Chapter 38: The Finale
readx;
Stepping into the hall, I saw Ye Yan sitting on a big chair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info One of Ye Yan's legs has been stretched straight, and there are still abrasions and blood on his hands. I was surprised and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Ye Yan frowned tightly, and his face was blue from pain. I asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Fell off the roof." Zuo Qiaoting said sharply, "You said that Ye Yan came to help you to fulfill the brotherly friendship." But such a dangerous thing, why let him fall down, and lie here alone for three hours! Until I arrived! I'm a pot-bellied woman, how can I help him? ”
Zuo Qiaoting was almost saying it to me in a scolding tone, but I couldn't even say a word. I know that Ye Yan is not a professional roof repairer, and he only has a theoretical understanding of such a roof structure. He was asked to come up and uncover the tiles, but he seemed to be embarrassed by him.
Zuo Qiaoting scolded me like this, and I didn't reply because it was really my fault. She continued to yell, "What are you still standing! Help me help him get to the car! ”
That's when I knew what to do. The two of us walked outside with Ye Yan on our feet. The extra car outside was driven by Zuo Qiaoting. Ye Yan was thrown down, but no one could help him. In such a situation, he could only call Zuo Qiaoting. If you want to be able to enter the small courtyard, you must be a person who can keep the secret of this sarcophagus, and only Zuo Qiaoting can move. And Zuo Qiaoting is now a pregnant woman who will give birth at any time, I think at that time, Zuo Qiaoting must be very anxious.
put Ye Yan in the car, watched the car leave like this, and now I am the only one left.
Back in the small building, the roof of the living room has been untiled a lot. You can see the twinkling stars in the sky.
I walked slowly upstairs, repeating the events of the day over and over again in my mind. went to see Bao Ye, Ren Qiancang was shot, I dug out the bullet and let one ear kill Gu Yuze, and Ye Yan fell down.
So many things happened in one day, so many things that made my breath feel depressed. returned to the room and looked at Ren Qiancang who was still lying on the bed. I sat down on the floor slowly, my nose was sore, my eyes were red, and in the blink of an eye, tears began to fall.
When I first met him, it was here, in this bed. This was obviously a gift he had prepared for another girl, but because of my intrusion, he fell in love with me. Along the way, only he will think of me and remember me, and he is the only one in my world, a lover and a relative.
Then, with the help of Ye Yan, Bao Ye, and Zuo Qiaoting by our side, after we swept away the enemies in front of us one by one, Ye Yan fell and was injured, Bao Ye was seriously injured, and Zuo Qiaoting was about to give birth. Ren Qiancang was seriously injured, and now I am the only one.
That's when the phone rang. I wiped my tears and took a breath before answering the phone. The person who called turned out to be Bao Ye. He said, "Hey, Auntie. I heard that Gu Yuze died? ”
The two of them are in the same hospital, both of them are seriously ill, and the communication between the nurses will definitely be talked about. I said, "yes, yes! ”
"What is the situation with Uncle Ren now?"
"The bullet has a cinnabar drawing on it, and I've dug it out. But those talismans seem to have seeped into the flesh. He hadn't woken up yet, and, moreover, it seems, he was very hot. ”
I saw that Ren Qiancang's face was unusually red, and I reached out to touch his cheek, it was really a little hot, and it felt like a high fever. "He seems to have a fever." I said.
"Auntie. Uncle Ren is not human, and his fever means that the body is decomposing. When he is rotten and gone, there is nothing. ”
I was startled, and I put my hand on his forehead, trying to slow him down with the coldness on the back of my hand. "What should I do? Shall I throw him in that tank? ”
"There was already a cinnabar charm in his body, and he threw it into the water tank, and it was cold on the outside, and it continued to rot on the inside. Auntie, put him in the coffin. Crystal gossip, I had put it under the big table in the living room before, wrapped in cloth. ”
"But it's hard to have fifteen consecutive sunny days in a month like this."
Bao Ye also raised his voice: "We only have one gamble." But after all, he was seriously injured, and it was the internal organs that were injured, after shouting this, his breathing was a lot shorter, and it took a while before he continued: "Auntie, my mother-in-law's wish is to let Ren Qiancang leave well, so that the mother-in-law does not have such a sinful karma." My master's wish is to destroy the Ren family's large courtyard of his own design. I helped my master fulfill his wish, and now Ren Qiancang is not rotten or not, his soul is burned, and he is also resurrected by the sarcophagus, which is the fulfillment of my wife's wish. The rest, the choice is yours. ”
Bao Ye hung up the phone. The phone in my hand also fell to the ground. I know I'm the only one left now. I'm going to do the rest alone. I'm the only one! This feeling made me very helpless, so I lay on the side of the bed, touched Ren Qiancang's cheek, and cried.
He's hot, he's rotting. Maybe in a few days, he will be a white skeleton. I can't let that happen. I raised my head, wiped the tears on my face that had not dried yet, and said to myself: "I can't cry anymore, I want to put Ren Qiancang in the sarcophagus, I want to bet this time." Placed in the sarcophagus, although it is very likely that it was raining, this process of yin and yang inversion was not completed. The sarcophagus became Ren Qiancang's last coffin. It's also possible for me to win once. Even if it's a gamble with God this time, I'm going to gamble once. ”
I turned around, reached out and pulled Ren Qiancang and put him on my back. Even if he was just a corpse, his weight wasn't like a ghost's air.
I fell to my knees in a moment. But I know that now I can't give up, I'm going to hold on. I'm going to get Ren Qiancang to the first floor. I couldn't carry him, so I dragged him along.
I put a quilt on the ground, moved him to the quilt, and said, "Ren Qiancang, I'll take you into the sarcophagus now." It's past eight o'clock, and there's still a few hours left to get there, and I can do it. ”
I'm cheering myself up. After putting him away, I dragged the quilt out. At least I can move him this way.
As I went down the stairs, his weight fell, and I rushed down a few steps with me. When I finally managed to stabilize it, I realized that my ankle was broken. My ankle has been broken before, and it is easy to get caught in this situation.
The sudden sharp pain, or the feeling of pain reaching to the bones, made a cold sweat break out on my forehead. But I know I can't stop now, and there is many, many more things to do before twelve.
I could only sit on the steps and move him down little by little, little by little, and hold him so that I couldn't let him roll down.
The steps on the second floor usually only take a few seconds, but this is the longest time I've walked in my life. By the time I got down to the first floor, I was drenched in sweat. The pain and helplessness made me cry. Even if I cry, I can't stop the work in hand, if I can't be ready before the time, wait until the next fifteen, Ren Qiancang can only be a white bone.
"Ren Qiancang...... Whining...... My feet hurt so much...... Ren Qiancang...... I'm so tired I can't drag it...... "I cried and spoke, but my hands kept straining, little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little, just little by little to get closer to ......the large sarcophagus placed in the center of the living room.
When I finally got to the sarcophagus, I held on to the sarcophagus, stood up with one foot, and pushed the lid hard. But the stone slab of the sarcophagus was so heavy that I couldn't push it away with all my strength. I had to turn around and go with my back. To increase my strength, my feet pressed against the large chair leaning against the pillar. The hurt foot hurt me so much that I almost fainted. But I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, and moved the lid of the coffin open a slit.
The next seemed to be a lot easier, and I pushed hard, but I still opened it half a meter wide. There was a layer of black water in the sarcophagus, and I wasn't sure what it was, if it was normal. But now I have to get Ren Qiancang inside. Since it's a gamble, let's take a good gamble.
I squatted down again and picked up Ren Qiancang. At this time, Ren Qiancang was already unconscious. I even had an idea in my mind, find a Taoist priest to lure Ren Qiancang's soul out. Don't let him suffer in the corpse. I'll just guard him for the rest of my life.
So I told him this idea: "Ren Qiancang, I'll find someone to lure you out." Don't suffer in your body. I'm willing, willing to guard you for the rest of my life. ”
But as I said this, I carried him up to the sarcophagus. It was just a thought, but now, we have to bet it with God. Fortunately, the sarcophagus is placed on the ground, and the edge of the coffin is not very high, otherwise how could I have the ability to lift his whole person.
Just like that, little by little, until the end, he fell into the coffin unparallelly. The black water flooded him in an instant, and even though I knew that the black water had just overshadowed him, it seemed that there was no one in it at all.
My hand reached down and touched the water, his face. My tears dripped down and fell into the black water. "Ren Qiancang, you must come back to life! Ren Qiancang, you must come back to life! If you die in it, I will open the lid of the coffin and climb in with you. Remember, if you don't want me to die, you have to come back to life! You can hear me, can you? Ren Qiancang! You must be able to hear me. Be sure to come back to life! Otherwise, I will die with you! ”
I wiped away my tears, limped in the opposite direction, and pressed the big chair against it again, closing the sarcophagus lid. Looking up at the roof, the hole in the roof could not meet the moonlight for two hours. I jumped on one foot and jumped under the eaves of the yard. In this kind of old house, the long bamboo poles under the eaves are used to dry clothes. I went to the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, cut the rope, and then removed the long bamboo pole and poked the tiles.
Because Ye Yan had already demolished a relatively large part of it before. With this gap, it's a lot easier for me to widen the gap. It's more dangerous to just poke the roof underneath than to remove the roof tiles. Because if the tiles fall down, it will be easy to hit the head.
And the time is very short, and I can't take my time, or dodge. Once, twice, three times, four times...... I don't remember how many times I've been hit by those falling tiles, and the only thought is that I'm going to hurry, hurry. I still have a lot of things to do.
I don't know that my head is bleeding from the first few times I was smashed. My vision has also become blurry. The arm holding the bamboo pole trembled weakly, and finally couldn't control the bamboo pole and hit it.
Enough is enough, such a big hole, enough is enough.
I don't have the strength to speak. Looking at the old clock in the living room, it already showed that there was still half an hour to go. The moonlight also fell through the crack in the roof and fell on the end of the coffin.
In half an hour, I will seal the coffin. I'm going to find a small businessman. I grabbed the handrail and jumped upstairs step by step. Standing in front of the big tank, I almost didn't think about it, and I reached out and fished into the water. There are four large water tanks, I don't know which tank Bao Ye threw in, so I can only fish them one by one.
In the water, the feeling of suddenly touching something is really scary. But at that time, I was no longer afraid. I grabbed where I touched and pulled it out.
Do you know what it's like to grab a child by the hair and lift her out of the water? And the kid was still the same as he was when he was a child. At that moment, my heart missed a beat after a "poof". It felt like I was really dead.
I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and dragged her out. Twenty minutes left, twenty minutes I have to seal the sarcophagus. I want to be fast!
I dragged the little merchant downstairs. At this time, I only have Ren Qiancang in my heart, and I won't think about it at all, that's what I looked like when I was a child.
When I came to the sarcophagus, I grabbed the little merchant with one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and cut at her wrist.
The blood flowed out, and I dripped it onto the Tai Chi in the middle of the sarcophagus. The blood seemed to be alive, flowing along the carved lines.
A strange picture appeared, even if the blood reached the edge of the sarcophagus, it flowed along the inscription, without a trace of dripping onto the ground.
Even so, the speed of blood flow is too slow. I look at the clock, there are still eight minutes, but at this rate, it is impossible to complete the sealing of the entire sarcophagus before the sub-hour.
I raised the kitchen knife in my hand again, and looking at the sleeping little face of me, my heart froze, and my kitchen knife swung towards her neck.
I'm a murderer, I'm a murderer! No! I'm not a murderer! That's not people! I'm a businessman, I'm not a human at all! I can't be fooled by her. I can't lose my consciousness, I want to be stronger, stronger. Otherwise, when Ren Qiancang comes back to life, what if I become a madman?
That's not me! That's not me! That's not people at all! The person whose head I cut off is not a human at all!
Before eleven o'clock, blood finally filled the entire sarcophagus, and a completed sigil outlined in blood appeared on the sarcophagus.
The moonlight was also sprinkled on the roof. I pulled out my bag from under the table in the living room. He said that there is his crystal gossip in it, and I will let the moonlight shine through this crystal gossip on the Tai Chi of the sarcophagus for at least two hours.
I don't know how I spent those two hours now. I stood on the chair with my completely weak hands, holding the crystal gossip mirror, and letting the moonlight shine on the Tai Chi. The moonlight is not constant all the time, the moon will go, and I will gossip to follow suit. I was barely conscious anymore, just a thought of sticking to it.
I looked at the clock countless times, hoping that it would come soon, but at that moment, the time really counted the seconds.
When I saw the clock face pointing to one point and one minute, the persistence in my heart collapsed, and I fell from the big chair to the ground. There was only one sentence left in my heart. "God, everything I can do has been done. The rest is up to you. Heaven, give me a miracle. ”
When I woke up again, it was the third day. When I opened my eyes, I saw the white sheets of the hospital. Next to me were the Ren family's aunt and Yong on the phone on the balcony.
It was Ah Yong who told me that it was Bao Ye who called and asked him to go to Xiaolou to see the situation. But when he got there, he could hardly believe what he saw. I fell to the ground with blood on my head and face. There were already blood marks on the sarcophagus, and the crystal gossip was shattered beside me.
He thought I was dead, so he went up to touch his nose and breathed, and he was still a little angry, so he rushed to the hospital.
My first words were, "Who guards the sarcophagus?" ”
"Oh, the two black cats keep watch at night, and during the day, our classmates go to watch it. Bao Ye's arrangement. Bao Ye said that no one dared to enter the small building at night, even if he went in. Seeing a large coffin in the living room, a place of blood, and two pairs of fluorescent eyes in the dark, he was allowed to escape. ”
I exhaled slowly, and I was still alive. What about Ren Qiancang? I said in a hoarse voice, "Give me my phone." ”
Ah Yong handed over the phone in confusion. I turned on the weather forecast and looked up the weather for another week. During the week, there were three cloudy days and one cloudy day. The seventh day was a thunderstorm.
I laughed, a desperate smile, is God really not going to give me this chance? Did I lose my bet? I made up my mind that if it really rained, I would push the coffin open again, climb in, and be with him, forever.
At this time, my heart has completely calmed down, and this thought comes out so naturally. There was no struggle, it felt like it was a natural thing.
Bao Ye is a good supervisor, although he was seriously injured and hospitalized, he still arranged everything in the family. The aunt who took care of me, the driver who delivered the meal, were all well arranged. The security guards in the courtyard of the Ren family, who have no work for the time being, first go to the collection every day to report. After all, some old security guards know a lot of secrets of the Ren family, so they can't be dismissed so easily.
When I could get out of bed and walk, I went to Bao Ye's room first. I wasn't seriously injured, but I had a few wounds on my head, all of which were traumatic and had my head covered. The rest is overtired, sleep well, eat enough, and there is no big problem.
When I went to Bao Ye's room, Bao Ye was in good shape. Zuo Qiaoting sat on the edge of the bed and said to him angrily: "You have helped the Ren family with so many things, and you are worthy of your grandmother." You didn't make any benefit yourself, don't you think you're losing? ”
"Who told you that I didn't catch it." As he spoke, he took out a brush from under the pillow, pulled out the tip of the pen, and revealed the black and gold needle: "Look at this, this is a treasure." No one will use it in Ren's house. It's better to follow me to slay demons and eliminate demons, and do the right thing for the sky. ”
"It's just such a rotten brush."
"If you don't know something, get aside. Yo, Auntie is here. He hurriedly took the brush as if I would ask him for it.
I walked in and listened to them.
On the fourth day, I was discharged from the hospital, and my aunt arranged for me to stay in a hotel. On the seventh day, the day of the forecast thunderstorm, I threw off my aunt and took a taxi back to the small building.
The clouds were thick, and when I stepped into the small building, I had already decided to follow Ren Qiancang together. If God doesn't help us, we can't do anything.
Just as I stepped into the living room with such determination, I saw the four big boys in the living room. They had set up a tent in the living room to block the sarcophagus, and a large canopy had been erected to block the tent.
When I came, they were still there hammering nails. I was surprised to see me coming.
I was also stunned for a while before saying, "No, now it's not the rain, it's the sunshine, we don't have the sunshine, we've failed." ”
"Nope!" "In this kind of weather, the thunderstorm is only one or two hours, and then the sun is definitely shining. Madam, go up to the second floor to hide from the rain. Here we just have to watch. ”
Ah Yong's words made me stunned again! Will there really be a bright sun? Will there really be sunshine again?
I didn't go upstairs, so I hid in the tent with them, listening to the sound of the rain falling outside, listening to the rumbling of thunder. Later, when I watched the bright sun shining on the Tai Chi of the sarcophagus after the rain, I covered my mouth and cried.
Ah Yong didn't know what there was to cry about, and said, "Madam, you should be happy about this." ”
Day 8, Day 9, Day 10...... And so the days passed. I live in this small building, guarding this big sarcophagus.
People in the village said that Xiaolou was haunted again, and that I lived with ghosts. But I don't care, I'm just guarding this big sarcophagus. Sometimes, it's a whole day, just looking at it, not going anywhere, not eating.
Finally, the day came. In the middle of the night, I heard the lid of the coffin being pushed open.
……
More than two years later
"Ren Qiancang, have you asked someone to repair this small building?"
"Of course, I'm still waiting to play ghost and scary here with you in the future." He said.
I held our child in my hand and pouted, "The bathroom here is on the kitchen side, how inconvenient it is to bathe the child." ”
"It's okay, there's an aunt."
"I mean, in the future, when our children grow up, they will definitely have grandchildren, and when the time comes, the children will definitely dislike this small building."
"Afraid of what? My family has money, and I will build a villa for him. This small building belongs to the two of us, and no one can get in. This is the haunted house! Haunted house for the two of us! The child is hugged by the aunt, and the merchant will follow me upstairs to have a look. ”
I still don't know what he's up to. He had already shoved the child into the hands of the aunt who had come back with us, and then dragged me upstairs and closed the door.
"Hey! What are you doing? Kids will cry! ”
Ren Qiancang grabbed my shoulder and made me look at the crescent moon bed. "You take a look at this room first."
The room was simple, a bed, a dresser. The bed was a red quilt, a bright red color, like blood. The drawer of the dresser opened slightly, and I walked over and opened the drawer, and inside was an envelope with a deposit note.
Ren Qiancang said in a low voice: "Three years ago this night, I met you here for the first time. That's what the room looked like back then. ”
He hugged me from behind.
I cried, and the scenes of the past three years crossed my mind.
