Chapter 25: The Mermaid (22)
Baizhu walked along the mountain road for a long time, and finally saw the wide road ahead. He ran down and waved his hand in the hope of stopping a car, but there were very few cars coming and going on the road, and occasionally one of them flashed by at a blink of an eye, leaving only exhaust fumes and phantoms.
Baizhu walked along the road by himself, and after walking for a long time, a large truck stopped next to him.
"Young man! Do you want to bring it? ”
The question was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, with a fleshy face that looked very vicious. Baizhu looked at him silently and nodded.
Baizhu got into the car silently and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry, can you borrow me to make a call?" ”
"Okay!" As he spoke, the big man touched his pants pocket, took out his mobile phone and handed it to him.
The phone smelled of engine oil, and it was slippery when I held it in my hand. Baizhu thanked him and dialed David's mobile phone number.
It didn't work.
"What? Didn't get through? The big man driver asked.
"Hmm." Baizhu nodded silently and walked towards the place where the goods were placed behind.
Baizhu leaned on the goods, closed his eyes a little tiredly, and the man in front of him was not such a talkative person, he drove all the way and didn't say anything. Suddenly, there was a bump in the road, Baizhu opened his eyes upside down, and the big man in front of him asked in a rough voice: "Hehe, you're awake, where are you going?" My car is going to the Modimo metropolis to make deliveries, and when I saw you walking alone on the road, I asked you if you wanted to take a ride, and I didn't ask where you were going, sorry! ”
"Modigon Metropolitan?" Baizhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it far away from the small town of Egwangs?" ”
"Far away! Do you go to the small town of Egerwans? Then you can only go to Momoudi and then take a plane, and there are also long-distance buses, but it is longer and more dangerous. ”
"Dangerous?"
"Yes, for such a long time on the road, who knows if there will be any bus accidents on that road that have been reported in many news, anyway, there are not many buses here, so the plane is safer."
Baizhu looked at his palm with some hair, his index finger was slightly bent, and his thumb gently touched the nail of his index finger, and those bloody memories not only did not forget as he wished, but became clearer and clearer. He reckoned that he would no longer need to be wary of strangers, and that he would be able to accept the kindness of others with confidence and boldness from now on. Because if the other party has bad intentions, his nails can tear the person apart lightly
The bloody and brutal scenes of sliding arms, spurting blood, blood-stained soil, and bubbling flesh flashed through his mind, and Baizhu stared at his hands blankly, motionless.
By the time the Modigon metropolis arrived, the neon lights were already lighting up the sky. After thanking the driver, Baizhu got out of the car, looked up at the high-rise buildings and bright lights in front of him, and suddenly felt a little confused.
It was a strange world, it was a strange city, even his body was strange, and he wasn't even human.
A whole world, he has been here for so long, and all he has encountered is a bunch of strange things, and the three views of every day have to be forcibly refreshed, and the friend he knows is David, and he can't find anyone else yet.
What exactly am I going to do? Baizhu thought, does it make sense like this?
It's better to kill yourself and see, if you can't go home.
Baizhu stretched out his hand, his nails against his chest. As long as you poke it in, you may wake up from the dream
But he didn't in the end.
If I am so strong now, why should I choose to die so cowardly?
The thought kept amplifying in his mind, and his eyes grew red.
I could have kidnapped a human, killed him, took his money and papers, and went to David.
"Nope."
Why not?
"Because it's against the law"
But which law says that it is also illegal to hunt and kill human beings?
"Who are you?" Baizhu calmed down and asked. At this time, this thought in my mind also disappeared, and I thought that I had never existed. Baizhu shook his head, "Delusion?" ”
This kind of thought is the remnants of the body of Baizhu, and the body has a memory, just like killing someone who has just gotten out of control.
Thanks to it, Baizhu finally calmed down, came back to his senses, and decided to face reality.
He first found a job as a waiter, and the boss saw that he was good-looking and temperamental, so he nodded with satisfaction, and then asked if he didn't have any documents, and immediately decided not to accept it.
Baizhu grinded with him for a long time, and finally the boss agreed, and unexpectedly let Baizhu discover the special feature of a mermaid - the charm of humans, like hypnosis.
It's a wonderful feeling, and the eyes, the tone of the voice, and the strong desire to convince the other person can be unleashed. Baizhu stayed in the restaurant for two days, and then went to the airport to perfect the skills he had discovered by accident.
He hypnotized a traveler and got on the plane with his ID and flew to David's city.
After getting off the plane and making a few more trips from the city, I finally found the town.
Baizhu looked at the European-style town in front of him, and the excitement that his goal was about to be achieved overflowed his heart! After nearly a week, he finally found this place!
"Excuse me, does David live here?" The town was full of people, and Baizhu stopped an elderly woman and asked.
"David?" The old woman spoke slowly, "There are 3 Davids here, which Davy are you looking for?" ”
"Uh" Baizhu thought for a moment, "Davy should be David Bryce, yes, his full name is this." ”
"Oh! Bryce's boy! His house is over there, and when he walks that way, do you see the house next to the big tree? ”
Baizhu looked over, and there was indeed a small white villa over there, "See, thank you!" ”
"No, no, no." The old woman walked away with a cane.
Baizhu walked towards the side of the house, reached the door, and knocked on the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." A woman's voice came out, footsteps approached, the door opened, and a woman with an apron and a bottle of jam in her hand looked at him suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello." Bai Shu smiled shyly, "I'm looking for David, I'm his friend - is he there?" ”
"Not there! He's dead! The door slammed shut, and Baizhu touched his nose and began to knock again.
"What?! Annoying?!! The jam in the hand of the apron woman inside almost pounced on Baizhu's body, she frowned impatiently, and said, "Don't look for David to be gone, you will treat him as dead!" I don't care about you! Don't knock! ”
Baizhu slammed against the door, "Where did he go?" ”
The woman inside rolled her eyes: "If you don't go to a good university, you want to go to your uncle's fooling around!" Where do you care where he goes?! If you don't go home, you'll die outside one day! ”
"And where is his uncle?"
"Hell knows!" The woman rolled her eyes again, "That stinky little ghost, who doesn't listen to the old lady, makes some messy girlfriends all day long, and now he doesn't even go to college"
Baizhu grabbed the woman by the collar through the crack in the door, looked her in the eyes, and said, "Tell me his current phone number and address, as well as his uncle's phone number and address." ”
The woman paused for a moment, then nodded indifferently, "Okay." ”
Baizhu chased to the address provided by the woman, which was a seaside town very close to the sea, and a courtyard was covered with fishing nets, and Baizhu walked in.
Davy turned his back to what he was cleaning, and Baizhu called softly: "David? ”
David looked back at him and was dumbfounded.
"Mr. White, Mr. White, !!!!" David stood up violently, and the table and chair were shocked, "Your legs, legs."
"I'm coming to you, David." Baizhu smiled relaxedly, "My leg became like this after eating potions from the bottom of the sea." ”
"Oh-oh" David's eyes were a little red, and he slowly walked up to him, "Bai, don't you go." ”
"Hmm."
David stretched out his arm and slowly hugged him, and he hugged him back, and David began to feel like he had lost his strength and his arms didn't have much strength, and then slowly hugged him tighter and tighter.
Baizhu's heart finally stopped hesitating, and a hug made him settle down and soften. Although this world is strange, he is no longer alone, and he has the best, kindest and gentlest friend.
The two hugged each other and were silent for a long time, quietly enjoying the excitement of this moment and the joy of reunion. Half-ringing, David spoke: "White, these days." I've been looking for you. ”
Baizhu patted him on the back and comforted him. David slowly let go of him, grabbed his shoulder, stared into his eyes and said, "I've been looking for you." White. My uncle was a diver, and I followed their submarine down to look for you and almost died. ”
There were too many waves hidden in David's eyes, and Baizhu was a little sad to look at him.
"But I didn't find you." David continued, his eyes red again as he spoke, "Where the hell did they hide you?" Why can't I find it? ”
"Alright, alright." Baizhu hugged him, "Aren't I back?" ”
"Don't go. I've got a lot of snacks for you. Don't go. David said sullenly.
"Hmm. Don't go. Baizhu said.
In this illusory world, only the people in front of you are real. Where else is he going? Everywhere is nothingness.
