As the minutes passed, Xia Beifeng sat on the white bench outside the emergency operating room, reciting a Buddhist scripture silently with his eyes closed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was in 1996.

Winter.

It was a blizzard, almost the same as the day he remembered.

The same cold, the same inexplicable.

In fact, he doesn't really believe in any gods in this world who save the suffering. It's just that at this moment, he is seriously praying for the immortals who don't know where they exist...... Any god can do it, as long as it can help.

Now that I'm back here, give me a chance to save them.

Half an hour ago. When the ambulance drove in front of him, he was able to calmly make up the story of an older brother from his hometown who came to see his sister and his soon-to-be-born nephew, but his sister accidentally fell down the stairs and fell into such a life-threatening situation.

This statement is actually very suspicious, but the situation at that time was very urgent, and no one doubted him, whether it was a doctor or a nurse, they all believed his story full of loopholes at the first time, and they didn't even think to look at his ID card.

Because he and Xia Bailu have almost identical faces. The parties themselves may not feel anything, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is not an exaggeration to say that these two people are twins.

"I can't imagine that I would have been able to swipe my face card 20 years ago."

Xia Beifeng, who was sitting in the ambulance, laughed at himself quietly and touched the money in his pocket.

At this point in time, the pink Grandpa Mao naturally can't be used, and he didn't bring any money when he went out, only his mobile phone and bank card.

In 2016, these two things can basically replace the renminbi, but not at this time.

Thankfully, the young Xia Beifeng was an out-and-out bear child before his younger brother was born.

At that time, he had a lot of energy, vigorous curiosity, and a little bit of cleverness.

So it's not surprising to find a place where my father hid his private money.

When I was thirty years old, I tried to recall, and I could follow the clues of the year to find a dozen dollars in "my own home".

But......

Xia Beifeng, who was sitting in the hospital, once again pinched the thick stack of money, although he knew that he shouldn't think about other things at this time, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Old man, you have too much money in your private house.

Hiding so much money, are you going to do something bad behind my mother's back, I'll take it out for you now, and it can be regarded as stopping you from making mistakes in advance, you should thank me.

The red light in the operating room was still dazzling, and Xia Beifeng, who was watching, was becoming more and more bottomless, so he could only think of something else to divert his attention.

"Mr. Xia?"

A young nurse approached Xia Beifeng's side and asked him in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

"Huh?"

Xia Beifeng came back to his senses and shook his head at her: "I'm fine, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, no, I just think you're ......"

The little nurse hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said cautiously: "You don't have to worry, your sister fell down the stairs, it should only be a external injury." It's going to be fine, don't be in too much of a hurry. ”

"Well, I'm okay......"

Xia Beifeng smiled kindly at her, and inadvertently glanced at the glass on the door of the operating room.

The man in the reflection had thin red blood in his eyes and a hideous expression on his face, looking like a ****** personality who could carry a knife to kill at any time.

No wonder it can scare other little girls.

Xia Beifeng stared at himself in the mirror, laughed self-deprecatingly, and adjusted the expression on his face.

"I'm fine, I was a little confused just now. If you don't call me, I probably won't be able to react, thank you! ”

He took a deep breath and smiled as kindly as he could at the nurse in front of him: "Where is the bathroom, I want to wash my face and calm down." ”

"Oh, no thanks."

The nurse subconsciously replied, and after being stunned for a while, she pointed to the end of the corridor and said to him, "Follow here, and then turn right to see." It's quite dark over there, and there's always water on the ground, so be careful, sir. ”

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Xia Beifeng nodded and got up from the bench where he had been sitting for more than an hour.

"By the way, where is there a public phone near your hospital, I was a little confused just now, and I forgot to call to inform my family."

"It's right at the door, and you can see a phone booth across the road when you go out."

When he stood up, he found that his legs were already a little numb, and because of the excessive force, his brain was also dizzy.

He quickly held on to the wall ~ beside him and stabilized his figure.

The nurse next to him raised her hand and hugged him, and asked him nervously, "Sir, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, my legs are a little numb after sitting for too long."

Xia Beifeng waved his hand at her and slowly straightened his waist.

There were purple and red stars in front of me, and the end of the black corridor was only vaguely visible.

The "buzzing" sound in my ears continued for a while before it gradually faded away.

"Alright."

He pulled his arm out of the nurse's hand and thanked her again, "Thank you." I'm fine, so if you have something to do, go ahead first. ”

"Are you really okay?"

The nurse nervously watched him take two steps forward slowly, and still asked uneasily, "Do you need me to get you a glass of glucose water?" ”

"No, I'm hungry and I'll buy something to eat. Don't worry, I'm still looking at ......."

He pointed to the operating room behind him and smiled gently: "My sister~ husband is not here, I have to guard them, and when they come out, the first family member they see is me, how good!" ”

"yes, that's nice."

The beautiful nurse also laughed with him: "Then your sister~ husband must be jealous to death." ”

"That's right, haha!"

Xia Beifeng smiled as he waved at the nurse and walked towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

I'm sorry, old man, I took advantage of you...... But who told you not to go home in the middle of the night.

He stood in front of the toilet sink, looked at the reflection in the mirror, and patted his face with cold water.

Calm down...... Leave the matter of saving people to a professional doctor, and think about what you can do now.

The toilet in the hospital was already very dim, and the mirror didn't look used very often, and there were all kinds of stains on it, making his already not very good-looking face more and more hideous and terrifying.

"Look at yourself, your face is simply uglier than a ghost."

He smiled wryly and stretched out his hand stained with water and touched it in the mirror in front of him.

A man with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes was clearly reflected in the mirror, giving him a mocking smile.

You're a piece of waste, you don't need to have a white head.

The man in the mirror silently moved his lips and said.

He took a deep breath, lowered his head again, buried his face in the pool, and turned on the faucet.

The icy tap water washed over his head, and finally his restless and chaotic mind gradually cooled down.

If I'm not mistaken, the day of the accident - that is, now, the old man is on a business trip. When I left, I said that I would come back the day before yesterday, but then I encountered something, and in the end I didn't even catch up with Xiaotian's birth, and I only came back on the third day to bring the two children home.

What's going on?

It was as if an avalanche had blocked the way back.

He should be stuck on a bus in the mountains right now, and even if he could get a call, he wouldn't be able to help.

Big ~ Master went out two months ago, and didn't say where to go. Spring can come back.

What you go out to do seems to be confidential? The phone can't get through, so forget it.

Brother-in-law......

Fifteen-year-old bear children can't be counted on.

If memory serves, he was fooled by me all day, ran away from home for ten years when he was a teenager, and almost became a wanted criminal when he came back, if it weren't for his family connections......

When did you run away from home? It seems to be this time, is it still there?

Xia Beifeng thought of this and got stuck for a while, he tried hard to recall what happened to Shen Yungui for a while, and finally determined the fact that Shen Yungui had run away from home at this time and didn't know which ravine he had gone to rob the tomb with others.

Then there was only one person left - Ye Baiyu.

Ye Baiyu can naturally help. Or in the current situation, his mother's life hangs by a thread, and there is a female ghost of unknown origin who doesn't know where to hide, and only he can help.

But I don't know him now! Where to find him?

Xia Beifeng wiped the water off his face and sighed again.

Ye Baiyu, although theoretically speaking, is the elder of their family, but no one seems to know which generation he is.

This guy has even changed his name over the years, and I don't know how many names he has over the years, and only Shen Qingge seems to know what the name of the first one with the surname "Shen" is.

In my memory, only the big ~ master has his contact information, and he is still not working. Even if he later accepted two apprentices, he was still a hands-off shopkeeper. I remembered that I ran out and shook around, and in a blink of an eye, I didn't know which ravine I got into and disappeared.

In 2016, when communications were so developed, it would be a hassle to find him, let alone 1996.

Besides, even if you find one, how should you introduce yourself?

Hello, I am the junior of your family, my name is Xia Beifeng. Something happened, I'm now in time from twenty years later, and I'm chasing a female ghost who killed my mother, and I want to ask you for a favor......

For my sake, you are my master.

Oh, I'll be a teacher from you in three years.

I'll be tied up and poured with talisman water to ward off evil spirits.

As for the other one who seems to be more reliable than Ye Baiyu when he is serious...... Oh, he's still in the operating room, and I don't know when he'll give birth!

It's just too much trouble.

As he walked to the park phone booth at the door, he had a headache and thought about the relationship between the characters, and remembered something that he should have paid attention to a long time ago.

When the female ghost appeared before, she disappeared with her - where did that ten-year-old me go?

Strangely, there is no memory of this period in my head.

Not at all......

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I think about it, it was a terrible thing.

Human memory often goes awry, and trivial things are often quickly forgotten. But what if it's something that happens only once in your life and is very important?

For example, the death of a mother, for example, the birth of a younger brother.

When I was ten years old, my memory only stayed on the back of the strange man in the living room - now I know that this back is Lao Tzu himself.

For the whole day after that, the memories that should have been impressive disappeared out of thin air, and all I could recall was the scene of waiting for my father at the entrance of the hospital a day later.

Why stand at the door of the hospital and not in the hospital?

It seems like something happened in the hospital......

What really happened on this day?

He stood in the phone booth, broadcasting Shen Yunxi's phone number, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache.

There was still a strong wind mixed with blizzard around him, and the cool air almost froze people.

The phone was unexpectedly unreachable.

He thought for a while, and then dialed Ye Baiyu's number.

It's just an empty number.

It seems that I was really the only one left, fighting alone in 1996.

Xia Beifeng sadly put down the microphone and raised his head to look at the hospital across the road.

The hospital was intact at this time, even brand new, and you could smell fresh paint when you stood in the corridors of the hospital.

The brightly lit hospital stood alone in the blizzard, and the bright lights fell on the snow, reflecting the black shadow that was staring at him across the road.

It's the female ghost from before.

Xia Beifeng looked at her, only to feel that her heart seemed to be skipping a beat.

Without thinking, he rushed across the road, clutching the stick in his pocket.

The female ghost across the road was pale, blood dripping down her wrist to the ground, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyes were filled with endless resentment and hatred.

The road wasn't wide, and at his speed he could run to the opposite side in less than ten seconds.

But in the space of a few seconds, an ambulance burst out of the back of the hospital's outpatient building and whistled past him.

The flashing red lights were still in sight, and the ambulances that had rushed out had run away.

The female ghost across the road was naturally gone.

"!"

Xia Beifeng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and kicked the snow around him hard.

The female ghost had slipped out from under his nose for the third time, and after realizing it, his mood became more and more aggrieved.

He stood irritablely, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, sat down at the hospital door and smoked.

As the minutes passed, the wind and snow still showed no signs of stopping, and the red light in the emergency room of the hospital was always on.

The female ghost was nowhere to be found, and there was not even a trace of the aura of existence left, so he couldn't find it if he wanted to.

Everything seemed to be at a dead end, and he still couldn't think of anything he could do now except wait in place.

In the dark toilet, a young nurse in a white dress straightens her hair in the mirror and puts on a gentle smile.

Two overlapping faces were reflected in the mirror—a young nurse with a round face, and a beautiful woman with a pointed chin.

The black skirt and the white nurse's uniform are stacked on top of each other to create a fuzzy gray.

***********************************************

Shen Luotian drove slowly on the road.

On such a snowy day, the road is already difficult to walk, and the visibility is low. How exactly he managed to drive so fast without getting into an accident when he came here is a mystery now that I think about it.

The child in the passenger seat held his coat and curled up in a ball, a little sleepy under the blowing of the air conditioner, his head was little by little, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit.

The music library in the windmill of Xiabei will always be an unsolved mystery. If it is played randomly, it is not known whether the next song will be a square dance or Tchaikovsky.

For example, now, the stereo is playing the most dazzling national style.

"It seems that your taste will be like this for the rest of your life."

Shen Luotian tilted his head and glanced at the little boy swaying beside him, and sighed: "It was a trouble when I was a child, and it is even more troublesome when I grow up...... Where the hell did you go, so you can leave me some clues! ”
