74. Gu Shan Meigu (2)
At the moment when I opened the door and stepped out, I heard Aunt Mei faintly floating: "The hidden dragon enters the water, trapped in the water, it turns out that it is like this" The words behind were closed by the door and cut off, I breathed a sigh ......of relief, but the hanging heart had not yet landed. Mom turned her head and was about to ask, but I shook her head to stop her, and motioned with her eyes to leave the place before talking.
So the two of them went downstairs silently, stepping on the wooden stairs as if they were stepping on their hearts.
However, when we walked downstairs, we couldn't help but be stunned, not to mention the crowd just now, but at least there were three or four people waiting for the blind, and none of them would be there. Is it too long to wait and get impatient to leave? Thinking about it, it was unlikely, and with their demeanor at the time, they were all people who wouldn't leave until it got dark.
I didn't want to be nosy, so I was so surprised in my heart, and I took my mother's arm and walked out of the door immediately. It wasn't until I walked dozens of meters away that my mother couldn't help but ask me, "Wish, why were you so reckless just now?" You must know that Aunt Mei has rules here, and if you break the rules, it will hurt ......" Speaking of this, her tears rolled out of her eyes again, obviously thinking of Aunt Mei's "father".
However, I grabbed her word by word and said, "Mom, that Aunt Mei is lying to you." β
She lost her mind, and with tears on her face, she asked, "What did you say?" β
"There are no ghosts at all, and people like Mei Gu are not good at psychics, but clichΓ©s. You come to her every year to be blind, and you have already found a lot of information from your mouth. She said that your dreaming is basically bait for you, and after getting enough information from your mouth, the bait will eventually be swallowed by the fish, and then the time will be ripe. β
After listening to my analysis, my mother softened her feet, but she still didn't believe it: "Impossible, so many people came to her to lock her ......up."
I interrupted her: "What did my dad call me when I was a child?" β
In a word!
My mother always called me this title, and my father always liked to call me Yuanzi when I was a child, saying that he thought I was born round like a Yuanzi. I don't believe my mother will forget, but just now Aunt Mei said that she was taken up by her father, but when she called me, it was a wish! The only possibility is that this old woman has been prepared for swaggering and deception, and may start to let people investigate the surrounding affairs after the first time her mother went to her blindness, so that she can better talk to her mother in the future.
Obviously, my mother also remembered this, but she still hesitated and said: "Even if you call your name wrong, it may not be fake." β
I looked at her a little weakly, "Mom, do you really want Dad to die?" β
I regretted saying it, my mother looked at me with a stinging expression on her face, her eyes wide open and frightened: "How could I want your father to die?" I'd rather drown yesterday than curse him to die. When he had finished speaking, he fell on my shoulder and wept bitterly.
I hugged her with remorse, but I couldn't explain it, so I could only wait for her emotions to calm down.
At that moment, someone came up the stairs of the mountain path. It was already afternoon, the sun was shining, and I saw that it was the fat woman who had sent people down the mountain before, who was not only sweating, but also panting like a cow.
I don't know why, but I always felt that her expression was a little strange. The weather is hot and the mountain roads are difficult to climb, and the average person may feel anxious, but they are unlikely to feel frightened. And then it didn't take long for me to know why.
Behind the fat woman there is also a woman, which is particularly eye-catching. It's not that she looks fierce, on the contrary, she is very delicate, but she walks very lightly. It felt as if she didn't have any effort to go down every step, and as the fat woman was panting and her feet slowed down, she followed suit. I noticed that every step she took was the same distance from the edge of the step, as if it had been carefully choreographed.
Soon, the fat woman and her passed by us, and the fat woman glanced at us, but the woman behind her looked at her nose and nose, her waist straight, and looked straight ahead, as if she didn't see us, but when she passed by, a chill was evident in her skin. No wonder the fat woman has those frightened eyes, the reason is all in this person. Just walking by the side, I could feel the chill on her body, and on such a hot day, I felt sticky, but she was wearing a black coat wrapped tightly, and there was no sweat on her forehead.
More is better than less, the fat woman is obviously Aunt Mei's person, I don't want to intervene.
My mother's emotions had calmed down, she raised her head from my shoulder to wipe her tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said, "Let's go back." But when we reached the bottom of the mountain, I stopped and fixed my eyes on a white sedan on the side of the road.
It was a Toyota, not too special, but I remembered the "male classmate" who drove a white car yesterday. Uncle He is not familiar with the car and doesn't know what brand it is, but I have asked him to describe the approximate model, and it will be very abstract without physical reference, and now when I see this white Toyota Ruizhi, I immediately match the number.
Turning his head to look up the hillside, the image of the eerily quiet downstairs just now flashed in his mind.
My mother asked, "What's wrong?" β
I shook my head and said, "It's fine." β
I thought it would be difficult to meet taxis in the suburbs, but I believe that my mother didn't have the heart to be pious to this Gu Shan's Aunt Mei at this moment, so when I walked out of a long way, when a green taxi slowly drove up or turned on the green light of the empty car, I immediately beckoned.
The car stopped in front of me, and I didn't follow my mother when I got into the car, standing outside the car and bending over: "I ordered an air conditioner in the city yesterday, and I'm going to see when it's delivered today, Mom, you can go back first." β
My mother only said perfunctorily: "What kind of air conditioner to buy, it's a waste of money." I didn't ask any more, so I reported the address of my home to the driver, and only when I saw the car drive out of sight did I turn around and walk towards Gu Mountain.
Walking back to the foot of the mountain, I was relieved to see that the white Toyota was still there. Whether I'm suspicious or not, I'll go for it now that I've decided to find out. When I climbed up the hill again, I found that the door was closed.
I stepped forward and pushed it, but it opened as soon as I pushed it, and the wooden door creaked. When I went up the mountain, I had already made a plan, and if I was asked why I went and came back, I lied that my pendant had fallen and came back to find it. In fact, I never wear a pendant. But when I pushed open the door and looked inside, I found that the house was still empty, but because the door was closed, it looked dim and dark, and there was a musty smell in the air, which invisibly added to the strange atmosphere.
I hesitated to leave the door closed. But seeing that the wooden staircase did not go up recklessly, because of the old problem of the wooden staircase itself, no matter how light the steps are when stepping on it, as long as it bears the weight of the human body, there will always be some creaks.
His eyes fell on the closed wooden door on the right side of the Ming Hall, just now the fat woman led the girl in and out, and it should be a place to privately trade "psychic fees" or something.
Since the reason was well thought of, Shi Shiran simply walked over, and when I pushed the door, I heard the door squeak open upstairs, and at the same time I saw the scene inside the door. In that 0.1 second I made a choice, stepped in the door and closed it with my back, but my eyes looked in amazement at the few people lying on the floor in the room.
They...... Aren't they the same people I saw sitting there waiting for my mother to come up when I came up? It wasn't surprising that they had moved from the outside to the inside, but the problem was that all four of them had passed out on the ground.
My first reaction was that they were controlled by Aunt Mei, and even said that they had been kidnapped! This is a black shop scene that is often performed on TV. But then I felt that something was wrong, these people came to Gu Shan to find Aunt Mei to be blind, in other words, they came to send money, Aunt Mei didn't need to use such means to collect money, let alone smash her own signboard like this. Unless there is something in them that Aunt Mei covets. I just felt the same way, and it is obvious that Aunt Mei is coveting my family's "seven-star unicorn beast".
I stepped forward to probe the breathing of a few people, although it was short, but it should not be life-threatening, and several people found bruises on their necks. It should have been fainted due to being hit, we did not hear any cries for help upstairs, and the soundproofing equipment of this old house must not be good, so the "perpetrator" must have caused a coma in a short time. Therefore, it is more and more certain that it is not Aunt Mei's doing.
Still analyzing rationally, a voice came from the top of my head, and I raised my head in surprise. I may not be able to hear other people's voices, but that thin voice is too marked, who is it if it's not Aunt Mei?
She was obviously raising her voice just now: "What do you want?" β
It turns out that this room and the blind house upstairs are upstairs and downstairs, and the sound insulation is not good, as long as you talk a little louder, you can pass it down. Especially Granny Zhang's domineering volume, but it seems that even though she is still drinking, her voice is a little trembling. Who is on it that even Aunt Mei is not calm?
Because I never listened to the voices of others outside of Aunt Mei's faction, I only vaguely seemed to have a man talking, but it seemed that he deliberately lowered his voice. Suddenly opened his mind, could this person who confronted Aunt Mei above be the "perpetrators" who knocked these people to the ground who came to beg for blindness? He deliberately lowered his voice because he knew that the sound insulation between the bottom and the upper floor was not good. Wait, if this person occupies this place when my mother and I just went upstairs, wouldn't our conversation with Aunt Mei above all enter each other's ears?
