Chapter 174: Let's Go Together
As soon as he finished speaking, I suddenly felt the wall in front of me start to shake. I subconsciously took a step back, staring nervously at the wall in front of me, my pupils widening little by little until a subtle change suddenly began to appear on it.
At this point, the whole wall seemed to be human skin, and I could feel the unknown fear hidden under its soft touch, and the tiny pores began to gradually ooze fine liquid, dark red, viscous liquid slowly flowing out of the wall. Gradually, the blood began to spread, until finally the outline of a man appeared.
However, the silhouette of this man looks a little odd, making it seem that he is almost struggling in the walls. I suddenly felt my scalp tingle, and my whole body trembled unconsciously.
A soul imprisoned in a wall. This was my first feeling.
Before I could react, a pair of bloody hands burst out of the wall, barely half a centimeter from the tip of my nose. I froze for a moment, my mind went blank, and after a few seconds, I let out a heart-rending scream and ducked behind the crane.
"Ah!! What the hell!!! ”
"Ha, you're right this time." Tsuru seemed very happy to see me so frightened, and his tone sounded very joking.
I saw that he was not afraid at all, and then I slowly poked my head out. The thing in the wall had come out completely, it was a skeleton with a little skin and flesh, dark red blood had stuck to the skeleton, and the whole face was no longer distinguishable.
I looked at it and lowered my head, my heart beating inexplicably faster. I didn't expect that the "Ling Chi Execution" that often appears in TV series would appear alive in front of me.
"Yes...... Can you let him go......" I whispered in the crane's ear, so low that I could barely hear myself.
"Don't be so afraid, although he was executed by Ling Chi, he is not a bad person."
I don't know if it's my own delusion, but for another moment I actually felt the bloody man in front of me tremble, as if the words of the crane touched his heartstrings.
"He was retaliated against, and he was also a big official when he was alive. You don't know, although there are many capital punishments like Ling Chi, it is rare to be executed to the end. Ordinary prisoners are tortured by a knife. Whether it is pain or bleeding, it will go into shock in advance, and then the executioner will stop. However, his enemies bribed the executioner, so that he died without a full body. That's why you see what it's like now. ”
After saying this, Crane slowly raised his head, looked at the bloody man in front of him, and said quietly: "I'll give you a chance, a hundred years later." Is it okay for you to reincarnate and forget all the pain? ”
The bloody man's head moved up and down a few times, and he agreed. A smile appeared at the corner of the crane's mouth, and I saw that his hand seemed to twitch a few times, and the bloody man became a dark red cloud, slowly clinging to the white bones at the crane's feet. Suddenly, the white bone became a dark red powder, fused with the other ashes.
I stared blankly at the dry bones in front of me, speechless in astonishment, until half an hour later, when I spoke. The voice sounded hoarse: "Is every one of them like this......
"What, sad?" Crane smiled and continued to start the movements in his hands, and the creaking voice sounded rhythmically, "Life is like this, chasing fame and fortune before death, and having nothing after death, the soul left behind is just to comfort yourself." ”
At this moment, I felt as if I was still in Jianyang Village with Crane. It was a place that made me instantly understand the impermanence of life and death, and I was carefree. If one day I die, I hope to be led there by a crane. Still, Tsuru can say that. Apparently what he had experienced, including his last unusual behavior.
"You ......" Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly heard someone knocking at the door.
Crane tilted his head to look at me, and I sighed and stood up. "You put things away, don't let people see these ashes, it's scary."
"Is it Miss Wu?" I opened the door. Dressed in a familiar outfit made it easy for me to guess his profession. "Here's a copy of your expedited mail, please sign for it."
I completed a series of actions under his instructions in a daze, and finally tore open the express with a thud, and two light sheets of paper shook out of it and fell to the ground.
It was a plane ticket, which was sent by Li Mobai.
Almost at the same time, I received a text message from him. The text message said that he was in a hurry and couldn't accompany me to the awards party, so he asked me to go out with Qin Chuyi.
When I saw Qin Chuyi's three words, I smiled bitterly a few times and walked into the room with my ticket.
Sister Zui is deceiving again, and she can ask for leave.
"Hey, little girl, what's the good thing in your hand?"
"Huh? Feed! "The crane that was still grinding bones in front of me just now suddenly appeared behind me and snatched the ticket from my hand." Hey, give it back to me! Not for you! ”
The crane, which usually makes me feel less tall, suddenly has a height advantage, and no matter how much I jump up and catch him, I can't snatch the ticket back.
He flipped the ticket in his hand back and forth, raised his eyebrows, and pouted and asked, "Tsk, what is this?" ”
"If you don't understand, give it back to me, it's not for you." I said anxiously.
"But I know this thing must be for you and your sweetheart." Crane Road.
I stopped what I was doing, and my whole body froze in the air.
"What sweetheart, what do you know."
"Even if you're not a sweetheart, you're definitely an important person." Tsuru said, placing the ticket in my hand, "What about the others?" ”
I didn't reply, and looked indifferently at the ticket in front of me.
"He left without a word and never came to you again, didn't he?"
“……”
"Girl, sometimes you have to understand that I'm not really indifferent, but I see the world clearly." Tsuru sighed, "If he really doesn't care about you, you don't have to worry about it in your heart, and ...... go on like this."
"You come with me."
"Huh?"
"You come with me to a meeting in Province S, okay?"
Tsuru obviously didn't expect me to say that, and he rubbed his head wildly, looking a little embarrassed. "Well, let's go together, it's not impossible, it's just ......"
"Just what?" At this moment, I actually regretted what I blurted out a little bit. He knew that these two tickets were for me and Qin Chuyi, and he was also clear about Xiao Jiujiu between us, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he agreed to this kind of scene. I began to pray in my heart that he would come up with all sorts of reasons to reject me.
"But can I make the lantern first?"
"......" (To be continued.) )
