Chapter 49 Gold Chain
I stared into Lao Chen's eyes and kept repeating that sentence:
Are you the only one missing?
Are you the only one missing?
Are you the only one missing?
What does this sentence mean?!
I hit my head hard several times, forcing myself to clear my head...
Soon I realized that this dream was caused by Lao Chen.
In the dream, Mr. He said those words to Lao Chen.
The "you" in Mr. He's words does not refer to "I", but to "Old Chen". The meaning of Mr. He's words should be: Old Chen, you are the only one missing...
That’s right!
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!
Thinking of this, I immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and I was no longer as nervous as I felt when I first heard that sentence.
Now I am not nervous anymore, but Lao Chen is still very nervous!!!
Lao Chen stared at me extremely nervously and said, "That's right, that's right. Now I remember clearly that this was the last thing Mr. He said to me. After saying this, he
He left and disappeared, and I seemed to have woken up from a dream..."
I know why Lao Chen looks so nervous?
Because I can also think of what Lao Chen is thinking...
Mr. He is dead now. He committed suicide by jumping off the building. He actually told Lao Chen in his dream that he was the only one left...
Could it be said that Lao Chen is the next person to commit suicide?!
Lao Chen's lips were so frightened that they turned a little white, and he clenched his hands tightly. I could see that his nails had turned the skin on his hands white.
Seeing him so scared, I knew that Lao Chen was very timid, so I could only persuade him in a more relaxed tone: "Lao Chen, don't be so nervous, it's just a dream, don't take it seriously, you...
…Don’t think so wildly?!”
"Dream?! No, no, no... that's not a dream..." Lao Chen raised his finger and pointed at my phone, "Didn't you also take a video? So, I not only dreamed last night, but also sleepwalked...
Sleepwalking and dreaming are completely different. This, this, this... must be related to this matter... Oops, Oops, I... will I..."
"Old Chen, calm down first..." I continued to persuade him.
"How do you want me to calm down? Jasmine died from diving, Mr. He died from jumping off a building, they... they are all dead. Mr. He said such words to me, could I be the next one to die?!
!”
At this point, Lao Chen's eyes widened, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He stretched out his hands toward me and grabbed my arms. I felt his hands were cold!
"Old Chen..."
"Xiao Ma, I... I don't want to die... I... I still have a daughter to raise... If I die... won't my daughter have no father..."
This is the first time I heard Lao Chen say that he has a daughter!
I only knew that he was married before, but Lao Chen rarely lived home.
I can probably guess that the relationship between him and his wife is not very good, but he said that he has a daughter, I really don't know?
"I don't want to die, and I can't die. Xiaoma, please help me...you must help me..."
Lao Chen's hands were still holding on to my arms. I don't know how long it had been since he had cut his nails. The nails on his hands seemed to have pierced into my flesh. It hurt like hell. If he grabbed me like this again.
If you hold on, you might be able to scratch your arm and bleed...
So, I started struggling...
"Old Chen...Old Chen...calm down..."
Lao Chen seemed to regard me as a life-saving straw again, and his grip was very firm. The more I struggled to get further away from him, the tighter his grip became!
I was also anxious, and in the end I stood up from the chair and used all my strength to push Lao Chen away.
Therefore, our range of movements suddenly became larger!
If someone saw us like this, they would definitely think that the two of us were fighting!
My strength was getting stronger, but Lao Chen's grip was getting tighter and tighter. I was better, I was wearing a sweatshirt, but Lao Chen was wearing a shirt, and the buttons on the collar of his shirt were all undone...
result……
I raised my eyes and glanced at him casually...
Unexpectedly, at a glance, I saw some metallic luster suddenly showing on his neck!
I was really surprised!
Because, it is clearly a gold necklace!!!
Immediately, I stopped and stared at Lao Chen's neck...
When Lao Chen saw that I had stopped moving, he calmed down a little, slowly lowered his hands, and finally let go of me.
"Old Chen," I took a step back, pointed at Old Chen's neck and asked, "You... do you usually wear a necklace?!"
"...Ah?!" Lao Chen shook his head with sweat on his face, "What necklace? What do you mean?!"
"I'm just asking you, do you wear a gold necklace?!" I asked again.
"No...no?!" Lao Chen replied.
I raised my hand, pointed at Lao Chen’s shirt collar and asked loudly: “Then what are you wearing around your neck now?!”
Only then did Lao Chen realize that I was talking about his neck. He reached out and touched his neck, and immediately frowned, as if he had no idea that he was still wearing a gold chain?!
"What... is this?!"
As Lao Chen spoke, he casually pulled the gold necklace hidden under his shirt from around his neck, held it in his hand, and slowly brought it to his eyes.
I kept staring at Lao Chen's hand and saw his palm slowly opening...
immediately……
Lao Chen and I’s faces froze!
That's right, that's a necklace made of gold wire!
The bright yellow metal wires are woven together with strange patterns and look very delicate. They are almost exactly the same as the gold chain on Mr. He's amulet!!!
but……
The difference is...
The gold chain in Lao Chen's hand does not have the oval pendant?!
"Old Chen, what's going on?!" I asked him directly.
"How do I know?!" Lao Chen continued to shake his head, and the cold sweat on his hair fell on me. It didn't look like he was lying at all.
"Aren't you telling the truth now?!" I asked, pointing to the gold chain.
"Who put this thing around my neck?!" Lao Chen continued to shake his head, "I...I really don't know?!"
"You really don't know?!" I seemed to believe Lao Chen a little.
Lao Chen nodded heavily and said, "Yes, yes, I really don't know!!!"
Faced with my questioning, Lao Chen firmly denied that he had ever worn this gold chain and said that he had never seen it before. And I recalled that when I went to the bathing center to take a bath last night, I did not see Lao Chen.
Is there this gold necklace around Chen’s neck?
Could it be that...
hiss……
