ghost face

It was nearly 10 noon when Zhao Xuefeng woke up from the bed.Zhao Meng was the first to notice him waking up.He ran outside, calling for doctors and nurses.

"Looking at it now, the patient's condition is finally stable." After checking Zhao Xuefeng's various indicators, the doctor signaled to Zhao Xuefeng's family members. "As long as he rests well afterwards, I believe he will recover soon. After all, he just bled too much, but none of the wounds hurt his organs, so it's not a big problem."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor." Zhao Xuefeng's parents quickly thanked them, and then followed the doctor out.

"Zhao Meng, look at Xuefeng. It's almost noon, and your father and I will get you something to eat." Before leaving, Zhao's mother turned her head and instructed.

"Okay, leave it to me." Zhao Meng nodded.

Then only Zhao Xuefeng and Zhao Meng were left in the room again.It's different from yesterday when I woke up and made a lot of noise.This time Zhao Xuefeng seemed to open his eyes and realized that he had returned to the real world.

"Brother..." He called his brother next to him wearily.Although he fell into a coma twice in succession, in fact, his spirit has not been relaxed for two days.

"I'm here." Zhao Meng was sitting on the chair next to Zhao Xuefeng's bed.

"Yesterday, I dreamed of you again." Zhao Xuefeng blinked his eyes lightly.

Zhao Meng knew that what he said dreamed of himself was referring to another self who would kill in his dream.

"Also, do you still remember the stage I mentioned?" Zhao Xuefeng looked at the ceiling, where it was all white. "There's a man in a blue raincoat over there. I saw him yesterday."

"Did you see...his face?" Zhao Meng remembered this clip, as if saying that he couldn't see the faces of the people on the stage.

"En." Zhao Xuefeng nodded, "I saw it."

"..." Zhao Meng didn't know how to reply.I can only say, "Is that scene still in the dream?"

"No. When we walked out of the hospital, I was dragged into a dream for an instant, and returned to the ward where we left." Zhao Xuefeng smiled bitterly, "Then I saw you there, and I ran to Killed you. But when I found out that something was wrong with you, I had already been hacked." His arm slowly raised, covering his eyes. "I thought I was just chasing him in this hospital, but the man in the blue raincoat appeared."

"..."

"That man has the same face as mine."

Zhao Meng took a deep breath, and only felt goose bumps all over his body.How terrifying is this, did my brother just escape from death and experience such a night?

"Brother, I'm so tired." Afterwards, Zhao Xuefeng lowered his arm covering his eyes.Then he grabbed Zhao Meng's hand. "very tired."

"I know, Xuefeng. Persist a little longer, just a little longer." Zhao Meng patted the back of his hand. "You still have me and Mom and Dad, you can't give up."

Zhao Meng knew what Zhao Xuefeng meant by crying tired.

"And, don't you still have books?" Zhao Meng's expression was very sad, he knew how difficult it was for Zhao Xuefeng to survive all this time.And there will be such a long time in the future, but now it hurts like this. "Brother, I beg you. When we really can't hold on. Let's use the book together. It's not just you, I will use it with you."

"Bear each other's sins together, I won't let you bear it alone. So, use it with less psychological burden!"

But Zhao Xuefeng bit his head and replied clearly.

"No."

"Why on earth are you—" Zhao Meng stood up excitedly. "Why are you so disobedient!?"

Zhao Xuefeng just looked at his brother like this, and answered silently.

Zhao Meng, on the other hand, was really annoyed by his appearance.Just as he was about to speak, a phone rang in the room.This startled the sensitive two, and Zhao Xuefeng shrank directly into the quilt.And Zhao Meng looked around, and finally remembered.

"I forgot. Dad lent me his mobile phone temporarily this morning." Zhao Meng heaved a sigh of relief, obviously also frightened before.

Taking out the phone, the screen displayed an unfamiliar call.Zhao Meng answered the phone hesitantly.

"Hey?"

"Hello, is this Zhao Meng?" A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes." Zhao Meng asked suspiciously, "Are you—?"

"Hi, I'm Zhang Wenya, Zhao Xuefeng's classmate. I saw the news about Xuefeng's hospital in the morning, so I was a little worried and called Xuefeng." The girl explained on the phone. "But no one answered. So, I called my classmate Luli Xuefeng's mother, and she told me to make this call. Excuse me, is Xuefeng there?"

"He's here." Zhao Meng pushed Xuefeng who was shrunk under the quilt and said, "Your call is from Zhang Wenya."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuefeng stuck his head out, and took the phone with one hand.

Seeing his younger brother's shy look, Zhao Meng knew that this was the person his younger brother liked.He walked out of the ward wisely.

When he came to the corridor, he felt a little irritable about Xuefeng's future days.Although Zhao Meng really wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve the pressure, the hospital banned smoking.So he walked to the safe passage, but before he opened the door and entered, he saw a shocking scene.A pair of eyes pressed against the glass window of the escape passage.

"!" Zhao Meng immediately gave up the idea of ​​going in, and when he turned around and walked back, he couldn't help turning his head to look again.Those eyes were gone. "Crazy?" Zhao Meng muttered to herself, but she became a little vigilant.

He simply sat on the bench outside Zhao Xuefeng's ward, not even thinking about smoking just now.Sitting outside the door for a long time, Zhao Meng could only vaguely hear Zhao Xuefeng in the ward, who seemed to be talking to him in a very happy tone.Then he laughed happily.

"Ah, I laughed." Zhao Meng was also infected and smiled in relief. "As long as you smile, that's fine."

By the time his parents arrived, Zhao Xuefeng's phone call had ended.The family of four sat around Zhao Xuefeng's hospital bed drinking porridge like this, the picture of the mother wiping Zhao Xuefeng's mouth to blame, the picture of the father laughing and talking about interesting things that happened recently, Zhao Xuefeng's expression of displeasure and helplessness, and his calm expression. Looking at all these pictures, Zhao Meng felt at ease.Perhaps at this moment, they are all happy and happy.

A smile appeared on Zhao Xuefeng's face again.I couldn't help the tears in my eyes.

"You child, how can you still cry while eating?" Mother Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped away Zhao Xuefeng's tears.

"I didn't cry!" Zhao Xuefeng grabbed the handkerchief and wiped his eyes a few times.He drank the porridge in one gulp.

"Drink slowly, don't choke." Dad Zhao hurriedly instructed.

"By the way, I'll buy you two a new mobile phone later." Mother Zhao suddenly remembered that her two sons lost their mobile phones. "It's inconvenient to contact without a mobile phone. Also, Zhao Meng, are you really okay if you don't go to work today? Have you contacted the leader in advance?"

"Not yet, I will ask for leave later. But I have to go in the afternoon." Zhao Meng took over a case before, and it has been delayed for a day, so he thought about it and said. "I'll go to the company to get the materials and work here."

"Don't." Zhao Ma shook her head quickly. "There are me and your dad in the hospital. If you are like this, your leaders will definitely have problems with you."

"Yeah, your job is already very busy. Anyway, your mother and I have retired and have nothing to do, and we have plenty of time. Don't worry if you leave it to us." Zhao's father also echoed.

"Then...then I'll come over at night." Zhao Meng thought for a while, and only at night did horrible things happen.He nodded in agreement.

After finishing the porridge quickly, Zhao Meng put on his suit and prepared to leave.And Zhao Ma also stood up and said.

"I went to buy mobile phones for them, old man, you are alone with your son first."

"Okay, I promise to complete the leadership task!" Dad Zhao made a salute gesture as he said.

In the room, I laughed again.

……

In the afternoon, a well-dressed and handsome man walked into a stationery store.He wears a pair of sunglasses on his face.

"Excuse me, sir, what do you want to buy?" The owner of the stationery store stood up from his seat at the counter.

"Sir, I have an impertinent request." As he spoke, the man took out a crumpled letter from his pocket. "My sister bought a letter from you a few days ago."

"Uh... I don't quite understand what you mean?" The boss looked at the man strangely.

"It's like this. She ran away from home a few days ago. She eloped with someone. Then I want to call your surveillance camera and take a picture to post on the Internet. I don't know if it's okay?" The man took off his glasses while talking , just bowed to the person in front of him. "please!"

"Hey, let me take a look at that." The owner of the stationery store still looked at Xiao Shuai with some doubts.Then he took the letter on the table and examined it carefully.

Indeed, he had the same style of envelopes in his shop.After obtaining the man's consent, the owner of the stationery store opened the letter and read the contents.The letter paper is a very ordinary white paper, but the content written on it is similar to what the man said.

"Children now, tsk tsk!" The owner of the stationery store looked at it and shook his head.

"I don't know if I can take a look at the surveillance." The man said sincerely, and his red eyes proved that he had been crying for a long time.

"Can I ask, what is your relationship with that person?" The stationery shop owner looked at him suspiciously.

"She is... my sister." The man paused, then sighed. "Today, the family has a lot of quarrels about this matter."

"Then doesn't she have a photo? Why not look for a higher-resolution photo at home?" The boss returned the letter in his hand to the man.

"In fact, she wasn't there when we woke up, and we don't know what clothes she was wearing today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to ask." The man looked helpless.Then added: "So please let me watch the surveillance video, I can recognize it just by looking at it."

"Hmm... okay." Although the owner of the stationery store still felt very strange, he thought it was just a surveillance video, and he had no other reason to refuse.Just give him a look.

"She left this morning. So can I watch the video from yesterday or this morning?" The man leaned over and asked.

"Well, good. But how do you know she bought it from me?"

"I asked from family to family." The man replied simply, "And my parents are looking for her on the street now, so I can only go to the nearby stationery store to see if there is any clue."

"Have you called the police?"

"No. Isn't it forbidden to call the police if you have been missing for more than 48 hours?"

"Ah, yes."

After clicking on the monitoring for the past few days, both the boss and the man are watching carefully.

"This, this is it!" The man suddenly pointed to a girl in a pink dress in the picture and said, "The one holding the envelope is her."

"Okay, I pressed pause."

Things were much simpler afterwards, the man took out his phone and took several photos in succession.He put on his sunglasses and thanked him and left.

"I hope you find her soon." When leaving, the owner of the stationery store said.

The man paused, then turned his head and smiled, "Sure."

Walking on the busy streets, there are no longer discrimination and mocking eyes and words around.His black hair and smart attire gave him a whole new look.When passing by the optical shop, he went in and bought a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with no prescription.After replacing his original sunglasses, he looks even more different now than before.

"Social elite?" The man looked at himself in the mirror in the optical shop, and smiled.On the contrary, it made the already somewhat handsome face become more handsome.

[Isn't the difference just a piece of skin? ]

Without the sloppy demeanor and non-mainstream blue hair, he is Xiao Shuai.A self that is no longer the same, but not myself.

"Is this you?" Xiao Shuai looked at the woman on the phone screen, the woman in the pink dress. "I will also let you taste the pain, don't let me be too disappointed."
