Xiao Xiao didn't know how to speak. She didn't want to tell the young man in front of her about her resentment towards her sister, because that was the dark side she kept deep in her heart, and this dark side was bound to make the young man hate her. After struggling for a long time, she decided to hide the real reason for her sadness from him.
"Sorry, it may not be convenient for you to tell me, so I won't ask. Sometimes I am a bit nosy!" The young man said in a different voice, "Although you told me not far away, I can teach you. I’ll give you a way to relieve your troubles!”
He took out a dozen sticky notes and a pen from his pants pocket, stared at the top page and scribbled a URL and handed it to Xiao Xiao.
"What is this?" Xiao Xiao stared at the website and asked after confirming that it was an unfamiliar website.
"Well, it's a very interesting forum. The posts on it are quite interesting. Moreover, no one can see each other on the Internet. You can also post your troubles there." After the young man explained, he narrowed his eyes gently. Eyes smiled.
"Okay, I'll go up and take a look when I have time!" Xiao Xiao nodded.
Later, the young man casually chatted with her for a few words and then left. After she returned to the hospital building, she first went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then took the elevator to the ward on the fifth floor. Although there was nothing she could do, she still had to get a lunch box to help her sister prepare meals.
Their parents had already left, thinking that they all had other work to do in the evening. As usual, she took care of her sister to eat the food, helped her cook everything, and then talked to her for a while until she went to bed. Just left. Sitting on the last bus, the bumpy ride, she looked out the window at the neon lights that completely engulfed the light of the stars, and her brain, which was as tired as her body, became slower and slower.
Suddenly, she rummaged through her pockets as if she remembered something. The encounter with the young man seemed like a dream. The memory was sweet and a little empty, so that she urgently needed to find something to prove that they had indeed talked.
"Fortunately, they are all still there!"
She turned over the handkerchief that the young man lent her in her schoolbag and felt that it had extraordinary significance to her. And placed with the handkerchief was the forum address he wrote to her. She didn't have a computer at home, so she could only use her mobile phone to access the Internet. She usually saves her data for fear of wasting money, but this time she did. I couldn't resist the temptation of that address.
When she returned to their small apartment, she suddenly found that there was no money in the electricity card. Her parents were still working and had not returned, so she had to wait until tomorrow morning to recharge. The lack of electricity is actually good news for Xiao Xiao, because in this case, she doesn't have to do housework tonight.
She found a candle and washed herself briefly by relying on the dim light of the candle, then returned to the small bedroom she shared with her sister. He climbed to the top of the bunk bed, took out the sticky note and his cell phone, and entered the URL above with a feeling of anxiety.
The magical forum without a name suddenly popped up on the screen of her mobile phone. She flicked through it with her fingers and carefully read the posts in the forum one by one. The contents of many posts sounded like they were around her. The same thing happened, which made her particularly empathetic.
She was completely attracted by the content in this forum. She was completely sleepless, but her eyes were slightly tired from staring at the phone screen in the dark for a long time. Just when she was about to put down her phone and take a break, a small icon at the bottom of the screen began to glow blinkingly. With one click, the forum private message dialog box occupied the entire screen.
The forum owner and Xiao Xiao started communicating through private messages. The content of what they said was similar to what they had said to the other two before, but the feeling he gave Xiao Xiao was very different. She felt that he must have been in her heart once, otherwise how could he grasp all her pain and helplessness so accurately.
He promised to give her a chance to be free, and persuaded her that this opportunity would also be a relief for her sister Xiao Ai. Because it is difficult for her parents to raise money for a second bone marrow transplant for her sister, and the doctor has said that based on her sister's current condition, even if the transplant is performed, it will be delayed for a few more years at most. As the disease worsens, her sister will become more frail and the entire family will suffer.
Forum moderator: She will understand, you are helping her!
Visitor 1307: I just feel too tired, as if I can never see hope. I am clearly struggling in the endless darkness, but I have to keep moving forward.
Forum Moderator: I understand how you feel, so let me help you and her be liberated together!
Visitor 1307: How can I contact you again
Forum Leader: Don’t worry, I will find you, and you will also have to pay some compensation for this commission.
Visitor 1307: Okay, any kind of reward is fine.
After the dialog box disappeared, the forum became unable to open the web page.
Xiao Xiao looked up at the ceiling very close to her. The paintings on the ceiling were painted by her and her sister before. For this matter, her mother even scolded them. It was only with her father's persuasion that her mother finally calmed down. .
The painting was of a plant that she couldn't name. The plant had two branches on the same stem, and there were two flowers on each branch. She remembered that the pink flower represented her, and the purple one represented her sister Xiao Ai.
When they painted this picture together, it was shortly after my sister was discharged from the hospital after a bone marrow transplant. My father specially ordered this bunk bed so that some space in the room could be saved for a desk and wardrobe. . The two sisters were extremely happy. They climbed to the upper level of the bunk bed and found that they could reach the ceiling by standing here. They suddenly had the idea of painting on it.
After finishing the painting, her sister took her hand and said to her very seriously: "This plant is called twin flower. Just like the two of us, we grow from the same root. From now on, we will always grow together." Be open. Even if one day, I am no longer here, you must live well with me. As long as you exist, our roots will still be there. No matter where I drift to, I can feel you."
Xiao Xiao felt as if the corners of her eyes were moist again. Her sister Xiao Ai had never suffered because she was healthier than her. On the contrary, she always smiled and watched her running or jumping...doing what she couldn't do. In her opinion, only her sister Xiao Xiao is happy, so she can feel the same happiness.
A few days have passed since the exchange between Xiao Xiao and the forum leader.
In Ouyang's ancient house, Min Endong was convinced by Dong Muya's point of view, and together with her, he told Ouyang Xiaoleng their inferences. In addition to Xiao Xiao, who was the focus, there were two other alternatives. Therefore, for the next task, Ouyang Xiaoleng, Xia Qiu and Ran Mingzhu need to act separately.
Although the mission to follow Xiao Xiao is the most dangerous, because she is both a woman, it will be easier to move around in the inpatient department, so she can only be left to Xia Qiu to keep an eye on her. For this reason, Ran Mingzhu was still a little dissatisfied. Her dissatisfaction was not directed at Xia Qiu, but because she was depressed because her abilities were inferior to others.
"Remember to keep your mobile phone open. If the person you are following is in trouble, notify the other two people immediately! Try not to fight the parasitic spirit alone. That guy is very cunning and may come up with some tricks." Ouyang Xiaoleng was talking to him. Xia Qiu and Ran Mingzhu instructed before parting.
Xia Qiu followed Xiao Xiao to the city hospital on the No. 5 bus. Today, Xiao Xiao looked not only tired but also disappointed because the young man who lent her a handkerchief had not shown up for several days. She deliberately washed and ironed the handkerchief, and carried it with her every day, just so that she could return it to him and say thank you to him in person.
She couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and open the browser to see if she could still log into the forum. Unexpectedly, although the web page was opened, it was a completely different website from before. She suspected that she had made a mistake in the URL, so she dug out the sticky note in her schoolbag. After confirming that the URL was correct, she tried a few more times, but it seemed that the forum no longer existed.
When the bus arrived at the city hospital, Xia Qiu deliberately kept a distance from Xiao Xiao. She had done homework with teacher Dong Muya beforehand and knew which section and floor of the inpatient building Xiao Xiao's sister Xiao Ai should live in.
Xiao Xiao helped her sister take care of everything as usual, and gave her another full-body massage before she was ready to rest. Xia Qiu felt moved when she saw this. It was hard for her to imagine that Xiao Xiao, who treated her sister so carefully, would have thoughts similar to killing her sister.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Xiao Xiao to leave the hospital, but nothing happened. Xia Qiugang was about to breathe a sigh of relief. Who knew that after walking out of the inpatient building, Xiao Xiao did not leave the hospital, but walked around the inpatient building to the back. This move made Xia Qiu feel very strange.
In fact, Xiao Xiao didn't know why she came to this flower bed again. Maybe she had a little expectation that he would appear here. If he was wearing a white shirt and standing under this clear and soft moonlight, it would definitely be a beautiful picture. It was a pity that he was not here. Only the little flowers that she had not seen clearly that day were still blooming. They were swaying in the breeze, as if they were nodding towards her again. She sat down on the edge of the flower bed and stared at the flowers, completely unaware of Xia Qiu who was observing her not far away.
At this time, the mobile phone in Xia Qiu's pocket suddenly vibrated. She thought it was Ouyang Xiaoleng or Ran Mingzhu who had a problem, so she quickly took out the mobile phone. The text message was from Ouyang Xiaoleng, and the content was to ask her if anything happened here. She was just about to restore him, and everything was normal for the time being, but she felt a dark shadow flickering in front of her eyes. When she looked up again, Xiao Xiao sitting by the flower bed had disappeared.
"Oops!"
She knew that during the short few seconds when she read the text message, it was impossible for Xiao Xiao to leave here with her own strength, unless it was caused by the parasitic spirit, so she hurriedly ran to the door of Area A of the inpatient building, calling as she ran Ouyang Xiaoleng called.
"Hey, Xiao Leng! The parasitic spirit has appeared!" She whispered into the microphone.
"Don't act rashly, wait for me!" Ouyang Xiaoleng hung up the phone after finishing his instructions.
Xia Qiu knew that he would arrive soon, but she had to go to Xiao Ai's ward immediately to find out what was going on, because if Xiao Xiao had been controlled by the parasitic spirit, she might kill Xiao Ai at any time and make a big mistake. .
