The wind blew very hard at night, and the neon lights on the street began to light up one by one.
The city is very lively at night because people who have worked all day want to relax and like to go out with friends to drink and have fun to relieve the fatigue of the day.
The favorite place for young men and women to go is probably the bar.
Purple Starfish is a bar, but it is different from other bars. There is no chaos inside, it is very quiet, and the layout is very elegant. The color tone inside is mainly orange, and then paired with red and orange, the entire wall
The surface is like a palette. There are many small closets with some knickknacks hanging on it. Those knickknacks are not ordinary things. They were brought back from abroad by the bar owner’s friends and given to him, so he put them
Hang it there to add interest.
The resident singer there is a very talented person. He likes to hold the guitar or sit in front of the piano and gently play some songs that interest him. The dance floor there is very large, and the lighting and sound effects are first-rate.
, so dancing in it makes people feel happy easily.
On the gorgeous dance floor, the lights are swaying and the dance steps are swaying.
A violent DJ song is playing now, and a group of men and women are dancing to their hearts content.
There was a girl in fiery red clothes, dancing the most energetically and the most beautifully. Her red dress was like a ball of flame, which seemed to be burning, and she had a happy smile on her face.
In the past few days, Shishi has been dragging Ziyi here to play every night. Feiyang has been dragged here every time, and Jiang Qin occasionally comes to play, but because it is the peak tourist season, there are many
All plans require him to plan, so he is usually not available.
Shishi wanted to come here to work because she said staying at home was too boring. Ziyi and Shishi passed the test and became data clerks of the Leng Group. Because Jiang Qin asked them to go out to dispatch orders.
It was too hard, and the company's business was very busy right now, and there happened to be two people missing to organize the information, so they were asked to fill the gap.
superior
The girl in red clothes in front of her is Shishi. She is dancing to the music on the dance floor at the moment. Because she is a person who likes to dance and be lively, and Ziyi is the best friend she knows now.
So I always drag Ziyi along. Although Ziyi doesn't like places that are too noisy, it's not very noisy here. It's quieter than ordinary bars, and she also feels lonely when she's alone at home.
Ziyi just sat down, staring blankly at the glass of lemon juice in front of her. She glanced over and saw Feiyang looking deeply ahead. She rolled her eyes, walked over gently, and then suddenly
She put her mouth to his ear and said loudly: "Why are you so dazed?"
Feiyang jumped up and saw Ziyi. He couldn't laugh or cry and said, "What are you doing?"
"Hehe, I'm teasing you, why don't you go up there and play."
"I don't like it too much."
"Didn't Shishi say that you often come with her?"
"That's because there is nothing we can do. She is the eldest lady who is the best at grinding people. Ever since I became her senior, I have been eaten to death by her." Feiyang felt a little headache when he heard about this junior sister.
He rubbed his forehead.
"Do you have a headache?" Ziyi asked with concern.
"A bit, why don't we go out and enjoy the breeze." Feiyang said to Ziyi after looking at Shishi who was dancing vigorously.
"Okay, I just happened to be too busy." Ziyi clapped her hands and said. She waved to Shishi on the stage, and then they walked out of the bar.
Walking on the street, the night wind blew in my face. Although it still carried a hint of heat, it also felt light and refreshing on my face.
It is already half past eight in the evening, and many places are crowded with people and very lively.
Ziyi looked at the stalls on the street, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She turned to Feiyang and said, "Are you hungry? How about we go get some snacks? I know there is a night market not far from here."
Feiyang looked at her and was slightly stunned. Why did her eyes look so similar to that little girl?
"Feiyang?"
Feiyang came back to his senses and realized that Zi Yi was looking at him expectantly.
"Okay." He nodded.
She grabbed his hand excitedly. Her fingers were slightly cool and a little wet, probably from sweat.
He had never been held by a girl like this before. His hand felt like an electric shock. He just wanted to withdraw it quickly, but looking at the innocent smile on her face, he felt like he couldn't even breathe.
Ziyi didn't notice so much. She just felt so happy because someone was accompanying her to the night market. She had gone there with her cousin the first time she came here.
There are many snacks there, such as "bald man" dumplings, stinky tofu, fried field snails, and Ziyi's favorite fried steamed buns.
When Ziyi looked at those small stalls, she would run up to them excitedly, and then drag Feiyang to eat with her. She ate almost all the time alone. Feiyang also liked to eat these things when he was little, and he knew what was delicious.
He can give her good advice on what doesn't taste good. But his stomach can't stand the stimulation. So he eats less. He always thoughtfully holds paper towels, drinking water and other small items for Ziyi.
After Ziyi had eaten enough, they set off to the next stall.
"Feiyang, your stomach really can't handle these things?" Ziyi asked Feiyang while holding a kebab in her hand and biting it.
"Yes, because my family was poor when I was young, and I didn't have enough to eat for a while, so I got stomach problems. The doctor said you shouldn't be too stimulated, otherwise it will cause stomach cancer." Ziyang looked at Ziyi with affection.
, regardless of whether the girl in front of him was someone he had been looking for for more than ten years, but just during the time he spent with her, he had slowly fallen in love with her and naturally cared about her.
"Hey, it's so serious. How pitiful you are. You can't even eat such delicious food."
"It's delicious to you, but maybe to me, only rice is delicious." Feiyang smiled and handed her a paper handkerchief.
"Hehe, that's right. Because boys generally don't like eating these things. Only girls are greedy."
"No, it's just that we boys are willing to eat dinner and feel full."
"Ha, do you mean I won't eat dinner?"
"I didn't name him by name, you just want to think so." Feiyang said with a smile.
"Ah, how about we go sit there?" Ziyi looked at the musical fountain in the square and pulled Feiyang over.
Because it was night now, the fountain was not open, and there was only a pool of water in the pool. Under the light of the lights, small patches of light shone. Ziyi walked over, and there seemed to be many white and golden fish in it.
Flow. She sat on the edge of the pool and fiddled with the water surface with her fingers. The water had a cold feeling, which made people feel cool in this hot summer.
Suddenly, a fish slipped through her fingers. It was slippery and ticklish, and she giggled.
Feiyang was looking ahead when he heard her laughter. He turned around and saw Ziyi reaching out to catch the fish in the water. He also became interested and reached out to catch the fish. Ziyi became even more energetic,
She simply took off her shoes and socks and stood in the water. The cold smell made her shiver, but she felt very comfortable. The fish was so frightened by these two people that it ran towards the center of the water.
Ziyi got addicted to catching, and chased her, but she never thought that there was deep water inside. She was not careful, and fell into the water with a plop, and all the water rushed into her mouth and nose. She couldn't swim,
Being choked by the water, he just yelled: "Help!" and sank to the bottom of the water.
Feiyang didn't react at first, thinking she was joking, but seeing her sinking deeper and deeper, he became a little panicked. Another figure on the shore jumped ahead of him like lightning.
Leng Chen walked briskly on the street alone. The night wind brought a slightly cool feeling to him. He didn't drive because he wanted to walk and look at the stars and lights.
Now he is in a very happy mood, humming a little tune and planning to go to Zihaixing. He hasn't been there for several days, and he doesn't know what the "foolish friends" his brothers call him have done to his bar.
But that's okay, because he is in a good mood today, and he won't be angry even if those people make a mess.
Because his brother gave him a good job today, asking him to inspect a small island to see if it is suitable for development into a scenic spot. The company executives believe that now is the peak tourist season and it is summer, which is very suitable for beach tourism.
, so they all planned to create a series about the beach to attract tourists. He would be responsible for the specific arrangements. This was the first time he had completed a project by himself, so he had to plan it carefully.
When passing the musical fountain in Tianxin Square, he stopped.
Because he saw the girl in the white T-shirt, with her trousers rolled up, fishing for something in the pool. The light shone on her innocent and flawless face, giving off a faint glow.
Her face was pure and innocent, with a holy brilliance that made him, who originally wanted to say hello to her, not want to break the beautiful atmosphere. But suddenly, he saw the figure of the boy behind her.
While he was still in shock, something unexpected happened.
Ziyi suddenly missed the mark and fell into the pool. The splash startled him, and when he heard her cry for help, Leng Chen felt that every cell in his body was frightened.
, a kind of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.
At that time, all he knew was that he instinctively wanted to save people. Then, without even having time to think, he jumped into the water.
Ziyi felt that her breathing was becoming more and more difficult, her nose was blocked, and the surrounding water began to pour into her mouth. Although she closed her mouth tightly, she still couldn't make herself feel better. Then
A suffocating feeling, very similar to the feeling in that dream when she was almost submerged in the sea. Am I going to die? Gradually, she lost the strength to struggle, and her head was suffering from lack of oxygen. Even this idea was only vague.
The real feeling of suffocation was like when she was drowning in a dream, except that someone came to save her in the dream, but now, it seemed that no one came to save her.
Just when she gave up her struggle and was about to let the water submerge her, a strong arm pulled her. Already exhausted, she suddenly became energetic and her survival instinct made her hold on to that hand tightly.
She used all her strength, fearing that if she exerted less force, she would be washed away by the water. Dimly, she opened her eyes and saw a pair of bright eyes, which looked very much like the boy who saved her every time in her dreams.
, she desperately opened her eyes to see clearly, but her eyelids became heavier and heavier and she could not open them more and more.
"Who are you?" she murmured.
Gradually, she felt like she was on a beach, just like in a dream, so beautiful and moving.
And she was lying quietly on the ground. Next to her, there was a woman who looked similar to her. She was looking at her tenderly and basking in the beautiful sun with her. Then, it seemed that they could stay together forever.
It's like staying there...
"Ziyi! Ziyi!"
There seemed to be a voice coming from a distant place, asking her to come back from such a beautiful environment.
She slowly moved her eyelashes, then opened her eyes, and saw two anxious faces.
But she just stared at Leng Chen blankly. His eyes were so anxious and bright, with a worried look on his face. Suddenly she grabbed him and said excitedly: "Is it you? Is it really you?"
Leng Chen looked confused.
Feiyang looked worried and annoyed.
Ziyi tightly grasped the lapel of his clothes and looked at him closely, as if she had found a treasure she had been looking for for many years.
Feiyang looked at the expression on Ziyi's face. On her forehead, which was soaked by water, her hair was pushed to one side. On it, there was a faint red mark, which was very similar to the one Chu Chu had when she fell on the beach and was hit by a stone.
His heart was greatly shocked, and he suddenly grabbed her and asked, "Is it true that your surname is not Chu?"
Ziyi pushed Feiyang away. She couldn't hear any words or feel anything now. Her chest was heaving violently. In her dreams for so many years, those eyes were so bright, every time
In her dreams, she always wanted to know the person who saved her, but she could always only see that person's eyes, so bright and lively, looking at her so tenderly.
And now, those eyes, and the owner of those eyes, appeared in front of her so clearly, how could she not be excited?
She had always thought that it was impossible to have such a pair of eyes in reality, and it was impossible for such a person to save her, but now, the fact was before her.
Leng Chen looked at the dripping Ziyi, frowned and said, "You must go back and change clothes quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold tomorrow."
Ziyi stood up immediately, looked at him eagerly, and said, "Have you ever saved me at the beach? Really?"
Leng Chen had an impossible look on his face and looked her up and down: "I rescued you at the beach? How is it possible? I have never seen you except at the station."
"We haven't known each other for a long time, how could it be possible?" She lowered her head and said softly.
The power that supported her came out. She suddenly lost all her strength, fell down and was about to fall. Leng Chen held her up.
She murmured to herself: "Yes, before this, you have never seen me, and I have never seen you, but why, your eyes are so familiar to me, why do I always feel that the person in my dream is there?"
The person who saved me at the beach was you. That feeling is so real."
"Okay, don't Hu En think about it, go back and change clothes quickly." Leng Chen looked at Ziyi's thin body, worried that she would catch a cold if she wore wet clothes that night and was exposed to the wind.
"Impossible, impossible." Ziyi yelled holding her head, thinking hard all the time. She seemed to have caught some fragments, but in just a moment, those fragments disappeared without a trace as when they came.
She bit her lip and suddenly said, "Ah, my head hurts so much!" She felt like her head was starting to feel dizzy.
"Ziyi, how are you?" Feiyang felt as if his heartbeat had missed a beat. She just said that she had been rescued at the beach, does that mean she has had experience at the beach?
Ziyi then raised her head, saw Feiyang's worried face, and smiled: "It's okay, I just felt like I had forgotten some very important things. When I was thinking about them, those things were in my head.
It spun around, but before I could think of it, it flew away again."
"What did you say you remembered?" Feiyang's heart was raised, and his excitement made him tremble a little when he spoke, and he almost grabbed her shoulders.
His heart suddenly jumped, and an idea flashed through his mind: maybe, maybe she was Chu Chu, just because of amnesia. Thinking of this idea, he felt that his heartbeat was about to stop beating.
"I don't know, I can't remember." Zi Yi frowned slightly.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore. Let's go back and change clothes quickly." Leng Chen touched her cold little hand and interrupted the two of them.
"Yeah." Ziyi nodded.
Feiyang looked at Ziyi's shivering face, and the thought just now was just flowing in his heart.
Ziyi looked at the two boys and suddenly thought of Shishi. She guessed that she was still playing there, so she said to Feiyang: "Feiyang, go pick Shishi back up. It's so late, she should be looking for us."
Already."
Leng Chen answered the conversation and said to Feiyang: "Yes, I will just send her back. You go pick up your friend."
"I'm fine. You go pick up Shishi. I'm not worried about her walking at night as a girl so late."
Feiyang looked at Ziyi's expression and knew he couldn't defeat her, so he nodded: "Then you go back and take a hot shower immediately to avoid catching a cold."
"Well, I know."
"Then I'm leaving." Feiyang took a deep look at Ziyi, waved to them, and hailed a taxi.
The "wandering ghost" old woman came to see me early the next morning. I walked out of the room and saw Meng Tianze standing at the door, with his right hand clenched tightly. I knew there was a ring inside without even guessing. When my mother-in-law wasn't paying attention, I took it.
It took it over, and it was considered to be helping people to the end. I don't know if this kid knows about "repaying a favor".
We went back to our adoptive father's room this time and followed the old woman there. Our adoptive father was sitting on a big chair with his back to us as before. When we approached him, he waved to the old woman to go out and she closed the door.
He went out quietly.
"Father, when can we go out!" Damn! I didn't expect him to say such nonsense suddenly, as if he was about to be driven crazy by this place, and his voice was very loud.
"Young man, don't be impatient. Everything I do is for your own good, well..." He paused, as if thinking about something, "If you want to go out, you must walk through all the rooms underground.
One day you will understand why, remember my words and never forget them."
"What? It's all over!" This time it was both of us shouting together. I was frightened by him, and probably Meng Tianze was the same. As soon as I looked at the densely packed map, I knew that this place was in a mess. It was like a big
The labyrinth, not to mention the shabby map is of no great use at all. It is so tattered that it is almost useless. Moreover, there are so many connected rooms here. How can we deal with the situation like yesterday?
"I know what you are thinking," his adoptive father's voice broke the silence of the room. "In fact, you don't have to be discouraged. You will slowly find that this place is very interesting.
I'm serious, young people, and you must pay attention... you must make good use of the ring in your hand. It is not a decoration or display, understand?" I lowered my head and glanced at the ring, and it was still the same.
It was so bright. It would not be wrong to say that it was a decoration. My eyes were suddenly attracted by the ring on my adoptive father's finger. It was so big and bright. The black color seemed to be full of mystery and reflected the light of the candle.
, appears more eye-catching.
"You two, come here. I have a letter here. Keep it. Remember, keep it completely and never throw it away. Only open it when you need it. This... Tianze, you
Put it away!" His adoptive father gave us a letter very abruptly. The letter was sealed tightly, and I always had the urge to open it, and I don't know why.
"There are still some things you need to explore on your own, so work hard! Young people have a bright future! Haha!" He said this very naturally and relaxedly. I poked Meng Tianze and laughed quietly with him.
He said: "Hey, why do you think your adoptive father is giving his last words and preparing for the funeral? Haha!" "Die!" He glared at me fiercely, I was just joking, I know he loves
His adoptive father loves him so much that we can't afford to offend him.
He talked a lot to us, some of which I could understand and some of which I couldn't. But Meng Tianze listened with great interest. I didn't even know how many times he went on a mission. After he finished talking, we went out.
We had a small meeting far away from his door (for fear of him hearing it).
"You go back and get ready, we'll leave in a minute!"
"What? Where are you going? Are you trying to escape? It's useless." I was startled by him and looked very surprised.
"Idiot! Of course we are going for a walk. Don't forget what your adoptive father said. We can only go out after walking through the room we are using. Do you want to stay in this ghost place for the rest of your life? Leave the bones here again? But
No one will bury you!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room.
Huh, why is it so bad? At worst, I will just stay here. Anyway, I don’t know where I came from. Damn it! I left just like that!
I quickly followed him. He took the map and carefully looked at each of the densely packed rooms. We opened a door and found that the layout inside was a little different, but it was still basically the same, a bed,
There are a few boxes and a few decorative paintings, but the style is not so elegant, and there is a little lively flavor in it. Wow, it feels like a chocolate dessert. Isn't this house just right for me to live in?
"Girl, do you think this house is custom-made for people like you?"
"Ha, yes!" I'm very happy. It's not easy. We still have the same interests.
"I said, no wonder you are so dull!"
"Go to hell!" I slammed the door shut with a "bang" sound.
"Are you mistaken? This door is very expensive. It doesn't matter if you break your hand. Don't break the door!"
I wish I could strangle him to death! Oh, forget it, murder must be paid with life.
He promoted several houses in front of him, and the results were almost the same. Only the interior wallpapers, floors, and decorative paintings were in different styles.
"After working on it for a long time, why does this place look like a hotel?" I felt a little bored, so I started to complain with my hands on my waist.
"Oh, it must be a funeral parlor!"
Ah? Dead man!
The house he pushed open was similar to the others, and what was lying on the ground was...
"Ah!" I was suddenly frightened and hid behind him, not daring to come out. He walked in and put his finger in front of the man's nose.
"I'm out of breath!" He turned around and told me calmly. My face turned green with fright at that time.
"Hey, are you okay? I've never seen a dead person before!" At this time, he still had time to shout. I shook my head desperately, but he ignored him at all and walked around the person several times, as if he was
Looking for something.
After a while, I felt much better. Although I still didn't understand the situation clearly, I had a rough impression.
"Meng Tianze, how do you think he died?"
"Then you still have to ask, isn't it easy to kill someone in such a big place?"
"But who is he? Why do you want to kill him?" I dared to look at that man this time. He seemed to have a ferocious facial expression, as if he had struggled before death. His eyes were not closed, and he was lying on the ground with something on his chest.
There was a blood stain in the shape of an "S", and the clothes were very simple and plain. I always felt that the clothes looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them before.
"Girl, go find your adoptive father!" He seemed to feel that something was a little bit wrong, so he became a little nervous.
"Hey, aren't you afraid? Why are you nervous? You are afraid of death!"
"Are you done? Go if you are told to go, or believe it or not, I will throw you here!" He seemed to be really angry this time. I was really afraid that I would be here. I had no choice but to listen to him.
I went back and went out to find my adoptive father. Not long after I walked out of the house, I met the old lady. My eyes flashed and I was suddenly startled.
The clothes that person was wearing just now seemed similar to hers, couldn't they be...
"Where is my adoptive father?" I didn't care, I grabbed her and started asking.
"What's wrong?" She wanted to laugh when she saw me like this.
"I asked where is your adoptive father? Something happened!"
"What can happen? Master, he's not here!" She was quite relaxed, not knowing that I was in a hurry.
"He's dead!" I let go of my hand, suddenly feeling a little impulsive.
"What? Where is it?" Her eyes widened, and her mood suddenly became excited, which was very different from before. I saw that the thick layer of makeup on her face was about to fall off.
I grabbed her and ran to that room. The door was closed. I pushed the door open and suddenly found that something was missing inside.
Meng Tianze?
"Hey, he's gone!" I shouted at the old lady.
She didn't seem to hear me at all and walked straight towards the corpse. "Mu Tong? How could this happen? How could it be done? How could this happen?" Her face immediately turned ugly.
