Chapter 1 Meeting and parting
"Ahh
With a heavy gasp in the hospital corridor, Zhong Xu opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the door of the emergency room that had long been closed in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Twenty-five years old is a catastrophe, whether you live or die depends on yourself!" The words left by Grandpa before leaving rang in Zhong Xu's ears again. Zhong Xu came back to his senses suddenly, and then remembered that his grandfather's body had been pushed out by Zhang Liang. Getting up and sitting up straight, Zhong Xu wiped the cold sweat on his head, took out a cigarette, and was just about to take out the lighter, when he saw the nurse at the consultation station dozens of meters away staring at him, as well as the cigarette in his hand.
With a wry smile, Zhong Xu smiled apologetically at the nurse, put the cigarette in his pocket, got up and glanced at the emergency room in front of him again, and turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Zhong Xu didn't know why his grandfather left such an inexplicable sentence for himself before he died. I have hardly seen my grandfather in the countryside since I was a child. I don't know why my parents don't allow me to go to the countryside, and I don't want to call my grandfather, and even mentioning my grandfather's name at home will make my parents' faces very ugly.
Zhong Xu only knows one thing, that is, grandpa is really good to him. Since I was a child, my grandfather would occasionally sneak to the city to see himself, and every time he came, he would bring himself a lot of food. If he can't come at home, his grandfather will go to the school gate to wait for Zhong Xu, and then put some strange things he made on Zhong Xu, and tell him that he can't take them off no matter what.
Although he was careful, the gadgets that his grandfather gave him were eventually discovered by his parents. After a big fuss, my father drove to the countryside overnight, heard that he had a big fight with my grandfather, told him not to come close to me again, and then threw the door away.
Since then, Zhong Xu has never seen his grandfather again. When he was in college in the middle, Zhong Xu also flipped through the old address recorded at home, and then secretly went to the countryside to find his grandfather during his vacation, but every time he returned in vain. The address written in the notebook is nowhere to be found.
When they met again, Zhong Xu didn't expect it to be the final parting with his grandfather.
A man named Zhang Liang found Zhong Xu at the school gate and told him that his grandfather was no longer good. But when he was dying, the old man said that he had to see Zhong Xu, otherwise he would not be blind.
Looking at Zhang Liang, who was wearing glasses in front of him, Zhong Xu had no doubts. I don't know why, he just inexplicably believed that the tall and thin man in front of him followed him to the hospital.
Walking to the elevator smoking place at the end of the hospital corridor, Zhong Xu took out the crumpled cigarette in his pocket and put it in his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a deep breath.
When he put the lighter back, Zhong Xu's fingers touched a hard object in his pocket. took it out and looked at it, and Zhong Xu remembered that this was given to him by Zhang Liang when he left. At that time, due to excessive sadness, Zhong Xu just took it and threw it into his pocket and forgot to read it.
With the help of the light in the corridor, Zhong Xu opened the note. It seems to be an address written on it, and this address Zhong Xu seems to have seen somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while.
After flipping through the note in his hand a few times and making sure that it was just a simple address, Zhong Xu shrugged his shoulders, threw the note into his pocket, walked to the elevator and pressed the elevator button.
It's already past midnight, and I won't be able to get in when I go back to school. Zhong Xu looked at the scattered passers-by on the street, took out the only hundred yuan in his pocket, and went into a guest house not far away.
"Excuse me, is there still a room?" Zhong Xu walked to the counter and said politely to the fat woman who was sitting in the middle with his back to him watching a Korean drama.
"ID card!" The fat woman seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhong Xu's intrusion at this time to disturb her entanglement with Oba in the TV series, she glanced at Zhong Xu angrily, got up and spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth, stretched out her chubby hand and shook the registration computer that had already gone black.
Zhong Xu was not angry, took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to the fat woman, and then looked around.
However, just as Zhong Xu turned his head to the stairs on the left, a girl wearing short sleeves met Zhong Xu's eyes. The girl was wearing thin pink short sleeves and a pair of pale jeans, and was holding a tattered puppet in her hand, standing on the second floor of the stairs with a blank face, looking at Zhong Xu who was registering in a daze.
Zhong Xu smiled at the girl friendlyly, not wanting the girl to still be expressionless, staring at himself in a daze, Zhong Xu stood up with goosebumps all over his body.
"Boss, your child?" Zhong Xu took his eyes off the stairs and smiled at the fat woman who was still slowly entering her ID card.
"What kid? My wife is not married yet! The fat woman glanced at Zhong Xu, and her eyes expressed strong dissatisfaction and indignation towards Zhong Xu. Here you go! The fat woman finally finished entering Zhong Xu's ID card tremblingly, took the key from the cabinet and threw it on the counter, and impatiently turned around and leaned in front of the computer and pressed the space bar.
"Money?" Zhong Xu couldn't help but laugh and looked at the fat woman with a hundred yuan. The fat woman waved her hand impatiently and said, "Oh, you are not annoyed, give it tomorrow, give it tomorrow!" ”
Looking at the fat woman's impatient appearance, Zhong Xu helplessly picked up the key and ID card on the counter, put the money in his pocket, turned around and glanced at the room number on the key, and walked towards the stairs.
Just after walking a few steps, Zhong Xu suddenly remembered something, raised his head and looked at the corridor, and found that the little girl just now didn't know when she had left. I don't know whose child is wearing so thin in winter, tightening his down jacket, Zhong Xu walked quickly upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhong Xu immediately frowned. I wanted to come in and take a hot shower to sleep, but the whole room was only a bed and an old dresser. Not to mention taking a bath, there is not even a place to wash your face.
Who makes it cheap, Zhong Xu reluctantly turned on the light in the house, folded the clothes and put them next to the pillow, lifted the quilt and was about to lie in, when he suddenly found that there was a set of red old-fashioned women's wedding dresses pressed under the quilt.
Frowning, Zhong Xu swept his eyes and found that there seemed to be a person standing behind him. Turning back suddenly, Zhong Xu screamed, and the whole person slipped under his feet and fell heavily to the ground.
Standing behind him was none other than the little girl standing at the top of the stairs just now. The girl was the same as just now, wearing thin clothes, looking at Zhong Xu with empty eyes, and the doll in her hand swayed as if she was moving.
"You... Whose child are you....! Although Zhong Xu was frightened, Zhong Xu, who had not thought of ghosts and gods since he was a child, felt that he might have sneaked in because he didn't close the door properly. Holding on to the wall and standing up slowly, Zhong Xu was just about to walk forward, when the girl suddenly smiled, raised her head and stared at Zhong Xu viciously, and muttered something silently in her mouth.
The sound coming out of the girl's mouth did not belong to a five- or six-year-old child at all. It was an extremely high-pitched voice, like the hoarse roar of a soprano singer whose throat had been suppressed.
Zhong Xu was so frightened by the sound coming from the girl's mouth that he took a step back, and sat directly on the big red wedding dress on the bed. When the girl saw Zhong Xu sitting on the red wedding dress, the whole person became even more weird, the roar in her mouth became louder and louder, and she raised her feet and walked towards Zhong Xu mechanically.
Zhong Xu vaguely heard the girl seem to be shouting, "My clothes, my clothes!" Only then did he realize that he was sitting on the wedding dress on the bed, and hurriedly stood up and leaned against the wall and waved his hand with a frightened face, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
"I'm going to kill you, I don't want to get married, I'm going to kill you!" The girl's eyes became more and more terrifying, and the whole person was like a puppet spliced together, and her limbs were very uncoordinated, and she rushed towards Zhong Xu frantically. And as the girl's range of movements was too large, she didn't take a few steps, and the girl's arm was thrown out directly with the doll in her hand and fell under Zhong Xu's feet.
Zhong Xu screamed, looked down, and found that the connection of the girl's arm was sewn with the thread of the clothes, and the puppet in the girl's hand was also forcibly sewn on the hand with stitches.
Raising her head again, the girl was already less than five meters away from Zhong Xu. The eyeballs on his face and the other arm didn't know where they were thrown, and the whole person was like a hollowed-out doll, with a weird smile and vague words, swaying towards Zhong Xu.
"Ahh
Although he is an atheist, in the face of the scene in front of him, Zhong Xu really couldn't convince himself with any other reason, grabbed his clothes, screamed, bumped into the girl in front of him, and rushed to the door.
Twisted the handle of the door a few times, and the tattered and rusty handle was directly broken in Zhong Xu's hand after making countless "creaking" sounds. Zhong Xu scolded secretly, turned around abruptly and saw that the girl who was knocked to the ground by himself was lying on the ground and crawling towards him with great strength at the moment, and at some point, the wedding dress on the bed was already on the girl's body.
This kind of wooden door has only one handle, and it is open inward, if the handle is dropped, it will not be able to be opened unless it is pried with something.
The girl got up much faster than she walked, and within a few seconds, she had already climbed in front of Zhong Xu and grabbed Zhong Xu's legs. Zhong Xu only felt that he was having trouble breathing at the moment, and when he wanted to take a step, he found that he couldn't control his body, so he had to let the girl slowly climb up along his legs.
The girl's hand strength was very huge, and when she grabbed her calf, Zhong Xu always felt that the force was about to break her bones. Enduring the severe pain, Zhong Xu's pupils dilated, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing that the girl was about to grab her belt, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the entire door was kicked directly from the outside, and the dilapidated gate flew directly into the house with the two people behind the door, and fell heavily into the ground a few meters away.
