go the same way

Li Pei opened his eyes suddenly, struggled out of the water, and grabbed the smooth edge of the bathtub with both hands.

The airway was forced to choke some water, and he coughed violently to make room to breathe normally.The cold was piercing, and he was soaked all over, and his clothes were tightly adhered to the cold skin, but he felt nothing but cold and lack of oxygen.

It shouldn't be like this.

He calmed down for a while, then tremblingly touched his chest with his fingers, and his fingertips got a violent pulsation.

It's like, it's proving itself through an adventure, and in the end it beats common sense and comes back to life.

According to common sense, anyone who clings to the temple and lets the high-speed bullet penetrate the skull and burst out has no chance of surviving.

——He killed himself with his own hands, using an old gun with a large caliber that had been retired for many years.

And he survived, unscathed.

It was a strange thing, and it might have been a long lucid dream, so he wasn't surprised or surprised.

He had seen stranger hearts.

Half of the tank of water was already completely cold, Li Pei's reaction was a little slow, his body shivered a few times, and then he propped himself up with both hands, and slowly climbed out of the bathtub.

His body temperature was very low, and his clothes were dripping wet, and it was difficult to take them off. Fortunately, the towel was dry and could barely cover his messy body.

When passing the sink, Li Pei glanced at the mirror.

He felt it, because he had long hair before he died, and watched it change from black and smooth to frizzy and dry, being tortured and dying together with his body.But now his hair was very short, and the tips of his hair did not drip continuously after being wet.

He is 30 years old and has been drinking again. His face is often sallow and bad. There are wrinkles between his brows because of frequent frowning, but the people in the mirror are not.

Under the pale yellow light, his fair skin glowed delicately and softly. He had no worries or bad habits, and exuded a youthful and fresh flavor from the inside out.

Li Pei inherited most of his mother's appearance, double eyelids, high nose bridge, three-dimensional facial features, but not rough lines, every point is just right.When he was young, someone laughed at him for being a girl, but his brother beat him up all over the place. When he grew up, there were many suitors around him, both men and women, but he used to think that those people were too impetuous, so he never agreed.

Otherwise, if he really became a vagabond, he might not be completely defeated in his relationship.

The person in the mirror is Li Pei, there is no doubt about it, but he feels so strange and distant.

Where is he?

He knew everything in this bathroom, the mint-flavored toothpaste on the sink, the light blue toothbrush that had been changed countless times and never changed, and the violet and iris eau de toilette that he liked very much before.

In a small transparent glass tank, there are still many small stones of various shapes.

It was picked up by his elder brother when he was a child by the river.

He had only seen a photo of that man at his father's funeral, except for his mother, Li Yan, who was seven years older than him, taught him everything.

I heard from his mother that when Li Pei was born, Li Yan was in elementary school, when he was having a lot of fun, but he never stayed with the little boys in the class, took a long way, and always rushed out of the classroom immediately He ran home just to see his younger brother who was sleeping non-stop.

The baby in the cradle is carved with jade, like a little doll out of a painting.

Li Yan cautiously stretched out his fingers to touch Li Pei's slightly curled hand. Unexpectedly, he was grasped by the soft little hand, and he was reluctant to pull out to wake up the sleeping child. He just stood there in his brother's cradle side until he woke up again from hunger.

There are always people in this world who will love you unconditionally since you were born.

Later, his brother and mother taught him to walk, talk, wear clothes, tie shoes, teach him to hold a pen in the most standard posture, and write the names of his family members over and over again on paper.

Li Pei's best writing is "acting".

In the sunny spring, they would go to the river to fly kites. He didn't understand anything, but he just liked to look at the countless and extremely lonely stones beside the shallows.

Every time he picked up a piece, he put it in a small glass jar after returning home, and changed the water every three to five times. Li Yan took him to the riverside many times, so he also owned a lot of stones.

He wanted to find the most beautiful one and give it to his dear brother.

But there are thousands of stubborn stones in this world, he only found two or three, and lost Li Yan forever.

Since then, his life has suddenly turned into a long alley with no exit.

He used the most radical way to exchange for liberation, but found that after death, people will not go to hell, nor can they squeeze into heaven, but will return home, to this hometown that gave him countless memories, laughter and pain.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It’s just that I couldn’t bear to look at the colorful little stones anymore. Li Pei walked into the bedroom. He has lived here since he was six years old. Every small corner was once his secret base, and the furnishings are as they are in his memory. .He found a set of clothes from the cloakroom, his face was not visible, and when he bent down to put on his trousers, he realized that his limbs were slender and unreasonably emaciated.I didn't pay much attention when I felt my heart beating just now, but in retrospect, my chest seems to be considered bony, and my ribs can be easily touched.

His physical fitness was actually pretty good when he died.

After changing his clothes, Li Pei felt that his cold hands and feet were finally getting warmer, but his hair was still a little wet, and he didn't bother to dry it.He lived on the second floor, and after a lot of tossing around, his mouth was a little dry. There was no water cup in the room, and a pot of boiling water could be boiled in the kitchen, so he opened the door and went downstairs.

"It's today's birthday, and I haven't prepared a gift yet. What do you think I should give him?" The man looked up, saw Li Pei on the stairs, and smiled at him, "Xiao Pei, are you awake? The nap time is a bit too long I'm going upstairs to call you. Why don't you dry your hair, tidy up and get ready to go out, Xiao Cong, get a towel for my uncle."

The person who spoke didn't look like him.

Short cut, tough, and healthy complexion, it is not an exaggeration to use any positive words to describe him, Li Yan is close to sunshine.

Li Yan just stood there so naturally, caring about him in an all-too-familiar tone.

The moment he saw him again, Li Pei had already determined that this was a beautiful dream constructed by his remaining will, and the duration of this dream... was not.

Li Pei's heart ached badly, he clasped the armrest tightly, and when he opened his eyes again, they were all blurred.

A towel was stuffed into his hand, Li Pei wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, clutched the towel in his hand in a daze, and found a twelve or thirteen-year-old child standing under the steps, frowning and looking at him worriedly. Own.

His appearance is exactly the same as Li Yan's, except that his face is a little round, which is the softness inherited from his mother.

The child spoke with a childish voice: "Mom, uncle is crying, is he feeling unwell?"

He followed Li Cong's gaze, and it turned out that there was a dignified woman standing beside Li Yan. She smoothed the last wrinkle of her shirt for Li Yan, raised her head slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone: "Little If Pei is not feeling well, or else you stay with him and Xiao Cong and I go to meet today's appointment, he will definitely understand."

It was different, different from anything he had experienced before.

Ji Changqing passed away in [-], and her son has never met Li Yan.

Suddenly, Li Pei had an answer in his heart.

He came to the most regrettable night of his life.
