Chapter 69: The Mysterious Old Woman
I didn't react at all, I didn't expect Xiao K's reaction to be so big, and said to him: "Little K doesn't have to be like this!" It's hard to help you bandage it. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info at least a heart! Throw it away. ”
"Why are you driving so slowly, at a speed like yours, when you get there, it's dark, how can we come back?" Little K didn't want to talk to me about this topic, as if he had offended him, and kept accusing me of driving slowly.
Finally, it took more than two hours to arrive at this village where Little K is unknown. Following Xiao K's guidance, he arrived in front of a dilapidated brick house, and it seemed that he could only barely shelter from the wind and rain. When I got out of the car, there was only this brick house around, and the concrete floor was still beaten dozens of meters near the house, which was very empty.
At this time, a nearby resident saw us get out of the car, walk to a place about 20 meters away from us, and stand and look at us. After a while, more people joined in, but in two minutes, dozens of villagers, young and old, stood there staring at Xiao K and me, but didn't say a word.
Staring at me in broad daylight, my heart is furious. Xiao K patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't be nervous, these villagers are afraid that we will hurt the old woman inside, so they are just guarding here." ”
I thought about it, so I smiled kindly at the villagers. But the response to me was expressionless indifference, so I had to scratch my head in embarrassment and walk towards the brick house with Xiao K.
I went to the door, knocked lightly, and shouted, "Old woman, we have come to visit you from afar, please open the door." ”
Xiao K on the side touched 100 yuan from his body and put it on the ground next to the door. He pushed open the door, walked me in directly, and whispered to me: "There is a rule here, if you want to come in, put some money at the door first, how much?" Look at yourself? The villagers will take the money, and the food that my wife and I eat here is delivered by the villagers every day. If you shout outside the door, she won't promise you, just put the money and we'll go directly. ”
Walking into the room was a living room, with only a table, a few benches, and a room on the right, blocked by a beaded curtain above. Little K and I opened the bead curtain and walked in, it was very dim inside, and after getting used to it, we could see it, there was a large wooden wardrobe on the left side of the door, and there was a wooden bed in the corner opposite, on which was lying a person, and his body was covered with a thick futon. When I got closer, I saw that the old woman had silver hair, her eyes were open, her sockets were deep, and her face was full of wrinkles.
"Old woman, my name is Su Wu, I want to ask you a question, can you hear me?" I walked over and crouched down on the edge of the bed.
I waited for a few seconds, but there was no response at all. I asked twice more and still didn't get any response. I stood up, put my hand in front of the old woman's nose, sniffed my nose, and hurriedly said to Little K, "The old woman seems to be out of breath." ”
Xiao K was also shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly came over and put his hand on the old woman's neck.
"I'm not dead yet." The corners of the old woman's mouth moved.
Little K was startled and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but an elbow hit me in the chest, and my chest was so stuffy that I almost couldn't breathe. Little K turned around and hugged me: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
I signaled that he was okay, hurriedly squatted down at the head of the bed and said, "Old woman, did you hear what I said, I am a police officer, and I found a case related to mirrors." I heard that you have a mirror that can see the past and the future? Can you tell me how that works? ”
My wife didn't answer, but slowly straightened up from the bed, struggling to sit up, I reached out to help him, she waved her hand and refused. The old woman raised her eyes to look at me, then turned her eyes to Xiao K and said, "You go out." ”
Little K looked at me stunned, and I nodded to him. Although Xiao K was a little unwilling in his heart, he still went out.
"Let's talk about it!" The old woman's eyes were fixed on me.
Looking at the old woman's almost empty eyes, I had a feeling of being seen through, and I didn't dare to look directly. I repeated to my mother-in-law three times the process of seeing Green Lotus smiling in front of the mirror and then committing suicide and disappearing. She nodded with satisfaction, and the old woman didn't express her opinion, but asked me, "What is your pursuit?" ”
Could it be that the old woman is testing me? Say that justice will save the world? But I know I'm not that great. In front of the old man, who was approaching his twilight years, I said my insistence: "I want to find my missing sister." ”
"I can show you the past and the future, can you believe it?" The old woman nodded, and said in a slow tone.
"I believe it." I don't know what is driving it, but at this moment, I believe it, and I am even a little surprised by myself, as if I blurted it out.
"Okay, then I'll show you." The old woman pointed to the big wardrobe as she spoke, and said, "There is a bronze mirror in it, and there is incense under the bronze mirror. ”
I immediately got up and walked over to open the cabinet, and there was a bronze mirror about half a man high. I didn't have time to look closely, so I bent down and picked up the scattered incense sticks under the bronze mirror, and there happened to be a box of matches next to it, which was a little damp, and lit it for a while before lighting it. I can't tell what kind of incense it is, it's different from the one in the temple, and the incense is blue, which looks very weird, and when lit, there is a faint fragrance, which makes people feel very peaceful.
"Give me some incense." The old woman urged.
I hurriedly reached out and handed the incense to the old woman, she pinched the incense tail with both hands, closed her eyes, and muttered some words in her mouth that I didn't understand, which felt very awkward, but it sounded quite regular and rhythmic.
After a few minutes, the old woman opened her eyes and said to me, "Face the bronze mirror at you, and look closely at yourself in the mirror." ”
I turned around and straightened the bronze mirror. I didn't expect it to be so heavy, I estimated that there were no less than 100 catties on the body of this mirror, so it took a lot of strength to straighten it. The surface of the bronze mirror is actually not very smooth. The self in the mirror is a little distorted, and the light in the room is very dim, and only a faint figure can be seen. If I didn't move, I would barely recognize my dim self in the mirror.
"Tell me about your sister's characteristics." The old woman slowly waved the incense in her hand left and right in the air and said.
"Long black hair, melon-like face, big black eyes, small nose bridge, innocent expression, and a dirty bear in my hand......" I kept recalling all the details of Su Wen.
"Are you a cop now?" The old woman's voice was a little ethereal.
"Yes."
"Are you afraid of danger?"
"I'm afraid."
"Are you worried about sacrifice?"
"It depends on whether it's worth it."
"Are you a good person?"
"I ...... I...... I don't know! ”
