When Lao Tan got on the train to Beijing, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was bitter, sweet, and even sour.
When I go home, I feel timid about my hometown, and when I leave home, I feel reluctant to leave. There is always a feeling that I don’t know when I will come back after I leave, and I feel empty inside.
My mother's face appears in front of my eyes from time to time, with snow-white hair, gray eyes, and wrinkled face------
As I thought about it, tears flowed out of my eye sockets involuntarily and slid down my cheeks.
This trip home was the same as the Spring Festival. He hid his illness and his divorce. In his opinion, these two things should not be told to his family to avoid worrying about them.
I stayed with my mother for a month. Although the time was short, I didn't spend enough time with her. I wanted to stay for a few more days, but my health was critical and I had to leave.
His greatest comfort was that his mother was in good health and had no illness or disaster. His sisters' families were prosperous and had a good life, which made him feel at ease and happy from the bottom of his heart.
If your mother is good, if your sisters are good, you must be good too.
The train flew all the way, from dusk into night, and arrived in Beijing at ten o'clock in the evening.
He didn't notify Wang Shulan that he was coming, not because he didn't want to see her, but because the train arrived late and he didn't want to disturb her. He thought about getting off the train and staying in a hotel for one night, and then calling to say he was coming the next day.
.
The lights in front of the station are as bright as daytime, and the air carries the temperature of the day as it shuttles among the bustling crowds. There is no night scene to be seen.
Lao Tan walked out of the square in front of the station and onto the overpass. There was a Home Inn across the street. He had stayed there before and planned to stay there tonight.
There were not many people on the overpass, and most of the people walking back and forth were passengers getting on and off the bus. About ten meters away, there was a homeless man sleeping directly under the billboard, with finished lunch boxes and empty beer bottles beside him.
When he was at the corner of the second floor of the overpass, he saw a girl huddled on the ground crying. There were three young men surrounding the girl. One of them was holding a mobile phone in his hand and shouting at the girl while fidgeting: "
You want to call the police, who did something to you? You call the police?"
Lao Tan originally planned to go directly beside them, because he could tell from the clothes of the three men and one woman that they were locals, and judged that they were out together to show off. Maybe the girls drank too much or had conflicts with each other.
Will cry.
But unexpectedly, I heard the word "call the police", so I subconsciously stopped.
To be honest, people have the instinct to avoid risks and the mentality of joining in the fun. Before Lao Tan stopped, there were people coming up and down here, but they all took a curious look and passed by without stopping. There was indeed a rush among them.
I am anxious to catch the train, but more importantly I am afraid of getting into trouble and being in danger.
But when I saw people who were not afraid of death coming forward to watch, the mentality hidden deep in my heart to join in the fun took over, so I stopped for the second, third, and fourth time -----
Curiosity killed the cat.
Seeing people watching, the three young men were a little nervous. The one holding the mobile phone shouted to the people watching: "What are you looking at? Is there anything interesting to see?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two fearful ones left, leaving Lao Tan, a middle-aged couple, and an old man in his sixties.
"Are you together?" Lao Tan was not afraid and took a step forward to ask.
"Together, how?" asked the young man holding the mobile phone.
"Who is with you? I am not with you!" The girl suddenly stood up and shouted, and then shouted to the young man holding the mobile phone: "Give me your mobile phone, what are you doing with my mobile phone?"
"Since we are not together, give your phone to them," said the sixty-year-old man.
"What do you need? Are you free?" the young man holding the girl's mobile phone said with his eyes raised.
Unexpectedly, the old man was not only not afraid of trouble, but also quite stubborn. He took a step forward and stood up with Lao Tan and said, "I have nothing to do. How dare you touch me?"
He is full of provocation, and it seems that he often fought against injustices when he was young.
As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the violent, and the violent are afraid of losing their lives. The three young men softened when the old man was angry. It seemed that they were not promiscuous, at best they had just embarked on the path of promiscuous society.
Lao Tan darkened his face at the right moment and said in a deep voice: "Give the person your phone and leave quickly, otherwise I will call the police."
The word "call the police" was a deterrent. The three young men looked at each other tacitly, gave the girl the phone, and walked off the overpass.
It turns out that this is what happened. The girl and the young man who took her mobile phone are Internet friends, and today is the first time they met. After meeting, they had a meal first. During the meal, the young man called two friends, and the four of them chatted quite happily.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
After dinner, at the young man's instigation, the girl followed him to the karaoke bar. After a wild session under the stimulation of alcohol, the three young men saw that the girl was generous and open-minded, so they wanted to take the girl to a room.
So we took a taxi from the karaoke bar to the hotel. The girl was drunk at the time and wanted to vomit in the taxi. The driver stopped the car and asked the girl to get down and vomit.
After the girl got out of the car and vomited, her head sobered up. When she realized she was here, she immediately understood what was going to happen next and ran onto the overpass.
After being frightened, the girl completely sobered up and regretted it. To be honest, she still doesn't know the young man's last name.
Hey, young people today are so bold.
Everyone dispersed, the girl took a taxi home, and Lao Tan walked towards the Home Inn, shaking his head and sighing as he walked.
It is said that the three young men did not go far after getting off the overpass, but lingered nearby unwillingly.
"You two are screwed, you don't even dare to fart." The girl's netizen dismissed his two friends.
"Didn't you see that there are more and more people watching? What if the bald man calls the police?" one of them said.
"He didn't dare."
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"It's just that bald guy who's troublesome."
"Look, isn't that the bald one?"
The girl's netizen spotted Lao Tan walking towards the Home Inn. He couldn't help but feel angry and called his two friends to go up and teach Lao Tan a lesson.
"Okay, go up and knock him down first, kick him and then run away." One of them said.
"Don't give him a chance to call the police," another said.
"Stick him and tell him to remember a little longer." The girl's netizen took out a knife from his pocket and said viciously.
People are aware of upcoming unknown dangers.
Lao Tan was walking forward when suddenly he felt something was going to happen. He subconsciously turned sideways and looked back——
But it was still too late. He was thrown to the ground all of a sudden, and then he was kicked hard by six feet. He could only protect his head with both hands, and bent his knees to protect his stomach. He had nowhere to dodge.
In an instant, when he felt a sharp pain in his left arm, he heard the sound of Sayazi running away.
When he sat up from the ground and covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand, he only saw three figures running away frantically, quickly disappearing into the darkness at the corner of the street, and the blood had stained their clothes red.
He grinned bitterly and thought to himself, this is retribution. Damn, who told you to meddle in other people's business?
There were a few people watching him being beaten, but they all looked at it as if they were just watching, and no one came forward or called the police.
He was very unlucky.
It's bad luck. My arm is still bleeding. It's important to go to the hospital to bandage it first.
When Lao Tan went to the hospital and came out with stitches and bandaging, it was already midnight. He was so upset that he couldn't swallow his breath, so he took a taxi back to the place where he was stabbed and called the police.
Soon, the police from the Zhanqian Police Station came. After understanding the situation, they took notes. Then they went to the nearby Home Inn to retrieve the external surveillance video. Needless to say, it was actually recorded.
Then Lao Tan told what happened on the overpass. The police said that there was surveillance on the overpass and the three boys could not escape.
After the police left, Lao Tan took a breath and comforted himself by saying that he had not read the almanac when he went out, so he should have been in trouble. At the same time, he also blamed himself for not calling Wang Shulan. If Wang Shulan came to pick him up at the station, this matter would have been fine.
Hey, how can anyone have the foresight to know how good it is to sleep on a urinal bed and sleep on a sieve?
