Chapter 14: Exploring the Way
That night, the plane went straight to Guixi, and in order to cover up our whereabouts, we only found a small hotel that did not require identity authentication to rest, and prepared to go to Qinghu Township the next day.
To go to Qinghu Township, can only take a car, there are more mountains in that area, built a winding mountain road, the bus station has only two cars a day, the first class we have missed, the second class to six o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, drive over, about two hours away, the straight line distance is close, but the mountain distance is very far.
Originally, I wanted to charter a car, but after asking a few cars, there was no deal, it is said that the road to Qinghu Township, a few days ago heavy rain, there were a lot of yellow mud roads, the car on the road is easy to hit, the local government has banned the passage of cars, can only take the car listed at the station.
We entered the hotel, ate something at will and went back to the room to rest, because the time was still early, and there was no sleep, I called one by one, after returning from Wushan, except for the first three days, the time has been very tight, and there are many things delayed.
I called my parents first, and after the usual condolences, my mother suddenly said: "You are not young anymore, it is time to have a girlfriend, don't learn from your third and second uncles." I smiled bitterly, I don't know how to answer, if I used to have a beautiful vision of family and love, then now, I really don't know how to be good, just like the third uncle said, people like us, full of dead people, may die at any time, now looking for a wife, except for harming others, there is no other role.
Of course, if there is a woman who only needs my money and does not want my people, then it is a different matter.
I didn't know how to answer, so I said a few perfunctory words, saying that I was busy with my career, and I would look for it when I was free, my mother sighed, and said that I was too old to take care of it, so whatever you wanted.
Then, I made a condolence call to the fat man, his mental condition has improved a lot, I asked him how his body is, whether his appetite is good, he howled on the other end of the phone: "You have no conscience, it took so long to care about the fat man and me, what appetite is good, eat this sick meal, the fat man is about to fade out of a bird in his mouth." If you kid really have a heart, come to Beijing to express condolences to me, and Xiaolin's girl also asked about you. ”
Kobayashi? I was stunned, and then I reacted that it was the cheongsam beauty of the fat man who was watching the store, and I suddenly felt that I couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Okay, okay, why are you more worried than my mother." ”
The fat man paused and said, "I said, how is it lately, little brother An is restless?" ”
I said: "It's okay, the little brother is very peaceful, he has no intention of running away from home, and he doesn't fight, he is very well-behaved, three good students." The fat man said, "That's good." After saying that, we had nothing to say, and the fat man was quiet for a while, and then began to talk nonsense, talking about the little nurse in the hospital, from beautiful women to socialism, and finally concluded: "For the future of the motherland, we must continue to work hard." ”
After I hung up the phone, I couldn't remember, this dead fat man talked for half an hour, what did he talk about, is there an inevitable connection between beauty and socialism?
In the afternoon, we left the hotel and got on the bus at the bus station to Qinghu Township.
I don't know how many years the car has been driven, it has been a heavy exhaust, the seats can not see the original color, in order to wait for the car to be full, the original departure time of six o'clock was a full hour and a half late, and when the car went on the road, it was already half past seven, and the winter was dark relatively fast, especially this kind of city around the mountains, at the moment it was already a gray piece, looking down at the high place of the bus station, the whole city was covered with a layer of lead ash.
The car hovers on the mountain road, looking through the window, the mountains are like a coiled black snake, all around are black, the car is full, most of them are workers dressed up, twisting large bags and small bags, some are going to the city to sell goods, twisting empty snakeskin bags, with a satisfied smile on their mouths, most of them are locals, like our five big men, it is more conspicuous.
The trip was boring, and after a while, the four guys took a deck of cards, and a few of them secretly looked at me a few times, and finally couldn't help but say: "Master Wu, why don't you come along?" ”
I looked over, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
The four people looked like they had seen a ghost, and hurriedly gave me a seat, I felt very sad, people of the same age, it stands to reason that we can hook our shoulders and put our backs, this expression of awe, made me feel very uncomfortable, not sad, not angry, it was a very deep feeling, as if it was a piece of lead, heavy, and people vaguely felt that there was something important, which was getting farther and farther away from me.
At first, the four people were more restrained, but the gambling table was the easiest to relax, playing for an hour, when I lost a thousand yuan, they had changed from Wu Ye to the evil brother, when I heard this name, the cold hair on the back of the whole person stood up, and hurriedly said: "What evil brother, it sounds unlucky." ”
The youngest, nicknamed White Rooster, hurriedly said, "Yes, it's called Angkor." Angkor, what are we going to Qinghu for this time? I didn't say anything, I glanced at him, the white rooster seemed to know that he had overpassed, and he laughed dryly to touch the cards, and I said: "Find someone, you should travel for free." ”
"Jiangxi is a good place." A guy under the dumb sister hurriedly played a round and said with a smile: "There are many famous mountains and blessed lands, and there are many fights." "His name is Tongzi, he has a flat head, he is about the same age as me, but his muscles are bronze, he is very strong, he seems to be the most mature one in our group, he is also relatively sleek, he is the right-hand man of the dumb sister, as soon as I see him, I think of Panzi, they are very similar, they are not the same age, but the personality is very similar, I don't want to face him.
At this moment, for some reason, the car suddenly came to a sudden brake, the car sleeping, chatting, wrapping us to play cards, suddenly were rushed by the force of this sudden braking, I was the whole person leaned back, seeing that I was about to hit the back seat of the car, in a panic, the tube pulled me, fixed my figure, and then, the car stopped.
"What's going on?" Someone in the car asked.
Most of them stood up, I guess it didn't hit something, so he waved his hand, signaled that the same son was okay, and then followed in the direction of the front of the car, and when he looked, he found that the driver who was driving was also sweating, he turned his head to a car of dissatisfied passengers, and said, "There is a rabbit running over." ”
Driving in the mountains, you often encounter some animals crossing the mountain road, but most of these things come out during the day, in the mountain legend, if you drive at night and encounter this thing, it is a dead ghost to change, to buy road money from the people in the car, the passengers in the car, must each throw a ticket, throw it on the road, otherwise, there will be ominous things happening.
Most of the locals here, the mountain people know these legends, as soon as the driver finished speaking, some people began to rummage through the bag, one of them, took out a one-dollar coin and a ten-dollar ticket, seemed to be struggling, which one to throw.
But there are also people who don't believe in evil and shout: "It's not just a rabbit, just run over it." Some people who believed still threw coins to show their peace of mind, some people cursed and scolded, sat still and didn't move, the driver slowed down, took out a one-dollar ticket from his bag, threw it on the road, and prepared to leave.
I also opened my wallet, took out a hundred, thought about it, I took out five hundred, divided four of the tickets to the four guys, and motioned for them to throw the money, they were stunned, and the white rooster shouted: "Angkor, do you still believe this?" ”
I looked at him and said, "I didn't believe it before, but now I do." "When the people in the car saw us taking out red tickets, their eyes were straight, and they looked at us one by one like fools.
In fact, similar to such strange legends, abound, are classified as feudal superstition, it is said that in the past, such things have happened, some people see the superstition of drivers and passengers, deliberately prepare rabbits or snakes and other things, hide in the forest and release them, waiting to pick up money, so in recent years, it is in the mountains, there are not many people who believe in these.
If it was before, I would definitely scoff at it, but time has passed, and over the years, I have encountered too many things that cannot be explained by science, which is not that I am denying science, but that there are indeed many things in this world that human beings have not yet discovered and understood.
If there is no wind, there must be a reason for the wind, and I would rather believe that it is better to buy peace.
Ignoring the surprised and hated eyes of the people in the car, I closed my eyes, learned to sleep in a stuffy oil bottle, the car staggered and continued to drive forward, and the four of them didn't have the heart to play cards, and they fell asleep on the seats one after another.
When I opened my eyes, everything around me was spinning, and I couldn't even touch the ground with my feet, and there was a constant sound of shattering windows, and countless glass shards were splashing, and no one could stand up.
At this time, Tongzi shouted: "Protect Angkor." ”
Damn it. I knew that the car had overturned, and my heart instantly cooled, my forehead was hot, and the blood flowed all over my face, and in the confusion, I grabbed the fixed handle of the car and yelled, "Leave me alone, it's all fixed." "After I finished yelling, the lights in the car were completely cracked, and there was no light, and there was a huge impact and explosion, and only the screams of people remained.
I couldn't help anyone at the moment, to be exact, I couldn't protect myself, I could only rely on my two arms to hold the fixed handle, the force of the rollover was too great, even to hold the handle was difficult.
At this moment, I couldn't think too much about it at all. Since I embarked on the road of the third uncle, I have thought of many ways to die, dying in the hands of the enemy, dying in the hands of zongzi, dying in the organs, and even dying in its hands, but I never thought that it would be an ordinary car accident to take my life.
The car turned over very quickly, and in the end, I don't know if it was the end, in the chaos, the whole body trembled, the back of my head slammed into something, and then, the sky and the earth were dark, and all the sounds were still.
