Chapter 16 Let me tell you a story
Fang Xuan sent Ye Xiao to the door. Ye Xiao wanted to go to the Li family, but when he saw the lock on the door opposite, he smiled at Fang Xuan and turned around to leave.
Fang Xuan knew that there must be someone in Li's family, and Yuzhi was at home. But she didn't say it. She didn't want Li Quan to be in any trouble. Watching Ye Xiao walk away, Fang Xuan went back to the house and took out the matching key from his bedside table.
Standing at the door of Li's family, Fang Xuan looked at the window where Yuzhi always stayed. The yellowed curtains covered the window. Li Quan seemed to have changed nothing in this house, as if he did not plan to stay there for a long time.
Fang Xuan held the key and her heart beat violently. Although she was a little scared, she opened the door to the yard. She wanted to ask Yuzhi about Li Quan's gold ring, the scar on Li Quan's chest and Li Quan's fear of the sun.
.Why are they so similar to the legend Ye Chen told yesterday?
"Yuzhi," Fang Xuan shouted twice while standing in the yard. The door was locked and the house was quiet without any echo.
Fang Xuan shouted again, but still no one answered. Is Yuzhi not at home? Fang Xuan thought about it and walked to the door, took out another key and opened the door.
Sunlight shines into the main room as the door opens, and everything in the main room is clearly visible. There is still a table and two chairs placed empty in the room. Countless tiny particles are flying in the sunlight. In an instant,
Fang Xuan had the illusion that no one had ever lived in this house, and that Li Quan and Yuzhi were just shadows in her dream.
"Yuzhi, are you at home?" Fang Xuan stood at the door and called into the room. There was no one in the room, and the sound echoed in the room, which was particularly abrupt. Fang Xuan was startled by her own voice.
Is Yuzhi going out? Fang Xuan looked at the door for a while, then walked into the house. It was unbearably hot outside, but as soon as she stepped in, it was like walking into a cold storage. The whole room was cold and gloomy, and Fang Xuan immediately felt a layer of coldness on her body.
grain.
Fang Xuan reached out to touch the table and raised her hand. There was no dust on her fingers. This means that Li Quan and Yuzhi did not just appear in her dreams. If there was no one in the room, the table would be covered with dust. So what about Yuzhi man? He went out.
Li Quan pushed her out to go shopping? This is strange. Just as Fang Xuan was thinking about it, suddenly the light in front of her eyes dimmed and the door behind her closed with a creak.
Fang Xuan turned around quickly and saw Li Quan standing behind the door with a gloomy face, staring at her. "Uncle Li, you are at home." She couldn't help but leaned back, touching her chest with her hand, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest nervously.
Chest. After shouting for a long time, no one answered, and suddenly a person jumped out. Fang Xuan was very frightened.
"Are you looking for Yuzhi?" Li Quan put his hands behind his back, with a strange and scary look on his face.
"I...I called her to go to the street, but she wasn't...not here...forget it...forget it, I...I'll go back," Fang Xuan said as she walked towards the door in a panic. Now she just wanted to leave here, and Li Quan's eyes frightened her.
Maybe he should tell Ye Xiao everything he knows.
Li Quan saw Fang Xuan coming and retreated to the door, watching silently as she opened the door. Fang Xuan stretched out her hand to open the door and wanted to ask about Yuzhi, then she turned her head to Li Quan and hit her forehead with a brick.
"Uncle Li, you..." Fang Xuan looked at the brick in Li Quan's hand in shock. Before she could react, she fainted and fell to the ground.
Li Quan looked at Fang Xuan lying on the ground, with a look of guilt on his face. After staying for a moment, he dragged Fang Xuan and walked into the room on the right. There was a bed in the room with white sheets and quilt covers, where Yuzhi often stayed.
Li Quan dragged Fang Xuan into the room. There was a hole under the bed that was as wide as one person. Li Quan hugged Fang Xuan and got into the hole. After entering, he stuck out his head and lifted the wooden board next to it that was the same color as the ground.
Pull it over and cover the hole.
.....................
After a long time, Fang Xuan woke up leisurely. After opening her eyes, a very strange smell penetrated her nose. When she opened her eyes, Fang Xuan saw a half-person-high wooden barrel placed five steps away from her.
It was a bucket full of bright red liquid. The bucket was surrounded by white chrysanthemums. Li Quan stood beside the bucket and reached out to stir the liquid in the bucket.
Fang Xuan looked around. This was a 20-square-meter secret room. The walls were covered with dirt, and the floor was covered with white chrysanthemums. There was an oil lamp hanging on the wall on the right, and the big flame illuminated the secret room in darkness. Yuzhi was quiet.
She was lying in the corner opposite Fang Xuan, with white chrysanthemums scattered all over her body, as if she was dead.
"What's wrong with Yuzhi?" Fang Xuan asked nervously
"She's fine, she just fainted." As Li Quan stirred, a faint smell of blood spread into Fang Xuan's nose.
Fang Xuan stared at the liquid in the bucket in horror. She had a severe headache on her forehead. She wanted to reach out and rub it, but she was horrified to find that her hands were tied behind her back. Behind her was a pillar, and Fang Xuan's hands, feet and body were tied to the pillar.
.
"Let me go," Fang Xuan twisted her hands and feet, which were immediately bruised and painful by the rope.
"I will let you go, but not now." Li Quan picked up a drop of bright red liquid and raised his head. The red liquid filled the corners of his mouth. He swallowed the liquid and grinned at Fang Xuan. His mouth was very cracked.
, the big one showed all the teeth in his mouth.
Fang Xuan was horrified to see that two of Li Quan's innermost teeth were protruding, just like the vampires on TV, except that his canines were at the innermost and could not be seen normally, except for his special grin.
You can only see it when you are older.
"Are you...are you...a vampire?" Fang Xuan's teeth struck each other.
"Let me tell you a story." Li Quan's mouth returned to normal, and his fangs were no longer visible.
No, I don't want to hear the story, I want to go home, Fang Xuan thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of angering Li Quan, who would pounce on her and reward her.
"You want to go back? My child, you can't go back." Li Quan seemed to understand her thoughts and came over to touch her head, with a complicated expression on his face, sad and guilty.
Fang Xuan looked at Li Quan's bright red lips with fear, fearing that he would give her a bite. As soon as Li Quan approached Fang Xuan, she smelled the strong smell of blood. The smell almost made her faint. Sure enough, the barrel contained
It was blood. Fang Xuan now knew the smell that wafted over the Li family - it was a mixture of blood and white chrysanthemums. The combination of the two turned into that strange smell.
Fang Xuan was surrounded by the strong smell of blood, and all the blood on Li Quan's hands was wiped on her head. Fang Xuan shook her head in disgust. Li Quan saw Fang Xuan's hair stained with blood, and stepped back with an apologetic expression.
step.
"I messed up your hair. I didn't mean to." Li Quan said apologetically.
"What do you want to do with me? My mother and I were so good to you and Yuzhi, and I fought twice on the street for you. Is this what you want to do to me?" Li Quan walked away, and Fang Xuan became bolder.
Hearing this, Li Quan had a look of pain on his face. He was silent for a while, then leaned against the wall next to his head and said, "Listen to my story first."
After saying that, regardless of whether Fang Xuan agreed or not, she continued: "I met Yuzhi when she was only sixteen years old. I was fascinated by her the first time I saw her. She is so beautiful, so beautiful that she is unlike anyone else in the world."
Woman. Yuzhi promised to marry me when she was nineteen.
, I was so happy that I vowed to treat him well in this life and not let her suffer at all. We lived very happily after marriage. Yuzhi was gentle and considerate, and was obedient to me. In order to let Yuzhi live a good life, I started to learn to do business.
, when doing business
At that time, I met Li Wei, who sold clothes. Li Wei and I got along very well. He not only taught me how to do business, but also often asked me to bring clothes to Yuzhi. Yuzhi warned me more than once that Li Wei was a sweet-talking villain who called me
Stay away from him. I didn’t listen.
Yuzhi's words fell on deaf ears, and he hung out with Li Wei every day. Until one day when I came back from purchasing goods from other places, I found that Yuzhi and Li Wei were gone..." At this point, Li Quan sat down on the ground along the wall, his eyes
Overflowing with tears.
"I thought Yuzhi and Li Wei had eloped, but I didn't hate her. As long as Yuzhi lived a good life, I could do anything. After Yuzhi left, I got drunk all day long and indulged in alcohol all day long. Three months later, I met
When we arrived at Amao, when he saw me, he pointed at my nose and scolded me, "You are still drinking here, your Yuzhi was beaten to death." Amao told me that he met Yuzhi in a small mountain village in western Hunan. See
When they arrived at Yuzhi, Yuzhi was being beaten by several men. In the end, Yuzhi was knocked to death on a big rock. After asking around, A'mao found out that Yuzhi was tricked there by Li Wei, who forced Yuzhi to be his wife.
, Yuzhi refused to obey and was killed on a stone at the entrance of the village. Yuzhi's body was thrown into the mountains by them." Li Quan said with tears streaming down his face, his eyes full of regret. Fang Xuan looked at him sympathetically.
"After I heard this, my heart hurt like a knife. I was going to bring Yuzhi's body back. She must be very lonely in a foreign land. I took a knife, borrowed some money from your father, and went to Amao
The place I mentioned. When I found Yuzhi in the mountains, she had already turned into white bones, and all the flesh on her body had been eaten clean by wild beasts. The reason why I recognized her was because she was wearing this ring on her hand." Li Quan
He took out a ring from his arms, which was exactly the ring that Fang Xuan saw for the first time.
"Yuzhi is dead?" Fang Xuan was horrified when she heard this. Yuzhi was just a skeleton at that time. So what is Yuzhi now?
Li Quan looked at the ring, filled with grief and anger. He ignored Fang Xuan's words and continued, "That bastard Li Wei forced Yuzhi to death. I want him to pay with blood. I collected Yuzhi's bones and hid them in the mountains.
I sneaked into the village with a knife and killed that bitch. The villagers wanted to catch me for revenge, so I took Yuzhi’s body and fled deep into the mountain. The mountain was too big, and I got lost in it. In order to get Yuzhi’s body, I
After bringing the bones back, I tried my best to stay alive in the mountains. I gnawed on grass roots, competed with mountain eagles for carrion of animals, and ate anything as long as I could survive. I wandered around in the mountains like this for ten years, and finally one day
I'm desperate, I may never get out of this mountain in my lifetime." Li Quan was completely immersed in his memories, leaning against the wall, his eyes staring at the ground in despair, as if he was still in that terrifying mountain and didn't know what to do.
Where to go.
