Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Before long it was past two in the morning; villagers arrived at the Wang house one after another, gathering in the courtyard — some smoking, some chatting.

Wang Zhanggen's brother Wang Zhangtian had also returned.

He came to offer a stick of incense for Wang Zhanggen, weeping uncontrollably.

No one could have imagined that he, the elder brother, would still be alive while Wang Zhanggen, the younger brother, had gone on ahead.

Li Xiulan's two elder brothers, Li Yaozu and Li Jiahao, also rushed over from the neighboring town.

They had originally planned to come tomorrow morning, but Wang Erhai called them and said the funeral procession was moved to three o'clock tonight, so they immediately rode their motorcycles over.

Li Xiulan and Du Xiaojuan were serving the cooked chicken congee, greeting the guests inside the house.

More and more people gathered, and it grew noisier and noisier.

The moment three o'clock struck, Lao Zan stepped out to the courtyard gate and set off a string of red firecrackers.

The crackling of the firecrackers tore through the quiet night sky of this small village.

"Changgen, it's time to hit the road~"

Lao Zan shouted toward the night sky.

The coffin-bearers inside the house immediately lifted the coffin.

As the eldest son, Wang Dashan held Wang Zhanggen's portrait in both hands, walking in front of the coffin.

Wang Erhai, Wang Xiaohua, followed close behind.

Then came Wang Zhangtian and other Wang family relatives, and behind them were the relatives from Li Xiulan's maternal side.

The Shanggou Village villagers seeing them off formed the rear of the procession.

Wang Zhanggen's coffin was carried out of the house.

All along the way, firecrackers sounded without cease.

His burial site was not at the Luan Zang Gang behind the Bamboo Garden, but on a small hill opposite the village entrance highway.

That was a feng shui treasure land Wang Zhanggen had personally chosen while alive.

Ever since he learned he had cancer and returned to Shanggou Village, he started hiring feng shui masters to inspect sites.

When his health improved a little, he even personally accompanied a feng shui master up the mountain to search.

Wu Banxian had inspected that feng shui treasure land opposite the village entrance highway and said the place was good — prosperous in both offspring and wealth, protecting descendants.

Wang Zhanggen was very satisfied with that place while alive; fearing someone else would take it, he specially went and made a "seal" — a so-called "seal" is actually a "living grave," also called a "longevity grave."

Every place has its own different name for it; in the Shanggou Village dialect it's called a "seal."

Yesterday during the day, Wang Dashan called a few people to dig open that seal and excavate the coffin pit.

So now all that's needed is to carry the coffin over, complete the rites, and it can be buried.

The long funeral procession slowly walked out of the village entrance.

Because the funeral time was changed temporarily, there wasn't even a band with gongs, drums, and suona; apart from the firecrackers, it was dead silent.

After leaving the village entrance, they still had to walk a stretch of highway, pass a sharp turn on the mountain highway, before they could carry the coffin up the mountain.

But it was precisely when passing that sharp turn that disaster struck.

The long funeral procession had just cleared the sharp turn.

Right behind them a large freight truck came speeding up.

Because the bend was a blind spot.

And it was past three in the dead of night; the truck driver probably never expected a massive crowd of people on this highway.

Or perhaps the truck driver had seen them but mistook them for a netherworld funeral procession.

In any case, the final result was: the funeral procession walked ahead, the freight truck had just rounded the bend when it crushed into them from behind.

Those at the very end of the procession — the Shanggou Village villagers.

In an instant a large swath of them were run over!

After hitting people, the freight truck driver frantically turned the steering wheel and slammed the brakes.

He slammed diagonally into the mountainside at the bend.

Only this prevented the entire funeral procession from being wiped out.

Even so, the Shanggou Village villagers at the rear had already suffered countless dead and injured.

The Wang family members at the very front, as well as the relatives from Li Xiulan's maternal side, only realized something terrible had happened when they heard the huge crash of the freight truck hitting the mountainside behind them.

Wang Dashan looked back; by the dim moonlight he saw a large expanse of people lying on the ground — dead and alive mixed together, broken legs, intestines crushed out, heads smashed to pulp, everywhere.

The living were screaming miserably.

The dead lay strewn across the ground.

The freight truck driver climbed down from the cab, also scared stupid.

"Fuck your mother, I fuck your mother! What the hell is a huge crowd of people doing on the highway in the middle of the night! Fuck!"

The freight truck driver's hands, feet, and lips were all trembling.

Because he knew that even if he wasn't fully liable, he'd likely go bankrupt paying compensation.

After all, this car accident had caused casualties too horrific.

Wang Dashan, Wang Erhai, and many relatives and villagers were all scared stupid.

Their minds completely crashed.

Even Lao Zan was badly frightened.

Although Lao Zan had seen off many dead people.

But a car accident this horrific, it was still the first time he had seen one!

Wang Xiaohua was also badly frightened, but he quickly came back to his senses.

He hurriedly shouted:

"Second Brother, you hurry up and go to the front to flash a flashlight, warn the cars coming behind not to rush up! Big Brother, Uncle, all you relatives, we hurry up and go move the wounded people to the roadside, to avoid a secondary car accident!"

With Wang Xiaohua's shout, everyone only then reacted.

They hurried over to help.

Even the coffin bearers hurriedly put down the coffin.

According to regulations, a coffin on the funeral procession road cannot be put down midway.

But now such a major car accident has happened, who would still care about those regulations?

Even Wang Dashan didn't care anymore.

Wang Xiaohua himself hurriedly took out his mobile phone, dialed 120 emergency number!

"Hello, Shanggou Village, near the village entrance, on the Panshan Highway side, a major car accident occurred, a large freight truck crashed into people on the road, dead and wounded at least ten or more, hurry up and dispatch several more ambulances over!"

The operator on the other end of the phone expressed suspicion:

"You're not joking, right? In the middle of the night, that road at Shanggou Village entrance is just a township highway, usually not many people walk there, in the dead of night, how could there be so many people walking on the highway?"

Wang Xiaohua shouted loudly:

"You just hurry up and let the ambulances come over, I'm not deceiving you, if I deceive you, you can let public security arrest me and put me in detention!"

Hearing Wang Xiaohua's trembling shout, the operator only then realized that a major car accident had probably really happened, so she busily said:

"I'll coordinate from this side, in about half an hour the ambulances will arrive!"

Wang Xiaohua hung up the phone, hurriedly ran over to the car accident scene to help.

As a result, from far away he saw that quite a few of the people who had come to help just now were vomiting wildly by the highway.

Wang Dashan, however, didn't vomit; he just stood rooted in front of the dead and wounded, completely dumbfounded.

For a moment he didn't know what to do, just stood rooted there.

Wang Xiaohua ran up and took a look!

Only to see crushed flesh and blood, organs, brain matter, severed limbs, everywhere, and some even completely stuck to the highway!

He also produced a huge psychological discomfort!

Under the dim flashlight beams, fresh blood flowed along the road surface toward the gully at the inner bend.

The horrific car accident scene, wailing everywhere.

Truly shocking to the eye and heart!

Wang Xiaohua forcibly endured his inner fear and physiological discomfort.

Hurriedly went to help move the still living people to the roadside.

After finishing all this, he then ran to his big brother's front, jumped up and fiercely smashed a fist into Wang Dashan's face.

Wang Dashan was hit, but he didn't fight back.

Just covered his nose, squatted to the side, and cried.

Because he knew in his heart that this time the responsibility was entirely on him!

If not for him forcibly insisting on changing the funeral time to three in the morning, this kind of thing would never have happened!

With such a thing happening, how could he face the elders and fellow villagers of Shanggou Village?

He felt he was ruined!

Not only him ruined!

But would drag the whole Wang Family down to ruin together!
