Chapter 119
The tall and thin man was very stupid when he laughed, showing his big white teeth, and he could speak for toothpaste. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Xie Chi’s head: “Achi has grown up…”
“Have you got a partner? Have you bought a house? How many houses have you bought? When are you going to get married? When will you have a child? Have you chosen where the child will go to school? Have you bought a house for the child?” That bit of warmth hasn’t faded away , He didn’t have the start of four or six.
Xie Chi didn’t know if she should be angry, but she quickly calmed down and said calmly: “I have a girlfriend, I’m young, beautiful and rich. Is it a real rich woman, does the rich woman know?”
The man was shocked: “Achi! Have you been reduced to the point of being close to a rich woman? I’m so heartbroken, how long has it been since I left you, and you actually… didn’t introduce such a good thing to your teacher!”
Xie Chi was already used to him being so out of tune, and said to himself: “I took her to kowtow in front of your tablet, and I brought you wine. I know that you like drinking the most, and it was made by senior brother last year. , buried under the big tree at the door, I picked it up and tasted it, it tasted very good, you should like it.”
“Hey hey hey, it’s obviously a good thing, why does it sound so mourning?” The man said, “Someone likes you very much, I’ve been burning incense for eight lifetimes, Ah Chi, treat your daughter-in-law well, how can you find a wife like this? It’s easy, you have to be nice to others, and the people from the province run away.”
“You have ten dollars, so you spend nine dollars and nine dollars on your wife, and save the rest to buy a pack of cigarettes for your teacher. Now there is inflation, and there is no money to buy cigarettes.”
Xie Chi whispered: “I know, I will have a good life, don’t worry about me, go to reincarnation when it’s time for reincarnation, I have grown up, I will take care of your brothers and sisters for you, you will **** all your life. Heartbroken, can you live more than your own life when you die, or else when you drink Meng Po soup and Nai He Bridge passes, what do you remember?”
“Achi has really grown up.” The man was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled softly. He had never been so serious before, and when he got serious, he realized that his facial features were still very good-looking, at least they were very good-looking. Straightforward appearance.
“It’s grown so much that I don’t even recognize it.”
Xie Chi didn’t speak anymore, just looked at his tall and thin figure and fell into silence.
“You already knew that, then why are you talking so much with me.” The man tilted his head a little aggrievedly, Xie Chi said softly, “Because I haven’t seen him for too long, haven’t seen him for too long…”
And it seems that it is true, that is what he will say, Xie Chi can’t help but chat with him one after another, as if he is really talking to the person who has passed away.
The tall and thin figure slowly changed, first the hair became longer, then the skin became fairer, and even a little shorter.
The last person who appeared in front of Xie Chi was a man with an upper body. He was very young, but his temperament had a vague sense of time. The most important thing was that he had no legs in the lower body. From the waist down, it was like a tree. Something like a root, black, deeply rooted in that mountain of white bones.
“Is that person just now the biggest regret in your life?”
The man asked curiously. There was a small tear mole at the corner of his eye, which was unusually conspicuous on his fair and excessive skin.
“Yes.” Xie Chi’s biggest regret in the first half of his life was that the person who really raised her didn’t even close his eyes when he died. How much should he worry about his own children, so that he could still die in the end?
It was a regret she could never mind.
“You don’t look like the humans I’ve seen before.” The man approached Xie Chi, his strange face was full of curiosity, and when he moved, those roots-like things slowly extended, giving him more range of activities.
“You look delicious,” he said.
“Did you eat everyone here?” Xie Chi asked in a low voice.
“Yes, I have been here since I can remember. I have been sleeping because of hunger before, but not long ago, a lot of humans fell from the sky. Humans are really too fragile. , I will die as soon as I fall, and I can’t even talk to them.” The man said a little aggrievedly: “You are the first person who can talk to me, so can you not die first? Come and talk with me. .”
Xie Chi sat cross-legged on the White Bone Mountain, and actually agreed to him: “Okay, if you ask me questions, I will answer you, if I ask you questions, how about you answer me too?”
“Okay.” The man’s face showed a childlike innocent smile: “What do you want to know?”
“Who are you? Why are you here.”
“I don’t know.” He also looked confused: “I’ll be here after I wake up.”
“Never seen outside?”
“Not in memory.”
“Why are there so many corpses here?”
“I don’t know. When I opened my eyes, there were a lot of dead people here. I rooted on it. If I eat them, I will be awake longer.” The way he spoke was also a bit strange, But can understand.
He took root on these corpses, took the corpses as nutrients, and absorbed the corpses, he would be like a human being full, and if there was nothing to eat, he would fall into a deep sleep.
Then it is very likely that someone deliberately used that ghost gate to send ordinary people in. Ordinary people can’t bear the Yin Qi of this strange place. After falling, they will die soon and become part of this White Bone Mountain.
Someone wanted to wake him up.
“So you killed those people before?”
“I don’t know.” He couldn’t help frowning: “You are always asking me questions, I haven’t asked you yet.”
“go ahead.”
“How did you get in?” he asked excitedly, “Can I go out? There’s nothing here.”
Xie Chi didn’t want to deceive him, so he said: “I don’t know if you can leave from here, but I can definitely leave, even if you can leave, I will stop you, and I am not sure about your identity, and whether I will meet you. before others pose a threat.”
“I want to go out.” He said aggrievedly: “But it seems that someone told me that I can’t leave here, I have to keep guarding something, but I don’t like it here, it’s so dark here, I must have seen it before. It’s over, I want to see you again.”
He looked up at the sky in confusion, and his face looked so inhuman, but at this moment, there was a kind of human light on his body.
“I can’t remember a lot of things, but I seem to have promised a human, but I forgot what I promised that human to do, I really want to find that human, maybe that human will know who ‘I’ is, but I don’t know who that human is, whether it’s a male or a female, and whether it has become someone else’s food.”
His speech was a little confusing, but he still tried very hard to express his thoughts.
“I can help you find it, but you have to promise me something.” Xie Chi is not the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately. She doesn’t know whether this creature that doesn’t look human is good or bad, so she won’t Let him go out rashly.
But intuition tells Xie Chi that he may not be a bad person. For this place, he is more like a guardian or suppressor.
From the information from the man’s mouth, we can understand that there may be something sealed in this place, it may be a ghost, or something else, whether it can kill this creature is not to say, in case it kills him , what if a demon was released as a result?
“Okay.” He looked very innocent, and was still a little happy: “Then you don’t want to die, okay? Go and find that human being, and who am I.”
He stretched out his hand with a little excitement and stabbed into the White Bone Mountain. After groping for a long time, he grabbed a long vine, which seemed to belong to his body. The man held the vine in his hand, and the vine suddenly A small bulge appeared, and finally, slowly, a small white flower grew.
He took off the little white flower and handed it to Xie Chi: “You must help me find it, okay?”
“Okay…” Xie Chi is still under pressure, mainly because she doesn’t know anything and has no clues. How can she find someone?
But since it has been promised, it is natural to do it.
“I will try my best to find it. You can also provide me with clues.”
“Okay.” He nodded obediently, and then said: “I like you very much, because when I saw you, I didn’t know why, but I jumped very fast here. You can definitely help me find that human.”
He pointed to his heart and said, “I really really want to know who I am, because I always feel that I promised that human being something very important, and I can’t keep my word.”
“Okay…” Xie Chi was even more embarrassed. Are non-humans talking so straightforward these days? She coughed and said, “Well, I have a girlfriend.”
The man looked at Xie Chi blankly, and Xie Chi was silent for a while, thinking that he might be self-indulgent, he didn’t understand the emotion of love at all, right? But what’s the heartbeat is very fast, I like you very much when I see you, it really sounds like a confession.
She patted her cheek and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just showing off…”
“I definitely have.” He nodded and said seriously: “I think I have.”
“Okay, if you think you have it, you have it.” Xie Chi sighed, and then said, “So you don’t know anything except these? For example, is there anything else here? It’s alive.”
“Yes.” He lowered his head and looked at the White Bone Mountain: “In the innermost part, he heard it.”
As soon as the man’s voice fell, the entire White Bone Mountain suddenly shook, and the shaking was very violent, and some scattered bones fell down rustlingly.
There were also some relatively complete skeletons that were scattered at this moment.
The man frowned. Countless black vines, or roots belonging to him, drilled out from the White Bone Mountain. These roots seemed to play a fixed role. No matter how the mountain shook, it did not mean to collapse.
The shaking continued for a long time, and finally there was a very weak sound inside, as if with a little anger, and then slowly came to a standstill.
At this moment, Xie Chi actually had an idea in his mind, maybe the person who initiated it was not the man in front of him, but the thing sleeping at the bottom of this white bone mountain.
“It’s really annoying.” He said blankly, “I really want to go outside…”
“You don’t have anything, clues and the like are fine, otherwise it’s really hard to find.” Xie Chi said helplessly: “I don’t want to lie to you, but if you don’t have any clues, I want to find that one. People are difficult, and I don’t want you to wait in vain.”
“Yes.” He began to rummage around, as if he had turned over the entire pile of bones, and finally pulled out a small box: “This and this! It’s mine!”
“Then I’ll take it first.” Xie Chi took the box and put it in his pocket.
The man didn’t even worry about her running away with something wrapped in it, and kept nodding: “Okay, okay.”
He reluctantly said, “Are you leaving now? Can’t you talk to me again?”
The thin roots were quietly wrapped around Xie Chi’s ankle, looking pitiful, Xie Chi hardened his heart: “Because I have other things to do, so I can only go first, wait for me I have found relevant clues and will come back to tell you.”
“You won’t lie to me, will you?” He really stayed where he was and didn’t move, but asked Xie Chi very seriously, and Xie Chi nodded: “Even if I haven’t found any clues, I will come back to see you again. , give this back to you.”
”
it is good. “He slowly retracted his roots, and stepped back obediently: “I’ll wait for you.” ”
Xie Chi only remembered a very important thing at this time. She had to wait for the gate of **** to reopen and try to send someone in before she could leave. At that time, her expression was a little embarrassed. She just stood up and was about to leave, and sat silently again. Come back: “How about I accompany you to talk for a while.”
The man did not suspect him, but looked very happy. The two talked about it. In fact, the donkey’s lips were not with the horse’s mouth. After a while, the gate of **** opened again. When Xie Chi was about to leave, the man still used it. The root system held her up, allowing her to leave the ghost gate more easily.
“Hey, wait for me, I’ll definitely come back.” Xie Chi didn’t know why, but suddenly had this impulse, she waved her hand, and then crawled out of the ghost gate.
If that man is not a bad person, it would be a bit pitiful to think about it. In order to suppress the things in the White Bone Mountain, day after day, night after night, he stayed in that place where there was nothing, not even himself. I know, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if I still have friends and relatives, and I have even turned into a non-human monster.
He has lost all his memories, but he still remembers that he cannot leave here. He must have been a very responsible person before his death.
After Xie Chi left the ghost gate, he stepped on the ground hard: “I didn’t bring enough things today, you wait for me!”
She will be beaten back sooner or later, and she will never be spared.
That ghost door slipped so fast, I don’t know if I swallowed Xie Chi, anyway, after spitting it out, I ran away, probably because I was afraid of being beaten.
Xie Chi returned to the villa and found that Lin Xia had been sitting in front of the window sill. She thought of the lonely man again. The person he still remembers after losing his memory should be her lover, right? So even if you become a monster, you still remember that you still owe a promise.
Her heart suddenly became sour and soft, she couldn’t help but stepped forward and hugged Lin Xia: “Xia Xia.”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xia said nervously: “Have you been caught? Are you injured?”
“No.” Xie Chi rubbed her neck, briefly told the man’s story, and then said, “I was thinking just now, if I were him, how desperate you would be…”
“No, because I know that as long as you promise, I will do it. If you can’t do it, you will definitely not promise me, so I just need to wait. Don’t you see that he is also working hard?” Lin Xia said softly: “Achi, there will be many accidents in this world, and many accidents cannot be prevented by you. If, I mean, if something like that happens, don’t think too much, if you can’t come Find me, then I’ll find you.”
She felt that the ancients were really wise, otherwise, how could they have invented the phrase “Shang Qiu Bi falls to Huang Quan”.
If there is such a day, Xie Chi is trapped in a place, and there is no way to leave. If it’s a big deal, she can find it. After searching the world, she will be able to find Xie Chi one day.
Xie Chi was inexplicably excited, as if he was not afraid of anything: “Okay.”
She and Lin Xia will definitely not be the same as that person and the person he cares about.
Because she is strong enough, and her lover is strong enough.
So you don’t have to think about those messes. If you have the time to think about them, you might as well think about tonight… ahem, it’s really not her fault.
Before she experienced that kind of happiness, she hadn’t thought about that kind of thing for so many years. After driving the meat, some colored things took over the high ground in her mind.
When I saw my girlfriend, I automatically thought of a picture that would be harmonious, and then automatically turned the static picture into a small video.
unacceptable! Xie Chi was talking about herself.
How can it be like this? She used to be known as Bingqing Yujie and Xiao Xie lately.
How could she go to see Huaishan’s elders and villagers like this.
Xie Chi thought about a bunch of messes in her mind, and then fell into a deep self-criticism. These are not important, the important thing is that after self-criticism, she hugged her girlfriend: “Xia Xia, tonight… take a shower?”
Well, between the two of them, this is a kind of euphemistic way of seeking pleasure.
This sentence comes from what Lin Xia said that night for the first time: No need to wash, anyway, I have to wash it later…
Someone else might still not understand it, but it could be considered the love between the two of them.
Lin Xia was also very euphemistic: “I don’t think it’s okay to wash it later.”
Hey, it’s done.
Xie Chi is so happy. After all the work, start preparing. First of all, you must prepare dinner. Because I didn’t expect to come back so early, there is no food prepared at home, and those ghost servants are not there, even if it is a ghost. It’s also the New Year’s Eve, before returning to my hometown or something, before using some incense.
So when the two of them first came back, they bought some food. Most of them were quick-frozen food, which was relatively simple and convenient to make. They could be eaten by throwing them into the pot and cooking them.
The quick-frozen dumplings she cooked, with three fresh fillings, were almost enough for two people’s dinners. After they were full, they didn’t do those things right away.
As a human being, you have to be a little emotional.
Xie Chi has been busy for a long time, arranging the room and so on, and even cut fruit for Lin Xia to hug and sit on the sofa to eat and watch TV for a while.
Xie Chi was busy for two hours before and after, and cleaned up the bedroom again. After cleaning up, he was covered in sweat, and then he secretly took a shower.
To save Lin Xia from disliking her for being sweaty and sticky.
After doing all this, Xie Chi quietly came out of the bedroom, got tired of being with his girlfriend, and said euphemistically: “I have made the bed, and the bedroom is tidy up.”
Lin Xia couldn’t help laughing. She especially liked Xie Chi’s obvious anxiety and pretended to be calm, showing her love and concern for her all the time.
It feels really good.
“Then let’s go to bed?” Lin Xia put down the fruit bowl in her hand, put her arms around Xie Chi’s neck, and kissed her cheek: “Have you secretly bathed? I smell the shower gel.”
“Well…” Xie Chi was exposed, and even more embarrassed, he took his girlfriend to the direction of the bedroom, what happened? What’s wrong! With your girlfriend…cough, what’s so shy, isn’t it just right?
She gave herself courage, and before she pushed her girlfriend onto the bed, Lin Xia’s cell phone rang suddenly, she had to sit up and answer the phone first, after a while…
“My mother called. There are very important things at the company and I need to make a decision.” Lin Xia looked at Xie Chi apologetically: “I have to go there first.”
Xie Chi:…
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” Lin Xia put her arms around Xie Chi’s neck, gave her a big one, and put her in her ear: “I’ll give it to you when I come back…”
Xie Chi’s cheeks were getting redder and redder, and he was a little unhappy at first, but all of them disappeared at once: “Okay…”
However, after sending off her girlfriend, she was lying alone on her big bed, so lonely, so lonely… so uncomfortable…
Xie Chi turned over and over again, but couldn’t fall asleep. Finally, he got up from the bed, stepped on his slippers, turned over his jacket, and found the small box he brought back from the jacket.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she opened the box she brought from the man. Inside was a ring, which was very old and could see signs of wear.
She opened her eyes wide, took out the ring slowly, turned it over and looked at the inside, and when she saw the traces on the inside, she was stunned.
The ring suddenly fell, and fell back into the box. After rolling twice, it lay on the side of the box, revealing the words engraved on the inside.
