At 1:30 p.m. on April 10, 1979, the arched bridge of the county's Zhuangyuan Bridge was crushed by a coal truck, causing a collapse.
This time happened to be the rush hour for going to work and school, and most of the people on the bridge fell into the river below, with very tragic consequences.
When Shi Zhentang mentioned the words Zhuangyuan Bridge while lying on the hospital bed, these words suddenly flashed through Tian Yuzhu's mind.
Like the headline of a black and white newspaper, it flashed through my memory very clearly.
She was always confused as to why she didn't remember it specifically when she watched it, but when it was about to happen, she would remember even the time and minute.
When she saw Li Shengli earlier, she originally wanted him to drive her there.
But when you think about how to explain it afterwards, it doesn't make sense at all.
What's more, how would she solve the problem when she got there and tell everyone passing by that the bridge was going to collapse?
Tian Yuzhu finally chose to take a shortcut through the alley. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the nurses' station and saw that there were still twenty minutes before the incident.
She walked through the alley, thinking about countermeasures while walking hurriedly.
Saying it out loud definitely wouldn't work. She'd be lucky enough if people didn't think she was crazy!
Telling the relevant departments will not work either.
By the time these people are persuaded and the information is passed down level by level, it will be too late.
So when things reach a critical juncture and still cannot be resolved, the only option is to procrastinate.
Yes, tow it, as long as we can find the coal truck.
There is only one way to stop the huge coal truck.
Just as Tian Yuzhu reached the bridgehead, the overloaded coal truck came rushing towards her.
The veteran driver relied on his rich experience and not only pulled the truck full, but also sped along the way.
Tian Yuzhu had no choice but to take the risk. She hurried to the road in front of the bridge and opened her arms to block it.
At this time, the distance between the truck and the bridge was at least fifty meters. The driver suddenly saw someone standing in the middle of the road blocking the way, and was so scared that he slammed on the brakes.
squeak!
The car made a sharp scream and finally stopped one meter in front of Tian Yuzhu.
This scene scared passers-by half to death.
"That woman must be crazy, why did she suddenly stand in the middle of the road?"
"I'm afraid he's looking for death. He wants to make money from the driver this way."
"What a shameless person."
The driver was so frightened after such a sudden brake that he leaned on the steering wheel for a while to calm down before angrily opening the car door and jumping out.
"Are you fucking sick? Why are you suddenly running into the middle of the road to hurt people?"
He walked up to Tian Yuzhu and started swearing like crazy.
Tian Yuzhu didn't take his words to heart. Instead, she remained calm and said, "Zhuangyuan Bridge is an ancient bridge. Your coal truck is too heavy to pass over it. It will collapse."
First of all, people of this generation have no awareness of overloading.
People don’t have much idea about protecting ancient bridges. If you really ask, most people may think that whoever breaks it should repair it.
I never thought about the consequences of a collapsed bridge, and ancient bridges are generally difficult to repair.
The reason why Tian Yuzhu said this at this time was that she wanted to tell everyone intuitively what the consequences would be.
"Zhuangyuan Bridge is the feng shui of the county. Throughout the ages, there have always been children with outstanding academic performance among the common people in our county. If this bridge is broken, there will never be such children again."
"Is it true?" Tian Yuzhu's half-true and half-false words made the onlookers feel a little more worried.
Especially the older people pay more attention to feng shui and beliefs.
Suddenly, there was a flurry of discussion behind her, all arguing about whether she was right or not.
The square-faced driver in front of him was incredulous. "Fuck you, don't give me that shit. I don't give a damn about feng shui. Get out of my way and let me pass."
"I will never let you pass. In fact, you can take a detour."
No matter how the driver reacted or how many questions people were asking behind her, Tian Yuzhu refused to give in.
The square-faced man's face flushed with anxiety: "If I take a detour, I'll have to walk several more kilometers. Besides, why can others pass but I can't?"
"Because your car is the most loaded and the heaviest, the bridge won't be able to bear it."
"Hey, little girl, you really want to meddle in other people's business today, right? Then I'll show you what it means to meddle in other people's business."
As he spoke, the driver wanted to reach out and pull the person away.
No matter what, he was going to drag Tian Yuzhu aside. This was simply nonsense and directly affected his ability to make money.
As a result, the hand that was stretched out was clamped in mid-air: "Are you tired of living?"
Li Shengli drove around looking for her anxiously. When he passed by here, he saw Tian Yuzhu arguing with someone.
He quickly stopped the jeep and ran over, just in time to grab the square-faced man's fist.
When the other party saw that it was a soldier, he quickly changed his attitude: "Oh, soldier comrade, please help me to uphold justice. This woman is crazy and won't let me pass through here for no reason."
Tian Yuzhu didn't expect Li Shengli to appear, so she quickly changed her strategy: "You almost bumped into me. If I hadn't said that, you would have run away long ago."
"What? What did you say? Hey, Auntie, can you please be reasonable? It was you who ran into the middle of the road by yourself. So many people saw it."
The driver was so anxious that his tongue was tied.
This is not the case at all. This woman is lying with her eyes open.
He quickly asked others to testify for him, but now the people were a little hesitant.
The key lies in the word Feng Shui. Everyone here is a parent and a student. Who doesn’t want to be the top student in high school in the future?
What if you really break the bridge?
In short, with such inner conflict, no one was willing to stand up and help speak.
Li Shengli looked at the long brake marks on the road and was terrified: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
The driver was dumbfounded. They actually knew each other.
He immediately thought that it was over and that he must be siding with his sister-in-law.
Tian Yuzhu was determined to continue playing dirty. "He scared me a lot, and he cursed me. He cursed me so nastily. You saw it too. He even wanted to hit me. I want an explanation today no matter what."
Li Shengli glared at the driver and grabbed him by the collar: "Pull the car over and come with me to the police station."
He really wanted to beat someone up, but there were so many eyes watching him, and he was wearing a military uniform, so he had to restrain himself.
Guozi was dumbfounded: "Damn it, are you a soldier crazy?"
Well, you even scold soldiers?
The people immediately stood on Li Shengli's side.
"What kind of character is this? How can you insult soldiers?"
"Move your car out of our way. Go to the police station and reflect on your actions."
Seeing that the voices of the people were getting louder and louder, the square-faced man felt that he was really unlucky today.
Okay, he thought that if he wanted to resolve this matter, he could only go to the Public Security Bureau. He hoped that the police officers there would give him justice.
He immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, soldier comrade, I'll move the car now, and we'll go to the police station to talk it out."
