Seeing her son's sudden change in his face, Chen Yulian muttered a little again, and made up her mind to take her son to the doctor tomorrow, but a smile appeared on her face, "Xiaoqi, if you don't feel well, just eat and continue to sleep, tomorrow Monday, Mom will take you to the doctor to prescribe some medicine, and then ask for a leave and rest for a day." ”

"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 so suddenly that people sometimes can't react.

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

"Got it."

Xiao Qi's heart was warm, in the next ten years, the days he spent with his parents were numbered, so listening to his mother's nagging over the phone was also very warm.

Now that I'm listening to it in person, I feel even more that it feels good to have my mother by my side.

Oh, yes!

They are all eighteen years old, and they should work hard for their lives, eighteen ......

Well?

Birthday last week?

It's Sunday?!

Xiao Qi's face turned white.

Pale and incomparable.

"Mom......"

"How?"

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

"Today...... What is the ...... of the month?"

"Silly boy! How do you talk nonsense? Chen Yulian looked up, saw her son's face, and was startled again, "Are you okay?" Do you want to go to the hospital? ”

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

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

Chen Yulian didn't finish speaking, Xiao Qi, who had been staring at the clock on the wall just now, dropped the dishes and chopsticks and ran to the door.

Chen Yulian hurriedly grabbed her son's arm, and her face turned white, "Son, don't scare your mother!" What's going on? ”

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

Xiao Qi came over with his backhand, 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 frowned and asked.

The clock now points to 8:30 p.m., which is the summer season, and it is dark outside.

If it weren't for her son's honesty since childhood, Chen Yulian would really care about what he would do.

Xiao Qi climbed on his mother's shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone and demeanor as much as possible: "Mom, I have a very important thing to do, it's not a bad thing, I'll talk to you when I come back." ”

He knows his mother's character, don't look so fierce on weekdays, but he actually dotes on his son, especially on the basis of not doing bad things since he was a child and studying seriously.

As long as Haode says, Mom will definitely let herself go out.

Sure enough, Chen Yulian thought about it, but nodded, "Xiaoqi, then you have to come back early, don't let your mother worry...... This damn 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 stupid boy, it can't be early love, right?

Xiao Qi is of course not a puppy love, in fact, when he was in the United States, he never had a girlfriend, but he was just focused on learning all kinds of knowledge and scientific research, and there are too many doctoral students in his peers, but it is not abrupt.

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

The cause of the fact that he has not had a girlfriend happened to happen tonight.

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

Now, there is actually a chance to break through this shadow, Xiao Qi is naturally nervous and excited, and even when he runs out, he surpasses his fastest speed on weekdays.

However......

It's not a good thing to run too fast.

Because he ran out of the family building area of the city government, after arriving at the intersection of the street, Xiao Qicai sadly found that he had forgotten to go to the carport to pick up the car.

Without a bicycle, how can I break the 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 pick up the car, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure.

Xiao Qi, who was overjoyed, hurriedly rushed forward.

Because he was moving too much, the handsome young man who was pushing the bicycle and talking and laughing with a girl noticed it early, looked up at this side, and was not stunned.

Xiao Qi didn't care whether he was stunned or not, snatched his car and said, "Master He, borrow your car!" ”

"Hey, hey, Archie, this is a new chariot that Xiao Wei bought! 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 coachman, otherwise he would not obey.

"Okay, I'm going to the Yellow Forest, hurry up!" Xiao Qi saw that he was going to delay 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 he didn't dare to delay, so he greeted his female companion and rode away.

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

Xiao Wei is relative to the word Lao Wei, He Hao likes to pretend to be a ghost, and often says that the little monk is Xiao Wei, so Xiao Wei has become a kind of self-name for him, and Xiao Qi generally calls him "Master He".

To say that this kind of person should be a very popular character among girls, but unfortunately, his popularity as a woman is not good.

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

However, He Hao is Xiao Qi's elementary, junior high, and high school classmates, so naturally Xiao Qi has a better relationship with him on weekdays.

It is precisely because of the good relationship that He Hao rode hard while muttering that it was not easy for him to make an appointment with Xiaoyuan, and he was disturbed by your kid, which is really a great crime.

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

Xiao Qi's mind is now completely immersed in the event that affected his life.

It was September 9, 2005, at 6 a.m. on a Monday.

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

Seeing his son's surprised eyes, his father Xiao Xu blurted out somehow: "Yang Xue has an accident!" Something is wrong! ”

Xiao Qi still remembers that at that moment, he was dazed and wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly it was like pouring a basin of ice water on his head in winter, and after trembling all over, he actually woke up extremely much, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Immediately, Xiao Qi, who was confused, followed his parents and went to the hospital first, and saw his good friend Yang Xue, who had grown up since childhood, lying on the hospital bed covered in blood, with tubes inserted all over his body, and his head was tightly wrapped.

Yang Xue was wounded with a homemade powder gun and thrown into the Lujiang River.

Originally, Yang Xue was in danger enough, and he wanted to pretend to be dead and escape, but the murderous gangster still threw him into the Lujiang River.

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

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

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

The smell of blood made Xiao Qi dare not 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 resolute subtle voice, which did not choke or pause at all, also became a word that often echoed in Xiao Qi's ears.

Su Zi has been found.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qi saw Su Zi lying quietly in the morgue of the hospital.

Su Zi, who could never breathe again, still maintained a shocked and painful expression, which showed how great the torture she had suffered.

Because it was necessary to keep it as it was and let the police investigate and find clues, Su Zi's body was left unattended and cleaned.

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

This scene, and the previous scene on Yang Xue's hospital bed, are called Xiao Qi's two nightmares.

So far, he has never forgotten for a moment, and because of this, he has a shadow, and he is reluctant to contact people until three or four years later, when he is a little better.

Perhaps, it's because of my timidity.

Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the car, recalled this scene and shook his head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

But his face gradually became resolute.

Yang Xue!

Su Zi!

You wait!

I, Xiao Qi, have come back, and I will never allow such a tragic thing to happen to you innocent people again!

Never!!
