CHAPTER XXII
He Yingying was recuperating quietly at home, she had been lying down for two days, and the whole person was very weak and couldn't wake up.
Qiao Minhong was sitting at the head of the bed feeding her Chinese medicine, and his eager expression was written on his face: "The doctor said that as long as you take this medicine, you can recover your vitality." How do you feel? ”
He Yingying instinctively resisted, and pushed the bowl aside without saying a word, not looking at Qiao Minhong with her eyes.
"Don't be angry, okay, the reason why I haven't been home for so long is to work, to be able to earn more money to support my family! How long has it been since you and I made out? Let's hurry up and work hard to have a big fat boy! ”
Qiao Minhong hugged He Yingying tightly and pressed his face against her belly, showing his love for the baby who was about to be born as a father.
"Less coming! I'm upset, I'm not in the mood right now! ”
He Yingying drank a large bowl of bitter Chinese medicine under Qiao Minhong's soft grinding and hard soaking, and she choked and coughed a few times.
"Good medicine is bitter, bear with it."
Qiao Minhong's voice was gentle: "Who are those two people, why do you put so many candles at home." ”
He Yingying was a little eager to speak and stopped: "This house is not clean, there are dirty things in it, because of its interference, many strange things have happened around me one after another." They persuaded me to sell the house, but I thought it would be better to try the exorcism first, it really didn't work, and then talk about selling the house. ”
"Sell a house? Are you crazy? Do you know how much this house is worth now? ”
Qiao Minhong showed an extremely strange expression, and his throat gurgled: "You must have been bewitched, these outlaws who tell fortunes in the rivers and lakes are all unscrupulous in order to cheat money, and there is nothing dirty in the house!" ”
He Yingying noticed that Qiao Minhong's expression was unnatural, and she didn't think much about it, but these unpleasant experiences recently made her physically and mentally devastated, and even this house gave her an extremely strong sense of fear.
"I can't go on like this, I'm going to go crazy if I live any longer!"
He Yingying made up her mind, and she went directly to the sales center the next day to inquire about the market price of her villa, and wanted to sell the villa.
happened to meet the next-door neighbor Mrs. Lin at the sales office, He Yingying explained her intentions, and Mrs. Lin looked at her in surprise: "Don't sell your house, even if you do, sell it as low as possible." ”
He Yingying squinted at Mrs. Lin and felt that she was a little impolite when she spoke. But in my impression, Mrs. Lin does not look like a long-tongued woman with an open mouth.
He Yingying smiled awkwardly: "Although this is a suburb, but our house is very large, I heard that the economic development zone will build a provincial sports field in the future, it will definitely increase in value, how can it not be sold?" ”
Mrs. Lin should have sensed He Yingying's unpleasantness, and said with a smile: "I'm not saying that your house is not valuable, but before this, this family had an accident......
She pulled He Yingying to a remote corner, and when she saw that there was no one around, she muttered in a low voice: "The previous homeowner's family once had a daughter, who was very young, probably due to early love, one day she quarreled with her father at noon, and committed suicide that night. ”
"Huh?"
He Yingying screamed in surprise when she heard this, she had never heard her husband talk about it before.
"Did she commit suicide at home?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head: "No, I drowned in the garden pool where you talked to me last time." I heard that her eyes bulged out when she died. Besides, don't you know about it? I remember two years ago when this house first changed hands, I saw you and your husband take the keys from the previous owner at the door, and you've lived here ever since......"
He Yingying kept shaking her head, she clearly remembered that she only met her current husband a year ago, and she only lived here for half a year at most after marriage, how could she have moved in two years ago? She really couldn't figure it out, and she didn't even know if she remembered it wrong or Mrs. Lin was lying down......
He Yingying was reluctant to say more, and politely said goodbye to Mrs. Lin.
"It's so strange, is there another one in this world who can't do it?" He Yingying's heart was filled with doubts.
After changing a light bulb in the basement, He Yingying spent the whole afternoon looking for things here, and she didn't eat for a day. Qiao Minhong ran to the basement more than once to ask her what she was looking for, and He Yingying only replied with "just flip through it". made Qiao Minhong reluctant to continue communicating with her.
She didn't know what He Yingying was looking for, she just wanted to find out the secret of this house, and the last conversation with Mrs. Lin didn't look like they were lying. But who were the previous residents? Who looks exactly like themselves?
She He Yingying clearly remembered that Feng Luode had shown herself a commemorative photo of Qiao Minhong and Zhang Xiangyue that day. He even almost recognized the short-haired woman in the photo as himself.
"There should be other clues in the basement."
So Ho Yingying instinctively thought that there would be more useful clues in the basement. She flipped through it for a long time, but she still couldn't find much information, and only found a photo with a delicate frame on the cabinet, which was a group photo of Zhang Xiangyue and Qiao Minhong together, the smiles of the two were very bright, and Zhang Xiangyue was still holding a cello in her hand.
Flip the photo over and there is a paragraph written in English with a carbon pen: loveyouforever!
He Yingying walked to the cello in the corner of the wall and opened the case, the cello that had not been used for a long time looked very old, she patted the dust on it with her hand, and put the piano into the pouch in the middle of the box.
"What is this?"
There was something in the piano bag resting on her hand, and He Yingying pulled out the innermost thing in the bag, which turned out to be two awards, both of which were honors received by Zhang Xiangyue when she made a movie.
At dinner, He Yingying suddenly interjected a sentence that was extremely inconsistent with the atmosphere: "How can there be Zhang Xiangyue's award certificate at home?" ”
Qiao Minhong was stunned for a moment at first, and then replied: "After filming "This Life Together", she went abroad, so I went to accept the award as an agent instead of her. ”
He Yingying didn't squeak, paused and asked, "Do you know that there was a girl in this house who committed suicide?" ”
"Ah, when I bought it, it was indeed a second-hand house, and I was afraid that I would worry you when I said it, so I never mentioned it to you!"
Qiao Minhong lowered his head and was silent, looking quite embarrassed.
"I think this house is quite evil, and it is too far from the city, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth every time I go to work, so why don't we sell it and live in another place......
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Qiao Minhong slamming the table angrily, and his eyes seemed to be on fire! He Yingying was also taken aback by such a sudden move.
"No! Absolutely not! Now that you have bought this house, can't you bear this little thing? ”
"Because of the dirty stuff here, I've been on vacation for almost half a month! Work is more important or house is more important! ”
"That girl didn't die in the house, there is a big man in me, what are you afraid of!"
Qiao Minhong was so angry that he turned around and left, and he didn't want to say a word to her anymore.
He Yingying quietly chewed the food in her mouth, no matter how she chewed, she couldn't taste any of the taste in the food. At that moment, she looked at Qiao Minhong's resolute back, and suddenly felt as if she had been completely abandoned, and the figure of Feng Luode actually appeared in her mind, although it was vague, but it was within reach.
"What the hell is wrong with me? I am already married, why do I still have such thoughts? ”
She felt a deep sense of guilt when she remembered that she had always regarded Von Lorde as a "good old man" who could be manipulated at will. Since Qiao Minhong came back from Hong Kong to accompany her, she felt that there was an invisible door between her and her husband, pulling the two hearts that were once close in the past further and further.
