I held on to a tree on the side of the road and shivered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info My legs went limp, and I was going to go limp again and again. If you hadn't held me hard, I would have gone limp.

S squatted not far from me, wah-wow-wow-w

The outline of his body became blurred.

When he got up after vomiting, I saw that S had turned into a blank face with no nose, no eyes, and no mouth. The blank face had two clearly visible eyebrows staring at me at close range with an uncanny expression.

I felt a claw suddenly reach out of the void and hold my heart tightly. It grabbed my heart and pinched it to the point where it trembled. Its sharp nails kept digging deep into my heart muscle. It grabbed my heart and tore it out. In a matter of moments, my chest was filled with blood, and it was a mess of flesh and blood.

I heard myself groan in pain.

Then I hear you anxiously asking, "Xinxin, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

I looked at you, I couldn't answer you, I leaned against that tree, and I sat down on the ground along that tree.

I felt you move away from me as fast as you sped in the direction of our car.

In a trance, I felt S talking to me, and I felt that you were talking to me.

I felt like I couldn't feel anything.

Something was shoved in my mouth.

A bright light radiated from under my tongue. It swam through my blood like a warm dragon. Everywhere it passed, it was ignited little by little. Many beautiful little flames began to dance in the nerves everywhere.

I felt that some of the heat that had been dispersed was gathering up in the blood vessels again, and the various parts of my body that had been lost were gathering back little by little.

Part after part of the body came back to my consciousness piecemeal, and the last part that came back was the heart.

I began to feel the contours of my chest, then the emptiness of its contents, and then the hollowness was gradually filled with something.

I felt the blood and heat re-infuse that hollow, I felt the weight of my body again, I felt my fingers again, and then, I saw your face.

I saw the mark of that amulet on your forehead.

Its color is getting darker and darker, and now it looks more like a very pale shade.

It was like a battery running out, flickering weakly and unsustainably.

Its light is getting weaker and weaker, and its traces are getting fainter and fainter.

It no longer appears on your skin, but disappears into your skin.

Like a dying meteor, it drags its long, mournful tail and disappears into your life.

When it finally disappeared from your forehead, I heard a long, distinct sigh from within time.

(c)

You grab my hand. You look me in the eye.

You let out a long breath and said, "Your face just now is horrible. Your eyes don't light up. ”

You ask me, "Do you feel better now?" ”

I said, "I'm sorry, guide, we didn't listen to you and stay where we are." ”

You say, "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have brought you here." ”

I looked around with my eyes. I remember he was just throwing up. He must have seen something more terrible than I saw.

You say, "S went back to the car and called Mr. Xiao Chen." ”

You say, "You're relieved now, but it's better not to walk around on your own." I need help from Mr. Chen. ”

I nervously wondered if I should tell you about the terrible thing I had just seen: a red-eyed monster driving a massive steel machine that knocked you flying and ran over you.

I finally decided not to say anything to you.

I ask you, "What happened up front?" ”

You say, "Someone killed himself by lying on the rails." ”

You say, "There was a farmer in the neighborhood who committed suicide by lying on the rails here because of the grief of his wife's death." ”

You say, "Don't ask about it again." Forget about it. ”

I said, "It's gone." I just saw it go. ”

You say, "What's gone?" ”

I said, "The pattern of that amulet." It's off your forehead. And, I can hear it sighing. ”

That day, our bus ended up making a detour back.

Because of delays along the way, we arrived at 2 p.m.

You only told Director Wang and Teacher Xiao Chen what you saw earlier.

The rest of the students didn't know what was going on. They only knew that the road was closed due to the traffic accident in front of them, and there was too much backlog of vehicles, so they needed to take a detour.

They only knew that I had a small heart discomfort due to motion sickness and exertion, and it was relieved after taking the medication.

They don't know what you and s saw that day:

A wagon with 15 cars crushed the man lying on the rails in the middle. His limbs and body were separated and tossed on either side of the rails. His entrails and blood splattered on the roadbed and trees on either side. His flesh was carried by wheels and scattered along the track that was more than 200 meters long. His head rested intact on the roadbed where he had last fallen.

His expression was serene. His eyes were not closed until he died.

He looked to be in his 20s. He completed this death in the wee hours of the morning.

When the locals found out, they immediately called the police to protect the scene.

When we were stuck in traffic, the police were completing their investigation and judgment. They had just figured out the identity of the Sleepers, and they had come to the preliminary conclusion that they had committed suicide.

After the detour, the atmosphere on the bus was lowered. The singing stopped. Most people doze off because they were tired from playing the day before, went to bed too late, and woke up too early today.

The seats on the bus have also been adjusted. After S got on the bus, he curled up in your original seat without saying a word, and Director Wang sat in a row with him to take care of him.

S did not have any sequelae because of this incident, nor did he show any abnormalities.

He just changed the direction of his life.

He gave up his firm desire to apply for a military academy and join the army when he grew up. He has been engaged in international trade in medical devices ever since. His wife is a well-known doctor in obstetrics and gynecology. His fate turned in a predestined direction.

On the eve of graduation, he transferred and left our school, returning to his place of origin, where admission was easier, to take the college entrance examination.

He left the shooting team from then on.

Like me, he never fired a shot again.

I hadn't seen him since the day he left, and we met again in a bar in Beijing many years later.

On the way back, I was lying flat on the back seat of the car with your shirt on.

You and Dr. Chen sat in front of me and watched over me from the aisle seats.

We had conversations, but we didn't have any more conversations about the two important things that happened that day.

Since then, you've been careful to avoid the topic all the time.

So, I never knew what kind of waves the reappearance of the amulet mark and the brutal death caused in your heart.

I never told you that I saw you being hit and run over by a huge machine. I think it's too sinister, too unlucky. It's so dangerous that I fear even repeating it. It's so unlucky that I chill all over my body when I think about it. I told myself over and over again that it was an illusion. But deep down, I couldn't convince myself that it was just an accidental hallucination.

These two things that were so important passed like this.

They pass by, like many important moments in our lives, without realizing their significance.

The main problem with so many dangers and accidents in life is that people fail to be omniscient.

This is the most important difference between an ordinary person and an enlightened being. (To be continued.) )
