Chapter 30 The young master's mourning hall at the gate of the community
If you want to ask how Zhang Wei and I feel now, I am really scared. I just sat down in a daze holding my schoolbag, wondering if the three of us had not gotten out of the car, would the three of us be paddling in the water now?
Zhang Wei also looked guilty. He didn't expect that Uncle Wu and I had fulfilled our predictions. Something happened to the bus!
He opened his mouth wide, and the dregs of dry noodles fell down, forgetting to swallow them. The half-eaten noodles in his hands were no longer fragrant. He remembered that he had thrown away a packaging bag just now, for fear that there would not be enough.
Same.
He also threw away the noodles, took out five dollars from his pocket, and threw them out without thinking.
Police cars, fire trucks, emergency vehicles and ambulances, and many official convoys appeared in front of them. It took a long time before the blocked cars began to move forward slowly, very slowly, and it was obvious that they were very cautious.
This speed made us look at the guardrail that had been smashed into a large gap and the small trees that were flattened along the way, as if in slow motion.
The rescue team members looked solemn and worked nervously and busily to rescue, but I already had a bad feeling in my heart. There was probably no hope for the strange people in the car.
It was only at this moment that I realized why I was so scared about that casual glance in the car...
That's right, those people not only looked ugly at that time, they were also wet, with water dripping all over their bodies. There was a rushing river below, and all the signs were answered...
I covered my head with my backpack and didn't dare to look anywhere, for fear of seeing something scary again.
Pray that the car will leave this land quickly and reach the destination quickly.
The journey originally only took more than four hours, but due to this accident, we were delayed until we arrived almost at night. After thanking the driver who dropped us off at a busy area, Uncle Wu was still standing on the roadside with his large makeup box on his back.
People and cars were passing by around us, and the lively scene relieved the cold air on our bodies. Zhang Wei, a big-hearted person, was already excited. After all, the city was full of lights and people with bright clothes, which could not be seen in our village.
"Sanman, this is the provincial capital where you went to school. It's so beautiful. Look at these lights. There are so many colors and everything."
Uncle Wu and I were fine, there wasn't much novelty. I'd been used to the environment here for three years, but Uncle Wu didn't care about the useless things around him. He was on the phone.
"Hey, we're here. We're at the intersection of *** Road. There are three of us. Yes, come and pick us up!"
The person on the phone must be someone from the victim's family. After the conversation, Uncle Wu hung up the phone and looked at me thoughtfully, "Sanman, this is quite far from the victim's house. Let's wait for a while, but there is
In a word...Uncle Wu wants to say it in advance..."
He hesitated to speak, as if something was wrong, so I could only listen quietly.
"I always feel that what happened on our way is not a good sign. When Sanman gets there, listen to Uncle Wu, let's go if I say so. Don't say anything about anything you see there, do you understand?"
I nodded, feeling depressed unconsciously. Maybe Uncle Wu was still thinking about the car accident during the day and was still unable to save those people in the car, which left an indelible trace in my heart.
Zhang Wei kept shouting that he was hungry. In fact, I was also very hungry. It was still the few buns that I had eaten in the morning that lasted until now. In the carriage, it was difficult for both of us to open our mouths, let alone eat something to comfort ourselves.
Uncle Wu saw a hamburger shop selling hamburgers and a small supermarket on the roadside, so he went straight in and bought a few bottles of water. He also brought three burgers and asked us to take a bite first, probably thinking that he would have something to eat when we got there.
Soon a high-end-looking business car parked in front of us. A man got out of the passenger seat and asked, "Are they Master Wu and his party?"
Uncle Wu hummed, and after the car door opened automatically, he got into the back seat. Zhang Wei and I followed suit and sat down wherever we wanted.
I have seen this kind of car, but this is the first time I have ridden in it. I know that this is what the common people call a nanny car. As for the price and the specific brand, I don’t know it. I just feel that the design everywhere is very...
Comfortable.
Zhang Wei was even more curious and groping around, and asked Uncle Wu to give him a slap in the face before he stopped.
No one in the car was talking to each other. The car was going very fast but no bumps were felt. It left the busy road and walked onto a very secluded road. It vaguely felt like it was still going uphill. Below it was a gentle hill with green surroundings.
Lush and lush vegetation.
Soon the car stopped in front of a huge antique gatehouse, "Master Wu, we're here."
The person who picked us up in front of us got off the car. Uncle Wu followed his custom and found the funeral shed first to say hello to the deceased.
There was no way, we were doing work that was inseparable from death, and most of the people who invited us were people who had family members bereaved, but what he saw in front of him made Uncle Wu stop, and it also made me feel nervous.
In front of you is a high-end villa area. This gatehouse should be the gate of the community. Inside, you can see villas lined with bright lights, and the mourning hall is placed outside the gate of the community. This is a bit puzzling.
Ordinarily, if there is something to do at home, the mourning hall is not only located in the courtyard, but also at the gate. Why is it placed outside?
The mourning hall should have been decorated with white silk, but this mourning hall is actually made of two colors of red and white intertwined cloth, with a big flower hanging in the middle. What hangs on both sides is not a white lantern with the word "Die", but a white paper with red words for "Happiness".
The sudden red color is like blood stained on white paper, making people's scalp numb when they see it.
"What are you..." Uncle Wu asked the person traveling with him, but the person did not answer.
He must have been warned, and he just made a gesture of invitation, "Master Wu, if you have any questions, please talk to our boss directly."
A group of people came out of this oversized mourning shed, ranging in age from old to young. What was different from those in the village was that although they had sad expressions on their faces, they did not wear filial robes and wore plain black and white clothes.
clothes.
Walking at the front was a well-dressed middle-aged couple. The man was wearing a suit. His eyes were red but not unkempt. The woman supporting him was well-dressed. Although she had no makeup, she wore a black suit with a decent pair of clothes.
Jewelry, at first glance, indicates that you belong to a wealthy family.
He still has the attire and arrogant aura of an unusually wealthy person.
Most of the people who came out from behind were also dressed in the same way. The men wore dark suits and the women wore dark formal suits with small high heels.
One of the young men was tall, and his suit made him look like a model walking down the catwalk on TV. His imposing manner inexplicably attracted the attention of the three of us.
Uncle Wu felt that this man had a good temperament and had an aura of power without anger.
Zhang Wei is just like a chicken watching an eagle, looking up with envy and hatred.
And I always felt that there was something strange about this man. When I first saw him, I saw a flash of black light around him, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing unusual about him.
As for the facial features, I’m sorry, I am prosopagnosic... There are very few faces that I can remember for the first time. I can only say that this person is not ugly.
