Chapter 30: Bloodstains

Back then, because he was bent on finding Du Sanniang, he completely ignored the feeling of home, so that he didn't know that there was such a tragic change in his family.

Now that I know, how can I stand idly by?

I remember when I came back a few months ago, even though everyone in my family was cold to me, no one showed the slightest trace of misfortune.

I think my father must have instructed him.

They are afraid that I will know the truth, that I will be sad and sad, that I will be involved in this right and wrong.

Even the youngest sister is as always.

I'm the only one in the dark.

Thinking of my little sister, my heart ached.

Last year, when she was only 10 years old and a child, she was only a child, but this tragic tragedy befell her.

Her life had just begun, but it was over so quickly.

I deplore it more than I regret it.

I hate myself for not knowing sooner.

I hate myself for being powerless.

Weiyang used her methods to try to help me find my family's whereabouts, but in the end she found nothing, and there seemed to be nothing in the entire empty Yan Mansion.

I can't help but be disappointed.

Is it because I'm back that they have avoided me?

After searching for a while, I finally got a little tired.

Stumbling back to the room where I lived when I was a child, and which has become my little sister's room.

The room was very clean.

I lay on the bed thinking nothing, and my whole person seemed to be one with the darkness.

Weiyang sat under the lamp, looked at me quietly, and said nothing.

I gently closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but as soon as I fell asleep, I woke up for no reason.

A night raven.

Finally, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

Ghosts don't have footsteps.

Weiyang immediately became alert and blew out the lights.

But the footsteps had reached the door, and only one voice asked, "Is there anyone?" ”

I could hear that it was Megumi's original voice.

I breathed a sigh of relief and lit the lights again.

Weiyang attached to me again, and there was no trace.

I opened the door, and I didn't need any tone of voice, and asked him, "What are you doing so late at night?" ”

Hui didn't hide it at the beginning, and said, "I want to see if there is any trace of Ha Liancheng." When I heard that I had seen you not long ago, I knew you must have come back! ”

I was stunned, remembering the scene when my father killed Ha Liancheng that day, and I didn't feel dizzy.

Megumi stretched out his hand and retracted it again, saying, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I said, "Nothing. If you're not afraid, just rest in this village for a night, and I'll take you to see it tomorrow, but I don't know if you can find any traces. ”

Megumi said, "That's enough! ”

I took him to another room.

After all, he is a martial arts practitioner, and he always has the courage to be better than ordinary people.

The night went by.

The next day, I woke up early, but Megumi was gone.

I didn't feel a little dazed.

It was as if everything last night was nothing more than a dream.

But I believe that in my dreams, there will never be him.

I shook my head and sighed helplessly.

I took a bucket and went to the well in the yard to fetch water for washing.

I remember when I was a child, whenever I came to fetch water, my little sister would always come over and say that she would help my second sister carry water.

She was only two or three years old at the time.

But now......

Before I knew it, my tears were flowing again, and the tears dripped down the stone platform by the well, making a crisp sound.

Megumi came back anyway, and he stood behind me and looked at me and sighed softly.

I frantically wiped the tears from my face and pretended to be nothing.

He said, "Brother, I went out and walked around, and by the way, I bought some and came back early." ”

I was slightly stunned, but quickly understood.

His brother is to tell me that although he knows that I am a daughter, we are still the same as at the beginning, and there is no goodbye to each other.

I didn't say anything, I just finished my breakfast without a heart.

Then, it was decided to take him to the forbidden area in the backyard.

The backyard is still quiet, but there is more sadness in sinking.

Not far from the hut, I saw a tent of newborn whooping red.

I remember, the last time I came back, there was no such a 100-day red tent here.

It may be that the little sister was planted later.

It was in this flower bush that I finally found a tomb.

It is the one who hates the city.

I was a little surprised.

The grave of the Yan family, how could someone bury an outsider here?

Is it Dad?

I thought, no.

Touching that lush flower, it's like the sun is shining.

My heart moved, and I finally understood that this must be Xiaomei's masterpiece!

She just thinks that everyone is like her, and loves the flowers.

So she hid it from her father and buried the hated Liancheng among the flowers.

Sure enough, I walked over and looked at the tombstone, on which was a line of words engraved crookedly:

The tomb of the good man Ai Xiao.

I was sour.

Good.

Isn't that exactly what I said to my little sister that day?

After all, she remembered, remembered that Ai Xiao was good to me.

She, like me, saw her father kill Ai Xiao that day.

I don't know how she felt at the time, but she must have been full of respect for the good man, so she secretly buried him here.

And the little sister at that time was just a wandering ghost.

My heart ached.

Hui was just quietly looking at the grave of the hated Liancheng, and only after a moment did he say, "Thank you! ”

I grieved and speechless.

He added, "If I have the chance, I will come and take him back." ”

I said, "If you can, let him rest here!" ”

Megumi said, "Thank you! ”

He couldn't seem to say anything more than thank you at the moment.

I don't know if it's supposed to be like this.

But I think that being in this wreath, let him grow, maybe for him, is not a good home.

Megumi didn't say anything more at first and began to walk into the distance.

In the distance, the red-clothed man stood on the branches, like a breeze.

She came too.

It's just coming from afar.

Megumi walked over, and with a light footstep, he also swept up the branches.

Their figures, red and black, heaven and earth paint.

But at this moment, under the dazzling sun, it added a part of the sadness of the deceased.

I silently recited:

Last year, the snow-capped mountains and willows flew away, regretting not being at the beginning, hating the city, don't put the blood red.

What sad verses.

Weiyang said: "Sister, don't you think that these four names seem to hide a tragic story? ”

I was stunned.

When I looked up again, I saw no trace of them.

I sighed gloomily.

As I was about to descend the mountain, I looked back and caught a glimpse of the hut, and my heart suddenly moved.

I remembered the secret mechanism I had touched that day when I was locked up in the hut by my father.

At that time, because my little sister suddenly came to rescue me, I couldn't explore anymore.

I've always wondered why there was a mechanism in this humble hut.

Could it be that there is some secret hidden here?

I hesitated, then turned around and walked back.

The door to the hut was still locked.

In my little sister's way, the door opened.

It was dark in the room.

I vaguely remembered where I was, and sure enough, I quickly found the dark grid.

I activated the raised cobblestone.

There were a few strange sounds, and a large hole suddenly opened in the ground.

There was a staircase that stretched diagonally down at the bottom of the hole, and it was completely dark without the light of the lamp.

Weiyang was surprised and asked me what it was.

Of course, I don't know.

Luckily, there was an oil lamp on the wall of the hut, so I took it and lit it.

After a short walk down the stairs, there is a spacious basement.

In the basement there is a living room as well as a bedroom.

My heart was pounding inexplicably, and the whole person seemed to have a sense of depression.

Along the hallway, I got to the front of the first room, and there was no house number.

I hesitated, but finally pushed the door open and walked inside.

Under the light, two crimson coffins lay horizontally in front of me, which shocked me.

I had a hunch of it, but I was taken aback.

In front of the coffin is a spiritual table with two tablets standing on it.

It reads:

The spirit of the five fathers.

The spiritual seat of the Niang Zhang family.

This is Daddy's coffin.

I was dizzy and shaky.

Weiyang had already rushed out and grabbed me.

She said: "Sister, the deceased is gone, relax first!" ”

I looked at her gratefully, nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

Weiyang said: "Sister is polite, you are as kind to me as a mountain, I should thank you!" ”

I walked up to the two coffins, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "Father, mother, forgive my daughter for being unfilial!" Now my daughter is back, if you are here, please come out and see her! ”

I knew that even though it was daylight, ghosts could come out of this dark basement.

But after staying for a long time, I didn't see any movement in my father and mother's coffin.

I couldn't help but be disappointed, and I didn't know if my father and mother were angry with me, or deliberately avoided me.

Weiyang said: "Sister don't have to think about it, I feel that there are no ghosts here. ”

I thought that since my father had gone, I was afraid that he hadn't come back for a while.

It's just that my mother's coffin is here, why is she gone?

I took Weiyang to the next room, where there were also two coffins, but the tablets belonged to the two elder brothers.

The next one is the sister, and finally the little sister.

No matter how much I restrained myself, I still couldn't suppress the tremor in my heart at the moment.

I finally burst into tears.

A big family, this time we met, but I was the only one who existed.

This loneliness, this fear, seemed to tear me apart.

Weiyang was so sorry for it that he could only cry with me silently.

After crying for some time, I fell asleep dizzily.

When I woke up, I didn't know it was day or night.

I wiped away the tears that had not dried and approached my little sister's coffin.

Her person is small, and this coffin is also much smaller, and it looks so thin.

I regarded it as if she was alive, and I didn't feel pity, and I couldn't help but touch it gently with my hand.

Weiyang was afraid that I would be stupid, so he called softly: "Sister! ”

I nodded at her, sighed, and said, "Don't worry, sister. My little sister has been the best with me since she was a child, and now she is ...... Nowadays......"

But I couldn't say any more.

Weiyang said: "My little sister can have your sister, and I am also relieved." ”

My heart tingles.

What can my sister do for her?

The last time I came back, she was so good to me, I didn't know it.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a hint of wanting to see my little sister again, even though she has been dead for more than a year, but the last time I saw her, she was still so cute and delightful.

So, I couldn't care about anything anymore and lifted the lid of the coffin.

Immediately, a petite and lovely corpse appeared in front of my eyes.

It's my little sister.

Her body remained as if it were yesterday, as if she had fallen asleep.

Looking at her pale face, my heart was sour, and I couldn't help but call softly: "Little sister! ”

Who knows, Weiyang exclaimed slightly: "Sister! ”

I looked at her and said, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Weiyang pointed to Xiaomei's neck in a panic and said, "Sister, look! ”

I looked at it and was taken aback.

I saw a bloody mark on the snow-white neck of the little sister, as if it was just there.

I couldn't believe it, I took the oil lamp and looked closely, and sure enough, it was a fresh bloodstain.

I was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Little sister! Younger sister! ”

But where will my little sister answer me.

I panicked and said, "Sister, my little sister is not dead, right?" ”

Weiyang didn't know how to explain it.

After all, my heart is cold, how can I still be alive when I am a person who has been dead for more than a year?

But why is Xiaomei's body so well preserved?

So what's the deal with this bloodstain?

I couldn't explain it for a while, so I hurried to open the coffins of my brother and sister, and found that their bodies were well preserved, but there was no blood on their necks.

I felt even more strange and wanted to open my father's coffin.

Weiyang was very worried and said, "This is a big disrespect! ”

I said, "I hope my parents don't blame me!" ”

Weiyang knew that I wanted to solve the mystery, so he had to stop talking.

But in the end, neither the father nor the mother had the blood marks on their necks.

I felt more and more incredible.

Weiyang said: "Could it be that the little sister died by herself?" ”

I thought about it, shook my head again, and said, "This bloodstain is very new, and it will never be left at that time." ”

Weiyang said: "That's right, I don't look like I left it before." ”

I didn't think about it anymore.

Everything was back to the way it was, and Weiyang and I exited the hut.

Outside, I let out a long sigh, but my heart was still filled with irrepressible sadness.

Weiyang cautiously asked me, where should I go?

I knew she was afraid of me touching the scene.

I said, "This is my home, I'm not going anywhere." I'm right here, waiting for them to come back! ”

The only feasible way to figure this out is to wait for my father and mother to come back.

Hui said at the beginning that the Yan family was secretly executed by Duan Wangye, and it was obviously impossible to inquire about it from elsewhere based on the word secret.

Weiyang had no choice but to stop talking, but his expression was worried.

I asked her what was the matter.

Weiyang pointed to the calendar on the wall and said, "Today is the seventh day of June!" ”

I was taken aback.

July 7 is another year of Qixi Festival.

The Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky meet on the bridge, and the affectionate relatives on the ground spend a full moon.

But for me, it was a day full of pain and suffering.

Because only on this day every year, as long as I find Du Sanniang, can I wake her up.

But once you miss this day, you have to wait for the next Tanabata night.

This kind of waiting, how torturous.

Now, June 7th, it will be a month before Qixi Festival.

In this month, if you can't find Du Sanniang, you have to wait another year.

I don't know if I'm numb to this kind of waiting.

But I don't regret it.

I took Weiyang's hand and said sadly: "Sister, now that something like this has happened in the family, I have to wronged Sanniang first." ”

Weiyang said: "Sister's heart is bitter, I believe that Sister Sanniang will understand." ”

My tears flowed again.

The day passed in a pang of grief and pain.

In the evening, I didn't wait for my father, but I waited for my mother.

The arrival of my mother surprised and delighted me.

But soon, my mother's words made my whole body feel as if it was broken.
