family of doctors

Shao Rong was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

He sat on the sofa hugging the bear and sank into the painful memories. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep because of being too exhausted. When he was woken up by the phone, it was already dark. Lili light rain.

Shao Rong was groping in the dark, scooped up the phone from the table, pressed the answer button, and heard a familiar voice in his ear, with unconcealable anxiety: "Shao Rong, I'm Chen Linlin, can you help me?" Do you do me a favor?"

Shao Rong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Linlin to call him.

After careful calculation, three days ago, the night of my birthday was the day when Chen Linlin's mother passed away.The past few days have been too chaotic, my mind is completely occupied by Shao Changgeng's affairs, and I completely forget to care about my best friend.Thinking of this, Shao Rong felt a little guilty, so he hurriedly said softly: "What's the matter, Linlin?"

"My home was sealed off by the police as the scene of the crime. I used to live in a nearby hotel, but today a man came to me and said it was my father, forcing me to go abroad with him. I don't want to see him, I want to change places Let’s avoid it first. I don’t have enough money, can you lend me some first?”

She sounded out of breath, obviously just run from the hotel.Shao Rong still remembered that Chen Linlin said that she lived with her mother since she was a child and had never met her father. Why did that man who never paid attention to her suddenly appear after her mother passed away?

No one could easily accept such a father who fell from the sky.

Shao Rong was silent for a while, and said, "Do you want money now? I don't have any cash in my hand, so I have to go to the bank to scoop it up. Or you can ask Jinnian for help first?"

Chen Linlin paused, and said: "I originally wanted to find Jinnian, but...his grandfather had a heart attack this afternoon, and this time it seemed to be quite serious. The hospital issued a critical illness notice, and now their whole family is staying at the hospital. Now, Jinnian's parents have also rushed back, and everyone in the Xu family is in a mess... I can't bother him anymore, I can only trouble you."

Mr. Xu, Shao Rong met yesterday at Xu's house. The old man was really sick for a long time, and his complexion was very bad. He didn't show up for breakfast today. Unexpectedly, he had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital in the afternoon.Now the Xu family is probably in a mess, but fortunately, I didn't go back to make trouble for them.

Chen Linlin continued: "Do you have no cash in hand? Can you ask your father for help? I only borrow 2000 yuan for emergency, and I will pay you back when the deposit is due next month."

Shao Rong thought for a while and said, "You are looking for a place to live, right?"

"correct."

"How about this, I'll give you an address, you come and live with me."

"Ah?" Chen Linlin was surprised, "Live with you?"

Shao Rong nodded, "By the way, go to the supermarket to buy some toiletries, and bed sheets and quilt covers. I don't have any here."

Chen Linlin hesitated, "Is your father not at home? Is it convenient for me to come and live?"

"It's okay." Shao Rong paused, "This is my place, he won't care about it."

An hour later, Chen Linlin walked up to the door vigorously carrying her luggage, a huge white suitcase in one hand, and a plastic bag in the other.Quilt covers, bed sheets, towels, toothbrushes, daily necessities are all available, even soap and shower gel, as expected, she is a girl, she is much more careful in her work.

Shao Rong took the luggage from her and locked the door smoothly.

Chen Linlin looked around the room. The design of this two-storey small villa is very warm, and the warm-colored furniture looks very delicate, but there are some broken cobwebs in the corners of the roof and dust on the walls. Chen Linlin couldn't help it. Zhu asked curiously: "Is this house rarely lived in?"

"Well, no one has lived in it for a long time. I did a hasty sweep just now, but maybe it hasn't been cleaned yet." Shao Rong smiled apologetically, "Let's just stay for one night and clean it carefully tomorrow morning. I've wronged you. "

"It doesn't matter, it's fine if you have some." Chen Linlin curled her lips and smiled, sat on the sofa, looked at him and asked, "By the way, why did you come to live here alone? Where's your father?"

Shao Rong's face was a little stiff, and after a while, he said lightly: "My father, he is on a business trip."

He obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, Chen Linlin saw that his face was not good-looking, so she shut her mouth knowingly.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward for a while, Shao Rong was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is there any progress in the police on your mother's case?"

Chen Linlin smiled wryly and shook her head, "Officer Su, who is in charge of the case, has approached me several times, always asking my mother if she has offended anyone. But I really don't know who she has offended, she is such a gentle person with such a good temper ...What did I do wrong to make the other party hate her to the point of killing her?"

Having said this, Chen Linlin's face turned pale, and her lips began to tremble slightly.

"The forensic doctor's results came out. Anyway, it was a fatal shot. It was probably a professional killer hired by someone. I didn't know that my mother's background was so complicated. I always thought she was just an ordinary nurse."

Shao Rong glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask these questions..."

"It's okay. I've been questioned countless times by the police in the past three days. I'm used to it." Chen Linlin smiled with an ugly face. Someone who claimed to be my father appeared and said he wanted to take me abroad."

"..." Shao Rong could fully understand her mood.

People who have never cared about their mother and daughter came out at this moment as if they were slapping her in the face.Not to mention that Chen Linlin refused to recognize him, even as Chen Linlin's friend, Shao Rong only had aversion to that person.

"The person who claims to be your father... who is it?" Shao Rong couldn't help asking.

"He said his name was Ouyang Lin, and he was a forensic doctor. It is said that he chose my name Chen Linlin himself. The word 'Lin' comes from the homonym of his name Ouyang Lin."

"Ouyang Lin?" Shao Rong always felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

Chen Linlin nodded, "He also said that my mother originally studied forensic medicine and was his first student. Later, my mother couldn't stand the smell of corpses, so she changed her career to study nursing, and got a nurse's license to work as a nurse in the hospital. After they got married, Some accidents happened, he wanted to take his mother abroad with him, but at that time my mother couldn't go with him for various reasons."

"..." Shao Rong always felt that what she said was a bit strange, but he couldn't analyze what was wrong.

Chen Linlin continued: "When he was abroad, he actually kept in touch with my mother. My mother took me to study abroad this time to reunite with him. His mobile phone still saves my birthday photos from childhood to adulthood. Photo."

"Isn't it ridiculous?" Chen Linlin raised the corners of her lips, showing an ugly smile, "When he said this, I really... really wanted to splash a basin of cold water on his face."

Seeing Chen Linlin's ugly face, Shao Rong couldn't help but reached out and patted her shoulder lightly.

"Linlin, don't be sad...all of this will pass."

Yes, everything will pass.

When he was six years old, he witnessed the scene of his mother's death with his own eyes. The unforgettable fear and pain will eventually be erased by time.

The unspeakable insults and injuries I endured from my beloved father on my birthday, and the memories of huddling in the bathtub and trembling gently will eventually fade away in my mind.

There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Even if they stumbled and bruised all over the ups and downs, after a long, long time, they will mature, the beauty of the past will no longer move them, the pain of the past will no longer make them cry, they will become calm, become indifferent.

They will be smoothed by time, all the edges and corners.

The drizzle lasted until late at night, and the two of them put on all the sheets and quilt covers that Chen Linlin bought, and it was already one o'clock in the morning by the time they finished cleaning the room.

This small villa has many rooms, but only two are used as bedrooms, one is Anfei's master bedroom, the other is Shao Rong's bedroom when he was a child, and there is also a study room with a bunch of large Next door to the study is my mother's studio, which contains many works in her spare time.

Shao Rong originally wanted Chen Linlin to sleep in his own room and sleep on the sofa in the study, but Chen Linlin took a look upstairs and found that one bedroom was a boy's bedroom, so she took the initiative to move her luggage to another...that is, Anfei bedroom.

Seeing that she was busy tidying up the deserted bedroom, Shao Rong didn't say anything else.

People have died in this house before, and it seems ridiculous to say such things now.It would be too pretentious to sleep on the sofa without a bed, and besides... He thought that his mother would not mind Chen Linlin sleeping on her bed.

After everything was settled, the two slept separately in the bedroom on the second floor. Shao Rong couldn't fall asleep looking at the familiar ceiling.

In two months, the school will start. I have always wanted to study in the UK, and I have worked so hard to take the IELTS test for so long. But now, I finally got the inheritance left by my mother to solve the tuition fee problem. Shao Changgeng also let go completely. You can go abroad without any worries...

But the strange thing is that now, the idea of ​​wanting to go abroad is not as strong as it was at first.

I even felt like a fool for going all the way to England to study medicine.

His original intention of studying medicine was to help Shao Changgeng, but now, even this original intention has become ridiculous.

Having insomnia until five o'clock in the morning, Shao Rong fell into a deep sleep at dawn.

Perhaps because of returning to this place, many scenes from his childhood reappeared in his dream.

In the dream, the young woman was thin and pale, her black hair was pulled back, and a silver hairpin was stuck on her head. Although she had been ill all the time, she still couldn't conceal her outstanding temperament.

The child lying next to her had big eyes and smiled happily when she bent over. The child inherited the woman's fair skin, and her red lips were pouty and cute.

The woman was sitting at the desk, writing something on the paper, while the child was rolling around on the carpet to play with the electric car. When the car rolled to the woman's feet, the woman smiled helplessly and turned around and said, "Xiao Rong, don't Play, come, let mom see what you have learned in school these days?"

"Mom, I learned how to write my own name!" The child happily walked over, scooped up the woman's pen and wrote the word "Shao Rong" on the paper. childish.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "That's great, I learned how to write. Then can you do math problems?"

The child said, "I can do addition."

"Well, then I'll ask you a question, how much are seven sevens plus eight eights plus nine nines?"

The child thought for a while, and began to count with his fingers seriously, "Seven plus eight equals fifteen, plus nine equals... 24, right mom?"

The woman patted his head, "I mean seven sevens, plus eight eights, plus nine nines."

Then she quickly wrote down a series of numbers on the paper, 7777777+88888888+999999999.

Looking at this series of numbers, the child was completely dumbfounded. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "This is too difficult, I don't know how to count, Mom." Then he tugged on her sleeve aggrievedly. , "The teacher only taught me the addition of single digits, and I can only add to one hundred."

The woman smiled and patted his head, "I will forget it when I grow up." After a pause, she added, "You must remember to calculate this problem again when you grow up."

At the end of the dream is the mother's stiff corpse and pale face.

The frightening cold temperature, like the frozen meat scooped out of the refrigerator, is as real as if it is right in my hand.

Shao Rong was awakened instantly, the beating heart in his chest made him gasp for breath.

Next to her was Chen Linlin with a surprised face. She asked suspiciously, "Shao Rong, what's wrong with you? I kept waking you up and couldn't wake you up. When I came in, I heard you talking in your sleep." Chen Linlin reached out and touched Shao Rong's forehead, "You have a fever gone."

Shao Rong took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

That dream was so real that Shao Rong even felt that he had really returned to the most innocent and happy childhood.However, at the end of the dream, he saw his mother's body again...

Such nightmares frequently appeared when his mother just passed away. Later, after Shao Changgeng adopted him, he was afraid of having nightmares, so he pestered Shao Changgeng to sleep together. Shao Changgeng's body was warm, and he felt at ease in his arms. Very comfortable, since the day I was hugged and slept by him, this nightmare has never happened again.

But because of returning to this villa last night, the terrible dream reappeared again.

After waking up from such a long-lost nightmare, Shao Rong still had lingering fears and chills all over his body.

"Shao Rong, your face is so ugly, why don't I go buy some medicine for you." Chen Linlin looked at him worriedly, "You must have caught a cold after being drenched in the rain yesterday, you should rest well and wait until I come back from buying medicine. "

Shao Rong hurriedly stopped her, "No need, it's inconvenient to go to the city from here..."

"It's okay. When I came here yesterday, I found a residential area at the foot of the mountain. There are supermarkets and pharmacies. It takes about half an hour to walk there." Chen Linlin paused and said, "I'm going to buy some medicine and some food by the way. You are not sick, we must not be hungry." Then he turned and left.

Seeing her back disappearing through the door, Shao Rong clenched his fingers tightly, and sat on the bed by himself and took a deep breath to calm down his intense emotions.

Maybe he really had a fever. When he got off the bed, he felt dizzy, lightheaded and light-headed, as if the whole world was shaking. Shao Rong rubbed his sore and swollen temples, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and then turned and walked away the study.

On the table in the study was the silver safe that he scooped up from the lawyer yesterday. This safe was well preserved and its color was brand new.

Shao Rong looked at the safe on the table, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

What kind of confidential thing did his mother leave him that required such a high-end safe?

What's the password?Didn't she leave the combination to the safe with the will?

Shao Rong walked over and tried to enter his birthday on the combination disk.

A line of English letters is displayed on the screen to prompt: invalidpassword.

Shao Rong froze for a moment.

This safe was obviously bought by my mother from abroad on purpose. The trademarks are all in English, and there may be an anti-deciphering program installed in it, which will remind you that there is only one last chance after entering the wrong password for the second time.

This is the second input error, so... Maybe Shao Changgeng made the first error?Had he tried to open this safe too, but failed?

Even he doesn't know the password?

So... after all these years, no one has ever opened the box?

Shao Rong suddenly became nervous, and his intuition told him that there must be some very confidential information here.

Maybe... that information will be directly related to me, that's why my mother left a relic in such a secret way.

But what is the password?

The math problem that his mother often asked him when he was a child flashed through his mind again.

"What is seven sevens plus eight eights plus nine nines?"

"You will forget it when you grow up. You must remember to calculate this topic again."

Shao Rong hurriedly scooped out his phone, calculated the problem with a calculator, and looked at the string of numbers displayed on the screen: 1096666664.

I quickly entered these ten numbers with a nervous mood, and suddenly a beep sounded in my ear, and the combination lock of the safe was actually opened!

However, Shao Rong was suddenly stunned——

In the big safe, there was only a diary and some fragmented documents. The thick black cover of the diary suddenly made Shao Rong feel a suffocating sense of dullness in his heart.

He took out the diary and touched its cover lightly with his hands. The material of the diary is excellent. After so many years, the paper still hasn't faded in the slightest.

What is the amazing inside story recorded in the diary that has been sealed for 12 years?

Shao Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally, driven by curiosity, he gently opened the first page of the diary.
