still in a dream

1

Xu Hui suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a momentary white light in front of his eyes. He gasped for breath, and put his hands on his forehead, trying to calm himself down.

Outside the window is still the dark sky, the street lights are shining tirelessly, and through the thin curtains, a faint moonlight is cast on the empty room. A small pimple formed when it came into contact with the air.

He wiped his face, let out a deep breath, and pulled the phone to his eyes to look at it—two o'clock in the morning.

However, the following message reminded him that the national curse he wanted to blurt out failed to come out.

The unopened message came from - Jiang Yin.

Xu Hui somewhat understood the content of the news.Jiang Yin is three years older than Xu Hui, and she is his biological sister. When Xu Hui was in primary school, their father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and failed to be rescued. However, their mother remarried two years later and did not take Jiang Yin away. Xu Hui can still think of Jiang Yin now. Yin grabbed the corner of grandma's clothes tightly, and looked at her mother with a look of despair and resentment.

The best opportunity to be able to reunite with Jiang Yin as siblings was the death of his mother.

Click on the text message, the content is nothing more than to ask him to come out to rescue the emergency tomorrow morning, the time and address are written in detail in the text message.

He quickly replied that he knew, and he continued to lie down and felt sticky all over his body, so he stood up and planned to take a bath to get rid of the sweat.

The grandma of the siblings was a female soldier before retiring, and she not only trained her strength but also her voice from the physical education school. When the mother left Jiang's house, the neighbors next door heard the two of them arguing every day, as if It's like trying to compete with someone whose voice is louder.At that time, she was about to take the senior high school entrance examination, and her grades plummeted, even her voice became hoarse. She forced herself to wake up every day, and couldn't sleep at night. That was the most distressing and unlovable period of her life.

But Xu Hui didn't know about it, his grandma didn't tell him about it, and his mother kept it from him. He only knew about the relationship between their siblings now, as if they were back when their parents were still alive.

Jiang Yin is 28 years old this year, exactly the age when people urged her to go on a blind date. Xu Hui has received that emergency text message no less than ten times.He knew that his sister actually wanted to have a dating partner for the purpose of marriage, but the men brought by blind dates were always unsatisfactory. go this trip.He entered the bathroom with a smile and planned to wash his face first, but looking at the flowing water, the smile on his face gradually faded away.

It's been several days... the same dream, which has been haunting him.It was clearly just a dream, but it gave him the feeling that this dream was coveting him, and once he touched it, he couldn't get it off again.As soon as this thought appeared, it made him shudder.

It was a field of reeds at dusk.

There is no trace of cloud in the sky, and the setting sun is half exposed at the end of the reed, covered with a layer of golden light, fluttering and floating above the reed. If you see it in reality, it must be a beautiful encounter. Maybe you can find a A small boat swayed across the river, feeling the caress of the wind and the pity of the setting sun.

However, he was running between the reeds, his tattered clothes were hanging down, and he couldn't see his original appearance.The tall reeds grazed his bare skin, and the thorns were painful; he only wore one shoe under his feet, which was already soaked in water, and it was uncomfortable to step on.The other bare foot stepped on the piled reeds, as soft as duckweed, as if stepping on it would step into rotten mud or sink into the water in a second.

He was worried about the instability of the road, and seemed to be eager to avoid something. He looked back from time to time, but he could only see a blaze of red.He kept running, in the endless reeds where his vision was blocked, he kept running, and even time could not stop this running.

Maybe it was really too tired, Xu Hui turned off the tap to comfort himself.

***

Perhaps it was because of taking a bath that Xu Hui didn't dream during the rest of the sleep time. The result of a good sleep was that he missed the alarm clock. When he woke up, he realized that he was almost approaching the time limit given by Jiang Yin.

Without thinking about anything, Xu Hui hurriedly washed and washed, changed into the clothes he found in the middle of the night last night, picked up his bag and ran out in a hurry.

Although Jiang Yin and Xu Hui are siblings, they have nothing in common except for their faces.Probably because of the different growth environments, the personalities of the two of them are also very different, which even affects their current life and career.

Xu Hui was taken away by his mother from the small town where he had grown up for more than ten years, and stepped into an unknown city. He also cried and complained at the beginning. Why was he the one who was taken away? Why couldn’t he continue to stay with his sister? My mother couldn't say anything about it.The established facts do not allow him to go back on his word. He obeyed his mother's instructions. He chose the Department of Chinese in college. After graduation, he became a small editor of a newspaper. He spent the rest of his time with his mother peacefully until she died in a car accident. .

However, Jiang Yin failed the high school entrance examination and barely got admitted to a sports school. In high school, she seemed to rein in the precipice. She was no longer decadent and absent-minded all day long.Talking about the past, Jiang Yin only said that she met a noble man who made her lose her way - as for what she said, Xu Hui didn't know.

This is a tea restaurant with elegant decoration, the overall green and white, transparent glass can clearly see the indoor scene.The sun at nine o'clock in the morning reflected the dazzling orange light on the glass. Through the glass, Xu Hui could see that Jiang Yin was talking with a man. It seemed that the conversation was very harmonious, but her hands The phone has never been put down.

Jiang Yin signaled to the man, got up and went to the front desk first, Xu Hun saw that she had paid, and then went to the bathroom.

Soon Xu Hui's cell phone rang.

Xu Hui answered the phone and resignedly pushed open the glass door. The bell hanging on the doorknob rang crisply, and at the same time, the sudden siren sounded on the street.

"Siren? Where are you?" Jiang Yin on the other end of the phone didn't wait for Xu Hui to reply, "I heard it too. What's the situation?"

Scattered passers-by turned their heads to look at the police car. Xu Hui saw that the police car was parked at the intersection of this road, and quickly pulled up a bright yellow cordon, but the crowd grew bigger and bigger.

"It's not very clear, it's at the intersection." Xu Hui let go of the glass door handle and walked out a few steps, "I saw two police cars...it shouldn't be a big deal, I didn't hear anything when I came here Great movement."

Because he was in a hurry to go out, the backpack that Xu Hui picked up was the guy who worked for him. Although he really wanted to go there to collect the first news, Jiang Yin who came out held his hand.

"Hun!" Jiang Yin wore light makeup, and it could be seen that she still had some expectations for this blind date, but she was so anxious that she called herself to remind her, which meant that this time it still ended in failure.

The two walked to the edge of Jiang Yin's previous seat together.

The man who was sitting with Jiang Yin before stood up. His suit was ironed straight and he stood calmly. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and his hair was meticulously combed. He completely explained what the word "elite" is. The man showed a puzzled look just right: "This is..."

With a decent smile on Xu Hui's face, he looked at the other party secretly, thinking to himself, this guy still looks like a human being, and he still wears the men's watch that was popular this year, why was he passed away again? .

Jiang Yin's cell phone rang.

She picked it up—this man has already been crossed out anyway, and it would be useless to do any polite moves—"This is because I want to get back together...well," said something on the phone, Jiang Yin's His expression instantly became extremely heavy, "I'm nearby, I'll be there soon."

She hung up the phone, as if realizing that she was still on the blind date, she immediately changed her face and took Xu Hui's arm into hers, "Mr. Chen, this is the ex-boyfriend I just mentioned who wants to get back together with me. Look He has come to look for me, and I am too embarrassed to ignore him. I invited us for today's meal, and now I have something to do at work, so I don't want to disturb you. You continue to sit, and I'm going to work." After finishing speaking, he pushed Xu Hui asked her to take him out of the store.

"Where?" After getting Xu Hui's affirmative answer, Jiang Yin neatly tied up her curly hair while walking quickly.

When something happened at work, Jiang Yin seemed to be a different person, her aura suddenly changed. Xu Hui looked at her side face, as if seeing her grandma when she was young.

Xu Hui took his dick out of the bag, hung it around his neck, followed her, and asked, "What happened?" Even though he was curious about the blind date, he knew that now was not the time.

"A very...bizarre case, the whole room was sprayed with blood," Jiang Yin said in a low voice, "Xiao Zheng said that there were at least three scattered corpses. I'll tell you right away."

Xu Hui responded and watched Jiang Yin pass through the crowd and cross the cordon. After saluting the superintendent who was taking pictures, he took the shoe covers and gloves and walked into the crime scene.He looked at his watch, it was 23:[-] in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, it was approaching summer, but it was still a bit chilly.

The people around were bustling with each other, everyone was guessing something, Xu Hun took out his notebook and wrote down some small details.

Soon the police came to question some onlookers. Xu Hui looked up at the small building, his eyes blurred, and he was a little dazed. It seemed that someone covered his ears, making his voice blurred, and it seemed that someone A layer of gauze was put in front of his eyes, and even the sun became dim, but after he shook his head, nothing happened. Although he was puzzled, he didn't take it seriously.

After putting away his notebook, Xu Hui raised the SLR camera in his hand and pressed the shutter on this ordinary-looking facade.
