Chapter 55: An Eyeball
At night, I was alone in a familiar rental house, drizzling outside, and the house was cold and damp. Pen & fun & Ge www.biquge.infoS city, there will be no snow in winter, and the winter in the south is a cannibalistic to avoid the inevitable cold. In previous years, I would also buy a warm baby, spread a thick blanket to keep out the cold, since this year I moved to live with Manji's father, I secretly rejoiced that this year finally had a living warm baby can continue to heat, but until the winter here really came, this wish finally fell through.
I couldn't help but think back to the last night with him, my throat tightened a little, and I regretted why I didn't cherish that night's warmth, maybe everything was different. His own stupidity is really a thousand cuts and he can't solve his hatred. Before I knew it, the bitten lip was oozing blood.
I sighed. Recently, I sighed more than I have in my life. I called Lao Xie and planned to take another long vacation to sort out my own affairs.
The phone was connected, and my voice was hoarse, and I made my purpose clear to Lao Xie. I thought there would be a storm, but Lao Xie sighed deeply and said, "I went to you yesterday to make 8 calls, but you didn't answer, I thought I had to go to the funeral home to see you." Take good care of your health, let Wenya take over the work for the time being, and you can hand over the work content with her. After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Although Lao Xie's mouth stinks, she really heard some concern in her words, coupled with her previous style, she was able to approve the leave at this time, and she didn't make a big fuss, which was already love. I nodded gratefully, not caring if she could see it or not.
Early the next morning, I packed my bags and planned to go back to my hometown to find Youyou. Because at this time, I don't know who I can find again, and it just so happens that she needs me too, and I need her too.
Fortunately, now it's not a holiday, train tickets don't need to be grabbed, you can buy a sleeper on the same day, and it's No. 1, the middle berth. I simply packed up my toiletries and two sets of change of clothes, but the cotton clothes in winter were too thick, and this time I was heading north, so I still dragged a large suitcase.
Holding a large suitcase on the car, it is really hard enough. The box was almost half as tall as me, and the horizontal handle was broken last year, so I had to lift it vertically. I wasn't tall enough to make up my arms, and the way I bared my teeth and grinned must have seemed funny to others, but luckily there was no one around.
When I got in the car, I looked at it, and it was really desolate. The whole carriage was empty, and it was completely occupied by me. When I came to Shop No. 1 and stuffed the suitcase under the bed, I stood in the aisle and looked inside, thinking about the scene of going home for the Chinese New Year in the past, the scene of this carriage being crowded next to each other, the emptiness at the moment made people's hearts palpitate, wasn't it quarantined again?
I was stunned for a while, then I heard the sound of the suitcase dragging behind me, and finally there were still people with me, I looked back expectantly, at this time people are most afraid of loneliness.
It was a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with short ear-length hair and bangs, still a student, with a beautiful face, and she smiled when she saw me. Holding a large suitcase to the block of shop 1-2, he leaned over to stuff the suitcase into the bottom of the bed, and saw that there was already a suitcase under the bed, and he was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, I hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, this is my suitcase, you see, why don't you stuff it in the opposite shop." ”
Hearing this, the girl stood up, as if hesitating, but still stuffed the suitcase under the No. 2 bunk, then sat down on the lower bunk of the No. 1 bunk, set up the pillow, pulled the quilt and lay down.
Seeing that she was doing it in one go, and didn't bother to say a word, I sat down in Bunk 2 with some stupidity. I thought I could have someone to talk to, but the other party seemed to be a little withdrawn. It's also good to sit on the train by yourself, listen to songs, and think quietly. So I plugged in my headphones, put on music, moved to the side of the bed, and fell into deep thought.
Until the train started, no one came up to the carriage. The girl fell asleep as soon as she got on the bus, and it wasn't until the flight attendant came to change the ticket that she got up to change the ticket, and the next second she lay down and fell asleep.
Soon, I was a little tired from sitting, so I climbed into the middle bunk and went to sleep. The train swayed forward, making a rhythmic sound that weaved into the roughest lullaby, but it was very useful, and I had not slept well for several days, and I slipped into a deep sleep.
In my dream, Daddy Manji, covered in blood, stood beside my bedside, his eyes full of melancholy, and asked me repeatedly: "Why don't you believe me?" Why don't you believe me? "I was crying desperately, and I wanted to reach out and hug him and tell him that I was sorry, it was all my fault, but my body couldn't move, and I couldn't make a sound in my throat. After a while, Manji's father gradually turned into Ruan Xiangyu again, his face was stained with blood, the big mouth on his head had a black scab, and he was holding Xiao Han's broken head in his hand, sneering at me. The knife on his chest had sunk into his chest entirely, leaving only the last section of the hilt and a small head in the socket of the heart. She stretched out her hand, clasped Xiao Han's eyeballs off, and handed them over, as if she wanted to give them to me as a gift. I felt nauseous, and something in my chest seemed to erupt. I sat up, my head almost hitting the bottom of the top bunk.
At this time, the lights of the carriage had been turned off, and only bright light came from the place where the carriage was jointed. I slept for a long time, but I only seemed to sleep for a short time, because I only dreamed of those two scenes. Dreaming is sometimes strange, you think that you have dreamed for a long time and almost live your life, but in fact it is only 5 minutes; Sometimes I feel like I've only slept for a while and have a dream, but time flies by a lot.
I don't know if it's air conditioning or heating in the train, it's a little stuffy. I had a nightmare just now, and I was sweating a lot on my back, and my throat was dry and itchy. I cleared my throat and rolled down to reach for the mineral water on the table. Picking it up, he twisted the cap of the bottle, and was about to take a big gulp, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of a round white ball floating up in the bottle. I was stunned, stopped moving, lifted the bottle and turned sideways to the place where the light came in to take a closer look, the round white ball was spinning in circles in the water, and suddenly, a black dot appeared on the white ball, and there were wisps of blood-like lines around it, this thing was clearly ...... An eyeball!
I threw away the mineral water bottle in my hand with an "ah", there was actually an eyeball in it?! Instantaneously, the heart was beating wildly.
I was in a state of panic when there was a sudden noise under the bed. I leaned over the bed and looked down, but saw the girl in the lower bunk picking up the bottle of mineral water with her hands and feet.
"Don't pick it up!" I cried out. The girl was stunned and looked up at me, but there was only one eye on the girl's face! On the other side of the eye, there is no eyeball, only a hollow black hole, a sunken eye socket, and a slightly drooping lower eyelid. It's really a wave of unevenness, and before I can calm down, a layer of goosebumps skimmed over my whole body. I covered my mouth and shrank back.
Then there was a sound from the lower bunk, as if the girl had picked up the mineral water bottle, and then the sound of the water flowing, and then a head poked over, and it was still the girl, but at this moment her face had returned to normal.
"You're a human or a ghost!" I shouted nervously.
The girl had an unusual expression on her face, bit her lip, and said quietly and quickly, "I'm sorry to scare you." I had an eye injury and had an eyeball removal surgery, so I wore a prosthetic eye that I would remove at night when I went to bed. I'm sorry I didn't know it was good, I scared you. After saying that, he shrank and disappeared.
I was dumbfounded, and my face instantly became hot. Ouch, what a fuss, the expression just now must have hurt her heart. I tried to calm my mind, and I lay on the edge of the bed and looked down to see that the girl had already re-entered the quilt, her body curled up and her head covered by the quilt.
At the moment, I felt extremely guilty. Such a delicate girl, if it weren't for the problem of her eyes, would have been very beautiful. What girl doesn't love beauty, she must be sad for a long time for the sake of her eyes, and maybe she will feel inferior because of it. I just asked people if they were humans or ghosts, for fear that it would hurt her bottom line. It's rare that she explained it to me so with such cultivation.
I leaned down and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for what I just said." ”
When the girl heard this, she exposed her head from the quilt, but she didn't turn around, but whispered, "It's okay." ”
Listening to her voice, it seems that she is no longer angry. I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, retracted myself, and lay on my back on my back. It's really not easy for people to live, and everyone has their own hardships.
From S city to L city, it takes more than 30 hours to take the train, take the train at noon, and arrive at the station at 6 p.m. the next day.
I woke up in the morning, washed up roughly, and came back to see that the girl had also gotten up. In order to make up for the previous abruptness, I took the initiative to say hello: "Get up, did you sleep well yesterday?" ”
She lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at me, and whispered, "It's okay." ”
"Where do you get off?"
"L City."
"You're also L City, huh? Coincidentally, so did I. It's cold in L City, do you have enough clothes? It's best to take it out and put it on before getting off. Otherwise, you will freeze to death when you get out of the car. I said enthusiastically.
"Oh. Good. Thank you. The girl smiled, and then looked up at me. She smiled innocently and shyly, and it was rare for a girl of her age to be so young. Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that I was really getting old.
"Are you all wearing clothes in your suitcase?" I touched her heel against the box she had tucked under the bed.
"Uh, yes." The girl looked at the suitcase, but her expression was a little unnatural, especially the prosthetic eye, staring at the box stiffly, as if it could penetrate the suitcase. Looking at this look, eighty percent of the money or valuable things are in the box, otherwise the girl's eyes would not be so vigilant.
I staggered my foot when the breakfast cart came rushing over. "Breakfast, porridge steamed bun eight-treasure porridge. There is no need. ”
"Porridge and buns." I haven't eaten since I slept in the car yesterday, and I haven't brought anything to eat, so my stomach is empty.
"Okay." The waiter quickly gave me steamed buns and porridge, turned around and asked the girl, "Would you like one too?" ”
The girl blushed and said no, but her tongue licked her lips unconsciously. I looked around, and she didn't have anything else to eat except the big suitcase under the bed, and she looked obviously hungry now, but she refused to buy food. Don't you even have money for breakfast?
Either way, I did have compassion. "Give this girl a copy too." With that, I handed over a double copy of the money.
"This ...... This ......" The girl's face became redder and redder, and I smiled and said, "When my sister makes amends to you." (To be continued.) )
