Chapter 9: Evil
As soon as he thought of what happened a while ago, Xiang Lei had a headache, and he thought that those two people were very strange. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and he came all the way according to the address, but the result was still in vain. He really doesn't have any clues now. But it's no wonder that at the beginning, the information he learned about An Qing was not very comprehensive. It's just that he's never felt that way in his life. I always feel like there's a reason for it.
This situation was known to Zishen from the moment he learned that An Qing embarked on the journey. And this is better understood by An Qing, who has already been in contact with it once. What's more, her sense of Xiang Lei is far stronger than anyone else. Since An Qing has no intention of going to Xiang Lei, it may not be the right time. After all, no one else can help her projection. It's better to go with the flow, maybe An Qing will understand.
After Xiang Lei's inquiry, he learned that no one lives here at present, but someone told him that there was indeed a little girl who lived in this courtyard before, and no one knew where she went. It seems that the address is correct, and it will inevitably take a lot of trouble to find her.
It's been a while since he came to Hwaseong, and he really likes the city. Compared to the previous city, it is more suitable for a person who has no one to rely on. If he had forgotten Wang Xu's words, it was just subconscious repression. Humans are such wonderful creatures, your body is injured, and your own immune system will help you repair the wound. And when you are mentally injured, the psychological defense mechanism will also help you repair and protect the life you can continue to live. Some psychological defense mechanisms are conscious, while others are unconscious. There may be some elements of self-deprecation in the consciousness, but is it good to completely unconsciously suppress it? The events that are suppressed in the bottom of the heart, no matter what, will continue to consume the individual's psychological energy. What happens when the peak is reached? Nervous breakdown? Or is it completely out of control?
For Xiang Lei, this consciousness will exist forever. Just because he doesn't want to forget, he has indeed been diagnosed as a person living with HIV now. Just like the rumors of the time. And so what, life goes on. At the beginning, he also took the initiative to decide whether to continue to move forward or to the left, which is no wonder to others, let alone Wang Xu. Wang Xu also asked him once, and he was sure that he was not sure. Now that you have affirmed the answer, the responsibility is your own. But it is undeniable that that time with Wang Xu will be cherished forever. And Wang Xu, his silence may be a punishment for Xiang Lei, maybe it is a punishment for everyone, or maybe it is also a punishment for himself.
During this time, Xiang Lei did some part-time odd jobs during the day. And the evening after work is the moment he enjoys the most. When he finished running, he was sweating profusely and sitting on the mountainside of Qishan Mountain blowing the evening breeze, which made him feel so comfortable. What used to be boring is now very different. Looking at the sunset, he never felt that his psychology would become so delicate now, it was indeed fate that changed him, and Xiang Lei didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and even felt that this was a lesson in advance.
It's just that every time I talk to my parents. Naturally, the topic of marriage is indispensable, after all, the boss is not small. For all the comrades in the circle, marriage is tantamount to deception and imprisonment. But Xiang Lei felt that he might not fall in love with a man other than Wang Xu, he might be a special existence. And the matter of marriage is even more important for conservative parents, before having children, they want to have a child and make the family complete. And after having a child, the ideal has become to see the child start a family and start a family, and the family is harmonious. But does it really make sense to go on in such an infinite loop? After all, the concept of family is different for everyone, and family is not synonymous with happiness.
Xiang Lei couldn't help but smile bitterly, now, he doesn't even have the confidence to explain a false marriage to his parents. After all, if you are a man, how can you harm others? It's also uncomfortable to hide the fact that someone else has AIDS, let alone someone who wants to get married. This kind of thing is something he can't do.
"Hum-hum-" The phone in Xiang Lei's pocket vibrate.
"Huh?" Xiang Lei saw that it was his mother's call, so he answered it.
"Hello? Mother? What's up. Xiang Lei asked.
"It's okay, Mom called to ask how you were doing." Xiang Lei's mother spoke a little deliberately, as if something had happened.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Lei felt that something was wrong.
The mother collapsed at once, choked up and said, "Your father...... Your dad is sick and is bedridden at home. The doctor said he might not be able to ....... ”
"Mom, don't worry, I'll rush back as soon as possible." Xiang Lei comforted his mother.
"Well......," replied the mother feebly.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Lei's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he couldn't believe this reality. My father is in very good health on weekdays, how could something so sudden happen. Fortunately, this place is not very far from his home, Xiang Lei booked the high-speed rail at that time, and he got on the train before he had time to pack his luggage. Xiang Lei was uneasy all the way, and after arriving in Qinger City, he went through several transfers to his village.
"Mom!!" Xiang Lei shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the house.
When her mother came out of the back room, Xiang Lei saw her haggard appearance, and hugged her distressedly.
"I'm back, Mom, don't worry, I'm here." Xiang Lei said firmly.
"Woo-ha-ha-ha-" The mother in her arms burst into a shrill laugh.
Xiang Lei was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, feeling that something was wrong.
"Is that how you want to pass on HIV to me? It's not okay to just hug me. At this time, she was not at all like her mother's tone, and she became yin and yang.
"Mom......?" Xiang Lei couldn't see his mother's feelings from her face at all. Xiang Lei asked eagerly: "Who are you!?" What about my family!! Xiang Lei said eagerly.
"I'm your mother, why don't you remember me?" She asked suddenly, very gently.
"You!" It was unbelievable, Xiang Lei had no idea what was going on. This woman is obviously her mother's appearance, but ......
"Come and see your father, the doctor in the village said he was bedridden, what should I do?" She said innocently, and then walked to the bedroom, Xiang Lei didn't know what was wrong, and followed her in a trance. When she arrived at Xiang Lei's father's bedside, she quickly pulled out a fruit knife from her sleeve. Poked a few times through the quilt. Suddenly, blood stained the thin white quilt blood-red.
"What are you doing!" Xiang Lei was shocked by her move and immediately pushed her aside. He was now pretty sure that this person was not his mother.
"Look at you, you misunderstood me, didn't you! I'm seeing your dad. She propped herself up with her hands and slowly approached Xiang Lei. Xiang Lei looked at her in horror, helpless.
"Good son, don't be afraid, I don't believe you lifted the quilt." The woman looked at Xiang Lei and said. Xiang Lei seemed to be out of control, trembling and slowly lifting the quilt.
"Gross-" A rotten smell suddenly hit, and Xiang Lei was so smoked by the smell that he almost vomited out.
"Huh? What are you doing! You see, how cute they are. She smiled nervously and added, "You know what? They're called robbers, but they're actually very industrious. You see, each of their little ones has a small piece of your dad's meat in their mouth, and they can build an ant nest with the stickiness and antiseptic effect of their saliva. ”
Her excited expression made people shudder, as if they were her "children", and her eyes flashed with love. She pointed to Xiang Lei's father's chest, and continued: "Look, isn't the little ant nest they built very cute. They're my favorite dark creatures, hee-hee. "His entire chest has been eaten away. Inside are densely stacked with spherical ant nests. It can't help but give people goosebumps.
"You!" Xiang Lei's eyes were full of tears, and with all the strength of his body, he swung hard and hit her face fiercely.
"Click-" and her face cracked instantly. Then, a black maggot fell to the ground.
"Oops! What are you doing, hurting my darling? Come down, babies. It turned out that all of her exposed skin was densely covered with deformed black maggots, and they pierced her face like pieces of flat cloth, making her look like Xiang Lei's mother. In an instant, all the black maggots returned to their original bodies, fat flesh bodies. They crackled and fell to the ground. Then, it quickly burrowed into the ground and disappeared!
"Huh! I pretended to be pretty good, I wanted to play a little longer. Practicing my acting skills will help me a lot in the future. She stroked her hair, her eyes lit up, and she continued: "After all, people don't flow by brute force. ”
Xiang Lei next to him was stunned, and he froze there all the time, motionless.
"I ...... What about my mother! Xiang Lei was so angry that he couldn't help himself.
"What a stupid thing! Of course I was eaten by my baby maggot, otherwise how could I be your mother? Aha! She laughed hysterically as she spoke.
"You demon!" Xiang Lei rushed forward, and with a "snap-" sound, a palm burst up and choked her throat. But no matter how hard Xiang Lei tried, he felt that he couldn't use his strength. He felt something stab his hand, and in an instant his entire right arm was paralyzed. It turned out that her neck was densely covered with a layer of robber ants, and Xiang Lei's hands were paralyzed by their venom just now.
"No more playing!" Her face changed suddenly. Close your eyes slightly, as if you are enjoying yourself. Then, all the robbers on Xiang Lei's father swarmed up, stinging all over Xiang Lei's body, he couldn't dodge, and fell to the ground in an instant. Immobile.
"You...... Who are you? Xiang Lei asked in a daze.
I saw her smile flatteringly, sat directly on him, and said a few words in his ear, and suddenly, Xiang Lei was dumbfounded. Then she gently took a bite into his hall. "Ahh
Xiang Lei's eyes suddenly lost their expression, and his body instantly froze like a stone. At that moment, Xiang Lei seemed to see Wang Xu waving to him. Without a hint of hesitation, he stepped forward and took his hand. They looked at each other affectionately, perhaps, only this "place" can allow them to truly survive in society, unrestrained, unabashed......
"Humph! It turned out that some of the souls had been melted away by that slut. She said angrily, and kicked him hard. In an instant, Xiang Lei's ashes disappeared.
"But," she continued nervously, "what are you going to do now...... An Qing? ”
