Chapter 3 The Mirror and the Wrench (1) A Quiet Life
The winter in Jinan is cold and warm, not only the heated room, but also the group of intimate friends sitting around the hot pot. Swallow and I also ate in full swing, completely free of the sadness we had in the past. I gave her a piece of lamb flavored with sauce and put it on her plate, and the swallow's face was red because of the change in temperature, and this ruddy revealed a little bit on her snow-white cheeks, just like a faint red plum in the snow.
After Mr. Zang took a large piece of pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth, he chewed and asked me, "Aren't you two going to look for it anymore?" For a moment, the noisy crowd fell silent, in stark contrast to the noise at the other tables. Swallow looked at me and smiled, and I said, "No, there are more than ten days left, and Swallow told me that it is not like letting me be in danger again, or leaving her side, we will live a peaceful life in the next few days, and wait for everything to come by the way." Teacher Zang smiled bitterly and didn't speak again. The table was extremely depressed for a while, all the chopsticks stopped and stopped talking, Xiao Chao's friends in Jinan were a little trembling on their faces, Zhengzhou rushed over to gather with us, Brother Tao and others were also sad, the only sound around the table was the sound of boiling soup in the hot pot.
"Grandpa Zang, you can eat your food when you are old, do you want me to feed you." Chu Chujiao broke the silence on the table with a snort. I don't know why, Chu Chu began to call Grandpa Zang after seeing the white-bearded and white-haired Teacher Zang, but then again, Teacher Zang was 86 years old at the beginning of 2010. Although he looks like he is only sixty or seventy, and his physical condition is like a middle-aged man of fifty, his real age can indeed be the grandfather of all of us here, including the eldest Brother Tao.
"Chu Chu, you, your name is Grandpa Zang, my name is Uncle Zang, let's not mess with the generations, how can I still chase you." Brother Tao also joined in the excitement to break this embarrassing situation. Chu Chu glanced at Brother Tao and said, "You hate it, who let you chase it, I don't like you." Brother Tao scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment, and he picked up the cup full of beer and drank it all. I took the lead in laughing, and everyone laughed too, and the table was lively again for a while, and I smiled at Swallow and continued to eat.
In fact, we all thought about it, I promised Yanzi not to risk ghosts for her again, and she also promised me to go with me tomorrow to get married. Actually, she didn't want to wait for her to be gone, and I was widowed, but I thought it was the last thing I could do for her, so she couldn't help me agree. We just want to get the certificate, and every day like this, our friends eat and drink, or lie at home, let the sun shine on us, I read to her what I like, and live every minute and every second quietly. Yanzi's parents have been picked up from Zhengzhou by Brother Tao to Jinan, or the rest of the days to spend the rest of the days with the four old people warmly, feel the warmth of home, this is what we think, no matter the length of time, as long as they are still together, every moment is full and happy.
"I'm freezing to death." Xiang Dong didn't come to Jinan with Tao Ge Longlong and other large troops this time because of some things, he came alone by car, he always came by car before, but this time he came by car, without the warm air in the car and the layer of iron cover, just a short time after taking a taxi to freeze Xiang Dong's nose dripping.
Xiang Dong touched Fanzi's liquor and took a sip, took another sip of the beer cup, and then let out a long sigh of relief. Xiao Chao laughed and scolded: "I'm cao, you're playing with the depth charge in your stomach." Xiang Dong seemed to be coaxed by the heating in the hotel, and said: "Jinan and Zhengzhou are not far away, a few days ago we went to Baotu Spring was not so cold, his mother's Jinan is really cold." But I have good news for you today, do you want to hear it? ”
Yanzi and I didn't tell you what we thought, but just now Mr. Zang mentioned it, and we answered it like this, so everyone understood our minds. Of course, Xiang Dong, who had just come in and sat down, naturally didn't know, he looked at everyone looking at him strangely, busy to see if his clothes were torn or his pants were not zipped, etc., and after looking around, he found that there was no problem and said urgently: "Don't believe me, I mean really, the old ghost is really good news, you ask me quickly, let me also sell Guanzi successfully once, I tell you that you will definitely jump up happily." ”
I smiled wickedly and said, "It's about a female ghost with a tear mole under her left eye, right?" Xiang Dong nodded a little disappointed, but immediately said to me with a smile: "It's good news, I'll tell you that things are like this......." Before Xiang Dong finished speaking, I stretched out my hand and made a stop gesture and said: "Xiang Dong, I don't want to hear it, we don't want to know these things at all now." Xiang Dong said to me with an incredible look on his face, "How are you swallowing?" I shook my head, and his voice suddenly became a little anxious: "Then why don't you want to know." ”
Xiao Chao poured wine for Xiangdong, then raised his glass and said, "Because there is wine today and drunk today, cheers everyone." "When we were about to drink this cup of sweet and sour wine, the phone in my pocket rang, I took the glass and drank it, and then took out the phone.
"Hey, hello," I said. "What are you doing, it's me Guan, I calculated that a friend of yours in Zhengzhou should go and tell you something, you must listen patiently, this matter has something to do with the wrench I gave you both, maybe I can save the swallow." It was clearly Mr. Guan's voice on the other end. I stood up, walked to the window and whispered, "Can you figure out if this success is successful?" Mr. Guan paused and said: "I'm not an immortal, if I did, I would have rescued you earlier, didn't I say it when I was in Chongqing?" I can't figure it out.,Even if it's calculated, it's not necessarily accurate.,This kind of thing that has to do with life as long as I say the most important answer, the result will change.,Anyway, you try it.。 He hung up the phone.
I looked back at the people at the table, they were all looking at me who walked to the window to make a call, I quickly walked back to Mr. Zang and said, "Didn't you say he couldn't figure it out?" "He didn't count you, he counted someone else, hehe." Teacher Zang smiled evilly. "He? Who is it? Everyone asked in unison.
I didn't answer, just looked at Xiang Dong and said, "You start talking." "Xiang Dong suddenly came to the spirit, he belongs to the rich and handsome type, and he is the focus of attention everywhere he goes, but after running to our group, he becomes an ordinary member, so he tries his best to be the center of the conversation.
"Then I'll start talking, here's the thing, I was about to leave for Jinan yesterday, and then a friend called me when he knew that I liked to play antiques or something. I didn't want to go to one of his relatives' house, but I was driven by curiosity, and I learned that it was not an antique connoisseurship, but an antique object haunted. After saying this, he paused to the east, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, wanting to sell it. Brother Tao slapped Xiang Dong on the head and said, "Speak quickly." Xiang Dong glanced at Brother Tao and then continued: "The family that had the accident is an official and businessman family, and the officials and businessmen in the family are all very good, and it can be said that the family is prosperous and talented. The hostess of this house is the chairman of a certain group, although the real power is in the hands of her man, but the woman also has a lot of assets. She loves to collect all kinds of antiques, and she has also asked me to buy calligraphy and painting vases and the like a few times, but it seems that she should not be an expert, otherwise she should have asked me to buy jade. A few days before the accident, she bought a set of antique furniture and made her European-style bedroom a classical Chinese structure. When her husband came home and found this, he only said that it was a little spooky and wanted to change back to his old appearance.
But the woman insisted on it, and the man also loved his wife and accepted all this, but after a few days, strange things happened. Every night, the woman will do a series of maintenance in front of the bronze mirror that comes with the dresser, and according to herself, she has a classical beauty in the bronze mirror. Each time the light reflected off the mirror reflected the woman's figure on the other wall of the room. One day the man was very tired, and went home to sleep after the meeting, and when he got up, he found that the light on the dresser had forgotten to turn off, because there was a woman's figure reflected on the opposite wall, and the man muttered why he hadn't slept yet, so he was ready to get up and go to the toilet. As a result, the hand touched a warm mass, and the man cried out in fright, and turned his head to see that his lover was sleeping beside him. He woke up his wife, and the two of them crept over to the dresser, for the shadow was still there, and looking at the shadow it was a young and slender woman, they wanted to see who it was. The two walked to the dresser, but found a surprising scene, in the mirror there was a woman drawing eyebrows, young and beautiful woman, and the most special thing was that there was a beautiful tear mole under the eye in her right eye. When the woman in the bronze mirror saw the couple approaching, she smiled at them. ”
"Wait," Huazi interrupted Xiang Dong's narration, Xiang Dong was a little unhappy, but Huazi pretended not to see and asked, "Brother Xiang Dong, you said that the woman has a tear mole under her right eye, but we are looking for a woman with a tear mole under her left eye?" Xiao Chao said suddenly: "Do you still remember the Hua Dan of Baotu Spring?" Everything in the shadows is the opposite. ”
Xiang Dong nodded and said approvingly, "It's okay, Xiao Chao is smart." As he spoke, he was about to stroke Xiao Chao's head, Xiao Chao impatiently pushed away Xiang Dong's hand, and then motioned for him to continue. Xiang Dong cleared his throat and continued: "After this happened, the male owner of the house wanted to remove this dresser and throw it away, but the hostess was unwilling to live or die, saying that something supernatural is a good thing, and it can prove its historical value, isn't this nonsense?" So, after discussing with the woman, it was decided to move the dresser into the study. The man is very sorry for his wife, and after persuading him many times, it has no effect, so he gave up, and after the supernatural incident, the woman loved this dresser even more, and combed her hair and makeup in this mirror day and night. The company didn't go, and the family didn't care. The man initially thought it was just three minutes of heat, and it would be good to wait for a while. But then something happened, the man went home very early that day, and the nanny saw the man come back and began to add a few dishes, and the man was very interested in cooking, so he had to cook a few dishes himself, and the dishes were almost ready, but the woman was never seen. The man asked the nanny and found out that the woman had been in the study all afternoon, constantly drawing her eyebrows and eyes at the dresser. He was a little helpless, and walked to the door of the study to greet the woman to wash her hands and prepare for dinner, the woman promised inside, and the voice of the woman's promise was heard by the man and the nanny, and indeed the woman was in the room. ”
Xiang Dong paused, looked at us with wide eyes, and said, "Next is the part that scares me the most, listen carefully. The man was just about to turn around and go to the dining room to wait for the nanny to bring the meal and eat with the dressing woman. Suddenly, a scream was heard, and the man hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound, and he clearly heard the sound coming from the study, and it was his wife's voice. At the same time, the nanny ran over and the man opened the door. This scene frightened the man trembling all over, and a foot stretched out from the mirror, not stretched out, which was not appropriate, but a foot was pulled into the mirror, and that foot was wearing the hostess's slippers. The makeup and skin care products on the dresser were all knocked over, and it looked messy and tight, and the man turned around and asked the nanny if she saw it, and the nanny nodded in fear. Originally, the man thought that he and the nanny had seen it wrong, but after thinking about it, the woman was in the room, but at the moment she had disappeared without a trace, and the study had no windows, and the only exit from the wall on all sides was this door that led to the corridor. The man plucked up the courage to walk over to the dresser and look at the mirror. He stood still, frozen, then screamed in horror and collapsed on the ground. Because he saw in the mirror, the woman with the tear mole was caressing the head of another woman. And the woman was tapping the mirror with tears streaming down her face, as if she was going out, and that woman was his wife. His wife was pulled into the mirror. ”
"That's," Lao Hao muttered, looking east at him, Lao Hao said leisurely: "We are all people who have seen ghosts, but ghosts come out of the mirror and pull people into the mirror, this is a bit evil, aren't you being deceived by others?" "People's lives are at stake, people are looking for me to take a look, saying that I know a little bit about begging grandpa to sue grandma before getting me away, is it worth the trouble to lie to me?" Besides, I can't lie to my buddy with such an important thing. Xiang Dong was provoked by what Lao Hao said, and he was a little anxious.
Teacher Zang coughed and then said softly: "Xiangdong's story should be true, there is such a possibility. Although the voice was soft, there was silence on the table for a while.
