Chapter 19—Going to the Appointment
At this time, Xin'er felt as if she was in deep water, but she could breathe normally, and there was no feeling of moisture, only a strong sense of pressure and the shaking ripples in front of her eyes made Xin'er realize that she was in the water.
The water was clear, without the slightest impurities, but there was no light either, and it was pitch black all around. There was nothing around except for the bubbles that appeared when he swung his body. In this environment, there is no way to distinguish the direction, Xin'er swims around like a headless fly, and keeps shouting in her heart, "Grandpa, grandpa, where are you?"
I don't know how long I swam, Xin'er's eyes suddenly lit up, the darkness was suddenly swept away, the clear river water turned sky blue, Xin'er subconsciously raised her head and saw her reflection from underwater.
Looking at herself in front of her, Xin'er was really startled. Red hair, evil eyes, face full of evil colors, black air lingering all over the body, blood stained red face, blood stained red hands, blood stained red skirt, the soles of his feet in front of him are not stepping on water, but a hill made of white bones, blood flowing on the white bones, I don't know if it is my own or someone else's.
Xin'er subconsciously touched herself, and looked down at her feet again. I saw that the surrounding water formed a whirlpool, constantly retreating, and finally was sucked away by something. Xin'er is suspended in mid-air, surrounded by countless mirrors, and in the mirrors are countless of herself.
There is the newborn self, there is the blue-haired self with frosty face, there is the pink-haired self who is charming in every way, and there is the silver-haired self that is high above...... There is also a self who is always behind him and back to back.
Countless selfs made Xin'er gradually lose herself, she couldn't tell which was the real self and which one was the current self, only to see Xin'er close her eyes in pain, curl up with her head in her hands, and scream in pain.
"Ahh
With a scream, the mirror shattered, and the self in the mirror disappeared with the broken mirror, revealing a white nothingness, and Xin'er lay in the nothingness, her eyes were blank and motionless. A man walked slowly towards Xin'er. White hair, white clothes, and white shoes seem so ordinary in this nothingness, yet so unusual.
The man walked up to Xin'er, knelt down on one knee, bent down to caress Xin'er's cheek, and a soft voice passed through Xin'er's ears, "Tell me, what did you see?" His voice was as ethereal as this space, and there was a special magic that made Xin'er regain consciousness, and subconsciously said: "I, a lot, a lot of me." After saying that, Xin'er sat up, put her hands in her hair, and shook her head painfully, "Why so many me, why so many different mes, why?"
"So, which one is the real you?" the woman patted Xin'er on the back and said slowly
After listening to the man's words, Xin'er's pupils gradually dilated, her expression was dull, and she stared straight up, as if she was contemplative, and as if confused, she muttered, "Which one is the real me?"
The man picked up Xin'er in a daze, and a jade bed appeared in front of him, he gently put Xin'er on the bed, stroked Xin'er's forehead and said, "Sleep, sleep, everything will know when you wake up." ”
Xin'er gradually closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep, the man looked at Xin'er and frowned suddenly, "You must wake up." ”
......
Seven days went by in a flash. At this time, the Xuanyuan City, the entire Washington Mansion was filled with a sad atmosphere, and the huge city seemed to be infected by this sad atmosphere, the informed, the uninformed, the happy, the unhappy, all those who walked on the street lowered their heads and sighed, even those who had been killed felt a little sorry.
The inside of Washington is like withered white petals, and everyone is crying hoarsely, and the cry echoes in Washington, sounding like a herd of sows in heat howling, which is unbearable.
"Squeak. I saw the door of Washington slowly open, and Wu Xuan and the four walked into Washington, and the Washington Mansion was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Wu Xuan and the four of them. On the surface, there is no wave, but in the heart, he can't wait to break the four of them into pieces. As if they hadn't seen everyone's eyes, the four of them walked straight towards the lobby of Washington, Wu Xuan shouted as he walked: "Hey, didn't you scream just now, why didn't you squeak now, is it possible that you have become dumb?"
Everyone in Washington naturally knew where the four people came from, and they all lowered their heads and didn't speak, they couldn't figure out why the eldest young master invited these four to come, and why they asked everyone to perform this play.
At this time, an old man kneeling in the courtyard said: "In our funeral in Washington, only people related to the deceased can participate. Miscellaneous people, please respect yourself!"
Wu Xuan looked at the old man with interest and said, "Do you mean that I have something to do with that guy's death?" Or do you mean that I am not qualified to attend your funeral in Washington?"
Before the words fell, an invisible coercion came towards the old man, and the old man didn't dare to look at Wu Xuan at all, so he had to turn his head and say, "I, I didn't say that." ”
"Since it has nothing to do with me, it has something to do with your Washington Mansion, could it be that someone from your Washington Mansion killed your second young master and then lied that he was killed by someone else?" Wu Xuan said
The old man was suddenly a little panicked: "No, no, it's impossible for our people from Washington to kill the second young master, what I mean is not related to this." ”
Wu Xuan showed a slightly playful smile and said: "You didn't kill it, and this matter has nothing to do with us, so who else can kill the second young master of your family, could it be that he committed suicide?"
The old man blushed and said, "No, no, the second young master, he didn't commit suicide, nor was he killed by our people in Washington." ”
"Then who do you say killed him?" Wu Xuan asked
"Yes, yes. In the face of Wu Xuan's unreasonable questioning, the old man was full of embarrassment, completely turned around by Wu Xuan, and couldn't say why.
At this time, Hua Yan was dressed in white, wearing a white scarf on his head, and ran out of the lobby to greet Wu Xuan and the four of them with a sad face.
"Welcome to a few seniors, this is my third uncle, named Hua Xun, I was naturally a little sad to learn that Hua Yuan died, and I talked nonsense, and asked a few seniors to understand. ”
Wu Xuan said to Hua Yan with a disgusted face: "Don't put on this grimace to show me, it's your Washington people who died and it's not me, or is it your Washington Mansion that entertains guests with this face?"
Hua Yan immediately put on an enthusiastic face and said: "A few seniors are embarrassed, it's the juniors who are rude, please sit down." After speaking, the four of them were brought to the chair on the right side of the lobby and sat down, from the inside to the outside, Yuan Xiong, Wu Xuan, Gu Ling, and Spirit. Four people. After taking their seats, the four of them drank tea by themselves, admiring the fake acting of everyone in Washington. Hua Yan kept shuttling among the four people, and entertained the four of them.
Wu Xuan patted Hua Yan's shoulder and said, "Xiao Yan, in this Washington mansion, you are still the most sensible and the most entertaining, and the others are kneeling there like a log, it's really boring." Don't worry, I will definitely attend your funeral in the future, but don't call me at your third uncle's funeral, I don't want to attend the funeral of someone who doesn't know how to be hospitable. Wu Xuan said it so loudly that almost everyone in Washington could hear it, everyone gritted their teeth, staring at the floor with their eyes, but no one dared to be angry. Everyone knows very well that everyone in Washington is not an opponent of the four of them, and everything can only be watched by the young master.
Hua Yan still talked and laughed with Wu Xuan and the four of them as if he had nothing to do, he knew very well what the four of them were invited to Washington for, before he achieved his goal, he would not be easily angry, in the face of the ridicule of people who were stronger than himself, Hua Yan was too experienced, the best way was not to be angry, ignore it, not to avoid it, and when they felt bored, they would naturally give up. Therefore, Hua Yan has never responded positively to Wu Xuan's ridicule, but introduced the basic situation of Washington to the four of them one by one. In the face of such hob meat, Wu Xuan knew that the agitation method was useless, so he simply gave up. Turning around, he asked, "Who is that guy who has been kneeling in front of the coffin with a blank face?"
Hua Yan said: "This is my father Hua'an. For some reason, Hua Yan didn't introduce much to his father. A simple mention of just two sentences leads the topic elsewhere.
Wu Xuan realized that this guy was actually the head of the family in Washington, but it was no wonder that there was too little news about Hua'an, everyone only knew that there were two celebrities in Washington, one was the pride of the sky and the other was a gentleman. And there is very little information about Hua An, the head of the family in Washington, and there is not even a specific statement about his strength and his appearance. Many people think that Hua'an is the head of the family on the surface, and the power of the actual family has long been in the hands of Hua Yan, he is just a puppet, an ordinary person who is useless, and Washington's achievements today depend on Hua Yan. However, there are still many doubts about this view, but Huayan is too dazzling, and Hua'an, as the head of the family, is too inconspicuous, everyone gradually forgets this person, and defaults to Huayan as the head of the family in Washington.
