Comprehensive fear: this dead heroine
Chapter 49 The Woman
The author has something to say: the person in charge said that this world is over, because my chapter is [-] words, and the remaining content is less than [-], it is probably a side story and follow-up, and the rest is the next story , so the next story is "That Taoist, Awe-inspiring" Lin Zhengying's zombie movie mix~~~~~~~
This time, Li Qiang remained silent for a longer period of time. His cloudy eyes swept over the four of them, and finally landed on Cissy who was sitting in the corner.
For some reason, even though it was the first time he saw this girl, Li Qiang felt that he was very familiar with her.
Perhaps it was because he had been looking at Cissy for too long, even though he was already a dying old man, it made Mao Mao feel very uncomfortable, so he leaned closer to Cissy, blocking Li Qiang's gaze.
People are old and smart, how can Li Qiang not know what Mao Mao's actions mean?He rubbed the center of his brows, a look of tiredness showing on his face.
"What happened in Huangshan Village has already passed for 70 years. Right and wrong have long been dusted. I am old and have forgotten what happened back then. You have found the wrong person."
As soon as his words fell, A Ming hurriedly said: "We found you with great difficulty, how could you forget? We..."
"Amin!"
Seeing that Amin was in a mess, Mao Mao frowned and scolded, Amin shuddered, knowing that he had lost his sense, and said sorry in a low voice, then lowered his head and stopped talking.
At Li Qiang's age, he naturally wouldn't bother with a child. He waved his hand and didn't care too much.
There was a gloomy look between Mao Mao's brows, Li Qiang's attitude was already obvious, old age was just an excuse, he obviously knew something, but for some reason, he didn't want to talk about that incident back then.
What happened in Huangshan Village made Mao Mao very uneasy, and his intuition told him that all these things are inseparable from Huangshan Village and Chu Renmei. hands.
After pondering for a moment, Mao Mao decided to tell what happened to them.
"Mr. Li, we have no choice but to come to you. We have encountered a ghost."
Hearing the word ghost, Li Qiang's expression moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything, just looked at the hair, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that Li Qiang reacted to the word ghost, Mao Mao's expression moved, and then he dropped a heavy weight.
"That ghost is Chu Renmei."
They had heard that lunatic mention in the small restaurant before that Chu Renmei loved Li Qiang the most when she was alive, and it was because of Li Qiang that Chu Renmei didn't continue to kill people. Mao Mao made a bold decision to use Chu Renmei's name to go Bet on Li Qiang's reaction.
Li Qiang's reaction exceeded Mao Mao's expectations. The name Chu Renmei seemed to be a taboo, and Mao Mao broke the silence again and again.
Li Qiang stood up suddenly, and there seemed to be something surging in those cloudy eyes. The glass cup placed on the coffee table exploded, and the fragments flew everywhere.
The hair subconsciously blocked Cissy's face, and the shards of glass grazed his cheek, leaving a long bloodstain.
One second before the glass exploded, Zuo Si rolled over to the back of the sofa and hid. All the fragments hit the sofa and did not hurt her at all.
After everything calmed down, Zuo Si stood up, and she saw Amin blocking the place where she was sitting, his luck was not very good, most of the glass shards stuck to his hand, black and red blood gushing from the wound.
Amin was in so much pain that he couldn't help panting, enduring the pain from his palm.
Li Qiang frowned, looking at the blood dripping on the dark floor, the expression on his face was distorted for a moment.
He held his breath, and said unceremoniously: "Please leave here, you are not welcome here."
The four of them didn't want to argue with an old man, and they were afraid that he would get angry and do anything wrong, so they had no choice but to leave Li Qiang's house.
The four of them stood in the dark corridor, the door of the room with lights in front of them was closed, only the light from the crack of the door was left, Mao Mao rang the doorbell a few more times, but this time, Li Qiang never heard from him again. Come and open the door.
Cissy tugged at Maofa's clothes, and said, "Forget it, Maofa, let's go, Li Qiang won't come to answer the door."
I don't know if it's because the corridor is too empty, but Cissy's voice sounds a little strange.
Mao Mao would never reject Cissy, he was silent for a moment, then nodded, and the four of them went downstairs together and left the building.
After walking for a certain distance, Mao Mao felt a little unwilling. He stopped and turned his head to look at the building where Li Qiang was.
There was a flame at the stairway, which was still dark just now, as if someone was burning something there.
Li Qiang was the only person living in that building, Mao Mao's eyes lit up, he turned around and strode towards Li Qiang.
Zuo Si hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Both Cissy and Amin didn't move. They stood in the shade of the trees, and their whole bodies seemed to be integrated with the darkness.
Zuo Si and the others were very fast, and they arrived at the downstairs in a short while. The person who was burning paper was indeed Li Qiang. There was a brazier in front of him, and the paper money inside was burning vigorously, and there were a lot of paper money beside him. , Grab a handful from time to time and stuff it into the brazier in front of you.
Li Qiang's face became somewhat distorted under the reflection of the fire. He looked at the jumping flames in the basin and muttered something.
Mao Mao squatted down/body, and looked at Li Qiang through the firelight. The ashes of the burned paper money floated in the air, and Mao Mao felt that the air he breathed into his lungs had an unpleasant burnt smell.
Mao Mao coughed twice, but Li Qiang seemed to be used to the smell. He raised his head, glanced at Mao Mao, then lowered his head, and continued to stuff paper money into the brazier.
"Mr. Li, we came to you because we had no other choice. In five days, three people have died. We are all entangled by Chu Renmei. He will kill us."
Li Qiang's hand holding the paper money trembled. He still lowered his head, but the speed of stuffing the paper money slowed down.
Zuo Si's eyes circled around the two of them, and finally returned to Li Qiang. There seemed to be something around his body. Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Qiang carefully.
From the light in the brazier, Zuo Si could see clearly that the things surrounding Li Qiang seemed to be some light gray mist.
The gray mist seemed to be alive, and it kept wandering around Li Qiang. When the hair said Chu Renmei's name, the gray mist seemed to become irritable, and it kept coming in and out of Li Qiang's body.
Li Qiang seemed to have noticed something was wrong, he coughed a few times, his voice seemed much rougher than before.
"It's been almost 100 years, and Aunt Mei's resentment still hasn't dissipated."
Hearing Li Qiang's words, Mao Mao's eyes lit up, he turned to Li Qiang's side, squatted down beside him, and helped him stuff the paper money into the brazier.
Li Qiang looked at the burning fire with a nostalgic look on his face.
"That was more than 70 years ago. At that time, I was only seven years old."
Seven-year-old Li Qiang lost his parents early on. In that era, there was chaos and chaos, and human life was cheap. If no one took care of him, a child like him would die early before he could grow up.
Li Qiang was very lucky. He met his noble man, who took good care of him, gave him food, taught him skills, and gave him the ability to make ends meet.
Those days in Huangshan Village were the best memories of Li Qiang's life, but later, those memories were torn apart abruptly and became an indelible nightmare in his life.
"Aunt Mei is a well-known Cantonese opera actress. She is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a top singing voice. There is no one better than her in Hong Kong."
"She is beautiful and has a very kind heart. If we children hadn't been taken care of by her, we would have died long ago."
Seeing that Mao Mao seemed to be trapped in memories, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and Mao Mao didn't bother him, just squatting quietly by the side, waiting for him to speak.
After a long time, Li Qiang came back to his senses. He wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes and continued: "Later, Aunt Mei was selected into the film and drama club. At that time, she was very happy. She made a lot of money, that bracelet was also given to me at that time, and she asked me to keep it a secret for her, and she was not allowed to tell that matter..."
Mao Mao is a teacher at the School of Drama, and he also has some understanding of the so-called civilized drama. In that era, especially for a woman, it really took great courage to act in this kind of drama.
Could it be that Chu Renmei died because this matter was exposed?
Li Qiang wiped his eyes, and continued: "Aunt Mei said, as long as I keep that secret for her, she will promise me anything, if I knew what would happen later..."
Bu Wantian is Chu Renmei's husband. He was born in a scholarly family and has a very high status in Huangshan Village. After he married Chu Renmei, he fell in love with the daughter of the No. [-] Bank in Guangzhou.
In order to protect his reputation, he did not divorce his wife, but used the most vicious method.
"He lied to Aunt Mei, saying that he smoked opium and owed a lot of money. Then, he colluded with Tian Qi, a gangster in the village, and insulted Aunt Mei."
"Auntie Mei loved him wholeheartedly. For this man, she was bullied by others. In the end, she was beaten to death by the people in the village because of her immorality..."
When I was talking about this, a gust of wind suddenly picked up, and the paper money in the brazier was swept up by the wind and scattered in all directions.
The fire was extinguished, and the surroundings became dark. Li Qiang's voice resounded faintly in the darkness: "After Aunt Mei was beaten to death, the people in the village wrapped her in straw mats and threw her into the wilderness. They Everyone thinks that she is immoral and has ruined the reputation of the whole village, and no one will restrain her bones..."
Li Qiang said a lot, but he never got to the point. He couldn't help but asked, "What happened later?"
Chu Renmei was already dead, and she didn't know the truth of the matter at all. She died for her beloved husband, and there should be no resentment in her heart.
Li Qiang's voice choked up, and he continued to speak, telling the truth about the tragic incident more than 70 years ago.
"If people don't want to know, unless they do nothing, Bu Wantian thought he was hiding it well, but I heard everything. Aunt Mei is such a good person. She shouldn't die. She shouldn't be the one who died. she."
At that time, Li Qiang was only a ten-year-old child. In his heart, Chu Renmei was still the best person to him. She died innocently. How could Li Qiang let her die in the wilderness?
"I went to find Aunt Mei, and told her all the truth in front of her body. I don't want her to die in ignorance. I don't want her to be reincarnated with such a reputation. She is clean. Come on, let's go clean..."
At that time, there were too many dead people, and Li Qiang saw too many dead people. Even in the mass graves, he didn't have any fear. At that time, he didn't know what would happen next.
He told Aunt Mei everything. He had never believed in ghosts and gods before, but he saw Aunt Mei who had died.
People often say that if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. However, the people in Huangshan Village have committed unforgivable crimes against Chu Renmei. When the dead people come back, those evildoers, There can only be one end.
"Three days, 66 people, so many people died in the village, the rest want to escape, but how can they escape?"
"Two-thirds of the people who died in the village were dead, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. They had done nothing wrong. Auntie Mei would not attack them. I know that even if Auntie Mei died, it would become a Li Gui, she is also the best beautiful aunt."
"I was the one who loved Aunt Mei the most when she was alive. After the drama club found out about Aunt Mei, they took me in. On the fourth day, I left Huangshan Village. Before I left, I went to see Aunt Mei and took her Return the bracelet that was once given to me to her."
"Auntie Mei once promised me that as long as I keep the secret, she will promise me anything. Even if she dies, this promise still counts."
Having said this, Li Qiang didn't continue to speak, but just said these words, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, he sat on the ground paralyzed, panting for breath.
Aunt Mei protected him when she was alive, and after she died, she still protected him. Because of Aunt Mei, he stayed in the drama club and lived to old age in peace.
After hearing such a sad story, Zuo Si felt a little uncomfortable. She couldn't tell what that feeling was, but felt that her heart was blocked and uncomfortable.
After exhaling a few long breaths, Zuo Si felt that someone was watching her, she froze for a moment, then turned her head to look over.
In the darkness not far away, Cissy and A Ming stood there quietly, they seemed to be looking at Zuo Si, and they seemed to be looking at something else through her.
That kind of gaze was soaked in too many things, it was very heavy, and made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Zuo Si stood aside, not wanting to be stared at by that kind of gaze.
Mao Mao was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he asked: "According to what you said, Chu Renmei had calmed down her grievances more than 70 years ago, so why did she make trouble this time? Is there something wrong with her tomb?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Mao Mao turned his head to look at Li Qiang who was sitting paralyzed by the side, and asked, "Mr. Li, how long has it been since you went to see Chu Renmei?"
Li Qiang froze for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then said: "I am 82 years old this year. I have been in poor health for the past two years. The last time I went to Aunt Mei's grave was three years ago. At that time, she His tomb is still fine."
"Where is her tomb?" Mao Mao asked.
Li Qiang replied: "In the barren tomb in the back mountain."
It is too late now, the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and Li Qiang is too old to accompany them, so everyone decided to rest at Li Qiang's house for the night, and at dawn tomorrow, they will go to Chu Renmei's burial place Check it out.
Li Qiang's house is big enough to accommodate a few of them. It's just that he is old and has never been married. Naturally, he has no children to help clean up. The house looks clean, but in fact, it just looks clean.
It's just that at this time, how can I care about those things?
There are only two rooms in Li Qiang's house. Mao Mao and A Ming made the floor in Li Qiang's bedroom, and Zuo Si and Cissy packed up the guest room and moved in.
Everyone had no appetite, so they didn't eat anything for dinner, and they closed the door early and went back to their rooms.
The bed in the guest room is very small, it's okay for one person to sleep, but it's a bit crowded for two people.
Zuo Si and Cissy huddled together, through a thin layer of clothes, Zuo Si felt the temperature of Cissy's body.
Her low temperature is a bit abnormal, even if the temperature at night is a little lower, it will not make her body temperature so low.
Zuo Si was a little uncomfortable, she wasn't very sensitive to cold and heat, but she instinctively didn't want to get too close to Cissy, she arched to the side, half of her body was hanging on the edge of the bed.
So asleep, how can I sleep?
Just when Zuo Si was thinking about whether to sleep on the ground, Cissy next to her suddenly leaned over. She stretched out her long arms and pulled Zuo Si into her arms. The refreshing coolness radiated from her body, and Zuo Si was exposed outside. A layer of fine particles soon appeared on the skin.
Zuo Si didn't know the meaning of Cissy's actions, and instinctively began to struggle. However, Cissy's hair scattered on the bed began to grow wildly, and soon wrapped Zuo Si up.
Zuo Si's hands and feet were all tied up, leaving only one head outside. She struggled a few times and found that the hair was entangled too tightly, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Unable to break free, Zuo Si thoughtfully gave up struggling, she opened her eyes and looked at Cissy who was close at hand.
Her eyes were crystal clear and incredibly clean. It seemed that such pure eyes would never be stained by the filth of the world.
No matter what happens, she always seems to be like this, without fear, fear, or despair.
She doesn't seem to care about anything, even when her life is threatened, she still looks calm and calm, as if everything is meaningless.
She lowered her head and looked at Zuo Si, those eyes shone with a faint green light in the darkness.
She can see the deepest fear hidden in people's hearts, but she has never seen it.
Fearless...is she really fearless?
After countless experiments, she seemed to have an answer in her heart, but this answer was not what she wanted. She looked at Zuo Si, as if she wanted to see the depths of her soul through her eyes.
Being stared at by those hotel eyes, Zuo Si felt a little uncomfortable. She moved her head, and her body wrapped in hair felt very uncomfortable. After a long silence, Zuo Si asked, "Are you Chu Renmei?" Is it?"
The hair wrapped around her body tightened suddenly, Zuo Si even heard the crackling sound of her bones being overwhelmed, she didn't feel anything, just looked at her, waiting for an answer.
The room fell into a deathly silence, and the black hair spread upwards, covering Zuo Si's eyes.
"sleep."
She only said a few words, and then there was no sound. Zuo Si, whose eyes were covered by black hair, couldn't see anything. She fell silent, and after a while, there was a slight snoring sound.
Chu Renmei was stunned. She knew her identity, and even her body was imprisoned by her. In this situation, any normal person would have to cry, but she can still sleep?
Chu Renmei didn't know what words to use to describe her mood at this time. She didn't need to sleep originally, but she just looked at Zuo Si's sleeping appearance, and she couldn't help closing her eyes, wrapping Zuo Si's hair in her arms. After tugging inside, she hugged her with her hair in her arms, absorbing the heat from Zuo Si's body, Chu Renmei closed her eyes, and fell asleep not long after.
There was no dream all night, and the next day, just after dawn, Zuo Si woke up from his sleep.
The hair that wrapped her body last night had disappeared, and Zuo Si, who had regained his freedom, moved his body and slowly sat up from the bed.
Cissy, who was sleeping next to her, had disappeared, and went to some unknown place. Zuo Si looked at the empty space beside her, and stretched out his hand to pat it twice.
At this moment, the door was opened, and Cissy's beautiful face appeared at the door, she looked at Zuo Si with a faint smile on her face: "You are awake, come and eat, everyone is already up , you are the only one left.”
"Ah."
What happened last night, facing Cissy, Zuo Si still didn't have much expression. Her indifferent appearance caused the smile on Cissy's face to collapse a bit. The smile in her eyes faded. She looked at Zuo Si glanced at him, turned around and left without saying anything.
The door was closed again, leaving Zuo Si alone in the room. She seemed to feel that Cissy was not emotional, but she didn't care too much. Compared with the previous Cissy who was full of malice towards her, this kind of Cissy was already more serious. Much better.
After leaving the room, the rest of the people were sitting at the dining table to eat. Seeing her coming out, Amin immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Annie, you're up."
Zuo Si nodded, hummed, then turned and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After simply washing up and coming out, those people had already eaten. Amin took the breakfast left for her aside. It was just a simple soy milk fritters. It was delicious.
After breakfast, everyone was ready to set off. The road up the mountain was very difficult. The path was overgrown with weeds because no one walked it all year round. There was no way to get off, so everyone had to take a long detour and take the main road.
They had never been on this road before, and could only rely on Li Qiang to lead the way. Li Qiang was getting older, and his memory and physical strength were not as good as before. After walking around for a long time, they found the right road.
They walked in a hurry when they came, and they didn't bring anything. After walking such a long distance under the sun, their mouths and tongues were already parched.
The creek on the side of the road was crystal clear. Li Qiang said that it was mountain spring water flowing down from the top of the mountain, which was no worse than the tap water in the city.
He took a sip first, and Amin and Mao Mao didn't hold back either. They took a step forward and took a few sips of spring water.
Zuo Si's throat seemed to be on fire again. Seeing that they were drinking happily, he hesitated for a moment, then wanted to go forward.
Just two steps away, her wrist was grabbed, and Cissy's voice rang in her ears: "Don't go, the water is dirty."
Zuo Si was slightly taken aback, looking at Cissy with strange eyes, she thought about it, and decided to listen to Cissy for a while, instead of drinking the spring water in the pool.
Cissy hooked the corners of her mouth, and a strange smile appeared on her face, but the smile came and went quickly, and disappeared soon after it appeared.
After drinking the spring water and quenching their thirst, everyone took a short rest and continued on their way. This time, Li Qiang did not misjudge their way again, and they arrived at their destination smoothly.
However, when they got to the ground, everyone discovered that the place had been bulldozed, and the cranes and excavators inside were coming and going, and they were very busy.
Li Qiang froze there, his face changed drastically, he clutched his chest, panting for breath.
Seeing this, Mao Mao hurried over and supported Li Qiang.
"Mr. Li, what's going on? Are you sure Chu Renmei's body is buried here?"
Li Qiang was panting for a long time, and it took a long time to recover.
"That's right, how could I remember wrongly, I haven't been here for three years, who knew that such a thing would happen?!"
In a place like a construction site, except for the workers, few people come here. The foreman saw a few strangers here, so he came over and asked.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
When the foreman saw them, old and young, men and women, he spoke politely.
Li Qiang had recovered his strength now, and hurriedly asked where the original tombs here were.
"The plane's flight path has been rerouted. A transmitter base station is going to be built here. There are special bone picking teams to clean up the original bones here. Don't worry, they won't just throw them around."
Listening to his words, Zuo Si frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with the breath around him, Zuo Si glanced sideways.
Cissy looked at the foreman with a blank face, the black mist in her eyes kept rolling, and she seemed to be angry.
Mao Mao and the others didn't really believe what the foreman said. If Chu Renmei's bones were really well placed, how could they encounter such things?
After inquiring about the place where the bones migrated, several people rushed over without stopping.
Li Qiang was really too old. In the end, only relying on Mao Mao and A Ming to support him, he reached the place pointed by the foreman.
When they reached the ground and searched around, they couldn't find Chu Renmei's tombstone. At this moment, Mao Mao's heart sank completely.
Before, there was still some faint hope, but now, it is completely hopeless.
When Chu Renmei was buried before, Li Qiang was young and had no money in his hands, so he just buried her on the spot and installed a tombstone. Later, as time went by, he had spare money, but because of various The reason is that after so many years, she has not been replaced with a good coffin. She is still wrapped in a broken straw mat and buried in the loess.
The bone pickers also have their own way of doing things. He hasn't come to visit the grave for more than three years. Chu Renmei's tomb is probably deserted. In addition, there is no coffin. Those bone pickers may think that It is a tomb without an owner.
People in the bone picking business don't have any reverence for ghosts and gods. If they do, they won't do this business. Those who have status will naturally be properly placed. As for those unowned tombs, naturally they won't bother to place.
Li Qiang's body fell limply on the ground, thinking of all kinds of things that might happen to Chu Renmei's body, he couldn't help crying while covering his face.
An old man in his 80s cried like a child. Mao Mao and A Ming coaxed him for a long time, but he still had no intention of stopping.
Cissy stood not far away, looking at Li Qiang who was crying indifferently.
Just crying can't solve the problem, and what should be done must be done. After crying, several people split up and started to search for Chu Renmei's body.
Since most of the bones have been moved here, with the temperament of those in the bone picking team, they will not take her bones to other places. At most, they will throw them away casually. Can't do it.
Mao Mao accompanied Li Qiang, Zuo Si and Cissy in a group, and A Ming was in a group alone. No one went to search separately. No matter whether they found it or not, they had to gather here after an hour.
Everyone didn't have any opinions on this, and Li Qiang and the others left quickly, leaving only Zuo Si and Cissy here.
Cissy didn't move, neither did Zuo Si, the two stood there silently for about ten minutes, Cissy lost her composure, and spoke first, "Why don't you go find it?"
Zuo Si glanced at her, as if looking at a fool: "Aren't you here? What else am I looking for?"
Cissy... Chu Renmei choked for a moment, lost her temper by Zuo Si, who played cards out of common sense.
She couldn't think clearly about many things by herself, and her thinking and hers seemed to never be on the same line.
After staring at Zuo Si for a long time, Chu Renmei asked the question that she had always wanted to know.
"Aren't you afraid?"
The mountain wind was howling, and Zuo Si's long hair was messed up by the wind. She put the messy hair behind her ears, and met Chu Renmei's clear eyes.
"Not afraid."
She only said these two words, and said nothing more.
Probably because the brain development is much slower than that of normal people, and many ordinary people's emotions are absent, such as anger, sadness, fear, despair, these negative emotions never seem to appear in her body.
In the past few days, Zuo Si has experienced many things, but Zuo Si has never felt afraid. She knows that Chu Renmei is different from herself, and also knows that what happened these days has a lot to do with Chu Renmei, but , all of this, what is there to be afraid of?
After a brief conversation, the two didn't say anything more. About half an hour later, Mao Fafa and Li Qiang came back, and they found Chu Renmei's body.
After waiting here for a while, after A Ming came back, the five of them went together to the place where Chu Renmei's body was found.
The bone picking team threw her bones on a slope. It rained a few days ago, and a landslide occurred on that slope, and her bones sank into the pool.
Mao Mao and A Ming went into the water and fished up her body, but the bracelet that was originally on her hand was gone.
Li Qiang's face changed drastically, and he almost passed out again.
Chu Renmei, who had been standing silently beside Zuo Si, raised her hand and pointed to the bottom of the water not far away.
Zuo Si saw her movements, and Zuo Si, whose brain was slow to react, quickly understood what she meant.
Before everyone could react, Zuo Si jumped into the pool and fished out the bracelet.
She handed the bracelet to Chu Renmei. She looked down at the crude bracelet with a strange smile on her lips.
She brought the bracelet to her own body with her own hands.
Mao Mao bought a coffin and reburied Chu Renmei's body. A brand new tombstone was erected. Li Qiang stroked the tombstone and burst into tears.
Everything seems to be over.
This time, Li Qiang remained silent for a longer period of time. His cloudy eyes swept over the four of them, and finally landed on Cissy who was sitting in the corner.
For some reason, even though it was the first time he saw this girl, Li Qiang felt that he was very familiar with her.
Perhaps it was because he had been looking at Cissy for too long, even though he was already a dying old man, it made Mao Mao feel very uncomfortable, so he leaned closer to Cissy, blocking Li Qiang's gaze.
People are old and smart, how can Li Qiang not know what Mao Mao's actions mean?He rubbed the center of his brows, a look of tiredness showing on his face.
"What happened in Huangshan Village has already passed for 70 years. Right and wrong have long been dusted. I am old and have forgotten what happened back then. You have found the wrong person."
As soon as his words fell, A Ming hurriedly said: "We found you with great difficulty, how could you forget? We..."
"Amin!"
Seeing that Amin was in a mess, Mao Mao frowned and scolded, Amin shuddered, knowing that he had lost his sense, and said sorry in a low voice, then lowered his head and stopped talking.
At Li Qiang's age, he naturally wouldn't bother with a child. He waved his hand and didn't care too much.
There was a gloomy look between Mao Mao's brows, Li Qiang's attitude was already obvious, old age was just an excuse, he obviously knew something, but for some reason, he didn't want to talk about that incident back then.
What happened in Huangshan Village made Mao Mao very uneasy, and his intuition told him that all these things are inseparable from Huangshan Village and Chu Renmei. hands.
After pondering for a moment, Mao Mao decided to tell what happened to them.
"Mr. Li, we have no choice but to come to you. We have encountered a ghost."
Hearing the word ghost, Li Qiang's expression moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything, just looked at the hair, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that Li Qiang reacted to the word ghost, Mao Mao's expression moved, and then he dropped a heavy weight.
"That ghost is Chu Renmei."
They had heard that lunatic mention in the small restaurant before that Chu Renmei loved Li Qiang the most when she was alive, and it was because of Li Qiang that Chu Renmei didn't continue to kill people. Mao Mao made a bold decision to use Chu Renmei's name to go Bet on Li Qiang's reaction.
Li Qiang's reaction exceeded Mao Mao's expectations. The name Chu Renmei seemed to be a taboo, and Mao Mao broke the silence again and again.
Li Qiang stood up suddenly, and there seemed to be something surging in those cloudy eyes. The glass cup placed on the coffee table exploded, and the fragments flew everywhere.
The hair subconsciously blocked Cissy's face, and the shards of glass grazed his cheek, leaving a long bloodstain.
One second before the glass exploded, Zuo Si rolled over to the back of the sofa and hid. All the fragments hit the sofa and did not hurt her at all.
After everything calmed down, Zuo Si stood up, and she saw Amin blocking the place where she was sitting, his luck was not very good, most of the glass shards stuck to his hand, black and red blood gushing from the wound.
Amin was in so much pain that he couldn't help panting, enduring the pain from his palm.
Li Qiang frowned, looking at the blood dripping on the dark floor, the expression on his face was distorted for a moment.
He held his breath, and said unceremoniously: "Please leave here, you are not welcome here."
The four of them didn't want to argue with an old man, and they were afraid that he would get angry and do anything wrong, so they had no choice but to leave Li Qiang's house.
The four of them stood in the dark corridor, the door of the room with lights in front of them was closed, only the light from the crack of the door was left, Mao Mao rang the doorbell a few more times, but this time, Li Qiang never heard from him again. Come and open the door.
Cissy tugged at Maofa's clothes, and said, "Forget it, Maofa, let's go, Li Qiang won't come to answer the door."
I don't know if it's because the corridor is too empty, but Cissy's voice sounds a little strange.
Mao Mao would never reject Cissy, he was silent for a moment, then nodded, and the four of them went downstairs together and left the building.
After walking for a certain distance, Mao Mao felt a little unwilling. He stopped and turned his head to look at the building where Li Qiang was.
There was a flame at the stairway, which was still dark just now, as if someone was burning something there.
Li Qiang was the only person living in that building, Mao Mao's eyes lit up, he turned around and strode towards Li Qiang.
Zuo Si hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Both Cissy and Amin didn't move. They stood in the shade of the trees, and their whole bodies seemed to be integrated with the darkness.
Zuo Si and the others were very fast, and they arrived at the downstairs in a short while. The person who was burning paper was indeed Li Qiang. There was a brazier in front of him, and the paper money inside was burning vigorously, and there were a lot of paper money beside him. , Grab a handful from time to time and stuff it into the brazier in front of you.
Li Qiang's face became somewhat distorted under the reflection of the fire. He looked at the jumping flames in the basin and muttered something.
Mao Mao squatted down/body, and looked at Li Qiang through the firelight. The ashes of the burned paper money floated in the air, and Mao Mao felt that the air he breathed into his lungs had an unpleasant burnt smell.
Mao Mao coughed twice, but Li Qiang seemed to be used to the smell. He raised his head, glanced at Mao Mao, then lowered his head, and continued to stuff paper money into the brazier.
"Mr. Li, we came to you because we had no other choice. In five days, three people have died. We are all entangled by Chu Renmei. He will kill us."
Li Qiang's hand holding the paper money trembled. He still lowered his head, but the speed of stuffing the paper money slowed down.
Zuo Si's eyes circled around the two of them, and finally returned to Li Qiang. There seemed to be something around his body. Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Qiang carefully.
From the light in the brazier, Zuo Si could see clearly that the things surrounding Li Qiang seemed to be some light gray mist.
The gray mist seemed to be alive, and it kept wandering around Li Qiang. When the hair said Chu Renmei's name, the gray mist seemed to become irritable, and it kept coming in and out of Li Qiang's body.
Li Qiang seemed to have noticed something was wrong, he coughed a few times, his voice seemed much rougher than before.
"It's been almost 100 years, and Aunt Mei's resentment still hasn't dissipated."
Hearing Li Qiang's words, Mao Mao's eyes lit up, he turned to Li Qiang's side, squatted down beside him, and helped him stuff the paper money into the brazier.
Li Qiang looked at the burning fire with a nostalgic look on his face.
"That was more than 70 years ago. At that time, I was only seven years old."
Seven-year-old Li Qiang lost his parents early on. In that era, there was chaos and chaos, and human life was cheap. If no one took care of him, a child like him would die early before he could grow up.
Li Qiang was very lucky. He met his noble man, who took good care of him, gave him food, taught him skills, and gave him the ability to make ends meet.
Those days in Huangshan Village were the best memories of Li Qiang's life, but later, those memories were torn apart abruptly and became an indelible nightmare in his life.
"Aunt Mei is a well-known Cantonese opera actress. She is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a top singing voice. There is no one better than her in Hong Kong."
"She is beautiful and has a very kind heart. If we children hadn't been taken care of by her, we would have died long ago."
Seeing that Mao Mao seemed to be trapped in memories, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and Mao Mao didn't bother him, just squatting quietly by the side, waiting for him to speak.
After a long time, Li Qiang came back to his senses. He wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes and continued: "Later, Aunt Mei was selected into the film and drama club. At that time, she was very happy. She made a lot of money, that bracelet was also given to me at that time, and she asked me to keep it a secret for her, and she was not allowed to tell that matter..."
Mao Mao is a teacher at the School of Drama, and he also has some understanding of the so-called civilized drama. In that era, especially for a woman, it really took great courage to act in this kind of drama.
Could it be that Chu Renmei died because this matter was exposed?
Li Qiang wiped his eyes, and continued: "Aunt Mei said, as long as I keep that secret for her, she will promise me anything, if I knew what would happen later..."
Bu Wantian is Chu Renmei's husband. He was born in a scholarly family and has a very high status in Huangshan Village. After he married Chu Renmei, he fell in love with the daughter of the No. [-] Bank in Guangzhou.
In order to protect his reputation, he did not divorce his wife, but used the most vicious method.
"He lied to Aunt Mei, saying that he smoked opium and owed a lot of money. Then, he colluded with Tian Qi, a gangster in the village, and insulted Aunt Mei."
"Auntie Mei loved him wholeheartedly. For this man, she was bullied by others. In the end, she was beaten to death by the people in the village because of her immorality..."
When I was talking about this, a gust of wind suddenly picked up, and the paper money in the brazier was swept up by the wind and scattered in all directions.
The fire was extinguished, and the surroundings became dark. Li Qiang's voice resounded faintly in the darkness: "After Aunt Mei was beaten to death, the people in the village wrapped her in straw mats and threw her into the wilderness. They Everyone thinks that she is immoral and has ruined the reputation of the whole village, and no one will restrain her bones..."
Li Qiang said a lot, but he never got to the point. He couldn't help but asked, "What happened later?"
Chu Renmei was already dead, and she didn't know the truth of the matter at all. She died for her beloved husband, and there should be no resentment in her heart.
Li Qiang's voice choked up, and he continued to speak, telling the truth about the tragic incident more than 70 years ago.
"If people don't want to know, unless they do nothing, Bu Wantian thought he was hiding it well, but I heard everything. Aunt Mei is such a good person. She shouldn't die. She shouldn't be the one who died. she."
At that time, Li Qiang was only a ten-year-old child. In his heart, Chu Renmei was still the best person to him. She died innocently. How could Li Qiang let her die in the wilderness?
"I went to find Aunt Mei, and told her all the truth in front of her body. I don't want her to die in ignorance. I don't want her to be reincarnated with such a reputation. She is clean. Come on, let's go clean..."
At that time, there were too many dead people, and Li Qiang saw too many dead people. Even in the mass graves, he didn't have any fear. At that time, he didn't know what would happen next.
He told Aunt Mei everything. He had never believed in ghosts and gods before, but he saw Aunt Mei who had died.
People often say that if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. However, the people in Huangshan Village have committed unforgivable crimes against Chu Renmei. When the dead people come back, those evildoers, There can only be one end.
"Three days, 66 people, so many people died in the village, the rest want to escape, but how can they escape?"
"Two-thirds of the people who died in the village were dead, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. They had done nothing wrong. Auntie Mei would not attack them. I know that even if Auntie Mei died, it would become a Li Gui, she is also the best beautiful aunt."
"I was the one who loved Aunt Mei the most when she was alive. After the drama club found out about Aunt Mei, they took me in. On the fourth day, I left Huangshan Village. Before I left, I went to see Aunt Mei and took her Return the bracelet that was once given to me to her."
"Auntie Mei once promised me that as long as I keep the secret, she will promise me anything. Even if she dies, this promise still counts."
Having said this, Li Qiang didn't continue to speak, but just said these words, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, he sat on the ground paralyzed, panting for breath.
Aunt Mei protected him when she was alive, and after she died, she still protected him. Because of Aunt Mei, he stayed in the drama club and lived to old age in peace.
After hearing such a sad story, Zuo Si felt a little uncomfortable. She couldn't tell what that feeling was, but felt that her heart was blocked and uncomfortable.
After exhaling a few long breaths, Zuo Si felt that someone was watching her, she froze for a moment, then turned her head to look over.
In the darkness not far away, Cissy and A Ming stood there quietly, they seemed to be looking at Zuo Si, and they seemed to be looking at something else through her.
That kind of gaze was soaked in too many things, it was very heavy, and made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Zuo Si stood aside, not wanting to be stared at by that kind of gaze.
Mao Mao was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he asked: "According to what you said, Chu Renmei had calmed down her grievances more than 70 years ago, so why did she make trouble this time? Is there something wrong with her tomb?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Mao Mao turned his head to look at Li Qiang who was sitting paralyzed by the side, and asked, "Mr. Li, how long has it been since you went to see Chu Renmei?"
Li Qiang froze for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then said: "I am 82 years old this year. I have been in poor health for the past two years. The last time I went to Aunt Mei's grave was three years ago. At that time, she His tomb is still fine."
"Where is her tomb?" Mao Mao asked.
Li Qiang replied: "In the barren tomb in the back mountain."
It is too late now, the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and Li Qiang is too old to accompany them, so everyone decided to rest at Li Qiang's house for the night, and at dawn tomorrow, they will go to Chu Renmei's burial place Check it out.
Li Qiang's house is big enough to accommodate a few of them. It's just that he is old and has never been married. Naturally, he has no children to help clean up. The house looks clean, but in fact, it just looks clean.
It's just that at this time, how can I care about those things?
There are only two rooms in Li Qiang's house. Mao Mao and A Ming made the floor in Li Qiang's bedroom, and Zuo Si and Cissy packed up the guest room and moved in.
Everyone had no appetite, so they didn't eat anything for dinner, and they closed the door early and went back to their rooms.
The bed in the guest room is very small, it's okay for one person to sleep, but it's a bit crowded for two people.
Zuo Si and Cissy huddled together, through a thin layer of clothes, Zuo Si felt the temperature of Cissy's body.
Her low temperature is a bit abnormal, even if the temperature at night is a little lower, it will not make her body temperature so low.
Zuo Si was a little uncomfortable, she wasn't very sensitive to cold and heat, but she instinctively didn't want to get too close to Cissy, she arched to the side, half of her body was hanging on the edge of the bed.
So asleep, how can I sleep?
Just when Zuo Si was thinking about whether to sleep on the ground, Cissy next to her suddenly leaned over. She stretched out her long arms and pulled Zuo Si into her arms. The refreshing coolness radiated from her body, and Zuo Si was exposed outside. A layer of fine particles soon appeared on the skin.
Zuo Si didn't know the meaning of Cissy's actions, and instinctively began to struggle. However, Cissy's hair scattered on the bed began to grow wildly, and soon wrapped Zuo Si up.
Zuo Si's hands and feet were all tied up, leaving only one head outside. She struggled a few times and found that the hair was entangled too tightly, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Unable to break free, Zuo Si thoughtfully gave up struggling, she opened her eyes and looked at Cissy who was close at hand.
Her eyes were crystal clear and incredibly clean. It seemed that such pure eyes would never be stained by the filth of the world.
No matter what happens, she always seems to be like this, without fear, fear, or despair.
She doesn't seem to care about anything, even when her life is threatened, she still looks calm and calm, as if everything is meaningless.
She lowered her head and looked at Zuo Si, those eyes shone with a faint green light in the darkness.
She can see the deepest fear hidden in people's hearts, but she has never seen it.
Fearless...is she really fearless?
After countless experiments, she seemed to have an answer in her heart, but this answer was not what she wanted. She looked at Zuo Si, as if she wanted to see the depths of her soul through her eyes.
Being stared at by those hotel eyes, Zuo Si felt a little uncomfortable. She moved her head, and her body wrapped in hair felt very uncomfortable. After a long silence, Zuo Si asked, "Are you Chu Renmei?" Is it?"
The hair wrapped around her body tightened suddenly, Zuo Si even heard the crackling sound of her bones being overwhelmed, she didn't feel anything, just looked at her, waiting for an answer.
The room fell into a deathly silence, and the black hair spread upwards, covering Zuo Si's eyes.
"sleep."
She only said a few words, and then there was no sound. Zuo Si, whose eyes were covered by black hair, couldn't see anything. She fell silent, and after a while, there was a slight snoring sound.
Chu Renmei was stunned. She knew her identity, and even her body was imprisoned by her. In this situation, any normal person would have to cry, but she can still sleep?
Chu Renmei didn't know what words to use to describe her mood at this time. She didn't need to sleep originally, but she just looked at Zuo Si's sleeping appearance, and she couldn't help closing her eyes, wrapping Zuo Si's hair in her arms. After tugging inside, she hugged her with her hair in her arms, absorbing the heat from Zuo Si's body, Chu Renmei closed her eyes, and fell asleep not long after.
There was no dream all night, and the next day, just after dawn, Zuo Si woke up from his sleep.
The hair that wrapped her body last night had disappeared, and Zuo Si, who had regained his freedom, moved his body and slowly sat up from the bed.
Cissy, who was sleeping next to her, had disappeared, and went to some unknown place. Zuo Si looked at the empty space beside her, and stretched out his hand to pat it twice.
At this moment, the door was opened, and Cissy's beautiful face appeared at the door, she looked at Zuo Si with a faint smile on her face: "You are awake, come and eat, everyone is already up , you are the only one left.”
"Ah."
What happened last night, facing Cissy, Zuo Si still didn't have much expression. Her indifferent appearance caused the smile on Cissy's face to collapse a bit. The smile in her eyes faded. She looked at Zuo Si glanced at him, turned around and left without saying anything.
The door was closed again, leaving Zuo Si alone in the room. She seemed to feel that Cissy was not emotional, but she didn't care too much. Compared with the previous Cissy who was full of malice towards her, this kind of Cissy was already more serious. Much better.
After leaving the room, the rest of the people were sitting at the dining table to eat. Seeing her coming out, Amin immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Annie, you're up."
Zuo Si nodded, hummed, then turned and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After simply washing up and coming out, those people had already eaten. Amin took the breakfast left for her aside. It was just a simple soy milk fritters. It was delicious.
After breakfast, everyone was ready to set off. The road up the mountain was very difficult. The path was overgrown with weeds because no one walked it all year round. There was no way to get off, so everyone had to take a long detour and take the main road.
They had never been on this road before, and could only rely on Li Qiang to lead the way. Li Qiang was getting older, and his memory and physical strength were not as good as before. After walking around for a long time, they found the right road.
They walked in a hurry when they came, and they didn't bring anything. After walking such a long distance under the sun, their mouths and tongues were already parched.
The creek on the side of the road was crystal clear. Li Qiang said that it was mountain spring water flowing down from the top of the mountain, which was no worse than the tap water in the city.
He took a sip first, and Amin and Mao Mao didn't hold back either. They took a step forward and took a few sips of spring water.
Zuo Si's throat seemed to be on fire again. Seeing that they were drinking happily, he hesitated for a moment, then wanted to go forward.
Just two steps away, her wrist was grabbed, and Cissy's voice rang in her ears: "Don't go, the water is dirty."
Zuo Si was slightly taken aback, looking at Cissy with strange eyes, she thought about it, and decided to listen to Cissy for a while, instead of drinking the spring water in the pool.
Cissy hooked the corners of her mouth, and a strange smile appeared on her face, but the smile came and went quickly, and disappeared soon after it appeared.
After drinking the spring water and quenching their thirst, everyone took a short rest and continued on their way. This time, Li Qiang did not misjudge their way again, and they arrived at their destination smoothly.
However, when they got to the ground, everyone discovered that the place had been bulldozed, and the cranes and excavators inside were coming and going, and they were very busy.
Li Qiang froze there, his face changed drastically, he clutched his chest, panting for breath.
Seeing this, Mao Mao hurried over and supported Li Qiang.
"Mr. Li, what's going on? Are you sure Chu Renmei's body is buried here?"
Li Qiang was panting for a long time, and it took a long time to recover.
"That's right, how could I remember wrongly, I haven't been here for three years, who knew that such a thing would happen?!"
In a place like a construction site, except for the workers, few people come here. The foreman saw a few strangers here, so he came over and asked.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
When the foreman saw them, old and young, men and women, he spoke politely.
Li Qiang had recovered his strength now, and hurriedly asked where the original tombs here were.
"The plane's flight path has been rerouted. A transmitter base station is going to be built here. There are special bone picking teams to clean up the original bones here. Don't worry, they won't just throw them around."
Listening to his words, Zuo Si frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with the breath around him, Zuo Si glanced sideways.
Cissy looked at the foreman with a blank face, the black mist in her eyes kept rolling, and she seemed to be angry.
Mao Mao and the others didn't really believe what the foreman said. If Chu Renmei's bones were really well placed, how could they encounter such things?
After inquiring about the place where the bones migrated, several people rushed over without stopping.
Li Qiang was really too old. In the end, only relying on Mao Mao and A Ming to support him, he reached the place pointed by the foreman.
When they reached the ground and searched around, they couldn't find Chu Renmei's tombstone. At this moment, Mao Mao's heart sank completely.
Before, there was still some faint hope, but now, it is completely hopeless.
When Chu Renmei was buried before, Li Qiang was young and had no money in his hands, so he just buried her on the spot and installed a tombstone. Later, as time went by, he had spare money, but because of various The reason is that after so many years, she has not been replaced with a good coffin. She is still wrapped in a broken straw mat and buried in the loess.
The bone pickers also have their own way of doing things. He hasn't come to visit the grave for more than three years. Chu Renmei's tomb is probably deserted. In addition, there is no coffin. Those bone pickers may think that It is a tomb without an owner.
People in the bone picking business don't have any reverence for ghosts and gods. If they do, they won't do this business. Those who have status will naturally be properly placed. As for those unowned tombs, naturally they won't bother to place.
Li Qiang's body fell limply on the ground, thinking of all kinds of things that might happen to Chu Renmei's body, he couldn't help crying while covering his face.
An old man in his 80s cried like a child. Mao Mao and A Ming coaxed him for a long time, but he still had no intention of stopping.
Cissy stood not far away, looking at Li Qiang who was crying indifferently.
Just crying can't solve the problem, and what should be done must be done. After crying, several people split up and started to search for Chu Renmei's body.
Since most of the bones have been moved here, with the temperament of those in the bone picking team, they will not take her bones to other places. At most, they will throw them away casually. Can't do it.
Mao Mao accompanied Li Qiang, Zuo Si and Cissy in a group, and A Ming was in a group alone. No one went to search separately. No matter whether they found it or not, they had to gather here after an hour.
Everyone didn't have any opinions on this, and Li Qiang and the others left quickly, leaving only Zuo Si and Cissy here.
Cissy didn't move, neither did Zuo Si, the two stood there silently for about ten minutes, Cissy lost her composure, and spoke first, "Why don't you go find it?"
Zuo Si glanced at her, as if looking at a fool: "Aren't you here? What else am I looking for?"
Cissy... Chu Renmei choked for a moment, lost her temper by Zuo Si, who played cards out of common sense.
She couldn't think clearly about many things by herself, and her thinking and hers seemed to never be on the same line.
After staring at Zuo Si for a long time, Chu Renmei asked the question that she had always wanted to know.
"Aren't you afraid?"
The mountain wind was howling, and Zuo Si's long hair was messed up by the wind. She put the messy hair behind her ears, and met Chu Renmei's clear eyes.
"Not afraid."
She only said these two words, and said nothing more.
Probably because the brain development is much slower than that of normal people, and many ordinary people's emotions are absent, such as anger, sadness, fear, despair, these negative emotions never seem to appear in her body.
In the past few days, Zuo Si has experienced many things, but Zuo Si has never felt afraid. She knows that Chu Renmei is different from herself, and also knows that what happened these days has a lot to do with Chu Renmei, but , all of this, what is there to be afraid of?
After a brief conversation, the two didn't say anything more. About half an hour later, Mao Fafa and Li Qiang came back, and they found Chu Renmei's body.
After waiting here for a while, after A Ming came back, the five of them went together to the place where Chu Renmei's body was found.
The bone picking team threw her bones on a slope. It rained a few days ago, and a landslide occurred on that slope, and her bones sank into the pool.
Mao Mao and A Ming went into the water and fished up her body, but the bracelet that was originally on her hand was gone.
Li Qiang's face changed drastically, and he almost passed out again.
Chu Renmei, who had been standing silently beside Zuo Si, raised her hand and pointed to the bottom of the water not far away.
Zuo Si saw her movements, and Zuo Si, whose brain was slow to react, quickly understood what she meant.
Before everyone could react, Zuo Si jumped into the pool and fished out the bracelet.
She handed the bracelet to Chu Renmei. She looked down at the crude bracelet with a strange smile on her lips.
She brought the bracelet to her own body with her own hands.
Mao Mao bought a coffin and reburied Chu Renmei's body. A brand new tombstone was erected. Li Qiang stroked the tombstone and burst into tears.
Everything seems to be over.
