Chapter 29 The Bride in the Photograph
Because I heard that Leng Yue also came here to look for Henry Zhang, I began to doubt whether this Henry Zhang was the hypnotist I met that day. I asked the tricycle master: "Does this Henry Zhang have a sister?"
When I asked this question, my heart kept beating, for fear of hearing an answer I didn't want to hear from him. The tricycle master answered me quickly and said, "No." After a pause,
I heard him say again: "However, after that man came to see him more than ten years ago, I did often hear him say that he had a sister. He probably had a more serious illness in his head. Everyone in my hometown knew the truth. He
There is no sister."
This was the second time I heard from him that someone had approached Henry Zhang more than ten years ago. It seemed that this person had left a deep impression on him. I also became curious and asked: "That person more than ten years ago
You still remember him so clearly, is he weird?"
The tricycle master said: "The man is not strange, but his name is a bit strange. He was also riding in my car that time. I heard him talking to himself in the car, saying what a coincidence, the name of our place happened to be the same as his, so I
Just remember it.”
I was shocked, leaned forward, raised my voice, and asked, "You said this person's name is the same as the name of the place here?"
The master said: "Yes, I asked him his name specifically, and he said his surname was Chu."
This place is called Jiangshan City. The man's surname is Chu, and his name is the same as the place name here.
In my hypnotic world, Chu Jiangshan is dead, but in the real world, his shadow exists everywhere. I can't see him, but he always exists, in the corner that I can't see, controlling my every move.
.
Shanshan didn't know about my experience, and all she could think of was the few manuscripts in her hand. So although she knew that her brother's disappearance was related to Chu Jiangshan, she didn't have a big reaction to the name.
His expression was slightly surprised. He looked at me and said worriedly: "Arui, what's wrong with you?"
I waved my hand and said: "It's okay", and then tried to calm down. Chu Jiangshan came here more than ten years ago and took away Xiao Yang. After everyone thought that Xiao Yang had disappeared and reported the case, Xiao Yang again
He returned home and began to say that he had a sister. It was more than ten years ago, could it be eleven years ago? Where did Chu Jiangshan take Henry Zhang?
In the hypnotic world, Henry Zhang told me that I took his sister to Fengmen Village and killed her. I have always believed these words, but when I found out that Henry Zhang was just a person left by others.
When a shadow appeared in my mind, I suddenly felt that my whole world had collapsed, and I could no longer find any hope of exploring it, unless I found the legendary Chu Jiang Mountain.
At this moment, I noticed that Shanshan's face looked a little ugly, and I hurriedly asked her what was wrong. Shanshan looked at me and said, "I think maybe this Henry Zhang really has a sister."
I was stunned for a moment, but looking at the sadness on Shanshan's face, I suddenly understood what she meant: Yang Zijiang never had a sister, but she brought back two girls who were exactly like him from outside. If Yang Zijiang can do it, why should Xiao
Can't it be Yang?
I looked at Shanshan, and she looked at me, and then they both said one sentence at the same time: "Fengmen Village!"
Chu Jiangshan must have taken Xiao Yang to Fengmen Village. Maybe this is the secret of No. 73, and this is the secret of Fengmen Village. Then because of this secret, eleven people went to Fengmen Village together, and all of them disappeared in the end.
When I thought of this, I suddenly remembered that there was no woman in that photo. In other words, the sister Henry Zhang mentioned did not exist. There was a man who looked very similar to Henry Zhang, or even Henry Zhang.
In itself, there are no plots in this world where women disguise themselves as men, so how to explain all this?
I have some headaches about this problem, but it is obviously not something I can figure out now. I did not ask the tricycle master Chu Jiangshan what he looked like. His photo can still be found online, but his person has disappeared and no one has
Can't find him.
The car stopped and the master said: "The alley in front is inaccessible. Just go in and the third house on the left is." I thanked him, paid the fare, and walked forward with Shanshan.
While walking, I thought for a while about what I should do if I saw Leng Yue. Ever since Leng Yue entered Fengmen Village, she had begun to exhibit many strange behaviors. Sometimes I even wonder, what is Leng Yue doing now?
Or not alone?
The alley is a bit deep, and the sun can shine into it, but for some unknown reason, she even feels a little cold on her body. Shanshan can't help but lean against me. This has become her subconscious action. I know that she must be
I'm afraid, maybe because I'm afraid of facing Leng Yue, but no matter what, I have to face what I have to face.
We soon saw the third house, but we didn’t go in because there was a Taishi chair near the door, with a person sitting on it. The house faced south and north, and the sun came through the west window and fell on him.
, he is the Henry Zhang we are looking for.
When I looked at him, it was just like what I saw in the hypnosis world. He was wearing glasses and he didn't look stupid at all.
He was also looking at me, and I didn't feel wrong. He was only looking at me, not Shanshan. It was as if I was the only one in his eyes. Being stared at by his eyes made me feel cold for no reason.
I am certain that this person is the hypnotist I saw in the hypnosis world. It is a strange feeling and there is no mistaking it.
We were facing each other like this, and I was thinking about how to talk to him, because I had never communicated with a fool, but Henry Zhang suddenly spoke, and he said: "Are you here?"
I was stunned for a moment, but he greeted me so calmly, and he didn't look like a fool at all. My heart suddenly became excited, and I nodded hurriedly and said, "Do you know me?"
The expression on Henry Zhang's face began to soften, and he said: "Do you think my pair of embroidered shoes look good?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at his feet. He was wearing a pair of ordinary sneakers, but
It's red.
I had an ominous premonition, as if there was something wrong with Henry Zhang's brain in front of me, but these few words he said made me not give up completely. I decided to go along with what he meant, so I nodded and said:
"It looks good, it looks good."
The tenderness on Xiao Yang's face gradually faded, and he looked at me blankly and said, "Then why did you kill me! Do you like that woman very much?" As he said that, he stood up and walked towards me.
I was startled and hurriedly took a step back. Henry Zhang looked so much like a ghost, but I couldn't do anything to him, otherwise he would be charged with beating a mentally retarded person. If I was reluctant to leave him like this, I could only
While retreating, he said: "You are mistaken, it's not me, it's definitely not me."
Henry Zhang continued to walk forward and said: "You liked her embroidered shoes, so I also put on the embroidered shoes, but you still killed me. I like to listen to operas, so I wrote operas for you to sing."
I just started singing babblingly, and the text of the play was still a part that I was very familiar with: "I was originally a beautiful girl who was shy and beautiful..."
As I backed away, I quickly sorted out the information I got in my mind. From the analysis of the opera sung by Henry Zhang, he seemed to have homosexual tendencies and fell in love with me, but I didn't have the same hobbies as him. What I liked was
There was another woman, this woman liked to wear red embroidered shoes, and in the end I killed Henry Zhang. Things seemed to be getting more and more confusing. Not to mention that I don’t remember that memory, even if I really don’t like homosexuals, I don’t
It is impossible to kill people for this reason. More importantly: now that I have killed Henry Zhang, who is this person in front of me? If he was possessed by a ghost, then who was the person I killed in the first place? Is it really possible?
Is there a sister of Xiao Yang? But how to explain the line in the play, "She was originally a shy and beautiful girl, but she mistakenly gave birth to a male child." This should obviously be a play sung by a man.
My head is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, I have been forced into the corner by Henry Zhang. If I don’t hit him, there will really be no way out for a while. Shanshan seems to have never experienced the situation in front of her, and there is something unexpected about it.
I was so frightened that I stood there and didn’t know how to come over to help. At this moment, a person rushed out of the room, took Henry Zhang’s hand and said, “Go back.”
I was finally out of danger and breathed a sigh of relief. When I saw clearly who was rushing out of the room, I couldn't help shouting: "Leng Yue!"
The person who rushed out of the room was Leng Yue. She might have just rushed out when she heard the noise while taking a bath, so although it was very cold outside, she was only wrapped in a bath towel. When she saw Shanshan and me, she ordered
Nodding, he held Henry Zhang's hand but did not relax. Facing the outside, he stepped back into the house step by step. The expression on his face was as if he was facing an enemy. After he retreated behind the door, he slammed the door.
Close it, and then a cold voice comes from inside, saying: "I'll change my clothes first, and I'll open the door later."
I looked at the door blankly, thinking that even if Leng Yue said that I was a pervert and a pervert from the beginning, I have never really perverted you. There is absolutely no need to treat me like this. Could it be that I would change my clothes if you changed my clothes?
Go peeping? Are you afraid of me peeping but not afraid of Henry Zhang peeping? Thinking like this, I feel really wronged. I turned my head to look at Shanshan, wanting to see her reaction, but at this moment, I discovered that Shanshan
His face became even paler, and with a thought in his heart, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shanshan's body began to tremble slightly. She looked at me and said, "I was standing behind her just now." I nodded. When Leng Yue rushed out, she directly went to hold Henry Zhang's hand, but Shanshan was originally
I stood closer to the door, but at this time I was forced to retreat to the wall by Xiao Yang. Leng Yue rushed out and was right between me and Shanshan. She was facing me, and Shanshan was right next to her.
behind.
I looked at Shanshan with doubts and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shanshan said: "She was wrapped in a bath towel. I saw her back. There was a mark on it, which was the same as the one on Director Zhang's back."
My heart sank. Director Zhang’s back was injured by the mallet in the hands of the old woman who was washing clothes. Did Leng Yue have the same experience as Director Zhang? Why did the old woman say something that day? Didn't you say anything?
I felt Shanshan shivering more and more violently, and she said: "Arui, do you think Leng Yue might have..." I knew what she meant. I even had such an idea not long ago, but I still shook it off. He shook his head and said, "No problem, when have you ever seen a dead person running around alive in front of you?"
As soon as I said this sentence, I suddenly stiffened. I knew that I had indeed seen dead people appearing in front of me. Director Zhang had also seen it. Someone told me that even if you become a ghost, you can still walk in the sunshine. Next, just put the body in a small coffin with "Nine Yin Condensation Formation" engraved on it.
Yang Zijiang was not lying in such a coffin, but he still appeared in front of me alive and kicking. Since the "Nine Yin Condensation Formation" has such an effect, will other things also have such an effect? Could this be Fengmen? The secret of the village?
If every dead person could appear in front of me, would Director Zhang also be a dead person? Would he also be hiding something from us?
I couldn’t imagine it anymore. It seemed that everyone was untrustworthy. At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Leng Yue had already put on her clothes. She stood at the door and said, "Come in."
I hurriedly gave up those miscellaneous thoughts. It was useless to think about them at this time. No matter whether Leng Yue was dead or not, I wanted to see if I could find any useful information from her. As I walked into the house with Shanshan, While comforting myself in my heart: So what if she is dead, I can't beat her if she is alive anyway, she will only be abused.
The house is very big inside. It is an old-fashioned house, a typical Hui-style building. There is a patio inside. The Taishi chair originally placed at the door has been taken into the hall by Leng Yue. Xiao Yang doesn’t know where he went. Leng Yue sits on it. On that Taishi chair, he looked at us and said, "Don't ask me what happened that day, I won't tell you. Just tell me what I'm doing here."
Her tone seemed to be interrogating a prisoner, but I didn't pay attention to it. Only then did I notice that Leng Yue was wearing a red down jacket. There were no lights in the hall, and the light inside was a bit dark. Leng Yue was sitting on the Taishi chair. I couldn't see her face clearly. At that moment, I seemed to see the mirror I saw in Fengmen Village again. There was a headless person sitting on a master's chair. She was wearing red clothes.
I thought to myself: Could Leng Yue be such a headless person, and then turn into a person who can walk in the sun, sit in front of me and talk to me?
I didn't want to talk to her in such an atmosphere. Even though I was scared, I took two steps forward and could look at her face and communicate. This would at least make me feel better. But at this moment, I I saw a photo hanging above the hall. I was very familiar with that photo. I had seen it at the bottom of a well in Fengmen Village. It showed a couple getting married. The groom was Yang Zijiang, and the bride’s face had been gouged out. .
I stared at the photo and even forgot to ask Leng Yue.
