He approached me cautiously, his whole body on guard, and he acted as if he could run away at any moment, which made me laugh. I waved to him and said it's okay, come here, I'm not a ghost.
He relaxed a little now, but still looked at me with a very strange look.
Feeling that he was a little nervous, I got close to him and asked him, brother, are you here to sweep the tomb? He nodded, then pointed to the tombstone behind me and asked me: "Are you Gu Yan's brother?"
I was stunned for a moment and told him no, and he asked me again, so are you Gu Yan's brother? I said no, what's wrong, brother, you mean you know Gu Yan? Are you here to visit his grave?
He didn't answer my question, but asked me tremblingly who I was. I smiled helplessly and told him, don't be afraid if I tell the truth, I am Gu Yan.
"I'm going to fuck you! Ghost!"
After hearing what I said, he wanted to turn around and run again, but I was quick and grabbed him and told him not to be afraid. Didn't I tell you that I'm not a ghost? Why do you always run away?
He struggled desperately, but my hands were quite strong, and he couldn't get away even if I pulled on his clothes.
As soon as he saw that he couldn't run away, he jumped around and scolded me: "Go to hell with you, Gu Yan. You came out to scare people in broad daylight. Get out of here! You have no conscience. You can't scare anyone by scaring me."
In the past few years, I have burned paper for you a lot, and I have also visited your grave during the Qingming Festival and Ghost Festival. You treat me like this? Go to hell if you bully an honest person!"
He scolded me for being stunned for a while, damn, from what he said, it seems like he should be my good brother, so I can't let him go.
But he was struggling and refused to listen when I asked him to calm down. Later, I lost my patience and thought of something simple and rude, so I went up to him and gave him a big mouth: "Shut up?"
Mouth, otherwise I will kill you now."
Don't tell me, this big mouth is very effective, it just slapped him. After a few seconds, he reacted, and said to me Gu Yan while trembling, I didn't treat you badly when you were alive, right? You can
You can't harm me.
Seeing him like this, I suddenly felt that being a ghost was pretty cool, at least it was fun when it was scary.
I asked you whether you were finished or not. I told you that I am not a ghost. He said you farted. It was not like I was not here the day you were born. Moreover, I saw you pushed in and cremated with my own eyes. Now you tell me that you are not dead?
As he was talking, he seemed to be a little scared again, and he said to me aggrievedly, Brother Yan, we are no longer in the same world, can you let me go? You came out in broad daylight, did you not have enough money or something?
Son, can I burn some more for you later?
I scolded you, you are a fool, you slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education? Do you really believe that there are ghosts in this world? He asked, then what happened when I saw you push it in with my own eyes?
Actually, I didn’t know what to say, so I just made up a lie and told him that it was actually not me who pushed him in that day. The things here are quite complicated and I can’t explain them to you, but you just need to know that I’m not dead.
.
He seemed to believe what I said, but he still asked me with a puzzled look on his face, "What have you been doing in the past few years since you disappeared?"
I pretended to sigh: "Hey, I have my own reasons too. I can't say more. If you are my good brother, and you believe me, don't ask."
He nodded and said yes, I won't ask, I will just say that you are really my good brother, by the way, good brother, what is your name?
His eyes widened in an instant: "What the hell? I'm going to fuck you, Gu Yan. You are a good brother every time, but you don't even know your good brother's name?"
He scolded me for a long time, and then I really had no choice but to tell him the truth and ask him not to be angry. In fact, I have lost my memory in the past three years.
After hearing what I said, he raised his eyebrows and asked me if I was kidding and had lost my memory. Do I think I was the leading actor in a Korean drama? I said I didn't lie to you. I really lost my memory. I just went back home to ask for help.
No, I don’t even know where my tombstone is, but I can’t even remember who my mother is.
Then he asked me how I knew where my home was since I had lost my memory. I said I knew it by looking at my ID card. He then asked me if your mother didn't recognize you when you came home?
But just as he said this, he added another sentence, "I forgot that my aunt's eyesight is not working well. Even if we are face to face now, she won't be able to recognize who you are."
What he said made me feel quite sad, and my eye circles were a little red, but I was also sure that he really knew me.
Seeing me like this, he said okay, okay, I won't ask you anything else, then you have to tell me what you have been doing in the past few years and where you are staying, right?
I told him that I have been working in a company for as long as I can remember, and I also rented a house outside. But when I saw my ID card two days ago, I suddenly remembered that I had not been home in the past few years, and then I realized
I can't remember anything. As for what happened three years ago and how I became like this, even I don't know.
After hearing what I said, he thought about it for a long time, and then asked me a little embarrassedly: "Brother Yan, are you really not a ghost? Why do I feel something is wrong? Don't get me wrong, I really don't mean anything else, I just heard it.
Some legends say that some people don’t know it after they die, and they turn into ghosts and still wander around the world. I actually saw you being pushed for cremation with my own eyes back then, and I wondered if the same could be the case for you?"
I’m really at my wits end, so I’ll follow Yingying’s example and tell him, ghosts don’t have a heartbeat, right? Then touch my chest and see if I have a heartbeat?
He reached out his hand hesitantly, pressed it on my heart for a while, and then put his hand down with a puzzled look on his face: "There is indeed a heartbeat, so you are really not dead? Then who was the person who pushed me in?"
"
I shook my head and told him that I didn’t know either, but it wasn’t important. What was important was that I had lost my memory now. Then I asked him if he could tell me what happened before my accident.
He said yes, then lit a cigarette, looked at me, and then at the tombstone behind me. He probably still felt a little awkward, curled his lips, and started to tell me the original story.
He said his name is Wu Hao, and he played with me from junior high school to college. Even in college, we both went to the same university in the provincial capital, but he chose to stay in the provincial capital after graduation, while I went directly home to find a job.
.
Then he told me a lot of things about his childhood. We played together, and when I was in school, I always didn't do well in school. I was naughty and thought about falling in love and fighting all day long, especially in high school.
Shen Mengying was regarded as a role model by the school and was approved several times by the school. It was because of my family's connections that she was not expelled.
He also said that I had a pretty good mind and that I performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination and got a bachelor's degree, but Yingying only got into a local medical school.
But I had no impression of what he said, and there was no reaction at all. The only thing that caught my attention was that he said something about the night of my accident.
Wu Hao said that when we had an accident that night, Yingying's body was not actually found at the scene.
