38. Chapter XXXVIII
CHAPTER XXXVIII
In the blink of an eye, dusk was approaching, and as soon as Xia Liangshan walked out of the company building, he received a call from Mr. Ah Li.
On the phone, the young Teacher Liu's voice was full of thick crying, realizing that something had happened, Xia Liangliang pricked up his ears for a while to listen, it turned out that Ah Li suddenly disappeared after school!
I heard Teacher Liu say that just now she had been waiting for Shen Liangye to pick up Ah Li in front of the kindergarten, but she couldn't find Ah Li just by turning around!
At that moment, Xia Liangxi was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and she didn't care about accusing her of dereliction of duty, she rushed into a taxi parked on the side of the road and rushed towards the direction of the kindergarten.
In a panic, she called Shen Liangye, but was told that he was on his way to kindergarten at the moment, and after hanging up the phone in a hurry, she decided to call the police immediately.
As soon as the phone was dialed, an unfamiliar number jumped out on the mobile phone screen, she held her breath, thinking that she had encountered extortion, but as soon as she pressed the answer button, she heard a familiar voice.
"Xia Lianglone, I'm back."
Listening to that cold voice, in an instant, she breathed a sigh of relief and roughly guessed Ah Li's whereabouts.
"Wait for me at 37 Mingyue Street." After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone in an instant, so she immediately asked the driver to turn the head of the car and rushed all the way to Mingyue Street.
As the twilight closes, the last rays of the sun break away from the horizon, she finally arrives at her destination, the narrow streets are bustling with people, she pushes through the crowds all the way, and even scratches her knee by the oncoming tricycle, she doesn't care.
She ran all the way to the evening breeze, and at the same time counted the house numbers on the side of the street, and the short five-minute journey seemed to her to be as long as a lifetime.
Finally arrived at No. 37, it was a small teahouse, she panted and pushed the door open, the beads of sweat on her forehead rolled down, she shuttled in front of the door for a long time, just when she was in a hurry to turn around, a middle-aged woman came to meet her. When she saw Xia Lianglone, she walked up to her expressionlessly, and her voice was also cold, "You are Xia Lianglone, right?" The person you're looking for is in Box 3 on the second floor, come with me! ”
With a sense of trepidation, she stepped on the low staircase with trembling feet, and with every step she took, she almost fell to the ground.
It wasn't until the middle-aged woman gently knocked on the door of the box that a sonorous voice sounded on the spot: "Come in!" ”
Then, before turning to leave, the middle-aged woman pushed her into the box. In this way, she stumbled into the house, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Su Yue in a wheelchair feeding Ah Li strawberries.
At that moment, she didn't know what Su Yue said to Ah Li, which provoked Ah Li to jump up and down while standing on the chair, looking leisurely.
In the next second, Xia Liangshan tore Ah Li off the chair with an arrow step, and he didn't care about his yelling, so he dragged him behind him, looking east and west at his face, for fear that he would be hurt.
At this time, Su Yue raised her head and looked at her with a smile, her voice was so cold that her hairs stood on end, "Xia Lianglone, I didn't expect me to come back, right?" What do you think? Just had a little joke with you, exciting? ”
"Su Yue, I know you hate me, if you have anything to do with me, please don't hurt Ah Li, he is innocent!" Xia Liangshan was so angry that she trembled, and her face became more and more pale.
"Xia Lianglone, as a murderer, don't you ask me how these two legs are doing now?" Su Yue asked her through gritted teeth, with a fierce expression on her face eager to devour her alive.
Xia Liangshan took a breath and picked up Ah Li, who was running around, her tone was much calmer, "Su Yue, I think you know better than anyone what is going on with your two legs, why have you been convinced that I am a murderer until now?" ”
That was three years ago.
During that time, it was her most chaotic and uneasy moment, although life seemed to be peaceful, but vaguely, she always felt that some memories were wantonly disrupted by a pair of invisible hands.
She can think of many people and many things, but once they are connected, her mind becomes extremely confused.
At that time, she lived in the high-end apartment that Xu's gave her, and while taking care of Ah Li every day, she went to work in Xu's branch for a while, and not long after she got her driver's license, she drove the brand-new BMW MINI on a small road when she was suddenly stopped by Su Yue riding a motorcycle.
At that moment, she braked in a hurry, and saw Su Yue suddenly open the car door and sit in the passenger seat with a natural expression.
It was a sunny noon, Su Yue took off her hat, looked at her confused eyes, and asked her coldly: "Xia Lianglone, do you still recognize me?" ”
She nodded, and heard her suddenly mention a person's name, "What about Xu Er?" Do you remember Xu Er? ”
Seeing her shaking her head blankly, Su Yue smiled proudly, and said with a sharp emotion: "I heard a long time ago that you were hypnotized by Luca, and I thought it was ridiculous, but now it seems that this matter is really true." ”
And the accident happened at that moment, Su Yue, who was originally calm, suddenly covered her head with a flushed face, and looked at her with a hideous face. For a moment, she hurriedly took out the white pills in her pocket.
At that moment, Xia Liangshan immediately guessed that Su Yue might have some hidden disease, so she helped Su Yue pick up the pills scattered on the ground, picked up the water on the side and handed it to her, "How many pills?" ”
Su Yue was so pained that she couldn't speak, tears lingered in her eyes, lingering for a long time, seeing her right hand trembling and waving in front of her, she thought that Su Yue was telling her to eat five, so she stuffed the five pills in her hand into her mouth, and finally, Su Yue regained her composure.
Seeing that after she got out of the car and left, she was pre-starting the engine, and saw Su Yue's engine car running all the way forward, because her speed was too fast, Xia Liangshan didn't have time to stop her, and saw her being hit by an oncoming big truck and knocked to the ground. In the flash of light, Xia Liangshan immediately called the 120 emergency number.
Later, she learned that Su Yue had been hit by a car when she was a child, and her head was severely injured.
And that time, Su Yue obviously wanted to tell her to eat one, but she didn't expect Xia Lianglian to misunderstand her meaning and put all five pills in her mouth, because she was eager to survive, she simply swallowed all five pills into her stomach.
What Xia Liangshan didn't know was that it was a powerful tranquilizer, which was mixed with a large amount of stimulants, and once it was taken in excess, the consequences would be very severe.
In fact, for so many years, Xia Liangshan has been in a state of self-blame, but thinking that Su Yue actually made fun of Ah Li to joke with her this time, those self-blames were replaced by more anger.
Seeing that Xia Liangshan was holding Ah Li and planning to leave, Su Yue quickly slid her wheelchair behind her, the undercurrent in her eyes was turbulent, she pulled the corner of Xia Lianglone's clothes hard, and her voice was full of anger: "Xia Lianglone, don't go!" Do you really think I'm coming to you today just to play a joke on you? ”
Xia Liangshan sighed and turned around, paused for a moment, she simply sat on the chair next to her, "Say, what is the purpose of your coming to me today?" ”
Su Yue sat opposite her, her eyes were filled with a hint of unpredictable light, and finally, she slowly spoke: "Xia Lianglone, can you remember how I met you?" ”
She thought hard and blurted out: "In the Xu family." ”
Hearing her say this, Su Yue slapped her palm and said, "Then why did you come to the Xu family back then?" ”
At that moment, she was instantly stunned, the vague phantom that had been appearing in her mind for several years seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, but she couldn't remember that person even after racking her brains.
Suddenly, she felt a splitting headache.
It wasn't until Su Yue took out a paper bag from her bag, as well as an old mobile phone from a few years ago, that they were placed in front of her one by one, making her unable to take her eyes off for a while.
"Since you can't remember, how about I help you clear your memory?"
…
The confused memories were gradually unfolded by Su Yueshu, and the man named Xu Er filled her entire brain for a while.
The one-dollar coin, the ruined private garage, the money owed to him, the blushing video, the engagement ceremony at Maho Beach, the blizzard, the man who died for her...
At that moment, she didn't know how she left the dimly lit box, she bumped all the way, walked home with Ah Li in her arms, delivered the crying Ah Li to Shen Liangye, and turned around and ran out of the house despite Shen Liangye's questioning.
Like a deranged patient, she ran wildly through the streets of traffic. It turned out that there was a long-lost lover in the depths of her memory, and it turned out that she had spent three years of absurd years so peacefully.
She suddenly remembered the wild and uninhibited laughter that Su Yue let out behind her back when she was leaving: "Xia Lianglone, compared to the pain of losing my legs, you are about to endure a hundred times or a thousand times more mental torture than me!" And these are the consequences that you deserve to bear! ”
Later, she walked into a bar on the side of the street in a trance, and she sat down in a relatively quiet corner, shivering uncontrollably, until the thick alcohol numbed her whole nerves.
The feeling of fidgeting made her get up suddenly, and at that moment, she was like a clown, staggering to the front of the stage, snatching the guitar from the singer's hand, ignoring the hindrance of everyone, she danced her fingers and played the guitar, and for a while, the messy tune caused bursts of laughter from the audience.
She was so drunk that she raised her head to look at the unfamiliar faces below, and a bitter smile flashed over her originally flushed face, "I'll sing to you." ”
After she finished speaking, she sang the auspicious three treasures on the stage by herself.
She first imitated the little girl's voice, pretending to be innocent and singing: "Daddy." ”
"Huh!" The audience in the audience was suddenly boiling, and they rushed to take advantage of her.
"Is the sun out and the moon coming home?"
Immediately afterwards, someone in the audience laughed and shouted: "Yes! ”
"Where do the stars come out and where does the sun go?"
"In heaven!"
"I can't find it no matter how I look for it...", the tears that gushed out of her voice fell to the ground, and at that moment, the bar lamp above her head fell impartially on top of her head. Feeling that her head was bleeding, she endured the headache, she dropped the electric guitar in her hand, and the sky swirled, through the increasingly hazy vision, she seemed to see Xu Er, but the next second she shook her head in disbelief, impossible, it couldn't be him.
Because, she had obviously lost him.
