"Young man, if you get on from the road ahead, it's much closer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 While driving, the driver pointed to the road ahead with the other hand, and continued: "But this road has been under construction recently, and the forks in the road have been blocked, so you have to make a small circle, or you will be charged a total of fifty yuan, if you play the meter, it will definitely be more than that." ”

He Wei just nodded slightly, agreed, leaned on the glass and looked at the scenery outside the window, not paying too much attention to what the driver told him. Perhaps it was the first time he had ridden in such a car, which filled him with curiosity and made him feel particularly fresh about the scene of the moment of rushing by outside the window.

The driver casually observed his movements through the mirrors in the car, and did not continue to say anything. Instead, he continued to speed up the car, deliberately choosing some tricky routes, going back and forth throughout the remote streets and alleys.

And He Wei only looked at the continuous scenery outside the window, but he didn't notice that the direction of the driver was almost the same route, and the place that was so "big in the palm" was going around in circles over and over again.

As soon as the car approached the more prosperous area, the driver immediately twisted the steering wheel and went back with the fork in the road.

It took about half an hour for the driver to drive out of the street, which had been detoured countless times, all the way down the avenue in front of him to a bustling downtown area. There was also a noticeable increase in the number of cars on the streets, and the driver drove the taxi to a rudimentary public phone booth and parked on the side of the road.

"It's here, young man, there's a phone booth ahead." The driver lit a cigarette and leaned against the window and smoked it one by one.

He Wei turned around, immediately thanked him, and asked again how much it was.

But the driver looked like he didn't care, smiled with his back to him, and said, "Hey, don't worry, young man, don't you have to go back in a while, and then settle it together." ”

He Wei thought about it and felt that the driver was reasonable, his legs were lame, and it would be impossible to walk back for a while. He hurriedly agreed, got out of the car and took away his crutches, and slowly walked to the phone booth standing on the side of the road step by step.

When he arrived at the phone booth, He Wei found that he needed a phone card to make a call, and it could not be operated directly by throwing coins like a merry-go-round. But he didn't carry a phone card with him, and he had nothing in his pocket except a few crumpled coins.

But he looked back and saw a small yellow note pasted in the lower right corner of the pavilion.

It reads: Emergency 110120119

At this time, He Wei found that his brain was a little watery, even if the public phone called the police, it was free, as long as he called the number written on it.

He Wei immediately picked up the microphone and entered all the nine numbers written on the yellow slip of paper into the display box on the landline!! ”

As soon as the voice fell, He Wei's eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were about to fall to the ground, like a thunderous lightning quickly slashed into his heart.

But he didn't give up because of this small setback, and he always believed in his heart that this string of numbers did not need to be inserted into a magnetic card, and he may have heard it wrong just now. Then he gritted his teeth, relentlessly, and entered the nine-digit number again.

On the other end of the receiver, the young woman asked him to insert the magnetic card, and the last glimmer of hope in He Wei's heart was shattered, and he sighed and stood motionless in the phone booth like a piece of wood.

"Hey, young man, if you don't call, let me go, it's immoral to stand in a pit like you and not."

At this time, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind He Wei, and his tone was slightly heavy. I immediately looked back, only to realize that there was a gray-haired old man standing straight outside the phone booth, dressed very plainly, but with a very neat image.

"Oh, I'm sorry, grandpa, are you waiting a minute, I've just tried a lot, but that damn phone call is not angry, please, let me try."

He Wei hurriedly explained, turned around and picked up the phone, and with the last trace of faith in his heart, he entered the familiar number just now.

"Young man, it's useless for you to try a hundred times, I've been standing behind you for a few minutes, and I'm embarrassed to watch." As he spoke, the white-haired old man took out a calling card from his pocket, stretched out his hand and handed it to He Wei, and then said, "Come, take it." ”

As soon as He Wei saw the phone card in front of him, none of them were sent in the snow, and he was so moved that he almost cried: "Oh, grandpa, you are my life-saving benefactor, thank you so much for your great kindness, if you get a spring in the future, you will move to repay you." ”

"Young man, this is just a gesture, don't shoot the horse's leg, go and fight, try to hurry, I don't have much money on the card." The white-haired old man's tone was very calm.

After He Wei thanked him, he immediately turned around and walked into the phone stop, inserted the magnetic card, hung the earpiece to his ear, and entered the number on the note again, but unexpectedly, the other end of the number still came from the soft voice before: "Hello, the phone number you dialed is empty, please check and dial." Then came a language he didn't understand: "Sorry! Thenumber……”

He Wei immediately calmed down, took out the magnetic card, walked out of the phone booth with a cane, returned the card to the old man, thanked him, and said, "I'm done, I've kept you waiting." ”

After He Wei finished speaking, he sighed and turned to leave.

The white-haired old man smiled kindly, retrieved the phone card, and just walked into the phone booth for a few seconds, he hurriedly ran out, and immediately stopped He Wei, who had just left: "Hey, young man, don't go yet, wait." ”

He Wei stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Do you need to call the police, I can help you."

The white-haired old man revealed the truth with one word, which made He Wei's emotions instantly excited, and he hurriedly walked to him "quickly" with a cane.

"yes, yes, how did you know I called the police?"

I saw the white-haired old man bow his head and smile, didn't speak, took out his mobile phone directly from his pocket, looked up at He Wei and asked, "Call the doctor or the police?" ”

He Wei immediately replied: "It's all called." And told the old man the detailed address of the home and what happened.

When the white-haired old man heard this, his expression suddenly became a little exaggerated, maybe he thought what he said was a little incredible, but he still nodded lightly, and immediately dialed the police number on his mobile phone.

After the beating, the old man said, "Young man, go home quickly, I have already called the police, reported the address of your house, and the ambulance will come downstairs to your house in a short time." ”

"Thank you, thank you, old man." He Wei thanked with a smile on his face.

But there were some things that made He Wei a little puzzled, looked at the old man with doubts, and asked: "Grandpa, you actually have a mobile phone, why do you come to the public phone booth to make a call?" ”

"If you had a bottle of mineral water and a bottle of drink on the table, would you throw away one of them?" The white-haired old man smiled again, turned around and walked away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He Wei looked at the departing figure, his eyes were motionless, and after a while, he came to his senses, and walked slowly towards the side of the road, and saw that the blue taxi was still on the side of the road, and the driver saw him coming, and kept honking the horn on the car.

From a distance, the driver could be seen with anger on his face, as if he was feeling impatient. But He Wei's legs and feet never got up fast, so he walked slowly for a while before he walked to the taxi.

"Young man, please hurry up, it's been a phone call for so long." The driver watched him walk slowly and said in a heavy tone.

"I'm sorry, master, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long." He Wei bowed his head slightly and apologized, walked to the side of the car again, and stretched out his hand to open the car door.

But at this moment, the voice of the white-haired old man came from behind He Wei

"Young man, come back quickly, don't get in the car, it's dangerous."

The sound of vicissitudes came from He Wei's eardrums, and he immediately turned his head to look behind him, only to see the old man before waving his hands lightly not far away, constantly waving at him.

I don't know if He Wei didn't hear it clearly, or what's wrong, he immediately yelled at the old man: "Kind old man, is there anything else?" ”

"Come back, don't get in the car, it's dangerous." The white-haired old man stood on the other side of the sidewalk and repeated the sentence just now, stretching out his hands and waving them.

Now He Wei finally heard clearly, but he didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words, and shouted at the old man: "Why? Any questions? ”

"Who are you talking to, young man?" The driver in the car suddenly stuck his head out of the window, looked at He Wei in front of him curiously and asked.

"Right up ahead, kind old man." He Wei stretched out his hand and pointed not far ahead, then turned his head to look at the driver and replied, "Master, please wait for me, I'll come back when I go." ”

After speaking, He Wei walked over step by step towards the white-haired old man who was waving to him, and just after taking two steps, the driver of the taxi immediately stopped him and exclaimed, "Young man, come back quickly, where are you going?" It's empty in front of you, and there's not a single figure. ”

As soon as He Wei heard the driver's words, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and he unconsciously got goosebumps. Seeing the gray-haired old man in front of him, his hands waved unnaturally at all, which made He Wei stop in his tracks and immediately turn around and walk in the direction of the taxi.

At the same time, the shouts behind him became louder and louder, and it felt like it was calling in He Wei's ears, and it was still the same sentence: "Come back, don't get in the car, it's dangerous." ”

The more he heard this, the more He Wei didn't dare to look back, and after adding what the driver said to him, he suddenly thought that he had encountered something unclean before.

He Wei was trembling all over, walked to the side of the taxi, opened the door, climbed into the car, and hurriedly said to the driver in the driver's seat: "Master, drive quickly, I may have misunderstood." ”

The driver suddenly stopped talking, looked at the front expressionlessly, started the engine in the car, and drove along the bridge in front of him.

At this time, He Wei suddenly realized that something was wrong, he had never seen this bridge at all when he came before, and the direction of driving was not right, it was too obvious, he could see it at a glance, he looked at the driver in surprise and asked, "Master, where are you going?" I guess it's not the way it is. ”

"Don't worry, young man, I'll pick someone up first, just a minute, soon." The driver's voice suddenly changed, it was a little different from before, there was a miserable feeling in it, and it was like a voice coming from another space, with a hint of echo.

After hearing this voice, He Wei's face turned pale, and he inexplicably felt a fear in his heart, as if the old man before was not a ghost at all, and the driver in front of him was really a problem, he immediately couldn't help but shout loudly: "Driver, can I get out of the car, I'll pay you now." ”

"Young man, don't worry, you haven't arrived yet, and it's not too late to get there." As the driver said this, blood slowly flowed from the seven orifices' faces, spreading to his cheeks.

When He Wei saw this scene, his throat was like swallowing a big stone, he couldn't say a word, his whole body was trembling involuntarily, his heart was about to jump to his throat, and his stiff body kept sitting in his position, not daring to move.

At this time, the blue taxi was running in the middle of the street, and not far away, a woman in a red cheongsam was waving to the car, her face was pale and terrifyingly white, like a papier-mâché doll.

The driver parked the car on the side of the road, and the woman opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

And the cheongsam woman's lips were fiery red, as if she had put on a very thick lipstick, and when paired with her pale face, it looked like she had put on dead makeup.

The car continued to drive down the street for some distance until it reached a cemetery, and when the car stopped, the woman immediately took a bill from her pocket and handed it to the driver.

He Wei sat in the back position, and clearly saw that the banknote was a dark coin, and he wanted to scream, but his whole body was already numb, and he couldn't use any strength.

After the woman got out of the car, she walked straight in the direction of the grave, and soon disappeared, and at the same time, the driver of the car suddenly said to He Wei: "Young man, I'm sorry, I'll send you home now." ”

After saying that, the car turned in a different direction and continued to drive on the road, He Wei tried to open the door of the car during the period, trying to jump out of the car while he was not paying attention, but he found that the car door was like a nailed coffin lid, no matter how he twisted it, he couldn't open it.
