Wei Hui is a doctor in a big hospital with an introverted personality. I don't seem to have any hobbies except antiques. He still lives a single life and has no friends except Zhang. Zhang is his classmate in college and works in another hospital.
One Sunday afternoon, Wei Hui went to the old street as usual, but after a long stroll, he saw nothing. When he walked into the last antique shop at the end of the street, he said to himself, "If you can't see anything in this shop, hurry home."
The light in this antique shop is not very good, and it is very dark. Wei Hui walked around the shop, feeling dull. He was about to leave when he suddenly felt as if someone was calling him behind him. He looked back, but there was no sign. It's really strange! At that moment, he suddenly found an ancient painting hanging on the wall behind him, in which a girl with shoulder-length hair seemed to be looking at him. Wei Hui approached, through the dim light in the shop, and then took a closer look, and found that the girl in the painting couldn't see what era she was, wearing a long pink dress, as if she had just taken a bath. Somehow, Wei Jie fell in love with the painting at once and asked the boss about the price. The boss's price is as cheap as those poorly printed small paintings pushed by the roadside. Wei Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed: Even if it wasn't a famous painting, it wouldn't cost that much! So he bought it without hesitation.
Back home, Wei Hui hung the picture on the wall opposite the bedside and enjoyed it again and again. He found that no matter which angle he stood at, the girl in the picture always looked at him in the town. The sweetness in the expression and the warmth in the eyes made Wei Hui look a little energetic.
Watching, watching, Wei Hui suddenly made a new discovery. It turns out that this painting is not only a girl, but also a faint background. This is a group of people from different times. Judging from their costumes, the oldest people are from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, as well as people from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are even long-sleeved horse hooks and gold-rimmed glasses. Isn't this the costume of the Republic of China? Another man is wearing a Chinese tunic suit with a pen in his coat pocket. Wei Jie knows that this dress was worn by some fashionable people from the Republic of China to the early liberation. Wow! There is a man in a grass-green military uniform and a military cap in the painting, but there is no epaulettes on his military uniform and no hat on his military cap. Wei Hui knew at a glance that this kind of person should be from the sixties and seventies.
So, this painting should have been painted in the sixties and seventies at the earliest? Wei Jie is very confused: Which painter has such an excellent pen? Why did he draw such a strange picture? He also found that this method of weaving canvas had never been seen in ancient paintings before. It's only been painted for decades, but at first glance it looks like an antique for thousands of years. It seems that the producer of this painting must be a master of counterfeiting! But why is it so cheap? Wei Hui couldn't help staring at the painting for a long time. She couldn't help counting the men behind the girl and counting them. Determine it as 2 1. Suddenly, he froze, and the girl he painted was originally a sweet smile. It becomes strange and mysterious at this time. She was surprised, rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, only to find that it was her own eyes, which relieved her.
That night, Wei Hui had a dream. The girl in the picture is so gentle in her dream. He threw himself at the girl's long skirt. For the next few days, Wei Hui made love to the girl in her dream every day.
Wei Hui couldn't help calling her only friend, Zhang, and wanted to tell him these things about herself, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that she couldn't say them. Every day at work, Wei Hui is in the hospital, thinking about the girl in the picture and the dream of getting drunk. He just wants to get off work quickly so that he can go home and lie in bed and continue to dream that beautiful dream.
Wei Hui's adventure is unknown in the hospital. On this day, his colleagues called him when they saw that he had not come to work for three days. As a result, the phone was turned off and no one answered the phone at home. I went to his house to see it, but no one answered the door when I called. In desperation, the hospital called the police and informed Wei Hui's parents.
The police came to Wei Hui's house and forced the door open. After investigation, it was found that the door was locked from the inside. Wei Hui's wallet, keys and mobile phone are all in the room. The quilt on the bed was scattered all over the floor, as if I had just slept. The security nets on doors, windows and balconies are intact, and there are no signs of being pried. Wei Hui. Where are you going? This thing is so strange!
The police hoped that Wei Hui's colleagues and neighbors could provide valuable clues, but Wei Hui never contacted anyone after work, only Zhang. Wei Hui called him the other day as if he had something to say, but in the end he hesitated a few times and said nothing. At that time, Zhang didn't feel particularly strange, because Wei Hui was such a person. He regrets it very much. If he had known that Wei Hui was in trouble, he would have gone after him.
Wei Hui's parents came from other places when they learned that their son had an accident, but they knew nothing about the police's inquiry. Wei Hui's disappearance has become an unsolved case! With great sadness, they can only choose to leave. Before leaving, they gave Zhang the key to Wei Hui's bedroom for him to keep, hoping that Wei Hui would suddenly come back one day.
Therefore, Zhang goes to Wei Hui's home every once in a while. Although it is far from where he lives, he feels that since Wei Hui's parents invited him, he should take it seriously.
That night, Zhang and his friends came out of the bar very late after drinking. The bar is close to Wei Hui's residence, so Zhang decided to sleep there for one night. He opened the door, took a bath and went to bed. As soon as he looked up, he saw the girl drawing. The girl in the picture is smiling at him. Her expression is so sweet and her eyes are full of warmth.
Zhang couldn't help getting up. He jumped out of bed to have a closer look at the picture. He stepped forward and got very close. In the bright light, he found the group of men behind the girl. How incongruous these men in different clothes are with this girl! He counted the men in the painting with great interest, a total of 22.
Suddenly, a cold sweat emerged from Zhang's back, and he suddenly felt his hair stand on end and his back was cold. He wants to move, and his whole body seems to be frozen, and he can't move at all; He wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound. It's like being possessed.
The girl's original sweet smile has become mysterious and a little evil. However, Zhang can't see these anymore, and his eyes are only fixed on one place! Among the men, there was a face he knew very well, which turned out to be the missing Wei Hui!
