Chapter 011: Farewell to Aunt Liu
In the evening, the whole city begins to darken, and the street lights are lit up in rows. Next to the garbage can, cats and dogs compete to forage for food.
Two young people walked up to me, whistling and greeting me.
"Yo, little sister, it's so late, why don't you walk around alone?
The other reached out and grabbed my hair, pulled it to his nose and took a deep breath and said, "Uh-huh, it's quite fragrant." It's this mess that is the cutest. ”
I raised my foot and kicked, one at a time, and the two people who hurt fell to the ground, covering their lower bodies and rolling around.
"Hmm, I'm X, I'm so ruthless, grab her, don't let her run!"
I snorted, kicked the speaker in the back, turned and ran. Unbeknownst to him, the two guys ran faster, and before they could get out of the alley, they were grabbed by the hair and pushed to the ground.
"Run, run again!" the man took a deep breath and scolded, "I'm X, this girl looks soft and weak, and her feet are really ruthless, our brothers are really almost ruined in her hands tonight!"
"What's nonsense, if she abolishes us, we will abolish her!
This is the edge of the city, which is already sparsely populated, and it is late at this time, and there is no half of a figure in sight.
"Pervert! let me go!"
"Let you go?haha, how could the fairy daughter who fell from the sky just throw it away!"
As he spoke, he dragged me into the green belt, and no matter how I struggled, the hand that was holding my hair did not let go, and I could feel that the hair was being pulled down by strands.
"Stop!" a cry came into my ears, and it was a woman's voice.
The two young men stopped, glanced at the road and said, "Oh, what's wrong tonight, another beauty?"
I was prostrate on the ground, my hair covered my cheeks, and I could see a figure running towards me. When he got to him, he jumped up and kicked one of them. The young man screamed and was kicked out, rolled twice on the ground before stopping, clutched his chest, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground. Kick one over, the man didn't stop, raised his leg high, and Tarzan smashed down like a top. Another young man instinctively raised his hand to block, but mistakenly underestimated the strength of this person, and was directly smashed to his knees with a pop. Then the man switched his legs and swept away, kicking the young man into the trunk of a tree in the green belt, bounce back and fall to the ground.
After fighting each other, the two young men found that even if they joined forces, they couldn't beat this person, and they looked at me again, and ran away with unwillingness.
"Can you stand up on your own?" the man ran away from the two hooligans, and without chasing, he looked at me and walked up to me and asked.
I propped myself up, sat on the ground, and touched the top of my head with my hand, it was slimy, as if it was bleeding.
The woman sighed and reached out to help me. At this time, I found out that this person turned out to be Sister Du. Seeing the people I knew, the grievances in my heart were vented all of a sudden, hugging Sister Du's arm, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Sister Du helped me sit down on the edge of the road, wiped the blood on my cheeks, and sighed: "Fortunately, you have that cage with you, my master's side can sense that you are here, otherwise...... Alas, don't say anything, let's go, I'll take you somewhere. ”
I felt that Sister Du was doing things vigorously and resolutely, and she kept being cold to me, and even slapped me hard. But now, when my whole world collapsed, no one cared about me, but she showed up in time to save me.
I followed Sister Du and got into the car. The car turned around the city and drove into a small courtyard, which was not quite the same layout as a typical northern farmhouse courtyard. The yard is not big, the courtyard wall is not high, the gate is in the east, the door is facing the sheepfold, the left hand is the kitchen, the right hand is the dry toilet, the north is facing the south is the main house, the east side of the main house is connected to the side house, the main house is open, the light is on, and there is an old lady sitting in the house. When I got closer, I found that it was Aunt Liu.
Entering the door is a burning brazier, and inside is a table of eight immortals, on which are incense burners, bowls and chopsticks, and a black and white photo frame is erected at the back, which is a photo of the imperial grandmother. I tucked the hair that was scattered on my face and looked closely, yes, it was Grandma Huang. On the bed board against the east wall of the house, the imperial grandmother lay with her face high, as if she was asleep.
Seeing that I was stunned, Liu Guzi said lightly: "My junior sister, she is gone." ”
Sister Du whispered behind me, "You go and kowtow to the imperial grandmother." ”
I knelt on the ground and kowtowed, bowing my head to the ground, and my heart was full of emotion. This big living person, suddenly yin and yang are different, and the world is impermanent, but no one can guess it.
Aunt Liu reached out to help me up, pulled a bench for me to sit down next to her, and stroked my head with love on her face. She smoothed my hair, and her eyes were cloudy with tears.
"Girl, my junior sister has been strong since she was a child, and at that time, she was the most promising person to become an official disciple of the coffin. But she was too strong and went the wrong way. She just wants to return to the coffin door in this life, and she can still toss when she is young, but she is old and can't stand the toss, so she pins all this on you young people. But in the end, the apprentice died, and you were a step too late. ”
As he spoke, he took out a bone from a cloth bag beside him, handed it to me, and said, "This is what you left at the side house, and the thing will be returned to the original owner." As for its name, when you have time, you can choose one for yourself. ”
I took out a flat copper box the size of my palm, the lid of which was also hollowed out, and the material was the same as my previous bronze cage, covered with a layer of patina. She handed it to me and said, "This is the vessel that my junior sister used to raise little ghosts back then, called Tianhuo Copper Furnace, I guess that the little ghost who was bitten to death by Chairman Bian at the Bian family at that time was left on you when she exorcised the little ghost for you and used to protect you." My junior sister really wants to take you as an apprentice. I found out that there was an unformed imp in here, which she should have re-raised, and now she has given it to you. The method of refining has been completed, you only need to drop a drop of blood every day in the future, and when the time is enough, this little ghost will take shape, and he will recognize you as the master. ”
"Mother-in-law......" I shouted. I'm scared of ghosts.
I only thought that the things I encountered in Yumuwo before were man-made things, and those villagers pretended to be ghosts and scare people. It wasn't until I met the dead Bian Maoping "lived" in Bian's house, and there was a little ghost who suddenly appeared and was gnawed off by Bian Maoping's head and died, and since then, I have believed that there are ghosts in this world, so the fear of ghosts made me choose to live in Bian's house temporarily. Now Aunt Liu suddenly told me that I could raise a little ghost, and I was scared in my heart, so I instinctively refused.
Aunt Liu obviously misunderstood what I meant, thinking that I refused because this thing was too precious. But how do I know how precious this thing is? I just know that there is a ghost in front of me all the time, what should I do in the future?
Liu Guzi stopped my words: "Refining this little ghost has exhausted my junior sister's yang life, perhaps, she knows that her time is short, and her original intention is to leave you a life-saving hole card." Don't be burdened, take it. ”
After speaking, he sighed lightly, and pulled Sister Du to him again. Sister Du knelt on her knees, put her head on Aunt Liu's knees, and bowed her head and sobbed. Liu Guzi rubbed the back of Sister Du's head and said, "Shengnan, it's not that the master is partial, it's just that your qualifications are too far behind Nan Xing'er." Staying by your side with these things will only destroy the hope of our two old sisters for a lifetime. ”
Sister Du cried: "Master, I understand. ”
Liu Guzi untied a necklace-like thing from her neck, with a small bronze pendant on it, shaped like a water droplet. She put this thing in the palm of Sister Du's hand and said: "This exquisite necklace, you put it away, although it is not as good as the bronze cage, but in the future, you will learn the spell well, and this is also an excellent magic weapon." ”
Sister Du held the delicate necklace in both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, Master." I will definitely save Nan Xing'er. ”
"Good. Liu Guzi grabbed my hand, put it in Sister Du's hand and said, "In the future, I will treat Nan Xing'er as my own sister." I'll leave the matter of this coffin door to you juniors. If you don't look for it, it will come to you on its own. Take this path, and there is no turning back. Alas...... Go with the flow, go with the flow. ”
While speaking, Aunt Liu sighed, tilted her head, and the immortal passed away.
My mind was blank, holding the radius bone and the heavenly fire copper furnace in my hands, kneeling on the ground, looking at Aunt Liu. Sister Du lay on Aunt Liu's knees, crying bitterly, and it was very clear in the quiet night.
Outside, Sister Du and I sat back in the courtyard and listened to Sister Du tell me about the coffin door.
The next day, after burying the two old men and kowtowing, Sister Du stood up, pulled me in front of her, and solemnly said to the grave: "Master, Imperial Grandma, don't worry, I swear that I will walk into the coffin door openly for you!"
With that, he tugged at my sleeve.
The world is impermanent, and creation makes people. Because on a whim, after the college entrance examination, when I was eighteen years old, I returned to Yumuwo to look for Grandma Li, who had raised me for eight years, but I fell into this inexplicable abyss step by step. Elm Nest has many strange things, involving the coffin door organization, and the Bianhuang Group designed, his biological parents were arrested for committing crimes, and he was swept out of the house by his own brother and sister. Is this the will of God, that the heavens are pushing me step by step towards the coffin door? The coffin door, this terrifying mysterious organization, this place full of evil magic, is the destination that the heavens have arranged for me?
If it is arranged by heaven, then follow this providence!
I bowed, gritted my teeth, and said, "I'll definitely break into the coffin!"
As he spoke, ignoring Sister Du's surprised look, she tightened the backpack on her shoulders and turned to leave.
Two people in a car, and they are gone. This city has broken my heart, and leaving is the result. But how can you, O people of this city, let me forget?
Someone else's eighteen-year-old, singing and laughing;
And my eighteen-year-old, life and death.
