Chapter 49: There's a Black Cat in the Tomb
When I returned to my yard, I heard Yuan Xue's cry, and I thought that Yuan Xue had escaped the influence of the female corpse. Walking into the living room, there was my little kitten cub lying on his stomach in the cat house, and on the cat house sat Ren Qiancang's spirit pet cat. On the sofa, holding my tissue box and crying was Yuan Xue in a white dress.
The aunt who was with Yuan Xue saw me coming over and gave me a place, but Yuan Xue still kept crying.
I whispered to my aunt that they were all out, closed the door of the living room, walked to Yuan Xue's side, handed her a tissue, and asked, "Can you tell me what you encountered?" "I can't start by saying that I know what's going on with her, and I can't start by saying that I know about it. Yuan Xue was recruited into the Ren family by me, and I also admit that I have selfish intentions in this matter.
Yuan Xue was still crying, and she didn't stop, and I could only wait, waiting for her to slowly calm down. After about an hour, she said, "Shangshang," at this time, she didn't even call me Mrs. anymore, and it could be seen that she was really scared. "I don't know what's wrong?" she said. I had a dream in which I was going to kill myself and jump into a well. I didn't want to die, I didn't want to jump, but I just walked to the well, and I just wanted to jump. But when I wake up, I'm already with you. This dream is so clear, and I know that it is not just my dream. Otherwise, I wouldn't be with you either. However, I really fell asleep in bed in the first place. She suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Shangshang, tell you, is that courtyard really haunted?" ”
The haunting of the courtyard is almost an open secret in the Ren family. Even if I didn't say it to Yuan Xue, it doesn't mean that others won't say it. The security guard, the aunt knows.
I said, "Did you touch that well before you came tonight?" "When Bao Ye was scrutinizing before, he said that the female corpse would find me, most likely because Wu Guang took my hair to replenish the female corpse, and after that, her white hair also came to shave my blood, so the female corpse resonated with me so much. Yuan Xue is fine, she is another person from outside, and she is not the Ren family who the female corpse said before that she had to die. The time here is very short, why did the female corpse find her?
Yuan Xue frowned there, lowered her head, and just didn't speak. I wasn't in a hurry, I waved at my kitten, and the kitten jumped into my arms and meowed at me. I slowly followed its fur and waited for Yuan Xue to speak.
After a long time, Yuan Xue said: "Madam, at that time, why did you choose me to join the Ren family?" You've known the junior Bao Ye before, and it's right to recruit him in. What about me? ”
"Because I don't have a good female friend here, I want to recruit you and have someone to talk to." My reasoning is as simple as that.
But Yuan Xue said: "For you, just because I am a girl, I can give you a companion in this Ren family's courtyard, but for me, the Ren family is the goal I worked hard to when I chose the archaeology major seven years ago." Decades ago, in the archaeological community, a tomb was excavated, and it was later discovered that the tomb was the tomb of the ancestor of the Ren family. ”
When Yuan Xue said this, I was shocked. Yuan Xue actually knew about this, so did she also know more about the Ren family's secrets?
She continued: "My grandfather was a scientific researcher who went to the tomb at that time. In my grandfather's belongings, I saw a notebook from a long time ago, which said that he was bitten by a black cat in the tomb when he went down to the tomb. He was sure that the cat was already in the tomb. Hundreds of years later, the cat is still alive. When everyone was amazed by the tomb of the Ren family, my grandfather had been looking for the immortal cat in the tomb, and then the scientific research was over, and the Ren family intervened in this scientific research. My grandfather was just a scientific researcher at that time, and he didn't have any rights, and he couldn't inquire about the Ren family. But he spent his whole life visiting the people who had gone to the grave, and even he went to the cemetery alone, and went in several times just to find the cat. My grandfather died in that grave. ”
Yuan Xue cried again, "When people carried his body out, they all joked that he wanted to rob the tomb and wanted to go crazy, how could this tomb that had been researched a long time ago still leave something." But I know that he didn't want any antiques, he wanted to find the cat. I was only eight years old, and I distinctly remember the sneering faces of those people. Shangshang, when I heard that the Ren family was going to come to the school to recruit people, I didn't sleep all night and memorized all the information that the Ren family is now public. Put yourself on makeup in the morning to cover up dark circles. I really wanted to get into the Ren family, and I wanted to continue what my grandfather didn't accomplish. ”
I exhaled slowly, rubbed the top of the little black cat's head, and said for a while, "Is there anything special in your grandfather's notes?" For example, corpses. "Shouldn't everyone who participated in the Ren family's matter of the female corpse raising her hand know? So does her grandfather also have a record?
Yuan Xue shook her head: "No, the pages I saw were all about cats." Black cat with blood-red eyes. As he said this, he looked at the pet cat in the cat house.
I hurriedly smiled and said: "You pay so much attention to the Ren family, you should know that the Ren family didn't have cats before I moved in, but their family raised a lot of dogs." ”
Yuan Xue's face sank, and after a long time, she said, "Madam, the Ren family...... Haunted. It's true. ”
I laughed: "Yuan Xue, you are still a graduate student in archaeology." Okay, if you're scared, sleep with me here tonight, the bed in the room is big. The way you are now, go back to your room and stay alone, it's not like you're scaring yourself. ”
Yuan Xue didn't refuse, she was really frightened tonight. Seeing her now, I think of the days when I was scared. Now that it's all gone, I'm changing, because I want to stand by Ren Qiancang's side.
I brought Yuan Xue a new quilt, the two women were lying on the bed talking, I asked her to tell me about her grandfather, but she could say very little, only her grandfather's goal in life, the black cat in the tomb, there was nothing else. After all, when she went to the tomb, Yuan Xue was not yet born, and when her grandfather left, Yuan Xue was only eight years old.
We also talked about my black cat. While we were sleeping, the pet cat sat on the windowsill, staring warily, and sometimes when I looked at it, it would meow in response.
Yuan Xue said, "Madam, that cat seems to be very afraid of you." "This fear is heard by listening to the voice of the black cat. I laughed and said, "I beat it, it almost killed me." ”
"Wow, I can't see it."
"By the way, Yuan Xue, on the weekend, you can go with me to my pet party. I don't have a companion anyway, so you should relax when you go with me. ”
"Is it appropriate?"
"Nothing suitable or inappropriate. Laughing with those wives all day long, saying things that sound friendly, but are sarcastic and showing off, it's very tiring. ”
Yuan Xue still hesitated, and then agreed. We all closed our eyes and went to sleep, so it was quite late. Only this night, I dreamed again.
In my dream, I was standing at the gate of the courtyard in the northwest, and I pushed the door and locked it. I had a thought in my mind, I wanted to go in, what would I do in there? I don't know, but I just want to get in. At this time, I gradually saw the situation in the courtyard, and the door seemed to gradually become transparent in front of me.
In the middle of the yard, white smoke came from the well, but I knew it wasn't smoke, it was white hair. The white hair writhed and floated out, and they licked some blood on the ground next to the well as if they were alive.
I woke up at this time, without much horror, just suddenly opened my eyes, gasping for breath, and my heart was still repeating the image of white hair licking the blood on the ground just now. I got up and looked at the black cat sitting on the windowsill, it didn't react at all, was it really just a dream?
