Forty-one night, half an old street
An original story every night to accompany you through those sleepless nights...... I'm a ghostly maniac, are you ready? Start another of our stories - "Half an Old Street"!
Such a person, his sense of direction is very poor, you say that he knows the front and back, the left and right, but if you want to say the southeast, the northwest, it is not clear, and the typical one can't even find the north.
There is also a kind of people, who are more serious than not being able to find the southeast, northwest, and northwest, their sense of direction is poor, and their spatial memory is also poor, and they only remember the road they often take, and if they change it, they may not even find their home, which is the legendary "road idiot".
Zhang Xiaokai is a road idiot, and he didn't go far when he was in his hometown before, but later Xiaokai was transferred to work and came to the city.
There are many more roads in this city than in my hometown, and there are many local roads, so I was confused for a while, and I was late for the first day of work.
Fortunately, the leaders in the unit knew that Xiao Kai had a problem with road idiots, and Xiao Kai performed well on weekdays, so he forgave Xiao Kai this time.
In order that he would not be late because he could no longer find the road, Xiao Kai deliberately took a day off and found a road to the unit, and then walked the same road every day.
In fact, the place where Xiaokai is located is only a small city, with a total of only two and a half streets, and then there are several bridges connecting the main road, even if a child walks once or twice, he will remember, but Xiaokai just can't understand.
Fortunately, Xiaokai is not very stupid, and he can still remember the route after walking more times a day.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and it is inevitable that there will be a windy and rainy time, and coincidentally, when I started the night shift that night, it suddenly rained heavily in good weather.
And there is a depression on the route chosen by Xiaokai, and the drainage system of this depression has been blocked by sediment and some dirty things, and soon this depression has become a large puddle.
Part of the mud and sand on the hillside next to it washed down and settled at the bottom of the pit, it was really no one coming, the car was trapped, unless you flew a plane, no one would have thought about it!
Knowing that this section of the road is not very peaceful, a traffic police uncle has already set up a roadblock here and set up a cordon to remind passing pedestrians and vehicles to take a detour.
The hardest thing about the night shift is when it's time to sleep, but you have to get up and go to work, most people are not very used to getting up at this point, and you can't get up without one or two alarm clocks.
Unfortunately, I don't know if there was a problem with Xiao Kai's mobile phone, or if he slept too well to hear, and when he woke up, it was less than half an hour before he went to work.
Xiao Kai didn't even bother to wear a raincoat, and hurriedly rode a motorcycle towards the unit, and when he saw those roadblocks from a distance, Xiao Kai's heart instantly became half cold.
The uncle of the traffic policeman from afar beckoned to Xiao Kai and asked him to change his route and take another road.
Xiao Kai had no choice but to follow a truck and divert to another road.
The truck is carrying very heavy goods, and it is not very fast, Xiao Kai is riding a motorcycle, just able to keep up, Xiao Kai feels that he should not go wrong with the big truck.
Xiao Kai's idea was very good, but he ignored one point, that is, the place where the big truck went was relatively close, just a corner, and he also took Xiao Kai to a strange street.
It was pitch black all around, only a few street lights were dead on, and they couldn't illuminate much of the area at all, and at this time Xiao Kai realized that he had completely lost his way!
After a period of panic, Xiao Kai gradually calmed down, and called the unit first, telling him that he was lost again and that he might not be back until later.
After that, Xiao Kai rode his bike and walked along a big road, hoping to see someone who could ask for directions, or walk out of his blind cat and kill a mouse.
This is a very unfamiliar street, Xiao Kai swears that he has never been here, looking at the buildings on both sides of the street, it is still the kind of retro, there are no high-rise buildings, all are some small bungalows.
The signboard at the entrance of some shops is also made of wood, or a small flag is directly selected, and this kind of scene is estimated to be visible in the sixties and seventies.
I don't know when the rain had stopped, and the streets became very silent, when suddenly a "clanging" sound of striking iron came from not far ahead.
Xiao Kai walked over and found that it was a blacksmith shop, an old man and a young man shirtless, holding a hammer and beating a clever piece of red iron.
When I finally saw someone, I was very comforted and hurriedly walked over to ask how I could get out of this street and find my way to the unit.
The old man and the young man were stunned when they saw Xiao Kai, and then the old man stopped what he was doing and asked, "Little brother, how did you get here?"
Xiao Kai told the story of the incident, and the two men couldn't help but laugh "hehe" when they heard it.
"Dongzi, go back to the house and ask your mother, how to get out of this road, I can't imagine that our old Zhang family has been in the family for so many generations, and there is still this road idiot's problem."
The old man's words were inexplicable for a while, according to what the old man said, people seemed to be their ancestors.
But at this time, Xiao Kai was in a hurry to go to work, so he didn't care too much about this, and soon the young man named Dongzi who had just walked into the house came out again.
The young man looked at Xiao Kai and said, "I probably know how to get out, you can come with me!"
Xiao Kai trusted him to turn around in the youth guide, and after walking for nearly an hour, he still didn't find his way out.
"That Xiaokai, don't worry, I'll find someone for you to ask, rest assured that I won't let you be late!".
Xiao Kai listened and thought, I'm almost an hour late, you guy is too unreliable.
The young man asked Xiao Kai to wait in place, and went to ask someone himself.
As soon as the young man left, Xiao Kai was very worried that Xiao Kai would never come back, but fortunately, it only took about five minutes for the young man to come back, and he also brought another middle-aged man with him.
In the end, it was the middle-aged man who took Xiao Kai out of the street and found his way to the unit.
It's strange to say, I thought I would be late this time, but when I arrived at the unit, I saw that I had arrived more than ten minutes early.
Later, Xiao Kai learned from everyone that in this small city, there were originally three streets, and in addition to the current two streets, there was also a very small street.
Maybe it's because the street is relatively small, so it's gradually falling abandoned.
Xiao Kai asked his parents if his ancestors lived here, and they said that they couldn't remember clearly, but Xiao Kai's father vaguely remembered that his grandfather was a blacksmith.
Afterwards, Xiao Kai went to the deserted street again, but what he saw was a pile of ruins, completely in ruins, not to mention any blacksmith shops.
