Chapter 67: Photographs
readx;
That night, Xiao Wenlu was so worried that he couldn't sleep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć I don't know how long it took for him to fall asleep in a daze, however, before his tense nerves could be completely relaxed, he suddenly sat up, his eyes wide open, and stared at the bedroom door murderously!
He was staring at no one else, it was the girl ghost!
The girl ghost obviously didn't expect Xiao Wenlu, who was already asleep, to wake up suddenly, and was also startled, looking at Xiao Wenlu with a frightened face, trembling all over, unable to say a word.
However, it was this glimpse that made Xiao Wenlu see the appearance of this girl ghost clearly for the first time. Ever since she was brought up from the underworld, she has always kept her head down and covered her face, and no one knows what she looks like. And at this moment, the moonlight outside the window was reflected on her face, so that Xiao Wenlu could see it clearly, her appearance was extremely delicate!
Moreover, what is even more strange is that Xiao Wenlu always feels that in addition to the delicate appearance of this girl's ghost, there is a more familiar feeling among her facial features, as if he is familiar, but he can't remember where he has seen this face.
But right now, Xiao Wenlu has more important things to worry about. He sat up from the sand, and walked towards the girl ghost step by step, his expression was not angry and arrogant, and his whole body exuded a compelling momentum, so that the girl ghost lowered his head again, and did not dare to look at him.
Xiao Wenlu walked over to the girl ghost and stood still, was silent for a few seconds, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and tried to calm his voice: "Why did you run out again?" ā
Sure enough, the girl ghost just lowered her head and didn't make a sound.
Xiao Wenlu was not surprised by her reaction, but he still had to ask: "Why did you run to the bedroom door again, do you still want to go in?" I remember telling you today, don't get close to Qianqian again. I haven't figured out why, but as soon as you get close to her, she has nightmares. Can you tell me why you have to approach her? ā
Although Xiao Wenlu's tone sounded quite mild, it was obvious that there was a strong message in and out of his words: you are no longer trusted.
This time, the girl ghost seemed to know that she could no longer escape everything with silence, but instead raised her head as if she had let go, and looked at Xiao Wenlu.
Her reaction was a bit unexpected when Xiao asked for directions. Although Xiao Wenlu made up his mind that he must let her speak this time, he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to change.
I saw that the girl's thin lips were slightly open, as if she wanted to speak. Xiao Wenlu waited patiently, curious about what she was going to say. However, after waiting for a while, the first words spoken by the girl ghost shocked him: "I...... I do not know. ā
Xiao Wenlu was a little confused by her words. He frowned and said, "What don't you know? ā
"I don't know why I'm here......" The voice and expression of the girl ghost were full of confusion and helplessness, and her eyes were full of tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
Xiao Wenlu's heart instantly softened. But in order to find out the origin of this little female ghost who has always been mysterious, and the reason why she has been constantly approaching Yang Qianqian, he had to continue to ask her ruthlessly.
"Have you forgotten how to get back to the yang world? At that time, my son Xiao Lili met you in the underworld and brought you up. ā
"No......" the girl ghost seemed to be in a hurry. I mean, I don't know why I'm in that horrible place......"
Xiao was stunned for another moment, and then suddenly realized: some people die suddenly, completely unaware of the fact that they are dead, and even some see their bodies after their souls are out of the body, and they still deceive themselves and do not want to admit that they are dead, which is also a common thing.
So Xiao Wenlu smiled at her and said, "It's okay, you may have forgotten the cause of your death." If you can remember, we will help you, but if you can't remember the unfulfilled wishes in life, that's okay, those painful experiences, it's better not to remember. ā
"No!" The girl's pale face suddenly turned red with excitement: "I'm not dead!" ā
Xiao Wenlu saw that she still didn't want to admit the fact that she was already a ghost, and she couldn't force her, so she had to comfort her and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this issue yet." ā
The girl ghost seemed to be smart and clever, and at a glance she could see that Xiao was coaxing her when she asked for directions, and her eyes were even more desperate. But when she saw that Xiao Wenlu didn't want to believe her, she didn't explain a word, her mouth was closed, and she looked a little stubborn.
In fact, for Xiao Wenlu, whether she is really dead or not is not his main concern. Besides, she was now in a state of soul, obviously long dead, and there was no possibility of still being alive. What he wanted to know most was why she, who had always been low-key and afraid of things, kept trying to get close to Yang Qianqian, and every time she approached Yang Qianqian, Yang Qianqian would have nightmares.
At that moment, he stopped going around in circles, and asked directly: "I still have to ask you a question again: why do you keep getting close to Qianqian?" ā
"I don't know."
Unexpectedly, the answer to the girl ghost this time was "I don't know"! Xiao Wenlu was immediately angry, and the girl ghost saw Xiao Wenlu's expression, and was so anxious that she was about to cry: "I really don't know!" ā
While her expression didn't look like a lie, she said she didn't know it was outrageous. Xiao Wenlu couldn't help but say, "You took the initiative to approach her, how could you not know?" ā
This time, the girl's ghost's answer made Xiao ask for directions for a long time: "I...... I think I recognize her ......"
"What?" Xiao asked for directions for a long time before he came to his senses. "What do you mean you recognize her?"
The girl ghost explained, "From the first time I saw her, I thought she was familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere. Moreover, it seems that there has always been a force that secretly pulls me to her side, and every time I get close to her, I feel that my body is no longer as light as it is now. But, I really didn't know that my proximity to her would give her nightmares. I really didn't mean to! ā
After the girl ghost finished speaking, she cried.
Xiao was completely confused when he asked for directions.
If the words of the girl ghost, if it is true, then there must be a big mystery and mystery in it. At first, he felt that the appearance of this girl ghost looked familiar, and now this girl ghost said that she looked at Yang Qianqian with déjà vu, what did this mean?
Xiao Wenlu only felt dizzy and swollen, and he had no clue at all. In the end, he decided to believe the words of the girl ghost, believing that there was a mystery between the girl ghost and Yang Qianqian that had yet to be solved, and the task of revealing the answer naturally fell on his shoulders.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn and Yang Qianqian was about to wake up, Xiao Wenlu decided to solve this problem at another time. He persuaded the girl ghost to go back to the Nai He Stone, and he went back to the sand to lie down for a while, the living room became brighter and brighter, and Xiao Wenlu's mind became more and more sober.
On that day, everything was normal, nothing was born. The three of them stayed at home, cooking at home, watching TV, and having a good time, if it weren't for Yang Qianqian's body not healing, this would be a perfect day.
In the evening, after dinner, the three of them sat on the sand and watched TV. There is a reality TV show on TV, where celebrities take their children of a few years old to do various tasks, and the children of those stars are all very clever and very likable.
Yang Qianqian especially likes to watch this show, and she said that she likes children very much. Seeing that she watched with relish and laughed happily from time to time, Xiao Wenlu couldn't help but smile and asked, "You were as cute as her when you were a child, right?" ā
Xiao Wenlu refers to the youngest daughter of a star who is particularly popular in this season's show. The little girl has completely inherited the excellent genes of her parents, and her appearance is particularly delicate and cute.
Xiao asked for directions, and then watched TV. After waiting for a while, Yang Qianqian didn't answer. Xiao Wenlu thought she hadn't heard, so he asked again: "When you were a child, your parents loved you so much, right?" ā
Yang Qianqian still didn't answer.
Xiao Wenlu was a little puzzled, and when he looked down, although Yang Qianqian's eyes were still staring at the TV, their eyes were red, and their eyes were crystal clear, as if they were in tears.
Xiao asked Lu and panicked all of a sudden: "What's wrong with you?" Am I saying the wrong thing? ā
Yang Qianqian shook her head, reached out to pick up the TV remote control, turned down the volume, and looked at the lively TV picture, the whole person became extremely calm.
Xiao Wenlu didn't know what was wrong with Yang Qianqian, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to stay silently. After a while, Yang Qianqian finally spoke. Her voice has never been so quiet and sad: "We've known each other for so long, and I've never told you about my background, right?" ā
Yang Qianqian's words made Xiao Wenlu stunned. Indeed, Xiao Wenlu never asked about Yang Qianqian's life experience, and he didn't know anything about her hometown, parents and relatives.
Thinking of this, Xiao didn't show some guilt when he asked for directions. He said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've always confided in you about my own affairs, but my care and understanding of you is far from enough." ā
"It's not like that." Yang Qianqian shook her head slightly. "I want to know about you, and I have to let you say it. And I deliberately kept my business from it, and I almost never told anyone about it. ā
Yang Qianqian's state suddenly became a little sad. Xiao Wenlu knew that there was no need to say anything at this time, just listen quietly, so he took her hand, looked at her gently, and told her that he was listening.
"I didn't grow up in a full family." Yang Qianqian whispered. Although her eyes were looking ahead, they were very misty, as if her thoughts had drifted back to the old days.
"For as long as I can remember, I didn't know who my father was. I was raised by my mother. When I was very young, I always asked her who my father was, where he went, and why I didn't have a father like other children. Whenever this happens, my mother is always silent. Later, I knew it was a taboo question. ā
"However, although I did not have a father, I had a happy childhood because my mother loved me very much. She gave me all her love and made my entire childhood carefree. ā
"Unfortunately, when I was 14 years old, my mother died in an accident. From that day on, I became an orphan without a father or mother. ā
"After my mother died, I was adopted by my mother's sister, my aunt. From then on, I lived a life under the fence until I was admitted to university, left that family, and started my own life. ā
Xiao Wenlu couldn't help but sigh. He always thought that only his fate was unfortunate, and Yang Qianqian's lively and cheerful appearance every day must have grown up in happiness. Unexpectedly, her upbringing was so bumpy and unfortunate.
"What about your aunt?" Xiao asked.
"My aunt and my uncle have a daughter, and their family lives in the same city where we met. However, since I graduated, I rarely go back and don't have much contact. ā
Xiao Wenlu nodded, indicating understanding. From Yang Qianqian's words, it can be heard that she was not having a good time in those days at her aunt's house, maybe her relationship with her aunt's family was not so close.
Yang Qianqian suddenly said, "Wait a minute." Then he got up and went back to his bedroom. After a while, she walked back and handed Xiao a photo: "This is the only photo of me and my mother. I can't always remember what I looked like when I was a kid. If my aunt hadn't said that this was a photo of me and my mother, I wouldn't have recognized the little girl in the photo as myself, but the appearance of my mother has always been seared in my mind. ā
Xiao Wenlu took the photo and looked at it carefully. I saw that the photo was already a little yellowed, which shows that it has been some years. The back of the photo should be a park, a young girl and a young woman sitting on a bench, with lush trees behind them, and flowers in the flower beds around them are particularly brightly blooming. The two people are very close to each other side by side. The girl smiled happily at the camera, and the young woman next to her was well-dressed and also smiling at the camera, with a demure and peaceful temperament.
Needless to say, this young woman is Yang Qianqian's mother, and her eyebrows and eyes are indeed very similar to Yang Qianqian, and it seems that her appearance is mainly inherited from her mother. And when his eyes fell on the girl's face, his hand holding the photo couldn't help but tremble violently!
Yang Qianqian was a little strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ā
Xiao Wenlu didn't speak, but his eyes were staring at the photo, almost bleeding. After a long while, he said in a dry voice, "No...... It's okay. ā
Yang Qianqian thought that he was sad about his life experience, but began to comfort him: "In fact, after so many years, I have been relieved a lot, and my thoughts about my mother have begun to slowly bury in my heart, so you see me happy every day, I think my mother is willing to see me like this in the spirit of heaven." It's just that for my aunt's family, I always have unspeakable resistance. Although I know that I often go back to visit them, I don't know why, I always don't want to go back. Alas, do you think I'm going too far? ā
Xiao asked for directions and didn't speak for a long time. His hands were shaking. After a while, he handed the photo back to Yang Qianqian and said in a low voice: "No, I can understand you." It's not early, go back and rest early. ā
Yang Qianqian said "um", and took Xiao Lili back to the bedroom to rest. Xiao Wenlu didn't take off his clothes, he lay in the sand, his eyes stared at the ceiling, he didn't blink, and the fingers of his right hand gently stroked the Nai He Stone bracelet on his right wrist, one of which was rubbed by him more crystalline.
A yin wind blew, and the girl ghost appeared beside Xiao Wenlu. To be continued.
