my brother is not human

The girl shook her head.

Although Xia Zhihan was expected, he still couldn't hide his disappointment. He murmured: "He is my younger brother. We have been together. A few months ago, he suddenly disappeared, and then he seemed to evaporate in the world." The same thing, they all said they never had him."

Whether Xia Chaoyin ever existed or not has become the most critical part of the whole matter.Who is right and who is wrong, who is lying, and who is covering up the truth?

"I believe in you," said the girl.

Xia Zhihan was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

The girl said: "Xia Chaoyin, he exists and does not exist. He lives in illusion. Only where your consciousness reaches, imagination becomes reality."

Xia Zhihan said, "Speaking in human terms, okay?"

The girl said: "I can only tell you that you will see him. Go to the other side of the Minghuai River and you will understand everything in it."

Xia Zhihan said, "Why did you help me?"

The girl was silent for a moment and said, "I just want to go home."

Xia Zhihan suddenly thought of the previous note, and asked, "Why did you tell me to leave that day?"

There was great fear in the girl's eyes: "They, those people, they are not human."

The girl became a little flustered, stood up, and was about to go, she whispered, "Remember, it's only on the fifteenth day! Hold your heart! Get away from the townspeople!"

Xia Zhihan didn't fully believe the girl's words, after all, he was asked to dig out his heart, what age is it, and he is also educated and educated, okay?

But the girl said some things about Ming Huaihe. He always thought that he might have some mental disorders and memory disorders, but now there is a mysterious girl who shares the same disorder with him. The crossing part is the Minghuai River.

If you want to judge the truth of what a girl said, the only starting point is her motives. Why did she follow me and find herself for no reason? She said she wanted to go home, and which home did she want to go back to?What secrets do the people in Minghuai Town have?What happened to Mother Xia who came back from the dead?

Xia Zhihan was a little unclear, as if being led by someone, he didn't like this feeling.He spent a few days trying to find some information on the Internet.He doesn't have a helper, he can only rely on himself, and he doesn't believe in the whole world.

Maybe this world is a deception, just like what the girl said, would a world without Xia Chaoyin be real?

I can't find information about Minghuai Town on the Internet. The place is too small to be covered by satellite images.The long Minghuai River in my impression is also invisible on the map.

However, Xia Zhihan found records of the Minghuai clan in a county annals.He has known that he is a Han nationality since he was a child, and he never thought that there would be such a nation.

The above shows that the Huai people migrated from the north of Shuobei during the Jin Dynasty. The analysis shows that the reason for the migration is influenced by religious beliefs, and the source may be from Russia, or even further north, the Arctic Circle. within.After that, they began to settle in Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, scattered in the northern provinces of China. After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they were basically extinct in China.There is a record of the Minghuai people in the Geographical Chronicles of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, "In the North Pole, there are continuous years of wind and snow, so there is a clan named Minghuai, who worships the Minghuai God, hides day and night, and walks in the same robe as brothers. He has black eyes. , double pupils, beautiful and varied, singing against the wind, and seeing it makes the world snow."

The county annals only gave such a vague record without too many descriptions, and it said that the Minghuai people had basically disappeared after the Qing Dynasty. So, could they be the descendants of the Minghuai people?

Xia Zhihan suddenly felt that everything was not that simple. Xia Chaoyin's disappearance, which seemed so bizarre, seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg, and more secrets were still buried under the water. People today should not touch and Searching.

Some of the above are consistent. For example, it is a place in the North Pole, with years of wind and snow, and Minghuai Town is in the north of Heilongjiang. This probably makes sense.But the latter is not quite in line, Feng Ming Huai Shen, he has never seen anyone believe in this, Xia Zhihan thought, and suddenly thought of the memorial tablet enshrined in the black coal room in his home, and the parents have never believed it. Keep them away.There will be another ninety days of hiding and traveling at night, brothers and sisters. What does this mean? Does it mean that people there hide during the day and come out at night?Brother-in-law, does it mean that they are all conjoined brothers?

If you think about it this way, the Minghuai clan is simply a ghost clan.They are all conjoined twins who specialize in night operations, and they can also ride the wind, that is, fly in the air?It does not mention that the Minghuai people have wings, so how do they fly?

Xia Zhihan had some doubts. It would be great if Chaoyin was here at this time, and he could help him. Chaoyin has always been the smarter and more capable one.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan suddenly shuddered.But Xia Chaoyin is no longer there.Maybe he really wasn't there.How accurate are the things in memory?Maybe a childhood friend you knew never existed at all, it was just something you imagined, and maybe the closest person around you was just something you imagined to comfort yourself.The human brain is amazing.

Xia Zhihan thought, he didn't want to believe that girl's words, did he want to show his heart?To do such a thing that is obviously a fantasy, take your own life.

So far, the most reasonable explanation may be that the Minghuai people did exist for a while, but they were extinct hundreds of years ago, and he, as a descendant of the Minghuai people, inherited the Minghuai people's tradition of brotherhood , I have always felt guilty about the brother I killed, so I made up this passage in my head.

He suddenly thought, since it was a fantasy, why would there be a day when he woke up from the dream?

He has thought about that day countless times.It was Xia Chaoyin's birthday that day, and he remembered everything there, the sound of the wind, the moonlight, the shadows, and the smell of alcohol.Why do you suddenly wake up on this day?

He had contacted Xiao Lin and Ah Jing many times, and they all said that they had never heard of what happened that day. Even the records of the travel agency can prove that they were indeed abroad at that time.

Since Xia Chaoyin disappeared, Xia Zhihan has not dreamed of him once.

Xia Zhihan looked at his reflection in the water, imagining Xia Chaoyin's appearance, only to realize that the two of them look alike. Although they are so similar, everyone has always distinguished them very clearly, and they will not be confused at all.One is the brilliance gathered, the proud son of heaven, and the other is a social scum with a sick leg and a lot of pain.

What they resemble the most is their eyes. Xia Zhaoyin's eyes are bigger, and Xia Zhihan's are smaller, but if you only look at the eyes, you can't tell who is who. If they are willing to show you their undisguised eyes, You will find that the eyes of two people, the color of the fundus and the light and shadow are not similar, but exactly the same.

The setting sun was like fire, slowly burning the boundless river, and in an instant, the moon rose from another direction, and the setting sun seemed to disappear in the sky.

When Xia Zhihan came back to his senses, the world was already filled with moonlight, and the Minghuai River was as black as ink, and his shadow could no longer be seen.

Yes, he came to Minghuai Bridge again, on this full moon day.

He didn't want to believe that girl's words, and he couldn't believe it, but he couldn't control himself.

As a living young man, his instinct told him that he would never do this, but he seemed to be possessed by another person's thoughts and feelings. If he wanted to know the truth, he had to know, even if it was just to know, And there is no power to change at all, he must also know.

He had to give himself an answer.

The number of pedestrians on the Minghuai Bridge changed from more to less. After eleven o'clock, the owners of the night market also walked back with their belongings.

At this moment, Xia Zhihan suddenly remembered something from the past.

Probably he also knew that he would not live long, memories began to appear one by one, and he no longer had to hide in the darkness where he doubted and dared not stare.

They were like a large flock of crows, screaming and rushing towards him, drowning him.

He remembered that on a Ching Ming Festival when he was very young, Xia's mother took him and Xia Chaoyin for an outing.That day, the two of them got up very early, and the weather was cool, with no wind or dust, just like the riverside tonight.They went to a market first, and he forgot where that market was. If his memory was all wrong, that market probably didn't exist.

But it doesn't matter now, he is going to that place too.Xia Zhihan realized that whether these were true or not, even whether he believed himself or not, was no longer important, he clearly remembered all of this, every bit of temperature, every bit of emotion was enough, wasn't it?

He remembered that he was reading a collection of jokes that day, it was very funny, he and Xia Chaoyin got up early, very happy.

No exhaustion from getting out of bed at all, no sadness and doubts from the world at all.Happiness is like a morning dew.He remembered that there were many sellers of wormwood and bracelets in the market. Mother Xia bought a red anklet for each of them, saying that it could ward off evil spirits.

They seem to have been wearing them all the time and never took them off, as if they were a mark.

Even if you go there and see Xia Chaoyin's skeleton or soul, you can still see this mark.

Xia Zhihan thought.

He bent down and opened the pants on his right leg, his sick leg.

Sure enough, there was a red string tied on it. On the clean and white leg, that leg looked very healthy. Under the moonlight, there was nothing wrong with it.

The girl said that the heart must be thrown into the river.Looking at the bright moon, Xia Zhihan didn't feel scared, just boundless peace, no matter what, he could give himself an explanation and give Xia Chaoyin an explanation.

He took off his shirt and threw it into the river. The white T-shirt floated along the river, and soon merged into the moonlight.This T-shirt has English letters drawn on it, and it was Xia Zhaoyin who helped him carry it on Taobao in the summer.His chest, with the firmness of a young man and the paleness of a sick man, his naked breasts trembling in the wind, was still the pillow and hotbed for the two of them a few months ago.
