Chapter 178: Knocking on the door in the middle of the night
It was as if my feet had taken root, and I couldn't move, and after a while, I turned around mechanically and asked in a tone that sounded like I was trembling, "You mean that...... She...... She can't speak? ”
When Mr. Li saw my panicked expression, he should have understood a little in his heart, and the horror in his eyes dimmed a little, and finally sat back on the carved wooden chair and beckoned to me.
"Miss Wu, if most of what I said before was for livelihood, then I hope you can listen to the next words. My mother was also a fortune teller when she was young, but for some reason, not long after I took over the business, her eyes and throat began to deteriorate little by little. ”
Mr. Li's voice was not loud, but every word fell into my heart.
"My mother's fortune calculation is very effective, someone said before that she is yin and yang, and she can see things that others can't see. I don't know if it's true or not, until she is blind and dumb, I don't believe that what she has seen is so unusual that God doesn't want her to sue the world anymore. This is called leaking the heavenly machine. ”
I hummed symbolically, my mind racing.
"Miss Wu, the catastrophe on you is not something that ordinary people can bear, nor can ordinary people resolve, the best way is to stay away from those things from now on, don't care about anything, the farther away the better."
When he said the words "those things", his voice was deliberately low, and his eyes looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, with a bit of longing and hope.
"And what if there's no way to escape?" I couldn't help but ask.
He sighed and smiled wryly, as if he had expected me to say that.
"The things on your body are like a net, entangled in your life, entangled in your qiē, it has been prepared for a long time, waiting for you to drill into it. But just find the lead thread, cut it, and it's over. ”
I'd like to ask again. But he was already shaking his head. I realized that I had been arranged for a business trip, taken to the night market, and led to such a place, all of which seemed to be predestined. I'm away from that knot. It's getting closer.
Before leaving, Mr. Li personally saw me off. Just as I was leaving the back room, I suddenly turned around.
"Can you help me look it up?"
He was stunned for a moment, but smiled politely.
I don't know how I got back to the hotel, I just feel light. The feet are as unsteady as stepping on cotton. I've felt this way many times, but every time I repeat it, it feels very unreal.
How could he have died?
I sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, thinking about the tears that began to flow from my eyes. I immediately reached out and wiped it indiscriminately, turned my head down and stared at the satchel on my body, and after thinking twice, I pulled it away.
It contained the things I had just taken with me when I left out - a bunch of keys from me and a bracelet left by the crane. In the corner of the inconspicuous bag, there is also a yellow note in a clump of balls.
I tried to take my eyes off the note, but I couldn't, so I grabbed it and spread it out in my palm again.
I still think about Mr. Li's words in my ears.
"I'll write it down for you. If one day God punishes me for divulging my secrets, then I'd rather break my arm. ”
When I heard this sentence at the time, I thought it was a little funny, and I didn't think much about it when I took the note, and I didn't think about the meaning of Mr. Li asking me to go back to my residence and take it out again, so I couldn't help but spread the note on the road.
There is no half a sentence of nonsense, just two words on the note.
Dead.
On the keychain was Qin Chuyi's CPU, and the beads fell from the robe that the crane had changed. The beads are white and shiny, with a slight green light, and there is almost no flocculent in them, which is very translucent and moist. I looked at the beads. I always felt a little familiar, but I couldn't talk about it, so I had to put it away for him.
I wanted to ask Tsuru at the time, but I was interrupted by other things. I carried it with me for fear of losing it, until now when I really remember to ask, someone said that he was dead.
How could it be. He's a weird old man who lives forever, and he hasn't been called to the police for 24 hours. Usually he is also elusive and chattering, but this time he may go somewhere to get away again, but he is here to shed tears for him.
But think about it. He ate mermaid meat to have this practice, if he returned to the world and let others remember it, and he was eaten, wouldn't he be able to live forever.
Thinking of this, I felt that my body temperature had dropped to freezing, and the exhaled breath in my nose shivered.
Next is Qin Chuyi, he obviously followed Fiona, he obviously left this mushy thing to enjoy life, right under my nose, how could he suddenly die.
How could it be.
I squeezed the note in my palm again, as if I pushed harder, none of this could happen. I don't know what to do now, call home to ask about the situation of the Qin family? Or do you pretend that nothing happened, continue to attend the party, and live a normal life?
My body was so exhausted that I felt like I had been hollowed out from top to bottom, and a pair of thin white arms stretched out from the double bed behind me, pulling me into the abyss. In a trance, I felt something in the abyss pounding on my head, preventing me from continuing to fall.
"Bang bang bang!"
It's a knock on the door!
My body shook violently, and I woke up from my trance. I don't know where to start, a lot of cold sweat oozed from my forehead, the tears in the corners of my eyes have dried, and I can't open my eyes by sticking to the skin, and I actually fell asleep on the bed just now.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously and subconsciously looked at the time on my phone, it was already past twelve o'clock.
"Bang bang bang!"
This time, my sleepy bugs were chased away by the knock. The sound was not very loud, but it looked like a child's immature little hands were hammering the door of the guest room, which seemed to be lacking in strength and disorganized.
When I heard such a knock in the middle of the night, my heart was a little hairy, and I sat on the bed and didn't dare to go down and open the door.
No, could it be that the crane is back?
I twisted my thigh, it hurt so badly, I rushed to the door and opened the door.
"Crane!" As I opened the door, I shouted at the door, my eyes blankly scanning the aisle in front of me.
However, the aisle in front of me was quiet, echoing my voice, and there was no one.
My heart sank, this is not a crane, who is the person who just knocked on the door? Did you knock on the wrong door? Immediately afterward, a huge sense of loss came over me, and I thought of the sentence that Mr. Li had written on the note.
That's when something pulled my pant leg. I suddenly remembered that the knock on the door sounded like a child, and my heart was suddenly startled, and my frozen body slowly looked down. (To be continued.) )
PS: It's March, time is still passing quickly, I suddenly returned to school from the probationary point, and the time suddenly became insufficient. It's a shame to think about it.,It's such a good February.,It's the first time I've broken off the shelf.,All of a sudden, there's a lot less collection and clicks.,It's heartbreaking to think about.。 Because I was facing the final study, as well as the next internship and the marriage that had been written into the plan, it took up my already small time, and I suddenly became in a hurry.
But since you're working hard for what you like, you'll stick to it. Whether it's this book or a new book that is about to be published, I will work harder~
