Chapter 184
Only then did he raise his eyes to look at her.
"You saw it." Lu Wenjuan said firmly, and she lowered her voice again, "If you think about it again, do you really not want to take a sip?"
She seemed to be threatening the news in disguise: The consequences have been shown on TV. You don’t want it to be so miserable, right?
Unexpectedly, a voice broke in unhurriedly: "Do you really want us to see what's on TV?"
Lu Wenjuan turned her head and saw Xie Wen holding the bowl with his long fingers. The steaming tea soup was cooling down in his palms, and no trace of heat was escaping.
"That's really strange." Xie Wen said.
Lu Wenjuan then moved her eyes away from the tea cup: "What's so strange?"
"Look." He talked to the people in the cage, as if they were having a heart-to-heart talk, "We all ate the dumplings, and nothing happened to us. We also drank the soup, and nothing happened to us either. I really want to scare people, This is so boring.”
"What does it mean to be interesting?" Lu Wenjuan stared at him.
"Don't say a word, we can eat or not, and you can just watch from the side. When we fall asleep, those who have eaten will walk out of the door, and those who have not eaten will have a head roll out of the room. This will be really impressive. ." Xie Wen said.
Lu Wenjuan: "..."
Not to mention Lu Wenjuan, everyone else looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
He was silent for a moment, then moved his feet and stepped on Xie Wen's shoes without squinting.
Xie Wen seemed to smile during the pause, but did not move away. He continued: "You want us to watch TV so much, it seems like you don't want anything to happen to us."
Lu Wenjuan clasped her hands tightly and said nothing.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and said, "You are really weird."
"How do you say it?" Xie asked.
"When people came here before, I would always tell them directly that it was not safe at night and accidents were easy. I added something to the soup and after drinking it, I could sleep until dawn without waking up. The result? No one believed me." Lu Wenjuan He paused for a moment, whether it was helplessness or laughter.
"Everyone who comes here accidentally is afraid of me and is on guard against me." Lu Wenjuan pointed to her eyes, "I laughed angrily, and they all thought I was thinking of something bad and was about to open my mouth to eat people. .”
"For a while, I was a little angry. I would sit in the kitchen and eat their claws when they were secretly looking at me." She lowered her voice a little bit harshly and said, "The kind that look like human hands."
When hearing it: "..."
"They were immediately frightened to death and were very obedient." Lu Wenjuan said, "So I simply stopped trying to persuade them and let them watch it by themselves. After watching TV, I would continue to scare them and make sure they didn't ask any questions or give me anything. Eat whatever you want, so that I don’t have to worry about it and be thought of as a bad person.”
"I'm obviously quite kind." She put her hands on her hips and looked out the window in a daze. After a while, she complained, "Isn't it just because I'm dead..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Wen Shi has been in many cages, and there are very few people who know clearly that they are dead and can speak out calmly like this.
"You know?" Zhang Lan asked tentatively.
"Of course I know. I entered the river myself, cramped my muscles, and drank water. How come I didn't know? I know very well." Lu Wenjuan said: "I stayed at home for a long time, and here - this house , I watched my parents order it. I also watched them ask people to decorate this set of sofas, TVs, and other furnishings in the house."
"While they were burning, I was squatting nearby and watching." Lu Wenjuan turned her head, looked out the window with her eyes wide open, and blinked several times quickly.
They bought too many things, as if they were afraid that she would have no place to stay, and they wished they could build her an exactly the same home.
It was really tiring to burn those things, and the smoke was very choking. It made the eyes of the two old people red, and they were still wet no matter how they wiped them.
She wanted to help them wipe it, but she couldn't help. I want to hug them, but I dare not touch them. After walking around them for a long time, I could only squat by the fire and sob.
As long as they burned, she squatted beside them.
For a moment, she almost forgot that she was dead. It seemed like she was back when she was very young, her parents were sitting on the wooden bench at the door working. She had two braids and an old-fashioned sweatshirt and shorts, and she was squatting beside her quietly watching.
At that time, she thought, if anyone could help her, let her talk to her parents again, even if she wiped her tears and said "take care of yourself"...
"Then how did you get here?" Wen Shi asked.
Maybe it was because of the deep regret at that moment...
Lu Wenjuan thought for a while and said: "I can't remember clearly. I just remember that after my parents burned those things, the branches knocked on the edge of the pot a few times. They helped each other stand up, and I stood up too, and then I felt dizzy. .When you open your eyes again, you will be in this village."
"Isn't this the mountain where you live?" Wen Shi asked.
Lu Wenjuan was stunned for a while before she realized that he was actually talking about the tomb mountain, but she had hidden the word "grave". So she suddenly felt a trace of long-lost kindness from this living person, which is something that is difficult to have after the separation of Yin and Yang.
"No, our village is not big, there is only one mountain." Lu Wenjuan slumped her shoulders, and the ghostly aura wrapped around her body became much lighter, like a kind and beautiful ordinary person, "There are more or less people buried on it. I know everyone’s parents, or grandparents. But I don’t know the people in this village.”
