Who are you?

Chapter 14

Suddenly there was no sound, but I could feel the man standing by my bed, looking at me.

who is it?

I suddenly felt a sense of danger, and a voice in my heart told me that if I didn't wake up quickly, I would be in danger!

As I was trying to wake myself up, the person next to the bed moved.I felt the bed beside me collapse, and the smell of smoke filled my nostrils, making me sick.

A hand stroked my face, feeling that the palm was a bit big, covering half of my face, and the fingers passed through the hair to hold the back of my head.

wake up!Wake up quickly!

I tried my best to open my eyes, but only opened a gap.In a haze, I saw the face of a man, an old man, he looked a little fat, his eyes were cloudy, and his mouth smelled like cigarettes.

At that moment, I was startled awake, my eyes widened suddenly, and I hid aside.But because his body was weak, it was actually just the distance of turning over on the bed.

When the old man saw that I woke up, instead of showing panic, he became even more excited.

"Are you awake? I'm still thinking about how to wake you up? It's meaningless to do it when you're asleep, just like a 'rapist'. Although you look good, I don't mind being gentle once in a while."

"what?"

I feel like I'm still not clear enough, why can't I understand what he's saying at all?

"Who are you? I want to go home!"

"Go home? You are mine now, where do you want to go back? I paid a lot of money to buy you."

"What are you talking about?" What to buy?Who sold me?What am I...

Suddenly realizing what might have happened, I broke out in a cold sweat.My mind woke up instantly, and I remembered what happened before I lost consciousness.

At that time, I was sitting on a bench outside the station, wondering where should I go at the next stop?I don't have much money on me, so I have to think about my next plan.

Later, a woman sat next to me with a child. I didn't care, but moved to the side to make room.

The little girl was young, a little mischievous, kept moving around, and kicked me several times.Her mother kept apologizing to me, and taught the little girl a lesson.I'm not easy to get angry, I can only smile.

The little girl clamored for a banana, so the woman took two bananas out of her bag, gave one to the little girl, and stuffed the other to me.I couldn't shirk it and accepted it.The little girl had to go to the toilet after eating the bananas, and the woman asked me to look after the luggage and took the little girl there.

I helped them look at the luggage and took the banana. I suddenly felt a little hungry, so I peeled the banana and ate it.

Afterwards things became blurred.Now that I think about it, there is definitely something wrong with that banana, and the mother and daughter are probably not real mother and daughter.

Looking at the situation in front of him again, if he contacted those two people and this man before, he must have encountered a human trafficker.And it's a human trafficker who does some beastly deeds.

When did I ever encounter something like this growing up?I panicked at this moment, knowing only that if I didn't run away I would be doomed.

36,

The picture behind has become very blurred, and one can only vaguely see that the surroundings are suddenly filled with red—the color like blood.Then someone seemed to appear, and the ensuing scene became chaotic.Everything after that is in the white ward.

"Zuo An? You're about to play, why are you still in the mood to sleep here? Have you changed your clothes? Is there any makeup left? Let me see..."

The head teacher's loud voice suddenly rang in my ears, I woke up suddenly, my eyes were dazed, I couldn't remember where I was in a daze?It wasn't until I heard what the class teacher said that I realized that I came backstage to pack my clothes and prepare to go on stage.

But the backstage was too busy, and the girl in charge of makeup was busy doing makeup for other students who were about to go on stage. I watched and fell asleep in a daze.Being enslaved for the past few days is too miserable, and coupled with my own bad mood, it can be said that I am physically and mentally exhausted.

"Why haven't you put on makeup yet? Hurry up! I'm going to be on stage soon!" Seeing that I didn't put on any makeup on my face, just changed my clothes, the class teacher immediately exploded and began to make arrangements in a hurry.

Actually, let me tell you, what kind of makeup does a big boy wear?Besides, the stage is so far away, there are a few people below who can see clearly whether I am wearing makeup or not.

However, seeing the seriousness on the head teacher's face, I swallowed these words silently.I don't want to step on a landmine at a time like this.

When I was finally tidied up, the voice of the host announcing the curtain sounded from the front.

"Next, I would like to invite Zuo An, a student from Class 11 of Senior Three, to give us a piano solo. The piano piece he will play is an original piece - "Shimmer", please!"

"It's your turn, go up!" The head teacher urged immediately.

I stood up and ran over in a hurry.

When standing on the stage, my heart beats very fast.It felt like all my secrets were out in the sun and there was nothing to hide.Countless pairs of eyes of all people were staring at me, and I was trembling nervously.

Suddenly, I seem to remember someone once said to me: "Zuo An, are you afraid of the stage?"

"I don't know, I haven't stood in front of so many people, so I don't know. But it should be very nervous, maybe it's fear. What about you? Are you afraid?"

"I was scared at the beginning. I was very nervous seeing so many people."

"What then?"

"I was not afraid after that. Because I suddenly realized that when everyone's eyes are on me, I am their sun, so I must do my best to shine and illuminate everyone. At that moment, I must be Proud, because only in this way can I infect everyone, at least at that moment, I must be so confident. So, I should not be afraid of it, but to conquer it."

Conquer it...

I tried to take a deep breath, suppressing the fear and panic in my heart.He raised the most perfect smile to everyone and bowed deeply.When he stood up, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

He was sitting at the end of the crowd, and I didn't understand why I could spot him first in the dim light from such a long distance.He sat quietly at the end, staring straight at me with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

I was startled suddenly, opened my mouth and shouted silently: "Brother..."

Then I saw his smile widen again.Suddenly his lips moved up and down a few times, also silently.In such a dim environment, I can understand.

He said, "I'll wait for you."

My body shook violently.

Before I had time to think about what he meant, I turned around and walked to the piano and sat down.Close your eyes slightly and take a deep breath.When I opened my eyes again, there were no other complicated thoughts inside.

I have only one purpose, to do my best to complete this song.

37,

"What do you think about every time you play the piano?"

"I thought about it a lot, but I didn't think about anything."

"what?"

"Ah."

……

Gu Nan plays the piano very well, but I can't. I don't have a sense of music, always play the wrong rhythm, and often forget the tunes.But the only thing I have never been serious about is this song "Shimmer".

I suddenly thought funny, did I have a premonition then that there would be a day when I would play it in front of everyone?

A long time ago, I didn't understand the meaning of Gu Nan's words, but at this moment, I suddenly understood, as if I understood what Gu Nan said at that time.

I thought about it a lot, but it seemed like I didn't think about anything.

I think this is the first and last time I play a piece with such devotion.

I think of every alley I ran with Gu Nan when I was in junior high school, just to help me find a sold-out comic; I think of summer, under the shade of trees by the small river, the river is cold, and there are fish Er occasionally swam by; I remembered the first time I played basketball with Gu Nan, I knocked him to the ground with brute force, he smiled and hid the bruises where I couldn't see; I remembered the first time I found When I liked Gu Nan, I didn't dare to look at him directly for more than a month. I remembered the unhesitating mood I had when I mustered up the courage to kiss him; I remembered the contempt and disappointment in everyone's eyes. It was imposed on Gu Nan alone, but he remained silent; I remembered that he had left, and I desperately wanted to find his determination; I remembered...

The piano sound suddenly became chaotic and became sharper. My forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and my head ached.It seemed that something was about to break out of the ground, and an unprecedented fear swept through every nerve of my body.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, what happened to him?"

"It looks like your complexion is not very good, can something happen?"

……

I heard the people below start talking, and I felt like my head was about to explode, and I was still playing the tune mechanically.Even though the mind is completely out of control, the body instinctively continues the unfinished rhythm.

I wanted to see if the person in the auditorium was still there, but just turning my head made me feel like I had exhausted all my strength.

I saw him standing up suddenly, staring at the stage nervously, his face full of anxiety.Are you worried about me?

I don't know why, but this conjecture made me suddenly want to laugh.But I didn't laugh after all, because I didn't know anything in the next second.The last thing that echoed in my ears was a piercing piano sound and ear-piercing screams.

In the endless darkness, I saw a boy running forward non-stop, his clothes were stained red with blood, and he was holding a gun in his hand.
