"So you were so fierce last time, and you insisted on threatening to stop the car with your aunt's life, was it just acting?"
After listening to the little brother's explanation, Li Shiqing suddenly realized.
"Are you trying to find out what is the weakness that can impress them?!"
"It's not all acting."
The little brother smiled shyly, "I was really mad at first, and I thought it would be good to vent it like this, but I came back to my senses immediately, and felt that it was stupid to threaten two people who were about to commit suicide with 'life safety'..."
"Probably the same as you before, a sudden inspiration flashed, and this idea appeared in my mind."
He mentioned the last cycle, not planning to say too much, "Anyway, I think there is still hope for this, let's do it again."
"good!"
Li Shiqing gave him a thumbs up.
After the text message is sent, the rest is the specific implementation.
After so many cycles, the tacit understanding between the two has been cultivated to the point where they can communicate with each other only by looking at each other. Some details do not need to be planned in advance. Only the point of "persuading" the driver is a little bit more.
"It's still the same as before, the auntie will leave it to me, and the driver will leave it to you."
He lowered his voice and whispered in Li Shiqing's ear, "Maybe you haven't realized that the driver treats you differently from other passengers."
"...different to me?"
Li Shiqing was stunned.
"Remember that time I tried to persuade the driver to pay attention to the motorcycle on the right? When I talked to the driver, the driver ignored me at all, but you persuaded him and he listened."
The little brother recalled some details of the past, "When there was turmoil in the car, if someone called for help or yelled, he would at most ask what was going on, and only when you yelled, he would keep turning his head; only your questions, he was patient answer."
"And, most importantly, he hesitates to get you out of the car."
The little brother looked at his companion and said softly.
"Like you said, he let you off the bus... not only did he do it when you insisted on getting off, but he also offered to let you off at the next stop."
"... Li Shiqing, maybe he doesn't want you to die."
Hearing her own words, her eyes were a little dazed, a little unbelievable, and even more sad.
After so many cruel tortures of reincarnation, Li Shiqing's eyes still showed innocent surprise.
Xiao Heyun didn't want to make her sad.
No matter in the past or now, he feels that Li Shiqing's "softness" is very precious.
"Didn't the police say that? Uncle's daughter was studying at W University. She is in the same school as you, and she often takes the same route. His sympathy for you may be because you are somewhat similar to his daughter." Maybe it's simply because you are familiar with him, people will be more likely to soften their hearts when facing acquaintances... "
The little brother sighed, "Anyway, it may not be a coincidence that you will enter the cycle."
"In the dark, there is something that may be unique to you, so God will give you this 'luck'."
After going through so many hardships, even Xiao Heyun felt that his heart had hardened after going through so many incidents. In the past, he would never be able to put a knife on someone's neck no matter what, even if that person was a criminal.
But now, he felt that if necessary, he could even kill that aunt without hesitation.
But Li Shiqing is different, maybe men and women have different genders, and have different ideas. At this time, Li Shiqing still maintains her own bottom line and is unwilling to "go all out".
Even if such a thing happened, she still hoped that the police would "trial" these two people.
The "gamble" this time is not so much a bet that they can hit the driver's inner weakness, but a way for him to love his companions.
Maybe every woman hopes that the ending of the story can be perfect without regrets, and everyone is happy, so he also wants to give it a try.
"So, come and try..."
The little brother patted her hand.
Since you started it...
"Come and try, end this tragedy."
It's up to you, too.
"""
Wang Xingde has been driving this road for a full 30 months, and he is so familiar with it that even with his eyes closed, he can clearly visualize the road ahead in his mind.
He used to be a truck driver, and driving has become an instinct deep in muscle memory.
He spent most of his life on the road. Sometimes, he even felt that he couldn't do anything well except driving, and he even fell into middle-aged anxiety because of this.
Ironically, it is precisely because of his only "confidence" that he easily eliminated those who were not as good as him in driving, and was successfully admitted by the bus company.
When he was first admitted, he was angry.
He didn't go incognito for "revenge."
The name "Wang Xingde" should be quickly linked to the accident that happened to his daughter half a year ago. When seeing this name, at least some people will have some doubts about it.
During those nights of tossing and turning because of remorse, he imagined again and again how he would "strike back" when faced with "doubts". He even thought about every sentence of accusation against his daughter's death, waiting for the "revenge action" to be exposed Moment.
Wang Xingde couldn't wait to see the faces of these people from aloof to panicked.
However, no one discovered that he was the father of "Wang Mengmeng" until he had completed all the pre-job training and obtained the qualification certificate to drive a bus.
The name "Wang Mengmeng" is like the mermaid princess in the story who became the foam that disappeared on the sea surface, and disappeared from everyone's memory as the sun pierced through the mist the next morning.
No one even remembered the name of "Wang Mengmeng", let alone "Wang Xingde" who only appeared on the accident certificate.
Yes, at first, he didn't think his wife's "revenge" would succeed at all, and even thought this "plan" was nonsense.
In his imagination, he didn't need to show any other flaws, as long as the high-level person in charge of recruiting him saw his name, his wife's various plans would be "aborted".
He would promise his wife to come to W City and accompany her to do this and that, all because her mental state was too bad at that time, and he even found her trying to walk on the road to seek death several times, so he simply quit his job, Every day with his wife.
He has no skills and just wants to make her happy, even if it is not "normal" in the eyes of others.
He had already lost his daughter and did not want to lose his wife again.
When he first took over this route, his old master drove him to familiarize him with the route, told him where the road conditions were not good, and how much time it would take between each stop, because this route caused her daughter to die. He often loses his mind on the "Road to Huangquan", and the old master doesn't care about it.
Finally, once, when the car was driving at the place where his daughter died, he couldn't help raising his inner doubts.
"Has there been an accident on this road, because a girl died because she got off the bus early? Should I pay attention to the traffic on this bridge in the future?"
"Ah, maybe there is."
The old master who brought him answered so lightly, "Which road has no accident, and which road has no death? Who can care so much, just don't let yourself have an accident, and the passengers in the car don't care about accidents on the road. Whatever happens, they only care about whether they can arrive on time, which is the most important thing."
[Who can care so much.]
That was the final conclusion to her daughter's short life.
He travels around all the year round, but that's for survival, which doesn't mean he doesn't love his daughter.
For more than ten years, every time he ran a long distance, no matter how far the distance was or how tight the time was, he was like the father in a girl's fairy tale book, asking her what kind of gift she wanted before leaving and bringing it back for her.
Although the residence is humble, it is the most beautiful place in the world because of the company of family.
Although getting out of the car is boring, but because there are family members waiting, every journey home is full of joy.
His daughter is cute and well-behaved. She can talk about the piano and dance. When she smiles, her eyes are bent like the moon in the treetops. Whenever he thinks of her smile, he can soothe all his fatigue.
He has been driving for more than ten years without any major accidents, because he always remembers that there are people at home who are looking forward to his safe return, and others have people at home who are looking forward to his safe return.
But the words of the "teacher" shocked him that not everyone would care about all of this.
"All men are sinners."
It wasn't until that moment that he began to feel that his wife was right.
His anger was like a mountain fire that was suddenly ignited, burning everything like that. His reason, his fluke, his hesitation, and his love and family are all understatement layer after layer...
Burned out.
In these 30 months, in the boring work day after day, he has successfully become the "master" on this route. He has completely controlled this route and this car, allowing him to It changes with its own will.
He adjusted the monitoring system on the car every three days and locked the emergency switch on the door. He never took the initiative to report for repairs. Other colleagues are also accustomed to the "ups and downs" of this car. No one would have expected this company. Excellent employees who are rated as "models" every year will do this kind of behavior.
As if even God supported them in their "revenge", the process on the wife's side was also very smooth. With the identity of the quality inspector of the chemical plant, the "unqualified" raw materials were moved like ants, bit by bit. into her hands.
Like two spiders dormant in the dark, they weave this big web called "Revenge" one by one.
Today is the day to close the net.
Everything went very smoothly, the only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that a girl he knew got into the car.
He didn't expect her to get in the car.
At this time of year, most of the students had gone home on vacation. She shouldn't have stayed in W City, she shouldn't have stayed in school, and she shouldn't have traveled during this non-weekend period.
It was a girl who looked like a crescent moon when she smiled, and she was as innocent and cute as his daughter. She even went to the same school and studied the same subjects. He couldn't help but think of his daughter.
Every time, as long as there was an empty seat behind him when she got on the bus, she would definitely sit in that seat, chat with him a few words, and ask him about his recent situation.
Because of her, he had thought more than once that if his daughter had come to W City to go to school, instead of continuing to drive a big truck, he would have chosen to quit his job to accompany her to this city and be a pick-up and drop-off driver on her way to school. The bus driver would not have died without her daughter.
Could her daughter be like this girl, sitting behind him, chatting about what she had seen and heard all day, begging him coquettishly to go shopping together after get off work.
He is not very timid, drive carefully, and will never let anyone have an accident.
Every time he fell into imagination, remorse and longing made his heart feel like a knife. He hated this world, and hated that cowardly and pathetic self even more.
It's a pity that there is no arrow to turn back after opening the bow. Although that girl is good, she is not my daughter after all.
"sorry… "
Seeing the bridge gradually appearing in front of him, Wang Xingde's eyes were gradually wetted by something.
Their family is finally reunited.
The author has something to say: This chapter was very difficult to write because of empathy, but after thinking twice, I wrote it from the perspective of the driver.
I don't think the driver's actions are right, and I am not going to explain anything to the driver and his wife, including the reliable or unreliable choices of the two young people. I just want to simply tell a story. This story has cause and effect, a beginning and an end. The right and wrong in the story, right and wrong, let the readers think independently.
This story has come to an end. Originally, I only wanted to write this one story, but when I was writing this book, another inspiration popped up, so there will be a special story based on this worldview. The two stories together make up this book , the tone of that book is more cheerful (cover face), I hope I don't feel so uncomfortable when I write it, haha.
