Coma is one of the first acts of self-preservation in human beings, but it often has no practical effect, because what happens afterwards is more uncontrollable.

Just when it was a critical moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the rear: "After so many years, you still dare to harm people!"

The old woman was about to succeed, but the sound interrupted her movements, and she saw a figure striding towards her with a chain in her hand.

"Hmph, what dares to conceive my good deeds, wait until I even accept it with you. The old woman scolded in a low voice, and continued to walk towards Hu Fei.

Who knew that as soon as she moved, the figure also moved, and the chains in her hands rolled up quickly, wrapping Hu Fei tightly in an airtight manner.

Before the old woman's withered hand could retract, when she touched the chain, she stabbed violently, and a puff of white smoke appeared, and she suddenly retracted her hand with a scream.

The figure snorted coldly: "If you are obsessed with it again, believe it or not, I will seal the river and fill the soil, find out the objects you have sunk at the bottom of the river, and burn them!"

The old woman seemed to be extremely frightened when she heard this, and reluctantly glanced at Hu Fei again, retreated leisurely, snorted angrily, and then disappeared under the dark water, never to be seen again.

I don't know how long it took, Hu Fei exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes.

Fang saw that the ghostly old woman in front of him had long since disappeared, and only a figure as straight as a green pine stood beside him.

Take a closer look, the man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, plump nose and thin lips, is the middle-aged man he met in the alley that day.

"Uncle, why are you here?" The panic just now made Hu Fei's mind dizzy, and even his sentences were a little confused.

When the middle-aged man saw that he was awake, he seemed to be very helpless and asked, "How are you?"

Exactly the same four words, that day in the alley, the middle-aged man shot back a group of little hooligans, and he asked such a sentence.

Hu Fei got up from the ground and dusted off his body, "Uncle, this is the second time you have saved me, thank you." ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but his eyes were looking into the distance, gradually merging with the street lamp, and the resolute edges and corners became a little softer.

"Uncle?" Hu Fei called out twice more beside him.

"Hmm. The middle-aged man came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled: "I remember some of the past." ”

Hu Fei still looked around a little worriedly, "Uncle, do you know what happened to me?"

The middle-aged man tilted his head slightly, "What's the matter?"

"Don't lie to me. Hu Fei cried out in pain: "I fainted just now, didn't you save me?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly and instructed: "You are undecided, now is not the time to speak, come to the city library to find me at six o'clock tonight." ”

Hu Fei stood in place in confusion, although countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but the other party came and went in a hurry, so he had to ask in a hurry: "Uncle, what do you call it?"

In the distance, two words slowly floated in the darkness, "Cold." ”

If someone else is so frightened, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to live a normal life, but Hu Fei, who has not rested for two consecutive days, is very excited, and he spends his seconds in school until the end of school, and he is the first to rush out of the class and go straight to the city library.

The H City Library has been established for a long time, and now it has been open to the public, and the collection of books is not rich, but it marks the changes and ups and downs of the city.

Pushing open the door full of age, the library was unusually quiet, a few people occupied a table, and the administrator was also sleepy at the front desk.

It is no longer the era of paper books, even Hu Fei, in addition to novels and textbooks, he usually does not have the habit of reading books and newspapers.

Finding a corner and sitting down, Hu Fei carefully deduced what had happened in the past few days from his mind: Wu Hai, who was bullied by the campus, died by the river, but found himself by the ghost bed for two consecutive nights, in order to find out the reason for the incident, the ghost old woman he met by the river almost lost his life.

There is no way to explain what is happening now, why is it that the person who can see the ghost is himself, and if this continues, in the days to come, he will have to share a room with the ghost when he eats, sleeps, and goes to the toilet? When he takes a bus or goes to the elevator, he has to squeeze around with the ghost, so he will be scared to pee his pants.

Thinking of this, Hu Fei couldn't help but shudder, and at this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Hu Fei was an agitated spirit, and when he looked back, he was the middle-aged man who was cold.

Soothing his little heart beating violently, Hu Fei gasped: "Uncle Leng, people are scary and scared to death." ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak, sat down next to Hu Fei, put the thick stack of books he was holding on the table, and threw over a yellowed newspaper.

Hu Fei took it for some reason, read it carefully, and finally in the corner of the newspaper, he was attracted by a case news.

The date of the case was 30 years ago, when the riverside had not yet been built, but only a low-lying river loop, and a citizen found the body of an elderly woman during an early morning exercise, the body was hit the face, and the facial features were blurred.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the police immediately cordoned off the scene and opened a case for investigation.

Although communications were not very developed at that time, the news was still spreading, and for a while, the residents of the nearby urban area were panicked, and these public opinions, coupled with the unrecognizable face of the corpse, made the investigation of the case extremely difficult.

After the systematic investigation, there was no result, and in desperation, the police had to choose the way to find a needle in a haystack, door-to-door investigation, until half a year later, finally locked a family on the edge of the city, this family is not a local household, only moved to H City two years ago, because the household registration has not been moved in, and there is little communication with people, so almost no one can tell the details of this family.

According to the description of nearby neighbors, the family often made a lot of noise at night, and then the man would cry in front of the door, and it lasted for about half a year.

With this clue, the police immediately launched a strict interrogation of him.

After many verifications by the police, the couple's old family did confirm that there was also an elderly woman who moved with them at the time.

Seeing that there was no way to deny the matter, the man finally cried and confessed the crime, which made the truth of the case revealed.

It turned out that the old man was sick in bed before her death and couldn't go out, so even the neighbors didn't see her.

Because he is seriously ill and unable to take care of himself, the old man is quite bitter and mean on weekdays, as the so-called long-term illness bed has no filial son, and the gap between the old man and his daughter-in-law in the support process is getting deeper and deeper.

One day, the old man had a quarrel with his daughter-in-law, between the fierce quarrels, the thin old man did not know where the strength came from, he actually climbed out of bed with his arms to beat his daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law pushed the old man in anger.

The daughter-in-law was also frightened afterwards, and in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, she cruelly smashed the old man's face with a stone, and finally sank to the bottom of the river.

Seeing this, a layer of cold sweat instantly rose up on Hu Fei's spine, "So, the old woman by the river yesterday was the victim of this case back then?"

Leng Yan nodded slowly.

"But isn't it great to be a ghost? I have no grievances with her, why would she harm me?"

"Because you can see her. He stared at Hu Fei coldly and meaningfully.

"But you can see her too, why doesn't the ghost come to hurt you, yes, she can't beat you. Hu Fei sighed dejectedly, his face was greener than bitter melon, "Uncle Leng, can you explain what happened to me?"

"Your friend's death is but an opportunity to awaken your left eye. ”

"Why me?" Hu Fei cried out angrily.

"There is no one like you, but there is no one in all. He asked solemnly, "Do you think there is any difference between all living beings in the world?"

Hu Fei scratched his head and said in a low voice: "Tall, short, fat and thin, rich and poor, smart and dull, good and evil." ”

Leng Yan nodded, "On the surface, it is indeed like what you said, but there are differences between them, and the reason why the talent came must also have his reason." ”

"Wait. Hu Fei waved his hand again and again in confusion, "I don't understand." ”

"You can read these books cursoly when you go back, and I'll explain them to you tomorrow. ”

"Uncle Leng, can I not have this ability?"

"Don't be afraid. To be precise, it's your left eye, which is unique in its ability to capture energy. Leng Yan smiled rarely, and said softly: "I will accompany you to master this ability as soon as possible." ”

Hu Fei nodded as if he didn't understand, his face was full of thousands of emotions, joy, worry, surprise, and fear, and he muttered: "To be precise, it's still hell......"

"At the beginning of your awakening. "With your current physical condition, you can't take too much of the load of energy, which means that you can no longer use your left eye at will." ”

Hu Fei waved his hand and said: "It's a good thing that I can't see ghosts, but I can't close my eyes all day, I can't be hit and killed when I cross the street." ”

Leng Yan seemed to know that he had this question, and took out something from his arms and handed it over, "Take it." ”

Hu Fei took it, but saw that the thing turned out to be an eye patch, "Uncle Leng, I don't have trachoma, do you have to bring this thing?"

Leng Yan nodded unquestioningly, "Otherwise, you will die sooner than you died." ”

Hearing this, Hu Fei had no choice but to put the blindfold on his face, he was really uncomfortable at first, and after thinking about it, he suddenly exclaimed: "Uncle Leng, but Xiaopang's case has not been investigated clearly!"

In the quiet library, he called out like this, which attracted many people to look sideways.

Leng Yan didn't raise his eyelids, but just asked, "Isn't it possible for you to investigate your friend's affairs without your left eye?"

Hu Fei was stunned by his words, and hung his head in frustration, "I just want to find out Xiaopang's grievances, what else can I do now besides this ability?"

"If you only think about relying on ability, when will you be able to harness it?"

Hu Fei was stunned again, chewing the meaning of the cold words.

"I repeat, your ability is not to see ghosts, the world calls the dead ghosts, but in fact it is just another condensation of energy. After all, he had just made a noise with others, and after saying this, Leng Yan had already stood up and walked towards the door of the library.

Hu Fei hurriedly picked up the stack of books and got up to follow.

Let's listen to Leng Yan continued: "Of course, soul energy can be attached to the body when people are alive, but when the human body dies, the soul, like all the energy in the world, becomes all kinds of particles and gradually dissipates. ”

Hearing this, Hu Fei was even more puzzled and asked, "But what can I do to communicate with the soul? How can I investigate the cause of Xiaopang's death?"

After all, his learning and cognition since childhood could not explain what happened to him, and now Hu Fei only feels unprecedentedly dazed, like a newborn baby, and can only regard coldness as the only life-saving straw.

"Under what circumstances do you think the soul will completely die?" he stopped coldly and looked at Hu Fei with a straight look and asked.

For some reason, Hu Fei suddenly thought of his father, whom he had never seen, and replied seriously: "I think it starts with all the living people completely forgetting this soul." ”

Leng Yan showed a teachable smile, "People, animals, plants and trees, if someone thinks about it, it will not be in vain to live this life." As he spoke, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his body and handed it over.

In today's era, there are still people who use bamboo slips to record, Hu Fei took it in confusion, only to see that the bamboo slips are full of strange patterns of various colors, and some are even blurry and difficult to distinguish, thinking that it must be something of some years. When it was unfolded, the part inside was very well kept.

After a cursory look, I saw a sentence written in standard simplified Chinese characters at the very front of the bamboo slip: the left eye is beginning to appear, and it can be observed and puzzled, and it can be practiced as a method, and I hope that future generations will remember it and destroy it. Recorded by, Hu Yifeng.

A few simple words, but like lightning hit Hu Fei's mind, the only thing he knew about his mysterious father was only one name: Hu Yifeng.

"Is this my dad's thing?" Hu Fei only felt that his voice was a little trembling, and he could only reluctantly ask this question.

Leng Yan nodded, "This is just the beginning, and I will hand over the rest to you slowly." ”

"But why use bamboo slips?" Hu Fei only felt that he had a stomach full of questions that he couldn't ask, but he just said such an inconsequential sentence, "How convenient it is to use paper, maybe there is a photo left for me." ”

Leng Yan understood what he meant, and his expression changed several times, and finally sighed slightly, "I know you have a lot of questions, but I can't explain the reason to you right now." You also have to promise me that you will not mention this to anyone, including your mother, without my permission, can you do it?"

Although Hu Fei was puzzled, he really wanted to know everything about his father, thought for a moment, nodded silently, and said sincerely: "No matter what, Uncle Leng, thank you for saving me." ”

Seeing Hu Fei's sincere thanks for restraining his doubts, there was a touch of relief in his cold eyes, and then he took out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his body and handed it over, "There is my number here, I will contact you tomorrow." ”

Hu Fei took the brick-like mobile phone, and it felt quite good to hold it in his hand, and when he looked up again, the cold figure had slowly left in the sunset, and the resolute back in the distance was slightly softer.
