Chapter Eight Mother
This "top" is naturally for that "bottom". He Xiaojianqiang and I both know the meaning, but if this analysis is true, wouldn't it mean that He Jianqiang once saw me or was a person who looked very similar to me to hang himself? Of course, it may not necessarily be in this old house.
I suddenly felt a little big. He Xiaojianqiang always mentioned the upper and lower parts in front of me from time to time, and every time he said differently. Obviously he himself didn't know why his father He Jianqiang said that at that time. It was just his guess. But he seemed to be too enthusiastic about it, so even I was shocked. He felt even more gloomy. It was also a good thing that I had experienced a lot. If an ordinary person had been crazy, I might have been crazy. But if this continues, I can't guarantee that I wouldn't think too much, so I said simply: "Don't worry about what it is. I just want you to close your mouth now and sleep on the pillow. Do you understand? It's right away!"
Although the light was lit, He Xiaojianqiang's sleeping bag was a little far away from me, so he couldn't see his face clearly. He only heard him chuckling a few times, and then the sound of his body turning around was heard. He should be ready to go to bed. I thought to myself that a child was too energetic, but he always liked to think about it and make people feel at ease. In this way, the so-called woman walking around the roof was really afraid that he would pretend to be a ghost and think about it. Unless he also had the same mental imagination as Wang Zihua, I have read all the list of experiments that Qingshan and my father did, and they also knew that these people had been eliminated. In addition, He Xiaojianqiang's age was impossible to have undergone their surgical transformation. The time was wrong. Since this factor was ruled out, it was impossible for normal people to suffer from speculation suddenly, then the possibility of him pretending to be a ghost should be extremely high.
"It must be like this," I said to myself, and said it very surely, but in fact, I didn't know if I really thought so or was comforting myself. After all, all this is just my personal analysis, and He Xiaojianqiang's changes are real, giving people a mysterious feeling.
After rushing for a day, I was lying in my sleeping bag. I finally felt a little tired, and my eyelids pressed down like a mountain. Just as I was about to fall asleep in a daze, I suddenly heard He Xiaojianqiang say something. I didn't pay attention because I was too sleepy. He raised his voice and said it again. I became a little impatient and asked, "What are you quarreling, go to bed!"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "What's that woman's name?"
I was confused when I heard the words "that woman", and immediately thought of the woman he mentioned on the roof. Although I analyzed that He Xiaojianqiang was pretending to be a scary person, he was actually a little scared in his subconscious mind. So when I heard these words, I immediately shuddered and woke up, and asked, "What did you say?"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "That woman, your friend."
I was stunned for a moment before I remembered that he was talking about Xiaorui. At that time, I found that He Xiaoqiang's eyes looked at Xiaorui were a little different. It seemed that he really fell in love with her. While I was angry that I was woken up by him, I was also angry because of my fuss. I had no good tone when I spoke: "I am much older than you. Don't think about it, you are a little kid. You don't have your share. Go to bed quickly."
I turned over and prepared to continue sleeping, but He Xiaojianqiang's voice came over again: "Have you noticed that when I told you about the stories in my family, I never talked about any of the women."
After He Xiaojianqiang said this, I suddenly realized that this was indeed the case, and I didn’t mention his brothers and sisters. A family could not have been a single lineage for hundreds of years. Even if there were really no brothers and sisters, they still had a wife, but I never heard him say it. Of course, I can understand that those women did not have any direct contact with the jade pendant, so I saved as much as possible. In He Xiaojianqiang’s house, I didn’t see his mother. This was not a big deal, but after hearing what he said just now, what was the secret here?
It seems that I can't sleep tonight, and I was also attracted by He Xiaojianqiang's words, so I simply gave up on my plan to continue sleeping, turned over and looked at him, and asked, "What's the story here? Let's hear it!"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "I don't know either. Since I was sensible, it seems that no woman has ever appeared in the family. I don't know who my mother is. When asked my father, he always refused to say anything. Later, I accidentally heard him talking to himself and realized that he had never seen my grandma. It is said that our family has always been like this. Maybe we have seen it, but it was too young at that time and I can't remember what it looked like."
I was stunned. I didn't expect that there was such a story. There was obviously something strange about it. We just didn't know it. After thinking about it, I asked carefully: "Then will you marry a wife, will it be like this?"
This is obviously a nonsense, but I have no idea what to say. Now that I think about it, such a child has to face the pressure that many people will never encounter in their lifetime since childhood. No wonder he looks like he has more vicissitudes than his peers. I suddenly feel that He Xiaojianqiang is really a pitiful child.
At this time, He Xiaojianqiang continued: "I asked my father about this but he refused to say it. He asked others but had no place to ask. I couldn't understand why this is. I only knew that every generation of our family had to change places to marry a wife. I always wondered if it was a curse in our family? It was not until I met you later and heard you tell your story that I thought of a possibility."
I am very impressed by He Xiaojian's analytical and reasoning skills. Although many things are not based on real evidence, they are real and credible when they think about them carefully, so I hurriedly asked: "What is possible?"
"The ninth well!" He Xiaojianqiang's tone was still very calm, but this calmness made me feel a sense of coldness for no reason. He Xiaojianqiang said: "Maybe this jade pendant is really the legendary ninth well. Every generation of women in our family has been filled with this well. The red on the jade pendant, maybe it is their blood, it is my mother's, I'm too ***, the blood of generations of women in our family."
The more he spoke, the more the gloomy feeling in his tone, the colder I felt in my heart, and hurriedly interrupted: "You know that it was just something that was hypnotized after being hypnotized. No one knows what the truth is. You are thinking too much."
He Xiaojianqiang disagreed: "But you have also said that there are many secrets hidden in it. It is precisely because you don't know which one is true and which one is false that you cannot easily deny this possibility."
I was speechless. He Xiaojianqiang's words were not without reason. In the stories I told, it was true that someone would die every time the jade pendant turned red. I sighed and said, "After all, they are just speculations, don't think too much."
He Xiaojianqiang was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "I have seen photos of my mother before."
When I heard this, I felt excited and said, "What's going on? Didn't you say you haven't seen your mother before?"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "I have never seen my mother, but for some reason, when I saw the photo from my father's drawer, I thought it must be her."
I continued to ask, "You didn't ask your father?"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "When I was very young, I knew that there were many things that I couldn't ask in this family. I also believe that my father refused to tell me that there must be his reason."
I couldn't help feeling a little sad, not knowing what to say. At this time, He Xiaojianqiang said again: "There is another little secret that I haven't told you. I have been different from others since I was a child. My eyes can see those things."
I didn't react at once, and He Xiaojianqiang repeated it again. This time I finally understood it and was shocked: "Can you see ghosts? Are there really ghosts in this world?"
After being shocked, I almost immediately wanted to tell if you had a fantasy disease, but I swallowed this sentence, because at this time He Xiaojianqiang immediately said: "I am not as sick as you imagined. I can really see it. Do you still remember that little black room?"
I suddenly remembered what He Xiaojianqiang said at the beginning. I always thought he was pretending to be a ghost. Could it be that these are actually true? I just felt a chill on my back and couldn't help but move to He Xiaojianqiang's side. You know, although I have experienced many incredible things, it is the first time I have had such a close contact with such things as ghosts.
He Xiaojianqiang saw me moving towards him, but he didn't mean to laugh at me. He got closer at this time. I could already see his face clearly with the light, and naturally looked into his eyes. I don't know if it was because of the influence of his words, but I always felt that something strange in his eyes was revealed.
He Xiaojianqiang suddenly turned his head and looked at me. I was startled and instinctively shrank his body. He Xiaojianqiang laughed and scolded, "Do you want to scare people so much?" After thinking about it, he asked again, "What does these things have to do with my friends?"
First, He Xiaojianqiang asked me about Xiaorui, and after I told him to give up, he began to tell me the reason why there was no woman in their family, and then talked about his yin and yang eyes, but I wouldn't think that he would say this to me for no reason. I believe that all this must have something to do with Xiaorui, especially when he thought of He Xiaojian's eyes looking at Xiaorui, he strengthened my thoughts.
He Xiaojianqiang said in a low voice: "Do you know why I told you this?"
I shook my head and thought to myself that I was wondering, isn't this asking you?
He Xiaojianqiang raised his head, looked at me, and said with a smile: "Because I'm afraid she won't remember all this, I want to say it in detail so that she should be able to remember it, mom."
I said "Ah?" for a moment, but I didn't react. He Xiaojianqiang said these words to me here, but Xiao Rui couldn't hear them. What could she remember? Besides, Xiao Rui's amnesia probably has nothing to do with him, right? Where else is there a mother from? I raised my head and looked at him with a puzzled look, but found that He Xiaojianqiang was still smiling slightly, but his eyes seemed to be not looking at me.
I suddenly felt a slump in my heart and noticed something was wrong. A chill gradually arose from my back. I turned around quickly and finally understood what He Xiaojianqiang meant and finally understood why he had to keep looking at Xiaorui.
Standing in front of me was a woman in a red dress with long hair and pale face, walking back and forth from left to right and from right to left. Perhaps I heard the sound of me turning around, I slowly stopped and looked at He Xiaojianqiang and me, with a confused look in my eyes. This woman's face was exactly the same as Xiaorui, and I knew this woman.
She was Tan Lei who suddenly appeared and mysteriously disappeared in Fengmen Village.
