Mu Lian was really confused, she didn't understand what the old man was talking about. What twenty-five, what an allegory. She was really inexplicable, and seeing that the old man seemed to be very excited, she didn't know what he was excited about.

"Grandpa, you're okay." Mu Lian asked.

The old man came back to his senses and shook his head. "It's okay, it's okay. You girl, it may be providence to come here, but I didn't expect you to bring me good news. ”

Mu Lian really didn't understand what the old man was talking about, but she didn't bother to ask. If you don't understand something, you won't understand it even if you ask it again. So, she didn't ask at all. Waiting here with peace of mind for Tang Shuai to come to her.

"Grandpa, just now you said you knew the legend here. Is that legend true? Is there really that magic mirror? Mu Lian asked. In contrast, she was more concerned about the illusionary mirror. Because she wanted to help Tang Shuai, she didn't care about anything else.

"I don't know if it's true, but girl, you tell me that you want to get the mirror, is it to help your sweetheart or to make it happen to you." The old man asked.

"Of course, it's to help handsome guys, as long as I find the mirror, my wish will come true. My wish is to be able to help the handsome guy and not hold him back. Mu Lian said.

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "Maybe the legend is true." But I've heard that I want to get that mirror. Not only must you have a pure and kind heart, but also have the courage and the heart to think about others. I think you're so timid, you don't have much courage. ”

After hearing this, Mu Lian was a little unconvinced. But she felt that what the old man said was not wrong, she was so timid, how could she talk about courage. Could it be that it is really impossible for him to find that mirror, and it will really only hold Tang Shuai back. Thinking of this, Mu Lian's expression was a little gloomy.

"Maybe I'll really just make trouble for him, if he continues like this, he'll hate me, what should I do." Mu Lian said to herself.

"Girl, I don't know your name yet."

"Oh, my name is Mulian."

"Mulian." The old man smiled. "Nice name. It's not early, you go to bed early. ”

"Hmm." Mu Lian nodded.

Mu Lian walked to the side of the bed and lay down. At this time, the old man came over with a thin quilt. In such cold weather, such a thin coat does not play a big role. But the strange thing is that when the old man helped Mu Lian cover it, she felt that her whole person became warmer. Slowly, slowly, she fell asleep.

When Mu Lian woke up, it was already the second day. When she opened her eyes, she found a fragrant meal on the table. And the old man sat at the table, looking at her with a smile. However, this old man looks terrifying, and when he laughs, it gives people an eerie feeling. But Mu Lian knew that he was a good person.

"Girl, hurry up and eat."

"Thank you, grandpa." Yesterday this girl just didn't eat for a day. Now her stomach is too hungry to eat, and her eyes light up when she sees food. After getting out of bed, I sat down at the table and ate unceremoniously. But halfway through eating, she found that the old man had not eaten at all.

"Grandpa, won't you eat it?"

"You eat it, I've eaten it."

"Well, thank you, grandpa."

After eating and drinking, Mu Lian sat on the chair and touched her belly. "It's so full, grandpa, the food you cooked is delicious."

"It's good if you like it, it's already dawn, do you want to leave?"

"Oh, but the handsome guy hasn't found me yet. But I can't let him worry, grandpa, thank you for your hospitality. I'll go first, goodbye. ”

"Goodbye." The old man said with a smile.

Mu Lian left, and when she walked out of the room, she saw this cemetery. Even during the day, this cemetery feels deep and terrifying. Forget it, let's get out of here early, it's scary.

The old man stood outside the house, looking at Mu Lian's back as she left, and said with a smile: "I'll see you again." ”

Mu Lian wanted to find it back, but after leaving the cemetery, she still didn't know how to go. Look at your phone, it's already out of battery and automatically turned off. She anticipated the direction she was coming from, and went on her way. This walk is a day. After dark, Mu Lian was really going to cry. Myself, how did I walk back to this cemetery again?

She hurried to the front of the hut, where the lights were on, and she breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandpa, are you there, grandpa?"

The door opened, and it was the old man who opened it. After seeing Mu Lian, he was not surprised at all, but asked with a smile, "Why did you come back again?" ”

Mu Lian lowered her head, a little embarrassed. "I'm lost again." In fact, Mu Lian didn't know what was going on. When she came out of the cemetery during the day, she kept walking in the direction she came from. It should have been farther and farther away from this cemetery, but before I knew it, I had returned to this cemetery.

"In that case, why don't you just wait for the little one to pick you up. It just so happens that my old man has been here alone for so many years, and he usually only speaks to the tombstone. You talk to me here, and the little one will find it here when the time comes. The old man said.

Mu Lian thought about it, and it seemed that there was no other way. I can't find anyone to go back after leaving, and I can't contact Tang Shuai. If you keep walking, you don't know what the danger is. In that case, it's better to stay here.

And Mu Lian is very pitiful when she sees this old man alone, staying here for the time being, taking care of him, and repaying him for taking him in. Otherwise, if she was alone outside, Tang Shuai would never be able to find her, and she would freeze to death if she starved to death.

In this way, Mu Lian stayed here. Time passed day by day, and half a month passed. Tang Shuai didn't find it either, although Mu Lian wanted to go back, but halfway she said goodbye to the old man and wanted to find it herself. But in the evening, she unconsciously returned to the place.

She felt like she was walking in a big circle.

This morning, Mu Lian was sweeping the tombstone.

The old man walked to Mu Lian's side. "Girl, my old friends are very grateful to you. Ever since you came, you've cleaned their tombstones every day. ”

"I have to thank you, grandpa, if you don't let me stay here, I might starve to death or freeze to death. I'm here to eat and drink for nothing, and I'll be happy if I don't do something. I didn't have anything else to do other than clean the tombstones. Mu Lian said.

"Girl, can I ask you something?"

"Grandpa, you say."

"Follow me."

The old man took Mu Lian and walked into a dark cave. Torches burned around the cave, but when she reached the center of the cave, Mu Lian's face turned pale with fright. Because it's all coffins, at least the upper ones. Although Mu Lian lives in the cemetery these days and usually cleans the tombstones, her courage is not so small. But suddenly seeing so many coffins inside, maybe there was still inside, Mu Lian's scalp couldn't help tingling.

"Grandpa, what kind of place is this?"

"Where my buddies really stay, you come here." The old man brought Mu Lian to a coffin. "I don't have much time, I'm dead, and I want you to bury me in this coffin."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"I said, I'm running out of time."

"No, it won't."

"Yes."

"But, but......" Mu Lian lowered her head, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

"But you're scared, aren't you?" The old man laughed.

Mu Lian nodded, but the old man said to her heart. If this old man really died, there would be no problem with Mu Lian burying him. But she really didn't dare to come to such a gloomy cave with a corpse alone.

"Do you think I'm going to hurt you?" The old man asked.

"No, it won't." Mu Lian shook her head.

"That's right, I won't hurt you. Even if my old man dies, he will only bless you. And my friends, you help them clean their tombstones every day, and they are very grateful to you. It will only bless you, not harm you. Now, are you still scared? Remember, be courageous. The old man said.

After hearing this, Mu Lian hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Alright, let's go out, and don't disturb their rest. When I come in the next time, that's when I die. ”

For the old man's words, Mu Lian probably didn't care too much. After all, she felt that although this old man looked very old, his body seemed to be very tough. It's too early to say dead. At that time, I won't necessarily be here. But in the future, you can let someone accompany her, anyway, Mu Lian wrote down the matter of burying the old man.

Time flies, and Mu Lian has been in this cemetery for a month. He had given up on finding her way back, because she couldn't get out of the cemetery. No matter how you go, you have to come back here eventually. So, she gave up, she waited for Tang Shuai to come to her.

"Grandpa, grandpa." This morning, Mu Lian got up. Today was a little different from usual, when she used to wake up, there was a fragrant breakfast on the table. But today, there is nothing. The old man lay on the table, motionless.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you." After Mu Lian got out of bed, she gently pushed the old man. But the old man was motionless, and his body was cold.

At this time, Mu Lian was so frightened that she sat on the ground. "Grandpa, grandpa. No, it won't, it's dead. For a while, Mu Lian's scalp was numb. She was so frightened that she stood up and ran away. But when she ran out of the cemetery, she remembered what the old man had said to her.

"Grandpa won't hurt me, right. He won't, I promised him that I would bury him in the cave, and I can't break my promise, yes, Mu Lian don't be afraid, courage, courage, can't be afraid, it's okay, it's not going to be," Mu Lian self-hypnotized while returning to the cemetery,
