After amnesia, monopolized by paranoia

Qi Rang, who recovered his memory, stood up in confusion, and walked out, faster and faster, trying to leave everything behind.

But he seems to be stuck in place, trying his best but still standing still, he needs to be faster, faster...

"Qi Rang!" Someone called him suddenly, his wrist tightened, and he was dragged backwards.

Suddenly, Qi Rang came back to his senses, only to realize that he ran to the top floor unknowingly. If someone hadn't stopped him, he might have jumped down.

The person who came to stop him was Jiang Shuixin.

It's strange, Qi Rang thought, why did Jiang Shuixin stop him?Isn't this the result Jiang Shuixin wanted to see?

"Two days ago, I heard that Lu Bei disappeared. At this point, the counselor suddenly notified the grade meeting. I knew what would happen soon." Jiang Shuixin explained.

Qi Rang didn't respond, he didn't care why Jiang Shuixin appeared here.

Jiang Shuixin continued: "Have you recovered your memory? Your eyes have changed."

He thought that after Qi Rang regained his memory, he should become the Qi Rang who innocently said to him, "I will accompany you to find meaningful things", but this is not the case. Now Qi Rang seems to have become He met a brand new person he didn't know, his eyes were tired, and the last bit of light disappeared.

Jiang Shuixin felt a slight but uninterrupted sting, he had felt this before, but he still would not admit that he did something wrong, nor would he regret it.

"You saved me once, and now I'll save you again. It's fair." Jiang Shuixin said to himself, "I'll do my best to help you whatever you want."

Qi Rang finally took a look at Jiang Shuixin, "Then I don't want to see anyone now, can I?"

"can."

Jiang Shuixin took off her wig and skirt, quickly put on makeup for Qi Rang, and told him that bus No. 433 took 12 stops at the school gate and got off at Xujiakou Station, where there are several direct buses to some small counties every day , No need for an ID card, just choose one, and find a public toilet to remove makeup and change clothes when you arrive, and then you can even go to a smaller town to ensure that no one can find him, including Jiang Shuixin himself.

He even handed over the bank card to Qi Rang, and told Qi Rang the password, asking Qi Rang to take it at will.

Qi Rang let Jiang Shuixin dress him up in a daze. In fact, he just wanted Jiang Shuixin to leave and let him stay alone for a while, but Jiang Shuixin obviously misunderstood his meaning.

He didn't choose to explain, nor did he stop him, just thinking aimlessly—it seemed like a good choice to hide for a while by mistake.

Now he can neither go back to face his classmates who are talking a lot, nor can he meet his parents who always say they are good to him but actually always put the company's interests first, let alone Qi Yuebai.

Qi Rang has already remembered everything that happened before he lost his memory.

He just woke up and was chained to the bed, and it wasn't some commercial enemy who did it, it was the brother he trusted with all his heart;

He was skinny and not sick, but was fed a drug called LSD.

LSD has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and "flashback" symptoms will occur after the drug is stopped, that is, Qi Rang occasionally sees the hallucination of the wall melting.

Taking this drug will make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise in a short period of time, and produce particularly beautiful hallucinations.

Falling and sinking in an extremely beautiful hallucination with his brother, Qi Rang can almost see the darkness of death at the end.

So, on an ordinary and normal sunny morning, Qi Rang put aside those painful and terrible pasts, threw himself into Qi Yuebai's arms after two years and affectionately called him brother.

Recalling that terrible memory, Qi Rang couldn't help but tremble all over, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Let's go, no one will recognize you." Jiang Shuixin said after putting on Qi Rang's makeup.

Qi Rang slowly came back to his senses, threw away the phone without hesitation, took the things Jiang Shuixin had prepared for him, turned around and left here.

He had no destination, so he took the bus to Xujiakou according to Jiang Shuixin's instructions, and several elderly people were waiting for the bus nearby.

After waiting for about half an hour, the first car finally swayed over. It was an old car that Qi Rang had never been in. The smell in the car was very strange, and most of them were old men and women. a child.

The final destination of this car is a place called Fushui County. After Qi Rang got off the car, he went to the bathroom to take off his skirt, changed into men's clothes and got on a car at the intersection to Tai'an Township.

Fushui County is no longer a prosperous place, and Taian Township is even more desolate. The whole street looks like it is only a hundred meters long. There are some two or three-story buildings standing on both sides of the street. Each storefront has an average of one or two people. Other than that, hardly anyone else is seen anymore.

Qi Rang felt a little thirsty and wanted to buy a bottle of water. He went to a supermarket that seemed to be fairly large, but saw that everything on the shelves was covered with dust. He lost the desire to buy and pushed out of the supermarket.

He wandered slowly from the street to the end of the street, and had to accept his fate. There was indeed no hotel here, not even a hotel in sight.

What do you mean by adding misery to misery and making misery worse!

Qi Rang squatted on the side of the road dejectedly, tears welling up in his eyes belatedly.

How could that forgotten memory be like this?His elder brother... is obviously such a perfect person...

"Are you looking for a place to stay?"

When Qi Rang was in a daze, a child suddenly came over and asked.

Qi Rang hurriedly wiped away his tears and asked, "Is there a hotel near here?"

The child looked about seven or eight years old. He was wearing an ill-fitting long-sleeved T-shirt, with his entire wrist exposed, but his body was well-groomed. The deep eyebrows and eyes that did not match his age made it easy for people to overlook his clothes. embarrassment.

"There are no hotels. There are no hotels in Tai'an, but my home is a farmhouse, and the conditions may be so good. If you want, you can go back with me."

"I am willing!" Qi Rang quickly replied. After all, the locals have said that there are no hotels anymore. If he refuses to agree, he will have to sleep on the street.

"Don't you ask about the accommodation fee?"

"Oh, how much is the accommodation?"

"Deposit 300, 60 per day, including three meals a day and accommodation, daily payment."

The price was so cheap that Qi Rang was stunned. He hesitated to speak and glanced at the child: "What's your name? Is there anyone else in the family? Does your family agree to your soliciting customers?"

Qi Rang reasonably suspected that this kid wanted to steal Chen Cang and take him home without his parents' consent in order to earn some pocket money.

"My name is Li Xiang. It's cheap because the prices here are so low, and my family's situation is not good. Sixty is enough. I can guarantee that no one will object to you living in my house. You should consider whether you want to go. .”

Li Xiang is young, but his words are decisive and sharp.

Qi Rang couldn't help treating him as an adult, and said, "Okay then, I'll go to your house, can I give you the deposit now?"

"Let's go back first, the money is not in vain."

"oh oh."

Qi Rang was somewhat lost in thought. Are all the children so precocious nowadays?He thought that seven or eight-year-old children must be full of eating, drinking and having fun and have no bad intentions.

Thinking of this, Qi Rang suddenly paused.

What about brother?What was it like to be nine years old?Mom so firmly accused her brother of pushing her down the stairs...

No, there's nothing suspicious about this matter. Fourth Master Qin has already explained to him what happened back then. A person like Fourth Master Qin would not deliberately fabricate lies to deceive him.

Qi Rang withdrew his thoughts and followed Li Xiang to leave Tai'an Street. He originally thought that Li Xiang could walk down a road that a child could walk down.

"How far is your home?" Qi Rang finally couldn't help asking.

Li Xiang took a serious look around and replied, "It's two-thirds of the way already."

"Two-thirds!" Qi Rang had already started to play tricks if he wasn't a child in front of him. He tapped his sore calf and asked with trembling voice: "Is there no car for such a long journey?"

"Only motorcycles."

"Then why don't we take the car?"

Li Xiang gave a serious look: "Going back from the street, it costs ten yuan to take a motorcycle, which is very expensive."

"...I'll pay, but I don't want you to pay."

"This road is not very far. Everyone walked back. I thought... I didn't think carefully. I will tell you in advance next time."

Qi Rang: "..." OK, it's all because he is too good.

After finally returning to Li Xiang's house, it was already four or ten minutes later. Qi Rang looked at the dangerous building in front of him that seemed to be falling down at any moment, and fell silent.

"...Is this the farmhouse music you're talking about?"

Li Xiang is not guilty at all: "A house with mud walls and tiles, isn't it a farm house?"

"The farm has it, what about the fun? Where is the fun?"

"I'll cook for you, won't you be happy?"

Qi Rang: "..."

Facts have proved that not all seven or eight-year-old children are as silly and fun as Qi Rang who only knows how to flutter butterflies.

Li Xiang's kitchen is even an earthen stove for burning firewood, but Li Xiang is handy with this thing. He easily used a handful of dry firewood to start a fire, fried a beautiful egg, and used the remaining froth to make two. A bowl of light white water noodles.

The bowls are two flat-bottomed iron basins of different sizes, and there are traces of impact depressions on the bottom. The white noodles with clear soup and little water are really indescribably bleak.

But Qi Rang couldn't say anything about "not feeling happy", after all, the only fried egg fell into his bowl.

Qi Rang took a small iron basin and looked at this desolate and barren home. When he turned his head, Li Xiang had already swallowed the white water surface, and the protruding wrist bones seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the surface. shock.

He pursed his lips, and gave Li Xiang the egg in the bowl: "Eat it, I don't like eggs."

Li Xiang paused, and said: "You don't have to feel embarrassed, you paid for it, if you don't eat, I don't feel comfortable taking 60 yuan."

"I'm not embarrassed. I just don't like eggs. If I tell you to eat them, you can eat them."

Li Xiang didn't delay any longer, divided the egg into several pieces, and ate them all with the noodles. He ate very seriously, and there was even a little bit of sweat on his forehead.

Qi Rang felt inexplicably distressed when he saw it, and he put away the idea of ​​living in another place tomorrow, and lowered his head to eat the noodles in the bowl silently.

I have to say that Li Xiang still has two brushes for making noodles. Although the taste is light, the softness and hardness of the noodles are just right, with a slight chewiness. Entrance.

This finally has the meaning of "joy" in the farmhouse.

After eating, he heard Li Xiang say that he should take a basin of hot water outside to take a bath, Qi Rang decisively let go of this idea and decided to go straight to sleep.

Li Xiang took Qi Rang to the back room, dug out a brand new set of cups from the cabinet, and put them on. The movements were quite skillful, and he didn't need Qi Rang's help at all.

"You can sleep here tonight."

Qi Rang wrinkled his nose and took a breath, "Why do I feel that there is a strange smell."

"It's moth balls, put it in the cabinet to keep out insects, the quilt cover may have a little smell."

Qi Rang: "...there are insects in this room?!"

"It's almost winter, so there shouldn't be any more."

Qi Rang endured the goosebumps all over his body and touched the quilt. His hands were covered with cold moisture, and he almost didn't put on the pain mask.

"It's too damp."

"Just let it dry out tomorrow, let's just let it go today."

Well, although these things are difficult, Qi Rang can bear it anyway, but Qi Rang really couldn't hold back when he saw the bathroom.

That bathroom can't be called a bathroom at all, it's just a small cubicle dug a hole, the smell is second to none, the most frightening thing is that all kinds of fermented excrement is only an arm's length away from the ground, Qi Rang is afraid that if he is not careful will step into the pit.

Qi Rang turned his head and met Li Ran's eyes, with death rather than surrender written all over his face.

Li Ran was helpless: "Forget it, let's borrow the bathroom next door."

"Let's go, let's go."

Qi Rang couldn't hold it anymore!

The next door that Li wanted to talk about was actually a full 10 minutes away. Qi Rang relied on his strong willpower and the shame that he refused to solve it on the spot.

The house next door is not a house with earthen walls and tiles, but a beautiful three-story small concrete building. In fact, most of the buildings Qi Rang saw on the way back were self-built buildings of this kind, so he just met Li Xiang. I was so surprised when I was at home.

A middle-aged woman was choosing vegetables in the yard. Li Xiang walked over and said, "Aunt Bao, can I use your toilet for you?"

"No borrowing, go away!"

Aunt Bao's attitude towards Li Xiang was quite bad, and Qi Rang almost couldn't hold back in fright with her loud voice.

Li Xiang took it for granted, so he took out two yuan and handed it to her: "Aunt Bao, I won't go in. It's my cousin. He came back from the city to visit me. He's not used to the toilet at home, so I'd like to trouble you." good."

"From the city? Why didn't I hear that you have a cousin?" Aunt Bao glanced at Qi Rang, and stopped her careless selection of dishes. "This is your cousin? He looks really good-looking."

Qi Rang laughed dryly: "I dare not do it."

"Aunt Bao, everyone in the village knows that you are always warm-hearted, so please do me this favor." Li Xiang said, and gave Aunt Bao two yuan.

"The bathroom is on the second floor, go up to the first door," Aunt Bao held the money that Li Xiang handed over, and said loudly, "I just borrowed the bathroom, what else do I need to pay?"

"Yes, I always trouble you, I'm sorry."

"Hey, you kid, you just love to calculate everything too clearly..."

Qi Rang was not in the mood to listen to what they had to say, and walked quickly to the bathroom after getting their consent.

Aunt Bao put away the money, rolled her eyes, said "You wait here, don't go in, you know?" and followed her upstairs.

In fact, the bathroom here is not much better, the water tank is broken, and there is still a strange smell, but compared to Li Xiangjia's soil toilet, Qi Rang is still grateful and took off his pants.

"Hey, cousin, are you still used to using the toilet here?"

Qi Rang was so startled by the sudden voice that he almost refluxed his urine.

Aunt Bao continued: "Hey, I've been to the city before, and the toilet is really well repaired, it smells good when you go in, and there's hand sanitizer and an air dryer where you wash your hands. Get used to it?"

Qi Rang put on his pants tremblingly, and replied awkwardly, "I'm not used to it..."

Especially not used to how someone would chat with him when he was going to the bathroom!

"Oh, so are you going back in a while?"

"It's still uncertain."

"Why did you suddenly come to a place like the countryside outside? I've never heard of Li Xiang and he has a cousin before."

"I didn't come and go much before..." Qi Rang walked out of the bathroom after washing his hands, and walked downstairs while laughing awkwardly. He was not even afraid of the earthen toilet, and just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Hey, are you going to pick Li Xiang up this time?"

"This...let's talk about it later."

"What's the matter? Auntie mainly sees that you don't come back often, so she probably doesn't know about it. Let's take advantage of this moment and talk to you a few words."

"You have to think carefully about taking Li Xiang back. Li Xiang is so fucking evil. Two years ago, he took a knife and killed all five people including her own family. Maybe there is something wrong with him. What's the problem?"

"Why the hell would you...?"

"If you're so curious, why not ask me directly."

Li Xiang didn't know when he came over, staring blankly at the two people at the stairs.

Aunt Bao was stunned for a moment, and immediately yelled: "Who are you staring at? Did I say something wrong? Your mother is crazy, and that's four lives. After living together for so long, she killed as soon as she said. I am I can't bear to see you cheating people, I just want to tell him about you!"

Li Xiang ignored her and looked straight at Qi Rang: "Do you want to go back with me?"

"If you want me to tell you, don't go back. Who can live in his house! You can live with Aunt Bao for the time being, and it's guaranteed to be a hundred times better than Li Xiang." Aunt Bao looked at Qi Rang not to be outdone.

If this happened two hours ago, Qi Rang would have chosen to stay without hesitation, but now he is always a little worried about Li Xiang.

Li Xiang can't be blamed for his parents' affairs, no wonder his body clothes don't fit well and he's so skinny.

Qi Rang took a few steps outside, "Li Xiang, let's go back."

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and rarely showed a boyish expression of astonishment.

"What are you still doing?"

"Huh? Oh, I thought..."

She thought he was so delicate that he would definitely choose to stay with Aunt Bao.

Aunt Bao spat hard from behind: "Hey, the dog bit Lu Dongbin, you don't know the heart of a good person, and you hang out with the son of a murderer. Sooner or later, you will regret it!"

"I thought you would stay here..." Li Xiangcai whispered after walking a long way.

Qi Rang said logically: "I gave you the 300 yuan deposit, of course I want to go back with you."

"Are you so nice to everyone? You know I lied to you."

"What did you lie to me about?"

"My house is not a farmhouse at all. I asked you for a deposit on purpose."

"Make money, don't be foolish."

Li Xiang paused, and said again: "I want to save money to continue studying."

Only by studying can there be a way out, and he will not rot here forever.

Qi Rang was surprised that Li Xiang would have such a vision at such a young age and having grown up in the countryside.

He wanted to be rich and generous to support Li Xiang to study, but then he thought that his future was uncertain now, so it was hard to say such a big cake, so he said: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. You are very smart, and you will definitely get what you want. of."

At night, accompanied by the smell of mothballs, Qi Rang tossed and turned until midnight before barely falling asleep. In the middle of the night, a thin figure smeared into his room.

Li Xiang stood by the bed and looked at it for a while. In fact, because the roof tiles were sealed and there were no windows in this room, he couldn't see Qi Rang's face at all, but he could completely imagine that even if Qi Rang Sleeping in such a dark place, the face must be soft and holy.

He was too good to be out of place in this world.

Li Xiang stood for a long time before he lifted the bed curtain and took out all the things Qi Rang was carrying with him.

He went outside and looked at what he found from Qi Rang by the moonlight. Apart from a few chocolates and hundreds of dollars in cash, Qi Rang only had a bank card and a campus card.

It turned out that his name was Qi Rang, and he was a student of the Oil Painting Department of C University Academy of Fine Arts.

Seeing the words Academy of Fine Arts, Li Xiang was stunned for a while, and finally returned the things to Qi Rang intact, leaving only a piece of chocolate.

The author has something to say: Haha, a sudden update!
