Chapter 30: The Gray-Haired Mad Woman
"Yes, Grandma." Xiaoyu looked at Meng Xiang innocently.
"And how did you get in? Did grandma open the door for you? Meng Xiang hurriedly asked.
Xiaoyu made a shushing gesture and whispered: "I have a secret signal with grandma, if I knock on the door, grandma will open it for me." ”
Meng Xiang looked at Xiaoyu in disbelief, full of curiosity about the third floor, he saw that he hadn't come that day and said, "Can Xiaoyu take my uncle to meet grandma?" ”
Xiaoyu looked at Meng Xiang and crooked his neck and thought about it and said, "Well, but you can't tell Dad and Grandpa, because this is my secret with Grandma." ”
"Well, my uncle promised Xiaoyu that he would not tell them." After Meng Xiang finished speaking, he pulled up Xiaoyu and walked towards the door.
He always felt that something was wrong with that house, but he couldn't say it himself. Thinking about Na Shihong's attitude towards himself just now and his appearance after seeing the light rain that day, Meng Xiang even wanted to take a look on the third floor.
He picked up Xiaoyu and crept up the stairs on the third floor. Coming to the door where the paint was mottled and peeling, Meng Xiang gently put Xiaoyu down, and he motioned for Xiaoyu to call the door.
Xiaoyu nodded at him obediently, put his right hand on the door panel, clenched his fist with his left hand, knocked three times on the back of his right hand, spread his left hand on the door panel, and knocked three times on the back of his left hand with his right fist.
After knocking on the door, Xiaoyu turned around and grabbed Meng Xiang's hand.
The door slowly opened, and there was no sound at all, but a cold wind blew from inside, making Meng Xiang tremble a little.
Xiaoyu looked up at Meng Xiang and pulled him inside, but the dim and cold room was a little difficult to see.
Meng Xiang was afraid that something would happen to Xiaoyu, so he picked Xiaoyu up. As soon as he stepped into the room, the door slammed shut.
The room was large, and the surrounding windows were covered with black flannel.
Through the dim light, Meng Xiang vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person sitting in the middle of the room.
Xiaoyu pointed to the front and said, "That's grandma." ”
"You're here!" The person sitting in the chair lowered his head and suddenly said a word, which frightened Meng Xiang and hurriedly took a step back.
"Uncle don't be afraid, grandma won't hurt you." Xiaoyu touched Meng Xiang's head and motioned for him to let him down.
Meng Xiang looked at Xiaoyu with some suspicion, and then at the figure sitting on the chair in front of him, and put Xiaoyu down uneasily.
Xiaoyu walked forward, turning back and beckoning Meng Xiang to follow him.
Meng Xiang cautiously followed Xiaoyu as he walked and stopped, he looked at everything around him with his eyes, it was empty, there was nothing. After walking a few steps and looking ahead, it was a little clear, an old woman with snow-white hair was sitting quietly on a chair in the middle of the room, wearing a black cheongsam, and her two hands on the armrests of the chair.
"Who are you?" Meng Xiang stopped about five meters away from this person, squinted at this person and asked.
Xiaoyu didn't stop until she walked in front of the man.
The white-haired old woman did not answer Meng Xiang's words, but raised her hand and touched Xiaoyu's head, and then Meng Xiang saw clearly that there was an iron ring locked on both of her wrists, and a thick iron chain was attached to the iron ring, which was held on the ground and went to the wall on the side, and there was an iron sculpture of a monster on the wall, with a mouth full of blood, and the iron chain was drilled out of the monster's mouth.
Meng Xiang gradually adjusted to the dim light here, and he hurriedly looked around, there were four monster heads on the wall, and four iron chains drilled out of the four mouths, locked on her hands and feet.
Xiaoyu ran back to the corner of Meng Xiang's clothes, he came back to his senses, looking at the locked old woman in front of him, he had mixed emotions, scared and pitiful for her.
"Who are you?" The old woman asked, looking up.
Meng Xiang picked up Xiaoyu and did not answer.
"Hahaha, it's all liars! It's all liars! The old woman suddenly laughed and stood up, shook her arms and kicked her legs, trying to break free from the chains.
But as soon as she struggled, the mouths of the four monsters spat out a stream of red, blue, yellow, and white light that rushed towards the old woman's hands and feet.
I saw her scream twice in pain, and then fell back into the chair.
Meng Xiang looked at her painful appearance, sad and afraid, and he asked, "Old family, who are you?" How can you be locked here? ”
The old woman looked up, her white hair covering half of her face. She looked at Meng Xiang, took a deep breath and said, "What's the use of knowing who I am?" I've been locked in these four beasts for more than 20 years, and who can remember who I am? ”
"Uncle, grandma can't stand up, and when she does, she will be photographed by the chains." Xiaoyu looked at the old woman with some sadness and said to Meng Xiang, "Uncle, can you save grandma?" ”
Meng Xiang glanced at Xiaoyu and said to the old woman, "Who locked you here?" ”
The old woman stared at Meng Xiang in a daze, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, she ignored the electric waves spit out from the mouths of the four monsters, got up from the chair, shouted frantically, and roared with words in her mouth: "Walking in the sky, the eyebrows are bumpy, the number of ups and downs is inevitable, the dream meets the Po Sao tree, and the drunken look at Luojia Mountain." The moonlit night sighs that the Xuandu is cold, the golden wind should feel the old wings cold, and the future is blamed on the light of the eyes, who will solve the six Zens in the future. ”
Meng Xiang watched the old woman struggle so painfully, tears couldn't help but appear in his eyes, he couldn't say why, his heart was very sad, no matter what the reason, for a person to suffer so much here, it was a great torment for this person, it was better to die.
Meng Xiang really wanted to help her, but he knew that he didn't have such great strength, and the four beast heads on the wall, he could see that they were Chaos, Han Qi, and Gluttony, as well as the ancestor of his poor Qi clan, Qi Qi, who could use the head shaping of these four evil gods to lock up a person, and he was definitely not a simple person.
Just when Meng Xiang didn't know how to decide, the door was pushed open with a bang. Na Shihong stood outside the door and looked at Meng Xiang inside angrily.
The old woman laughed even more wantonly when she saw Na Shihong enter, and four currents continued to hit her body, and each time she struck, she screamed in pain, but her mouth still kept repeating the words she had just recited.
Na Shihong walked quickly to Meng Xiang, and without waiting for Meng Xiang to reflect, he grabbed the back of his neck and pushed him out of the room holding Xiaoyu.
The old woman laughed even more wildly, and finally fell down on the chair and cried, the tone of the laughter with crying was particularly sad, and Meng Xiang, who withdrew from the door, was completely unaware of Na Shihong's resentment.
Na Shihong slammed the door shut, locked it with the key, and said viciously to Meng Xiang: "Director Meng, come to the living room!" ”
He took Xiaoyu from Meng Xiang's hand, turned around and went downstairs.
Meng Xiang was stunned there, and then ran up that day, he looked at the closed door, and then at Meng Xiang, and asked softly, "You went in just now?" ”
Meng Xiang nodded a little, and said a little angrily that day: "He has always been the most taboo about people coming in this place, even if I have never entered, you are a little too much." ”
Meng Xiang slowly turned his head to look at the day and said sadly: "Who is that person inside, don't you really know?" ”
That day he sighed and said, "What if you know?" Let's go down first, my dad must be waiting for us downstairs. ”
After leaving that day, Meng Xiang looked back at the door again, he could imagine how lonely it would be to stay in it alone, he could even imagine the pain of staying in it for so many years, living alone for so many years, he would often feel lonely if he was not locked up, let alone a person who was locked up. But he couldn't do anything, it was a matter at home that day, he couldn't just meddle in it, all he could do now was get out of here.
The atmosphere in the living room was solemn, that day and Meng Xiang sat on one side, Na Shihong sat on the other side, Xiaoyu sat on Na Shihong's lap a little sleepy, and yawned twice.
"Director Meng, how did you get into that room?" Na Shihong's voice was a little dissatisfied.
Meng Xiang looked at Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu yawned and squeezed his eyes at him, he knew that Xiaoyu was unwilling to let him tell the secret between him and his grandmother, so he said casually: "I saw the door open and went in." ”
That Shihong slapped the table, startling the Xiaoyu beside him, and he said sharply: "I knew it was her!" Called in the morning the light rain, and now call you again! ”
"Uncle, who is that person above? Why did you lock her up there? Who locked her up? How could there be such a powerful mana? Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask a series of questions.
Glancing at Meng Xiang that day, he knew that he had asked questions that he shouldn't have asked, for fear that Na Shihong would be angry at him.
Na Shihong clenched his fists tightly, frowned angrily, and he lowered his voice and said, "That's the mother of that day, my wife!" ”
"Auntie?" Meng Xiang turned his head to look at that day in some surprise, only to see that his eyes were already red that day, and he looked at Na Shihong again, and more doubts welled up in his heart.
"What did my aunt do wrong? Do this to her? What exactly did you do to her? Meng Xiang was a little heartbroken for that day, he understood too well the feelings of a son who couldn't face his mother.
"This doesn't seem to be your business." Na Shihong said politely.
"But that's what I'm supposed to do!"
Standing up that day, tears on his cheeks, he said excitedly: "Over the years, you have never allowed me to step into that room, and you have not allowed me to see my mother once, what did she do wrong?" You're going to torture her like this? ”
"You don't understand at all!" Na Shihong also stood up.
"I don't understand!" That day yelled: "But I am her son, I have the right to know!" ”
"Good! I'll tell you today, there is a woman who is enchanted right now, and I asked someone to lock her up with the four evil beasts of ancient times, otherwise she would have harmed others or would have been killed by others! Na Shihong said sharply: "I don't let you see her, because I'm afraid that she will hurt you, if my protection of you is also wrong, then I will let it be wrong to the end!" ”
"How can a person who is locked up by mana hurt me! Even if she is enchanted, she is still my mother, don't I have the right to look at her? He yelled disbelievingly that day.
"I said you would never be allowed to step into that room, you would never be allowed, not so much!" After speaking, Na Shihong shook his sleeves and left.
At this time, Pan Yang happened to come back from outside, she saw that Xiaoyu was a little sleepy on the sofa, so she came over to pick up Xiaoyu, looked at that day, and then looked at Na Shihong, who went back to the room, and knew that the two of them were quarreling again.
She whispered to that day: "The matter is done, I will send Xiaoyu back to the room to sleep first." ”
Pan Yang was just about to leave with Xiaoyu in his arms, Xiaoyu rubbed his eyes and said to Meng Xiang: "Uncle, you must find a way to save grandma, she is very pitiful." ”
Meng Xiang didn't know what to say, so he could only smile at Xiaoyu helplessly.
Pan Yang touched Xiaoyu's head and said softly, "Xiaoyu is sleepy, shall we go up to sleep first?" ”
She nodded at Meng Xianghe and went up to the second floor with Xiaoyu in her arms.
