Chapter 22: Amnesia

When Xiaozhou saw me forcing him, he knew that he couldn't hide it. So he trembled and spoke again, perhaps because he was too alarmed, and he said it upside down, and from time to time he went back and added, but after I listened to it, I probably knew what was going on.

According to Xiaozhou, his ancestral home is here, but when he was 14 years old, he followed his parents to other places. Doing business in Guangdong, Fujian. The explanation he gave was that with a boat in his name, he could only prosper where there was water, and the coastal provinces were his blessed land.

In fact, it is. In the past few years, their family's business has been doing very well, and life is very good. After Xiaozhou made a fortune, he wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look, but for some reason, his parents never agreed, saying that once the boat reached the inland, it would inevitably be difficult to move an inch and become a rotten wood.

Xiaozhou's return to his hometown was delayed like this. Until the year before last, his parents died one after another. There was no one to restrain him anymore, so he moved his mind and drove thousands of miles a few days ago until he returned to his hometown.

Unexpectedly, on the night he returned to his hometown, he met Chen Xiaomei. At that time, he was rushing from the center of the city to the village, and because he had not returned for many years, he could not recognize the way. So I got out of the car, intending to ask someone for directions. Coincidentally, Chen Xiaomei was dragging a bag of garbage home.

Xiaozhou stopped Chen Xiaomei and just wanted to ask for directions. Chen Xiaomei suddenly went crazy, and she desperately grabbed the boat, kicking and biting, and scolding angrily in her mouth.

Xiaozhou was suddenly startled, thinking that he had met a madman, and after a lot of effort, he finally threw Chen Xiaomei away and got into the car.

After Xiaozhou got into the car, Chen Xiaomei suddenly disappeared. He waited for his mind to settle down, and then he started driving, who knew that when he stepped on the accelerator, the car would clatter. It's clearly rolling things.

Xiaozhou got out of the car to check, and when he saw it, he was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't speak. Chen Xiaomei was lying on the ground, and her legs had been crushed.

Originally, a broken leg would not have died. But after all, Chen Xiaomei is old and lacks qi and blood, and after suffering this serious injury, it hurts and bleeds. Before Xiaozhou could broadcast the emergency call, she died.

Xiaozhou panicked, stood on the road and hesitated for a while, thinking that this old woman was a wandering three-in-one person, why should she find herself a prison sentence? Let's slip away. So he got into the car and fled.

He spent the night wandering around the neighborhood before he found his way home. It was late at night, and no one knew he was back. So he hid the car and hid in his old house, hoping that after the incident had passed, he would show up and leave here.

After three or four days, he thought that the matter had settled, so he began to wander around the village, but there were not many people who knew him. At most, everyone looked at him familiarly. After all, when he left, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy.

After he walked around, he found out that Chen Xiaomei turned out to be his fellow villagers. I felt guilty and scared. So he kept kowtowing in the direction of Chen Xiaomei's house at home, hoping that the dead man would forgive him.

When we knocked on the door that night, he didn't intend to open it, but when he heard the knock, he was so urgent that he seemed to break in. So I had to open the courtyard gate. Pretend to be casual and invite us in. As a result, when we went in, it was a mess of gods and demons, and he struck him in the heart, and he drove us out.

After Xiaozhou said this, I basically believed him. Because for a person to lie, he must have many facial features, such as his hands touching his head all over his head, or his eyes looking at the ceiling to think. But Xiaozhou was different, he kept staring into my eyes, which were full of fear and pleading.

His history is not fluent, so it can be seen that it was not made up in advance. And he added a lot upside down, and there was no contradiction in these things. It can be seen that it should not be fake.

So I looked at Chen Xiaomei, who had been there, and said with some hesitation: Old lady, if this is the truth, I'm afraid it's no wonder Xiaozhou.

I said politely, but in my heart I was thinking: Old woman, you can be regarded as a loyal member of the porcelain party. Even if he dies, he will not let go of the bitter master, and he will make a false accusation.

Chen Xiaomei said with a voice: What happened that night, probably not wrong. But he didn't tell you why I scolded him or beat him.

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked Xiaozhou: Yes, why did Chen Xiaomei scold you and beat you?

Xiaozhou said with a sad face: How do I know?

When Chen Xiaomei heard this, she suddenly became angry, and her white hair stood up on the top of her head, and it seemed that her head had grown two or three points longer.

And the candle on our table was immediately extinguished.

Xiaozhou sighed, screamed softly, and didn't dare to speak anymore.

I felt a cold thing in front of me. It's like a big sorbet.

After a few minutes, my eyes adjusted to the darkness. I noticed a dark figure sitting on the table. Right between me and the boat.

I wanted to run, but I couldn't move my legs. I don't know if I was numb from fear, or if I was used by Chen Xiaomei.

I grasped the broadsword in my right hand, and finally had a bit of a backbone.

Xiao Zhou sat on the bed, and after a long time, asked in a low voice: Master Zhao, is there a person sitting at the table.

The black shadow said: It's not a human being, it's a ghost. Listening to this voice, it is naturally Chen Xiaomei.

Xiaozhou's body began to tremble again.

Chen Xiaomei asked in a cold voice: Xiaozhou, you really don't know, why did I beat you?

Xiaozhou's voice was trembling: I really don't know. At that time, I didn't even know which village you were from.

Chen Xiaomei obviously didn't believe it, and she asked again: Then do you know why your parents took you to other places?

Xiaozhou said: Because I am a wooden life, I am also called Xiaozhou. So go to the coastal provinces

Chen Xiaomei snorted: Fart. You fled to avoid disaster.

Xiaozhou was stunned for a while, and then his voice was a little dazed: Avoid trouble, why avoid disaster?

Chen Xiaomei didn't ask again, but was silent for a while. After a long time, she said slowly: It seems that you really don't remember anything. Hey, one is stupid, the other is so scared that he doesn't know anything. Is this providential?

I couldn't see Xiaozhou's look in the dark, but I listened to his voice, and I was scared and curious: I don't remember anything? Do you know why my family is moving to another country?

Chen Xiaomei snorted: Do you remember what happened before the age of fourteen?

Xiaozhou said: Remember, remember clearly. I haven't forgotten what happened after the age of fourteen.

Chen Xiaomei asked again: Then do you remember, what is the name of the child who plays with you every day?

I heard the boat squirming, and then his voice was hesitant: When I was a child, did anyone play with me? I just remember that no one paid attention to me and that I was always going to and from school on my own.

Chen Xiaomei hehe: You forgot it cleanly. The best friend with you was my son. Ah Fei, do you remember? His name is Liu Zhengfei.

Xiaozhou's tone was full of doubt: Liu Zhengfei? It's a familiar name. Then, his mouth began to chant incessantly: Liu Zhengfei? Hoodlum?

Through the street lights outside, I saw that Chen Xiaomei seemed to be gone. So I fumbled around around the table for a while, and lit the half of the candle.

When there was light in the house, I couldn't help but be startled when I looked at the boat again.

He was nearly half-bald on the top of his head. His hands were full of hair. Apparently, he pulled the hair off himself.

Xiao Zhou raised his head with a pale face, and I saw that his face was red, sweating profusely, and he looked like he was about to go crazy.

I hurriedly persuaded: Xiaozhou, forget it if you can't think of it, don't think crazy.

Xiao Zhou opened his mouth, and his voice was extremely hoarse: Master Zhao, I remembered.

I straightened up and asked with concern: Remember?

Xiaozhou nodded slowly: Chen Xiaomei is not wrong, she should beat me and scold me, I'm afraid it's not wrong to kill me.

I asked him: Why do you say that?

Xiao Zhou didn't answer me, but asked: How is Ah Fei?

I said: If Chen Xiaomei only had one son, you should have seen it. It's the fool who threw paper money at your house that day.

Xiao Zhou's voice was very weak, as if the qi in his body had been drained, he leaned against the wall and said slowly: It turns out that he is stupid. It turned out that he was stupid. That's right, when I fled, he wasn't quite in his sanity.

I asked Xiaozhou: What the hell is going on? He turned into a fool and has something to do with you?

Xiao Zhou smiled bitterly and said: Master Zhao, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I am simply the biggest coward in the world, forgetting righteousness when he sees profit, greedy for life and afraid of death, and betrays his friends for glory.

I waved my hand: Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, don't be contemptuous, sue me, what is going on?

Xiaozhou said: That's right. Ah Fei should have been killed by me. The specific process, I can sue you. Hey, even if his mother killed me, I don't complain now.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Xiaozhou said to himself: In the second year of junior high school, this city was not as big as it is now. It is surrounded by the same suburbs as our village. It was still very backward at that time. Because it is a junior high school, children from several villages are gathered in each class to go to school. If there is something interesting in the surrounding villages, the students will pass it on to each other, and then we hear a message. Said to be in Wangzhuang, ten miles away. Someone dug up the treasure.
