Chapter Seventy-Six: The Man in the Mirror
"Moy?"
I stopped the chase and held my phone blankly, until the oncoming electric car honked at me and I came to my senses and stepped out of the non-motorized lane.
"I know, I'll come here."
At this moment, to find Song Qiulan from the vast sea of people is simply an impossible task. Since Qiulan was so reckless to chase Zhao Cheng, she must have a reason, it was impossible for her to give up so many years when the ban had just been lifted to do something that she was not sure of. So what I'm going to do now is to pick up another clue, the mysterious man who just came to life from Qiulan's mouth, called Moy.
The address given by Qin Chuyi is not in the urban area, but in the east of Linghu District, near N University, bordering the new urban area. I hurriedly stopped a taxi and rushed to where he was.
This time I arrived first, and when he came, he saw me sitting in the gazebo like a puppet. The sun's rays that changed the direct angle were hitting half of my face at the moment, and I didn't care about it until Qin Chuyi came over and blocked that part of the light.
"It's going to tan," he said jokingly, "and you don't want to be a fat white man?" ”
One of my eyes was visible clearly because of half of the sun's rays, and the other was temporarily blind. I slowly closed it and opened it again, and Qin Chuyi's shiny white face in front of me looked slightly green, pulsating rhythmically.
Damn, why can't this man get a tan.
He saw that I ignored him, pouted and sat down next to me.
"What, isn't the family in a hurry? You have the heart to sit here and pass the time. I asked.
"It's really not busy," he put his hands behind his head, and suddenly the whole person leaned back, lying on my lap, and seemed to enjoy it with his eyes closed, "It's not people who are in trouble this time, it's things, even if it is related to people, it's a person who has been dead for many years." ”
I didn't answer his words. Look into the distance.
The reason why Linghu District is called Linghu District is because there is a huge lake here, and the name is Linghu Lake. When humans are unable to fully understand all the unknowns, they will derive many explanations that go beyond nature. Because of this. Linghu has also given birth to many treacherous legends, strange tales and stories.
But the Spirit Lake is still undisturbed, allowing human beings to talk about such and such earth-shattering stories, still flowing through wind and rain, living quietly as a lake simply and diligently.
But man cannot be quiet because of its quietness, even. The quieter it is, the angrier humanity becomes.
As a result, this place has been developed and mined everywhere, as if it is shouting at Linghu, "Roll!" Waves! Why are you so calm! ”
Today, there is not much left of the natural beauty of this area, and the Linghu Lake is still the Linghu.
The same spirit, but the difference is so great.
"Hey!" Qin Chuyi said suddenly, and the voice came from below, startling me. "What are you doing in a daze?"
“…… No, I look at the view. ”
The qiē just now was all my imagination, because in my place, I couldn't see the Spirit Lake at all. It has been overwhelmed by tall buildings.
The place where we are located is a community developed by the name of Linghu Lake, and it has just been built, and it is urgently sold, and the slogan "Linghu Lake, Health Place, Nobleman's Choice" is written all around. It became an excuse for aggression by people who migrated from the city.
He looked at the time, got up and patted me, it's time to go, the family should be back.
This is a story about mirrors. The man named Moy. is the protagonist of this story. The family lives in this Linghu community and is busy with work and family. Then one day, they came back with a mirror from their hometown, which was very chic, although it was old, but it had a retro flavor. So the family took the mirror home and hung it inside. Afterwards. Then something unexpected happened. It was at this time that they found Qin Chuyi's post and found us.
Coincidentally, I was also looking for this person named Moy. It's just that incredible.
"Hello, hello, I'm really sorry for the trouble, our home is so far away from the city, please come over. When you go back, I'll reimburse you for the fare. ”
The host politely made us tea and sat across from us. The man's hair was a little long, and after being casually scratched with the shaped wax, it lay on the door of his head in a natural and comfortable shape. His face was thin, slightly longer, with thick eyebrows pressing down on his eyes, and a high nose bridge, which should have some European ancestry. Unlike the thin lips of the cherry blossom petals on the top, the lower lip is slightly plump, and the lips are open and closed, talking to us. The skin is neither white nor black, and it is just right healthy.
He is a very attractive man.
How could such an outstanding person be Moy, who is doing secret work and presiding over mysterious things? I was a little unconvinced.
"Moy......?" I suddenly opened my mouth and shouted.
Everyone's eyes were on me. Because they were talking happily, they were cut off by my sudden voice, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"Huh? Haha, this young lady is ......" The man was stunned for a moment and asked.
"My assistant," Qin Chuyi answered immediately, he saw that something was wrong with me, "she is a psychic physique, if there is anything unusual in your house, she will react immediately." As you know, psychic people are easily possessed. ”
As soon as he had said this, the man and the lady sitting beside him looked at me with awe, as if I had appeared like a divine aid.
"Miss Assistant, have you seen my picture?" He said suddenly, seeing that I was stunned and didn't speak, and added, "I went to audition for a new movie, and I used Moy's name, and I thought this young lady had seen my picture, so she was calling me." ”
Disappointed. The sensation immediately flooded my whole body. The reason why I came here was because of the name Moy, and it turned out that this name was just a random code name for the man in front of him.
"Mr. Dong is so handsome, there must be no problem with the audition." Qin Chuyi immediately said. If he hadn't continued the conversation like this, I think I would have been kicked out as a psychopath.
"Haha, I'll borrow your auspicious words." He smiled, with a good-looking smile on his thin face, if I didn't have something on my mind, I would definitely ask this Mr. Dong for an autograph, and he would definitely be popular in the future.
Sure enough, this person was not Moy. I suddenly felt so stupid, if Moi really lived to this point, then at least he would have to be over the age of six, and the man in front of me was at most thirty years old, it was impossible.
"Speaking of the name Moy, it actually came from my wife." He spoke suddenly.
"How so?" I'm interested.
When his wife saw my reaction, he said, "The name Moi came from my grandfather's diary, and Jia Jun thought it was chic, so he used it as his stage name." ”
"Is this diary of your grandfather still there?" I'm a little anxious.
She looked surprised and said, "The diary is long gone, and there is only a cover left, and the name is written on the cover." Miss Assistant, you are so good, that mirror we are going to ask you for is from my grandfather's house. ”
"Do you know what your grandfather did when he died?" I pressed on.
She should have completely believed Qin Chuyi's nonsense, and she must have thought that I was a 100% psychic, and immediately answered my question.
"My grandfather was indeed a strange person, he was often away from home, and his work was kept secret from the family, only that he said that he was from the Municipal Bureau of Culture. My grandmother had lost her temper because he was often away from home, but for the sake of his good salary, she didn't care much about it after a long time. However, he died very early, and I didn't have much contact with me, so my impression was even more vague. By the way, this must have something to do with my grandfather! I mean, the guy in the mirror looks like him! ”
I can't continue to ask, I haven't done anything, I'm just digging people's houses here. Qin Chuyi also reacted and immediately asked them about the mirror.
Here's the thing. After Mrs. Dong's grandmother died, the hometown was transferred to Mrs. Dong's name. After discussion, the husband and wife decided to clean up the old house and rent it out, which can be regarded as an extra income. So a few weeks ago, the two went back to their hometown together.
The old lady lived alone in a large house, and the already small number of things set off the emptiness of the house. The two cleaned up quickly, cleaned the old house in a few hours, and as long as it was renovated in a short time, it could be rented out. Just before Mrs. Dong left, when she checked the house for the last time, she found this mirror.
This mirror is not in the old lady's room, but in the side room next to it. It is said that this side room used to be my grandfather's room, and because he was away from home for many years, the old lady evicted him and his belongings from the master bedroom.
The mirror lies on the east side of the bed, facing west. It was covered with a dark red velvet cloth, which was easily overlooked in a piece of wooden furniture, so it was not discovered until the last inspection. Mrs. Dong casually tore off the dark red flannel covering it, and a mirror as smooth as new appeared in front of her.
The mirror is oval-shaped, decorated with button-like patterns on the outside, and dotted with a few jade stones scattered in emerald green and dark red. Turning over the back, the pattern is even more eye-catching, with a blooming relief flower with long stems and narrow leaves carved into it, and the petals are clustered and dense, which is exquisite. Coupled with the emerald green and dark red jade that were also embellished, Mrs. Dong's first reaction was that this thing must be of great value, and it was not sure what kind of antique it was.
Mrs. Dong, who originally just wanted to rent out the house, quickly called Mr. Dong to move the mirror home. They originally wanted to hang it on the wall of the bathroom, but they were afraid that it would fall and cause any damage, so they finally decided to install it on the dresser in the bedroom.
There was no problem at first, and with this mirror, the taste grade of the family has also improved a lot. But gradually, Mrs. Dong felt that this mirror was a bit evil.
"I often feel like there's someone in the mirror." As if she was afraid of being known by others, Mrs. Dong lowered her voice and said secretly. (To be continued.) )
