44. The dark village
44. The dark village
The next day, he returned the bones, and I was still hanging there. He asked me what I said that day. I prompted him.
"There seems to be a blue dot on the deputy mayor."
He was shocked and didn't say anything until he left.
Actually, I don't want to remind Xin Jin that Vice Mayor Zhao mentioned me in his diary, and I don't want to get involved in this again. What I have been thinking about is whether the dream of Vice Mayor Zhao is real or not. What does this dream foreshadow?
A week after Xinjin found me, he took a printed manuscript and handed it to me.
That's a novel written by Xin Zhiqiang, and it is also some novels about Shuiling. It should be the second one.
These dozen pages of manuscripts mention dreams. After all, they are writers and are written in detail. Part of the dream is the same as what Vice Mayor Zhao said. It can be seen that the dream mentioned by Vice Mayor Zhao should have really happened.
It seems that this matter is not that simple, and it has a spreading nature. It seems that Vice Mayor Zhao has been controlled by something. I sit in the store thinking about these things every day and feel that everything seems to have only officially happened now.
The second master, the gravekeeper, is probably the end of the old tomb. His energy is limited. Maybe I have embarked on the road of gravekeeper like this.
Gu Ye is very patient to do those things every day. She seems to be very happy, but I really don't know whether she is happy or not. I know very little about new people. Although I am new people, my understanding of new people is not even as good as Xin Jin.
Xin Zhiqiang still found me. He asked me about the new man, but I refused. That day, I saw two blue dots on his arm, and I felt weird and horrible. The blue dots seemed to grow on me.
I remembered that there were six blue dots on the back of my grandmother's hand. She told me that she made it herself, pricked it with a needle, and then made it up with a blue pen. At first, I didn't feel anything, but now I feel so terrible. I think the six blue dots in my grandmother's hand are real, and Xin Zhi The blue dot on the strong hand is false, but terrible.
That day, I felt that everything was out of my control. I closed the antique store and took Gu Ye to the village. I was going to live there for a while.
Gu Ye seems to be very adaptable to all kinds of life.
I sat at the window and looked out. The second master liked to sit here. Sitting here, I saw the old lady's tomb. At night, Gu Ye fell asleep. I saw that someone seemed to be walking on the village road. I couldn't see it clearly. I just couldn't judge whether it was even a person, but there was indeed something moving.
I quietly went downstairs, opened the door and went out. There is nothing on the village road. Maybe I misread it. When I returned and entered the yard, I saw a black thing in the yard. I was so scared that I couldn't see what it was.
I didn't touch that thing. I turned into the room, locked the door and went upstairs. It was not until dawn that I opened the door. The pile of things was like mud. In the middle of the yard, I saw clearly and still didn't know what it was.
Gu Ye came out and felt strange to see this pile of black things, but she didn't ask, just looked at me and went to cook.
She is always so quiet, sometimes quiet and scary.
We had dinner, and I asked Gu Ye to stay in the house and not go to the yard. I went to Lord Yanli.
Master Yan fell asleep in the yard, but he actually forgot to close the door, which may be due to his old age. When I went in, Master Brickly woke up. He looked at me and smiled at me.
"I know you're back."
"Master Yi is still so energetic."
"Old man, sleep for a while, sleep for a while."
Mr. Yi stood up and poured the tea for me. I took a sip and almost vomited. It was too bitter.
"Master, I'm in trouble."
"What's the matter?"
"Last night, there were some things in the yard, black mud."
Master Yi jumped up, which made me trembling, and then I broke out in a cold sweat. I knew that I must have been in trouble.
When Master Yiyi sat down again, his face was solemn. He did not mention this matter, but asked me about it.
"Hasn't your second master come back?"
"No."
Mr. Yi just said "Oh" and didn't say anything for a long time, and I didn't ask again. When he told me that I was sleepy, I left. I didn't know anything from Mr. Yi. I still expected him to help me. It seems that I can't counten it.
When I returned to the yard, the black mud actually changed its shape. When I left, I didn't have a shape. Now it seems to have become a little square. This thing can actually change, and my hair has stood up.
Gu Ye is making tea in the house, and she seems to be used to doing these.
I sat in a chair in a daze, and I don't think the pile of mud in the yard is anything good. I wanted to get it out and stood up.
When I walked to the yard, it was on the wall, like mud on the wall, and it was spreading on the wall.
That kind of black is penetrating, and I have never seen such black.
I entered the house and don't know how it will develop in the future.
When Xin came in, I was sitting in front of the window and saw him coming in from the village road. I asked Gu Ye to open the door. He came upstairs and put his things on the table. He brought me a few bottles of wine.
"Mr. Xin, please sit down."
After Xin Jin sat down, Gu Ye poured tea and went down.
"I came to ask you today. Last time you reminded me, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome now. There are three blue dots on my son Zhiqiang's arm, and there is always a scene in his dream, which is always guiding him."
After he finished speaking, he handed me a few pages of paper, which was the next novel.
I looked at it, and sweat came down. It was really about Shuiling. It was a scene of Shuiling, but he didn't know what was guiding. The dead deputy mayor Zhao was also at a loss.
However, I can feel a strong force behind me, and know what happened. The death of Deputy Mayor Zhao is definitely an accurate calculation. There is nothing wrong with a car accident, but just as this force knows, it is accurate. In the dream, it implies that Vice Mayor Zhao will go to a place, that A place must pass by there, and the car accident happened there. I sweated in my back, the wind blew in, and I shuddered.
Xin Jin looked at me, put down a few pages of paper and stood at the window.
At this time, I knew that Shuiling was not only as simple as setting certain organs, but also seemed to have a power, a bottomless power.
The second master told me that after thousands of years of mausoleums and a hundred years of tombs, it is better not to touch them. They will all have a kind of energy, invisible, and no one can control.
I seem to feel this power.
I really don't have the ability to control what happened.
Xin Jin left disappointed, and I could see his father's sadness.
At night, looking at the dark village, I always feel that something will come into the dark. But I don't know what it is.
After dawn, I fell asleep. Gu Ye called me and I knew something had happened.
Gu Ye pulled me to the yard, and I was stunned. The front face of almost the whole small building was black, a little scary, and there was a kind of shock.
After Gu Ye and I entered the house, I saw that Gu Ye was a little nervous.
I went to Mr. Yi's house, and he still sat in the yard and slept.
I went in and he woke up.
"Master Yi, I want to invite you over."
Master Yisi hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and went with me. He entered the yard and looked sideways at the small building. After a long time, he went to the chair and sat down.
"What's going on?"
"Well, maybe you don't know. Your second master may not have told you that this village has no name. In fact, it turned out to have a name, called Black Village, but later no one wanted to call it. No one outsiders knew it. The darkness of the 30 days has been in my head, like a mark, branded in the meat, forever It can't be removed from far away. In the dark of those 30 days, 30 people died, and those who stayed stayed. Those who did not stay left left. This village became a dead village. Those who did not leave, and there were tombs in every family. It would be more appropriate to call this village a tomb village.
"What kind of black is that?"
"What's dark? There is no one so far. All I know is that the whole village is dark. When it's dark, look at the village. There is nothing, no house, only an empty field, and it will spread..."
I jipped a little. How could this happen? Doesn't the second master know? The second master didn't mention these things to me. Master Yan left and didn't give me anything.
It spread so big that it almost covered the whole building.
At night, looking up from a distance, the small building really doesn't exist and merges with the dark night. I walked into the yard and Gu Ye came out. She took my hand. I knew she was scared.
Gu Ye and I left the small building, returned to the city, and opened the antique shop. We want to live a normal life, but it is always not as good as we wish. Maybe this is life.
Xinjin came in again.
"Are you back?"
"I'm back. How is Xin Zhiqiang now?"
"Dream is still a dream."
Xin Jin shook his head.
Looking at those printed novels, I can't help but say that it is a good novel, but it is realistic, but no one believes it. Only Xin Jin and I believe it is true.
I sent Xin in and out, and I felt a little sorry for him. Looking at my father's painful expression, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
I came back to let Gu Ye go home and told her that I would stay in the store tonight. Gu Ye looked at me, thought for a long time, and left without saying anything.
When Gu Ye left, I closed the door of the store. I sat in it without turning on the light. The store was already dark, but now it's even darker. I don't think I exist anymore.
I have been sitting in the dark drinking beer. I don't know what time it was when someone knocked on the door. At first, I thought it was Gu Ye, but it wasn't.
Because of the knock on the door, I know, although I haven't heard it, I know. The second master told me that there was a knock on the door. Even if you heard it, you should not hear it. Don't open the door.
That kind of knocking on the door is three-three, repeating, so in life, don't open it when you encounter such a knock on the door. As for what will happen, the second master didn't tell me.
I sat there still, knocking on the door and never stopped. I haven't woken up either. I sat there looking at Xin Zhiqiang's novel and wanted to find something. In fact, it was just a novel. Some things were real, but I couldn't find anything at all.
I want to meet Xin Zhiqiang and listen to his thoughts.
The knock on the door stopped after dawn. After Gu Ye came, I went out. I found Xin Zhiqiang, who is still writing novels.
Xin Zhiqiang seemed to be a little surprised by my appearance.
"I'm here about your dream..."
"Sorry, I don't have time."
"This is very important."
When he heard me say that, he turned around and looked at me.
I saw three blue dots on his arm, the same as Vice Mayor Zhao's. Xin Zhiqiang doesn't seem to want to talk to me about his dreams.
"This is very important. I hope you know."
Xin Zhiqiang hesitated for a long time.
"Actually, I have also been struggling with this matter. I always feel that there is a strong force controlling me. I feel very strange about the dream I have every day. Every dream can be connected, just like the novel I wrote. It is not bad at all. It guides me to a place to do something. But I still don't know what to do.
