Ah Qiang looked at me in surprise. After a while, he said,"What's wrong with you? Are you scared silly?"
"Why is Kou Liu so afraid of you?”I stared at Ah Qiang and didn't back down.
"How would I know? He's a lunatic. What do you mean?”Ah Qiang asked angrily.
I looked at Ah Qiang's face and said,""That's what I mean. Who are you?”My tone had also changed from a question to a question.
Ah Qiang suddenly stood up and looked at me."I'll just take it that you're scared out of your wits, so I won't argue with you. Think about it, if Kou Liu was afraid of me, why would I be so afraid of Xiao Jun?”
This sentence immediately woke me up. Ah Qiang's words were right. I realized that I had lost my composure and suddenly felt very stupid, so I said apologetically,"Qiang Zi, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened to me.”I was worried that I would accidentally offend my only friend in the past ten years.
"Forget it, are you really alright?" Ah Qiang sighed and sat back on the bed."I don't know what you thought just now, but I didn't make Kou Liu become like that.”
"Qiang, don't be angry. I understand.”At this moment, I didn't know what to say either. I could only express my apologies. In the past ten years, I hadn't interacted with any normal people, so I didn't know what to do in this situation.
Ah Qiang didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. I didn't disturb him. For a moment, the two of us fell into silence. After a while, Ah Qiang said to me,"Maizi, you seem to be especially afraid of Kou Liu. Why? You've been here for ten years. There shouldn't be anyone worth being afraid of.”
The silence was broken, but the topic that broke the silence was what I wanted to avoid the most. However, since Ah Qiang had brought it up, I couldn't hide anything, so I said,"You still don't know what kind of person Kou Liu is. Actually, it's nothing much. Maybe it's because I was young at that time. After hearing Kou Liu's story, I was traumatized.”
"What happened?" Ah Qiang asked.
So I told Qiang everything I heard about how Kou Liu killed his wife, dismembered her body, steamed her, separated her flesh and bones, and made her meat into buns, and made her bones into raw bone soup for the neighbors to eat. I also told Qiang how he was discovered and captured.
"So disgusting."
"Yeah, I heard that he didn't eat any of the meat and soup. He gave them all to his neighbors.”I said.
"I'm really curious. What would it be like if those neighbors knew that they had eaten buns made from human flesh?”Ah Qiang kept rubbing his arms with both hands, pretending to be disgusted.
At this moment, I unintentionally looked out of the window. Who knew that I would actually see an eye? Or should I say, an eyeball. It was round and bulging, and the surrounding white tissue was covered with thin red silk veins. I could vaguely see dark red blood flowing through the veins.
My heart suddenly stopped beating, and my scalp immediately split open. The red pupils of those eyes widened and constricted, as if they were sizing up Ah Qiang and me. I don't know if it was because of the cardiac arrest, but my breathing became difficult.
"Maizi, Maizi." Ah Qiang saw the difficult look and hurriedly came over to slap my face. I immediately woke up from that moment of trance and said with a trembling voice," An eye! There's an eye outside the window!" I pointed out the window, but there was nothing but the gray sky.
"What eyes?" Ah Qiang asked doubtfully,"Are you too frightened? Why don't you let the doctor give you an injection of tranquilizer?"”
"No, no need." I replied with rapid breathing,"Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. I'm fine."”Although I said that, I knew in my heart that I had indeed seen an eye just now. A blood-red eye, no, an eyeball, a lonely eyeball! Because the cold sweat on my body is the best proof!
Just as I was still in shock, the door was slowly pushed open without any warning.
