Do people really have some free time before they die?

It turns out that before you die, you really do have a period of free time to reflect on the memorable events of your life.

This was liao Kang's deepest thought as he lay on the ground.

His mind, always forgetful, seemed suddenly ready to take its last turn, helping him relive everything from kindergarten to the day before, as clearly as in a packed movie.

He saw his own primary school, because lost the bicycle, and get a father beat. It hurt, and he remembered the burning pain.

When I was in middle school, I had a crush on someone for the first time. I wrote a long love letter to her, but the response I received was just crumpled paper balls in the trash can.

The day before the college entrance examination, I suddenly had diarrhea. I went to the examination room with both physical and psychological pressure, and finally failed to get the university I wanted.

When I was in college, I ran for president of the student union, but I lost by one vote.

After graduation, HE found several jobs, but was eliminated after the probation period. Rarely, he had a boss who liked him, but he chose to resign because he could not stand the exclusion of colleagues.

Life's disappointments put together, it is really a tragic epic. Liao Kang patiently watched until he reached the last picture.

It was yesterday at this time, because he had accidentally drunk water that contained so much poison, he suddenly lost all his strength and could only lie on the floor, quietly waiting to die.

(a)

Someone opened the door and stood beside Liao Kang, looking down at him.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Liao Kang was startled, but could not move. He could only lie down and ask loudly.

"Delivery man," the man said, holding up a dozen of beer and waving it in front of his eyes. "Your door was unlocked. I walked in."

"But I didn't order takeout." Liao Kang sighed listlessly.

"That is someone else to help you order, anyway already so, help you up to drink two?"

The man did not wait for liao Kang to answer his question. Instead, he put the beer on the table, bent down and pulled Liao Kang off the floor and sat down on the sofa.

"I thought dying in my own house was bad enough, but now I'm being dragged around like a corpse."

Liao Kang leaned his head on the back of the sofa and laughed at himself feebly.

"It's the same down there. Nobody cares what you look like when you die," the man said, sitting down next to him. "I guess I'm the last living person who can talk to you.

"You're not even going to take me to the hospital?" Liao Kang actually felt better and even moved his neck slightly to look in the man's direction.

"You this disease hospital tube not, still want to point other way son." Ignoring him, the man reached out and began unpacking the beer.

"You're with them, aren't you?"

Liao Kang's eyes suddenly widened, but then he sank down again:

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, unless I can go back to yesterday, otherwise no one can save me."

"All right," the man said, looking suddenly happy. He opened a can of beer and handed it to him. "Dry it and hit the road."

Liao Kang wanted to tell him that his hand could not handle the drink, but before he opened his mouth, his right hand actually reached out and took the beer and poured it into his mouth.

"This is the light of the day."

With this thought, his eyelids sank completely, and his consciousness went blank for a moment, only to see the man brought a beer bag, written in small words:

Life over.

(2)

The question whether people should go to heaven or hell after death had troubled Liao Kang for many years.

But after facing death, he finally knew that he would not go to heaven or earth after death, but would return to his own home.

Everything around him was the same as when he was alive. He even got up and looked in the mirror. He looked the same as when he was alive.

But can a ghost be reflected in a mirror?

He was suddenly confused and looked at his whole body carefully. He saw that the cut he had made on his thumb when he cut vegetables two days before was still there. There was even a faint pain when he poked it.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, liao Kang remembered his last conscious time, while saying that he wanted to go back to the accident before, while drinking the strange man's wine.

He almost teleported to the bedroom and saw an electronic calendar on his desk showing the day before he had "died."

Time on the calendar can be manipulated, of course, but it can be easily tested by seeing if something in your memory repeats itself in the present moment.

Liao Kang watched the clock and silently counted down the seconds.

The moment the number in my mind was zero, there was a knock at the door.

(3)

Liao Kang opened the door and saw a man whose face was hidden by a cake box.

"Give way give way," Ye Haoming read and rushed in, put the huge box on the table, turned a long sigh of relief, "this way carefully, afraid of falling halfway, can be tired of me."

"You just went down one floor." Liao Kang answered him coldly and sat down on the sofa without looking at the contents of the box.

"What's the matter with you, you look so pale and unwell?" Ye Haoming followed, by the way from the shelf took a bottle of water to him:

"How many times have I told you to drink more water so your immunity can go up?"

Liao Kang did not speak and looked at him intently.

"Why, do you want me to unscrew you?" Ye Haoming said, lift the hand to twist the bottle cap.

"Stop!"

Liao Kang a loud drink, scared Ye Haoming directly threw out the water bottle, on the ground hit a dull sound.

"Ok, that I went up first," Ye Hao Ming squatted down to pick up the water bottle, carefully put it on the table in front of Liao Kang, "today is your sister-in-law's birthday, bought a double layer cake, we can't finish eating again, pulled a layer for you, for a while nothing remember to eat."

Seeing that Liao Kang still did not respond, he went out quietly and closed the door from the outside.

Liao Kang until ye Haoming heard the sound of his door upstairs, just reached out and picked up the water bottle in front of him, carefully looked at a circle, found no traces of opening.

He wrenched the cap off the bottle, looked around the room, and poured the water into the fish tank in the corner.

The two guppies were surprised by the sudden wave and swam hard for a few laps before returning to their normal speed as the water calmed down.

Liao Kang looked at them for a while and was relieved to find that neither fish was abnormal.

It seems that his feeling has been right, just stopped ye Haoming direct contact with the bottle of water, also stopped the water passive hands and feet.

To know, in the last experience of this scene, Ye Haoming is directly unscrewed the water bottle handed to him, and he drank, instant poisoning collapsed.

(4)

Liao Kang sometimes wondered why people's good intentions and bad intentions could appear without warning.

Ye Haoming is living in his upstairs neighbor, after he moved to live, has been more care for him, almost is what good things, want to give him a.

An ordinary person might think this is a good neighbor, but Liao Kang only felt frightened.

For the past 20 years, his life has been a kind of endless cycle. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by someone who is so nice to him that it is easy to say that he is a family.

At first he really thought of them as his best friends, but then he realized that they were just using him, finding his biggest weakness and breaking him when he was completely off guard.

So the boy who stole his precious bicycle was his best friend; Let the crush hate him, is the best brother; His best friend is the one who mixes laxatives into his meal so that he can only go to the college entrance examination with illness. The person who spread rumors at work and made people around him dislike him was also the person with whom he had the best relationship in those years...

He knew all these things in his mind, but without any real proof, he was like a garbage man, and in every case he broke with the people concerned.

But no matter how to get rid of these puzzling people, as long as to a new environment, it is inevitable to encounter a or even a few of their very good people, let him experience the world to warm, and then gradually fall from happiness.

He also tried to become a cold person, to everyone, but still could not block the enthusiasm of the other party. It puzzled him.

If someone treats himself with such an attitude, he will be far away from this person, even think he is sick. But the people who made good friends with him never seemed to care. On the contrary, the worse his attitude, the more they cared about him.

In the end, Liao Kang could only come to a conclusion that sounded rather far-fetched:

These strange people all belong to the same organization, the purpose is to kill him, let him gradually lose everything, until life also disappeared.

When you have time, why don't you just stab him to death?

He couldn't make head or tail of it.

(5)

Liao Kang took a moment to relax in the room, and two hours passed before he came to his senses.

He seemed to be having these moments more frequently these days, and he would slip away for a long time, which he put down to his nervousness and the constant fear that the one upstairs would come to harm him at any moment.

Then the man, very much unable to stop himself, knocked on the door again.

Although liao kang did not want to open the door, his previous experience also made him understand that as long as he did not respond, the other party would come to him quite frequently. If he could not find him, he would even call the police.

In order to save these troubles, he went directly to open the door, see ye Haoming carrying a kitchen knife.

"The day has finally come." Liao Kang felt a little inclined to laugh.

"What has come at last? Ye Haoming almost shivered, put the kitchen knife in his hand and the plastic bag in his other hand into Liao Kang's hand:

"I don't know who bought us live fish, but the delivery man just delivered it to my door and I can't return it. But your sister-in-law and I are afraid to kill fish. Would you please help me?"

Liao Kang opened the bag and took a look. Inside, two large carp were stifling their tails. It reminded him of the two men in his tank, so he took a step back, tilted his head to look at the tank, and saw the two guppies still happily wandering around.

"Go in and sit down."

He said to Ye Haoming, he got into the kitchen, the knife and fish have repeatedly looked at several times, really do not know ye Haoming this move is to do.

Logically this day at this time, he has been ye Haoming poison began to wait for death, and just that bottle of water did not poison success, he will certainly find another way to kill him.

But what was he supposed to do with two fish, have their tails whip him to death?

This idea makes him feel some funny, but this a distraction time, Ye Haoming suddenly into the kitchen, put a ball of things into his mouth.

(6)

The soft cream melted in his mouth and Liao Kang didn't even have a chance to spit it out.

He was at the bottom of his heart, resenting himself for having been so careless, for not having learned to let him in again.

But it was no use thinking about it now, so he put the knife down and waited for that familiar feeling of vertigo to set in.

"What's the matter?

Ye Haoming leaning on the door frame, a face meng asked him.

Liao Kang looked back at him and saw that he was holding a piece of cake and stuffing it into his mouth.

More importantly, since he had only one fork at home, the one he was holding must be the same one he had put into his mouth.

"Why are you eating, too? Liao Kang felt himself stuttering.

"I brought it for you, and I can't eat it myself?" Ye Haoming a face of course, it does not look a little guilty.

"Isn't there, er, something in there?"

"What's there, cream?"

Ye Haoming tilted his head and looked at the cake, not understanding at all, but also went up and touched Liao Kang's forehead:

"Have you got a fever again? How can you talk nonsense?"

Liao Kang took a step back. Suddenly his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
