After the knife was cut, a small red dress was found on the ground. It was red, a bright red color. It should be what a bride wears. How could this happen? I don't understand. I don't understand.
He Dana seemed to have no idea what was going to happen.
"Don't touch the red dress. There's some wood over there. Build a bonfire. We haven't done that in a long time."
I don't know what made He Dana come here today, but the problem was solved. The red dress placed there did make me feel uneasy. Zhao Shan was also dazed. He was scared. For him, encountering such a thing was incomprehensible.
Zhao Shan didn't believe in ghosts, just like me when I first came to the crematorium. He didn't think about ghosts at all. There were no ghosts in the world. When people died, they were just a handful of ashes, buried and scattered, and they no longer existed.
The bonfire was lit, and it really created a different effect in this yard.
"Throw that dress in there."
I hesitated for a moment, picked it up and threw it in, and it was burned. The moment I threw it in, I heard a howl. Zhao Shan jumped up and wanted to run, but he held back.
The howling lasted for about five or six minutes before it stopped, and the red clothes disappeared.
"Xiao Zuo, you shouldn't be so nervous. If you don't want to explain this, you will understand it yourself. Zhao Shan is your apprentice. Since he is your apprentice, you have to be careful. Once a teacher, you are a father for life. You have to understand this principle."
I don't say anything, I know this, so I didn't want to accept Zhao Shan as my apprentice at first, and it was for this reason. It's too stressful. When newcomers arrive at the crematorium, they don't believe anything the master says at first, and sometimes they don't even follow it. They think it's a lie and don't believe it at all.
For things like this, you have to experience them gradually, and sometimes teaching is useless.
After this incident, Mu Qing actually suggested to me that we go to Bone Village again. I got angry with her last time, and she actually mentioned it again. I asked her what she meant.
Mu Qing hesitated for a long time and then told me.
"I approached you for a purpose. I'm really sorry, but now I realize that I have fallen in love with you."
Actually, I was quite angry, but I didn't show it.
"Go on."
I drank and looked out the window. At this time, only Mu Qing was with me. No matter what the reason was, she looked like Hao Fei, and I could forgive her.
"I lost something. It was passed down from my father, or from my ancestors. But nothing else matters. What matters is that it is the only thing my father left me. He left it to me at the very end. He told me not to lose it, but I lost it. I am really sorry to my father. I was young at that time, and I acted rebellious. My father always forgave me. Everything he did was for me, to give me the best, but I didn't understand. Only after he died of illness did I understand. Losing that thing is not like losing my father. I can't accept it."
"I can see a psychiatrist. Everyone will die. That's not the problem. Things are meant to be lost. It's a matter of time. Just like life, it will end sooner or later."
"No, I can't accept that."
"What is that?"
Mu Qing didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to tell me.
"Let me think about this again."
In fact, I still want to go to the Bone Village and find a way to crack the hook technique. Yun Bai has always been my pain, and I have not been able to get rid of it for so many years. I don’t understand the reason.
The rich family has fallen, but the eldest of the rich family is still as arrogant as ever. This is very uncomfortable for me. Xiaozhe is still in the rich family. I want to take him back, but I think it is better for him to stay with his mother. What can I give him? I am a refiner. Problems may arise at any time. Maybe there will be no tomorrow. Master Yunzheng told me this in the second year of my work. There are not many refiners who live long here. Many of them are accidents, but no one has ever mentioned it. Speaking of it, it seems like this is a cliff. Anyone standing on the edge is afraid.
This is why I didn’t take Xiaozhe back.
That day, I went to stay at Hao Fei's house. Mu Qing looked so much like Xiao Fei that I had an illusion. Could it be Xiao Fei's reincarnation? No way. Even if Xiao Fei was reincarnated, he wouldn't be that old.
As for the current marriages of old wives and young husbands, or young wives and old husbands, I can understand this. It is because the marriage destiny from the previous life has not been fulfilled. It will take a few years or even more than ten years to repay the debt. When it is repaid, the marriage will end and the couple will leave. This is all normal.
I don’t know how many years Yunbai and I will be husband and wife. Maybe yes, maybe not. But I will try my best. I don’t want to wait for another marriage in the next life.
This is what is called Qi. Qi is the basis of human life. So what about ghosts? Life is the basis of their life.
I told He Dana that I was going to Bone Village, but he didn't say anything. It seemed that he knew and couldn't stop me.
A week later, Mu Qing and I went to the Bone Village again. She was still taking pictures, not looking for anything.
“You won’t find anything this way.”
Mu Qing put down the camera and said.
"That thing cannot be seen, but sometimes it appears in the camera."
I'm unhappy, are you playing a riddle with me
Mu Qing was unhappy when he saw me coming.
"That's not what I meant. That thing was indeed like that. I could see it originally, but then I put it in the room and couldn't see it anymore. I panicked and searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I took a photo and saw it in the room. It was in the original place, but I couldn't touch it."
I stared at Mu Qing. It was meaningless to tell ghost stories in Bone Village at this moment, and I was facing a makeup artist. Would it be fun? Would it be interesting? Would I be scared
I stood up, walked outside the house and sat on the stone platform, looking at the beautiful scenery of Bone Village. How I hope that one day, my loved one and I can sit here and Bone Village can become a beautiful village, a normal village. But I don’t think it’s possible. This is a thousand-year-old village and it has always been like this. No one can change it. The only thing that has not changed is the weirdness and beauty of Bone Village.
Te Qing sat next to me and said.
"My father is a university professor. I am a university lecturer and will become a professor one day because my father worked in that university. His figure can be seen on the basketball court, his breath can be heard on the podium, and his laughter can be heard in the cafeteria..."
I was touched by Mu Qing’s words. I had never expected this to happen.
"Actually, I understand you, but you have to tell me what that thing is, otherwise how can we find it?"
"You've been looking for something since you came to Bone Village, just like me, but you haven't found it yet."
"Yes, that's right. I did say that, but I didn't tell you what I was looking for, because even if I told you you wouldn't understand. That's something that's learned from the Yin School."
"In fact, what I'm looking for also confuses me. I've always wanted to find someone to ask, what exactly is that thing? Why can't I see it? It's still in the original place, and how did it disappear later? I don't know."
"Then how do you know it's in Bone Village?"
"I had this dream for thirteen consecutive days. It was about the Bone Village. I kept walking. I kept walking until I reached the end of the road. I kept walking. After thirteen days, I came to a place, but I never found it. I never saw that place. I took pictures because I wanted to find the place I dreamed of."
I didn't say anything. It seemed that everything that happened was too weird.
"Maybe it was just a dream. Dreams don't mean anything."
“I believe that was my father’s guidance.”
In fact, there is a theory about dream interpretation in Yin studies. He Dana told me about it, but he always told me that after he died, I could read his diary, but I always felt that I would not be able to outlive this old bastard. Sometimes he had better physical strength and more spirit than me.
Mu Qing still didn't tell me what that thing was.
Actually, I don't know what I'm looking for. What is the solution to the hook technique? Can anyone give me some guidance? But there is nothing. This is what makes me suffer. He Dana keeps asking me to give up and let it go, but I just can't let it go. So what
That day, in the middle of the night, Mu Qing fell asleep and I went out alone again. The night in Gu Village was beautiful under the moonlight, just like a girl in gauze, so beautiful that it would suffocate you.
I entered a ditch and saw Xiaoying. She was standing at the entrance of the ditch looking at me.
"Xiaoying?"
"Did you bring me food? You were always the one who brought me food when I was in school."
At that time, my family was not well off, and Xiaoying always brought me food, I remember this.
"Yes, it's in the house over there."
"I'll go with you to get it. Did you bring that woman here again? I don't like that woman. You should know that I like you, but you are always so cold and don't like me."
"No, you were a good student at that time, and I felt I was not worthy of you."
When Xiaoying heard this, she squatted down and cried.
"I always thought you didn't love me."
In fact, I really liked Xiaoying, because at that time, everyone knew that Xiaoying was the only student in the school who could be admitted to Tsinghua University, while I could only get into an ordinary first-tier university, or even a second-tier university, which was something out of reach. Xiaoying didn't like to talk, and I didn't know what she was thinking, so everyone said she was arrogant. I thought so too, and even thought she looked down on me.
I held Xiaoying's hand. It was cold, but not like a dead person's. She was indeed a living person.
I took her into the room and took out the things in the bag, including the wine.
"I want to stop drinking. I've never drunk before. I'm very honest and I haven't done many things. You guys go out to drink, and there are girls. I want to drink too, but I don't dare. I'm afraid."
"Drink it, it's okay, I'll protect you when you're drunk."
When I was in school, because Xiaoying always gave me food and she was honest, if there were men who bullied her, I would stand up and fight with them. This was the only thing I could do for her, so I said I would protect her, and she trusted me.
Xiaoying was really drunk that day and fell asleep on my legs. I didn't move and sat there all night. When I woke up in the morning, Xiaoying had run away.
Mu Qing got up and saw the mess, but she didn't say anything. She didn't notice Xiaoying's arrival last night. (To be continued)
