I walked into this wood carving shop.

The little girl named "Liu Mei" was looking at me straight all the time.

But I look like a middle-aged man in my thirties with a pale complexion, so I'm not worried that she'll still recognize me.

It's just that I originally planned to come in and chat with Liu Mei.

She is a first-hand witness to the incident of Zhang Qingxuan and Huangquannu.

I'm afraid I know better than anyone what happened back then.

However, when I actually came to the store, I was instantly frozen.

Because...... The wood carvings I have seen, whether large or small, or of various styles, all have two most important protagonists.

One is a noble son dressed in a wide robe and embroidery, with a hairpin on his head, and he is deliberately dyed green by paint.

The other one is even more obvious, wearing green clothes, and his appearance is almost perfect.

Of course I recognize them.

Zhang Qingxuan and Lu Qingyi!

I looked at them one by one and found that although these wood carvings were all Zhang Qingxuan and Lu Qinyi, each one was decorated with various scenes, and they were also dragged on wooden plates.

It looks like a whole.

And each of these wood carvings is like telling a story, and the base can also be marked with a serial number......

The more I watched, the more terrified I became.

The first wood carving was obviously the first meeting between Zhang Qingxuan and Huang Quannu.

In the small grave in the wilderness, a little girl smiling and hanging on top of the tomb. Next to them are a man and a woman, opposite each other.

The expressions of the two, one was silent, and the other was cold-eyebrowed.

It looks alive.

……

This was clearly their first meeting.

I was a little excited, and I looked at the second one.

Zhang Qingxuan's head was scattered, his head hanging, and he was half-sitting next to the small grave that had been bulldozed.

Behind him, the woman quietly stood alone, looking at his back in a daze.

The third one is the mountain gate! Zhang Qingxuan exuded his true qi, and the Huangquan girl stood on top of the Huangquan, facing all the righteous people around the Yuan Dao.

There is no fear!

All the way up to the fourth, fifth......

The more I looked, the more shocked I became.

Since I possessed Zhang Qingxuan at the beginning, I know very well what happened before their wedding.

And these statues are impressively depicted in the sight of a third person, completely portraying their little lives.

Finally...... I saw the statue of them at their wedding.

The bride and groom are dressed in red wedding dresses, and the husband and wife worship each other, and they all have smiles on their faces!

What about the next one?

At this moment, I just felt my heart beat faster, and the next thing I wanted to know was the most.

Soon, I saw that the word "23" was engraved on the pedestal.

This statue is completely different from the previous ones!

If we say, the previous statues were all colored, or cyan, warm yellow, sky blue, or festive red.

All the previous statues had their own colors.

But from this one, it's all gray.

The carver, it seems, is deliberate.

I watched closely.

But when I saw this statue, there was only a man with a disheveled head, he knelt between the rooms where they were married, looking up at the sky, his eyes were blank, his lips were slightly open, and the statue was none!

Is this what Zhang Qingxuan looked like after that night?

I muttered to myself and continued to look back.

The statue is still lifelike, but of the original two protagonists, only one man remains.

He seemed to have given up all hope, and he sat in the middle of the shop with a scruffy beard and a mantle, and his hands carved wooden carvings......

There are seven such statues, each of which is the appearance of a man at a different time, but it is almost the same, and I can even feel the bitterness of loneliness and sadness.

The next statue, however, opened my eyes wide.

In the man's shop, I don't know when, an old man appeared.

This old man was carved by the carver, portrayed vividly, his face was originally compassionate, but at this moment his face was hideous, he opened his mouth to the male protagonist who ended the curtain, revealing his sharp teeth! A little girl, hiding behind the door, shivering!

And then another ...... The old man pinched the little girl's neck, and the man knelt on the ground, as if in repentance.

Move on to the next one!

This statue is very complex, even more than three times larger than the others, and the carver has put a lot of effort into it.

The overall appearance is a small town, with shops on both sides of the main road.

But on the opposite side of this town, there stood an old man whose figure was magnified many times, he smiled fiercely, and in the town, one figure after another fell or knelt on the ground, all with painful expressions.

And the male protagonist is already kneeling at the foot of the tall statue, looking humble as an ant!

……

Before I knew it, I was in front of the last statue.

The man stood in front of a mountain gate with a human head in his hand!

Looking at his face, it is exactly the same as the old man before.

Behind him, on the plaque of the mountain gate, the words "Shouyuan Road" are clearly visible.

The man lifted his head and made a long roar to the sky.

At this moment, the whole world, this is the only one!

……

This is the end of the statue.

However, I looked at the empty wooden plates in some places, and only one question rose in my heart.

And statues, and definitely ......

The things described here are not complete at all.

There are still a lot of vacancies in the middle and last part of Zhang Qingxuan and Huang Quannu.

So much so that I could only see some clues, but I couldn't get a full picture.

However, with the only wood carvings, I already have a vague understanding of what happened in the first place.

The white-haired old man, with his appearance and bearing, is clearly the so-called Yuan Daoist!

At the beginning, after Zhang Qingxuan's wedding, he also looked for Zhang Qingxuan.

And looking at the style of the wood carvings in the middle, Zhang Qingxuan was obviously insulted.

However, why is there a large gap in the middle?

Could it be that the carver has not seen it either?

Are all the scenes she has carved with her own eyes?

I wondered.

And this carver......

I turned my head to look at the girl who had been looking at me since I came in.

Although I already had the answer in my mind, I couldn't help but ask, "Are there any other wood carvings here?" ”

The girl is Liu Mei, still wearing a warm yellow dress.

Her eyes lit up when she heard my voice.

Ask me directly. "Can you read it?"

Looking at her appearance, it seems to be very happy.

It seems that there is my memory again, the little girl Huang Yi, running loudly around her tomb, shouting "ghost" in fear.

I was silent at first, not knowing how to answer, and finally said: "I look at these wood carvings, it seems to be quite interesting, and they are all talking about the same person, right?" ”

She continued to look at me, and when she heard my words, she seemed a little disappointed.

"yes, it's all a one-man story." She hung her head, seeming a little sad.

But soon she looked up again, and both eyes seemed to be shining, "Can you really read?" ”

"If you can really understand, you can take the statues with you, they don't need money, but I have one condition, if you can see the person on the wood carving, bring him a word."

"What?" I was a little surprised, and I thought of that blind man again.

Looking at the girl's appearance, it is not in this way that the blind man Wu took the coffin and the wedding dress from her.

But, but ...... Here, there are only wood carvings, nothing else.

At this time, the little girl Liu Mei had already answered my words.

"If you see him. Just tell him, I've been looking for them again, Meimei has been looking for them! ”

"Is that okay?"

I took a deep look at her.

I want to know more. "You're talking about them, not just the man on the wood carving?"

"And my sister? It was the first wood carving, the woman in Tsing Yi. ”

The little girl's sparkling eyes were hard to refuse.

"Yes, I think, I've seen them." I spoke.

"Have you really seen them?" The girl was overjoyed when she heard this.

"yes, but I have one more question."

"You say."

I held back the throbbing in my heart and looked at the little girl in front of me, "In this place, was there once a red coffin and a Jiufeng wedding dress?" ”

Who knows, when I just asked this sentence, the little girl in front of me first changed from happy to sluggish.

She was silent for a moment.

Immediately after, her sparkling eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

"You're a liar, you're a liar too!"

"They're dead, no one has seen them, how can you still see them."

"You, like him, are all liars, and they all want to cheat your brother and sister from me, and I won't let you go."

As she spoke, the little girl, who was originally quiet, suddenly pounced on me.

Her speed is too fast, one second she was still acting as a small boss on the counter, but the next second. Immediately came to me.

Her small figure tugged at my collar, as if unwilling to let me go.

"Whoever lies to me will die. You're all going to die! ”

Her little mouth was grinning with a terrifying hideousness.

"Whoever lies to me will not die well, they have all been fulfilled, and you still want to lie to me."

"You're going to die too!"

As she spoke, this little girl didn't know where the strength came from, and she actually pinched my neck.

I suddenly had trouble breathing, and I was about to strike.

But at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

"Meimei, don't make a move on the guests."

"Mother!"

The little girl, Meimei, immediately let go of me and smiled instead.

Look at the side door of the house.

At this time, I saw a scene that shocked me greatly.

With the opening of the side door.

A woman who looked like a peasant woman quietly approached.

She doesn't look very pretty, but she has the gentleness of a woman.

And after she appeared, Liu Mei, who had a strange personality just now and showed murderous intent to me, ran to the woman's side in a hurry.

Jiao shouted.

"Mother!"

The woman smiled softly, and then looked up.

Quietly look at me.

"Guest, from outside?"

When I heard her voice, I almost lost my soul!

What's going on?

Liu Mei's mother?

Isn't she already gone?

As the key person Zhang Qingxuan doubted his master for the first time.

I've never seen it though.

But her sense of existence is stronger than anyone else.

She's obviously dead, how can she still show up?

Who is she?
