Chapter 101 (1/2)
EN Jin lifted the red cap and raised her head. She stood up and held out her hand to Gu Meng.
”Whelp?” The voice with a smile is deep and soft, ”after worship, I'll call my husband again.”
Red silk and satin in the air, fluttering to the fall, become a section of the flowing background.
Gu Meng looks at en Jin for a few seconds, and then looks at the big hand with distinct bony joints handed to him. He feels like he has been scratched by a feather. He can't resist the itching. He bites his lips and smiles. Then he grabs the other party's hand and stands up.
EN Jin sees Gu Meng's smile, and her heart is bound to move. She grabs each other's wrist and tries to pull people over and do something to him. However, she is interrupted by the noise from the ceiling of the room.
On the ceiling near the window hung a square plank without warning. In a short time, Mo Chunying propped up her head in the hole.
The little girl's eyes in two people around a circle, thought through, her face expressionless way: ”you can be a little bit tired, anyway, I don't want to live.”
“…………”
There's a man in the attic above.
Patronizing a relationship ignores it.
EN Jin's expression is accordant, release the hand.
The room on the third floor was connected with an attic, but the butcher didn't try to find it when he came in. Either you don't pay attention to it, or you don't know, so it can be regarded as a safe shelter for the time being.
Gu Meng steps on the wooden box to enter the attic. There is no window on it, so it is not transparent.
After he went up, he turned around to give en Jin a handle. When he held Enjin, he caught a glimpse of Enjin's left arm. He didn't know when there was a blood hole on her left arm, which made the cloth on her sleeve wet.
Gu Meng's eyes flashed and she pursed her lips in silence.
After en Jin comes up, Gu Meng asks Mo Chunying to look for a candle or an oil lamp, while she sits at the entrance with en Jin, taking advantage of the dim light outside to deal with her injured arm.
”Just cut it?” Gu Meng tore the dress of her wedding dress nearby and wiped her arm for Enjin.
If it is not too fatal injury, such as being split half of the head and so on, Enjin will not react generally, he has a high tolerance limit for pain.
He glanced at the deep wound on his arm and said, ”when I was in the box, I raised my hand to block it.”
At that time, if the butcher with an axe chopped deeper, Enjin might have lifted the lid and became angry.
Gu Meng frowned ruefully and tore a piece of cloth from her wedding dress and said, ”I knew you'd all hide from me...”
”Don't tear it.” Enjin helplessly said with a smile, ”the wedding dress is broken, how to return it to the ghost girl? Don't you think she's going crazy
Gu Meng doesn't care about it. She continues to tear it. She is cruel and shabby. When she winds her arms, she is gentle and delicate.
”It's a question whether we can go back or not.” Mo Chunying found a lamp, lit it, turned around and put it on the floor beside them. She sighed, ”I don't know how long I'm going to stay here? If those people in Ding's house find us missing, with their wisdom The situation may not be able to find here. ”
The little girl is also a master of poisonous words. She originally wanted to say that it is difficult to save them with the intelligence quotient of those people in the house. However, she turned around and changed a more euphemistic way.
Gu Meng pretended not to hear the details, looked at en Jin and said, ”do you have an idea?”
”Six hours.” EN Jin suddenly tunnel.
Mo Chunying did not understand, asked: ”what do you say?”
Enjin wiped the blood dripping on the skirt of Qipao and said faintly: ”there is fog at 10 o'clock at night, and the door may open again. Now the door disappears because the cloth shop has fallen into a different world than before.”
”Why didn't you just say that downstairs?” Gu Meng slightly twisted his eyebrows and said absentmindedly, ”for Bo Ye, candi should be worried. If he can get out of here at 10 o'clock in the night, it should not be a problem to arrive at Ding's house before 12 o'clock...”
”I only said it was possible.” Enjin repeated.
Gu Meng pauses for a moment and says in a daze: ”do you mean...”
EN Jin looked at him and explained, ”the opening time of the shop may only be at noon. If it is a little bit too much...”
He stopped for a second. ”This may be a visit that never comes back. We missed the only chance to go out.”
Mo Huan sat back on the floor and hugged Yu Ying.
Gu Meng tied a bow on Enjin's wound with a piece of cloth. After a long silence, Gu Meng said in a low voice: ”if you say something that is uncertain, it will cause expectation. If you do...”
Words stopped, white jade general face, expression gloomy down.
EN Jin then laughed. He reached for Gu Meng's chin and whispered, ”don't worry, do you remember I'm a VIP?”
“…………” Gu Meng doesn't know how to answer, so she thinks that Enjin's second illness has happened again.
”If the door disappears, let the wall in front of you disappear as well.” Enjin recalled the strange incident that happened in the prison, and her eyes were filled with smiles. ”Even if the door of the cloth shop doesn't open at 10 o'clock at night, I will take you out.”Although Gu Meng doesn't know where he is confident, but what fan Enjin has promised, Gu Meng knows that the other party will do it.
Inexplicably, the heart is stable.
Seeing Gu Meng's face full of trust, Enjin was satisfied. Because he was close to each other face to face, he would lower his head and kiss the moist lips in front of him.
Just then, a faint voice came from the corner --
”kiss me, I don't want to live anyway.”
Mo Chunying lies down and curls up on the floor.
“…………”
EN Jin's face turns cold. After glancing at Mo Chunying in the corner of her eyes, she keeps away from Gu Meng.
Knowing that it was not the right time, he stood up on the floor and said to Gu Meng, ”Mr. Gu, please close the board. Boss Tu may come back at any time.”
Gu Meng answered, leaned down to hold the knot and pulled the plank up.
When it was fully closed, he looked down a little worried, as if to see the second floor through the wooden floor.
Gu Meng murmured, ”hold on, don't let anything happen...”
Gu Meng carries a lamp to reflect the surrounding environment, which shows that the loft is not large in area, but it is arranged like a tailor's workshop.
There was a huge long table covered with cloth. There are all kinds of tools, such as needle and thread, soft ruler, cutting knife, etc., and the design drawings of clothes are placed on it.
On the drawing was a titanium pointed pen. The cap was pulled out and set aside. A drop of blue ink was dripping on the end of the pen. It looked very fresh, as if the owner of the workbench had just been here.
Gu Meng puts the lamp on the table and is looking at the drawing with lines on it. Suddenly, a woman screams from the floor.
Three people in the attic cast their eyes on the floor for the first time. The lamp in the lamp flickered.
That call is not sharp, with the cry sound reverberates in the corridor, bumps into the room, can let them feel the woman clear pain.
It seemed that the pain forced the woman to exhaust her last strength to make such a shrill cry.
The call lasted less than ten seconds, getting weaker and weaker, until it was completely stuffy.
It's Xiaochen.
Xiaochen's voice disappeared, the three looked different, silent in place.
Thinking that this was over, there was a creepy sound of bone chopping from downstairs.
”She was still alive...” Mo Chunying shrank in the corner and covered her ears like an evasive one. Her expression was painful and she murmured, ”I know She held my foot, but I kicked her away... ”
Speaking of this, Mo Chunying curled up more tightly, and her voice almost disappeared: ”I didn't save her Sorry I couldn't save her... ”
”It's a difficult situation.” ”Enjin tone insipid way,” there is no need to blame yourself
The sound of bone chopping is still ringing. It sounds like it comes from the second floor. The interval between each sound is very long, but it is powerful. The sound continues to disturb the nerves of the survivors.
Enjin's psychological quality has always been strong. She found a corner and sat on the ground. She hooked her fingers to Gu Meng and said, ”would you like to come and sleep for a while? There are still six hours
Gu Meng wants to find something to distract her attention. She takes a stack of pamphlets from the corner of the table and puts them on the floor. She also sits down next to en Jin.
”This should be Miss Ding's workshop. I wonder if I can find some clues here?” Gu Meng said, ”but then again, why does she choose to stay in the attic because there are so many rooms in the cloth shop?”
EN Jin and Gu Meng go through the pile together. He pulls out a book from the book, pats the dust on it, and finds it is a student record.
EN Jin opened the pamphlet and said thoughtfully, ”I always feel that she is hiding something.”
Gu Meng is attracted by his classmates' records and comes to see them together.
A very thin record of two students. The front turned to male, until turning to a certain page, there was only one female classmate.
”This is...” Gu Meng points to the photo and looks surprised.
EN Jin looked at the name column next to the eye, which was written with the word ”clove”.
The old-fashioned black-and-white photos are very fuzzy, the face is smeared indistinctly, but you can see a clear jaw, a black mole on the corner of the mouth -
the same as the female ghost I met twice before.
Gu Meng looks at en Jin, but says, ”the ghost is lilac?”
EN Jin thought for a moment, nodded and thought it was reasonable. He looked at Gu Meng's wedding dress and said, ”the ghost girl can freely enter and leave lilac's room, and the desired wedding dress is also in the butcher's shop. If she is not a very close person with clove, she is herself.”
”I thought the ghost was a customer of lilac.” Gu Meng's back was cold. He took off his wedding dress in a hurry and said, ”isn't Miss Ding dead?”
EN Jin gave a faint ”um”.
”Shit!” Gu Meng said unhappily, ”for a long time, the ghost girl and Miss Ding are the same person.”He thought about it for a second, and then he didn't understand, ”no, why is the whole town lying to us? Even the servants of the Ding family say that Miss Ding is still alive? How can NPC play when they are so dishonest? ”
”Don't be angry, Mr. Gu.” Enjin, amused by Gu Meng's small appearance of blowing hair, rubbed his head and said, ”there is still a possibility that NPC people will lie collectively...”
Gu Meng said, ”what is it?”
”They don't know they're lying.” Enjin added, ”we don't know lilac is dead.”
Gu Meng was stunned for a moment and said strangely: ”rumors about lilac are all over the street, but no one knows that she is dead?”
”The townspeople talk about cloves. Do you think they really care about lilac? They just care about the lilac scandal. ” ”When people get together, they like to talk about bad things, which is why rumors tend to spread more easily than the truth.”
Gu Meng Wu thought to himself. He looked at the blurred picture and said, ”I feel this woman It's not easy to live in town. ”
The lilac in the townspeople's mouth is obviously a fickle and restless woman with her own career, which is quite different from the traditional women's viewpoint. In the eyes of women, it is an alien. She finally gets married and gives her husband a green hat. In a word, she has a lot of bad deeds. No matter whether clove is really like what everyone said, it will be very difficult for a person to live in the public criticism for a long time.
”Mr. Gu's empathy EN Jin's sight swept a circle between his clear eyebrows and eyes, full of appreciation, and said, ”it's really rare.”
EN Jin picked up another book, opened it, and scanned several pages at the speed of one page a second, and waved to Gu Meng to come and have a look.
Gu Meng goes over again and looks at it for a while, and finds that en Jin has got this letter, which is lilac's -
”March Fourth”. In a week, it's a good place to decorate it. It's very comfortable to look at it. It's a good place to have a rest in the future. For a long time, I did not take the needle and thread, but embroidered a white chrysanthemum to practice. The effect is not very satisfactory. ”
”March 17. My friend brought a bundle of foreign yarn from Britain. The cloth is fine and even, and the color is bright. It is really nice and pleasing. But I prefer the local silk
“…………”
Gu Meng slowly takes over the book from en Jin's hand and turns page by page. He can't help but be fascinated.
The letters recorded lilac's daily life and mood. They were short but real, showing a rich inner world of women.
Looking at it, I can't help but make people change their outlook on Miss Ding, who is in everyone's mouth.
Gu Meng looked at the letter and said, ”just look at these to know how much lilac loves her career.”
”Look at this.” When turning to a certain page, Gu Meng stops for a moment, points to the elegant and clean handwriting on it and reads, ”I'm afraid I can't take it from the store downstairs when I've run out of stitches. If I take it too often, it's bound to arouse the suspicion of the fat man. It was a smart market with a good mind. I found an excuse to go to the cloth shop in the west of the city to buy needles and thread. It was no accident that I met many talkative neighborhoods. It's just that people are so free that they often pin their eyes on others. ”
”Fat man.” After reading it completely, Gu Meng was happy and said, ”it's quite appropriate to call my husband that way.”
EN Jin looked at Gu Meng and asked him, ”what do you think?”
Gu Meng looks around the small and dark attic and speculates: ”this should be Miss Ding's secret space. From all people, especially the butcher, it seems that her husband does not want her to contact her previous career after marriage. Even if she is making several clothes, she will avoid her husband's going to the attic secretly.”
Enjin lowered her eyes and appreciated her slender fingers, and said: ”what a man wants most is a snail girl, who is both obedient and able to take care of the housework. Moreover, the attitude of the townspeople towards Ms. Ding, a career oriented woman, is clear at a glance. It is understandable that boss Tu is guarding against cloves in such a comprehensive way
Gu Meng squinted at him, ”do you want a snail girl, too?”
EN Jin was stunned for a moment, and her mind turned quickly. Then she saw him holding Gu Meng's arm and leaning up. She said with a sweet smile, ”what I want is a man who can protect me from the wind and rain, such as Mr. Gu.”
Gu Meng trembled and got goose bumps. He continued to read his letters, shook his head and said, ”I'm afraid of you.”
At this time, Mo Chunying, who had been lying on the floor loading corpses, slowly turned over and sighed, ”you can continue to sprinkle grain, I don't want to live anyway.”
EN Jin:
Repeatedly interrupted by the blind girl, Enjin was a little irritable.
I don't know when the dull sound of cutting bones has stopped.
Gu Meng leans her back against the wall, bends her legs, and slowly turns over her letters. Turning over a page again, he was obviously stunned.
Gu Meng slowly sat upright and said to Enjin, ”look.”
Eugene took a glance.
The letter ended abruptly in a sentence -
”almost found.”Gu Meng quickly turned back a few pages, and the rest of the book was blank.
He pondered for a moment, looked at en Jin and said, ”Miss Ding means This attic was almost found? ”
EN Jin looked at the date, the time stayed three months ago, and said: ”since there is no record in the back, it means that Miss Ding has never come up again. It should be boss Tu who has doubts.”
However, just as the words fell, the ”babbling” sound of trampling on the aging floor came from the lower part of the attic, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects dragging on the ground.
Gu Meng and en Jin look at each other.
EN Jin put up a forefinger against the lip, made a ”Shuo” gesture, and then blow out the lamp.
Hearing the strange movements in the room downstairs, even Mo Chunying, half dead and lying in the corner, also propped up her body and raised her ears with vigilance on her face.
The floor of the attic is not strong enough. If you move it, it will make a small sound of wood squeezing.
Gu Meng looks at the distance between himself and the entrance and exit of the attic. Carefully, he lies down on the ground. With one eye closed, he looks down at the room below --
boss Tu just drags a bloody yellow cloth bag right below.
The cloth bag dragged along the ground was bulging, and there was a bloodstain on the cloth scattered on the ground. Gu Meng's eyes stop on the bag for a moment and then move away uncomfortable.
The visual effects are bloody.
The butcher went to a table and threw the cloth bag ”bang” behind him. It's like a butcher throwing a pig leg on the chopping board.
The rope at the mouth of the bag was untied. In an instant, a faint smell of blood floated up and penetrated into the gap of the attic floor.
Gu Meng purses her lips and resists the feeling of nausea. At the same time, he saw a pile of red meat piled up near the mouth of the bag.
At this time, boss Tu puts his hand into the cloth bag and stirs it to and fro, making a muddy sound. Gu Meng watches him take out a pile of cloth from the bag.
Boss Tu spread the bloody and wrinkled cloth on the workbench, and then smoothed it with his hands. Gu Meng found that the texture of the cloth looked strange.
It seems that the bloodstain can't hang on the cloth, revealing a pale yellow background in the white below. Gu Meng is closer to the gap between the boards and squints carefully. Finally, he can see that it is a huge piece of skin.
Human skin!
Under the attic, butcher boss ”tit by tick” hummed a ditty, which showed that he was in a good mood. He felt a pair of scissors from the table, made two vertical and horizontal strokes at the whole human skin, and began to cut.
