After the traffic lights at the entrance of the apartment, it was Lin Xia’s company. Maybe the distance is very short. He will always be the first person to go to work in the company, and strange things happened in a seemingly normal early morning.
A week before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Xia started planning to return to her hometown early, and returning home after a long absence of nearly three years made him a little excited. Asking for leave, shifting shifts, buying gifts, contacting friends in his hometown, he got busy with a smile.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he went out early as usual. The city always smells like burning tires in the early morning, and the sky is still a little depressed gray-blue. There are not many traffic on the road downstairs in the apartment at this moment, and occasionally one is driving slowly, as if dragging tiredly. His eyelids crawled hard. Lin Xia was eating breakfast at the hawker downstairs in the apartment, looking at the itinerary on the phone, and then raised her head to wonder if there was anything missing about going home.
“Hey! The kids over there don’t cross the road like this, it’s dangerous.” Lin Xia heard the people around him rioting, and followed the crowd’s sight. One was about ten years old. The girl hurriedly got through the guardrail beside the road and ran across the road. As soon as Fang ran away, a truck loaded with gravel was just turning and flying over the intersection.
The piercing brakes sounded with the exclamation of the crowd. There was a muffled sound, the next moment the child was already flying in the air, and he fell to the ground with a loud sound. The blood under his body bloomed with coquettish flowers.
The truck driver poked his head faintly, looked at the child, and then looked around the road. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he started the engine and fled the scene. The crowd swarmed up, surrounded the fallen children, whispering to each other. The noise was like a heat wave flooding the air, Lin Xia was withdrawn, and exposure to such an environment made him at a loss. Simply stood up and paid the bill, picked up the briefcase and turned around and left. The noise behind her became more and more heated, and Lin Xia couldn’t help being curious, and looked back.
Lin Xia’s gaze passed through the thick crowd, against the direction of blood flow, staying in the girl’s hollow eyes.
The two stopped staring at each other. Suddenly, the girl blinked, her eyes suddenly revitalized, and her eyebrows wrinkled into painful shapes.
“Help…me!” The girl opened her mouth laboriously, and shouted in a low voice. A line of tears flowed down, and his chapped lips expressed the desire to survive.

Lin Xia still looked at the girl blankly, but her thoughts exploded in her mind.
Do you want to call the police? Is it more important to call an ambulance now? If the ambulance comes and the family cannot be contacted, won’t I have to pay the medical expenses? But the life of a child looks awkwardIt’s at stake, it wouldn’t be good if it didn’t save him! and many more! There are so many people watching over there. Someone should have called the police and called an ambulance now! In this case, I shouldn’t be needed anymore, right? If I stay here now, if the police arrive in a while, I will definitely be designated as an eyewitness. Then I will be involved in such a lawsuit. Can I hurry home before the Mid-Autumn Festival? Now that so many good people have taken the initiative to share this incident, and there is no surveillance video at this intersection, the police should not be able to find me! I’d better leave it alone, so that I can go home with peace of mind.
After all, Lin Xia left there and returned to the company. The busy work in the company made him forget everything that happened this morning. It was only when it was twilight that when Lin Xia passed by this intersection after get off work, this incident came to his mind again. At this moment, the road has been isolated by the cordon, the blood on the ground has dried up, and the white tape sticks the outline of the child down. The child should have been rescued in the hospital, right? Lin Xia thought silently in her heart.
Back to the apartment, turn on the TV, turn to the closet and take off the suit that I wore for a day. The sound of the TV echoed in the room.
“There was a serious car accident in our city at Heli Road this morning. A 10-year-old girl was hit by a blue-gray truck nearly eight meters away when she was crossing the road. The ribs passed through the lungs on the ground, causing severe internal bleeding. After the girl fell to the ground, no one helped her. After she struggled on the road for 40 minutes, she was taken to the hospital by a passing courier. During the hospital stay, the girl could no longer support her, and she ended her short life on the road.”

Lin Xia stopped the movement in her hand and hurried to it. In front of the TV. The little face was reflected in the flashing lights of the TV, and it really was the girl I saw in the morning. At this moment, Lin Xia began to panic.
Why did you die? Isn’t there a lot of people around him? Why does no one call an ambulance? Is it my fault? Was a young life ruined just because I was worried about causing trouble? Do not! Not at all! It’s not me who is wrong! It is the fault of the onlookers! It is the fault of the whole society!
Lin Xia argued to herself, roaring blushing. When he recovered, he found that his body was drenched with sweat. He went to the bathroom and turned on the water heater. The oncoming hot water gave him a sense of relief, and the water rushed in his ears. He opened his mouth and took a big sip of water and spit it out, and then took a big sip of water and spit it out.
With a “hum~”, the whole world instantly lost its sound, and the sound of the water stopped. Lin Xia opened her eyes in a panic, his eyes flushed with the water flowing. He stretched out his hand and fumbled around, and finally touched the switch of the water heater and turned it off forcefully. The water flow stopped, but there was still no sound in the world, and the sound of “hum” was still repeatedReverberating in my head.
Is it tinnitus? Or did the ears get water?
Lin Xia began to pick up her ears with her hands, trying to get the water out.
“Help…me! You…why…don’t…help me?” The girl’s weak voice rang out for no apparent reason, as if it was close to Lin Xia’s ear.
“No!” Lin Xia yelled, ran out of the bathroom frantically, lowered her head and gasped for breath, the irritation of the eyes was slightly reduced, he was uneasy The ground opened his eyes, and the shadow on the ground outlined a strange shape, like a monster on his head.
Lin Xia felt unusually heavy on her head, and slowly moved to the mirror, her eyes gradually moving upward. In the mirror, a pair of severely dislocated hands was covering his ears. A naked girl was riding on his back, her tongue spit out, her right eye pulled a blood vessel and dropped to the position of her nose. Her nose broke and blood was flowing. The girl noticed his gaze, raised her head and looked at him in the mirror, opened her mouth, and gushed the black liquid along the mouth to his face.
“You… why… don’t you save me?”
