86. Quicksand between the fingers

He seemed dumbfounded again, and while he was stunned, I once again seized the vantage point above, and pressed his palm, which was already ready to "do evil", to his head. [Eyes sweep down, he had already stripped off his mid-shirt when he was sleeping, his upper body naked, his white chest and sternum bulging, although he looked lean but not weak.]

He leaned down and kissed him down the neck, and heard the breathing on the top of his head suddenly sink down, but he didn't come back to seize the main attack, just let me torture him in this way. The first half of this love was completely dominated by me, but when the two met frankly at the end, I had the idea of retreating, and at this time, Ah Ping allowed me to retreat, took over the sovereignty and pressed me, completely leading me into the ocean of sinking. I bit down on his shoulder when I was emotional, and my teeth were stuck in the flesh, leaving deep marks.

At the end of a hearty love, the breaths of the two are intertwined, long and short. I hugged him with both hands and trembled slightly, in addition to the extreme feeling of the body, there was also the fear in my heart that even love could not fill.

Because I am tempted, liked, and in love, I am reluctant, unable to let go, and, afraid of losing.

I looked at his shoulder by the lamplight, and the tooth marks on it were very deep, and I licked it with my tongue in distress, and heard him chuckle and spit out three words: "Little wild cat." I laughed too.

After that, I fell into a low tide of confusion, and every day I was afraid that those two people would come again, and I wanted to see Ah Ping all the time, for fear that one of them would disappear without noticing him. This confusion bothered me so much that I couldn't sleep well at night.

When I woke up in the middle of the night and found that there was no one around, I was shocked, and I staggered out of the room to find no one, and my heart became heavier and heavier. Even I walked lightly to the door of Widow Liu, listening intently for any movement inside, and peeking through the crack in the door, but even if I saw that the oil lamp was still lit inside, I couldn't feel at ease.

Walking back in a decadent way, I came to my door and went to the inner ring to look, and suddenly my eyes sank, how did I forget the secret passage under the bed?

Without hesitation, I entered the room and closed the door, and then came to the bed and lifted the futon, and sure enough, I saw that a bed board was lifted. The second time I went to the ground, I was already familiar with the way, and I brought the oil lamp on the table with me before I went in, so I didn't have to be blind this time. After passing the bell and carefully observing the ground, I avoided the rope and came to the door of the library and saw that the door was ajar.

I turned sideways and looked in, just in time to see the desk, but I couldn't see Ah Ping sitting there. I listened carefully again, but I didn't see any movement inside, and I thought to myself, Could it be that Ah Ping is standing in a corner where I can't see?

Anyway, this place is not a secret to me, and Ah Ping didn't care that I knew, so he didn't hesitate to push open the door and walk in. When I went inside, I found that it was empty, and Ah Ping was not in it at all.

My heart suddenly panicked, did I think wrong? But the bed board was obviously lifted. Just when I was left without a master, I suddenly heard a strange noise, and immediately turned my eyes to search.

I could hear it very clearly, and it was hard to tell what it was coming from. There was a dull sound of something falling on the floor, and I first went to the bookshelf to inspect it, and saw that there were no books rolling off the floor, but a book protruding from the top of the neat book wall because it had been pulled out halfway.

I thought that Ah Ping must have been here, and that classic book should have been inserted back in after reading it. Stretching out my arms, I naturally wanted to push it in, but I found that I couldn't push it in no matter how hard I tried, so I simply pulled it out, intending to take it down and put it on the empty shelf. As soon as I pulled out, I was shocked to find that the tree wall in front of me had moved.

Stunned as I watched the wall move in two from the middle to the sides, and when the space in the middle was revealed, only two words came to my mind - mechanism.

What surprised me even more was that the people standing or kneeling behind the book wall turned their heads at the same time, and all of them had a look of surprise on their faces.

His gaze swept up and down, and finally stared at the face that I was all too familiar with. Maybe an hour ago, the person I was sleeping with suddenly felt strange.

In addition to his expressionless face after being amazed, there were two kneeling in front of him. Uncle Mu will kneel in front of him or can understand, from many incidents can detect the clues, a widower takes special care of the neighbor, in addition to the emotional entanglement I thought about before, there is also a possibility that he himself is protecting the mother and son of the Liu family.

However, how could the widow also kneel in front of Ah Ping?

In the long silence, it was rare that the widow did not scold me as usual, except for glaring at me in surprise when I opened the wall of the book at first, and then buried her head in silence.

It was Ah Ping who broke the silence: "You all go down first." ”

Seeing that Uncle Mu got up and went to help the widow again, he walked out through the door on the other side. The space was only left with Ah Ping and me, bounded by the book wall, one standing here and the other there, separated by a few feet away.

It seems that because of this wall of books, there are two boundaries between me and him.

Ah Ping kept looking at me, his fine eyes not blinking, and I bowed my head in silence after realizing the distance between the two. Turn around, lift your feet, maybe something you won't lose if you don't grasp it tightly, for example, in the palm of your hand, quicksand.

Just one step, the hand is grabbed from behind. didn't look back, but his eyes were sour, and his low voice was calling: "Daughter-in-law." ”

The corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic smile, word by word: "I am not your daughter-in-law." ”

After a moment of silence, he changed his words: "Lan, don't go." ”

"What are you going to do if you don't leave? Watch you continue acting? I lowered my head and asked mournfully.

"No, I'll show you him."

I didn't understand, so I passively turned around and wrapped my shoulders around it, trying to struggle, but when I stepped in, I froze. Just now I was standing outside the wall of the book, and the view was just obscured and I couldn't see it. I thought about many possibilities, but I didn't think that after this layer of mechanisms, there would be a coffin in the secret room in the secret room.

Thinking of Ah Ping's words just now—I'll show you him, a certain thought flashed through my mind, and I raised my eyes incredulously.

He didn't look at me, his gaze stared lightly. I took a closer look at the coffin in front of me after I calmed down, although I didn't understand the material of the wood, but I also knew that it was good to see its pitch black and shiny, especially the carvings on the top were like ghostly axes, and the two ends were more like the feeling of coiling dragons upward.

"Inside is ...... Your father? After much hesitation, he asked.

Seeing that Ah Ping really nodded, his heart was slightly paused, when his grandfather sent someone a while ago, he told me that he was here to keep filial piety for his father, but I only thought that I would put his father's coffin in the ground.

Suddenly I remembered that one night, I was punished by the widow and woman to kneel in the Buddha's room, and a little thief came in the middle of the night, and later saw the soil below the hole and the hole dug in another hole, and guessed that the person might be a tomb robber. But at that time, I just thought that the thief had looked away and dug the wrong hole, but it turned out that it was not the thief who looked at it wrongly, and there was really a "tomb" underground.

I'm afraid that the study house outside is just a cover-up, mainly to hide Ah Ping's father's coffin.

In the turn of mindfulness, I suddenly saw Ah Ping let go of my hand to push the coffin lid, and couldn't help but pull his sleeve in surprise: "What are you doing?" Without looking up, he replied, "Come and see him." As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the coffin lid rumbling and moving, and it was false to say that I was not frightened at that moment, how could I have expected Ah Ping to pull me to his father's coffin and say that he wanted me to see him?

A white skeleton is what I can imagine a person would become after death. And this kind of scene I have never encountered, and it is impossible to see it in the original era, it is more from external information.

But when I resisted the urge to close my eyes and look under the coffin, I couldn't help but be stunned, where are the white bones? In the luxurious coffin, only a set of brocade clothes was placed, plus some dazzling gold and jade funeral goods.

I have reacted to three words in my brain - a mound of clothes.

Only then did I hear Ah Ping say: "Don't be afraid, it's just my father's clothes and spiritual position." No one can deny your identity anymore after you have met, and even if my grandfather comes, I can tell him that you are my daughter-in-law. ”

Turning his eyes slightly, it turned out that he was moving this thought. The dark eyes turned to me, but he was still calm but no longer confused, he pulled me back, then knelt down in front of the coffin, and at the same time pulled me by the hand, and knelt down side by side with him.

"Father, her name is Xu Lan, and it was her son who was unfilial, so she was brought to see you."

Looking at his pious appearance of kowtowing to the end, the ripples that had originally started in his heart were slowly dissolving at a predictable speed. This kid can always touch my heart with his actions when I am angry, and make me soft for him again and again.

Sighing, what can it be? married to this bad boy who doesn't tell the truth, and can only be at his mercy. In any case, it is reasonable to pay a visit to this father-in-law who has never met, and follow Ah Ping to bow to the end, and kowtow three times in a row before getting up.

Ah Ping went to move the lid of the coffin again, and asked me to help. At the moment of closing, I saw a black wooden sign erected at the head, and on it was the word "Yiwen", which was not exactly the words engraved on the wooden plaque behind the statue of Guanyin in the Buddhist room? It seems that I guessed correctly at the time, and the Buddha room is not only dedicated to Guanyin and the Buddha master, but also Ah Ping's father.

"Why don't you tell me?" I asked softly in the silence.

Since self-deception can no longer be overcome, some things can only be put on the table. Of course, if he didn't want to, I wouldn't be reluctant, and I didn't have the idea of asking questions when I opened the wall of the book and saw the scene inside.

"Let's sit down and talk." I didn't have any objection when I heard Ah Ping's proposal, but there were no chairs in the room, so he pulled me to the corner and sat on the floor. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's better for you to ask and I'll answer." ”

Shrug your shoulders, that's fine. Regardless of whether it is true or false that he is not usually good at words, I can take the initiative by asking questions.

The first question: "You're not stupid, are you?" ”

This is actually a statement of affirmation, but I still want to ask it with certainty, because it is the shadow that covers my head for a period of time before and after I married into the Liu family. And I have proved for a long time that he is not stupid, but he is a little mentally incomplete like a child, and it turns out that he is indeed not stupid, and the stupid person is me.
