Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mourning Hall Prepared in Advance
It turned out to be Wang Manyu! She was sitting on the edge of the bed flipping through a magazine.
My first instinct was to rub my eyes vigorously, could it be that I was drunk?
After confirming that it was her in the house, I was both surprised and frightened, hesitated, and knocked lightly on the door.
Hearing the sound, Wang Manyu turned his head to look at the door, and then stood up.
"You...... You're back? As soon as he opened his mouth, his face turned red at the same time.
My heart was pounding, so I had to bite the bullet and walk in.
It's funny to say, this is going back to his dormitory, but he is nervous like Lin Daiyu who has just entered the Grand View Garden.
"Why did you come to my dormitory?"
Before I spoke, I consciously slowed down my speech, trying to hide the panic in my heart, but when I opened my mouth, I still said the wrong thing, saying "Why do you come to my bed".
The atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward.
"Have you forgotten that I came to the transition factory with Captain Zhang before! I asked your colleague again just now, and I found it, and I saw that the door was not locked, so I ......"
Seeing Wang Manyu's shyness, the tight string in my heart was loosened, and it seemed that the devil brother in her body did not control her at this time.
"You're coming for me?"
"Or else!"
She stared at me with a red face, smiling rather than smiling, and I was a little overwhelmed to see what to do.
"Quite unexpected!"
"Call you, you're off! As soon as I was in a hurry, I drove to the ferry factory. ”
Maybe it's the wine! I was a little confused, you must know that at about four o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the guard room to drink with Lao Wu, and there was a car into the hospital, why didn't I hear it!
On second thought, maybe both of them were too involved when they talked about it at the time.
"I'm sorry, I ...... I was at an old colleague's house just now! ”
As I spoke, I cleaned up the clutter on the bed and on the table in front of the bed.
Put away a few adult magazines first, and then change out of underwear that hasn't been washed.
"The dormitory conditions are poor, I'm single again, and I don't even have hot water!"
Wang Manyu smiled: "This time I'm not looking for you to ask for water." ”
I laughed too! The awkward atmosphere suddenly vanished.
"Then you must have something to do with me!"
"Hmmm! I want you to do me a favor. ”
"Looking for my help? How can it help? ”
"My parents may have messed with dirty things, and before my sister had an accident, I thought they were weird, and they locked up a house where they stored miscellaneous items, and told me and my sister that no one could enter this house."
I don't think so, it's nothing to lock your own room, after all, my daughter is older, and there is always a little secret between husband and wife.
Wang Manyu continued: "A month ago, I found out that they seemed to be secretly preparing something behind our backs, once they put a black leather bag into that room, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, found that the room was light, I couldn't help but be curious, so I walked over and found that the big lock was just hanging on the door. ”
"Oh!" I was also drawn to her storytelling.
"After making sure that my parents were asleep, I gritted my teeth and opened the door, which scared me so much that I peed my pants on the spot."
Speaking of this, Wang Manyu's face turned red again.
"What do you see!" I hurried.
"The utility room has become a mourning hall, and the two large white candles on the offering table alone are emitted, and there are black and white photographs hanging on the wall behind the offering table...... It's a picture of my sister! ”
I could clearly hear that Wang Manyu was very excited at this time, his voice was a little higher than just now, and his chest trembled with the rhythm of speaking.
I was stunned for a moment.
Wang Manli has only been dead for five days, how could his parents have set up a mourning hall for her a month ago!
"I saw the black box, and even though I was too scared to walk, I opened it — guess what I saw?"
"What?"
"A black cheongsam - that's a dress for the dead, it's a shroud!"
I was completely stunned, staring at Wang Manyu's eyes for three seconds, and only after making sure she wasn't joking, did I gasp.
"How could this happen!"
"It's not over yet!" Wang Manyujiao gasped and continued, "On the day of my sister's accident, our family of three went to identify the body, and my parents had almost no emotional changes throughout the whole process, giving me the feeling that they had known that my sister would die, and when they got home, they immediately removed the mourning hall, and put all the things in the mourning hall in a few boxes, and waited until after twelve o'clock that night, pulled them to the edge of the Yellow River and burned them, and threw the residue into the river. ”
"You...... Are you sneaking on a track? ”
"Hmm!" Wang Manyu nodded, "That night, I secretly followed them to the edge of the Yellow River, and saw my parents squatting on the river beach, carrying paper horses and paper carts with willow sticks, as well as shrouds, and howling and crying while burning them. ”
"Then you didn't ask them why they did it?"
Wang Manyu shook his head: "Since the summer of my sophomore year of high school, I obviously feel that there is an invisible wall between me and my parents, although they are still as good as before, but from that time on, they feel strange to me." ”
I was so shocked that I couldn't digest what Wang Manyu said for a while.
More than a minute of silence followed.
"How can I help you?" Seeing that her eyes were red, I plucked up the courage to ask.
"I can feel that you're not an ordinary person!" Wang Manyu first buttoned a big hat for me, "Come to think of it, maybe among the people I know, only you can help me - are you willing?" ”
I was so excited that I didn't even think about it: "Of course I do!" ”
"Thank you in advance!" As he spoke, he held out his left hand to me.
Looking at her onion-like jade hands, I could feel my face burning, and instinctively wiped my hands on my pants a few times before reaching out.
Her hands were weak and boneless, and I was even worried that I would break her if I tried too hard.
"You're eating?"
"Not yet!"
At this moment, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and in less than half a minute, there was another crackling rain.
"Look at this day......" Seeing the sudden lightning and thunder outside, I was a little happy, "I only have instant noodles and ham sausages here, or will you eat some?" ”
"Really! That...... That's great! ”
Carefully help her make instant noodles, and then sit opposite her to chat with her, I tentatively mentioned the strange things she experienced when she was a child, and the brain CT scan, Wang Manyu almost didn't know anything, and I could see from her eyes that she was not lying.
Probably she didn't know that she had a brother herself, and it was in her body at this time.
The heavy rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is blowing, and those who live on the edge of the Yellow River know that the Yellow River embankment is very dangerous after the heavy rain, one is the road is slippery, and the other is that it may collapse at any time.
Maybe Wang Manyu also thought of this, eating instant noodles, his face slowly turned red.
"Look at the rain so hard! Or will you spend the night in my dormitory tonight, and I'll go to my colleague's dormitory to deal with it? ”
Wang Manyu lowered his head suddenly, and his voice was like a mosquito calling.
"No, I don't. Squeeze it! The rain was so heavy that you had to get wet even if you had an umbrella. ”
