I crossed the black line. I knew it was worth doing all this for my father, who did not have much happiness in his life. I knew that my death was approaching, so the bone plug with the dead man's hair would be mine.
"Okay, sit down and have a cup of tea. I like your filial piety and courage, but there is one thing you should think about. You are still young."
In fact, there is nothing to think about. Things are like this. What else can we do
"I've thought about it. Give me the bone plug that belonged to my father."
Ma San glanced at me and said it was the second one.
I went over and took it down from the door. Ma Sanda seemed a little strange and hesitated. I also had a hope in my heart, hoping that my filial piety could move Ma Sanda, but it didn't happen. He hated my father for taking Qiao'er away. This hatred could not be changed, although my father didn't know what had happened.
That day I left with this strange bone plug with a dead person's hair. The hair was half a meter long. It made me feel creepy and my hair stood up.
I went to He Dana's place and brought in the bone plug with the hair on it. He Dana suddenly rushed up and fell off his wheelchair to the ground.
"Did you move the bone plug at the door?"
I helped He Dana up and told him the situation. He Dana looked at me in amazement.
"You are a real man, I have recognized you as my godson for a reason."
"But godfather, I can't do anything for you."
"No, these are enough. If I die, it's my fate. This Ma San played too evil a trick. He has been preparing for revenge all his life, and now it begins. The thirteen wooden bowls failed, and this last move is fatal. I guess no one can escape it. I'm afraid I'm doomed, and I've accepted my fate."
In fact, I feel that things seem to be turning around. It always feels this way. People actually think so at the end, but the reality is cruel. It is completely real. It is what you think in your mind, but you just don’t want to admit it.
I don’t know when I will die, but I will die anyway. I understand that I want to stay alive, but I know that there is almost no hope.
I never expected that at this time, Yun Bai would tell me something, right in front of Han Xue.
She is ready to leave here and will not take Xiaozhe with her. I, grandma, will take care of him.
I think it's a good thing that she left. I'm happy, really. My father is happy too, and of course Hanxue is happy too.
She really left, but she gave me something. That thing looked familiar to me. I remembered that Master Yunzheng had also taken that thing. It was a jade thing, and it seemed to be more than just this one. It was old jade, mutton-fat jade. I knew it was valuable.
I didn't want it, but Yun Bai still let me take it.
I still go to work these days. People were burned to death. Death came, but it was only terrifying for a while. Now it is as calm as water. I didn't tell Han Xue.
Hanxue seemed to sense something and was always dazed while working, so I asked her to go to the office to rest.
When I came out, I seemed to think of something. I thought of the Fujia family. In the Fujia compound in Chixian County, Master Yunzheng took me to do a private job once. Master Yunzheng said that he was friends with the old man of the Fujia family for many years. We went there when the grandmother of the Fujia family died. I saw this kind of jade on a member of the Fujia family. It was a piece of jade that looked like a puppy, but I was not sure it was a puppy. It was this thing.
This is what Master Yunzheng was holding. Now I remember it. So why did Yunbai have it
My mind was a little confused. In fact, I felt uncomfortable with Yun Bai's behavior. I couldn't figure out the reason why Yun Bai betrayed me. I also figured out that the smell of death on me was just an excuse.
I don't want to think about those things anymore. I have to arrange my own affairs. I went to Hao Fei's house and had a last drink with Hao Fei's father. He left him some money. This is the best I can do. I will never forget the smell of the grass, just like I can never forget the days when I lay on the grass with Hao Fei, looking at the blue sky and the stars.
I drank a little too much that day, and when I got home, Xiaozhe looked at me from afar. I couldn't hug Xiaozhe. A child's thoughts were taught by his mother. As for what was said, I don't know, but I know that my son also wanted me to hug him, but I didn't dare. The hand I stretched out was hanging in the air. I could see the horrified look in Xiaozhe's eyes. It was a kind of inner fear, so I didn't dare to stretch out my arms again, because that would hurt him.
I accompanied my father to drink and took a leave of absence. I wanted to spend more time with my father and children in his last days.
When I talked about this with Han Xue, we were by the river. I felt worse and worse. It was a real feeling.
After listening to this, Han Xue was stunned for a long time, then she threw herself into my arms and cried non-stop.
"What will I do if you leave? Take me away, I beg you."
"Xiaoxue, you are still fine without me. I really have no choice, so I am like this, because this is cause and effect."
In fact, at that time I felt that there was nothing to say, so I kept my mouth shut. We sat by the river until dawn that day.
We went home. He Dana was at my house. He came so early. My father prepared wine and food. The look in He Dana's eyes told me that all was not well. He seemed to have no way to deal with this Ma Sanda.
Now I am a little confused. Yunbai, Ma San, I keep thinking about it. I am going to die soon. I can't close my eyes until I die if I don't figure out the matter of Yunbai.
He Dana came to drink, as if he was saying goodbye, and talked about some things from the past. I thought that was a farewell. Does He Dana really have no other solution
I sent He Dana home that day. The bone plug was still stuck in the door and he didn't let me in. When I got home that day, my father asked me if something happened because He Dana and I seemed a little abnormal.
I said no, it's quite normal.
I went to work, because I couldn't seem to leave there, and I was in the refining room with Han Xue, Han Xue said.
"If it really can't be changed, then I'll go with you."
"Don't talk nonsense. I will wait for you in another world. Life and death are just going to another world first. Since you have been given a life in this world, you should enjoy it and don't give up easily. If we are husband and wife, there will be two reincarnations. We can meet again and be husband and wife again."
In fact, I can't give Hanxue a wedding, which makes me a little angry. If I give Hanxue a wedding at this moment, it would be harming her.
No matter what, I cannot get married. If an unmarried person dies, it is a hidden crime, and the hidden crime will be punished in the underworld. I don't know what the punishment is. Yun Zheng only mentioned it but didn't explain it.
He said that getting married or divorced is the same as not getting married, and there will still be a hidden sin, otherwise there would be no such thing as a ghost marriage.
I didn’t expect that the next day, Ma San actually found me, which made me very unhappy.
"You are lucky, you just broke the bone plug, but you have to remember that someone you love will suffer a little."
I was stunned. What does this mean
"You don't understand? Then I'll tell you straight out. Han Xue tied a dead person's hair for you, and the bone plug was untied. You escaped this disaster by accident. I want to see your mother Bai Qiao. Where is her grave?"
He Dana once told me that I must not tell Ma San about my mother's grave because this man has an evil nature, and that's why he never found it.
"I don't know about that. My mother died when I was very young. I don't think I can help you with this matter."
Ma San cursed and left. I watched him leave and was stunned. How could this happen? Han Xue tied the dead man's hair and untied the bone plug. Is this a coincidence
I went to He Dana and told him about this. He told me that he had known about this method for a long time, but I thought it was too harmful and Han Xue would probably suffer a great deal. I wanted to find such a person to help me, but I didn't have one and there was no other way.
I didn't expect this to happen. When I went to Ma San's house, I saw that all the bone plugs behind the door were gone, that is, they had all been sent away.
"What are you doing here kid?"
"I think Hanxue shouldn't suffer for me."
"You two love each other, and you use love to break the shackles. You actually came up with this trick. It seems like you have someone with great experience to guide you."
"I don't know, but..."
"Don't say buts, buts. It's useless. There's nothing you can do about it once it's tied."
It was obvious that Ma San was very upset.
When I went out, Ma San was muttering.
"Raising such a son, what a fucking character, and finding a woman who is not afraid of death..."
Ma San seemed to have always been skeptical about this kind of family affection, or love, because a woman betrayed him and he had no children, so he found it difficult to understand family affection.
When I got home, Hanxue and Xiaozhe were playing, and my father was reading a book.
"Xiaoxue, come here, I want to tell you something."
I took Hanxue into the bedroom.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you tying a dead person's hair?"
I stared at Han Xue's long hair. I had always noticed that there was an extra strand of hair. Han Xue's hair was smooth and looked beautiful like a veil, but that strand of hair was straight and dull, and very conspicuous.
I tried to reach out my hand, but Han Xue dodged me.
"Don't touch it. This is my hair. It's growing on my scalp. I can't change it. It's painful, but I won't die. Then we can be together. I'm willing to pay anything for it."
I hugged Han Xue. That day, I could never figure out whether all the people alive in this world were seeking revenge or karma. It was like a river, flowing non-stop and never stopping.
I don't know what the punishment will be.
When I went to Ma San's house again, he actually let me into the room. He seemed to be in a better mood. I wanted to beg him to let Han Xue go.
He took me into the room. There were things stuck on the wall in the room. There were eleven pieces of things. They were on the wall opposite me. I couldn't see clearly. There was no light in the room and the window was very small. He turned on the light and I screamed. Then I leaned against the wall and didn't move. Ma San laughed weirdly, "Gagaga..." All my hairs stood on end. I'll prick your ancestors, this tune is trying to scare me to death.
On the wall was a whole piece of human face skin, pasted there.
"These are from eleven people. Some died early, some died late, and I gave them all face. They will go to another world without face. The punishment they will suffer is eternal. They don't need face. They don't have face..."
I came out to the yard, covered in cold sweat. It seemed that Ma Dasan was really crazy. This is what a crazy person looks like. In fact, in this world, once there are emotional problems, few people will be normal.
Ma San came out and I wanted to talk about that thing, but he actually said it.
"Have a drink with me and sit down."
The dishes cooked by Ma San are very delicate and delicious. It seems that he is a person who has an extreme love for life, but he is driven crazy by life.
When we were drinking, I mentioned the matter of the dead person's hair and he glared at me.
"Ke Zuo, don't think about it. It's impossible. You're lucky to be alive. You're really lucky. You're a man. You died for your father, and Han Xue was punished for you. Your father had a good son, and you have a good woman. Why don't I have one? Why don't I have a good woman? Then Bai Qiao would be strange. Why didn't she just follow me? I never understood..."
Ma Sanda has been entangled in this matter all his life and has never tried to break free from it, forcing himself into this state.
"I wonder if I could..."
"no."
"Then tell me what the punishment will be?"
"I won't tell you. This is what I call excitement, the final excitement. Now I am waiting for He Dana's face. That is really cool. If there is no He Dana, this kind of thing will not happen. Then Bai Qiao will be my wife, I will not be without children, and I will not be alone all my life."
Ma San was drunk, so I helped him into the house, left his house, and went to He Dana's place. He Dana was sitting by the pool in a daze.
"Godfather."
"You're here?"
I sat next to him.
"Godfather, is there really nothing you can do?"
"No, then shall I take your place?"
"No, you've already done it once. Ma San will never let you take his place again. He let you go because you are Bai Qiao's son and he loves Bai Qiao. Otherwise, do you think he would let you go? Did he give you such a chance? I didn't. It seems that I can only wait to die."
He Dana suddenly stood up, which scared me. He stretched his legs and walked out of the door. When I wanted to go over, he came back. The hair on the bone plug fluttered in the wind. It should be the hair of a young woman, long and straight black.
"Godfather?"
"There's no other way. You stay here today. I'm going to go into one of the eighteen rooms. Remember, don't let anyone in."
He Dana took the bone plug and entered a room, which was the place I wanted to enter but couldn't.
When He Dana went in, I stood at the door. There was no sound from inside, not a single sound. Could it be that today was the day He Dana would die? I did not see any trace of He Dana, nor did I see any other signs of his death.
This is a strange thing. Some time ago, I found that my shadow began to fade. The cold snow replaced me, and my body began to return to normal.
I heard a knock on the door outside. It was really a ghost knocking. It kept knocking. I walked over slowly and looked outside the door. I was shocked. It was actually Ma San. He was here. He was drunk. How could this happen
I opened the door and stopped there.
"Master Ma, what can I do for you?"
"He Dana has a bone plug, so I have to come."
Ma San shook his head. He actually knew all these things at home. It seemed that something bad was going to happen. (To be continued)
