Chapter 27 ◎ The Soul of the Old Man
A cold hand slowly covered Hehuan's shoulder, and the cold touch made Hehuan's body tremble, and somehow a spirit suddenly looked up, but found that it was Xue Chen.
Looking at Hehuan's somewhat frightened expression, Xue Chen hurriedly withdrew his hand and asked, "Yes, I'm sorry, you're ...... Can this be scary? ”
Hehuan looked at Xue Chen, so he breathed lightly, but he didn't have the heart to listen to him, just looked back at the family photo, in the oil painting, the two children sitting next to Miss Sally's legs were also wearing small cotton clothes in early winter, with round and tender faces, eyebrows, nose, eyes and demeanor......
It's like what she just saw out the window......
Thinking of this, Hehuan suddenly turned his head to look back, but found that the two children who had just sat under the tree disappeared without knowing when, as if it was just a moment, which made Hehuan's scalp begin to tingle, and a layer of cold sweat had oozed behind him unconsciously.
If she was not mistaken, the two children who were under the tree just now were clearly the children of Miss Sally on the oil painting......
The heart is pounding badly, and the legs are a little weak, what did she just see? She saw the portrait belonging to the Republic of China period, and saw the old man who had long since died, she just saw a ghost!
Noticing Hehuan's strange appearance, Xue Chen hurriedly helped her behind him, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
However, no one answered, Hehuan didn't hear Xue Chen's words, her eyes were staring out of the window, under the old locust tree, there were obviously two children just now, why did they suddenly disappear?
She rushed down.
Running to the place where the two children were sitting just now, Hehuan grabbed a girl who had just gotten off the swing and asked, "Excuse me, did you see it just now, the two children sitting here are about three or four years old, and they are wearing more clothes......
The girl who was swinging was startled by Hehuan, looked at her very suspiciously, shook her head and said, "No, there was no one here just now, where did the three or four-year-old children come from, so it is...... Is your child lost? ”
No one!
Hehuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and the whole person was numb and stiff in place, the girl felt that Hehuan's expression was not quite right, and she thought to herself, is it really that the child is lost?
Seeing that the girl seemed to have the urge to call the police, Xue Chen, who hurried over behind her, explained it again and again, and barely explained clearly, the girl glanced at the two people, felt inexplicable, turned around and left with her companions.
Looking at the empty swing, Xue Chen went over and sat down, holding Hehuan's hand but felt cold, his palms were still sweaty, Xue Chen was a little worried, he just wanted to ask, but somehow a moment of thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but look at Hehuan with some shock......
"Did you just see ......?"
Before the words fell, Hehuan had already nodded mechanically, twisted his head very stiffly, and looked at the empty shade behind him.
Xue Chen was just guessing, but he didn't expect it to be true, Hehuan just asked the girl if she had seen two three or four-year-old children, but Xue Chen also remembered that there were no children here at that time, and if you want to say three or four-year-old children, he had seen it on the oil painting hanging on the wall of the restaurant, but, weren't they Miss Sally's two children? If the acacia sees ......
Xue Chen felt more and more incredible, he thought that what Hehuan saw was just some sci-fi scenes, and some natural phenomena were exaggerated, but he never thought that she could actually see these unclean things, his heart sank suddenly, and he watched Hehuan basking in the sun in place, and after slowing down for about ten minutes, he gradually calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and then reluctantly said: "I just seem to have seen something that shouldn't be seen......"
Before Hehuan finished speaking, Xue Chen knew that he had guessed correctly, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he pulled Hehuan and walked straight back, saying as he walked: "It's okay, it may be a moment of dazzle, it's okay, it's a blue sky and a white day, how can you see those, let's go out early and find a good restaurant to have a meal." ”
Hehuan was pulled away in a hurry, in front of the Konglan Courtyard, they met the kind-faced female tour guide again, the female tour guide received a new group of guests, saw Hehuan leave, smiled politely, but Hehuan didn't have any thoughts, but was hurriedly pulled away by Xue Chen.
Downstairs in the hotel, there were many restaurants, and Hehuan's face was ugly, so Xue Chen quickly went to get a bag and took Hehuan upstairs and went back to the room.
"Hmm...... You look at the teriyaki sauce and black pepper, which one do you like to eat? ”
Xue Chen stood in front of Hehuan with the takeaway, smiling and shaking it reluctantly, but found that Hehuan didn't pay attention to him, so he had to put down the takeaway and sit next to Hehuan, but he didn't know how to comfort her for a while......
In the long dusk, time seemed to freeze in the room, and as the sunlight gradually went out, Xue Chen remembered the eighteen-year-old of Hehuan......
That year, her eighteenth birthday, it was the height of summer, Hehuan's parents took her to the suburbs to play, when the car drove to the highway, but unfortunately was hit by a pickup truck that had just gotten off the highway without slowing down, the scene was tragic, thanks to the timely rescue, but Hehuan's parents failed to stick to the hospital, they had unfortunately passed away, Hehuan was also seriously injured and unconscious, lying in the ICU for more than two months, before slowly waking up, and then lived in the hospital for more than a year, before it was completely relieved.
It's just that since then, Hehuan seems to have changed somewhat, not in the body, but in the heart, to be precise, in the eyes of Hehuan.
It was the first time that Hehuan went to the park behind the community after being discharged from the hospital, Xue Chen sat with her by the lake for an hour, Hehuan was in a daze at the lake, and he couldn't call away, and then returned home, Hehuan also squatted in the house before quietly saying to Xue Chen, she had just seen the lake boiling and bubbling in the park, and those bubbles were not the lake water churning at all, but a small head......
When Xue Chen heard it for the first time, he thought it was absurd, but then he slowly realized that it didn't seem to be a joke.
Whenever after the summer solstice, what Hehuan saw in his eyes and nightmares in the night appeared one after another, and it could slowly decrease and disappear in the winter of the lunar month, in the past few years, how many dreams Hehuan had, how many strange natural and man-made disasters he had "seen", Xue Chen remembered them one by one, and he often comforted Hehuan and didn't let her think about it much, maybe it was just the illusion of some mirage......
Perhaps, just like those people who were struck by lightning and didn't die in novels, what special functions would they have?
However, they found that what Hehuan saw in his eyes was not predictable, and those things never happened, but fortunately, gradually later, Hehuan himself tried to get used to it......
In short, the world is so big that there are no surprises.
To this day, she says she sees the spirits of the old dead.
Everything is slowly getting weirder, yes, it's like a whirlpool, a huge black hole......
From knowing the Xiahou Rin who was similar to his eyebrows, to Su Fenglin who disappeared, to the fact that he was inexplicably afraid of a little milk dog, to the rich smell of blood that only he could smell on the shore of Fengzhou Lake......
He seemed to confirm that not only Hehuan had gone off track, but even he himself was not spared.
