Chapter 54: Divergence
When Zong Sheng said this, I didn't know what he said, what did it mean to find a substitute for Lan Lan? When the three of us came to the street of the Internet café, and Zong Sheng asked Lan Lan to put the envelope in the crack of the dark wall over there, I understood what he meant.
We stood in front of an inconspicuous residential building with no lights on, looking at the door of the Internet café that came in and out, and if Lan Lan put the envelope money in the crack of the dark wall at this time, it would definitely be discovered soon. And we counted here for several minutes, and in those few minutes, we found that many little boys in the Internet café came out and peed in the cracks in the wall.
I've grown up so much, and although I haven't been to the Internet café a lot, I know that there will definitely be a toilet in the Internet café. Why are these little boys willing to pee in this dark wall? The strong wind is the distance between the two buildings, which is about one meter. The two men barely managed to pass on their sideways.
After seeing the boy peeing in the crack of the wall come out, Zong Sheng pushed Lan Lan: "Go, do you still want to hold it overnight?" ”
Lan Lan's breathing was short, and her voice was trembling: "I, I'm so scared." ”
"Does it scare you more than the man standing next to your bed throwing money? Lan Lan, you have to do this yourself. No one can help you. ”
Lan Lan bit her lip and finally took a step forward. I quickly grabbed her and asked, "Did you say that the person who took the money would die, Lan Lan picked up the money, she took the money home, and she was the one who died." Now if she could give the money away, and another person got the money, that person would die in his place. ”
Zong Sheng nodded.
I hurriedly said, "Isn't this cruel? What's wrong with the person who picked up the money? Why let someone else die? ”
An incredible expression appeared in Zong Sheng's eyes, and he stared at me and said, "Then what's wrong with Xia Lanlan?" Why let him die? ”
"But the solution to this matter shouldn't be just that. There are other ways to solve this problem. Wouldn't it be better not to hurt anyone? ”
"Zong Youxuan, I really don't understand anything, so I'm talking nonsense here. This money is karma, and she wants to transfer her karma out. Do you still think that letting Lan Lan die is morality, and you are the Virgin? ”
"I didn't think about letting Lan Lan die, there should be another way. If you can't do it, we can go to another gentleman. What is the difference between spreading one's own death in this way and killing a stranger? ”
Zong Sheng shook his head at me, and turned to Lan Lan and said, "Lan Lan, you don't want to die either, then throw the money out." Go ahead. ”
Lan Lan nodded to him, holding the envelope and walking towards the crack in the wall over there.
"Lan Lan... I took her hand and shook my head at her, "Why don't we go find the old man who told my fortune last time tomorrow, his talisman should work." ”
"You Xuan," Lan Lan's eyes turned red again, "I'm so scared, I don't dare." What if something happens to me? Just put this envelope over there, and it's none of my business. ”
"But you're hurting others."
Lan Lan didn't hear my opinion, but still put down my hand and walked towards that side.
Zong Sheng said: "She did the right thing, this society is like this. You say I'm selfish or not, Xia Lanlan picked up this money, it's her life. She knew me, and that's how she was with me. He had passed through this incident without danger, and that was also her luck. The man who picked up the money became the next substitute for the dead. That's that man's life, too. You Xuan, sometimes this world is really cruel. If you can't even stand this kind of thing, how can you go with me? Also, if it weren't Lan Lan or you who picked up the money today, I guarantee that you would make the same choice. Some things are like that, and you don't have to say a lot of light things without your turn. Is it really your turn, isn't it the same path as others? ”
I didn't know how to refute him, I could only stare at him fiercely.
I really can't understand this kind of thinking of him. Didn't Lan Lan just pick up the money of those ghosts? Shall we just give it back? Or put it back where you picked up the money. Or did you burn it in a different style and return it? Why do you have to do it this way?
If it had been before, after something like this happened, Lan Lan would definitely ask me to stay and sleep with her for the night. I've spent the night at her house more than a dozen times. But tonight, she didn't say anything to keep me. After putting the money in the crack in the wall, she kept her head down and didn't dare to look at me.
We stood under the building and watched the movement in the cracks in the wall over there. A few young men from the Internet café dragged one of the boys and beat him up in the crack in the wall. We don't know why they were fighting, but it seems that the boy was beaten quite patheticly. This kind of thing has happened to me when I was still studying before, and everyone can only walk by quickly with their heads down.
The boy who had been beaten ran away in a hurry, and the one who had hit him kicked the envelope as he chased him out.
He fell to the ground, scolded his mother, and kicked the envelope twice. With such a kick, the envelope fell down, and several sheets of money were scattered inside. We weren't very far from there, and the boy hurriedly carried the envelope to the side of the street lamp, and watched him count the money with a smiling face.
Right! It's money, a red hundred-dollar bill!
But what we picked up at Lan Lan's house just now was obviously paper money, and Lan Lan put the paper money in the envelope. Now in the envelope, it is a hundred-dollar bill.
Zong Sheng looked at the man who was holding the money over there, and his eyes were narrowed with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go home!" Get a good night's sleep and you'll be fine. Lan Lan, don't you have a week's vacation? You... The day after tomorrow, you will clean your house up and down, inside and out. Do a big cleaning. What can be moved, can be replaced, change it, move it, wash it. ”
We drove Lan Lan home and then rushed towards Zong Sheng's new house. The time spent in the car adds up to about an hour. But for an hour, I didn't say a word to him. He was silent and didn't say a word to me.
The car returned to Zong Sheng's yard, and it was already past 12 o'clock, and if I was clamoring to go back now, he would not agree at all. And nothing will come of it. I didn't mention it to him.
But when he opened the door with the key, I said to him, "Tonight, I sleep... ”
The door to the living room opened, and the wind brought up the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window because of the convection of the space. People can clearly see the ghost doll placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. I didn't want to say that I slept in the living room tonight, and this was already on my lips, but I interrupted and didn't say it.
Zong Sheng said: "I'll sleep in the living room, it's already late at this time, you go upstairs to sleep!" ”
I stood in the doorway, surprised. It took a few seconds to come to his senses, yes, he should be eager to stay away from me now. He'd said before that he hated me too. And tonight's handling of Lan Lan's matter, we have a big difference of opinion. He must hate me even more. And he's with me a lot so much that I can recover. Now, he should have returned to normal, even his pupils have changed, he no longer needs me, and of course he can't wait to stay away from me.
I nodded, walked into the house and walked towards the second floor, while saying, "Okay, I'll go back to my house tomorrow morning." ”
"It's okay to go back, Shen Jien won't go to the village to look for you."
He responded so quickly, it turned out that he wished I could go faster!
When I went up to the second floor and looked at the new clothes I had just bought today, I didn't even have the idea of taking a shower. My heart is heavy, and I feel that every breath is heavier. Look out the window, it's still pitch black, when will it be dawn before I can get out of here?
I thought a lot that night, and I thought about it all the other way. But before I went to bed, I made a decision for myself, that is, after dawn, I went to find the old man who gave me the talisman in the first place. That talisman has an effect on Zong Sheng, and the old man should not be a liar.
