-3 Reunion after a long absence
Silkworm beads in the still lake? What is this? Also, what is the so-called 'power of the void moon'?
Just when Lu was thinking about it, the phantom of the pocket watch in her eyes gradually receded, and she stared blankly at the street lamp opposite, her eyes wandering with the moths under the lamp.
Suddenly, she jumped up from the ground and stared at the moth's wings, her eyes almost falling out.
"I ...... Can I see the patterns on the moth's wings? When did my eyesight get so good? ”
Lu Banxin's face was incredulous, and then she made a bigger discovery, her hearing seemed to have become extraordinarily sensitive, and she could actually hear the sound of the air flow when the moth's wings flapped, all this is amazing, is grandpa's old pocket watch a fetish? Otherwise, how could such a magical change happen to me, could it be that there are really fairies and monsters in this world?
Lu Banxin was surprised and delighted, if the old pocket watch changed her physique and affected her hearing and vision, then she might be able to avoid her father and go back to the basement, because only there can she uncover the mystery of the whole thing.
Thinking of this, Lu Banxin exhaled hard, although the fear could not be overcome for a while, she still gritted her teeth and slowly walked in the direction of home.
It took more than half an hour to get back to Sifang Street.
Standing at the corner of the street, Lu Banxin adjusted his state, and the person clinged to the eaves and stepped on the familiar bluestone pavement.
Suddenly, a palpitating sound quickly penetrated Lu Banxin's eardrums, and she heard a 'rustling' sound, just like countless rats hiding in the dark and secretly gnawing on the wooden board, the sound made people feel cold all over the body, and the pores of Lu Banxin's whole body stood up instantly. Not only that, but she also discovered that the sound didn't come from somewhere, but slowly seeped out of the ground.
Lu Banxin hurriedly stopped his feet.
On the other hand, she wanted to go back to the basement to see if her grandfather had left any clues so that she could solve the mystery herself.
On the other side, reason told her that she couldn't go back, once she embarked on this road, she would probably never be able to walk out again, this was no longer the Sifang Street she was familiar with, but a Huangquan Road leading to the underworld.
Lu Banxin took back the foot that had stepped out, and as soon as the foot was lifted away from the low surface, the sound actually disappeared.
"Huh? What's going on? ”
Puzzled, she tried to put her foot out again, but it rang again.
This discovery shocked Lu Banxin.
One foot in the world, one foot in hell, it seems that it is not only my own home, I am afraid that the entire square street hides a big secret.
The little hope and confidence that Lu Banxin had left was gone, she quickly retreated, hiding in the corridor of a residential building in the distance, staring at the street with half of her head exposed, and silently thought in her heart: What is Grandpa guarding? Are the people here really the same familiar neighbors they once were? Is a father still a father?
And, next...... What am I going to do?
The time has pointed to three o'clock in the morning, and the people who sleep late have already fallen asleep, Lu Banxin hid in the dark, shrunk and motionless, after a night of fright, her spirit was already very tired, and she barely fell asleep after a while.
This night, Lu Banxin did not sleep steadily, and had a lot of terrible dreams, in which she saw her grandfather.
Grandpa stood at the door of the 'Evergreen Grocery Store' with a cane, looking at himself with a smile, and suddenly a bloody hand pierced out of Grandpa's chest, and a bloody man who couldn't see clearly pierced Grandpa's body directly.
Lu Banxin also dreamed of his father. He was standing on the roof of a building, half of his body hanging in the air, Lu Banxin was extremely frightened, and desperately shouted at him, "Dad, Dad......"
But Lu Dahai didn't hear his daughter's shout, he jumped and jumped from the top of the building, and the blue sky behind him was instantly flooded with blood.
The bloody bodies of her grandfather and father kept changing alternately in Lu Banxin's mind, she struggled desperately with her eyes closed, but she couldn't wake up, and it wasn't until there was a tingling pain in the center of her eyebrows that she finally opened her eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was a beam of white light, Lu Banxin turned his head slightly, half-squinted his eyes and looked at the light source, only to see a young man in a white coat looking at him with burning eyes, twisting a silver needle in his left hand and holding a syringe in his right hand.
Lu Banxin suddenly fell asleep, pushed away the white coat, and asked with a shrunken voice, "...... What do you want? ”
"This is waking up? I'm going to give you a shot. The white coat said gently.
"I'm not sick, I don't have any injections, and I don't have the money to pay for medicine."
Lu Banxin turned over and got out of bed, and quickly observed the surroundings, this is a very well-decorated ward, a large LCD TV, two American-style single sofas, some potted plants on the window sill on the left, a Western painting on the right wall, a mahogany floor on the ground, and the crystal lamp above the head looks extremely luxurious.
Just glanced at it, Lu Banxin wanted to die, who has nothing to do to learn to do good deeds and carry himself to the hospital? Don't you know I'm poor? Who can live in such a high-end ward?
No, I have to slip away, now I have no money, I don't have my mobile phone, and I can't contact my father......
Thinking of her father, the scene encountered in the basement came back to her mind, Lu Banxin's face changed in an instant, and anxiety and tension completely engulfed her in an instant.
The white coat saw that Lu Banxin's mood was wrong, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you don't have to pay." ”
Lu Banxin was stunned for a moment, said thank you, sat back on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, what time is it?" ”
The white coat's expression looked a little surprised, and he didn't answer the rhetorical question: "You...... Don't know me anymore? ”
Lu Banxin said suspiciously: "Should I know you?" ”
"That's right, you were too young at the time, and it's normal that you can't recognize me now." The white coat put away the syringe and silver needle, pointed to the name tag on his chest, and said with a smile: "I am Zhu Heng, the celebration of Zhu, the eternal Heng." ”
"Celebration of Celebration, Eternal ......"
The long and familiar introduction suddenly pulled Lu Banxin's thoughts back to many years ago.
Not long after Lu Banxin's tenth birthday that year, one day, his grandfather suddenly brought back a boy from outside, he was Zhu Heng, and he introduced his name as he does now.
I heard my grandfather say that the Zhu family originally lived in Sifang Street, and the relationship between the two families was very good, but after Zhu Heng was born, the family moved out of Sifang Street in order to facilitate his schooling, and the contact between the two families gradually decreased.
It wasn't until that year that Zhu Heng's parents had a car accident, and the two of them were admitted to the intensive care unit one after another.
Zhu Heng lived in the Lu family for more than half a year, during which he experienced the death of his mother, and his father was forced to amputate his leg because of serious injuries.
Zhu Heng's reappearance made Lu Banxin feel as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she hugged Zhu Heng and couldn't control her crying anymore.
