Yang Yu naturally understands the meaning of this look, but the current focus is not on this, he cleared his throat and continued: "Actually, this woman's name is not mentioned in the diary, and she has never been described with gorgeous words. appearance, but between the lines, you can feel Lao Jiu's love for her."

Most of the descriptions of this woman in the diary are trivial daily life.

But life can really see the whole picture from the trivial things. The woman's gentle character and Lao Jiu's preference for her are vivid on the paper.

In that era, people in remote mountain villages always thought that it was better to be honest and farm at home. If you have your own one-acre land and raise some chickens, you will not move your nest even if it is for gold and silver.What's more, the cities at that time were different from the countryside. The cities needed food stamps and oil stamps in exchange for food. If there was no land, they would starve to death there.

But Lao Jiu is different from them, he is always thinking about how to leave this valley, how to take his parents, wife and children to the city together.

After the woman became pregnant, Lao Jiu became more determined about this idea, but he never had a chance.

Until one day an old man came to the village and drove a donkey cart to exchange corn for other daily necessities.

This person is the old man who took Lao Jiu to rob the tomb afterwards. The diary did not explain in detail how he discovered the old man's true identity. It only said that the old man gave him two horseshoe gold, and this man made up his mind to marry him. Go do some 'career'.

Lao Jiu lied that he was going to visit a distant relative instead of his parents, and secretly prepared for him to leave home.

He was also accompanied by Uncle Yao. At that time, Uncle Yao was a young man who had just grown up. One of them lived in the east of the village and the other lived in the west of the village, but their relationship was very good. Naturally, a close friend should be brought along for this kind of thing. Acquaintances, there is also a helper in Xiadou.

The first time I followed the tomb robbery, I didn't have much to gain. The tomb was not big and was discovered by other colleagues. I followed the hole dug by the predecessors and failed to bring out any good things.

It is inevitable that people will be a little discouraged when they hit a wall when they first show their skills.

When I got home, I saw my wife with a slightly bulging belly. The silver bracelet was dangling back and forth on her wrist, and when she smiled at her, she showed a row of neat and beautiful teeth. s face.

Thinking of her being stripped of her clothes and sitting on the ground, her hair was cut long and short, and she didn't know what she was thinking with her head down. The miserable appearance is so vivid that it still makes people terrified.

Lao Jiu couldn't sit still at home, so he took Uncle Yao and the old man together to make a big ticket. This time, he was very lucky to find a tomb that no one had visited before, and the jade treasures inside were not damaged.

In those days, it was not easy to get rid of things when they were dug up. If they were discovered, they might be beaten to death. In the end, the old man exchanged things and bought a piece of cloth for the old nine daughter-in-law. A woman who has hardly changed her clothes is like this. new clothes.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Women look more beautiful after changing into new city clothes, but Lao Jiu, who is obsessed with his wife's beauty, doesn't notice the gossip in the village and the way those men look at their wives .

Lao Jiu, who had tasted the sweetness, was determined to continue working with the old man, and left the house for more than two months without doing anything. When he came back with his things, he got the bad news of his father's death.

The woman said that she always wanted to go to the bathroom when she was pregnant. One night she got up at night without turning on the light and walked along the wall to touch the urinal. Only after listening to the noise in the room did she see a few dark shadows wandering in the room. She didn't think about it at the time. He cried out in fright.

When the other party came over and covered her mouth, the woman knew whether the black shadow that entered the room was a human or a ghost.

Knowing that it was a human being, she was naturally not so scared. She opened her mouth and bit the hand covering her mouth desperately. The other party let go of her hand in pain. The woman ran out of the house from the bed and called her parents-in-law to come out to help.

God has no eyes, and there was no moon that night, so I couldn't see anything. Before my mother-in-law lit the lamp, my father-in-law ran out with a wooden stick. Who knew that those black shadows were not in a hurry to escape, but turned around and surrounded the old man. I took a beating.

How could an old man bear such beatings? When people from other houses came to check, the old man was already lying on the ground without moving.

A barefoot doctor was invited to drink two doses of medicine to hang himself, and Lao Jiu's father was completely out of breath after lying in the house for half a month.

It was dark at night, and no one could see clearly, so naturally no one could come to life for life.

There is nowhere to vent the emotions of grief and anger, which makes people uncomfortable.

From then on, no matter what the reason, Lao Jiu could no longer go to dig the tomb, so he let Uncle Yao go alone, and he took care of his wife and mother at home.

Not long after, rumors began to spread in the village again, the usual gossip directed at his wife, saying that she was afraid that she might be a disaster star to kill her relatives, and that she looked just like that dead fairy...

Maybe he's coming back for revenge.

Lao Jiu, who happened to hear these words, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The woman in the lotus root pink bellyband died alone in her own home, and her wife couldn't do this.

When Lao Jiu was planning to leave the village, Uncle Yao brought good news.

There is a city outside called Shenzhen that no longer needs food stamps, anyone who has money can buy them, and Uncle Yao bought a lot of things for Lao Jiu's family from there.

This sentence stuck in Lao Jiu's heart like a nail, and the nail could only be pulled out when he left this 'man-eating' village.

At night, Lao Jiu went to the banyan tree at the head of the village to dig out the gold cakes and money that had been buried earlier, packed up his things and drove away in a donkey cart.

Maybe it's God's destiny, or maybe it's just fate to enjoy it. Not long after leaving the village, the woman died of giving birth to a child. Before she died, she held the child and nursed it for a long time. Say, "I'm leaving, you have to take care of the baby."

Everyone in the village said that this woman had killed her father-in-law, that she was descended from a vixen, and that she was reincarnated by a fairy ghost to claim her life.

However, Lao Jiu felt that he was the real lone star of the evil spirit. From the fairy girl to his father to his wife and finally to his mother and son, they all left him one by one in the end.

"Wait, you mean son?" Tian Han frowned and interrupted Yang Yu's words.

Yang Yu nodded.

Xiao forced to say: "Wait a minute, isn't the old Jiu who you just said about food stamps already... sixty? But I think Xiao Jiu is still very young in his early 40s. I always thought his father More than [-] is a bit old."

Yang Yu continued: "I don't know Lao Jiu's real age, but he did have a son, and he didn't die until he was ten years old."

It was precisely because the death of this son dealt a heavy blow to Lao Jiu, and from that day on, he became a little crazy.

During these years of inversion, Lao Jiu met a wealthy businessman from Hangzhou. This wealthy businessman told him a way to use children to extend his life, and brought him into the new world of the boy.

The so-called 虺 culture probably comes from the generation of ancient Yunnan. Since ancient times, people have worshiped snakes. In primitive painted pottery, there are human-faced snake-body patterns and human-faced dragon-snake patterns. Fuxi and Nuwa in mythology even have human heads. The face of a snake.

"Lao Jiu didn't bury the child, but put it at home and recruited the soul, so that the soul could stay in the house and could not leave." Yang Yu paused, and said: "He started to give up all his research on crooked methods, And he organized a shady marriage for his son, you should know who the girl who was bought from a human trafficker as a daughter-in-law is."

The three people in the room were silent, and they knew who it was without saying anything.

Yang Yu went on to say: "It is not clearly stated in the diary, but it should be that I used my Yangshou and Xiao Jiu's body to support the soul of that little ghost, so that he can survive in the world. As long as that little ghost lives for a day, Lao Jiu's body will last a day." It's not as good as one day, and Xiao Jiu grows up day by day, but after she gives birth to a child, her life will be useless."

"In order to make his son really become a human, so he asked me to find you?" Tianhan sighed, "It's a pity that the bamboo basket fetched water in vain."

Although Xiao Ji, who was sitting by the side, didn't understand everything, he probably understood the general process.This Xiaojiu, like himself, is a child of a trafficker who changed hands. Although he has suffered all the way since he was a child, at least he is doing well now, and although Xiaojiu was raised as a 'biological daughter', he was pampered and raised in order to be able to kill her one day.

Sure enough, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. It is an eternal truth.

Tianhan was completely stunned, not knowing what to do. He stared blankly at Yang Yu and asked, "She won't believe me even if the person involved is dead. After all, if you say it again..."

"You mean Yang Yu made up nonsense to lie to us?" Xiao Ju gave him a disdainful look.

Tianhan hurriedly vetoed: "No, I didn't mean that, after all... I have seen people who can't die."

This person who can't die is naturally tacitly understood by everyone, and Yang Yu himself knows it very well.

The diary clearly described how they searched for the location, and the nightmare they often had in the record should be the tomb.

In an empty tomb, apart from an empty coffin and a 'living' person lying on the coffin, there is nothing else.

Yang Yu and Tianhan discussed for a long time and finally failed to make a decision. In the end, Xiao Li slapped the table and made a decision. All the old nine's diaries and letters were left to Xiao Jiu, and he told her the truth in the shortest possible time.

Tianhan obviously hesitated. Once a person commits suicide once, there will be a second time. Isn't this stimulating her?

But Xiao Ji disagreed, saying, "She is the person involved who has the right to know the truth of the matter."

"But you don't care about this for a while." Tianhan looked distressed, although he guessed that there might be something hidden in it, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and hurriedly said: "We can wait until she is discharged from the hospital and then tell her."

Yang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, got up and picked up the diary in the bag, and said, "Let's go, go to the hospital."

Yang Yu put more than 30 diaries on Xiao Jiu's bedside, and some photos she took when she was traveling, but now those photos are just white circles.

Most of the so-called travel memories are false.

Even the lovers who grew up with childhood sweethearts, the feelings are false.

Not to mention the father who raised him, the so-called fatherly love is even more false.

After Yang Yu finished describing all the developments of the matter, Xiao Jiu was unusually calm.

Rather than being calm, it's better to say that he still has the same cold face as before, leaning against the pillow with a pale face, and the whole person is skinny and out of shape.

Yang Yu threw the photos that Xiao Jiu had shown her on the bed, she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids and stared expressionlessly at the distant wall.

"You can go to places you haven't been to before. I will be leaving in two days, and I hope to receive the photo you mailed to me." Yang Yu took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and sketched roughly according to his memory. There was also a smiling girl who passed a mountain peak, turned and left the ward, put the paper in Xiao Jiu's hands.

That is the place where Xiaojiu once took photos with a smile. She said that she climbed Mount Everest for love and took photos for her lover. At least in the 'photo' she looked so happy.

Yang Yu doesn't know how to comfort others, but this is the best way he can think of. In the absence of family and love, at least there is friendship to accompany you.

The moment the three of them left the ward, Xiao Jiu's cry came from inside.

Xiao Pu and Yang Yu looked at each other, and they all let out a long breath of relief.

And Tianhan, who was on the side, was stopped when he was about to go in when he heard the crying. Xiao Li looked at him with an unteachable look and said: "Mark Twain said that when people express their emotions, it is best not to express their emotions." to bother."
