Nineteen years later

late autumn

cold rain,

A teenager sat in the coffee shop, staring out the window at the busy traffic and the bustling city.

Although there was a burst of warmth in the palm of his hand holding the cup, his heart was cold.......

Why?

Because of the hospital checklist in my arms.

Although the doctor flickered when he explained the examination list at that time, using many words such as "suspected", "possibly", "not ruled out", Fang Linyan still smelled a very ominous smell from it.

So, he then dialed the phone and called a customer who knew medical skills, and he didn't say that it was his own checklist, but only said that it was a friend's.

"Lung cancer is in the advanced stage, and it is basically hopeless. ”

Then, his mind was blank for more than half an hour, and he stood on the side of the road in a daze, and finally didn't know how to get home.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had sat in front of the bed, his hands were cold, and his heart was at a loss. He went to the coffee shop downstairs as usual, ordered a cup of coffee, and then his brain gradually came to his senses.

Suddenly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained all of a sudden, he fell to the ground, covered his face tightly with both hands, and made a whimpering sound:

"I don't want to die.......... I'm only nineteen!"

For Fang Linyan, this late autumn November was the longest month in his life, first of all, the death of his relatives, and then just after the funeral, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

Although Fang Linyan has suffered setbacks since he was a child, and his nerves have been trained to be tough enough, in the face of such continuous heavy blows, he also collapsed directly, and it took two days in the rental house to recover, but in the face of the great horror between life and death, he would still intermittently lose control of his emotions.

But who is not like this, silently drifting in the distance, occasionally screaming and crying, screaming to the sky and breaking out of gaffe, and finally gradually cooling, numbly gritting his teeth and struggling in this indifferent world?

Cold eyes, cold nights, cold rain, cold rain, in this month, Fang Linyan has suffered too many white eyes, too much pressure, he has not completely collapsed, he is really already psychologically strong, the world is inevitably too harsh and thin for him, but he still gritted his teeth and held on with the tenacity of a cockroach!

After a while, Fang Linyan stood up again, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and finally readjusted his state. He coughed a few times, frowning and obviously holding back the pain, and after searching around the house, he found half a beef jerky that had already regained some moisture.

Although Fang Linyan had no appetite at all, he still gritted his teeth and ate the leftover beef jerky bit by bit. If someone was around, they would feel that Fang Linyan was frowning and tearing food with his teeth, like a wolf.

A hungry wolf who was cornered in a snowstorm and still bared his teeth and fried his hair!!

It's wild, but it's dangerous!

In Fang Linyan's heart, there is always one sentence in mind:

What doesn't kill us, it only makes us stronger!

After eating, Lin Yan took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that he had received a sum of money, and just wanted to go out, when suddenly a violent cough hit, making him lean against the wall all of a sudden, coughing heart-rending and almost coughing out all his internal organs.

After a while, Fang Linyan gasped again and straightened up, the corners of his mouth were already obviously bleeding blood, and the palm of the hand that covered his mouth was even more bloodstained. He tore a piece of paper to wipe the blood off, gave himself a pill, and then walked out the door weakly.

The supermarket on the corner is still open, but there is a light rain in the sky, and the cold raindrops mixed with the cold wind fall on people's bodies, and there is a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Even the person holding the umbrella is shrunk his head or neck, and his steps are hurried.

Because this road is relatively remote, the installed cameras and electronic eyes have long been damaged, and this is still a slum, and the attention above is not enough, so many overloaded trucks and slag trucks are unscrupulously speeding through this road, making a loud booming sound, which can be called a rampage, and the road surface is also seriously damaged.

Fang Linyan walked on the road with an indifferent expression, and five minutes later came to the supermarket and began to purchase.

"Big Food Bucket Instant Noodles ........ a Box"

"Dried noodles (temporary insurance promotion) ten catties"

"A bag of beef jerky (for nutrition)"

"One pack of bean paste (noodle seasoning)"

“.........”

It can be seen that these things purchased by Fang Linyan were simply bought for the sake of being fed, why did he save so much? It was because he had previously treated Uncle Xu, who had adopted him, and when he was holding a funeral, he had borrowed a lot of foreign debts, adding up to more than 100,000 yuan.

Although Fang Linyan had a very difficult life in his childhood and youth, and there was a sense of anger in his heart, when his outlook on life was formed, he was deeply influenced by the honest and sincere Uncle Xu. So he had an obsession in his heart at this time, even if he was terminally ill and really incurable, he would pay off his debts before he died. In addition, the boss that Fang Linyan met before at this time was an iron rooster, which was why he was so economical.

After quickly buying all the things he needed, Fang Linyan carried the things and planned to go to the cashier to pay, but at this time he suddenly felt some stomach pain, so he went to the bathroom of the supermarket.

The miserable white light was projected from above, the washbasin was empty, after Fang Linyan washed his hands, he habitually patted his face with cold water to refresh himself, this is a habit he has formed after working in the garage for several years, but when he looked up at the opposite mirror, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and an indescribable feeling of fear instantly enveloped his whole body!!

It turned out that Fang Linyan didn't see his face in the mirror!

The place that was supposed to be a mirror was actually shrouded in a dense black cloud vortex! Not only that, but from the whirlpool, a palm covered in scars and blood stretched out, grabbed Fang Linyan's neck and pulled him forward fiercely.

Fang Linyan only felt a blazing sharp pain coming from the place where he was grabbed in his neck, as if he had been branded with a soldering iron! He had no strength all over his body, or to be precise, the strength he possessed had no ability to resist in front of the blood-colored palm.

Just when Fang Linyan's face was about to hit the black cloud whirlpool, he suddenly found that a crazy blood-red eyeball appeared in the whirlpool, that eyeball looked like it was dug out of the eye socket, there were remnants of scarlet tissue around the eyeball, which was full of blood, and the deep pupils seemed to have a huge attraction, Fang Linyan's eyes made contact with one of them, and immediately gave birth to a feeling of spinning in the clouds, and then the whole person directly lost consciousness and didn't know anything.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly Fang Linyan felt a sharp and incomparably stabbing pain in his chest, and the whole person suddenly twitched, and recovered in the whirlwind.

Then he found himself still standing in front of the sink, he gasped a few times, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked around, only to find that there were no blood-scarred palms, no swirls of dense black mist, and no bloodshot eyes.

Only the quiet bathroom, the sound of water dripping from the faucet, and the gentle white light above my head, I kept my hands on the washstand, staring at the mirror in front of me, as if what I had experienced before was a complete hallucination!

Fang Linyan was stunned for a while, then walked out of the door and picked up the shopping basket and planned to go to the cashier to pay, but he was stunned when he walked out of the bathroom, because he saw that the staff here had already begun to mop the floor and clean up the shelves.

This is an ordinary thing, but it means that it is almost half past nine at this time, because the supermarket is closed at ten o'clock, in order to get off work on time, these sales guides must be cleaned in advance.

However, Fang Linyan remembered clearly that he went out at half past seven. Because when I left, the TV in the commissary at the door was playing the CCAV weather forecast, and it would not take more than 20 minutes to walk from my home to the supermarket....... I stayed for almost an hour and a half!!

Such a mysterious thing suddenly made the cold hairs on Fang Linyan's back stand upside down.

"It's ....... It can't be!"

If he really stood on the sink with his hands propped up for an hour and a half, then the people in the supermarket would have come to check it a long time ago, at least not with a face that now sees him indifferent.

What happened in this hour and a half?
