It was around eight o'clock in the evening at a basketball court in Kangding.
A woman wearing a white down jacket sat on the bench. The person who came was Zhuzhu, whom she hadn't seen for a few months. She was holding a plastic bag in her hand and was looking around.
The street lights were on, and there were quite a few people on the court. A group of middle school students were playing ball, shouting and drinking.
I am currently on a residential building across from me. From my place, I can just see everything about the stadium.
The phone rang, I picked it up and said, "Hello."
Zhuzhu said: "Brother Xiang, I have arrived at the basketball court. Where are you? I didn't see you."
"Oh, I'm stuck in traffic, I'll be there soon."
"By the way Zhuzhu, I have a question that I'm very curious about, so I want to ask you?"
"what is the problem?"
I looked at her on the court from a distance and said: "What can you get by believing in the Climbing God? Is the Climbing God really a god? Can it give you endless money, or can it make you immortal?"
"Brother Xiang, what do you mean by this? What are you talking about?"
Zhuzhu sat on the recliner with a puzzled look on her face.
I said, "Don't pretend, Zhuzhu. I know it's you. It was you from the beginning. I asked someone to investigate and found that you were indeed an intern at Congtaichung Hospital in Handan."
"Do you still remember what happened that day?"
"On the day of the Buddha Festival, I suffered from severe altitude sickness and almost died. Then I went out to buy medicine to treat altitude sickness. The strange thing is... I have never used the medicine since I bought it."
"I'm just confused. Even a man in his 70s doesn't have high reflexes. Why does it happen to me?"
I held up my cell phone and recalled: "I drank a bottle of water that day and bought it at the canteen. As a doctor, you naturally have something to do. It was you who did it."
"Also, you showed up in time to save me."
"We took you to dinner at noon. You specially ordered a Rhodiola rosea stewed chicken, and you enthusiastically helped me pick up the vegetables and asked me to eat more. But Rhodiola rosea is a special medicine for treating the sequelae of high altitude sickness. I don't understand.
, since you want to harm me, why do you want to save me?"
"Zhuzhu, I know you are observing everything secretly. If I hadn't taken the initiative to cooperate with Wu Shixun in acting, you might not have agreed to show up today, right?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhuzhu was silent.
I saw her stand up from the recliner from a distance, patted her sleeves, and then giggled. She laughed for a long time, which was scary.
She held up her mobile phone and said with a smile: "Brother! I thought I didn't show any flaws, but I didn't expect that you would find out all this. I'm afraid I will have to look at you with admiration in the future."
"I saved you because you were useful, and you did not disappoint me. You got rid of Qiyuecun for me."
I frowned and asked, "Why? Aren't you in the same group?"
Zhuzhu's giggles came again, and she laughed and said: "Who told you that he and I are in the same group? Not only are we not in the same group, we are also enemies. His goal is to revive the Dangxiang clan, but the Dangxiang clan has perished.
The clan has been around for seven or eight hundred years, and there are almost no purebred Dangxiang people now. You know Fuxia, right?"
"That girl, it was I who led her to believe in the God of Climbing in the first place. I asked her to follow Qiyue Crawling in order to find an opportunity to strike. I didn't expect that she failed to live up to her expectations, and in the end she was played to death by the protector under Qiyue Crawling.
"
"You asked me just now, what can the climbing god give me?"
"Brother, where should you be looking at me now, right? Then look at me, how old am I now?"
I said: "Twenty-two, you said it before."
Zhuzhu giggled again after hearing this.
"Twenty-two? Actually, my real age this year... is almost fifty."
I clutched my phone tightly and thought: Impossible, this is impossible! Fifty years old? How can a fifty year old look like he is in his early twenties?
Hearing my silence, Zhuzhu smiled and said: "I was born in 1957. If you don't believe me, come here. Let's meet. I'll let you see my ID card and you'll believe me."
She no longer laughed, but said in a deep voice: "This is the reward given to me by the climbing god. In fact, the corpse wax collected by the Sherpas in the red pine forest finally came into my hands. I only need to apply it once a day.
My face will always be this young face."
"Do you think I have a cute face? My skin is fair, I can break it, and I'm well-behaved. Men like this kind of face."
I took a deep breath and asked, "Does Marjane's death have anything to do with you?"
Zhuzhu smiled and said: "You are moving too slowly. If that woman dies, you can move faster. Don't be angry. As long as you believe in climbing gods like me, imagine a girl like that, like Fu Xia,
They are all within easy reach! If you wave your hand, they will crawl to your feet like dogs."
I lit the cigarette and took a puff, held my phone, and said with red eyes: "There are some things I still don't understand, but I don't want to ask anymore. Zhuzhu, you are wrong. Marzhen is not a dog, and neither is Fuxia. They are both
If there are people who love them, please remember to apologize to them."
After saying that, I hung up the phone and looked at the basketball court coldly.
At this moment, a basketball rolled to Zhuzhu's feet, and a young man with dyed yellow hair ran after the ball.
"Sister! Can you let me go? I'll pick up the basketball."
Zhuzhu frowned and moved out of the way, wanting to leave quickly.
But the next second, the little yellow hair suddenly covered Zhuzhu's mouth from behind. Without thinking, he took out a knife and stabbed her directly in the chest!
They stabbed each other more than a dozen times without stopping. There was blood on the blades. Many people on the playground saw this scene and shouted in horror: "A murderer! Someone killed a murderer!"
Letting go of her hand, Zhuzhu lay down weakly.
Xiao Huangmao threw away the bloody knife and squatted on the ground expressionlessly, holding his head in his hands.
I can still see her from a distance, her head tilted toward me, twitching, coughing, and blood bubbles coming out around her mouth.
The big thangka fell out of the plastic bag and scattered half of it. A large amount of blood soaked the surface of the thangka. The lion head Yama embroidered on it was stained with human blood, as if it had come to life, with its teeth exposed and its face ferocious.
Zhuzhu coughed for a minute or two, and finally her eyes widened, looking at me with reluctance.
I threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out, closed the window, turned around and left.
After going downstairs, I found the nearest food stall and sat down, ordered a bottle of beer and waited. Not long after, police sirens blared, and Xiao Huangmao was directly put on a hood and arrested. At the same time, 120 also carried out a stretcher covered with white cloth.
.
The cell phone rang in my pocket.
Just listen to a man over there say: "Little brother, it should be done now."
"It's done, please, Brother Zhang."
"No trouble, haha, I have to say, I really didn't see it before, little brother, you are so cruel."
"No Brother Zhang, it's just a personal grudge. Are you trustworthy?"
"Reliable, don't worry, little brother, he doesn't know who you are. It is our consistent principle to use money to help others to eliminate disasters. Don't worry about this."
"Approximately how many years will he be sentenced?"
"Haha, why, little brother, are you still worried about him?"
"What else is possible? One life for another. Huang Mao has a younger brother who has leukemia. A kidney transplant costs 300,000 yuan. He will kill anyone who gives him 300,000 yuan, and he will definitely keep it secret. We often do this.
, this is how we usually operate.”
"Brother Zhang, I am paying an extra 100,000 yuan for nutritional expenses. Please send me a message."
"What message do you want to send?"
I thought for a while and finally said: "It's okay, just say thank you for me."
