I was listening carefully to the yin woman singing, when the scene came to this point and suddenly stopped.
When I woke up from the dream, it was already midnight. I had a soft pillow on my head and couldn't see anything. I found out after careful exploration.
I was resting on Ouyang Wei's thigh.
"Are you awake?" the little girl whispered, wiping the cold sweat from my forehead with her hand.
I asked her: "It's this middle of the night. Are your bare legs not cold?"
"It's not cold." Ouyang Wei raised my head and fed me some water.
"Grandma has gone to bed, but she looks very weak." Ouyang Wei sighed: "Uncle Ma said that the old immortal whom grandma worshiped is dead, and her brother Ma has lost her power."
My heart twitched. My grandfather was gone. If grandma left again... I didn't dare to think about it.
Ouyang Wei touched my face: "Where are your parents?"
"I have no parents." I stared at the darkness in front of me: "I am an abandoned baby that grandma picked up from the graveyard."
Ouyang Wei shook her head after hearing this: "How pitiful."
"It's okay." She pressed her finger gently on my lips: "You still have me."
Her hands smell good.
I told her about my experience in the underworld.
After hearing this, Ouyang Wei was silent for a moment and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? There is really an engagement between us."
I turned over and looked at her: "Is your father back?"
"No." Ouyang Wei's voice darkened, and her nose suddenly became sore: "I haven't heard from my father for a long time. He only left me a letter, saying that he was going downstairs to pick up something."
"My father also said that if he doesn't come back, he will let me come to you to get married."
Worried about her father's comfort, Ouyang Wei asked me anxiously: "Go on, what happens next?"
"Has my uncle defeated the Yin woman? Where did my father go in the end?"
I shook my head: "I woke up after dreaming about this."
Ouyang Wei was silent and choked for a moment, then said:
"After reading my father's letter, I came to see you."
"Originally, when I heard that you were blind, I wanted to leave, but the matchmaker insisted on letting me sit in the house."
Ouyang Wei said softly: "After I entered the house, I kept silent and watched you secretly until dark..."
I said, "You really scared me that day."
Ouyang Wei bit her lip: "My feeling is that you are different from ordinary men. Now that the Internet is so developed, there are all kinds of handsome guys, young chicks, etc. I have already vomited."
"You are very clean, do you know that? At that time, you were meditating on the kang, with silky white hair spread all over your shoulders. The afternoon sun shone on the side of your face, but you were completely unaware of the feeling of being reclusive and out of the world. , seems extremely unreal.”
"What were you thinking at that time?" Ouyang Wei asked me with great interest.
I recalled: "I wanted to fart in a harsh way, but I held back because it was unnecessary."
Ouyang Wei pinched my nose: "No matter how beautiful the picture is, when it comes to your mouth, it will be forced to be grounded, and it will be boring!"
My thoughts returned to the underworld: "There's something I can't figure out."
"Your father took my grandpa down to the underworld to fight for black physiognomy. He took such a big risk and paid such a high price just to get my grandpa to agree to our marriage?"
"You want to say that I am a rich second generation, a big internet celebrity or something like that, but I am obviously just a poor and blind rural man."
"What did your father do for this?"
Ouyang Wei must know the reason for this, but she refuses to say it.
I didn’t ask again.
…
Ma Yi has been staying at my house these days.
Ouyang Wei said that Ma Yi stayed in the house by himself every day and rarely went out.
During these days, grandma has aged a lot, and she is always muttering unconsciously:
"Snake phase, snake phase..."
I got a call from Song Laowai. After he moved back as I told him, several things happened.
His son had been defrauded before. That day, the police received news that everyone had recovered the stolen goods and all the money had been recovered. They notified his son to come and collect it.
The daughter-in-law no longer wants a divorce.
The man who had an affair with Song Laowai before actually got into a car accident and went directly to the underworld.
His mother-in-law was also discharged from the hospital. The doctor said it was nothing serious and she could just go home and recover in half a year.
All the bad luck disappeared overnight.
Song Laowai kept thanking me on the phone. I just said a few words and hung up.
These days, I have been feeling restless, frightened and helpless. My right eye keeps twitching, and I always feel like something big is going to happen.
I'm waiting for that dream.
I want to know, who is the winner in the battle between the uncle and the yin woman?
Did grandpa finally get the magic of black physiognomy?
What is the whereabouts of Ouyang Jie?
Ke Meng, but has not come yet.
On this day, Ma Yi and I discussed the topic of the underworld.
What I didn't expect was that Ma Yi actually believed that the underworld did not exist at all.
"The underworld is superstition!" Ma Yi wrote lightly:
"When this person dies, it's like shutting down a computer. All consciousness and memory disappear into nothingness, and he will never wake up."
"Where is the underworld?"
I savored Ma Yi's words carefully, and suddenly felt a deep sleepiness. I was shocked and hurried back to my room.
As soon as the door closed, I fell to the ground.
When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the dark corridor.
My great-uncle was standing in front of Room 204, confronting the sinister woman in the room.
Looking out through the window, the fog has faded a lot, and the paper dust all over the mountains and plains is like goose feathers and heavy snow, floating all over the sky and the earth.
The surroundings were extremely cold, and I was shivering from the cold. I hid at the top of the stairs with Ouyang Jie, staring at direction 204.
The Yin woman finished her performance and walked out slowly.
I finally saw clearly that she was a very ordinary young woman, of medium height and thin. Apart from her pale complexion, there was nothing particularly scary about her facial features.
Her clothes were old and stained with ashes, and her face was covered with black mold spots.
Her whole person looked like an old black and white photo that had been forgotten in a corner and covered with cobwebs.
The only thing that was wrong was that the woman's clothes were all on backwards.
The buttons and trouser belts all went to the back.
The same goes for shoes, with the heel in front and the toe in the back.
This made her whole person feel indescribably eerie and strange.
After the Yin woman went out, she always lowered her head and remained silent.
The great-uncle nodded and bowed, and kept bowing to the woman: "I am your next-door neighbor, and I want to ask you for a title."
"Look at me, do I look like a human being?"
That Yin woman probably didn't expect that Huang Pizi's request for a title would actually come on her head?
Huang Pizi's request for a title is actually a very despicable technique, because no matter whether your answer is similar or not, you will be tricked. A living person will lose his Yang life span, and a dead person will lose his Yin life span.
The Yin woman lowered her head, smiled, and raised her fingers at her uncle and grandma: "You want to know? Come on, I'll tell you."
Her voice was very ethereal and echoed loudly in the corridor.
The great-uncle was a little afraid of the other party and hesitated to step forward. The Yin woman kept calling her: "Come on, don't be afraid."
When her uncle and grandma came closer, the Yin woman put her mouth close to her ear and said word by word:
"Listen carefully."
"One day, you will die in the hands of a blind man, and he will skin you and make it into shoe mats."
"But only wear it once and then throw it away."
