ghost stories

Holding the pendant on his chest, Lu Yuan stared at Meng Fanyu for a long time: "Please explain to me, don't you have a lot of books on this subject, I don't understand this."

"I don't understand either." Meng Fanyu started the car, "Let's find a place first."

Meng Fanyu held the steering wheel and tapped his fingers lightly. He was not perfunctory to Lu Yuan, he was also a little confused.

These things, whether the hole exists, the way Lu Yuan obtained the bottle, are all unknown to him, or in other words, this is part of his washed-out memory.He smiled wryly in his heart, the past that Lu Yuan was desperately trying to find, the truth that Lu Yuan was desperately trying to uncover, was exactly what he had tried desperately to wash away.The more he forgets, the more comfortable he is, as long as he can still remember what he has to do, as for the rest, it is just a game, the more emotions he invests, the deeper he sinks.

"What the hell is this?" Lu Yuan held the pendant in front of his eyes, and looked back and forth against the light.

"A lot of people want something."

"It seems to be true. Why did Xiao Yu want it? The person just said that because I didn't give her this thing, she was beaten and locked up?" Lu Yuan said Xiao Yu's name naturally, instead of " "Mom", he couldn't put himself into that memory. In the days when he had memory, he had no home and no parents.It can be seen from the files that when he heard the past from others, he also couldn't find a sense of substitution.

Meng Fanyu didn't make a sound, and drove the car quietly. The closer he was to the intersection that Lu Li said, the more things he could feel. For him to have such a strong reaction.

"This is a tool," Lu Yuan was still analyzing, "and it's an active tool. I've been wearing it for so many years. If it's a passive tool, it's impossible to have a special change and nothing..."

Meng Fanyu suddenly parked the car on the side of the road, Lu Yuan looked out the window, there was a fork in the road ahead: "Is this the road? Why did you stop?"

"I'm looking for a place to go to the bathroom." Meng Fanyu opened the car door.

"Do you want me to help you watch?" Lu Yuan smiled.

"I'm afraid you'll peek..." Meng Fanyu got out of the car, gritted his teeth and resisted the dizziness.

This is the dialogue they have not changed for more than ten years. Every time they cannot find a convenient toilet, they will have such a dialogue.Lu Yuan smiled and lowered the chair, leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes.

Meng Fanyu walked into a peach grove beside the road, and after making sure that Lu Yuan could no longer see him, he leaned against a tree: "Come out."

"Too bright." A hoarse voice sounded in the air.

"Don't talk nonsense." Meng Fanyu slid down to the mud floor, sweat rolling down his cheeks.

A burst of black mist appeared from the shadow of the tree as if blown by the wind, and slowly gathered into a human shape, which seemed insubstantial, like a phantom. After approaching Meng Fanyu erratically, the familiar bellows sound came out Laughter: "How dare you come here, master."

The word "Master" is accentuated, with a sense of humor.Meng Fanyu ignored it, just closed his eyes: "I dare you, you know best, come in."

The black shadow approached Meng Fanyu, gradually losing its shape, and the black mist enveloped Meng Fanyu.After a while, as if absorbed, the black mist disappeared around his body.

Meng Fanyu opened his eyes, the feeling of dizziness was gone, he looked at the black line on the palm of his left hand that was slowly receding, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, adjusted his clothes, and walked out of the grove.

"Turn around and we should be there," Lu Yuan looked at Meng Fanyu who was sitting in the car, "You look bad, are you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, I didn't eat anything in the morning."

It was really inconvenient for Meng Fanyu's car to drive on the country roads, but it was fine on the highway, but after turning onto the loess trail, it scratched the chassis four times within 10 minutes.

"Why don't you get out of the car and walk." Lu Yuan stretched his head out of the car window to look at the road, and the road ahead was even more potholed.

"I don't know how far away, it's okay, just scrape as often as you want."

This road is the only road leading to Lujialing. After driving for 20 minutes, no one came across it. There are wastelands on both sides of the road, occasionally there are a few trees, and more loess and weeds. It seems that the residents of Lujialing It has been a few years since I moved to the town.

The car bumped and drove for nearly an hour, and a small river appeared in front of them. The river was not wide, and it could be called a creek, but the width was less than ten meters, but the water was very clear.There was a wooden bridge on the river, Meng Fanyu got out of the car and walked to the wooden bridge.

"I have to walk," Lu Yuan followed, looking at the bridge in front of him, "Even if the car can pass, it will probably collapse halfway through."

Meng Fanyu turned his head and drove the car under the shade of a tree to park, while Lu Yuan squatted by the river staring at the water in a daze.The river water is sparkling, refracted on the stones at the bottom of the water, it looks very beautiful.

"Theoretically, I should have played here..." Lu Yuan reached out and took a handful of river water to wash his face, "I have no impression at all, not even a little special feeling."

"Let's talk about finding the old house." Standing on the bridge, Meng Fanyu felt a slight wind blowing over his body, with a long-lost familiar aura. "During hypnosis, you only recalled the things in the house."

Lu Yuan stood up, walked to the bridge, and stood side by side with Meng Fanyu, looking at the desolate path ahead: "Let's go."

Lujialing is a small village built on the back of the mountain, and its scale is not large.

It took Lu Yuan and Meng Fanyu more than ten minutes to walk into the village. When they stood on a dirt slope, they saw the village that had been sleeping for many years.

"It's...here." Lu Yuan said softly, looking at the village in front of him that was full of inexplicable sadness under the sun.

Walking into the village along the path, facing this place that completely maintains its original appearance but is suffocatingly quiet, Lu Yuan feels as if he has entered another space, as if in another world.

He looked down at the pendant quietly hanging on his chest, thought for a while, stuffed the pendant into his clothes, and began to search for the residences of Lu Jindong and Xiao Yu.

They have no goals at all, all the houses look similar, and Lu Yuan has no memory of the outside of the house, only remembers the situation inside the house, and they have to look at each house from the window.

Most of the village was searched, but they couldn't find it.

"Could it be that the file is wrong, or that the house is already..." Lu Yuan said as he walked along the road to the side of the village next to the mountain. After walking a few steps, a strange feeling came up and interrupted him. Not finished yet.

Lu Yuan couldn't remember the reason for this familiar feeling. He froze in place, looking at the road under his feet.This feeling became more and more intense, he turned his head and said to Meng Fanyu, "It seems...it's over here...this is..."

This is the route I take every day when I get home.

Meng Fanyu silently followed behind Lu Yuan, followed him skillfully through the criss-crossed dirt roads, and came to a small courtyard that looked no different from other houses.

"Here?" He asked behind Lu Yuan.

"It feels...it should be." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, walked forward, looked at the door lock, it was broken, and with a slight push, the door opened silently.

A smell of old musty and heavy dust rushed over. Lu Yuan frowned and took a step back, covering his nose with his sleeve and standing outside the door.

The room was very dark, the curtains hanging on the windows were torn, and the sunlight poured in through the openings. The few thin beams of light did not make the room more lively, but instead made the places without sunlight look darker.

It took a while for Lu Yuan's eyes to adapt to the light in the room. He took a step forward and walked into the room.

The moment his foot landed, a flash of light flashed in front of his eyes for no reason, causing a sharp pain in his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, turned around and struggled to open them: "What is this..."

Behind him, the village that was still shining with sunshine just now fell into darkness at this turn of the head.

"Fanyu!" Lu Yuan held the door frame with his hand, an indescribable sense of fear came over him, and Meng Fanyu disappeared.

Lu Yuan stood at the door, holding the door frame fiercely with his fingers, almost crushing the door frame. The despair in his heart made him breathe heavily.Meng Fanyu was still standing behind him when he entered the door, and in just this second, he disappeared, and everything that was sunny disappeared.

This village is another space. This was his first feeling when he entered the village. It was just a passing thought, but now it is getting stronger and stronger.

"Bastard!" Lu Yuan yelled loudly, and with all his strength, a piece of the door frame was crushed with a "click".

"Tell mom, where's your brother? Where's Lu Jie?" A woman's gentle voice sounded in the room, and Lu Yuan suddenly turned his head to look into the room.

The sight in front of him almost made him fall to the ground.

Dilapidated furniture, old floors, broken curtains...all gone.

There was warm yellow light in the room, and a woman sat at the dining table with her back to him, talking softly to a little boy in front of her: "Can you tell mom? Mom misses brother very much..."

When Lu Yuan saw this woman clearly, his whole body felt weak and he could hardly stand up.

He has seen this woman before, and he knows this old-fashioned dress that is so familiar, he has seen it in the autopsy room, and he has seen it in Xu Jiayin's surveillance video.

It's just that he never thought carefully about who this woman is.

"Why don't you talk?" The woman turned her back to him, and continued to speak softly, "If you refuse to talk, mom will beat you, and you can't eat..."

Lu Yuan looked over the woman's shoulder and landed on the silent child.This was a face he had seen in his chaotic memory, his own, or Lu Jie's.

The two people sitting opposite each other in the room didn't seem to notice Lu Yuan's existence, even when Lu Yuan wanted to move to see the woman's face clearly, he bumped into the stool next to him and made a lot of noise. reaction.

"Xiaoyuan is so naughty," the woman's voice was always gentle and gentle, she took a small knife from the dining table, and grabbed the child's hand, "Can you speak well? Mom will punish you if you don't speak. "

"Brother is with me." The immature child's voice made Lu Yuan's heart twitch suddenly, brother is with me.

"But my mother can't see my brother," the woman said softly, without any hesitation, she took the knife and slashed down on his arm. "Where did you hide my brother?"

The cut was deep, and it took a few seconds for the blood to flow out slowly. As the blood flowed out, Lu Yuan felt a huge pain from the same position on his arm, as if the knife had cut himself.

Lu Yuan grabbed his hand, the knife was cut on his body, and that child was him.

"Why don't you cry?" The woman's fingernails dug into the wound on his arm, "Don't you love to cry when brother is not here? Why don't you cry? Does it hurt? Tell mom, where is brother?"

The little boy's face was pale, but he didn't struggle. He just stared at the woman and let her insert her nails into the wound one by one, blood dripping on the ground continuously.

"Why don't you talk!" The woman screamed, stood up suddenly, and swung the child to the ground, "Where is Lu Jie! Where is Lu Jie! Mom is going to kill you, kill you!"
