escape from the world

Gao Cheng moved his buttocks and hugged the quilt to lie on the sofa, wrapped himself up perfectly before asking, "What did you say?"

"Have you made any mistakes?" Fang Chen was half-sitting on the TV cabinet, a thunderbolt flashed to illuminate half of his side face, and a small shadow was cast by his jaw and disappeared on his collarbone.

Gao Cheng said "Hi" and said, "Who hasn't made any mistakes when you are young?" Difficult neighbors greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and would at most whisper a few words behind their backs if they were dissatisfied.

He joked: "Is it wrong to date a few girls before? Don't think I'm bragging. I used to be decent, but now I'm fat. There used to be a lot of girls chasing me, so I just fucked a few. Afterwards, I felt bored and passed away." Seeing Fang Chen staring at him without moving, he added with a smile, "Am I a bit of a scumbag?" Still a little proud.

Fang Chen's feet were numb, he supported the cabinet with both hands, licked his lips dryly and said, "...I don't know."

Gao Cheng looked at him suspiciously and said, "You haven't talked to someone yet, have you?"

Fang Chen frowned, subconsciously wanting to refute with his mouth half-open but didn't know what to answer.

He remembered too little.

Gao Cheng was lying on his side and wanted to wait for Fang Chen to speak, but he closed his eyes after a while, and fell asleep without snoring.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the coolness came in through the window, lingering on the skin, and slowly caressing the back of the neck with seemingly provocative hands.Fang Chen felt that something was wrong, and was just about to walk over to see Gao Cheng, when there was a knock on the door.

Fang Chen turned back and approached the door, and asked softly, "Who?" He thought it was Nie Shi.

No one answered.

Boom, boom, boom.

Fingernails knocked on the door, and there was a sting.

Fang Chen waited for a while and the knocking on the door stopped. A few seconds later, a voice came from the crack of the door: "Brother Fang Chen?"

Fang Chen froze.

"Is it you?" The boy clings to the slit, the more he talks, the happier he is, and his mouth slowly opens.

Fang Chen held his breath, his fingers turned white as he touched the door panel.

Qiao Ran knocked on the door with her index finger, once and for all, and said: "Dong Dong Dong, are you inside?"

Fang Chen didn't dare to move, only rolled his eyes for fear of making any noise.

There was a silence outside the door for a while, just when Fang Chen thought he had gone far away and wanted to lean against the door to listen to the movement——

"I know you're inside." This sound seemed to be close to his ear, and the breath rubbed against his ear, and he was about to open his mouth in the next second to bite him into a bloody mess.

"Why didn't you call me back?" Qiao Ran giggled, posing in various poses against the door, like a hyperactive cock, squawking and croaking.

Fang Chen never responded until the outside quietened down. He glanced back at Gao Cheng who had fallen asleep, and instead of retreating, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

The corridor was dark and empty, permeated with coolness, the air was damp and sticky, Fang Chen leaned on the doorknob and turned his head to meet an evil thought.

Fang Chen: "..." Countless dirty words flashed in my heart.

Evil thought: "Ah, ah."

The arm of the evil thought was torn out by the old man and slumped on the ground, and his left leg was also useless, only relying on one foot to crawl.Fang Chen took a step back and leaned against the door, knowing that it was left by Qiao Ran, he probably thought it was fun and didn't kill him right away, it might be the one who knocked on the door just now.

Evil thoughts crawled towards him in a deformed posture. Spiders, centipedes, and all kinds of insects with long legs and many legs flickered in Fang Chen's mind. He looked at it again, and it crawled very slowly. Arch squirmed over.Fang Chen drew out the dagger pinned to his waist, and took a step slowly. Although he was flustered, his hands were steady. Evil Nian raised his neck and stared at him with dark eyes. The teeth collided with each other to make a crisp sound, and repeated this several times, everyone knew that it wanted to eat people.

Fang Chen's brain was a bit dull, and he didn't know where he came from. He squatted down and broke the evil thoughts' shoulders to turn it around. It was much lighter than expected, a bit like a foam board, and it felt terrible in the hand, just loose skin and fine texture. Bones, there is no real feeling when pinched.It tried its best to bend its neck, trying to bite Fang Chen's outstretched hand, and when it couldn't bite, it let out a baby-like sound. This was the first time Fang Chen had observed the evil thoughts so carefully, and the position of its heart seemed to be filled. A ball of unpolished ink was rotten and dirty, and the body still exuded a rotten smell.

Just when Fang Chen had the courage to observe the evil thoughts, at the corner not far from him, the pale moonlight shrouded the young man's body. Qiao Ran leaned his head against the wall, raised his right foot and swayed his fingers back and forth to make a rhythm on the wall.He looked sideways at Fang Chen as he inserted the dagger into Evil Nian's body bit by bit, and with a smile on his lips, he stepped forward.

Fang Chen squatted halfway in the dissipated ashes. The rainy night was so cold, and his hands were cold, and the blackness flew up little by little.The tip of the knife cut a line on the floor, and Fang Chen was also at a loss as to why he suddenly plunged the dagger into the filth. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Ran.

"Good evening." Qiao Ran walked into Ashes, walked up to Fang Chen, smiled and stared at the dagger in Fang Chen's hand, "I found you."

Gao Cheng didn't move at all in the room, and An Ning fell asleep with his eyes closed and his head tilted. Fang Chen knew something was wrong and half-kneeled to pretend to be calm.

"Stop talking, why are you avoiding me? Don't you want to ask me something?" Qiao Ran blinked, "I can tell you anything."

Fang Chen watched helplessly as Qiao Ran rotted in front of him. The smooth skin of the good-looking boy faded away, leaving only a soft and rotten layer of flesh, and the fat also fell off.

"...How did Xie Ying die?"

Although he overcame Nie Shi, it didn't mean he would get used to Qiao Ran.Fang Chen's mind was filled with the sound of rotten meat slipping and falling to the ground, and he was about to be scared to death by his brain power.

Qiao Ran paused for a few seconds, Fang Chen thought he had asked something he shouldn't have asked. "You don't think I pushed her down, did you?" Qiao Ran wrinkled her nose with an expression of impatience and annoyance, "She jumped down by herself."

The red dress flying high in the sky, the long hair flying upwards, and the thick blood permeating the ground, they were replayed in front of Fang Chen's eyes, slowed down step by step and played frame by frame, the blood bubbling in the memory, Xie Ying His face was pressed against the ground and should have been smashed to a bloody mess.

The small sound of walking behind him interrupted Fang Chen's recollection, and when he turned his head, his hunched body and charcoal eyes stared at him evilly, and the eyeballs followed Fang Chen's slight movement.

"It's so troublesome, there are so many of them." Qiao Ran walked past Fang Chen, and just as the evil thought opened his mouth, he punched it in the face, and half of its head was punched out, splattering yellow blood, It's a bit like the diluted honey that Fang Chen drank.Qiao Ran put his hand in his heart again, and Fang Chen covered his mouth.

Qiao Ran's way of killing evil thoughts was too simple and rude, just like him, crazy and pure.

"You said you were pushing us to die, why do you want to kill these evil thoughts? Wouldn't it be better to let them kill us directly?" Fang Chen gradually calmed down, the dagger in his hand loosened and he no longer clenched it tightly.

Fang Chen felt that like Nie Shi, Qiao Ran didn't want to kill him...or he couldn't kill Fang Chen.

Qiao Ran turned his back to him, his eyes moved to one side and then back, his fingers twisted the black thick liquid: "I'm pushing, I've worked so hard to push you to death."

Fang Chen looked over, the windows in front of the porch were wide open and the rain was pouring in, the moonlight only illuminated the small area.

There is nothing there.

"You can't just kill us." The moonlight outside the window was thin, and Fang Chen's eyes were light brown, "You even have to stop those evil thoughts from killing us..."

Qiao Ran paused and turned around, and said with interest, "Continue."

"Before she died, Xie Ying said that we would all die because of the sins we committed, so before that... you must ensure our safety and prevent us from being killed by evil thoughts." Fang Chen tried hard to become more confident, but unfortunately The question in his eyes betrayed him.

Qiao Ran licked her upper lip, the two lips were not the same color, bright red and pale, "What else?"

Fang Chen opened his mouth. There was a question he wanted to ask for a long time: "How did Nie Shi... die?"

"How did he die?" Qiao Ran repeated, with his eyes wide open and his head tilted, he asked back, "Don't you know the best?"

Fang Chen's head buzzed, and he couldn't hear anything in a mess around his ears, together with his own voice, "What do you mean?"

"Hush." ​​Qiao Ran smiled, "He is reluctant to remind you."

"What do you mean?" Fang Chen met Qiao Ran's gaze, which was so sharp that he completely forgot his fear.

Qiao Ran lowered her head and muttered alone, thinking about something in her mind: "This can't work, it's almost over, and you still haven't remembered."

"What did I forget?"

Qiao Ran raised his head, and the moonlight elongated the shadows of the two of them, and cast them crookedly on the pillars in front of the hall. He decided something, and his smile gradually widened.

"You forgot him." The sound of the rain suddenly became louder, hitting Fang Chen's eardrums heavily and urgently, Qiao Ran said, "Didn't you grow up together?"

The gap that should have been filled got bigger and bigger, and the dagger fell to the ground. Fang Chen completely gave up his defenses and put his hands on the ground.

In those intermittent memories, Fang Chen forgot many details, each of which should have Nie Shi's presence.

They have known each other since childhood.

They have been together since the cold orphanage, when Nie kicked his quilt and said "you are so noisy" when he was five or six years old. He once raised a cat secretly. The dean saw that the kitten would not live long and opened one. Close your eyes and let him go.On that rainy day, the kitten died quietly. He hugged him tightly and shed tears. It was Nie Shi who held an umbrella for him to cover the cloudy sky; He dragged himself back to the house, wiped the snow from his hair, and gave him half of the leftover bread from lunch.

That was the happiest time in the orphanage. He forced Nie Shi to secretly make faces at Nie Shi in the classroom, causing Nie Shi to be called out even if he didn't answer the question correctly.

Fang Chen was too noisy, and Nie Shi was too quiet.The teachers didn't know why the two kids got together.

Because they are rejected by other children.Fang Chen felt that he had found a comrade-in-arms, and every time he played with him, he would take the blame together.Being wronged, Fang Chen always argued with reason, but Nie Shi didn't say a word. The two were punished together. Fang Chen asked him: "Why? Don't say a word, auntie's clothes are obviously not ours..."

"It's useless." Nie Shi said, "Once they decide on one thing, it's hard to change it."

Fang Chen was annoyed by Nie Shi's behavior sometimes, and he guessed that Nie Shi also thought he was noisy.But there is no way, other people throw them far away, they can only be together.

Later, Nie Shi was adopted by his family, and he became a person again.

Fang Chen hit the floor with a headache, his eyes were red, and tears fell down.He often cries, and since he woke up, there hasn't been a single day without tears. From the initial fear to the current bewilderment, he has no place to stay, and his fragility stems from Nie Shi.

Qiao Ran was at a loss, he knew it would hurt, but would it hurt this much?When he was alive, he was pierced by a steel pipe, and he experienced the pain again after death, but he had never experienced it like this, and he was in pain for a memory alone.

Do memories hurt that much?He doesn't understand.He stretched out his hand tremblingly and then lowered it, "Brother Fang Chen?" If Nie Shi knew that he caused Fang Chen such pain, he would die.

The vague figures in memory finally had a clear appearance, all of them were Nie Shi.

From the reunion at the age of thirteen or fourteen to the next ten years, it has always been Nie Shi.

The rain was so heavy that it overwhelmed the crying, Qiao Ran's astonished face in front of the hall was in stark contrast to Fang Chen's pain.

In the alley behind the junior high school, the senior gangsters would drag Fang Chen into the alley if he didn't like it. Fang Chen could sometimes gain the upper hand if he fought three by himself.A friend said that he would die in a fight, but he didn't like the fact that he could get over it if he was soft, so he rubbed his nose and smiled and asked, "Why?"

Every time someone came to block him, the friends who were traveling with him were afraid that they would gradually not leave with him. Only Nie Shi came to help him, and fell from the sky in various strange ways. It was too stupid to get out of the small window, it almost got stuck and couldn't get out.

He was a wild child without father and mother, and Nie Shi's adoptive parents were afraid of taking responsibility. Every time the school came forward to mediate, they would apologize to the gangsters on Nie Shi's head.

Fang Chen held back countless words of why, and finally turned into a miserable smile, reached out and patted Nie Shi's head, who was more than half a head taller than him, and said, "Forget it, don't speak for me anymore. "

Because he is used to it, no one speaks for him, and he is used to accusations for no reason.

Fang Chen made too many mistakes, but he never thought that being born was also a mistake, and he would spend the rest of his life on this mistake.

The author has something to say: I didn't remember it completely, I just put together the fragmentary memories.
