How would you feel if someone you lived with a few days ago didn't see you for a few days, and when you met again, you found that this person was suddenly twenty or thirty years old?

It's a matter of great thought.

Wen Qing felt a deep fear because this person was the person she had personally experienced!

I don't know how long it took for Wen Qing to recover.

"You... You... Is it Master Zhu Laobaba? ”

"How do you... It's just a few days, and it's so old? How did you get so old? ”

That old man is none other than Zhu Laoba, who has disappeared for a few days!

When Wen Qing went to Yizhuang, she saw Zhu Laoba for the first time, and she saw that he was about fifty years old, and at most no more than fifty-five years old.

But looking at him now, he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old!

A person's face will change with age, especially from infancy to adulthood, and after adulthood, the person's appearance will change less and less, and in old age, it will basically not change!

So Wen Qing can be sure at a glance that this old man is Zhu Laoba!

His face was covered with wrinkles like dead tree bark, and he looked old, but his eyes were bright and radiant, and they radiated a strange light!

Zhu Lao said, "How did I become so old?" Do you still need to ask such a simple thing? ”

Wen Qing was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to say, this was completely beyond her imagination, was it simple? She didn't find it easy at all!

Zhu Laoba continued, "Aren't people like this when they get older? Isn't it all about getting old? ”

Wen Qing shook her head, "You know I don't mean this!" ”

Zhu Laoba said, "Then which one are you referring to?" ”

Wen Qing stared at Zhu Laoba's face seriously, trying to see something from his withered old face, but she didn't see anything, that face was so real!

She suddenly asked, "You... It can't be disguise, right? ”

"Disguise?"

Zhu Laoba seemed to be a little confused when he heard these two words, and he repeated them twice.

"Why do you think I'm transfigured?"

Wen Qing was also a little surprised, looking at Zhu Laoba's serious expression, hadn't he done such a thing, or had he forgotten it?

Wen Qing reminded him, "On the streets of Luoyang City, you disguised yourself as a fortune teller and gave me three tips, and then in the prison of the Criminal Department, you disguised yourself as a member of the Criminal Department and told me the story of your apprentice Xie Yu. ”

"Still don't remember?"

Zhu Laoba asked rhetorically, "This is what you call disguise?" ”

Wen Qing said, "Whatever, anyway, if you pretend to be someone else, I don't recognize it at all!" ”

Zhu Laoba said lightly, "So you think I'm like this because I'm disguised?" What if I told you that it was true? The so-called disguise and disguise you see are all fake, because the disguised person you see does not exist at all! ”

"He's all doing it!"

Wen Qing listened to it in a fog, and she digested Zhu Laoba's words well, meaning that the fortune teller she saw on the street of Luoyang City, Zhu Laoba in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the traveling merchant who disappeared in the pavilion outside the city did not exist? So what did she see? Ghosts?

Wen Qing took out the bag and note from her belt.

"You gave it to me! How can a non-existent person give me a physical object? This is a real thing! ”

Also, who is that "he" you're talking about? ”

"Didn't I say that? He is me, I am him! The "he" you see is actually me twenty or thirty years ago! ”

Zhu Laoba didn't look at the brocade bag in her hand, he stood up from the Taishi chair, then walked to the bamboo curtain, raised his head and looked at the windless automatic bells!

He just kept looking up at the bells!

Standing up, he looked even older, Wen Qing saw him trying to stand up with his hunched back, and suddenly became a little worried, his back would not be broken!

And yet he kept looking up for a while!

Suddenly, he reached over and grasped the red thread with the bell in one hand!

He grabbed the bells!! The bells that were still shaking stopped instantly!

He just held it motionlessly, and after more than ten seconds, he let go of his hand, and the bell began to shake again, making a "jingling" sound!

Zhu Laoba returned to the Taishi chair and lay down, Wen Qing noticed that in just a moment, he seemed to be much older again!

"I see!" He said!

Wen Qing walked over and learned from Zhu Laoba, she reached under the bell, she didn't hold those bells like Zhu Laoba, those bells passed through her palm again!

"Why?"

Wen Qing turned her head to Zhu Laoba.

"Why do these bells go through the palm of my hand?"

Zhu Laoba said, "That's the voice that guided me home, except for me, no one can stop those voices!" ”

Guidelines... The sound of coming home?

Wen Qing quickly retracted her hand, and when the bell stopped, the sound would stop!

The sound doesn't stop! The bells won't stop!

So, she can't touch the bells?

She was still wrestling with the bells.

Zhu Laoba suddenly asked, "What's special about you... Place? ”

Wen Qing didn't know what he meant by asking, and suddenly shifted from one topic to another unrelated topic, and she didn't turn a corner!

"What's special? I don't have anything special! It's just an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary! ”

Zhu Laoba shook his head, "If you're just an ordinary person, then why does he like you so much?" ”

He refers to Zhu Laoba in his fifties, that is, Zhu Laoba who met in Yizhuang!

Now this Zhu Laoba is Zhu Laoba twenty or thirty years later...

It means that she met two Zhu Laoba? A middle-aged Zhu Laoba, an old Zhu Laoba...

Wen Qing even felt for a while that the Zhu Laoba in front of her was suffering from schizophrenia?

But the bells that could pass through her palms and the dense eyeballs in the alcoves told her that he wasn't crazy, and that maybe... It's true?

Zhu Laoba likes her? She can't feel it! She has only been with him for more than ten days, and the age difference between the two is so great......

Wen Qing didn't know how to answer!

And Zhu Laoba seemed to have guessed what she thought!

"When I say like, it's not the kind of like you think, he won't like you at all, let alone like you!"

"He's defending you everywhere and helping you, if it weren't for him, you'd probably have died several times! For your sake, he dared to oppose me! ”

"He said you were special! But I really don't see what is special about you? ”

Wen Qing reacted at this time, "You always say that you are you, he is him, he is you in your middle age, you are him in his old age, you have to at least let me understand, why did I meet two you?" These two of you, twenty or thirty years apart? ”

Zhu Lao said, "I don't know! ”

Wen Qing squinted, "You don't know? ”

Zhu Laoba glanced at Wen Qing, "This has to start with something a long, long time ago!" If you listen to me, you'll know why I say I don't know! ”

"This matter is so evil that it is beyond your imagination, it is beyond the imagination of human beings!"

"Do you want to listen?"

Wen Qing nodded!

If what Zhu Laoba said is true, then the person closest to Xie Yu, the master he has known for ten years, is actually a non-existent person, what a terrifying thing it must be!

Isn't one of the purposes for her coming here to find Zhu Laoba's whereabouts?

Zhu Laoba closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes and began to say slowly, "I was born in a big family, my parents are rice merchants, my family is in the rice business, the family is well-off, in addition to me, I also have an eldest brother, my eldest brother is eight years older than me!" When I was very young, he had already learned how to do business with my dad! Follow my dad all year round! ”

"My eldest brother has a flexible mind and learned how to behave in the world at a young age, and my father also intends to hand over the family business to him! And I have no interest in doing business at all, I like to read, recite poetry, and go to find a few friends in my spare time. ”

"One day, I met a girl, Miss Yaoyao! I was incorrigibly in love with her! Before I met her, I didn't know what beauty was, but after meeting her, I found that all the beautiful girls I knew before would be eclipsed in front of her! She is like the most beautiful of all flowers! ”

"After a long and fierce pursuit of her, she accepted me! We're in love! The time I spent with her was the happiest day of my life! ”

"Eventually, we exchanged promise tokens and we got engaged! Her father is the palace master, she is from a scholarly family, I am from a wealthy businessman's family, both family and household, both parents approve of our marriage! ”

"If it weren't for that accident, I think we would have been very happy in the end, giving birth to a lot of big fat boys, and we would grow old together, instead of being like now, I am the only one left, lonely and old!"

"I will never forget that afternoon in my life, it was a sunny afternoon, I went out with Yaoyao, she said that her face was a little dry that day, and it happened that the rouge gouache at home was used up, and a new rouge gouache shop was opened in the north of the city, and she wanted to go to that one!"

"I'm not going to object to anything she says, because I love her, I really love her! She said she wanted to go to the north of the city, so I naturally accompanied her! ”

"We were walking down the street, and suddenly out of nowhere came a horse, which was very tall, and it raised its high hooves, and it neighed, and it went on a rampage, knocking down many people in a row! The screams and screams are endless! ”

"That horse is crazy, everything happened too suddenly, and by the time I reacted, the crazy horse had already arrived in front of me, and its sturdy hooves were about to fall down on me, and at this moment, a pair of slender hands pushed me away!"

"Yaoyao pushed me away! The heavy horse's hooves fell on her, and she fell, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in an instant! Crazy Horse's two front hooves knocked her straight away, and then the four hooves stomped heavily on her! She was like a paper mandarin with a broken thread, falling heavily to the ground! ”

"I was completely stupid, after falling to the ground, Yaoyao turned her head to me, her mouth was full of blood, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything, she opened her mouth, and blood foam would gush out!"

She held out her hand to me, but it fell down before it could reach midair!

"Yaoyao is dead! She died trying to save me! It was me who was supposed to die!! ”

"After Yaoyao died, I didn't think about it, my heart died! I lay in bed all day, getting thinner and thinner, and it won't be long before I think I'll be able to see Yaoyao soon! ”

"If it weren't for my brother who dragged me out of bed that day, I don't think I would have survived now!"

"He kept scolding me, and after scolding me tired, he asked me angrily, is it possible that without Yaoyao, I can't live?"

"I cried and told him that I really couldn't live without Yaoyao!"

"He said, okay, I'll let you see Yaoyao! After saying that, he went out, and when he came back, it was already three days later! ”

"I didn't care at all, Yaoyao was dead, how could he let me see Yaoyao? I thought, did she go to find a girl who looked like Yaoyao back? ”

"That's useless, what I like is not only Yaoyao's appearance, what I like is Yaoyao's whole person, her smile, and even every hair of hers! No one can replace her, even if that person looks exactly like Yaoyao, there will be no second Yaoyao in the world! ”

"But I was completely wrong! My brother didn't bring anyone back, he only brought back a small cloth bag. ”

"In that cloth bag, there is an eye that is still bloody!"

"He told me that that eyeball can let me see Yaoyao again!"
