In Chenjia Murakami, the atmosphere of the New Year has begun to become more and more intense, and the sound of firecrackers set off by the naughty boys in the village can be heard everywhere.

In Chen Xudong's home, under the bright lights, a family of four is sitting around the dining table eating hot pot. Chen Xiangdong patted his younger brother Chen Xudong on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, don't be sad, don't take that Taoist priest's words to heart." There are no ghosts in this world, they are all blinds. ”

Chen Xudong's parents stopped the chopsticks in their hands and said to Chen Xiangdong: "Xiangdong, don't talk nonsense, it's okay if you don't believe in superstition, but don't talk nonsense." Your brother has nightmares every day, so we thought we might as well ask that Taoist priest to take a look, and maybe it would really be fine. ”

Chen Xiangdong laughed and said: "Dad, Mom, it's just that you two believe in superstition, my brother is a college student, and he actually believes in those things." ”

Chen Xudong's father said: "Xiangdong, don't talk nonsense. I think that Taoist priest does have some skills, didn't you see what happened on the day Chen Kunming's house opened the coffin? This Taoist priest had long dissuaded everyone from touching the two yin and yang fish, and later cast a spell to find the corpses of Chen Ergou and Chen Fusheng, which we had seen with our own eyes. ”

Chen Xiangdong ignored what his father said, and still haha: "I wasn't at home in those days, if I was at home, I would have exposed his deceitful nonsense a long time ago." Besides, the discovery of the corpse, our Chenjia Village is so big, but he was blinded. ”

Chen Xudong looked at his brother coldly, without saying a word, and at night, he was afraid of the nightmare, and his heart was uneasy.

While they were eating and discussing, Chen Xiangdong's mobile phone rang, and Chen Xiangdong pressed the call button: "Boss Zhang!" I wish you a happy new year in advance! ”

"What? Do you want me to help you tow the goods? I'm on New Year's Day, and I'm busy checking out these two days, so I'm really out of time. ”

The other end of the phone said: "Xiangdong, we are all old partners." I finally got a batch of steel plates, and the price may rise after the New Year, so I want to hoard them at home first, so you can help. ”

Chen Xiangdong hesitated for a while and said: "Boss Zhang, you have to say it, at the end of the year, you don't owe the debt, you have to pay cash when you get the goods." ”

Boss Zhang immediately said on the phone: "Xiangdong, this is natural, it's almost the New Year, it must be a cash settlement." If you do me a favor, I won't do you any wrong. It's the New Year, and the river is going to rise by three points. In this way, I will add you 300 yuan for this truckload of goods. ”

The two said on the phone that at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, Chen Xiangdong would go to the county seat to help Boss Zhang Zhang have a car of steel plates.

"Brother", Chen Xudong glanced at Chen Xiangdong and said worriedly: "Aren't you on a New Year's holiday?" Why do you still promise others to haul goods? ”

Chen Xiangdong said happily: "Little brother, you heard it just now, and I can't help it." These bosses are my food and clothing parents, but I can't afford to offend. If I don't go, he may find someone else to pull the goods again next year, and then I will lose a lot. What's more, tomorrow there is only one truckload of goods, or two hours, and you can get 300 yuan more than usual. ”

Chen Xudong hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, have you forgotten what Brother Zhang said, can't you go out within three days?" Otherwise, you will have a plague of blood. ”

Chen Xiangdong laughed and said, "Little brother, don't listen to that stinky Taoist priest. Brother will come back tomorrow with the goods, and you will know that he is fooling you. The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you don't need to invite them to see the ancestral grave, it's all a lie. ”

Chen Xudong couldn't help shaking his head, begging Chen Xiangdong not to go out to pull goods, how could Chen Xiangdong listen.

Chen Xudong's parents, hearing Chen Xudong's words, widened their eyes in surprise, and hurriedly asked Chen Xudong what was going on.

Chen Xudong said that he went to Qixia Temple with his brother yesterday, and Zhang Yuanshan helped Chen Xiangdong look at his face, saying that Chen Xiangdong had a bloody disaster in three days.

After Chen Xudong's parents heard this, they were shocked and frightened, and they all persuaded Chen Xiangdong to listen to the words of the Taoist priest and stay at home for three days and not go out to avoid the bloody disaster. But Chen Xiangdong was willing to listen to their hard persuasion and insisted on going out to pull goods. A family of four broke up with dinner.

Just when Chen Xiangdong's parents sighed with a heavy heart, Chen Xudong returned to his room. When he finished washing, he took out a talisman given to him by Zhang Yuanshan, lit it with a lighter, and burned it at the door of the room.

It's strange to say that Chen Xudong really didn't have nightmares all night, and for the first time in so many days, he slept so sweetly.

When he heard his parents calling him for breakfast, he looked out the window and the sun was already rising. Chen Xudong walked downstairs and asked about his eldest brother's situation, and his parents sighed and told him: "Your eldest brother didn't listen to our persuasion and already drove out." Bodhisattva bless, your eldest brother can return safely. ”

Chen Xiangdong drove the truck and arrived at the steel market in the county seat on time at eight o'clock, where Boss Zhang was already waiting.

After Chen Xiangdong parked the car, Boss Zhang instructed several workers to start moving goods to the car. Chen Xiangdong took the freight given to him by Boss Zhang, hummed a little song, and walked straight to the snack bar opposite to have breakfast.

When he came back from breakfast, he saw that his car was already filled with more than a dozen large and heavy steel plates. Chen Xiangdong saw that the goods were loaded, so he burped and sat in the driver's seat, and Boss Zhang immediately followed the car into the back seat of the cab.

Chen Xiangdong started the truck and carried the goods out of the county seat. Along the way, there were relatively few vehicles, Chen Xiangdong said to Boss Zhang with a smile while driving: "I was lucky today, there are few pedestrians on the road, and I drove fast, which can take half an hour less than usual." ”

As soon as the car struggled to climb a small hill, the sun made a large dark cloud obscure it, and the temperature suddenly felt like the temperature had dropped.

Since there were relatively few downhill roads and there were no pedestrians, Chen Xiangdong did not slow down, humming a little song and rushing down the slope happily. Boss Zhang slept in the back seat of the truck cab and snored.

Suddenly, Chen Xiangdong seemed to feel a figure flashing in front of the car, and he couldn't help but let out a cold sweat, and he instinctively stepped on the brakes.

Chen Xudong's phone rang urgently, Chen Xudong sensitively rushed up to answer the phone, just listened to a few words, immediately turned white, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and finally couldn't help crying "wow".

Seeing this, Chen Xudong's parents were surprised and asked Chen Xudong what was going on.

Chen Xudong cried for a while, choked up and said, "Dad, Mom, something happened to the eldest brother." It was a call from the traffic police just now, so let's rush over immediately. ”

Chen Xudong's father opened his mouth wide, reacted after a while, and asked anxiously: "Xudong, is your brother seriously injured?" ”

Chen Xudong cried: "Dad, the traffic police said that the eldest brother has died. ”

When Chen Xudong's mother heard this, she immediately fainted, and his father also sat on the ground.

Hearing the crying from the Chen family, the neighbors on the left and right came to look, and when they heard about Chen Xudong's accident, they hurriedly supported Chen Xudong's parents.

A neighbor immediately drove his own car and invited Chen Xudong's father and Chen Xudong to get into the car, because he was worried that Chen Xudong's mother would not be able to withstand the blow, so he left her at home and was accompanied by several neighbors to take care of her.

The car soon arrived at the scene of the accident, which was already surrounded by a crowd of watchers, and two police cars and six or seven traffic police were busy at the scene.

Finally pried open the door of the carriage, and the traffic police pulled Boss Zhang, who was sitting in the back row, out of the carriage. Boss Zhang was only slightly injured, and his body was covered in blood.

After the 120 emergency personnel lifted Boss Zhang into the car, they immediately pulled the siren and rushed to the hospital.

When the traffic police dragged Chen Xiangdong's body down from the car with great difficulty, Chen Xudong's father, who saw the tragic situation, immediately fainted.

Chen Xiangdong on the stretcher, curled up, his whole body was blurred with flesh and blood, and what was even more terrifying was that there was no head on the corpse. The wound on his neck was fresh, as if it had been cut by a sharp knife.

The traffic police searched a large area and found no complete head of Chen Xiangdong, only a few crushed skull fragments.

When Chen Xiangdong's body was pulled home in the evening, not long after, the traffic police responsible for handling the accident also came with Boss Zhang's interrogation record and on-site investigation report.

I don't know what the reason is, which caused Chen Xiangdong, who was going downhill, to step on the brakes sharply. The steel plate on the carriage, under the action of huge inertia, cut the rope tied to it and directly flattened half of the cab. The steel plate quickly cut through Chen Xiangdong's neck, taking Chen Xiangdong's life in an instant. Boss Zhang, who was resting in the back row, survived, but was squeezed and suffered some minor injuries.

With the help of everyone, the Chen family set up a funeral shed where the corpses were parked. According to local customs, Chen Xiangdong, who died unexpectedly, covered the body of Chen Xiangdong, who had no head, with a large piece of red cloth. A group of drummers were also blowing in a hurry, which made the people in Chenjia Village feel furious in their hearts.
