Chapter 2 Old Shandong
Taiwan
Scare!
I sat up abruptly, looked around, and was fine, in my room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then I fell down again, in a cold sweat.
Since I can remember, I have been repeating the same dream over and over again for many years, and the man's shriveled body and withered eye sockets have occupied his mind for many years and lingered. And the man in the dream seems to be myself, as if my soul is standing in the perspective of a third person, looking at my own body.
I began to wash up in a daze, brushing my teeth and staring at my left eyebrow in the mirror. The dream was too real, an illusory thing that was not repeated, and slowly it seemed to become true.
Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong - Ding Dong
The rapid doorbell suddenly exploded, and I almost swallowed the mouthwash, and the spicy taste choked in my throat, choking on my tears.
The doorbell rang like a debt, so I had to wipe my mouth casually, rush out of the toilet like a woman grabbing an anniversary, and accidentally stumble and hit my own door.
Endured the pain and looked at the cat's eyes, it was Ah Shui.
Ah Shui, Xu Dayu, my neighbor and friend. Since I went to elementary school, after reading Dayu's exploits in controlling the water, I don't know how to develop the nickname of Ah Shui, in short, no one called the name of Dayu slowly. Fortunately, Ah Shui's nickname is still related to his real name to a certain extent, otherwise he would have been nicknamed for so long, and he would definitely not remember what Ah Shui's real name was.
"You're reincarnated on a bicycle? So slow." As soon as Ah Shui saw me open the door, his head was sour.
I rubbed the swollen bag on my temples and said angrily, "If there's a fart, let it go."
Ah Shui took out a time-limited registered letter from his pocket, which was sent by Dafeng.
Dafeng is Ah Shui's younger sister, a round younger than us, and a little girl is smart and pretty, and a ghost. This sixteen-year-old chick who has just entered her first year of high school is already doing big things. That's right, Dafeng Qiao's family. It is normal for a little girl who is in love for the first time to have a favorite object, but the elders of the Xu family are not allowed to fall in love in Dafeng High School, and when she knows that her eldest lady has a boyfriend, the whole Xu family is turned upside down, especially Ah Shui, who is even more angry than his parents, giving me a feeling that Dafeng is actually Ah Shui's daughter.
After a few days of trouble, Dafeng promised to break up with her boyfriend and study hard to prepare for the university entrance examination, and the Xu family's emotions eased slightly, and things slowly calmed down. Unexpectedly, one day after school, Dafeng didn't go home, and he didn't go to school the next day, the whole Xu family and the school teacher looked for Dafeng to find crazy, and finally Xu's mother cried and went to the police station to report the case. The police also said that they could only adjust some alley monitors first to see if they could find some clues, so they asked Ah Shui and them to go home and wait for news.
Ah Shui stuffed the letter into my hand, and it only said that everything was safe, and nothing else was written. Look at Ah Shui again, his eyes are full of fire, and as soon as he saw that the postmark was sent from Hualien yesterday, he immediately came to my house and asked me to accompany him to Hualien to find someone. I just left my design firm last week, and I'm currently at home, so I said yes.
After all, Dafeng is also my eldest sister to me, and I was quite nervous when I learned that she was missing.
Sitting in the iron-gray Hummer of Ah Shui, the whole atmosphere was extremely frozen, and I firmly felt that this trip to Hualien was not an outing, it was like going to war. In the city, the car couldn't drive fast, Ah Shui's fingers kept tapping on the steering wheel, and the cigarettes were pumping one after another. finally got on the highway, and Ah Shui kept overtaking all the way.
I admit that I am a bad seed, not only do I dare not ride the roller coaster, but I also dare not drive the fast car. Even if I am driving on an unmanned industrial road, the locomotive is at most 70 is my limit, and I really can't help it in fast. When the hands went up and above 12 mph, I couldn't fucking look at the dashboard again.
Ah Shui gave me a blank look, "Chen Yunran, are you taking a handle?"
If I'd normally choke back for a while, you didn't bring a handle, I'm calling safety first.
But Ah Shui called me by my real name, and I secretly felt bad in my heart. A person who usually has a smile on his face, chokes on his friends when he has nothing to do, and is not a serious person, I am still a little afraid when I suddenly call me by my real name.
I understood that Ah Shui was really hot this time, so I suppressed the discomfort in my heart, picked up the cigarette butt that Ah Shui had put aside, and smoked a cigarette.
I'm an only son, and although my attitude towards Dafeng is the same as that towards my sister, it's not as good as a blood-tied relationship after all. I can't understand the love between brothers and sisters, is that feeling more helpless? Or is it more emotional?
looked at the cigarette in his hand, well, the black seven stars were really smooth.
About two hours later, the car drove into the city of Hualien, and I wanted to go directly to the local police station to ask if we could help us access the monitors around the post office or post box.
Unexpectedly, when he was looking for a parking lot, Ah Shui suddenly stared at the rearview mirror and shouted, "It's him."
"Who? Dafeng?"
"No, it's someone on my sister's computer, and her latest photos are with the man."
"Clams? You secretly checked your sister's computer, and she didn't get the secret?"
"What if you have a password, pediatrics." Ah Shui's face was not shaved.
I can't believe it, I'm also a friend for many years, how did I never know that Ah Shui, who is usually a dick and a big man, would actually crack the password? Could it be that this is the so-called real person who does not show his face, and who shows his face is not a real person? If that's the case, then Ah Shui is too seamless to hide. Or does Ah Shui really don't know how to use computers, but this time the sister is anxious, so shallow energy is stimulated?
Ah Shui stared at the rearview mirror next to the driver, and continued excitedly, "Huh, huh! He got on a gondola. Keep up."
"Who? The man? Where is it?" I asked blankly, not yet crawling out of the stimulus that Ah Shui might be a computer whiz. Besides, Hualien is a tourist attraction, and there are all tour buses parked on the side of the road, who knows which one.
Ah Shui hurriedly turned the car around, "Are you sick? Everyone is on the bus, how can I tell you which one. I'll show you when he gets out of the car."
I nodded in response. Everyone is in the car, of course, they can only follow, is it difficult to jump out of the car?
Then we followed all the way from the city to the swallow mouth of Taroko.
"I said Ah Shui, are you mistaken? Is it reliable in the rearview mirror?"
Look at the tour buses driving by, this parking lot is not only occupied by tour cars, but also flooded with a large number of tourists, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where a pair of little lovers will elope. Ah Shui didn't bird me, after squeezing the Hummer into a small parking grid, he urged me to get out of the car, and was caught by the bags on the left and right, and the doors on both sides could not be opened at all, but I still turned into the rear compartment and went out through the door of the rear compartment. After stumbling off the car, I found that there were really many people in Yanzikou, and I was able to park in the parking space, I don't know if it was luck or the speed of Ah Shui grabbing the parking space was hot enough.
I watched Ah Shui stretch his neck and keep looking around, and I also learned from him to look around, trying to get out of the dark crowd
Find out the figure of Dafeng.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Ah Shui pointed at me and said, "Hey, Shandong, look, the man is there, the tall, all-black one."
Looking in the direction of Ah Shui's finger, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and said, "He is wearing dark green, not black." Regarding color, I have a large vat of occupational diseases, and if I am not sensitive enough to color, then I don't need to mix design. Besides, the person Ah Shui refers to is actually quite easy to recognize, and the young people who come to see Ah Po and Ah Kilo are easy to recognize, and the man is quite tall. I don't have 1.8 meters by sight, but 1.9 meters, which is really high.
Ah Shui held his breath and went straight to the direction of the man, I hurriedly followed, and walked a few steps, and in the next picture Ah Shui was stunned when he saw it, and a young woman walked down from the tour bus. The woman handed the backpack to the man, and then neatly combed a ponytail, but the woman was not Dafeng.
"Your sister's. Shandong, have you seen it? After he kidnapped Dafeng, he came here with other women for sightseeing?" At this time, the small volcano in Ah Shui's heart has been extended into a large volcano, and if the anger can be actually energized, I estimate that Ah Shui is enough to boil several cylinders now.
"Are you sure it's really him? We haven't even seen him in front of us yet?" I asked the question that I had been stuffy for a long time.
Ah Shui was asked by me, but he didn't answer immediately, obviously a little shaken. Man is a mysterious image-perceiving animal, and the longer you look at it, the more uncertain it becomes, and often you can bite it with just one glance.
"I don't care, let's talk first." Ashui Dao.
In short, we followed all the way, walked for a while, and gradually got away from the crowd of tourists.
Watching Ah Shui walking in front of him kicking and punching, I really feel helpless and funny, for an uncertain person to toss here for so long, and I don't believe in the tracking method of our three-legged cat, those two people will not feel it? I don't seem to mind if someone follows me.
Ah Shui slowed down and sat side by side with me, "Shandong, what do you think the girl is thinking?"
"I don't know."
The reason why it is called Shandong is because of the relationship between my father, my father is an out-and-out Shandong person, and the neighbors on the street call him Lao Shandong, so I naturally became a small Shandong, and my father likes to eat fried dough sticks with rice milk the most.
When it comes to my dad, it's kind of strange to say. In the early years of the Republic of China, when he was still a young man, he came to Taiwan from the mainland with the army.
When my father was young, he always thought that he could go back to Shandong, how did he know that this was nearly half a century, and later saw that there was no hope of returning to his hometown, so he married my mother and gave birth to me, and then settled down in Taiwan. Later, it was more open, and my father and I transferred from Hong Kong and went back to our hometown in Shandong a few times. In the helplessness of the big time, an ignorant boy who was forced to leave his mother at the age of fourteen was already white-headed when he saw his elderly mother for the next time. They both thought that the other might not be alive anymore, but they didn't expect to see each other again in this life. I remember that my father was kneeling in front of my grandmother and crying like a child.
Dad is the eldest son, although I am the nominal eldest grandson. But my father was almost sixty years old before me, and the children of other uncles were twenty or thirty years older than me when they caught any of them. My special status made me quite favored in my hometown, and I was so lawless that a few aunts would bribe me with cakes. It's just that my father was not in good health and couldn't afford the long-distance travel tire, so he gradually didn't go back.
Later, my father used to say, "No matter what happens, it is important to save your life, as long as you live, you will still have a chance to meet." If my dad is still alive, he will celebrate his eighty-eighth birthday this year.
I was still immersed in my memories when Ah Shui suddenly grabbed my arm, shook me violently, and exclaimed, "Shandong! Damn, they're gone."
", how is that possible?" I was completely scared to wake up, there is no one before and no one after me, where can people change?
I looked around, strange, it was really gone, could it be that in the time of a little distraction, people grew wings and flew, I looked at the sky above me like an idiot, and suddenly felt that I was extremely stupid.
I looked around again, and saw what appeared to be an iron ladder leading to the bottom of the cliff at the left bend in front of me. I casually greeted Ah Shui, who was running in front, and ran to the top of the iron ladder, and heard the sound of climbing, climbing, climbing, and going downstairs, and I thought that I couldn't be wrong, so I followed down.
Only the top step of the ladder is connected to the asphalt road, about one person wide. The peeled rust flowers are green and green, almost blending in with the ferns that grow on the side. Ordinary people may just shake it off, but because of my work, I have retouched too many pictures, and a little change in the picture is not difficult for me to notice.
I thought no wonder the man and woman were not afraid of being followed, they were sure that Ah Shui and I couldn't find it.
The ladder doesn't seem to be long enough to see the path below, but it clings to the curved cliff wall, which obscures the view from below. This iron ladder is really too old, not to mention the serious rust, and some of the steps are simply broken.
I was still watching my feet, but I found that I couldn't hear the sound of my predecessors going downstairs, and I was in a hurry, and I stepped on the air and fell down. This ladder was a hundred times more fragile than I had originally thought, and with the acceleration of gravity, several sections of pedals could not withstand my fall, and they broke from the weld. I fell down at lightning speed.
I was half lying on the mud floor, and when I heard footsteps in front of me, I stopped beside me, but I really didn't want to get up, half because it hurt too much, and the other half felt that it would be a loss of face to follow me like this, so I just lay on my stomach and pretended to be dead.
But no one spoke for a long time, only the sound of steady breathing, and the scene was indescribably embarrassing.
It feels really uncomfortable to be overlooked from above, especially when you have your back to someone you don't know. It's like trying to cheat on an exam, but the invigilator seems to be behind you, and you can't turn back if you want to.
I lay on my stomach for a while, and when I saw that they had no intention of leaving, I slowly got up. I feel stupid in my heart, forget it! If you want to interrogate, just interrogate, Lao Tzu is a big deal to pretend to be stupid.
Fortunately, I have been practicing ballet for more than ten years, and this body is still quite resistant to falling, and it didn't fall apart when I rolled down the stairs.
Yes, it's ballet. It's not very trendy Popping or Breaking.
Boys dancing ballet sounds stupid to the ears of ordinary people, but I personally think it's good to be able to soak in the girls' pile in a fair way. Although my mom didn't send me to dance class with that intention.
I raised my head anxiously, and the man who Ah Shui said had abducted Dafeng was squatting in front of me, looking at me, smiling happily.
"Hey! Shandong." He hurriedly greeted me and pulled me up from the dirt.
On closer inspection, I found that he was really tall, looking twenty-six or seventeen, presumably about the same age as me, with good eyebrows and a handsome appearance. But what I wondered was that since I left the dance class with an injury, I switched to art and majored in portrait painting. No matter how I became a monk halfway, I am still somewhat sure of the recognition of human faces.
However, I really had no impression of the man in front of me who was smiling at me.
He saw my doubts and took the initiative to say, "My name is Ziche, and I heard your friend call you Shandong all the time."
True or false? Downwind ears?
Ziche smiled, "I have good ears! Also, I don't know any Dafeng, you have to believe me."
My face instantly flushed, I felt like I was standing in front of people with my pants stripped off, and I cursed Ah Shui too loudly in my heart.
I gave the girl who had been silent behind the car an apologetic look and realized that he wasn't a woman.
This is completely a preconceived mistake, he has very delicate facial features, is relatively lean, has a fair complexion, has long hair and a ponytail, but is definitely not short, at least more than 1.7 meters. Standing next to the subcar, the two looked like a couple from a distance.
I really want to slap myself a few times at the moment, it's too big a mistake.
But what I care more about is the expression of the ponytail man. As soon as he saw me, his eyebrows wrinkled, his whole face was tangled with, I didn't know what to do, I had never encountered this before, I didn't know how to deal with it, I could only smirk at him awkwardly. He didn't turn his face away, but kept staring at me up and down with a stinky face, and I was so uncomfortable that I wanted to make an excuse to slip away.
At this time, there was the sound of someone coming downstairs from the ladder behind me, and I thought to myself, what a bastard Ah Shui, I found out that there was a staircase so slowly, and I was alone here for a long time.
I was about to turn around and scold, but when I turned around, I saw that the person who came down was a woman...... Target?
Although the face is very bright, but the short hair pushed on the head, the black hat T dark blue narrow-tube jeans, and the dress is very neutral, with the experience of the past, I dare not judge randomly. I kept peeking at her boobs and ass while she was going downstairs, okay! She's supposed to be a girl. If these two points are inaccurate, I will carefully consider changing careers.
The girl looked at me, walked around to the ponytail man, and said, "Don't stink a face! It's like falling down the toilet."
That's right! That's right!
Oh, listen to the voice, she's a girl.
The ponytail stared at me, silent.
Ziche also turned to the ponytail man and said, "Don't resist! I think it's only a matter of time before he can come down or not."
The girl folded her hands around her chest and nodded. The ponytail man was still staring at me, silent.
Suddenly I felt very bad, the atmosphere suddenly became very solemn because of the silence of the ponytail man, as if my appearance was very unlucky, I didn't know the person in front of me, speaking I understood but didn't understand,
I had a deep suspicion that I had stumbled into a secret drug deal, that they were saying that they were going to kill me, that I might be killed later, or something.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. I turned around, and without saying a word, grabbed the ladder three steps and made two steps to rush up.
When I found that no one was chasing, the faster I rushed. Climbing the ladder, I was stupid.
After two or three steps, the wall is full of cliff rock walls, under the cliff is a barren beach, the modern cement road is gone, and even Ah Shui is gone. Frightened, I shook my hands and hurriedly pulled my phone out of my pocket.
Damn, it's out of the circle, and I can't get through to Ah Shui.
I kept trying to turn on and off, turn on and off, turn on and off, and soon after, I threw in the towel, a phone with no internet and no way to talk, fucking with and without.
I didn't know what was going on, the whole Taroko seemed to be hollowed out of thin air, and I looked at the watch on my wrist, which was given to me by my mother on my seventeenth birthday, and the second hand was still running. But what's wrong with my world? The legendary abandoned by the world? Thinking that he was dreaming, he quickly closed his eyes and opened them, and the scenery in front of him did not change in the slightest.
I slapped myself and looked at the small rust wound on my palm, which seemed to be real.
Looking into the distance, I squatted down weakly, my eyes turned red, and I sniffled.
Suddenly, a head poked up from the top of the stairs, it was the girl, and I looked at her.
When she saw me, she was silent for a while, then tugged at the corner of my pants and said gently, "Let's come down first, let's talk about something below, okay?" Don't be here alone."
Alas...... Forget it. If you are dreaming, you will not know that you are dreaming until the moment you wake up, and if you are really dreaming, then you have to bite the bullet until you wake up. I pulled out the Scottolida from my backpack and took a sip.
Hmph, sure enough, there is wine that can dispel eternal sorrows, "Let's go." He followed him downstairs.
"Hey! Shandong, welcome back." The sub-car waved excitedly at me at the staircase below.
I looked at the car and the girl, but I didn't see the ponytail man, so I couldn't help but look at it.
Ziche pointed to a hole not far away with his chin, "If you are looking for Feng Xin, he will go to the front to explore the way first, I will stay and wait for you, he will wait for us in the appropriate place."
It turns out that the ponytail man's name is Feng Xin, and he feels that he is super incompatible with his name.
Seeing the girl make an OK gesture, I was still very puzzled and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"I said that this brother has come to this road, what else is he pretending to be innocent?"
This was a joke that made me a little annoyed, "I really don't know, I fell down for some reason."
She looked at me seriously and turned her head to give Ziche a look. "He fell." Ziche nodded like pounded garlic.
"Oh my God! I thought...... But how is that possible?"
"What do you think?"
"I thought you were new to joining, and then there was a disagreement between you and Feng Xin, so you ran up and sulked."
Oh my God, I almost fainted after listening to this incisive analysis, it turns out that I am so childish in the eyes of women.
"You really don't know?" She asked again.
I shook my head helplessly, "No, yes, yes. To say it or not? Don't talk about pulling it down."
Ziche looked at me and whispered in my ear, "We're going to dig an ancient tomb."
"What?" I tilted my head and felt a little unrealistic.
Taiwan is so big, what kind of ancient tombs can there be? Everything that can be dug has long been dug up. "What? What tomb?"
The short-haired girl raised her eyebrows and said to me with joy, "Nuwa's tomb."
