Chapter 60: The Diary (2)
"My daughter, no, she's not my daughter......" Li Zhu's eyes moved twice: "Li Xiulan, I don't know much about her, since I knew that she was not my own, I didn't care much about her." ”
"When Li Xiulan was young, about 20 years ago, she met a young man in the city." Li Zhuan's memory seemed a little vague, lit a cigarette again, and said intermittently: "I only heard about ...... That young man's surname is Wang, and his family is quite rich...... Later, Li Xiulan had his child, but this person didn't know why and refused to get married. ”
Later, Li Xiulan rarely went home, and once she came back and brought a baby, saying that it was her own child; That night, I heard her talking on the phone in the room, and she was arguing with the person on the other side of the phone, and the quarrel was very fierce, which probably meant that the young man went on business, and married a boss's girl behind her back, and she didn't want her own daughter. ”
Li Zhuchang sighed, and the cigarette in his hand bottomed out in a while: "At the end of that phone call, I heard Li Xiulan threaten the person opposite, saying that if she doesn't get married, she will kill Zi (harmony), this child is too stupid...... If my wife hadn't told me that she wasn't my daughter, I would definitely have stopped Li Xiulan at that time; The next day, I figured it out and went to the room to find her and asked her not to do stupid things, but Li Xiulan was gone, she left a letter, begging me to take care of her daughter, and her daughter's name was chosen, Wang Qianyu. ”
"I know in my heart that Li Xiulan still has that man in her heart, otherwise how can the child be surnamed Wang?" Li Zhu lit a cigarette again and muttered: "Later, I brought up the child, her brother-in-law's family thought the child was pitiful, and would send a sum of child support every month. ”
"But ......" Li Zhu said this, his face was still ugly, and the look in his eyes became frightened: "But this summer, Wang Qianyu got a strange illness not long after she came back. ”
"Epilepsy?" Zhao Huanshu remembered the medicine bottle he saw at the bedside just now, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know what it is, but the village doctor looked at it and said it was like it, so I bought medicine as he said." The look of fear on Li Zhuan's face became more and more obvious, and his voice began to tremble: "Anyway, that child can't go out of the room, as soon as she arrives at the door, she shouts that someone wants to kill her, and then she starts to have convulsions, and when she is alone in the house, she will only sit on the bed and cry and laugh." ”
"And, from the first day of her illness, strange things began to happen in the village." Li Zhu bit his lip and was speechless for a long time.
"Grandpa......" At this time, Tang Rou on the side couldn't bear to see Li Zhu scared anymore, and interrupted: "The day after my sister got sick, people began to die in the village. ”
When she said this, Tang Rou's face was very ugly, she pursed her lips, and finally said: "After my cousin got sick, there were strange things in the village one after another, at the beginning, every morning, the body would be found on the way down the mountain, and then one day, a young man came to the village, saying that there was something unclean, so that the people in the village should not go out at night anyway, if there is really a big thing to go down the mountain, you must light a red incense, if the cigarette of the incense stick, there are signs of breaking on the way, you must go back immediately, Otherwise, you will surely die. ”
"Young man?" Zhao Huanshu felt strange: "Isn't it a Taoist monk?" ”
"It's just a young man, who looks like he's in his 20s, and he says he likes to travel everywhere, and his ancestors are Taoist priests." Tang Rou thought for a while and recalled: "After that, he would come to the village once every three or five days, saying that he would help exorcise ghosts, by the way, the hot springs in the back mountain were also discovered by him." ”
"Every time that man came to the village, he wore a thick red coat no matter how hot it was, and he didn't say what his name was." Tang Rou tilted her head and said, "Later, those who are younger than him in the village are called 'Brother Hong', and the older ones are called 'Little Red'." ”
"That's the straightforward way to call it." The fat man laughed awkwardly on the side.
Tang Rou nodded, and continued: "Actually, the people in the village are very grateful to that person, after all, with his method of lighting incense, everyone has never had an accident when they walk at night, which is why I picked you up that day with incense in my hand." ”
"But ......" At this time, Tang Rou's face darkened again, and she stopped talking.
Li Zhu kept smoking, and seemed to have eased up a little, and then Tang Rou's words said: "Let me tell you, that Xiaohong didn't appear later, and not long after he left, some villagers began to have nightmares, and there were more and more people dreaming, and the content was the same." ”
"Those people will dream that there is a woman in black who has a soaked face and hands and is standing by the bed and laughing, laughing and laughing, and then a hand will come in through the window and drag these people away, and the dream will be gone."
"Later...... I don't know who it is, but I know that these phenomena were caused by Wang Qianyu's illness, so everyone said that she was a plague god and wanted to get rid of it. Li Zhu froze and continued: "Of course, that's all the discussion behind the scenes, after all, murder is illegal, and no one dares to say it blatantly." ”
"After that, the rumors spread more and more, and people began to knock on my door in the middle of the night, and the noise was so loud that I rolled out of bed several times; Some people poured paint on my door and wrote, saying that there was a plague god in my house......"
"I, I'm ......" Li Zhu's voice choked, her head buried in her hands for a long time and she couldn't speak: "Wang Qianyu's illness is getting worse and worse, a few days ago, she would scream in the middle of the night, we went to her room, she shrank at the foot of the bed and convulsed, saying take her to the doctor, as long as she was carried to the door, she would struggle to run back to the bed, that strength was greater than anyone else, and then screamed that someone was going to kill her, and she foamed at the mouth after speaking." ”
"There are more and more people who come to the house at night to harass Wang Qianyu, they want to force Wang Qianyu to death, even when I go out, someone will throw stones from behind, once broke my head and required six stitches; The old friends who have been there for decades no longer come to the house, and even the brother-in-law who provided Wang Qianyu with school did not move. ”
"I thought, the child is so miserable, and I can't afford to hire a doctor, so she screams, convulses, foams, and pulls crazy all day long; So I gritted my teeth. Li Zhuan's breathing became extremely rapid, and a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "The night you came, when Tang Rou went out...... I don't think there's anyone at home...... I just covered the child to death, and I thought it was too painful for her to live, but what I didn't expect was that the next day after you went to the hot springs, I wanted to go in and find a place to bury the child's body, but as soon as I opened the door...... As soon as the door opens!! ”
"I didn't do it, I didn't do it like the child's corpse!" Li Zhu screamed, his eyes widened: "Later, just now, I heard upstairs that Teacher Zhao was going to the child's room, and I was afraid that he would find something, so I was in a hurry...... Just ......"
"You're just thinking about killing me too, aren't you?" Zhao Huanshu looked at Li Zhu with a complicated expression.
