74 Fright Bus

I heard the sound of whistles in my sleep, from about five in the morning to about seven in the morning. The villagers living along the highway must not have the need to redeem the alarm. The sound of whistles in the morning is enough to make you toss and turn.

I opened my sleepy eyes and saw my wife's brother sleeping soundly. He was about to leave today. He looked much more at ease than me. I changed my sleeping position repeatedly, silently chanting the mantra to sleep for a while, but I couldn't fall asleep. I simply found my clothes in the dark and put on my clothes and sat on the kang. My wife's brother laughed and I realized that he was woken up by me.

"You woke up so early, it's still early! Go to bed!"

I dealt with my brother-in-law for a while and got off the kang. The temperature outside was still very low, enough to make people shivering. I jogged to the toilet and hurried to the house.

It was a little dawn, and my wife ran over to wash after she woke up. Then my father-in-law and his family woke up and started to pack up, and welcoming a little busy schedule.

My father-in-law told me that the last train had just left and I had to take the bus to the town. I felt a little disappointed. If we got up earlier like me, we could get on the bus at the door. My father-in-law's house was still several kilometers away from the town, and it would take about half an hour to walk. I was tortured by cervical spondylosis and didn't even want to walk a step, just for convenience.

When we packed our luggage, snowflakes began to float. I was already a little anxious about today's itinerary. If it was too late, the road would definitely be very slippery. But it would not be possible if we didn't leave today, and the unit would have to ask for a new leave.

My father-in-law and his family helped us carry our luggage to the cart. The careful father-in-law also wiped his labour cart and brought a bed sheet to cover the luggage so as not to be soaked by snowflakes. Seeing that his white-haired father-in-law was busy, he felt grateful and felt a little sorry for him.

When we set off, the snowflakes became bigger than when it was dawn, so we decided to go to the county today. I pulled the cart, my wife, father-in-law, and brother-in-law, and the other three followed behind the cart. We walked and chatted, and the snowflakes hit the eyelashes and instantly turned into water beads, and my eyes became blurred.

"Look at the car! There is still a bus there!" My wife said excitedly pointing at the bus in the distance.

My father-in-law meant to take us to the town, but we insisted on taking the bus. He parked on the side of the road and waited for the bus to get off. After a few minutes, the bus arrived in front of us, and my wife came forward to inquire about the news. My wife came over and said that the car was full and the driver was willing to take us to the town and then reverse other cars.

My father-in-law said that he would take us to the town, but he really didn't want his father-in-law to be frozen in the cold wind. We bid farewell to my father-in-law and got on the bus.

I stood in the lane of the bus and happened to meet a classmate whom I hadn't seen for several years. Both of them seemed quite excited. I didn't expect to meet a high school classmate in the car. I had some chats along the way until I got off the bus in town.

When we got off the bus in the town, the snow had already been heavy, and there was a thick layer of floating snow on the streets of the town. We got on another bus. Since my brother-in-law's girlfriend had not arrived yet, we waited for a while.

When my wife's girlfriend arrived, the car started. When the car walked to the bridge in the town, she saw a couple stopping the bus. They were here to take their daughter out. Through the glass of the car, I saw that the person who saw off was our high school math teacher and the others. According to reasoning, the person they were sending off should be my high school classmate. Yuanyuan sat in the first row after getting on the car. I took out my phone and sent her a message, saying hello.

The car was walking and the snow was falling. The villages on both sides had become a white scene.

The bigger the accelerator of the car, the more I worry. Because our road is a cement road, unlike an oil road, which slips when snow occurs.

The driver's phone ringing rang over and over again. He answered the phone with one hand and grabbed the steering wheel with the other, which seemed very busy. I quietly told my wife that the master did not take the lives of a car of people seriously. His wife said there was nothing he could do, and the drivers in his hometown were like this.

I sat behind the car and obviously felt the wheels slipping. But the driver seemed to be fine. He still answered the phone while turning the steering wheel. I began to disgust the driver's behavior. If the weather was better, it would be reasonable in theory. This life was at stake, and this master could be so unethical.

I told Yuanyuan about this on WeChat, and I joked that she would kick the driver down. Yuanyuan told me that life is in heaven and there is no need to worry too much. I instantly admired this female classmate. When it comes to life and death, I seemed to be more afraid of death. Since Yuanyuan said so, I calmed myself down and closed my eyes and pretended to go to bed.

The driver's phone seems to have never been hung up before and is always on the phone. It is not just that he is making calls. The most worrying thing is that he uses the most original way of calling, which is to answer the phone with his hands. My eyes are always staring at the steering wheel, and my heartbeat is leaping with my eyes.

A passenger sitting next to him also began to feel nervous. He scolded the driver at me, and I also scolded him a few times. But I didn't know how to stop this behavior. If I say something to stop it, the driver may have a fluctuation in his mood, which will affect our safety.

The car was walking a downhill road. Along the way, many broken cars appeared on both sides of the road, all of which were paralyzed in the tree ditch.

Bang!

The whole car began to panic, and the car had no brakes. No, the road was too slippery! The car swung left and right, and was about to hit the car in front, the driver had already left the phone, and his hands were busy turning on the steering wheel. The handbrake had already pulled up, but it seemed that it did not work.

I thought to myself, life should be like this, let's end it like this!

The car finally stopped, but it felt very artistic and happened to be stuck between the two cars. I got out with a few passengers and saw a string of cars blocking in front of me. Some of them had fallen into the ditch, and most of them were parked in a staggered manner. However, some cars were also moving forward.

I met Yuanyuan and we smiled at each other. As if we were secretly glad that we had survived for the time being, she said that her train was about to be late and now we had to find a way to leave. I told her to stop a car quickly, and she took the bag and went to the front.

I got in the car again and said to my wife that it doesn't matter, it will be fine in a while. In fact, I was still very nervous in my heart. I don't know what the road ahead is, and it is still unknown whether we can arrive safely.

We were lucky to arrive in the county town safely. But we saw many small videos of car accidents in our circle of friends, and saw the tragic scenes, as if we were thrown out of the car, and then we secretly prayed that they were safe and sound.

"I've arrived safely and get back together when I have time!"

When I saw the WeChat message sent by Yuanyuan, I felt a sense of escaping from death.

"Go again next time! I'm still in shock."
