Chapter 6: There Are Snakes
Su Zi did not go to reincarnation, there are two possibilities, one is to have an unfulfilled wish, and the other is to commit suicide.
People who commit suicide cannot be reincarnated because they have committed the great sin of disrespecting their parents and must be punished as a lonely ghost. The so-called white-haired people send black-haired people, one of the four great sorrows of life.
Su Zi's soul memory was broken when the mentor appeared. I don't know if Su Zi didn't want to be seen by her mother and blocked it, or if she was missing for some reason. It is impossible to know exactly what the reason is.
That's the end of it.
With Lu Jia and Shen Jie's abilities, they can't be traced any further.
Lu Jia helped Shen Jie fulfill her last wish, she wanted to be able to see her daughter for a longer time.
Lu Jia tied a paper figure for Su Zi, and after Su Zi's soul was attached to the paper figure, the paper figure became a living person, looking flesh and blood.
Shen Jie said calmly: "I saw Zi'er, and I was satisfied knowing that she had been with me." ”
Lu Jia repeatedly told Shen Jie: First, Su Zi can't go out of the house during the day, and second, Su Zi can't see the sun. Third, Su Zi can only eat incense, not human food. In the end, Su Zi could only maintain this state for one year. A year later, the spell failed, and Su Zi continued to be a ghost.
Shen Jie said: "One year is enough. ”
Hidden tenacity lies under her calm gaze, and she no longer talks about revenge.
And Lu Jia fulfilled Shen Jie's wish and helped her meet her daughter, and the matter was over.
But Lu Jia was faintly uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that this matter was not over. As time passed, she slowly forgot about it.
……
On weekdays, Lu Jia still goes out of the hexagram stall, and the technique of divination is becoming more and more proficient. It's just that when I see some scenes on weekdays, I will touch the scene and think of Qiqi.
On this day, she wanted to go back to the studio on a whim.
Everything familiar when you enter the door adds a bit of desolation. The three-person studio will no longer be a three-person studio if there is no seven-seven.
She didn't want to dissolve the studio, she had to wait for Qiqi to come back and continue the studio of the three people.
The studio was still clean and tidy, and she thought about it for a while, maybe Zhou Mo had cleaned it. Thinking of this, she took out her phone, pressed a few familiar numbers, and then deleted them. That was Zhou Mo's number.
Lu Jia touched everything he was familiar with, thinking about the seven or seven Zhou Mo and the three of them, bickering and laughing. Adventure together, escape from the mad woman together, escape the night walk of a hundred ghosts from Liquan together, none of the three of them left anyone, and now she is the only one left.
While he was thinking about it, the sound of the key turning outside the door sounded. Lu Jia's heart jumped suddenly: Is it Qiqi? Or Zhou Mo?
"Little master, are you back? I'm going to clean up here. Zhou Mo naturally closed the door and took out a mop to wipe the floor. Arrange the easels one by one.
"Zhou Mo, now that the studio is temporarily closed, you... No need to clean anymore. ”
"Little master, I already make this home. Don't worry, I'm volunteering. Later, when the studio reopens, just give me a raise. ”
"Little master, Qibao-chan will be back."
"Hmm."
She surveyed everything in the studio and saw that Laocoon's statue had been moved. said in passing: "Zhou Mo, who did you and Qiqi put Laocoon there?" ”
"Nobody moved. I moved it back. ”
But Zhou Mo did not move the statue.
The statue of Laocoon is based on the story of the Battle of Troy in Greek mythology, where the Trojan priest Laocoon annoyed the Greek patron goddess Athena by warning people about the dangers of dragging a Trojan horse into Troy. Athena sent the serpent to kill the priest Laocoon and his two sons.
The sculpture depicts a shocking scene: a giant serpent wrapped around Laocoon's thigh. Another snake choked his back. Laocoon's powerful body was visibly invincible under the serpent's entanglement. His body was twisted, his head tilted back, his lips slightly open as he struggled, perhaps shouting, perhaps praying. The expression on his face was distorted by pain.
The two sons, who were also entangled in snakes, looked at their father in despair and fear. In the end, the father was also bitten to death by a snake in order to save his two sons.
It's a sad story.
The artist shows people dying and fearing in the face of danger. At this time, the expression on Zhou Mo's face was also frightened.
Because behind Laocoon, there was a mass of snakes curled up.
Zhou Mo held his breath and stepped back gently, for fear of alarming the creature, and even more afraid of scaring Lu Jia.
Zhou Mo stepped back for a distance, put his index finger on his lips to make a "shhh" mouth, and then gently pulled Lu Jia's hand and slowly retreated. This is a rule of thumb, and you should never turn your back to a beast, for example, snakes prefer to attack humans from behind.
Zhou Mola landed at the distance of the gate, opened the door from his back and exited. He quickly locked the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
Zhou Mo stepped on the steps down the stairs and said coldly, "Little master, bring the cat tomorrow." ”
"What are you doing with a cat?"
"Don't ask, let you take it."
The next day, Lu Jia came to the studio with the old cat Moxue, and Zhou Mo had already arrived early. The studio was neatly cleaned by him, the easels and chairs had been put away and stacked on the wall, and the whole studio was empty in the middle.
Mo Xue is already very old, and she sleeps lazily on weekdays, but as soon as this old cat encounters a supernatural event, she immediately becomes alive.
As soon as Mo Xue entered the room, the hair on her whole body exploded, and her mouth let out a low roar.
Seeing this, Zhou Mo said, "Put it down." ”
Lu Jia didn't know why she didn't know how to do it, and Mo Xue swept her tail and slowly walked towards the statue of Laocoon.
Zhou Mola landed on Lu Jia and said, "Little master, I haven't had breakfast yet, let's go out and eat something." ”
Zhou Mo locked the door, and the two of them chose a nearby breakfast shop. Lu Jia drank a bowl of porridge, and Zhou Mo ate steamed buns. The two of them were chatting.
"Shippo hasn't heard from you yet?"
"Nope."
"Don't worry, Shippo will be fine." Zhou Mo rubbed Lu Jia's hair
"Hmm."
"What has the little master been busy with these days?"
"Tell the divination."
"I'll do the same thing, let's go in a group next time. Little master, you see that my disciple and I can catch ghosts, you tell fortunes, what a good opportunity for cooperation. ”
"Oh"
"That's it. In the future, our master and apprentice will go to the rivers and lakes. ”
"Hmm"
The two of them chatted and chatted, and they finished eating early. Zhou Mo said, "Go back and see the cat." ”
Pushing open the door, the room was a mess, with fragments of plaster statues of Laocoon strewn all over the floor. Mo Xue's paws were pulling and playing with a long rope. Lu Jia wanted to say, "Young Master Mo, you are naughty again." ”
Just about to pick up Mo Xue, he took a closer look at the rope on the ground, what kind of rope it was, but a long black snake.
"Ahh She screamed, "Snake! Zhou Mo, there are snakes! Mo Xue, where did you get the snake to play! ”
Mo Xue bit the snake's head and raised her head arrogantly to show off to her, as if she was waiting for her praise.
"Mo Xue is obedient, I'm afraid of snakes, you put it down, put it down"
