Chapter 2 Face
I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
I didn't even get a hard look at what it was, I thought it was probably flesh with a clear ridge on it.
Could it be......
I don't dare to think that this thing is too weird, and it is completely beyond the cognitive scope of me, a literary and artistic young man who grew up under the red flag.
As soon as I thought of the invitation, I stuck my head out and saw that there was nothing outside the window.
I became more and more confused, thinking back to the old man I met before, Chen Chuyi, who seemed to know something, and why did I feel dizzy and breathless as soon as he grabbed my wrist? This series of questions seems to be pointing at my body, something is wrong.
At this time, my mother knocked on the door and asked me what was wrong, I quickly smiled and returned that it was okay, the company was early today. I've been an honest person since I was a child, so my mother didn't ask much and went to watch TV.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I poked my head out of the window and looked out the window for a long time, but it was still empty.
WhewW......
Let out a long breath, don't scare yourself, I have been under too much pressure in the past two days, and I was expelled again, and I encountered problems such as the marriage of my ex-girlfriend and so on, so I began to hallucinate.
I lay in bed, ready to take a break.
Suddenly, I felt a burning smell coming from the side of my pillow, the same familiar smell as before, and I tensed and looked sideways.
Yes!
It almost didn't scare me to death at the time!
I turned my head sideways, and there was a neat face lying on the quilt that might be only about ten centimeters away from my eyes!
It was definitely a delicate face, and my heart beat faster and my whole body trembled so hard that I began to feel like I couldn't breathe and my body stiffened.
I even felt like I couldn't speak.
The momentary encounter made me lose all ability to think, and I just wanted to escape from this room immediately, from this delicate face.
"Xiaodong, what's the matter?"
Mother pushed the door open at once.
"What is this?"
I still couldn't speak, and the cold sweat had already soaked my entire clothes.
Mother walked over and picked up the face.
It was a face, as if it had been peeled alive from a human face, but there was not a trace of blood on it, and it was as clean as jade.
My heart screamed frantically, and I wanted to yell frantically to make my mother throw it away.
But my mother not only picked it up, but also flipped it......
"Hey, Xiaoying is actually still very good, your father and I like it, I really don't know you guys...... You see everyone else is married now, and you don't have a girlfriend. ”
"Mom, throw it away!"
Mom laughed, then put that face directly on my hand.
"Mom knows that you feel uncomfortable, but so many years have passed, and now Xiaoying has found a home, you should bless others, by the way, there is a female college student who has just graduated every few days, others told me, remember to meet when the time comes."
At this moment, my whole body seemed to be held down by a pair of big hands, and my mouth was also covered, and I couldn't speak. I was terrified to the extreme, and I just wanted to speak, but I felt like my tongue was frozen, and I was so scared that tears flowed out of my eyes.
"Hey, Xiaodong, don't be sad, Mom will make you something to eat tonight."
After saying that, the mother walked out of the room and closed the door by the way.
The moment the door was closed, I suddenly regained my mobility, threw out the delicate face in my hand, and quickly wrapped myself in the quilt.
I don't know why, I feel cold, surprisingly cold.
It took me a long time to dare to look directly at the delicate face lying on the ground.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this face looked like a person, and that familiarity made my forehead sweat flow again.
I didn't think anything at this moment, I picked up my mobile phone and dialed Chen Chuyi's number.
"How's it going, young man?"
"Old man, I'm ...... I ......"
For a moment I was speechless.
"I know, you brought me that invitation, and I can get the right medicine."
Immediately, Chen Chuyi told me a place.
To be honest, I have lived in Chengdu for more than 20 years, and I am very familiar with it, but I was a little hesitant about this place that Chen Chuyi said.
Wooden Cabinet Street.
This is a well-known place in our area that specializes in white things, and my mother told me not to go to this place since I was a child, because some people used to say that there are a lot of dirty things here at night.
And there are not many people on the wooden cabinet street on weekdays, unless someone dies in a family, or they need to run errands before they go to this place.
Wooden Cabinet Street is already close to the suburbs of Chengdu, but not far from us. Looking at the delicate face that resembled Su Ying's face, I got up at that time, carefully packed this face with a bag, and then went out and went straight to Wooden Cabinet Street.
My heart was flustered all the way, thinking that my mother didn't have the slightest fear when she held this face before, and it was like really holding an invitation, but why was it a face in my hands, could it be that I really encountered dirty things, but Su Ying wouldn't hurt me, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, the taxi had already arrived at the water tank street.
Taxis don't go into the water tank street, it's an unwritten rule.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Chen Chuyi, whom I met at noon, not far away, standing there.
"Let's go, let's go inside!"
Before I could speak, Chen Chuyi seemed to know what I was going to say.
I entered a façade room, which was filled with all kinds of paper people, wreaths, mountains of gold and silver......
Chen Chuyi took me all the way up to the second floor.
As soon as I sat down, Chen Chuyi smiled and said, "Scared, right?" ”
I nodded.
"Reach out!"
As at noon, I stretched out my hand, but this time Chen Chuyi did not clasp my wrist all at once, but looked at my palm for a long time, and finally made something similar to a print, and then slowly pressed it on my wrist, just like a Chinese medicine pulse.
"Tell me about your birthday, which is your birthday!"
"The seventeenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar!"
In fact, when Chen Chuyi pressed my wrist, I was already uneasy, this feeling came from this room, and I always felt that there were more than just me and Chen Chuyi in this room.
About a minute later, Chen Chuyi let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong? Grandpa Chen......"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I didn't expect someone to be planning for you, but this person who is planning for you seems to be related to you, otherwise it would be impossible to use your own blood to lay a feng shui fate in your body, you should be twenty-four years old this year, right?"
I nodded, although there was a lot of confusion in my heart, but I couldn't ask, I had never seen this person named Chen Chuyi before, he could tell my age, and it didn't seem to be a guess.
"That's right, you are a late-born baby, you were supposed to be born on the twelfth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, but because this mysterious person laid a feng shui fate in your mother's body, it was delayed for three days, and the two veins of heaven and earth in your body were sealed."
"Did you get sick often when you were a child, and every time you got sick, you had a fever, and the high fever didn't go away, and after two days, it got better, and the friends you played with were more or less unlucky, except for one person, and that was the woman who gave you an invitation. You think about it, isn't that so? ”
I was suddenly speechless by the Chen Chuyi in front of me, if the previous age was guessed, then what I said at this moment is a true portrayal of me.
Because I am the only child in the family, and I heard my mother say that he had two children in his belly before me and did not keep them, so I have been doted on since I was a child, but I am not in good health when I am small, I often take medicine, and I am called a medicine jar, and the friends I played with in elementary school were either walking and had the same fever as me.
There are many things that only I know, for example, after getting along with Su Ying, Su Ying was not unlucky, and the friends who were with me before were more or less influenced by me, so from elementary school to junior high school graduation, I am an extremely introverted person.
So before high school, I had always studied and lived alone, until I met Su Ying when I was in high school, and it was Su Ying who broke this situation, which made me cheerful for a while, and my communication gradually broadened.
"Grandpa Chen, this ......"
Chen Chuyi waved his hand to show that he knew what I was going to ask, and then slowly lit a cigarette.
"Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly!"
