The face in his mind, the eyes that had been staring for a long time, made Ji Zimo shine. He remembered why this face had a sense of déjà vu, lifted the cover, and went to the drawer to take out the album.

Ji Zimo flattened the album book and turned to the page where the whole article was a photo of his grandmother.

This is Ji Zimo's father's most complete album of his grandmother from youth to aging until she died, and his eyes are fixed on a photo of his grandmother wearing a cheongsam when she is young.

Yes, this is the picture. The woman Ji Zimo saw in his dream was his grandmother? There is also the font of the lintel last season, which is what it hints at!

In the middle of his head, Ji Zimo faintly felt that the headache began again. Every time he had a headache, or before going to bed, he had to take a pill. Taking this medicine can help him sleep and allow him to avoid nightmares until dawn.

Saying; It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous.

If you take too much of this medicine, you will also have side effects. That is memory decline, increasing the aging rate of physical cells, Ji Zimo doesn't want to become a little old man at a young age. So if you can endure it, you can endure it, and last night he insisted on not taking medicine.

But now that he had to eat, the pain was spreading, from right to left, and then the sound of tinnitus buzzing upset him.

After a sip of warm water and a pill, Ji Zimo lay back on the bed at half past four in the morning. The eyelids close the real world, enter the darkness, the consciousness is blurred, and the whole body is light and fluttering without a headache.

Ji Zimo didn't feel like he was sleeping, he was walking. Keep walking, walking on a road with no end, all the eyes see are gray tones, static objects.

He's looking for someone.

Who to look for? Ji Zimo asked himself countless times, but he couldn't find a suitable answer.

Ji Zimo remembers that it was Sunday as soon as it dawned. He can sleep lazy, turn off the phone, don't worry about those troubles, don't worry about that charred corpse, and don't run in vain between Shilin and Cai Xiaolan before and after the saddle.

But why should I walk? Why haven't I met a familiar person! Ji Zimo wondered looking around, feeling that his eyes were coming from all directions, but he couldn't see the form.

Observation hidden in the shadows?

"Hey, Ji Zimo, what are you doing?" The crisp shout made Ji Zimo stunned, and the person who shouted him seriously was a familiar face. For a moment, he couldn't remember who she was, so he froze in place and looked down at the sight of others. it! He was barefoot, his feet were full of mud and sand particles, and his white soles were pitiful and slightly red.

"Are you alright?"

Ji Zimo remembered who she was this time, Zhu Yimeng.

Zhu Yimeng and Wu Wu swung in front of Ji Zimo as if they were cramping, wanting to make sure if he was awake, and shouted, "Hey, do you know who I am?" ”

Ji Zimo didn't make a sound, lowered his head, and wanted to run away from Zhu Yimeng's eyes like the wind. It's big, why did you sleepwalk after taking medicine last night? He secretly scolded himself for being confused, ignoring Zhu Yimeng's roar, and ran back in a hundred-meter sprint.

Zhu Yimeng was unwilling to let go of Ji Zimo, who was finally found.

Ji Zimo ran on the road with his arms covered in his face, afraid that his acquaintances would see him, and he was afraid of entertaining all kinds of difficult topics, so he could only run. God, he is barefoot, although the road is not as potholed as the rural machine road, it is still a little uncomfortable, and there may be iron nails on the road.

So he couldn't run far, so he stopped, raised his foot to see that there was something nailed to the soles of his feet, a little black, and his fingers touched the pain of his heart.

Hiss! Ji Zimo screamed and could only jump up and walk on one foot.

The old man who walked early with a birdcage in his hand thought it was funny: "Hey, young man, the fitness method you have been playing recently and jumping on one foot?" ”

"Hey, no, I ......" Ji Zimo didn't reply, and the old man had already walked away with his birdcage.

At this moment, a car came to Ji Zimo silently.

Ji Zimo saw the wheels first, then followed the wheels to see the handlebars, and saw the face of the pedaler. He was slightly stunned, and the other party was also looking at him, and then, each other let out surprised sounds.

Zhu Yimeng came and didn't see Ji Zimo. Seeing a car, the two-wheeled bicycle was obviously faster than her, and the car was Ji Zimo pedaling vigorously, and a person was sitting in the back seat of the car.

This is a man she knows.

Zhu Yimeng fought hard to catch up, but he didn't believe that they would go into the sky.

I felt that it was not good to run for a while, her foot sprained just right, and my cousin said that she couldn't use force. If it's serious, you can't move a single step, you can only stay at home, and you won't be able to go.

Zhu Yimeng couldn't chase anymore, and tried to squeeze out a smile to ask passers-by about the address of the barefoot man just now, and in which direction he was going.

If anyone knows Ji Zimo, tell her.

There are people who don't know her who think she's crazy, who would play barefoot and walk briskly early in the morning.

There are still many good people in this world, and after Zhu Yimeng's meticulous inquiry and vivid comparison, she found Ji Zimo's home, Shengshi Xianghe Community.

It's the same area as her, but it's not the same building.

One is Building A and the other is Building B.

Okay, it doesn't take much effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it, Zhu Yimeng was secretly proud, grabbed a handful of air in his hand, pinched five slender fingers, and exaggerated an ugly expression and said: "See if you can escape from my aunt's Five Finger Mountain?" ”

Facing this door, Zhu Yimeng's unprecedented nervousness forced her to take a deep breath, and then searched her stomach to weave a large number of reasons for knocking on the door, and then raised her hand-

She didn't knock, the door opened, and through the crack in the door came the voices of a man and a woman in the room.

"Oh, it's so deep, does it hurt?"

"It hurts."

"It's bleeding, you tap."

"Don't move, I'll pull it out slowly."

"Hiss~"

originally thought that the characters of the pair of people in it had the opposite dialogue. The ambiguous tone of dialogue angered Zhu Yimeng, who was standing outside the door, and she slammed the door open, stunned by the scene in front of her.

The soles of Ji Zimo's feet were oozing blood, and Su Qingmei on the side was using tweezers to clamp a hatless pin in the center of his foot.

"Cousin." Zhu Yimeng lowered his head embarrassedly and shouted in a low voice.

Su Qingmei shook his head and said angrily: "Look at your big grin, how is the foot injury?" ”

"Much better." When Zhu Yimeng replied, he secretly glanced at Ji Zimo, who was grinning in pain, and said, "He...... You okay? ”

"Him?" Su Qingmei quickly glanced at Ji Zimo, and then suddenly realized: "The person you are talking about is him?" ”

"Hmm."

"Oh." Su Qingmei smiled unnaturally, put the pushpin on the tweezers in the trash can, and went to disinfect it with cotton wool and iodine to help Ji Zimo.

From beginning to end, Ji Zimo didn't speak, his brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat were faintly oozing from his forehead, which seemed to be really painful.

Zhu Yimeng wondered how his cousin met him.

Su Qingmei took iodophor and gently wiped it on the wound, looked at his watch after finishing his work, and said apologetically to Ji Zimo: "I'm late, I have to go to work, you ...... Be careful not to touch raw water to prevent infection. ”

"Clear your eyebrows." Ji Zimo shouted, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Zhu Yimeng looked at his cousin, looked at Ji Zimo, and said, "You two know each other?" ”

"I've known each other for a long time." Su Qingmei cleaned up, didn't say anything to Ji Zimo, ignored his gaze and walked to the door, hesitated for a moment and turned to him: "Zhu Yimeng is my cousin, she likes you." Then the door opened, regardless of Ji Zimo's expression and feelings, Gu Zi left.

Zhu Yimeng and Ji Zimo were left in the house.

Ji Zimo suddenly felt that Zhu Yimeng was Ji Shanshan's dog named Jimmy.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Zimo worked hard, hung one foot, and jumped in a pattern towards Zhu Yimeng, who wanted to help him, with a gloomy face and no good air.

"I, I'm here to see you."

"You've seen it all, laugh if you want! Laugh and fuck off. ”

"You." Zhu Yimeng was furious, and scolded him: "You like my cousin, there is no door, she has a fiancé, and she will get married next month." ”

The encounter with Su Qingmei after a long absence made Ji Zimo's silent heart ripple again with a circle of courtship. Listening to Zhu Yimeng's words now, it is tantamount to a thunderbolt, shattering his only wish.

He turned around slowly, glared at each other with an unforgivable and terrifying gaze, and a word burst out from between his teeth: "Get out." ”

Because of a night's yearning and longing, Zhu Yimeng lost sleep.

She believed in the edge of the eye, and at first glance she had a good impression of this enigmatic man. She told her cousin that she had met the prince charming of her dreams, and said that if she found the first one, she would let her cousin see it for reference.

Unexpectedly, my cousin and Prince Charming have known each other for a long time.

Judging from the expressions of the two of them, it seems that there is more than just acquaintance.

At this moment, Ji Zimo's words were like a scoop of ice water, drenching her from head to toe when she was chasing her with joy.

Zhu Yimeng went out of Ji Zimo's house in despair, and unexpectedly bumped into a strange drooling man in front of him.

The man grinned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Maniac...... The madman ...... "The other party is a madman, Zhu Yimeng saw this face, and she was so frightened that she screamed and ran away."

Ji Zimo sat sullenly on the sofa.

There was a knock at the door, and he scolded angrily: "Don't get out yet?" ”

"Ji Zimo, it's me."

Ji Zimo went to open the door, and a madman's face appeared at the door. I'm not used to it, I always think he's crazy, I wanted to close the door, but I opened the door against my will.

It's Stone Forest back.

"She's fine!"

"No, I just met a woman, she ......"

"Zhu Yimeng, a neurotic."

"Oh, she's a psycho and calls me crazy." Shi Lin sat down and looked for something to eat.

Ji Zimo watched Shi Lin gobble up a third of the food in the refrigerator.

"Why are you eating so much?"

Shi Lin grabbed bread in one hand and ham sausage in the other, chewing in his mouth, and said, "Hungry." ”

Ji Zimo was so tired, he started walking from four o'clock in the morning, he walked from this neighborhood to that neighborhood, and finally walked to the road and met Su Qingmei.

"I met her."

Stone Forest stopped chewing "Who?" ”

"Su Qingmei."

"Make no mistake!"

"No, she's getting married."

"She told you?"

"It was the neurotic who told me." Ji Zimo habitually stroked the bridge of his nose.

I said. Can you break this bad habit? Shi Lin touched his stomach and hiccuped with satisfaction, and corrected Ji Zimo.

Ji Zimo knew what Shi Lin's words meant. He was accustomed to the action of caressing the eyes of the corpse, and unconsciously brought it to life.

"Take a break, I'll take a leave of absence to visit your hometown?" He was asking for Shi Lin's opinion.

"Didn't you say that you would go to Cai Xiaolan's house?" Shi Lin came back in a hurry. He slept on the hospital chair last night, and rushed back because he thought of going to Cai Xiaolan's house.
