Chapter 3 Number 091 - Grimace in the Water (3)
"That night, my brother went to bed very early after he came back. The next morning, he got up very early. We had breakfast together and talked about yesterday's events at the dinner table. He also laughed, saying that he was confused yesterday and scared himself. I asked him what he saw, and he said that he saw a snow-white face hanging on the tree, staring at him from a high point, or, staring at himself, his black eyes, like a hole, staring at himself tightly.
I laughed when I heard this, and my brother smiled embarrassedly. We all thought he was confused. There was no light in the park, there was a security guard on patrol duty. Sometimes he would turn on a flashlight to see it casually, or someone smoked a cigarette, and there was a blind spot. My brother probably looked at it like that. Later, when I went to work and got off work, I had nothing to do for a few days. My brother talked to the girl and made an appointment to meet the park. That night... he ran back early that night..."
"His he saw that face again?"
"Yes, he saw that face again."
Gadda!
"Hmm-Hhh-Little brother, are you smoking?"
"No, thank you."
"Huh--... My brother came back early. This time, he didn't say anything, so he rushed into his own house and locked himself up. He and I slept in the same house at that time. Our family was better because the old man in the house was the office director in the factory and divided into two bedrooms and one living room houses, two old rooms and one living room, two old rooms and one brother room. My parents and I were watching TV. He rushed in and then slammed the door. No matter how we knocked, he didn't open it. I couldn't even go in that night, so I could only sleep in the hall. However, in fact, I didn't sleep for a long time. His partner chased him and rushed in and started scolding him when he came in. The neighbors all ran to watch the fun and called out.
My mother finally persuaded her and closed the door to speak. The girl wiped her tears as she spoke. I heard her incoherently, and it took a long time to figure it out. My brother was running away with her. She took off her clothes halfway, and suddenly she threw the girl away alone. Isn’t this annoying? She scolded her and worried about my brother again. When she heard my mother say that my brother shut her up in the house, she was nervous and lay on the door to talk to my brother. My brother didn’t have any sound in the room. My old man got angry and called me to hit the door. My brother spoke, yelling and asking us not to come in. That roar... is not the kind of angry, but the kind of fear. Huh--"
"What happened later?"
"Later, my mother pulled the girl to the next room to talk, and after that, she sent the person out. I saw that the girl was very worried, but she left. My mother sent the person away, and turned around and whispered to us, "My brother probably... Maybe something happened there suddenly, so she left the girl halfway, and now she locked herself up. I don't believe it, but my parents believed it, so they lie on the door.
There was a mental work for my brother, and I advised him to go to see a doctor or something. After a long time, my brother got upset and shouted again, and everyone went to bed first. When he woke up the next day, he opened the door, but under his eyes, it was black and black, just like the kind of person who was about to die. My mother was anxious when she saw it, and asked my father to ask my brother for leave and immediately took him to see the doctor. My brother also agreed. That day, I accompanied him. Huh--"
"My brother's illness is not good for people to know. We didn't go to the factory hospital. We went to the big hospital in the city. We had to ride a bicycle from the factory for a long time. At the beginning, it was fine. When we arrived in the city, there was a road at the entrance of the hospital. It was rare at that time because there were trees planted there, two neat rows. I remember it was summer. The trees were covered with green leaves, covering half of the road. The sun shone, and the road was full of light spots. I watched the documentary later and took a photo. It was a famous love road in the city at that time. Those who talked about friends nearby ran there for a walk, just like the park in our factory."
"Well, is it Kang Xinlu?"
"Yes, yes! It's Kangxin Road! It's the first time I went there, and I saw it a little strange. Our family had been living in the factory at that time. It turned out to be a farmer. After building the factory, they became workers. They didn't come often in the city. My mother and I thought it was so beautiful. The speed of riding slowed down, and then we heard a clang... We both turned around and saw my brother falling. The bicycle was riding well, and there were no other cars beside him, so he fell. The bicycle was crossing the road, and half of his legs pressed under the bicycle, sitting on the ground, tilting his neck, and his eyes were straight. I was not far from him at that time, and I watched the blood on his face fading away, cold sweat on his forehead slid out, and he slid down from his face. His body was trembling, and the bicycle was trembling, and it was knocking on the ground, shaking. There was wind and the leaves were rustling, and he suddenly started to scream..."
"Mr. Li, beware of smoke."
"Ah? Oh... Huh--I still remember his screams. I have never heard him scream like that. I remember he entered the factory and became an apprentice. Once he almost called the machine in his hand. He didn't call him, and he was still calm. He called the person who was stunned to turn off the machine quickly. Everyone in the factory said that he was brave and promising. But at that time, he sat on the ground and screamed that everyone around him looked over. Hu--I went over to help him, put his hand on his shoulder, and found that it was cold in the summer, and he was like ice. Maybe I blocked his sight at that time. He looked at me for a while, and slowly calmed down. I helped him up, lowered his head, wiped his sweat, and became dull. My mother and I asked him what was wrong, and he said nothing. Later I thought, he saw that face again at that time."
"Please wait a moment, you keep saying that your brother is seeing a face?"
"Yes, he told me that he saw a face."
"Isn't it a head?"
"The head... may be the head. I haven't seen what he said before. When he said to me, he kept saying 'face'."
"Well, OK. Sorry to interrupt you, please continue."
"Next we went to the hospital. My mother went to register for him, and I accompanied him. I lined up and saw the doctor... He seemed to be absent-minded. The doctor was quite good. He advised him for a while and explained to him that the disease was normal, not embarrassing, and it would definitely be cured. Then he lined up for examinations and other things... When we walked in the hospital, he suddenly stopped, stared at a propaganda board of the hospital for a while, and pointed to one of the photos and said he wanted to see the doctor. My mother and I came over to see him. He was an ophthalmologist and an expert. My mother asked him what was going on, but he didn't answer, and ran to register by himself. My mother couldn't catch up with him, and I chased him and asked him what was going on. He didn't say anything. He didn't say anything. My mother couldn't catch up with him. I chased him and asked him what was going on. He didn't say anything. My mother didn't say a word. My mother couldn't catch up with him.
