Dusk "Dusk" (1)
A few days of nothing passed.
Life day after day is uneventful and uneventful.
It was a sunny weekend. Ultramarine lies in the shade of a tree in the green ground of the campus, swiping her phone with one hand.
"The grass has been drugged. ”
Jiang Shuo stepped into the grass from the gravel path, and Ultramarine finally sat up. She smiled and hugged her knees, and Jiang Shuo also sat next to her.
"I told the store manager that she would come with me in the afternoon. ”
"I wonder if she'll be wearing those cumbersome jewelry?"
"Hahaha, I'm curious too. I've almost never seen her out of the store. ”
Anseong said before lunch that he wanted to go home and have a look. He hadn't been to his new home yet and didn't know what it was like.
The new home seems to be on the border between city and country, some distance away from the other end of the city.
This is just the right time, and there is plenty of time this afternoon.
Speaking of which, Jiang Shuo seems to have not been in contact with his family for a long time. After the development of that mountainous area, he didn't even know where his family had moved.
They looked up at the vast sky.
The sky was blue, and the blue sky was reflected in a large cloud of clouds.
A big face appeared in front of the two, and they instinctively sneered.
"Oh, don't be scary. Really. ”
Jiang Shuo stood up from the grass. Changsheng looked at him expressionlessly, and then glanced at Ultramarine.
"I'm sorry. But seeing that you don't seem to have any important conversations, I'm here to interrupt you. ”
She still had that deep voice. It can be seen that she seems to have something to do with Jiang Shuo. Ultramarine bowed slightly, ready to go back first.
After walking about ten meters, she noticed a girl standing among the bushes on the side.
She was wearing a purple silk flower, and her expression was solemn, as if she was looking at something.
Ultramarine followed her line of sight, and it was the direction of Jiang Shuo's conversation with the short-haired girl who had just arrived.
Her complexion was ugly.
The girl over there looked left and right, signaling Jiang Shuo to come closer, as if there was something important. So Jiang Shuo came closer and lowered his head slightly.
In just a moment, the birds in the forest were suddenly frightened and flew into the sky in unison. They were like dense dark clouds, and dark and mottled shadows instantly covered the ground.
The timid wild cats and the uncommon squirrels frantically flee the ground, as if they are being chased by their predators.
Ultramarine looked back at her suddenly. The girl stood there without changing her face, not paying attention to her.
She felt an indescribable chill and walked away quickly.
On the other side of the city, near the edge, an unfortunate guy got lost.
Anseong turned on his mobile phone to navigate, but he couldn't find the direction of his new home.
He only vaguely remembered a long time ago that his mother had given him a rough orientation, but he forgot. He didn't find anything from the records, only his daily greetings.
There was no way, Anseong had to open the electronic map and look for similar terrain based on his impression.
It's so weird. From the moment he got out of the car, he saw the same scenery.
It's like a little hamster trapped in a roller, unable to take a step forward no matter how long it runs.
Anseong didn't eat lunch and walked in this strange place for more than an hour. The legs are sore, and the feet are sore.
Under the scorching sun, the dirt road exudes steaming heat, and the scenery in front of you is distorted and eerie.
It's so deserted, there's no one left.
It was an endless wasteland, with only three or two sparse and low buildings, and a few telephone poles covered with advertisements. But he was like walking into a deep mountain, or a dense forest, or something like that, like a dizzying labyrinth.
Now, he's back on the side of the familiar asphalt road.
Somewhat discouraged, he threw down his backpack and sat on the side of the road.
He wanted to send a message to Jiang Shuo, or find a nearest restaurant. But it's too remote for a signal.
The sun was shining. Little by little, the heat evaporated his strength and patience.
Just when he was at his most tired and irritable, a white car pulled up next to him.
The temperature of the engine is really a hot heat source. He picked up his bag and struggled to his feet, trying to ask for directions.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the glass of the driver's seat was lowered.
The driver took off his sunglasses and looked him up and down.
It's beautiful.
This was Anseong's first impression when he saw him. He forgot what he was going to say.
"Your name is Anjo?"
The man spoke first, and his voice was delicate, but it was a male voice. Otherwise, Anseong would almost not be able to tell his gender.
The man turned his face sideways curiously, and the bangs on the left were blown by the car air conditioner.
"You seem to need help, get in the car, kid, I'll take you back to town. ”
It's so cool. Anseong could feel the cold air coming towards him.
Anyway, I couldn't find a home, and my family didn't reply to the message before leaving.
The signal is even worse. What else can I do? Keep basking here until it melts into a puddle of asphalt?
He did so by the devil.
In this way, Ancheng inexplicably chatted with this strange man all the way. Looking back, he doesn't know how he got into the car with him or how he got to this luxurious restaurant.
Magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings.
The extravagant crystal lamps make everything less real. The paintings on the wall are brightly painted, and the elegant classical music is light and fluttering.
The smell of expensive perfume perfume filled the room, and some of it was dizzying.
Two menus are on the table. Anjo carefully turned a page, and he felt that the cover was heavy.
The name of each dish made it impossible for him to guess what it was, but before that, the Arabic numerals of the suffix had already scared him.
"You're welcome, my friend, I won't let you break the bank. ”
"Or ...... Come and see. ”
He closed the heavy menu and pushed it forward.
It's weird.
However, dazedness overlays fear.
In nature, isn't it common for animals to be frightened and fall into a temporary short-circuit of thinking?
This is normal.
This is also very abnormal.
The golden pattern was wrapped around the edges of the white porcelain, and the clean bottom of the plate reflected his bewildered face.
"I think I've seen you. ”
Seeing that the waiter had finished explaining the dishes, An Cheng slowly spoke.
"Well, a lot of people have seen me. ”
The man smiled, his two white hands supporting his chin.
He must have seen him, in the media, or somewhere. And he should be famous, he has this impression.
Why would such a person find an ordinary self.
A waiter stepped forward to pour wine.
Anseong wasn't very good at drinking, but he was very thirsty and took a cup and poured it.
The red wine is cool and very comfortable in the throat.
"I heard you have a sister too?"
An Cheng choked.
Alcohol in the throat, fire burning pain.
The man acted as if nothing had happened, and shook his goblet quietly in front of the crystal chandelier.
The things that have been avoided by everyone for a long time are like a resurrected dead ash.
Memories are like a dusty room where someone has pressed the switch of the light. Even though it was only illuminated for a moment, the whole face of the room was revealed at that moment.
Then it plunged into darkness again.
The air conditioning in the hotel was just too cold.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Anjo. It's just a coincidence that I also have a younger sister...... However, there is no blood. In fact, I've always considered her my real fiancée. It always has been. ”
Anjo, his fiancée, remembered. He had been at school lunch when the cafeteria's TV broadcast news of this man.
He is the heir of the Tao family. He couldn't remember the news, but it was roughly that his fiancée was actually sent to the family and was involved in some business disputes. He couldn't read it, but he had a vague impression of the face.
It seems that it is mainly his father who is dealing with the attention of all parties, and he does not have the etiquette to match it even when he appears in a serious setting.
The face of a capitalist - Jiang Shuo said so at that time.
Isn't the sister he was talking about the same person as his previous fiancée?
"Actually, I've been looking for her. For this reason, I did everything I could, regardless of the opposition of the old man in the family, and spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources just to find her. ”
"Mr. Natao...... Is there any purpose in finding me, and how can I help in this matter?"
"Are you kidding, kid?"
This title made Anjo feel uncomfortable, and he felt that he was about the same age as him.
Tao Zuoci shrugged, took a sip of the rim of his glass, and continued:
"Even so, I haven't been able to find out the slightest trace of her whereabouts, so how could I ask a college student?"
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm asking for something. ”
But as he said, as a college student, what can he do to help a businessman? Anjo couldn't figure it out. He was a little curious, waiting for him to continue.
"You have a friend, right? the one who works in the Nameless House. ”
Now that he can find out his own background, it's not surprising to know this. Anjo thought for a moment and nodded.
"But I haven't been there either......"
"Did your friend recommend you?"
"Nope. He said the store manager was a charlatan. ”
"Have you ever wondered why? I've been there before, the store manager said, it's too long ago, no. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's been a long time since you've seen your sister. ”
Anjo did not speak. Actually, he didn't know how long it was.
In the dull campus life, his concept of time has been washed away very weakly.
"I thought, my fiancée might ...... He is no longer alive. This is the biggest possibility that I won't be able to find her. But you're different, and if you put the same amount of money into finding another girl, maybe the result will be different?"
"What do you want?"
An inexplicable impulse broke through the confinement. Anseong asked him bluntly.
"Can you find your friend a little bit and tell him that I want to talk to him?"
Seeing his suspicious and vigilant look, Tao Zuoci waved his hand.
"I assure you in my family honor that I will never do anything to harm his safety. ”
"Then why did you look for me and not go directly to him?"
Even at this time, Anseong is struggling to keep himself awake.
"Because...... The kid was a little bit special. The manager of the business will not refuse customers, but the people he does not want to see can be seen at any time. I just wanted to entrust you to help me with referrals, that's all. ”
Anseong is still thinking.
"I'm helping him. ”
Tao Zuo emphasized.
The waiters served the dishes.
It's all over the place, and it's never been seen before.
Someone invited you to a hotel, and you kid wouldn't be happy to go to the restaurant with me.
Like a gust of wind, a familiar voice suddenly jumped into my mind.
He didn't feel hungry.
The cold fear fills the stomach without a single void.
