Chapter 48: Night Run (3)
"Eventually, she was spotted by a returning girl next door, who drove away the old blind man who was lying on top of the girl and was about to call the police, but the girl stopped."
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, don't you men really understand how important chastity is for a girl?" The girl continued.
"After that, the girl's heart died, and she felt that she was no longer worthy of a boy, so she took a kitchen knife and cut off the one on which she wore the ring - her finger."
After the story, the girl snatched the cigarette from my hand, put it in her mouth and took a deep breath, I rewound the recorder, checked the sound quality and put it in my pocket, this is a very novel story, that is, the girl's final behavior I don't understand, maybe as the girl said, we men don't understand how important chastity is for girls.
Suddenly, I found that the girl was wearing a glove on her right hand, and in the shadows, the glove looked so hideous. I couldn't help but be stunned, and my eyes fell on the sunny-looking boy on the album again, and the figure that kept running downstairs came to my mind.
A thought in my heart gradually magnified, and at this time the girl's gaze fell on my gaze, I quickly shifted my gaze, but the girl smiled "What do you think, it's just a story." ”
I smiled, put on my clothes, got up to say goodbye to the girl, in the dim staircase, I hurried downstairs, I walked downstairs, the biting wind blew my face, I rubbed my eyes, what the hell was I thinking? It's just a story, as the girl said.
Suddenly the cold liquid hit my face, I looked up and found that it was raining in the sky, and I didn't have an umbrella, I trotted forward, the fallen leaves mixed with the raindrops the size of beans, I ran and ran, there was no human figure around, a vague black shadow on the slope gradually entered my sight, I turned my head to see that it was a hunchbacked old man, his eyes were white in the rain and his white hair was sticking to the top of his head like withered grass, staring straight at me, as if he was the old blind man in the story.
I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine, the cold rain made me shiver, I couldn't help but speed up my pace, a locust tree appeared in front of me, I slowly slowed down, my eyes fell on the locust tree, and on the concrete floor, there were faint red spots, as if the girl in the story really fell here.
I was confused, this... How is this possible... Isn't that really the story? Could it be that the girl in the story really ends up cutting off her own fingers?
"Bang bang, bang bang." A rhythmic sound sounded in my ears, and I listened carefully to it, and suddenly froze, this is... Footsteps! I looked back and saw the boy running in the rain.
Bang! It was as if a bomb had exploded on me, and I shuddered all over my body, and the chill quickly spread all over my body.
"The boy got the girl, but he couldn't stop himself. Every evening, his body burned as if it had been set on fire, and he couldn't bear it..."
“.... He has been running for eight years, and he has not stopped for a day. ”
It turned out that the boy was also at the scene that rainy night, ignoring the girl's screams and cries for help, running in the rain round and round.
That's why the girl cut off her fingers, so it was.
I suddenly felt a lot of pain in my chest, my breathing became more and more rapid, bad, because the truth was too exciting, my heart attack recurred, this is a secret that I have hidden for many years, I spread on the ground, groping for the first aid medicine I was carrying, but my hand slipped, the medicine bottle rolled to the ground, I stretched out my hand with great effort, but I couldn't reach it, the footsteps in my ears were getting closer and closer, but I knew that today I would be like a girl, gradually falling into despair in the boy's indifference.
My mind was getting more and more blurry, my ears were getting more and more empty, all that was left was the sound of my heartbeat, and suddenly I felt someone pry my mouth open, and my tongue touched a lump object, it was a pill! I swallowed quickly, and finally, the sound of my heart beating faded away.
"Better, aren't you?"
I looked up and looked at the boy in front of me in amazement, shouldn't he be like in the story? Finally.. What went wrong?
The boy looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help laughing, "You must be curious why I run on rainy days, hey, I don't want to, it's not to chase girls." ”
"What?"
"The person I like agreed to my pursuit a few days ago, but there is a condition, that is, I must run 28 laps here every evening, not a day, no laps, no matter the wind or rain."
"Wh.... What the? "I was stunned.
"It seems to be because a boy she once liked was like this, hey, girls are not easy to chase, brother, I have to continue to work hard, you have to pay attention to your own body." The boy smiled and continued to run up the school road.
I couldn't help but think back to the boy in the album, and then I realized that, due to the gloomy weather, I didn't even notice that they weren't the same person at all.
So where did the boy in the photo go? There is no way he can stop, and if he stops, there is only one reason.
A sense of foreboding flooded through my mind....
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like an ocean leaking from the sky, I couldn't breathe, my vision became blurred more and more, and I had to hide in the eaves of the side to avoid the rain.
While wiping the raindrops from my hair, I looked around and found myself in a utility room behind me, the corridor was pitch black, like a cannibalistic abyss, the rain was howling, the wind was blowing like a sharp blade, and there was a strong lavender fragrance in the air.
I lowered my head, vaguely saw that there seemed to be intermittent red marks on the ground, my heart tightened, swallowed my saliva, looked at the dark corridor, thought of something, I exhaled, and slowly stepped into this endless darkness.
It was pitch black in front of me, I couldn't see my fingers, I walked forward blankly, I didn't dare to make a sound for some reason, I don't know if the rain had stopped, but gradually there was no sound, and the surroundings slowly fell into a deathly silence.
I took out my mobile phone, followed the red dot on the ground and slowly moved forward, and finally the red dot disappeared in front of a door, I straightened up and looked at the cold iron door in front of me, there were tweezers for picking up garbage by the door, I put away my phone and picked up the tweezers, and began to pry up the iron door.
"Squeak, squeak." The sharp sound resounded throughout the corridor, but also stimulated my heart, I prying while carefully observing the surroundings, as if afraid of waking up something, the iron door is very firm, I exerted all my strength, seeing the door crack gradually loosened, but the tweezers accidentally popped out of the door crack, I didn't have time to stop, inertia fell to the ground, "pop", my voice recorder flew out, bounced down on a certain In a dark corner, with a drip, the girl's voice echoed throughout the corridor.
"One evening, the girl went downstairs to go home after tutoring in the garden of the city......... When the girl passed by a locust tree, she was controlled by an old blind man hiding behind the tree..... In this way she lost her virginity, and the heavy rain covered her screams and her blood. ”
I searched in a panic, my heart beating fast as if it was about to explode at any moment, for some reason, this light and pleasant voice sounded so permeable and unsettling in this dark corridor.
Finally I fumbled for the recorder and hurriedly put it in the bag, but when I stood up, I was suddenly stunned, because, because at that moment just now, I seemed to hear something, a very light voice, the sound was very subtle, very familiar, very inconspicuous, but at this time it sounded very permeable....... The sound of human breathing!
I turned my head suddenly, and I was greeted by a face with white eyes, and the pain came in my arm, and I fell to the side with my arm in my arms, and the old blind man slashed with a kitchen knife in his hand, and I tried to dodge, but the old blind man slashed my thigh because I couldn't see, I endured the severe pain, rolled to the side, and couldn't make a sound, the old blind man kept slashing in the dark, but couldn't find the target.
I slowly stood up along the wall, and locked the old blind man's neck from behind, and the old blind man struggled hard, and I fell to the ground with him, and with a "clang", the knife fell to the side, and the old blind man's hand groped blankly, but he never touched the knife on the side of his arm.
I picked up the kitchen knife and slashed it with all my strength, "poof" "poof" "poof" hot blood soaked my whole body, blocking my vision, after a long time, I let go of the knife, as if paralyzed on the ground exhausted, panting for breath.
After a while, I wiped the blood from my face, stood up with difficulty, held the tweezers and endured the pain of the wound to pry the iron door in front of me, squeak, the iron door was released, I threw away the tweezers, opened the door, the door was pitch black, I took out my mobile phone, and clicked on the flashlight.
"Bang" I was stunned, my whole body shook violently, as if the puppet had lost its clockwork, I was stunned in place for a long time, the dim light shone on my pupils that trembled like a light bulb, and the horror had quickly spread all over my body.
Because, instead of the sunny and lovely boy in the album, I saw the corpse of a girl with uncovered, twisted limbs, and a hideous face, and the broken knuckles on her right hand were so shocking.
"The boy ran very hard and fast every lap, as if he was risking his life......
"Every day for the boy starts in the evening and ends at eight o'clock, sometimes the boy accidentally falls and breaks his knee and hurts his arm, and sometimes the boy kneels on the ground like a patient who is deprived of oxygen, and keeps convulsing......... Continuing to stand up, regardless of the forward, every time the boy finished running, he lay motionless on the railing as if out of his body, and fell into a deep sleep."
"Endless days, in the endless darkness, the boy ran alone on the school road, sweat was dried by the cold wind, his teeth were bitten blood red, you won't know that feeling, that long years of being alone, how terrible the long and endless loneliness like the abyss is, even if the body is unconscious, even if the future is endless and long, even if the heart is miserable and tired, even if the legs are swollen, the boy has persevered, he has been running for eight years, and he has not stopped for a day."
Hell, I.... I should have thought that the person describing these images must have witnessed the endless days, in the endless darkness, silently watching this boy running alone on the school road, and this person is not a class flower, but a ..... The girl next door!
"Don't run anymore, you're going to die if you go on like this."
"Get out, get out, I can't stop, I can't stop, I don't want to change back, I don't want to be a pig again, I'm not a pig, I'm not a pig!"
"You're not a pig, how can you be a pig? You are me.... Favorite people! ”
"Eventually, a returning girl next door found her...."
In fact, the girl next door did not drive away the old blind man who was lying on the girl, but stepped forward and cut off the girl's fingers.
I only now noticed the strangeness of the photos of the girl's home, there was always only the boy in the photo, and there was not a single photo of the two of them.....
