Li Heng opened his eyes with a severe headache. It was pitch black in front of him and he couldn't see anything.
He was about to get up, but found that his hands, feet, and even his head were bound by something. He couldn't move at all, and he couldn't even twist his neck.
He couldn't see or move. He wanted to shout, but his mouth was tightly blocked by tape, and he could only moan a few times unwillingly.
The confusion caused by the splitting headache gradually returned to normal after he tried hard to calm down.
He recalled that today he had accompanied Mei Qian to the mountains to collect wind. The two of them trekked in the wild for a long time and found a very suitable place to camp before dark.
The last memory is when I was looking for dead branches...
His thoughts were spinning rapidly, but in his true state, he couldn't see, couldn't move, couldn't call for help, the surroundings were quiet, there wasn't even the sound of reptiles, and he didn't know where he was. All of this was simply weird.
What must have happened after that? Was he kidnapped? Who attacked him?
Could it be Mei Qian?
Thinking of all the speculations about Mei Qian's identity on the Internet, Li Heng felt a chill in his heart and his body couldn't help but tremble.
And just when he fell into deep despair and thought he was going to be trapped to death, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in his ears.
Suddenly, the outline of the space shrouded in darkness gradually appeared.
As the footsteps became clearer and clearer, the light in front of him became brighter and brighter, until the intense light stimulated him to close his eyes tightly.
Then a chuckle sounded: "Are you awake?"
This tone and voice are really familiar.
"Tear~" A stinging pain came, and Li Heng felt that the tape on his mouth was being torn apart. At this time, his eyes adapted.
He raised his eyelids and saw Mei Qian standing in front of him.
"Mei, Mei Qian, what do you want to do?" he asked in a trembling voice.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't answer his words at all, but just smiled at him with a flashlight.
That laughter brought a strange echo, and because of the lighting problem, Li Heng felt that the expression on Mei Qian's face at this moment looked extremely ferocious.
He swallowed his saliva, lowered his tone, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Mei, is there any misunderstanding?"
After saying this, the other party did not reply, and the room fell into brief silence again.
After a long time, Mei Qian, who had been staring into his eyes, finally spoke: "Time is limited, let's make a long story short, what is your purpose in approaching me?"
"Close?" Li Heng's eyes widened, his face full of grievance and confusion: "Didn't you invite me to climb the mountain? Are you being unreasonable?"
Mei Qian ignored his "complaints", suppressed his smile, slowly took out a dagger, and put a flower on his hand: "What is your code name in Wuwang?"
The cold tone was like the flashing blade of a flashlight at the speed of light.
"Wuwu? What Wuwu?" Li Heng asked tremblingly.
"You know, I booked the train tickets and hotel at last minute without telling anyone. How did you know that I came to Hengcheng?" Mei Qian stared at the dagger and said slowly.
"Brother, my grandparents have been living here since they retired. I really came back to visit relatives. We met by chance." Li Heng's voice felt like he was about to cry, because the dagger in Mei Qian's hand was on him.
Wander and slide.
The feeling of the cold blade sticking close to his skin was absolutely uncomfortable, especially since he found that the places where the dagger stayed the most were his wrists and ankles.
"You and Ning Chi are both innocent people?" Mei Qian suddenly asked again.
"That's not true, brother, didn't I say it before? I've never heard of anything unreasonable." Li Heng shouted.
Mei Qian sighed, clamped the flashlight around his neck, and stretched his other hand to Li Heng's head.
Li Heng's mind lightened up and he was freed from the constraints of his head. His neck could finally move freely.
I couldn't help but let out a long breath, thinking that I had passed this level.
Unexpectedly, his arm suddenly went numb, and then he screamed out in severe pain, but it was Mei Qian's dagger that penetrated deeply into his forearm. The pain probably hurt his bones.
"Besides you, who else has Wuwang planted?" Mei Qian let go of his hand, the smile returned to his face, and asked again in a very soft voice. As he spoke, he took out a sharp dagger from his arms.
Then, Li Heng watched helplessly as the second dagger pierced his other arm.
"Brother, what are you doing? I've never heard of anything hopeless. Murder is illegal." Li Heng's expression became extremely exciting. He took a quick look and saw that this was a person who was about to collapse. How could this be possible?
The other party didn't hear a word of Qian's answer just now.
Or, no matter what the answer is, the other party doesn't care and it's just to torture him?
"Who told you that you can't tell the truth? You can only use some tricks." Mei Qian straightened up and took out a dagger from his arms.
Although the pain was severe, Li Heng couldn't help but stare at Mei Qian with an expression that looked like he was looking at a madman. Who in the normal body would carry so many daggers at one time?
Moreover, it is midsummer now, and everyone is wearing thin clothes. Are these daggers still in their arms? Aren’t they heavy?
Mei Qian weighed the dagger in his hand and asked again: "Can you answer seriously now?"
"What exactly do you want to know from me?" Li Heng, who was covered in sweat, stared at Mei Qian and asked almost word by word.
"How much do you know about Yangcheng? Have you been to the tomb?" Mei Qian still asked questions at his own pace, and reached out to roll up the other party's trouser legs.
"Are you sick? I, I don't understand what you are talking about at all..." Li Heng's eyebrows and corners of his mouth kept trembling, as if he was cramping, and he didn't know whether it was pain or anger.
It has to be said that this was an amateur "torture". Both the torturer and the person being tortured said something that was completely inconsistent with the preface and the follower. It was very uncoordinated and full of weirdness.
It seems that one is answering sincerely but does not get any positive response. The other is always talking to himself and appears to be indifferent to the answer.
And this extremely unreal conversation actually didn't last long.
"Who are you and Ning Chi? The military? The security bureau? Or the police?" Mei Qian's smile did not change, but the words he asked made Li Heng's pupils shrink suddenly.
"We are all veterans, and now we are just civilians. We are not like anyone...fuck me, Mei Qian, I ****." Li Heng cursed hysterically: "Kill me now if you can, I ****.
****" Just because the dagger in Mei Qian's hand penetrated his thigh.
Then he watched helplessly as the other party took out the fourth dagger, and as expected, the last complete leg was also penetrated.
The severe pain almost made Li Heng faint, but every time his eyes turned black, the stimulation from his limbs brought him back to reality.
After that, Mei Qian asked several more questions. Unfortunately, the tied Li Heng probably understood that no matter how hard he begged for an explanation, it would be futile in front of a madman, so he simply gritted his teeth and shut his mouth.
Mei Qian, who was holding a flashlight, had been observing the changes in the other person's expression.
Unfortunately, the other party was always glaring angrily. No matter how much he stimulated him, he just gritted his teeth and refused to speak, looking like he was begging for death.
After a long time, he sighed softly: "What a tough guy, trouble!"
Then, in Li Heng's incredulous and somewhat relieved eyes, the dagger in his hand flashed with white light and slit the opponent's throat...
------------------
"ah……"
Li Heng sat up suddenly and reached out to touch his neck.
But the touch of the palm was smooth. There was no gauze as expected, and there was no wound in memory.
His body trembled, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
Everything around him gradually became clearer, and then he noticed that he was in a very quiet room.
The red letters "Hengcheng Third Hospital" on the quilt and the strong smell of disinfectant indicated that he had been sent to the hospital.
Then he suddenly remembered something, put his hands in front of his eyes, and found to his disbelief that there were no wounds on them.
Mingming watched Mei Qian pierce his limbs with a dagger, and the pain he felt was unforgettable.
Moreover, it seemed that his throat was cut in the end, so he should be dead.
But how can we explain everything in front of us?
"Are you awake?" A brisk voice came into my ears, and then I saw Mei Qian pushing the door open with a smile.
"Is it you?" Li Heng looked at the face that made him gnash his teeth with hatred, his body trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to jump out of bed.
"What's wrong? You're not feeling well yet. Do you need to call a doctor for you?" Mei Qian walked up quickly with a concerned look on his face.
"You..." As soon as Li Heng uttered a word, he was interrupted by Mei Qian: "You hit your head and fell into a coma for a day and a night. The doctor said it was a concussion. How is it? Do you feel uncomfortable now?"
"Coma?" Li Heng was stunned for a long time before looking down at his hands again.
"I shouldn't have taken you so far, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen into the robber hole in the ancient tomb..." Mei Qian sighed, took a full lunch box from the cabinet and handed it over: "The doctor said that today you
When you wake up, I thought you hadn't eaten anything all day, so I prepared some porridge to comfort your stomach."
Li Heng took the lunch box numbly and found that the rice porridge inside was still warm. He felt that his mind was in confusion, so that in the face of Mei Qian's seemingly heartfelt worries and concerns, he couldn't help but talk.
I can't even say it out loud.
Probably because he was too silent, the expression on Mei Qian's face became even more guilty: "I have contacted the best doctor in Hengcheng and will give you a good look. I will be responsible for all expenses. After all, I took you into the mountains...
"
Li Heng: "..." He ate his porridge silently. Sorry, he doesn't want to talk now...
Li Heng was discharged from the hospital the next morning because after a doctor's examination, he had no physical problems except for some neurasthenia.
Mei Qian originally planned to send him home and apologize to his family, but he politely refused.
But Li Heng only stayed at the sanatorium where his grandparents lived for two hours before driving to Hengshan in a hurry.
He rushed to the place where he was injured in his memory, but was stopped.
It turns out that what Mei Qian told him was true, and they accidentally discovered a stolen ancient tomb.
The other party immediately contacted an archeology professor from Xiadu. The place is now under control, and the archaeological team is conducting rescue excavations.
After some thought, he finally took a look inside and found that the structure of the ancient tomb was very simple. Except for some damaged burial objects, there was indeed no stone bed where he was bound to in his memory.
Not finding any useful clues, he felt extremely complicated.
At this point, he had to admit that his experience of being tortured by Mei Qian was completely a ridiculous dream.
In fact, he was mentally prepared for this conclusion when he was hospitalized.
He even learned from many sources that it was Mei Qian who carried him down the mountain with great pains, although after investigation, he found that there was a period of time from the time they lost contact to the time Mei Qian reappeared in the eyes of the world.
But Mei Qian's explanation for getting lost was very reasonable, not to mention that he was not injured at all.
As for the torture, both the process and the conversation between the two parties were extremely weird.
As long as you are a normal person, you will not interrogate "prisoners" like that.
Moreover, he spent time with Ning Chi, so if he really wanted to interrogate him, it would not be his turn as a person he had just met.
So my memory is definitely wrong.
But people are so complicated. Although Li Heng comforted himself again and again, everything was just a nightmare.
But I still can't let it go in my heart.
After all, that memory was too real...
At night, Li Heng fell on the bed and fiddled with his phone listlessly. In fact, his mind was still thinking about the dream that something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more headache he got, so he simply threw the phone away and fell asleep.
The phone is still on, and a friend is still liking and leaving comments on the photos in his circle of friends.
On the screen, there was a photo that Li Heng had taken specifically for Mei Qian before entering Hengshan. The background was the famous stone monument in Hengshan.
After all, it is extremely rare to be able to climb a mountain with a famous writer.
In order to show off that day, Li Heng immediately posted it to Moments and added a special caption to the photo.
