Chapter 972 Two Loves
"My love?" Zhang Mingli's excitement calmed down a little. Love was a turning point in his life and the beginning of alienation.
The smoke was blown away by the night wind. Zhang Mingli was silent for a while before speaking: "I have had two loves. The first love was my first love. We have known each other since junior high school."
"Childhood sweetheart?"
"No, she said I was a loser from the same village." Zhang Mingli smoked a cigarette and drove at night. Occasionally the vehicle shook, and the passenger's fire ax would flick: "We were very poor when we were young, but we did very well in school. We went to the only junior high school in the town, and later entered the best high school in the city. I was always first in the class, and she was always second. I always They all liked her. At that time, my liking was not mixed with anything. Thinking about it carefully, I don’t know what I like about her. I just feel that being close to her makes me feel at ease.”
"Then have you confessed?" Huang Ying also turned his head.
"I have a crush, and I tried to express it tactfully once." Zhang Mingli put his fingers on the steering wheel: "I know she is very strong, so I deliberately missed a few questions in the midterm exam of my second year of high school. I want to give her a first place.”
“Is this the romance of a top student?” Han Fei also became interested: “What happens next?” The bastard took first place, she is still second, I control the points I failed and got sixth place in the exam, but I was further away from her." Zhang Mingli punched the steering wheel: "Later, I studied hard and passed the exam in the same city as her. We met again at a provincial competition. The feeling of an old friend.”
“I didn’t fall in love in college. She was the person of the opposite sex who talked to me the most. I didn’t know what kind of life she lived. I was very curious about everything about her, but I didn’t want to ask. After all, we didn’t have anything. relationship.”
"The real change happened before graduation. During that time, she was extremely depressed and learned to drink. She seemed to have no friends, which was very similar to me."
When Zhang Mingli talked about love, he used swear words There are obviously a lot less people, and people look a little more normal: "We She took the initiative to invite me on our first date. She said she wanted to have a drink, and I didn't think much about it. We talked a lot that day, maybe because we had grown up, so many of the topics we had never talked about before. What we talked about were plans for future work, the desire to realize the value of life, And the yearning for a better life.”
“Actually, I don’t know how to drink at all. That was my first time drinking, so I drank one cup after another stupidly.”
"I was very innocent at that time. After drinking, I couldn't stop talking about what was going on in my heart. Outside. Her future is all about herself, but the future I long for is all about her.”
“What’s the point of hard work? Isn’t it that when you meet someone you like, you can ignore material things. , work, reality, can we have a vigorous love? ”
"Most people don't have this qualification, and they just take it one step at a time, but I started planning my life very early and tried my best very early on."
Smoke filled the air, Zhang Mingli's words The speed has slowed down a bit: “When I was about to graduate from college, It was very happy for me. We were together every day, but after graduation, she went to work in another city. "Aren't you together?" Huang Ying also asked Zhang Mingli for one. A cigarette, this thirty-year-old man seems to be addicted to it.
“She didn’t give me an answer.” Zhang Mingli looked at the dark night road: “Ninety percent of a person’s pain comes from obsession. Knowing that he is holding on to a rose covered with thorns, But even if my palms are full of blood, I won’t let go. That’s the kind of person I was when I was a kid. Even if the word "thank you" appears, I will still look forward to scratching out all four words "thank you for your patronage" before giving up. When I grow up, I will still do this."
"Knocking on a closed door. Wouldn't it be impolite?" Huang Ying put one hand on the car window, this nightmare seemed like three men traveling alone.
"Yeah, I was hesitant, but then the door opened for me."
The night train was speeding on the dark night road, and no one seemed to know where the end point was.
“When we got together, I was rushing to get married from the beginning, because I knew I had nothing, so I worked hard. I didn’t want her to be wronged, and I didn’t want her to feel that following me was a Wrong choice."
"I will meet her every need, that one. I was like a superman during that time. Maybe this is the power of love.”
“She is also a very good person. She is no worse than me in terms of work ability. She is also very good at taking care of others, gentle and virtuous. , he is very polite to everyone, and he also volunteers in the welfare home in his spare time.”
"In my eyes, her life seems to be shining, reflecting on me like a flame."
This should have been a perfect story, but as the ashes fell, Zhang Mingli slowly walked out of his memories: "She Very good, everything seems to be good at first glance, but I don’t understand why such a person would cheat on me?”
“Did she cheat?”
“That’s not the case. Cheating, it's just that staying with me is too boring, and she can't let go of this stability." Zhang Mingli lit another cigarette: "Maybe she has another hidden side, a side that only she knows, and I don't want to see that. Thinking about her in a bad way, it's the same when we're together, and it's the same after we're separated. "Have you guys broken up?" Huang Ying asked curiously after taking over from Han Fei.
"Well, a few days before we were about to get married." Zhang Mingli was extremely calm when talking about his first relationship: "My love with her did not teach me what love is. To me, she is like someone I have been chasing in my life. The sun, one day I truly held it in my arms, only to realize that besides its dazzling In addition, it will burn my soul and burn me to death. Maybe this is not love."
"Looking back now, most of my memories of her are blurred. I love her so much, but what I regret is that she has climbed mountains, crossed oceans, and is exhausted. "
"After I separated from her, I went to teach. I came from a poor background and knew the difficulties of those children in the mountainous areas. I wanted to help them change their destiny, at least not to follow my old path. "
“Actually, I am a person with very low self-esteem. Such a person No matter how good you are, you will shrink when you encounter love, leaving only pain in the end."
"So in my opinion, love is the same as pain. I had this idea, and my second relationship told me that this is the truth..."
As soon as Zhang Mingli said this, a "dong dong" sound suddenly came from the trunk of the car, as if someone was knocking on the car body.
Han Fei and Huang Ying in the back seat could hear clearly that the trunk of the car was opened by some force, and something was crawling outside the car!
Black blood flowed down the car window glass, and the sound of nails scratching came from the roof. A few seconds later, a bloody face suddenly stretched out!
There was a long-dead female corpse lying on the roof of the car, looking down at Zhang Mingli through the front window of the car.
“Holy shit!”
Applying the brakes, Zhang Mingli stopped the car. When he recovered from the shock, the female body lying on the roof of the car was gone.
“Have you seen a female corpse!” Zhang Mingli shouted loudly.
Huang Ying did not answer immediately and looked at Han Fei. Whether he saw it or not depended on Han Fei's opinion.
"We also saw it. She... seemed to crawl out of your trunk." Han Fei stared at Zhang Mingli, waiting for Zhang Mingli to give an explanation.
"Impossible! How could there be a corpse in my trunk!" Zhang Mingli didn't seem to be lying. He walked out of the car and opened the trunk: "No! There's not even a drop of blood in my trunk. No! How could you hide a body?”
"Would you like to go down and take a look?" Huang Ying's hand grabbed the car door.
Han Fei was also about to open the car door, but as soon as he opened the car door a crack, the bloody ghost patterns on his body were triggered. It seemed that something very dangerous was waiting for them outside the car!
"Don't go down, this nightmare is a bit special..." Han Fei said softly: "Zhang Mingli's tablet contains many photos of a woman. Although those photos cover her face, judging from her body shape , the woman in the tablet should not be the female corpse. "
"Could it be that Zhang Mingli killed his first love by himself? But he forgot about it?" Huang Ying made a guess.
“If Zhang Mingli is the master of nightmares, then this night road is his life. The burned home, the old man who touched him three times, and the female corpse should all be symbols of something, and it does not necessarily mean that A female corpse represents a dead person." After Han Fei and Huang Ying exchanged a few words, Zhang Mingli returned to the car after checking the trunk.
"It feels like those dirty things are trying to stop me! They don't want me to continue driving, but I don't believe in evil, so I will drive all the way today!" Zhang Mingli is not afraid of ghosts. He doesn't seem to care about real ghosts or fake ghosts.
After fixing the fire ax, Zhang Mingli did not forget to turn around and comfort Han Fei and Huang Ying: "Don't be afraid, either. If the female corpse comes out again, I will kill it with my axe!"
"What if it can't be killed?"
"Then drag it into the car! Tie it to the passenger seat! Read the Tao Te Ching to it!" Zhang Mingli said fiercely.
The vehicle started, and the night wind blew into the car. Several people seemed to slowly forget what happened just now, and started talking about the previous topics again.
"Teacher Zhang, your second relationship seems to be more unforgettable?"
"The second relationship should be true love. I met someone who changed my life, and I understood happiness, joy, joy, and The meaning of life, that girl became my wife." Zhang Mingli's eyes became gentle, and all his madness melted away just by thinking about his wife.
"It seems that she is your true love." Huang Ying asked Zhang Mingli for a cigarette again and listened patiently.
“Actually, I went out this time just to find her.” Zhang Mingli clenched the steering wheel with both hands: “No matter what I encounter along the way, I will drive on until I meet her.”
"Your wife also left you? Are there any conflicts between you?" Huang Ying is almost forty and has not yet been married. He also wants to know what married life is like.
"I love her very much, and she loves me very much, but she feels that we can't be together anymore." When Zhang Mingli said this, he suddenly saw a child squatting next to an abandoned phone booth on the roadside. The child was only three or four years old. age.
The car had already passed by, but Zhang Mingli suddenly reversed and parked the car next to the phone booth: "Please wait for me a moment. It is late at night and it is not safe for the child to be alone on the roadside. "
"He may not be a child, maybe a ghost baby."
"It must be sad for him to be alone, right?" Zhang Mingli didn't bring the fire ax and got out of the car. I grabbed a handful of candy and walked out.
The child, who was standing next to the phone booth with his head lowered, was wearing pure white clothes and crying resentfully.
"Little brat, stop crying. Uncle will give you candy." Zhang Mingli seemed to be afraid that the smell of cigarette smoke would choke the child, so he waited for the wind to blow for a while before passing over: "Where are your parents?"
The boy raised his head and saw that he looked slightly similar to Zhang Mingli.
"Speak! You have to tell me what kind of trouble you are in, so that I can help you." Zhang Mingli gave the candy to the little boy. He could feel that the boy's body was like an ice cube, without any temperature. (End of this chapter)
