Master Liu's home is in Tosazi village. He drives from the county seat to the village and back every day. He starts at seven in the morning, arrives at the county seat at ten and comes back at twelve.
On the way back, I will pass by a stall gathering place. Because it takes 10 yuan to buy tickets at the station, many people choose to wait here at the stall that Master Liu must pass through in order to save money. Master Liu sees that it is not easy for everyone to make money. Most of them are fellow villagers. They have never complained and will stop there forever.
Because the bus passes through many places along the way, Master Liu starts from the station at twelve o'clock every day, arrives at the stall at five after twelve o'clock, stays for ten minutes, and starts at twelve fifteen on time.
But today, Master Liu has been waiting here for almost half past twelve.
Because a few minutes ago, my cousin called him and said that he would come back from Beijing and take his car home from the county seat. Considering that only this car can go back to the village today, and it is not the peak period of students' holiday, there are very few people by car, so Master Liu decided to wait a little longer.
Before my cousin arrived, Liu Jun from the same village came first.
"Oh, Liu Ge, I thought you were all gone! I still think that if I can't catch the bus, I will stroll to the hotel to stay! " Liu Jun was wearing a military coat, a cotton cap and thick fingers. Even if he was red with cold, he grabbed a cigarette and sent it to his mouth.
"You are very lucky today. No one is in the sixth grade. My sister came back today to wait for her, otherwise she would have gone out a long time ago. "
Liu Jun listened to Master Liu and grinned twice. He took out twenty yuan from his coat pocket and handed it to Master Liu.
"What did you do today?" Master Liu took the money, stuffed it into his waist bag, chatted with Liu Jun and looked at his cousin in the distance.
"Hey, nothing, come and see a doctor!" Liu Jun sat in the co-pilot position.
"Is this a new mobile phone?" Master Liu noticed that Liu Jun's brand-new mobile phone didn't even tear off the membrane of its shell.
"Well, the phone needs to be changed. I bought one by the way today! " Liu Jun said, and handed the mobile phone to Master Liu, meaning that he wanted to show it, but Master Liu gave it a hand.
At the end of the conversation, Master Liu was bored and rubbed the steering wheel in front. From the mirror in the car, he saw a man sitting in the back. The person sitting in the car is not strange, but this person is not familiar with Master Liu.
Who will visit relatives on the sixth day?
There is a custom in Master Liu's house that he should try not to go out on the sixth day, so that he will have a good year.
At the moment, my cousin got on the bus in fashionable clothes. Master Liu hurried over and helped her put the suitcase away. The bus leaves on time at 12: 35.
Dr. Zhang is an old Chinese doctor who is nearly sixty years old. He retired from a private hospital a few years ago and opened his own clinic. Free working hours, mainly good at the treatment of hepatobiliary and renal diseases.
From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the 5th day of the first month, we have been closed for rest.
Today is the sixth day, one year has passed, and Dr. Zhang has a clinic. A young man arrived before nine o'clock in the morning. He looks simple and honest in a military coat and cotton hat.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the visitor, Dr. Zhang took the initiative to sit at the table in the consulting room.
"I have some kidney diseases, and my back hurts badly during the New Year. Do you think you can prescribe Chinese medicine to help me recuperate? " The young man rolled up his clothes, revealing a shiny lower back.
Dr. Zhang got up from his seat and walked around the table to the young man. He pressed his hand against the man's waist. It's a little swollen. It looks like a symptom of nephritis.
"Then come for a week of Chinese medicine conditioning!"
"good!" The man readily agreed.
Dr. Zhang's clinic can process the soup into pills, and take them directly without boiling them in a pot. The man felt very convenient and agreed to the clinic to handle his medicine.
The man took the medicine and paid the money. Dr. Zhang thought he was leaving and was about to say hello.
"Doctor, I may not be able to go home today. Can I take a medicine with you first? " The man grinned, scratched his head and whispered.
"Oh, yes!" Dr. zhang paused for a moment, then agreed. This kind of thing is very common. If the patient comes from the countryside and can't go home that day, or is in an emergency, drink a medicine here.
Men's medicine is used to treat liver and kidney, and wine is needed to lead the way. Dr. Zhang also kindly poured him a small glass of white wine and put it on the counter.
"Doctor, I can't drink ... I drank it once before, and my head felt bad for several days!"
"You are a drug, and wine is also a drug. Don't drink too much, just drink a little. Don't worry, this wine has a lot of stamina. You won't feel anything just after drinking it. Just find a place to lie down and sleep for a while in a few hours. " Dr. Zhang patiently explained.
The man didn't refute again, picked up the medicine and gulped it down, with a painful expression.
Dr. Zhang looked at him with a smile, thinking that it would be absolutely no big problem to drink once.
Liu Laohan is almost seventy this year, and his son was born at the age of forty. According to their age, he is an old man.
My son is almost thirty this year. Because his family is spoiled, he didn't learn anything at school and stayed at home until he finished learning. Liu Laohan was almost sixty at that time, and he still felt capable, and he had no problem with his son dropping out of school at home.
But I didn't know that my son stayed for more than ten years. I haven't even been out looking for a job during this period. I didn't even go out. In recent years, I went out on business with Liu Laohan and went to the county town several times. Seeing the good inside, I am willing to go to the county town once in a while and buy something to eat and wear.
"How can you walk lightly recently? What's the matter with you! " Liu Laohan saw that something was wrong with his son recently, for fear that something was wrong with him.
"Nothing, I just have a little pain in my waist." My son sat on the kang wrapped in a coat and watched him take off his shoes and get into bed.
"Don't lie down, get up and exercise. I think there's something wrong with you recently. If you feel uncomfortable, you are catching up with the sixth day of school tomorrow, you can go to the clinic in the county! " Liu Laohan grabbed his son's shoulder and said with concern.
"I'm too cold to go out all winter. Which county shall I go to on the sixth day? " The son sat by the bed, his arm was held by Liu Laohan, and he said impatiently.
"You don't want to change your mobile phone? You go and see tomorrow, I'll give you money, you buy a new mobile phone! " Liu Laohan said helplessly.
"Really, Dad, ok, ok!"
Liu Laohan shook his head helplessly, thinking that it would be worthwhile to go out once this year even if he spent some money.
New Year's Day is reserved for ordinary people. Many people can't celebrate the New Year because they have to support their families. In addition to busy work, there are many people in dark corners, such as thieves.
But on the sixth day of today, due to the custom, everyone chose to avoid going out on this day, so the big stations in the county were closed, leaving only one small station leading to the villages open.
Thieves have been wandering outside all morning, with nothing to gain.
I want to try my luck at the small station.
When he strolled to the station, he saw people wearing military coats and cotton hats. This man has nothing to attract thieves. What attracted him was the smart phone that his thick fingers kept fiddling with even if they were red with cold.
This mobile phone is new, and the protective film of the shell has not been torn off. Seeing the man fondle admiringly, the thief guessed that it was a new one. If he can get this mobile phone today and resell it, it will be enough for him to eat and wear for a week.
After making up his mind, the thief followed the man all the way to a bus leading to Tudeng Village. The thief was overjoyed. The bus to this village passes through his hometown, so he can follow the people on the bus and start working again.
There is plenty of time.
The thief and the man got on the bus together, watched him and the driver exchange a few pleasantries, and sat in the co-pilot position. I heard that he was going to sit at the terminal, and the thief chose the best position to sit behind him.
The car started and a gust of wind blew in through the window. The thief smelled a strong smell of wine on the man, and the thief didn't drink. He frowned subconsciously and felt a little disgusted with the man in front of him.
The bus started, getting closer and closer to the thief's hometown. He has to hurry, or he can't get the mobile phone. He looked at the man with the reflection of the front glass and found that he seemed a little confused. He took advantage of the shaking of the car and put the mobile phone in the right pocket of his coat into his bag. Seeing that the man was still sleeping, he got up and told the driver to stop. In front of him was his hometown.
After the car went far, the thief took out his mobile phone. I didn't expect to come to a small station occasionally today, but I got such a big harvest.
He looked at his mobile phone, jumped twice as excited as winning the lottery, wrapped it in a big pocket and turned back to the village not far ahead.
The outside of the car is all white. Master Liu knows that it will snow today. Usually people pass by the roadside not far from the village, but today, because of the custom, it is empty, like taking the highway at night.
When Master Liu's car was about to enter the village, Liu Jun, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly stood up unsteadily.
"Stop, stop, my phone is gone, I want to get off ..."
Master Liu heard that Liu Junli had some Lickitung. "Why are you drunk? What cell phone? Sit still and go home quickly! "
"Stop the car, my mobile phone, the newly bought mobile phone is gone!"
"If not, you can't find it when you get off. Where can I find it? "
"Stop the car, I'm going down!" Liu Jun's eyes turned red, and he even picked up a stick and stood in front of the car. This stick is usually used by Master Liu to make curtains in front of the bus, but I didn't expect it to point to my nose now.
"All right, stop!"
Master Liu had to stop and his mood stabilized.
"If you have something to call, it's quite far from home!" Master Liu shouted at him, completely forgetting that he had lost his mobile phone.
Liu Jun ignored him and got out of the car trembling.
Master Liu saw his background, shook his head helplessly and drove away.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the last day of the Lunar New Year in the eyes of the villagers in Tuzuozi village, and the sixth day is the first day of losing protection, so they try to avoid going out on the sixth day.
On the sixth morning, it began to snow, and everyone felt very lucky. It was a good year, and it snowed on the day when everyone could not go out. Isn't it providence?
"Go and see, there is a dead man on the path, like Liu Jun, the son of Liu Laohan's family!" Zhang Sansao gets up early every day and goes for a walk on the hillside. This sound is also the first sound she made.
Even if you don't see the truth, it's explosive news. Word of mouth, soon someone action. Within an hour, the villagers in Rabbit Village were surrounded by Liu Jun's body.
The first one who can't accept it is Liu Laohan. When he heard the news, he took it away without looking at the body. The villagers called an ambulance and sent it directly to the hospital.
"You said Liu Jun never went out, how could he die here? I always thought he would die at home! " Sister-in-law Zhang stood ten meters away from the body and whispered to sister-in-law Liu next to her.
"I don't know!"
Master Liu stood beside them and looked at Liu Jun's body without saying a word. He recalled that Liu Jun might not have got on the bus yesterday, and he could have stopped him from getting off the bus halfway. If he can stop him, will he die ...
After the police arrived, they quickly evacuated the crowd, leaving only a few people to ask questions, and Zhang Sansao was one of them.
"Do you know this man?"
"Know, know, Liu Laohan's son!"
"Do you know where he likes to go?"
"I don't know about another child. I know he hardly goes out. He plays mobile phone and games at home every day. Once I went to his house to borrow something at one o'clock in the afternoon, and he was still lying under the covers ... "
"Does he usually drink?"
"I don't know this. Usually there are running seats in the village, and he doesn't go! However, his father can drink a lot, and he can probably drink some. "
"Why is he so close to home that you find out so late that you don't go out every afternoon?"
"Yesterday was not the sixth day. It snowed and everyone stayed at home. Maybe it's a coincidence. I didn't see it. By the way, comrade police, how did this Liu Jun die? " Zhang Sansao lowered her voice and asked the gossip.
"We still need to investigate this, thank you for your cooperation."
From the vast land in front of us, we can see that it snowed a lot last night.
The edge of National Highway 505 is full of villagers in Tuzi Village, only 500 meters away from this bustling national highway.
Some villagers hold their noses and look disgusted, but their eyes still inadvertently glance at the "target" on the side of the road, while others stand in the innermost position with their children in their arms. The expressions on their faces are so complicated that they can't tell whether they are gloating or feeling sad.
After the police arrived at the scene, they quickly evacuated the crowd. I saw Ben lying in the center, surrounded by people, wearing a half-new and not-old military coat, but his clothes had been lifted, and his stiff hands were still holding the sides of the clothes. There were conspicuous goose bumps on his exposed skin, and his facial expression was stiff, staring at the sky with resentment.
Strangely, there is not much snow on him, but there is thick snow around him. There was no sign of anyone walking except the footprints of onlookers.
Officer Zhang looked at the body in front of him and quickly called the forensic doctor to take it back for inspection.
The examination results show that there are no scars on the body, which can be confirmed that it was frozen to death in the snow.
"But he is so far away from home, why not walk back?"
"He was drunk, alcohol content slightly exceeded the standard. It seems that he can't drink. "
"So he was an accident?"
"Either murder or ordinary drunkards freeze to death in the snow!"
"Another one like this. How many cases have I encountered this winter? I thought there would be some fresh cases! "
Officer Zhang watched the complaining colleague go away, touched his chin, looked at the closing record in front of him, and signed his name at the end with a stroke of his hand.
? Liu Jun is an otaku. Since dropping out of junior high school, she has been staying at home and being raised by her parents. Usually, she can't go out like a big girl.
I got sick during the Spring Festival recently, and my back began to ache inexplicably, but I felt nothing serious and didn't want to go to the hospital. Even if his father Liu Laohan saw the clue and tried to persuade him, he wouldn't go.
In the past, he had some problems with his waist and kidneys, but he was able to get through it. At first he took medicine, but later he was too lazy to buy any more. He thinks it's okay.
It was not until Liu Laohan seduced him by buying a new mobile phone that he changed his mind and decided to go to the city. He spends more time playing mobile phone than sleeping every day, which is exactly what he needs.
Liu Jun is a poor drinker. He drank it once before and passed out. He almost got into the habit of drinking, and never drank a drop of wine again. But when he went to the city to see his waist, the old Chinese doctor gave him a glass of wine to induce him to take medicine. At first, Liu Jun was a little reluctant. Later, the old Chinese doctor explained that he would not get drunk after drinking, and asked him to find a place to rest in a few hours.
Liu Jun thinks that even if he can't go home in a few hours, he can go back to the hotel. He is a man. It was inappropriate for people to give wine without hesitation, so he drank it without hesitation.
Liu Laohan entrusted him at home, and the car departed from the county seat at twelve o'clock sharp, asking him to come back as soon as possible. There are many people buying mobile phones in Liu Jun, and it's almost twelve o'clock when he chooses to buy them.
So in order to catch the bus, I had to take a taxi to the stall. It was already 12 15, but Liu Jun was surprised to find that Master Liu's bus in the same village was still parked there.
He got on the bus in surprise, only to know that Master Liu had extended the departure time in order to pull his cousin.
Although it costs a lot of money to take a taxi, Liu Jun is very happy and always feels that he is very lucky today.
The car drove for almost half an hour before leaving. After staggeringly drinking, Liu Jun fell asleep in the car. Later, he suddenly woke up with a sudden shake. He immediately reached out and touched his cotton-padded pocket, and then his heart sank.
Sure enough, I lost my new mobile phone.
Liu Jun was anxious to get off. He didn't know what he was thinking, or he was drunk. When he saw that there were only two people in the car, he decided that the person who got off must have stolen his mobile phone.
Master Liu's obstruction was not taken to heart. His mind is full of his new mobile phone.
On the sixth day of Lunar New Year's Eve, there were snowflakes in the sky and the temperature was below zero. Not far from the village, not far from the village. After getting off the bus, Liu Jun began to feel cold and stuffy, and his mobile phone was lost. There is no way to send someone to pick it up. He could only walk back subconsciously, only to find that his pace was unstable because of the glass of wine in the clinic. He endured the heartache of losing his mobile phone while enduring it.
Liu Jun doesn't know how far he has gone. He seems to feel less cold, his eyes are blurred by alcohol, and he seems to see a village not far away. His father stood at the entrance of the village and called himself home. ...
He tried to run fast, only to find that his legs were failing, he pushed too hard and stumbled in the snow.
He consciously supported his body with his men, but he still fell in the snow pit.
At this time, the snow is not as cold as it should be. On the contrary, it is like a fiery pit of fire, burning his skin and body. He didn't have the strength to stand up and avoid the fire pit, so he had to pull open his clothes with his hands.
Gradually, he felt a little cold, but the heat came at him in an instant. The snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and it fell into his eyes and body like hot Mars until he was completely swallowed up. ...
