Chapter 17: What exactly was saved?

Views:

For people who don't know much about cars, buying a car is a very headache problem. They can't avoid asking their knowledgeable friends or relatives for advice. After all, some cars do have their own disadvantages, and there may also be some problems, such as quality or performance.

But in the final analysis,

You can burn a hole in the car door with a cigarette butt.

We can no longer use the ambiguous excuse that there are quality issues with the car, right

All this only shows one thing.

This is a car.

Paper car!

The driver was middle-aged, but his eldest son was probably only in primary school. Therefore, the driver said that his son gave him the car.

In fact, the word "捎" here means

It can also be written as "烧".

Dad is dead.

His son burned a paper car for him.

Zhou Ze shook his head. To be honest, he really didn't see it beforehand. He only realized something was wrong in the car later, but he still wanted to pretend to be confused.

He himself was a stowaway, and he had no desire to become Zhang Tianshi.

After all, he is also a ghost.

If he takes up the banner of eliminating demons and defending righteousness, he will really be no different from a traitor, and will be called a "ghost traitor."

Zhou Ze put his palm over to cover the small hole, pretending to be sleepy, half-closing his eyes and acting as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Ze remembered that when he was in an orphanage, there was a teacher there who usually took everyone in physical activity classes and also had a part-time job - guarding the gate.

Because his last name was Qin, the kids at that time called him “Uncle Qin the Doorman.”

Uncle Qin was very good at telling stories, and he often told ghost stories. He seemed to be very satisfied with the frightened expressions on the faces of children when they heard his stories. The dean had talked to him several times about this, but he did not restrain himself.

Just before Zhou Ze left the orphanage to go to school, Uncle Qin passed away due to a myocardial infarction.

Zhou Ze remembered that Uncle Qin once told a ghost story called "Ghosts Carrying a Sedan Chair".

According to legend, in ancient times, there were many kinds of ghosts. After most people died, they went directly to the underworld, entered the Yellow Springs, drank Meng Po soup, and then entered reincarnation. There were very few ghosts that could stay in the world of the living.

But some ghosts still keep them. They may know that they are dead, or they may not know that they are dead. But no matter what, they may still be doing what they did when they were alive.

For example, sedan bearers.

They specifically appear on the road in the wilderness or late at night and ask people if they want to take a sedan chair. They set the price very cheaply and then pay the bill after the person takes the sedan chair and arrives at the destination.

But it is not so simple and ordinary for living people to do business with ghosts and enjoy the services provided by ghosts. When ghosts carry the sedan chair, what they want is not money, but your lifespan, or your spirit.

In the underworld, ghosts are the ones who carry the sedan chair for the King of Hell and other figures. What is the status of living people? Are they worthy of it

It's like an eighty-year-old man kneeling down to you; it will shorten his lifespan.

Zhou Ze remembered this story very clearly. In fact, Zhou Ze still remembered many stories told by Uncle Qin. Even after he grew up and started working, he did not forget them.

Because Zhou Ze knew that the day before Uncle Qin died of a sudden illness, Uncle Qin, who always only looked out the gate and never entered the backyard, made an exception and walked into the children's dormitory, looking at each room one by one. Zhou Ze happened to be awake at the time and saw this scene.

It seemed that Uncle Qin knew that his time was coming and came to say goodbye in advance.

Just as Buffett's fart can make people feel that there is a great secret of wealth in it,

For a person who knows that he may die tomorrow, the ghost stories he tells cannot be regarded as absurd.

The driver was still chattering and bragging, and Zhou Ze remained calm in the back.

Shorten your life

Damage to your energy

Zhou Ze was not very scared. He was not a living person, he was also a ghost.

To put it bluntly, although Zhou Ze did not understand the stratification and class division of ghosts, the fact that he could walk in the sun, meet living people, open a shop and do business should mean he was much more advanced than the wandering ghosts outside, right

Moreover, even the faceless woman in the pool of hell could be hurt by his nails. So when facing other ghosts, Zhou Ze was actually quite confident.

"In recent years, more people have bought cars and driven them, and more people have not followed the rules." The driver continued to chat. Even if Zhou Ze did not agree or respond, he could still chat.

"If the forest is big, there will be all kinds of birds. Anyway, if you really want to get angry with them one by one, you will lose many years of your life.

Although I know I shouldn’t get angry, some people go out with a label on their forehead that says ‘You’re going to kill me, you’re going to kill me’, which is really annoying.”

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes. He felt a little sleepy and even wanted to sleep.

But he knew that he couldn't fall asleep, and therefore, this clear feeling at this moment should be false.

Zhou Ze suddenly burst into laughter.

He understood why the driver kept chattering all the way. He knew that his constant chatter was annoying.

Because he couldn't fall asleep, he had to keep talking to pretend that everything was normal.

He wanted to make himself fall asleep.

And I have always been very slow in responding to sleep.

Zhou Ze smiled, put his hands on the seat and closed his eyes.

Go to sleep.

The car began to slow down.

The driver's voice became quieter and quieter as Zhou Ze fell asleep.

At the same time, the driver turned his head and looked behind him.

However, at this moment, a look of struggle suddenly appeared on the driver's face. Finally, he shook his head violently, sighed, and continued driving forward.

It looks like we're almost at the bookstore.

Zhou Ze didn't know how a ghost driving a paper car could move a person with a body like him.

This is difficult to explain, because there is no branch of "ghost mechanics" in physics;

Furthermore, there are sayings such as "Yellow Turban Warrior" and "Qi Men Dun Jia" in ancient Chinese legends. I guess the principles are similar to the above.

Zhou Ze woke up slowly because he felt that the driver in front of him was slowly emitting light.

interesting,

I seem to have been encountering good ghosts recently.

The driver should have "collected money" from himself, but he couldn't bear to do it. It was probably the first time he had done such a thing, so he couldn't do it. In this struggle, he found self-liberation and redemption.

He began to dissipate.

After dissipating, one will enter hell and enter reincarnation.

From this we can see that all the "nonsense" the driver said before was not all lies. He has four children, he likes the feeling of being a father, he works hard to make money to support his family and provide a good growth environment for his children.

He is a good father and his character and personality are pretty good. After becoming a ghost, he wanted to make a living by carrying sedan chairs, but he was too kind-hearted after all.

Zhou Ze slowly raised his head and opened his eyes, but the driver didn't notice and continued driving.

Slowly, Zhou Ze discovered that there was light coming in from outside, and through the window, he could see the hustle and bustle of traffic on the road.

The driver is about to disappear,

This should be a memory of the driver before his death.

It's similar to the principle that lightning plus special circumstances can probably record a scene.

Zhou Ze subconsciously lit a cigarette again. Since the driver had freed himself, it didn't matter even if he burned the car.

There was music playing in the car, a song that was quite popular recently, "Liang Liang";

The driver was humming while driving. He must have just received a big order and was in a good mood. He planned to go back and buy himself a plate of peanuts and talk to his children via video. Although life was hard, it was also a happy time.

Just then, Zhou Ze saw a minibus appear on the road in front of the car.

It should be the school bus, with the school emblem and the words "XXX Primary School" printed on it.

Zhou Ze didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly a girl stood up in the back seat of the car. She was facing the back of the car, and even if he was sitting in the back car, he could see her clearly through the car window.

The girl is wearing a blue lily dress, very cute.

Zhou Ze frowned slightly.

He knew this girl, he was the one who saved her. She was said to have woken up. A while ago, Dr. Lin told him that the girl's father wanted to hold a thank-you banquet and had intended to invite him.

Zhou Ze's eyes darkened slightly. So, this driver was the culprit of this car accident

So many children were injured.

Even if I hadn't taken action myself, some children would have died.

"What a pretty girl, just like my youngest child."

The driver was talking to himself. This was the last memory he had before his death, so he didn't know that there was someone sitting behind the car seat.

Zhou Ze looked around. He didn't think the driver was drunk or had any other problems. So, what caused the driver to hit the school bus? What caused the car accident

Was it a chain rear-end collision caused by nearby cars

At this time,

The girl in lesbian clothing, who was standing at the back of the school bus, suddenly opened her mouth and her tongue stuck out.

Yes,

Spit it out.

It was like the red carpet that the newlyweds walked on was spit out directly. It was very long... very long... so long that it made people's scalps numb.

at the same time,

The girl had a sarcastic smile in her eyes and stared at the driver in front of her.

"Oh my god, it's a ghost!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The driver panicked and stepped on the accelerator, and the car crashed directly into the school bus in front.

"boom!"

Sparks flew,

Zhou Ze stood at the door of the bookstore.

On the ground all around were the ashes of paper cars that had not yet burned out, drifting in the wind, rolling and falling, turning into final dots of light.

Zhou Ze had no injuries on his body, not at all.

And the driver kept his promise and took me to my destination.

But Zhou Ze did not rush back to the bookstore.

In his hand, he still held the cigarette, which was burning slowly.

Take a deep breath.

Zhou Ze licked his lips.

"Uncle, you can't smoke in the hospital." The girl's voice still echoed in my ears.

Own,

in the end,

What was saved
