quail

Li Bai often felt that there was something wrong with his mind, not because he was cursing, but because of some kind of objective obstacle, which made him unable to keep up with what was happening, let alone control it, and thus doubted the world.

He also often had the illusion of being severely beaten for no reason, the pain, the grievance and frustration, all stuffed in his chest and writhing, sinking like a ton of gallstones about to explode His lower ribs can make him unable to straighten up in an instant.

When the two police officers, tall and short, arrived, Li Bai had been at the door for more than 20 minutes. He knocked on the door and yelled loudly. The voice-activated lights on the lower floors were all turned on, but this was the only response he got.Then he lost his strength and squatted down against the wall with his belly in his arms. He became quiet, and the darkness enveloped him. He just took a few breaths, and two steps climbed up. The white light of the police flashlight pierced his face like lightning. superior.

"...there is a light." Li Bai whispered, and stomped on the light bulb above his head vigorously.

Facing the three living people, the door finally lost some of its dead air, and it opened about 5 minutes later. Standing inside was Yang Yuqiu, who looked like he had just woken up, with disheveled clothes, a sluggish expression, and marks on his face. Mottled tears and bloodstains.She looked at Li Bai, her lips twitched, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai..." was the only syllable she could make.On the contrary, the bloodstains on the ground attracted the police's attention even more. They were mixed among the garbage, some dripped into dots, some were smeared into flakes, and some were trampled into footprints.

"What's going on here?" The tall one followed the bloodstains into the room where the god was worshiped, and soon coughed out of the incense candle, while Li Bai was so disappointed that he pulled Yang Yuqiu back to the sofa after searching every room to no avail. All of them watched from the sidelines, no matter how they shook or asked, Yang Yuqiu couldn't tell what happened just now, nor could he tell where Yang Jian was going.

"Did he have an abortion, didn't he!" Li Bai hoarse, he saw that the package of medicine had been found somewhere, it was the package that he couldn't find before he locked Yang Yuqiu into the bedroom, There are also empty water glasses, which are piled up on the corner of the coffee table.Yang Yuqiu didn't answer, and looked at the two people in front of her in a daze. She was afraid of the loyal policeman, so she insisted on shrinking away from the hysterical Li Bai, blinking her eyelids feebly, and fell asleep.

Is this also a side effect of the medicine...or rather, a side effect of the disease.Li Bai shuddered, but the fire in his heart was not extinguished. He only thought that Yang Jian was hiding in the medicine bottle, and when the bottle cap was twisted, Yang Jian simply hung up his phone.He wiped away the muddy things that blocked his eyes, not knowing whether it was mud, rain or tears, "That's a cult!" He strode to the door of the incense room, staring at the shadow with the flashlight shining indiscriminately, "My brother won't follow them!" A group of people, so they came to find my brother's business, the blood is my brother's, they gave it to my brother, my brother has anemia, blood coagulation function is very poor, the cult is harming people, this is the cult harming people !"

"Well, it's really messed up. We will definitely register for the record when we go back. Don't worry about that," the tall police officer came back from the shrine, as if feeling unlucky. He rubbed his shoulders, "But there are fourteen cults recognized by the state, which one do you belong to?"

"..." Li Bai's left blade slammed into the door frame, and it hurt a lot.

"If it's all your brother's blood, it's really serious, but there's no evidence to prove that the blood has something to do with the two gods donated over there. We have always held an attitude of tolerance and guidance in ordinary folk religions. What should we do specifically? We have to wait until the person involved is found." The short police officer picked out a place where the mud had dried on Li Bai's shoulder, patted it lightly, and said earnestly, "Little comrade, don't be in a hurry, if you say If the cult comes over to find trouble again, you should call the police. Besides, your brother was conscious when he called you, which means that the problem is not serious. You should call him a few more times, keep in touch, and come when you have clues This is the only way we can report now.”

"Maybe you just went to the hospital?" The tall one also echoed.

Seeing that Yang Yuqiu was still asleep, they didn't ask her to question her again. They simply walked around each room to check the situation, and then they went back home.Li Bai followed closely, not reconciled, he wanted to grab them and question them, so you just left?But people don't seem to have to give him a reason.When he got downstairs, he saw the carport with the headlights of the police car. In the rainstorm, the pair of headlights shone farther and farther away. There was a bright white knife, and the entire carport was illuminated, but there was indeed nothing.

There is no red Yamaha with white "パプリカ" stickers on the trunk.

It was only then that Li Bai really admitted in his heart that Yang Jian had indeed left, not hiding in a corner of the room that he hadn't found, not hiding in a medicine bottle, Yang Jian came by motorbike, and also left by motorbike.Are you sober, are you still bleeding, are you sad for the phrase "break up".have no idea.The rain washed away.

Li Bai walked on the road at night, and sometimes it rained so hard that he seemed to be walking in the sea in a trance.Every time he passes a fork in the road, he will feel pain, because when faced with a choice, he may make mistakes, and the more mistakes he makes with Yang Jian, the farther he will go.Where should I find it?This is really clueless, Yang Jian said that he wanted to separate, but he didn't meet him.How many calls were missed, the night was getting deeper and deeper, the road names in front of me were half-familiar, and the time was so late that no cars passed by.

Beijing is so big, Li Bai knew about it a long time ago, but it was the first time he cried because of it.The black asphalt was flushed to a glossy finish, and he sat down with his knees tucked under a street lamp, trembling and watching.The No. [-] Middle School uniform wrapped him heavily. It had long been covered with mud and turned white, and the blue and black sleeves had also turned grayish-yellow.

The big pit that was halfway across the road before had bruised his skin, and when he climbed up desperately, some wounds were worn worse, such as his knees. Li Bai pinned up his trouser legs to let the rain wash it away, and stretched the sleeves of his school uniform Lay it on, as if this old, stained garment is a cure-all.But it still hurts, through a layer of rough cotton, he dug his fingers in, and crushed the wound hard, he could still feel the pain, he cried out, weeping bitterly, as if changed Back to the self who hid in the paddy field many years ago and cried, biting the cloth so as not to make too much noise, the slimy muddy water soaked the wounds all over the body, it was cool and comfortable.His embarrassment only increased compared to then.How painful is Yang Jian?Doesn't Yang Jian hurt?

The screen of the mobile phone was blacked out due to too much water, and it was stuck on the waiting interface. Li Bai stared at it blankly, stroked it, patted it, dropped it, but it still didn't light up.

When the rain stopped, the sky was already fringed with white, and the sky was so dizzy that it turned blue. Li Bai returned home, empty, the slippers at the door hadn't changed their positions, and Yang Jian hadn't come back.Li Bai took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub, turning on the hot water. He felt as if he had a high fever. After sitting for a while, he jumped up with splashes of water, but he almost went naked like Archimedes again.

He remembered the story Yang Jian had told him, and he had just experienced a flash of inspiration similar to this story—the hospital, the hospital the tall police officer said!Yang Jian must be there, bandaged, infused, and tired to sleep, that's why he ignored his call.I was so stupid, I was cursed for half a day to do useless work, and I deserved to cry!

Putting on his clothes hastily, Li Bai rushed out of the house again.This morning when the rain stopped seemed colder than the night. He rode a broken bicycle to find the nearest hospital, the registration office, the emergency room, the infusion hall... He searched all the way and asked all the way. If there was no result, he went out and looked for the second one.The sky is as clear as blue, the willows by the river are hazy in spring, the city has woken up, and it is the morning peak filled with exhaust gas and the smell of egg pancakes.By the time I went to the third hospital, the morning rush hour had already passed.When I went to the fourth one, a stall selling boxed meals for the family members had already been set up at the entrance of the hospital.

Li Bai bought a dish worth ten yuan, one meat and two vegetables, squatted on the side of the road and finished eating, and then he couldn't remember the dishes he had just eaten.He searched for the fifth and sixth... As expected of a big city, the search circle was not very big, and he could come across so many hospitals by just riding a bicycle. Since he found nothing, Li Bai drew the scope further.

Two days passed, then three days, four days... Li Bai didn't go to work, rarely came home, and forgot to check the calendar, but the time was still going down mercilessly. He was revived after the morning, but the only calls from the store were calls urging him to go back to work, which made this passing cruel, as if he was a walking dead, time was a stick on him, and the daily scale was Cut it off with a knife edge.

Li Bai had been to the nine-story old apartment a few times, and he wanted to ask Yang Yuqiu how much he wanted, but he couldn't knock on the door once.He also went to Yang Jian's studio and stayed alone in the rimless glasses. His eye circles were blacker than the bottom of a pot, and his teeth were covered with coffee stains. He told Li Bai, Yang Jian?I'm looking for him too!

So innocent.

Li Bai walked down the fire stairs, left the Qidi Technology building, and walked on the street with his pockets in his pockets.Traffic passed by him, many people passed by him, Yang Xu also passed by him, pounced on his face, very softly, it took him a long time to realize that he was going in the opposite direction, as if time and space were lost before he knew it measure.

After returning home that day, his endless days were suddenly marked.Xiao Hui was gone, and so was the cage, Li Bai had no time to say goodbye empty-handedly, because the only one who took Xiao Hui away was Yang Jian.How cunning, Li Bai smiled when he was not around, at least he was still alive, so he didn't have to think about dying every day!After getting used to this cognition, he frantically rummaged through the drawers of the cabinets in the room. There were indeed few things Yang had cut, but the few things he could count were enough to frighten Li Bai. He found a bird behind the bedroom door. Open the box, and all the missing items are in it.

What do you mean?

A few spring and summer clothes, a few boxes of medicine, a few books and a few notebooks.There is also a moon cake box containing the household registration passbook, graduation certificate, and a knife with a short handle and pointed end, which is the one I am very familiar with.

Yang Jian really had very few things to take away, and the space was so small that he couldn't hold him.Then why not take it away?Want him to see and envy the object?Li Bai messed up all the things that had been placed neatly and orderly, closed the box, and sat down on it.

Waiting is a tormenting thing, but fortunately Yang Jian didn't make him wait for long.That day Li Bai was sitting on the floor of the balcony, smoking a cigarette, looking bored at the little piece of sunlight shining down on his knee.Those plants are still there, so it won't look so empty here.

Li Bai himself found it interesting. After Yang Jian left, he never emptied the ashtray. He kept the man's cigarette butts and a light layer of ash. He dusted the new ash in and piled up the old ones to form a hill. , which makes him feel safe.However, even if the cigarette butts are not pressed in to save space, the mountain is almost unable to support it. If the base is moved a little, the gray and white debris will fall down.Li Bai dusted off fresh ashes on the top of the mountain, watching them being blocked in a precarious pothole, took off half a cigarette from his mouth, looked at the circle of teeth marks, and also saw the dark fire burning in the scorched black.He wanted to touch it, or let this hot thing touch him, to relieve the coldness, and just a few seconds before he put his arm on it, the door lock rang.

The key turned with a click, and a figure stood in front of the door, looking sideways at him from across the bedroom, that gaze was straight and steady, and he didn't even hide.

Li Bai's cigarette fell on the floor tiles, and he jumped up from the floor tiles.
