Chapter 1 [A Car Accident and Time Rewind]
Sizzle!
It hurts!
Are you going to die?
Nose and mouth vaguely came from the fishy smell of blood, before the eyes of a black Dong Xuebin tried to move his fingers - no reaction, tried to twist his neck - also no reaction, finally, he used all his strength to open his eyelids slowly a slit, the Within his blurred vision was a large truck overloaded with sand and gravel, and on the side, an old man of seventy or eighty and a beautiful woman of less than thirty were lying motionless in a pool of blood. Both sides of the road surrounded a lot of passers-by, in the old man and the woman's body beside the moving mouth shouting something, but Dong Xuebin's ears did not splash the slightest sound, nothing can be heard!
The old man is dead, Aunt Xuan is dead, and he is so heavily injured ...... that he is surely not alive!
Looking at his crush Qu Yunxuan's bleak face full of blood and water, Dong Xuebin's heart hurts like a pinch.
Neighbor Qu Yunxuan is a particularly kind woman, just at the intersection when I saw the old man's legs are not good to take the initiative to help him cross the road, but obviously the red light, next to the truck driver came but I do not know whether it is driving under the influence of alcohol or fatigue driving, but even rushed directly over, far away to see Auntie Xuan in distress Dong Xuebin flew over to try to Qu Yunxuan tugging, but did not catch up with his own followed by the life of a man.
I've never been so remorseful!
I have never regretted so much!
If Dong Xuebin had realized that the truck was out of control a moment earlier and ran over to save him, all three of them might not have had to die.
But now ...... it is too late to say anything!
Dong Xuebin's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, he couldn't bear to look at Qu Yunxuan and the old man's bodies that were somewhat deformed by the car, his eyes closed and he waited for death to come!
Rumble!
What appeared to be the sound of thunder! A thunderous sound that seemed to be able to shatter the soul!
In the next moment, Dong Xuebin's eyes flashed and he actually jumped out of the endless darkness.
Strength back into the body, hearing and vision also brakingly restored as before, Dong Xuebin froze for a moment, blinking eyes and looked around in a daze, and found that he actually stood upright, actually returned to the intersection just before the traffic lights, surrounded by the capital city unique sea of long lines of cars, sedans, trucks and cabs one by one from the front of his speeding past, the evening under the dim street lights, passers-by in a hurry.
"Grandpa, let me help you cross the street."
"No, thank you girl, you go your way."
"My house lives right across the street, not far around, come on, I'll help you."
Dong Xuebin stunned along with the voice looked over, a face of gentle smile Qu Yunxuan actually appeared not far from the crosswalk, she also saw Dong Xuebin, pursed her lips and smiled brightly, "Xiao Bin just back? Looking for classmates to play?" Next to her was the old man who had just died, the old man glanced at Dong Xuebin's side, then hunched over his back and covered his mouth with a sickly continuous cough.
"Ah, uh, just came back." Look at this, look at that, Dong Xuebin subconsciously replied, half a day did not react.
What's going on? He didn't die? Aunt Xuan didn't die? The old man didn't die either?
Dong Xuebin dumbly stretched his hand into the air and opened it, clenched his fist and opened it, there was no blood and no injury.
Was it a dream just now? No car accident? All hallucinations?
The red light went out, the yellow light came on, after a slight pause, the green light hung on the opposite side. Pedestrians waiting for the green light at the intersection began to step on the sidewalk one after another to cross the street. The old man was the one who walked the slowest, moving forward slowly on his crutches, while Qu Yunxuan carefully supported the old man, accompanying him to cross the street together.
So familiar!
What a familiar picture!
Suddenly, the ear came a lot of engine noise, Dong Xuebin reflexively look over, only to see the left side of the road on the right turn lane came a big truck, the back of the sand and gravel stuffed full, and even bulged out a large piece. Truck speed is not particularly fast, at most four, fifty mph less than, so rumbling towards the intersection!
Dong Xuebin rubbed his eyes, his heart was shocked, this is not the scene before Aunt Xuan's accident?
How could this happen? Did time go backward? Was it not an illusion?
In the nick of time, he couldn't think too much and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quickly dodge! There's a car!"
The nearby crowd was stunned in unison and flew to look around.
"What car?"
"Where is there a car?"
Qu Yunxuan saw the truck and turned her head to Dong Xuebin strangely, "What are you shouting for? It's a red light over there."
The old man didn't take it seriously, the truck was on the line of the right turn, the turn was not in their way.
Dong Xuebin, however, knew that the truck that killed the three of them would not stop at all, and while running, he said anxiously, "Aunt Xuan! Quickly avoid there! Get out of the way!"
Qu Yunxuan foot black high heels a beat, funny: "Xiao Bin, you today how? That truck is not ......"
Before the words fell, the truck's huge body had already pressed on the parking line, but there was no sign of slowing down!
Whoosh! Under the horrified eyes of the crowd, the truck rushed through the red light!
"Ah!"
"Run!"
"It's going to hit someone!"
The surrounding screams were endless!
Qu Yunxuan's entire body was confused, her face was anxious, and the first thing she did when she came back to her senses was to pull the old man with all her might, "Quickly! Run!"
"Girl you run! Leave me alone!" The old man panicked and pushed Qu Yunxuan.
But it was too late, the roaring truck was already close at hand.
Four meters ......
Three meters ......
Qu Yunxuan and the old man looked desperate!
At the time when everyone thought that the two of them were going to die on the spot, Dong Xuebin, who had been clear that the truck would run the red light, violently and furiously ran behind the two of them, and through the inertia of the rush over, Dong Xuebin used all of his body's strength to wrap his arms around Auntie Xuan and the old man's waists respectively, and continued to use the original momentum to fight his way forward, roaring ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, and intercepting the waist of the two of them to swing them heavily out of the way!
"Ah! It's over!"
"Dead man!"
Many of the bolder ones closed their eyes.
There was a whirring sound! The killing truck almost grazed Dong Xuebin's back and sped away!
The old man's side half body rubbed the ground and slid half a meter to the north!
Qu Yunxuan was also slapped to the ground by Dong Xuebin's swing and rolled with a grunt!
Dong Xuebin was the one who fell the hardest, crawling diagonally on the road, enduring the pain in his waist and legs and sucking in cold air!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, followed by cheers resounding through the streets!
"Not dead! Not dead!"
"Good job young man!"
"Snap." I don't know who took the lead, but the passersby beside them applauded Dong Xuebin.
Squeak, the culprit truck in a dozen meters away before it was an afterthought to step on the brakes to stop in the middle of the road, the window glass was rolled down some, there is a drunken head peeked out, after a few seconds of silence, the truck engine roar, and again all the way to the dust.
"Ya ran away!"
"Quickly write down his car number!"
"Right! Call the police!"
The old man on the ground was helped up by the traffic warden who rushed over from the opposite side, seeing Dong Xuebin lying there without moving his nest, the old man shouted in a panic: "How's the lad? How is it?"
Qu Yunxuan also covered the arm climbed up, even dropped high heels do not care to wear, barefoot panic ran to Dong Xuebin in front of him, squatting and shaking him, "Xiao Bin! Xiao Bin! What's wrong with you? You speak ah! You do not scare me okay? Quickly wake up! Woo-hoo! Don't scare me!" Qu Yunxuan couldn't stop her tears from flowing out, "It's my fault! I didn't listen to you and ducked out in advance! Whoops! You wake up! If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to your mother! You wake up! Whoops!"
Dong Xuebin heart palpitating exhaled a breath of air, difficult a twist of the head said, "I'm fine ...... just ...... fall hard ....... "
Qu Yunxuan arm a stagnation, tears of joy to hold him, "You scared me to death! Scared me to death!"
Uh, Dong Xuebin, who had never been in such close contact with this beautiful neighbor, was a little stiff.
The old man's eyes were also a little red with excitement, "It's good that it's okay! It's good that it's okay!"
Three people are hands and legs broken a little skin, fortunately not injured, this side of the road is changing lights, Dong Xuebin three people helped each other to the opposite side of the road on the auxiliary road.
Just stand still, the old man is trembling to hold Dong Xuebin's hand, grateful: "Thank you, thank you, you say we have no relatives and no relatives, you also risked so much ...... this call me to say what good ah, you are still young, the future of the road is long, I have lived for almost eighty years, a while ago also just found out that I've lived for almost eighty years, and I just found out about lung cancer a while ago, and I don't have many days left to live. If you put your life on the line for me, I'll be guilty of too much. Listening to the accent, the old man is also the Beijing people, and from the speech and demeanor and temperament, eighty percent is the kind of old man who does the study, the degree of culture is very high.
Dong Xuebin rubbed his arm and huffed, "You're welcome."
Qu Yunxuan reddened her eyes and tidied up Dong Xuebin's crooked neckline, moving her lips but not speaking.
"My surname is Hu, just call me Grandpa Hu, girl, young man, what do you two call yourself?"
"I Dong Xuebin, her name is Qu Yunxuan."
Grandpa Hu said, "Leave me a contact information, I'll come to the door some other day to thank you both properly."
Qu Yunxuan heartbreakingly wiped the dust and dirt on Dong Xuebin's face with her hand, "You don't have to thank me, it's all Xiao Bin's doing that we can still stand here and talk."
"All thanks, all thanks."
Can't stand Grandpa Hu a flurry of questions, at the end of the day, Dong Xuebin thought, or from the pocket of his jeans to touch out a penny paper ticket, in the white edge position wrote a 139 beginning of the GSM number.
Soon, the traffic police came, Qu Yunxuan and the old man will just go through said again.
Dong Xuebin's mind is not here at all, the brain is confused all the question marks.
The three of them were obviously hit by a car and died, why suddenly returned to the previous picture at the intersection when waiting for the traffic light?
If the death of the three of them was an illusion, then why was the scene in the illusion exactly the same as the reality? The conversation before Qu Yunxuan helped the old man cross the street, the truck's rampage, everything was exactly the same except that the final outcome had changed, was this also a hallucination? But if it wasn't an hallucination delusion, then how could one explain that he had suddenly returned to the previous time period?
It doesn't make sense at all!
Is there really such a surreal thing in the world?
Dong Xuebin's mind silently recited: go back! Go back! Back! Back!
Tried a few times with no luck, he smiled helplessly, but also, how can superpowers and whatnot exist.
