Abyss Express

Jiang Xueming immediately ran to the self-service bank and deposited the two tickets into the account.

In front of the machine, he was uneasy and full of expectations.

If it is said that these weird and inexplicable tickets can be faked by other people and even by money detectors.

For Xue Ming, this is tantamount to great news.

He needs money badly. Never want to be poor again.

His younger sister Bai Lu's condition is getting worse and worse. Even if he borrows money from usury, he has to cure her sister's strange disease.

The two siblings were born in a desolate and poor mountain village.

When Xueming was seventeen, his family arranged for him to work in a battery factory.

There is no other reason than poverty.

When Bai Lu was fourteen years old, her parents chose a family at Chongling Bakou, asked for a marriage gift of 80,000 yuan, and sent their daughter out with a clearly marked price.

There is no other reason than poverty.

In front of the ATMs of self-service banks, the cramped and dirty common area is filled with the smell of cigarettes.

Xue Ming pressed his hand on the yellowed operating table, and he listened to the crisp clicking sound when the machine was running repeatedly to check the banknotes.

How he hoped that these two treacherous tickets could be his last life-saving money.

He thought carefully, recalling.

Four years ago, in that mountain town.

When my sister was tied to the sedan chair, she cast him a desperate and helpless look.

Later, he fled with his sister.

If you want to escape from home, you have to escape from the network of relatives and friends from far and wide.

I want my parents to never find them again, and flee far, far away.

They agreed to live together.

The phone vibrated.

The deposit text message was sent.

"It's done."

Xueming took away the bank card anxiously, but reality does not allow people to think too much about this day.

He timidly looked around and walked back to the rented site from Longbiao Road, but the distance was only about 500 meters. He was as guilty as a child who had done something bad, avoiding the scorching eyes of his parents.

He brought some daily necessities necessary for life at the convenience store in Linxiang. I went to the Hong Kong Sheng Market to buy vegetables again, and I was going home to make some delicious food for my sister.

Carrying two big bags of things, he opened the small door of the pigeon cage, and Bai Lu's face with red spots was in front of him.

Bai Luyi had that timid look, as if she was afraid of light, and also afraid that her ugly appearance would be seen by her neighbors.

She pulled Xue Ming's brother to let Xue Ming enter the house quickly. He saw what Xueming was holding again.

"Brother, where did you get these things? Didn't you go to work today? Don't sell offal anymore?"

Xueming hesitated for a while.

He didn't know whether he should tell Bai Lu about the ticket, after all, this matter smacked of danger from inside to outside.

He just managed to squeeze out some smiles, talking to Bai Lu while tidying up the sundries and kitchen utensils.

"The bonus is distributed today. I told the store manager that you are sick. The store manager is kind-hearted and wants me to come back to take care of you. I will go back after you recover from your illness."

Bai Lu didn't ask any more questions, but just sat back at the small table, her eyes were shrewd and a little uneasy. It seems to have guessed something from it.

After a long time, Jiang Xueming brought the food to the table.

Bai Lu had smelled that scent a long time ago. In the past two months, she almost suffered from depression after eating chicken breasts, and her eyes lit up when she saw the delicious food.

The suppressed emotions in Xue Ming's heart also dissipated before the dinner table.

Seeing his sister's bright eyes, he couldn't stop swallowing, and pretended to be educated and sensible. There is always a feeling of dumbfounding.

He put some food for Bai Lu: "Eat, eat more. Be careful not to choke."

He also instructed: "After eating, I will take you to the dermatology clinic, and I will go right away."

Bai Lu's voice was very low, as if she had thought of something: "Brother, I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Xue Ming said casually, "Are you afraid that you won't finish your meal? Afraid of injections? Don't worry, I have a solution."

Bai Lu squinted her eyes, her expression was like a rabbit who has seen a wolf: "I'm afraid you will lie to me."

Xueming was stunned for a while, "Lying to you? What do you mean?"

"Tell me the truth, bro, where did the money come from? Why did you come home suddenly today? When I was sick before, the store manager bullied us that we are from out of town, and you have to give that iron cock Zhou a leave Compensation." Bai Lu's voice became louder and louder, "Is there anything you can't tell me? I'm your own sister, we grew up together, you can't lie to me. Every time you lie reluctantly, your face It's the kind of smile you'll get on your face. I can see it right away."

Xueming was silent for a long time, he only cared about picking up vegetables for his sister.

Bai Lu didn't ask further, she knew that her brother was in trouble.

It wasn't until the brothers and sisters finished eating that the room became quiet.

Bai Lu pulled out a large cardboard box from the corner and dragged it in front of Xueming, "Brother, after you left today, I received a courier, which was for you."

Xue Ming's heart sank, the mailing address on the box was Nine Realms Station.

The cardboard box had been opened, and there were piles of tickets neatly stacked inside, and the smell of ink emitted from it was very pungent.

"Who sent you this money?" Bai Lu frowned and pouted, "Isn't it ordinary people? Now the express logistics can't send banknotes. What did you do outside? Tell me the truth." .”

Xue Ming squatted in front of the cardboard box: "I don't know either."

Bai Lu continued to ask: "Why don't you know? Are you selling your kidney? I ordered it just now, and there are more than four million in it."

Xueming: "I can't get so much money by selling my kidneys."

Bai Lu was puzzled: "Do you really want to sell your kidney?"

Xue Ming: "It's not unacceptable."

Bai Lu: "Then you found a rich woman?"

Xue Ming: "I can't rule out the possibility that a rich woman has a crush on me, but I work at the subway entrance every day. Doesn't a rich woman often take the subway?"

Bai Lu: "Well, have you taken on a part-time job recently, such as working as a mercenary in the Middle East or South Africa?"

Xue Ming: "I've never even touched a real gun. And are there any mercenaries like me who get off work on time every day?"

Bai Lu: "Did you secretly buy a lottery ticket?"

Xue Ming: "I usually buy openly and aboveboard. I never buy secretly. If I win a lottery, I will tell you openly and aboveboard. There is no need to hide it from you."

The sound of the two brothers and sisters scratching their heads rang for a long time in the small room.

What Jiang Xueming saw was a box of tickets.

What Jiang Bailu saw were real banknotes.

He pulled Bai Lu close, and that feeling came back, as if there were eyes staring at him everywhere.

"Anyway, let's go to the doctor first. Get your body cured."

Bai Lu was restless, "Can this money be spent indiscriminately? Will no one come to collect the debt? What if you are arrested."

"I'm not afraid of going to prison." Jiang Xueming stuffed two bundles of tickets into his clothes: "I'm afraid you won't be able to study, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford food, and I'm afraid you won't have money to treat your illness."

Cheung Sha Wan Health Hospital——

——Xue Ming sent his sister to the outpatient clinic. Just sat on the bench in the aisle.

After paying the consultation fee, he waited for his sister's examination results, with more and more doubts in his heart.

Why am I the only one who can recognize these tickets.

Could it be that there is something wrong with my eyes? Cranial nerves have cognitive impairment? Mistaking banknotes for train tickets?

Or is there really a noble person helping me in secret?

These tickets seem to be urging Jiang Xueming to——

—asked him to go somewhere for a ride.

Difficulties in life, the ticket will help him solve.

The night is getting darker, and the blue moonlight casts in from the window. In the quiet corridor, occasionally a few nurses walked around.

He could hear the snoring from the inpatient department, smell the smell of disinfectant, and the ladies in the nurse's station were discussing something.

He could hear it clearly even at a distance of more than twenty meters.

He woke up suddenly, marveling at his hearing. It seemed that something was slowly waking up in his body.

He heard voices from the nurse's station talking about himself.

"Which district is that pretty guy from the dermatology department from?"

"Look at the registration, it's from Hung Hom."

"Is he sick?"

"It's his sister, like lupus."

"Lupus erythematosus is not that symptom. It is probably difficult to cure. Now the sea is so polluted, eating and drinking are not clean, and there are many strange diseases."

At first, they were just talking about Bai Lu's condition

Then it gets weird.

"Why isn't he in the car yet?"

"He must go for a ride"

"Are you eavesdropping, right? You have to remember, you must go for a ride."

Xue Mingwu stood up, covered in cold sweat, and walked quickly to the nurse's station, only to find that there was only one nurse on duty playing with her mobile phone.

He looked pale and his eyes looked like he was going to eat people. Scared the little nurse.

The phone fell on the table, and the nurse asked obediently.

"Sir. How can I help you?"

Xue Ming licked his dry lips, and asked tentatively, "Were you talking to me just now?"

"No. I. I've been looking at my phone all the time." The little nurse picked up the phone and looked at this strange man at a loss, "Do you want my contact information? I think it's too fast. Can you let me Let me think about it and introduce myself?"

Xue Ming turned around immediately, wanting to sit back in his original seat: "Excuse me."

After a few steps, he stopped again.

Because he heard it again, and heard the nurse behind him whispering indistinctly.

"He can hear it, he knows it."

"He's going for a ride, he's got to go for a ride."

Wait for him to look back.

In front of the workbench at the nurse's station, the nurse held up her mobile phone and looked as usual, also vigilant, curious and expectant.

"Is your sister seeing a doctor here? I have read the registration form! Mr. Xueming.

You seem to care about your sister a lot. Can family members help? "

Jiang Xueming replied, "They are all busy."

The nurse had a strange smile on her face: "Is there any good local friends who can help?"

Jiang Xueming: "No."

The nurse continued: "Your number is on the registration form. I wrote it down—

——I know where you live, and I know you want to move. You want to change to a quiet place, right?

——I also know that there is a medicine that is very effective and can cure your sister's strange disease.

— If you need help, you can call this number. "

The voice did not fall.

Xue Ming's cell phone vibrated, and a call came.

But he saw very clearly—

——The little nurse never pressed the dial button, and even the phone screen was black.

Looking down again, it was a confidential number.

When he looked up, the little nurse sat back down again, and said in a dazed voice, "Just call back, remember to get on the bus on time."

The little nurse's expression was very strange, it was hard for Xue Ming to describe it.

Like a puppet on a string, he moved mechanically, with his eyes blank, facing the chair at the nurse's station, and stuffed the nurse's body back into place.

Xue Ming's breathing was short and his heart was beating wildly.

He doubted himself more than once, whether there was something wrong with his brain.

Those threatening words made him feel like a prey that was strangled by the neck.

—You seem to care a lot about your sister.

—You have no friends, do you?

— Can your family help?

—I know where you live, and I know where you want to hide.

——I have a special drug here, if you need help.

— Get on the bus on time.

He was sure that he was by no means crazy.

These threatening words all have a clear direction, and they all point to the Nine Realms Station.

What's more, from the information revealed, what made Xue Ming even more disturbed was that his sister's condition might not be that simple.

Half an hour later, Bai Lu came out of the consultation room with a medical certificate.

Unfortunately, the pathological description on the medical certificate is still only "skin allergy".

Both brothers and sisters know that allergies are simple and complex.

The question is where are the allergens?

A few days later, Xue Ming took Bai Lu to all the nearby hospitals, but found nothing.

He rented a big clean and airy house near the Anshan Health Center with his bus ticket. I sent my younger sister to the inpatient department to recuperate, but her condition did not improve.

There are more and more erythema on Bai Lu's body, and her body is getting weaker and weaker. Her spirit is getting worse every day, and her sleep time is getting longer and longer.

A week later, the Fourth of July.

There are only three days left until the boarding date.

In the morning, Xueming took care of Bailu in the ward as usual.

The doctor is in the next room, preparing medicines for allergen skin tests and desensitization shots.

Bai Lu just woke up, she gasped for breath, as if she had been short of oxygen during sleep.

The right side of her face was squeezed by a deformed erythematous mass that squeezed the nasal cavity.

After waking up, she started crying and was panting very badly.

She asked, "Brother, am I going to die?"

Xueming: "No."

Bai Lu asked again: "Can I get better? Will it be like this for the rest of my life?"

Xueming: "No."

"I've been having nightmares, bro. I saw a lot of people. A lot of people were yelling at me. They were so fierce. They wanted me to get in the car. I'm not afraid of them. I'm not afraid. Brother, don't worry. I'm not afraid." Bai Lu held Xue Xue tightly Ming's hand: "Brother, I want to go back to school."

Jiang Xueming was silent.

He looked down at his sister's hand.

The erythematous papules on the back of the hand were raised, and the distorted skin showed weird patterns.

The pattern resembles two characters very much.

boarding.
