Chapter 16 Extra Story - The Cochlea

Li Hong was the only child of the Li family, but strictly speaking he was the second child. He had an elder brother above him, but he died when he was three years old.He was born on the second day after his brother passed away. Li's mother thought it was his brother reincarnated into the family, so she loved Li Hong very much and even gave him his brother's name.

There is a big river called Luosheng River in Hongli Village, which runs through the large wasteland behind the village, surrounded by a few big rocks and few weeds.I heard that 30 years ago, the village chief planned to divide this wasteland into households and cultivate it into farmland, but the farmers who contracted it either disappeared or died. Everyone in the village felt that this piece of land was unlucky, so they gradually abandoned it.Today, this land still maintains the appearance of decades ago, full of desolation, no insects and ants, a few rotten nets have been inserted, and a warning sign has been erected, telling the villagers not to approach.

Li Hong thrived until he was 15 years old, and he developed a mental addiction that he shouldn't have. He often skipped classes and hid in the corner of the school toilet to smoke cigarettes.The originally cool and shiny short hair was dyed khaki, and a fan was erected with inferior mousse; three small holes were opened on the right earbone, and an aluminum ring was worn. Apart from the normal attire, it was really bad The appearance of a boy.

"Hongzi, are you going to swim in the Luosheng River tomorrow?" Wang Qiang leaned naked on Li Hong's arm with a short cigarette in his mouth, and Li Hong's entire sleeve was wet with sticky sweat.

"Luo Shenghe?" Li Hong snatched the cigarette from Wang Qiang's mouth and put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, "My mother won't let me go."

The bent cigarette butt was accurately thrown into the bushes by the roadside, and there was a little bit of fire.

Wang Qiang grinned his yellow teeth, and laughed so that the flower branches trembled, "Hey, when did you become a good son of mother." Putting his strong arm on Li Hong's shoulder, he whispered in his ear, "Yes! Brother Shui asked me to call you, you should understand..."

Li Hong moved aside inadvertently, his face darkened.Brother Shui is their boss. Although he is not strong, he has a ruthless heart. He picks a few people who are not pleasing to the eye every now and then to make an example of them in front of the brothers, and his position is very solid.

Li Hong is the fifth younger brother he has taken in, and also the most special one.From the first time he met Li Hong, Brother Shui secretly vowed to get Li Hong into his hands, and he did a lot of things to put hot faces on cold asses.However, his patience has always been bad, especially in the summer when the crime rate is high, and his methods against Li Hong become more and more ruthless.

"Okay, I got it." Although Li Hong hated Brother Shui, he didn't want to tear his face and cause trouble for himself.

Wang Qiang smiled wretchedly and stopped provoking him.

The summer in Hongli Village always makes people feel that something is missing, that is vitality.Whether it is day or night, there are very few people on the street, and even the watchdog at home doesn't bother to bark a few times, and the occasional chirping of insects makes people feel rare.

Li Hong sat on the stage with his legs crossed on the edge, staring intently at the lantern above his head.

"Hongzi, it's so early." Brother Shui walked to the stage with a smile, his eyes narrowed like a cunning fox.

Li Hong shifted his gaze to him, and subconsciously frowned.

"Morning Brother Shui!"

He jumped off the stage neatly and bowed respectfully, with a stiff smile on his face.

"En." Greeting Wang Qiang beside him, the three of them walked towards Luosheng River together.

There is an inconspicuous hole on the west side of the fence, which was accidentally discovered by Brother Shui when he was cleaning up his younger brother.The three of them broke through the net hole and quickly got in, stepping on the wet and soft soil to the river.

The surface of the Luosheng River looked very clear, with faint blue ripples, and a few black stones were dotted here and there on the bottom.I don't know if it's because the water is clear but there are no fish, and there is not even a single swimmer in the river.

"Hongzi, let's go together!" The naked/naked brother Shui raised his hands on the shore not far away, heeled, and was getting ready to enter the water.

Li Hong smiled embarrassingly, and jumped into the water with his clothes on.

The smell in the water was a bit unpleasant, just like Wang Qiang's breath. After staying for a few minutes, Li Hong couldn't bear it anymore and climbed ashore.

Lying on the shore, Li Hong's eyes were pitch black, and his head was a little dizzy. It took a long time for him to feel better.

"Hypoglycemia?" Li Hong took out the river water that had been poured into his ear, and a golden thread flowed out.

"Hongzi, did you see Brother Shui?" Wang Qiang, who crawled out of the water, looked flustered, and ran towards Li Hong in a hurry.

Li Hong put the silk thread in his pocket, pointed to the river, "Isn't it in the water?"

"It's gone, it's gone..." Wang Qiang held his head in his hands, his eyes were like two copper bells, and he murmured, "It's gone in a blink of an eye, it's gone..."

"What exactly happened?" Li Hong pulled Wang Qiang out of the fence, and pressed him against a rough stone.

Wang Qiang's white lips trembled, his fingers tightly grasped Li Hong's shoulder, recalling everything just now.

As soon as Brother Shui jumped into the water, Wang Qiang followed suit, and the two were diving not far away.Wang Qiang knew that Brother Shui's water skills were actually not very good, and he usually went ashore after staying in the water for a while, but today Brother Shui was uncharacteristically floating straight in the water, staring at Wang Qiang in front of him with the corners of his lips curled up.

Just as Wang Qiang was about to reach out to touch Brother Shui, a strong sense of suffocation strangled his throat, he spat out a few blisters with difficulty, and struggled out of the water with his hands and feet.When he adjusted his condition and returned to the water again, he found that Brother Shui was gone. He only found a silver earring between the rocks, and he faintly sensed that something happened to Brother Shui.

"Wang Qiang, don't worry, maybe Brother Shui will go home first, let's go back and have a look." Li Hong dragged the panicked Wang Qiang back, hoping that Brother Shui would not show up.

There is only one grandfather in Brother Shui's family, and his parents both work in the city. They will send a large sum of living expenses to the two of them every month. Apart from the lack of family affection, he has not been treated badly in material terms.

When Li Hong and Wang Qiang came to Brother Shui's house, his grandfather was taking a nap in the room on the second floor. He didn't show much surprise when he saw the two of them coming, but just listened quietly to Wang Qiang's narration of the whole incident.

"Ah, I see." The old man stood up and made a gesture of pushing his hands out towards Li Hong and the others, obviously trying to drive them away.

The door behind him was slammed shut, creating a cloud of dust.

"Thank you, old lady." The old man caressed the black and white photo in the photo frame. The old man in it had two dimples on his cheeks, and his crooked eyebrows and eyes were filled with a deep smile.

The old man took out a photo of Brother Shui from the lower drawer, put it in the old man's photo frame, and bowed with both hands together.

After dinner, I heard from the neighbors that Brother Shui was dead. I found his body on the rough rock outside the guardrail. His body was dry and there was no trace of water. s things.

The whole village was a little more lonely than usual, but there were many rumors.Some said that he messed with men and women, was eunuched, and listed the names of several girls, and was suppressed by his family for several days; Elixir; even his unique sex life.In short, the whole village was in panic, and the school decided to suspend classes for a week.

Li Hong and Wang Qiang didn't tell about Luo Shenghe's matter, they knew tacitly that Brother Shui was killed by dirty things.Not long after, Wang Qiang left the village with his family, and Li Hong was the only one who knew the secret.

Brother Shui's death was finally judged to be an accident. Even if there were doubts, he selectively ignored them. This article has been turned over.

But Li Hong's troubles had just begun.

"Whoo-"

"It's coming again!" Li Hong turned around irritably. Since Brother Shui's death, the noise piercing his brain would ring in his ears at regular intervals every night, and it wouldn't disappear until he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hee hee hee." The murmur turned into a series of strange laughter, colliding in Li Hong's brain.

Li Hong wrapped the sheet into a ball and covered his head, his voice was much clearer than before.

"Li Hong, Li Hong."

"Who the hell are you!" Li Hong shouted into the air dejectedly, and the light bulb above his head flashed twice symbolically.

"Brother Water!"

Li Hong slammed into the wall, Brother Shui's shadow flickered under the dim light.

Then it was like an old movie unfolded in front of my eyes, and the time was quickly rewinded to the day when the incident happened.

Brother Shui tried his best to swing his hands and feet toward the water surface. Just when he touched the water surface, his feet were dragged back into the water with both hands, and his body could not move immediately. The oxygen in his lungs was continuously squeezed out by the river water, and he died. The numbness made him slowly close his eyes.

"I reminded you not to touch Li Hong, why didn't you listen?" A cold hand touched Brother Shui's cheek, and his nails slowly pierced in.

"Don't let go of these unruly eyes."

Brother Shui's eyelids were turned up by the fingers that came out of the eyeballs, leaving only a deep eye socket.

"and this……"

Slowly move your fingers down the abdomen, pinch the root and gently pull it, and the whole root is pulled out.

"Well--"

"Good boy, don't bark." The ghost behind covered Brother Shui's mouth and nose with his hands, licked his left earring earring with his tongue, the tip of his tongue rolled, and the earring stuck to the minced meat fell into the water.

Ghost looked at Li Hong who was sitting on the shore, and smiled softly.

"Remember, my name is Li Hong!"

Ghost whispered in Brother Shui's ear, and then swallowed him whole.

"You're an older brother!" Li Hong heard from his mother that he had a deceased older brother, and he also inherited his name from his older brother.

"Hee—so you know me." Gui Mei seemed very happy, and the light bulb was immediately scrapped by the flash.

"Why did you kill Brother Shui?"

"Huh?" Ghost seemed to be a little puzzled by Li Hong's question, "Isn't that what you thought in your heart?"

With both hands encircling Li Hong's body from behind, a cold breath rushed to his ears.

Li Hong caressed the earring of his left ear with his fingers, let out a shallow breath,

"Um……"
