"Also, as compensation, I will accompany you well!"

Seeing the last sentence of Mai Xiaorou's message, I couldn't help but think of the amorous manner she showed in front of me. 1om

I kind of miss that feeling.

I shook my head vigorously, and said in my heart, Mai Xiaorou is no longer human, and I can't think about her anymore, otherwise I will die.

Seeing that I didn't reply to the message for a while, Mai Xiaorou came to her side and said, "Chen Yu, didn't you say that you like me, are you all lying to me?" ”

I looked at the phone screen, still didn't reply to the message, and asked myself, after getting along with Mai Xiaorou these days, I can't be unmoved, although I often suspect that she is not a good woman, but I continue to deny those bad speculations from my heart.

There are also scenes when I was in high school, when I was with Mai Xiaorou, and there was a space she prepared for me alone, so I liked her, and I liked it from the bottom of my heart.

But now that she's dead, and she's borrowed my life for thirty years for no reason, I don't have the guts to like her.

Thinking of this, I replied directly: "I don't dare to like you, it's not that I don't like you!" ”

"You're afraid of me?"

"Yes, because you're dead!"

After chatting with Mai Xiaorou for a while, I've already let go, anyway, I've lost my life for thirty years, and I don't care about the remaining half a year, I have to say everything I want to say today, and ask everything I want to ask.

Mai Xiaorou waited about a minute before replying to me: "That's right, I'm dead, but I really didn't harm you, I borrowed your life, it's all for your good, as for the specific why, I can't tell you, you know too much, it's not good for you." ”

"Why?"

"Chen Yu, don't ask why, please, okay!"

Mai Xiaorou begged me?

Seeing such words, I don't feel the slightest fear of Mai Xiaorou, she has the ability to borrow my thirty years of life, so wouldn't it be easy to take my life, if you want to harm me, why bother to beg me now?

Could it be that it is for my own good, as she said?

But I can't figure it out, borrowing my life is for my own good.

Seeing Mai Xiaorou's begging words, I suddenly softened my heart, and then remembered that Zhang Xia told me that Mai Xiaorou was lying on the hospital bed waiting for death, and my soft-heartedness turned into sympathy and pity.

I typed back, "Okay, I won't ask, but will you really pay me back if you borrow my life?" ”

Mai Xiaorou replied: "Really! But you're going to come to me. ”

"Good!"

I finally agreed, and maybe that was my fate.

Mai Xiaorou didn't talk to me too much, so she asked me to go to bed early.

The next day happened to be the weekend, and when I got up early in the morning, I packed my things and prepared to go to Mai Xiaorou's hometown.

I said go home and see, he patted me on the shoulder and said: "Chen Yu, your mental state has been really bad recently, I once thought that you had depression, it would be good to go home and live for a day, if there is anything to think about, let alone a broken love or something, don't you see my buddy I'm single now, I don't even have a partner's hair." ”

Ever since I broke off contact with Mai Xiaorou, Zhang Jianlong has felt that all my abnormal behaviors are caused by broken love.

I didn't explain much to Zhang Jianlong, patted him on the shoulder, and thanked him for his concern.

It only takes half a day's drive from the provincial capital to Mai Xiaorou's hometown, but it takes three times to get to Mai Xiaorou's village.

This village is not remote, and there is a provincial road passing by here, but Mai Xiaorou's home is a little remote in the village, at the west end of the village, which is the old village area, which is far away by the road.

Now most people have built new houses in the east of the village near the road, and most of the houses in the old house area are vacant, except for a few elderly families.

And Mai Xiaorou's home is in this area.

I walked to the west of the village with my bag, the weather was not good today, a little gloomy, and when I walked to the old house area in the west of the village, the sky was drifting with a continuous autumn rain.

The rain was very thin, like mist.

I relied on my memory to find Mai Xiaorou's house, and after walking a few streets, I finally saw the dilapidated black lacquered wooden door, which was hidden.

"Grandpa Mai" I thought about it for a while and called Grandpa Mai's name, after all, Mai Xiaorou is dead, if you call Mai Xiaorou's name here, it will be too attention-grabbing, although there are no people in this old housing area anymore.

The rain hit my cheeks, making me feel an indescribable coldness.

I didn't hear anyone answer, so I gently pushed open the wooden door and shouted into the courtyard again: "Grandpa Mai, are you at home?" I'm Chen Yu."

In fact, I wanted to say later that I came to find Mai Xiaorou, but when the words came to my mouth, I still swallowed back.

Still no one answered, I looked a few times in the yard, there were many sycamore leaves piled up on the ground, it was already autumn, and this yard was more autumnal.

"Squeak"

The wooden door of an old house opened, and Grandpa Mai walked out with a crisp face, is this still the Grandpa Mai I saw more than a month ago, he seems to be much older.

"It's coming!" Grandpa Mai said weakly.

I asked Grandpa Mai if he was sick, and Grandpa Mai said, "I'm not sick, but I don't have enough qi and blood, and I've done a few Dharma rituals in a row recently, and I'm tired!" ”

Grandpa Mai is a famous yin and yang in ten miles and eight towns, and he will basically find him to handle the white things nearby, so I didn't think much about it, and asked directly: "Is Xiaorou here?" ”

When I asked this, I kept my voice low as if I was the only one who could hear it.

Grandpa Mai pointed to a room with closed doors and windows to the north and said, "Xiaorou can't see anyone during the day, if you want to see her, stay here until night, if you're afraid, leave by yourself." ”

I looked at the room and said, "Since I'm here, I'm ready to do it, I'll stay here and wait for Xiaorou to wake up." ”

Grandpa Mak led me into his room, which was full of old furniture similar to when I was in high school.

After a while, a burst of tea fragrance wafted in, and I turned my head to see that Grandpa Mai was boiling tea with boiling water.

I asked what kind of tea it was, and Grandpa Mai said while making tea: "This is a medicinal tea that replenishes qi, and it can't be bought on the market. ”

Grandpa Mai made two cups of tea, handed one of them to me and said, "You haven't rested well these days, and you haven't had a reasonable diet, and the qi and veins in your body have begun to become chaotic. ”

Indeed, these days I have been in a mess, and my life and learning have become a mess.

After taking Grandpa Mai's tea, I said "thank you", and I couldn't wait to drink the cup of tea, and I didn't care if the tea was still hot.

A cup of tea is refreshing, and the body is also warm.

I feel like I'm already "addicted" to this tea.

Grandpa Mai is not like me, he picked up the teacup and tasted it one by one, and he drank each sip very carefully, for fear of spilling half a drop.

Grandpa Mai didn't speak, I sat on the wooden chair and didn't make a sound, and after a while, I couldn't help it, and asked, "Grandpa Mai, what's going on with Xiaorou." ”

Grandpa Mai took a sip of tea, then squinted his eyes and thought deeply for a while: "This matter is now, I don't need to hide it from you, she is dead, and when she was involved in a case with me half a year ago, she was bitten by a powerful ancient corpse and was poisoned by the corpse." ”

Case? I was a little puzzled, and Grandpa Mai explained: "I am the yin and yang in the neighborhood, in addition to helping people do white things, I will also take on some work to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, which are collectively referred to as cases in my place." ”

"Xiao Rou also knows how to spell?" I couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, she has been learning from me since she was a child, she is very smart and a fast learner."

In this way, she was all pretending to be scared when she listened to me tell ghost stories in high school.

I asked Grandpa Mai again, are there really zombies and ghosts in this world?

Grandpa Mai said: "If you believe, you will have, if you don't believe, you will not, I believe!" ”

I continued to ask, "Is that Xiaorou really dead?" ”

Grandpa Mai said: "As a human being, Xiao Rou is indeed dead, as a 'corpse', she is alive and well, but the corpse poison in Xiao Rou is too powerful, after the corpse changes, she can't control her body at all, and before she gets out of control, she uses magic to imprison her natal soul." ”

I didn't understand what Grandpa Mai was talking about, but he slowly explained to me: "The human soul has three souls: heaven, earth, and life, and when a person dies, the soul of heaven and earth returns to its place, and the soul of life stays in the world, and when it is reincarnated, the three souls of heaven and earth will reunite, but if the soul of earth does not go to the underworld, it will stay and combine with the soul of life, that is a ghost." ”

Saying that, Grandpa Mai looked at Mai Xiaorou's room, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and said: "The soul of life is left in the world, and it will generally stay in the place where the body is buried, but the soul of life has been out of the body, so it can no longer return to the original body, and the original body will gradually decay, but if the soul returns to the body because of some coincidences and is nourished by the body, then the dead person will become a corpse, Xiaorou is in this situation now." ”

Mai Xiaorou is really a corpse, not a living person!

Grandpa Mai continued: "Xiao Rou sealed her natal soul, just like a person has become a vegetative person, his body can't move, but he can't die. ”

I was a little puzzled and asked, "Wasn't that Xiaorou fine not long ago, when she was in the provincial capital." ”

Grandpa Mai suddenly became a little angry and said: "That's not for your good, if it's not for you, why would she risk the destruction of the soul to find you and borrow your life!" ”

Speaking of which, I'm confused again, borrowing my life for thirty years, how can it still be good for me.

I asked Grandpa Mai why, Grandpa Mai said: "This is a heavenly opportunity, Xiaorou and I can't tell you, we swore an oath, and you don't know about it, it's also good for you, if you know, you will be trapped in the whirlpool of fate, and you will not be able to extricate yourself, and even suffer from heaven's punishment for this, Xiaorou doesn't tell you this, then she will resist all the punishments for you." ”

When he said this, Grandpa Mai suddenly stopped, then took a deep breath and said: "I have said enough, when Xiaorou wakes up at night, be kind to her, don't live up to her kindness, she will repay you if she borrows your life." ”
