Chapter 9: Untie the Knot
I was stunned, I didn't know why she asked me that.
Wan'er choked up: "In the mountains and forests that day, I can actually see you." ”
I opened my mouth and was about to say something, but Wan'er said again: "Actually, I also know that Ah Tian was so seriously injured at that time, even if he didn't die at that time, he shouldn't have survived." ”
Speaking of sadness, Wan'er lifted the end of her water sleeve to wipe away her tears, her thin body was constantly trembling, and it was very distressing to watch.
I asked her, "If you know, why ......?"
"I met Ah Tian in the troupe, he was just an errand runner, and the gap between our identities was too big, but I thought that others were good, so I decided to follow him, and when I made a relationship, Ah Tian also gave me a ring."
Speaking of this, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "I remember that at that time, you were also present. ”
After a pause, she said again: "But I was taken by the young master of the Huang family who had tuberculosis, and the boss of the troupe took money and forced me to marry...... Also ......"
Wan'er began to cry as she spoke.
I stood motionless next to me, but Zhang Mingming was very emotional, standing next to me and wiping his tears.
She continued to whimper: "That day in the mountains and forests, I lost the ring that Ah Tian gave me, I put it in the package, but the package was gone. ”
When she said this, I seemed to understand something immediately.
So I said, "So, you want me to help you get that ring back?" ”
"Yes!"
She looked at me expectantly, and said faintly: "Ah Tian is dead, that ring is the only token between me and him, and without it, I will have no soul...... So, could you please help me get it back? ”
Seeing me nodding and saying yes, Wan'er's expression immediately relaxed a lot.
She stood up and bowed deeply to me, then turned and walked towards the line where the rooster had left, until it finally disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Ming sobbed a few times, seemed to be very reluctant, and wanted to chase after him, but I stopped him.
He was about to say something, I grabbed his wrist, I was very strong, he screamed twice, I raised his hand, the gold ring was on his middle finger, the jasper shone red brighter than before.
Buckled it hard, but the ring still couldn't come down, and Zhang Ming screamed in pain.
At this time, I heard a burst of electricity, the light above my head flickered, Zhang Mingming sneezed, he shivered, and said to me: "Song Kun, it's so cold......"
Indeed, at this moment, the temperature is a little lower than just now.
I looked around, and it was pitch black, and we couldn't see anything but the scarlet half-open coffin.
Faintly, I saw white smoke rising from the coffin, much like dry ice had been placed inside.
Zhang Mingming was facing away from the coffin, he seemed to be getting colder and colder, trembling and unable to say a word, at this moment, I saw a pair of thin people around his neck.
Immediately after, the hands grabbed his neck, and Zhang Mingming stretched out his hand to ask me for help, but before his hand touched my body, the hands dragged it into the coffin.
Behind Zhang Mingming, the owner with withered hands is still Wan'er.
Her appearance at the moment is completely different from just now, her face is stone gray, her eyes can't be seen in her pupils, and it is pitch black.
After pressing Zhang Mingming's whole person into the coffin, she looked back at me again, and suddenly said, "Exchange my ring for him!" ”
After saying this, she also entered the coffin, and after that, the lid of the coffin was also closed at once.
I hurriedly stepped forward and tried to push the lid open, but it seemed to be much heavier than the previous one, covering it like a cement slab, and no matter how much I pushed it, it would not move.
I patted the coffin and shouted Zhang Mingming's name, but there was no sound in it that responded to me. So I put my ear on it again, but I still couldn't hear anything.
I was a little panicked in my heart, and I regretted it a little in my heart, Zhang Mingming is different from me after all, he has never been in contact with these things before, what will be the result, whether he will die because of this, I don't know at all.
Just when I was restless, my surroundings suddenly darkened, and standing in the darkness, I waited for the next scene to come.
Half a minute later, when the surroundings were bright again, I found myself back in the middle of the living room.
Suddenly looking towards the sofa, Zhang Mingming was sleeping on it, muttering something from time to time, no different from what he looked like just now.
The room temperature has returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Zhang Mingming even buttoned his nose, and the ring on his finger was still very dazzling.
Relieved, I wiped my sweaty head and went back to the bathroom to wipe my face again.
The phone rang, and it was He Bi calling, and she said that the store was closed, and she was going to report to me about today's income and expenditure.
I really don't have the mood to care about all this now, I just said, I'll talk about it tomorrow, and let her go back to rest.
Hung up the phone, I was about to go back to the dormitory, suddenly thought of something, so I called He Bi again, she asked me what was wrong, I thought about it for a while and said to her:
"Tomorrow morning, you can take a taxi to my house."
As soon as he said this, He Bi obviously stalked over there, no wonder, what is the matter with a big girl's family, let the family come to the house.
But I didn't bother to explain so much, and added:
"I remember to go to the store to get a few things, dried white fungus, dried longan, red dates, lotus seeds, and then bring some rock sugar. Remember? ”
Although I couldn't see He Bi's expression at the moment through the phone, I could guess that she must be a little broken now.
I was about to ask something more, but I told her that it wasn't too early, and that she would come early tomorrow.
With that, I hung up.
I didn't sleep very well when I got back to the dormitory, I always felt Wan'er dangling in front of me, I was never afraid of ghosts, although they were everywhere, but each one was very pitiful.
It's just that some can easily untie the knot, and some have to do their best.
The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Zhang sleeping on the couch in the same position as last night. I came out of the bathroom and called him a few times, but he still didn't answer me.
I thought of the moment last night, when he was caught in the coffin by that Wan'er.
Hurry up and walk over and touch his body, it's cold!
I touched his snort again, and he ran out of breath.
He's dead?
At this moment, my phone rang, and He Bi called: "Mr. Song, I have entered the community, how many buildings and units do you live in?" ”
