Chapter 44: Why Don't You Jump?
Hearing this voice, Wang Xiaoguo glanced at me.
I was about to say something, but she winked at me: "My mother called you, you go over and take a look, see what she wants to say to you, but don't believe everything she says, you have to think about it yourself." ”
With that, she walked back to the couch and sat down.
When I saw her sit down,
Picking up the remote control, Wang Xiaoguo picked up the TV one by one, and after tuning to a reality show variety show, Wang Xiaoguo put down the remote control.
I looked at the TV screen, it was still the variety show that Liang Yuan watched before.
I don't know if it's a noodle shop that has been open for too long, there are really some people I come into contact with every day, and I don't know any of the male and female stars on the TV at the moment.
Wang Xiaoguo smiled happily.
She picked up a bag of potato chips on the coffee table, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth, and began to eat it in large gulps.
I stared at the screen for a while, and I really didn't understand why these programs were so popular with young people.
I looked around again, and the layout of Xia Hong's house was the same as the one I rented.
The decoration style in the house is slightly retro.
It's like the decoration in the eighties and nineties of the last century, most of the furniture is still vermilion earth paint, and it looks like they should have lived here for a long time.
Qingshen Prefecture is really small.
In total, the population is less than half a million.
If the mother and daughter also live in this county, and they live so close to Huaihua Street, then why haven't I seen them once before?
Just as I was thinking about it, a faint fragrance came from the kitchen.
Following the smell, I headed into the kitchen.
Xia Hong was wearing an apron, and when the spatula touched the bottom of the pot, it made a "clacking" sound, and the basket of vegetables in the vegetable basket just now was put in the pot and fried.
A little bit of fuel, plus some garlic granules, the pea tip shrunk by only half of the previous one.
turned off the heat, I thought Xia Hong was going to start the pot.
Instead of shoveling them up immediately, she took out a glass-sealed bottle from the cabinet. The bottle was white, very fine and broken.
When she pulled out the white shards, I realized that they were the petals of the ghost orchid.
After lightly sprinkling a few petals, the woman picked up the spatula and stirred it a few times.
Sensing that I was behind me, the woman looked back at me and said, "Cooking looks simple, a little condiment is not good, and the taste of the dish is very different." ”
Her voice was slow.
I looked at the plate of oil-consumable pea tips, the taste or something, I haven't tasted it, I don't know.
But looking at the color, the green leaves are fried very richly.
The white dots on it are the petals of the ghost orchid.
A wisp of white smoke floated up from the greens, and the woman walked past me with a plate, and I stopped her. Xia Hong heard it and looked back at me:
"Tang Xiaofan, do you want to eat?"
I shook my head and asked her, "Xia Hong, what did you do to me, Deng Guihua and Wang Jia, and that Su Quan, where did you get them?" ”
"Them?"
Hearing my words, Xia Hong raised her chin: "What's wrong with them?" ”
"Don't pretend to be garlic, okay?" I glared at her: "Deng Guihua before, I ate what you made, Wang Jia drank the red girl you brewed, and Su Quan was like this." ”
"So, what about later?"
"Later, I saw them go to the cliff in the east mountain, and jump off the cliff one by one!"
"And after that?"
"After that, they're gone!"
"Then why are you still here?"
"I didn't jump down, so I'm still there!"
"Why don't you jump?"
"I ......"
At this point, I suddenly stopped talking, my mouth was half open, and I didn't know what to say.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xia Hong was very proud.
She took a step closer to me: "Say, why don't you jump after them?" ”
"Why do I want to jump?"
"Because they're all jumping."
Hearing this, I was surprised: "What kind of logic are you, why do they jump, I have to jump, is there anything wrong with my brain, such a high place, can't you fall to death if you jump?" Why should I jump? ”
Xia Hong smiled:
"That's it, since you know that people will die if they jump, then they will fall to their deaths when they jump, but you say that I got them away, this is simply robber logic......"
Xia Hong laughed as she spoke, depending on the fact that it had nothing to do with her at all.
"They all jumped off after eating your stuff?"
"Ate my stuff?"
"What's that?"
"Red Girl!"
"You have wronged me, the red girl clears heat and detoxifies, or blindly uses Chinese medicinal materials, eating the red girl can only be good for their health, and they will not be allowed to jump off the cliff."
Xia Hong said slowly and logically, and I became more and more angry:
"What about my dad, what happened in our noodle shop that night, how could my dad suddenly become like that, he is still lying in the hospital, you have to give me an explanation!"
Xia Hong continued to laugh: "People, birth, old age, sickness and death, how normal it is to be normal." ”
"My dad isn't normal."
"What's wrong?"
Xia Hong's chin continued to rise, as if she was deliberately teasing me. She didn't seem to take me seriously at all, and kept being perfunctory. A wave of anger swelled in my heart, and I clenched my fists tightly.
"He's in a hospital bed now, in a vegetative state, unconscious, and ......"
Before I could speak, Xia Hong snatched the words:
"Why are you in a vegetative state unconscious?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? How can a vegetative person fall asleep all the time if they are conscious? ”
"Who told you that vegetative people are unconscious?"
When I heard this, I was suddenly stunned.
At that moment, I felt like I was being pushed from behind by something, and it was a strange but familiar feeling.
However, I can't tell you exactly what it feels like for a while.
"Xia Hong, what are you talking about......"
My tone was very light, and when I asked this, I was cautious, not for fear of scaring Xia Hong, but for fear of scaring myself.
She didn't answer me, and left with the food.
I followed her to the living room, watched her go out, and was about to catch up, Wang Xiaoguo called me from behind: "Tang Xiaofan, I heard what you said, in fact, the place where those people jumped down is the Soul Restoration Cliff!" ”
"Soul Cliff?"
"That's right!"
Wang Xiaoguo nodded, she was very surprised to see me, she pulled me to the living room sofa and sat down.
I looked at Wang Xiaoguo with palpitations:
"They are all living people, how can they jump from there? And ......"
Wang Xiaoguo stared at me: "How do you know that they are all living people?" ”
