Chapter 15 For your sake
There has been no movement outside. I am used to knocking on the door at night, and I am used to people around me dying without warning, but it is difficult for me to get used to this kind of night and this kind of rain.
Although I told myself countless times that I couldn’t open the door at night or see strangers.
But when I came back to my senses, the man had already walked to the door and grabbed the doorknob with his fingers. As the door opened, a pale face washed by the rain appeared in front of me.
Almost subconsciously, I picked up the broom next to me and was about to take action. There was a thunder outside, which made the faces of the people outside even paler. Then I heard Huilian's almost roaring voice: "It's me."
"Huilian?" I looked at the woman in front of me in disbelief. It was hard to believe that the woman with the scent on her body would be related to the woman in front of me.
However, without giving me a chance to be in a daze, Huilian pushed me away, walked into the room all wet, and sat on the bed board where several people had died, because Lao Sun had just died not long ago, and the colleagues who accompanied me to work had not yet been found.
.
Seeing me staring at her, Huilian sneered and wringed the water stains from her hair with her hands.
Those eyes were filled with poison, and the stare made people scared: "Did someone die again?"
"Someone died again?" I realized later that the matter was not simple, so I picked up the small stool and sat next to Huilian, looking at Huilian seriously.
There were more than a dozen people who went to the grave, but no one survived except Huilian and me.
Moreover, it was Huilian who proposed to go to the grave in the first place.
I'm very curious, what is Huilian's purpose?
Huilian looked at me sideways. After being humidified by the rain, the smell on his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
I feel like the whole house is filled with the smell of Huilian.
Rubbing her nose uncomfortably: "Huilian, what do you know?"
"I don't know anything." Huilian put away her eyes and sat opposite me.
My eyes were fixed on a certain place outside the window. I walked over, followed Huilian's line of sight, and then saw the center position.
Four people died in this room, and something was reborn in that place.
I still remember what Huilian said, that the tomb owner was only seriously injured, and my cousin said that he just sealed the thing.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. When I turned around, Huilian had already taken the jade Ruyi around my neck into her hands and was playing with it. Under the light, the piece was all white.
The jade stone exudes soft light.
"Give it to me." I frowned and subconsciously wanted to take it back. Huilian turned around and was some distance away from me.
He glanced at me disdainfully and said, "If it weren't for this, I'm still not sure."
"Only..." Huilian said as she suddenly remembered something. In the end, she didn't finish her sentence and threw the jade pendant into my arms. She didn't say anything and just lay on the opposite side.
I was a little stunned, huddled in the corner and looked at Huilian, frowned and said, "Are you sleeping here tonight?"
"Why, no?" Huilian looked calm. After saying this, she didn't speak again and turned her back to me.
I looked at the sky and was speechless.
I don’t know whether the fragrance of Huilian has the function of helping me sleep, or whether my nerves have been tense for a long time, and I haven’t felt at ease for a long time. I slept very peacefully that night.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside, and there was a fishy smell in the room. Huilian was nowhere to be found, so I casually put on a coat and went outside.
From a distance, I saw Huilian holding a compass and fiddling with something unknown. She changed into a set of black loose clothes with unknown random things on it.
I couldn't understand, so I just covered my mouth, yawned and asked casually: "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you curious why those around you cannot escape the fate of death in the end?"
After Huilian asked this question, my face became very embarrassed and I tightened my hands. The depressing feeling from last night came back again. I looked at Huilian coldly.
But she didn't seem to care, and kept mumbling something about not knowing what she was looking for in the cemetery.
I understand that given Huilian's character, it is impossible for him to tell me anything, and even if he tells me, I may not be able to understand him.
I turned around and was about to change my clothes and go to town to play cards. At the same time, I felt a pain in my shoulder. The stone hit me squarely on my shoulder. The force was not heavy, but it was enough to knock me down.
Then Huilian stood in front of me, with a hidden smile on her once delicate and heart-warming face.
She looked at me condescendingly and said word by word: "If I want to find it, you have to help me."
"Why me?" After asking this question, Huilian picked me up, looked at the sky, and quietly pulled me to wait with her.
Just like that, at night, Huilian slowly opened her eyes. The needle on the compass stopped at a certain place accurately. Huilian pulled me up.
Then I pricked my index finger with a mahogany needle, and the red liquid flowed onto the compass. The compass rotated rapidly, and I saw that the needle finally stopped in the southwest direction.
The southwest direction is the direction where Lao Sun and others died.
Before I had time to think about it, Huilian asked me to go out with her. I looked at the time and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Well, I won't go out at night." After hesitating for a moment, for the sake of my own life, I told Huilian.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huilian forced me to drag me outside regardless of my refusal.
The cemetery was windy at this time, and I didn’t feel anything unusual during the day. But at night, I really felt something strange that I couldn’t describe. There was a dull pain in the place where the peach wood had pricked me. I covered my hands and followed Zai Hui carefully.
Behind the lotus.
To the southwest of the central location, faintly visible from here is a toilet.
Huilian walked to that place minding her own business, then placed the compass beside it, and took out yellow paper, as well as incense burners and other things like tricks.
I saw Huilian kneeling on the ground, muttering something, and the incense that was originally inserted in the incense burner was lit without any warning. That operation really blinded me.
The former atheist can now only be described as a man of admiration.
Then Huilian began to burn the yellow paper beside her, and the face that flickered in and out looked a bit strange.
I don't know how long it took, but a gust of cold wind blew up, blowing the unburned yellow paper on the ground into the sky.
At the same time, Huilian stood up suddenly. It only took a few seconds. Huilian had already reached my side, looked at me, and then pricked my finger with a mahogany needle again.
I clearly saw that the peach wood needle turned red from the original wood.
"What's going on?" I was a little stunned. After living for half my life, I still haven't discovered that my blood has such a function?
"You don't know it's normal." Huilian smiled and said, "Do you know why those people would rather let the people around you die than hurt you?"
Huilian said cryptically, and then regardless of my stunned expression, she inserted the mahogany needle into the southwest corner accurately.
The yellow paper that originally flew into the sky slowly fell to the ground. Huilian slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the messy things on the ground and went back home.
I looked at Huilian's actions in confusion. Until I entered the room, Huilian had no intention of explaining.
Huilian was sweating profusely, as if she had been stimulated by something. I couldn't bear to look at it, so I went forward and poured her a glass of boiling water, sat next to Huilian and smiled: "What's wrong?"
"You should know your life experience, right?" Huilian tilted her head and looked at me seriously.
I have to say that Huilian is really beautiful and delicate under normal circumstances.
I heard a little bit from my mother, but I only know that my ancestors went to the tomb. Later, something happened and I met my mother, washed my hands in the golden basin, and became an ordinary citizen.
But I don't understand what this has to do with what Huilian did just now.
After thinking about it, I nodded and casually covered the wound with a band-aid.
"I know a little bit, but what does this have to do with what you just did?"
"Can you help me find it?" Huilian said that sentence again. I wanted to ask more, but in the end I felt it was inappropriate.
Huilian seemed extremely tired and weak, leaning against the wall limply.
I almost didn't sleep all night. It was dark and it felt like it was raining heavily outside.
I frowned, and when I pushed open the window, my wrist was held by Huilian, and at the same time, the door was kicked open.
My cousin threw the incense burner to the ground, and then slapped me hard on the face. He was furious, and there was a rare anger on his fat face.
"Damn it, do you know what you're doing?"
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" I was confused, covering my face blankly, not understanding why I was so beaten.
Weird things happen every year, especially this year?
Or is he his nephew and deserves to be beaten?
"What's wrong with me?"
My cousin was furious. When he saw my injured finger again, he finally couldn't help it. He pushed me away and walked into the house. When he saw Huilian, he grabbed her collar and said in a harsh tone, "Get out of here."
.”
"I tell you, from now on..."
"I will leave without you chasing me away." Huilian opened her eyes and looked at her cousin calmly. With her overly slender fingers, she grabbed her cousin's hand and put it down.
Then he sneered and said, "You know better than me why you let him come here in the first place."
"I'm just making him useful. This is his ability, and it's also his vocation."
Huilian finished saying this coldly, looked at me complicatedly, and said only one sentence before leaving: "It will be a full moon night in three days, and I will come back to find you."
After Huilian said this, she turned and left.
From beginning to end, my cousin never explained anything to me. When I was about to ask, my cousin rubbed his brows with a tired look and said without looking at me: "You don't have to ask me."
"I just want to tell you that I am your relative. No matter what I do, it is for your good and your mother's good."
After my cousin said this, he turned around and went outside.
