Chapter 408, the story (one more)
The voice smiled slightly.

Like sighing.

And like a lonely soul, mourning.

"Jincheng 19 years ago was not as prosperous as Nanmu County is now. At that time, there was no information explosion, people's lives were relatively simple, and they were less defensive. Everything at that time was different from now .A ray of light, a glass of wine, a tear, a leaf...the brightness of each sky is different."

The voice in the stereo is low and muffled, babbling, as if reading a mournful prose.

"People at that time had just come out of hard times and were not as keen on traveling as they are now. Therefore, people who travel generally have a higher level of living and come from wealthier families..."

"Jincheng was sunny that day. A tourist bus took 22 passengers out of Jincheng and headed for a tourist attraction. In the mountainous area in June and July, there was a heavy rainstorm. The bus was on the way and encountered a flash flood. The car was rushed out of the road by the mudslide from the mountain, sliding all the way down the cliff, and his life was hanging by a thread..."

"The people in the car were very scared. It was the first time for them to experience such a disaster, and it was the first time they were close to death... There was a lot of crying in the car. They thought that they would soon be swept away by mudslides with the car, and slipped again. into the rolling and roaring mountain torrent... But they were lucky, the car crashed for a while, and got stuck on the mountainside, shook a few times, and didn't continue to fall..."

"However, the mudslide rolled down. During the fall, some car windows were broken. A mother and daughter were sitting by one of the car windows. The mother was thrown out of the window, and only her hands were left holding the car frame. Her daughter, her body was completely on her arms, and with the help of her mother, she didn't fall down. The little child was so frightened that she completely froze, forgot to cry, and just looked at her with her whole body wet Mom, watching the roaring torrents and mudslides outside..."

"The woman cried out for help, to the people in the car... she didn't ask everyone to save herself, she just asked them... to save her child, to ask them... to reach out and give her daughter a hand. Give her a life ..."

"At that time, the car was in a tilted state, and everyone was holding on to any place they could hold on to. No one dared to let go easily. They didn't know what would happen to the next person who was slid out of the car and caught in the mudslide. It won't be me..."

"Among the woman's cry for help, it was as weak as a whine. The carriage was completely quiet, except for the roar of the mountain torrent and the sound of wind and rain, no one answered..."

"Everyone chooses to be silent, choose not to hear. In the face of sudden disasters and life and death, everyone probably has only one thought in their hearts - to live, to let themselves and their families live, as for others... even the little one Half an hour ago, the girl was still singing nursery rhymes lively in the carriage, calling her uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma... even if that woman is beautiful and gentle... none of them can control..."

"Men, women, old people... They watched helplessly. The little girl who was not yet sensible grabbed her mother's arm and threw herself at her mother. She was afraid. She wanted her mother to hug her. She didn't even know that her mother At that time, I was unable to hold her anymore... The mother and daughter were swept away by the mudslide... The figure quickly disappeared into Hong Mo's hideous mouth... But the woman called her daughter's nickname at the last moment. The voice, however, has been hovering in the carriage..."

"Before a woman died, she must have felt only the cruelty and indifference of this world. She left with despair...but she didn't see that everyone in the carriage was crying...they wept silently , did not make a sound, and mourned silently...weeping for the death of women and children...and crying for my own insignificance and powerlessness..."

"Of course, they were all saved later. They were a very lucky group of people. The bus carrying their lives waited until the rescuers arrived, and it didn't fall... The rescuers said that both wheels were stuck by boulders. Stopped, saved their lives..."

"Everyone is lamenting their luck, but these saved people don't feel happy... They all have a shadow in their hearts, a question... But no one dares to speak. They don't even have the courage to guess or ask. If ——If they worked together at that moment, and each took a hand, would they be able to save the mother and daughter? At least, can they hold that poor little girl?"

"There is no way to assume what has happened... Everyone avoided this question tacitly, not daring to torture their own humanity. After being saved, they left in a hurry without leaving any contact information with each other... They all hoped that , I don’t want to see you again in this life. I even wish that I’ve never been here, that I haven’t passed this terrifying test of desperation…”

"Later, they learned from the news that the flash flood and mudslide caused a large-scale landslide, and there were many casualties. They were indeed lucky. Fortunately, they couldn't help but think of that woman and child. Desperate begging... Also, the voice of a woman crying and calling her daughter "Lili" often rang in their ears, appearing in their nightmares..."

"It's just that they couldn't find news about the woman and child from the cold numbers in the news reports..."

"Things have changed, they all have their own lives, and gradually forget that summer, that trip... and the flash floods and mudslides that broke out... But occasionally in the middle of the night, the woman's heart-piercing cry, I will still be in a dream..."

"Later, some of them became well-known entrepreneurs, and some of them became elites in their respective industries... The society developed very fast. It was a period of rapid economic development, and everyone had Opportunity, the earth-shaking development of society... In the year of the mudslide, mobile phones were not popular yet, and men and women in the streets and alleys still had pagers attached to their waists, and they had to go to public phone booths to make calls... At that time, there were IC cards. thing……"

"Of course, there was no well-developed Internet at that time... The woman's husband was in a remote frontier at that time, carrying out a major technological innovation project... Oh, he was a technical engineer, and he was originally a top talent in the industry. He is a social elite... He left his hometown, with a lot of courage and passion, originally just to exchange for a better future for his wife and daughter..."

"That day, he also ran a long way before he received a call from his hometown, knowing that his wife had died and his daughter... was missing!"

"There was actually no difference between disappearance and death at the time...but he was always looking for his daughter and never gave up..."

"He has always wanted to find out the truth of that day. Why all the people in the car survived and the car didn't crash, only his wife and daughter suffered such bad luck..."

"His family was ruined, and he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Because of that trip, his wife was reluctant to spend money. It was at his strong request that his wife took her daughter there... He left work. post, and returned to Jincheng in despair, looking for the original source of the incident..."

"The first thing he was asked to find was the female tour guide who accompanied the car on that trip... He learned the truth. Then he found out that those who didn't save his wife and daughter still lived so well. How could he be reconciled?"

"In Jincheng that year, a bizarre murder case occurred... The deceased was a tour guide of a travel agency. It is said that she was found to have an affair with a man, and she committed suicide due to the humiliation... Oh, why do you say it is bizarre? Because the body of the deceased, Before the accident, a fresh tattoo with a weird shape was left behind. The police visited all the tattoo shops in Jincheng, but they didn’t get an answer..."

"The investigative technology and physical evidence technology back then were far less developed than they are now...Since there was no trace of homicide at the scene and no third person was found, the police finally concluded the case as a suicide and sealed the case in the file...But the accident in Jincheng And the case is not over... It's just that there are some things that no one knows anymore... Many things in those years have become a mystery and will be forever sealed in the archives!"

"Later, the man left Jincheng and traveled all over the country. He was always looking for his daughter, pasting missing person notices everywhere, struggling in vain, as if to give himself a reason to live, as long as he got news of a suspected daughter , no matter where the world is, he will go to seek proof..."

"The savings are all gone, and his life is far worse than that of a lost dog! Looking at the high-rise buildings rising from the ground in this city, neon lights, and blooming flowers... He knew that in order to find his daughter and for his revenge plan, he It needs a lot of money... At this moment, he no longer cares about the fig leaf of that layer of human nature... He doesn't care about crimes, and he doesn't care about the life and death of others..."

"Actually, what my daughter looked like, the later him, has long been blurred in his memory. The little girl in the photo, with a sweet smile, has been stuck at the age of 3..."
