Chapter 20: I'll Catch You This Time!
Knock knock!
A piano piece actually sounded in the theater, Ding Cheng turned around, and found that the curtain of the stage behind him had been quietly opened, and four wooden boxes were neatly placed in the center of the stage.
What's going on?
Ding Cheng took a flashlight to look at the box on the table, and at this time he found that it was not a box, but four fine coffins.
The coffin is exquisitely made, the carvings on the plate are not the same, look carefully, each coffin board is also equipped with a large photo frame, and the two sides of the frame are inlaid with colored ribbons.
It is a posthumous photo and an elegiac couplet.
The black-and-white posthumous light shines under the changing white and yellow light of the flashlight, and Ding Cheng chooses to look at it from the far left.
On the far left is an old man, his face tightly stiffened, his nasolabial folds deep, and not kind.
His elegy reads as follows:
[Grandpa is gone]
[Mr. Lu Zhonglin walked all the way, very mourning, I still remember my grandfather's voice and smile]
[Your beloved granddaughter, Lu Xiaoming]
Ding Cheng looked at Mr. Lu Zhonglin's elegy with mixed feelings, and had a sense of conflict in the funeral.
This sense of conflict comes from the words on the couplet, which are not the black characters commonly used at funerals, but the colorful handwriting painted in crayons, and the cute animal motifs behind the words.
"Grandpa is gone" is also painted behind these four words with a huge smiling face.
It seems that the person who writes is glad that her grandfather is dead.
Ding Cheng continued to look to the side.
The second on the left is a chubby middle-aged woman who looks well-maintained and has a professional smirk on her face.
Her elegiac couplet reads:
[My stepmother died]
[Stepmother Ms. Yang Qing went all the way and died unjustly]
[Your beloved stepdaughter, Lu Xiaoming]
The couplet is still painted with crayons, but the stepmother's one is more festive than the previous color, and the background music of the theater has been quietly replaced with a joyful disco
The third posthumous photo is of a child who doesn't look very smart
Bang Lian:
[My brother is gone]
[Congratulations on the funeral of Chi High C]
[Love your stepsister, Xiao Ming]
The amount of information in the elegiac couplet is huge, but it is also expected, Ding Cheng nodded while watching, the lyrics of 'stepmother', 'old man' and 'younger brother' have all appeared one after another, so the last coffin should contain her own father who brought her stepmother into the house?
Surprisingly, the fourth elegiac couplet is blank on it.
Ding Cheng threw the flashlight at the photo, and was shocked, this time he was startled by the solidity.
The last photograph is in color, taken at the intersection of Pine Rock Bay, and it should have been taken not long ago.
The person on the right of the frame is cut to half an arm, and the person on the left is holding his hands, smiling with a spring breeze.
The fourth photo is Ding Cheng himself.
The cheerful disco came to an abrupt end, the stage was raised, four coffins were neatly sent to the sky, and the fourth coffin pried open the coffin board.
Then, with a thud, he was carried away.
A new stage rises below the stage, and the curtain quietly turns a miserable white, this time the protagonist of the new stage becomes a puppet.
The doll turned his back to Ding Cheng and read the dialogue.
"Miserable! Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth! ”
The puppet turns its head and stretches out its arms:
"The protagonist of the story is called Lu Xiaoming, she is the most innocent and lovely girl in the world, living a happy and happy life......"
The doll blackened, in a lowered tone: "Until one day, an undesirable woman came to the house." ”
Syllable!
A posthumous photo fell, it was Lu Xiaoming's stepmother.
"The hapless child who led her to give birth."
Syllable!
Another posthumous photo fell, Lu Xiaoming's younger brother.
"The two of them are complicit in that old immortal!"
"Smack!"
Lu Xiaoming's grandfather's posthumous photo fell.
"Tormenting the innocent and kind protagonist!"
The puppet stomps its feet angrily.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
The three coffins fell in circles, bang, bang! The coffin board was blown away together, and the ashes spiraled into the sky.
Dirty, curled powder was scattered all over the ground, the same thing Ding Cheng had seen on the Ferris wheel.
Ding Cheng was silent.
It turned out that it was not nail clippings, it was ashes.
"Everyone, get up!" In the sky of ashes, Di jumped up next to the puppet as if no one was around, and it didn't stop until the ashes slowly fell.
The puppet was intoxicated and circled around with her arms folded: "At this time, only the neighbor's big brother can give her a little spiritual comfort~"
(´▽`)
"The plot of old-fashioned dogs." Ding Cheng commented.
The puppet stopped performing and was stunned: "What did you say?" ”
"I said that your plot is vulgar, embarrassing, and dramatic." Ding Cheng said.
"Mixed up!"
The puppet exploded on the spot, and Lu Xiaoming appeared in the debris holding the bear, staring at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.
"You can insult my plot, but you can't insult my brother!"
"Speechless." Ding Cheng crossed his arms and looked down at her: "I said Lu Xiaoming, don't you just want me to replace your brother after spending so much time?" ”
"You guessed it." Lu Xiaoming lowered his head and touched the hair on the bear's head to hide her inadvertent timidity: "I see that you do have some inexplicable closeness." ”
Ding Cheng nodded, of course, this is because his golden finger is right.
This golden finger sounds really good, but why didn't he do a good thing in his hands? Look at what the hell they have brought him?
"So it's actually you who followed me at the gate of Moon River Park, and you've been eyeing me since I entered the park?"
Lu Xiaoming smiled shyly and nodded.
"You're such a pervert." Ding Cheng said mockingly.
"What?" Lu Xiaoming's eyes widened.
"I said you're a pervert. What are you doing, brother, you are a Pokémon, Lu Xiaoming, you pretended to be a ghost, destroyed public equipment, and I jumped into the river and walked wet for a long time, your sin is unforgivable. ”
"Prepare to die." Ding Cheng took out the evil spirit ball from his backpack and faced Lu Xiaoming.
"How dare you?" Lu Xiaoming's eyes widened in disbelief, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.
"You're trying to say you're so awesome, why aren't I scared? Because I suddenly figured out a truth just now, you are an evil spirit with an ability value of B or less, and all evil spirits below B can be caught with an evil spirit ball. So I'm just going to arrest you and it's over. ”
Every time Ding Cheng said a word, Lu Xiaoming's face turned white, and in the end, her face was as white as her stepmother's posthumous photo.
"I'm going to catch you this time!" Ding Cheng grabbed the ball and laughed, and pounced on Lu Xiaoming.
"Don't come here!" Lu Xiaoming hugged the bear and turned his head and fled off the stage.
As you run, you untie your belongings and throw them behind you.
What's going on?
Ding Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, and stopped funny:
"Don't think I'm going to pity you if you do these things, please stop your nonsensical behavior quickly!"
Lu Xiaoming didn't realize it and continued to do his own thing.
"Lu Xiaoming, let me tell you, as a Lori, you have to have a basic bottom line of behavior."
Lu Xiaoming didn't say a word, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, coats, and finally even the bear toys that she didn't leave were thrown out by her.
Because the headlights were not on, the faint light source in the theater missed many details.
So Ding Cheng didn't notice that every time Lu Xiaoming threw away an item, her body seemed to be a little bigger.
Until Ding Cheng chased him to the gate of the auditorium, the burgundy sky light illuminated the vicinity clearly.
"Are you really that confident with your ball?"
Lu Xiaoming smiled weirdly and slowly turned around at the gate.
Ding Cheng was stunned.
Because Lu Xiaoming in front of him has become an adult with a height of one meter seven.
