Age of Dreams

Seeing that her son's face suddenly changed unpredictably, Chen Yulian murmured a little again, and made up her mind to take her son to see a doctor tomorrow, but a smile appeared on her face, "Xiao Qi, I just ate and went to sleep when I felt uncomfortable. Tomorrow Monday, Mom will take you to the doctor to prescribe some medicine, so I will take a day off."

"Oh."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly, he also needed a little time to sort out his thoughts and get used to his current mood.

Happiness comes too suddenly, and it always makes people unable to react at times.

Chen Yulian was not very relieved, and decided to enlighten her son a few more words, "Xiao Qi, you turned eighteen last week, you have become an adult, you must learn to take care of yourself, and don't worry your mother all day long. ,do you know?"

"understood."

Xiao Qi felt warm in his heart. For the next ten years, he and his parents had only a handful of siblings together, so listening to his mother's nagging over the phone was also very warm.

Now listening to it face to face, it feels even more good to have my mother by my side.

yes!

They are all eighteen years old, they should work hard for their own life, eighteen...

Um?

Had a birthday last week?

Today is Sunday? !

Xiao Qi's face turned pale.

Incomparably pale.

"mom……"

"how?"

Chen Yulian was burying her head in eating, but did not notice that her son's face was as pale as paper, and her voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"Today... today is the date of the month..."

"Silly child! Why are you talking nonsense?" Chen Yulian raised her head, saw her son's face, and was startled again, "Are you all right? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Mom! I'm fine, tell me quickly!" Xiao Qi's hand holding the chopsticks was shaking uncontrollably.

"Today is September 8th, Sunday... Hey! What are you doing?"

Before Chen Yulian finished speaking, Xiao Qi, who had been staring at the clock on the wall just now, dropped the tableware and ran to the door.

Chen Yulian hurriedly grabbed her son's arm, her face turned pale, "Son, don't scare mom! What's wrong?"

As she spoke, her eyes were also red, and a feeling of worry and fear occupied Chen Yulian's heart.

Xiao Qi backhanded, hugged his mother hard, and then let go: "Mom, it's too late, I'll come back and explain to you!"

"But...it's so late, what are you doing out?" Chen Yulian asked with a frown.

The clock now points to 8:30 in the evening. Rao is the summer season, and it is pitch-dark outside.

If it wasn't for her son being honest since childhood, Chen Yulian would have been so worried that he would do bad things.

Xiao Qi grabbed his mother's shoulders and said with a relaxed tone and demeanor as much as possible: "Mom, I have something very important to do, it's not a bad thing, I'll tell you when I come back."

He knows his mother's personality. Don't look at her fierceness, but he actually dotes on his son, especially on the basis that he has never done bad things and studied hard since he was a child.

As long as you say it well, my mother will definitely let her go out.

Sure enough, Chen Yulian thought about it, and nodded, "Xiaoqi, then you have to come back early, don't let mother worry... This dead child~~"

Seeing that the words were not finished, Xiao Qi flew out, Chen Yulian was angry and funny, but another thought flashed in her heart: This silly boy, wouldn't it be puppy love?

Of course, Xiao Qi is not in a puppy love. In fact, when he was in the United States, he never had a girlfriend, and he just devoted himself to learning all kinds of knowledge and scientific research. There are too many doctoral students in the same industry, and it is not abrupt. .

It's not that Xiao Qi doesn't like women, on the contrary, he has a lot of girls that he silently likes and admires, especially the beautiful tablemate who is the one he dreams of most often.

The reason why he never had a girlfriend all the time happened just tonight.

It was also what happened tonight that caused Xiao Qi's lingering shadow.

Now, there is actually a chance to break this yin shadow, Xiao Qi is naturally shaking with excitement, and even when he ran out, he surpassed the fastest speed in his ordinary life.

However……

Running too fast is not a good thing either.

Because he ran out of the family building area of ​​the city and reached the intersection of the main street, Xiao Qicai found sadly that he had forgotten to go to the carport to pick up the car.

Without a bicycle, here is such a long distance from the Yellow Forest, how can I get rid of my inner demons and rescue the two most innocent and pitiful classmates?

Just as he gritted his teeth and wanted to hurry back to the carport to get the car, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure.

Xiao Qi, who was overjoyed, rushed up quickly.

Because he moved too much, the handsome young man who was pushing the bicycle and was chatting and laughing with a girl noticed it early, looked up here, and froze for a while.

Xiao Qi didn't care whether he stayed or not, he grabbed his car and said, "Master He, borrow your car!"

"Hey, hey, Archie, this is the new chariot bought by Xiao Na! What are you doing...don't don't...don't break it, where are you going, I'll take you there!"

The handsome young man couldn't take care of his car, so he hurriedly proposed to be a driver, otherwise he would not be able to die.

"Okay, I'm going to Huangshulin, hurry up!" Xiao Qi saw that he was going to waste time, so he could only sit in the back seat.

"Oh... Xiaoyuan, you go home first, see you at school tomorrow!"

The handsome young man also saw that Xiao Qi was really anxious and did not dare to delay. He greeted his female companion, and galloped away on the bike.

The handsome young man's name is He Hao. He is the third eldest in the family and is Xiao Qi's classmate. His grades are not very good, but he is handsome and his family is rich.

Xiao Na is relative to the word Lao Na. He Hao likes to pretend to be a ghost. He often says that the little monk is Xiao Na, so Xiao Na has become his self-proclaimed name. Generally, Xiao Qi calls him "Master He".

To say that this kind of person should be very popular with girls, but unfortunately, his relationship with women is not good.

The reason is that He Hao's mouth is too much, it's just like a telephone line. When you talk about what's in his ears, you basically turn around and tell you it, so that boys and girls don't like him very much.

But He Hao is Xiao Qi's primary school, junior high school, and high school classmates, so naturally Xiao Qiping has a better relationship with him.

It is precisely because of the good relationship that He Hao is riding hard while riding a bicycle while chatting.

He Hao's nagging, Xiao Qi, who was nervous and excited, didn't listen to a word.

Xiao Qi's current mind has been completely immersed in the event that affected his life.

It was September 9, 2005, Monday morning at six o'clock.

When I got up to go to the bathroom in the morning, I suddenly heard the phone ringing in my parents' room. Then my father picked up the phone. When Xiao Qi came back from the toilet and passed by my parents' room, I found that my parents were wearing clothes in a panic.

Seeing his son's surprised eyes, Dad Xiao Xu blurted out for some reason, "Something happened to Yang Xue! Something big!"

Xiao Qi still remembered at that moment, he was confused and wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly it was like pouring a basin of ice water on his head in winter.

Immediately, Xiao Qi, who was confused, followed his parents and went to the hospital first. He saw Yang Xue, his good friend from childhood, lying on the hospital bed covered in blood, with tubes inserted all over his body. , his head was tightly wrapped, and when he got closer, he saw that the gauze was full of blood, and the hospital bed was also full of blood.

Yang Xue was injured with a homemade gunpowder gun and thrown into the Lujiang River.

Originally, Yang Xue had been calm enough in the face of danger and wanted to pretend to be dead to escape, but the murderous gangster still threw him into Lujiang.

If Yang hadn't learned to swim, and the sand and gravel boats passed by and rescued him, I'm afraid everyone would never see him again.

At this time, Yang Xue was still awake, and when he heard his mother weeping and talking to Xiao Xu and the others, he called out, "Is Xiao Qi here? Is Xiao Qi here?"

Xiao Qi, who had never seen this scene, was almost paralyzed. Even seven or eight years later, when Xiao Qi remembered this scene, he was surprised how he had the courage to walk to the hospital bed and lean over to lean in. In front of Yang Xue.

That stench and weird smell of blood made Xiao Qi afraid to see blood from now on, so he stayed in the school and didn't have to worry about anything outside.

"Help me find Su Zi! Xiao Qi, help me find Su Zi!!"

This firm, subtle voice without any choking or pause at the same time became the words that often echoed in Xiao Qi's ears.

Su Zi has been found.

After half an hour, Xiao Qi saw Su Zi lying quietly in the hospital mortuary.

Su Zi, who can never breathe again, still maintains a horrified and painful expression, which shows how great the torture she suffered.

Because it is necessary to keep it as it is, and let Jing Fang investigate and find clues, Su Zi's body has no one to take care of and clean.

So that when Xiao Qi came up, in addition to seeing Su Zi's face, he also saw her torn clothes and trousers, the tiny wounds all over her body, and the one that covered the important position but couldn't close at all. legs.

This scene, and the previous scene on Yang Xue's bed, are also known as Xiao Qi's two nightmares.

So far, he has never forgotten for a moment, and because of this, he has a yin shadow, and he is reluctant to contact people from now on, and it will not be better until three or four years later.

Maybe it's also because of his timidity.

Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the car, recalled this scene and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

But his face gradually became firmer.

Yang Xue!

Su Zi!

You are waiting!

When Xiao Qi is back, I will never allow such tragic things to happen to you innocent people!

no way! !
