Chapter 17 The past, the secluded grass and trees cover the old feelings
The photo behind the door really shocked us, and even the confinement was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.
"Hehe, it's a photo...... It's scary. Coming back to her senses, Yuezi smiled, breaking the stiff atmosphere for a moment.
"It seems to be a wedding photo of the couple who used to live in this house. "I took a look, and the woman on it was wearing a white wedding dress, which was supposed to be a wedding photo.
I have to say that the woman in the photo is very beautiful, with a melon seed face and a sweet smile, worthy of being an actress. As for the man in the photo, he looks a little scholarly, but his face is a little sickly, and his whole face looks a little thin.
After all, the photo above is a dead man. We didn't look much at it, Yuezi said "excuse me" and walked out of the room, and Yuhui also walked out without saying a word.
Xue Qi and I were the only ones who took a look at the photo.
"Papa, the photo seems to be ...... There are words. Xue Qi suddenly reminded me in a low voice, and when I heard Xue Qi's reminder, I squinted, took a step forward, and took a look.
I don't know if I don't see it, but when I look at it, it really shocks me.
The words on the photo, nothing else, are the names of the couple.
It reads:
Bai Xiaosong and Cheng Qiaofang on March 18, 1996
"Cheng Qiaofang......" I saw Bai Xiaosong in front of me for the first time, but I have an impression of the name Cheng Qiaofang.
It can't be such a coincidence, right......
I really couldn't believe my eyes.
It even feels like I'm dreaming.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Cheng Qiaofang.
I've always remembered this name and haven't forgotten it.
Because that's the name of the hostess of the note in Xueqi's baby swaddling clothes.
If all this is not a coincidence, then.
The woman in the photo is Xueqi's biological mother.
Looking at the photo on the back of the door, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and that feeling was like a detective brainstorming when doing reasoning: this haunted house was empty more than ten years ago, and Xue Qi was exactly thirteen years old; the husband and wife in this house died of illness, which happened to coincide with the information on the note that Cheng Qiaofang's husband was seriously ill; Xue Qi's mother is also a big beauty and an actress, no wonder Xue Qi has such a beautiful appearance......
It turned out that this simple and dilapidated haunted house should actually be Xueqi's home.
I'll you...... How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
If I hadn't been here in person today, I really wouldn't have believed it.
If the rumors of the haunted house that Yuezi heard from the aunt in charge of the building are true, then the original owner of this house is likely to have died a long time ago. Xueqi's parents may also be long gone.
Bai Xiaosong ...... Cheng Qiaofang ...... "Xue Qi also looked at the names on the photo and read a few words softly, but for her who didn't know anything, the two people in the photo were complete strangers to her, a strange couple.
"Qiqi, this woman above is a bit like you. Hearing Xueqi's voice, I joked.
"Hmm...... Talk nonsense. Xue Qi hit me, then pushed me and said, "Papa, let's go." ”
Under Xueqi's pushing, we still got out of the room, I gently closed the wooden door behind me, bowed softly to the wooden door, and then took Xueqi's hand and slowly walked down the stairs.
"Papa, why are you bowing to the door?"
"It's respect for the dead. Qiqi, you should also bow down. ”
"Oh. Listening to my words, Xue Qi thought for a while, then closed her eyes too, folded her hands, shook her little hands, bowed, and then opened her eyes and looked at me with big eyes.
"Alright, let's go. ”
Xue Qi went downstairs with me with a normal look, but I had mixed feelings in my heart.
Xue Qi had no idea that she was worshipping her real parents, and I wasn't going to tell her the secret.
When I went downstairs, I had already decided that in this life, I would not tell Xue Qi this secret.
Yuezi and Yuhui were waiting for us in the lobby on the first floor, and after meeting in the hall, we climbed out of the courtyard where we came. Yuezi also picked up a piece of glass from a haunted house as a souvenir.
It's just that when I climbed the wall, there was a small fork. When I climbed the wall, Yuezi said to let me pull her, but when I pulled her, a piece of glass in her hand accidentally cut the back of my hand, and red blood suddenly came out from under the skin.
"Ah, I'm sorry...... My bad. The glass slice made a small cut on the back of my hand, and Yuezi hurriedly apologized.
"It's fine, a little blood. I smiled and said it was okay, but the confinement was looking for a tissue in my pocket for me.
"When you run out of paper towels, wipe them with plastic paper first. I'm so sorry. "Yuezi embarrassedly wiped the blood on my hands with plastic paper.
"It's okay, I have paper in the car. "I looked at the wound on the back of my hand, it was about three or four centimeters long, and it was bleeding a lot, but it was not deep. "Let's go out first. ”
"I'm so sorry......" Yuezi apologized, and at my urging, turned around and climbed out of the wall. After that, me, Yuhui and Xueqi all climbed out of the wall one after another.
Although my hands hurt a little because of the injury, I still felt relieved when my feet landed outside the wall.
This trip to the haunted house has finally come to an end.
I let out a long breath, touched the small wound on the back of my hand, and looked back at the barren old house behind me, but my heart was full of melancholy.
The house has been standing silently here for more than a decade.
Its owner is long gone, but it's still here.
In this world, it is not right to say that people have things. It is the owner of the thing. People live for only a few decades, but their houses, chairs, and tables will last long after they die.
Actually, it's the owner of the thing.
The barren and breezy old house is still silent.
It's telling the story of its past.
In some dark corner, I seemed to see a resentful woman in red wandering lonely.
The woman was dressed in a red and silver Yue Opera costume, with long hair, an elegant figure, and a peerless face, and she walked silently in the dark corner, looking sad, looking up and singing in a low voice.
Singing the faint sound of opera that seems to come from the sky.
I blinked softly, and the woman in the red costume disappeared.
There was no woman in red, no singing.
The old house is still the old house, the sky is still this sky, and all that rings in my ears is the sound of rolling cicadas.
I'm still me.
I took my breath, lowered my head, looked at the blood-red wound on the back of my hand, and smiled.
This is the best proof of this memory.
……
After that, I went to the car with Xueqi and Yuezi to the car in Hudu Huayuan, and Yuezi went to the nearest supermarket to buy me a band-aid, milk and a bag of snacks.
The Band-Aid was for me, the milk was for the wild cat, and the snacks were for Xueqi.
Because he was locked in the cabinet for several days, the kitten was really hungry, and the confinement carefully filled the kitten with milk bought from the supermarket, and the kitten squinted and drank it with a clump, and drank the milk in the milk carton until it finally eased up.
"Looks like I'm really hungry. Yuezi smiled and fed the kittens, looking up at us and smiling.
And Xue Qi squatted on the side of the kitten, gently stroking the kitten's body.
"It's so soft, it's so small. Xue Qi said while petting the kitten. And Yuhui stared at the cat drinking milk with an expressionless face, stupid.
"It's still young after all, hehe. ”
Looking at the appearance of confinement breastfeeding cats, I can't help but think of the scene when I breastfed Xueqi as a baby more than ten years ago.
At that time, Xueqi was similar to this kitten, stupid, whatever I poured her, she sucked hard and drank it all.
The difference between humans and animals is really small.
After drinking half a bottle of milk, the kitten finally walked back from the brink of death, and after opening and closing its mouth a few times, it fell into a deep sleep.
"Looks like it's okay for the time being. Yuezi touched the kitten's back and said.
After that, we discussed who would adopt the cat.
Yuhui said that pets are forbidden in her apartment, and Xueqi likes kittens very much, but considering that the cat is still small, it is not suitable to hand it over to Xueqi.
"Otherwise, I'll keep it first. Since Qiqi likes it, I'll send it over when I'm weaned. ”
"That'...... I'm still bothering you. ”
"Why, I also like cats and dogs. Yuezi said with a smile.
In the end, because of the confinement words, the ownership of the kitten belonged to the confinement.
After determining the ownership, the confinement asked me to take her to the veterinary hall near the People's Hospital to check the kitten's body. I said okay, and sent Yuhui back by the way.
I first sent Yuhui back to my apartment, Yuhui came to the haunted house today, although there was nothing to gain, but at least I came out for a walk, which is much better than staying at home all day long.
Xueqi waved goodbye to Sister Yuhui, and after that, I took the confinement to the nearby hospital on Hospital Road, and the confinement said that it would be good for me to go first, and she could take care of the cat.
Then I got out of the car.
"I had a great time with my haunted house adventure today. I didn't encounter any ghosts, hehe. Yuezi got out of the car with the kitten in her arms, with a comfortable smile on her face, "Qiqi's performance today is also very brave, I didn't dare to enter the haunted house when you were so young." Yuezi didn't forget to praise Xue Qi a few words, "Then I'll go first." After that, I will take a taxi back by myself, so I won't bother you. ”
Yuezi waved her hand and motioned for us to go first.
"Okay, then let's go too. "Since the confinement doesn't bother us, let's leave first.
"Oh yes...... Dance party next Friday night...... Don't forget. ”
"How so. Yuezi smiled and said, "By the way, do you know how to dance?"
