Chapter 80 Chapter Fourteen

June 19, 2014. In the early morning, when it was still daylight, Si Wang quietly got up to take a shower. In the mirror, he saw a nineteen-year-old face, which already looked a bit like an adult, especially those dark eyes. Ten days ago, Si Wang had just finished the college entrance examination and was the first to hand in almost every exam. Under the eyes of the teachers and students, he walked out of the examination room expressionlessly. In the days after the college entrance examination, he has been shutting down at home and surfing the Internet, watching all kinds of horror movies.Although He Qingying was a little worried, it was better than him going out to cause trouble. Besides, police officer Ye Xiao had come to warn her that Si Wang was not allowed to go out on June 19, and he had to call the police wherever he went.

Last night, He Qingying sat in front of the TV and stayed up all night, and finally fell asleep at four o'clock in the morning.At this moment, she was breathing evenly on the sofa. If it was a few minutes later and the day was brighter and she woke up, Si Wang would have no chance to go out. He walked downstairs silently, got on his bicycle and kicked out of the community.The air in the rainy season is extremely humid, making it difficult to breathe, and there is still water on many grounds, and it is not known when it will rain again. Si Wang bought two omelets to satisfy his hunger, stared blankly at the people who got up early to go to work on the street, the bicycle faucet hesitated a few times, but turned to the direction of Anxi Road.

Ten minutes later, the bicycle sped to this quiet path, and he looked around with one foot. The ginkgo biloba on the side of the road became more and more lush, and the trees covered the windows of several small western-style buildings, and occasionally there were crisp birdsong. Looking at the old house along the street, the sound of residents brushing their teeth and washing their faces can be heard from the windows.The half window close to the ground was covered with thick dust—he thought of Yin Yu and the old man from his previous life. Suddenly, Si Wang turned around and looked across the street at the haunted house that had been emptied for thirty years.

19 Anxi Road. Crossing the narrow road, the rusty house number is about to fall off, and there are iron chains and large locks hanging in front of the door.There were no pedestrians around. He climbed over the low wall and practiced his skills for more than two years. He was really weak when he climbed over the wall.Stepping on the courtyard of the haunted house, Si Wang felt a sense of nausea in his heart, and subconsciously looked up upstairs.He climbed in through a broken window, the morning light shone into the dim living room, the floor was covered with dust, nothing changed from the last visit.

In 1983, on a rainy autumn night, his mother, He Qingying, killed her adoptive father here. The symbols and lines on the wall are still eye-catching, but the old blood has long since faded. He walked up the stairs with his nose covered, and found that the windows on the second floor had been opened, and the cool cross-wind whistled past, seeming to sweep away a lot of dust and cobwebs. The first door is still a dirty bathroom, the second room has a large bed like a corpse, until the last door - He Qingying's childhood boudoir. Carefully pushing open the door, I felt a familiar feeling in my heart, like the night of June 19, 1995.

The Witch Quarter on the second floor? While turning around to run away, a gust of cold wind blew behind him, and a certain figure was projected onto the opposite wall. Si Wang had nowhere to escape, and was about to bend down and turn around to throw an uppercut when the iron rod hit the top of his head heavily. There seems to be some kind of metal in the body. Spinning, he fell in the dirty corridor, blood gurgling from his forehead The head poured out until it filled his mouth. Salty, astringent, the smell of death. Heavy footsteps sounded, shaking the eardrums on the floor, trying to open the eyes wide, but was blurred into a ball of red by the blood, only to see the tilted and turbid world.

Someone grabbed Si Wang's ankle and dragged him into the small room. His chest and cheeks rubbed against the floor, and the pain was like a fire. There is a dilapidated wooden cabinet in front of him, and there are several naked wooden dolls, which are toys from his mother when he was a child. They all stared at him with wide eyes—did the dolls knock him out? Next to the cabinet is a small wooden bed, covered with a thin bamboo mat, pillows and blankets.Throwing a suitcase by the wall, a large pile of leftover instant noodle boxes, an oil-burning travel stove, and a large bucket of drinking water.

He moved his neck with all his strength, and moved his eyeballs to the limit, only to see that the mirror by the wall, the oval wooden black frame, had been polished. Finally, a figure appeared in the mirror. In the dark room on the second floor, the rusty mirror surface was quite blurry. When the man approached the mirror, a man's face was vaguely reflected. "Lu Zhongyue?" The teeth trembled slightly, with some doubts and uncertainties, and because of the large blood in the mouth, the sound was vague. The man turned from the mirror, opened the thick curtains, and looked outside.He took the mobile phone out of Si Wang's pocket, went downstairs to check around, and made sure that no one else was around before returning to the room on the second floor.

Si Wang's physique surpassed that of ordinary people, and the blood on his forehead had stopped automatically, but his head was dizzy and he didn't have the strength to get up.The other party fixed him on a chair, found a strong rope, and tied him up from head to toe. Finally, the blue birthmark on the middle-aged man's forehead was clearly exposed to Si Wang. Panting heavily, he squatted down and frowned intently, with some regret in his eyes: "We finally meet again." "You... you... are still alive..." Every time Si Wang uttered a word, his head would ache violently, almost exploding.

"I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to come to the door. If I hadn't been a wanted criminal for eight years, every night there was a panic, and my ears were as sensitive as a rabbit—maybe I would be the one who was tied here to bleed." "Are you...here...waiting for me?" He supported Si Wang's chin and replied, "I'm not that bold! Thinking of the autumn four years ago, you brought that policeman to find me, and it really scared me to death." "For the Yellow Sea." Si Wang closed his eyes and muttered to himself. "Two months ago, I just came back from the south. As an old fugitive wanted by the whole country, I have three different ID cards, but I still dare not stay in a hotel. This small building is my uncle's home, almost thirty years ago , he was killed in the living room downstairs, and it has become a haunted house ever since, and no one dares to set foot in it - I don't think you or the police would think of this place! So, I'm very curious, how did you find came here?"

"June 19th, you won't forget the date, will you?" Finally, Si Wang was able to complete a sentence. "Do you really think you are Shenming? Dear Wang'er, at least for half a year, I was your adoptive father! You are just a poor paranoid child who is always lying, controlled by the conspirators around you For example, your mother He Qingying, such as that bastard named Ma Li, in order to seize the property of the Gu family, they also completely destroyed me." "Lu Zhongyue, you should be grateful to me—I was the one who discovered the secret of your drug castration by Gu Qiusha." Sure enough, he touched a sore spot, he slapped Si Wang fiercely, then rubbed the boy's cheek and said, "I'm sorry, you've grown so big, there are many girls who like you, right?" "Really, I didn't expect you to be here! In the morning, I came to Anxi Road first, and there is a basement where Shenming lived opposite. And this sleepy haunted house used to be my mother's home. This small room belonged to her, There are these dolls on the cabinet. In the afternoon, I plan to go to Nanming High School, and I will spend it in the Witch District until ten o'clock in the evening-like a life of declaration." "Shen Ming's life?" Lu Zhongyue laughed strangely, "Little friend, is your paranoia more serious? In this world, there is no one who understands Shen Ming better than me, even better than himself." "What else do you know?" "Tonight in 1995, dying underground in the Witch's Quarter may be his best destination." Only then did Si Wang recover the strength of his facial muscles, and put on a ferocious expression: "How do you say it?" "Even if Shen Ming marries Gu Qiusha as his wife, even if he becomes Gu Changlong's son-in-law, do you think he can really become a high-ranking official? Can he really get rid of his humble background? Whether it is the Gu family or the Education Bureau, no one has ever looked up to Shen Ming He is just a pawn of Gu Changlong. In order to make him work harder, he can also kick away at any time. In 1995, after Shen Ming was regarded as a murder suspect, wasn’t that what Gu Changlong did? This kind of thing, one year earlier, one year later, will happen sooner or later. Even if he doesn't make any mistakes, everyone's jealousy alone is enough to die a thousand times!" "Thank you for telling me this..." "In this world, the only one who truly regards Shen Ming as a friend is me, Lu Zhongyue!" "You still consider him a friend?" "To this day, I still miss my best brother." Lu Zhongyue knelt down on the ground and confessed to the wall, "I'm sorry, Shen Ming, in fact, I have always been happy for you. When you were recommended to Peking University, when you Speaking of fiancée, when you become a respected teacher, I know that you are about to rise to the top and no longer need to be looked down upon from the bottom of your heart—but this world cannot tolerate people like you, no matter how hard you work in this life, work hard like walking on thin ice, taste Being both academically excellent and outstanding is nothing more than a dream in the end! A person’s fate is doomed from birth, and if he must change, he will be smashed to pieces. You don’t know, everyone is saying in private: Shen Ming, that illegitimate child, wild Kind of, grew up in a servant's basement, he is also worthy?" "Is it you who spread the word about the illegitimate child?" "In high school, I have always been curious about Shen Ming. I don't know what kind of person you are? But you never mentioned your parents, let alone took us to your house. Once, I followed you secretly and found you You live in someone else's house, and your grandmother is just a servant. That day, a middle-aged man came to see you, slipped you some money, and told you about your father. Later, I found out that he was a prosecutor. " "Is this how you dug out my secret?" "Yes, but I didn't tell you, because we are best friends. If I tell you that you are an illegitimate child, you will lose the last bit of self-esteem, and you will sever relations with me from now on. I I don't want to lose you as a friend, so I will always keep it a secret from you, including from you." "But you finally said it." Lu Zhongyue went to the window and smoked a cigarette, and slowly exhaled blue smoke: "In 1995, after the engagement ceremony between you and Gu Qiusha, I felt jealousy for the first time. Watching you accept everyone's congratulations , Although those guys hate you in their hearts, they are as obedient as dogs on the surface. I really want to lie on the ground and lick your leather shoes! You will soon have everything: status, power, wealth, and beautiful women, but I don’t know how to maintain it. How long. And me? My father is also an official, but I am not very promising. I work as an engineer in a factory that is about to close down. God knows what will happen in the future? When we were in high school together, I was always the one who paid for you. I come to school in new clothes and you look envious every once in a while—now it’s all the other way around." "I'm sorry, I should have considered your feelings earlier." "There is another reason——Gu Qiusha, ever since I saw her at your engagement ceremony, I remembered that my family and the Gu family are family friends, and I may have met her when I was a child. That night, I dreamed of her. Then, I forced I don’t want to think about her, but the more I miss her, the stronger I miss her. So, I hang out drinking every night, and I met a girl like this—thinking about it, it’s fate, she actually gave birth to my only son .” Si Wang looked at his smooth and white chin: "You still have a son?" "Yes, his name is Lu Jizong. He is also nineteen years old like you. He is a handsome, tall and thin boy. There will be many girls who like him." Face, "Back in 1995, my attitude towards Shen Ming began to reverse, I hated him from the bottom of my heart, especially when he still cared about my work and love, I hoped that he would disappear from this world." "So, you spread the claim that you are an illegitimate child?" "I only told Zhang Mingsong, our math teacher back then, but I believe that telling him is equivalent to telling the whole world, because this person is as jealous of Shen Ming as I am deep down in my heart." "You definitely did more than that with the statement—such as the so-called personal letter." Lu Zhongyue stubbed out the cigarette butt: "I wrote that letter! Only I can forge Shenming's handwriting, because we are best friends, isn't it ridiculous? I colluded with Shenming's classmate at Peking University to celebrate the New Year, that guy I just made a mistake and left Beijing, and was transferred back to the Youth League Committee of the Education Bureau of this city. We secretly discussed the content of the letter, and I will write it, and it will be handed over to the university president Gu Changlong by Lu Nian." "You killed He Nian, right?" "That's right. He Nian and I framed Shen Ming together, and I became Gu Changlong's son-in-law. He Nian only got the senior management position of Erya Education Group. He thought that the spoils were not shared equally between us, and threatened to reveal the secret, so he had no choice. I blackmailed. So, I killed He Nian. In his jeep, I hid the body in the trunk and drove to the most remote corner by the Suzhou River. Unexpectedly, two years later, I was discovered by you—— Felt that you were a terrible child." "You killed Gu Changlong too, right?" "I didn't think about killing him—he came to trouble me, broke in illegally in the early morning, and pointed a knife at my chest. I don't remember the fighting process. Anyway, when I woke up, the old man turned into a body covered in blood. It's a corpse of blood. Even though it's self-defense, I still have a murder case on my body. Once it falls into the hands of police officer Huang Hai, I will be caught sooner or later. I choose to run away overnight, but there are police everywhere, go to the train station and so on Everywhere is self-inflicted. Besides, I want to do one more thing before fleeing." "You want to kill Gu Qiusha?" Si Wang's physical strength has gradually recovered, and the pain in his arm is getting worse when he exerts a little force. "The person I hate the most in this life is her! Before I knew it, my wife castrated me, and no man would forgive her. I killed her. She couldn't conceive herself, and she didn't even allow her husband A woman who gave birth. Fortunately, before I married her, I left a seed for another woman, and she actually gave birth to me—if there is no successor, I don’t know why I still live like this?” "The most precious thing to you - is your child." He lit another cigarette, his lips were a little purple, "I have reached this stage of misery, living a life like rats and wild dogs all day long, even if I was shot, it would be better than what I am doing now! But if I die, who will protect me?" His son? He will forever become a child without a father, living under the discrimination of everyone all his life, just like Shen Ming who died back then—I don’t want my son to become the same as Shen Ming!” "You're going to kill him." "No, I will live with Jizong." Lu Zhongyue laughed to himself, "You won't understand." "There's another question—how did you recognize me all of a sudden? Compared with when I was in elementary school, I can't even recognize myself." "When I came back to this place, I slept during the day and haunted at night. I remembered your original address, and ran over to find that it had become a construction site. I tried every means to inquire, and I also wanted to avoid being seen my face, and finally I found out where you live. I followed you quietly, for example, two weeks ago at night, you went to the food stall to chat with people and eat." "No wonder I feel eyes on me." Si Wang felt 10,000 regrets in his heart, why didn't he call Ye Xiao to stop at that time, and immediately searched for the wanted criminals around? "Little friend, I still want to thank you for chatting with me-for the first time in eight years, I have spoken so much!" "I'm not a child." "Sorry, I'm going out to find someone, please sit here obediently, goodbye." The nineteen-year-old boy blurted out: "Is it too late to reincarnate?" This was Shen Ming's mantra in high school, Lu Zhongyue's heart beat wildly, but on the surface he remained calm, and took out a roll of tape cloth from the suitcase. Just as Si Wang was about to struggle, his mouth was sealed with tape.Lu Zhongyue patted his face, checked the room and windows, and left. No. 19 Anxi Road, haunted house, the second floor is as quiet as a tomb, in the prison of ropes and tapes, Si Wang snorts like a mad dog.
