Chapter 37: Xiao Li

After I was released from prison, I immediately began to prepare to go to Baiyun Mountain again. I told Hotaru all about Amin's investigation www.biquge.info, but I didn't tell her about going to Baiyun Mountain again this time, because we were worried that it would be dangerous to go to Baiyun Mountain.

This time, we went during the day, because there were a lot of people during the day, and if there were really ghosts, they wouldn't come out during the day, right? This time, we mainly went to see if the coffin of the Yueyun Painting Workshop, the dolls and gods in the Songtao Courtyard, and the red koi in the waterhole were all the same as the police said. There is also the coffin pit that Fat Bao didn't tell the police, and we plan to go and see it.

Since the place on the other side of the ancient well of the Yueyun Painting Workshop and the Songtao Courtyard are not open to the public, we all sneak in when there are few people.

To our surprise, those things were really gone. There is not a trace at all. Disappeared without a trace. But we didn't make sure there were any red koi two or three meters long in the pool, because the pool was not small and it was difficult to find. Besides, although this koi fish does not eat meat, there is no guarantee that it will not hurt people, so we did not go into the water to look for it, and there is no need for this, because I think that the koi fish should have little to do with what happened to Amin.

In the end, Fei Bao and I searched for the coffin pit in the forest in the front yard of the Songtao Villa. Although it is daytime, the pine trees are tall and dense, so they appear dark in the forest, and it still feels like it is deep at night.

The forest is relatively large, and when Fat Bao fell into the coffin pit, it was at night, and the line of sight was insufficient, so it was difficult to locate it, so no matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find that place now.

Soon it was evening, my mother was coming home, and I was still under curfew for the night, so I had to go back.

On the way back, I didn't talk to Feibao much, and many facts hit me, making me feel more and more like I was dreaming that night. But Amin was so frightened that he went insane, and the mirror was a testament to the horrors we had encountered that night.

I always felt that some of this contradictory fact must be hypocritical, or that I was wrong in judgment.

Fat Bao dropped me off at the door, I looked at my phone and thought: Oh no, it's past six o'clock, and my mother has already left work. Wait a minute, I'm sure I'll be scolded.

I quickly opened the door and walked in. At this time, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa in the hall, bowing her head, and I didn't know what I was looking at.

I was ready to be scolded and said, "I'm back!" ”

"It's back!" Mom gave me a gentle look and continued to lower her head.

Mom's unusual behavior made me curious. I sneaked up behind me. Spotted Mom looking at our family's photo album. Photos taken in the past will be placed in this album. Mom was looking at a family photo of our family, which was taken in a park, and Dad was still there, and I was only seven or eight years old. I was sitting on my dad's shoulder and all three of us were smiling so much.

I looked at my mother's affectionate appearance, and she must have been thinking about her father.

"Look at what, look!" Mom seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and she didn't look back, but her tone was like looking at me and talking.

"Ahh I...... I'm just curious! ”

"Come and see if you want, don't keep peeking behind me!"

I sat next to my mother.

"Sometimes I think your loose personality is exactly like your father!" Mom said, "The good ones are not inherited, but the bad ones are all inherited for you!" ”

"My name is freedom! Isn't it casual! ”

"Empty shouting without a goal and without an ideal is the same as being casual, okay?"

"How can I have! I ......, "I think Mom has a point." I really don't have any goals, I don't have any ideals, and shouting about freedom all day long is just a lofty excuse for my own casualness, "Then why did you marry such a loose husband and get me to inherit his character!" It's all your fault. ”

"His kind of casualness is different from yours, he at least has a goal, but he is a little casual with people and things. Not as lazy as you are! ”

If this continues, my mother may be teaching me endlessly. So I immediately changed the subject, pointed to the photo album and said, "Mom, you see how handsome Dad used to be!" ”

"When it comes to your sore spots, it will only change the subject, which is called escaping! Your dad is a man who never runs away from problems! The good stuff isn't inherited at all! ”

"Maybe this point of mine is inherited from yours!" I said with a smile.

"What did you say!" Mom's domineering look knocked me down directly, and I knew I had said the wrong thing.

I immediately changed the subject: "Just kidding! By the way, how can you be so leisurely to look at the previous photos! ”

"Because you always shouted Xiao Li before, it reminds me of your father! Your father's nickname is also Xiao Li! ”

"How can it be so coincidental? In Baiyun Mountain, I also met a person named Xiao Li! As I spoke, I looked at the photo and felt more and more strange about my father's appearance. I took the album and studied it carefully.

When my mother saw that I was acting strangely, she asked, "What's wrong?" Have you forgotten what your dad looks like? And no wonder, you were only eight when he left! ”

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise, "Why is Daddy's appearance so familiar!" ”

"Are you stupid, he's your father, of course familiar!"

"Mom, when was this picture taken?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it was taken the year your dad had an accident!"

"How old was he then?"

"What are you asking for?"

"You say! I want to know! ”

"In your thirties!"

"Is there a picture of my dad in his twenties? I want to see how young he looks! ”

"I don't know if there is! It's been a long time! ”

"Find it!" I said with a little excitement, "I want to see it!" ”

"Xiaoke, are you alright?" My mother saw that I looked a little inappropriate, so she asked me.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! I took a deep breath and calmed down, "Mom, can you help me find it!" ”

"Okay! Wait a minute! She rummaged through the album but couldn't find it, "You wait for me, I remember there seems to be one on the counter in the room." ”

Mom walked to her room on the second floor, and soon she walked down with a photo, "This photo was taken not long after I got married to your father." I haven't taken it out for a long time, and it's a little moldy! ”

I immediately took it and looked at it, and the picture was yellowed and a little moldy, but I could still see it. It was a photo of my father and mother in their twenties at the beach. Seeing the young mother, I can't feel the queen-level domineering in her, she looks like a pure and beautiful girl, maybe this is the so-called people can't be good-looking! And when I saw my dad, my mouth couldn't close and I couldn't believe my eyes. That's Xiao Li, and the young man in his twenties in the photo is Xiao Li.

How so? Could it be that after separating from Feibao and them in Baiyun Mountain that night, it was really just a dream? I dreamed of zombies, I dreamed of scaly monsters, and I dreamed of my dad coming to save me? But no, although Xiao Li's appearance is exactly the same as that of his father in his twenties, I was not born at that time, and this photo is the first time I have seen it, I have never seen such a young father before, even if it is a dream, my subconscious will not appear to be my father's young appearance! Besides, I didn't know that my father's previous nickname was Xiao Li.

So I immediately asked my mother, "Mom, I remember that my father's previous job was as a security guard, right?" ”

"That's right! He's been a security guard for years! ”

I looked at my mom in amazement.

"What's wrong, Ko? You don't look good! ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay! What kind of personality do you think he is? ”

"Why are you so strange today, I haven't seen you ask these questions before? Why do you suddenly want to know about your dad today? ”

"I just want to know! Say! ”

Seeing that I was in a hurry, my mother thought for a moment and said, "Your father gives people the impression that many things don't matter. He does not fight with others, he is a person who has no quarrel with the world. ”

"What else? Is there anything else? ”

"He's a loose guy! To put it nicely, he is a very calm person, who is not in a hurry or impatient! I don't know why, there is an invisible sense of security when I am around him! ”

"That's it!" I thought to myself, "Dad is a security guard, and Xiao Li said that he is also a security guard." Dad gives people a sense of calm and security, and so does Xiao Li. I didn't know anything about these things because I was very young when my father died. In other words, if I really dreamed in Baiyun Mountain that night, it would be impossible for me to dream of such a real father. So if it's not a dream, what's going on? How did I meet my father, who had been dead for more than ten years? And he's a young-looking dad! If Xiao Li and his father are not the same person, then how can they explain so much in common? ”

These mysteries completely surround me and trap me in an endless abyss!
