Chapter 180: Relatives
Chapter 180
The aunt looked at the person on Kaiming's back and asked, "Who is she?"
"Angel. ”
"Oh, it's Anyi's sister. The aunt picked up the hoe and said, "Why is she wrapped in a black cloth on a hot day?"
She ...... I'm a little unwell. ”
"Are you going back to the village?" she asked.
"Yes. Kaiming carried Angel up the hill on his back.
The aunt stepped forward, took Kaiming's hand and said, "It is dangerous to walk on the mountain road at night, you come to stay with me for one night, and then go again tomorrow." ”
Along the way, he was already exhausted, Kaiming nodded and followed his aunt into the house.
When his uncle saw him come in, he got up from the couch and walked into the room, the door slamming shut.
"Leave him alone. The aunt led them into the room and said, "I'll go get you some food." ”
Kaiming closed the door and put Angel flat on the bed and covered it with a quilt. Just as he was about to get up, a blackened arm stuck out of the quilt and grabbed his hand.
"Kaiming...... I am hungry. The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
He crouched beside the bed and stroked her face wrapped in black cloth, "Wait a minute, my aunt will be ready soon." ”
Angel didn't speak, she lay motionless.
Cumming put her hand back under the covers, got up and left the bedside, and walked around the room. There is a desk in the corner, there is a picture frame on the table, a young man in his twenties is smiling in the photo, holding it in his hand and looking closely, his appearance is somewhat similar to his aunt, the picture frame and the desktop have a thin layer of gray.
Knock knock
At this moment, the door rang, he put down the picture frame to open the door, and the aunt outside the door was holding two bowls of porridge with pickles floating on the porridge noodles.
Kaiming helped bring it into the room and placed it under the lamp on the bedside table.
"Auntie, who's in that picture?"
Her gaze sank down, and her head slowly raised, "His name is Kaifeng, and he is the only son of me and the old man." ”
"What about others?"
The aunt walked to the table, picked up the photo frame and wiped it, "Five years ago, Kaifeng suddenly fainted at home, and the doctor told us that he had a tumor in his lungs, which was terminal cancer. He survived two chemotherapy periods and died, so we buried him in the back mountain, and the old man and I spent that winter in tears. ”
"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness. ”
She shook her head, "It's been a boring day, and only occasionally when I think of Kai Feng will I feel some comfort in my heart." ”
Kaiming saw his aunt sniff and sniff all the way to the bedside.
"What does it smell like?" she asked.
"Yes......" Kaiming sniffed at his clothes, "I'm sorry, we haven't showered in days, and we inevitably smell like we're on our bodies." ”
She smiled, "Okay, you eat porridge while it's hot, I'll go boil water for you, and I'll take a good bath later." ”
Kemin sent her out of the door and closed it.
Back to the bedside, he picked up a bowl of hot porridge, helped Anqi up, untied the black cloth wrapped around her face, and sent a spoonful of cold white porridge into her mouth.
"Ahem...... "Angel spit it all out," Kai Ming ...... I'm so hungry...... I'm so hungry. ”
Keming picked another spoonful and put it to her lips, "Eat some." ”
She shook her head, "I'm so hungry...... I can't eat these ......."
"What do you want to eat?"
"I ...... Want to eat...... Meat...... Fresh meat...... I'm going to eat fresh meat. ”
Kaiming frowned, and a bowl of white porridge was placed back on the table.
When the water boiled, my aunt knocked on the door and came in, and saw two bowls full of porridge on the table.
"Isn't the porridge appetizing?" she asked.
Kaiming said that the porridge was too hot and that he would eat it when it was cold. The sister-in-law accosted Angel, but Angel remained silent in the bed, and Kaiming said that she had just fallen asleep.
"On a hot day, she's wrapped in a quilt, so there won't be a problem, right?"
"Auntie, please rest assured, Angel has been suffering from body cold, and it has become more and more serious recently, and she will be fine in a few days. ”
She nodded, frowning and exiting the room.
The old man sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at the wall clock, and at eight o'clock in the evening, "I'm in my own home, why should I hide from him?" he slapped his head, jumped out of bed, opened the door and looked, there was no one on the sofa in the living room.
He walked out of the room and saw his wife pressed against the door opposite, listening intently.
"What are you doing?"
"Shhhhh......hhhhh ”
"Weird?"
"The two were in the same room. ”
The husband spread his hands and said, "Do we have any other rooms in the house?"
His wife glanced at him, "After all, they don't like husband and wife, so they have to be taboo." ”
The husband nodded.
She leaned up to her husband and whispered in her ear, "Kaiming just fetched the bath water and went in, and he hasn't come out yet." ”
The husband's mouth opened wide, "They...... What the hell is going on?"
"And on this hot day, that Angel was wrapped in a black cloth and covered with a quilt, and I could clearly smell a fishy smell emanating from her. ”
The husband frowned, pulled his wife into the room and locked the door, and handed her a firewood knife, "Something may happen later, you go quickly." ”
"I ...... I really can't do it. ”
"For his sake, you have to be ruthless. ”
The wife looked at the shining blade, threw it on the bed, covered her face and sat next to it, "Dead old man, why do you want me to do such a thing?"
The husband touched his forehead and walked a few steps back and forth in the room, "You know that I am at odds with Kaiming, and entering the room will cause suspicion. ”
"So you let the old lady go, you killer of a thousand knives. She opened her throat and her husband rushed up to groom her.
"Be quiet...... I don't think that Angel is normal, and if she doesn't do it now, she may even be in danger to us. ”
She pushed her husband's hands away and sat there sobbing.
The room was foggy, and Kaiming walked to the window, looked left and right, and closed the curtains.
Back on the edge of the bed, he picked up Angel and took off the black cloth, revealing his dry and blackened body.
He bent down, picked her up, and lowered her into a pool of misty water. She held her head up and sighed softly.
Kaiming crouched behind her back and helped her wash the dirt off her hair.
Angel looked down, and a face was reflected in the water, her hair was unkempt, and her blue and purple skin solidified on the face with a prominent skull.
A pair of black-nailed hands flicked it, and the water surface turbulent, and the reflection became blurred.
"I'm so ugly right now. Her skin was soaked in water, it became soft, her pores were dilated, and she even felt her hands on her back.
"It doesn't matter, no matter what you become, in my heart, you will always be beautiful and moving. ”
She covered her eyes with black tears flowing from her eyes, "Kaiming, you accept the reality, I'm dead, just a dead corpse, we can never be together." ”
A pair of arms wrapped around her body from behind, and his voice sounded in her ears, "Anqi, I can't live without you, please believe me, I will definitely restore you to your original appearance and make your heart beat again." ”
She wept silently.
Kai Ming picked up a basin of hot water and met his aunt at the door, and the aunt looked at the black water in the basin, her eyes widened, "Oh my God, how many days have you not taken a bath?"
Kaiming smiled and walked out the door with the water.
A crack opened in the opposite room, and the husband poked his head out and pointed to the hidden door of the room.
She shook her head, her husband winced again, and she stamped out of the living room.
Kaiming poured water into the ditch, saw his aunt coming out, frowned and came to the side, "Kaiming, don't blame your aunt for talking too much, ...... you and Anqi?"
He was stunned for a moment and put down the basin in his hand, "Auntie, don't get me wrong, she's not feeling well, I'm just taking care of her in the room." ”
"Ah...... I see. Auntie touched the back of her head and smiled, "It's that I'm thinking too much." ”
"Auntie, I want to borrow some cosmetics. ”
"Ha, I understand, women love to dress up, but cosmetics, I'm a village girl......" her head lowered, and suddenly raised again, "It's really there." ”
Kaiming followed her into the house and waited in the living room for a while as she came out with a bag of makeup.
There are lipsticks, moisturizers, and nail polish, and all the brands are unopened.
"A few years ago, Kaifeng bought me this set of things in the city, you know that I am a rural woman's family, burying my head in the field all day under the sun, how can I use these things, besides, if I dress up and show the door, it will be strange if I am not laughed to death by those old ladies at the entrance of the village. ”
She shoved a bag of things into Kaiming's hand and looked at Angel wrapped in the quilt at the door.
Cumming thanked her, keeping her eyes out of the door, and the door slammed shut, leaning against his back and breathing a sigh of relief.
Angel sat on the bed, staring at the cosmetics poured out of the bag.
Cumming picked up the lipstick and applied it to her purple lips, clasped her hands, and painted her black nails red.
"Kaiming, my hands are numb and no longer touch. I was scared, scared that if even my brain became numb, I would become a walking corpse without feelings. ”
Kai Ming took her into his arms, "Don't worry, I won't let this happen, I heard that with the blood of a living person and a black spell, you can bring the dead back to life." I'll definitely find the black-robed man and ask for a way to bring him back to life. ”
She leaned on his shoulder, "Kemin...... I am hungry. ”
The clock on the wall ticked, the hands overlapped at twelve o'clock, and she saw her husband walking up and down the room, and when he was tired, he stood by the window and watched the night.
He turned his head to look, "I don't understand, what are you still hesitating about, if you wait, he will be even more dangerous." ”
"Dead old man, if you want me to do this kind of thing, you will not be afraid of retribution. ”
"He's our dearest, are you watching him die?"
"Why don't you do it yourself? Let me go to a woman's house, you are really not a human being, a dead old man who kills a thousand knives. ”
He turned his face away, "Kaiming is the son of the eldest brother after all, and I will meet the eldest brother in Huangquan soon, can't you save some face for me?"
His wife glared at him and fell on the bed crying.
Knock knock
There was a muffled noise on the wall, the husband turned around, the wife stopped crying, and the two looked at each other.
She wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth, grabbed the firewood knife on the bed and went out. A person came to the door next door, his ear was close to the door panel, and it was quiet inside, he lifted the bright and flickering wood knife, and his left hand trembled and stretched out to the doorknob, twisting slightly, clicking, and the lock made a slight sound.
She looked back, and her husband waved his hand and closed the door, and the last light in the hallway was gone, leaving only a pounding heartbeat in the darkness.
