The white-faced woman's words made me stop involuntarily, and I certainly still can't fully believe her. But what she said made me quite moved. I really want to know what is in my eyes.
This is how people are, especially things that happen to them, no matter how good or bad, they want to get to the bottom of it all. Sometimes, the result may not be bearable by oneself, however, at the moment of searching for the truth, no one can care so much.
Seeing that I slowed down, the white-faced woman took the little girl and speeded up.
"Wait!" As soon as I saw these two people, my heart began to froze. The white-faced woman hurt me so badly. This little girl who was only five or six years old grabbed me and took a bite again, on my wrist. His wounds are still bleeding, and I am still wary of them both.
"I have no other meaning..." The white-faced woman heard my tone and hurriedly stopped and explained: "I just... I just think you are a good person..."
"Yeah, I'm a good person, so I want to lie to me again?" I took out the wound medicine, stopped the bleeding from the wound on my wrist, and wrapped it up.
"Sister, let's go." The little girl named Xiaowan seemed to have a stubborn temper. As soon as I said that, she pulled the white-faced woman and left.
"You just said, ask me if I want to know what is in my eyes, you know?" I watched them leaving, although I was wary, I was afraid of losing this opportunity.
Obviously, the white-faced woman has some means. Everything I saw in the woods just now was an illusion. It must have been a white-faced woman doing tricks. But I don't understand. The few people I saw are people who are closely related to me, especially Qingluo and Fang Tian. I usually don't tell anyone that I know them.
But the white-faced woman can actually let me see these people in the illusion, which means that she can even know some of the people and things that I think in my heart.
"I don't know, I can't see correctly. The things in your eyes are very deep, maybe, only you can see it." The white-faced woman seemed to really want to reconcile, and stood still and said: "I can help you ."
I snorted, and I wanted to hear her continue, but I was afraid of being caught by others. I sat down on the spot, picked up some dry wood and dead leaves from the ground next to it, slowly started a fire, and then took out two pieces of dry food and roasted them on the fire.
The white-faced woman saw that I didn't drive them away again, so she cautiously leaned over here.
The weather at this time was already quite cold, especially after nightfall, when the cool breeze was blowing vigorously, guarding a pile of bonfires, it was still very warm. I was baking the dry food, and the white-faced woman sat down and slapped Xiaowan's dust on her body. I feel that she cares about this little girl very much.
"Let's talk about it." I put down the dry food in my hand and said: "You first tell me about your origins, lest you don't know the foundation."
"I remember telling you that I belong to the Meng family, and I belong to the Meng family in Laohekou."
"I know, but when the Meng family goes out, they are usually followed by people from the Five Elements Hall. Since you belong to the Meng family, what about the people from the Five Elements Hall?"
"The people in the Five Elements Hall only protect the Meng family." The white-faced woman shook her head and said, "I am no longer a member of the Meng family."
I listened to her while observing secretly
Her look. Xiao Wan was nothing but a child, but more clever and stubborn. The white-faced woman is different. I have to think about what she said to tell the truth from the false.
The Meng family in Laohekou is a big family that has multiplied for many generations, with a lot of nearby branches. The white-faced woman's name was Meng Wen, and she was still a member of the Meng family.
But she is a little different from other Meng family. Meng Wen's father is the fourth in the Meng family. Because the Meng family and the Wuxingtang have always been married and have an interest relationship, each generation of the Meng family must have two or three people who marry the Wuxingtang. The wife of Meng Wen's father, Meng Youxin, is a woman from the Five Elements Hall.
This kind of marriage is arranged. The two have never seen each other before, and they don't even know each other's height, short, fat and thin, and they are finally brought together. If you meet an honest person, it's fine, just make do with your life, if you encounter dishonest, more thoughtful people, you will probably have a bad life.
Meng Youxin is thoughtful. Before he got married, there was a friend outside, but due to the Five Elements Hall, Meng Youxin could not marry the other party as a matchmaker. After he got married with the woman in the Five Elements Hall, he was still raising people outside. Not only did she raise people, she also gave birth to two sisters, Meng Wen and Meng Wan.
Before Xiaowan was born, Meng Youxin passed away. When Xiaowan was over a year old, his biological mother also passed away. The two sisters had no support and could only go to Meng's house to admit their relatives.
The Meng family recognized these two people anyway, but they were regarded as "wonders". Meng Youxin's widow did not give them a good face. The Meng family did not want to offend the people of the Five Elements Hall. Therefore, the two sisters suffered. When I was angry, no one spoke for them.
After four or five years, Meng Wen couldn’t stand it anymore. She was patient in the Meng’s house before, but because her younger sister was young, she couldn’t take care of it if she took it away. When Xiaowan was a little older, Meng Wen gave birth and escaped. Thoughts.
About half a year ago, Meng Wen quietly left the Meng family with Meng Wan, and never returned. The two of them wandered away.
After listening to Meng Wen's statement, I don't know whether it is true or not. If it is true, the two men's life is not good, which is quite sympathetic.
"Then tell me, how can you help me see what's in my eyes?"
Meng Wen told me that one of the most famous techniques of the Meng family is called controlling dreams. The people of the Meng family can not only guide sleeping people to dream, but they can also let people dream their dreams as they like.
Dreams are actually very magical. Sometimes people will turn memories of the past into dreams, dreaming of people they know before, dreaming of things they have experienced before. If it's an ordinary person, you can't tell why. But Meng Wen allows me to use dreaming to search for the past in the depths of my memory.
"What's the guide?" I shook my head, picked up a piece of dry food, thought about it, and handed it to Xiaowan. Xiaowan probably was still angry with me, pouting and refusing to take it. After Meng Wen said a few words, she reluctantly took the dry food from my hand and sat beside the fire.
"This is very useful."
"It may be useful to other people, but what is it to me?" I felt it was not feasible when I heard it: "I am so old, and I don’t remember the things I have experienced before. Even if you make me dream, I What can you dream of?"
"You must remember the past? People are two or three years old
At that time, nothing can be remembered. "
"Two or three years old, what can you do when you are two or three years old." I smiled bitterly: "I can't even walk the road, so what can I experience?"
"I'm just telling you this. If you refuse, it's up to you." Seeing that I didn't want to, Meng Wen stopped reluctantly, lowered his head and set aside the fire, and said: "The previous thing, I I'm not going to make a difference with you, I didn't mean to hurt you, but at that time I was chased by you, and I was afraid in my heart. There was no other way to protect my life except for Huayang Huo."
"This..." I was irritated at Meng Wen, but after talking to her for so long, when I think about the previous things, I suddenly lost my anger: "Forget it, forget it. My life is hard and I have not been tortured to death."
While we were talking, we threw some dry wood into the fire. Meng Wen asked me if I was a corpse scavenger, and I nodded. Suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Does your Meng family's methods work for the living and the dead?"
"It depends on what kind of dead people are. Some people die for too long. It's probably not easy to make them. That's only the top figures of our Meng family. If people die soon, I can still try. "
As I nodded, I thought to myself that Meng Wen had this ability, if I didn't use it, it would be a bit wasteful. The master asked me to search for the three-eyed floating corpse in the big river. It was very difficult. After all, I was only one person. I patrolled the river back and forth every day. After a day, I could only walk back and forth for dozens of miles of waterways. Such a big river, dozens of miles of water a day, is nothing at all.
If the floating corpse was found in the river and asked Meng Wen to ask, there might be any clues. The three-eyed floating corpse would usually gather the floating corpse for his own drive.
When I thought of this, I immediately came to my mind and discussed with Meng Wen if I could do me a favor. Meng Wen probably felt guilty about what happened before, and casually agreed.
At this time, the night was already very deep, Xiao Wan ate dry food, probably sleepy, lying on Meng Wen's lap, and soon fell asleep.
"To do something tomorrow, you have to be energetic, and you should rest for a while."
"Pull it down." I shook my head. No matter how familiar I was with Meng Wen, there was always a thorn in my heart: "You're by the side, I don't dare to close my eyes."
Meng Wen lowered his head and smiled, and did not persuade me, napping with his chin in both hands. The two fell asleep one after the other. I lay down gently and looked at the unburned campfire, hoping to gain something tomorrow.
The next day, I took the two of them to the river beach, and the small broken ship remained where it was. When the weather was cold, there were fewer boats in the river, and almost all the corpse collectors went out of business and went home to Maodong. Not many people came to the river this month, so most of the floating corpses are not easy to find. I used a boat to pick out some river bends, but when I looked for a time, I couldn't find anything. "
"I'm afraid it won't work, so I don't have to work hard." Meng Wen said, "I'll think of a way."
"Is there any other way to find a floating corpse? Isn't it just by eyes?"
"There are some floating corpses, but you can't see them with your eyes. You are a corpse collector. You must know that three corpses are not collected, three are not collected, and there is a saying that standing corpses are not collected. The standing corpses are all under the river, you are watching Not possible."
"I don't know a lot, then tell me, how do you find the standing corpse?"
"Catch them up."
