Chapter 2 Are You Human?
I was frightened by Liu's blind man's words, my heart was cold, my mind reacted a little, and it took a long time before I remembered to ask him if there was any way to save him.
Liu Blind shook his head and said: "Everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone, and there is no solution, there is no solution." ”
I almost cried and said, "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Is it true that you can't do anything but wait for death? ”
Liu Blind was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven." ”
First, on my birthday, I don't eat, sleep, or go out. Even if it rains outside, even if the presidents of the United States and Russia invite them to dinner, they will have to wait until their birthdays.
Second, child urine is required. It's simple, I have it myself. But the blind man Liu said, you can't do it yourself, you have to find the urine of a boy under the age of twelve.
Third, find some mud from a hundred-year-old grave, use the urine of a child, and dilute it, and apply it all over the body.
"I hope it works." Blind Liu said uncertainly, "Remember, when you go to dig the mud in the hundred-year-old grave, it must be at night, and then immediately sealed in a glass bottle, and never bask in the sun." ”
When I came out of Liu's blind man's house, night had just fallen, and my heart was gloomy.
The thought of going to the barren mountains and mountains in the middle of the night to dig a century-old grave made me shudder.
The thought of smearing the mud with the child's urine all over my body made me nauseous.
Crucially, it's not necessarily useful.
But no matter what, I had to try it head-on.
After all, it's better to die than to live, isn't it? I'll admit, I'm still scared of death.
I was so depressed that I almost bumped into a skinny old man downstairs.
The old man carried a pair of bamboo baskets with a few vegetable leaves in them, as if he had just returned from selling vegetables.
"What are you doing here?" The old man looked at me with cloudy eyes and said.
I said I was here to find Liu's blind man.
"Which Liu is blind?" The old man asked again.
I said, do you have a lot of blind people here? It's the blind man on the fourth floor.
The old man said, "Well, you haven't found it, have you?" Didn't anyone tell you that blind Liu had been dead for a year? There was no one in his family, and it took more than half a month to find out that his body was already stinking. ”
After speaking, the old man walked on tiptoe and humming a little song into the depths of the alley, and the two bamboo baskets swayed and soon disappeared into the darkness.
I felt that my feet were a little soft, I almost couldn't stand, and my stomach contracted for a while, and I wanted to vomit a little.
I wanted to run, but I couldn't lift my feet.
I wanted to sit down, but I was afraid that a hand would suddenly reach out and grab my feet.
Looking back, the red brick house was swarthy, thinking it was a monster, and Liu's blind man's house couldn't see the situation clearly, and there was no light at all.
It is true that the blind do not need light in the first place.
I suddenly wanted to go back and confirm if Blind Liu was really dead.
Because, I want to make sure that the method he told me is true.
But looking at the swarthy building and the black staircase, I was scared.
To go, or not to go?
Go upstairs, or go home?
I took a few steps in the direction of home, and then suddenly turned around.
But when I got to the top of the stairs, I stopped again.
The staircase of the black hole is like the mouth of a demon.
My heart was beating so fast that I heard it "thump".
I turned around and headed home.
But a voice in my heart said to me, "You yourself are going to die, what are you afraid of?" ”
I turned around again and hurried into the staircase.
It's dark inside, and you can't see your fingers.
I took out my phone, turned it on, and with the help of the low light of the screen, grabbed the handrail and went upstairs.
I walked very lightly, for fear that the sound of my footsteps would wake up my sleeping soul in the darkness.
The sound of a heartbeat echoes in the hollow stairwell.
The scalp seems to be a little numb.
The closer I got to the fourth floor, the slower and hesitant I went.
There was a voice in my heart that made me feel like running.
I didn't run.
I went up to the fourth floor.
There is an iron door at the corner of the stairs, and inside the iron door is the corridor in front of Liu's blind man's house.
I hesitated in front of the tin door for a long time, and finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stretched out my hand and slowly pushed the tin door open.
At this point, my heart seemed to forget to beat.
The rusty tin door makes a "tink" sound, as if a demon from hell is chewing on the bones of a living person.
I felt that my scalp was very tight and it was difficult to breathe.
What will I see?
"Why are you back again?" When I finally stepped through the tin door with two feet, I heard the voice of the blind man Liu.
My phone almost fell to the floor.
"Did you forget something?" Liu's blind voice said again.
He was still sitting in the doorway as he had done during the day, and I couldn't see his person clearly, only a vague outline.
I didn't relax at all, but became more nervous, and I didn't know what to say?
Blind Liu spoke again: "Do you still have any questions?" ”
"Are you a human or a ghost?" I asked him bluntly, and suddenly I felt that I was not afraid of anything, as if I was paralyzed by fear.
Blind Liu didn't answer me, so he was silent.
Why didn't he smoke his hookah?
Why is the stove next to him extinguished?
He...... Why didn't he breathe?
"Are you a human or a ghost?" I asked him again.
He still didn't answer, still silent.
Run now, I don't know if it's too late?
"Did you meet a skinny old man downstairs?" Blind Liu finally spoke, "He is still carrying two baskets, as if he is selling vegetables?" ”
I said, "Yes." ”
Liu Blind said: "His name is Lao Wang, and he lives in a small house in the alley and rents it. He lives with his wife and two sons. Last winter, when it was very cold, he burned a coal stove like mine in the house. And then...... At night, the gas poisoned, and all four members of the family died. ”
My mouth was wide open, I couldn't speak, and I knew that I must have felt like I was going to be a fool at that time.
Liu Blind said again: "But Lao Wang still doesn't know that he is dead, and he still goes to sell vegetables every day, goes out before dawn, and comes back when it gets dark." His wife and two sons didn't know they were dead and waited for him to come home every day in that small house. ”
I don't know who to believe.
I turned around and ran downstairs, then fell to my knees, vomiting and not getting anything out.
I only held back tears all over my face.
It took me a long time to wipe away my tears, and I quickly escaped from the red brick house and called a motorbike back to my home.
My home is in Junfa City, which is only five kilometers away.
When I got home, I retched again.
Then, I immediately got dressed and got under the covers.
Tears flowed wildly, my heart beat wildly, and I screamed silently for my mother.
But no one answered me.
It took a long, long time for me to calm down.
Then, I quickly remembered the 100-year-old grave.
Now the question is, do I still believe Liu's words?
Do I still want to dig up the mud in the hundred-year-old grave in the middle of the night?
Is Liu Blind a ghost?
Or is that old king a ghost?
Or are both ghosts?
I'm not sure at all.
I thought of Li Xiaogang again.
He has always been in contact with Blind Liu, didn't he find anything abnormal?
Or, even Li Xiaogang is the same as Liu Blind?
I suddenly thought, how can it be as if I am the only one in this world?
I don't have time, and if I want to dig up the mud from a century-old grave, I'll have to do it tonight.
Because tomorrow night after twelve o'clock, it's my birthday, and it will definitely be too late.
One kilometer next to Junfa City is Junfa City Primary School.
Behind Junfa City Primary School, there is a barren mountain.
On that barren hill, there were several old graves, overgrown with weeds, and the moss-covered tombstones had also collapsed. It is said that those tombs were originally a family with a history of more than 100 years.
There are very terrifying legends about those tombs.
Some people say that they saw ghost fire.
Some people say they hear women crying.
Some say they saw an old man sitting on a tombstone smoking a cigarette pouch.
A hundred meters in front of the grave, there were originally two or three families living in the kind of tiled houses with stone slabs and walls. Later, the families moved away, and it is said that they couldn't stand the fright.
Am I really going to such a horrible place?
And, only for the sake of that hope, which may not exist.
