Chapter Forty-Eight: Hitting Ghosts
When I waited in the store for about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I was ready to close the store, "Gendo", and then go to the station with my baggage. At this time, Yang Qing rushed over, followed by Yang Quan.
After getting off the car, seeing me standing outside the store with my baggage, Yang Qing made a little angry and complained, didn't you say that I would send you to the station, why did you plan to sneak away alone?
I smiled and said that I was afraid of delaying your time, anyway, I will come back soon, and there is time to meet.
She grimaced at me, then handed over a couple of bags in her hand, saying that this was some supplements for your grandfather to buy and let me take them back.
I wanted to shirk it, but when I thought about it, people bought it and sent it over, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't accept it, so I took it.
At this time, Yang Quan also approached and said, "I heard my sister-in-law say that you are going back to your hometown, so I will also come over to see you off." At the same time, he asked me if I was going to take the train or the bus.
To be honest, although I helped their Yang family a lot, I didn't expect them to be so good to me. Because I have walked the rivers and lakes over the years, I have been to a lot of places, and I have solved a lot of disasters for others, and even many people's lives have been saved by me, but no one has ever been as good to me as their brothers and sisters, perhaps in the eyes of most people, looking for me to solve disasters is like going to the hospital to see a doctor, paying me to resolve their disasters, which is as it should be, and if they do not resolve their troubles, they will have to fall into the reputation of a charlatan.
In this way, I was really touched to see their brothers and sisters so enthusiastic. I told Yang Quan that my hometown is not connected to the train, and even the bus does not go directly, so I need to change trains once or twice on the way.
Yang Quan thought about it, then took my hand, and then slapped his palm on my palm, and then saw that I had an extra car key in my hand.
I asked him what he was doing here. He pointed to a small car behind him and said: "Since it is so troublesome to go back home, then you can drive this car back, and you will also need a car to go back to your hometown to do errands, and it will be much more convenient to have your own car." ”
I can drive the car, because when I first came out and didn't decide to do yin and yang crafts, I used to be a driver to deliver goods and drive a bus. However, after all, this car is a valuable thing, in case it bumps in my hand or something, then I really can't afford to pay for it, and I will not be happy if I don't pay it, so I plan to resign.
However, Yang Quan didn't let me refuse at all, and said that this car is still a new car, and I just bought it not long ago, as long as you don't dislike it, it will be transferred to me when I come back. If I refuse, I won't give him face, saying that I saved their Yang family's life, which is far more expensive than this car.
Speaking of which, I really can't refuse. I was moved and happy in my heart, I didn't expect that I also had a car, uh, please forgive me for having this kind of love for vanity, I think every man looks at the car that represents the halo of "success" on the street in front of him, and he will fantasize about when he can have this halo, right? And I am still a mortal and a layman after all.
At that time, the car was not like now, when there were fewer cars, just after the reform and opening up for many years, the car is a real "successful person" can have something, you can imagine, when I learned that Yang Quan was going to give me this car, how excited I would be.
However, what I didn't expect was that because of this car, I almost took my own life. Of course, that's an afterthought, let me take my time.
That afternoon, I left the city with a sense of emotion and embarked on the journey home. (A book friend asked me the other day what this city is and why I didn't write its name.) Originally, I didn't want to write the place name, because the story I wrote involved feudal superstition, and many of the things in it were real people, and if I wrote the place name, it would be a bit like a feng shui gentleman boasting about himself. But there are many people who ask, and I will say here that this city is Ganzhou. )
It takes nearly five or six hours to go home, of course, this is only to our county seat, and the county seat is another hour or two away from Chenjia Town, because Chenjia Town is deep in the mountain nest deep in the university, all of which are circling mountain roads, which are extremely difficult to walk, if the road goes well, it is estimated that you will be able to get home in the second half of the night.
Although I haven't touched a car for a few years, the technology is still there, after all, we have also driven a bus before. Nowadays, there is a saying that bicycles are afraid of motorcycles, motorcycles are afraid of cars, cars are afraid of trucks, and trucks are afraid of buses. What did I do before, but I was born in a bus, so my driving skills are naturally not a problem, and I ran all the way to the direction of home.
At first, I was a little excited, firstly, I had a car, and secondly, I thought that I was going home soon, but after a long time, people got tired, and when it was dark, I took a break in a restaurant next to the gas station, had dinner, and then continued to get on the bus.
It's very fast to get dark, and it's easiest to get sleepy when driving at night, and I'm the same. Although it is not enough to doze off in the car, it is also listless.
It was late at night, and the car had long since left the city and was driving on a provincial road that crossed the mountains. At that time, it was still the early 80s, and in the early 90s, there were not too many cars on the road, especially late at night, and it was basically a long time before I encountered one.
Unconsciously, a tunnel appeared in front of me, and the dim street lights were lit in the tunnel, but there were no cars and people on the empty passageway, so the dim street lights gave people a cold feeling.
I stepped on the accelerator, and just as I was about to enter the tunnel, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of me, rushing out of the corridor on a bicycle!
The sudden change suddenly frightened me, and I was a spirit all over my body, obviously there was no one in the road just now, why did a bicycle suddenly run out? As soon as I saw the sudden change, I secretly screamed in my heart, although I stepped on a sharp brake, but there was still a muffled sound, and then I saw the bicycle hit the front of my car hard, and the man in black who was riding the bicycle was completely knocked up, flying directly from the front of the car to the back of my car......
At that time, I was stunned, shocked, frightened, scared, I hit someone to death? Sitting in the car in a daze, his whole body trembled, his heart was in a mess, and his back was already wet with cold sweat.
I endured the fear in my heart and tried my best to calm down, while constantly comforting myself, maybe not dead, maybe just some minor injuries. Thinking about this, I hurriedly ran out of the car.
As soon as I got out of the car, my first instinct was to run behind the car, because I had just seen the cyclist crash off the front of my car and fly straight to the back of the car.
But when I ran to the back of the car, I saw that there was not a single shoe on the long asphalt road behind me, under the dim street lamps in the road.
At that time, I was stunned, thinking to myself that person was obviously knocked behind me by me, why didn't I see it?
So I searched the side of the road again, but I searched a large area on both sides of the road, and I didn't find the person.
At this time, I was shocked and frightened, and I was shocked that where would this man go? I don't think that the other party was hit by me so badly, he will get up and run away on his own, even if there is no major problem, that person will ask me for compensation, right? So I was surprised and strange in my heart. And the fear is that now that I haven't found that person, I don't know whether the other party is alive or dead, and if the other party dies, then my life will be over.
While thinking like this, I didn't give up searching, and at this time, I lay on the ground and looked at the bottom of the car, thinking that it could not be under the car, but I found that there was no one under the car.
But when I walked to the front of the car and was about to look in front of it, I was startled and my hair stood on end, because when I came to the front of the car, I found that the bicycle was also missing!
If that person can't be found for a while, it may be that I knocked him out and landed in some inconspicuous place, which may be difficult to find on this big night. But the bike obviously hit the front of the car, so it's impossible and not to be seen, right? And I looked at the long road ahead, under the dim street lights in the road, the whole long road surface was very clean, not to mention the bicycle, not even a single part of the bicycle body was knocked off.
Seeing this, my scalp tingled, and my heart said I couldn't have bumped into a ghost just now, right?
