Chapter 18: The Truth

"Which one is right? How do these locks look exactly the same, which lock, which door?" ”

Lu Ran took a few keys and tried a few times at a door in front of him, but all of them were wrong.

"I can't open it, there are still so many doors......" Lu Ran felt a sense of despair about to climb into his heart.

"What are you doing?" the woman looked at Lu Ran out of the way.

"Don't you feel it? there's an earthquake, it's going to disappear here, I'm going to rescue your husband, it's too late!"

Listening to Lu Ran's words, she seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Save my husband? Oh no, is my husband going to die?" her thoughts seemed to become clear.

"My door is very special, we don't have a doorknob", she smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, "our wooden door is very simple, there is a wooden stick as a bolt inside, and on the outside of the door, and on the wall each nailed a large iron plate with holes, if someone is at home, use the bolt to close the door, and when no one is at home, use a big iron lock to lock the two iron plates." ”

While listening to her, Lu Ran looked at the countless doors on the left and right, and all of them had the same doorknob, the same as the circular rotating handle on the first floor.

As far as the eye can see, the doors in the field of vision can be seen clearly.

"How can there be the one she said has an iron lock on the outside and a deadbolt on the inside?"

Lu Ran stopped looking, and he said to the woman in front of him, "Can you get out of the way?"

The woman followed Lu Ran's meaning and moved to the side, revealing the door behind her.

"This door, there is no handle!"

The door in front of me was unlike the others.

The color of the whole door is the yellow color of ordinary wooden boards, not other dark red high-grade wooden boards, and the paint on the door has peeled off a little, and a real feeling of age comes to the face.

"It feels so good. ”

Lu Ran immediately felt relieved when he saw this door.

It's this door, it must be this door.

However, there is not an iron lock on this door.

"If there is someone inside, it is bolted with a deadbolt, and if there is no one outside, it is locked with an iron lock......

This sentence hovered in Lu Ran's ears again.

There's someone in there!

"Great, he must be here. ”

Lu Ran was delighted.

Found it, finally found it!

"I'm going in, and you'll see each other soon when I get him out. ”

Lu Ran confessed to the woman, turned around and pushed the wooden door hard.

The wooden door was loosened.

A gap was exposed.

Lu Ran also breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to push the door open completely.

The room was small. It's like a normal one-room rental house.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a bed leaning against the wall. The quilt hasn't been folded yet.

Not far from the bed, there is a wooden table, in front of the wooden table, there is a wooden back chair.

There was a man sitting on a chair with his back to Lu Ran.

That must be Huang Rui's father.

"I'm going to get him out of here quickly. Lu Ran thought to himself.

"Uncle Huang. ”

Lu Ran called.

But no one answered, and no one turned around.

"He seems to be concentrating on something, didn't he hear my voice?" Lu Ran wondered.

"Uncle, Uncle Huang?" Lu Ran called twice.

But the other party still hasn't looked back.

"Are his ears bad?" Lu Ran was puzzled in his heart, and planned to walk over and pull him, but time was running out.

"Hello, uncle, my name is Lu Ran. ”

As Lu Ran spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted it, but unexpectedly, the body he touched seemed to be very light, and the other party's arm was connected to the chair by Lu Ran, and it turned around from the back in an instant.

"Ahh

At that moment, Lu Ran seemed to see something unbelievable, his eyes widened, he exclaimed, and fainted!

……

When Lu Ran woke up again, he found himself sitting in a comfortable black office chair with a backrest.

Huang Rui, on the other hand, was lying on a leather sofa in front of him and slowly opened his eyes.

"When, when, when......"

Lu Ran looked up and saw that a wall clock on the wall had struck the bell, and the time was five o'clock.

Still in a trance, he couldn't tell whether it was five o'clock in the morning or five o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't know where he was now.

This place looks like an office, with a desk, some printing paper on the table, and in addition to the chair that Lu Ran is sitting on now, there are several chairs with the same backrest.

Next to the white wall was a couch that lay the one that had been separated since the fork in the road. Huang Rui, who has never been seen again.

"We, meet again?" Lu Ran couldn't believe it, "I remember, I went to save your father, he ......"

When Lu Ran said this, his mind instantly recalled the last picture before he lost consciousness.

"Ahh

Lu Ran hugged his head and screamed, and his chest palpitated.

He knew that he was really unprepared for that moment.

originally thought about saving Huang Rui's father, his father was obviously there, but when he turned the other party around, what he saw was a white bone!

A white skeleton sitting there.

"What's wrong with you, Dr. Lu?"

Huang Rui, who was sitting in front of him, saw Lu Ran suddenly screaming, he stretched out a hand, put it on Lu Ran's shoulder, and asked with concern.

Click.

At this moment, the closed door of this office was opened, and a police officer walked in from the outside.

It was the policeman who brought Huang Rui into the police station.

He heard a call outside the door, so he opened the door and came in to see.

"Doctor Lu", he said to Lu Ran: "You used this office for an afternoon, are you okay now?"

Lu Ran raised his head and looked at him, a little dazed. But soon, he reacted, and he finally remembered what had happened this long afternoon.

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you, I need a little more time, ten minutes, just ten minutes. ”

Lu Ran said to the police with a smile.

"Okay, I'll just wait. ”

The policeman was very reasonable, turned and went out, and closed the door again.

"Dr. Lu, thank you so much. ”

Huang Rui grabbed Lu Ran's hand and held it tightly, looking very happy and excited.

"I feel like I'm better", Huang Rui said yes, but hot and moist tears flowed from his eyes.

Lu Ran could see that this was not only joy and gratitude, but also the tears that kept falling from his eyes, but also the sadness that had been suppressed for many years.

He was sad.

What happened when I was a child, being looked down upon and misunderstood, the loss of my mother, and my poor father.

Lu Ran, as his counselor, can best understand his pain.

"By the way, I went to save his father, in order to save his father from the persecution of the man in black, why did his father become a pile of bones?"

Lu Ran still had doubts in his heart.

But he knew that Huang Rui had bravely faced a lot of things that he was unwilling to face before this afternoon, and he couldn't put too much pressure on him, so it was not good to continue to ask questions.

"My dad, my dad ......" Huang Rui also seemed to recall his father's affairs, and tears overflowed even more.

Lu Ran didn't speak, he waited, waiting for Huang Rui to have the courage to say it himself.

"Daddy, he's gone. Dad, after going out that day, he never came back. He's gone, leaving me alone, and I'm the only one......"

A man in his thirties cried bitterly in front of Lu Ran, crying like a child, but Lu Ran didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, he was happy for Huang Rui, and he was a little proud.

Not everyone has the courage to take on such a fate, especially when they are young.

He finally fully understood why Huang Rui always set up a maze for him and didn't let him get close to his father, because the truth was that his father was not at home at all, and his father had never come back since that day", he couldn't face it.

Lu Ran waited quietly, and when Huang Rui's feelings calmed down a little, he expressed his appreciation for Huang Rui's courage.

"Thank you so much for sharing with me, you bravely faced your life and I am sure you will be fine. ”

"I should thank you, thank you for treating me and giving me the courage to face what I am afraid of, and I will learn to accept it slowly. ”

"Well, you're right, you've taken an important first step to accept it. Lu Ran said with a smile, he thought that this consultation could be over.

"That's right, Dr. Lu. Your hypnotism is amazing! ”

Yes, hehe, Lao Tzu almost lost his life, can it be unreal!

Lu Ran secretly slandered and complained.
