Strange Story of Strange House

Looking back now, that day was unexpectedly smooth. The few people who seldom camped successfully set up their tents and lit a bonfire.

The sky gradually darkened, and the luxuriant forest was gradually swallowed up by the night. Tang Xue watched and felt a little flustered for some reason.She was also afraid of the dark at ordinary times, she didn't think much about it, she just shrank to Jiang Yu's side, and whispered: "Jiang Yu, I'm a little scared."

"Afraid?" Jiang Yu glanced at her in surprise, thinking that she was afraid of the dark, so he comforted, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"What are you talking about?" Tang Xi walked over with a smile and sat down beside Tang Xue.

"Xiaoxue is a little scared." Jiang Yu hugged Tang Xue and said helplessly to Tang Xi.

"Afraid? Oh, it's the first time for Xiaoxue to go camping, so it's inevitable to be afraid." Tang Xi stretched out his hand to take her from Jiang Yu's arms. Tang Xue hesitated for a moment, then obediently leaned into her elder sister's arms.

Jiang Yu looked at the two sisters clinging to each other, thinking that after all they were girls, Tang Xi might be more suitable than him to comfort Tang Xue, so he went to prepare the big dinner at night with peace of mind.

Tang Xi embraced Tang Xue's shoulders, and patted his palms rhythmically. This soft and gentle movement calmed Tang Xue's emotions very well. The two sisters leaned together and talked intimately.

"We chose a good time to come. When the sky is completely dark, you can see fireflies in a deeper place! There are many, many fireflies flying in the forest, fluorescent dots, floating up and down, and they look very beautiful."

firefly?

Tang Xue's eyes lit up when she heard the words. For Tang Xue who grew up in the city, fireflies were very rare. This kind of bewitchingly beautiful insect at night aroused her great interest.

"Can you take me to see it?"

"Of course, I decided to come here just to let you see fireflies." Tang Xi stroked Tang Xue's hair with a gentle smile, "Let's go now, it's getting dark soon, and you can pick up fireflies by the way." Bring back some firewood."

"Well," Tang Xue stood up and looked around for a while, and found that Jiang Yu was busy by the fire, so she stopped calling for him to go with her, and Tang Xi was urging her hard, so she said loudly to Jiang Yu, " I want to see fireflies" and followed Tang Xi to the depths of the forest, before he even had time to confirm whether Jiang Yu heard her words.

There were really many fireflies in the forest. Tang Xue was attracted by this kind of creatures. She watched them wander in the forest like stars all over the sky. In this dreamy scene, she followed Tang Xi to the deepest part of the forest step by step.

"Do you like it?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.

"I like it! It's so beautiful!"

"As long as you like it..." Tang Xi paused, "After all, this is the last gift I will give you."

"What, what?!"

The sudden momentum made Tang Xue fall forward unexpectedly, and in front of her was a huge pit with a depth of more than ten meters - the landscape of this forest was peculiar, and the ground was not always flat. There are also huge sunken pits on the big slope. Weeds are overgrown on the slope and strange rocks are in the pit.

Under Tang Xue was a huge pit full of rocks.

It has to be said that a person's desire to survive when encountering danger can stimulate great physical potential. The moment Tang Xue fell into the pit, she grabbed the stone by the pit with her backhand, and her whole body was suspended in midair.

"Sister! Sister, pull me up!" Tang Xue asked Tang Xi anxiously for help. Tang Xi was the only one behind her. The moment she was pushed down, Tang Xue knew who did it, but she couldn't believe it.After so many years of sisterhood, she would rather believe that Tang Xi pushed her by mistake because he didn't stand firm.

But Tang Xi sneered: "If I would pull you up, why would I push you down?"

"why?"

"I hate you." Tang Xi squatted down condescendingly, looked at his sister struggling to climb the edge of the huge pit with disgust, and said coldly, "I hate you, Tang Xue.

"We are children born of one father, why are you better than me in everything?

"You have a father, mother, brother who loves you, and Jiang Yu who loves you...how am I worse than you? Why do I have nothing? My parents don't like me, what have they given me except child support? Pay attention to me, I try to do my best in everything! But he never looks at me! I am also his daughter!

"Jiang Yu is such a good man, he actually likes you! I have liked him for so many years, how can I be worse than you? Why did you become his girlfriend in the end!

"What's so good about you!? Every time you pretend to be innocent and treat me well in front of me with the man I love, do you really think I will appreciate you? Let me tell you! I hate you, I can't wait Go to hell!"

"I... I never thought of hurting you. Please, sister, pull me up!" Tang Xue grabbed the edge of the huge pit with all her strength, digging deeply into the soil with her fingers, her knuckles turned white, and her fingertips There was also blood oozing...

"No, Tang Xue, you are going to die, I want you to die, in, here, in!"

"Why!! Why are you doing this to me?!"

Tang Xi straightened Tang Xue's messy hair with his hands, and then broke off her fingers one by one.

"No! Please sister, don't kill me! Don't! Ah—"

Tang Xi watched Tang Xue fall into the huge pit indifferently, and soon there was no sound.She waited for a while, and there was no movement at the bottom of the pit, then she stood up, brushed her hair, put on a terrified expression, and ran towards the camp.

In the camp, everyone was still busy preparing the dinner for the evening, and they were a little surprised to see her embarrassed face: "Tang...Tang Xue? Or Tang Xi? What's the matter? Did something happen?"

"Save my sister!" After looking around, Tang Xi softened his voice slightly, plunged into Jiang Yu's arms and cried, "Jiang Yu! Save my sister!"

"Xiaoxue? What's the matter? Calm down!" Jiang Yu held her by the shoulder and forced her to calm down, "What's wrong with Tang Xi?"

"My sister took me to see the fireflies. She walked ahead of me to open the way, and accidentally stepped on the ground and fell into the pit." Tang Xi made up what happened just now, and even flinched into Jiang Yu's arms in fear.

Jiang Yu hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, take us to the place where she fell, and we will definitely be able to rescue her."

"Hmm." Tang Xi buried his head in Jiang Yu's shoulder socket, and gritted his teeth fiercely in a place where no one could see.

It's completely dark, and it's hard to find someone on unfamiliar terrain who won't give you any feedback.In a state of panic, "Tang Xue" couldn't even recall which pit "Tang Xi" fell into. He could only determine a general direction. A group of people carried torches and walked in the direction Tang Xi pointed. After searching all night, I finally failed.

******

"Following the wrong direction, how could it be possible to find me." Tang Xue's voice awakened Lin Chi from his memories, Lin Chi came back to his senses, and found that Tang Xue had recovered from the pain of being fused by the corpse girl just now , she patted the non-existent dust on the long skirt, stood up, "Want to know the ending of the story? This ending has been sealed here for 24 years."

Lin Chi felt that his voice was a little choked, and it was a little difficult to speak, and it took a lot of effort to say "yes".

Tang Xue dragged her skirt and walked towards him, and stopped a step away from him. She raised her hand, and a corpse girl suddenly appeared on her slender hand. The girl lowered her head and kissed the butterfly on her fingertips.

"This kind of beautiful butterfly likes to lay eggs in the body of dying people. This forest is one of the largest gathering places of corpse girls in the world. The place where Tang Xi pushed me down happened to be a stone pit where corpse girls gathered It has been a long time since there have been dying people in this forest, how could they let me go?

"Do you know the feeling of being torn apart by the corpse girl and entering the body?

"It hurts, it hurts. I will never forget that pain in my life. The person I trusted so much made me suffer so much!

"Tang Xi... Heh, early the next morning, they called the police, and the police quickly entered the forest, but, I don't know if it was God who was short-sighted, and actually helped that bitch Tang Xi, and the dead body Ji is a butterfly invisible to human beings. When they got into my body in groups, my body disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"I'm standing here, watching them pass by my body again and again, but they can't see me. That bitch Tang Xi lied that she was the one who fell, and Tang Xue was the one who survived, and then took my body as a matter of course. Life, enjoying my parents' love, falling in love with my boyfriend, getting married, having children... I just followed her, watched her live my life under my identity, I just watched it for ten years, every day Seeing her live happily, I wish she could die, but she is still alive!

"Heh, after ten years, I no longer believe that Heaven's Dao Wheel will repay you badly. I died so painfully, but she didn't get retribution!

"I went back to this forest and made a wish with these butterflies who have been with me for ten years. I want to forget all this pain. In the end, I got my wish. I really forgot everything. I wandered in this city without any worries. It’s been 14 years. It’s ridiculous that after 14 years, I got my memory back by myself.”

Lin Chi took a step back subconsciously, and leaned on Lou Qi who had been supporting him all the time: "Did I do something wrong? I should have listened to you long ago, and shouldn't have helped her find some memories."

Before Lou Qi could answer, Tang Xue took over the conversation: "No, you are right, and I am also right, why don't you get your memory back? I have been waiting for 24 years. Come by yourself. Tang Xi, she should be punished!"

******

There was silence on the way back, Tang Xue was immersed in memories and couldn't extricate herself, Lou Qi had always talked less, Lin Chi leaned against Lou Qi, and had no desire to speak.Maybe it's because the souls of many Corpse Girls and Tang Xue were merged in the process of recovering the memory. Compared with before, she looks more real and more like a person now.

The traffic in City K has always been congested, and it was almost dusk when we returned to the noodle shop.Danqing thoughtfully served dinner to the three of them, and attached a document: "This is what the BOSS asked me to investigate before you left, and the results have already been obtained."

Lou Qi took the document, Lin Chi glanced at it, and the moment Lou Qi turned the page, he saw a familiar face——Tang Xue's face.He poked his head over and found that the information was not Tang Xue's, but Tang Xuan's life.

"Why do you want to check on Senior Tang Xuan?"

"I don't believe that there will be two people in the world who have the same face for no reason," Lou Qi turned a page backwards, "Tang Xuan's father entered the Tang family, and her mother's name is Tang Xue."

"What!" Lin Chi snatched the document from Lou Qi's hand in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Tang Xue's name on the mother column, "This is really..."

"Oh, it turned out to be that woman's daughter." Tang Xue sneered, her eyes dim.Lin Chi glanced at her with some hesitation, and persuaded: "Senior sister, although it is unfair to you, Tang Xuan is innocent."

"I know, even though I don't like this child, I won't get angry with her." Tang Xue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, evoking a wicked smile, and then looked at Lou Qi, "Aren't you going to stop me? I'm going to kill someone gone."

"The karma between you and Tang Xi, you are naturally qualified to resolve it, as long as it doesn't hurt the innocent, I will not interfere." Lou Qi, who had his documents robbed, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth calmly.

"Even so, I still want to thank you for your generosity." Tang Xue raised her skirt and bowed to Lou Qi, then she turned to Lin Chi and said, "If you don't want Tang Xuan to be implicated, just let her disappear for a while .”

"disappear?"

"Disappear from this city, go on a trip or go abroad, leave this city, otherwise..." Tang Xue paused, "Think of a way, little brother, I don't want to hurt that child, just do me a favor, okay?" ?”

"……it is good."

In the past few days, Lin Chi has been running around for this matter, devoting himself to helping Tang Xuan and Tang Xue.But when things really came to a result, he felt physically and mentally exhausted because of the cruel and unexpected results.As soon as he returned to Yunlou, he collapsed on the sofa.

"What's the matter? You look tired." Huaiyin sat down beside him, and Lin Chi habitually stuffed his head into his arms.

In the familiar embrace, Lin Chi told Huaiyin vividly about his experience in the past few days, and finally, he also expressed his entanglement: "Tang Xi did something wrong, there is no doubt about it. But if I help Senior sister went to take her life, didn't I also become a victim? Senior sister is dead, but Tang Xi is still alive. I don't know if I have the right to deprive a person of life, even if she is a bad person. "

"Everything has a cause and effect. We are all in the way of heaven, and no one is so strong against the heavens. What you and Tang Xue did today is not the retribution arranged by the heavens?" Huaiyin combed his son's hair, gently Enlightened way.

"Do you hate that man back then? The one who betrayed you..."

"Your Aunt Yun told you?" Huaiyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Of course I hate it, but it's a pity that those whores died too early before I can clean them up with my own hands."

"Don't worry, he will definitely fall in love with his girlfriend, cheat on him, get married, and his wife cheats on him..." Lin Chi held Huaiyin's hand and comforted him distressedly, but the person who was comforted couldn't help laughing.Lin Chi twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that this must be a success in consolation, right?

After finally waiting for Huaiyin to finish laughing, Lin Chi pouted to express his grievance. Huaiyin rubbed his soft hair: "Do you have the answer in your heart? If you decide, just do it! Hurry up and end this matter. Rainbow Dash always asks Daddy why he doesn't play with him for a few days."

Thinking of Yun Bao mumbling and complaining that his father didn't play with him, Lin Chi's heart softened: "Okay, I'll go and play with him later."

Now that he had made a decision, Lin Chi was not one to procrastinate, so he quickly called Tang Xuan.

"Sister, I'm Lin Chi. That's it. The thing you asked me to do a while ago has come to fruition. I have a way to make that person who is exactly like you disappear from the school. No one can replace you after that. It’s just that if you want to solve this matter, you still need your cooperation.”

"How to cooperate?"

"I need you to leave for a while. If you stay in this city when dealing with her, it will not be good for you. What will happen? The master I went to ask for help told me a bunch of technical terms, I don't remember Stay, it's not good for you anyway. I won't hurt you, right senior sister?"

"Who is she? Why is she exactly like me?"

"It's a ghost, and ghosts are ever-changing. So I said I hope you can leave for a while, so that I can ask the master to deal with this ghost, so that I won't hurt you by mistake."

"Leave? What are we going to do?"

"If you're going on a trip or something, just don't stay in this city."

"Primary brother, you didn't lie to me, did you? You won't wait for me to come back, I will already be another person, right?"

Impossible, but if you don't leave, you can't even be a senior sister!Lin Chi said silently in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "How could I lie to you? Can you trust me? If I really want to hurt you, I'll just let it go. Why bother. When you come back from the trip, everything will be fine. It's resolved. Besides, I also think that senior sister, you need to go out, there are so many bad things recently, it's good to go out and relax."

"I'm not doubting you... how long will it be?"

"How long? Let me think about it. I think it's best to be one to two months. Oh, by the way, don't bring contact tools, and don't let people contact you. If you find it inconvenient, you can bring your mobile phone, but you have to change it Zhang card, don’t let other people know the number of the new card until the end of the tour, you can say goodbye to everyone before leaving, but once you leave, don’t contact anyone again.”

"Will it really get better? No one will replace me?"

"Really! Sister, trust me! When you come back in two months, everything will be back to normal."

"Okay...Xiao Chi, I believe you. Besides you, I don't know who else I can trust...Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Well, no more, that's all. Senior sister, you should be ready to go soon! Don't delay too long."

"Well, thank you!"

"You're welcome, so let's do this first? Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chi reluctantly smiled at his father, "I always feel that I'm sorry for Senior Sister."

"Don't think so, you're trying to save her." Huaiyin pinched Lin Chi's soft face amusedly, and comforted her.Lin Chi thought about it, and felt that Huaiyin's words made sense. Tang Xuan could save his life if he left here.

After solving the heavy psychological burden, Lin Chi put his arms around Huaiyin's waist, ready to catch up on a good night's sleep.

A week later, Tang Xuan was standing outside the gate of the Tang family with his luggage, a smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"I am back."
