Chapter 5 Chapter Four: The Air Raid Shelter is the Pony's Lifetime Nightmare

The mother pony never came to see him again, and perhaps she should have believed that the pony would not go back to die for her when she died.Because the pony is not her hope, the pony is a disgrace to her and her family.The pony couldn't understand her sadness, and she couldn't understand the pony's inner sadness.The pony used to be such a happy and healthy child, but he became a useless person in the process of growing up. He wanted to be a brave man, own a career, own a woman, have a family, have friends, and have everything a normal man in this society has. Everything he has, but he can't do it, he tried hard, but it's useless.The pony often dreams of some people waving their fists in front of him and saying, you are a cowardly person!

The pony admits that he is a cowardly person, he can give up everything, he just wants to live in peace, like a lost dog, he has his own joy of living.For example, he is sitting on the steps of the Sunshine Cinema, waiting for Donna to appear. His love is very simple. He doesn’t need to express it, and he doesn’t need to let her appear. He just needs to see her, and that kind of sweetness permeates his life. inside. It's a pity that Donna died a year ago, and the pony felt that Donna would appear again in the dark, that she would appear in the sun, walking fragrantly all the way, like a flower passing through the streets of the city, but he was in the dark night. She dreamed of her broken face and that mysterious red children's shoe.Pony thought that he was really a lost dog. When he got into the security booth, he saw a police car parked not far from the entrance of Violet Shampoo, the lights of which were very dazzling.

The pony closed the door of the security booth, lying on the broken mat, it seemed to smell a kind of apple fragrance, did Donna appear in the night outside?He felt a hand caress his face, and he curled up in the darkness.Any night is long and frightening for the pony, and the restless factors in the night will endanger his life at any time. After Song Zhengwen watched Taozi get into a taxi, he looked at his watch. It was a little past eleven o'clock in the evening.He thought he could still take the subway home, which stopped running until half past eleven.There were few people on the subway, and he was the only one who got off at the subway station of East Mortal Road.When he walked out of Exit 2 of the East Mortal Road Subway Station, a wave of heat rushed towards him. There was a scent in the hot wind. He couldn't tell what this scent was, but it seemed familiar.There are sparse pedestrians on the street now, are they rushing home or are they going to wander in the night all the time?

When he came out of the subway, he saw the pony picking up trash walking towards the security booth. He didn't know where he was going and where he should stay at night.The pony is a poor man, Song Zhengwen thought.But the pony is a hateful person. What did the pony do in the night after night when no one was around?Aren't all ponies doing dirty things?Or, the pony had also killed in the dark, or was preparing to kill?Song Zhengwen felt that his heart was being squeezed strongly. When he was walking towards the Qingyun Community, he saw a police car parked in front of Violet Shampoo on the opposite street.Song Zhengwen thought, maybe the police are cracking down on pornography again.He didn't care so much, and walked into the Qingyun community on his own.

When he passed the gate, a security guard from Qingyun District greeted him, Mr. Song, you just came back? Song Zhengwen nodded politely at him. The security guard said again, congratulations on your precious son! Song Zhengwen frowned, but he still kept a smile on his face, thank you, thank you. After speaking, he hurried into the community. The security guard smiled and said to himself, a good man like Mr. Song will be rewarded! Song Zhengwen walked into the door of Building No. 5 of Qingyun Community, and he felt sweaty all over his body.He came to the elevator and pressed the button of the elevator, but the elevator did not respond at all.what happened?Song Zhengwen pressed a few more times, but the elevator buttons didn't even light up.

Song Zhengwen muttered something.He suddenly remembered one thing, when he was having dinner with Tao Zi, he received a call from his sister Song Yawen, who told him that the elevator was broken and someone would come to repair it early tomorrow morning. Song Zhengwen said, nonsense, why does the good elevator break down?After he finally came back late, the elevator broke down, as if the elevator was deliberately against him, and it seemed to be a punishment for his late return.Everything is so unreliable now. Song Zhengwen had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up the stairs.His family lived on the thirteenth floor, and climbing up to the thirteenth floor in this hot weather was really exhausting.But there was no way, it was impossible for him not to go home.

The lights in the corridor are sensory, and Song Zhengwen has to stamp his feet every time he goes up a floor to make the lights turn on.When Song Zhengwen stomped his feet, there was an empty echo in the entire corridor. In order to save electricity, the lights in the corridors are dimmed. Song Zhengwen likes bright lights. Under such dim lights, he will feel a kind of psychological pressure.When he reached the fourth floor, he looked back, and there was nothing in the corridor behind. Song Zhengwen suddenly had a strange idea, no one will follow me, right?This thought came up when he was out at night, especially when he was alone.

When he was walking towards the fifth floor, he felt a fragrance stimulating his taste buds.The appearance of that fragrance made him tremble all over, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.Yes, that scent was so familiar to him.He believed that his eyes were changing different colors.There is red for excitement, black for fear, pink and green for joy, and dead gray for pain... When he reached the fifth floor, he held his breath.He is rejecting the intrusion of this fragrance.A room number suddenly appeared in his mind: 501. This room number once filled him with an irresponsible pleasure, but now it is an unbearable pain for him.Song Zhengwen stood there blankly for a while.He was about to start walking to the sixth floor when the lights suddenly dimmed and went out.Song Zhengwen stomped his feet vigorously, but the light turned off strangely.

Song Zhengwen hesitated for a moment, the scent became more and more intense, Song Zhengwen didn't care whether the light was on or not, he groped his way to the sixth floor.Suddenly, Song Zheng heard another cry. Before he could realize what it was calling, he felt something soft hit his shoulder. In an instant, his neck was torn apart by something. It hurts like a burning pain.Instinctively, he reached out his hand, grabbed the soft thing, and threw it out hard.With a bang, the soft object hit the wall. At this time, the light suddenly turned on.Song Zhengwen saw clearly that it was a cat. At this moment, it didn't run away, but curled up in the corner, staring at Song Zhengwen with amber eyes.This is a white cat, this white cat makes Song Zhengwen whine in his heart, how could it be?how could be?Blood suddenly appeared on the white cat's body, and the blood soaked the white fur on its body in a short while.

His face changed, he was sweating profusely, and he ran upstairs.He heard the cat meow, and that mournful meow was so shrill and full of resentment in his heart. The police car parked in front of Violet Shampoo finally drove away with frightening lights flashing.The police did not take anyone from Violet Shampoo.Suzaku'er's face was flushed, she was sitting on the old sofa, playing with her long hair.She put a lock of long hair on her chest and twisted it with her fingers.The proprietress is scolding her, Zhu Que'er, we are a small shop with three people, and you have made all the fuss. I think if Fatty Wu is dead, you will definitely be arrested.

Zhu Que'er didn't raise her eyelids and said, I didn't kill her, I didn't even move a finger of her, why did the police arrest me! The proprietress gritted her teeth and said, "Zhu Que'er, you're fucking stubborn, you really don't know what to do, do you know why those scouts came to inspect our shampoo shop tonight?" Zhu Que'er said strangely, it's none of my business for them to come to check, and I didn't do anything illegal in the store! The proprietress pointed at Suzaku'er, her fingers were trembling, I don't even know what to say about you, if you cause me trouble again, I'll chop you up! Zhu Que'er sneered and said, Ma'am, you don't have to be so rude. To be honest, I don't want to work with you for a long time. I know that someone in the vegetable market said bad things about our shampoo shop, so I just came here. Tired of waiting! The proprietress stopped talking, her face was very ugly. Zhu Que'er tossed her hair back, stood up, and said bitterly, "Miss Boss, if you really hate me so much, I'll leave immediately!" The other hair-washing girl immediately walked up to Zhu Que'er, took her hand and shook her, "Sister, why don't you go, sister, what should I do if you leave?" Zhu Que'er said to her, don't pull me, I'm bothered, if I leave you follow me! The hair-washing girl glanced at the silent proprietress and said, we are leaving, what should the proprietress do?She is also very nice to us, you see, she even helped you fight with the bird man in the vegetable market, the proprietress is not easy. Suzaku'er snorted and turned her head to one side. At this time, the proprietress was sitting there, her face facing the street outside, and she said nothing, Zhu Que'er and the hair-washing girl saw her shoulders shrugging. The hair-washing girl shook Zhu Que'er's hand again, and said, "Sister, you see that the proprietress is also sad, but let me forget it. We are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and we can't do without each other." The proprietress suddenly sobbed, and her shoulders shrugged even more. Zhu Que'er let out a long breath, took out a few pieces of paper from the paper box, walked up to the proprietress, handed the paper to her and said, proprietress, I'm sorry, you know my temper, forget it.The proprietress pulled a tissue from her hand vigorously, wiped her eyes and said, if you get angry, you can leave as soon as you get angry, what am I. The hair-washing girl also stepped forward, and she said, Ma'am, forget it, my sister won't leave, so you don't have to be angry. The door of the shampoo shop was pushed open.Zhu Queer saw that the person who came in was A Bian, the chef of Sichuan Restaurant on Friday.The proprietress' eyes were still red, but she quickly put on a smiling face and said, "It's Master A-Bian, please sit inside, sit inside!"Queer, wash up for Master A-Bian, Cui Cui, make a cup of tea for Master A-Bian. Ah Bian smiled all over his face, you're welcome, you're welcome.He sat on the chair, looking very comfortable. Zhu Que'er smiled and said to A-Bian, Master A-Bian, let's drink again tonight. A-Bian hiccupped and said, why don't you drink, just drank a few cups after get off work.By the way, I wanted to come over just now. I saw a police car parked in front of your store but didn't come over. What happened? Zhu Que'er said, there's nothing wrong with it, the note is looking for something! A-Bian said, Zhu Que'er, it's fine, I'm still worried about something happening in your store, the police are going to seal your store, what can I do! Zhu Que'er said, ours is not the only shampoo shop on Mortal East Road, if it's closed, you can go elsewhere! A-bian said, you can’t say that, there is no place like violets, and it’s so close to our hotel, just across the road, besides, I can’t believe it in other places, how can your craftsmanship be as good as your Suzakuer! A-Bian's words amused Suzaku'er, she said, A-Bian, if you put honey on your mouth, it will be sweet! A-Bian took the opportunity to stretch his hand behind, squeezed Suzaku'er's thigh, and said, how can you know if my mouth is sweet or not, if you haven't kissed it. Zhu Que'er said, be honest, if you move around again, I'll get the shampoo in your eyes. Ah Bian chuckled, you blinded me, you have to support me for the rest of my life, I was just looking for a bowl of soft rice to eat. Zhu Que'er smiled, why are you men so worthless! At this time, Cui Cui let out a cry. The proprietress said, Cuicui, what's wrong with you? Cui Cui said, I saw a face stuck on the glass of the door, and it disappeared after a while. The proprietress looked out the door, but there was nothing. The proprietress said, Cui Cui, you must be delusional. Cuicui said, really, I saw a face. The proprietress said, this is strange. Zhu Que'er said, Cui Cui, don't be scary, I'm not afraid of anyone, I'm most afraid of evil things. A-Bian said, don't be afraid, I am here, if you are afraid, I will sleep in your shop at night. Cui Cui said, Master A-Bian, you don't have to joke with us, I really saw a face, none of you would believe it. Whose face is that?The proprietress asked, whose face is it? Cui Cui said that it was the face of Granny Wu. Suzaku'er's face was full of surprise, she put down A-Bian's head, pushed the door and walked out, the street was deserted, a taxi gliding through the quiet street, Suzaku'er looked towards the vegetable market, The vegetable market was dark.A gust of wind blew up a black plastic convenience bag.Then it fell not far away, rolling on the ground, Suzaku'er felt a palpitation.Could that haggard old woman really appear in the middle of the night? Zhu Que'er said in her heart, "Fat woman Wu, I really didn't do anything to apologize to you!" Suzaku'er thought of Ah San, this bastard hadn't shown his face for several days.Thinking of Ah San, Zhu Que'er would naturally think of Fat Po Wu. Will Fat Po Wu really show up tonight?What will she do to Suzaku'er?Will she stretch out those bloody hands and pull out something terrible from Suzaku'er's lower body?The more Suzaku thought about it, the more frightened she became. She hurried back to the store. There seemed to be footsteps in the street. On Friday, Wang Guangda, the owner of the Sichuan restaurant, also heard the police car.At that time, he hadn't left yet, and was talking with the office manager in his office. The office manager was a beautiful woman with a good temperament and a little seductive.When Wang Guangda heard the sound of the police car, his expression changed a little. The office manager felt something, she smiled and asked Wang Guangda, what's the matter with you, why are you nervous? Wang Guangda also smiled, why am I nervous, what can make me nervous! The office manager said, I don't know you yet, hehe! Wang Guangda said, what do you know about me? The office manager said, don't worry, what do I know about you, you don't know? Wang Guangda was silent for a while and said, go and see if the people in the kitchen have left. In addition, you have to explain to the person who is on duty at the restaurant at night and ask him to be careful not to sleep too hard! The office manager agreed and went out. As soon as she left the door of Wang Guangda's office, Wang Guangda locked the door behind him. Wang Guangda heard the siren of the police car outside, so he quickly opened a locked drawer, took out a mobile phone from it, and dialed a number. The number he dialed was turned off. Wang Guangda frowned, cursed viciously, and stuffed the mobile phone into his trouser pocket. After a while, the office manager knocked on the door, Boss Wang, what are you doing in there?You locked the door just after I left? Wang Guangda quickly opened the door, what else can I do, wait for you to come back! The office manager smiled strangely and said, you make me unpredictable! Wang Guangda said in his heart, if you figure it out, I won't be called Wang Guangda anymore. The office manager smiled and said, come to my place at night, and you don't want to go home. Wang Guangda thought for a while and said, I'm afraid it won't work at night, I'm too tired, let's try another day! The office manager pouted, looking angry. Wang Guangda has something on his mind, but he is still very gentle on the surface, let's go tomorrow, let's leave early tomorrow, okay?Be good, don't be angry, I'm really tired today, how about it, I'll take you back. The office manager said, it's always tomorrow, and tomorrow is gone.Do you know, how long have you not been with me, I think you must have someone else! Wang Guangda said, don't talk nonsense, who else can I have! Wang Guangda couldn't hear the sound of the police car. He was a little excited and said, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's go, I promise you, I will go to your place at night! The office manager burst out laughing. When they walked out of Friday Sichuan Restaurant, Wang Guangda had just seen Chef A-Bian enter Violet Shampoo. Wang Guangda sighed and said, this A-Bian is just as good as this one! The office manager said, you men are all alike! Wang Guangda said, I am different from him! The office manager said, if A-Bian was also the boss, he would be exactly the same as you! The office manager laughed after he finished speaking. Wang Guangda slapped her butt, can it be the same!hey-hey! Who would open a door for a pony in the dead of night?Could it be you, Donna?where is that doorWhat will the pony see when he pushes through that door?The pony dreamed of Donna again.When he woke up from the dream, it was the time when the city was sleeping soundly. He believed that all the doors in this city were closed except for the convenience stores that served all night.There may still be people wandering on the street, but there is no sign of anyone around the security booth.The pony saw his father in a dream. He stood in the distance and looked at the pony without saying a word. His father's pale face was like a mirror.The pony looked at him with the urge to cry. He was the pony's biological father, and it was he who raised the pony to be a coward.He turned around and left, the pony knew that the place he was going was a road of no return, but the pony just watched him go away, his love and hatred for the pony would go with the wind, maybe they would still be there We meet again on this road, but there is no guarantee that the pony will call him father again.After her father disappeared, Donna walked towards the pony from another direction. She brought the scent that made him unforgettable. She was covered in blood and stood in front of the pony, holding the red shoe in her hand... the pony He didn't want to recall the things in the dream, but the person in the dream had already been absorbed in the depths of his soul and couldn't get rid of it. Father reminded the pony of a distant event in such a hot night.That event changed his life.That was something he always wanted to forget, but it still reappeared in the pony's mind firmly. If there was any way to make the memory disappear, he was willing to work hard.It seemed to be summer too, the air was unusually humid, and the pony and a few friends were swimming in the humid air like fish. The sky seems to be gloomy, and there is no sunshine in the pony's memory. If there is sunshine that day, everything may change.They entered a vacant lot in the city that was overgrown with weeds.As we entered the overgrown clearing, the pony said to the other children, Let's play somewhere else. A child came up to him and said, pony, are you a coward?If it were now, the pony would admit to being a coward, but then the pony still had a little raw blood. The pony said to him, I am not a coward! Although he still entered the barren clearing with them, the pony always felt that a kind of gloom was slowly eroding his heart.Here they played a game of hide and seek.They scattered.The pony got into a hole in the grass by some strange circumstances. He knew that it was an air-raid shelter.It was cool inside the air-raid shelter.After the pony entered the air-raid shelter, it lay there motionless, he thought, it would not be so easy for them to find me. But they had been, and the pony heard them talking at the mouth of the cave.A friend wanted to come in to look for it, and another friend said, I don't think the pony is hiding in it, it's dark, maybe there are snakes in it. After speaking, they left the cave entrance.When the pony heard the word "snake", his whole body turned cold, and his heart beat wildly.There was a cool breeze coming out from the depths of the cave, and he didn't dare to look inside. He didn't know if there were really countless snakes swimming out of the depths of the cave.The pony lay there, not daring to take a breath. He stayed like that for a while, and then he had the idea of ​​escaping from the air-raid shelter.The pony tried to get up, but something in the darkness weighed heavily on his back and he couldn't move.He heard a rustling sound, which drowned him like a tide.The pony yelled loudly, but no one heard his cry for help.Suddenly, the pony heard a loud bang, and his mind and body fell into a dark abyss... When he woke up, he found himself lying in his father's arms. His father said that he woke up. The pony saw many pairs of surprised eyes. The mother watched him with teary eyes, and she said, child, you have walked before the gate of hell. Later, the pony realized that the air-raid shelter collapsed and trapped him, and if the children hadn't found his father in time and dug the air-raid shelter, he would have died. The father saved the pony, but he killed him again. Since then, he will not let the pony go out to play, and imprison him.As long as he saw that the pony was a little out of line, he would tell him, if you go out to play again, I will send you to the air-raid shelter! That air-raid shelter has become a nightmare for Pony in his life. Pony's parents are afraid that he will have problems, so they watch over him carefully. He seems to be isolated from the outside world. With the ability to recognize the world, the pony has become as timid as a mouse. Thinking of this, the pony shed tears.The fact that he is lying in the security booth now has something to do with that air-raid shelter. He used to be a sunny child, but because of that sudden accident, he turned into another gloomy coward.If he can start from scratch, the pony may change his destiny.But everything is preordained.He sighed a long time and said, Donna, if I were a different kind of person, maybe I would meet you on the sidewalk in the sunshine, present you a bouquet of roses, and greet you personally. You say, I love you!Maybe I can protect you from giving your young life that night.But I'm a gloomy, twisted, or inhuman, cowardly worm of the world. At this time, the pony suddenly heard the cry of a baby, which was exactly the same as that night. The cry was damp and cool, covering his body and mind.The air outside was still so dull, and the leaves were rustling.There seemed to be footsteps. At this time, the pony remembered something. In the middle of the night two days before Donna died, he heard a man howling under the camphor tree in the small green area next to the subway station. He was angry at someone, and he seemed to be crying bitterly.He sneaked out of the security post. He was in the hiding place and found that the man was Song Zhengwen.He hurried back to the security post. He was afraid of being discovered by Song Zhengwen, so he didn't dare to show his anger. He hated and was afraid of Song Zhengwen, a man he couldn't figure out. The pony crouched, terrified.He thought, could those footsteps belong to Song Zhengwen?Will Song Zhengwen pose a threat to himself?
