The rain still didn't stop.
Ayane still recalled the look in that girl's eyes.
After she knew that her surname was Xiahou, she obviously felt great fear. And this feeling of dread... what does it mean
What she is afraid of...is it Minshan's family named Xiahou
After lying on the bed for a long time, she sat up. Then, he walked towards the door.
When she opened the door and was about to go to the outside room to have a look, she saw that the old lady was actually standing at the door!
"you you… "
Xuanyin was so frightened that she almost cried out!
The old lady just stood motionless at the door, like a sculpture, and every wrinkle on her face was like a knife carving, which looked so scary.
Therefore, Ayane took several steps back!
"Where are you going?"
The old lady said these words in a cold mechanical tone.
"me… "
Xuanyin didn't dare to say a word.
"When the rain stops, I will personally take you down the mountain. Until then, you stay inside. Don't move a single step!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she closed the door heavily!
Then... Xuanyin suddenly heard the sound of locking the door from outside!
"Wait... old lady... are you going to lock me in?"
But... There was no answer from outside. And then, Xuanyin went to push the door, but there was no reaction at all, and she couldn't push it open no matter what!
Although there is a window in this small room, the window of this window is embedded in the middle, and there is no room for an adult to go out at all.
In other words... she was put under house arrest!
And... the old lady said... she wants to take her down the mountain in person
Xuanyin returned to the bed, sat down again, grabbed the sheet on the bed, bit her lips tightly, and felt a strong strange feeling.
From start to finish... not normal.
Yep... from that day, accidentally took that photo...
She suddenly had some regrets.
In this way, time continued to pass, and instead of having any tendency to stop, the rain was getting bigger and bigger. Even, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
"How long will it rain?"
Now she, on the contrary, hopes that she can leave earlier. When the rain stops, we can leave Minshan, right
At this time, suddenly the door was gently opened. She turned her head quickly, and saw that it was the young girl who brought in a plate of food.
"That..." Xuanyin walked up to the girl and asked, "Why... you locked me inside?"
However, when the girl saw Xuanyin approaching, she shouted, "Don't come here! Don't come here!"
Her face was completely filled with fear, and even her body trembled. She immediately closed the door firmly, and then locked it again!
"Hey, hey, hey! You... are you under house arrest? Let me out!"
But the girl said from behind the door: "No... Grandma said you can't let you leave, absolutely not... until the day after tomorrow, absolutely not..."
"Okay... I... I don't go out... just through the door, just through the door, can you talk to me?"
Being locked in such a small room all this time, and under such weird conditions, no one could bear it.
"say something?"
"Yes. Talk to me."
"Okay. But...but you must not come out..."
Xuanyin breathed a sigh of relief, she sat in front of the door and asked, "Can you tell me... your name?"
However, when this sentence was asked, the girl outside reacted violently!
"No... no! I can't tell you my name!"
"For...why?"
Why not be able to tell the name
Does this have any special significance
"I beg you... don't ask this question... Are all members of your Xiahou family like this?"
"A member of 'our' Xiahou's family?"
"No... no... sorry, I made a mistake just now, please forget... please... forget..."
She is afraid.
She... was extremely afraid of the members of Xiahou's family. Although I don't know why. Because of this, are you afraid to tell yourself your name
"I..." Xuanyin originally wanted to say that I am not from Xiahou's family, but it seems too weird to say so. Her surname is indeed Xiahou, and she probably has a certain relationship with Minshan Xiahou's family.
Among the group of tombstones, the tombstones of Xiahou's family are typically different.
But... why, do you want to set up a tombstone for yourself during your lifetime? This is even true for people like her who were not born in Minshan at all.
"People in Minshan...will they all set up tombstones for themselves during their lifetime?"
Thinking of this, she asked the question that had troubled her for a long time.
"You... are from Xiahou's family, don't you know this?"
"I... wasn't born in Minshan."
"Really?" Then, the girl was silent for a long time, and said: "Yes. The people of this mountain, at the moment of birth, have to set up a tombstone for themselves in advance. After death, they must be buried in that tombstone. Even if he died outside, the body must be transported back to Minshan for burial. Absolutely, it cannot be buried in other places.”
"Is there any... special reason?"
"I don't know... It's just that grandma told us that people in Minshan all do that."
"But erecting a tombstone just after birth? Isn't that too exaggerated?"
"I don't think so. People are destined to die from birth. No one can live forever."
Xuanyin was stunned. That said, there seems to be nothing wrong. However, Chinese people have always been extremely taboo about death. Generally speaking, younger people are extremely taboo about death, let alone... such an unlucky thing.
But... If his father dies, it is impossible for him to let people bury him in Minshan. Absolutely impossible... More than that, everyone who lives in Minshan must be buried in a fixed cemetery after death
what is this
What would happen if... after death, he was buried in a place other than Minshan
She wanted to say this very much, but she felt that maybe this young girl didn't know.
"Xiahou's family... how much do you know?"
This time, however, it was deathly silence.
"that… "
"I don't know, about the Xiahou family..."
"But… "
"Don't say anything! I don't know! I don't know anything!"
Afterwards, the voice faded away. Apparently the girl left the door.
Once the "Xiahou" family was mentioned, the girl's emotions were particularly agitated. What exactly happened to make this girl turn so pale towards Xiahou's family
And his surname is Xiahou. Does this surname really have any special meaning
At this moment, she thought of the man in the hood.
She saw him for the first time when she boarded the bus to Minsan.
At first, it just felt a little strange, why she was always wearing a hood, but... as time went by, she became more concerned. There seems to be some secret in this man.
that's not a dream...
The black mark on the wall, that is not a dream...
At this time, a girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"If... you are from Xiahou's family, can you check this for me?"
At this time, a piece of yellowed paper was handed in through the crack of the door.
"What is this?"
The girl said in a trembling voice: "This is something that grandma has been hiding. But... I always feel that something is wrong... Grandma, she was not like this before..."
Xuanyin touched the paper with her hand.
Then, she slowly unfolded the paper.
This is…
"This... what? Could it be... a map?"
"Yes. It's a map. Part of a map, to be precise."
"But... I can't understand this map at all..."
"I don't know what this broken map means. It's just that grandma seems to attach great importance to this map, so she locked it up. She seems to hope to find something through this map. I once guessed that it might be a hidden treasure. Maps and the like. But... this map seems to be incomplete. The only thing I know is... this map may be related to Xiahou's family. However, this map has a very strange place."
"Very weird place?"
"Even if you look at this map for ten minutes or even an hour, when you take your eyes off the map, you will not be able to recall any information on the map! And even if you look at When viewing this map, you can’t describe the information on the map to anyone!”
