Chapter 1: ACCIDENT

Views:

It's quite windy today, Gu Yan thought.

The sound of the wind whimpering raged along the window. I don't know if it was because I didn't sleep well or because the room was too cold. When I woke up, I felt that my head was not filled with brains, but the few catties of cement he went to the construction site to collect yesterday. The whole person was top-heavy, his limbs were weak and he felt faint pain while lying on the bed.

There was a buzzing sound in his ears, and it took Gu Yan a long time to recover.

Gu Cheng shivered more than once when he lifted the quilt, and the air-conditioning in the room penetrated along the collar of his clothes.

The soles of the feet and hands were cold for a while.

There wasn't much sunlight coming in from outside, and there was no one else except him who was panting in the dimly lit room. When going out, Gu Yan put on two coats, which together were not as thick as a down jacket.

The room was thirty square meters, except for an old bed which was a sofa he picked up just last month, plus a table and a simple wardrobe.

Almost empty and lifeless.

The toilet he was going to had to walk for about two minutes before he saw a public one, and Gu Yan stood up until his legs were numb.

My head seems to be hurting more, and I don't know why I still feel flustered.

After walking back into the room, he was no longer sleepy. He picked up the cigarette from the table and quickly lay back on the bed. After taking a few puffs, Gu Yan felt a little sore at the tip of his nose, and he sneezed a few times to feel better.

To live, one must first have a job. Yesterday was the last day at the construction site, and the contractor promised to pay him his salary at the beginning of next month.

But there are still more than 20 days before the beginning of the month.

Gu Yan sighed, sat up, took out a passbook from under the mattress, and looked through it lovingly.

I wanted to take a day off today, but the zero on the passbook was only after the decimal point. Gu Yan squinted his eyes and finished smoking, and held back when he was about to take one.

When Brother Wang called, Gu Yan was washing his face, water got into his eyes, Gu Yan didn't care to wipe it, squinted his eyes and fumbled for the phone: "Brother Wang."

"What the hell are you doing, taking so long to answer the phone?" Brother Wang's rough voice came from the phone.

Gu Yan wiped his face with his hand: "Wash your face."

"Come to work, hurry up, take a load of goods, and I can settle the money for you today!"

"Savior." Gu Yan smiled, and suddenly felt strength coming from his body: "Give me the address, I'll get stuck."

"I'll send you..." Brother Wang stopped halfway through speaking, "Come on, come to the wholesale market first, and wait for me at the entrance of the market. If you want me to change your broken mobile phone, turn it on for five minutes. Read the text message for ten minutes."

"I feel nostalgic." Gu Yan said.

"Wait for you, come quickly." Brother Wang hung up the phone neatly.

Going out is a small alley, Gu Yan shivered, he didn't know whether it was because he was wearing less clothes or the temperature suddenly dropped, anyway, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, turned around his neckline a few times, got into his clothes directly, The piece on the back was blowing quite loudly.

Wrapping his clothes tightly, Gu Yan avoided the black water coming out of the sewer, and went straight out without paying attention to the peculiar stench of the sewer in the air.

Old man Zhang who lived at the entrance of the alley was still walking his favorite bird, a parrot. Gu Yan rubbed the tip of his reddened nose with the back of his hand, and slapped the cage hard while old man Zhang was not paying attention.

The bird in the cage started to flutter, Gu Yan quacked happily.

Old man Zhang was furious, his eyes were wide open, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Gu Yan!"

"Morning." Gu Yan walked backwards and waved at old man Zhang.

"Have you been beaten?" Old man Zhang sullenly said, the big cloth that didn't fit him was clean.

Gu Yan pointed to his forehead, the bangs could still be vaguely seen red and swollen: "You mean this?... Knock, besides, who would dare to hit me except you?"

"Fart!" Old man Zhang said loudly, "I just touched your arm last time, and Fei yelled that I touched porcelain and scared my birds every day!"

Gu Yan quickly walked back with a smile on his face, rubbing old man Zhang's shoulders, "I'll buy a chicken tonight and have a drink or two?"

The old man Zhang had a smile on his face, and was about to agree, when he caught sight of the new shoes on Gu Yan's feet from the corner of his eye, he paused for a moment, then sullenly said, "Don't eat! My son will come to see me tonight."

"Alright, I'll come after your son is gone, old man, I'm off to earn some money!" Gu Yan laughed twice, and clapped his hands again at old man Zhang's birdcage.

"Get out!" Old Zhang shouted behind Gu Yan.

He took out his phone and was about to check the time, but found that the screen couldn't light up anyway. Gu Yan squatted on the curb with a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and pulled out the battery on the back and pressed it again. It took a minute for the power button to ring The bell rang a few times, and then the screen flickered to light up.

Gu Yan seemed to wipe the screen with his hands, but when he looked at the time, he realized that it was still early. He was staying at the entrance of a morning market, and the smell of rice from the early stall rushed into his nostrils. Gu Yan took it out of his pocket. A plastic bag, stuffed with steel coins and a few yuan in banknotes.

After counting out five yuan, Gu Yan dragged his numb legs into a bun shop, "Give me a bowl of soy milk and a meat bun."

"Five yuan and five." The aunt who was filling the soy milk didn't even lift her head.

"Where's the vegetarian bun?" Gu Cheng asked.

The aunt raised her head upon hearing the sound, looked at Gu Yan in front of her and frowned, "Five yuan."

"Then give me a bowl of soy milk and a vegetarian bun." Gu Yan put the change in front of the aunt.

Gu Yan felt that he was quite full. Anyway, when he finally left, there was no bean dregs left in his bowl of soy milk. In the middle, he asked the aunt to refill the water twice. The last time the aunt pretended not to hear, and Gu Yan didn't insist. , Put the bowl on the table and go out.

With the warmth in his belly, Gu Yan was bouncing towards the bus stop. The place he was going to today was a bit far away, and walking would really waste time. Anyway, I saved fifty cents just now, and it would not cost me a dollar to take the bus. deficit.

When the car came, Gu Yan squeezed in the front, and put two fifty-cent coins into the hands of the conductor, "One person."

"One dollar and five," said the conductor.

Gu Yan froze for a moment, looked up at the small sign in front of the conductor and asked, "Has the price increased?"

"It's already gone up." The conductor said impatiently, "There are still people behind."

Gu Yan took out the plastic bag from his pocket again, counted five dimes and put them on the table in front of the conductor, and walked to the back of the carriage without looking back.

He vaguely heard the conductor whisper 'I'm sick', but Gu Yan ignored it and found a seat by the window to sit down.

He has heard this kind of words so many times that he is used to it.

The car bumped all the way, Gu Yan leaned his head against the window, his thoughts went back to the past.

How long has it been, Gu Yan thought he forgot.

"Mom..." A boy behind him suddenly popped up from the back seat, pointed at Gu Yanting and said loudly, "This brother is crying."

The child's voice was extremely loud in the empty and silent carriage, Gu Yan frowned, but he didn't want to be familiar with the child.

"You, you have to study hard and earn a lot of money in the future. Don't be a punk with tattered clothes...that's why you cry..."

The woman's voice was submerged in Gu Yan's consciousness, and Gu Yan only felt that his heart was blown by the cold wind outside, and it stopped beating.

Gu Yan often came to the wholesale market that Brother Wang mentioned. When he got off the bus, he saw Brother Wang's stout body from a distance. He was wearing a black down jacket and a woolen cap, stomping and cursing.

Seeing Gu Yan coming, Brother Wang threw the cigarettes in his hand on the ground, stuffed a few big buns he had bought into Gu Yan, and said loudly: "Have you eaten? You're lucky today, Boss Zhao came out with an extra cart The goods are all vegetables, don’t worry, but you are in a hurry, and you can’t find a driver temporarily, so you can send them to the neighboring city, and there will be someone there to pick you up... You must cheer up, don’t give me halfway The situation, there is no driver with you."

"Thank you, Brother Wang." Gu Yan just smiled, and followed Brother Wang into the innermost part of the wholesale market.

"I'm going to talk about it, I will give you an extra 100 salary, and I will also provide food, go..." Brother Wang watched Gu Yan get into the car, hesitant to speak, and took out the bag from the purse he was carrying. A small bottle of drink: "Drink some, stay safe."

"Let's go." Gu Yan closed the truck door with a bang, lit the fire, and watched Brother Wang's chubby body getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror. The smile that still existed in his eyes just now slowly faded away. An imperceptible loneliness.

It takes a day to drive to the neighboring city. Brother Wang also explained that before returning tomorrow, he will pull a batch of goods from the neighboring city. After all, the car will not be empty, otherwise the profit will be lost.

Gu Yan drove smoothly all the way, casually glanced at the rearview mirror, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The Land Rover behind him had been following him for more than half an hour.

Compared with the smooth lanes of the car behind him, there was not a slight difference between the big and heavy broken truck he was driving.

Gu Yan withdrew his gaze, a smile appeared in his heart.

I am afraid that there will be no intersection with that kind of stable life.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Yan looked at the green light in front of him from the corner of his eye, and suddenly a small car came in from the side road. The brakes of trucks are generally very effective, only the harsh sound of brakes passing by, and there was a muffled 'bang' sound from the rear of Gu Yan's car, and then the car shivered twice and turned off.

The car that was plugged in sped away, Gu Yan choked on 'damn', and turned the steering wheel just now, now Gu Yan's car is not in a straight line, and he can just see the Land Rover behind him through the rearview mirror the front of the car.

I saw that the bumper of the front of the car had been dented.

Fuck

Gu Yan's scalp was numb, and his hands and feet made a decision almost at the same time. By the time he realized it, the car was already on the road without stopping.

Jian Jie stared at the front of her own car, and picked up the small bundle of cabbage that fell from the compartment of the pickup truck just now, feeling a little dazed.

This cabbage is so powerful that it can smash the bumper on him.

In the distance, there were already traffic policemen driving past, Jian Jie sneezed, took out the ringing mobile phone from his pocket, and picked it up: "Huh?"

What was said there, Jian Jie's face remained unchanged, and he said leisurely: "There was a car accident."

"No, the car was in a car accident, and everyone is fine."

"Wedding dress? Well, you set a time and try it on together."

"WeChat group?"

Jian Jie held the mobile phone slightly harder, took a breath without noticing it, and said, "Whatever you want, I have no contact with anyone in high school."
