Chapter 4: Disillusionment

"Are you sure you want this, sir?" asked the young saleswoman with a polite smile. The man nodded affirmatively, a look of pain in his eyes flashing. Looking at this ring, the man sighed with satisfaction, in order to find this ring, he traveled all over the large and small malls in City B and wasted a day's time, this is Mao Yu who came out of the job fair.

"Did you buy this ring for your wife?" asked the saleswoman in an envious tone.

"It's my girlfriend, I'm going to propose to her today, I wonder if she will agree?" The man's tone was nervous and excited.

"She will definitely agree, she must be the happiest bride in the world," the saleswoman looked at the man with affirmative eyes.

"I have to say that you are lucky, we have only one ring Zhou Xiaofu has ever produced, but it has not been advertised and is not well known. This ring was a joint effort of one of our top designers and carvers, and it was also their last work, and they named this ring "Poison", which is why many people are afraid of it, who wants to call a ring "Poison" like that. The saleswoman shook her head with some pity, because in her eyes she knew that this ring was a great ring in terms of workmanship and pattern engraving, and it was paired with a rare pure diamond that had not been cared for for for so long because of its name.

"Thoughts are like Gu, and love is like poison. I think that's what the designer wanted to say. Falling in love with someone is like being poisoned, sometimes happy, sometimes crying, sometimes crazy, sometimes having beautiful fantasies. Aren't these the symptoms of poisoning? And when the person you love is around, you will be very stable and enjoy your time with him peacefully. Isn't this the antidote? Isn't it just right to put poison next to the antidote? Love goes deep into the bone marrow to solve it. A lot of pictures with Zhu Ruirui flashed in the man's mind.

After listening to Mao Yu's explanation in surprise, she suddenly became a little curious about the man. But more exclamations are "When will I meet such a good man" The sales lady handed the wrapped ring to the man with a polite smile. "Welcome to your next visit"

Mao Yu walked out of the mall, and the autumn wind blew. He tightened his black coat. Took a look at the table 19.00.

"It's seven o'clock, and I'm going back quickly. He beckoned to hail a taxi.

"Little brother, where are you going" The taxi driver is a middle-aged man in his 40s. With an authentic B City accent.

"Master, the old house. Hurry up, thanks. After getting in the car, Mao Yu quickly reported the name of the place

"Well, lad, you should do it and fasten your seatbelts. "He started skillfully in gear, and he started quickly with one foot of gas.

This master is very talkative, and he has been chatting with Mao Yu since he got in the car.

"Little brother, do you live in the old housing area? He saw Mao Yu nodding from the rearview mirror. Then he began to speak in a mysterious and whispered voice, as if someone next to him would eavesdrop.

"I'll tell you, little brother. Recently, there was a perverted murderer in City B. The man looked at him mysteriously and became curious.

"You know, why I know no. Seeing that the man was curious, the master also sold the guanzi.

"My son is a criminal investigation policeman in City B, and the official is not small, and the deceased looks miserable, as if the blood has been sucked out, and finally he has become a dry corpse. It seems that they are all women," the master spoke, and his voice became quieter and quieter, as if he was afraid that the murderer was next to him.

Mao Yu looked at the driver's nervous appearance and suddenly felt a little funny, and then changed the topic.

"Master, how long do we have to arrive?"

"One more time will come"

Mao Yu closed his eyes and thought of confession words in his mind. Accumulate some stamina, after all, after running for a day. The master saw that the man closed his eyes, so he closed his mouth in amusement. Seriously drive up.

.....

The old house area, Mao Yu's house. The woman put the last dish on the thermal insulation cover, stretched her waist, and the charming curves were unobstructed. She looked at the time.

"It's almost time to come back," the woman muttered to herself

"Ding Dong Ding Dong" doorbell thought

Zhu Ruirui was overjoyed in her heart, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, hum, this guy must want to scare me again." ”

When he came to the door, he opened the door without hesitation, and the cold wind made the woman shiver. It was not Mao Yu standing outside the door, but a foreigner. His skin was as white as a baby, delicate without any trace of blood, his angular facial features were extremely handsome, his pale golden pupils looked strange and a little melancholy, his brown and black hair, and his slightly open white shirt, he looked weak at the moment.

The woman looked at this foreigner cautiously, the next second his golden pupils flashed a glimmer of light, the woman felt that her whole person was going to be sucked into this golden pupil, the upper lip touched the lower lip, fluent Chinese from his mouth said "Beautiful Miss, can you let me see the wound on your hand" This voice seemed to have magic power, Zhu Ruirui's eyes were dull, and nodded obediently. Raise your hand and come to him.

He squeezed the woman's hand, and the blood marks could be clearly seen on the wound that had stopped bleeding. His face was attached to the woman's hand, and the initial sniffing seemed to make him unpleasant, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he wanted the whole person to get into the woman's hand, the smell of blood made him more and more greedy, and he stretched out his tongue and licked the woman's wound.

The cold and slippery tongue seemed to stimulate the woman's nerves, and the dull gaze instantly returned to her look, looking at the slimy liquid on her hands, an indescribable nausea. Disgusted eyes stared at the foreign man. He didn't seem to care at all, and stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, reminiscing about the wonderfulness just now.

He took out a crumpled blood-soaked tissue from his pocket and put it on his face, greedily sucking the smell of blood.

"It's delicious, it's delicious... That's what it tastes like.."

The woman looked at the facial features protruding from the tissue and was a little frightened, she slammed the door, and at the moment when the door was about to close, a white hand pulled the door, Zhu Ruirui struggled with all her strength to close the last crack in the door, and the whole person's face was red. But he didn't see the door move. "Crunch, crunch" The security door was opened little by little, and the woman couldn't even keep her balance, he had a lot of strength. Again, Zhu Ruirui was all exposed in front of him again, losing the last layer of protection, just like that, the man's face was approaching step by step with a tissue, the woman was trembling all over, her brown pupils were full of panic and helplessness, she mustered up the courage She shouted "Don't come, I'm going to call the police" and the man didn't seem to hear it, the tissue slowly fell as it moved, and the face under the tissue made the woman cry out in fright.

"Ah!!, don't come!, don't come"

The man's approach made her keep retreating. Stumbled and fell. She kept rubbing back. At this moment, his expression was hideous, his golden pupils were full of bloodshots, and the skin on his face cracked inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he kept grabbing the cracked skin on his face with his hands, leaving blue blood marks one after another. Until Zhu Ruirui retreated to the point where there was no way out, he pounced on the woman, and his fingers easily cut Zhu Ruirui's white neck like a sharp blade. Blood gushed like a spring, dyed red pink pajamas, the man frantically sucked blood like a beast, the cracks on his face were healing rapidly, the scratched blood marks had grown new flesh buds, and his face was full of blood. The massive loss of blood and pain made the woman gradually give up resistance, her consciousness began to blur, and she kept calling a name...

.....

The "rubbing" blue flame burned in the dark, and the lit "Middle North Sea" cigarette flare. Mao Yu's face was a little blue from the cold, he kept walking around and hesitated, and suddenly stopped. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. Rushed upstairs, inserted the key into the door, took a deep breath, and showed a smile to make himself look calmer, "squeak" The old security door was pushed open, and the smell of blood from the pavement made Mao Yu wrinkle a little,

The next scene makes the man's eyes crack, and the woman lies quietly in a pool of blood, the blood staining her pink pajamas and looking particularly dazzling in the light. Mao Yu rushed over, knelt on the ground and picked up the woman. The woman's face was pale and bloodless, and there was no sunset flying. kept shouting Mao Yu's name in his mouth, the wound on his neck was touched, and blood gushed out again. The man's hands trembled a little, and his face was full of panic. He pressed the wound hard, hoping to stop the bleeding. All this in vain. The man smiled hard and whispered to the woman, "I'm here, baby." I'm in.." The voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Husband.. You're back—" The woman felt a warm, familiar embrace, and she struggled to open her eyes, her mind a little confused.

"Husband.. Why are you crying? Don't cry anymore.. I promise to be a good baby in the future.." Mao Yu quickly wiped away his tears and tried to smile.

"Husband.. I'm so sleepy... It's so cold again.. Can you hold me tight.... I'll play with you when I wake up, okay..."He hugged the woman tightly, and every word the woman said was like a sledgehammer hitting the man's heart.

"Baby, don't sleep, don't sleep... Look at me, look at me don't fall asleep, look at what I bought you. He hurriedly took out his ring. Place the ring on the ring finger of the woman's right hand.

"Zhu Ruirui, are you willing to marry me and be the woman of my life" The man's voice was full of trembling. He looked affectionately into the woman's eyes.

The woman's eyes were struggling to open, her face was full of happiness to look at the ring, her bloodstained hands trembled and tried to touch the man's face, and he hurriedly grabbed her hand and put it on his face.

"I would..."The little hand that had lost its strength to support slipped from the man's palm.

"Don't!don't!!don't!!!!" The man looked at the fainted woman, like a helpless child. He screamed loudly.

"Zhu Ruirui, please. Please, wake up, don't leave me alone," the man screamed, hugging the woman tightly. He could not accept this fact.

The man couldn't cry and hugged the woman who was gradually losing her temperature.

The crisp applause of "pop pop" is particularly harsh in this environment

"It's so touching, it's really touching. This big drama of life and death," a man's voice sounded.
