Chapter 9: Shadows on the Wall
The clothes were almost dry, and the rain outside had stopped.
Master Wang brought a bowl of water and said:
"Drink this bowl of water and go home, as long as you don't come near your sister again, she will be fine in two days."
I took the bowl of water and drank it down, it was mixed with something gray and black, and it looked like ash from burning paper.
"By the way, when you go back, light this kerosene lamp in the farthest corner of your room from your bed, and then recite your sister's name until the light goes out."
I took the things handed over by Master Wang, stood up and said:
"Master Wang, thank you."
I don't want to ask him what the reason is, he will definitely tell me what he should say, and I don't have to ask if he doesn't say it.
I was depressed, and I thought to myself that I hoped that the wizard could really help me.
took out all the money on his body and handed it to Master Wang, in fact, it was only about 100 yuan, and the rest of the money was put in the back white.
He smiled, stuffed it in his pocket without refusing, and instructed me in one last sentence:
"Master Wizard has a bit of a strange temper, but as long as you are sincere, I should be able to help you."
I nodded and thanked Master Wang again and opened the door of his house.
The cold wind poured into the hall violently, and the paper people on both sides of the room rattled in unison, as if they were giving me a farewell party.
I suddenly had a very strange feeling in my heart, I felt that those paper figures of different shapes were very cute, they were expressing their most sincere blessings to me, they were telling me that no matter how dark the road ahead was, I must move forward bravely.
I took a deep breath, walked a few quick steps to my grandmother's grave, and bowed deeply to my grandmother's grave.
I don't ask her to bless me with anything, I just hope that it will not be as tired as it was when it was alive.
Because at this moment, I completely believe that there are not only people in this world, I have only heard that people die like lights go out, but in fact, people are really like lights out after death?
Maybe the light will come back on again in another world.
There was also wind, rain, and people who lit and turned off the lights.
The white-clothed geist I had just seen was gone.
Since it is a geist, it should have its own way to catch up, and it is the only one on this road.
I'm afraid I don't know if my presence will cause any damage or impact on it.
In fact, in a way, I am the same as it, and the next part of the road is also walked alone, and I know that this road is very short, so short that I don't even know how long it is.
I ran all the way home and saw that my father had already sent Dr. Li away at the door, and from my father's demeanor, the situation should be fine.
My dad saw that I had just come back and hurriedly asked me why it had taken me so long.
I said, "Master Wang said that Mu Xue would be fine, but I couldn't get close to her, how is Mu Xue now?" ”
My dad nodded and said:
"Well, then you can leave tomorrow, Mu Xue is better now, and Dr. Li has given two injections."
I nodded, and went into my room with the kerosene and oil lamp that Master Wang had given me.
Growing up, my dad and I didn't talk much, maybe because of the silence between men, maybe the daughter was my father's lover in his previous life.
My dad is very fond of Mu Xue, but he is very cold to me.
I don't care about these things because my mom loves me a lot.
As soon as the front foot stepped into my bedroom, my mother followed me with the back foot, and she said:
"Morning, have you gone to find that Master Wang? What did he say? ”
I put my things on the table and said to my mother:
"Mom, Master Wang said that my sister and I were very bad, and said that we couldn't stay together, otherwise something would happen to my sister."
My mother's face sank after hearing this: "Don't listen to his nonsense. ”
Mom's tone was not as firm as before, maybe she had already believed that there was such a thing, but she didn't want to accept it.
My mother knew that I loved my sister, so in her heart, she didn't want my sister and I to see each other again.
But so many things have happened, and these things seem to have reached the point where you can believe even if you don't believe it.
Setting up the kerosene lamp, I poured a little kerosene into it, and said as I played with the wick:
"Mom, in fact, I think what Master Wang said has some truth, my sister has had an accident in the past few years, and every time it is related to me, she is fine when I am not there. How can there be such a coincidence in this world, but Master Wang recommended a master to me, and he said that the master can change his life, let me go to him to see, so I plan to go back to Guangzhou tomorrow and find the master. ”
"Then how did Master Wang know the master in Guangzhou?"
Mom looked very puzzled, because this Master Wang had never even been out of the door.
"That master's surname is Wu, he used to be from the county next door, and then he went to Guangdong, as for whether he is in Guangzhou, I don't know, but I have his phone number."
Mom nodded, oh and said:
"Alas, it's not early, let's go downstairs and eat some food and rest early."
I nodded, didn't light the kerosene lamp, and went downstairs to eat first.
After eating, I took a quick shower and went back to my room, and when I opened the door, I looked at my parents' bedroom opposite, feeling sad.
There were the people I wanted to see the most, but I couldn't get in.
If things don't turn around, maybe I won't see her again in my life.
This feeling is very uncomfortable, and I wonder if God is really blind.
When I entered the room, I quickly lit the kerosene lamp and placed it in the corner opposite the bed, and after lighting it, I squatted down in front of the kerosene lamp, and kept reading carefully:
"Mu Xue. Mu Xue. Mu Xue ......"
After reading for a few minutes, the candle flame on the wick suddenly shook from side to side, at first very slowly, and gradually, the candle flame shook more and more, and I could even vaguely hear Mu Xue calling me:
"Brother... Brother..."
The sound sounded in my ears, but it felt like it came from the sky, it was a very ethereal sound, which seemed to echo throughout the room, the village, and even the world.
As I read my sister's name, I slowly stood up, my head turning around to find the source of the sound, but I couldn't find it.
When I looked back at the kerosene lamp, I suddenly saw a shadow looming on the white wall to the left of the kerosene lamp.
I couldn't see the face of the shadow clearly, but from the posture, this was definitely Mu Xue.
My breathing began to become rapid, could this really be Mu Xue's soul?
But why is it here?
I didn't dare touch it again, just stared at the white wall.
After a while, Mu Xue's voice disappeared, and the shadow on the wall suddenly disappeared, and then the kerosene lamp was also extinguished.
Only a wisp of green smoke hung on the wick, slowly dissipating.
I couldn't understand why the kerosene lamp went out so abruptly, and Master Wang also told me to read my sister's name until the light went out.
I thought it would be extinguished when the kerosene ran out, but who knew it would be extinguished in this form?
The shadow of Mu Xue on the wall clearly knew me, and kept calling my brother, but this suddenly disappeared, did you go back to Mu Xue's body?
I wish that this was the case, but I was still not at ease, so I walked out of the bedroom door and found my mother, who was still washing dishes below, and asked:
"Mom, you go and see if Mu Xue is awake, if she does, don't tell her I'm back."
Mom wiped her hands on her apron and said okay.
I followed my mother, silent, praying in my heart that nothing would go wrong.
Watching my mom enter the bedroom, I didn't go in, but stood outside the door trying not to let my mom see it.
"Mom, I seem to see my brother, is my brother back?"
Mu Xue's voice sounded, and she seemed to be very weak.
Mom sighed a little and said, "Xue, my brother didn't come back, you may be dreaming, after a while, my mother will take you to Guangzhou to find my brother, okay?" ”
"But I saw my brother lighting the lamp in the room, and I called him, but he ignored me. Mom, I miss my brother so much. ”
Mu Xue looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.
Mom hurriedly comforted:
"No, no, Xue'er must be dreaming, it's okay, we'll call my brother tomorrow."
Seeing her mother promise her, Mu Xue stopped the sound of being about to cry, and said happily:
"Okay, Mom, that's what you said, I'm going to talk to my brother tomorrow."
Mom said, "Uh-huh, Xue'er go to sleep, we'll call my brother tomorrow at noon." ”
I was shocked, the shadow on the wall just now was really Mu Xue's soul......
