Chapter 23 Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Chapter 23
Tang You didn't like to play eagle and chick since he was a child, and he didn't like to play the role of chicken.
It's just a game, if you get caught, you will get caught. After laughing for a while, you can rest or continue playing, but Tang You is not like that, he hates playing chicken.
At that time, some friends were puzzled: "Why don't you be a baby chicken?"
Tang You said confidently: "I'm so powerful, I don't need to be protected! You can be a baby chicken, and I will protect you!"
The little friend adored and acted as a chick obediently.
Only Tang You knows that he lied, being stared at and chased will make him highly nervous, he is just afraid of being caught by an "eagle".
The buildings in this village in the city are disorganized, jumping forward and backward, and the trails are winding, which makes people lose their temper.
Tang You ran forward, not daring to stop.He has been calm so far, but his palms are indeed sweating.
The people behind were thrown away by Tang You not long after, and just a little tired from running, they took the opportunity to slow down and look around.
He has lived in this area, but it has been several years, and there will always be big and small changes.
Running to a fork in the road, Tang You hesitated a little.He remembered these two roads, one led to a dead end, and the other could go out and lead to the side of the road.
Tang You hesitated for three seconds, and finally chose the one on the right.
In fact, he didn't know what to do, he didn't know if he chose the right one, but at this moment, he didn't care so much. He continued to run forward and saw a tree.
You got it right!
Heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, he speeded up and walked forward. Just as he walked around the tree, he bumped into a figure unexpectedly.
In a hurry, I only looked at the whole thing, and I saw that it was probably a man, wearing a baseball cap, holding a stick in his hand, blocking the path in front of him.
The road is narrow and too close to turn back.Tang You's heart skipped a beat, and the secret thought was not good, and in the next second, he was knocked down by a sap.
The stick was thrown aside, hitting broken bricks with a screeching sound of metal clashing.
The baseball cap patted the dust on his hands, and squatted beside Tang You, watching his painful appearance with satisfaction, "Stop running? Aren't you good at running?"
Tang You curled up, and in just a few seconds, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't speak.
The group behind him surrounded him.
"Pooh!"
"Why only one?"
"And another one?"
"The fourth one went to look for it."
The baseball cap reached out and patted Tang You's face heavily, "It's a pity, such a talented person, and still so young."
Tang You could see clearly in his blurred vision that the face under the baseball cap was full of hostility, vicious and vicious.
The eyes he looked at Tang You were full of madness and hatred, like a blood-stained butcher knife, wishing to cut Tang You's flesh and blood with one knife.
Tang You felt a chill in his heart, and had the illusion that he couldn't get out alive.
Something is wrong.
Why does this person hate him so much?
He thought he had never offended anyone to death, why did this man act like he wanted to skin him and drink his blood?
After a full 20 seconds, Tang You regained his voice from the severe pain: "Who are you?"
The baseball cap ignored his question, and said to himself, "But who wouldn't be sorry? Just wait a little longer, wait for zero o'clock."
Tang You was tied into rice dumplings, with a layer of tape on his mouth, and thrown into a small room.Not long after, Cheng Zihan was brought in too.
Cheng Zihan's eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
When Tang You saw it, his eyes went dark, and he felt that all his hard work had fed the dog. At that time, he might as well leave Cheng Zihan and run away by himself.
The baseball cap waved his hands to those big men, "The money is with Zhang San, Zhang San, you share a share, if you have more, go eat a good meal and go home early."
One of the kidnappers responded: "Okay Brother Feng, let's go first, brothers, let's go."
Someone else laughed and said, "Be gentle, brother Feng, just vent your anger, don't accidentally kill people, now these children are all tender and tender."
The baseball cap replied: "Well, it's okay, you go first."
The footsteps of the kidnappers gradually faded away.
The tone of the baseball cap was unusually calm, but the eyes under the brim were like poisonous scorpions.This weird combination made Tang You feel that the baseball cap just wanted to distract the group of people, and then killed him and Cheng Zihan.
Sure enough, the baseball cap clinked out things from the toolbox—knives, hammers, saws, and gold foil and silver foil paper money, glowing with a cold and absurd luster.
Every time one was taken out, the chill in Tang You's heart deepened. When the baseball cap stopped moving, the blood in Tang You's whole body seemed to freeze.
Guessed right.
So, will the zero point mentioned by the baseball cap be his last time in this world?
what time is it now?
The baseball cap took out a mobile phone - Tang You could see, it was his mobile phone - the baseball cap turned on, and looked at his own watch, as if comparing the time, "It's exactly 25:35, you still have [-] minutes."
The mobile phone was put aside, and the hand in the baseball cap touched a row of murder weapons one by one.
Like a cat playing maliciously with a mouse, staring at its prey with great interest, "Don't be nervous, it's useless to be nervous, why don't I let you be a smart ghost?"
"Tomorrow 13 years ago, Tang Xingzhi hit and killed a couple while driving drunk."
Thirteen years ago, Tang You was just seven years old.
And now, 13 years later, Tang You's mind went blank, he digested these words slowly, and tried his best to search for the incident of Tang's father hitting someone in his memory.
Can't find it.
But he remembered that Tang's mother's temperament changed drastically and became hysterical when he was 8 years old.
In the year before that, Tang's mother was not as happy as before. She was often sad and unhappy, and she even burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day.Tang Xingzhi also didn't stay at home for a while, and even when he went home, he looked worried.
Once his parents quarreled behind closed doors, and he vaguely heard the word "murderer". After that, the family bought a new car.
Before this, Tang You only thought that the change of the couple was the beginning of a breakdown in their relationship.
The baseball cap observed Tang You's expression, "You don't seem to remember? I remember clearly."
"Tang Xingzhi suppressed this matter because of his wealth and power. The life of the poor is cheap, and my parents' two lives are so pitiful. They just gave it away for nothing. My sister couldn't accept it and committed suicide by jumping off the building.
"She was only 13 years old, her body was smashed to pieces, and the whole ground was covered with blood."
The baseball cap's eyes were bloodshot, he held the knife, and slashed Tang You's leg fiercely.
Tang You snorted and wanted to retract his legs, but the baseball cap refused to allow him to do so. He grabbed his ankle with one hand and warned him: "Don't move, I'm impatient."
The blood quickly formed a small pool on the ground, and the red liquid seemed to please the baseball cap, "That year, I was only a teenager, full of resentment, and there was no way to appeal. I had to stare at you, but you have someone who goes to and from school Pick up, I have no chance at all."
Tang You sat against the wall, his ears buzzing.
The baseball cap pointed at Cheng Zihan, who had his eyes closed, "Later, I found some interesting things. Tang Xingzhi had an illegitimate son who was raised outside. That's him. You should know something about it, right?"
"I dropped out of school to work, supported myself, and got in touch with all kinds of people in the society. Later, I was thrown into prison because of a fight. It was just a fight, but I was sentenced to so many years. Tell me, is there Tang Xingzhi's handwriting in it? ?
"It's a pity. He thought that you would be safe if he threw me into prison. I didn't expect him to die first. Who else will protect you now?"
The baseball cap stepped forward, approaching Tang You, and looked carefully, "I think it's a pity for you. I've been in prison for so many years, and you haven't had a good life. But who made you Tang Xingzhi's son, who made Tang Xingzhi owe you My three lives?"
"Three lives, Tang Xingzhi killed himself, and the retribution is not good, so it counts as one. As for your mother, she is not surnamed Tang, and the blood of the Tang family did not flow on her body, so it doesn't count. The father's debt will be paid by you and him. Filled up."
I don't know if it was because Tang You was awake, and the baseball cap could be a disaster for Tang You alone. He put the blade on Tang You's neck, and carefully discussed with him how to die, "Why don't you cut the artery directly? The blood will spurt out very high, but Also walks fast, no pain. I really want to see that scene, but before that, I have to give you a starter."
He patted Tang You's cheek again with the blade, "After all, we have prepared so many tools, it's better not to waste them."
"Anyway, my life has been ruined a long time ago. It doesn't make any difference whether I live or die. If I take you with me and avenge my revenge, it's not a waste of my life."
Blood loss and pain, unwillingness and absurdity, Tang You's state is extremely poor.
He knew very well in his heart that the baseball cap was in a very abnormal mental state, and he didn't ask for money, but only wanted to kill them as soon as midnight came.Facing such a lunatic who only wanted his life, he could hardly think of any breakthrough point.
At this moment, the phone rang, and Tang You's lax spirit lifted.
It was Xu Qinchen, and that was the ringtone specially set by him.
The baseball cap captured Tang You's expression at this moment, "Want to pick it up? Want to ask for help? May I pick it up for you?"
As the pervert said, he held the knife against Tang You's jugular artery, "Ask him for help, be miserable, but don't tell where you are, or I'll cut open your aorta right away."
After speaking, he connected the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
Xu Qinchen's voice came, "Tang You? Is that you?"
The tape on his mouth was roughly torn off, Tang You took a deep breath, made a decision within a second, and said quickly: "Kidnapping. Call the police. City A village."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone was hung up abruptly, and Tang You was kicked to the ground.
Tang You curled up reflexively, and sure enough, the baseball cap kicked him a few times as if to vent his anger.
He bet the madman wouldn't slit his aorta right away.
He was right.
Probably because of the magical sense of ritual, the baseball cap had to kill the son of the enemy at exactly midnight on the day of the death of the parents.
He bet that the baseball cap didn't care when it killed him.
If you don't care, why choose the zero hour of this day to get revenge?Why compare the time of the mobile phone and the watch?
It is really unreliable to say that if the bet is lost, there is no other way to do this, then he will die 10 minutes earlier - to convey the information, he probably still has a glimmer of life.If he does not seek help from the outside world, he has no chance of surviving at all.
I wonder if Xu Qinchen has heard the full address, Tang You thought.
The phone rang again, and the baseball cap finally stomped Tang You's foot, and went to a distance to answer it, this time without turning on the speakerphone.
Tang You couldn't hear what he said. Not long after, the baseball cap was turned back, "Guess if your friend heard clearly?"
Tang You looked at his expression and said calmly, "Probably not."
The baseball cap said proudly: "I hang up the phone quickly, don't try tricks, you can't escape, you'd better wait for death obediently."
"There are still three and ten minutes. Just chatting is too boring. How about some more fun?"
He followed the wound on Tang You's leg and cut it again.
……
Time was stretched infinitely, Tang You trembled all over, his face was pale, only a drop of blood splashed onto his cheek at some point, it was shockingly red.
He couldn't hear what the baseball cap said intermittently, but he felt very cold and wanted to vomit.
Floating and sinking in the boundless darkness, only a faint light in the far distance hangs him, preventing him from sinking into the darkness.
He stumbled, in a trance, seeing the gray-haired grandma for a while, and seeing the gentle mother for a while.The stinky fart husky came over shaking its head and wagging its tail, barking at him, and the piano piece played by Xu Qinchen also entered his ears intermittently.
Wanting to be close, to be close to them, eases the pain.
But no matter how hard he tried, he would always be thrown away by the invisible force, and the light was further away, until it was only the size of a needle tip.
Flickering, flickering, about to go out.
He saw the red private car that his parents took on the day of their divorce, he saw himself sitting on the bay window crying and crying, he saw his parents' grave, a small mound of dirt, and grandma dared not and was not allowed to erect a monument.
His habitual thinking, like the countless sleepless nights before, made unnecessary assumptions-if the parents hadn't gone for divorce that day, if Tang Xingzhi hadn't betrayed the family, if there were no lovers and illegitimate children, their home should be...
But suddenly, he saw the tragic death of a strange couple, a girl who fell from a height, a desperate and helpless boy...
So, should it?Where should it be?
What he thought was possible, turned out to be wishful thinking.The family could have been happy, the parents could have been alive, and Tang Xingzhi acted like this, so why should he be able to?
Severe pain came, and the strong bloody smell filled the nostrils, and Tang You was pulled away from his mind by the pain again.
He seemed to be lying in a pile of icy snow, and the white crystals poured into his neck, replacing his clothes, covering his whole body, and bit by bit sucking away the heat he needed to survive.
So cold, so painful...
How long will it take, and when will it end...
Is he dying...
Both body and spirit were at their limits, but someone called him eagerly.But the sound was too far away, as if separated by rushing water, he couldn't hear it clearly.
Is it Xu Qinchen?
Is Xu Qinchen here?
Tang You suddenly lost consciousness and sank into the boundless darkness.
