Observation mirror
In Chapter 1, Pei Zhen invited three brothers to meet in the lounge. (3)
"We may be in the wrong direction. The focus of our search is where He Zhao wants to go and where he will go, but what if he is forcibly taken away because of his unwillingness?"
Huo Xuan lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, and let out an impatient "hum".
"Fourth, you must be sick! What can happen to the blind man, if Li Ran waits on him, I'm afraid his life can't be more chic."
"Li Ran is insane and is currently locked up in a Swiss mental institution."
Huo Xuan's face changed suddenly, he sat up slowly, and clenched his five fingers on his knees into fists, "Have you asked that guy? How did you say it?"
Pei Zhen lowered his head, turning the pen mechanically in his hand, "Something may have happened to He Zhao."
The lounge suddenly seemed cramped, and there was only the sound of steaming water in the water dispenser.
Tan Sui pretended to have a distorted smile on his face, patted his thigh and stood up
"Then what, let's go, find someone first, he is definitely fine, and is trying his best to hide from us! When I find him out, I have to beat him up!"
After the voices died down, only Pei Zhen was left facing the golden side sprinkled by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Pei Zhen leaned on the armrest of the sofa, stood up, and walked into my office.
He hugged the photo frame I left behind, sat on the leather swivel chair, turned around, and gently tapped my face in the photo with his index finger
"Little He Zhao, are you satisfied? Everyone is looking for you all over the world."
The four of them seemed to be crazy. As long as they received news that there were unknown corpses, crimes committed by foreigners, and illegal smuggling, they would put aside all work and go to check in person.
When we went there, the atmosphere in the car was subdued to freezing point, no one said a word, each stared out of the car window in a daze, and on the return trip, harsh heavy metal rock music was always playing in the car, and the atmosphere was so hot that everyone would exaggerate because of an old joke laughed heartily.
I know they're running back and forth to confirm my death, they've cursed me for so long, they've finally seen the light.
They stood on the viaduct, like frozen sculptures, wrapped in black overcoats, their fingers on the bridge railings were blown purple by the strong river wind, the river below was rushing, the sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds weighed heavily on them. Very low, it is a good weather to tear the wound and release the pain.
But I am the only one who knows that they are going to work in vain again. I really want to give them a dream and tell them that I was in a car accident, was knocked into the air, and was probably thrown into the wilderness long ago. Leave me alone and let me be quiet. Buried in the soil.
The roar of the engine and the sighs of the onlookers were all around.
The police are salvaging the corpse at the dumping site identified by the dismemberment killer.
According to the perpetrator's statement, the deceased was a male in his 30s, fair-skinned, thin and thin. He was gay. He had several appointments with the murderer through mobile phone software. After going back and forth, the murderer had the idea of further getting along and developing a relationship. The deceased communicated, but was ridiculed and resolutely refused by the other party. In a fit of anger, he was killed. After the body was dismembered, at around two o'clock in the evening, the body was wrapped tightly in a woven bag, tied to a concrete pier and thrown from the viaduct. in the river.
Such an analysis in detail is indeed surprisingly consistent with me.It made me suspect that I was insane. I was not hit by a car but was raped and then killed by a friend with guns, and my body and head were chopped off.
Looking at the worried looks of the four of them, I couldn't laugh or cry.
I don't understand, in their eyes, why I am so dirty and dissolute, as if I don't even deserve to die with glory.
Four hours later, a bulging black woven bag was salvaged, dripping water and being heavily entangled by aquatic plants.
When the woven bag was opened, all the team members standing around covered their mouths and noses, bowed their bodies and backed away, and the female forensic doctor closest to her put her hands on the ground and vomited crazily.
When Pei Zhen was signaled that he could claim the corpse, he walked over in two steps, squatted down, carefully inspected the pile of blistered, swollen, white, mud-stained, and somewhat rotten stumps, stood up, and shook his head.
Before taking two steps back, Pei Zhen knelt down and lay on the ground, retching unceasingly.
Huo Xuan quickly ran over and helped him into the car.
On the way back, loud music played from BOSE's top car stereo. Huo Xuan, who was driving the car, took his hands off the steering wheel and waved his jacket while the others were staggering and shaking their heads. They were obviously sober, but they had to pretend to be drunk look.
The car parked in the "Chixi" underground garage, and when the stereo was turned off, it fell into dead silence.
Tan Sui slumped on the cushion, looked at Pei Zhen's half-closed eyes and asked cautiously, "Are you sure that's not him?"
Pei Zhen slowly stretched out her hand, staring at the ring on her ring finger
"There is a small mole about two centimeters up from his jaw, and there is a wound on his ankle that was pierced by steel bars. His skin is very thin, and he has little flesh on his body, but his joints are very thick, just like a skeleton..."
He choked up a bit, raised his hand and pressed the ring to his lips, "We have been together for 15 years, how can we admit our mistakes."
☆、Chapter 14
The four brothers met for dinner at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Yunsheng Building at night. Through the sightseeing windows in the circular restaurant, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire brightly lit city. The floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, and the iron flower stands are crowded with The gorgeous blue enchantress, the violin music is soothing and melodious.
A few hours ago, I was still retching at the rotting corpse, but now I am in the mood to eat a gluttonous meal in a luxurious restaurant. I have to take a closer look at Pei Zhen. His heart is indeed harder than steel and invulnerable.
Pei Zhen didn't sit down directly, but went to borrow the kitchen of the restaurant.
The other three didn't seem to care about those delicacies, they just kept drinking strong vodka.
Pei Zhen didn't come out until the stars were all polished.
He was pushing the tiramisu cake he made himself, covered with chocolate powder, lit with little cherries, and a crooked 36 was drawn on the surface with jam.
It turned out to be for my birthday, but I didn't live to be 36 years old. He promised me that I would not be able to eat the cake after all.
Pei Zhen's ideas are always so wild and unconstrained that I can't figure it out.
The dim candlelight was flickering, and the light and shadow flickered on Pei Zhen's face. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his eyes were crescent-shaped.
There was an empty seat beside Pei Zhen, and he put his hands on the back of the chair next to him, always turning his body to that side, as if I was actually sitting on the chair.
He habitually unfolded the napkin on the side, leaned over to spread it, and saw that the chair was empty, he put it back again, and patiently folded it neatly.
He shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the knife and fork, looked around and found that the other three were staring at him gloomyly, he cut the steak generously without stopping
"Eat it, don't wait for him, he will have to punish himself with a drink when he arrives later, and we can't get used to him anymore!"
The sound of the violin was filtered out on the dining table, leaving only the sound of chewing.
"Excuse me, sir. This is the guest who left just now and told me to hand it over to you." A foreign waiter with a high nose and deep eyes bowed and handed an embossed jewelry box to Pei Zhen.
"It's He Zhao!"
Pei Zhen clutched the jewelry box tightly and chased after him. He took another elevator down to the first floor and looked around. There were ladies and gentry walking in twos and threes in the brightly lit hall, but he didn't see me. He grabbed the revolving glass door and rushed out again. , and in the vast night, there are only endless traffic and flashing neon lights.
Pei Zhen sat dejectedly on the marble steps on the ground floor of Yunsheng Building, with her elbows on her knees, her head buried deeply, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Huo Xuan and the others just rushed down and squatted down beside Pei Zhen to form a circle.
Huo Xuan pressed Pei Zhen's forehead and held Pei Zhen's face, his eyes were full of concern and worry
"Brother, cheer up! Let's see what the little blind man left for you."
Pei Zhen hurriedly opened the jewelry box, the lid popped open, and the platinum ring lay quietly on the black velvet cushion.
Pei Zhen smiled with tears, and nodded ecstatically, "It's him! It's him! At least it means that he's still fine! He just doesn't bother to see me."
Pei Zhen stretched out his finger to pick up the ring, and a corner of the fleece cushion was raised, revealing a note tucked underneath.
is a cemetery address.
Pei Zhen clutched his chest and fell down on his back.
Huo Xuan pressed Pei Zhen's shoulder, fished his head onto his lap, pinched the man and the tiger's mouth, and comforted him, "Didn't this ring be thrown away by the blind man? It must be which turtle Sun picked it up and fooled him." your!"
After Pei Zhen woke up, he forced himself to sit up, his lips were white and purple, he put the ring tremblingly into the inner pocket of his chest, and murmured in a low voice, "It's nothing, we will see you later."
Tan Sui, who had been staying silent all this time, suddenly rushed forward and punched Pei Zhen's temple with wind in his arm, without mercy.
Huo Xuan jumped up suddenly, raised his foot and kicked Tan Sui's knee, kicking him to kneel on the steps. "You, mother, can you not make things worse!"
Tan Sui ignored him, and looked directly at Pei Zhen, "Don't be scary at every turn, and you can conclude that it is him in the tomb based on a ring? He was obviously fine when he left!"
Pei Zhen's tears fell on his sleeves drop by drop, his eyes and nose were red, and he couldn't stop sobbing while speaking
"After the ring was thrown away by him...I picked it up. I...embedded it...into the silver necklace that Li Ran gave him, because I watched him...seeing that he always wears it with him, I, I am very painful.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, that lunatic will not let him... take off the necklace."
I don't understand, seeing Pei Zhen like this seems to be really heartbroken, then why he refused to treat me better when I was alive.
The drizzle is like weaving, but there is a faint sunlight passing through the vast fog and shining on the hood of the car. There are echoes in the valley and birds hovering on the lake. The town of Mirren is as quiet and empty as Pei Zhen's last visit. .
The Humvee convoy steamed towards the spruce-covered hills.
My tomb is on the backside of the mountain, facing the window of the burning ward, as if he knew that he would go crazy and be locked in that transparent room.
The mountain path is rugged, and all the people on the road are dressed in black, holding big black umbrellas, and holding white chrysanthemums. Only Pei Zhen is holding a bunch of Phalaenopsis.
I am ashamed, that group of people, Pei Zhen, Huo Xuan, Mo Xiaobai...all of them hate me to the bone, and now they are all dead, and they have to be wronged to come to see me.
But the sky is high and the earth is far away, from now on it might not come once in ten years.
On the white marble tombstone, my black and white photo is a serious and indifferent side face, with a white shirt buttoned to the first button of the neckline, thick black shadows under the eyelashes, and a blurry background.
I didn't have a photo with Li Ran, and I don't like to take pictures myself. The photo should be the only one that Li Ran managed to take secretly. Every time he raised his camera, I would panic and dodge, frowning, to show his face.
I suddenly regretted that I didn't smile more in front of him, so at least I would not be so vicious and decisive, and it seemed that I deserved to die.
The world is really unpredictable. I was disgusted and burned for the rest of my life, but after I died, I had to trouble him to collect the corpse.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find that Song Yi had arrived early.
The plaster plaster on Song Yi's leg hadn't been removed yet, and he was leaning back in a wheelchair, trapped in the rain and mist, his eyelids were red, his eyelashes were wet from the rain, and his hair stuck to his pale cheeks. His whole body seemed to be frozen and shivered.
Pei Zhen raised his hand to prevent other people from passing by, and a group of people just stood aside and watched coldly.
Song Yi reached into his coat pocket, took out a small bottle of stomach medicine, and gently placed it on my tombstone, a tear slowly slid down his thin cheek.
"You definitely don't remember. I once saw you vomited and the sink was full of blood. From then on, every time I saw you, I would prepare medicine on my body. I was very happy. I didn't use it once, and I will use it again in the future." It's useless."
Song Yi raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, relaxed his shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief with his head raised, stretched out his hand to slide the rim of the wheelchair and was about to leave. He just turned a slight angle, but turned around in a panic, and looked at him with tears in his eyes. My photo shouted "I didn't set the trap to let you die! I wanted you to beg me! Why don't you come? Coward!"
Huo Xuan couldn't stand it any longer, threw Baiju into Mo Xiaobai's arms, and rushed up, "It turns out that you are behind the scenes!"
He was about to kick Song Yi's wheelchair, but was pushed aside by Song Yi's bodyguards behind him. Huo Xuan was dragged away, still talking dishonestly, yelling loudly.
Song Yi glanced at Pei Zhen who was standing under the spruce, and pointed a middle finger very rudely. His wet eyes were full of resentment and hatred. The bodyguard stepped forward to put Song Yi on an oxygen mask, and he obediently put his hands back and lay on the wheelchair On the backrest, it seemed that all the strength had been taken away, and the bodyguard pushed him back.
Song Yi's shadow was scattered in the smoke, and Pei Zhen's feet seemed to be filled with lead. He just stood far away and didn't come forward, as if he was afraid that my bad luck would dirty his noble body.
After Huo Xuan was freed from the oppression of Song Yi's group of bodyguards, he grabbed Bai Ju back from Mo Xiaobai's arms and strode to my grave.
After putting down the flowers, he put one hand on my stele and half-kneeled down, just like how he put my shoulders when we squatted together before when there was no gap between us.
He tapped my forehead in the photo with his other hand, "Little blind man, I thought we could leave you alone, wait for ten or eight years, and forgive you after we have tormented you enough, but I didn't expect...you You little bastard, you left so early. It was like yesterday when I was grabbing food with you, but you are gone..."
Huo Xuan raised his arm and rubbed his eyes, then turned his head and shouted at Pei Zhen, "Fourth, why don't you come and see?"
Pei Zhen handed the Phalaenopsis in his hand to Mo Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you don't have to be afraid of him, just send it there for me."
Mo Xiaobai drooped his head, his eyelashes fluttered nervously, bit his lower lip with his fine white teeth, and walked over in small steps.
Huo Xuan stood up and stepped aside, Mo Xiaobai placed the bouquet of phalaenopsis squarely in front of my tombstone, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, don't... don't be self-willed, there is no one to protect you down there." you."
I suddenly recalled that on last year’s disastrous birthday, Pei Zhen pushed him in front of me and asked him to give me hyacinths. No matter how angry he was, it would be the last time. I would not believe that Mo Xiaobai would travel thousands of miles from now on. Come to visit my grave, we are old enemies, life and death are incompatible.
After Mo Xiaobai delivered the flowers, he quickly ran behind Pei Zhen, hugged his forearm, and looked at him with bright eyes.
In fact, I don't care much about people's compliments or slanders, I just want to hear what Pei Zhen said, but Pei Zhen just stood aside and watched the white chrysanthemums piled up in front of my grave, letting Mo Xiaobai pull his sleeves , the expression on his face was stiff, yet my secretary looked sad.
When everyone was addicted to the show and was about to leave, Huo Xuan patted Pei Zhen on the back and advised him again, "Anyway, go over and talk, everyone is..., what knot can't be untied?"
Pei Zhen simply turned around and left, the black umbrella that was thrown down was circling on the wet grass.
Tan Sui firmly grasped Pei Zhen's wrist, "Fourth brother, he's already dead, how do you want him to make amends? Why are you so hard-hearted?"
Pei Zhen paused, took a deep breath, turned his head, and pointed to the towering white building opposite, "Did you see that there is a room for Guan Li Ran by that window, as long as Li Ran remains crazy, they will face each other day and night I'm afraid that if I walk over, I won't be able to resist digging out his ashes and bringing them back!"
Pei Zhen shook off Tan Sui's hand and left without looking back. His long and slender figure shrunk into ink dots and slowly disappeared in the thicker and heavier fog.
After Pei Zhen returned to China, he still acted swiftly and resolutely, working continuously, like a precise and efficient machine, without weakness or emotion.
Even at a dinner party, when I was asked about me by a colleague, he held his wine glass calmly, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "He passed away a month ago, it seems that the logo of "Chixi" will also have to be changed in the future, and the five-petal crabapple flower Become a four-leaf clover." A few ridicules elicited roars of laughter.
Under his many efforts, "Xunshan Mansion" successfully opened the pre-sale, and the "Chixi" business card added a magnificent touch.I read it correctly 15 years ago, he is the darling of God, omnipotent, but his luck has not been passed on to me.
At the completion ceremony of "Xunshan Mansion", banners, flower baskets and hydrogen balloons made the scene lively and lively.
When the host announced that the chief designer would speak next, I didn't expect that I would feel at ease in my heart. This position is mine. It doesn't matter who snatches it away, even if it is given to Mo Xiaobai, Pei Zhen has already convinced me that the nature of human nature is cold.All earthly honors and disgraces are of no concern to me. "
Unexpectedly, it was Pei Zhen who finally took over the microphone. Pei Zhen is the leader of "Chixi". As soon as he appeared, the staff and guests on the scene were all excited, and there was enthusiastic applause immediately.
He blocked the harsh noon sun with the back of his hand, looking at Yiyuan Mountain with towering trees beyond the square.
"Unfortunately, our chief designer was not able to be present, but the design concept should not be reflected in words or advertisements, but should be poured into the real feelings of the residents. I hope that every household that settles here in the future will be reunited Yuan, safe and sound, and what surprise the chief designer has hidden for us, we will wait and see."
When the big screen showed the "Xunshan Mansion" a series of processes such as bidding for land, laying foundations and starting construction, Pei Zhen kept standing in the corner and watched. Occasionally, I appeared, and he raised his camera to take pictures, as if he was in the university before. Just like before, I was timid and afraid of showing my face. I wanted to change myself, so I plucked up the courage and went to the music festival to sing. As soon as I opened my mouth, the audience burst into laughter. Only he listened attentively behind the camera. He always said He is a junk picker himself, and he also thinks it is good if others don't want it.
After the ceremony, Pei Zhen took off his shirt and suit for the first time, and put on a sweater and jeans, looking like the sunny boy back then.
He went back to the old house, with heavy mahogany furniture, quaint wrought iron chandeliers, and golden carvings on the thick pillars. I have been here several times in the past five years, and I was scolded every time.
Pei Zhen's father, who had a straight face, was old and still domineering, and he hadn't given Pei Zhen good face for so many years. He was most annoyed that his outstanding son finally fell in love with a timid bastard.
I think it's because I'm getting older, and I haven't seen my son for a long time. My heart softened, and I wanted to ease the relationship. I couldn't find anything to say for a while, so I asked me casually.
"Ah Zhen, why don't you take Xiao He with you this time? Divided?"
Pei Zhen picked up a chopstick dish for his father, and after chewing it all, he replied slowly, "I'm dead, from now on I will only accompany you."
Pei Zhen's father was taken aback for a moment, and he recovered himself. Seeing that Pei Zhen's face was normal, he might still feel uneasy, so he opened his mouth to test
"If it doesn't work, just find another one."
☆、Chapter 15
Pei Zhen took a sip of his wine with a smile, and went back to his father, "Should I find another one? All right, anyway, any one will be more worry-free than him."
His father nodded in satisfaction, and this page was opened.
Then the two father and son began to talk about their daily routines, and Pei Zhen took care of the old man's physical condition by the way.
In the middle of the moon, Pei Zhen sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, the silvery white light of the open-air swimming pool passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and reflected on his face, the flickering light and shadow made his chiseled face look like a crown jade.
After Pei Zhen came back to his senses, he opened the drawer and found a crystal ball from inside.
Mercury dissociates in the transparent glass, aggregates discretely, and is crystal clear, like holding a handful of moonlight.
The crystal ball was a gift I gave him more than ten years ago. I didn't forget it. What a surprise, he didn't forget it either.
I was guarding the flower shop that day, and there was a sudden downpour of rain from the sky, and there was still a row of Clivia in the yard that was not brought into the house.
I pressed grandma on the bamboo chair, took off my coat and rushed into the rain.
Suddenly a person jumped down from an Equus parked across the street, rushed over quickly, and began to help me carry flowers without saying a word.
The thin T-shirt was wet and stuck to his thin back, the tips of his hair and chin were dripping, but his slender arms were strong and powerful.
After moving, both of us were soaked, I forced him to take a shower first, and put on my dry clothes.
After wiping his hair and coming out of the bathroom, he sat under the rose trellis and teased my big white cat. Grandma held the soles of her shoes and talked to him softly.
The sun came out, and the golden sunlight cast on their shoulders, casting two long shadows slantingly on the concrete floor.
That scene was silent, it was a warm dream, and it settled into an old film in my heart.
Seeing me coming out, he put the cat off his lap inexplicably, got up and walked out the door.
"Pei Zhen, are you... just leaving?"
I threw down the towel and rushed into the room, holding the crystal ball I had prepared for a long time, and chased after it.
The steps of the old house are covered with moss, and after the heavy rain, there are golden dewdrops, which are slippery.
When Pei Zhen heard me call him, he slipped and fell face down without paying attention, splashing water everywhere.
After he got up in a panic, I found that his jaw was bruised, I stuffed the crystal ball into his arms, and pulled him into the room, but his face was flushed and he kept yelling "No !no no……"
I was like a bamboo pole, and I couldn't do anything to him, so I had to watch him walk out with a cat face.
He hugged the crystal ball tightly like he was picking up a treasure, turned around and grinned at me stupidly, then stepped on the last step and fell into a big lotus vat in the yard.The two little tortoises raised in the tank were directly blown out, and they rolled over while pressing on the shells of the turtles.
My grandma and I worked together to pull him out of the lotus tank. After he came out, his head was covered with Houttuynia cordata, and he flicked the water in his ears dumbly...
More than ten years have passed in a flash. It is really hard to believe that the youthful and restrained boy who loved to play handsome and cool at the beginning will become a flirtatious and sophisticated businessman who is full of interests.
Pei Zhen put the base of the crystal ball on the sharp corner of the bedside table and slammed it violently. Within two hits, the base bounced off and broke into two halves.
He mixed the mercury-wrapped liquid in the crystal ball into the water glass, and shook it gently, his facial expression was almost bewildered, the corner of his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were full of grief.
He took a medicine bottle out of his purse and sprinkled the handful of pills into the cup.
Examine the cup obsessively against the moonlight, the pills and mercury sinking and floating in the transparent liquid, and the brilliance flowing looks a bit intoxicating.
I guessed what he was going to do, and suddenly my heart softened.
I can be free after his death, but at this moment, I can't bear it very much. After all, I am not him. Although I am already a dead person, I have not lost my humanity.Cats and dogs have been raised for 15 years. Even if they are naughty and greedy, they will feel unbearable if they suddenly disappear, let alone a living person.
I think I can still wait until he dies, instead of committing suicide in such a wimpy and sneaky way.
Pei Zhen raised his head and swallowed the cup of highly poisonous mixture.
He lay flat on the big bed quietly, closed his eyes but couldn't stop crying.
I can't believe that everything between us ended so abruptly. He didn't repent, and I didn't forgive. Obviously, the relationship is still entangled, but the future is already clear.
Pei Zhen was lying on the bed, her eyelashes were trembling constantly, her fingers were tightly twisting the sheets, her knuckles were white, and there was dense sweat on her forehead.The sleeping pills he took hadn't taken effect yet, but the mercury he'd swallowed had.
I wanted to reach out and grab him, to call for help, but there was nothing I could do.
When I was in a hurry, there was a light knock on the door.
Pei Zhen's mother stood at the door, wearing silk pajamas, with curly hair loose, and a worried face
"Azhen, are you asleep? Mom wants to talk to you."
Pei Zhen opened his eyes, bloodshot in his eyes, distracted, his lips opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't make a sound.
Pei Zhen's mother gathered the blanket on her back, stood at the door, hesitated, and turned on the soft wall lamp.
She walked over and sat beside Pei Zhen's bed, "Ah Zhen, I know you haven't fallen asleep. You have kept everything in your heart since you were a child, and you have to bear it alone. In fact, the first time you brought Xiao He back, I saw it." You got stuck, and now that he is gone, you feel uncomfortable, you can lose your temper and make trouble like you did when you were a child, don't hold it in your heart."
Pei Zhen trembled uncontrollably, and a few sobs leaked from his mouth.
Pei Zhen's mother probably thought that he was just feeling sad and couldn't help sobbing, so she hugged Pei Zhen's upper body into her arms, lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead in distress.
Pei Zhen's profuse sweating and uncontrollable trembling finally aroused her vigilance. She patted Pei Zhen's sweaty face and whispered his baby names in his ear. Pei Zhen just looked up at the ceiling, panting anxiously. Gas, no response.
Pei Zhen's mother immediately hugged his shoulders tightly and cried out sharply. In the middle of the night, when the old house was brightly lit, Pei's family sent a car as quickly as possible to take Pei Zhen to the nearest city hospital for emergency treatment.
In the fast-moving car, his old father was holding an ebony cane in one hand and stroking Pei Zhen's hair with the other. His back was slightly bent, his temples were graying, and he dissipated the anger of galloping in the business world. He instantly aged several years.
Pei Zhen was in the emergency room. After four hours of continuous rescue, his life was temporarily saved. However, due to ingestion of a large amount of mercury, he was poisoned by heavy metals, causing permanent damage to the nervous system, organ failure, and even necrosis in some cases. Transferred to the intensive care unit.
The medical equipment was placed around the hospital bed, running tick-tock, and the indicator lights flickered, as if they were constantly urging their lives.
Pei Zhen was lying on the bed with a handsome face. After the operation, his hair was shaved and his facial features were even more erect, but his complexion turned sickly pale.
The throat was cut open and a tracheal tube was inserted. Electromagnetic patches were attached to the body, and various lead wires were connected.
He may wake up, but he can no longer hold meetings or laugh sanely.The best situation is to lie motionless on the bed, unable to breathe independently, relying on advanced medical equipment to maintain life.
Maybe I am really an extremely unfortunate person, and I have caused him to suffer. He could have lived a glorious life and become the dream lover of many idiots and women, but now he is so poor that he is only a shell.
Pei Zhen lay on the hospital bed for a week, and finally passed the dangerous period, during which his parents sat outside the isolation window and shed tears.
In my impression, he has always been rational and wise. He permeates the concept of business in all aspects of life. If you give up, you must gain. But now it is obviously a loss-making business. He has lost his sanity, lost his health, lost his What did he get from the praises and frantic flattery of many admirers?Is it just to seek relief?But he is obviously cold-blooded and ruthless, and it is impossible for him to be fettered by emotions.
When the attending physician allowed the family members to visit in the intensive care unit, apart from Pei Zhen's parents, the first person who came was not Mo Xiaobai but Song Yi.
Song Yi wore a knee-length woolen coat, neat trousers, a gleaming silver acacia flower brooch pinned to his chest, polished leather shoes on the wheelchair pedal, and a bunch of delicately packaged carnations on his lap. No, his face is no longer pale, but some blood has been added to his face, and he looks energetic and very dignified.
Song Yi handed the carnation to the assistant. His whole body and the wheelchair were strictly disinfected. After putting on a sterile gown, shoe covers, and disposable gloves, Song Yi pushed the wheelchair into the intensive care unit alone.
Song Yi slid the steel ring of the wheelchair to the edge of the bed, took off his gloves, and stretched out a hand to lift Pei Zhen's loose hospital gown to his chest. The most familiar mocking smile, "Your chest muscles are very firm, and it feels good to the touch. He Zhao must like it."
His voice was soft and gentle, but it sounded eerie at the moment, which sent a chill down my back.
Song Yi lowered his head and leaned into Pei Zhen's ear, "I'll tell you a secret. I brought his ashes back and put them in the Lan Duanju villa. Once I got there, I hugged him all the time. Let's go together." Falling asleep and waking up together, I have endless conversations with him every day, I will be buried with him after I die, and our ashes will be mixed together..."
Song Yi's face suddenly sank, "We are really happy, but the fly in the ointment is that you are still alive and breathing, which makes me very uneasy, so I decided to do a good deed."
Song Yi also stretched out his other hand towards Pei Zhen's chest, holding the delicate brooch in his hand.
He aimed the sharp needle point at Pei Zhen's left chest, and with all his strength, pierced it inch by inch.
Whether it is strength or technique, they are all mastered with perfect proficiency, the blood did not splash out, only two blood beads ooze out from the tiny wound.
"How can I not compare to you? I'm just so lucky. If I had arrived ten years earlier, I would never have ended up like this..."
Song Yi's voice began to blur, the picture began to distort, and finally disappeared completely. The bronze animal head slowly rose and returned to an ancient bronze mirror. The blood I dripped has not yet dried up. Just for a moment.
Pei Zhen is a workaholic and a philanthropist when he is outside. He has a heart of philanthropy for everyone. He is only harsh on me. He often goes to charity parties during his rest time, donating teaching buildings, building orphanages, and Cutting-edge scientific and technological research generously contributes... Pei Zhen will definitely go to heaven after death, but of course I went to hell, and it is true that life and death will never meet again.
From then on, one cut and two cuts, one difference and two wide.
I heard a creaking sound from the carved wooden door, a corner of black robe floated in at the door, and a pair of boots wrapped with the shadow pattern of a dragon stepped in.
I felt a palpitation inexplicably, and hurriedly propped myself up from the reclining chair.
☆、Chapter 17
Amidst the crisp "ding dong" sound of the rattle, I gradually felt my eyelids heavy and fell asleep in a daze.
It was the first good sleep after sleeping, and when he opened his eyes, he was already lying on the soft couch in the attic.
The will-o’-the-wisps were burning in the distance, and the white light projected on the bead curtain swayed with the wind around the beam. I still had the cold iron chains hanging on my body, and I lay flat and stiff, not daring to move a finger.
He really knows me very well. I am very afraid of snakes. He used to keep my weakness in mind to protect me, but now he wants to hit the vital point with precision.
My heart was extremely anxious, and those scenes of the past that made my heartache suddenly reappeared in front of my eyes very clearly.
When he hugged me to sleep for the last time, he casually said "You are too thin, my chest hurts because of your bones." Occasionally, he went back to Landuanju to get the documents, but he always had a cold face and turned a blind eye to me. To not annoy him, I had to hide in the bathroom and pull up the shower curtain.When I finally got over a bad cold, with red eye circles and a pointed nose, and rushed to the company non-stop, I found him unexpectedly appearing in my office, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and scratching the tempered glass with my index finger. He turned his head and said It's just "Remember to ask for leave to deal with personal affairs during working hours." No worry, no concern, or even a direct look at me...
If it was my wishful thinking at the beginning, then I can bear and forgive him for his indifference, betrayal and worsening of me later.But he drew the beginning of a fairy tale, and I didn't realize until the end that it was a tragedy that started in chaos and ended in abandonment.
My whole body began to feel hot, and I was struggling to think that I might go crazy. The reason why I was delayed for three months on the road to Huangquan might be that my resentment was too heavy to let go, and I always wanted to go back and strangle him to death.
"Young master, don't worry, wait a little longer, and I will send you out."
The clear and peaceful voice pulled me back from my chaotic thoughts.
A clear and slender figure was cast on the screen with the pattern of the lonely moon in the sea.
That promise made my blood boil instantly, and my heart was so excited that I was about to jump out. I couldn't stop shaking, and I clenched my fists tightly. There was a small "jingling" sound from my wrist, which was almost inaudible.
Like a flash of lightning, Pei Zhen stood upright in front of my couch, dressed in brocade clothes, with a face like a crown of jade.
I struggled to raise my head to look at the screen again, only to find that there was a small window behind the tulle, which was empty, and the figures and voices just now were like a dream.
Pei Zhen squatted down, pulled my wrist, and gently stroked his face, with his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth lightly raised, waving
Huo Xuan lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, and let out an impatient "hum".
"Fourth, you must be sick! What can happen to the blind man, if Li Ran waits on him, I'm afraid his life can't be more chic."
"Li Ran is insane and is currently locked up in a Swiss mental institution."
Huo Xuan's face changed suddenly, he sat up slowly, and clenched his five fingers on his knees into fists, "Have you asked that guy? How did you say it?"
Pei Zhen lowered his head, turning the pen mechanically in his hand, "Something may have happened to He Zhao."
The lounge suddenly seemed cramped, and there was only the sound of steaming water in the water dispenser.
Tan Sui pretended to have a distorted smile on his face, patted his thigh and stood up
"Then what, let's go, find someone first, he is definitely fine, and is trying his best to hide from us! When I find him out, I have to beat him up!"
After the voices died down, only Pei Zhen was left facing the golden side sprinkled by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Pei Zhen leaned on the armrest of the sofa, stood up, and walked into my office.
He hugged the photo frame I left behind, sat on the leather swivel chair, turned around, and gently tapped my face in the photo with his index finger
"Little He Zhao, are you satisfied? Everyone is looking for you all over the world."
The four of them seemed to be crazy. As long as they received news that there were unknown corpses, crimes committed by foreigners, and illegal smuggling, they would put aside all work and go to check in person.
When we went there, the atmosphere in the car was subdued to freezing point, no one said a word, each stared out of the car window in a daze, and on the return trip, harsh heavy metal rock music was always playing in the car, and the atmosphere was so hot that everyone would exaggerate because of an old joke laughed heartily.
I know they're running back and forth to confirm my death, they've cursed me for so long, they've finally seen the light.
They stood on the viaduct, like frozen sculptures, wrapped in black overcoats, their fingers on the bridge railings were blown purple by the strong river wind, the river below was rushing, the sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds weighed heavily on them. Very low, it is a good weather to tear the wound and release the pain.
But I am the only one who knows that they are going to work in vain again. I really want to give them a dream and tell them that I was in a car accident, was knocked into the air, and was probably thrown into the wilderness long ago. Leave me alone and let me be quiet. Buried in the soil.
The roar of the engine and the sighs of the onlookers were all around.
The police are salvaging the corpse at the dumping site identified by the dismemberment killer.
According to the perpetrator's statement, the deceased was a male in his 30s, fair-skinned, thin and thin. He was gay. He had several appointments with the murderer through mobile phone software. After going back and forth, the murderer had the idea of further getting along and developing a relationship. The deceased communicated, but was ridiculed and resolutely refused by the other party. In a fit of anger, he was killed. After the body was dismembered, at around two o'clock in the evening, the body was wrapped tightly in a woven bag, tied to a concrete pier and thrown from the viaduct. in the river.
Such an analysis in detail is indeed surprisingly consistent with me.It made me suspect that I was insane. I was not hit by a car but was raped and then killed by a friend with guns, and my body and head were chopped off.
Looking at the worried looks of the four of them, I couldn't laugh or cry.
I don't understand, in their eyes, why I am so dirty and dissolute, as if I don't even deserve to die with glory.
Four hours later, a bulging black woven bag was salvaged, dripping water and being heavily entangled by aquatic plants.
When the woven bag was opened, all the team members standing around covered their mouths and noses, bowed their bodies and backed away, and the female forensic doctor closest to her put her hands on the ground and vomited crazily.
When Pei Zhen was signaled that he could claim the corpse, he walked over in two steps, squatted down, carefully inspected the pile of blistered, swollen, white, mud-stained, and somewhat rotten stumps, stood up, and shook his head.
Before taking two steps back, Pei Zhen knelt down and lay on the ground, retching unceasingly.
Huo Xuan quickly ran over and helped him into the car.
On the way back, loud music played from BOSE's top car stereo. Huo Xuan, who was driving the car, took his hands off the steering wheel and waved his jacket while the others were staggering and shaking their heads. They were obviously sober, but they had to pretend to be drunk look.
The car parked in the "Chixi" underground garage, and when the stereo was turned off, it fell into dead silence.
Tan Sui slumped on the cushion, looked at Pei Zhen's half-closed eyes and asked cautiously, "Are you sure that's not him?"
Pei Zhen slowly stretched out her hand, staring at the ring on her ring finger
"There is a small mole about two centimeters up from his jaw, and there is a wound on his ankle that was pierced by steel bars. His skin is very thin, and he has little flesh on his body, but his joints are very thick, just like a skeleton..."
He choked up a bit, raised his hand and pressed the ring to his lips, "We have been together for 15 years, how can we admit our mistakes."
☆、Chapter 14
The four brothers met for dinner at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Yunsheng Building at night. Through the sightseeing windows in the circular restaurant, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire brightly lit city. The floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, and the iron flower stands are crowded with The gorgeous blue enchantress, the violin music is soothing and melodious.
A few hours ago, I was still retching at the rotting corpse, but now I am in the mood to eat a gluttonous meal in a luxurious restaurant. I have to take a closer look at Pei Zhen. His heart is indeed harder than steel and invulnerable.
Pei Zhen didn't sit down directly, but went to borrow the kitchen of the restaurant.
The other three didn't seem to care about those delicacies, they just kept drinking strong vodka.
Pei Zhen didn't come out until the stars were all polished.
He was pushing the tiramisu cake he made himself, covered with chocolate powder, lit with little cherries, and a crooked 36 was drawn on the surface with jam.
It turned out to be for my birthday, but I didn't live to be 36 years old. He promised me that I would not be able to eat the cake after all.
Pei Zhen's ideas are always so wild and unconstrained that I can't figure it out.
The dim candlelight was flickering, and the light and shadow flickered on Pei Zhen's face. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his eyes were crescent-shaped.
There was an empty seat beside Pei Zhen, and he put his hands on the back of the chair next to him, always turning his body to that side, as if I was actually sitting on the chair.
He habitually unfolded the napkin on the side, leaned over to spread it, and saw that the chair was empty, he put it back again, and patiently folded it neatly.
He shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the knife and fork, looked around and found that the other three were staring at him gloomyly, he cut the steak generously without stopping
"Eat it, don't wait for him, he will have to punish himself with a drink when he arrives later, and we can't get used to him anymore!"
The sound of the violin was filtered out on the dining table, leaving only the sound of chewing.
"Excuse me, sir. This is the guest who left just now and told me to hand it over to you." A foreign waiter with a high nose and deep eyes bowed and handed an embossed jewelry box to Pei Zhen.
"It's He Zhao!"
Pei Zhen clutched the jewelry box tightly and chased after him. He took another elevator down to the first floor and looked around. There were ladies and gentry walking in twos and threes in the brightly lit hall, but he didn't see me. He grabbed the revolving glass door and rushed out again. , and in the vast night, there are only endless traffic and flashing neon lights.
Pei Zhen sat dejectedly on the marble steps on the ground floor of Yunsheng Building, with her elbows on her knees, her head buried deeply, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Huo Xuan and the others just rushed down and squatted down beside Pei Zhen to form a circle.
Huo Xuan pressed Pei Zhen's forehead and held Pei Zhen's face, his eyes were full of concern and worry
"Brother, cheer up! Let's see what the little blind man left for you."
Pei Zhen hurriedly opened the jewelry box, the lid popped open, and the platinum ring lay quietly on the black velvet cushion.
Pei Zhen smiled with tears, and nodded ecstatically, "It's him! It's him! At least it means that he's still fine! He just doesn't bother to see me."
Pei Zhen stretched out his finger to pick up the ring, and a corner of the fleece cushion was raised, revealing a note tucked underneath.
is a cemetery address.
Pei Zhen clutched his chest and fell down on his back.
Huo Xuan pressed Pei Zhen's shoulder, fished his head onto his lap, pinched the man and the tiger's mouth, and comforted him, "Didn't this ring be thrown away by the blind man? It must be which turtle Sun picked it up and fooled him." your!"
After Pei Zhen woke up, he forced himself to sit up, his lips were white and purple, he put the ring tremblingly into the inner pocket of his chest, and murmured in a low voice, "It's nothing, we will see you later."
Tan Sui, who had been staying silent all this time, suddenly rushed forward and punched Pei Zhen's temple with wind in his arm, without mercy.
Huo Xuan jumped up suddenly, raised his foot and kicked Tan Sui's knee, kicking him to kneel on the steps. "You, mother, can you not make things worse!"
Tan Sui ignored him, and looked directly at Pei Zhen, "Don't be scary at every turn, and you can conclude that it is him in the tomb based on a ring? He was obviously fine when he left!"
Pei Zhen's tears fell on his sleeves drop by drop, his eyes and nose were red, and he couldn't stop sobbing while speaking
"After the ring was thrown away by him...I picked it up. I...embedded it...into the silver necklace that Li Ran gave him, because I watched him...seeing that he always wears it with him, I, I am very painful.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, that lunatic will not let him... take off the necklace."
I don't understand, seeing Pei Zhen like this seems to be really heartbroken, then why he refused to treat me better when I was alive.
The drizzle is like weaving, but there is a faint sunlight passing through the vast fog and shining on the hood of the car. There are echoes in the valley and birds hovering on the lake. The town of Mirren is as quiet and empty as Pei Zhen's last visit. .
The Humvee convoy steamed towards the spruce-covered hills.
My tomb is on the backside of the mountain, facing the window of the burning ward, as if he knew that he would go crazy and be locked in that transparent room.
The mountain path is rugged, and all the people on the road are dressed in black, holding big black umbrellas, and holding white chrysanthemums. Only Pei Zhen is holding a bunch of Phalaenopsis.
I am ashamed, that group of people, Pei Zhen, Huo Xuan, Mo Xiaobai...all of them hate me to the bone, and now they are all dead, and they have to be wronged to come to see me.
But the sky is high and the earth is far away, from now on it might not come once in ten years.
On the white marble tombstone, my black and white photo is a serious and indifferent side face, with a white shirt buttoned to the first button of the neckline, thick black shadows under the eyelashes, and a blurry background.
I didn't have a photo with Li Ran, and I don't like to take pictures myself. The photo should be the only one that Li Ran managed to take secretly. Every time he raised his camera, I would panic and dodge, frowning, to show his face.
I suddenly regretted that I didn't smile more in front of him, so at least I would not be so vicious and decisive, and it seemed that I deserved to die.
The world is really unpredictable. I was disgusted and burned for the rest of my life, but after I died, I had to trouble him to collect the corpse.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find that Song Yi had arrived early.
The plaster plaster on Song Yi's leg hadn't been removed yet, and he was leaning back in a wheelchair, trapped in the rain and mist, his eyelids were red, his eyelashes were wet from the rain, and his hair stuck to his pale cheeks. His whole body seemed to be frozen and shivered.
Pei Zhen raised his hand to prevent other people from passing by, and a group of people just stood aside and watched coldly.
Song Yi reached into his coat pocket, took out a small bottle of stomach medicine, and gently placed it on my tombstone, a tear slowly slid down his thin cheek.
"You definitely don't remember. I once saw you vomited and the sink was full of blood. From then on, every time I saw you, I would prepare medicine on my body. I was very happy. I didn't use it once, and I will use it again in the future." It's useless."
Song Yi raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, relaxed his shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief with his head raised, stretched out his hand to slide the rim of the wheelchair and was about to leave. He just turned a slight angle, but turned around in a panic, and looked at him with tears in his eyes. My photo shouted "I didn't set the trap to let you die! I wanted you to beg me! Why don't you come? Coward!"
Huo Xuan couldn't stand it any longer, threw Baiju into Mo Xiaobai's arms, and rushed up, "It turns out that you are behind the scenes!"
He was about to kick Song Yi's wheelchair, but was pushed aside by Song Yi's bodyguards behind him. Huo Xuan was dragged away, still talking dishonestly, yelling loudly.
Song Yi glanced at Pei Zhen who was standing under the spruce, and pointed a middle finger very rudely. His wet eyes were full of resentment and hatred. The bodyguard stepped forward to put Song Yi on an oxygen mask, and he obediently put his hands back and lay on the wheelchair On the backrest, it seemed that all the strength had been taken away, and the bodyguard pushed him back.
Song Yi's shadow was scattered in the smoke, and Pei Zhen's feet seemed to be filled with lead. He just stood far away and didn't come forward, as if he was afraid that my bad luck would dirty his noble body.
After Huo Xuan was freed from the oppression of Song Yi's group of bodyguards, he grabbed Bai Ju back from Mo Xiaobai's arms and strode to my grave.
After putting down the flowers, he put one hand on my stele and half-kneeled down, just like how he put my shoulders when we squatted together before when there was no gap between us.
He tapped my forehead in the photo with his other hand, "Little blind man, I thought we could leave you alone, wait for ten or eight years, and forgive you after we have tormented you enough, but I didn't expect...you You little bastard, you left so early. It was like yesterday when I was grabbing food with you, but you are gone..."
Huo Xuan raised his arm and rubbed his eyes, then turned his head and shouted at Pei Zhen, "Fourth, why don't you come and see?"
Pei Zhen handed the Phalaenopsis in his hand to Mo Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you don't have to be afraid of him, just send it there for me."
Mo Xiaobai drooped his head, his eyelashes fluttered nervously, bit his lower lip with his fine white teeth, and walked over in small steps.
Huo Xuan stood up and stepped aside, Mo Xiaobai placed the bouquet of phalaenopsis squarely in front of my tombstone, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, don't... don't be self-willed, there is no one to protect you down there." you."
I suddenly recalled that on last year’s disastrous birthday, Pei Zhen pushed him in front of me and asked him to give me hyacinths. No matter how angry he was, it would be the last time. I would not believe that Mo Xiaobai would travel thousands of miles from now on. Come to visit my grave, we are old enemies, life and death are incompatible.
After Mo Xiaobai delivered the flowers, he quickly ran behind Pei Zhen, hugged his forearm, and looked at him with bright eyes.
In fact, I don't care much about people's compliments or slanders, I just want to hear what Pei Zhen said, but Pei Zhen just stood aside and watched the white chrysanthemums piled up in front of my grave, letting Mo Xiaobai pull his sleeves , the expression on his face was stiff, yet my secretary looked sad.
When everyone was addicted to the show and was about to leave, Huo Xuan patted Pei Zhen on the back and advised him again, "Anyway, go over and talk, everyone is..., what knot can't be untied?"
Pei Zhen simply turned around and left, the black umbrella that was thrown down was circling on the wet grass.
Tan Sui firmly grasped Pei Zhen's wrist, "Fourth brother, he's already dead, how do you want him to make amends? Why are you so hard-hearted?"
Pei Zhen paused, took a deep breath, turned his head, and pointed to the towering white building opposite, "Did you see that there is a room for Guan Li Ran by that window, as long as Li Ran remains crazy, they will face each other day and night I'm afraid that if I walk over, I won't be able to resist digging out his ashes and bringing them back!"
Pei Zhen shook off Tan Sui's hand and left without looking back. His long and slender figure shrunk into ink dots and slowly disappeared in the thicker and heavier fog.
After Pei Zhen returned to China, he still acted swiftly and resolutely, working continuously, like a precise and efficient machine, without weakness or emotion.
Even at a dinner party, when I was asked about me by a colleague, he held his wine glass calmly, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "He passed away a month ago, it seems that the logo of "Chixi" will also have to be changed in the future, and the five-petal crabapple flower Become a four-leaf clover." A few ridicules elicited roars of laughter.
Under his many efforts, "Xunshan Mansion" successfully opened the pre-sale, and the "Chixi" business card added a magnificent touch.I read it correctly 15 years ago, he is the darling of God, omnipotent, but his luck has not been passed on to me.
At the completion ceremony of "Xunshan Mansion", banners, flower baskets and hydrogen balloons made the scene lively and lively.
When the host announced that the chief designer would speak next, I didn't expect that I would feel at ease in my heart. This position is mine. It doesn't matter who snatches it away, even if it is given to Mo Xiaobai, Pei Zhen has already convinced me that the nature of human nature is cold.All earthly honors and disgraces are of no concern to me. "
Unexpectedly, it was Pei Zhen who finally took over the microphone. Pei Zhen is the leader of "Chixi". As soon as he appeared, the staff and guests on the scene were all excited, and there was enthusiastic applause immediately.
He blocked the harsh noon sun with the back of his hand, looking at Yiyuan Mountain with towering trees beyond the square.
"Unfortunately, our chief designer was not able to be present, but the design concept should not be reflected in words or advertisements, but should be poured into the real feelings of the residents. I hope that every household that settles here in the future will be reunited Yuan, safe and sound, and what surprise the chief designer has hidden for us, we will wait and see."
When the big screen showed the "Xunshan Mansion" a series of processes such as bidding for land, laying foundations and starting construction, Pei Zhen kept standing in the corner and watched. Occasionally, I appeared, and he raised his camera to take pictures, as if he was in the university before. Just like before, I was timid and afraid of showing my face. I wanted to change myself, so I plucked up the courage and went to the music festival to sing. As soon as I opened my mouth, the audience burst into laughter. Only he listened attentively behind the camera. He always said He is a junk picker himself, and he also thinks it is good if others don't want it.
After the ceremony, Pei Zhen took off his shirt and suit for the first time, and put on a sweater and jeans, looking like the sunny boy back then.
He went back to the old house, with heavy mahogany furniture, quaint wrought iron chandeliers, and golden carvings on the thick pillars. I have been here several times in the past five years, and I was scolded every time.
Pei Zhen's father, who had a straight face, was old and still domineering, and he hadn't given Pei Zhen good face for so many years. He was most annoyed that his outstanding son finally fell in love with a timid bastard.
I think it's because I'm getting older, and I haven't seen my son for a long time. My heart softened, and I wanted to ease the relationship. I couldn't find anything to say for a while, so I asked me casually.
"Ah Zhen, why don't you take Xiao He with you this time? Divided?"
Pei Zhen picked up a chopstick dish for his father, and after chewing it all, he replied slowly, "I'm dead, from now on I will only accompany you."
Pei Zhen's father was taken aback for a moment, and he recovered himself. Seeing that Pei Zhen's face was normal, he might still feel uneasy, so he opened his mouth to test
"If it doesn't work, just find another one."
☆、Chapter 15
Pei Zhen took a sip of his wine with a smile, and went back to his father, "Should I find another one? All right, anyway, any one will be more worry-free than him."
His father nodded in satisfaction, and this page was opened.
Then the two father and son began to talk about their daily routines, and Pei Zhen took care of the old man's physical condition by the way.
In the middle of the moon, Pei Zhen sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, the silvery white light of the open-air swimming pool passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and reflected on his face, the flickering light and shadow made his chiseled face look like a crown jade.
After Pei Zhen came back to his senses, he opened the drawer and found a crystal ball from inside.
Mercury dissociates in the transparent glass, aggregates discretely, and is crystal clear, like holding a handful of moonlight.
The crystal ball was a gift I gave him more than ten years ago. I didn't forget it. What a surprise, he didn't forget it either.
I was guarding the flower shop that day, and there was a sudden downpour of rain from the sky, and there was still a row of Clivia in the yard that was not brought into the house.
I pressed grandma on the bamboo chair, took off my coat and rushed into the rain.
Suddenly a person jumped down from an Equus parked across the street, rushed over quickly, and began to help me carry flowers without saying a word.
The thin T-shirt was wet and stuck to his thin back, the tips of his hair and chin were dripping, but his slender arms were strong and powerful.
After moving, both of us were soaked, I forced him to take a shower first, and put on my dry clothes.
After wiping his hair and coming out of the bathroom, he sat under the rose trellis and teased my big white cat. Grandma held the soles of her shoes and talked to him softly.
The sun came out, and the golden sunlight cast on their shoulders, casting two long shadows slantingly on the concrete floor.
That scene was silent, it was a warm dream, and it settled into an old film in my heart.
Seeing me coming out, he put the cat off his lap inexplicably, got up and walked out the door.
"Pei Zhen, are you... just leaving?"
I threw down the towel and rushed into the room, holding the crystal ball I had prepared for a long time, and chased after it.
The steps of the old house are covered with moss, and after the heavy rain, there are golden dewdrops, which are slippery.
When Pei Zhen heard me call him, he slipped and fell face down without paying attention, splashing water everywhere.
After he got up in a panic, I found that his jaw was bruised, I stuffed the crystal ball into his arms, and pulled him into the room, but his face was flushed and he kept yelling "No !no no……"
I was like a bamboo pole, and I couldn't do anything to him, so I had to watch him walk out with a cat face.
He hugged the crystal ball tightly like he was picking up a treasure, turned around and grinned at me stupidly, then stepped on the last step and fell into a big lotus vat in the yard.The two little tortoises raised in the tank were directly blown out, and they rolled over while pressing on the shells of the turtles.
My grandma and I worked together to pull him out of the lotus tank. After he came out, his head was covered with Houttuynia cordata, and he flicked the water in his ears dumbly...
More than ten years have passed in a flash. It is really hard to believe that the youthful and restrained boy who loved to play handsome and cool at the beginning will become a flirtatious and sophisticated businessman who is full of interests.
Pei Zhen put the base of the crystal ball on the sharp corner of the bedside table and slammed it violently. Within two hits, the base bounced off and broke into two halves.
He mixed the mercury-wrapped liquid in the crystal ball into the water glass, and shook it gently, his facial expression was almost bewildered, the corner of his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were full of grief.
He took a medicine bottle out of his purse and sprinkled the handful of pills into the cup.
Examine the cup obsessively against the moonlight, the pills and mercury sinking and floating in the transparent liquid, and the brilliance flowing looks a bit intoxicating.
I guessed what he was going to do, and suddenly my heart softened.
I can be free after his death, but at this moment, I can't bear it very much. After all, I am not him. Although I am already a dead person, I have not lost my humanity.Cats and dogs have been raised for 15 years. Even if they are naughty and greedy, they will feel unbearable if they suddenly disappear, let alone a living person.
I think I can still wait until he dies, instead of committing suicide in such a wimpy and sneaky way.
Pei Zhen raised his head and swallowed the cup of highly poisonous mixture.
He lay flat on the big bed quietly, closed his eyes but couldn't stop crying.
I can't believe that everything between us ended so abruptly. He didn't repent, and I didn't forgive. Obviously, the relationship is still entangled, but the future is already clear.
Pei Zhen was lying on the bed, her eyelashes were trembling constantly, her fingers were tightly twisting the sheets, her knuckles were white, and there was dense sweat on her forehead.The sleeping pills he took hadn't taken effect yet, but the mercury he'd swallowed had.
I wanted to reach out and grab him, to call for help, but there was nothing I could do.
When I was in a hurry, there was a light knock on the door.
Pei Zhen's mother stood at the door, wearing silk pajamas, with curly hair loose, and a worried face
"Azhen, are you asleep? Mom wants to talk to you."
Pei Zhen opened his eyes, bloodshot in his eyes, distracted, his lips opened and closed a few times, but he couldn't make a sound.
Pei Zhen's mother gathered the blanket on her back, stood at the door, hesitated, and turned on the soft wall lamp.
She walked over and sat beside Pei Zhen's bed, "Ah Zhen, I know you haven't fallen asleep. You have kept everything in your heart since you were a child, and you have to bear it alone. In fact, the first time you brought Xiao He back, I saw it." You got stuck, and now that he is gone, you feel uncomfortable, you can lose your temper and make trouble like you did when you were a child, don't hold it in your heart."
Pei Zhen trembled uncontrollably, and a few sobs leaked from his mouth.
Pei Zhen's mother probably thought that he was just feeling sad and couldn't help sobbing, so she hugged Pei Zhen's upper body into her arms, lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead in distress.
Pei Zhen's profuse sweating and uncontrollable trembling finally aroused her vigilance. She patted Pei Zhen's sweaty face and whispered his baby names in his ear. Pei Zhen just looked up at the ceiling, panting anxiously. Gas, no response.
Pei Zhen's mother immediately hugged his shoulders tightly and cried out sharply. In the middle of the night, when the old house was brightly lit, Pei's family sent a car as quickly as possible to take Pei Zhen to the nearest city hospital for emergency treatment.
In the fast-moving car, his old father was holding an ebony cane in one hand and stroking Pei Zhen's hair with the other. His back was slightly bent, his temples were graying, and he dissipated the anger of galloping in the business world. He instantly aged several years.
Pei Zhen was in the emergency room. After four hours of continuous rescue, his life was temporarily saved. However, due to ingestion of a large amount of mercury, he was poisoned by heavy metals, causing permanent damage to the nervous system, organ failure, and even necrosis in some cases. Transferred to the intensive care unit.
The medical equipment was placed around the hospital bed, running tick-tock, and the indicator lights flickered, as if they were constantly urging their lives.
Pei Zhen was lying on the bed with a handsome face. After the operation, his hair was shaved and his facial features were even more erect, but his complexion turned sickly pale.
The throat was cut open and a tracheal tube was inserted. Electromagnetic patches were attached to the body, and various lead wires were connected.
He may wake up, but he can no longer hold meetings or laugh sanely.The best situation is to lie motionless on the bed, unable to breathe independently, relying on advanced medical equipment to maintain life.
Maybe I am really an extremely unfortunate person, and I have caused him to suffer. He could have lived a glorious life and become the dream lover of many idiots and women, but now he is so poor that he is only a shell.
Pei Zhen lay on the hospital bed for a week, and finally passed the dangerous period, during which his parents sat outside the isolation window and shed tears.
In my impression, he has always been rational and wise. He permeates the concept of business in all aspects of life. If you give up, you must gain. But now it is obviously a loss-making business. He has lost his sanity, lost his health, lost his What did he get from the praises and frantic flattery of many admirers?Is it just to seek relief?But he is obviously cold-blooded and ruthless, and it is impossible for him to be fettered by emotions.
When the attending physician allowed the family members to visit in the intensive care unit, apart from Pei Zhen's parents, the first person who came was not Mo Xiaobai but Song Yi.
Song Yi wore a knee-length woolen coat, neat trousers, a gleaming silver acacia flower brooch pinned to his chest, polished leather shoes on the wheelchair pedal, and a bunch of delicately packaged carnations on his lap. No, his face is no longer pale, but some blood has been added to his face, and he looks energetic and very dignified.
Song Yi handed the carnation to the assistant. His whole body and the wheelchair were strictly disinfected. After putting on a sterile gown, shoe covers, and disposable gloves, Song Yi pushed the wheelchair into the intensive care unit alone.
Song Yi slid the steel ring of the wheelchair to the edge of the bed, took off his gloves, and stretched out a hand to lift Pei Zhen's loose hospital gown to his chest. The most familiar mocking smile, "Your chest muscles are very firm, and it feels good to the touch. He Zhao must like it."
His voice was soft and gentle, but it sounded eerie at the moment, which sent a chill down my back.
Song Yi lowered his head and leaned into Pei Zhen's ear, "I'll tell you a secret. I brought his ashes back and put them in the Lan Duanju villa. Once I got there, I hugged him all the time. Let's go together." Falling asleep and waking up together, I have endless conversations with him every day, I will be buried with him after I die, and our ashes will be mixed together..."
Song Yi's face suddenly sank, "We are really happy, but the fly in the ointment is that you are still alive and breathing, which makes me very uneasy, so I decided to do a good deed."
Song Yi also stretched out his other hand towards Pei Zhen's chest, holding the delicate brooch in his hand.
He aimed the sharp needle point at Pei Zhen's left chest, and with all his strength, pierced it inch by inch.
Whether it is strength or technique, they are all mastered with perfect proficiency, the blood did not splash out, only two blood beads ooze out from the tiny wound.
"How can I not compare to you? I'm just so lucky. If I had arrived ten years earlier, I would never have ended up like this..."
Song Yi's voice began to blur, the picture began to distort, and finally disappeared completely. The bronze animal head slowly rose and returned to an ancient bronze mirror. The blood I dripped has not yet dried up. Just for a moment.
Pei Zhen is a workaholic and a philanthropist when he is outside. He has a heart of philanthropy for everyone. He is only harsh on me. He often goes to charity parties during his rest time, donating teaching buildings, building orphanages, and Cutting-edge scientific and technological research generously contributes... Pei Zhen will definitely go to heaven after death, but of course I went to hell, and it is true that life and death will never meet again.
From then on, one cut and two cuts, one difference and two wide.
I heard a creaking sound from the carved wooden door, a corner of black robe floated in at the door, and a pair of boots wrapped with the shadow pattern of a dragon stepped in.
I felt a palpitation inexplicably, and hurriedly propped myself up from the reclining chair.
☆、Chapter 17
Amidst the crisp "ding dong" sound of the rattle, I gradually felt my eyelids heavy and fell asleep in a daze.
It was the first good sleep after sleeping, and when he opened his eyes, he was already lying on the soft couch in the attic.
The will-o’-the-wisps were burning in the distance, and the white light projected on the bead curtain swayed with the wind around the beam. I still had the cold iron chains hanging on my body, and I lay flat and stiff, not daring to move a finger.
He really knows me very well. I am very afraid of snakes. He used to keep my weakness in mind to protect me, but now he wants to hit the vital point with precision.
My heart was extremely anxious, and those scenes of the past that made my heartache suddenly reappeared in front of my eyes very clearly.
When he hugged me to sleep for the last time, he casually said "You are too thin, my chest hurts because of your bones." Occasionally, he went back to Landuanju to get the documents, but he always had a cold face and turned a blind eye to me. To not annoy him, I had to hide in the bathroom and pull up the shower curtain.When I finally got over a bad cold, with red eye circles and a pointed nose, and rushed to the company non-stop, I found him unexpectedly appearing in my office, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and scratching the tempered glass with my index finger. He turned his head and said It's just "Remember to ask for leave to deal with personal affairs during working hours." No worry, no concern, or even a direct look at me...
If it was my wishful thinking at the beginning, then I can bear and forgive him for his indifference, betrayal and worsening of me later.But he drew the beginning of a fairy tale, and I didn't realize until the end that it was a tragedy that started in chaos and ended in abandonment.
My whole body began to feel hot, and I was struggling to think that I might go crazy. The reason why I was delayed for three months on the road to Huangquan might be that my resentment was too heavy to let go, and I always wanted to go back and strangle him to death.
"Young master, don't worry, wait a little longer, and I will send you out."
The clear and peaceful voice pulled me back from my chaotic thoughts.
A clear and slender figure was cast on the screen with the pattern of the lonely moon in the sea.
That promise made my blood boil instantly, and my heart was so excited that I was about to jump out. I couldn't stop shaking, and I clenched my fists tightly. There was a small "jingling" sound from my wrist, which was almost inaudible.
Like a flash of lightning, Pei Zhen stood upright in front of my couch, dressed in brocade clothes, with a face like a crown of jade.
I struggled to raise my head to look at the screen again, only to find that there was a small window behind the tulle, which was empty, and the figures and voices just now were like a dream.
Pei Zhen squatted down, pulled my wrist, and gently stroked his face, with his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth lightly raised, waving
