Chapter 4: The Familiar Pain in a Dream
Li Banblind explained to me the difference between the secret marriage and the Yin ceremony, and told me completely that in this matter, unless the other party takes the initiative to let go, the possibility of my successful divorce is almost zero.
"Wouldn't I really die, then?"
Li Banblind didn't say anything, just told me not to go out these days, he would think of a way.
As for the coffin, he still agreed to do it.
The reason is that the other party can't be aware of it, otherwise the other party is likely to kill me directly and get married in the underworld.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly prepared tools for him, and watched him make a coffin with a shudder.
In the evening, after Li Banblind and I had dinner, he said that he wanted to go out.
I wanted to come with him, but he refused and told me to wait in my room for him to come back.
I was scared, but he said it didn't matter, at least until the coffin was ready, I was safe.
I will be suspicious, I don't even dare to take a shower, just sit on the bed wrapped in a quilt, hold my mobile phone and chat with people everywhere, whether I know or don't know, in short, it is better to have someone to talk to than to stay alone and think nonsense.
As the minutes passed, I played with my phone for a long time, my eyes blurred, and I gradually became sleepy.
I tried to reach out and rub my eyes, but suddenly I found that my body couldn't move, but my mind was very clear.
As said on the Internet, the feeling of a ghost pressing the bed.
The lights in the room began to flicker on and off, and the closed windows opened silently.
I watched the curtains dance in the night breeze, and my heart was about to jump to my throat.
"Who-"
I wanted to scream, but I couldn't make a sound, like a doll in prison.
The temperature around me receded little by little, and the chill gradually came in, and then I noticed a gaze falling on me.
This sight is very familiar.
It's the sight I felt at night after I took the order that night.
I jerked towards the door.
There, in what had been an empty place, stood a man in an ancient black shirt with large sleeves.
His face was like a crown of jade, his facial features were exquisite, his long black hair was bound by a black and gold jade crown, and only a few strands of aggression came to him, adding a layer of impersonal indifference to the black of his body.
In the slender eye sockets, there are a pair of inky black eyes, which should be glowing with charming color, but at this moment, they are dull and dull, like ink, and they can't show any color.
When I looked at him like this, my nose suddenly became sore, and I felt an inexplicable sadness, and I wanted to cry very much.
It was a kind of sorrow, but also a kind of long-lost familiarity and longing.
But in my mind, I don't know this person, no, maybe he's not human.
Who are you?
I couldn't make a sound, I could only ask in my heart.
Instead of answering me, he stepped forward and walked towards me.
With each step, a layer of frost condenses on the ground.
The frost is like a blooming lotus, very beautiful, but lonely and distressing.
He stood in front of me and grabbed me.
I was stunned and tried to break free, but I couldn't move.
Only the chill on the other party's body penetrated into my body little by little, dispelling all the warmth.
"Xia Ying, I'm back, wait for me."
He hugged me and whispered, my heart suddenly ached, and my body was loosened in an instant.
The lights were still on, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no one but me.
But my body, my face, still seems to have the breath of that man.
"He called me Xia Ying? Who is he? Who am I? ”
I don't know, I really can't remember anything about what happened before I woke up.
Except for the name Xia Ying, I am blank.
After that, I never fell asleep again, and when I opened my eyes and waited until dawn, Li was half-blind and came back with a tired face.
"How's it going?"
I poured him a glass of water, and I was very anxious.
"There is no special way, only on the day the coffin is formed, it is desperate to give it a try."
After Li Ban said this, he went to the coffin shop to make a coffin.
I was in a hurry, but I couldn't bear to urge him, so I could only suppress the impatience in my heart and watch him make a coffin on the side.
According to the current process, most people will not make a seven-star board.
That thing is on a board, according to the position of the Big Dipper, seven holes are chiseled, meaning that the seven holes are connected, which is longevity, and will finally be placed in the coffin during the burial.
In the old days, I used it more.
But Li Banblind deliberately found a special wooden board and painted it with paint of the same color as the coffin.
Then with the liquid in a black bottle, an unknown pattern was drawn, and finally seven holes were chiseled.
"What are you doing here?"
I flipped through the books and learned to ask questions.
"For your life."
Li Banblind casually handed over the black bottle, and I reached out to take it.
There was a fresh fragrance from the bottle, and I inhaled it, and it smelled very good.
"What's in this bottle? Why is it red, and when it dries, it will be gone? ”
Li Ban straightened up, rubbed his waist, picked up the cooled tea on the side and took a sip, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his expression was unexpectedly a little arrogant.
"Someone's blood."
