That night, I had a dream.

In my dream, I saw my grandfather leading me on a field path.

A big grasshopper suddenly jumped out of the small wildflowers on the side of the road, and the very small Wang Yang playfully let go of his grandfather's hand to catch the grasshopper.

I used my breath to take the grasshopper in my hand. Little Wang Yang ran towards me with a grin, he blinked his big bright eyes, and reached out to ask me for grasshoppers.

I handed him the grasshopper and he smiled at me, bright and clean.

Grandpa called him, what a familiar and warm voice. I felt like crying.

Little Wang Yang turned his head and ran towards his grandfather. Then grandpa carried him to his shoulders and walked forward, grandpa's big hand almost wrapped around Xiao Wangyang's waist, and Xiao Wangyang teased the grasshopper on his grandfather's head, not worrying at all that he would fall off.

The sunset gilded their figures with golden edges, and they disappeared from my sight at the end of the field.

I walked to a nearby flower field, where flowers were blooming and bees and butterflies were flying.

A beautiful butterfly flapped its wings and flew around me, I held out my finger and it landed on my finger.

I don't know why I suddenly remembered the butterfly I killed when I was at the top of the Taiyin Temple, and when I looked at the butterfly in my hand again, it was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flowers around me began to wither, and the entire flower field turned into a withered dead gray.

I woke up from my dream in fright. saw himself lying on the hospital bed at this time, while An Xiaowu was fiddling with a silver marble beside the bed, and the marble flew back and forth between his hands, looking a little like Taoism.

An Xiaowu saw me wake up, and the marbles between my hands fell to the ground with a click. He shouted to the door: "Come in, Wang Yang is awake." ”

Immediately Ji Zizheng and Song Gang walked in, and there was a girl behind them, it was Shi Xiaoxue, Shi Xiaoxue looked at me a little timidly, and did not speak.

I didn't speak, but motioned for them to sit down, and I felt a little tired.

Song Gang said: "Wang Yang, do you know how long you have been asleep?" ”

I shook my head.

Song Gang stretched out the five fingers of his left hand, then raised the two fingers of his right hand and said, "Seven whole days!" ”

I frowned, I didn't know why I slept for so long, I mobilized my breath and didn't feel anything unusual. Zhuang Sui Jiba.

"What the hell is wrong with you. The doctor said that you are in a deep sleep and need to be watched at all times, otherwise you may be in danger of cardiac arrest. Ji Zizheng said.

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know anything, I got up from the bed, Song Gang wanted to come and help me, I signaled no, I can get up by myself.

An Xiaowu broke off a banana from the table next to the hospital bed and handed it to me, "Shi Xiaoxue bought it, she has often come to see you these days." ”

I pushed the bananas away and said, "Countryman, I can't afford to eat them." ”

Shi Xiaoxue stood by the door with red eyes, and she said, "Actually, I just want to say I'm sorry." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran out, Song Gang said: "Brother, Cheng Jianping is dead, since she likes you, why should you refuse, after all, her family is so rich." ”

I frowned and glanced at Song Gang, and Song Gang had to say embarrassedly: "Okay, when I didn't say it." ”

After completing the discharge procedures from the hospital, the four of us in the dormitory went to a restaurant for dinner, and An Xiaowu invited a guest, and that meal ate more than 4,000 yuan from him.

In the evening, I went out of the dormitory to call the master, and after the phone was connected, I said, "Master, I used the Taoist technique you taught me to assassinate a person." I remembered the two gangsters I had killed on the train, and I added, "Three people." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, the master sighed and said, "Do you think you are doing the right thing?" ”

I said, "I wondered, but I think I did the right thing." ”

The master said, "When I was young, I killed many more people than you, and if you think it's right, you don't need to ask me." ”

I said, "I know the master, there is one more thing for the apprentice." ”

The master said, "Say it." ”

I said, "I was in a coma for seven days, and I saw my grandfather and me in my dreams, and I saw many flowers and plants, and the butterfly that I killed. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and the master said: "You are enlightening the Tao, you have also experienced it as a teacher, you are gradually forming your own Tao, everyone's Tao is different, you saw your grandfather and yourself when you realized the Tao, indicating that your Tao and your grandfather are inextricably linked, you have to figure it out yourself, but the butterfly as a teacher does not understand, maybe it can be regarded as a reminder to you, and when you encounter something that needs to kill people in the future, think about it as a teacher." In fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time, maybe your grandfather did the right thing back then, no matter how many games he set up, it was just an old man who wanted to save his grandson. If it were me now, I might have done the same. ”

After hanging up the phone, I went back to my dormitory, and Ji Zizheng told me that he had recently heard his father, Ji Zhengguang, say that Cheng Jianping's father had put pressure on the police station through his connections to investigate Cheng Jianping's death thoroughly. Ji Zhengguang saw such a line in Cheng Jianping's autopsy report: cause of death, heart explosion, part of the blood cell rupture, no foreign objects.

Song Gang was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Ji Zizheng said: "It means that Cheng Jianping died of a heart explosion, but his heart exploded on its own, and more importantly, the blood cell chain was broken, and now the level of scientific and technological development of human beings can destroy cells, and biochemical weapons can also destroy cells, but only destroy the part of the heart, and turn the heart into a complete powder, which is not possible with no technology, not even nanotechnology." ”

"You mean to say that he died at the hands of demons?" After all, Song Gang is also a person who is a scholar and a hegemon, so he can naturally understand it.

"No, I mean he died from an unknown force, some kind of realm that modern science hasn't explored yet, and the ghost doesn't have the means." Ji Zi argued.

"Whatever, anyway, I don't care about our business, it's a pity that this dog bastard didn't die in my hands, so much so that I swore in my heart that I would kill him after practicing magic, oh no, it's Taoism!" An Xiaowu was still fiddling with his "Flying Knife Levitation Technique" on the bed.

"I'm smoking a cigarette." Song Gang took out the cigarette from his clothes and put it in his mouth, but he couldn't find a lighter everywhere.

"Come, Dao Master, my fireball technique has been practiced to the Dacheng realm, I'll help you." An Xiaowu jumped off the bed and said seriously.

"Really?" Song Gang has been watching An Xiaowu play all kinds of magic tricks in the past few days, and he is also very curious.

"Of course it's true, when did Dao Ye lie?" An Xiaowu's expression became serious, he snapped his fingers, and after his index finger and thumb were pinched together, a yellow flame really appeared!

I'm also a little surprised, because even now I can't use Dao Fire as much as I want, and this guy can actually make it.

"Hey!" Song Gangle was broken, and he was about to put his mouth on An Xiaowu's hand when he snorted.

"Don't believe him." Ji Zizheng grabbed Song Gang. "He's magic phosphorus, it's poisonous."

Rumble!

As soon as Ji Zizheng's words were finished, the fire in An Xiaowu's hand suddenly burst into a big fire, and Song Gang's hair also caught up, Ji Zizheng and I hurriedly took a pillow and covered Song Gang's head, Song Gang pushed us away and rushed to the sink, with flames on his head.

Fortunately, Song Gang's hair was long and didn't burn the meat, he pulled An Xiaowu with a hideous face and went with him to the school for a haircut, and when he came back, he became a bald monk, the fat man An Xiaowu was dragged all the way by his neck, and when he dragged him to the dormitory, An Xiaowu's face was full of blood, red like a big apple, and he was about to be strangled Song just let go.

Song Gang clasped his hands together and looked at An Xiaowu lying on the floor and said, "Amitabha, it seems that the Taoist priest can't beat the monk!" ”

We laughed, and that night, we talked for a long time, and that night was the first time I mingled with these people.

I don't know why I remembered my best playmate back then, the kid named Huzi, we collected candy wrappers together, went to and from school together, and went to the dead children's ditch to see wild cranes together. We were both silent kids, he didn't like to talk, and I didn't like to talk, but every time we came out to play, we knew what the other person wanted to do, just say, "Go." ”

And today, I have a few new friends my age, one is smart, one is upright, the other is naughty, and we have become brothers.

When they were all asleep, I didn't think much of it and was ready for a good night's sleep.

But at this moment, my mobile phone suddenly rang with a text message prompt, it's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, who will send me a text message? I turned on my phone and saw the message Liu Xiangfei sent me.

"Help me."
