Chapter 20 Tai Mo Shan Country Park (2) Midnight Express

Li Dabang was in charge of the Huanggangshan public housing project in Fanling (Cheung Wah Village) in 1982. At that time, the electrified train only reached Tai Po, and the frequency was chaotic, and the Tolo Harbor Highway was still in the stage of reclamation, leaving Fanling from the urban area. There are only two ways to go: take Tai Po Highway to Sha Tin, cross the Lion Rock Tunnel and then exit Kowloon Tong, and the other is to turn from Fan Kam Highway to Tsuen Kam Highway and exit Tai Wo Hau.The former takes about 20 minutes by car, but often gets stuck in traffic and loses budget. The latter passes through Lam Tsuen Country Park and Tai Mo Shan Country Park. It takes 40 minutes by car, but the scenery on the road is very good, but only before sunset.After sunset, it is also a pleasure to drive fast in the countryside.Sometimes, Li Dabang does not need to go to science and engineering to attend classes, but will drive the car to Tai Mao Shan to watch the stars and the moon, which is even more rare and leisurely.However, when driving at night, one must always be careful, especially in the Tai Mo Shan Country Park, and beware of two vehicles and two persons. This is the experience of many drivers.

The two cars refer to a single-decker bus and a float to pick up the bride, while the two refer to a woman in white and her child. This is also the longest-spread story, and it is said to be older than the ghost of Hongshui Bridge. be early. Truck drivers are most likely to hit the white-clothed mother and son.Once a truck driver saw a mother and child waiting for the bus by the side of the road. He thought that in the dark night in the outskirts, the mother and child should wait. He couldn't bear it, so he stopped and let the mother and child sit on the tailgate. Drive out of Dawokou without stopping on the way.When the car arrived at Mumianxia Village, the driver thought it was better to ask the two of them their destination, maybe they didn't need to go out of the city, so they would be good people in vain.However, apart from the cargo, there was no one inside the tail bucket.It is impossible for the mother and child to get off the car at the high speed, and it is also impossible for them to fall into the car. Otherwise, the following vehicles must have a warning.

Another driver couldn't make room to pick up the mother and child due to too much cargo in the car, so he ignored the gesture of the woman in white. Unexpectedly, when the car drove to another corner, the mother and child appeared again. , and rushed out of the middle of the road, the driver hurriedly braked, but still felt that the two were knocked down, but got out of the car to check, but they were nowhere to be seen! An unladen flat-bed truck drove along the Tsuen Kam Highway out of Tai Wo Hau. After passing Shek Kong, I saw a mother and child sitting on the flat-bed in the rear view mirror, but when I turned around, I couldn't see the two of them. The driver knew that he was encountering a ghost, so he remained calm and kept driving.After finally getting to Chuanlong, he dared to glance in the rear mirror, but the mother and son had disappeared, and the driver was covered in cold sweat. He rested in Chuanlong's tea room for a long time before he dared to get on the bus.

The origins of the mother and child vary from person to person. The residents of Chuanlong said that they were originally villagers from Shangcun. Once they took a village car (a kind of truck modified to carry villagers), the village car broke down on the way, and the mother and child were separated. When a person was waiting for other vehicles, he was hit by a truck and died, but the truck that caused the accident went away regardless, so his ghost lingered. However, he did not do any evil deeds, but just scared the driver That's all. That night float was the culprit of many traffic accidents on Tsuen Kam Highway and Tai Mo Shan Road!Li Dabang also suffered from it.

On that day, the staff of Xianghua Village had dinner in Shangcaiyuan Village after work, and then left the city in two groups in the contractor's RV.While driving, I learned from the radio broadcast that Tai Po Highway was seriously congested due to a car rollover accident near Chinese University, so I decided to take Fan Kam Highway and go to Tsuen Wan via Tsuen Kam Highway.At that time, the Tsuen Wan Line of the MTR had just opened to traffic. When the car was driving near Damaoshan Road, suddenly a red car rushed out from Damaoshan Road, crossed the double white lines, and headed towards the caravan where Li Dabang was sitting.This red RV, covered with colorful balls and wrapped with ribbons, seems to be a float for picking up brides.It was too late, but it was so fast at that time, the float was coming very quickly, but fortunately the driver reacted very quickly, at the very moment, he turned his car onto the grass, but luckily the speed was not fast, and there were no big trees blocking him, so he quickly stopped the caravan, but everyone in the car People were in a panic, and the companions who followed saw that everyone was safe, and immediately shouted and cursed at the float, but there were people in the float cheering and screaming, gloating.One of the colleagues has a very violent temper, and he is an auxiliary police officer and a driver of the Automobile Club. Immediately, he couldn't hold back and chased the float with a speeding car.

Colleagues were driving in the dark and approached the float several times, but they were always cut right and left by the float, and died on the road or were thrown away by the speeding car.However, my colleagues were very surprised. There were several times when the float should have collided with the oncoming vehicle, but there was no accident or danger.The float seemed to continue to run wildly without any fear, and after passing the stone hill, it lost sight of the float. However, he had memorized the license plate of the float, so he would not worry about finding the driver to settle the score.

However, a few days later, colleagues reported the results obtained from the Ministry of Communications, and everyone was stunned. From the license plate, the float turned out to be a car that crashed in a traffic accident in 1980. All four people on board, including the driver, were killed.The deceased were two men and two women. The relationship was the groom, the best man and two Jian Chuanshi, all of whom were villagers from a certain village in Yuen Long. The car accident happened the night before the wedding. The groom's brothers arranged the bride's car after dinner. Afterwards, the groomsmen suggested a car ride and brought the groom and two of them together. The four of them drank wine during dinner. .The float shuttled back and forth on Linjin Highway, Kam Tin Highway and Tsuen Kam Highway, and finally hit a big tree near the Guanyin Mountain on Tsuen Kam Highway. He died, and the other three were caught in the pile of scrap metal and died on the spot.

After the car accident, the float was reimbursed and no one registered to use the license plate.According to the records of the Ministry of Communications, there are many cases of traffic accidents where cars twisted and hit trees, or crashed down slopes, or even collided with oncoming vehicles on Kam Tin Highway, Lam Kam Highway and Tsuen Kam Highway. Dodge a red float! An experienced driver told the way to deal with this night float: shoot at this caravan with high lights.Because the glare can make ghost eyes lose their vision, the RV will lose control.It is Yefeiye, you will not know until you practice it.However, if you encounter that single-decker bus, this high-light method may not be used.

The incident dates back to an early morning more than 20 years ago. A single-decker bus leaving Yuen Long and heading for maintenance at Sheung Shui Station was unable to turn around when it reached a fork in Lam Kam Road. He rushed straight to a taxi on the side of the road, and the bus exploded and caught fire, killing four of the taxi's family and the bus driver.After that, rumors about single-decker buses spread on Linjin Highway. There was a driver following a single-decker bus, but he could not find a chance to climb the head, and the following vehicle kept beeping, which made the driver very embarrassed. After turning a sharp bend on Linjin Highway, there was a long straight road ahead. It was a good opportunity to climb the head, but after the turn, the bus disappeared without a trace, and the car that came after said that the driver drove slowly for no reason, causing a traffic queue behind him. The driver explained to everyone that it was a single-decker bus Blocked the line of sight, but no one followed the driver to see the single-decker bus.

Someone's car stalled on the road, and when he saw a bus passing by, he waved to stop him, and the bus driver let him get on the bus.There were a few passengers sitting sparsely on the bus. After the person sat down, he closed his eyes and rested his mind. He fell asleep like this for a while, and suddenly felt unbearably hot, as if he was in a stove. When he woke up, he found that he was sitting on the side of the road. I learned that it was where Shido used to be. This single-decker bus is said to still shuttle on the road from Yuen Long to Wo Hop Shek Road, serving alternative villagers.If you encounter it by chance, it is easy to recognize it, because it is a very old single-decker bus, which has been eliminated for more than ten years. Decide for yourself!
