44. Truth and Secret
What Mr. Zou said about what I had seen was completely unsupported by any evidence, and I don't know if I had ever seen something real and terrifying, and I didn't remember anything of it, and more importantly, I didn't want to remember those memories of the past two years.
And when I said this, Mr. Zou suddenly asked me and said, "I have always wanted to ask you a question, what was the last thing you saw before you woke up, do you still have a memory?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes." ”
I always remember the events before I finally woke up, so I told Mr. Zou: "I was in a coffin shop, and then I watched a black paper figure burning, and I felt very strange at that time, and I kept looking at the paper figure gradually burning to ashes." Then I felt like I had suddenly fallen into a bottomless abyss, and I kept falling, and finally I woke up, and that's how I came to my senses. When I woke up, I was lying in my bed and I couldn't tell what was going on, but I realized later that it was all just a conjugation. ”
When Mr. Zou heard this, he said, "Burning black paper man, are you sure you see it burning?" ”
I said, "I lit the fire myself, and of course I was sure that at the time I thought it was rather terrible, so I lit a fire and burned it." ”
Mr. Zou listened to the silence for a moment, and then said, "Maybe you can come to your senses and have something to do with this matter, otherwise you have become like that, how can you still get better." ”
I didn't speak, because I knew it was a miracle that I was able to come to my senses again, but Mr. Zou thought about it and continued to say to me, "I asked your family about this and where you were during the day. Your grandmother said that you had thrown it out during the day, but you didn't know where you went, because they didn't know when you ran outside, and when they found out that you were about to go out to look for you, you had already returned, but listening to your grandmother, you had a lot of dirt on your body, and there was a lot of soot on your clothes, and I don't know where you got it, it looked like you went to set a fire, and I suspect that the memory before you woke up was based on what you did outside, and I thought, maybe you really burned a paper figure, a black paper figure exactly like the one you imagined. ”
I couldn't say anything. I could only look at Mr. Zou, and Mr. Zou said, "Can you remember some?" ”
I shook my head blankly, and the more I thought about it, the more my mind went blank, and I said, "I don't remember anything." Nothing is known. ”
Mr. Zou said: "Remembering and finding something is actually the same thing, when you desperately want to find something, no matter how you can't find it, but when you don't want to find it, then it will naturally appear." It's the same with memory, the more you want to remember, the more you find that you can't remember anything, and when it comes to an accident, you suddenly remember. ”
After speaking, Mr. Zou looked at the mountains and forests, and then said, "This is not the time to talk about this, now we all know what is on each other's bodies." Then I know how to prevent it, this thing has been with me for more than 50 years, and I am still alive and well, which means that it is not for my life. So it's the same with what you have, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being. ”
I knew that Mr. Zou was comforting me, so I nodded and said, "Actually, after going through so much, I am also a little surprised, but I am still scared when I meet them." ”
Mr. Zou said: "It's normal to be afraid, you are already very brave. ”
After that, Mr. Zou and I walked up the mountain, and after passing the stone horse, I didn't remember the direction and the road, so I kept following Mr. Zou. Mr. Zou seemed to remember that we walked in along the way back and soon arrived at Wu Xiaoquan's grave.
When I went to the edge of Wu Xiaoquan's grave, both me and Mr. Zou gasped, because Wu Xiaoquan's grave at this time was completely different from the last time we came to see it, and it had only been two or three days, and the grave had already been dug up.
All I could see was a mess of the whole graveyard, through the dug up mounds. Seeing the destroyed coffin inside, I looked at this terrifying scene and asked Mr. Zou, "Who could have dug Wu Xiaoquan's grave?" ”
But Mr. Zou said to me, "Look carefully. ”
I looked into the grave again, but I couldn't see anything, so I had to ask Mr. Zou again, "What are you looking at?" ”
Mr. Zou then said, "Didn't you notice that this grave is not dug up from the outside, but more like it was dug up from the inside?" ”
As he spoke, Mr. Zou pointed to the edge of the excavated grave and said, "Look at this opening, the traces of this soil layer can only appear when it is picked up from the inside out, especially this coffin. If you look at it, the coffin board is so hard and so thick that a single wooden board can be torn from the inside, you can imagine how great this power is. ”
After listening to Mr. Zou's analysis, I only felt that the cold hairs had stood up. I said, "Is this still human power?" ”
Mr. Zou said: "People don't have this power, but corpses do, especially those that are rigid. ”
When I heard Mr. Zou say this, I looked at him and said, "Are there really zombies?" ”
Mr. Zou's expression was as cold as if it was about to freeze. Then he looked at me and said, "I'm afraid it's even more terrible than a zombie." ”
When I heard this, I felt that this place could not stay any longer, so I said, "That doesn't mean that he is in this woods now, so why don't we send you!" ”
When Mr. Zou heard me say this, he did not answer me, but as if he had found something in the grave, he approached and crouched down and reached out to touch it. I didn't know why, so I got closer to Mr. Zou, and I saw Mr. Zou take a wooden branch and pick up some soil in the grave, and I saw some sticky things mixed in the soil, and I didn't know what it was, and then I looked at Mr. Zou and asked, "What is this?" ”
Mr. Zou picked it up again with a wooden stick, and he didn't seem to be sure, and I thought he didn't know either. But soon I heard him shout, "Not good. ”
He jerked up as he said that, then he looked at me and said, "Let's get out of here." ”
I thought that Mr. Zou was going down the mountain when he left here, but when I saw him go deep into the forest, I realized that I was wrong. But I still held Mr. Zou and said, "Mr. Zou, you are going in the wrong direction. ”
Mr. Zou turned around and said, "Don't ask, come with me." ”
Hearing Mr. Zou say this, I followed him in without saying a word, and Mr. Zou and I kept walking along the trail, after walking for a while, and then Mr. Zou suddenly stopped, he looked into the mountain, as if he was looking for something, I looked at the surrounding environment, I felt as if I had been here before, but I felt as if it was very strange. Then Mr. Zou asked me, "The last time you saw the mountain temple, was it in this place?" ”
I wasn't sure, but I had a vague idea of the environment, even though it was daytime, so I said, "I don't remember either." ”
Mr. Zou glanced at the mountains and forests and said, "That's it." ”
With that, he climbed up to the top. I climbed up with him, and when we got to the top, we came to a tomb, and when I saw this tomb, I was stunned for a moment, and then I said to Mr. Zou, "I have never been here, and I have never seen this tomb." ”
Mr. Zou looked at the tombstone as if he didn't hear me, but when he saw it, he looked at me suddenly, and his expression was very shocked. When I saw Mr. Zou looking at me like this, my heart was a little hairy, so I also came up to take a look, who knew that when I saw it myself, my head would go blank with a "buzz".
Because the tombstone is engraved - the tomb of Xiao Mu.
The four words pierced into my heart like a knife, and I also looked at Mr. Zou, but instinctively distinguished: "Maybe this is just a person with the same name." ”
But soon Mr. Zou read this line from the tombstone: "Born in the year of Wuchen, died in the year of Dinghai, at the age of 19." ”
