"Huh?" I sat up, completely messy, and quickly got up: "Doctor, what's wrong?" ”

Who knew that the two doctors might have been too flustered, and their words trembled: "You wait...... You're waiting here first......"

Saying that, I actually went out!

Of course, I wanted to ask what was going on, so I chased to the door, but I saw that I was in a hurry with two doctors, and I was about to rush to an office with unsteady steps, but I was suddenly blocked by Cheng Ke's long figure!

My heart is cold, what does Cheng Ke want to do?

And the two doctors' hurried footsteps stopped all of a sudden!

I ran over, Cheng Ke turned around and saw me, his thin lips hooked, revealing a smile: "Lu Qiao, the doctor said that everything is normal in your body, you may be a little cold, you can recuperate." ”

"What?" I turned to look at the two doctors and asked, "Doctor, what happened?" ”

But the two doctors, who were still frightened just now, suddenly changed their faces, and their faces were full of kindness: "Drink more hot water, menstrual disorders are very common." ”

"Menstrual irregularities?" My heart was pounding, that is, I didn't mean to be pregnant!

But the reaction of the two doctors just now was really strange, and I cautiously asked: "Doctor, apart from this, do I have any other questions, what did you see in the ultrasound just now?" ”

"I didn't see anything!" Unexpectedly, the two doctors denied it and replied to me with a stiff smile: "The test result is normal, you may be too nervous, just relax." ”

How can it be a mental allergy? The appearance of the two doctors just now is not pretending to be an April Fool's Day trick on me! How can they be like this, turning their faces faster than turning books!

I still want to ask again, but Cheng Ke has already taken my hand and thanked the two doctors in a very educated manner, and the two doctors also nodded politely, but what do I think, how do I think the two doctors laughed and laughed, but the smile was stiff, and they moved, but they moved unnaturally?

He didn't even roll his eyes, like ...... Two puppets that were manipulated......

"Cheng Ke ......"

Cheng Ke hugged my waist and smiled slightly: "I'm here." ”

I know, Cheng Ke, everything can be done! It was quite a coincidence that he appeared in front of the two doctors just now, could it be ......

"Lu Qiao!" At this moment, a clear voice sounded, and when I turned around, it was really a coincidence, but at the corner of the stairs in the hospital, I met Li Minglang and Chuyang Daoist!

Li Minglang's face is much better, and his eyebrows are even more picturesque, but the neckline under his long neck can still be seen with the gauze wrapped around his body, and it seems that he is about to be discharged from the hospital.

As soon as the two met, the head of the Chuyang Dao was in a state of tears, and he quickly shrank behind Li Minglang, and Li Minglang's bright big eyes had already met me and Cheng Ke.

Cheng Ke looked calm, but the look in his eyes was tense, and the hand around my waist became tighter.

Li Minglang's gaze fell on Cheng Ke's hand, paused, avoided his gaze, looked at me, and showed a clean smile: "Why did you come to the hospital too?" ”

"I ......" I didn't mean to come to see my aunt, so I smiled back: "It's nothing, it's just a small problem with headache and brain fever." How's your injury? ”

"Much better," Li Minglang went down the stairs and stood beside me, he was a head taller than me, but he was about the same height as Cheng Ke, his big eyes swept Cheng Ke's expression, inexplicably with a little newborn calf who was not afraid of the tiger's provocation, but in an instant, he was well educated, and only looked at me and said, "I really thanked you last time." ”

"Don't say that......" I shook my hands, "It was a misunderstanding, no one wants that kind of thing, and I want to say sorry." ”

The head of the Chuyang Dao cowered and followed, and the word "hypocrisy" was written on a very obvious expression, and I pretended not to see it.

"So, I'm ......" Li Minglang smiled slightly, and wanted to speak, but Cheng Ke took over the conversation coldly, or the last time he saw Li Minglang, that disdainful expression: "We are still very busy, we don't have time to talk about the past, besides, there is nothing to talk about with you, the two Taoists, goodbye." ”

Li Minglang looked like a very proud person, and after only half of the words, he was naturally a little unwilling: "I just talked to Lu Qiao, not to you." ”

"With Lu Qiao?" Cheng Ke raised his chin, still looking down on people very much: "When did you become so familiar, why don't I know?" ”

"You're just a ghost who follows Lu Qiao, and there's no need for you to know about my affairs with her." Li Minglang looks young and vigorous, always a little sharp, and Cheng Ke's evil temperament is even more unfathomable......

Phew, where is the time to be cranky, I'm afraid that there will be something more, and in the end I have to clean up the mess myself, this time, I really can't wait to hide in trouble, as the saying goes, persimmons have to pick up soft pinch, I don't dare to offend Cheng Ke, who gets along with me day and night, so I have to say to Li Minglang very sorry: "We, really a little urgent, I'm sorry." ”

Li Minglang was stunned, and what else to say, I pretended not to notice it, and quickly dragged Cheng Ke away.

Cheng Ke was very unhappy to go, looking at that look, eighty percent still had to fight before he was happy, so he was a little disappointed.

Obviously looks introverted and evil, why is it naïve today?

Male ghost heart, submarine needle.

Only then did he turn around, but he heard the head of the Chuyang Dao lower his voice and said: "Minglang, I advise you not to have anything to do with them, that powerful ghost is not easy to provoke, but it is the woman, Yin Tang is black, and the obvious luck is low." Whoever gets caught is unlucky. ”

Alas...... I sighed in my heart, this time is low, when will it pass?

Li Minglang didn't answer yet, but Cheng Ke smiled as if he had seized the opportunity, I only heard a "coax", The emergency light on the wall suddenly fell, I looked back, impartially, and fell on the head of the head of the Chuyang Daoist, his hand covered his head, and blood flowed out of his fingers, obviously not lightly injured.

"Oops......"

"Senior brother, are you okay?"

Of course I knew that the emergency lights could not fall so easily, so I quickly quickened my pace and dragged Cheng Ke away.

Li Minglang and Cheng Ke, although they cover up very well, are actually like two fighting cocks, as soon as they meet, they seem to be able to pinch each other at any time.

This is probably the so-called natural offense? It's best not to let these two meet next time.

Just thinking about it, the phone rang, I took it out and saw that it was a WeChat, from ...... Li Minglang?

I don't know who chose the angle, although Li Minglang's avatar is himself, it is much more difficult to see than himself.

It's a bit like a thief, I avoided Cheng Ke and took a sneak look, my heart sank suddenly, and I saw what was said on WeChat: "Just now I wanted to tell you that you have other suspicious spirits on your body, in addition to your Cheng Ke, you also have other suspicious spirits, be careful in everything, and contact me at any time if you encounter anything that requires me." ”

My heart moved, and to this day, I still wonder, when I was in the Black Bully Gang, how did I remember "Mother of Pearl"?

It's a very uncomfortable feeling, as if there's something that goes with you, but you can't see or touch it.

Could it be that it is a strange thing that wants to eat yin qi again? Still is...... is the same as Cheng Ke said, release pubic lice to harm me, and kill the person who specializes in ghost raisers?

"What's wrong?" A cool air leaned over, and Cheng Keqingyue's voice attached to my ear, and he asked in a low voice.

"It's fine." I subconsciously put my phone in my pocket and said, "Spam ads." ”

Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes flickered: "Okay, if you say it, I'll believe it." ”

I was stunned: "So, what should I do if I lie to you?" ”

"Lie to me, it means that you still care about me." Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with a snowstorm: "What I'm most afraid of is that you don't even bother to lie to me." ”

These words are poignant, which makes people feel slightly distressed, as if they have been pricked with a needle and a tube of blood has come out.

Why, I always think, where have I heard what he said?

"Ding ......" just stuffed the phone into his pocket, it was unwilling to be lonely and rang again, this time it was taken out, it was my mother's phone, she and my dad traveled abroad a few days ago, and now the roaming bill should be very expensive, strange, my mother's budget-conscious character, how could she call directly?

I answered, only to hear my mother's voice in a nasal voice, as if crying: "Lu Qiao, where are you?" ”

I have a weak heart, how dare I tell the matter of my aunt: "Outside, wandering...... Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with my dad again? Didn't you say last time that beating is kissing, scolding, and love, and you don't like to kick with your feet? Did my dad have the upper hand this time? ”

"Stinky boy, what nonsense," my mother said, "Does your dad have the ability to mess with your mother?" You look up to that old thing, too. ”

My heart tightened: "So, what's wrong?" ”

"Your second aunt just called," my mother sniffled heavily: "Your second uncle's cousin Lulu is gone......"

"What?" I only felt that a basin of cold water was pouring down, and the whole person was stunned all of a sudden, and the voice couldn't help but get louder, attracting all the people next to me to look at me sideways, but I couldn't care about it: "Didn't Lulu just graduate from college?" How could it be gone? Mom, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? ”

On the other end of the phone, my mother's voice trembled, as if she was resisting the urge to cry: "Who doesn't want to be wrong? But the kid ...... It's really gone, you hurry up and go back to grandma's house first, and your father and I will go back as soon as possible. ”

"How is this possible......" I hurriedly asked, "why not?" ”

"The child couldn't think about it for a while, and drank pesticides...... "My mother wiped her nose heavily, and her voice was hoarse: "Don't ask so much, all the relatives have arrived, you should hurry up, grandma's family has a small population, there is such a big thing, and you need manpower, you hurry up, you should give money and money, and you should contribute." ”

Can't think of it? I don't even know how I hung up the phone, I just feel my hands shaking all the time.

Grandma's house is not close, and I really haven't been back for a long time, but Lulu went to college in Yuning, so we have been in contact, she said that she would stay in Yuning to work after graduation, and I also invited her to live with her at that time, why is there no news in just a short period of time, she will commit suicide?

"Where is Grandma's house?" Cheng Ke had already heard it, and his face turned grim: "I'll go back with you." ”

"On the outskirts of the city, it's called Tanshen Town." I replied in a state of confusion: "It's a small place, maybe you don't know." ”

Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible doubt: "Tanshen Town........."

"Huh?" I furrowed my brow: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the same as porcelain from Jingdezhen and osmanthus candy from Suzhou." Cheng Ke said: "Tanshen Town, out of the ghost master." ”

"What?" I was stunned: "How did I not know?" ”

"The world is so big, how can you know everything." Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "I know it's enough." ”

As soon as Cheng Ke said this, in his mind, it seemed that the long-term memories separated by thousands of mountains and rivers suddenly turned over one by one like pictures of a marquee, how many years, I haven't been to my grandmother's house......

When I was in elementary school, I would occasionally go to my grandmother's house to live in the summer vacation, but I never went there again, and vaguely, I remembered that there were many taboos in the village that were not in the city.

They are not allowed to go out after 9 p.m., they are not allowed to look up when they go to the toilet, when someone in the village is married, pregnant women and dragons are not allowed to participate, and when sleeping, the head of the shoe must be facing the door......

And the people there never go to the hospital when they are sick, but are treated with strange home remedies.

For example, once when I was sick, I had a high fever that didn't go away, and I saw everything like a kaleidoscope, but no one sent me to the doctor, it was my grandmother who took a needle and muttered something while picking my chest and squeezing out a lot of black blood, and after that, it was fine.

When I was a child, I didn't think anything was going on, I just took everything for granted, and I thought it was the taboo of the old man, but now Cheng Ke mentioned it, inexplicably, I started a cold behind my back!

It turns out that I myself am so close to the mysterious profession of ghost keeper?

Then, is my grandmother's family also ......

In any case, because of Lulu, I still have to go back, sitting in the car, I looked out the window of the car and looked at the scenery that was flying back in the past, and my mind was also racing back to the memories of the old times.

I remember the mountain behind Tanshen Town, there were wild apricots and wild mulberries on the mountain, I went to pick them with Lulu, and the juice of the wild mulberries could not be washed off when they fell on my clothes, and I was scolded for this.

Obviously, I am older, but when I am scolded by my grandmother, I always show Lulu: "Your sister is from the city, how can you know so much?" You come up from the mountain every day, and you don't know how to say it? ”

Lulu and I both knew that Grandma was just thundering and raining, and she didn't bother us.

It was a good time......

Later, I forgot why, and I never went back to that town.

Lulu, why can't she think about it? Obviously, he is such a cheerful and laughing child...... Thinking so, I burst into tears as the warm wind poured in from the car window.

Cheng Ke put my head on his shoulder, and his voice was deep: "Many things, life and death are fateful. ”

I didn't speak, I closed my eyes, Cheng Ke's cold and slender fingers wiped away my tears, and I fell into a dream.

Like in the midst of a scarlet sun, Lulu screamed and laughed, and ran into the wheat field dyed red by the sun, and I panted and chased after me, but suddenly many white arms rose from the half-human height of the wheat field and dragged Lulu in!

"Sister! Sister! Lulu's cry was so terrible that I ran to the wheat field to save her, but I couldn't find anything!

Suddenly, my feet were cold, and a hand reached out from the ground and grabbed my ankle!

A scream was held in his throat, he opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a chill on his body, it turned out that he had already fallen into Cheng Ke's arms.

Cheng Ke's long eyelashes flickered in the setting sun, and the peach blossom eyes seemed to reflect a dream: "Have a nightmare?" I'm here, I've always been. ”

For the first time, I had a feeling of "lucky" for Cheng Ke's existence.

I guess I was hit by a sugar-coated cannonball again. I'm such an undetermined person, I really deserve to be smashed, no, I deserve to be smashed.

But as soon as Lulu's matter came to mind, I felt heavy again, and I was not in the mood to think about it anymore, and the car had already turned over a large desolate willow forest, and came to a stop at the bottom of a dirt slope.

This road slowly leads up, there is only one soil on the huge soil slope, the style can be called a three-storey small building that combines urban and rural areas, the door of the small building is hung with a spirit flag, and the door is tied with white flowers, I inquired well, it is the second uncle's house.

Cheng Ke and I got out of the car, it would be the same as in the dream, it was the time when the sun was like blood, and the branches of the willow grove were dancing in the afterglow of the sunset by the wind of demons, like a strange hand that only needs to reach out to catch people.

It is very obvious that here, permeated with a thick yin qi similar to that in the haunted house in the community and the wax museum, and it is even deeper than those two places, and the oppressive people are simply breathless.

Cheng Ke's expression was actually a little moved, and even the pace was actually familiar with the road.

"Have you been here before?" I couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know......" Cheng Ke looked at the high dirt slope and frowned: "Many things have passed too long and I can't remember." ”

When I got to the slope, I was about to knock on the door, and a few withered fingers pulled through the crack in the door, and the blood-painted door squeaked open.

I felt a sudden in my heart, a miserable white face was in front of me, it was a middle-aged woman, her head was unkempt, her eyes were deeply sunken, her mouth was still scarlet, her voice was very hoarse, staring at me and Cheng Ke, and she was a little nervous: "Who are you?" What are you going to do? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but be startled, I really didn't see it if I didn't look carefully, this ...... Isn't it the second aunt who liked to dress up the most?

The second aunt was a flower in Tanshen Town back then, but now it ...... The years are merciless.

I stepped back and replied, "Second aunt, I'm Lu Qiao. ”

"Lu Qiao?" The second aunt stared at me, looking left and right, and suddenly I was caught off guard with a dazzling smile: "Are you Lu Qiao?" I haven't seen each other for many years, and I've become a big girl! ”

"Yes," I nodded, a little sad, "I should have come a few times, Lulu is really ...... this time she is separated from us forever."

"Who is this?" The second aunt didn't seem to hear my words at all, and saw Cheng Ke then.

"My name is Cheng Ke." Cheng Ke nodded very politely: "It's Lu Qiao's boyfriend." ”

"Oops, it turned out to be a boyfriend? But handsome, handsome! "The second aunt has a rag-like face, and she looks at Cheng Kelai from side to side; Okay, okay...... Hey, hey, hey......"

I was puzzled, the second aunt is now a skinny body always dancing, I don't know where, there is a strange appearance, my daughter died, obviously it should be painful, why I look at her, it seems that the corners of the eyebrows are a little happy.

It's like the blow is too big and I'm insane.

"Second aunt, why can't Lulu think about it......" Before I finished speaking, the second aunt first grabbed my hand very enthusiastically and dragged me inside: "You come in first, my son ......"

I had no choice but to follow in, and Cheng Ke followed behind me, looking at this small courtyard for a long time.

After entering the courtyard, there was a wing room on the left, and there was an iron door in the wing room, and only a crack was opened, and I was surprised to find that behind the gap, there was a pair of eyes hidden, looking out in the bones.

"the cubs, get up," the second aunt also followed my eyes to see those eyes, went up to the iron door is a kick, after a low scream, the eyes disappeared into the shadow behind the big iron door.

"Who's that?" I hurriedly said, "Second aunt, will you kick him?" ”

"You don't care." The second aunt was very excited when she saw it, and pulled me in in a hurry, two rows of yellow teeth stained with scarlet lipstick marks, and smiled at me: "I miss you, I haven't been here for a long time, I think very ...... in my heart."

The sun was already sinking, and a huge shadow was shrouded in the courtyard of this small building, and a huge coffin was resting in the center of the courtyard, like a giant beast lurking in the darkness.

There is a huge multicolored satin flower hanging on the head of the coffin, I don't know what kind of new funeral exquisiteness it is.

A group of people were silently gathered around the big coffin, some standing and some squatting, like a statue, presumably relatives who had come to help.

But I glanced at it, and found that I didn't know any of these relatives who had come to do their work, and the clothes they were wearing were ......

It's just weird, it's the white linen material of the mourning dress, but it's tied into the big flower style of the wedding dress.

Those relatives stared at me one by one, only their eyes were moving, as if they wanted to pierce a few holes in my face with their eyes, which made people's hearts chill.

I had no choice but to nod to them, and asked by the way, "Second aunt, what about my grandfather and uncle's family?" ”

"Hahahahaha......" The second aunt laughed violently, as if she didn't hear me asking anything.

I felt more and more awkward in my heart.

Looking back at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke's cold eyes fell on the big coffin.

In front of the coffin was an incense table, on which were neatly placed offerings and incense, and in front of it were neatly piled up with yellow paper.

A black-and-white photo of Lulu is being placed on the head of the coffin, the two apricot eyes are smiling crookedly, and the dimples are looming, obviously it is such a young girl, how can she not think about it!

The funeral ceremony, I still remember a little, lit up yellow paper, put it in the brazier, and saluted Lulu, because the deceased was the greatest, although I was her cousin, I also knelt in front of the incense case, and silently shed tears.

Hometown customs, mourners without the support of the deceased's family, is not able to get up, I knelt for a long time, only to remember this incident, but when I went back to look for the second aunt, I found that the second aunt was gone.

"Huh?" I'm a little stunned, where did my second aunt go?

Cheng Ke had already pulled me up: "Crying too much hurts my eyes." ”

I hesitated, even if my second aunt didn't come to support me, other relatives shouldn't turn a blind eye like this, but they still looked at me with cold eyes and a joke.

Even, as if he couldn't help it, he laughed "fluttering".

Where does this atmosphere feel like a funeral?

The feeling that something is wrong is getting stronger and stronger! I took out my mobile phone and wanted to make a call to my grandmother's house, but the phone couldn't get through.

What age, there is no place that can not cover the mobile signal!

I sighed, turned my face, and saw that at some point, an old lady was sitting next to the coffin, dressed in a fancy Tang costume, with gray hair, red face, looking quite rich, taking the fruit on the table, peeling bananas and eating bananas, while eating, her two feet in black cloth shoes were still swaying leisurely.

If people are not buried, offerings cannot be eaten, which is a taboo that children know.

I guess this kind of unruly old lady is generally soft-hearted, so I accosted me: "Grandma, I'm Lulu's cousin, I came from Yuning, I don't often go back to my hometown, my relatives are not very familiar, don't be surprised by the rudeness, I don't know which relative you are?" I'd like to ask about Lulu. ”

The old lady looked at me and smiled with neat and somewhat false white teeth: "I'm not your relative, I'm here to help with the happy event, hehehe." ”

"Happy event?" I was stunned all of a sudden, it was obviously a funeral, how could it be a happy event?

Cheng Ke dragged me over and said, "Lu Qiao, you don't know the specifications of the funeral here, right?" ”

Specification? I also saw funerals when I was a child, and even ate the snacks on the funeral with Lulu, just like the old lady just now, although the impression is not particularly clear, but roughly, it should be like this, right?

Wait a minute...... I suddenly remembered that there is a custom in Tanshen Town, that is, if unmarried men and women pass away, the family generally does not hold a funeral, because if they do not have a family, they can only be regarded as children, and they are not qualified to be buried in the ancestral grave at all, but like children who died young, they are buried at the crossroads and send them to death.

What's more, in the village, suicide is a sin at all, and people who die by suicide should be buried if they can't meet their biological parents anymore, so Lulu's grand funeral doesn't conform to the rules of Tanshen Town at all!

Those dusty memories that I thought had long since dissipated in the long years, and for some reason, today seemed to suddenly unveil and suddenly cleared up in my heart.

I turned my head and looked at the old lady again, only to realize that what she was wearing was not a Tang costume at all, but a shroud!

Under the remnant sun, the shadow of anything was stretched into a long piece, but the old lady's toes hanging three feet above the ground had no shadow.

I had a chill on my body, no wonder, she ate the offerings of the dead in front of so many people, it turned out to be ......

"Sister......" A clear and sweet voice sounded close to the ear: "Are you here?" ”

I was stunned, it was Lulu's voice.
