Today I was forced to resurrect again

In the dream, Gu Rong felt as if he was wrapped in dense algae, and the wet and silky spongy invaded his nose and throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He waved his hands vigorously, and finally seemed to have left the group's soul, and rushed out of the suffocating and unspeakable shackles. When Gu Rong opened his eyes, he saw a white-haired man in a black cassock with his back facing him. He stood with his hands behind his back, while the man held a translucent box in his right palm behind his back, which was filled with seven or eight small jade white bones that were emitting a vast frost mist.

Gu Rong had only seen this kind of bone in the hands of Black and White Wuchang during the day, and heard that it was something called a ghost bone.

Gu Rong also knows that there are many colors of Taoist cassocks, among which purple and yellow are the top ones. The cuffs and corners of the clothes are embroidered with various patterns that imply auspiciousness in Taoism, such as sun, moon, stars, smoke, clouds and cranes, but black and dark. The black color like ink is rare, and the taoist robe on this man's body is embroidered in a very special pattern, like a few... petals?

Gu Rong couldn't help but took a few steps forward, wanting to take a closer look at these patterns.

But after he approached, he found that in front of the man in black, lay the dead body of a child with a pale face and bloodless lips.

From the cheeks to the abdomen, both hands and legs of the child seemed to have been cut open with a knife. The meat slices were opened on both sides. The internal organs were clearly visible, and the heart was still beating weakly—but no bones were seen.

When Gu Rong stepped forward, the man also stepped forward, raised his hand to open the box, and put the few jade-white bones inside into the child's limbs and torso. After a while, those jade-white bones spontaneously grew and filled the child's body. The body, the skin and flesh opened from both sides also gradually closed and healed, leaving no scars.

The child's face also changed from pale to rosy, and his chest gradually rose and fell. Finally, his eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes, meeting Gu Rong's eyes - so Gu Rong suddenly recognized that this child was actually young myself at the time.

The dream came to an abrupt end here, Gu Rong opened his eyes in a daze, only to see the bright light outside the window, and he was alone on the bed.

Shen Qiuji was not lying beside him, but his voice could be heard in the dormitory. Shen Qiuji was talking to Li Mingxue and Liang Shao: "The weather is not bad today, are you two feeling better?"

Li Mingxue answered him: "I have a cold."

"I have a stuffy nose and a headache." Liang Shao's listless voice also came from under the bed.

Gu Rong hugged the quilt and sat up, glanced under the bed, and found that the three people were sitting around a pot of porridge.

"Rongrong is awake." Sensing that someone was looking at him, Shen Qiuji looked up and found that Gu Rong had woken up, so she hurriedly greeted him, "I made the porridge, get up and have breakfast."

Gu Rong brushed his teeth and went back to the desk. Shen Qiuji had already filled the porridge and handed it to him along with the spoon.

But cooking porridge was done by Gu Rong in the past, and today Shen Qiuji rarely got up early to do it for him, so Gu Rong asked him, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Shen Qiuji said: "Wake up early, if you can't sleep, get up and make porridge."

In fact, Shen Qiuji didn't close his eyes for almost the whole night. After Gu Rong fell asleep, he took his mobile phone and tried to contact Uncle Qi, wanting to ask him if he had heard of such things as Ming Gu.

But it didn't work.

His seventh uncle is still out of contact.

Gu Rong didn't know that Shen Qiuji's insomnia last night was because of himself, he tasted the porridge cooked by Shen Qiuji and found that the taste was not bad.

He praised Shen Qiuji: "It's delicious."

Liang Shao also echoed Gu Rong and said, "Yes, why didn't I find that Boss Shen is so virtuous before? I thought it was Errong's ingenuity."

"It's just cooking porridge. I can cook a lot of dishes for such a simple thing." Shen Qiuji became proud again when he heard that, and raised his eyebrows, "Besides, there really aren't any boys who can't even cook porridge, right?"

Li Mingxue shut up and didn't speak.

I don't know if he was hit by Shen Qiuji's words, or if he didn't have the energy to speak because he was not feeling well.

It was really unlucky for him and Young Master Liang. They had an exam next week, but they bumped into such a thing.Today, Li Mingxue and Liang Shao have already started to have a stuffy nose and headache. If their illness worsens later and catches up with the fever on the day of the exam next week, it is estimated that they can only get a passing grade.

So Li Mingxue and Young Master Liang didn't dare to make excuses. After breakfast, they made an appointment to go to the infirmary to prescribe medicine and see a doctor.

Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji wanted to send the two of them to the infirmary, but they were declined. Li Mingxue and Liang Shao said they could go by themselves.

So after the two of them went out, only Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji were left in the dormitory.

If this kind of rare time for the two of you had been in the past, Shen Qiuji would have pulled Gu Rong into an affair long ago, but today Shen Qiuji is busy thinking about the ghost bone, and Gu Rong is still immersed in last night. In the dream, the two of them were sitting at the table with a textbook in their hands, both of them were silent. It seemed that they were making the final sprint for next week's exam, reviewing carefully, but in fact they were in a daze. Quietly thinking about things.

Many people will gradually forget the things in the dream after waking up, unless the dream is extremely impressive. It has been almost two hours since Gu Rong woke up from the dream.

But not only did he not forget everything in the dream, but it became clearer, as if the scene was not his dream, but something he had personally experienced.

Gu Rong raised his head, looked at Shen Qiuji who was reading a book beside him, and asked him, "Shen Qiuji, what color clothes does your seventh uncle usually wear?"

"Moon white, blue and green will wear some. He likes to wear light-colored clothes, but he will wear red for the New Year. He said it looks more festive." Shen Qiuji first answered Gu Rong's question, and then looked back at him sideways. Staring at Gu Rong, he also asked, "Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

Gu Rong didn't care about Shen Qiuji's inquiry, and immediately said: "Then will he wear black?"

"No." Shen Qiuji shook his head, "He doesn't like black, and he never wears it."

Gu Rong lowered his eyelashes, and fell silent again, before telling Shen Qiuji a few seconds later: "Didn't you ask me before, do I remember what the old gentleman who told me fortune-telling when I was young looked like? I... ...I dreamed of a person wearing a black Taoist robe, and I felt that he was that old gentleman."

Shen Qiuji's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his voice was filled with anxiety: "Then did you see his face clearly?"

"No, I have my back to him. The pattern embroidered on his Taoist robe is very special." Gu Rong waved away the textbook in front of him, took out a piece of sketching paper, sketched on the paper with a pen, and copied the embroidery pattern on the Taoist robe. Draw, "Well, I think it looks like some kind of flower petal."

Gu Rong's major is related to painting. In just five or six minutes, he drew a lifelike man in a black cassock on paper.

Shen Qiuji stared at the painting, pressing the fingertips on the drawing paper until white came out, then raised his head, fixed his eyes on Gu Rong and asked, "Are you sure?"

Gu Rong said, "Yes."

"This pattern is indeed a petal, or a pear flower." Shen Qiuji took a deep breath, and explained to Gu Rong word by word, "It's one of the patterns embroidered on the gown worn by my seventh uncle."

Shen Qiuji's words now are almost equivalent to saying that the old man Gu Rong dreamed about is his seventh uncle.

Gu Rong frowned: "But didn't you say that your seventh uncle is not very old?"

Although the man in the dream didn't see his face, he had white hair and a long beard, and he looked really old.

"It's not that big. The gentleman who changed your name when you were a child can never be my seventh uncle." Shen Qiuji also felt that there were more and more mysteries, "Besides, I asked him before, and he didn't know you at all. .”

"Then what's going on here? Do you know what else I dreamed about?" Gu Rong was even more confused, "I dreamed about my childhood, but I was a corpse. What we saw at the cemetery yesterday, some so-called 'ghost bone' was put into my body, and then I came back to life."

After finishing speaking, in order to alleviate the increasingly silent atmosphere in the room, Gu Rong pulled the corner of his lower lip, as if telling a joke or gossip, and told Shen Qiuji about this absurd dream: "You said it before My bone weight doesn't match my life, and this dream was done in such a way that it seemed like it really happened."

Shen Qiuji remained silent, staring at Gu Rong with eyes as black as lacquer.

Gu Rong was stunned for a few seconds, and an incredible thought suddenly flashed through his mind. His special ghost-attracting physique, weird resurrection ability, and his mother's nervous attitude towards him since he was a child, and his almost surveillance-like attitude, seemed to be there too. Answer.

He said blankly: "This is impossible."

If this is true, does it mean that he died when he was very young?

Seeing that Shen Qiuji didn't show much surprise, Gu Rong asked him, "You already knew?"

"Yes." Shen Qiuji admitted, "Your mother also knows, but she doesn't know the specific identity of that old gentleman, let alone what bone he used to renew your life."

The expression on Gu Rong's face became more and more sluggish, Shen Qiuji thought that he couldn't bear the blow, and frowned with self-blame, wanting to apologize to Gu Rong: "I'm sorry, I helped Auntie hide this matter... "

"It's okay, I don't blame you, I'm just a little shocked." Gu Rong raised his wrist and waved his hand, stopping Shen Qiuji's remaining words.

After all, the number of deaths has increased, and Gu Rong's mentality is calmer now. To him, this news is just one more death. What Gu Rong is worried about is that looking at Gu Xiangniang and Black and White Wuchang "reporting" his words , is not nonsense, but a fact.

"What should I do, Shen Qiuji?" Gu Rong asked Shen Qiuji for help with a sullen face, "I won't be captured by Wuchang, right?"

Shen Qiuji comforted Gu Rong: "For now, it probably won't be possible, but if you want to have no worries at all, you still need to find that old gentleman who will renew your life."

"Is it really possible to find it?" Gu Rong asked him, "I've also said that black and white are impermanent, and the bones can't be touched by a living person. Is that old gentleman really a human?"

Shen Qiuji also fell silent upon hearing the words.

The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence in the room. Gu Rong and Shen Qiuji thought that Li Mingxue and Liang Shao who had gone to the infirmary had come back, so they stopped talking and opened the door for them, but when the door opened, it was Yu Yu standing outside gold sea.

Gu Rong felt that Yu Jinhai's encounters with ghosts were no less frequent than himself, so every time he came to knock on the door, Gu Rong felt that something strange must have happened before he even opened his mouth.

When Yu Jinhai saw the door opened, the first thing he said was to ask them: "Gu Rong, is there a leak in your dormitory?"

"It's not leaking." Gu Rong said, "Is your dormitory leaking?"

"Our dormitory is almost leaking into a sieve." Yu Jinhai took a look at their dormitory and found that it was clean and dry inside. He said enviously, "Wow, your dormitory is really not leaking, why?"

"Really?" Shen Qiuji didn't believe it, and took Gu Rong to the 418 dormitory to have a look, "I'll go and have a look."

After entering dormitory 418, they realized that although Yu Jinhai's words were exaggerated, they were not far from the truth—the entire ceiling and walls of their dormitory were completely soaked in water, showing a dull gray color , completely different from the dry and white walls in the 419 dormitory.

Gu Rong poked the wall of dormitory 418 with his hand, pressed it down with his fingertips, and lifted it up to leave a small pit with fingerprints. The putty brushed on the wall has been softened, and there are still a few pieces on the ceiling. Water stains and shiny reflections appeared everywhere, and a few drops of water fell from time to time, showing how serious the water leakage was.

"Could it be that a pipe in the bathroom of your dormitory was not connected correctly last time? Why is it leaking so badly?" Gu Rong was a little shocked, "Have you talked to Auntie?"

"I told you, guess what happened?" Yu Jinhai said with emotion, "It's not just our dormitory leaking, I heard from my aunt that almost every room in our building is leaking, just your dormitory, as well as Ye Hua and their neighbors. 317, and the three dormitories on the sixth floor are not missing."

Hearing that the scope of the leak was so wide, Gu Rong was a little relieved. If it was just the leak in the 418 dormitory, then he had to consider whether Yu Jinhai was in trouble again.

But judging from the present, what is special now is their dormitories that do not leak?

Of course, all of this is speculation, but Gu Rong was thinking about the water footprint he saw in the stairwell yesterday, and after thinking for a while, he still wanted to remind Yu Jinhai: "You guys..."

"Huh?" Yu Jinhai looked at him after hearing the reputation, "What's wrong?"

Gu Rong couldn't think of how to hint them tactfully: "The exam is coming, sleep less, and study harder."

In fact, Gu Rong wanted to say not to sleep too hard at night, but this sentence sounds strange, but after changing it, it seems that it is not normal.

"Sleep ass." Tai Yicheng, who was hiding under the bed and sitting in front of the desk, heard Gu Rong's words, pointed to the ceiling and said, "The water leaks so badly that the bed will get wet in no time. How can you sleep? Review all night." never mind."

Unexpectedly, Tai Yicheng's words gave Yu Jinhai inspiration: "Should I go to your dormitory again to make a floor bedding? Your dormitory does not leak."

"Yes." Gu Rong didn't object, "But Li Mingxue and Liang Shao caught a cold, and the ground is cold in winter, so they shouldn't be able to sleep on the floor, and they might infect you with the cold."

"Recently, many people have had trouble with this water."

Tai Yicheng and Yu Jinhai remembered that these two unlucky children fell into the lake on the way back to school yesterday, and they came to their dormitory to borrow the bathroom to take a bath.

"Okay, since they have a cold, we won't go to your dormitory to disturb their rest." Tai Yicheng and Yu Jinhai didn't hesitate, and turned their idea to another acquaintance, "Let's go to Ye Hua's dormitory to make a bed on the floor."

Such a large-scale water leak must not be delayed. On the same day, she rushed to find a plumbing maintenance worker to investigate the water pipe problem in the dormitory building.

However, the plumbing maintenance workers spent the whole afternoon checking all the pipes in the dormitory building, and found no leaks. Such humidity cannot be attributed to the damp and cold weather in winter. After all, there are still a few rooms. The dorms are dry, which is amazing.

Because they couldn't find the reason, the plumbing maintenance workers had to go back first, saying that they would bring some tools to check tomorrow, and by the way, observe whether the few dormitories that did not leak will suffer tomorrow.

Li Mingxue and Liang Shao, who went to the infirmary, came back after dark. Both of them had medical tapes on their hands that were used to stop bleeding and press pressure after hanging water, so no need to ask, Gu Rong knew that they went to hang water.

And the complexions of the two of them seemed to be better than when they just woke up this morning. Sure enough, the infusion would improve their condition sooner.

Li Mingxue probably heard about the water leak in the dormitory building from the dormitory aunt, so he asked as soon as he entered the door: "Errong, Boss Shen, is there a leak in our dormitory?"

Shen Qiuji answered him: "No leakage."

"Oh, that's good. I'm scared when I see water now, and I don't even want to take a bath." Li Mingxue opened the food he brought back from the cafeteria and ate it at the table.

"Me too." Liang Shao also brought a meal, and said while still chewing on the meat, "I don't even want to drink water."

Gu Rong was delighted to hear it: "Then you will die of thirst?"

"Drink Fat House Happy Water." Liang Shao took out the Coke he bought and showed it off, then opened it and took a big sip, and sighed contentedly, "Isn't this better than water?"

"Aren't you still catching a cold, why don't you drink hot water these days." Gu Rong smiled, picked up his pajamas and towels and walked to the bathroom.

Even in winter, he has to take a bath every night.

Besides, how comfortable it is to take a hot bath in winter, but it will be a bit cold just after undressing, and to Gu Rong, the cold is not worth mentioning in front of the cleanliness.

After entering the bathroom, Gu Rong closed the ventilation window of the bathroom first, and then began to take off his clothes - if the window was not closed, the cold winter wind would blow into the room, and it would be very cold on the exposed skin.

In addition, there is no bathroom heater in the dormitory, so every time Gu Rong takes a bath in winter, he closes the window first, and then opens the window to ventilate after taking off his clothes and releasing the hot water. Passed out in the bathroom without circulation.

Gu Rong did as usual, opened the window again, stood under the shower head, and began to apply shampoo on his head.

He heard the rustling sound of the water in the shower falling on the ground, and saw that the steaming mist soon filled the bathroom into a blank white, and his vision was blocked by the mist, gradually becoming a little blurry, but Gu Rong Always keep your eyes open and dare not close them.

The experience of suffering from back pain caused Gu Rong to have a great psychological shadow on the matter of taking a bath and closing his eyes.

Now he only closes his eyes when using facial cleanser, but the closed eyes last for a short time. For this reason, he specially changed to a milder facial cleanser, the kind that can open his eyes during the process of washing his face - just because he is afraid Another ghost walked around him treading water in a bath.

But taking a bath in winter is really comfortable. Gu Rong was washed by the warm water all over his body, and gradually relaxed his heartstrings. When it was time to rinse his hair, Gu Rong specially tilted his head back, for fear that water and foam would get into his body. Eye.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, Gu Rong suddenly saw the ventilation window of the bathroom through the hazy white mist, and it was closed again at some point, so that the fog in the bathroom became thicker and thicker.

But Gu Rong remembered that he opened the window after the hot water was released.

Did he forget today?

Gu Rong was a little puzzled. He frowned and just stood on tiptoe to open the window, but the water sprayed from the shower suddenly became extremely cold, like ice water that had just melted. pour down.Not to mention that Gu Rong was drenched in the cold, the water flow from the shower suddenly increased, and shot into Gu Rong's eyes like sharp arrows, instantly soaking Gu Rong's eyes so much that he couldn't open them.

Is there no hot water?

Gu Rong was terribly frozen, and kept panting and shivering. This kind of situation without hot water also happened in summer, and it was so fast that people had no time to react, but before he even opened his eyes, he realized that something was wrong. The place.

—he could no longer hear the splash of water falling on the ground.

My ankles seemed to be wrapped in warm water, as if I was stepping on water that could submerge my ankles, and the water was rising extremely fast, as soon as I inhaled, it reached my knees, and when I exhaled, that The water covered his waist again, and when Gu Rong opened his eyes, the water had already reached his chest.

The side pit originally used to drain the water seemed to have lost its function and was blocked, so the water could not flow out. Gu Rong immediately reached out to open the door, but the door of the bathroom in their dormitory opened inward. When the bathroom was full of water, the water The pressure made it almost impossible for Gu Rong to open the door from the inside.

"Shen Qiuji!"

"Young Master Liang! Li Mingxue!"

"Help me—!"

While calling for help from his roommates and Shen Qiuji's names, Gu Rong took the shampoo bottle and smashed on the door, but at this time the water was already enough to float Gu Rong, and he could hardly even step on the ground. The resistance is so great that it is very difficult for Gu Rongguang to swing his arms, let alone smash the glass of the bathroom door with the shampoo bottle.

No one outside responded to Gu Rong. At this time, the bathroom was like a sealed space, and no sound could come out. The shower head was still spraying extremely cold ice water, which made Gu Rong numb all over. .

He was trembling, leaning against the ledge on the wall to try to float his body, choking on several mouthfuls of water while trying to reach out to the ventilation window of the bathroom, trying to open the window, so that the water would never be able to fill the bathroom, Gu Rong still has a chance to save himself.

This plan was also carried out smoothly. This window, which can be opened with a simple push, almost exhausted all of Gu Rong's energy, but it opened anyway.

A steady stream of cold wind mixed with a bit of fishy smell poured in from the window and hit Gu Rong's face, making his teeth chatter with cold, but he greedily sucked in the air that could keep him alive.

Gu Rong tugged at the corners of his lips, and was about to show a relaxed smile after being rescued temporarily, but the corners of his lips only rose halfway, when he saw a pair of fat arms that were swollen by blisters and looked like giants stretched out from the water in front of him , move toward the window.

However, the window that Gu Rong used to save his life was closed again.

Gu Rong opened his eyes wide, his lips trembled and murmured a few words "No", survival is always a human instinct, and Gu Rong didn't care where the extra hand came from, and hurriedly reached out to the window again to ask for it. open the window.

But how can the hands that close the window do what Gu Rong wishes?

It turned around and grabbed Gu Rong's neck, and a black-haired head protruded from the water. Under the water, the hair rippled along the current, enveloping Gu Rong like algae and sinking; while the water surface On the ground, Gu Rong met a pair of black eyes from the wet hair. The owner of the corpse opened his lips, as if he had desperately called for help before he died, but no one heard his call—— Just like Gu Rong at this time.

It held Gu Rong with its hand and pressed it down into the water. The moment it was pushed down, Gu Rong saw an extremely huge corpse floating in front of him through the unclean water, and it also sank along with Gu Rong. Come down, and its mouth that was opened wide at this time is now raised to both sides, showing a satisfied smile.

The feeling of suffocation caused Gu Rong's lungs to burn like fire. During such torture, Gu Rong recalled in a trance that Li Mingxue and Liang Shao had persuaded him to learn swimming yesterday. At that time, he said that he could not swim, so he would not will come close to drowning him.

And Gu Rong really didn't expect that he could drown in the bathroom even after taking a shower.

The author has something to say: Rong: When collecting my body, please take off my clothes, thank you.
