Chapter 2: Old Friends I
There are some things that you don't have a chance to figure out, because the parties have forgotten about them. A long time has passed, and my father's memories of the past have remained in this photograph, and he would often stare at this picture when no one was around, and his fingers would often wander over the chubby figure......
Cha Wenbin often comes, but when he comes, he comes very suddenly, and he leaves very suddenly, and he stays alone with his father every time. There was very little conversation between them, there was no me at that time, and my father was just a single young man. In addition to him, the hostess of our family at that time was surnamed Zheng, a rare surname, I have never seen this woman's appearance, but from my grandmother's mouth, she is a peugeot, but she is not my father's good looks. In a way, I had to call her an aunt, because she was a child of my parents until she got married.
One day, Cha Wenbin came in a hurry, and for the first time he came during the day, he didn't have time to greet his grandfather first as usual when he entered the house, but rushed into the house. Old Xia Yi is taking a nap, and since I can remember, he has had to sleep at noon every day.
"Xiaobai is almost there, can you come with me to have a look?" He looked at the man who was sleeping soundly, and shouted a little unaccustomedly: "Qiushi, wake up." ”
Qiushi is the name that Lao Xia Yi changed after he came back, Cha Wenbin used to call him Xiaoyi, but after more than ten years of calling, he was really not used to changing his words.
Comrade Xia Qiushi seemed to be very unhappy that he was woken up from his nap, stretched his waist and looked at the person at the head of the bed with half-squinted eyes, reached out and took a glass of water and poured two sips and said, "I don't remember." ”
"She also wants to see our old friends again, the girl in the photo." Cha Wenbin pointed to the yellowed photo on his bedside and said, "I don't want to watch everyone walk this road one by one, give me a chance to atone for my sins, okay?" ”
"Atonement?" Lao Xia looked at Cha Wenbin, who was full of anxiety, and said: "What a crime, I fell into this field now has nothing to do with you, but this life is all picked up by you, Cha Wenbin, although I have forgotten the past, it does not mean that I don't want to go back to the past." ”
Shanghai, China's magic capital, hides a quiet old mansion in this bustling metropolis.
The Yuan Family Mansion, compared with the new skyscraper, although it has long lost the momentum of decades ago, but the majesty and solemnity still tell the world that this is an old mansion with a story.
A group of monks dressed in robes have been meditating outside the house for three days, and it is said that the master family has invited the eminent monks from Jinshan Temple, and the Sanskrit language is like a lotus flower coming out of their mouths like a song. The curtain was still drawn on the glass of the window on the west side of the third floor, and the young lady of this family was surnamed Yuan, whose name was Xiaobai, and it was said that she was a friend of her father.
Miss Yuan is a talented woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, has read books, stayed abroad, and is born generous. It is said that she was very concerned about her father's accident, and after returning home, she began to visit famous doctors, and often mailed some high-end nutrition and medicines from Shanghai that could not be bought at that time.
About two months ago, the young lady had sent a letter to Cha Wenbin, saying that she had been dreaming lately that she had become a cat, and that someone had skinned her, leaving only two dark eyes on her bloody face.
Cha Wenbin, who received the letter, was a little worried, during which he had been to Shanghai once, because this Yuan Xiaobai had fallen into an evil a few years ago. Although she is an intellectual family, Mr. Yuan is not a piece of rotten wood, Cha Wenbin stayed in Shanghai for a few days and then resolutely left the north to find a prescription.
By the time he came back again, Yuan Xiaobai was completely gone, afraid of light, sound, and water, she began to lock herself in the house all day long, shouting every day that someone wanted to skin her, and her originally delicate facial features were full of scratches, and all of this came from herself.
The Yuan family has no shortage of ways, Yuan Xiaobai was forcibly sent to the hospital, and a woman who was originally powerless went to the hospital and made a fuss. Doctors and nurses were beaten, bitten, and bitten, and nothing could be found after a check-up, and there was nothing else to do but sustain life with nutrient solution every day.
This person is in a hurry to think of something, we have an old saying called "a live horse is a dead horse doctor", Mr. Yuan invited a group of monks to come back, chanting for three days, then Miss Yuan finally quieted for a while, and finally could sleep. But the sound of the sutra can't be stopped, as soon as she stops, she will continue to make trouble, some monks in the courtyard who are physically exhausted have begun to fall, and if it goes on like this, the old monk in the lead and she still don't know who went to see the Buddha first.
Cha Wenbin's second arrival still gave Mr. Yuan some hope, and hurriedly took Lao Xia into the house and went straight to the third floor. There was a bronze door on the right hand side of the staircase, the door was locked inside, and several women who looked like servants were shouting with rice bowls in their hands.
"All down." Mr. Yuan waved his hand and sent everyone away, sighed and said: "Wen Bin, I take you as my nephew, you and Xiaobai are friends again, I won't say more, I found a few old Taoist priests from Kunlun Mountain I heard that it will take a few days to arrive, here you see that the master below is about to be unable to bear it, what should I do?" ”
Cha Wenbin sighed and said, "The locksmith will forcibly enter." ”
In a few moments, the lock was opened, and a huge force behind the door was pressed against it, and a woman screamed inside the house for the people outside to roll. Listening to my father, where is that strength like a woman, a few old men pushed the door outside and didn't move.
There is a saying in our rural area that people who fall into evil spirits are particularly strong, and I have experienced this, when I was a child, a boy in my class sprinkled urine on the grave on the way home from school. At that time, they were stupid, and they were all more daring, and my classmate did it. When he got home, the child couldn't do it, he had a fever that night, and his forehead was so hot that he couldn't touch it with his hands, and his wife couldn't do anything but pour cold water on him, and his father and his grandfather couldn't drag him out of the house. A seven or eight-year-old child's arm was pinched by adults, but the other hand was hard to break the bed board and couldn't pull it down, and then my classmate just let Cha Wenbin cure it, it was very simple, and he got a ring ruler and slapped it at his Tianling cover and was honest.
Later, I heard from my classmate that he didn't even know what was going on, so he knew that he was floating in the air and watched his father and his grandfather pull at a woman in a red costume, and the woman was clasping the head of the bed.
After a few more years, Murakami engaged in road repair, and the big grave bag that was originally on the side of the road had to be demolished because there was no owner. In Hongcun, this kind of nameless old grave went to the sea before, and after getting a little **, a big coffin came out of it. At that time, the coffin had been overturned, and there was a female corpse in a red costume lying inside, and the clothes on her body were very bright, as if they were new. The bones on the body are not very rotten, and there is still a layer of skin sticking to it, listening to the person who was responsible for picking up sperm at the time, that is, picking up bones, said that there was another one in the stomach of the female corpse, and it was estimated that she died of dystocia. Most of these corpses were very resentful, and several people did not move the grave together, and burned it together with the coffin.
Besides, Miss Yuan was not allowed to enter the door, so Cha Wenbin took a bell, about the size of a palm, with a "mountain" shaped handle on the top. Hold it in his hand and stick it on the door and shake it gently, "ding", the door really had to be loosened, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lao Xia put a steel pipe thick with a wine cup into the crack of the door, but barely left a crack.
Afterwards, they checked that the steel pipe was deformed, and they could imagine how strong the girl was at that time. Cha Wenbin immediately took this opportunity to take a talisman and lit it and threw it into the house, only to hear a strange cry of a woman in the room, "Ah" The door opened.
A few men from the Yuan family rushed into the house, the smell inside was indestructible, and all the places that could transmit light were sealed to death. A driver in the Yuan family was in a hurry and hurriedly wanted to pull the lamp, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin and said: "You don't want her to die soon, just stay as she is, and only me and my brother can be left in the house." ”
Mr. Yuan knew that Cha Wenbin had a cautious style of doing things, so he had to do so, sighed and took someone out first, Lao Xia had no memory at that time, and he only saw this Miss Yuan from that photo. Knowing that this person has an unusual past with you, you can't remember it, and only he can experience this pain.
"Are you afraid?" He asked Lao Xia.
Lao Xia replied: "What are you afraid of? ”
Cha Wenbin said with some self-deprecation: "I forgot that you are a person who has died once, and I really don't know what I am afraid of." Don't you want to know what's going on with you? Her current situation is similar to what you were before, and she is about to follow in your footsteps, but unfortunately she is not as good as your life, and you will still have someone to pay off your debts in the future, and the debts she owed in her previous life have not been paid off. ”
Lao Xia didn't understand what Cha Wenbin meant, the purpose of his coming was very simple, he was here to find memory, "It's the woman in the photo, think about it, it's also a friend, say, what can I do?" ”
Cha Wenbin instructed: "You accompany her to talk, I'll be watching you from here." ”
"What are you talking about? I really don't know her, didn't you say she's almost there, too. ”
"Talk casually, just remember one thing, don't open your mouth."
Lao Xia turned around and was about to leave, but Cha Wenbin grabbed him, and he said to Lao Xia impatiently: "Don't joke with me, okay." ”
"I'm not kidding." Cha Wenbin did not explain.
"Why don't you open your mouth and talk to me?" Lao Xia's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
Cha Wenbin took out a round piece of jade, and the thing was a little warm when he stuffed it into Lao Xia's hand, which was also the first time that Cha Wenbin felt that it would also have a temperature. "Take it, I can't do it with you, but you can do it with her, how do you know if you don't try it?"
