Chapter 14: Fang Gu leaves
When the sky was a little brighter, Chen Xiaodonkey finally felt sleepy, and just as he was about to climb on the table and take a nap, his forearm suddenly hurt.
He looked down and stood up in fright, his pupils shrinking to the size of pins.
His little arm didn't know what was going on, the subcutaneous flesh collapsed and shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, in just a dozen seconds, the flesh on this little arm seemed to evaporate out of thin air, the skin was dry, and there were deep wrinkles on it at the same time, looking like the arm of an old man in his nineties ----, only skin and bones remained.
This made Chen Xiaodonkey's soul fly out of the sky suddenly.
He hurriedly looked elsewhere in his body and checked almost all the positions, but only this right forearm showed this strange situation.
It's that dream!
Chen Xiaodonkey's face turned pale, and he suddenly remembered a detail in the dream he had when he was hypnotized after the copper bell rang last night.
At that time, his arm reached into the jade coffin, and the female corpse lying in the coffin suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
It stands to reason that people shouldn't feel pain when they are dreaming, but now that he thinks about it, when he was in the dream, when he was grabbed by the female corpse's arm, he clearly felt a cold and huge pain.
But even if it is said to be heavenly, it is just a dream!
Chen Xiaodonkey's heart was full of disbelief, how could a dream still have a substantial impact on people in reality?
Then, he thought of the back of the dream, he seemed to want to drill into the jade coffin, but he was suddenly woken up by Aunt Fang, and Aunt Fang seemed to point his eyebrows.
Nod your eyebrows, is there anything in this?
The more Chen Xiaodonkey thought about it, the more cold he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt worried.
At this moment, an old lady suddenly appeared outside the window of the restaurant, she had a headscarf wrapped around her head and a basket covered with a cloth, standing outside the window, and suddenly stretched out another dry hand that seemed to have an abnormal color of dirt in the gap between her fingernails, and grabbed Chen Xiaodonkey's face.
That hand was extremely fast and silent, and Chen Xiaodonkey fixed his eyes on his right forearm, his nose and ears have always been sharp, and he didn't even feel the slightest abnormality, as if he didn't notice the existence of this old lady at all.
When!
Seeing that the old lady's hand was about to touch Chen Xiaodonkey, it seemed that something strange had happened, the craft vase placed on the counter table of the restaurant fell and shattered, and the old lady's hand suddenly retracted.
Chen Xiaodonkey was startled by the sound, and suddenly felt that the surroundings were very cold, and shivered, but then there was another heat in his chest, and the Taiping Ling hanging around his neck seemed to be hot for a second, dispersing the gloomy cold air, making his whole body suddenly warm.
What's wrong with this?
Chen Xiaodonkey looked at the counter, stunned for a second, and there was no wind, how could the vase that was placed on the table fall down? Following the afterglow, he noticed someone outside the window, he turned his head to look, and was suddenly startled.
He saw the face of the old lady outside the window, the skin on that face was wrinkled, as if there was some kind of cold.
"Uh, old lady, is there anything wrong with you?"
Seeing that the old lady stood motionless, she stared at him and did not speak, so he forcibly endured the discomfort and asked.
The old lady seemed to have no teeth, her lips were deflated, and she moved slightly as if she was chewing something, and after a few seconds, she lifted the corner of the basketcloth and took out a bright red tomato the size of a small apple from it.
"Thanks, I don't like this thing, you can keep it for yourself." Chen Xiaodonkey politely refused.
He didn't know how, but he looked at the obviously fresh tomato, and felt a sense of nausea there.
But the old lady's hand did not retract, but still held it straight, as if she must give him this thing.
Seeing that the old lady never spoke, Chen Xiaodonkey shook his head and said, "The restaurant is not open, if you want to sell some food, find another restaurant, I don't even have a cook." ”
The old lady smiled suddenly, but that smile ---- can you imagine the smile that suddenly gathered together and almost drowned out the facial features? It's very weird, even a little scary.
Chen Xiaodonkey felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he cautiously took two steps back away from the window and looked at the old lady.
The old lady then put the tomato she had taken out on the windowsill, turned away, and patted it lightly as she left, as if to hint at something.
"!"
After the old lady left, Chen Xiaodonkey frowned and scolded, this inexplicable old lady made his whole person very uncomfortable, that feeling was the same as being targeted by some evil spirit.
But as soon as he saw the condition of his forearm, he immediately put these thoughts behind him, and went up to the third floor to see if he could wake up Aunt Fang, but when he went up and pushed open the door and turned on the light, he found that Aunt Fang had woken up, sitting on the edge of the bed with blank eyes, as if thinking about something.
"Aunt Fang, I want to know what's going on."
Chen Xiaodonkey was not in the mood to greet him, and put his arm directly in front of Aunt Fang's eyes.
Fang Gu stared at it for a few seconds and shook her head, "Don't worry, you will recover on your own in a few days." ”
"But I want to know what's going on!" Chen Xiaodonkey stubbornly asked again.
Fang Gu said indifferently: "Don't ask, you'd better not know about this." ”
"I ----"
"I can't say either." Fang Gu suddenly looked directly at Chen Xiaodonkey, "Everything related to that jade coffin is rotten in my heart, don't talk to anyone, the more you talk about it, the more things you will do." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, that's the end of it." Fang Gu's tone became indifferent.
Chen Xiaodonkey's words were blocked in his throat, looking at Fang Gu's almost resolute attitude, he knew that he couldn't ask anything about this matter, but he was still very unwilling to think about it.
Exhaling softly, he squinted his eyes and said, "Answer me a question, and I won't ask." ”
"Say."
"You say that God lights candles and ghosts smell incense, is there really a god?"
"The candle is lit."
“……”
Fang Gu's crisp and neat words shattered some of the things that Chen Xiaodonkey didn't want to admit in his heart, and at the same time made him feel a chill coming out of the soles of his feet.
He thought of Uncle Jia's very solemn explanation about Aunt Fang in the letter.
If the ---- in the jade coffin is really a god, then Fang Gu seems to be able to talk to him, and even negotiate, what is Fang Gu?
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene in his mind that a few hours ago, Fang Gu actually jumped from the fourth floor and was still unscathed.
And that mouthful of blood that suddenly turned golden!
"You're wondering why I was able to talk to Him, right?" Fang Gu's emotionless voice made Chen Xiaodonkey feel cold again, and his eyes narrowed even more.
Fang Gu asked herself and replied, "Trust me, you won't want to know. ”
"How do you know I don't want to know?" Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
Fang Gu glanced at him, there seemed to be something in her eyes, she suddenly changed the topic, and said something that made Chen Xiaodonkey confused, "I saw you." ”
"What?"
Fang Gu shook her head, "It's nothing, you go out, I'm going to rest." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey hesitated for a moment, took the door and went out, since Fang Gu said that his arm would recover in two days, then wait two days to see, but in his heart he felt more and more mysterious and unpredictable.
Dongsheng Restaurant turned off the lights at dawn.
The cat brother who found a nest for himself in the restaurant, but quietly slipped into Aunt Fang's room with cat steps, it jumped on the table, and its deep eyes looked at Aunt Fang who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
The person and the cat looked at each other for a while, and a trace of confusion flashed in Fang Gu's eyes that Chen Xiaodonkey had never seen before, and she muttered, "You, are you also from there?" ”
Brother Cat can't speak, so it doesn't react much.
Fang Gu shook her head again, stood up, tied the hemp rope around her body, and then got up and pushed open the window of the room.
Chen Xiaodonkey, who had just been lying down on a bare bed board for a short time, suddenly sat up and quickly rushed into Aunt Fang's room, and there was no one in the room, only Brother Cat looked bored and wagged his tail casually.
The deflated calf jumped off the building again?
Chen Xiaodonkey's mentality was a little broken, and he hurried to the window in two steps to look down, and the figure who was still wearing the hospital gown of the Red Cross Society Hospital had already walked a long distance on the road.
He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the windowsill.
"You were like you were dying a few days ago, and you were dying a few hours ago, just run, and you're not afraid of dying!"
"And what do you mean by that, and where do you come from? You know I can hear it, right? ”
