65. Aunt Mei (2)
Time was pressing, so I said to him, "I'll explain it to you later." With that, he walked over to the wall where the two rooms were connected, pulled out the shadow moon, found a hidden corner, and began to dig a hole. The ordinary brick wall was dug through after a while, and I looked through the hole in the wall, and the angle was just right, and I could see my grandmother's whole person from the side, and if Aunt Mei was sitting on that chair, I could see her movements clearly.
The choice of the villain and the gentleman, before the matter of my own secret, I choose to be the villain. Because I'm sure that if I asked Aunt Mei directly, she wouldn't tell me the truth. I don't believe that Aunt Mei will harm me and my grandmother, but I have an inexplicable panic.
Plugging the eye hole with something, when he turned around, he saw Sheng Shiyao's clear eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you doubt your aunt?" There was weakness in his hoarse voice. I heard that there was no movement outside, so I walked up to him, leaned over and asked, "Are you okay, is it because you saved my grandmother or because your condition has deteriorated again?" After thinking about it, there were only two that could cause him to fall suddenly.
But I heard him say: "There are both, no matter what kind of occult arts, it is extremely exhausting to perform, and I can breathe and recover in normal times." But this month when my body changed was when I was weakest, so every year I would leave somewhere and wait for this month to pass. And this metamorphosis is not completed, which is equivalent to extending my time for a month indefinitely, in this case, every time I perform a mystic technique, it will consume a distraction, so that my resistance will be weakened, and the dark spots will deteriorate. ”
This is tantamount to a vicious circle.,I want to say why do you use any magic in this case.,But the words came to the lips and shrank back.。 He performed a number of spells before and after, first to gather Liu Yue's soul for Zhou Tong and his six sons, and then to save his grandmother, how can I still ask this? After hesitating for a while, he asked worriedly, "Did you save grandma...... For me? ”
Sheng Shiyao looked away and looked elsewhere. At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, I hurriedly silenced it, but I heard the footsteps stop outside the door of this room, I was in a hurry, and I didn't want to get under the bed, but I was pulled by Sheng Shiyao and pointed to the inside of the bed, I didn't think much about it, so I turned over and squeezed into the wall between him and the wall, and the quilt covered my head.
Just when the door sounded, after four or five seconds, I only heard Aunt Mei asking in a low voice: "Why didn't this old gentleman arrange a nurse to take care of him?" The dean's voice came: "Miss Mei, you don't know, I originally wanted to arrange it, but this old gentleman insisted on not using it, and then the nurse was nervous, so he gave up and reminded the head nurse to pay more attention." ”
"Well, it's normal to have a weird temperament when you're old, but if something happens this time, it's better to arrange someone to come over and take care of it, and I'll pay for the nurse." After Aunt Mei finished speaking, she only heard the dean's voice repeatedly, and the two closed the door and left.
I waited a little longer before poking my head out of the quilt and meeting Sheng Shiyao's dark eyes. When Aunt Mei and the dean came in just now, he should have closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. The atmosphere became delicate for a while, and only then did I realize that it was very ambiguous to be close to him in this way, and I turned over and sat down in embarrassment, and was about to get off the ground, when I heard him ask, "What did you find?" ”
I was silent and replied honestly: "I don't know how to explain it to you, but I haven't found it yet, but I have some doubts in my heart." "Floating the eye hole that I dug before, "I'll look at it quietly for a while, and don't make a sound." "There was a sound of footsteps leaving outside the door just now, it should be that the dean has left, and only Aunt Mei and Grandma are left in the room.
Carefully took off the wood that plugged the hole in the eye, looked closer, and found that Aunt Mei was not seen at this angle for the time being, thought about it, put his ear to the hole and listened carefully, and really heard a voice coming. After listening to it for a while, her face changed slightly, as if Aunt Mei was talking to Miaomiao on the phone, and she mentioned me in the middle, and her heart was not good, and now Aunt Mei knew that I didn't go to Miaomiao.
Soon the phone call was over, and I didn't think much about it, so I regrouped to the hole in my eye, and found that my grandmother seemed to be waking up slowly. There was confusion and confusion in her eyes, her eyes turned half a circle, fixed somewhere, and the color of excitement gradually crept up her face. I guessed that that location should be where Aunt Mei was, and sure enough, Aunt Mei walked out of the blind corner and came into my sight.
Seeing her lips squirm, she seemed to say something, but her voice was too low to hear clearly. Why didn't I make a simple ear piercing before, so that I couldn't hear it, so I was really anxious.
In a blink of an eye, Aunt Mei had already walked to her grandmother and sat down, without the excited look she expected, mainly because her grandmother's eyes looked at her, which turned from initial excitement to surprise, and even her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth. And Aunt Mei stared expressionlessly, and after a while, she reached out to brush her grandmother's hair that fell on her sideburns, and her mouth moved.
I immediately listened with my ears, only to hear Aunt Mei say: "After waiting for fourteen years, you have finally woken up, and it is time to fulfill the agreement." She paused when she said this, and I had to look closer, but I saw my grandmother's eyes frightened, what was the agreement in Aunt Mei's mouth, so that my grandmother was so afraid?
After that, Aunt Mei's speech was very vague, and her meaning was unclear, and I could hear it in a fog. Later, my grandmother's eyes were gray, there was no light, only a numbness of despair, and she no longer looked at Aunt Mei, so she opened her eyes steadily, without a wave. Eventually, I heard some useful information, and Aunt Mei mentioned the purple gold box in my arms and asked where the little gold lock key on my grandmother's box was. But apparently there was no result, first, grandma couldn't speak, and second, her emotions seemed to have been defeated before.
After a while, my grandmother closed her eyes again, and Aunt Mei also sat still, looking worried and longing, not knowing what she was thinking. I saw that I couldn't see anything again, so I carefully sealed the hole. The brain is a mess, like a ball of yarn that has been torn apart, and the thread can't be found.
walked back to Sheng Shiyao's side, and saw that his half-closed eyes were open and looked over. It stands to reason that Aunt Mei and him, I will believe Aunt Mei unconditionally, but now I have countless doubts about Aunt Mei, and my heart surrounds me like a spider's coil. For Sheng Shiyao, I have long been accustomed to relying on him, including thinking about difficult problems. So after a little hesitation, I told him about the abnormalities I found before and after Aunt Mei, and wanted to hear what he had to say.
During my narration, he didn't interject, just listened calmly. When I finished talking about the process just now, I saw a thoughtful expression on his face, and after a while he asked, "Do you think your Aunt Mei will harm you?" ”
I instinctively shook my head, "No." "Even after watching the scene just now, I still don't think that Aunt Mei will harm me.
"Your first sense vetoed the possibility of being bad, so you don't need to listen to my analysis. Just as if you didn't hear or see, get along with her unharmed. ”
How can you be safe? I am now full of suspicion and uneasiness, and when I see Aunt Mei, I think of my grandmother's frightened eyes. grabbed his sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "I tell you, I just want to hear you analyze for me, because it is about Aunt Mei, my heart is very confused, and I can't analyze anything or two." ”
He rolled his eyes and stared, "Before listening to my opinion, first of all, you correct your mentality, treat things not people, and put aside the relationship between you and her for more than 20 years, just as she is an ordinary person." So that you can see the facts objectively. His expression was serious, his eyes were serious, and I couldn't help but nod my head.
Then I listened to his analysis: "First of all, let's help you sort out a few important messages: first, your Aunt Mei doesn't want your grandmother to wake up; Second, she has two sides, and the superficial kindness and filial piety are disguises; Third, she is clear about your grandmother's Yangshou Zhenyin; Fourth, she and your grandmother share a secret related to you; Fifth, your grandmother has an agreement with her or someone else; Six, she's coveting your purple gold box, or what's inside it. ”
After being sorted out by him like this, my mind suddenly opened up a lot, and these six messages are indeed the doubts that Aunt Mei has revealed to me at present.
Then he said: "Now let's ask the question: First, why doesn't she want your grandmother to wake up?" Second, is your grandmother's strange illness really because of the legacy of that Fa? Borrowing Yangshou to say that there have been things since ancient times, Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms once wanted to light a seven-star lantern to continue his life, although he failed, but there was something to do. Your grandmother's method of suppressing yin with yang shou is the same kind of occult technique, but as far as i know, she will definitely die after using the remaining yang shou to suppress yin qi for you, and it is impossible to have the symptoms of suspended animation with a heartbeat. The third question is, what does your Aunt Mei mean by what she said about your fate? Fourth, what did your grandmother agree with someone that made her so frightened when she heard your Aunt Mei mention it; Fifth, what exactly is in the purple gold box? ”
At this, he looked at my coat, and he knew that the purple gold box was hidden in the hidden pocket of my coat. For convenience, I now almost only wear this kind of wide jacket, even in the cold winter, I add an extra cardigan to it. I took out the purple gold box, and to be honest, before today, I had never been curious about the contents of the box, nor did I want to open it to see what it was, but it was a peace charm left to me by my grandmother.
I only heard Sheng Shiyao say: "Let's analyze from this box first, you live with her, you must not be defensive of her in the past so many years, so she has a chance to contact this box, but she doesn't take it for herself, there is only one reason: she can't open this box." From what you just said, it is clear that the key to the box was hidden by your grandmother, and she must have looked for it but did not find it, so she asked when your grandmother actually woke up. ”
It makes sense, he once said that the lock on this box is called the Seven Tricks Exquisite Lock, unless the original key, as long as it is opened a little wrong, it will cause the entire lock to be damaged. In addition, the lock core is connected to the box, and the hidden contents of the box will also be destroyed. In short, a lot of analysis is made, mainly referring to the fact that there are many hidden mechanisms in this box, and you can't make a mistake.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I asked hypothetically, "Do you think that grandma's agreement has something to do with this box?" Could these two things be one or the other? The promise she woke up to fulfill might be to open the box, but it wasn't the promise that scared her, maybe it was the contents of the box. ”
Sheng Shiyao groaned, "It's possible." ”
