When I was in a daze, the refining furnace suddenly started to ring, and the sound was so piercing that it hurt my ears.
I immediately ran outside, and when I was far away, I watched.
The refining furnace was actually emitting smoke. I stared at it in confusion. What on earth was going on
I could tell that the smoke was from burning people. It was completely different from other smoke. It was really strange. Was it an illusion? Or was it real? I had no idea.
I left here and walked out of the village, because everything here was beyond my expectations, I couldn't explain this phenomenon, I couldn't understand this phenomenon, so I had to leave here.
However, I was lost. These 81 roads that led to nowhere actually made me lost. I knew that I was not lost. Although the 81 roads in Bone Village were crisscrossed, they followed a regular pattern and it was impossible for me to get lost.
I was lost, a little ghost was lost, but I couldn't see the ghost, that was the strange thing, I went into a room, because I knew that I couldn't leave today, I could only wait until morning.
I entered the room, and the strangest thing about the room was that there were two doors facing each other. There were two rooms, and if the doors were facing each other, someone would die. This is what Yin studies say, and it is also what He Dana told me. It is also a bad omen in Feng Shui.
I hesitated about which door to open. The left door was for ghosts and unclean things, so I opened the door on the right. If I had no choice, I would move the things on the left. It was the same in the crematorium.
I opened the right side and looked inside. It was my daughter's bed. This was the boudoir. I went in. In addition to the bed, there were also some makeup items. I didn't find anything else special, so I locked the door.
I lit a cigarette and thought, I'm lost, what's wrong? Is the smoke from the refinery really burning people to death
What I want to know most is this refining furnace, or rather, what the refiners hundreds of years ago were doing, or what diaries they left behind, which would be of great benefit to the study of Yin.
I also became interested in Yin studies. It was mentioned many times in my father's diary, but there were no detailed contents. He Dana wrote many diaries on Yin studies, maybe several notebooks, but he said that they would be mine after he died.
When I fell asleep, I heard a sound, a sound that I could not get rid of.
It was Zhang Xiaoxue's cry again. I didn't understand why it happened. Was Zhang Xiaoxue in the Bone Village? Was she in the Bone Village when she died? No, it was impossible.
Some people in Bone Village also call it an Imitation Village. Some things that happened there seemed to be imitating some things that are happening now. This is just a guess by experts. Whether it is true or not cannot be confirmed now.
I sat up and smoked a cigarette. The crying sound was in the room across the street. Should I go? What would happen if I went
I looked at the amber necklace and shook my head.
I still stood up because I couldn't stand Zhang Xiaoxue's crying. I felt uncomfortable when she cried.
That door can actually be pushed inwards, and the door opposite it can be pulled outwards. This is the Yin-Yang door, which is even more evil. Pulling is Yang and pushing is Yin. Most doors open outwards and are only pushed inwards when there is no other way.
I still pushed the door open and didn't go in. I listened to the sounds and found that Zhang Xiaoxue's crying had stopped. I waited, but there was still no movement.
I felt there was someone inside, a feeling, not sure.
I turned on the flashlight and shone it inside. This should be a man's room. What I could see was a table with old tea sets on it.
I went in, and when I got in, I was shocked and then I stared with my eyes wide open.
A man sitting on the kang looked at me. He was indeed alone.
"Who are you?"
I asked first, I had to ask.
He said something I didn't understand.
"What?"
He repeated himself, and I was sure he was repeating himself, but I still didn't understand him. I knew it might be some minority language that I had never heard before.
"I don't understand."
The man stood up immediately and started swinging the knife. I didn't even know where the knife was.
A knife was swung towards me, and only then did I see clearly that the clothes were those worn by the Jurchens.
“Oh my god!”
I couldn't beat him at knife point, so I ran away, throwing away my bag. He chased me and I just ran around and finally ended up in an alley. There were no alleys in Bone Village, so I just ran around. But there actually were alleys. I was stunned. The man actually laughed, pointed at the badge on my neck, gestured, threw away the knife, and left.
I looked at it in shock, and it took me a long time to recover. I followed the man and I understood what he meant. He threw away the knife because of the sign.
I followed him back to the room, and he actually prepared wine and food. I thought to myself, are you a human or a ghost? Are you kidding me
I didn't see any ghosts in the Bone Village, so it must be people? Descendants of the Jurchens? That's possible, but are there still living people in the Bone Village
We had problems communicating. I couldn't understand what I was saying and it was so tiring to use gestures.
Finally I understood. He told me that if you enter the village without this sign, you will be burned or stabbed to death with a Jurchen awl. Historically, the Jurchens preferred to use arrows, but they actually switched to awls.
This guy waved the awl at me a few times. I shivered with fear and he started laughing again.
The awl was half a meter long. If it pierced someone's heart, it would be chilling. There was no doubt that the person would die.
This kid got me drunk and I fell down. When I refused to drink, he gestured at me with an awl in his hand, saying, "Damn it, I've seen a ghost today." I asked him about the crying sound and gestured, but he just played dumb. I could tell he was playing dumb.
I passed out from drinking. When I woke up in the morning, I was outside the Bone Village. I peed right away. Was everything that happened yesterday real? There was no one alive in the Bone Village, that was for sure.
I got up and went to He Dana, hoping that this uncle could give me some advice.
When I told him this, he looked at me blankly.
"Anyone?"
He looked at me suspiciously, and I told him in detail.
"I've been to Bone Village, but I've never seen any people there, let alone any Jurchens. But the language you learned does sound a bit like the language used by the Jurchens."
"You understand?"
"I understand, but only a little. As for the Jurchen language, we still need to find an expert. I know an expert in this area, but does the person you mentioned really exist?"
When He Dana said this, I felt a little sad and even suspected that I was dreaming or seeing a ghost.
"I'm not sure, but it is true. It really exists and is really happening. There is no problem at all. But could it be an illusion? A ghostly illusion?"
"That's possible. No one can explain the strangeness of the Bone Village. Now experts don't go to study the Bone Village. There are real dead people there, but why is still a mystery."
He Dana now keeps his distance from Bone Village. It seems that a lot of things have happened.
“I want to go again, record it, and then come back and play it for the experts to listen to.”
"That's a solution. Maybe it can work. It's a breakthrough. If that's the case, it would be great. Of course, I also hope to get something."
I didn't expect that He Dana agreed with my idea.
"I don't want to say anything more about you and the Fu family. I think I must make the Fu family unlucky."
When I suddenly mentioned this, He Dana was also stunned.
"You should let it go. You can't control Yun Bai and the Fu family. That's a matter of the past. Of course, she won't harm her own son, but you shouldn't get involved."
"I think it should be a hook technique."
"So what? Everything is in the past. What else do you want? Everything is in the past. Is there any point in fussing about it again?"
"No, I won't let go. My father's death has something to do with them."
"I don't deny this. When your father died, he asked me to take care of you, but Yun Bai disagreed, so she took care of you. Those days were pretty good, but also pretty hard. But you have to remember that your father wouldn't let you do this. Let me tell you, the past is the past."
In fact, I can't get over it, I can't get over it in my heart, Yun Bai, why did you do this? No matter what happened, you can't let my father suffer for his whole life.
I left He Dana's house and went home. Liu Yang didn't come and I didn't know what he was busy with during these days.
I seem to have gotten used to the loneliness at home, and also got used to being alone.
I went to work in the morning and sat in the office smoking, thinking about the things in Gucun and Fujia.
The young master of a rich family has come, and I don’t know why he wants to see me.
He sat down and lit a cigarette. I wanted to strangle this guy to death, but I wouldn't do that. I would make him suffer slowly.
"I'm here to warn you. Don't play any tricks on me again. I sent my own brother to a mental hospital. Without my signature, he will never be able to get out in this lifetime."
"Then let's go and see."
The rich young master left without saying anything else. It seemed that he had warned me and was also afraid.
I know that I can never let go of this hatred. I absolutely cannot let go of it.
Li Xiaohuan came in and asked me if I wanted to put on makeup. I shook my head and said I was not in the mood.
Li Xiaohuan saw that I was unhappy and left without saying anything more.
I went to Fu's house in the afternoon. There was no one there. I climbed in through the wall. It was still the same place. I took away the photo of Yun Bai hanging on the wall and threw it into the river. This photo will always be in my heart. Even if I threw it away, it will still be like hanging on the wall. I know that what I changed was the disappearance of a physical object. In fact, I did not change the psychological disappearance.
Where is the property of the Fu family? I don't know, I think I should be able to find it, but Yun Bai has been in the Fu family, and now that I know about it, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything anymore.
I met Yunbai, who was having dinner with a rich young man. I went in and called Yunbai out.
"If I feel I am worthy of my father, you will stay with this man like this."
"This is already our business, don't get involved. What's more, your father has been dead for so many years. I advise you to leave the crematorium. You went to the crematorium for your father. After all these years, it's enough."
"Not enough. I will stay in the crematorium for the rest of my life like my father. No matter what happens, I will not leave. Remember, I will not let you and the rich young master go. I advise you to stop playing with the Yin magic. If you mess around, you will not end up well."
I left after I finished speaking, and my mother Yun Bai stared at me in a daze as I walked away.
I went to He Dana's place, and it seemed that only there could I feel at ease. He was my father's godfather and my godgrandfather.
He Dana was drinking with me, and I told him that I would go to Bone Village tomorrow. He thought about it and said.
"I think it doesn't matter whether you go or not. Bone Village is too weird. I think you should not go. Marry Liu Yang as soon as possible and have a child."
He Dana finally let things go. He had been pursuing Yin studies all his life, but no one acknowledged him and he did not make some of his things public. He said that they were not mature enough and the time had not come yet, so he could only harm others.
So, was his life a failure? I don't know, maybe it was a failure, I can't think of it, He Dana was very calm.
I went to the Bone Village again, holding a recorder, and I really met the Jurchen again. He asked me to drink again, and I got drunk again. Then he laughed, and our communication seemed to be closer. When I woke up that day, I was still outside the village. I suddenly had an illusion that I was sleepwalking. I had had this experience since I was a child, and I was probably doing it again now, so I could remember what happened, which made me a little confused.
I felt the crack, and not just once.
I went to He Dana's place, he looked at me, I played the recording for him, and he listened for a long time and said.
"If it is a Jurchen woman, and if the sound can be recorded, it means that this person really exists. In other words, there are Jurchen women in Bone Village, and I suspect he is not the only one."
He Dana's words surprised me. I have always believed that the person did not really exist, or was just some illusion created by the Bone Village. But it turned out not to be the case. He Dana said this, and I also know that ghosts or recordings of illusions will not work. (To be continued)
