Chapter 8 Painted Skin Appearing in 2045
July 12, 2045 at 5:56 a.m. "Impossible, Mei Niang is so beautiful and gentle, how can she be a ghost?" One man roared at another.
"Oh, brother, think about it, a girl's family, how could she run to our courtyard in the middle of the night, enter your house again, and throw her arms on you?" The younger brother said bitterly to the elder brother.
"I don't believe it, Mei Niang is the daughter of the Taiyuan academic and political envoy Zhang, the stepmother was jealous of her father's favor and favored her, and when his father left home to be an official, she forced her to marry an ugly businessman, she would rather die than give in, so she fled here, and we are in love, and he has to help me achieve fame......"
"Oh, my brother, how can I say it to believe you. It's just a ghost, a ghost who wants to dig out your heart and suck your blood. The younger brother shook his head and said, "In this way, you come with me, and I will take you to see your Mei Niang." ”
He dragged his brother to the window of Mei Niang's room, and the younger brother pointed to the crack in the window and asked his brother to look in.
The elder brother slowly pressed his face to the window, and through the crack in the window, the elder brother saw that there was a fierce ghost with fangs and a blue face covered with flesh! It was drawing a beautiful face on a human skin with a pen dipped in dye......
"Ahh The elder brother couldn't control himself, screamed and collapsed to the ground, and the younger brother hurriedly stepped forward to pull the elder brother away. At this time, the ghost realized that there was someone outside the window, and quickly put on the disguise of human skin and walked out of the room. "What's wrong with you, Chongwen, are you uncomfortable?"
The elder brother sat on the ground and was so frightened that he couldn't stand up, so he could only use his hands and feet to push desperately backwards. The younger brother drew his sword with trembling hands and made a defensive gesture.
"Chongwen, I'm Mei Niang!" “
You're not Mei Niang, you're a ghost, a ghost wearing a human skin and trying to dig out my heart. Wang Chongwen mustered up the courage to say to Mei Niang.
Mei Niang suddenly stopped, tears flashing in her eyes: "Yes, I am indeed a ghost, but I did not come to you to harm you." I was originally a little ghost at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, but unfortunately I was caught by a Taoist priest that day, and when I was about to die, a little shepherd boy helped me escape from the clutches. ”
"From then on, I wanted to repay the favor with that little shepherd boy. I searched for a thousand years, until that day, we met at the Broken Bridge, and I could tell at a glance that you were the reincarnation of that little shepherd boy. I want to marry you in return, but my true appearance will surely scare you. ”
"That's why I came up with this idea, to draw a look you like on human skin, and then put it on and have a tryst with you. The colors on the paintings will continue to deteriorate, and in order to stay with you, I have to hide every day to repaint the skin. ”
When Mei Niang said this, she raised her head, stopped the tears that were about to fall, and then said in a heart-wrenching voice: "If I wanted to hurt you, I would have done it a long time ago." I want to get your heart, but I don't dig it out of my body and eat it, I want you to have only me in your heart. Now that you've discovered me for who I am, it's impossible for us to be as sorry for me as we used to be. ”
Mei Niang walked towards this end as she spoke, Chongwen was constantly thinking about Mei Niang's words, and forgot to retreat.
And his younger brother was nervously holding the sword, and just wanted to swing it, but the ghost's movements were even faster, and he snatched the sword and said to Chongwen heartbreakingly: "Since we can't stay together like before, then I have no reason to live." ”
As he spoke, the ghost stabbed himself in the chest with a backhand, and the sword passed through its heart, causing the ghost to fall.
"Mei Niang!" Chongwen remembered the sweet time when the two of them were together before, and rushed forward desperately and hugged Mei Niang.
The human skin worn by the ghost had fallen off, and Mei Niang showed her original appearance with green fangs, but Chongwen still held it and cried bitterly.
At this time, Avalokiteshvara sat on an auspicious cloud and appeared in the sky. "Wang Chongwen, there is only one way to resurrect Mei Niang: you need to give it a sincere kiss, and only a sincere kiss can resurrect her."
Wang Chongwen looked at the blue-faced and fanged ghost beside him - the TV screen was black, Xuanyuan Cheng pouted and pressed the remote control in his hand and turned off the TV.
"Hey, you let me finish reading it, this latest version of "Painted Skin", I want to watch it for a long time, I don't have time, I wanted to finish it in its entirety while I was in the hospital." Li Xing complained on the side.
Xuanyuan Orange turned around and puffed out his cheeks, making his face, which was already a little baby fat, more obvious.
She threw the remote control aside and said: "What are the current movies adapted into, people's "Painted Skin" was originally to teach boys not to be confused by appearance, to leave their wives alone, and spend time with other girls, and finally was gouged out by ghosts." It was his wife who asked the Taoist priest to kill the ghost, and ran around to finally revive him. It is to tell the boy to be wholeheartedly good to the original match......"
Li Xing pressed the button, and the bed was adjusted from sitting to lying again: "No matter what the original book thinks, Pu Songling is also a person who grew up in a feudal society, we have to take its essence and go to its ......"
Li Xing said this, seeing that Xuanyuan Orange's face had bulged into a ball, and his big eyes kept staring at him all the time. Li Xing hurriedly changed the subject: "Ah, then should I suspect that you are a powerful ghost?" ”
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Cheng felt very strange when he heard this question, and the breath in his cheeks just now also exhaled.
Li Xing continued: "Powerful ghosts like to paint themselves with beautiful faces, so aren't you the one who should be most suspected?" ”
Xuanyuan Orange's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, and he paused and said, "Of course I'm naturally beautiful." ”
She stood up: "I still have something to do, let's go first." ”
"Goodbye then." Li Xing responded to her.
Just after Xuanyuan Orange turned around, Li Xing exhaled a breath of air and watched Xuanyuan Orange walk out.
When Xuanyuan Orange walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, gently stuck out his tongue, closed his right eye, made a grimace, and then disappeared outside the door.
"Why are you so serious, it's just a movie." Li Xing took out his mobile phone from the drawer and wanted to search for the ending of the latest version of the movie: "The painted skin doesn't really exist." ”
"Painted skins really exist!" Wu Chen was talking to an older brother in his thirties, who was a security guard at the space base who had been buying a bag of vegetables to go home and make dinner.
"It's likely that the Blue Shadow Star Man was disguised as an ordinary person and lurked around us, so you must think about it: Is there anyone you know who has recently disappeared?"
The eldest brother seemed to understand the importance of this question from Wu Chen's tone, but the answer he gave was still: "No, no one suddenly disappeared." ”
Wu Chen shook his head helplessly, this is already the fifty-seventh person, and there are no related personnel to disappear at all. I don't know what happened to Ma Gan.
He contacted Ma Gan by phone, but the news he got was that Ma Gan also found nothing: in fact, Ma Gan went to the public security agency early in the morning. After checking for a long time, in the last few days, there has not been a single report of missing people in the vicinity. Then he wanted to start from the perspective of the blue movie star people entering the city, and flip through the population records that have entered the city in the recent period.
But for a fast-growing city, the task is too much. Even though he was exhausted, he still had a lot of records to look through.
The sun had been setting for a long time, and Wu Chenzhi, who had just eaten something indiscriminately at noon, felt that he had no energy, and his legs were already a little weak from hunger.
In fact, the area where he was located was originally a large open space. Due to the construction of a new space base, it has gradually developed into a residential area in order to meet the living needs of the people involved.
He is now on Zhiyuan Street, and the communities on both sides of the street are all inhabited by the staff of the aerospace base. And the street itself is named after the astronaut hero.
Walking on the road, he found a Cantonese restaurant, the name of the restaurant is very interesting, called "Second Moon", Wu Chen didn't pick it, and walked in directly......
