Night Cry
At 12 o'clock midnight, the cold air swept across Ding Lidong's face and he couldn't help shivering.
Li Dong works in a 24-hour supermarket and gets off work almost every day at midnight. On his way home, he passes a bridge over the moat. At night, the moat is as black as a plate of ink. Every time he walks here , Ding Lidong would speed up his pace and try to pass as quickly as possible.
Today, he quickened his pace as usual, however, he vaguely saw a blurry figure standing on the bridge.
Ding Lidong said to himself, "Don't look anymore, just keep moving forward." However, another curious thought in his mind prompted him to look at the blurry figure.
A low and sad sob came with the cold wind, and Ding Lidong's hair stood up. But when he listened carefully, he found that it was a woman who was on the phone, saying something in a crying voice.
Ding Lidong saw her frail figure moving towards the bridge. Then, he seemed to hear the woman's phone being hung up, because he saw her hand holding the phone slowly drop from her ear to her chest. Next to the legs.
Next, before Ding Lidong could react, he saw the thin figure jump from the bridge and fall into the river.
Ding Lidong rushed to the river where the woman had jumped into and jumped in as well. He searched for the woman in the dark water and then dragged her to the surface with all his strength. After carrying the woman to shore, Ding Lidong let her lie flat on the ground. The woman's entire body was soaked, and her long, wet hair covered most of her face.
"You are so young, why do you have to be like this?" Ding Lidong said to her with a tone that was half sympathetic and half reproachful. This woman reminded him vaguely of something in the past. Only he knew why he was so angry.
“It makes no difference who leaves,” the woman said.
"What do you mean 'it doesn't matter who leaves'?" At this moment, a certain memory in Ding Lidong's mind seemed to be suddenly struck by an electric current.
"It doesn't matter which of us leaves, you stay!" The woman who was lying down suddenly sat up, her voice was shrill and piercing. Her long wet hair dripped with water drops, and her lips were as white as a piece of paper. Ding Lidong then screamed out of fear and out of control.
"Liu Yiyi, it's you! You…"
How did you end up here? You know, Liu Yiyi died two years ago. Ding Lidong looked at the dripping wet woman, his heart pounding. He moved back gradually with trembling steps, and he almost He fell, then turned around and ran towards home without looking back.
As he ran, he gradually felt that he could no longer hear anything. The buzzing tinnitus covered the sounds of the whole world. Ding Lidong's ears were like his heart, full of noise. The lake behind him was dead silent. The woman covered in water disappeared.
Water Color
That night, Ding Lidong was on duty at the supermarket again. The supermarket door was pushed open, making a clear sound in the quiet night.
"Hello." Ding Lidong said without turning around and continued to organize the shelves, but when he heard no response behind him, he looked back curiously.
Liu Yiyi's face suddenly appeared in front of him, so close to him that she was almost touching his face. Her long black hair was wet, and water drops were dripping down her pale cheeks. It was cold, but she was not wearing shoes. She stood there barefoot in her favorite white summer dress. Ding Lidong felt goose bumps all over his body.
Liu Yiyi showed a creepy smile, her pale face glowing with water under the supermarket lights, her mouth looked like it was about to split open with laughter, it was terribly red. Tick, tick… the sound of water drops dripping onto the ground became louder and louder. It was clear that Ding Lidong's clothes were soaked with sweat.
At this moment, the lights in the supermarket went out for some reason, and the surroundings instantly turned into darkness. Ding Lidong held onto the shelf and groped towards the light switch. He felt a cold and damp embrace behind him.
He stood in the darkness, at a loss. At this moment, a clanging sound came from a shelf at the back of the supermarket. Ding Lidong followed the sound and groped his way towards the shelf. He wanted to know what happened there. What? After walking a few steps, he felt as if he was stepping on water, so he squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch the ground.
It was really water! It was as if a shallow stream was quietly flowing in the supermarket. In the darkness, although Ding Lidong could not see anything, he could feel that his two hands were completely soaked by the water. .
At this moment, everything in the supermarket was back under the bright incandescent lights. Ding Lidong looked around and found that Liu Yiyi was no longer in the supermarket. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick up the He was about to put on his lost sweater again. At this moment, he was stunned. He saw that all the mineral water bottles on the last row of shelves were scattered on the ground, with the bottle caps opened and water constantly flowing out of them. They converge into a clear and shallow stream, the water is crystal clear and mysterious.
Strange Night
A week later was Ding Lidong's birthday, and he didn't have to work the night shift. In the evening, after his girlfriend He Mei celebrated his birthday with him, he returned home alone. Lying on the bed, Ding Lidong tried to fall asleep as quickly as possible, but he couldn't fall asleep. Over the past week, some strange things he encountered in the supermarket kept him awake.
"It's not 12 o'clock yet, and your birthday hasn't even finished yet, why are you sleeping?" a woman's voice floated over. Ding Lidong shuddered, turned his head away from the pillow, and suddenly felt creepy.
It was Liu Yiyi again! Her long hair was still wet, and she was wearing a blood-red evening dress. Her curvaceous figure was wrapped in the evening dress, showing her infinite beauty. The sky was sparkling with sparkling water, and it looked like a big bright red fish jumped onto the shore in the middle of the night and came in front of Ding Lidong.
"I prepared a birthday cake for you." A beautiful box was placed on the table. Liu Yiyi walked to the table and suddenly opened the lid. Ding Lidong's mouth immediately opened into an "O" shape. Because he saw that in the box was a large piece of blood-red cake. It lay there in a strange shape, faintly emitting a terrifying aura.
"Happy birthday!" Liu Yiyi said this in a gloomy tone, which should have been said happily. She picked up the cake knife, cut off a piece of blood cake, and pinched the cut cake with her blood-red nails. Put it in front of Ding Lidong's mouth.
During this time, the water on her body kept dripping onto the wooden floor. And the red dress she was wearing became even more dazzling. Blood cake, blood-red evening dress, Liu Yiyi dripping with water all over her body…
Ding Lidong suddenly woke up, it was just a dream. He looked at the clock, the hour hand pointed to 12 o'clock. He found that the ceiling seemed to be dripping, with a ticking sound. He got up and went to the balcony. The basin on the floor was filled with water. , there was a wooden photo frame. His expression froze instantly! The person in the photo frame was Liu Yiyi, she was smiling, so beautiful, yet so weird. Ding Lidong was madly using the wooden photo frame to He threw it out of the window with great force. He tried to calm down his fear and went back to bed.
Ding Lidong went to see a doctor. The doctor said that his poor sleep caused his nerves to be a little sensitive and disordered, and prescribed some tranquilizers for him. That night, Ding Lidong was on night shift at the supermarket. He was playing on his phone when he suddenly heard There was a rustling sound from the shelf. He put down his phone, stood up and walked towards the shelf. There was a mouse gnawing on a bag of biscuits whose wrapper had been gnawed open. He picked up a broom and hit the mouse. Ding Lidong turned around and walked towards the cashier counter. Suddenly, he saw Liu Yiyi sitting behind the cashier counter, looking at him with a resentful green light in her eyes. This time, it was not water dripping from her hair, but bright red liquid. Blood!
Ding Lidong gasped, turned around and ran to open the supermarket door. He staggered out of the supermarket and rushed to the road in panic. At this moment, a dazzling car light
The light shone on Ding Lidong on the dark road. With the sound of rapid car horns, he subconsciously covered his eyes…
photo
The room that Ding Lidong rented was empty. A woman wearing sunglasses put a key and a stack of banknotes on the desk of Ding Lidong's landlord and said, "Thank you for the key. This is a little gift from me. "The landlord stuffed the money given by the woman in sunglasses into his bag.
The woman in sunglasses asked, "Ding Lidong has never appeared again?"
"Yeah, I don't know where he went either," the landlord replied.
A few days later, the woman in sunglasses was walking by the lake in the park, deep in thought, but her thoughts were interrupted by voices coming from not far away. She looked over and saw a middle-aged woman pushing a wheelchair and shouting loudly. Scolding the person in the wheelchair.
The woman in sunglasses walked forward curiously. During the casual chat with the middle-aged woman pushing the wheelchair, she learned that the person in the wheelchair had been in a car accident last month and lost a leg. The eye injury caused his retina to detach and he became blind. Perhaps he could not accept the fact that he was doubly disabled, so he became mentally disturbed and often spoke nonsense. The middle-aged woman was a caregiver hired by his family. She often scolded him because she didn't know at the beginning that the person she had to take care of was actually a lunatic. So now she is strongly dissatisfied with this job and always takes it out on the person in the wheelchair.
"This lunatic is too difficult to serve! I can only do this job for another month at most!" The middle-aged woman complained to the woman in sunglasses. After a while, she pushed the wheelchair away because the person in the wheelchair began to make anxious noises. the sound of.
The woman in sunglasses had taken them off long ago while chatting with the middle-aged woman. At this moment, she looked at Ding Lidong's back as he left in a wheelchair, with a complicated expression. She was Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi took out a photo from her bag. In the photo, there were two college students. The girl was Liu Yiyi, but the boy was not Ding Lidong. The boy was wearing a plaid shirt, was very thin, and looked very handsome.
Looking at the photo, Liu Yiyi's expression suddenly became sad. She stroked herself in the photo and said, "Go to sleep peacefully." She stared at herself in the photo for a long time, her eyes turned red, and she said , "You know, I miss you so much."
Memories began to stir in her mind, burning her grief-stricken heart. These were originally the memories of two people, but now they have merged into one.
remember
Three years ago, the two college students in the photo had just graduated. They were inseparable friends in college, and after graduation they applied for jobs at the same advertising company together. The man hugging Liu Yiyi in the photo is called Chen Xi.
Later, in the company, Liu Yiyi met Ding Lidong again. Ding Lidong was fascinated by Liu Yiyi's beauty and he started a crazy pursuit of her. Liu Yiyi was finally captured by the sweetness of love and accepted Ding Lidong. However, one day, the manager discovered the relationship and the two were called into the manager's office. The manager said sternly that the company did not allow employees to fall in love with each other and that they had violated the company's rules and regulations, so the two One must go in between.
Ding Lidong looked nervous. It was obvious that he didn't want to leave, so Liu Yiyi said to the manager, "I resign."
When Liu Yiyi packed up her things and prepared to leave, Ding Lidong just walked out of the manager's office. He looked regretful and said hypocritically: "Yiyi, you don't have to be like this. I am the one who should resign. "Liu Yiyi smiled tolerantly and said, "It doesn't matter which of us leaves. You stay and work hard."
When Liu Yiyi walked to the door of the company, Chen Xi stopped her and asked, "Is it worth it for you to do this for him?"
"I don't care so much, thank you for caring about me, Chen Xi." After saying that, Liu Yiyi walked out of the company. However, one evening, Chen Xi saw Ding Lidong sitting with another girl in a cafe. Chen Xi angrily stepped forward to question Ding Lidong, but Ding Lidong just said lightly that he and Liu Yiyi had broken up. Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then punched Ding Lidong several times and rushed out of the coffee shop. hall.
Chen Xi ran to Liu Yiyi's house. Liu Yiyi looked at Chen Xi in surprise and said, "We haven't broken up. We just met yesterday. What are you talking about?" Chen Xi told her everything he had seen before. , but Liu Yiyi looked unconvinced.
"Yiyi, he's lying to you!"
"I don't want to listen anymore, Chen Xi. I know you always have prejudice against Adong. But I believe in Adong very much. He proposed to me. I want to marry him. I love him." Liu Yiyi said.
"Don't be silly! Adong is not a good person!" Chen Xi's expression was excited.
"He is not a good person? Then you are…" Liu Yiyi's expression was also very excited, "Why do you care so much about my affairs? Please don't always interfere in my affairs! Do you know that there was a Many colleagues are talking about us, and their comments are very unpleasant!"
"Yi Yi, what do you mean by this?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Yi Yi in disbelief, unable to believe that she would say such words to him.
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have said that." Liu Yiyi seemed to feel that what she had just said was a bit too much, "But I really want to tell you, don't always act like a boy, Chen Xi."
Like a boy? That's right, because Chen Xi is not a boy, she is a girl, a girl who always dresses like a boy.
"Chen Xi, there is no possibility between you and me. Although I like you, it's just the kind of liking between friends, not what you think." Liu Yiyi looked at Chen Xi and said seriously.
"What do I think? Yi Yi, is this how you view our friendship?"
"I don't know what you think. I only know that the person I love is Adong. I won't talk to you anymore. Adong is still waiting for me to celebrate his birthday with him." Liu Yiyi walked out of the room. Xi chased after her, but didn't say anything. He just stood at the door in silence, watching Liu Yiyi walk down the stairs and gradually disappear in the dim light.
the truth
The day after Liu Yiyi celebrated Ding Lidong's birthday, they talked about marriage again. Ding Lidong told Liu Yiyi: "I can't marry you now." Three days later, Liu Yiyi stood by Ding Lidong's At the door, he saw a strange woman walking out of his house. Liu Yiyi angrily asked Ding Lidong: "So you don't want to marry me because of her?"
"Yes. I have been with her for a long time, and I can't marry you." Ding Lidong said with a cold face.
Late at night, Liu Yiyi stood at the bridgehead of the moat. She was like a beautiful actress after the curtain call, beautiful and sad. Liu Yiyi held the phone and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you." Tears fell from her eyes. Her eyes fell, "I also want to start my life again, but I don't want to let the pain torture me anymore, Chen Xi, goodbye!"
Liu Yiyi disappeared at the bridgehead of the moat. Chen Xi desperately shouted on her phone, "Don't be impulsive, Yiyi!" A loud "thump" sound reached Chen Xi's ears, and then the phone There was a desperate sound of water.
Ding Lidong will never know that a year before he became doubly disabled, a woman was lying on an operating table in South Korea. On the computer screen next to the operating table was a large facial photo. It was Liu Yi. Yi's face.
Chen Xi closed her eyes willingly. Lying on the operating table, she looked happy, yet a little weird. Yi Yi, you are my friend, my best friend, forever. The scalpel pierced Chen Xi's smooth white face. The face was scratched with deep and shallow cuts, and blood flowed out from the cuts, like a cruel truth, stinging the eyes.
