Twenty years ago.

I was led by a man in the dark alleyway, I could only see the man's general figure, but I couldn't see his face clearly, I followed him the whole time, he didn't say a word, I didn't say a word, until I reached the end of the alleyway, there was a door, the man knocked on the door, and then there was a long silence.

After a while, the door opened, and I saw a man appear in the door, he looked at me and then at the man, and let out a surprised voice: "Is he?" ”

Then the man who took me with him spoke, "Can you help me take care of him?" ”

The man on the other side nodded, and he asked again, "What about the other people who went with you?" ”

The man holding me said, "I'm the only one who came out." ”

The man on the other side sighed, and didn't speak anymore, he reached out to lead me, I looked up at the man holding me, at this time I saw some of his face clearly, and asked him: "Uncle Fan Zhen, where are you going?" ”

Anyway, he looked at me and said, "I'm in danger now, you live here first." ”

I looked at the person in front of me again, and the person in front of me pulled me over, just to say to Fan Zhen: "Then you should be careful." ”

Fan Zhen said: "Take good care of him. ”

Then Fan Zhen turned around and left, and when he took a few steps, the person holding me shouted: "Fan Zhen! ”

Fan Zhen turned his head and looked at the person behind him, but the man didn't say anything, and only said after a while: "What's his name?" ”

Fan Zhen said: "In the future, his name will be He Yang." ”

After saying that, Fan Zhen disappeared into the dark alleyway, I looked at the man holding me, but I was not afraid because of the unfamiliar environment, but asked him, "What is this place?" ”

This man squatted down and touched my face and said to me, "This is Mapo Town, my name is Cao Guang." ”

Since the memory has stopped, this memory is like a broken fragment, falling out of the depths of the mind, and finally appearing in the memory, every scene, every dialogue, is clearly in the mind, ringing in the ears.

Ah Jun has left, I don't know when he left, when I woke up, I saw Zhang Ziang standing in front of me, he looked at me with a gloomy face, saw that my eyes were clear and asked me: "What did you just say your name?" ”

I looked at him, he had heard my self-talk just now, and I had already remembered my name, so I looked at him and said, "My name is Mo Ziyu." ”

Zhang Ziang said: "This is not your name, before we left, Team Fan specially told me, and he asked me to tell you that your name is He Yang, and you only have the name He Yang." ”

I looked at Zhang Ziang, and the figure of Fan Zhen leaving in the alleyway came to mind again, with his words - he will be called He Yang in the future.

This sentence was like a distant soundproofing, echoing in my ears from afar, and I repeated it in a trance: "My name is He Yang? ”

Zhang Ziang firmly took my words at this time and said, "You are He Yang." ”

I was awakened by Zhang Ziang's words, looking at him, Zhang Ziang also looked at me, he put his hand on my shoulder, and he said: "No matter what you think of, you only need to remember one thing, you are He Yang, not anyone." ”

But I still felt a little confused, and sitting on the bed seemed to have a deep sense of unreality, and then I said to Zhang Ziang: "I've been here and seen a person from Cao Guang. ”

Zhang Ziang didn't seem to listen to me at all, he said, "Come and see." ”

Then he took me to the window, and asked me to look out of the window, only to see that by the light of the courtyard, I saw a person standing in the shadow outside the courtyard gate, but the position he chose was just enough for you to see his figure, but he couldn't see his face at all, only the lower half of his body was clear, and the upper body, especially his face, was completely hidden in the darkness and could not be distinguished.

I was shocked for a moment, completely recovered from the panic just now, and I asked Zhang Ziang, "Who is this person?" ”

Zhang Ziang said: "Since the two children in his family had an abnormality, this person has been standing there. ”

I heard what Zhang Ziang meant, and I asked, "Are you saying that this person has something to do with the bald leper?" ”

Zhang Ziang said: "I think it has something to do with you." ”

I was shocked: "Something to do with me?" ”

Zhang Ziang said: "First, after coming here, the bald leper died, and immediately your photo album appeared here, and it seems that the bald leper and you can be connected." Second, you just said that you have been here before and have met someone named Cao Guang, so that means that you have lived here. ”

Zhang Ziang paused when he said this, looked outside, seemed to confirm whether this person was still there, and then continued: "Then according to this line of thought, from the beginning, the ambush team asked you to come is not actually that the ambush team has something hidden here, but it is related to this place, it is you who have something hidden here, and the ambush team is just using such an excuse to let you use this to find out the truth of the matter, so can it be understood that it is precisely because you are coming that the bald leper will die, because he is very likely to know you." ”

I wasn't surprised that Zhang Ziang said such a thing, if I had thought it was incredible before, but I don't know why, now my heart has no waves, but it is quiet and scary, I didn't speak to reply to Zhang Ziang, just thinking about a question, why did Fan Zhen bring me here in the first place, so where was I before, his conversation with Cao Guang was very strange, Fan Zhen told Cao Guang that the rest of the people were dead, who were the others?

I looked at the people outside the window, so I said to Zhang Ziang, "Why don't we go out and see who this person is?" ”

Zhang Ziang shook his head, and said, "I don't agree with your proposal. ”

I asked, "Why?" ”

"It's not the time to be impatient, and I think there's another thing we need to figure out," Zhang said. ”

I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Ziangcai said: "Don't you think it's strange in this family, there are obviously a lot of people, but the whole house is just like just the two of us, and the others are like a group of dead people." ”

I "chuckled" in my heart, but said, "Isn't it like this when people fall asleep at night?" ”

Zhang Ziang said: "It's different, you can't even feel the traces of someone living in it." ”

I looked at Zhang Ziang and felt that he seemed to have something to say, so I asked him, "What do you want to say?" ”

Zhang Ziang said: "What if we were in a scam from the beginning? ”

When I heard him say this, I suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of my feet, and Zhang Ziang continued: "What if there is no bald leper at all? ”

I only felt that this chill had completely reached the back of my head, and even made my whole body tremble, as if I suddenly understood what Zhang Ziang was going to say, and then said, "You mean here...... Then the ...... of the ambush team"

I just felt that my brain couldn't pretend to be a little over, and my speech began to be intermittent, and I only felt that if what Zhang Ziang said was true, then what was the reason for this?

Zhang Ziang said: "I noticed it when I entered the village, I don't know if you noticed it." ”

I asked, "What?" ”

Zhang Ziang said: "The four people who carried the coffin, the weight of the coffin was obviously wrong, and the weight of the lifting bar on their shoulders was not right, if there was a dead person inside, then it should not be just such a weight, so I speculated at that time that the coffin was empty and there was no body." ”

I didn't gnaw, looked at Zhang Ziang, Zhang Ziang said: "At that time, I didn't think that there was no bald leper this layer, just thinking that since the body was not in the coffin, where did it go, it should still be at home, so we came to his house, but if according to the information we learned, the bald leper died in the yard, then there should be some traces left in the yard, but according to my observation, the place they described has not been washed out, but there is no trace of the corpse struggling, This is because paraquat is painful before death, and it is bound to struggle violently in place, leaving some obvious and easy to judge marks, but it is not. ”
