Chapter 10 Prisoner
"What crime have I committed, and why do you imprison me?" ”
"Hey, you are indeed not guilty of it, but I am really helpless to lock you up, as the saying goes, if people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, why not ghosts?" We don't go out to disturb sentient beings, we just want to work at sunrise and rest at sunset on this one-third of an acre of land, so why do you bother to come and destroy all this?
You know that since we are ghosts, we have long stopped eating fireworks in the world, but why do we still farm, buy and sell, and even open restaurants and wineries? That's because we want to perform our duties everywhere like we did in life, fundamentally different from those lonely souls and wild ghosts, in order to get out of the ghost path as soon as possible and find an opportunity to return to adulthood, so this town not only requires everyone to work, but also strictly prohibits anyone from changing at will and showing up wantonly, in order to become an adult as soon as possible. ”
"But, but, but I have no intention of destroying this place, I also have a family and a room, and I want to live in peace." "I continue to work hard, hoping that Lei Yuhao can understand that I really don't have the heart to rebel, at least not yet, and even if I kill Lei Yuhao, what can I do? I'm going to be the governor of this ghost town? Besides, what do those two pieces of ancient jade have to do with me? I just want to regain my memories and know the situation.
"Hahahaha, you don't have it now, but as long as you come out, it's hard to say, hey, Xiaofeng, it stands to reason that I shouldn't kill you, killing you is just disloyalty, unfilial piety, and treachery, but... Hey, you'd better be more considerate. After saying that, his footsteps faded away, and he slowly became inaudible.
I kept banging on the door, shaking vigorously, hoping that someone would come, even if I wasn't let out, talk to me, at least let me understand where I am now, it is best to bring a message to Chunxiang, so that she can think of a way, no matter what, she still has to call Lei Yuhao Abba, I can't die here in vain, thinking of Qi Xuanzhu's scarlet blood mist, and people's indifferent eyes, I shuddered.
But everything was in vain, no matter how I tossed, no one paid attention to me, and at noon, someone threw me a few dry cakes and a gourd of water from outside the hole the size of a dog's hole under the door, and I seemed to see a life-saving straw, lying on the side of the hole and screaming hoarsely, but in exchange for a cold silence and distant footsteps.
I sat in the corner, eating dry cakes, drinking cold water, thinking about Chunxiang and Lei Yuhao's words, I remember that Lei Yuhao called me Lei Dangjia, could it be that my surname is Lei? No, it must not be me, otherwise when he calls me Zhang Xiaofeng, I won't agree so naturally, the first day of October? What day is it? I racked my brains and thought about it for a long time, I don't remember it at all, but when I think about it like this, I always feel as if something is urging, constantly counting down, but it has nothing to do with my life and death, and even seems to be bigger than my life and death, what can be greater than my own life and death?
Nibbling on the hard stone-like cakes, I couldn't help but think of the spring fragrant beef noodles, smooth noodles, warm soup, crispy meat, each of which kept rotating in front of me.
Until it was dark, there was a deathly silence inside and outside, there was no light in the house, there was no window, I really couldn't see my fingers, and there was a cold wind blowing from the crack in the door, and the yin air hit people, I leaned on the corner of the wall, tightly wrapped in a thin coat, shivering from the cold, no one sent dinner, and there was still half a pot of water left, but this cold water was getting colder and colder the more I drank, as if drinking ice water in winter, it was cold from the inside out.
I tried to stand up and move a few laps, just moved a few times the stomach began to growl, quickly gave up, and finally had to put all the straw on the ground to try to cover the body, although it is not very useful, but it is better than nothing, until the second more drums, I still have no sleep, the deeper the night, the greater the cold, the cold from the beginning of the cold wind hit, into a quiet rise from the ground, the ground condensed into a thin layer of water droplets, the clothes on the body have been wet with moisture, everything that can be touched, all are hanging water droplets, Ticking down, the straw on my body emitted a unique musty smell after being soaked in moisture, pungent and unpleasant, but despite this, I still held it in my arms, hugged it tightly, and didn't dare to let go.
I didn't sleep all night, until I saw a white light in the crack of the door, I felt a little more comfortable, I hurriedly walked over, leaned against the crack of the door, and let the white light shine on my back, even if it was just a narrow one, it could make me feel extremely warm.
Until noon, the person who delivered the meal came again, this time there was no water, only two dry cakes, I was like a hungry tiger pounced on food, flew up, picked it up and put it in the mouth to bite, only two mouthfuls choked and rolled my eyes, fortunately there was some cold water in the kettle, hurriedly poured up, and when it was time to eat the second cake, I took a bite down, bit out a white note, I was busy taking it out and opening it, there were three names written on it: Zhang Xiaofeng, Li Yuanmei, Cui Dali.
Turning it over, there are only these three names on a note, and nothing else, Zhang Xiaofeng is me, Li Yuanmei is Mr. Li's wife, Sister Yuanmei, and Cui Dali is not Brother Cui, why give me this? Are you afraid that I will forget what my name is, or that I will forget what my friends are called?
It's all at this time, and there is this kind of fun, nine times out of ten it was done by Mr. Li's nerd, in order to laugh at me, this unsympathetic thing, I am still so good with him, and I actually denounced me at a critical time, if Lao Tzu has a day to go out, he must let him die a good death, no, they are all ghosts, then let his soul fly away, and his body and spirit will be destroyed, Lao Tzu will also burn his broken school, let him know what it means to know what it means to be afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts for seven points for people to be afraid of people.
After calming down, I went to look at these words carefully, and found that the words were written a little delicately, and the more I looked at them, the more it looked like they were written by women, women? Then it's only Chunxiang, if she wrote it, this thing is another way, these three names must represent some kind of meaning, think of us who she said, is it that among these three people, in addition to me, the two of them are also people like me?
From this, I thought of the madman's wife Lotus and his son Xiaoyuan, and remembered what Chunxiang said that everything can be reorganized, and according to what Lei Yuhao said yesterday, if you kill me, it will be treacherous, disloyal and unfilial, I suddenly have an extremely bold speculation, I used to be the governor of this Longchang Town, but Lei Yuhao played his tricks and grabbed his position, and maybe even after the time, he killed everyone in the town, so he will try to erase my memory and the people around him, so he will kill me, I couldn't bear it, it turned out that he was ashamed.
But even if you understand this, what can you do? If there is a janitor or something here, I will try to move it with affection and reason, maybe I can open up and let me out secretly for the sake of the face of the town governor before me, but now, there is no one outside, don't say that I am the former governor of the town, even if I lock Lei Yuhao in, there is nothing I can do.
Hey, it's a pity that Chunxiang has worked hard for me, and I don't know how she is now, I hope Lei Yuhao didn't rematch her to another family so quickly, it's better to match her after I die, out of sight and out of mind,
Thinking of this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind: If all this was planned before, Chunxiang was actually in a gang with Lei Yuhao, and they joined forces to deceive me, in order to lure me into the bait, and when I showed my feet, kill him as soon as possible?
After thinking about it, it's not right, it doesn't make sense, if you want to kill, why don't you do it sooner? Besides, I don't have anything they want, that is, I'm worthless to them, so what's the point of arranging Haruka to be my wife and Obuchi to be my son? Is it really like Lei Yuhao said that he can't bear to repay his kindness with virtue?
No, absolutely not, there must be a secret in this, and I have a vague sense that this secret is very important, important enough to save my life.
I can't doubt Chunxiang now, she is the only person I can rely on, if I can't even believe her, there will be only a dead end, thinking, by the way, I took out the jade tube from my arms, this is the last thing Chunxiang gave me, even if it is buried with me, it will never let Lei Yuhao get it, although I don't know what this jade tube is of use to him, but even if it is just to make him anxious for a while, it can relieve me of a trace of hatred in my heart.
I was playing with the jade pipe, and something suddenly flashed in my mind, black, fluttering in the wind, velvet, Lingqi?
I grasped this little memory and slowly expanded it, so that a Li character embroidered with gold thread faintly appeared on the flag. Chunxiang seems to have mentioned a person surnamed Li that night, ah, yes, Master Li, will this Lingqi have anything to do with this so-called Master of the Li Family?
Master Li, Mr. Li, Li Yuanmei, will there be some kind of connection between them? Mr. Li is a ghost, Li Yuanmei is a human, could it be that Li Yuanmei and I supervise the town together? So that means there were two governors in this town back then, one was me and the other was Li Yuanmei? What about Cui Dali?
No matter how you look at it, Brother Cui doesn't seem to be a person who has been a governor of the town, if you want to say that he has been a bandit of Xiangma, there are still people who believe it, besides, such a small town, it is impossible to have three governors at the same time anyway.
Thinking about it, my head began to ache faintly again, so I had to close my eyes, no longer think, because I didn't sleep all night, now I have eaten and drunk enough, leaning against the corner, as the body gradually warms up, people gradually fall asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, my body trembled, I woke up from the cold, I opened my eyes and saw that it was already dark all around, I slowly stood up, moved my hands and feet, and made a rattling sound, just about to clean up the straw, and planned to hold the cold, only to see a sudden flash of fire in the dog hole, and threw in two dry cakes and a pot of water, and a small black cloth bag, yo? What's going on today? Lei Yuhao is merciful?
I didn't think much about it, so I hurriedly walked over, drank a few sips of water first, picked up the cloth belt and opened it to see, it turned out to be a fire sickle and fire velvet, I instantly understood that this cake probably had nothing to do with Lei Yuhao, and nine times out of ten it was sent by Chunxiang.
I hurriedly crawled to the dog hole and shouted softly, "Haruka! Haruka! I picked up the cake in disappointment, and after thinking about it, it was not right, so I quickly sat back in the corner with the cake in my arms, and when I opened it, there was a note inside.
rubbed a handful of straw, lit it as a candle, unfolded the note, and wrote more than a dozen words on it: "If you want to live, you must find memory, the jade tube is the whistle, the Lei family token, this belongs to you, keep it properly." ”
That's right! It seems that I am right, I used to be the governor of Longchang, sure enough, what means did Lei Yuhao use, erase my memory, seek power and usurp, and become the governor, and from this point of view, I am also surnamed Lei, so the Lei master he called yesterday is calling me, and this jade pipe is my thing, Chunxiang is just taking things back to the original owner, but unfortunately now the whole town is Lei Yuhao's people, only the three of us, want to regain the position of the governor, difficult, besides, they have also erased their memories, it is even more difficult, but in any case, Now that I have a valid reason, the first question is how to get out of here, and I believe that if I can go out and see them, I will be able to convince them.
Suddenly, I was in a good mood, I ate the cake, picked up the second cake, just took a bite, there was actually a note in it, and then I looked at the fire that was about to be extinguished, and there were only four words, but it was these four words, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my body: the first day after tomorrow.
