Chapter 13 There is a woman in the painting
The sigh echoed through the room, and I didn't know how to respond, my whole body stiffened, and I forced my eyes to close, for fear of seeing something I shouldn't see.
However, there are some things that even if you close your eyes, it will break into your sight, leaving you with nowhere to dodge and nowhere to hide.
"Wu Lu, what are you afraid of?" A woman's voice rang out, and I watched as she appeared in the darkness and walked towards me.
I also saw her wearing a red cheongsam, just like in the painting. I had to be bold and say, "You, are you my grandmother?" ”
Judging from the time of the oil painting, it must have been when Grandma Tai was young. If my grandmother gave me a dream, it would be reasonable.
Unexpectedly, the woman smiled slightly: "I'm so young, how can I be your grandmother?" I come from the painting, you can call me a woman. ”
"I don't know you, what do you want to do when you come to me in the middle of the night?" I asked her.
"You don't know me, but I know you. I am the yin qi gathering of the four generations of women of your Wu family, in order to help you revitalize the Wu family, avoid dangers and disasters, and realize your dreams. She said with a smile.
I was a little dazed when I heard this, and I couldn't help asking, "Are you the yin qi aggregate of the four generations of women of our Wu family?" So, you're a female ghost? ”
She nodded and said, "I'm a female ghost, but ghosts are also good and evil." I will only help you, not hurt you. The four generations of the Wu family have suffered so that your generation can achieve something. ”
I used to hear that "there are no more than three generations of poverty, and no more than three generations of wealth", but now it seems that whether the children and grandchildren can make a difference also depends on whether the ancestors have done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and whether they have done evil deeds.
"Since you wanted to help me, why didn't you show up sooner?" I'm going to ask carefully.
She also said, "I will only appear if you have the red cheongsam and oil paintings." Moreover, my presence is a sign that you will be in danger. ”
"What danger can I have?"
"There are a lot of ghosts in this building, and if you are not careful, you will die." Her tone became serious.
I shivered, this building is not clean? I've been staying for a few days and I don't feel anything.
"I haven't seen a single ghost other than you." I say.
"Listen, the owl is calling again. Where there are more ghosts, the more excited the owl is. Her voice became muffled.
I felt a chill I had never felt before, and I had to ask her, "So what should I do?" ”
"Everything is fixed, everything is providential. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. I will help you, and you must be brave yourself, after all, this is the danger you will face. She shook her head and sighed again.
I found that when I spoke, sometimes she looked like a young woman, sometimes she was old-fashioned, like an old woman, and it really felt strange to think that the yin qi of the four generations of women in our Wu family had all turned into a female ghost.
"You've got to tell me what's in danger I'm going to be, right? For example, who is trying to harm me, and what will happen? "I'm going to ask.
However, the woman only left one sentence: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will know it then." ”
I was about to ask her, but she turned and disappeared. I was anxious to open my eyes, and it was already getting dark.
The painting still hangs at the head of the bed, and the woman in the red cheongsam is staring at me, smiling. I think back to the appearance of "Sister-in-law", it seems like a dream.
Sun Xiaotong quit his job and was determined to learn how to make clothes with me, saying that he would open a few more stores and set up a company in the future, and it would be best to go public......
I don't think as far as she thought, I think I must live safely first of all, except for life and death in this world, I'm afraid it's all trivial.
"Xiaotong, do you know that this building is not clean?" I asked Sun Xiaotong.
Sun Xiaotong frowned and said, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" What's wrong, what did you encounter? ”
"Not yet, I just want to be prepared in advance, in case something dirty comes out, I can be prepared." I say.
"How would I know, the former Sun Xiaotong knows better than me." She shrugged.
I asked her, "Those ghosts should be like you, can you not feel it?" ”
Sun Xiaotong immediately glared at me: "What do you mean by this, I am already a human now, and I have no ability to be a ghost." I'm not in the same category as them at all, have you figured it out?! ”
"Hey, you are very gentle in front of the old lady and Sun Bin, why are you exposed to my original form?" I have seen the fickleness of women, and I am very helpless.
At this time, Wang Xia walked in with the pigeon again. Sun Xiaotong pouted at me and said, "You can ask her, she should know." ”
I thought about it, forced a smile, and walked over to greet Wang Xia: "Sister Xia, it's almost autumn, do you want me to help you make a dress for the season?" ”
"Okay, you can make me a pair of pants, the kind that will accentuate my figure." Wang Xia released the pigeon, one hand on her waist, and the contour of her buttocks was the most obvious.
I smiled and said, "You can rest assured, I guarantee your satisfaction." Come on, you come in and pick the material. ”
Wang Xia saw that Sun Xiaotong was also in the store, and joked again: "Xiaotong, you have really changed your career, and you plan to be a fashion designer in the future?" ”
"This is all seen by Sister Xia." Sun Xiaotong said.
"The chain around your neck is worth a lot of money, when did you buy it?" Wang Xia saw Sun Xiaotong's white gold diamond necklace at a glance.
Sun Xiaotong smiled: "This is given by my brother, where can I afford it." ”
Wang Xia said enviously: "It's good to have a brother." ”
"Sister Xia, it's not strange that you say that she is a strange person, she knows so many famous designers, she has to follow me to learn to make clothes, I don't know what she thinks." I'm going to cut to the chase.
Sun Xiaotong tilted his head and said, "I'm willing, can't I?" ”
"It's not that it can't be, but don't say anything in this building, I'm so scared that I don't dare to take the elevator at night." I said deliberately.
Wang Xia was picking fabrics, and when she heard my words, she looked up at me and looked serious: "Xiaotong told you everything in the building?" ”
"I'm just joking with me, how can there be ghosts in this world, I don't believe it." I put on a posture of nonchalance.
Wang Xia said seriously: "Xiao Wu, don't believe it. Do you know why this building is full of people living in a single room? ”
When I think about it, that's really the case. The drunkard Chen Yongyuan lives on the sixth floor, Wang Xia lives on the eighth floor, Chu Fatzi lives on the tenth floor, and Sun Xiaotong's house on the twelfth floor, all of which are double-storey.
"Sister Xia, do you think even numbers sound good?" I asked tentatively.
"Then you're thinking of us too simply. Tell you, the odd number above the fifth floor can't live, and if you live, something will happen. Wang Xia kept her voice very low, as if she was afraid that others would hear it, but in fact, there were only three of us in the store.
I asked her, "What can happen?" ”
"Didn't Xiaotong tell you? There are people who die, and people have died on the fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh floors. Wang Xia said.
Sun Xiaotong and I glanced at each other, I was thinking, half of this building is inhabited by people, and the other half is inhabited by ghosts?
