Chapter 121. [Case Seventeen] Bizarre car accident
In recent years, there is a social issue that has been mentioned by everyone, that is, how to treat the elderly in public places. Some people say that when taking a bus, you should take the initiative to give up your seat to the elderly, while others say
, when you see an old man crossing the road, you should take the initiative to reach out and help. And so on.
I actually very much praise this approach, because after all, these are some traditional virtues of the Chinese people. They should be inherited and carried forward, and they are the basic qualities that every conscientious person should have. But with the progress of the times,
, when more and more middle-aged people around us gradually become elderly, the situation is not as we imagined.
For example, on the bus, although everyone will take the initiative to give up their seats, they are more reluctant to do so. When helping the elderly to cross the road, everyone will also have some concerns about their own actions. Many elderly people also have the habit of relying on their elders.
Personality, for example, they feel that others should give up their seats to them when they are on a bus. Otherwise, it is an act of rebellion and disrespect for the elderly. Even in the news some time ago, I saw an old man giving up his seat to him because of a little girl.
Sometimes he muttered a few words and then started to hit people. Another example is that after many old people fell to the ground, some kind-hearted citizens reached out to help them, but they were relied on. As a result, the old man will be haunted by this incident for the rest of his life.
Citizens.
When did our society begin to become like this? Moral norms are distorted, and the definition of doing good is destroyed. When encountering these things, people who are more open-minded will shake their heads and shout that they are unlucky, or use their mobile phones to take pictures and videos.
We must prove our innocence, but when some of the supposed good deeds gradually turn into distrust between people, then what is the point of doing these things? The problem is never one-sided, not only those who see it
People who refuse to save people have problems, and those old people with bad conduct also have problems. So in the final analysis, when you are unfortunately framed and wronged by an old man for no reason, it is not because the old people have become bad, but because they are bad.
People are just getting older.
And the story I want to tell you today is the story of an old man, the story of an old man who fell to the ground.
When receiving this commission, Hu Zongren was actually a little hesitant, because we had had a similar experience before. The incident was roughly because an old lady who lived on the second floor accidentally fell while going up the stairs.
When I couldn't get up, a college student who rented a room on the fourth floor of this building passed by and saw me, so he kindly helped the old lady up. It is said that he didn't think so much at the time, thinking that the neighbors would never blackmail her.
Just do it yourself. After he sent the old lady home, she thanked her profusely, and then he went home by himself. But not long after, someone knocked on the door aggressively. When he saw that it was the old lady's son who came to the door, he insisted
I hit the old lady and ran away. At that time, the college student was very wronged and asked to confront the old lady. However, the old lady changed her previous attitude of thanking her repeatedly and insisted that it was the college student who knocked her down and began to ask for money.
claim for compensation.
This college student came to study in the city from a rural area. His family background was not very good, and his tuition was paid for by a work-study program. After the college student's parents learned about this incident, they had no choice but to pay back the little money they had at home.
The college student's mother was so angry that she couldn't afford to fall ill. The medical bills and compensation made the college student's father breathless, so he finally chose to take the road of desperation. He left his son who was heavily in debt and his wife who was seriously ill in bed to pass away.
.
This is a real case. There was a news report in 2009, and the reason why it was reported was that Hu Zongren and I were involved in it. That case was done for free. Not only was it free, but it was also exposed by the media. Hu Zongren was even more concerned about this case.
The grandma and her family imposed punishment. This is a tragedy, but this tragedy happened because of a good deed, so we began to be a little confused about whether we should not do something good or what we did was not a good thing. So when Zhao Jing
When I called Hu Zongren to tell me about the case, Hu Zongren immediately told me, and before hanging up the phone, he said harshly: If this old man is the same as last time, I will let him go.
What a weird mouth.
Although I said that, the Xuanyuan Hui case had no choice but to be handled by Hu Zongren and I. After meeting with Zhao Jing at the appointed time, she took us directly to a hospital near Yuanjiagang, Chongqing. This hospital
It is an affiliated hospital of the Medical University. Because of its good medical capabilities and the price is more affordable than military hospitals, this hospital has become the choice of many Chongqing people after they fall ill. It was already noon when we arrived at the hospital.
At this time, there are usually many people in the ward queuing up in front of the microwave oven to heat meals for patients. I couldn’t stand the smell of the disinfectant mixed with the food, and it was also inconvenient to disturb others while they were eating, so I suggested
Why don't we go have something to eat? After unanimously agreeing, we found the row of small restaurants outside the gate of a nearby university.
People who do business are smart, and they generally have a very detailed understanding of their customer base. For example, these owners who run various restaurants and supermarkets outside the school gate are like this. In my opinion, there are two kinds of people in this world.
The most profitable ones are women and students. Taken together, they are female students, so the boutiques, stationery stores, all kinds of beautiful headbands, stockings and other groceries here are always crowded with female students.
We chose to sit down at a Xinjiang chicken restaurant and ordered a 48-yuan chicken dish. The potatoes were cooked to a crisp and the chicken was delicious and juicy. After eating, we ordered another dish with the condiments on the plate.
A portion of ramen, it felt really great.
After lunch, we found the ward according to the ward number that Zhao Jing got. This department is surgery, and there are almost all people with gauze on their hands and heads, and some are wearing walking sticks, so most of them are people with various diseases.
Patients injured in accidents, such as fractures. This ward is a three-person room, which has the most beds in a single room in this hospital. It is also relatively cheap, only better than those patients who live in the corridor.
Just a little better. In a corner of the ward by the window, there was a gray-haired old woman lying on the bed, one foot stretched out from the quilt, plastered and tied with gauze, and a man and a woman were sitting on either side.
Zhao Jing walked up and said hello. It seemed that the man was looking for her, so she started talking to the man directly. Since it was still a visit to the old man, we still greeted the old lady politely, but at the old man's bedside
The woman who looked about 40 years old didn't seem to have a very good-looking expression, and she even felt a little disgusted with us. Although I don't know why, we have long been accustomed to this kind of expression, and we didn't pay attention to her. Instead, after briefly greeting the old lady,
We just stood aside and waited for Zhao Jing.
At this time, the man who was talking to Zhao Jing at first told us that this is the ward. If you don't mind, we can go to the hall outside to talk. There are some situations that I need to explain clearly to you. So he took us towards the hospital.
Walking outside, he took two steps but fell back, handed the handbag under his arm to the woman, then turned around and continued walking.
Hu Zongren and I followed him out without saying a word, and arrived at the fire escape at the end of the corridor. There was a fire door between the ward and the ward. There were many cigarette butts on the ground. Presumably many people who were visiting patients and were addicted to cigarettes had settled here.
The man handed us a cigarette and said, let me introduce you first. My surname is Leng. I invite you here because a strange thing happened to me.
After Hu Zongren lit a cigarette, he sat on the stairs and asked Mr. Leng, "We are here to help you solve your problem. Just tell us what happened to you. It doesn't matter how strange you are." Mr. Leng also sat next to Hu Zongren and said
, the incident happened about two weeks ago. Due to work, I would go home late. Moreover, my home was located in Baishiyi, Chongqing, but my place of work was in the main city. In other words, I returned home every day.
When I go home, I must take a short stretch of highway, which is an uninhabited place. Originally, this kind of life has been going on for many years, but starting from two weeks ago, every time I drive home at night, I will
Some strange things would happen to varying degrees. I don’t know if it was because of his dazzling eyes, but he would see a short old woman in a gray pony coat and cloth shoes crossing the road. She would do the same thing for several days in a row.
I have encountered it in many places, and even almost bumped into it several times.
Mr. Leng said that it stands to reason that at that time, the elderly are generally resting. Moreover, although that section of road is not strictly a highway, due to previous road reconstruction, it was originally a highway and finally began to be free of charge.
It was changed to an inner ring road, but even so, it is still a highway facility with protective nets around it. How could an old man show up here so late and still choose to cross the highway every day when he passes by that section of the road?
Woolen cloth.
Mr. Leng said that when he first saw it, he didn't care. He just cursed in his heart that the old man didn't cherish life. However, for several days in a row, he felt something was wrong, and he slowed down the car the next day.
He paid attention to the old man. When his speed slowed down, he realized that the old man was heading straight for his car. The last time he saw it, the old man hit the car directly and hit the hood of the car.
There was a clang in the car, and I felt scared, so I got out of the car and checked, but I couldn't find the old lady.
Hu Zongren frowned and asked, are you saying that the old lady is a ghost? I think your description of the old lady's appearance seems to be similar to that of your mother. Mr. Leng was stunned and said, my mother? Hu Zongren said yes, lying on the hospital bed
Isn't that the one? Mr. Leng said, you misunderstood, that is not my mother.
