Chapter 125: Phantom of the Night
The moonlight dragged out the figure of Zhang Ruolei and I in the dark night, the two silently walked hand in hand, went back to eat something and simply wrapped their stomachs, Zhang's family came to call, saying that the old lady was not in a good condition in the past two days, let us go back and see.
He put his clothes on his forearm and said, "I'll go back by myself, and don't run back and forth at night." ”
He gently touched one of my cheeks with his hand, "It feels like you've lost weight in the past two days." Don't think about it so much, we're going to shoot locations in two days, and the photo studio is calling. ”
"What did Huaihai tell you?"
"yes." He replied as he walked out.
After he left, I had to take a sleeping pill, which I hadn't used to sleep for a long time, but I knew that without him tonight, without it, I'd be alone until dawn.
Maybe because I didn't use the medicine for a long time, I fell asleep after taking the medicine, my eyelids kept fighting, I couldn't pick it open, I wanted to take a shower and fall asleep, but I was really sleepy, I told myself, lie down for a while, but I didn't want to fall asleep like this.
In the middle of the night, I saw the bedroom door being silently pushed open. I don't know if it's a dream or a wake-up, like a dream, and I feel like I'm awake; I seemed to wake up, but I felt weak and weak, like I had been drugged with sweat, and I couldn't sit up no matter how hard I tried.
After a few efforts, I had to give up struggling.
"Sleep," I said to myself. "Everything in the dream. It can be easily obtained without a single soldier. ”
Someone came in, a tall and thin figure, not Zhang Ruolei. I'm afraid I'm going to have a nightmare, and I'm desperately trying to wake myself up in my dreams, but I can't get the point. I was so anxious that I was sweating and panting, even so, the whole person still seemed to be manipulated by someone and couldn't help myself, and I really couldn't do my own master.
The darkness of the night gilds everything with mystery, even the dream seems to have a veil of existence and nothingness, and the front of the eyes is misty, trance, vague, and looming.
The familiar smell of strangers, I told myself that there might be danger, but I vaguely but firmly told myself that it was in a dream, everything was still under control, and there was no real danger.
The man was distorted in my eyes, like a figure reflected in the waves, and the waves had no intention of distorting the shape of the object, but in the minds of the waves, they were never horizontal and vertical.
I moved weakly, felt my throat and eyes dry, and tried to raise my hand to pick up the cup at the head of the bed to drink, but my bones were soft and I didn't have enough strength to support myself to sit up.
This made me very annoyed, and my throat and eyes were smoking. The person in front of him approached in a trance step by step, a familiar breath, and a strange breath. Who is it? The snitch who broke into the house? Still is......
He was as thin as a bamboo pole, like a ...... Like whom!
"Huaiping."
The name popped into my mind, and I must have missed him too much.
I cried, but the cold tears did not bring me back to this cold world at the same time, I was still immersed in my dreams. In my dreams I could see my son, who was smiling at me in the wind. Call my mom, say sorry, or don't say anything and just hold my hand like that.
Unlike now, when a pair of hands were like dead hands, holding my hand coldly, his eyes, if they could be called eyes, were dim, with the grayness and shadow of death, firmly fixed in those dull and sad pupils, and I tried to withdraw my hand.
That's not what I wanted.
Grim Reaper?
I've taken too much medicine, and death has come to take me away?
He was dressed in black, like a messenger of darkness, night, and death?
His black garments made it easier for them to blend in with the darkness, the night, and death. So that by the time you find out, you will be caught off guard, unable to get rid of him, and have no way to escape.
You just have to follow him.
I let out a long breath, my heart beating faintly and rapidly.
"Zhang Ruolei."
He hasn't come back yet.
Will he be back tonight?
I don't know.
If......
The man bowed his head, and I closed my eyes in despair. I heard a faint snort gently hit me in the face, like a weak little beast, holding its breath with all its strength in secret.
Wake me up.
I prayed in my heart.
After a few moments, I felt my hand gently lifted by the man, who seemed to be made up entirely of bone frames, with only a shriveled layer of skin that was indiscriminate and uncovered with silver.
No, it's not all useless, because if it weren't for that layer of dry skin, I'm afraid the bones inside would have fallen apart.
I don't think it should be a flesh-and-blood pair of hands. It gave me a taste of the approach of death.
But it was such a pair of hands, a pair of hands that felt powerless and no longer dangerous, that suddenly changed, took my hand, and was put to the man's lips.
Kiss of Death.
I define it in my mind.
The man kissed the back of my hand gently, I struggled, I had to be awake, I tried to widen my eyes, the other party didn't want my sparkling eyes to suddenly look at him, his hand hesitated in fright, but was immediately stabilized by him. He seemed to know that I couldn't do anything to myself, let alone treat him.
He's confident. I hate that feeling.
My throat was still dry, and I closed my eyes weakly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hoping that when I opened my eyes again, all the nightmares would be over and everything would be back to normal.
I'm starting to regret that I took sleeping pills, at least if I hadn't......
My consciousness began to blur, and a voice seemed to hypnotize in my ear.
"Sleep, just sleep. It's safe to fall asleep, everything is fake. ”
But there was another voice that was unmistakable.
"Wake up, wake up quickly, none of this is a dream."
I could feel cold sweat running down my forehead, wetting everything close to my body, my hair, my skin, my hair, my clothes, my quilt.
By the way, how can I sleep under the covers? After taking the medicine, I thought I would just sleep with my clothes together for a while, and then get up and wash up and go to bed after a while.
There was a pain in my head, a blur of dizziness in front of my eyes, I closed my eyes tightly, my head tilted, I thought I should
It's too tired.
Sure enough, I heard the sound of squirting away, and the door shut, and a thin black shadow disappeared silently.
I let out a long breath and closed my eyes quietly, still sleepy, and I didn't even have the strength to pick up the glass and take a sip of water.
The potency of that medicine was overbearing, and this sleep made me sleep until three poles in the morning. When I woke up, Zhang Ruolei stood in front of my bed, holding my hands in it with his hands crossed, and a smile as gentle as water spread on his face.
"Awake? No matter how you wake up. ”
I frowned, perhaps because of the strength of the medicine, but I still felt like a lump of paste in my head when I moved, and I shook my head and whispered quietly.
"I'm afraid that if you're gone, I won't be able to sleep alone, so I took some sleeping pills, but I didn't expect ......"
I stretched out an arm in fatigue and stroked my forehead.
"I may not have taken it for a long time, the medicine is strong, I slept this night, and I was still in a daze, and I still can't open my eyes."
I tried to close my eyes and try to open them, but my eyelids were firmly at the behest of my brain. They didn't open completely, and I gave up trying and closed my eyes again.
"Then get a little more sleep, it's nothing important today. With me, don't worry. ”
I tilted my head to the side, the fluffy pillow swallowed into half of my face, and I reached over my long forehead hair.
"I'm afraid that's all there is to it. I think I'm going to have to sleep all day. ”
I rolled over and plunged myself into the warm embrace of the quilt. Little by little, his consciousness gradually became sober.
"I can't take medicine anymore in the future, I used to take one pill."
I muttered to myself, involuntarily chewing on the slight bitterness in my mouth.
"It's okay to get a little more sleep, are you sure you're okay?"
He asked, and as he asked, I felt the bed shake slightly, and he sat down at the head of the bed, pulling my head into his lap.
"Have a glass of water, sober up? Thirsty? ”
"Hmm."
I nodded slightly, trying to sit up, and my energy was finally back compared to last night.
Zhang Ruolei strained his arms, I was hugged into his arms, my head was weakly pillowed on his chest, he held a cup in one hand, and the other hand was wrapped around me.
"Drink some."
I picked up the cup, so thirsty, it was like someone had put a piece of coals in my throat, and I let them burn in it all night, and they were about to dry my throat.
The warm water entered the throat, and all the cells in the body were like wheat seedlings moistened by the spring rain, quickly turning green and green, and I was finally able to open my eyes, and the whole person was much more sober.
"Oh my God!"
I exclaimed.
"I really can't take medicine anymore."
Again, I emphasized that I was looking back at him in his arms, catching his gentle gaze. He smiled, the sweet smell of toothpaste in his mouth.
I picked him on the chin with one finger.
"Last night ......"
I tried to piece together the memories, but found that those scattered memories were fragmented, as if they could not be interspersed for a while. So I gave up.
"What time did you come back yesterday?"
"The second half of the night."
I'm empty
Smile weakly.
"I don't know at all."
"How will I be when I come back?" I looked down at myself, "I remember that I didn't change my pajamas, and I was so sleepy." ”
He rubbed my hair on top of my head.
"You sleep like a little dead pig."
Lips to my ear.
"I changed it for you. Dead and sinking. When you fall asleep, you die dead. ”
I smiled and raised my face to kiss him. He pecked me lightly on the lips.
"Sleep a little longer?"
"No, it should be about the same."
I pulled two legs out of the bed and stood barefoot on the floor.
"By the way, I ...... yesterday I felt like someone had been in the house. ”
Zhang Ruolei stood up and pushed me out.
"Go wash your face, you're sleepy. Who's there? There is a goddess in the family, Sleeping Beauty. ”
I smiled and nodded, a compliment that was enough to satisfy me. I went out to wash, last night scattered pieces intermittently came back to my mind, I was rubbing the facial cleanser in my hands, the milky white cream with fine particles is said to have the effect of whitening and anti-wrinkle, I closed my eyes tightly, my face was surrounded by a large pile of white foam, I didn't have time to wash them off my face thoroughly, pedaled out.
"Zhang Ruolei, our family really entered last night."
