Listening to the muttering rumors of the meat ghost, Li and I finally crossed the yard and came to the door back to back.
Li opened the door again, and the two of us felt like we had fallen in without success.
Fortunately, I stabilized myself in time, turned around and closed the door.
Only then did I dare to open my eyes.
The first thing that came into sight was the figure of the woman outside the window.
The figure clings to the window, hazy and depressed.
Li Si: [I harmed her]
Me: "What happened back then?"
Regarding my question, Li Si kept silent and seemed not to want to talk about it.
I looked around and found that this room was not the same room as the last time I came here.
The layout of this room is clearly that of a couple.
Because someone comes to clean it from time to time, there is no thick dust on those tables and chairs.
A portrait on the wall behind the table caught my attention.
Under the red maple leaves, a beautiful couple looks at each other with deep friendship.
The man's face was as handsome as a crown, and his black hair was loose. At his feet was a little doll carved from pink and jade that was holding his thigh.
The little doll is like the festive Fuwa dolls in the paintings of that year, with a red cotton-padded jacket and a collar bound with white velvet.
The woman had black hair and light clothes, and just leaning against the man was enough to show off her stunning figure.
It's just that the woman's face is missing, that area seems to have been wiped away, leaving only blank spaces on her facial features.
Li Youyou said: "This is my parents' room, but my mother has never entered this room since then."
"The portraits on the wall are of my father and my mother. During that sudden incident, any portraits of my mother's face were strangely erased, but my mother's appearance is still in my memory."
Li Si: [You will meet, it won’t be long]
Li You responded unceremoniously: "Your limbs are still scattered now."
Now Li has collected Li Si's right leg, left hand, left calf, and Li Si's head under the Bandai Monument.
Li Si didn't say anything in response to Li Youyou.
I feel like there seems to be some distance and conflict between the father and daughter.
Even though Li You had been collecting Li Si's stumps, she did not show too much joy or enthusiasm towards Li Si.
Li Si said to me: [There is a box under the bed, go and take it out]
"That bed?" I pointed to the bed that was big enough for two people to lie down on.
Li Si: [Hmm... black wooden box]
I got under the bed, reached out and touched something in the shape of a box, and then pulled it out.
The box is a one meter long rectangle with a layer of white ash on the lid that I will blow off. The pattern on the surface is revealed.
I looked around and found that the box didn't have a lock or anything like that, and it wouldn't work to force it open.
Li Si: [It can’t be opened without brute force, leave it to me]
At this moment, there was a crunch, and the Red Devil's Victory Box opened.
Li Youwen came forward with the box in his arms, stretched out his withered hand, and tapped the surface of the box with his long black nails several times.
Then put your fingers together and use your fingertips as a pen to write straight down on the surface of the box.
Snap......The box has a clear upward movement, and a thick black line opens at the closed end.
I opened the box and found that there were only some clothes inside. Judging from the size of the clothes, they should be for children.
Li saw Weiwei was touched again: "This is my...clothes...".
Li Si: [You got tired of wearing these clothes and threw them away. Every year I picked up one piece of clothing and put it in. Each piece of clothing records your growth]
[It’s just that my record is interrupted, and so is your growth]
[What I want is inside, under the clothes]
This time, Yu Li took out the clothes again. The clothes were stacked neatly.
The clothes he took out were handed to me casually.
I picked up one and took a look at it. The fabrics had lost some of their toughness after being left for such a long time, and they felt like they would break if I tore them lightly.
Just when I was thinking like this, I accidentally got too strong and tore off the sleeve of a small cotton-padded jacket.
I looked helpless carrying the torn clothes.
Li looked back again and said: "Nothing, these are just old things. You can throw them away or put them aside. There is no need to worry about them."
"These are things that carry memories, so I'd better keep them." I carefully placed them on the table aside and quickly took another piece of clothing.
After some rummaging, Li found another blood-red cloth bag folded squarely in the box.
She was a little curious: "I knew that there was this box under the bed before, but I never knew that the box had this cloth bag. What is this cloth bag?".
Li Si: [empty]
Li frowned again and opened the cloth bag with skillful hands.
After the cloth bag was opened, it was indeed empty inside. The cloth bag was just cloth stacked together.
But when the cloth is spread out, it really makes people’s eyes shine.
The red cloth was about one meter long, rough in texture and irritating to the hand.
But this piece of cloth has withstood the ravages of time. It has been left in the box for so long without any damage, and its toughness has not been lost.
The cloth is not simply red, but has numerous gold and ink outlines with complicated scriptures.
The scriptures have no order, are large or small, and have strange shapes, like animals and people, and they are different from each other. Dense golden characters are scattered everywhere, and there is something strange in the solemnity.
At first glance, these characters appear messy and dizzy. I cannot understand them at all, nor can I try to understand the literal meaning.
Even if you close your eyes after taking a look, those runes will appear in your mind, like beating little people running around, swelling, and swimming irregularly for a long time.
This reminds me of Li Si's two shots at Longmen Jiujia.
At that time, Li Si suppressed the flesh ghost and once read a passage that was complicated and incomprehensible.
Does that scripture have anything to do with the red cloth?
But this red cloth probably belongs to Li Si?
Li Si: [Put it away, don’t try to interpret the scriptures, they will not benefit you]
[This piece of cloth will be useful when untying the Yin marriage contract]
After taking back the red cloth, I put the old clothes back into the box and pushed the box back under the bed.
The red cloth is temporarily in my custody for safety.
There is the forbidden ghost outside, and Li Si's stumps inside.
I think this is the safest place in the entire Li family.
It was late at night, and Li curled up on the chair again, looking straight at the figure outside the window.
The Red Evil Box and the iron box containing the right leg were placed on the table.
I leaned on the bed and chatted with her about my experience in the Longmen Jiujia, from meeting the flesh ghost, to Suanni's incident, and then to the Longmenjiujia incident.
Talking about Jiupo's final ending, he became one person with Suanniu.
She looked slightly worried: "She still didn't wait until...".
"Maybe you shouldn't interfere with her."
I leaned my head against the wall and sighed, "How could I have avoided it even if it was caused unintentionally?"
"Perhaps the next generation of Wu Xin will also help my Wu Xin make up for his mistakes and make up for his mistakes."
