Chapter 1: Yin and Yang

Next Chapter

There are some things that must be remembered.

For example, the son has been missing for five years and thirty-eight days, and the wife has been dead for one month and eight days.

Some things are negligible.

For example, whether you have eaten today, slept for a few hours, and whether you have taken anti-inflammatory drugs on time.

There are two things in this world, one is to find a son, and the other is to do the other.

For the past five years, Liang Zhe has traveled all over the country with that blue backpack, which is full of his son's belongings, his son's favorite toys, his son's photos and clothes. Every three months, he buys a new set of clothes for his son, who is the age of his body, and he doesn't want to find his son with clothes that don't fit.

Liang Zhe stood in front of the dresser, quickly rummaging through the items on it.

He remembered that after his wife died, he broke the phone from her stiff palm and put it on the dresser, but he couldn't find it. His face was reflected in the mirror, with rough skin, a stubbled beard, messy hair, and bloodshot streaks on his eyeballs. He gritted his teeth, the pain in his teeth came quickly, and with a dull pain in his stomach, he turned to the bedside table, pulled out two painkillers with trembling fingers and swallowed them.

There was a shrill creaking sound from upstairs.

He glanced up, then remembered something, and bent down to pull open the bottom drawer of the bedside table, where his wife's phone was lying inside. He charged his phone, pressed the phone, and the screensaver was the same as his, a family of three at the beach, the difference was that his phone cracked a crack, which happened to separate him from his wife and children.

He found a video of his son's seventh birthday on his wife's phone, his two best friends were all in the family, his sister and brother-in-law, and the giggles were still in his ears when he received a lot of gifts, and that was his son's last birthday before he disappeared, and that day he smeared a lot of cakes on his son's face.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound on his wife's mobile phone.

It turned out to be an "airdrop" request, he didn't even think about it, and immediately refused.

AirDrop came every few minutes, and he found that the model name of the other party's phone was the same as his wife's, and he accepted the request with curiosity, and the other party sent a text document.

There are five big words in the text: I am your wife.

He thought it was a prank, but these words still made him fall into a trance for a moment.

He was surprised when he sent the text again, which only he and his wife knew, but thought that someone must be making fun of him, and just as he was about to turn off the AirDrop function, the other party asked him to say something casually.

He whispered out the window: "Fuck off!

The other party immediately sent the text, two words: Get out!

Then another text: I can hear you, I can see you, I am by your side, I am Meng Xiaoyao.

Seeing this name, Liang Zhe's heart ached, like being caught off guard by a knife into his heart. He and his wife have been in love for 17 years, and the suicide of his wife has caused him as much pain as the disappearance of his son, and although they have quarreled for the past five years, they have never mentioned divorce, and their love for each other has always been there.

The other party sent a new text: I miss you, husband, and son.

Sadness came to his heart uncontrollably, and tears wet Liang Zhe's eyes, this is not what he wanted to say to his wife. He wiped away his tears, got up and looked around, to make sure that there were no hiers in the house, he closed the window, closed the curtains, whispered a word to the closet, and made a gesture of crossing his hands, and then asked the other party, the other party's answer turned out to be completely correct, he couldn't help but feel excited, but still asked a very private question: where was the first time we kissed?

The other party replied: In 2006, on Fenglin Road of the school, around 8 o'clock in the evening.

Liang Zhe's typing hand was trembling: Are you really Meng Xiaoyao?

After posting this, Liang Yan couldn't help but say to himself: "I should be crazy." ”

The other party told him: I am really Meng Xiaoyao, no, you are not crazy.

Liang Zhe stopped sending texts and spoke directly into the air: "How is this possible, aren't you dead?" ”

Dialogue answers: I'm dead, but I've always been here, I can see and hear, but I can't influence.

Liang Zhe was incredulous: "Why can you use AirDrop?" ”

The other party replied: I don't know, the mobile phone is in my hand, like a part of my body, but there is no network here, there is no mobile phone signal, just now, I found that I was in the AirDrop contact, so I tried.

Liang Zhe squeezed his arm hard, the pain came immediately, the effect of the painkiller had not yet been played, he knew that this was not a dream, but he still had a hard time believing it: "You take a video and I'll take a look, and then say a few words." ”

After a while, the other party sent a video, the object in the picture was distorted, but it was vaguely recognizable that it was his home, which was where he was at the moment, and the sound in the video was chaotic, accompanied by sizzling sounds, and it was impossible to hear what was said.

Liang Zhe's tears couldn't help but slide down, and he looked around in amazement, and didn't say anything for a long time.

The other party sent a text: Husband, I found a clue about my son's disappearance.

Liang Zhe's heart was pounding, I don't know if it was because of the existence of his wife or because of his son's clues.

The other party then sent a text: A month ago, I followed you to my funeral, and at the funeral, I heard Feng Yuan and Pang Yi whisper a few words, and they said that they should not worry about Yangyang anymore.

Liang Zhe's voice instantly increased: "Are you saying that Yangyang's disappearance has something to do with them?!" ”

The other party replied: I'm not sure, but Deng Zhongquan and Feng Yuan will move in two days, you have to act quickly.

Liang Zhe's teeth don't hurt anymore, his stomach doesn't hurt anymore, no matter whether the other party is his wife or not, he can't let go of any clues about his son, he clenched his fists, straightened his waist, and the strength in his body returned, he looked up at the ceiling, gritted his teeth, and whispered to himself: "I knew they had something to hide." ”

He walked out of the bedroom quickly, and the beer bottle in the corner was kicked over by him, and half of the beer bottle flowed out, and he ignored it, his eyes widened, and the bloodshot on his eyeballs spread.

The wife sent a text: Don't be impulsive, I'll go with you, bring my mobile phone.

Liang Zhe took his wife's mobile phone, opened the door and asked, "Are you also going out?" ”

The wife replied: Yes, I am afraid of getting lost and being trapped, so I rarely go out.

Liang Zhe looked at the dark outside and lowered his voice: "Then you follow me." ”
