Chapter 35: Ten Years of Being Neighbors with Demons (16)
"Grandma, did you sleep well last night? No one is here to make trouble, right? "The next day, Ye Liang came to the door early in the morning.
Mrs. Lin didn't sleep all night, and when she saw Ye Liang coming, her frightened eyes were like seeing a ghost.
"Didn't you sleep well? It looks like the circles under my eyes are a little dark. Ye Yuan asked with concern.
Mrs. Lin shook her head again and again: "No, no, I slept well." ”
Ye Liang turned on his mobile phone: "Grandma Lin, guess what I saw?" ”
She showed Mrs. Lin the photo she had sent from the students at Tamsui University. The latter pretended to be calm: "Old photos, this looks like it's been a few years, it's been twenty years, right?" ”
"It's been twenty years, it's been thirty years, Grandma, who do you think this person is?"
At the edge of the photo, a face poked in, and Mrs. Lin looked at the person and shook her head blankly: "This person, I don't know." ”
"Don't know? Don't you think he looks a lot like the caretaker of the apartment opposite? ”
Ye Quan's eyes stared at her coldly, Mrs. Lin was awkwardly looked at by her gaze, she was not a professionally trained spy, just an ordinary old woman, she was frightened last night, and she didn't sleep all night, and her mental condition was not good for an elderly man in his seventies. Now that he was stimulated by Ye Quan, he blurted out: "Yes, it's a person." ”
After saying this, she let out a long breath, feeling that the big stone that had been pressing on her heart for a long time was slowly loosening.
Ye Liang kept staring at her expression, and when he saw a hint of relief on her face, he reached out and held her shoulder and whispered in a sincere voice: "Grandma, you must be very tired after so many years of hiding so many secrets." ”
Mrs. Lin began to tremble, and Ye Liang gently stroked her back and comforted her softly.
Zhao Nan hugged his shoulders and looked at all this, and suddenly said: "I know your secret, under that rockery, there's something sleeping there, right?" When will the monster wake up? ”
"How do you know? What you found last night? Mrs. Lin's eyes changed, she suddenly thought of the dancing long, snake-like thing she saw last night, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, she suddenly stepped back twice, covered her mouth and looked at Zhao Nan in surprise: "You...... Are you ...... Monster. ”
Zhao Nan took a step forward: "Yes, it's a big monster, you can swallow the monster you are guarding in one bite." ”
"No, please don't." The strange scene she saw last night had already made her feel cowardly in her heart, she was just an old woman who had been hiding it alone for so long, since Ye Liang appeared, the balance in her heart was completely broken, and now when she heard Zhao Nan say that she could swallow the monster, the whole person almost collapsed, she knelt on the ground and begged: "Please let it go, please." ”
"It's a monster that will devour everything, once you wake up, don't talk about this island, the whole country can be digested by it, and the lives will be ruined, Grandma Lin, I see that you are a kind person at heart, just for your father's entrustment, because you are Japanese, so you have to keep this secret until death, have you thought about it, once you die, when that thing comes out, the first victim is your children and grandchildren, after all, this house is for them to inherit, or wait until then you will tell them the truth, let them continue to wait, Waiting for the monster to wake up and destroy everything? ”
"I can't help it, after all...... That was the wish of my parents, my mom, my mom, and she sacrificed her life for that thing. Mrs. Lin couldn't cry.
Zhao Nan was still holding his shoulders, showing a powerful look, but turned his face sideways and sighed quietly.
Through yesterday's contact, he found that this old lady is a simple and kind person, if she was really vicious, she would not have killed Mrs. Chen for so many years, the reason why she is like this is just to have something to wait for.
"When I was young, I always asked my father, where did my mother go? Before I was in elementary school, we lived in Taipei, a house with a single courtyard, and I clearly remember that I had a mother, she was very beautiful, like a ...... Bodhisattva. But then my mother disappeared, and my father took me to Yongsheng Township, and other children had their mothers, but I didn't, and my father said that my mother went to work far away, and I would come back when I grew up. I grew up with this fantasy, and when I reached the age of eighteen, my father suddenly told me that my mother was gone, and that her bones were gone, and that she had eaten the man-eating butterfly she was waiting for. Eaten, Miss Ye, can you understand my feelings? The thing sleeping underground, is the thing that once ate my mother's flesh and blood, I should hate it, but my father told me that cultivating a man-eating butterfly is the research direction of his and mother's life, and my mother is happy to die, sacrificing for her career, my mother is a hero, my father will always get old, I'm afraid I can't see the time for the cannibal butterfly to be reborn, and I am guarding the man-eating butterfly here, that is, waiting for my mother, who was nourished by my mother's flesh and blood. ”
Mrs. Lin wiped her tears: "It was only that time that I knew that the reason for the accident in the Xie family was also because of this, my father suspected that the news of the man-eating butterfly leaked, and someone killed the Xie family to find the man-eating butterfly, at that time my father originally wanted to transfer the man-eating butterfly, and then I thought, since I just killed the Xie family and did not touch our family, it means that we have hidden it well for so many years, and the most dangerous place is the safest." He simply brought the monster to us to take care of it, in the basement below the rockery. ”
"Your father suspects that the Xie family was destroyed because of man-eating butterflies?"
"Yes, I didn't understand these things when I was young, and my father didn't tell me until I grew up, this man-eating butterfly embodies my mother's flesh and blood, as well as the life of the Xie family, I must protect it."
"You know everything, and you deliberately led me to the opposite apartment after I came to the door to hide your secret here."
"That's right, I was confused for a while, please forgive me."
Mrs. Lin reverted to the Japanese style and knelt on the ground to ask Ye Liang for forgiveness.
Ye Quan sneered: "Forgive? Wait for you to cause chaos, see if the people on the island of Taiwan will forgive you, Chinese, and even the Japanese can forgive you, this is so close to Japan, once the man-eating butterfly floods Japan, the country will also be erased, you have not seen those larvae devouring everything terrible look. ”
Mrs. Lin hung her head, and she didn't know if she had listened.
"Let's go, let's destroy that thing together." Ye Liang glanced at Zhao Nan, who nodded and walked to the backyard.
"Don't do that!"
Mrs. Lin got up, hugged Zhao Nan's legs, and knelt down slowly: "I beg you, I'm an old woman, and I won't live for a few years." ”
"Don't rely on me to sell the old, we are both older than you, I thought you were a good person, be polite, I don't want to hurt you, if you do this again, don't blame me for being polite." Ye Liang bent down, scooped her up, and said viciously: "You think that the man-eating butterfly was raised by your mother's flesh and blood, but do you know what I lost to destroy this thing?" You've waited sixty years, I've waited eighty years, and I've compared this to this? ”
