Chapter 2: The Voice of the Dead (Part II)
"My dad's business went wrong, and then our family went to live in Southeast Asia for a few months, and when we came back, we found that the town we lived in was scorched and my grandmother was nowhere to be seen. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Didn't Grandma have a stroke?"
The three of them sat down in a nearby café, Su San and Mo Ming sat together, Ling Yu sat opposite, Su San looked at Mo Ming, and his heart was a lot more settled.
"Hey, sister, how do you know? Did your mother write to you about it? ”
"I was there at the time, my grandmother lived in the room facing the stairs, and when she went downstairs, she suddenly fainted and fell."
"Yes, yes, but at that time, ......" Ling Yu looked at Su San a little puzzled, "Sister, are you mistaken, you went to study in City Y at that time, and you were not at my house." At that time, we bought a new house in the town, and my mother was very happy, saying that the house was big and beautiful, and there was a garden, and we could pick you up for the summer vacation, but soon after moving in, we hurriedly went to Southeast Asia, leaving only my grandmother at home. The nurse wrote a letter to inform us that my grandmother had a stroke, and my parents couldn't rush back, so we could only write to ask my third cousin to help take care of her. ”
No, it's not! Not at all!
I was there when I moved, but I went back to cook when my grandmother had a stroke, how could this be!
Su San stared at Ling Yu with wide eyes, trying to see the secret hidden under this familiar face.
Ling Yu smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, which were particularly youthful and sunny: "Sister, you really can't recognize me?" ”
Su San shook his head, wanting to throw out the messy thoughts in his head, how could this be, why are the memories of the two people completely different, and the most important thing is that the aunt's family of three is not dead? Whose memory is skewed? It's mine?
Mo Ming sensed that something was wrong with Su San very sensitively, so he changed the topic and asked, "So, Mr. Ling is now working in this city?" ”
"Yes, I only came from Hong Kong in July, sister, you were all working at Shenjiang Evening News at that time."
"Hmm." Su San nodded.
"I've read the Shenjiang Evening News, and I've read the articles you wrote, but I really didn't think about it at the time, hehe, I thought it was a pen name that a reporter deliberately used."
"Oh, Mr. Ling, I don't understand a little below, so you haven't ******** Su all these years?"
Luo Yin saw that Su San was a little absent-minded, so he tentatively asked a question for her.
"Yes, when we came back, the town was in ruins, and my parents looked for my grandmother everywhere, and later I learned that my grandmother retreated with my cousin's family, and my cousin was a university teacher at National Changsha University, and had gone to Yunnan with the school before, so my parents also took me to Kunming.
"Evacuated to Yunnan?" Mo Ming was suddenly very interested in this point, "Southwest Associated University?" ”
"Yes, my cousin later taught at Southwest Associated University, and my parents sent me to Yunnan to return to Southeast Asia. Alas, in this abominable war, the land has been lost, and the relatives are also separated. Ling Yu lowered his eyes when he said this, showing a sad look, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Su San listened to his story silently, and thought silently in his heart, it seemed that everything could be over, but how could a dead person appear alive in front of him?
"Yunnan is a good place, Mr. Ling has lived there, so he must be familiar with it."
"I'm not very familiar with it, I've been living in Kunming, but now my parents bought a piece of land in the mountains of Yunnan, built a house, and planned to settle down for a long time, and the name of the house is quite interesting, called Lechuan Villa."
"Lethe River, the boundary river between Huangquan Road and Hades, on the river is the Nai He Bridge, guarded by Meng Po, how could you give such a name to the villa?" Mo Ming asked with a slight frown.
A stranger like him really shouldn't ask these questions. But now Ling Yu couldn't figure out his routine, and when he saw him appear at Su San's house, he followed him to the café, thinking that he might be Su San's boyfriend, so he smiled and replied: "My father always likes something weird, maybe to commemorate the experience of the year, some of my father's relatives were killed by Japan during the Singapore massacre, and he crawled out of the pile of dead people." ”
My uncle has relatives in Southeast Asia, and Su San knows about it. This uncle has an eldest sister who is married to a big landlord over there, and the uncle's business has a lot to do with that side.
"What about Auntie? They must have had a hard time at the time, right? Su San asked.
"Yes, my mother said that at that time, the Japanese wanted to occupy my uncle's factory, and took my uncle and father away, and then my uncle did not survive, and my father escaped death, and he named the villa Lethe, perhaps to commemorate the days of tossing and turning in the Ghost Gate, the Anti-Japanese War was finally won, and our family was reborn."
When Ling Yu said this, his face showed an excited look, slightly red, and his eyes were also shining.
During this period, Mo Ming had been observing the changes in his expression, and when he saw this, he nodded and said, "Ling Zun is also a very patriotic person." ”
"Yes, my dad is very patriotic. Sister, when can you go, Mom really misses you and hopes you can go to Lethe Mountain Villa with me. ”
"Me? Ah, I still have to pack up my things, hand over my work or something, I'll have to wait two days. ”
"Also, you girls have a lot of things to bring when you go out, so you should pack them well. Important and valuable things must be carried with you, in a big city like Shanghai, everyone has three religions and nine streams, and you can't rest assured that you can put it in an apartment. ”
Su San nodded again and again, but he felt that something was a little weird, could it be Ling Yu's chattering tone?
Ling Yu made an appointment with Su San, and set off two days later, so he happily went to the train station to book a ticket.
Su San looked at his back and let out a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong with your brother?"
Mo Ming saw that Su San was still in a trance, so he drank coffee and asked.
His answers seem to make sense, and many of his experiences can be justified, but the most critical question is ......"
Su San asked: "If I say it, you don't want me to be insane." ”
Su San urgently needs to find a listener now, preferably sensible, and can help him analyze the situation. Luo Yin is not here, this inexplicably **** colonel, or a military commander, should have a lot of experience, maybe he can help a little.
"Haha, I haven't seen anyone, so just say it."
"The most important thing is that in my memory, my aunt's family is dead. And the last time that regret medicine ......"
"What regret pills?"
"Oh, it's just a spell, well, you don't need to know this, it's my secret."
"Well, young ladies have a little secret, you go on."
"That regret pill I don't think it's possible for me to go back in time and mend the past, so what's going on with this cousin? How can the dead be raised? I received a letter from my dead aunt this morning, a call from my dead cousin, and now I've been talking to my cousin for so long! God, I feel like I'm going crazy. Su San grabbed his hair, "What's even crazier is that I actually agreed to go to the hellish Lethe Mountain Villa with him!" My brain must be broken, how could I say yes! ”
Su San was annoyed.
Mo Ming laughed: "Maybe you're mistaken?" ”
"Inexplicable, I found out that you are really inexplicable, how can I be mistaken, it is the life and death of a family!"
Su San glared at him, seeing that his eyes had a deep meaning, Su San suddenly thought that he had asked so carefully just now, Mo Ming was not a nosy person, did he have any purpose?
Su San planned to deceive.
"You know Lethe Villa, don't you?"
Mo Ming shrugged: "Yes, I know that place, and besides, I also know that that place can't be an ordinary place." ”
"Isn't that dangerous then?"
"Yes, if you go by yourself, it will definitely be dangerous, Lethe, that's a ghost gate." Mo Ming looked out the window and said meaningfully.
