Chapter 40: Madness
In Zhang Ailing's classic quotations, there is a prose called "Love", there is a passage that says:
Meet the person you want to meet among thousands of people, in the endless wilderness of time for thousands of years, there is no one step earlier, no one step later, just just catch up, then there is nothing else to say, but to ask softly: "Oh, are you here too?" β
This passage is also Meng Duo and Chen Fan's favorite words, the two of them once said in a playful tone, if one day, they break up and are not together, in case they meet again, there is nothing else to say, then say these words, "Oh, are you here too?" β
And now they, three years, is not too long, not too short, I feel, just in the blink of an eye, looking back, but things are different.
When Lu Shiyi received a call from the security guard of the community to say that Meng Duo had an accident and asked him to go quickly, when he arrived, he saw her holding a dirty man crying.
For a while, he didn't react, and was stunned for a while before walking over, "What's wrong with you?" β
Hearing Lu Shiyi's voice, Meng Duo raised his face aggrievedly, the tears on his face and his red and swollen eyes made people feel very distressed.
"I remembered, I remembered everything...... Meng Duo cried a handful of snot and tears, "He, his name is Chen Fan, and he is my boyfriend...... My name is Meng Duo, born in 1997, from Kui County,...... My name is Meng Duo, born in 1997, from Kui County......"
She repeated these two sentences, Lu Shiyi observed for a while, as if he sensed something, he bent down to help her up, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped her mouth, Meng Duo immediately lost consciousness.
"Daughter-in-law ......"
The man who was called Chen Fan by Meng Duo grabbed Lu Shiyi's trouser legs, he glanced down and kicked him directly in the chest: "Get away." β
"I ...... It's my daughter-in-law......" He didn't give up and pulled his leg again, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he simply limped away, looking back from time to time.
Lu Shiyi had a cold face and hugged the sleeping Meng Duo back.
Because of the relationship between hugging the homeless man, her body was a little dirty, and there was a smell, Lu Shiyi didn't think about it, he took off her clothes and threw them down from the upstairs window.
Wrung a wet towel and wiped her hands and face clean. also changed into pajamas for her, and there was no fluctuation throughout the whole process.
Remember on the side of the road, she cried and said to herself, she remembered everything, remembered something, the truth of her death or her parents are no longer alive?
However, the crazy man who was a homeless man just now was really her boyfriend? However, didn't her boyfriend also pass away when she checked before?
Just thinking about it, the person on the bed didn't know when he had opened his eyes, and she looked at him intently.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Shiyi spoke first, and didn't forget to laugh jokingly: "Why, is it because I'm too handsome!" β
In the next second, Meng Duo suddenly jumped out of bed with a frightened face, curled up in the corner, and his whole body was trembling, "You let me go, I want to go home......"
"I beg you, let me go."
Lu Shiyi frowned, the expression on his face was a little solemn, Meng Duo was still crying, and his eyes were full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible. Looking at her appearance, she should have encountered what happened before she died, could it be that she was raped and killed to death, and then thrown her body into the wilderness?
Thinking about this, he was a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to step forward to help him up, and tried to wake her up, "Meng Duo, take a good look at me, I'm Lu Shiyi!" β
"Don't touch my ......"
"I don't know you, it's too late, I'm going home......" Meng Duo struggled, like crazy trying to escape, Lu Shiyi simply stretched out his long arms around her waist and threw her on the bed, "Meng Duo, take a good look at me!" β
"I don't know you, I'm going home......"
Before he could say anything, there was a sudden knock at the door. He was a little irritable, looking at Meng Duo who was crazy on the bed, and there was a rush knock outside the door, as if if he didn't go out again, the door panel would be removed.
So he untied his belt and tied Mendo up. Then he turned around to open the door, and the moment the door opened, the man named Chen Fan rushed in and knocked Lu Shiyi down directly, and before he could react, he picked up the vase next to the TV and smashed it on his head.
Lu Shiyi fell to the ground, his head hurt and he was dizzy, and in a daze, he watched the man run into the bedroom, and kept shouting:
"Daughter-in-law ......"
"My daughter-in-law ......"

Meng Duo seemed to have had a long, long dream, she dreamed that on her birthday, she got up to go to the bathroom, and when she came out, a man wearing a baseball cap stopped in front of her and she was unconscious.
When I woke up, I found myself locked in a windowless room, but it looked like a hospital place, because the room was full of disinfectant and my arms were full of needles. In that room, she desperately cried for help, but to no avail.
I don't know how long it took, but she was conscious but couldn't open her eyes, and a voice in her ear told her, "Your name is Meng Duo, born in 97, from Kui County, ......"
She didn't know who that person was, but with this sentence, she felt that she had walked a long way before she opened her eyes, and met Lu Shiyi in the cemetery......
"Daughter-in-law ......"
Hearing these three words, she turned her head sharply and found Chen Fan sitting on the ground next to the bed.
"Chen Fan!"
"Why did you become like this?" Meng Duo touched his face, which was originally clean and white, but it was full of scars, new wounds and old wounds. Heartbreak and old wounds, can't help crying, "Why did you become like this......"
"Daughter-in-law, you are my daughter-in-law......" Chen Fan smirked at her.
Meng Duo hugged him and felt very distressed.
She and Chen Fan are like coming from high school, he is a year older than her, he is his senior, the two of them were admitted to the same university together, and they originally agreed to get married after graduating from college, but he had such an accident, and he didn't know why he became a homeless man, and he was crazy......
"Is he really your fiancΓ©?"
Lu Shiyi woke up in her crying, with a big bag bulging from the back of his head, he covered his head, looked at the man on the ground, and wanted to throw him downstairs, damn, he dared to hit him!
"What's wrong with you??"
"He hit it." Lu Shiyi raised his foot as he said and couldn't help kicking Chen Fan, he screamed and hid on the other side of the bed, looking at him in fear.
"What are you hitting him for?" Meng Duo was anxious and wanted to get angry.
