When Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo rushed downstairs, they saw Li Su being held in Li Ye's arms in shock. The atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.
But when Li Su turned his head and saw the porcelain bottle in Lin Banxia's hand, his expression changed immediately, and the conditioned reflex retreated: "Stay away from me—"
Lin Banxia had to stand still and said, "Okay, I won't come, don't be nervous."
Song Qingluo walked up to Li Su and asked, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Facing Song Qingluo's question, Li Su pursed his lips and looked nervous: "I... saw my mother."
Lin Banxia didn't know what happened to Li Su, so she didn't know, Song Qingluo knew, and said, "Which mother?"
Li Su smiled bitterly: "How can I tell clearly."
One was a heretic, and the other was a real mother, and until he was taken out of here, he didn't know that the mother was fake. She clearly worked hard to protect herself from being killed by other crazy people, and she was obviously seriously injured because of it, but why did everything turn into an illusion in a blink of an eye? The thing that was exactly the same as his mother changed into another person in front of him. Facing his questioning, it just showed an innocent look.
"What are you talking about?" it replied, "You are not my son, I don't know you at all? Mother? How do I know where your mother is?" It has a human-like appearance, even showing It has the exact same expression as a human, but the words it speaks are creepy. It blinked, smiled brightly, and said, "Your mother may have been eaten by something."
After hearing this answer, Li Su almost went crazy on the spot.
Just now, he was looking for the source of the sound in the bedroom, and found that the sound was at the side of the bed at first, and then it seemed to have moved under the bed. Li Su didn't think about it, he just lay on the floor and looked under the bed. The next moment, a face exactly like his mother appeared under the bed, almost touching the tip of his nose through a narrow gap.
Mother's face was still so young - she grinned and showed Li Su a bright smile that Li Su was very familiar with, and then called his name - "Susu".
Almost instantly, Li Su's nerves collapsed. He didn't even know what he had done. When he regained consciousness, it was already after going downstairs. Li Ye hugged him, and the body temperature was continuously transmitted to him through the thin clothes, so that his mind that was on the verge of collapse was finally relieved.
A nightmare that could never be forgotten in a lifetime reappeared in front of him, and Li Su felt that he was only one step away from madness.
He quietly leaned on Li Ye's shoulder, expressionless and speechless. Facing Song Qingluo's questioning, he knew that his passive behavior was wrong, but he couldn't help it.
He was really scared.
"Let him rest first." Li Ye said, "Let's ask tomorrow."
Song Qingluo raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Li Ye said expressionlessly, "Yes."
Hearing this, Song Qingluo did not force it, she gave Lin Banxia a wink, and the two turned around and left while holding the porcelain bottle. Li Su stared blankly at Lin Banxia's back and said, "Will she come back?"
"It's all right." Li Ye put his arms around him, his solid arms, as if to protect or imprison him, he said.
"Is it alright to just leave the two of them like this?" Lin Banxia was holding the porcelain bottle, but she was still a little worried about Li Su's mental state. He didn't know what Li Su saw and why he reacted so much.
Song Qingluo said: "It's okay, Li Ye is with him." He glanced behind him with a corner of his light, "Li Su has done the most correct thing in his life, probably picking up that kid back."
Lin Banxia didn't quite understand.
Song Qingluo said, "I will tell you slowly."
The two returned to the bedroom, Song Qingluo recounted what happened at Li Su's house in a short sentence, Lin Banxia was a little stunned: "It means, that heresy pretended to be his mother, and then Let the rest of his family kill each other and show him?"
"Yes." Song Qingluo said, "So you can imagine how Li Su felt when he found out about all this. He was not very young at the time, maybe a teenager, and in a few days, his family was completely destroyed. ."
Lin Banxia said, "Has that thing been successfully sealed?"
"It's sealed." Song Qingluo said, "I sealed it myself."
"Since it's been sealed, why does it still appear?" Lin Banxia asked in confusion, "Or... is it actually another heresy that appeared?"
"It's very possible." Song Qingluo pinched the corners of her eyes, "It's been a little abnormal recently, heretical things have appeared too frequently." For almost the whole year of this year, they haven't had a good rest.
Lin Banxia also felt strange.
"Let's rest first." Song Qingluo said, "When Li Su recovers, I will ask in detail tomorrow."
Lin Banxia nodded and said yes.
The two of them got into bed, and there was the porcelain bottle they brought back on the bedside table. Before going to bed, Lin Banxia kept staring at it, wanting to see if there would be any strange changes in it. Looking at it, drowsiness welled up, and soon fell into a sweet dream.
Song Qingluo heard that Lin Banxia's breathing gradually became even, her heart groaned slightly, she wondered why he was worried that Lin Banxia would not be able to sleep, this guy in his family can run horses on it, he may be crazy, he It's fine.
Lin Banxia really slept soundly this time. He thought he would sleep until dawn, but he suddenly woke up just after three o'clock in the morning.
Without any interruption, he woke up inexplicably from the dream and saw the ceiling above his head in the mist. At this moment, Lin Banxia had the illusion that he was still dreaming, and a faint sound of wind suddenly blew in his ears, pulling him back to reality.
Now that you are awake, let's go to the toilet, Lin Banxia thought so, and rolled over and got out of bed.
The toilet was next to the balcony. As Lin Banxia walked to the toilet, he glanced at the sky outside. But it was this sight that made him froze in place. I saw above the pitch-black sky, densely covered with stars, this should have been a beautiful scene, but the stars that were originally colorless were exuding the brilliance of yingying dark green, like bright emeralds, hovering over the place. above the sky.
These stars seem to have life, moving slowly, in the sky, circles of splendid halos, gently spread out in the Milky Way. Then, the constellations began to fall, one after another, as if they had lost their lives, sliding from the sky. The wind in his ears grew louder and louder, and Lin Banxia heard a strange murmur. The source of the murmur was the sky he was looking up at. He didn't know that the dark green line in his black eyes reappeared, like a raised pupil, responding to the distant call.
Lin Banxia stretched out his hand. It was clear that the green star clusters were far away from him, but his fingertips actually felt a scorching hot touch, as if he really touched those burning star clusters... This is a It was a feeling he had never felt before, the lightness of his body seemed to be almost non-existent, and the next moment, he would be swept into the deep Milky Way with the cool midnight wind.
Just when this feeling was getting stronger and stronger, Lin Banxia heard a soft humming, a woman's voice, her soft voice, humming a song, as if coaxing a baby who was about to fall asleep. The singing gradually overshadowed the murmur, allowing Lin Banxia to escape from that wonderful state.
"Time is running out." The woman seemed to be behind him, "Come on."
Lin Banxia suddenly realized that this was Song Qingluo's mother's voice. When he turned his head, there was nothing behind him, and only Song Qingluo could be seen sleeping on the bed.
The sky outside had changed back to its proper color. It was pitch black, but it was inexplicably reassuring.
Lin Banxia stood on the balcony and was silent for a while. He felt that something was out of his control. What did Song Qingluo's mother mean? time is limited? When is time running out? With doubts, he returned to the bedside, looked at Song Qingluo's peaceful sleeping face, thought about it, and decided to take advantage of it first, regardless of that much.
So with a smile, Lin Banxia dropped a gentle kiss on Song Qingluo's lips.
Song Qingluo closed his eyes, unaware that he had a good dream, and in the dream, there was also a person named Lin Banxia accompanying him.
The next day, it was still a sunny day, and the dazzling sunlight woke Lin Banxia from her dream.
He got up in a daze and found that Song Qingluo was gone. After washing up and changing his clothes, Lin Banxia went downstairs and saw that a hearty breakfast was already placed in the dining room.
"Awake?" Song Qingluo said, "I thought you were going to sleep a little longer."
Lin Banxia realized that they were all waiting for him, and was a little embarrassed: "Why didn't you call me?"
"I'll let you sleep more if you're sound asleep." Song Qingluo said, "I'm not in a hurry to eat anyway."
Lin Banxia nodded and looked at Li Su.
After a lot of tossing last night, Li Su had two big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he was not resting. Fortunately, the confusion from last night was no longer on his face, and he was much calmer. Just kidding: "Yo, Song Qingluo didn't let you get out of bed? It doesn't seem like you worked hard enough."
Lin Banxia said, "Are you okay?"
"I said it's fortunate that you won't believe it." Li Su scolded, "That thing is really not a goddamn thing. It suddenly appeared under my bed, and I was almost scared out of my life—"
"It's not almost." Song Qingluo added, "It's already."
Li Su: "Can't you save some face for me?"
"I refuse." Song Qingluo said ruthlessly.
Li Su smiled wryly, and beckoned Lin Banxia to have breakfast, talking while eating. Lin Banxia sat next to Song Qingluo, picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a steaming bun into his mouth, listening to Li Su tell what happened last night.
When he heard that Li Su saw his mother's face under the bed, Lin Banxia glanced at Song Qingluo conditionedly.
Li Su captured this detail and said in surprise, "Lin Banxia, have you seen your mother too?"
Lin Banxia said embarrassedly: "No, my mother died early, I don't remember what she looked like..."
Li Su said, "Then what you see is..."
Lin Banxia answered, "It's Song Qingluo's mother."
Originally a tense topic, because Lin Banxia's sentence "Song Qingluo fuck" became full of dark humor. Li Su obviously wanted to laugh, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he pressed it down, pretending to be serious: "Oh, it's your mother-in-law, have you behaved well?"
Lin Banxia said faintly: "It's a good performance, and I even talked to her about the price for a while before I bought the porcelain bottle for you."
Li Su: "Pfft."
Lin Banxia said with disgust, "If you want to laugh, just laugh."
"Hahahahaha!!!" When Li Su heard this, he couldn't help it, he laughed exaggeratedly, and patted his thigh hard.
Lin Banxia was just thinking about how loud your fucking clap was, and she didn't mind the pain in her legs. Then I heard Li Ye say coldly, "You want to pat yourself."
"I don't." Li Su was brazen, "I'm afraid of pain."
Li Ye's eyes twitched.
After such an interruption, the dignified breath just now was much less, and Li Su's somewhat tense emotions also relaxed.
"Then what's going on?" Lin Banxia said, "Could it be that there are heretics in this room?"
"It looks like this at the moment." Li Su said, "I just don't know what that thing is." He drank a mouthful of porridge and grinned, "You said, could it be that it can make up for what happened back then? , re-presented?"
Lin Banxia said, "It shouldn't be. If so, why didn't Song Qingluo see it, but I saw it?" After all, Song Qingluo was the one who experienced all that back then. To show what happened back then, at least he should use his memory as evidence, but he had never even seen what the hell Song Qingluo looked like.
Li Su also felt that it made sense, and scratched his head irritably: "What should I do? I don't want to report this to the other side and let them send someone over." This is his ancestral home, and when he thinks that it is possible Because the search became tattered again, I felt uncomfortable for a while.
Lin Banxia said, "By the way, haven't there been several homeowners here? How are they now?"
Li Su didn't think of this, and looked at Li Ye: "Yes, are they okay?"
Li Ye said indifferently: "After your family sold this villa, you have been in charge of six more masters, with an average of no more than three years for each one. I don't know about the others, but the most recent one, before I bought it, did come out. something."
Li Su: "Damn, then you still dare to buy it?"
Li Ye raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this your home?"
Li Su was heartless: "If you sell it, it won't work."
Li Ye ignored Li Su and continued: "What happened was that the hostess suddenly had mental problems and was put in a mental hospital. The host thought it was unlucky, so he planned to sell it. Opportunity to buy it."
Song Qingluo said, "What happened to the mistress, you didn't ask?"
"I found out." Li Ye said, "I said that I could always see strange things in the house. After that, my mental state got worse and worse, and I even jumped from the second floor - I didn't die, but my foot was broken."
Li Su said: "Then this is a haunted house?? Why didn't you say it before?"
Li Ye said calmly, "This is a murderous house, so what is the place where Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo live?"
Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo who were innocently shot: "..."
Li Su thought about it carefully and found that what Li Ye said was right. Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo lived together with those urns for so long and it was nothing to do. He didn't seem to have to be so hypocritical, scratching his head, honest Smiling: "Yes."
Song Qingluo said coldly, "Can you not use us as an example?"
Li Ye spread his hands, as if I didn't mean to offend.
Lin Banxia silently wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes, thinking that when she buys a house for Xiaohua in the future, she must go inside, so that Li Su and the others cannot look down on her.
The topic returned, Li Ye talked about the news he had inquired about in the town before he bought the house. Before the hostess went crazy, she was obsessed with the china in the town for a long time, and even vacated a room for special use. To put the china she bought. Until one day later, she suddenly went crazy and threw all the china she bought from the window, shouting that there was a ghost while throwing it. At that time, this incident was very popular in the town, but everyone didn't take the hostess's words to heart, thinking that she might have a mental problem.
Later, the hostess went completely crazy and did not dare to go out. She locked herself in the house every day until she suddenly jumped from the second floor one night and was sent to the mental hospital by the host. Li Ye took over the house and wanted to surprise Li Su.
Li Ye didn't mention these stories before he came. Li Su said depressedly, "Can't you tell it earlier? What if there is really a problem with the house?"
Li Ye said lightly: "I lived here alone for half a month before, and I didn't see anything, so I called you here."
Li Su scolded swear words: "If something happens to you, no one will know."
Li Ye: "You will know, just a little slower."
Li Su: "..." He laughed angrily.
Song Qingluo was too lazy to take care of the two of them, this kind of small quarrel between the two can no longer be regarded as a contradiction, it can only be regarded as the interest between the two of them, and he has no intention of participating, and said, "What now? deal with?"
Li Su said, "Can you find that thing?"
Song Qingluo pondered for a moment, thinking about something, and he tapped his finger on the table: "Yes, yes, do you dare?"
Li Suqiang smiled and said, "What's the matter... I don't dare."
Although he said that he dared, but other people also saw that he was a little reluctant. Lin Banxia looked at Li Ye, he thought Li Ye would persuade Li Su, but Li Ye said lightly, "Then try it."
Li Su hummed.
"How?" Li Ye looked at Song Qingluo.
Song Qingluo said: "It's very simple, just restore the previous environment, a person, in a single room, with porcelain with figures in front of him, looking at the porcelain, will he still become a real person. "
It's very simple, but it means that Li Su is very likely to see that thing again, the thing that calls him "Susu" and looks exactly like his mother.
"Are you really... all right?" Lin Banxia felt that Li Su's face was not very good-looking.
"Well." Li Su said, "No problem."
Lin Banxia: "..."
"Then let's try it tonight." Li Ye raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "I'll be standing guard outside the door since the early morning. If it doesn't work, call me."
"Okay." Li Su said.
Lin Banxia really couldn't understand what the two were. He thought that with Li Ye's strong desire to protect Li Su, he would go there instead of Li Su. But he didn't expect him to agree so lightly, and he even started to take the initiative to arrange a plan.
This doubt reached its peak when I went to the waterfall in the afternoon to play.
The waterfall is right next to the villa. It is not big, but it is very beautiful. A small river meanders and disappears at the end of the forest. The water is very clear, and you can see small shrimps, small fish and stone river sand swimming in it.
Because Li Su couldn't bask in the sun, only Lin Banxia and Song Qingluo came to play. Lin Banxia took off her shoes and socks, stepped into the water, and said, "Qingluo, what the hell is Li Ye thinking?"
Song Qingluo didn't like water, so he sat on the shore to enjoy the shade, he said, "What do you think?"
Lin Banxia said, "Didn't he feel so distressed for Li Su? Would he be willing to suffer?" When Li Su was frightened, Li Ye's expression almost wanted to rub him into his body.
Song Qingluo glanced at Lin Banxia and said, "I can understand him."
Lin Banxia: "Huh?"
Song Qingluo said, "He at least held back."
Lin Banxia listened inexplicably: "What did you hold back?"
Song Qingluo sighed, feeling a little helpless: "Li Su was only in his teens when he picked up Li Ye. At that time, he didn't care about things, and he almost died several times. Fortunately, he likes to drink... It's so different from the way he used to be."
Lin Banxia: "The way it used to be?"
Song Qingluo said, "Well, the way it used to be."
He mentioned that when Li Su first arrived at the base, he was not yet an adult. He looked like a doll, was well educated, and had a very docile personality. He was a very lovable and good young master. Later, as Li Su learned more about heresy, his personality changed dramatically, and he finally became what Lin Banxia saw today.
Song Qingluo said, "Li Ye is a formidable character, who can become a monitor from a recorder, but the hardships and dangers are not known to outsiders. As an ordinary person, he has done what we monsters can do. He knows Li Su. I used to be an obedient young master, and I also know what happened to Li Su..."
Lin Banxia vaguely understood: "He shouldn't think about..."
Song Qingluo said, "That's right, he wanted to turn Li Su into that carefree boy again, but he was restraining himself."
Lin Banxia: "..."
Song Qingluo said, "He wants to give him the best of everything."
Li Ye wanted Li Su to be the most cherished little prince in the world, but at the same time he was afraid, afraid that when Li Su really became that fragile little prince, he could not protect him. That's why he deliberately showed Li Su's ruthlessness and indifference when faced with difficulties, and the contradiction was like a split personality.
Lin Banxia was silent, Song Qingluo said, he naturally understood. Comparing his heart to his heart, he is of course willing to do everything he can to heal Song Qingluo's wounds. Every time he sees Song Qingluo cutting open his body, he feels as if he has been cut open once.
The wound is really painful. But what if the scab from the wound was their armor.
The wound will heal, the scab will fall, and the fragile soul will be exposed again.
Thinking of this, Lin Banxia finally understood why Li Ye looked at Li Su with those eyes. These choices are probably the problems that Li Ye will never be able to answer.
The author has something to say:
Lin Banxia fell into deep thought after seeing the green light in the sky.
Song Qingluo: What do you think
Lin Banxia: I was wondering if the green light was implying something
Song Qingluo: Have you figured it out
Lin Banxia: Are you carrying someone behind my back? ? God can't watch it anymore, give me some hints?
Song Qingluo: …
