1.

"Where am I going to bury my bracelet?"

Tao Qiwu sat on a chair in the hospital room and thought.

In the cold northeast, the land is as hard as an iron plate.

Since it's impossible to bury it, let's just find a place where no one is there and throw it away, whoever picks it up will be unlucky.

He thought about getting up and walking out of the room.

In the corridor, Tao Qiwu met Uncle Zhang, who was admitted to the hospital at the same time as his father.

This Uncle Zhang is over 80 years old, he is always chattering, he doesn't speak at the edge, and his brain is messy when he is old.

At this time, Uncle Zhang was walking in the corridor on crutches.

Tao Qiwu hurriedly said hello, Uncle Zhang nodded with a smile and asked, "How is your father?"

"It's good, but I don't sleep well at night."

Uncle Zhang thought thoughtfully, "These nights have not been peaceful. ”

Hearing what Uncle Zhang said, Tao Qiwu asked, "Why do you say that?"

"That girl left unjustly."

Uncle Zhang looked left and right, and whispered to Tao Qiwu: "I saw that the girl was gone, and she was taken away by someone in white." He thought about it again, and muttered to himself, "Shouldn't black and white impermanence all come out to do things together, but what about black impermanence?" ”

Tao Qisan was taken aback, Uncle Zhang was the same as himself, he had also seen the young woman.

"Did you see her with your own eyes?" Tao Qiwu asked busily.

"Who do you see?"

Uncle Zhang raised his head and looked at Tao Qiwu in confusion with cloudy eyes, "Whose grandson are you?" ”

Tao Qiwu smiled awkwardly, and it is estimated that he is the only one who takes Uncle Zhang's words seriously.

A "bang" sound came from behind Tao Qiwu, Tao Qiwu subconsciously turned around, the little nurse was squatting on the ground to clean up the fallen tray, he saw this and hurriedly walked over to help pick it up.

"I always don't have a good rest these nights, and I'm busy with work." The little nurse blushed and said as she cleaned up.

After the two of them cleaned up three times and divided five by two, the little nurse stood up and sighed: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Uncle Zhang is afraid that he won't be able to celebrate the Spring Festival, and he will begin to hallucinate and talk nonsense."

Tao Qiwu frowned when he heard this.

2.

Tao Qiwu got out of the hospital and walked in the direction of Liudao Street, and after Liudao Street, he arrived at the edge of the Liuhe River, the river embankment road in winter was sparsely populated, he thought about throwing the bracelet directly into the river, and when the ice and snow melted in the spring, the bracelet sank to the bottom of the river.

Coincidentally, he met Yu Yang, who was wrapped tightly on the road, and the two talked a few words and walked together.

"What are you running to the river on a cold day?"

"I feel uncomfortable, and I wander around." Tao Qiwu sighed.

Yu Yang covered his ears and thought for a while, "Why don't we go to the coin hall to play coins, you won't be blind when you play." ”

It was impossible for Tao Qiwu to throw away the bracelet in front of Yu Yang, but fortunately, it was still early, so he borrowed a donkey from the slope and followed Yu Yang to the game hall.

This game hall is in an alley on the other side of the second road, with three large bungalows.

The first room is a billiard hall, where a bewitching woman sits at the small bar, with her breasts half-exposed on a cold day, and the shelves behind her have everything in drinks and snacks.

The second is the game room, which has two of the town's treasures: a dancing machine and a shooting machine, in addition to the usual arcade games, and a gambling machine, which is a novelty in this year's small town.

The third room is divided into a dozen small private rooms, which have TVs, PS game consoles, and DVD players.

In the middle of the small private room, there are several badly worn sofas, and directly opposite the sofa is a large 42-inch color TV placed against the wall.

Yu Yang went to the bar and bought two beers and asked for twenty yuan in coins.

The air is filled with the smell of people, the smell of instant noodles and ham, and the smell of tobacco.

From time to time, it is also mixed with the smell of women.

The two of them were holding game coins in their hands while drinking beer without taking a sip.

Looking east and west, before they knew it, they had reached the third room, the sofa was crowded with people, men and women, and there were several people standing behind the sofa, all of whom were staring intently at the TV screen.

There is a Korean movie playing on TV:

The woman was lying unconscious on a flat bed, surrounded by several men who were stripping her clothes......

The next picture is bloody, and the girl sitting on the sofa involuntarily drills into the arms of the man next to her.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Yang leaned over and whispered to the person next to him who was engrossed in watching the movie.

"Horror movie."

The man replied casually without taking his eyes off the TV.

"I know it's a horror ticket, so what kind of horror movie is it talking about? This woman has been stripped naked! ”

"It looks like I'm going to take off the kidneys and sell them, I don't know, just watched!"

The man, visibly impatient, shifted to the side.

"Oh!"

Yu Yang nodded thoughtfully, dragged Tao Qiwu to find a good position to concentrate on watching the movie.

Tao Qi didn't have the heart to watch a movie, his mind was full of bracelets in his pocket.

"Hey, I'll go! Isn't that foreign?! ”

With the sound of speaking, a hand stretched out from behind Tao Qiwu and slapped it on Yu Yang's shoulder.

Yu Yang was obviously taken aback, and turned his head to look behind him.

"It's not easy to find you, are you deliberately avoiding me?"

The person who spoke was very tall, with a meter eighty-seven appearance, and he was extremely strong, enough to fit two Tao Qiwu, his hair was very long, his bangs almost covered his entire forehead, his face was pale, and he stared at Yu Yang in a daze.

"Fourth brother, how dare I hide from you!" Yu Yang smiled flatteringly.

When Tao Qiwu was wondering, the man named Fourth Brother raised his hand and slapped Yu Yang.

Yu Yang didn't watch out at all, and the slap in the face made the Venus in front of him scurry.

3.

"Why are you beating people?" Tao Qiwu didn't think about it, raised his hand and pushed the fourth brother.

The people around seemed to be used to seeing this kind of scene, and they didn't watch the excitement, but still concentrated on watching movies.

A middle-aged man sitting on the sofa snatched the TV remote control from the hand of the woman in his arms, and pressed the button to turn up the sound of the TV.

As soon as Tao Qiwu withdrew his hand that pushed people, he was slapped heavily on the face, and Venus scurried in front of him.

"Who are you? What does it have to do with you? Roll the calves! ”

"I'm ......" Tao Qiwu's body shook twice before he stabilized.

The fourth brother no longer paid attention to Tao Qiwu, grabbed Yu Yang's clothes and shouted: "Your brother and I are short of money, borrow some money to spend!"

"Fourth brother, I don't have any money!"

"You don't have money, you're drinking and playing coins?" The fourth brother had a strong hand in his hand, and he forcibly lifted it up from the ground.

Seeing this, Tao Qiwu couldn't ignore it, so he stiffened his heart and dragged the fourth brother's hand.

Unsurprisingly, he was pushed to the ground again, and the jade bracelet in his pocket sprang out and swirled on the ground.

The fourth brother's eyes lit up, he threw Yu Yang away and walked over to Tao Qiwu, squatted down and picked up the jade bracelet, "This thing is good, it has to be worth a few dollars, right?" ”

Then he took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully and asked, "Really?"

Tao Qiwu didn't speak, his heart was pounding, and his face was pale.

The fourth brother saw Tao Qiwu is expression, his heart was happy, thinking that most of them were genuine, so he got up and said, "I'll take this!" After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

"Call the police! He's robbing! ”

Yu Yang stretched out his hand to pull Tao Qiwu up and shouted eagerly.

Tao Qiwu swallowed, "Don't call the police, just take it if he takes it." ”

"Huh? That's a bracelet! Did you sneak out your jewelry? I said, "Is the bracelet fake?" ”

Tao Qiwu was silent, turned around and continued to watch the movie, as if nothing had happened.

In Tao Qiwu's head, countless crazy pictures flashed, and the fourth brother was haunted by evil ghosts......

It's crazy, he looked at the bloody pictures in the movie, and he actually had a sense of relief, he got rid of this hot potato.

But what next?

Watching Tao Qiwu is fine, Yu Yang is no longer in a hurry, and finds a good position to continue watching movies.

Tao Qiwu thought in his heart:

The first time the woman talked to herself, it may have been a return to the light, but how to explain it the second time?

Immediately after that, the woman's body disappeared, and she began to fall into a state of high tension, with nightmares and nightmares.

In any case, the bracelet did appear in his hand, and it was snatched away in front of the public.

At the climax of the movie, the dissected organs are packed and transported, followed by a car chase scene, and everyone is engrossed.

When he returned home in the evening, he was the only one in the house.

Tonight, Tao Qiwu's mother and second aunt went to the hospital to take care of his father, and Tao Qiwu was home alone.

The family has a habit of accumulating coins, and at most they contain several large jars.

The jar was placed on the top floor of the wardrobe, along with the box for my mother's jewelry.

When Tao Qiwu was a child, when he didn't have pocket money, he would step on a stool to steal money from the wardrobe for a long time.

So much so that now that I have no money, I will think of looking for it in the cabinet.

Tao Qiwu was lying on the sofa in a daze, suddenly wanting to drink beer, and he happened to be at home tonight, so he drank and slept well.

He sat up and fumbled in his pocket, and the money, like the bracelet, was gone.

The pocket money I saved for my father to buy daily necessities and food was spent, and I didn't have time to ask for it again.

Thinking of the bracelet, Tao Qiwu muttered in his heart that there is a wrong, there is a debtor, if you want to find trouble, go to the fourth brother, the bracelet is in his hand.

I got up and went to the cupboard to find the coins.

Grabbing a handful of one-dollar coins, he inadvertently glanced at his mother's box containing jewelry, the lid of which was not tightly closed.

He stared at it, and casually straightened the lid tightly.

4.

Dry and cold in the evening.

There was no wind, and Tao Qiwu's face was numb from the cold.

Carrying beer, peanuts, and pots, I walked home.

Drink some wine secretly tonight and throw it away tomorrow morning.

After a while, Tao Qiwu comfortably nestled on the sofa while eating peanuts and drinking beer, and "Six Groups of Serious Cases" was playing on TV, which was rare to be so comfortable for so many days.

He didn't think about his father's illness, the school, or the young woman, and he just wanted to drink some wine and get a good night's sleep tonight.

Strange to say, the more he didn't think about it, the more he thought about it, and finally, as if the case was repeated, the pictures became clear in his mind.

Removing the nightmare conversation between himself and the young woman, and no longer wondering why a jade bracelet appeared in his pocket, just thinking about the disappearance of the corpse, could someone have stolen the young woman's body?

Those who steal corpses can profit from them, or have an even more ulterior motive.

It is absolutely impossible for an outsider to steal a corpse from the hospital without realizing it, the corridor at night, the strange sounds.

Of course, it is also possible that the young woman's family did it, and they wanted more money.

The young woman's mother was so grief-stricken that she couldn't go with her daughter, it shouldn't have been her plan, most of them were the relatives who had been arguing for the past two days.

Tao Qiwu put down the bag of peanuts and took a big sip of beer.

The cold beer made him shiver.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Tao Qiwu muttered in his heart, "Don't be nosy, the bracelet is no longer in my hand, it's still the same sentence, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, the person who pushed her is not me, the person who hit her is not me, even if there is a person who stole the corpse, it is not me, no matter who you look for, you can't find me, more is better than less......"

Just when he was thinking about it, a hurried phone rang, Tao Qiwu put down the wine bottle and picked up the phone on the coffee table and said "Hey".

"Xiao Wu, your father dreamed of your father yesterday, saying that it was cold and wanted a few clothes to wear, you go to your father's grave tomorrow and burn some paper money."

"Okay, you and my aunt should rest early and lock the door."

He also casually said the words "lock the door", and subconsciously people in the inpatient department would think of locking the door at night.

"The police will take care of it, don't worry about it."

Tao Qiwu put down the phone and said in his heart, "Even if I tell others these thoughts, everyone will not believe it, and the matter of the bracelet will definitely be involved again, and I will have to die of trouble when the time comes." ”

5.

The cemetery is located on the eastern side of the small town, which is very remote.

Since the morning, the sky has been gloomy, the fields on both sides of the road are covered with snow, and occasionally a gust of wind blows the snow around, hitting the face and causing pain, and then Tao Qiwu's eyes are full of desolation.

There are basically no pedestrians on the road, there is a bus from the city to Zhengjiagou, passing through more than a dozen villages, five times a day.

Tao Qiwu could have taken a car to the cemetery, but when he saw that the minibus was full of dozens of people on board, he still dispelled this idea, and he chose to wander over the two-kilometer distance.

There are no pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a car passes by.

There was no snow in the middle of the road, but no one cleared the snow on the sidewalks on both sides of the road.

He walked slowly, paper money in his hand.

Suddenly, a Jinbei van drove behind him, and the driver turned to the right and stopped in front of Tao Qiwu, and then the door opened, and he was dragged into the van by two men wearing masks.

Tao Qiwu still wanted to struggle, but he was hit by a knife around his neck, and his hands were also strangled by a "strangled dog" (self-locking cable tie).

"You ......" Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked by something.

The person sitting in the passenger seat turned his head, "It's strange that you have to be nosy." ”

Tao Qiwuyi was stunned, and then struggled, he thought to himself, could it be that yesterday's fourth brother found someone to clean himself up?

But looking at the posture is not as simple as the thugs cleaning up people.

"Don't let him move."

As soon as the words fell, Tao Qiwu's neck ached, and his eyes darkened and fainted.

6.

Tao Qiwu opened his eyes again, and he was already tied to an iron bed, and Zhou was naked.

The cold envelops the whole body.

He turned his head to look around, because the light above his head was so bright that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Fear creeps up from the heels to the top of the head.

In my mind, I was looking like my parents, my home, my class, my winter vacation homework, and suddenly a big black mouse flashed again, a young woman riding on the back of the big mouse, the mouse turned its head and turned into a weasel again, and if I looked closely, it was a fox, and the person in the black horse coat was jumping and chasing the young woman with a pale face......

Several dark shadows appeared in front of Tao Qiwu's eyes, and one of them said, "Let's start."

This is a woman's voice, it sounds familiar, but where have you heard it?

Tao Qiwu felt a chill in his crotch, and it was the voice of the woman who spoke just now, "Young is energetic, this little thing has stood up again." ”

"You look like you're old."

"I just look young, haha."

Tao Qiwu's eyelids fought, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

I just don't know when he'll wake up this time.

7.

Liu Yinghong trembled and typed the last word on the screen, muttering in his mouth: "It's done, it's finally done, he's dead, he's dead, he's dead!"

The voice grew louder and louder, and finally shouted at the still rainy sky, "He's dead!" He's dead! ”

A flash of lightning swept across the sky, followed by a loud "boom", as if the whole earth was trembling.

After the thunder, the rain was light, Liu Yinghong closed the laptop, threw it into the trash can on the side of the road, and walked alone in the rain.

The pedestrians on the side of the street are walking very fast, and the vehicles on the road are also moving very fast, only Liu Yinghong walks slowly, forming a sharp contrast.

He raised his hand and scratched his neck, then tugged at his neck, and then laughed.

Then he turned and walked to the middle of the road.

A speeding Jinbei sea lion van is approached.

The driver of the van saw the figure in the middle of the road and hurriedly braked, but the road was slippery, and the car couldn't brake at all.

The van driver closed his eyes in fright and slammed his foot on the brakes.

With the sound of brakes, the van finally stopped, and the driver adjusted his breathing, opened his eyes and looked ahead, but there was no one in front of the car.
