Chapter 61: Death Approaching (Part I)
I have never understood life, let alone feelings, so when someone laments that the world is getting smaller and smaller, I always disagree, the world, in my eyes, is too big and complicated.
And life and the world, these two terms are more like a bland movie in the eyes of the elderly, and they are also like chewing gum that becomes more and more tasteless. When you are old, you can accumulate experience, but at the same time, you are constantly accumulating sins, accumulating more and more, to the point that you can swallow yourself.
Of course, there are people who are inherently sinful, and they can be indifferent to the mistakes they have made in the past, or even turn a blind eye.
Sitting in his shop, Wang Chengde is like a room that is dozens of years old. His eyes were hollow and lackluster, and he just murmured the following words to me.
"As for Lu Ping, yes, I did hate him, I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him, but in the end I didn't do it, because in this world, after all, there is still something called axiom." He slowly continued, "He was killed by this building! β
I frowned, "What does this mean?" β
"Would you like to hear a story, lad? A very old story. Wang Chengde stood up and poured me a glass of water. I nodded, and it looked like I was finally getting down to business.
"I remember when I was a child, my father used to tell me that when things last a long time, they will have life. In fact, if too many people die in a place or a piece of land, that place and that piece of land will also produce life, but that life will have a lot of resentment and even kill the living. β
He sighed and asked, "Boy, what do you know about this building?" β
I was stunned for a moment and replied, "Apple." All the people who died in this building were because of Apples, and everyone died in the first room on the right side of the stairs on each floor. In other words, only that room in this building will die. I have investigated and found only that they have in common with the old clock tower that can be seen nearby.
"But I don't know, I really can't guess how the three of them will be connected."
After saying it in one breath, Wang Chengde was stunned, "Good boy!" It took me five years to find out about these things, and you're really smart. He was shocked and said, "I'm getting more and more reluctant to tell you the truth, I don't want you to die!" β
I narrowed my eyes and said indifferently: "Don't worry, each of those fortune tellers says that I will live a hundred years and be promoted to make a fortune, and if I die, I will turn into a ghost and smash their signboards." β
Wang Chengde laughed: "Yes, boy, I appreciate you more and more." He stomped his foot suddenly, as if deciding something big, and resolutely said, "Okay, if you fight for this old life, I will tell you the truth!" β
I was overjoyed, and I stretched my head as far as I could, making it look like I was listening. At this moment, a chill suddenly invaded the whole body without warning, and the biting cold kept creeping up the back, and the fear was like a stone thrown into the water, causing wave after wave of ripples in the originally calm and waveless lake, and it continued to spread in the heart.
I jerked backwards.
Nothing...... But at that moment just now, I clearly felt that something was standing behind me, what the hell was going on?
"What's wrong with you, your face is so pale?" The little old man stared at me without blinking, and suddenly his whole body was shocked: "You! Did you just feel something? β
I asked in surprise and strangely, "How do you know?" β
"That's the thing." He held the broom in his hand with a look of fear, and his eyes looked around nervously.
"That thing? What is it? I asked, puzzled.
"It's it! It's coming! Wang Chengde trembled with fear, his spirit became hysterical, and his words began to be indistinct, just muttered vigorously: "It won't let me tell the secret, something will happen, something will happen!" β
I pressed him hard into his chair and shouted, "Calm down, you'll be fine." There's nothing here but you and me! β
"Nope! It's here! Wang Chengde was almost paralyzed, and he said to me out of strength: "I know too much. Damn it! I knew it would never let me go, you go quickly, get out of here, don't come again, or you will die! β
"I won't!" I stubbornly said, "Tell me, what the hell is it?" And the secrets of this building. Otherwise, I'll be crushed by curiosity! β
"Nope! I won't tell you! He struggled to break free of me, and escaped at a speed that was not at all appropriate for his age.
I chased after him, and I almost knew the answer to the mystery, and I couldn't let him slip away.
But I was desperate to chase him out, he was gone, and I sat down in front of the store in frustration, ready to wait for the rabbit, the old man could never come home.
After waiting for a while, the phone rang, it was Mi Jingyun.
"Ah Ye, are you free? Come and stay with me. She said softly.
I replied in a rough voice, "I'm sorry, Miss, I'm busy!" β
Her voice was sweeter, "It's okay, if you look over your head now, I think you'll change your mind right away." β
I frowned and looked up curiously, suddenly shocked. Mi Jingyun's guy went to the roof of the building at some point, she got out of the fence and stood dangerously on the edge of the extremely shallow building.
I was so frightened that I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "You...... Don't move! Shouting, he quickly walked around the stairs behind him and climbed up. It's windy! As soon as I kicked open the door to the roof, I couldn't wait to reach out and grab her.
"You don't want to come here." Mi Jingyun took a step back.
"Nope! Don't do anything stupid! I shouted at her anxiously, "You can tell me if there's anything you can't think of." Let's talk about it. There is always a solution to something big. β
"No, it's not. No one helped me. She shook her head dejectedly.
"What the hell is going on?" I was so nervous that a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I said as softly as I could: "Is it because of Ni Mei's death?" You know that I have already found out that you scared Ni Mei to death, so you are afraid that I will expose you? Don't worry, I swear I won't, you're still my fiancΓ©e, right? β
Mi Jingyun was stunned, and suddenly she laughed, and tears of laughter flowed out, "It turns out that ...... It turns out that I am such a shameless person in your heart, it turns out that all along, you thought that I liked you fakely, just to disturb the fog of your investigation of the truth...... Haha, silent at night, you exalt me too much! I'm not that great. β
Looking at her face, I was confused again. Could it be that Yang Shanshan lied to me again? No, she has no reason to do that, and if Mi Jingyun is not for this reason, then why should she die or live if she has nothing to do?
It's puzzling, but now is clearly not the time to stimulate her.
I sighed helplessly, and said as softly as I could: "I never thought about it that much, you have too much heart!" Ah Yun, come over obediently. "I took advantage of the situation and took another step forward.
"No, don't come here." Mi Jingyun leaned back, so frightened that I didn't dare to move anymore.
She shook her head bitterly and smiled: "I know that in your heart I am very lowly and not trustworthy at all. But I'll tell you that Ni Mei was dead when we went. β
"I believe, I absolutely believe in you!" I replied hurriedly.
The wind on the roof of the building is getting stronger and stronger, Mi Jingyun's snow-white dress and jet-black hair are flying in the wind, her figure is crumbling, there is a kind of desolate beauty, which makes me frightened, I am afraid that she will be blown down by the wind.
"You didn't believe me at all!"
Mi Jingyun, who has always spoken softly, shouted loudly rarely, she looked at me desperately, and suddenly whispered again: "Ah Ye, when did we start to become like this?" You started to always doubt me, resist me, and even hate me, why? Am I really that disgusting? β
"How can I hate you, it's too late to like you! You have too much heart. I said anxiously.
"Then you like me?" She asked in a delighted whisper.
"Of course, of course I like you, I like you to death!" As I spoke, I tried to get closer to her.
Mi Jingyun seemed to see through my thoughts, and stepped back slightly, with an inexplicably beautiful smile on her face. She said sweetly behind me, "You hear clearly, Ah Ye likes me!" What he likes is me, please stop pestering us! β
Could it be that I was tricked by her again?! I turned my head slowly, and suddenly saw a familiar figure that had froze.
She is Zhang Lu.
