Chapter 50: Zhuang Xiaomeng
More than 30 years ago, Zhuang Xiaomeng was still 17 years old and a lively girl who liked to wear white clothes.
Her parents both work in the government sector, and her brother is a college student who also entered the government after graduation. The family lives in the county government compound and is considered by others to be a very happy family.
Zhuang Xiaomeng's teeth are not very good, when he was a child, he ate too many sweets and had tooth decay, and after making up for it, he still can't change his love for sweets, especially marshmallows, fragrant and soft, Zhuang Xiaomeng has liked it the most since he was a child. But his parents didn't let him, so his brother often secretly bought marshmallows for Zhuang Xiaomeng behind his parents' back, which was a secret between the two siblings.
But when Zhuang Xiaomeng was 17 years old, something happened.
The heating pipe in the compound in the winter was broken, and a few masters came to repair it the next day, but I don't know what happened to the road, these masters actually found a tomb door under the heating pipe.
A tomb door, after opening, is life and death.
At that time, people's awareness of the protection of cultural relics was not as strong as it is now, and the tomb was found in the compound of the county government, and the city simply sent an archaeological team, and the people in the compound surrounded it in a mess to see what could be dug up in the tomb.
Under the watchful eyes of all people, the archaeological team finally opened the tomb door with a military shovel after most of the day of cleaning and measuring. It was afternoon, my parents and brother were not at home, the sun was very good, and Zhuang Xiaomeng and the crowd of people who had nothing to do witnessed this scene.
As soon as the tomb door was opened, Zhuang Xiaomeng saw a puff of pink smoke pouring out of the tomb, and the two young men of the archaeological team who pried open the tomb door fell to the ground immediately, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
The smoke filled quickly, almost after being suppressed for countless years, and finally reappeared in the light of day, and it suddenly enveloped the entire government compound, spreading around it, and no one could escape.
Zhuang Xiaomeng lay on the ground weakly, the pink smoke was sucked into his body with the air, feeling light, warm, and comfortable, just like lying in his mother's arms, but his consciousness became more and more blurred, and he didn't feel anything when lying on the cold ground.
Zhuang Xiaomeng wanted to scream, help me, help me...... But his eyes closed uncontrollably.
Under the pink smoke, the whole compound was silent, a dreamy pink.
I don't know how long Lu Dao was in a coma, Zhuang Xiaomeng opened her eyes in a daze, she felt that her body had become very light, very light, and she wanted to stand up, but she floated up all of a sudden.
There is no contact between your feet and the ground.
Underneath her, there is another "she".
It was snowing lightly, and it was falling lightly, not only "her", but also the other people in the compound and everyone from the archaeological team from the city were lying motionless on the ground, half-buried by snowflakes, with frost on their faces and hands.
Zhuang Xiaomeng was very scared, she didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, and she couldn't believe it, so she hurriedly floated all the way home, but she didn't notice that because she was floating too fast, she hit her head before she could open the door of the house.
Walk through the door.
What's going on?
Zhuang Xiaomeng was very confused, if she was Zhuang Xiaomeng, then who was the girl lying in the compound? What's wrong with everyone? Dead? Why is there no one to save everyone?
Zhuang Xiaomeng curled up on the sofa like a timid cat, hugging the pillow, shivering. She noticed a strange phenomenon, as long as she thought she could hold the pillow, she could hold the pillow in her arms, but when she didn't realize it, or turned her attention, not only the pillow, but also the sofa, passed through her body. If it weren't for her quick reactions, she would have even pierced the floor and fallen below.
It's like piercing that door.
Have I become a ghost?
The clockwork clock was ticking, the clockwork was finished, Zhuang Xiaomeng gave it another time, and after it was finished, Zhuang Xiaomeng continued to ......
I don't know how long I repeated this action, the flowers on the balcony pot bloomed, and spring arrived.
Unknowingly, Zhuang Xiaomeng nested on the sofa at home for most of the winter.
Zhuang Xiaomeng walked out of the house for the first time, and the ice and snow of the corpse downstairs had melted, but there were no disgusting moths. The big trees in the yard had budded, and in previous years at this time there should have been little birds singing in the branches, but now the little birds that flew here have fallen to the ground and died.
The pink smoke has not completely dissipated, and there is still a faint layer in the entire compound and the surrounding places, which is a forbidden area for the animals to die, but the plants are particularly charming.
The old vine of the next door as a bonsai has grown countless branches, climbing all over the corridor, just entering the spring but full of flowers, and bearing red fruits, delicate and beautiful, like a human heart.
Zhuang Xiaomeng floated down the stairs like a ghost, and the plants that occupied the corridor kindly stretched out their branches and stroked her cheeks.
Zhuang Xiaomeng really wanted to leave here, and he didn't stop even when he passed by his frozen corpse. She wanted to leave this hellish place and go to her parents, mom, and brother.
She did find it, and there was a row of corpses lying in unison at the entrance of the compound, as if they were about to enter the compound, only to die. Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at the appearance of these corpses one by one, but they were not.
Walking further out, a corpse will appear on the road from time to time, all of them are people Zhuang Xiaomeng knows, from a compound. It seemed that everyone had died on the way home, perhaps in the evening after the tomb was opened, but couldn't anyone see the strange pink smoke?
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked up, and there was an eagle soaring in the sky, flying not high, as if it was learning to fly. Perhaps tired, it took a fancy to the tall locust tree outside the compound and wanted to rest, then it flew down, and then fell straight to the ground and died.
It really can't be seen, only I can see it.
Zhuang Xiaomeng finally found his parents, mother and brother, three corpses, with a smile on their faces, as if they were talking when they died, these pink smoke did not bring them any pain, clean and neat. In the winter, the temperature was low, there were a few more snowfalls, and under the pink smoke all the animals died, and the carcasses were well preserved.
Zhuang Xiaomeng returned to the compound and found a shovel, wanting to dig a pit to bury his family together, but met a living person while digging the pit. A heavily armed person, to be precise, wearing a full set of anti-virus equipment. Zhuang Xiaomeng stopped and looked at this person in a daze, she is a ghost, in her opinion, people can't see ghosts, and she doesn't know how to face a living person.
But he didn't want the heavily armed person to raise his gun to shoot as soon as he saw her, and the special bullet made Zhuang Xiaomeng's body shake for a while, and it almost disappeared, and Zhuang Xiaomeng fainted again.
When Zhuang Xiaomeng woke up again, she found that she was back in the compound, and she stayed in the pit dug by the archaeological team, and there was a black hole in the tomb, but there was no pink smoke coming out, and there was another corpse next to her, the person who shot her. The man may have caught her and came to the compound to enter the tomb, but was unsuccessful.
And Zhuang Xiaomeng found a strange place, the closer she got to the tomb, her "body" felt warm, as if some energy had entered her "body", maybe it was this energy that repaired her current "body". However, for the tomb, Zhuang Xiaomeng had an instinctive fear and did not dare to enter it.
It's summer now, the sun is big, and the corpses in the yard are all dried corpses, Zhuang Xiaomeng went to take a look, and his own corpse was also like this, dry and shriveled, like bacon eaten during the New Year.
Zhuang Xiaomeng found a document from the person who shot her, this person is called Long Feng, and he belongs to a confidential state department, the Long Group. She also found some strange bullets on his body and in the chamber of the gun, which seemed to have some strange patterns painted with red paint, and it was this bullet that injured her.
Zhuang Xiaomeng was very scared, after all, she was no longer a person, she was a ghost. There is always an inexplicable fear of ghosts and humans, whether it is a good ghost or a bad ghost, many people's first thought is either to run or to destroy, just like Long Feng.
Autumn came, then winter came, then spring came again, then summer, and then autumn again......
Zhuang Xiaomeng hid alone in the deserted compound for a long time, how long? The clockwork clock at home was completely broken, and she couldn't count the time if she wasn't gone, anyway, years, maybe almost a decade.
The pink smoke completely dissipated, and every time the old locust tree outside the compound blooms, there will be a lot of birds jumping around and singing on the branches, but they just don't dare to enter the compound, there seems to be something terrifying, Zhuang Xiaomeng can only run to the old locust tree outside the compound at the risk of being found when he is lonely, and listen to the songs of the little birds.
The corpses in the compound had been thoroughly weathered, leaving only a few relatively hard skulls, which gurgled and ran around when the wind blew.
The nourishing plants with corpses grow very well, and they are almost everywhere in the compound, on the low walls, in the corridors, and even on the outer walls of the buildings.
After so many years, there was no one like Long Feng, and people seemed to have gradually forgotten about this compound and what happened in the compound, and the surrounding area was completely deserted.
Zhuang Xiaomeng began to walk out of the city boldly, and so many years of loneliness made her discover a strange ability of herself.
Not only can she be seen, but she can also make the creatures that see her see what she imagines, that is, hallucinations, which are found in the birds in the old locust tree outside the compound.
The simple creatures looked a little frightened when they saw her unique existence, but Zhuang Xiaomeng was too lonely, as if he was close to these happy creatures. So she kept praying in her heart that the birds would no longer be afraid of her, and even take the initiative to approach her.
A miraculous scene happened, the birds really flew down the branches as she thought, chirping and landing at her feet, and the little heads pecked the empty ground from time to time, as if Zhuang Xiaomeng gave them food.
This hallucination is not only useful for birds, Zhuang Xiaomeng also experimented with all the creatures in the vicinity, rats, snakes, stray dogs...... Even people can see the hallucinations she imagined. It's just that if she uses this ability too many times, her "body" will become weaker and weaker, and there is only one way to recover.
That is to get close to the tomb and slowly absorb that warm energy.
Zhuang Xiaomeng is very happy, enough, this is enough, as long as she is no longer alone, what luxury does she have.
She walked into the crowd, constantly changing her identity, and only returned to this place when her "body" was weak. It wasn't until she met Li Liqin and ate a small amount of ginseng in Li Liqin's hand that she felt that her "body" that had not gone back to replenish energy for a long time had recovered a lot, so she wanted to ask for more, and told Li Liqin where she lived.
Then he met Li Xiaobai, who had a super pet system, and was seen through his identity.
