I had a dream: In the wilderness, N and I were walking hand in hand, step by step fast and step by step slow.The surrounding fields are vast and silent; we seem to be familiar with this place, but at the same time it seems strange.The muddy ground was full of marks of animal hooves and bird claws, but there were also human footprints. We carefully identified the human footprints and moved forward.There was a voice in the distance, ups and downs, but it was not singing, it seemed to be people who were working hard...Suddenly, two people flashed in front of me, one was K and the other was Ping, and they shouted at me: "Hurry up, your hunters are coming!" I looked back anxiously, the cold fog was misty, and I couldn't see if there were any pursuers; I looked for K and Ping again, but they were nowhere to be seen, and I asked anxiously: "N, where are they going?" Where did you go?" There was no answer.I saw that the one holding hands with me was not N but Xiao Zhao, and I was pleasantly surprised: "So you didn't..." Without finishing talking, Xiao Zhao suddenly opened the front of his clothes--I yelled, it turned out that Inside the placket is not a flesh body but a skull, but there is a red and big heart, beating hotly in the dark ribs...

But at this moment, I woke up: I could still hear the beating of the "heart" in my ears: Benedict! Benedict! The window paper has turned white, but I don't know when. The sound of tuk-tuk sounded again, and at this time we identified the direction it came from: someone was knocking on the door. "Who is this? It's so early in the morning to disturb you." As I thought, I got up, put on my clothes, and as soon as I pulled the latch, the person outside rushed in. It turned out to be F. The first sentence at the beginning is: "Didn't you sleep last night?"

"It's rare to see someone like you," I answered while buttoning my clothes, "this morning—" "It's past ten o'clock, and it's still early in the morning!" He glanced into the room and went to sit at the desk. "I'm sorry last night, you were shocked! It's really bad." I smiled, and sat on the bed to put on my socks, but I guessed in my heart what was going on with F, and at the same time I replied casually: "Well, are you here to express condolences? I--it doesn't matter." I felt that my heart was beating fast Dacheng said, so he deliberately peeled off the worn socks, found another pair under the mattress and put them on slowly, and said: "However, your dear friend, you are so sorry for her, you should go to comfort her ..."

"Hey! What are you talking about—Your friend," F's voice sounded as if he was stuck in a jar, "this, it's just, it's really bad!" I looked up and saw several bruises on F's face. I thought it was from the punching last night. I held back my laughter and asked again, "What's wrong? Isn't it over after the punching?" "It can be finished anywhere! The matter has become a big mess!" F smiled wryly in a strange way. My heart skipped a beat, and at the same time I was full of doubts, and I couldn't help but speculate about F's intentions here in a very bad way.Did the enemy stop N on the way?Otherwise, they suspected me and came to look for clues. ... I was thinking about it, but on the other hand I smiled deliberately: "What's the big deal! Isn't it common to fight a girl just because of a girl?"

"Hey, don't you know?" F said seriously, but changed his tone again: "Oh, maybe—naturally—you don't know." I became even more suspicious, so I said, "What the hell is going on! Could it be that—that old bastard who killed him with those two shots last night?" "No! This guy hasn't lost a single hair..." "Oh, it's cheap for him!" I said deliberately, and at the same time, I went a step further and counterattacked him. "But, F, why is your marksmanship so bad? If it were me, hmph, I would at least want that old bastard to lie down for a week."

"What, what?" F was so anxious that he couldn't speak easily. "I fired it? I interrupted him and said, "Who else is it if it's not you?" I pursed my lips and smiled again. "Ah! But it's really not me! There are people present to prove it." He seemed relieved. "Hey, Comrade Zhao, this is not a joke. It's a serious matter, you can't joke about it." "So, who is it?" I asked deliberately again, but I looked down on F very much in my heart, and thought that his purpose here was to stabilize me and clear his suspicion.

"It's really N!" He replied solemnly. I stared intently at F, thinking: "He has something to say! Let's see what else he has to say." But after waiting for a while, there was no more to say, so I continued on purpose: "I'm afraid not!" "Yes!" F said firmly. "There is physical evidence. I didn't bring a gun last night, but the pistol that fired twice belonged to the old man—didn't the old man pull it out first and throw it on the table..." "Oh,—is that so!" I smiled deliberately. "Hey, sorry, I didn't hurt anyone else, but I will be punished. But, F, you have to help her."

F kept silent, but frowned, always looking at me one by one. What kind of trick is he playing?I'm getting more and more uneasy.I made some calculations, then stood up and said, "Is she in school? I want to go and see. You men are all selfish." "If you were still in school, things would be easier!" F said with a sigh. "Oh! Are you in confinement then?" I was secretly worried, and concluded that N must have been caught, and F was here to spy on me. F rubbed his hands, opened his mouth and eyes, seemed to have something to say but was undecided on how to say it.I deliberately pretended not to see her, so I went to find the overcoat, and said to myself, "I have to visit her..."

"Hey—" F said half-deadly, "You can't find her..." I deliberately turned around in surprise and asked, "What?" "What are you doing?" F called out like an echo, and Xuan smiled wryly again: "This person has disappeared." I now conclude that something has happened to N. "Missing" is a pun.My heart was very confused, and I secretly hated, - oh, every time I try to help others, the result is always not only unsuccessful, but also hurt myself!Now that this is the end of the matter, my first priority is to put out the fire that is burning close to me.However, I have no idea what happened, and it is not easy to ask directly.Feeling anxious, I got into trouble, so I smirked and shook my head and said, "I don't believe it. ——If others can't find N, then you must know where N is. I only ask you for someone!"

This made F anxious, he said without eloquence: "Ah, ah, why are you insisting that it's me—why should I hide her? It's really gone!" "Well—" I secretly smiled in my heart, fixed my eyes on him, and waited for him to continue. "I was in a coma last night, so I didn't have time to find her," F thought for a while, as if he was considering how to say it. "I found out early this morning that she didn't go back to school last night. I asked a few of her acquaintances, but nothing. But—at nine o'clock, a comrade from the police brought a piece of clothing—it was her clothes with her badge on the button!"

"This is weird!" I put on a surprised expression. "Could it be..." "The clothes were seized at XX, which is the way to the riverside." We looked at each other, and F's eyes were a little hazy.After a while, I pretended to murmur and said, "Maybe it's suicide? No, why commit suicide?" "It's hard to say!" F shook his head, frowning. "I know the character of the man,—stubborn, obstinate! Last night in the restaurant she behaved a little erratically. Drunk and messing about, it's all right, but she shot— Two bangs, luckily no one was hurt. " I fixed my eyes on F, and kept silent for a while; thinking about the future. "Some people guessed that she ran like crazy in the field for most of the night last night," F went on, "and then came to the riverside, and that's when she had the idea of ​​suicide." I just nodded slightly, noncommittal.Seeing that F had nothing to say, I suddenly asked back: "I guess you have already reported it? If the higher-ups want to investigate what happened last night, I am willing to testify." F glanced at me, and replied listlessly: "I haven't reported it yet." "Why didn't you report it?" I said in surprise. "Be sure to report as soon as possible!" "There are still problems in the middle, so we have to think about it," F hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "Students, these days are like bundles of dry firewood. These dry sticks are on top; if this incident becomes a big deal, won’t they take advantage of it? Then our prestige is over.” "Oh——" I responded casually, but thought in my heart: nonsense!Who will trust you?It's not that you haven't split up among yourself, and the wording of how to report has not been discussed yet, so you have to suppress it.I have long expected that they will sacrifice N if they want to shirk their responsibilities. Now that I have tricked them into a panic, I smiled and emphasized: "But according to my opinion, we still need to report quickly. .You went to secretly report, and the higher-ups also secretly investigated, how could the students know?" F said hastily: "No, no; you don't know the complicated situation here. Often a small matter becomes a tool to attack and exclude each other, not to mention that this matter concerns a human life!" I let out a "huh" in disbelief, but smiled with my lips pursed. F looked at me hesitantly, then at the sky, finally stood up, and begged me in a low voice: "Comrade Zhao, Comrade Zhao, please do help me, don't say anything!" "However, if the superiors ask me about it," I smiled, and I deliberately made things difficult for him, "can I not answer? Can you guarantee that no one will be courteous?" "Never, never," F He insisted. "At least in these three or two days." I smiled and said half-truthfully: "Well, we are good friends, there is no one who doesn't help himself. But don't cross the river, just let me go." Forgot." After F left, I quickly freshened up. When N is in the city, I have to arrange it for her. But that dream always makes me uneasy...
