mask
The car arrived soon, it was an inconspicuous residential building, very easy to find, Wu Xie felt that it might be the same as the previous Chengdu side, there was a hole in it.
When he knocked on the door, he found that the room was very dark, and a thin woman appeared from inside, and at first glance he could hardly tell whether she was a man or a woman, she was wearing very Chinese clothes, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Wu Xie didn't know what to say, so he showed her Xie Yuchen's text message, and she said, "Master Hua'er, I understand." ”
He let him in.
As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a violent smell of the room not ventilating, the room was very clean, but it seemed that the windows had not been opened for a long time, and the light was very dim.
Wu Xie looked around and found that there was a huge makeup mirror on one side of the room, and then all around, there were cabinets. There's a lot of stuff like in a hair salon.
The woman took a box from the inner room and placed it in front of him.
"What the flower lord gave you."
This is a ceramic box the size of a moon cake box but very thin, Wu Xie smiled bitterly, opened the box carefully, and was stunned for a moment.
The box contained brocade with a thin layer of stuff on top of it, which at first glance looked like dough. But on closer inspection, it was a human skin mask.
Although he had seen Yi Rong, this was the first time Wu Xie had seen a real human skin mask, it turned out to be this kind of texture like food, he was funny in his heart, but he didn't know what it meant.
So Wu Xie asked the girl, "What does this mean?" But he found that the girl paid no attention to him, and he pinched the human skin, and found that it was still quite strong, so he took it from the box and flattened it in front of him.
This flattening, Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately recognized whose face it was.
This is the face of the third uncle.
Wu Xie understood what Yuchen meant. He understood it all in that moment, but he couldn't believe it.
He prepared a human skin mask for him, the third uncle. He wasn't trying to show him a disguise.
He wanted to let him wear it.
Wu Xie suddenly admired him very much, he knew the scene here thousands of miles away, and made the most accurate judgment.
He knew that no matter how hard Wu Xie tried, no matter how Wu Xie tried to find the old relationship, the whole thing was irreparable, and the third uncle's power in Changsha had completely collapsed and turned into countless small interest groups, and no one could command them.
The only way is for the third uncle to come back.
But the third uncle can't come back, so what should I do?
They came to create a third uncle.
However, looking at this human skin mask, Wu Xie suddenly felt that a chill surging up from the soles of his feet made him tremble for no reason.
Wu Xie didn't know if it was because of fear, because of panic, or because of excitement or other emotions, in fact, at this moment, there were countless emotions in his body that completely collapsed, and countless scenes were generated in his mind, some of them were from the third uncle, and some were if he became the third uncle, facing everyone, and when he was alone, his mind was in chaos.
At the same time, the faces of the little brother, Mengli, the fat man, and A Ning kept interspersing inside.
Fortunately, it was only for a moment, Wu Xie immediately calmed down, his palms began to sweat, and he began to think about this problem very calmly.
After a few seconds, he understood his choice.
There is no other choice.
"How do you wear this thing?" Wu Xie asked the girl.
"If you want to put it on, I'll put it on for you, and the whole process takes four hours and can be kept for four weeks. Have you figured it out? ”
Wu Xixin said that enough was enough, he just needed to rescue them: "Is it realistic? ”
"This, after I help you put it on, you can judge for yourself." The girl pointed to the chaise longue and asked Wu Xie to lie down.
Wu Xie walked over and lay down, she immediately put the human skin mask on his face, and at that moment, the words of the third uncle suddenly sounded in his ears:
Some masks are worn for too long and cannot be taken off.
Wu Xie was in the toilet of the small hotel, looking at his face in the mirror.
For a long, long time, he didn't have any thoughts, he just looked at the people in the mirror.
The man was familiar, but he wasn't him.
It's a wonderful feeling, mixed with a sense of "escape" and "fear".
He seems to have "escaped" his fate as Wu Xie with this face, but entered a "life" that is even more impossible to control.
This uncontrollability is truly uncontrollable and includes countless possibilities.
Wu Xie could hardly predict what his life would be like after that.
At first, he would tremble slightly even when he wasn't facing the mirror.
It's so much better now, a lot of things, you find it unacceptable at first, but once you accept it, that's it.
"I'm just giving you a skin, and this mask needs to be worn on your heart in addition to your face." When the girl was leaving, she looked at Wu Xie lightly and said such a sentence.
Wear it on my heart? Wu Xie looked at the "third uncle" in the mirror, touched his heart, and wondered if he had been taught like this when he put on the mask of the third uncle.
But after so many years, he really put it on, and the mask he wore on his face could be torn off and worn on his heart, so what?
Wu Xie took out a set of clothes from the closet, which was given to him by the girl, and it was the kind of coat with an antique style that the third uncle liked to wear.
took off his T-shirt and changed into that set of clothes, Wu Xixin said: Xiaohua's service is really thoughtful and fits perfectly.
Thinking like this, I sent him a text message: "Thank you." But there was no response.
The moment he walked out of the door, Wu Xie deliberately straightened his waist and reminded himself that after he walked out of this door, he was another person.
However, soon, he found that he didn't need to be deliberate, walking on the road, his pace changed by himself, and when he passed by the lobby, he took a look at the clothes and mirrors, and found that his eyes were full of an unusual coldness.
