Chapter Twenty-Eight: Do You Really Want to Know the Truth?
"Why don't you come in?" Liang Rui had already walked to the middle of the courtyard, and found that Zhang Xiaofo had not followed, and when he looked back, he found that he was still in place, outside the courtyard.
"I don't know what you're bringing me here for? So why should I go in? Zhang Xiaofo just had a feeling of reluctance to go in.
Liang Rui didn't get angry when he heard Zhang Xiaofo's refusal, but his eyes widened, and he looked at him with hope: "Are you reluctant to come in because you feel something?" Isn't it? ”
Zhang Xiaofo frowned, digested it for a long time, and finally attributed Liang Rui's emotions to really not being angry: "No, it's just dark inside, I don't want to go in." ”
"Come on in." Liang Rui didn't want to be idle, so he took a few steps to the door, grabbed Zhang Xiaofo's hand, and dragged him into the door: "Let's see what's wrong?" ”
"What? Do you want to buy a house? Since he was dragged into the courtyard, Zhang Xiaofo was at ease with the encounter, and he didn't feel any discomfort, so he naturally spoke a lot easier.
"Is there really no problem? You take a good look at it. Liang Rui couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't give up.
Zhang Xiaofo didn't know whether he should help or not, and hesitated for a while.
"Actually, this is where I lived with my grandparents when I was a child. At that time, my dad was still in the army. As for my mother, she stayed here to serve the second elder. But my mom doesn't like me and always says I stink, but my grandparents still like me, so although my dad is not there, life is good. No one forced me to study, my whole life was to go wild with my friends in the village......" Liang Rui's voice was very sad, stroking the door of the house, infinitely nostalgic.
"......" Zhang Xiaofo did not interrupt Liang Rui's memories.
"Until that happened...... Liang Rui gradually became painful.
From afar, Zhang Xiaofo could hear Liang Rui's heavy breathing, and then thought about it and felt that he should express his attitude at this time: "Then what?" ”
"Then ......" Liang Rui paused and walked to the well: "Every time I come home from school, I always take my good friends in the village home to pick grapes and eat." My grapes were the most famous in the village at that time. In the summer, they like to sit under my grape trellis and eat grapes in the shade at night. My grandparents and my mom were very welcoming...... Later, the village lost its children...... The little friends can't get together anymore...... But the child is still losing ...... And then after a long time, their heads were found in the well......" said Liang Rui, stroking the edge of the well. At his current height, he had to bend down to touch the edge of the well. It always looks very weird.
There is a momentary blockage of the air......
Zhang Xiaofo looked at Liang Rui and frowned, and said, "You lied to me." ”
"Well, I lied to you." I didn't expect Liang Rui to admit it very refreshingly.
Zhang Xiaofo was thinking about whether he would scold Liang Rui at this time, or whether it would be appropriate to punch him.
"But those kids really died in this yard, you know where?" Liang Rui stared at Zhang Xiaofo urgently, eager to be recognized: "Every time I come, I have auditory hallucinations. The cries of the little friends. But it is not known where they are. When I was a kid, I always told my dad, but he brought me a psychiatrist and thought I was crazy. I thought I was crazy, so I tried to get treatment. Only my mother said that I killed those children...... To this day you also call me stinky, so I thought you should understand me. Do you hear the children's voices here? Did I kill those children? Zhang Xiaofo looked at Liang Rui nervously, looking crazy.
Liang Rui looked at him hopefully.
"Nope."
In the end, Zhang Xiaofo still resolutely denied it.
"Hmph, you're lying." Liang Rui's anger came very suddenly.
"......" Zhang Xiaofo didn't speak.
"You're going too far." Liang Rui's heart was full of disappointment. He has been seeing a psychiatrist for so many years, and it has been ten years. Why transfer from the provincial capital to Yangcheng Medical College? It was because the people around him knew about his visit to a psychiatrist, and everyone looked at him with colored glasses, thinking that he was mentally ill and had to transfer to another school. Thinking that his father looked at him like garbage, Liang Rui had a faint resistance in his heart. originally thought that Zhang Xiaofo and he were fellow travelers, which could prove that he was normal, but he didn't expect to be ruthlessly vetoed by Zhang Xiaofo. Disappointment made Liang Rui rush out of the courtyard......
Zhang Xiaofo heard the sound of the car engine outside the door getting farther and farther away, and reluctantly realized that he had been left behind.
I didn't pay attention to the two of them just now, but now only Zhang Xiaofo is left, and the courtyard looks very gloomy. Coupled with the flickering incandescent lamp, the shadow on his ground is not qualitative.
In fact, Liang Rui blamed Zhang Xiaofo by mistake, he really didn't hear the children's voices.
Slowly walking to the well, there is a hole in the bluestone slab that covers the well that can accommodate an adult with a shrunken palm to stick into. The inside of the cave was swarthy, and there was not a glimmer of light. Zhang Xiaofo tried to look into the cave, but his vision was too dark, so he had to slowly get closer......
The entrance to the cave is swarthy, which is easy to frighten, but it also attracts people to explore.
Zhang Xiaofo slowly approached the entrance of the cave and bent down. One hand propped up on the bluestone slab, the other eye to the hole, looking into the well......
The well was as dark as I had imagined.
Gradually, Zhang Xiaofo's upper body was almost attached to the bluestone slab, but he still couldn't see everything in the well. The deep well under the bluestone slab seemed to suck in all the light around him, and with Zhang Xiaofo's 5.2 eyesight, he was defeated three inches in front of him, and he couldn't advance a point.
There was no light in the well, but there was wind. The well water is groundwater, so the wind blowing up also carries the cold air underground, Zhang Xiaofo's eyes were forced to blink a few times, but he still insisted on looking inside, always feeling that he could see something.
Suddenly, there was a sharp stinging pain in his eyes, Zhang Xiaofo suddenly bounced up, took a few steps back, and covered his eyes. Tears gushed out uncontrollably, and the foreign body sensation almost drove him crazy. In order not to get hurt in the panic, Zhang Xiaofo chose to squat, and then waited for the pain to get used to it before blinking slowly...... Visibly feeling the foreign object being pushed into the corner of his eye, he clasped it with his fingers...... The foreign object was finally detained.
Holding back his sour eyes, he forcibly opened his eyes to see what was in his hand. It turned out to be just one
Very small bugs.
Seeing that there was no other discovery, Zhang Xiaofo also gave up the mood to explore what was in the well. Although he is not afraid of corpses, he is still uneasy about the darkness.
After his eyes got used to it, he straightened up and stood in the yard in a daze.
The cool breeze was blowing, and Zhang Xiaofo, who was wearing an inappropriate coat, also felt cold in his collar, but obviously Liang Rui had already driven away, so he had to think about how to get through tonight.
I looked at the main room on the steps, although it was a long time, it was still possible to block the wind.
However, it is Zhang Xiaofo's habit not to mess into the house, and there may be something in an old house like the small courtyard in front of him, so he still chooses to hide under the dense grape trellis for one night.
There was no place to sit, so Zhang Xiaofo sat on those upside-down clay pots.
Liang Rui is really sick, and he will definitely not be so close to sick people in the future...... Zhang Xiaofo thought in a daze......
A gust of wind blew, and some of the grape leaves were turned over - there were a few scars on the blue-yellow leaves, which were particularly dark in color, and looked a bit like human faces......
Zhang Xiaofo slept well, he was woken up by the cold in the morning, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was being stared at up close by a pair of eyes: "Ah......"
