Uttering out of "Yuefu Poems"
It's night, and the stars are raining down.
Qiu Luo can't remember most of the events that night, but she only remembers that through the Ming Tile, she saw a ray of light passing across the tile.
There was a babbling children's song in her ears, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, and she quickly shrank into the quilt. In a haze, she felt something lingering on the tip of her nose, and she smelled a burst of aroma.
What happened that night may have been made up by her, or maybe it really happened.
She was in the third grade that year.
"I swear, I really had those moons bloom on the little bench that night." She trembled and picked up the juice in front of her and took a sip.
"Maybe it was dragged by rats?" Bai Sang asked uncertainly.
"I thought so too, and the next day, I secretly took a ladder and searched all over the attic, but I found nothing but a few notebooks, not even a mouse hole."
"It's just a few roses, so you won't remember it for a lifetime, right?" Bai Sang is so puzzled, the people who have come to the store recently are strange.
"Don't talk nonsense." The boss tugged at his hair, "Did anything else happen after that?" The boss looked at Qiu Luo.
"I don't know......"
"You ......" Bai Sang wanted to scold people, the anger that the Han clan had given him just now had not subsided. But he looked at the gray-haired old lady, and he couldn't say anything swearing.
"But on that day, a few old people died there." Qiu Luo said slowly, "This juice is delicious, I haven't drunk it for a long time." β
She took several sips of juice in succession, and said, "I told my friends who had a good time with me about seeing the thief star, and they all said that I was dazzled, but I really saw it." β
"You're sleeping." Bai Sang swallowed the rose cake and took a sip of tea.
"Not really!" The child's tone, Bai Sang shuddered when he heard it.
The boss was wondering which year and where there had been a large-scale meteor. He asked, "Have you read those notebooks?" He wanted to ask what year it was, but he didn't think Qiu Luo remembered.
Or did she make it up? I don't know.
"The notebook is empty, I used it." Qiu Luo was puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with the notebook?" β
The boss shook his head.
"The second week I saw the thief star." Qiu Luo looked at the cake, and then glanced at the boss, the boss nodded, Qiu Luo grinned, picked up the cake, broke a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth, "I put a pot of orchids on the small stool, and it is gone." You think, the roses may have been dragged by mice, but with such a big pot, mice can't drag it, right? She gestured as she spoke.
"Where do you live?" Bai Sang held back for a long time, "You didn't live with your parents?" β
"My sister gave birth to a nephew that year, and the family didn't have enough room to live in. It just so happened that the people on the other side of my house moved away, so I borrowed their room to live. Qiu Luo gathered her silver hair, "When I died, I felt fluttering all over, and I ate my usual things, like the poison that pierced the intestines, how did I come to you, no different from when I was alive?" β
"Did you still live there?" The boss didn't talk.
"How dare you live? Hurriedly moved out. β
Bai Sang looked at this chubby old lady and felt that she was a little lacking in heart.
"Are you leaving?" The boss stood up, found a book and handed it to her, "Don't worry about that, let's leave!" β
"Okay!" At this point, the old lady was very transparent, "It's time to go, save trouble for your children and grandchildren." β
Seven days after Qiu Luo's death, it was night, and the boss lit the soul-attracting lamp for her.
Sending Qiu Luo away, the boss took out a booklet, studied the ink by himself, and wrote: "Who studies the spring wind and rain......"
"Look, look ......" Bai Sang suddenly tugged at the boss's sleeve excitedly, and there were three points of nervousness in his tone.
"How so?" The boss walked up to Bai Sang and went to see the soul lamp.
When the words fell, the boss had already appeared at the ferry.
Qiu Luo was still slowly crawling towards the wooden boat in a twisted position. And on her back, thin grass sprouts slowly grew.
"Have you ever heard the sound of grass coming out of the ground?" The grass sprouts grew taller, and a little girl grew out of the grass.
"Have you ever heard the sound of earthworms wriggling in the ground?"
"Have you ever heard the sound of snow melting in the ground?"
"Have you ever heard the sound of rats gouging holes?"
As the grass grows more and more, Qiu Luo's soul slowly crumbles into slag, turning from slag to mist, and the grass tips shake with the mist, and those mist sticks to the grass tips and slowly disappears.
With every step the girl takes, she is an inch taller, and when she walks in front of the boss, she already looks like an adult.
"You certainly haven't heard it, you smell it, I still have the smell of dirt on me."
"Heh, who raised this thing? It's disgusting. The double shear skimmed across the river and landed on the boss's shoulder.
"Can Liang Shangtu replenish that soul?" The boss lowered his eyes, pointed to Qiu Luo's soul, and asked slowly.
"What's going on? It's all absorbed by those grasses. "Double cut said pitiful.
"Ask you! Why should I listen to these voices, why should I be buried in the ground? "The woman was already sticking to the boss's face, and the stench was coming from the surface. The double scissors quickly flew away.
"Why me?"
The souls who walked past her suddenly fell down in agony and began to crawl slowly in a distorted position. On the back of the soul, grass sprouts slowly grow.
The boss is rarely so at a loss, and the matter has not been figured out, and he is careless. But......
Can't think about it anymore!
He shot like lightning, restrained the woman at once, and threw her into the river, and Tu Yu suddenly became excited, and frantically tore at the woman.
The boss's hands were still shaking.
"Who? Who the hell is it? "The boss was in pain, he killed. Killed a good man.
"Baili, this thing seems to be aimed at you!" Double Scissors turned into a human, walked up to the boss, and said seriously, "You should be good at checking." β
"Double Shear, I just killed her!" The boss didn't come back to his senses, and looked at the fish in a daze.
"If you don't kill her, she'll destroy the souls of these people." Double Shear was angry, "Have you forgotten what happened a thousand years ago?" β
The boss of "I ......" for thousands of years is at a loss like a child at the moment.
"You should check to see if something was leaked thousands of years ago." Double shear is also helpless, he knows the boss's business, and even he can solve it for the boss, but he can't do that.
"Beibi Mountain, the ancient burial ground." The boss patted his face, from his forehead to his chest, and with a flick of his fingers, he turned into an old man again, an even older old man, "Double cuts, bring these grasses to the mountains of the north for me, I'll go find the house where Qiu Luo lived back then, these things should be over!" β
The boss slowly walked into the darkness.
As he took a step, the ferryhead was dark, and when he left, it was as silent as a void, without a trace of light.
The double shears flapped their wings in the darkness and flew away.
