I still remember the conversation they heard when they fell asleep on the mountain, and I was a little wary of Shangguan Yan who appeared inexplicably, and asked Xia Xia, "Who is this person?" ”

Xia Xia said: "Brother Shangguan?" He is a newly appointed county official, didn't the county official Zhao run away before he left office, and Shangguan's brother came to manage Chain. Because there is no one to hand over the appointment, I have been visiting each house for the past few days. ”

"County magistrate?" I held my forehead and thought back to the words he had spoken to another person on the mountain, and there were seven corpses on the mountain? Don't? Could it be the ones that Han Sanxiao and Song Lingjian buried a few days ago? This newly appointed county magistrate is here to investigate the death cases that no one in these towns knows about?

Xia Xia saw that I was not in a good mood, fed me medicine, and said, "Sister Fei, you lie down for a while and slow down, I am going to send food to Mrs. Yan." ”

Xia Xia went out for a while, I was dizzy and looked for a long time in the courtyard of the house, Song Lingjian used to go up the mountain for a short break, if it was too late to tell, he would leave a note in the courtyard or on the table in front of my window, telling me that I would leave for a few days, so that I would not bother her - in fact, I was afraid that I would worry.

I searched for a long time, every corner, every crack that the wind could blow, no—she didn't leave a note, and if she had left it for me, it would have been in a conspicuous place.

Are they really so ruthless and resolute, so many years of friendship, they are not even willing to say goodbye?

I imagined how they set off with thin luggage, the fire trees were not yellow, and the hem of their clothes brushed through the morning dew, and they left without looking back.

I fell asleep after thinking about it for a while, and I don't know how long I slept, when I suddenly felt a light in my eyelids, as if someone had lit a candle in the room, but there were no footsteps or other sounds.

"Xia Xia, is that you?" I asked in a deep consciousness.

No one answered.

I opened a slit in a daze, only to feel a breeze drifting over the head of the bed, as if a dark shadow flew quickly—

What is it?! Who is it?

My eyes widened suddenly, and the layout of the room was clear at a glance, and there was no one at all!

I didn't even hear the door closing, so who lit this candle?!

I looked at the doors and windows, they were all tightly closed, so how could the candles on this lamp keep shaking, illuminating the whole room as if they were dancing with their teeth and claws!

Wrong!

My hair stood on end, because I noticed something more in my room—

My whole body stiffened, my neck turned my eyes, when did I have a black coat on the side wall?!

Not to mention that this wall itself doesn't hang anything, even if it's such a black dress, I don't have one in my house, I've always felt that walking in this color at night looks like a ghost, it will scare others, and it will also provoke some supernatural things, how can there be such a thing in my room?!

I was about to shout Xia Xia, when the candle sprouts flickered violently and were about to go out, a cold wind blew, and I saw the black clothes move strangely, and before the lights went out, a face full of hatred and resentment suddenly flashed from the depths of the clothes!

This time I didn't experience much of fear, because I was so scared that my heart stiffened with fear, and I fainted as soon as it was dark.

I don't know why Xia Xia hasn't come, I woke up by myself in a daz, and when I woke up, the lights and candles in the room were not extinguished-

I remember before I passed out and fell asleep, the candle flame was obviously extinguished?!

I opened my eyes slightly, and saw a dark shadow that was also swinging in the void with the beating of the candlelight! I didn't even have the strength to tremble, but I felt an abnormal pain in my chest, and the dark shadow was projected on me, I should be sitting at the foot of my bed—

Shadow? ——

No, ghosts have no shadows, then these are people, not ghosts - but who is sitting so quietly at the foot of my bed? Could it be—could it be Song Lingjian?

With a "porphyry", a sudden gust of wind blew out the candle that had been placed by the window, and I was on full alert, and the man sitting at the foot of my bed stood up, groped around the table for a while, and then lit up a point of light, and the candlelight shone again.

I could see this silent lamplighter, she wasn't a ghost, but she surprised me more than a ghost!

"Mother-" I screamed in a shrill voice.

My mother turned around, and her face under the lamp and candle had a captivating posture, and there was such a peerless face in this calm and unremarkable town. She still hasn't changed much, so young, so beautiful, just like I saw her five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen years ago, so young and beautiful that people are scared, how can she never be old?

"I'm here to see you. You're sick. The mother pursed her lips and said softly.

At this time, it is not bad that she came to see me so quietly, and it didn't scare me to death, but I was still very touched that she could come to see me, although it was only upstairs and downstairs, we hadn't seen each other for many days.

"Crying for what? Does it hurt? My mother took the lamp and put it beside my bedside and looked at me with concern.

I shook my head, I was surprised that she cared so much about me.

The mother wiped her tears, she wiped it very seriously, but there was no distressed expression in her eyes, and the fragrance of osmanthus on the towel was heartwarming, and I felt a lot smoother.

"Mother, why are you here?"

"Let's take a look."

"Why didn't you wake me up, how long have you been sitting here?"

"It didn't take long. Just looking at you. ”

"Thank you, mother." I fought my spirits.

My mother leaned down and covered me with a quilt, and suddenly said softly: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's just getting cold day by day." I haven't seen her for a few days, and Fei'er has changed again, it's really the eighteenth change of a female college, and I can't even recognize it. ”

I was stunned and didn't answer, why did my mother talk to me about such a homely routine?

"Look you're skinny again. Such a big person, don't always run around with them, be obedient, settle your mind, and find a good husband to marry. ”

Husband's family? How did my mother care about my life's events, this sudden concern made me burst into tears, and I choked up: "Well, I know." ”

"If you don't marry for a day, he won't be at ease for a day. I always feel that we made you miss the apricot period. Sister Tian, do you blame me for taking away the fourth brother? ”

Tian Mei?

The mother looked out the window and said softly: "Several times, he stood outside the door, but he never entered." There is still a gap with my eldest brother, and I opened the window last night, but he walked away as if he didn't want to see him more. Sister Tian, how can the eldest brother be willing to let us be together? ”。

What the? What eldest brother? What Tian Mei?

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

My mother seemed to wake up from a dream, and suddenly glared at me and said, "What do you call me?!" ”

Her reaction scared me, like a ghost, and I was concerned, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

The mother left the room in a gaffe as if she had seen a ghost.

I felt like I was going crazy with my mother.

On that day, Song Lingjian said on the mountain, this is your first choice, he is changing day by day, you don't regret it. She left us in solitude, as if from that time on, she had thrown her own soul into the mountains and let us taste the fruits of suffering.
