This year's Spring Festival is destined to be full of tragedy, but there are people who stay in empty houses at the time of reunion, lonely in the empty city, wrapped in quilts and trembling and playing with mobile phones. Snowflakes were floating outside the window, and the flower beds on both sides of the road were piled with black snow several meters high.

Snow mixed with melting snow and ice stood like a solid black ice wall on both sides of the road, separating pedestrians from vehicles. The flowers and plants under the ice wall are still alive and well. It didn't seem to be affected at all by the icy climate and the heavy snow that weighed down on me! Flowers and plants have sprouted and grown tenaciously in places invisible to people in the past few days between the Spring Festival. Squeezed through the snow and hard black ice and grew in.

At the corner of the ice wall, there are still remnants of vehicles left by car accidents, and near the ice wall, you can see that there are traces left by cleaning workers and accumulated, and there are also residues from various vehicle accidents. Layers of snow are mixed in.

The snow that melts every morning due to the snowfall during the day remains on the street, and when the weather gets cold in the evening, the layer of unshoveled snow becomes thin ice, and car accidents often occur in the morning, and the last cleaner to pile up the debris in the ice wall.

In the small way, there are countless car accidents in the cities during this snowy winter, and in the poorly cleaned suburbs, car accidents are more frequent.

Today is the twenty-ninth year of the new year, and there is only one day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, as if the sky is beautiful, the gloomy and snowy weather for a month has finally cleared up, and the sun that has not been seen for many days shyly shows half of its face from the thin clouds.

Wang Ming is a driver, after graduating from high school and not being admitted to the army, he was divided into Sichuan-Tibet automobile soldiers, practiced a good technique, and did not give up driving after retiring from the army, but became a truck driver who ran all over the country.

And in this month, he did not rest at home because of the weather, but took this opportunity to do a big job, because of the weather, many drivers are not doing the work, and this has led to demand exceeding supply, and the price of rental cars has soared.

And Wang Ming is also because of the courage of the artist, do any work, and every time can be completed perfectly, more and more shippers are looking for him, many bold truck drivers died in the heavy snow, and he because of his superb technology, coupled with his cautious nature, disasters have passed with him.

Today is his last shipment of the year, and he can prepare for the New Year when he returns home.

Wang Ming drove cautiously, and several cars pulled a very large distance on a curved highway, driving on the road left behind a thin layer of ice after being melted by the snowmelt truck.

"Jingle bell!!" An ancient bell rang from Wang Ming's seat.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, the other hand fumbled for the mobile phone next to him, and after a quick glance, he found the mobile phone with his right hand, swiped his thumb on the screen, and then clicked the speakerphone, and the voice came out of the microphone.

"Brother! Where have you been? An unusually steady voice said to Wang Ming.

"It's coming, it's almost there, it's almost 30 kilometers to the county seat, what's wrong? That's a couple of phone calls! ”

"Oh! It's okay, just ask where you've been, it's just that the snow on the road is so thick now, you have to be careful! "There was no sound for a while, and there was no more noise over there, as if something had been better.

Wang Ming, who hung up the phone, had a bad premonition, and when he was returning a few days ago, the little sister at home kept calling him and asked what happened, and he said it was okay. Everyone in the family also talked on the phone once, and they were fine. But a faint sense of unease has always accompanied.

The car quickly crossed a bridge, from this side of the canyon to that side, in fact, the road is not very steep, the road is in the middle of a handsome canyon, it is a road opened in the fifties and sixties with explosives and human life, the road has been renovated but not repaved, but I heard that this road will be reopened and paved after the spring.

Cautiously leaning on the right side of the car, I saw the turn and honked the horn in advance, and I had nothing to do all the way, and I arrived at the county seat safely.

Not long after arriving at the county seat, the phone rang again.

"Little sister!! What the hell is going on? ”

"Brother! Dad is gone! Sobbs were heard from there.

"Hasn't Dad been in the hospital? Are you okay before I go? And didn't the doctor say he was getting better when I left? ”

"You were fine when you left, but the snow has been so heavy these days that the power lines have been broken, the whole town has a power outage, and there is no heating or anything!!"

"Doesn't the hospital have a generator? How not to use it? ”

"Generator!! The generator broke after a while, I heard them say that it was good before, and then it was not used for a long time after using it once, no one cared about it, and then it was broken! ”

"Go home! Find a car! ”

I found the owner of the goods that I had made an appointment with in advance, handed over the truck to a friend in the city, let him watch the unloading, and borrowed an off-road vehicle with snow tires and chains, and ran all the way home on the empty country road.

The car flicked its tail on the village road, and the rear of the car brushed over the two-person high ice and snow wall, turned a corner, and soon arrived at the door of the house after Wang Ming's superb skills, and he also saw the people in the village standing at the door with sackcloth and white hats waiting for him.

I got out of the car, turned around, and saw the soul banner cut out of white paper hanging high in front of the door, swaying with the wind and snow, and a mourning couplet with white characters on a green background pasted in front of the door.

In fact, Wang Ming had already guessed in the urging of his little sister, but he didn't expect to see even the last side. From the hands of the "party family" in the same village, the mourning clothes were fruited, and the little sister also trotted over in filial piety.

"When Dad was sober before, he didn't let us tell you, saying that he was afraid that you would be in a hurry and something would happen, two days ago, Dad really couldn't hold on, and the younger brother told Dad, saying that you don't have to wait any longer, you will be very uncomfortable like this, and besides, the people in the family and your relatives have seen it a few days ago, don't wait any longer."

"Later, Dad blinked, glanced at us, left with a tear in his eyes."

"Don't blame the little brother, I look at my dad is very uncomfortable, my dad can't breathe and eat by himself, his whole body is full of tubes, only his eyes can move, he is very painful!!"

"I see, I don't blame you!" Wang Ming wiped the tears that had become cold when they came out of his eyes.

Holding the wooden stick that the "party family" handed over to him wrapped his hand to beat paper money, he walked through the tent where he ate the disaster banquet and came to the mourning hall.

A wide linen cloth hung straight up, blocking the old man who covered his face with yellow paper, wore a shroud, and covered it with a quilt bought by relatives such as his son and daughter.

quietly took the paper money handed over by his son Wang Xiaoping, and burned the paper in the paper basin in the mourning hall in front of the linen.

After Wang Ming arrived, some processes also began, and soon after, the process at home ended.

"Come to Xiaoping, take this soul-attracting flag, walk in front, I'll be in the back," Wang Ming said, handing his son a small paper banner cut from various colors, this paper flag is actually not more than 1 meter high, and the paper flag at the gate is large, 6 meters high, and the long paper flag hangs from the top of the flag to the snow.

After a burst of mourning, Wang Xiaoping, the eldest grandson, took the lead out of the house with a soul-attracting flag, and then Wang Ming also walked out with a paper spiritual position, and a few strong men behind walked out carrying a solid wooden coffin, and a few "yin and yang" chanting scriptures and doing the law also came out, and walked all the way to the dug cemetery.

The coffin was placed on the prepared stool, and the person wearing mourning clothes sprinkled the change he had with him to the bottom of the tomb.

After scattering, he kowtowed three times to the grave-diggers, and then the grave-diggers jumped into the tomb and took up the money they had spilled, leaving only five coins to put in the four corners and the middle.

After leveling the bottom of the tomb, the coffin entered the tomb with the man's cry.

Pulling out the rope, the relatives held a handful of frozen and stiff soil on the frozen soil and sprinkled it on the coffin, and then the accompanying men picked up shovels and buried the coffin.

The snow fell heavily again, and the brief sunny days disappeared again.

This winter, it's not good!!
