Chapter 228: The Cellar

“…… It was about 60 years ago, I met his third master in Beijing. The old lady began to recall, "Actually, when I went out, it was also for the sake of family affairs, and I always felt that there was a solution to this matter." It's a pity that when I go back, my brothers and sisters are also dying, leaving children alone. Speaking of this orphanage, it was still his third master's idea for me. His third master is a strange person I know, I thought I could find a solution in him, but I didn't expect that the old thing didn't produce the results I wanted until he died. Just threw his grandson here, saying that all this, this kid can solve it. But after ten years, I didn't see any hope in this kid, and I always felt that the old guy had tricked me to solve the curse. ”

"Grandma Wang, why do I always think that you are a little ...... with my third master?"

Syllable! The old lady slapped Bai Wuji on the back of the head, "Get out, little cub." ”

"No, I really can't help it, you said curse this thing, there is no root and no shadow, what can I do? Pull it out and beat it up? I can't hit it. Bai Wuji spread his hands helplessly, and his eyes immediately turned to me, like throwing a pot, "But my old brother just said it, he may have a way, or Grandma Wang, you can listen to it?" ”

The old lady was actually curious about this for a long time, and it was I who asked her to tell her how this orphanage came to be and why Bai Wuji came here. It's a pity that the answer she gave me was also vague. But in fact, the problem is also with me, I always feel that Bai Wuji seems to be hiding something, that is, the answer that "only he can solve this matter".

"What the hell do you have in mind? You say you've seen a silent night, but what do you mean? The old lady asked.

"I once knew a child named Jingye in my hometown of Gujing Town, and Jingye should be the same age as you said. But she had never left Gujing until she met me. Oh no, they're outsiders, to be exact, they've never left Gujing since they were ten years old. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying, and Silent Night has never left me."

"I believe it, that's why it's strange, that's why I want to meet you for a quiet night."

The old lady looked at the time, "It's almost back, maybe later, I'll let her go out and buy me something, ingredients, daily necessities, too much." This child is also playful in Jingye, and she usually doesn't have much chance to go out, she is different from other children, I don't want her to see too much outside life, I'm afraid she will be uncomfortable. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady deliberately glanced at Bai Wuji, and then continued to mumble in her mouth, "Late, later......"

Then he turned his gaze to me, "Probably evening, can you wait?" ”

"Absolutely."

"Okay, dinner, let's eat another day, let's stay here for dinner tonight." You can walk around in the afternoon and come back at any time. ”

I glanced at the broom, recalled the structure I first saw when I entered the old building, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, listen to you." ”

So, we left for a while, and when I went out, I smelled it carefully, and there was also that smell in the corridor, and I saw the small door leading to the back of the building, and there was a staircase in the glass window, and an outdoor staircase, but it was not only up, but also extended downward, and there seemed to be a basement there.

"The conditions were not good, and the children had a lot of food, and they couldn't afford to get a refrigerator, so they made a cellar. There is a cellar underneath. "The old lady came to me at some point, and although I didn't say what I was looking at, she gave me an answer.

"That's ...... Then we'll come back in the evening. ”

……

In the afternoon we did not leave, but stayed here, at the iron gate of the orphanage.

But I never saw the shadow of the silent night, and waited until it was dark, and we ate at the orphanage. When I saw the children, there were some similarities between the eyebrows, and I could see that they were a family. They were happy because they had a good dinner today and a lot of meat.

The children here are very fond of Baiwuji, and no matter what age they are, they can fight with him for a few words.

He should come often for this decade of time.

After the meal, it was already dark, and the quiet night had not come back, but Du Youlan had already switched bodies, I believed in her, and there were things that I cared about very much, so I handed over the task of squatting to her, and came to the back of the old yellow building alone, the outdoor staircase.

I was going to go into the cellar and look at it, but I always thought that the smell of insects came from that.

But when I got there, I found another person there, sitting at the corner of the third staircase, holding a green glass bottle of soda, waving to me, "Brother, you're here too?" Shouldn't you go to the squatting and keep a silent night? ”

It's a mowgli.

So, I walked up the stairs, "That's right, but I also want to go around, in case there's a back door here, in case I sneak back quietly in the night." ”

"You're really forced to be delusional, why is Jingye hiding from you, she doesn't know you." He handed me the soda.

I waved my hand, "Not thirsty." ”

He asked, "Let's talk?" ”

So, I sat down next to him and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"It's true that I told Silent Night that she could have lived like the other children here, but at least she could be as happy as a person. It's a pity that ten years ago, I really owed, and the child couldn't pretend to be in her heart, so she told her all about it, and she knew that she could only live to about twenty-five. You see, twenty-five may be a bit far away for a child, but it's just the beginning of everything. However, in the silent night, her beginning is the end. ”

"You don't blame you for that."

"Come on, this comfort is worthless." He took another sip of soda, but it looked like he was drinking, and he continued to say to me: "I used to think, to tell the truth, to confess, to be like a hero, but not at all...... What bullshit hero, nothing in this world is easier than confession. People who say everything and don't have the slightest secret in their hearts live an easy and easy life. But those who have listened to the secret are suffering, especially if the secret is related to themselves, it is they who suffer, and it is the one who confesses who is relieved. No matter how you say that, sometimes you just look at it from a distance, and it is kinder than stepping forward to intervene. ”

"It seems that this incident has been your nightmare."

"Almost, especially the longer you live, the more you understand life and death."

"But......" I slowly turned my head to look at Bai Wuji, and looked him in the eye, "but your last sentence doesn't seem to fit the subject. ”

"Which one?" He asked.

"You said that it is kinder to look from afar than to step forward and intervene."

So he was stunned for a moment, "Brother, you're tired of living, aren't you?" ”

"It's fine."

"You think too much, then it's just a casual remark, I don't think so much, I just think that if you can really help Jingye, it will be the best. But how can you help? ”

I shook my head, "That's not what we're supposed to talk about right now. ”

"So what shall we talk about now?"

So, I finally asked the question in my heart: "Did you know it a long time ago, maybe ten years ago, how to completely solve this curse, about the curse of the Silent Night Family." ”

We looked at each other, and no matter his eyes, expressions, or any subtle movements, he couldn't escape my eyes at the moment.

But he didn't change his eyes or expression.

It's not like a person.

At least not like Baiwuji, so I'm guessing he's trying to restrain himself, and since that's the case, then the answer is obvious.

"Sure enough, you know." I looked away from him.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything."

"That day, although you went to trouble the stupid old seven, you can see that you don't have the heart to kill him, right?" I mentioned something else, as if to change the subject.

"Dead hand? No, I'm just angry that he said that to Silent Night, and then Silent Night is even stranger. I was guilty because I was guilty, I didn't want Jingye to be hurt, and seeing her unhappy, I wanted to vent my anger at her. I can really see that Silly Lao Qi shouldn't be a person, but I really don't have any intention to kill him, but why should I kill him, isn't he just a fortune teller, even if he is a liar, he won't die, right? ”

"Have you ever wondered why he kidnapped you?"

Bai Wuji shook his head.

I continued to ask, "Then do you know why the person who saved you was looking for the stupid old seven?" ”

Bai Wuji still shook his head.

"You don't know anything, why don't you say he won't die?"

There was confusion in his eyes, so he asked me, "It's because I don't know anything that I can't judge." What's more, I shouldn't have the final say on his life or death. Is there something wrong? ”

I had a lot to say in response to Baiwuji, but the moment he finished speaking, I seemed to see someone in him.

"You're a good guy." So, this became my closing remarks.

"Brother, I don't really care about anything else, but you didn't lie to anyone about that, did you? I mean, you said you could help Silent Night. ”

"I'm not lying, but what I'm saying is possible, as for how big this is and what the final result is, I don't know now."

"It's okay, just don't lie to anyone, I'll thank you on behalf of Jingye." With that, he got up.

At the end of the conversation with Bai Wuji, I have more reason to believe that these children, who don't seem to have the slightest smell of insect poison, are absolutely inseparable from insects.

And Baiwuji knows.

The answer is in that cellar, and I'll have to go in and see.

So, I went down, and the cellar was also an iron door, but it was not locked, and it was locked on it, and it looked like it was open on purpose. I pulled the lock off, and opened the iron door, and the smell of insects became stronger and stronger, but one thing was still certain, there was only a smell here, and I didn't know what the smell was, but at least it wasn't an infected person, and it wasn't hereditary.

I walked to the bottom of the cellar, where the lights were on, but it was still dim, there were no vegetables or food in stock, but there were white hairy egg-like things, they were evenly arranged, but some of them seemed to be broken, only the remains of egg shells.

And the smell of insects is emitted by this thing.

I was about to go up and check, but after only two steps, I heard a sound behind me, and then Mrs. Wang's voice slowly entered my ears, "I know that you have a little thought about my cellar." Sure enough, it came in. It's just that, seeing this, are you still satisfied? ”
