I was awakened by this, and one of the law enforcement officers, his face almost touching mine, looked at me and smiled, probably laughing at me for being able to sleep under such circumstances. I opened my eyes, startling him.
"Uncle police, I'm innocent."
I didn't expect that when I woke up, I would be interrogated by someone. It was truly ironic.
The policeman glanced at me and said, "Get out of the car!"
I realized that I was the only one left in the car, and that the others had already left. I got out of the car in a daze and was escorted into a room, a table, a bench, and the bench was not for me to sit on.
That person sat down and said, "What are you shouting about, where are you staying?!"
I answered them one by one.
"How did you know Huang Profound Dragon?"
I said I didn't know him and I didn't know when he came to our village.
"This Huang Xuanlong is a well-known leader of a cult. He has gathered illegally in more than one place many times, played tricks on others, destroyed social order and obstructed the process of building a harmonious society. There are many police stations that have filed his report. "He's on the legal net today. It's all thanks to some of you reporting him via text message. Otherwise, more people would have been cheated by him."
We stayed in the police station until dawn, and my parents came to pick me up. They asked me how I was, didn't they?
I said it was nothing, just a false alarm.
Then the glass came out, stretching and yawning.
I said you didn't get beaten up, did you?
Glass laughed, and said, "I was a meritorious general, how could they beat me? I told them about the matter of summoning souls the other day, scaring them into a daze!"
"Meritorious officials? Did you expose it? " I asked.
Glasses chuckled again as a sign of tacit approval. However, this matter was rather strange. Huang Xuanlong had been caught playing tricks on him, and he had actually let it go.
How could he be reasonable?
Mom asked me about Cao Ol'fifth.
I said he would never show up again. Mom asked something else, so I waved my hand to indicate that she should stop. Because she asked too many questions, she was afraid of revealing her identity as the judge.
Mom and Dad cooked a very sumptuous lunch at noon and invited Uncle Fu and Auntie Gui Hua over. Firstly, it was to calm us down, and secondly, it was to relieve our bad luck.
On the table, Glass took out two packets of Zhonghua and threw them to her dad, saying, "This is from the director. I'm offering them to the Buddha."
"Is this counted as a reward for the bureau chief reporting his meritorious service to you?" I asked.
At this point, the glass went crazy again, and said, "I know their boss, even if I'm not a whistleblower, he should send me back. "Originally, I was going to give him a silk banner. I said I'd forgo it, let's take two packs of cigarettes. He actually really just took two packs …"
I didn't like to talk to him. Only Uncle Li Fu and Aunt Gui Hua, who were afraid of losing his face, smiled from time to time to show that they were listening.
"Erlang, when did you and Si Nan get their certificate? Hurry up and get a child." His mother said as she was filling the bowl with rice.
Glass and I were stunned. We looked at each other, puzzled, then at Mom at the same time. We pointed at each other, indicating that we were getting married and having children.
His mother was also stunned for a moment and then realized what had happened. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm talking about you and Lu Siran!"
I kicked the glass under the table and cursed, "F * ck you, what lousy name did you come up with!" His mother immediately used her chopsticks to call over, "You're not allowed to swear!"
This meal was very relaxed. In the words of the present, it was very harmonious. The glass didn't drink because it had to be driving in the afternoon, but it was very chatty. Glass asked if I still wanted to go see the leopard before I left. I said never mind, he refused to come even if I invited him for lunch. He probably didn't want to interact with outsiders, so he wanted to be alone. Glass asked if the gossip in the house would be returned to him. I said I would let Uncle Fu have it for two days.
After settling this matter, I heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that my dream was not as simple as a dream. But do I go to trial in such a dream, or do I go to another world after I sleep? I touched the trident on my leg. It still hurt a little. Other than that, Huang Profound Dragon seems to have some skill, otherwise how would he be able to see through my identity and force back Cao Ol'fifth with a single move?
In the afternoon, Glass and I rested for a while before we prepared to head back to the city. I say glass, you are so good. In these three days, you have been carried on your body three times, more than you have ever tried to seduce a woman. Let's see if you dare to get involved in this matter again.
Glass touched his chin, then looked at me hatefully and said, "I was hit by you even after the upper part of my body. It still hurts a little now." He suddenly changed the topic, "But it's very exciting. Next time, you'll definitely call me for this."
We talked and laughed and walked out the door, and Mom walked us all the way to the inner and outer side of the road. I was just about to say goodbye to my mother through the window when a woman came over. I know this person, Wu Rilan, who was a teacher in my elementary school at the time, and she was very young at about forty-five, with hair that fell to her chin, and a beauty in the corner of her mouth, but at this age she is not really a beauty, because her face is covered with wrinkles and her eyes are sunken so deep that it is impossible to tell that she is in her forties. She was wearing a gray coat and dark blue trousers, which had been rolled up to her knees, and a hoe was slung over her right shoulder. She looked ready to go to work.
She walked up to the car and recognized me. "Erlang, when did you get back?"
When I saw that it was my childhood teacher, I hurriedly got out of the car. "Isn't this Teacher Wu?" "Long time no see. How are you?"
Wu Rilan didn't answer my question directly. The smile on her face gradually faded. "How can I still be your teacher? Call me elder sister."
According to seniority, I really should call her Big Sister Rilan. I called her that when I was young, and she was very happy when she heard it.
"Oh, Big Sister Rilan."
She forced a smile out of the corner of her eye and asked where we were going.
"Oh, let's go back to the city."
"Back to the city?" She frowned, looked northwest, then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back. There's a bridge leading to the city that's about to break. It's going to be blocked by a lot of cars!" She turned and walked away, as if she were afraid someone would ask her why. But I did want to ask her how she knew, but once she was gone, I didn't have the nerve to ask. "If Hua Guang is here, he should be in university by now."
I whispered, "What happened to Hua Guang?"
His mother looked at Wu Rilan and replied in a low voice, "I drowned. It was just two years ago."
"Two years?" The reason why I asked such a question is because Hua Guang is around the same age as me. Even two years ago, he could be counted as a young man.
"Not only his son, but his husband also drowned last year."
"What?" How could this be? " I can't believe what happened to her. No wonder I asked if she was all right, and her face changed.
After my mother and I bid farewell, we set off on our journey. I can't not go back because of the word "bridge is breaking." As soon as I got into the car, the glass said, "Did you see the woman's ankle?"
I said I didn't notice.
The glass said, Wait a minute, you can look at it later. He hung up and hurried forward. Apparently, he was trying to catch up with Big Sister Rearan so I could have a good look at him.
As I passed her, I saw that the leg was indeed strange. The upper part of the left foot's neck was very thin, while the lower part was very thick. It gave the impression that the upper part of the leg had been pinched, and the piece of flesh and bone had been squeezed under it.
"See that?"
I said I did.
"What did you see?"
I said a bit thick and a bit thin.
He swore at the fool and said, "Don't you see there are handprints on the thin section? It's like being held by someone."
Did I say yes?
Glass shook her head and said, "Forget it, I won't say anymore."
The ground was once again covered in loess. It was as if the entire field was covered in a layer of fog, making it difficult to see everything through the fog. The car crawled along the road like this, and I nearly vomited my lunch.
When we finally made it to the highway, both Glass and I breathed a sigh of relief. The glass sped up, and the trees on the side of the road quickly retreated. I called Lu Siran.
"Darling, am I home soon?"
"You still know how to come back?" Lu Si Ran roared in anger. After a few days, her anger still hadn't faded. It seemed like she had to go home and apologize.
"Still angry? I'll explain it to you when I get home later, you'll definitely be satisfied! "
"Hmph, if I'm not satisfied, I will break your legs." The person on the other end of the line hung up angrily.
I hung up and curled up in the seat like a deflated ball. Because this thing can't be explained, I said. I went home to help people exorcise ghosts. Even I don't believe this. I think I'll die even worse this time.
"Why don't I go back with you and explain?"
I hurriedly said, "Don't, don't go. If you do, Siran will never believe you!"
The glass snorted in dissatisfaction.
I lay down because I had a drink at noon, and then my spirits came up and I fell asleep.
I dreamt of Mrs. Zhao holding her grandson and kowtowing to me, and of me and the glass kicking Cao Lao Wu so hard that he jumped and jumped in pain, and of the man in black admitting that he was the bolt, and chasing after the car and shouting, "Get off, get off!" The dream was a mess.
I don't know how much time passed before the car suddenly came to a screeching halt. The ear-piercing screeching of the brakes pulled me out of my dream. Before I even opened my eyes, the glass kept hitting me.
"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.
Glass's forehead was covered in sweat and his face was deathly pale. His eyes were filled with panic as he patted his chest and said repeatedly, "Damn, you scared me to death. You scared me to death!"
I also wondered what could have scared the glass to such an extent. I looked at the front of the car. It didn't matter. Five meters in front of him was a bridge that spanned about twenty meters. Below it was a large river, and because of the drought, most of the riverbeds were exposed. It didn't matter if it was just that. The most important thing was that the bridge was two-thirds of its original length. Only a third of the bridge's length was left standing on the other side, revealing the long steel bars. The top of the bridge was covered with mist, and wisps of dust had yet to completely disperse. This meant that the bridge had just collapsed.
This bridge was the only passageway that led from our direction into the city. It wasn't considered high, at most it was only seven to eight meters long, and it was made of steel bars and concrete. This was extremely firm. Even if there were ten thousand reasons for it to break, it would still not break. However, it truly did break today. It truly made people puzzled.
I stared at the glass for a long time before regaining my senses. I leaned back and sighed, "Oh no. I can't explain it to Si Ran today."
When Glass heard this, she flew into a rage. "Pfft! Explain to her? We were almost holding hands and going to hell, and you still want to explain? "Hurry up and get off the car to prevent the grandson behind us from bumping into us. Then, we will die unjustly."
On the highway, this kind of situation often happened. When there was a car accident in front, the car behind them would often be hit by the car behind them, causing casualties. To die like this in the midst of secret blessings, how to know the source of the blessing of disaster.
I got off the car with Glass. The alcohol had long since left my body and I walked up to the broken bridge to take a look. I couldn't help but feel scared. If the glass brake was half a second too late, no, even if it was 0.1 seconds, we would really be crippled. I looked under the bridge again. There was nothing under the bridge, so it didn't seem to have caused any casualties, but since no heavy vehicles had passed, there was no reason for the bridge to collapse.
"The tofu project!" Glass sighed and just as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Glassbolt took the phone, his brow furrowed, his face puzzled. He turned his head and said, "Huang Xuanlong has escaped."
