After saying that, Wang Yuchao picked up his things and walked to the door.

When he raised his leg and stepped out, he said to Zhao Yang: "Brother, I don't think they are here to harm you, but to save you." If you still have a little conscience, go back to your sister-in-law. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a new woman or because you're tired of abandoning your wife and children, that's not right. ”

Zhao Yang was silent.

"I know I'm annoying, but brother, I'm also a man, and I know that it's easy for men to find women who have a good feeling, but it's hard to find women who can be wives. You and your sister-in-law have two children, and you can't be as emotionless as you think. Don't always think about yourself, but also think more about your sister-in-law, and imagine how your sister-in-law is living these days. It's not too late to rein in the precipice. ”

Zhao Yang opened his mouth, and he wanted to tell Wang Yuchao that he was attending his wife's funeral, and even if he wanted to turn back, it would be too late.

Wang Yuchao's footsteps echoed in the corridor, and his humming and chirping could be faintly heard. After a while, the singing died down, and the whole hallway returned to calm.

Zhao Yang was lying on the sofa and didn't want to move his body at all. He thought that whoever came, if she really wanted to take herself, then take it. If you die, you don't have to worry about whether you are worthy of Nansheng and whether you are willing to give up Julie. As for the children, follow their grandmother, and the grandfather will not suffer.

The phone rang, it was his familiar ringtone. He closed his eyes and felt under him for a moment before taking out his phone.

The moment I opened my eyes, I seemed to see a figure, but when I looked closely, there was nothing.

There was a slight sound on the other end of the phone, as if the signal was very bad.

"Zhao Yang, is there a problem with your mobile phone signal?" Julie asked, "I just called you a lot and you didn't answer, I thought you were asleep." ”

"Didn't sleep."

"I'm sorry, I can't go back to you tonight." Julie said, "I will go back early tomorrow morning, or before noon at the latest." You also know that my daughter doesn't come back often, she rarely comes back, and she gets sick again, and as a mother, I can't leave her alone. You're also a father, so you must be considerate of me, aren't you? ”

"Go to bed early, I'm fine."

"Are you angry? I really can't go. Julie explained: "I called you early in the morning, but your phone is always busy. Zhao Yang, who are you talking to, have you been talking for so long? ”

"I didn't talk to anyone, I was playing games on the computer all the time." Zhao Yang said and suddenly rang the phone that was hung up before: "Lili, have you ever been back?" ”

"No, if I go back, why should I call you?"

"Did you call me after you left?"

"I did, but I haven't gotten through, didn't I just tell you, I'm dying."

"None of them got through?"

"yes, what's wrong with you?"

"But I received a call from you, you said you came back, you said you forgot to bring the key, and you were desperately banging on the door outside, but I didn't open it for you."

"I've got the key with me." Juli shook the key in his hand: "Listen, it's the key to the rental house, if you don't believe it, I'll take a picture for you later." ”

"I know you have the key."

"Who will pretend to be me in the middle of the night." Julie said, "Are you dreaming?" ”

"Probably." Zhao Yang pinched his temples: "I have a headache, I fell asleep first." ”

"Sleep, sleep." Julie said, "I'll come to you at noon tomorrow at the latest, and I'll bring you something to eat when I go." ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yang deliberately looked through the call record. During the time period when he was chatting with Wang Yuchao, Zhu Lili did make a lot of phone calls, but strangely, he didn't hear any of them. He deliberately flipped through it again, but he couldn't find the phone that he remembered that Julili had hung up. He began to doubt his memory.

He tried to dial the missed call on the screen, and it didn't work.

"Zhao Yang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I accidentally dialed it." Zhao Yang said: "Go to bed early, and call you tomorrow." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yang to finish speaking, Zhu Lili hung up, and when he called again, it was turned off.

Zhao Yang stared at the number for a long time, and finally threw down his phone and went back to his room to sleep.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Zhao Yang seemed to hear a faint cry, both like a child and like Nansheng's, but when he heard it again, he felt that it was a stranger he didn't know. The cry came and went, one after another, as if it wouldn't stop. Several times he wanted to open his eyelids to see, but the eyelids seemed to be glued to his eyeballs, and no matter how hard he tried or struggled, he couldn't open them.

Cold breath came in and out of his nostrils, and he could even hear his own breathing, which became clearer and clearer in his ears. It's a very special feeling, like you're standing in the dark and watching yourself sleep.

At first, he would still feel scared, and he would continue to struggle through self-awareness, but after struggling to no avail, he calmed down and quietly experienced this different, special feeling of sleep.

Perhaps, this is how human beings feel before death, especially calm, as if there is nothing in the world that cannot be accepted.

He allowed himself to sink into the darkness, and it wasn't until a cold lip print touched his lips that he woke up with a startled start, his eyes wide open. It was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anyone's shadow, but the feeling of being kissed was very clear. When he touched his lips with his fingers, he seemed to be able to feel the breath left by that "person".

The lights in the living room were on, but there were no footsteps. He sat up, looked at the bedroom door that had been opened at some point, and walked out barefoot. There was a string of shallow footprints in the living room, the footprints were light red, and there were some water stains around it. He leaned over to look at the footprints, and felt that the footprints looked familiar.

Yes, he remembered, it was Nansheng's footprints.

Nan Sheng's feet are somewhat deformed, which is a typical hallux valgus, and the occurrence of this deformity is mostly related to congenital factors, and Nan Sheng's mother has the same pair of feet. In addition, Nansheng's left foot was slightly distorted due to an injury she had suffered as a child, and only her fingertips could touch the ground, and for this reason, she could only wear loose, larger shoes. As for the high heels that women love to wear, they have nothing to do with her feet.

The shape of the feet is different, and the footprints left are naturally different. He has lived with Nan Sheng for more than ten years, and in the first few years together, he often helped Nan Sheng wash his feet, and he knew every toe of Nan Sheng. He was very sure that the wet footprints left on the floor of the living room were Nan Sheng's.
