Hold up the day alone

Hold up the day alone

By TAMRIN LEEPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

A long-distance shuttle bus had been bumping along a rugged mountain road for more than three hours in a downpour when it suddenly dropped anchor. The people on the bus were very anxious.

The driver got off the bus with a frown on his face, tampered a few times, and immediately fled back. He was wearing a raincoat, but his shoes and trousers were dripping with rain and wind. The driver shook his head: "This old broken car, and put out the fire, please go down and push it."

Voice did not fall, the carriage immediately boiling up: "We spend money is a car, with what cart? You look like a bear in your raincoat, trying to give us all a cold."

The driver threw up his hands. "I didn't say push immediately. I didn't say I had to. Anyway, the car doesn't push, the gods can't fire. Do I want to go through this? The company gave me this stupid car."

"Why should we pay the same price for a car? What a wretched company! What a wretched company!" Heavy rain, originally did not have a good mood, this time the passengers psychological imbalance.

"Curse! Curse like hell!" The driver is not in the sun, "don't say so harsh, this country road condition is bad, who will put a good car here, why don't you go to the big city? I heard that even the nearest cars in the capital are not allowed on the road."

A word from one to the other led to a quarrel. The driver was alone, lazily closing his eyes, for the car would not start without a push. People have time, so spend it.

Just then, a young man in the back of the row interjected, "Are you going a long way out of the cart when you spend all the time arguing and complaining?"

"Oh, good man, high morals! Will you, will you?" The passengers almost all stood up. All the fire was directed at the young man.

The young man smiled apologetically at everyone. "I'll go." He stood up slowly, leaning on the back of his chair. A step, all eyes suddenly froze: the original young man a leg is prosthetic, no wonder he sat in the back row did not move!

The young man walked to the door and said, "Master, I dare not wait any longer. The rain is abnormal, afraid of a landslide!" At this time, the driver opened the door, he took the lead into the rain curtain...

There was no voice. But the whole car all stood up and got off silently. A girl could not reach her hand, so she held up the small umbrella she brought with her, to cover this, to cover that... No one was covered, and she was wet herself, as if it would have been a pity to do otherwise.

The car started at last. The car was dripping with water. The passengers were laughing and talking. They had just won the gold medal in some great competition.

Suddenly, the driver a cry of surprise, we look back along his eyes, all the soul! It turned out that the disabled young man was right. There was a landslide where he stopped just now, and the road turned into a hill!

Passengers some tears, some feeling, have to express gratitude to the young man, is really alone, not he took the lead into the rain, everyone at this moment has become a ghost wild ghost!

The young man said sheepishly, "I don't know anything about landslides. I was in a hurry to see Grandma. The landslide was made up to trick everyone into pushing."

After all, it was he who saved a busload of people. They thanked him and asked his grandmother what was wrong.

The young man said he was not visiting his own grandmother.

A young man and his partner went to work in the south, resulting in an industrial injury, his partner pushed him away, but he ran under the machine. The young man lost his right leg, but he survived. His poor friend was an orphan who had been raised by his grandmother. How would the old man live now that his grandson was gone? The young man was in a hurry to see his grandmother. He had to accompany the old man in his old age...

An hour later, the bus did not finish, the driver turned into the disabled youth to go to the mountain village. It was a joint decision of a busload of passengers, who insisted on accompanying the young man to visit the poor and envy-inducing grandmother...
