Li Ruhua came to this city, called Jiangdong City. There is a market of several thousand square meters in the west of the city. It is a huge rectangle with houses on all four sides. There are buildings with more than three floors on the northeast sides. The first floor is a shop front, and the second and third floors are also used as shopping malls. But most of them are residential. This building complex faces the bustling city, adding to the connotation and depth of the city. The southwestern perimeter is surrounded by foothills and rivers, and is blocked by the buildings on the northeastern side. It seems to block the background of the countryside and the countryside, adding a crowded feeling to those who walk into the city. Most of the bungalows here are uniform, some are used as warehouses, some are used for processing workshops, and of course others are used for business.
Li Ruhua was brave and asked a strange aunt before she found the market. The market has three entrances, namely there are gates on the left and in the middle in the east, and there is a gate in the north. Some facades in the middle are not sealed and also lead directly to the market.
After all, Li Ruhua was not familiar with it. According to the instructions of the strange aunt, he entered from the east left gate and walked straight for a few meters. When he turned left, he saw a row of fresh meat stalls.
Li Ruhua came to the fourth stall and recognized the butcher Wu Yi. He was chopping meat for customers with a shiny face. Li Ruhua searched around but couldn't find his father, so he shouted to Wu Yi: "Uncle Wu, I heard that my father is here, why don't you see him?"
Wu Yi didn't know Li Ruhua yet, so he looked at her intently: Who are you? Who is your father?
Li Gui is my father.
well! You little brat, what are you doing? Your father goes outside to haul meat to sell. It will take several hours before he comes. As Wu Yi talked, he cut the meat, weighed it, served it with meat, and then settled the account and collected the money, but he had no time to look elsewhere.
Li Ruhua retreated to the outside of the meat stall and wandered around, staring at the meat stall from time to time, hoping that her father, who sold the meat, would show up earlier, but after more than two hours, he still didn't show up. She couldn't bear the wait and felt hungry. She wanted to ask Wu Yi again, but felt it was unnecessary. Then I walked out of the market and went in and out of the shops on the street. After about half an hour, I returned to the market and saw that many of the businessmen in the shop were eating with their bowls in hand. She figured that her father might have returned to Wu Yi's stall, so she walked there. When she approached Wu Yi, she didn't see her father. When she was about to ask Wu Yi, she was suddenly picked up by someone and heard a familiar voice: Ru Hua, what are you doing? Are you here?
Then a familiar face, dark and tired, stared at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes and asked: Child, when did you come? This person is his father Li Gui.
Li Gui made two deliveries in the morning. At this moment, Wu Yi asked him to get two lunch boxes to eat one each. When she saw the child Ru Hua, she was both happy and surprised.
Ru Hua looked at him and said: Dad, I came to you because I want to study. Other people’s children are carrying schoolbags to school! I walked around the street in the morning and saw so many flower schoolbags. I wanted to buy them. Dad, I will take you there. Can you buy one from me?
Dad will take you to the street for dinner first. Li Gui said this with some helplessness. He had no money. He spent all the money he earned from hunting birds and selling bird meat for barbecue with his father. That was because both children contracted bird flu, and his son Li Xiongbing lost his life. , he was very sad. Although his daughter Li Ruhua was rescued, he now had no money to study, and he was also very anxious. When he walked to a restaurant, he said to Ru Hua: Son, if I make some money, I will definitely give it to you to study, and I will also buy you the most beautiful flower bag. If you don’t have money to buy a flowery schoolbag today, don’t argue. Ru Hua pursed her lips and said nothing.
The father and daughter finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant. Li Gui suddenly turned around again and asked the hotel to get him a lunch box to take away. Ru Hua followed behind like a tail. She saw her father coming to the meat stall in the market and handing the lunch box to Wu Yi. Wu Yi looked unhappy. , why did you bring the food just at this time?
Li Gui smiled and said: My child Ru Hua is here and took her to a restaurant for a meal.
Wu Yi understood it as soon as he heard it and said dissatisfiedly: Your personal matters are more important.
Li Gui pointed at Ru Hua and said: The child came to me and asked me to send her to study. She came in the morning.
Wu Yi's attitude gradually softened. He was chewing rice grains, his face was squirming, and he started talking to Li Guilai: I know you are doing this for the sake of the child. I came here to work to earn more money. Well, business is going well now. You always ride your bicycle to the suburban slaughterhouse to place an order for tomorrow's goods and an extra order.
Li Gui said OK and looked at Ru Hua again. Then, he walked towards the left side of the meat stall. There was a shed there with a bicycle inside, which was locked. He opened it with the key, pushed the car out of the shed, and asked Ru Hua, who was following him, to sit in the back seat and walked from the market. The gate was pushed out and onto the street. He rode on it and stepped on the pedal. The steel wheel carried the heavy load and rotated hard. Soon he was out of the west of the city and headed towards the main road leading to the suburbs.
Gradually reaching the section of road where Li Ruhua came, she said to her father: There is a plastic sign ahead.
Dad told her not to talk and to just step on the steel wheel. The bicycle was speeding on the bright asphalt road that was slightly sticky due to the sun. When it was approaching the section with plastic signs, a large truck suddenly drove from the opposite direction, also driving at a high speed. When it was about to drive in front of him, Li Gui I swung the car's faucet towards the roadside, but for some reason the big truck also hit me head-on. When the danger was extremely high, Li Gui turned his head and pushed Ru Hua, who was almost stunned in the back seat, to the ground. He rolled and just got out of the way of the speeding car. truck.
Unfortunately, both Li Gui and the bicycle he was riding were crushed under the wheels. There was a pool of bright red blood on the grass on the roadside. Li Gui's body lay tragically on top of the deformed bicycle, and the front of the bicycle was hit by a trap. Between two poplar tree poles in front of the plastic sign.
The driver in the driver's seat looked pale. He looked at the plastic sign and sighed as if he were looking at a monument. I opened the car door and walked out, and saw a girl lying on the ground crying in front of the car. I stretched out my hand to pull her up, pointed to a body under the wheel and said: Who are you?
The girl took a closer look and burst into tears: Dad——
The driver knew it was her father and his mind went blank. At this time, another truck drove up on the highway and stopped. Two people got out of the truck and talked about it: Oh, there was a car accident.
The driver who caused the accident asked the girl, where do you live? Are there any relatives at home?
Ru Hua could not name the specific name of his home, but said that it was at the north end of the road and his mother lived at home.
After a while, many villagers came and looked at the body under the wheel. Some recognized it as Li Gui's body and said that it was the bird hunter who was crushed to death by the car.
As the little girl cried out in grief, everyone was talking about how difficult it was to deal with the funeral.
What the world doesn’t know is that after Li Gui’s death, his soul left his body and suddenly saw the sky filled with dense numbers of birds. Some were wailing in front of and behind him; some were swooping down toward him like vultures, using iron hooks to Its claws grabbed his hair and pecked the top of his head. He was afraid that his eyes would be pecked out, so he held them with his hands, terrified. He no longer thought about his body in the car accident, but he shouted for help, but no one paid attention.
He spread his fingers over his eyes and looked out, ah! Two weirdos came in front of them. They were the officials from the underworld that people had heard people talk about during their lifetimes--an ox-headed man and a horse-faced man. Now that they were really in front of him, normally it would be very scary, but now, he was not afraid anymore, and felt grateful to them both.
As soon as the bull-headed hand was raised, all the birds scattered in all directions. Only the vulture that pecked Li Gui's head did not fly away and was still sipping the blood from his head.
The horse roared, and the vulture hesitated for a moment, its dark eyes rolled, and reluctantly let go of Li Gui's head and flew away.
Li Gui realized that he had arrived in the underworld, and immediately knelt down, clasped his hands solemnly, and bowed several times to the bull-headed and horse-faced people.
Get up, no need to be polite. Niutou said.
You are guilty! Ma Mian suddenly said something when Li Gui stood up.
