Despicable Games [Top]

Kang Wenwen fell asleep in a daze, and he had a dream.

In the dream, Nie Fei was calling his name, and the seniors were calling him too.The five numbers "77171" in front of my eyes were spinning crookedly and non-stop. In a trance, these are numbers but not like numbers.

"Ding--ding--ding--"

Kang Wenwen was awakened by a bell.

"Hey?"

"OK, all right."

It was from the funeral home, and it turned out that it was already night.

In another hour, Nie Fei will really leave.

Kang Wenwen raised his hand and patted his cheek vigorously to wake himself up.

"call--"

Nie Fei's parents still haven't replied...

Kang Wenwen was not disappointed or dissatisfied.It seems that there is no feeling at all, and everything doesn't matter anymore.Whether they come or not has nothing to do with me.

Maybe it's numbness or accepting the reality, seeing Nie Fei Kang Wenwen again didn't feel any ups and downs.As if he was just a stranger who came to see him off.

According to the procedure, Kang Wenwen had to stand by Nie Fei's freezer, and silently recited the last words he wanted to say to the deceased, saying his final farewell.

The thousands of words in my heart on the way here are gone now.

Nie Fei, who had been sleeping in the freezer for a whole day, was no different from falling asleep except for the blue eyes.Kang Wenwen's first thought turned out to be, "It turns out that the appearance of the dead in "DK" is the same as in reality."Is this called 'peace'? '

Kang Wenwen stretched out his hand to straighten Nie Fei's collar, just like the last time when Nie Fei went to see a girl, Kang Wenwen carefully closed his collar.

"Let's go." During the 10-minute farewell time, Kang Wenwen didn't say this sentence in his heart until the last moment.

Check Nie Fei's clothes.Well, very neat.

Kang Wenwen pursed his lips and smiled, this time you kid didn't chatter about choosing clothes like this or that.

The tears seemed so hot in this cold room that they almost burned Kang Wenwen's cheeks.

"Hey, young man, don't cry, don't cry..." The staff next to him handed over the prepared paper, and pulled Kang Wenwen back a bit, "Don't drop your tears in it."

Kang Wenwen nodded, took the tissue without asking further questions.You can't go in with tears. Think about it, there should be some rules.

There was a shortage of freezers, and neither Kang Wenwen nor Nie Fei had any money. The funeral home already asked Nie Fei to stay for an extra day because they were still children.

"Send him away." The staff said sadly.

Kang Wenwen didn't make a sound the whole time, just nodded.

Seeing Nie Fei being pushed away, Kang Wenwen's sadness was like a flood breaking a bank, breaking through his numb nerves and rushing to his heart.

Kang Wenwen, who had always been a little apprehensive about the "dead", squatted in the freezer and wept in front of so many "people" lying in the freezer under countless "sights".

Nie Fei's body has been "frozen" by the staff.

Kang Wenwen followed the staff of the funeral home to fill in the death certificate. Kang Wenwen took a one-inch black and white photo of Nie Fei to the wall of the portrait and found a space to put "Nie Fei" there.

Finger caressing Nie Fei's photo.

"It's okay, I will have such a day." I don't know whether this sentence is said to himself or to the white-teethed Nie Fei who is smiling happily.

Looking sideways at the photos on the wall of the portrait, there is no end to this wall in the gloomy night.Under the dense black and white photos, the smiles of those people became brighter and brighter, and all "eyes" were fixed on Kang Wenwen.

Although Kang Wenwen felt the chill, he still wanted to stay here with Nie Fei for a while longer.Leaving him in this unfamiliar place like this, Nie Fei will definitely complain.

"Hello, his name is Nie Fei and he will be your neighbor from now on. He is super talkative, please be patient." Kang Wenwen bent down and said to an old man next to Nie Fei.

"Hello, he called Nie Fei, please take care of him in the future."

"Hello, his name is Nie Fei..."

"Hello,...."

The originally "ghostly" wind whistle now seemed like Kang Wenwen's inner cry, and everyone's answer and comfort.

"Nie Fei, I'm leaving. I'll come see you tomorrow." Knocking Nie Fei on the head, Kang Wenwen said in an extremely helpless tone, "You should have a good rest."

He said hello to the staff who sent him to the intersection before, and then left the funeral home under the terrified look of the other party.Kang Wenwen didn't want to guess why the staff member was so frightened, at most he saw himself talking to himself.

It was already late at night when Kang Wen heard the news, and there was no subway to go back, so he had to walk back on his own feet.

The street lights were flickering, as if a strike was about to take place the next moment.

Kang Wenwen looked at the narrow and dark road under his feet, and then looked up at the same narrow and dark sky.

The "tube buildings" on both sides of the road are as narrow and dark.The densely packed small windows on the tall straight tube are like the photos on the wall of the portrait.Every room is so small, living in it is like living in the freezers.

What is the difference between living and dying?

Kang Wen couldn't feel his feet, and finally walked to the door of the house.

Pushing open the door, I looked at the single bed in the room that took up the entire room.I feel more and more that my room is like a coffin.

I used to read books, and the description of 'coffin' in it was like this.The elongated wood and the semicircular head of the coffin are boxes for carrying human remains.The quality of the material reflects the life of the person.

Both Kang Wenwen and Nie Fei lived in small boxes, while the rich and capable lived in big boxes.In the past, people lived and died in such a "box", but it changed from a big box to a small box.It's the same now, it's changed from a small box to a place with no box, only a place the size of a tofu block to post a photo.

Kang Wenwen didn't care about the cold air still lingering on his body, and fell straight on the bed.His eyes stared at the wall next to the bed without blinking until his consciousness gradually blurred.

I thought I could sleep until the third morning with this sleep, but Kang Wenwen was woken up by the bracelet early the next morning.

Looking at the number, Kang Wenwen looked familiar and directly connected.

Before there was a "Hello", a woman's cry came from the opposite side.Kang Wenwen's scalp tingled in shock.What's the matter? The ghost called?

Kang Wenwen's hands trembled a little, and he glanced at the time in the upper right corner, it was 7 o'clock in the morning.I haven't heard of ghosts during the day, although I can't see the sun now.

Bite the bullet, Kang Wenwen said "Hello" to the other side.

The cry suddenly became a little farther away, and just as Kang Wenwen was listening to the voice from inside, a deep male voice suddenly sounded.

"Hi, I'm Nie Fei's father."

Kang Wenwen held down his heart that was about to stop suddenly. He was not frightened by a 'ghost' at the funeral home last night, but he was frightened this morning.

"Hello, Uncle Nie?" It's because I don't know how to address him, and I don't know what attitude to use.

"Hello, we're calling to ask..." The other side hesitated to speak, but Kang Wenwen also knew what he wanted to ask with raised eyebrows.

"Nie Fei left yesterday, and I was the only one who sent him off." Kang Wenwen didn't want to comment on Nie Fei's parents, but he still couldn't control his bad tone.

Kang Wenwen didn't know what happened between them, but he didn't even come to see his son off for the last time, so Kang Wenwen really couldn't say anything about "sorry and make peace".

"Where is he?" Nie Fei's father's voice was calm, as if he was talking about something trivial.

It's just that the crying over there was louder.

When Kang Wen heard the name of the place, the other party hung up the phone without even saying a word of courtesy.

Seeing the cold words "call ended", Kang Wenwen felt even colder in his heart.

Although he had only slept for a few hours, Kang Wenwen still picked up his clothes and went out.

I don't know how far away Nie Fei's parents lived. Kang Wenwen had already stood in front of the portrait wall for an hour.If he hadn't asked the guard before he came in, and no one had been here before him, Kang Wenwen would have wondered if they had come and gone.

"I originally planned to come in the afternoon, but suddenly encountered something so I came empty-handed." Kang Wenwen didn't get enough sleep and didn't eat for several days, and some of the candy in his hypoglycemic pocket was also eaten on the way here.

Sitting on the ground with one buttocks, looking up at Nie Fei with a slight nod.

"Just talk like this, don't get tired."

Kang Wenwen scratched his head looking at Nie Fei's photo, and said, "Actually, if you don't buy anything, you will have no money. I will bring you delicious food when I succeed in identifying it next time."

"Nie Fei." Kang Wenwen lowered his eyes and said dryly, "Are you because of "71"..."

He raised his hand and pinched the sore brows, and said with a wry smile, "Why don't you tell me in a dream."

"Are you Nie Fei's friend?" A male voice suddenly sounded behind Kang Wenwen.

In fact, Kang Wenwen heard footsteps when they came over, but he didn't react for a while.This time, when he heard the voice, he knew it was Nie Fei's father.

Standing up and patted his butt casually, Kang Wenwen stretched out this hand to the other party, "Uncle Nie, my name is Kang Wenwen and I am Nie Fei's friend."

The man was about 1.8 meters tall, standing in front of Kang Wenwen completely blocking the sunlight.Narrow eyebrows, high nose bridge.The shaved jaw turned slightly inward, looking down at Kang Wenwen.

Glancing at Kang Wenwen's hand, he gestured to the person he was supporting and said, "I'm sorry."

Kang Wenwen withdrew his hand, smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

Understand size!Is your right hand a prosthesis? !

"How can you still laugh?! Why did my son make a friend like you!" The woman who was crying to death was supported by the man's right hand. She looked dying, but her voice was loud and unshakable.

"Xiaojie." The man whispered.

But the other party didn't restrain himself, "You must have killed my son! Hongfang, you must carefully check whether our son is..."

"Okay!" The man called Hongfang frowned and said sharply, "I know how to cry!"

Kang Wenwen sneered in his heart, shouldn't his son be crying after his death?Although this woman's behavior is annoying enough.

"I'm sorry, my wife is a little ignorant." Nie Hongfang apologized to Kang Wenwen without a trace of apology in his tone.

"You have done so much for Nie Fei, can you see how much money we can give you?"

Kang Wenwen's eyelids twitched, he thought he was here to ask for money.

"How much is appropriate?" Kang Wenwen sneered, "Then how much do you think Nie Fei is worth?"

"You! Hongfang, look at me and say that he must have killed Nie Fei, and he did it for money!" Qian Xiaojie pointed at the tip of Kang Wenwen's nose with her bright red nails.

Kang Wenwen smiled and said, "I'm surprised. As Nie Fei's parents, you didn't come here to see Nie Fei. Instead, you came here to give me money?"

"You!" Qian Xiaojie's fingernails were about to poke Kang Wenwen's eyeballs.

"You what?" Kang Wenwen stretched out a finger and pushed Qian Xiaojie's away. "Don't show your fingernails. If you don't know, you may think that you are here to eat people."

Kang Wenwen: To be honest, this may be the first time I have cried in front of so many "people" since I can remember.
