older people of Ka know this truth......"

Fanzi and I are friends who grew up with bare butts. When we were in the second grade of primary school, he moved away with his mother, Aunt Xun. After that, I never saw him again, and I could only learn a little bit about him from Grandpa Ning's mouth, and we had a few correspondences, but then we slowly lost contact.

I've always missed him so much. On the way to his grandfather's funeral, I was still inexplicably excited, and I imagined the scene of us meeting again.

The mourning hall has been deserted, except for a young man Xiao Tang who came at noon, and a distant relative who hurried to the three grandfathers Ning in the afternoon, almost no one came to mourn.

The three relatives came from Shandong, one with a mustache, one slightly chubby and one with a crown. The mustachioed middle-aged man at the head chatted with Aunt Zhang for a few words, and the other two didn't seem to be very talkative.

While waiting for the arrival of Fanzi and Aunt Xun, I chatted with Xiao Tang, who came at noon.

That buddy's name is Tang Zhengcao, and he is very angry with the book, and he looks like a school bully.

"Come on with this, I was still in class yesterday. I took two days off for this. ”

"You're just in class, I just bought a ticket today, and my teacher called me and said that the topic of the graduation thesis is not good, and asked me to rewrite it, and the deadline is the 30th of this month, it's going crazy."

"Then you carry it a little bit, are you related to Old Man Ning?"

"That's not it, we used to be neighbors, and he lived next door to my grandmother, so we had a good relationship. When Grandpa is gone, I'll see him off. What about you? ”

"Hey, I'm here for my deceased grandfather, and he used to be so good with Old Man Ning."

I gossiped with Tang Zhengcao all afternoon, and when I was about to have dinner, Fanzi and Aunt Xun still didn't come, and I couldn't sit still, so I went to find Aunt Zhang.

She was talking to a distant relative of Mustache outside the house. As soon as I went out, I heard her say, "Oops! What a disaster! Woe doesn't go alone! "As soon as I heard this, I immediately went up to ask and my gut told me that something must have happened. Sure enough, Aunt Zhang solemnly told me that Fanzi and Aunt Xun had a car accident on the highway, and the situation was very serious.

She was silent for a while and then whispered to me that it was a four-car collision and an explosion in the transporter in the tunnel. Aunt Xun was burned to death on the spot, and Fanzi was seriously injured and is now being rescued in the local hospital!

……

"Doctor, my brother and sister's bodies have also been cremated, and we have to take the child back for this matter, and the family doesn't know what to do."

It was Uncle Fanzi's mustache who spoke.

When I arrived at the hospital in Enshi, it was already noon the next day.

Two rib fractures, one shoulder blade, head hit by a heavy object, after rescue has passed the dangerous period, the condition is stable, and is now in a coma.

With gauze wrapped around his head, Fanzi lay quietly on the bed, and the monitor next to him was showing his normal heartbeat.

I haven't seen him for so many years, the reunion scene turned out to be like this, how will he face this series of things when he wakes up? I thought to myself. Tang Zhengcao, who was next to him, sighed solemnly and looked out the window.

In the evening, after all the formalities were completed, we hurriedly got on the bus back to Shanghai, carrying the stretcher on which the mortal was lying on our back.

Two days and one night, Ningbo, Shanghai, Enshi, and back to Shanghai, my body could no longer support it, and I fell asleep not long after I got in the car.

I don't know how long later, I was woken up by a quarrel, and when I was about to sit up, I suddenly found that my hands and feet were tied!

"Damn, what's the situation!" My eyes widened and I realized that I was in the back of a van. In the dim light, I saw next to Fanzi, who was still unconscious, as well as Xiao Tang, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and a distant relative who beat him - Xie Ding!

"Holy! What the hell is happening...... What's going on! "I struggled to get up.

At this time, someone grabbed me by the hair, pressed me to the car with a "bang", and said fiercely: "Be honest with me!" If you want to die, don't move! ”

I was completely confused. To be exact, cowardly.

"What are you doing with children so fiercely, don't scare them, it's not good to work later." It was the fat man who was driving in front of him who spoke.

"Y-you, what are you doing?" I asked in a panic.

"Well, do you need to ask?" Xie Dingnan said.

"It won't be...... MLM bar! "My heart went to my throat.

The man who grabbed my hair just now laughed, pointed to the scar on his face, and said, "Can you get a knife like this for a pyramid scheme?" ”

"So what are you doing...... Aren't you the uncles of mortals? What are you doing, no kidding. ”

"Who is kidding you, I said boy, don't pretend at this time, it's all to see how Old Man Ning died, relative? Friend? Acting, you're too deep into the play! The bald man patted me in the face and said.

"So what do you want...... What do you think? I whispered.

At this time, the mustache sitting in the co-pilot turned around and said to me with a sneer:

"Work."
