A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and into the gray room. Ding Chuan woke up from his dream faintly, and for a while he was not used to the things in front of him, and he even had the illusion of not knowing where he was. After seeing the scene in front of him, I remembered that he had returned to the old house in his hometown.

Ding Chuan picked up his phone and glanced at it, 9 o'clock in the morning. If it was a normal day, he would wake up naturally at 7 o'clock. But now it's 9 o'clock, and he still feels dizzy and unconscious. Could it be the reason for sleeping in the living room? Ding Chuan asked himself in a muttering voice. He stretched, trying to sober himself up, but to no avail.

The sunlight outside looked good, so Ding Chuan walked to the window and opened the curtains. The sunlight outside the window illuminates this old house, which makes people feel a lot more refreshed.

When he arrived home yesterday, it was getting late, and Ding Chuan didn't take a closer look at the home he had left for many years. Today the light outside is very good, and the house is brightly illuminated. He found that the house was not what he had thought it would be, and that nothing had changed. Let's talk about the wallpaper on this wall, it was slightly yellowed when he left 10 years ago, but how does it look brand new now? With the mother's character, it is impossible to spend an extra penny for this old house.

The "Ding Dong" doorbell rang suddenly without warning.

Ding Chuan couldn't think of who else would come here at this time, but he still stepped forward and opened the door. When he saw the people outside the door, he was stunned at first, and then said a little unhappily: "Why are you here?"

The people outside the door were not polite to Ding Chuan, and walked in with a big grin and said, "I miss you!" People haven't seen you in almost a week. ”

It turned out that it was none other than Ding Chuan's current girlfriend and company secretary - Su Honghong.

"Something in the company?" Ding Chuan was obviously very unhappy with the appearance of this Su Honghong.

But Su Honghong was very attentive, she said gently: "No, everything is normal." Don't worry, I'm just here to see if there's anything I need help with. ”

Ding Chuan shook his head and said, "Is there anything you can help with?" As long as you don't mess with me! ”

"I'm here, don't be angry!" Su Honghong said in a loud voice.

Ding Chuan glanced at her and didn't have the heart to talk to her again. Su Honghong saw that Ding Chuan ignored herself, so she looked at the structure of the house and said, "Although the house is a little old, fortunately, the location is good." I saw it all when I came in just now, and there is an elementary and middle school in the vicinity. School district housing is sure to sell for a good price. ”

"Who said I'm going to sell this house?" Ding Chuan heard her idea of beating her mother's house, so he asked her sharply.

Who knew that Su Honghong didn't hear the attitude in Ding Chuan's words, and thought she was smart and said, "Do you need to talk about this?" Auntie is gone, and your company is in Shanghai again. If this house is not sold, is it possible to rent it out? I can tell you, the rent in a small third-tier city here will definitely not be high. It's not enough for your annual property bills and heating bills. ”

Ding Chuan didn't bother to say anything more to her, and said to her perfunctorily: "This house is not ready to be sold, and I have some things that have not been resolved." I'll talk about it when I get things done. ”

At night, Ding Chuan originally planned to let Su Honghong go to live in a hotel outside, but this woman refused to live or die, and said bluntly: Ding Chuan's old lover must come at night, so he drove her away!

In desperation, Ding Chuan could only let her stay. Of course, Su Honghong must not be allowed to sleep in her mother's room, even if Ding Chuan lets her sleep, she will never dare to sleep. In the end, Ding Chuan slept in the living room, and Su Honghong slept on the single bed in Ding Chuan's room.

Sleeping until midnight, Ding Chuan suddenly felt that a pair of eyes had been staring at him. He woke up with a spirit, and sure enough, Su Honghong stood in front of the sofa like a piece of wood and looked at Ding Chuan in a daze.

"You don't sleep at night, what kind of neuropathy do you have!" Ding Chuan, who was a little hairy by Su Honghong, said loudly with some anger.

But Su Honghong changed her old style and said to him coldly: "You are finally back, I have been waiting for you so hard!" ”

Ding Chuan was stunned by this headless sentence: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I told you to wait at home, you have to come here to make trouble, do you? ”

Who knew that Su Honghong did not continue to answer Ding Chuan's words, but slowly walked to the spiritual seat in the living room, looked directly at the portrait of Ding Chuan's mother, and remained motionless.

"Honghong?" Ding Chuan saw that something was wrong with her and called her tentatively. If she had been called like this by Ding Chuan in normal times, Su Honghong would have run over happily like a spring kitten. But now...... But she didn't react in the slightest.

Ding Chuan got up from the sofa and walked in front of Su Honghong, but Ding Chuan saw a face full of resentment and a pair of blood-red eyes. This is not Su Honghong! Ding Chuan can be 100% sure. She and her mother had never met, so how could she look at her mother with such eyes?

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......" Su Honghong repeated the sentence just now, but her eyes didn't leave her mother's portrait.

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......"

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......"

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......"

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......"

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......"

"You're finally back, I've been waiting so hard......"

Su Hong repeated this sentence as if she was chanting a mantra, and Ding Chuan's brain suddenly hurt as if it was about to explode. The more Su Honghong read it, the faster Ding Chuan felt that he was about to suffocate!

"Bang!" The world fell silent. Ding Chuan's headache also seemed to be relieved suddenly. I saw that the glass on her mother's portrait was torn apart, but Su Honghong fell to the ground like a puppet with a broken thread.

"Honghong! Red! Ding Chuan called out to Su Honghong loudly, and pressed her acupoint hard with his fingers.

"Hmm......" Su Honghong woke up with a sigh.

"I, what's wrong with me?" Seeing that she had fallen to the ground, she asked Ding Chuan a little blankly.

"Don't you remember what happened just now?" Ding Chuan asked with doubts on his face.

Su Honghong said a little confused: "Just now? Didn't I sleep in your room? How did you run into the living room? ”

Ding Chuan saw that Su Hong really didn't remember anything, so he said to her: "You may recognize the bed, you sleepwalked just now." ”

When Su Honghong heard that she was sleepwalking just now, she said with a look of disbelief: "Ah, can't it, I don't have this problem?" ”

"It's okay, maybe you haven't rested well, don't worry about going back to sleep, I'm watching you outside." "...... obediently" Su Honghong asked Ding Chuan to send him back to the room in a deceptive manner, but he himself couldn't calm down for a long time, what happened just now was too weird.

The portrait of his mother was also shattered, and the broom brought by Ding Chuan swept away the broken glass on the ground. He found that some broken glass had splashed behind the corner cabinet, and Ding Chuan casually pushed the corner cabinet aside, just wanting to sweep the glass underneath...... Suddenly, I saw that the wallpaper behind the corner cabinet was not pasted properly, and there was a corner that was slightly upturned, and there seemed to be something underneath.

Ding Chuan reached out and tore it hard without thinking about it, and a whole piece of wallpaper was torn off by him. Twilight, he was stunned by the scene in front of him! It turned out that behind the new wallpaper, there were all blood stains that were exactly the same as under his mattress......

This is what my mother did? Ding Chuan didn't believe his eyes, even if his gentle and dignified mother was sick, she shouldn't be hysterical to this extent, right? He couldn't stop tearing off the first wallpaper, tearing one by one, until all the walls were back to their original state, and then he sat down on the floor panting tiredly.

This bloodstain is a bit like a fingernail scratch, but it's not quite like it. On the yellowed walls, there are shocking marks, which are particularly terrifying. Ding Chuan really didn't want to sleep in such a room, so in desperation, he went to his mother's room. Now, maybe only somewhere will give him a little bit of a pitiful sense of security.

Ding Chuan lay on his mother's bed and took a deep breath, he smelled a smell of his mother, which was warm and safe. Although it is late autumn, the house is not yet heated, and it is the saddest time of the year. My mother left alone in such a cold season.

Every time he thought of this, Ding Chuan's heart hurt uncomfortably. He hugged his mother's quilt tightly and cried silently. I don't know when, I cried and fell asleep like a child. He had just fallen asleep and dreamed of his mother again. She still kept saying something to herself with an anxious face......

Maybe it was because he slept in his mother's bed, but this time he could see the shape of his mother's mouth. It was as if she was saying, "Leave, leave!" ”

"Mom, what did you say?" Ding Chuan wanted to get closer to her, but an invisible force pulled his mother away.

"Mom......" Ding Chuan shouted again and woke up from his dream, he looked up and saw that it was dawn......

The mother walked up to Konishi step by step and looked at this young life who had already been exhausted. She reached out and touched Konishi's feet, which were still hot. And next to Xiaoxi, there is another skipping rope prepared for Ding Chuan......

"Chuan'er, go untie that skipping rope! Chuan'er! Mother called out to Ding Chuan, who was a little stunned.

"Huh? Yes! Okay" Although Ding Chuan didn't understand his mother's intentions, he still did it. After untying the skipping rope, he looked at his mother puzzled.

Without thinking about it, his mother said to him, "Go to school tomorrow morning and send this skipping rope back to its place, understand?" Don't let anyone else see it. ”

Ding Chuan nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”

The two took advantage of the moonlight to hastily check it to see if there was any other evidence that could leak Ding Chuan, and then left in a hurry.

The next day, Ding Chuan came to the school's gymnasium early, and when there was no one around, he put the skipping rope that he took off the tree yesterday back in its place. Then he pretended to be calm and went back to class......

During the second class in the afternoon, Xiaoxi's family came to the school and said that she had not been home all day yesterday. However, the school said: people are not lost in school, and they are powerless. The police also questioned the female students who shared the dormitory with Konishi, but they did not know anything about Konishi's private life.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ding Chuan and Xiaoxi really have nothing to do with each other. But only Ding Chuan himself knew that Xiaoxi was hanging from a big locust tree in Lanshan at this time!

After a few more days, Xiaoxi's family still didn't find her, and they specially invited a private detective from outside, but it still didn't work. Konishi's mother is even more crazy! At the same time, this incident has also become big news in this town, and everyone knows about it.

And Ding Chuan lives in great fear and anxiety every day, no matter how enlightened his mother is, it is useless. When he was outside, he had to pretend to look at it like no one else, but when he got home, he dreamed that Konishi asked him every night, "Why did you lie to her?" ”

Ding Chuan spent another week in such a panic. Finally, Konishi's body was found. It was an old woman who had gone up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and when she saw Xiaoxi hanging from the tree, she sat on the ground in fright......

The police came to the school again, and in the gymnasium, they found the same skipping rope that Konishi used to hang himself. Since these skipping ropes are used by the whole school, fingerprint comparison is not possible. And the only traces on Konishi's body were also completely lost due to the heavy rain a few days ago.

The only thing that can be checked out is that Konishi is pregnant. This is a hot news, and everyone is speculating about who the father of this child is. But no one doubted Ding Chuan, although he had an affair with Konishi. But that was also the teacher's speculation, and for more than a semester after that, the two never crossed paths. In the eyes of outsiders, they haven't even said a word since.

But due to the guilt and fear in Ding Chuan's heart, he began to become more and more silent, and he became more and more estranged from his former friends and classmates. Mother knew that Ding Chuan had to be let out of here, otherwise the torment in his heart would definitely ruin himself!

His mother asked relatives to contact Ding Chuan with a middle school in the province, and in this way, Ding Chuan fled the small town with all his sins...... Since then, he has never heard anything about Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi is like a meteor in Ding Chuan's life, flashing and disappearing forever.

Ding Chuan's transfer did not attract everyone's attention, and in this small town, people leave one after another every year to run to the bigger and wider world outside. The only people who can't leave are the dead and the living dead. Konishi is a dead man, but his mother is a living dead......

Regarding Xiaoxi's death, the police finally determined that the girl was unmarried and pregnant, and committed suicide in shame. This is too big a blow to Konishi's family! Ever since Konishi's affair spread in town, Konishi's family has disappeared overnight. Some said they moved away overnight, others said they had gone to other places to join relatives, and the family never appeared in the town again.

This is the second time Ding Chuan has dreamed of his mother after returning home, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he has always thought that his mother's illness is caused by the psychological pressure caused by covering himself. But now it seems that things are far from that simple.

Suddenly, a strange smell came into Ding Chuan's nose. He stood up and smelled the smell and went to the kitchen, where a red figure was busy in front of the stove.

"What are you doing?" Ding Chuan has always been unkind to Su Honghong's tone.

"Chuan'er, you're awake! Wait, breakfast will be ready soon. But Su Honghong said enthusiastically.

Chuan'er? Su Honghong has never called Ding Chuan like that, and all the names she calls Ding Chuan are nothing more than husband, dear, big boss and the like. The word Chuan'er has been called so no one except for her mother and Xiaoxi over the years.

Ding Chuan shook his head, it must be his own delusion. A title doesn't mean much. Watching Su Honghong busy making breakfast, she was still a little moved in her heart, and after a while, she brought a pot of porridge. Ding Chuan looked at the black things in the basin, and the little emotion in his heart just now suddenly disappeared.

"W-what?" Ding Chuan said dissatisfied.

"Porridge, I'll boil it myself, you taste it." Su Honghong's tone was a little wooden, and suddenly she lost her enthusiasm just now.

Ding Chuan felt something strange, he looked up at Su Honghong and found that the red sweater she was wearing today was very familiar. This is not Su Honghong's usual style, and it has to be 10 years ago. Suddenly, Ding Chuan was stunned! This red sweater is clearly the one that Xiaoxi wore before hanging himself!

"Eat!" Su Honghong's smile was stiff, and her tone was very mechanical.

Ding Chuan swallowed his saliva and said, "Honghong, I'm not too hungry, can I eat again later." ”

Su Honghong shook her head and said coldly, "No...... Yes. ”

"Honghong, what's wrong with you?" Ding Chuan asked her tentatively. But she replied coldly: "Your red is good!" Don't worry, you still have to worry about yourself. ”

"Me? Hehe...... What do I have to worry about? Ding Chuan's answer sounded like he felt empty. But although he was afraid in his heart, he still didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Su Honghong gently gave Ding Chuan a bowl of "porridge" and put it in front of Ding Chuan: "Chuan'er, didn't Auntie tell you?" Don't come back! ”

Ding Chuan chuckled in his heart, and looked at Su Honghong in front of him in disbelief: "You, you won't be Xiaoxi, right?" ”

Su Honghong smiled coldly: "Chuan'er, it's been 10 years!" How are you doing? ”

When Ding Chuan heard her ask, he fell from his chair to the ground in fright. He said incoherently, "Impossible, impossible, aren't you already ...... has ......" that dead word, but he still can't say it.

So Su Honghong said the second half of the sentence for him: "Am I not dead?" Right? Yes, I'm dead! I've been waiting for you at your house for a long, long time, why did you come back? Come and take a bite of the porridge I made for you myself......"

Before Su Honghong could say no, she put a mouthful of porridge into his mouth. Ding Chuan only felt a fishy and bitter taste in his mouth, and he wanted to vomit because it was really unpalatable. One mouth and spit it out along with the meal I ate yesterday.

"Huh...... Isn't it delicious? This is made with the baby's flesh and blood for you, how does your own blood taste? Scold...... Heh......" Su Honghong's expression became more and more hideous and terrifying.

And Ding Chuan's vomiting, which he had just stopped, squirted out again.

Su Honghong, no, it should be Xiaoxi. She stroked Ding Chuan's head with her miserable white palm and said, "Your mother has been with me for 10 years, and she has paid off what she owes me, and now it's up to you." I wanted her to spend more time with me, but just a few days ago, I suddenly figured out a truth. If she doesn't die, you'll never come back, right? ”

"You...... How can you ......" Ding Chuan was so sad that he was almost speechless, and sure enough, it was because of himself that his mother died tragically!

"Chuan'er, don't worry! How about she is gone, so I will replace you with me? Konishi said coldly.

Ding Chuan closed his eyes, how he wished that when he opened them again, all this in front of him would disappear! However, he was disappointed again.

Konishi was still looking at herself so coldly, and she was smiling contemptuously from beginning to end.

Ding Chuan closed his eyes again, but this time he accepted his fate. He smiled helplessly at Konishi and said, "Okay, I promise to stay." But Su Honghong is innocent, can you let her go? ”

Who knew that Xiaoxi was extremely angry after hearing this, her face became a little distorted, and she snorted coldly and said, "Okay, Chuan'er!" You now know that you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but what about me? Why were you so cruel to me back then? Well? ”

Ding Chuan recalled that back then, he rubbed his hair with his hands a little helplessly, and said regretfully: "Back then...... It was all my fault. In the past 10 years, I have thought countless times, if I could turn back time, I would definitely save you from the tree! But I can't go back! Su Honghong ...... I'm sorry for her too. Because I've never liked her, not at all! I couldn't get out of your affairs all these years, all the women I have been with, in the end, I will leave them. It's been a long time since I couldn't love anyone else! If I could exchange my life for your life, I would be willing to die for you! ”

Xiaoxi listened to tears like rain, and she covered her eyes with her hands. But the tears still flowed uncontrollably. "Why did you do this in the first place? Yes! You ruined me, you ruined my family, and you ruined yourself......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......" Ding Chuan said as he staggered up from the ground and walked to the window, he glanced back at Konishi with a shallow smile on his face. Then he jumped and flew out the window.

Konishi was stunned at first, and then jumped down with him......

"Chuan'er? Chuan'er! ”

Ding Chuan was in a daze, feeling that someone was calling him. When he looked back, it was his mother.

"Mom, why are you here?"

His mother looked at him with a smile and said, "Chuan'er, don't go any further, it's all over." You have to be good in the future and don't take another wrong step! Let's go back. ”

Ding Chuan looked at his mother puzzled: "Mom, what did you say?" I don't understand. ”

His mother hugged him hard and said, "Go back, find a good girl to live in the future." Konishi ...... She asked me to say to you: she let go. With that, the mother turned and walked into the void, and finally disappeared.

"Mom!"

Ding Chuan opened his eyes, and his eyes were snow-white.

"Where is this?" He heard his own voice so hoarse.

A little nurse panicked over to take a look, and then shouted out the door: "Doctor! Doctor! 26 beds wake up! ”

"The End of this Story"
