Chapter 19: The Oath Under the Moon
Lin Chen told Xu Aqi all the things he had encountered in the past few days, as well as the strange stories about the well that the fat man said.
Xu Aqi stared at Lin Chen tightly, she could feel that when Lin Chen was talking about these things, his breathing became rapid and heavy because of nervousness. She could also feel that her chest was rising and falling sharply as a listener.
She knew that Lin Chen was a relatively calm person, those things that had no shadows, those things that were not boundary, he would not say it casually!
However, she still finds Lin Chen's so-called bizarre experiences unbelievable.
Xu Aqi gently rubbed her eyebrows, pretending to be calm.
"I don't believe it! Where could such a bizarre thing happen! What a woman in black on the subway, an old lady with a jade ring, and what hair in the well! The story is too scary! ”
Then, after a moment of contemplation, she narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly.
"You're not trying to tease me, are you! Arouse my curiosity to move in with you in this spooky wooded apartment! Good for you to cook, wash smelly socks, you know I'm naturally bold! Curious about everything, right? ”
Lin Chen bowed forward slightly, and said with a smile: "You really look down on me!" I'm just telling you the truth, I've found that you're actually more imaginative than I am! I've imagined it so tricky! Just to trick you, a kind little girl, into washing my smelly socks, I can make up a novel! ”
The waiter brought a plate of freshly wrapped sea bass in tin foil, and when the tin foil was removed, the sea bass with sauce flowing all over the body "sizzled", and the smell of fragrant smell was mouth-watering.
Lin Chen pointed at the perch with chopsticks, "You only remember to help me wash my stinky socks and help me cook!" Ay! Think again! What you call cooking for me is nothing more than steaming rice, what about me? I'm not idle! I've made you delicious sea bass, delicious fried squid with sauce! ”
Xu Aqi leaned her nose forward and took a deep breath, "Fragrant!" This fish smells so appetizing! With that, he took a piece of fish and put it on his plate, and ate it with his head down.
Lin Chen said: "Actually, I hesitated for a long time before telling you these things!" Don't talk about you, if it weren't for my own experience, even I wouldn't believe it! To this day, I'm still wondering if I really have the hysteria that the man in the subway said! ”
"You! Doubt it! Nine times out of ten, I have hysteria! Don't be foolish, let's eat fish! Fish should be eaten hot! ”
Lin Chen also took a piece of fish and put it on the plate, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "But, it's not right!" If it's my own fault, then what the taxi driver told me was he hysterious? The hair in the well and the woman's face that the fat man told me about were hatched by the fat man? Did the villagers come up with it? Do we all have hysteria? Is the disease still contagious? ”
"Wait! I'll Baidu it! ”
Xu Aqi took out her mobile phone and quickly checked it.
The answer came out quickly, and Xu Aqi read it according to Baidu's explanation.
"Hysteria is a disorder in which different causes disrupt the relatively stable functional state of the brain within a certain range, resulting in abnormal mental activity! I didn't say that the disease was contagious! ”
"I hope it's hysteria, or else, it's too scary! It's true! Lin Chen said.
"Isn't hysteria scary?" Xu Aqi took a sip of dark beer and continued to flip through her mobile phone, when suddenly she stared at her mobile phone and said nervously, "Lin Chen, could it be schizophrenia?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you're schizophrenic! You won't think I'm good! ”
Lin Chen glanced at Xu Aqi, picked up another piece of fish and put it in his bowl.
Xu Aqi put away the phone, frowned, and took a deep breath, the sound of inhaling was more exaggerated.
"What's up! Don't be surprised! Lin Chen said.
"If it's not your own reason, there's only one answer, it's really what happened! If it's really like you said, I feel a chill in my back! I'm so scared! ”
"Boom! I said you don't believe this man! I said you're scared! With your guts, you're still too lazy to ask me to talk about it! ”
"I'm going to get a talisman! I'm going to get you one, too, the kind that wants to be consecrated. Amitabha, please bless the Bodhisattva!"
Xu Aqi said, clasped her hands, closed her eyes slightly, and whispered a few words of prayer in her mouth, looking very pious.
Lin Chen poured himself a full glass of dark beer and asked unremittingly, "Is it useful?" I see, you better hurry up and eat the fish! ”
"It's going to work!"
"Every time I go to the temple, I always see people burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, how many of them don't know the miracle?"
Seeing the rich white foam of the dark beer spilling out of the cup little by little, Lin Chen picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Refreshing! It's still a dark beer! ”
"Don't just drink, I said, what do you think?" Xu Aqi said.
"You issued an order, what else do I dare to say! Okay, I'll go back to the temple with you, let's eat, the food is almost cold! ”
The waiter served a few more dishes, and Lin Chen moved the plate to Xu Aqi's side, "Don't just say, eat!" It doesn't matter how long or heavy you are, you can't walk, I carry you! ”
"It doesn't matter how long it is! I don't believe it! Grow up like a fat pig, do you still want me? I don't believe it!"
"O woman! I just don't understand men! In fact, men still like fat women! Ah no, it's a little fatter, I don't understand, why do you women look like wolves, do you think it's skinny, beautiful? Touching his hands, lying next to him, and calling the man to have nightmares! ”
Xu Aqi poured beer for herself and Lin Chen, and Lin Chen picked up the wine glass, "Come, cheers, for your return, for my quick unemployment, for our happiness, come and have a drink!" ”
"You're about to lose your job?"
"Not yet, it's almost there, if he doesn't quit me, I'll leave automatically!"
"What's wrong? Fighting with your boss again? ”
"It's boring, that dog's day, if there's something, if it's okay, you like to put pressure on me, whole person! Who wouldn't! Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, in the future, it may not be who will fix whom! It's a matter of time before you leave, and it's not necessarily a bad thing! ”
"It's the history you said. . . I don't remember what it was called! ”
"Hmmm! That's him! If you can't remember, call him Krone! ”
Xu Aqi: "Poof! A laugh aloud.
"Is there a leader you call yourself that? If I were your leader, I would fire you sooner or later! ”
"Hmmm! Shoot it off, fire it off! Fortunately, I'm still young, so it's not hard to find a job! ”
After speaking, Lin Chen raised his head, "Goo Dong, Goo Dong" poured a whole glass of wine, poured himself a full glass, raised his head, and went down again.
Wine is indeed a good thing, although the alcohol content of beer is very low, it also stimulates the nerves, and Lin Chen feels a lot more refreshed mentally and physically.
It's just that his stomach is a little distended, he burped, covered his mouth, looked at Xu Aqi embarrassedly, and poured himself another glass of wine.
"That's it! Don't drink it!"
Xu Aqi took Lin Chen's wine glass with her hand, "In two days, let's go to Yunfu Temple, put on incense, and make a wish!" ”
"Good! Give me the wine, it's nothing, it's like drinking a soda. Don't worry, I won't get drunk! ”
Xu Aqi was helpless and handed back the wine glass full of wine.
Lin Chen drank a few more glasses of wine, ate a meal, and walked out of the restaurant, Lin Chen was a little tired!
Outside, the fog rose after the rain, and the night was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, like a Danqing skillful hand, painting everything in the curtain with a layer of mysterious color.
He crossed his ten fingers, put his arms on Xu Aqi's shoulder, and put his chin on Xu Aqi's head, and said quietly, "When can I see your father and mother?"
When Lin Chen spoke, the hot air with the smell of wine from his mouth and nose blew under Xu Aqi's ears, itching.
Xu Aqi smiled and straightened back, resting her head on his shoulder, and didn't speak.
"Will you marry me?"
Lin Chen hugged Xu Aqi.
"Well, this isn't a church, so why are you so serious? Like a priest!"
"I may be unemployed, or I may be haunted by ghosts, I have a gut feeling, it's not to scare you, it's true!"
Lin Chen let go of his hand and walked towards the residence with Xu Aqi in his arms.
"If you are unemployed and find a job, if you are really haunted by ghosts, there must be a reason. We find the reason, I think there is always a head for injustice, there is always a master of debts, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, find a solution, maybe you can escape! ”
"Follow me, aren't you afraid?"
"If I don't follow you, I'm even more afraid, it's better not to be afraid than to be afraid, at least I can give myself confidence and courage!"
"Aki.."
Lin Chen stopped, his eyes were dark and bright, as if the stars in the sky were all contained in them.
"What?"
"Love you!"
Lin Chen's voice was not loud, Xu Aqi heard it clearly, but she didn't hear it, she looked at Lin Chen, and a little smile accumulated in her eyes, "Say it again!" Didn't hear clearly! ”
"Love you! Love you! Is this time around? ”
Xu Aqi turned around and looked up, Lin Chen was looking at him affectionately.
"These two words, I've been waiting for a long time..."
After pausing for a while, Xu Aqi said softly.
"Really? Looks like I should have told you earlier! Well, how long have you waited?"
Lin Chen asked with his hand holding Xu Aqi's face.
"Maybe a century? Probably two centuries ... Or maybe three centuries. ”
"Perhaps, I've been looking for a long time!"
"The view is so beautiful tonight!"
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it takes fate to encounter, and the same goes for people!"
"Do you believe in the fate of people and people? In the past life, in this life, in the next?"
"Your little brain thinks so much!"
"We are destined, maybe it was destined in our previous lives!"
"I loved you in my previous life, I loved you in this life, and I will continue in my next life! This is my vow! ”
Lin Chen didn't think about it, and the words he said were so sour that he was a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly red.
Xu Aqi's heart seemed to have been suddenly pulled by someone, and he suddenly forgot to beat, and when he reacted, he said, "Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly!" The ground was beating wildly.
"I'll thank you for the rest of my life, and I'll be the third life? People say that they would rather believe in stolen things than in men's broken mouths. The third life loves me alone, don't you get tired of it?"
"No, never love enough!"
"Huh!"
"Don't laugh! I'm serious! ”
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Alright then, then really!"
Lin Chen grabbed Xu Aqi's shoulders again and walked towards the residence, and the two of them whispered as they walked.
Xu Aqi's hand was raised unintentionally, and he grabbed a handful in the air, as if he was full of happiness when he caught it.
It was not the fifteenth day, but the moon in the sky was so big and bright.
It was truly a wonderful full moon night.
