"That night, my brother went to bed very early after he came back. The next morning, he also got up very early. We had breakfast together, and when we talked about what happened yesterday at the dinner table, he even laughed and said it was yesterday. I was dazzled and scared myself. I asked him what he saw, and he said he saw a snow-white face hanging on the tree, staring down at him, or in other words, staring at him, with a pair of black eyes. , like a hole, just staring at me. I laughed when I heard it, and my brother also laughed sheepishly. We all thought he was dazzled. There were no lights in the park, and there were security guards on patrol. , sometimes I would use a flashlight to take pictures casually, or someone would smoke a cigarette, and there would be a light. My brother was probably dazzled by it. Then he went to work and after work, and nothing happened for a few days. My brother talked about friends with the girl again, We made an appointment to meet in the park. That night... that night he ran back early again... "
"Has he seen that face again?"
"Yes, he saw that face again."
Ga-da!
"H-hoo-little brother, do you smoke?"
"No, thank you."
"Huh... My brother came back early. This time without saying anything, he rushed into his house and locked himself up. He and I slept in the same room at that time. Our family's conditions were better, because the old man in the family He was an office director in the factory, and he was given a two-bedroom house. The two elders had one room, and our brothers had one room. My parents and I were watching TV, and he rushed in and slammed the door. , no matter how we knocked, he wouldn’t open it. I couldn’t get in that night, so I had to sleep in the hall. However, I didn’t actually sleep for long. His partner chased him to our house, and also rushed in. The scolding started, and all the neighbors came to watch the fun. My mother finally persuaded me to stop it and closed the door to talk. The girl wiped her tears as she spoke. I listened to her incoherent words for a long time before I finally figured it out. I understand. When my brother ran away, he was talking to her, half of his clothes were taken off, and he suddenly left the girl alone and ran away. Didn't this make people angry? After she finished scolding her, she started to worry about me again. Brother, when my mother said that my brother had locked himself in the house, she was also nervous. She leaned on the door and talked to my brother. My brother made no sound in the house. My old man got angry and asked me to knock on the door. My brother He just spoke, yelling at us not to come in. That roar... wasn't an angry sound, it was a fearful sound. Phew—"
"and after?"
"Later, my mother took the girl to the next room to talk, and then sent her away properly. I saw that the girl was very worried, but she still left. My mother sent her away, and then turned to us. Said softly, my brother probably... Maybe there was a sudden problem there, so he left the girl and ran away halfway, and now he has locked himself up. I don't believe that is the case, but my parents believe it. , they were hanging on the door, doing ideological work for my brother there, persuading him to go see a doctor, etc., and they spent most of the night. My brother got annoyed and yelled again, and everyone went to sleep first. I woke up the next day. Come on, he opened the door, but under his eyes, it was pitch black, like a person who was about to die. My mother became anxious when she saw it, and asked my father to ask for leave for my brother, and immediately took him there. See a doctor. My brother also agreed. I went with him that day. Phew—"
"It's hard for people to know about my brother's illness. We didn't go to the factory hospital, we went to a big hospital in the city. It took a long time to ride bicycles from the factory. It was fine at first, but when we got to the city , there was a road in front of the hospital, which was rare at that time, because there were trees planted in two neat rows. I remember it was summer, and the trees were full of green leaves, covering half of the road, and the sun was shining brightly. When we came down, the road was full of lights. I later watched documentaries and filmed that road. It was the famous Love Road in the city at that time. People who were friends nearby would go there for a walk, just like those in our factory. Like a park.”
"Well, is it Kangxin Road?"
"Yes, yes! It's Kangxin Road! It was the first time I went there, and I found it a bit strange. Our family had always lived near the factory at that time. We were originally farmers. After building the factory, we became workers. , I don’t often come here in the city. My mother and I both thought it was beautiful, and the speed of the bike slowed down, and then we heard a bang... We both turned around and saw that my brother had fallen. He was riding the bike well. There was no other car, so he fell. The bicycle was lying on the road, half of his legs were under the bicycle, and he was sitting on the ground, with his neck raised and his eyes straight. I was not far from him at that time, so I looked at his face The blood on his face receded, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, sliding down his face. His body was trembling, causing the bicycle to tremble with it, and it hit the ground with a rattling sound. There was wind, and the leaves were rustling. Suddenly he screamed..."
"Mr. Li, be careful about the smoke."
"Ah? Oh... Phew - I still remember his scream. I have never heard him scream like that. I remember that he entered the factory as an apprentice. Once, his hand almost caused the machine to get involved, but he didn't scream either. , was still very calm, and shouted to the dazed people next to him to quickly turn off the machine. People in the factory said that he was brave and promising. But at that time, he was sitting on the ground, and when he screamed, everyone around him looked over. Phew— I went over to help him and put my hand on his shoulder. I found that it was such a hot summer day that his body was as cold as ice. I probably blocked his view at that time. He looked at me for a while and then gradually calmed down. Come down. I helped him up. He lowered his head, wiped his sweat, and became numb. My mother and I asked him what was wrong, and he said it was nothing. I later thought that he saw that thing again at that time. Show your face."
"Wait a minute, you keep saying your brother saw a face?"
"Yes, he told me that he saw a face."
"Isn't it a human head?"
"Human head... maybe a head. I haven't seen what he said. He always said 'face' when he said it to me."
"Well, okay. Sorry to interrupt you, please continue."
"Then we went to the hospital. My mother went to register him, and I accompanied him. Queuing, seeing the doctor... He seemed to be absent-minded all the time. The doctor was quite nice. He persuaded him for a while and explained to him that the disease was very serious. It's normal, not embarrassing, and it can definitely be cured. Then wait in line for examinations and so on... We were walking in the hospital, and he suddenly stopped, stared at a hospital bulletin board for a long time, pointed to one of the photos and said he wanted to see this doctor . My mother and I went over to take a look. It was an ophthalmologist, an expert of some sort. My mother asked him what was going on, but he didn’t answer and ran to register himself. My mother couldn’t catch up with him, but I caught up with him and asked. What's the matter with him? He didn't say anything. We were registered. I had nothing to do, so I said I would go find my mother first and let's go see some experts together. When we were walking back, he suddenly started talking. , I said something incoherently, I probably have a disease in my eyes. I thought, if I’m not sick, can I think about going to the ophthalmology department? What my brother said the other day when he saw a snow-white face suddenly popped into my head, I scared myself to death... Phew - after that, I found my mother, and she was talking about it, and accompanied my brother to see an ophthalmologist. My brother refused to let us be around, so he kicked us out and left him alone with the doctor. After seeing a doctor, when he came out, he was in a daze, and he had to register again, and he registered for... psychiatry."
