I didn't leave Jingzhou, I still lived upstairs in the back room. Since Zhou Tong said that Sheng Shiyao would leave for January every year, then I would wait for him for January, and for whatever reason, I wanted to figure out what he meant by "can't see me".

Another secret door in the secret room that they showed me later, it was at the location of the secret passage, one side is the passage to the secret room, and there is a hidden secret door on the other wall, leading to the next house. It turned out that No. 17 Peace Street was also bought by them, but the front shop was rented out, and the back room was empty.

At that time, I searched the back room inside and out, up and down, and when I found that there were traces of people living in a certain room, I couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that I was only separated from him by a wall, and he could even see what I was doing every day, while I was completely kept in the dark.

Zhou Tong and Liuzi didn't persuade me to go, let me live, and even Zhou Tong patted his chest and said: Little sister, you can live as long as you want, Brother Yao is not here, I am in charge, anyway, the money we saved before is enough to spend in this life.

What I didn't expect was that the wait was three months. At the end of the first month, I couldn't control my heartbeat, and I became very anxious every day, until November was over, and I entered December, and he didn't come back. asked Zhou Tong, he also shook his head and said that he didn't know, he had never been like this before, maybe something was delayed.

The anxiety gradually faded, and time passed day by day, and after two months, it entered the third month, and now, it is February, and in three days it is the Spring Festival. I have to admit one thing, Sheng Shiyao will not come back.

As long as I'm on this day, he won't show up again.

In March, Zhou Tong and Liuzi took turns guarding the secret room during the day and night, and I wanted to help guard it, but they said that I couldn't deal with it if there was an emergency, so they politely refused me. As time went on, they had fewer and fewer smiles on their faces, more and more anxiety in their eyes, and what worried me was that their body temperature was getting colder and colder, and they couldn't cover it no matter how much they couldn't cover it.

None of us have debunked what these symptoms mean, but we all know the bottom of it.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, I was already determined. I got up early, went to a nearby restaurant to order a few dishes, and walked on the street, Xingjia Lane, Yunyuan, and moat...... I've been to places before, but it feels very strange to me, just like a photo, clear and clear without a trace of impurities. If you count from the day you first arrived in the city, you have lived here for seven or eight months, and you have lived here for four months, except for the two months in between.

I don't dare to say that I can remember the name of each street, but at least Peace Street is very impressive, but walking on this road, the surrounding scenery can not give me a sense of intimacy, as if I had a dream, in the dream I met the four of them, experienced life and death, woke up, whether it was people or things, and finally became a memory.

At noon, I went to the restaurant to pack a few dishes back, bought a bottle of liquor by the way, and woke up Zhou Tong, who was sleeping upstairs, when I entered the door, and then the two of them went down to the underground secret room together with the food and wine. Liuzi was a little surprised to see us coming, and I raised the food and wine in my hand.

Now this underground secret room has become a room, not to mention tables and chairs, and a wooden bed is placed in the corner. After the three of us sat together, I poured a full bottle of wine, first as a respect, and then said straight to the point: "I'm leaving, I'll take the car back this afternoon." Zhou Tong was stunned, "Little sister ......"

I raised my eyes and smiled at them, "Don't say anything, let's drink this bottle of wine today, how about practicing it for me?" ”

The two didn't say more, they really touched me a cup, and soon the wine bottle bottomed out, Zhou Tong shouted that he was not happy, and volunteered to go out and buy back two bottles of liquor, high-purity. I didn't shirk it, I drank with them, and after drinking, all three of them drank high, and the vegetables they bought were all swept away.

Looking at their confused eyes, I said while drinking: "Zhou Tong, today's meal should be our casual meal, before leaving, I have to call you brother." There are also six sons, if you count your age, you are also older than me, so I will call you Brother Liuzi. ”

Zhou Tong laughed when he heard this, and said happily: "Eh, this brother can make me wait for Lao Zhou." ”

"Heh," I smirked, and then said, "Did you say that Brother Yao had come back a long time ago?" And then where to hide and watch us laugh? Liuzi squinted his eyes, put down the empty cup and shook his head: "No, Brother Yao will definitely find us if he comes back." Zhou Tong echoed on the side: "Yes, our situation is getting worse and worse, if Brother Yao comes back, he must have found a way to save us." ”

"But didn't you say he was only out for a month? Why didn't you return for three months this time? ”

"I don't know, so I'm in a hurry with Liuzi."

"Then let's go find him, don't if something happens to him, we might be able to help." I proposed.

Zhou Tong smiled bitterly and said, "I want to, but we don't know where Brother Yao is." Alas, don't talk about it, little sister, let's have another toast, sixth son? Lying down? It's really useless. Next to him, the six sons were already lying on the table and falling asleep.

I learned that he was also lying on the table, and there was liquid sliding down on his face buried in the crook of his arm, thinking that they were lying to me, and wanted to use the most lame way to get the truth out of their mouths, but I didn't know the truth There were only three words: I don't know. They really don't know where Sheng Shiyao is!

When a person leaves, the traces of his existence disappear, and even those who were closest to him have no way of knowing where he is.

That afternoon, I set out on my way home. Before that, Zhou Tong and Liuzi were fed sobering pills, and they waited for them to sober up before leaving alone. When I arrived at the door of the house, it was almost late at night, and I was thinking about whether to knock on the door to wake up Aunt Mei or find a nearby place to rest for the night, but the house key was lost along with the backpack when I was in the Soul City.

I'm sorry for Aunt Mei in my heart, in Jingzhou's March, I also wanted to contact her, but every time I picked up the phone, I was afraid that Aunt Mei on the other side would ask me to come back. At that time, I was obsessed with it, and I didn't wait for someone to swear that I wouldn't give up, how could I be willing to return? Thinking that Yang Wenhao would report his safety to Aunt Mei when he came back anyway, he didn't make a single phone call.

In the end, I decided to wait until tomorrow morning to come back, but when I turned around, I suddenly saw a car coming, and when I looked at it, I found that it seemed to be Aunt Mei's, the car was parked thirty or forty meters away, and it wasn't Aunt Mei who came out of the car? I was amazed at the moment, how could Aunt Mei come back so late? She pinched her eyebrows as she walked, looking tired.

It wasn't until I got closer that Aunt Mei found me, and after being stunned for two seconds, she hesitated to ask, "Ah Xiao?" ”

I shouted softly and Aunt Mei stepped forward, and after she looked at me carefully, she frowned and asked, "Why didn't you come back until now?" "I was prepared to be blamed, so I kept silent and waited to be criticized, but Aunt Mei's next sentence shocked me in place.

"Ah Xiao, do you know that your grandmother is awake?"

"Grandma woke up? When did you wake up? "I can't believe my ears, my grandmother has had a strange illness for 14 years, during which Aunt Mei has sought countless medical treatments to no avail, and I have wandered around looking for Huang Xingyuan, and finally many things have happened, not to say, in fact, my heart has begun to despair, and now Aunt Mei said that my grandmother has woken up.

"I woke up a few days ago, but the signs were two months ago, first the heart rate became stable, then the pulse was beating weakly, and a month ago I noticed that the snort was also there. The doctor couldn't find out the cause, only said it was a miracle. In the past few days, I suddenly woke up, but I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't recognize anyone, and I couldn't speak. ”

My eyes were hot, and I took Aunt Mei's hand and said excitedly, "I'm going to see my grandmother." ”

Half an hour later, I was standing in front of my grandmother's bed. Aunt Mei drove away after dropping me off, she had to go to the gallery tomorrow, and she had classes in the afternoon, and since she regained her breath a month ago, she came to take care of her grandmother every day after work, and she didn't go back until night, no wonder she looked tired.

She said that since I was back, I should also guard my grandmother, maybe my grandmother would recognize me when she woke up, and then she would slowly recover. In fact, this is also to say, I was only eleven years old when my grandmother had an accident, and now it has been fourteen years, and I am no longer the yellow-haired girl I was back then, and I have grown into an adult, and it would be strange for my grandmother to recognize me.

I have measured my heartbeat, pulse, and breathing, and I have indeed recovered. When I came on the way, I learned from Aunt Mei that the signs of my grandmother's recovery appeared during the day, and she was working in the gallery, and she received a call from the nursing home and hurried to see it, and it was true. After my mood calmed down, I secretly planned to go to Zhang Juan, that is, my grandmother's nurse, after dawn to ask about the specific situation.

But when I went to inquire the next day, I found that Zhang Juan had resigned, and the dean said that in recent months, my grandmother's daily life has been taken care of by the volunteers in the hospital. I asked where the volunteers were, and the dean shook his head and said that the volunteers did not live in the hospital, but went to the hospital in cycles to carry out voluntary work, and it happened that the two-month volunteer labor cycle expired yesterday, so they would not come again.

How could it be so coincidental? Exactly two months, and exactly yesterday?

I thought about it and asked the dean if he could show me the brief information of the volunteers who took care of my grandmother, I believe that such an organization must have had a strict review of foreign volunteers, and it is impossible to say that people should stay in their jobs rashly.

Originally, the dean was reluctant, saying that it was a violation of the labor contract and that the volunteers should not be exposed. But in the end, I was anxious to know the details of my grandmother's illness, so I found the information of the volunteer. It is said that it is information, but it is actually a form with personal information such as name and age, as well as what volunteer experience you have had, and which organization recommended you to come this time.

When I put down the form, there was a cloud of doubt in my mind. There was nothing wrong with the volunteer information itself, but the problem was that the volunteer was a man, which was much more than I expected.
