Chapter 32: The Dissolute Lady (4) Liu Binghai looked back at him. ...
Liu Binghai looked back at him.
"Do you know the cemetery in the back mountain?"
"I know him." Liu Bingkai said.
"Would you like to burn the clothes?" the manager asked again.
"Do it." Liu Binghai answered straightforwardly.
After a while, the housekeeper disappeared. When he returned, he took a bag of clothes and threw it in front of Liu Binghai. He said, "Go, take this to the fifth grave in the cemetery and burn it."
He then threw her a string of copper coins and said, "Remember, burn it clean."
Liu Binghai looked at the bundle, which was very thick.
He picked it up and said to the housekeeper, “Yes.”
The Houshan Grave Mound is located in Houshan, which means the mountain behind and hence its name.
There is a cemetery there, which is the old cemetery in the town. The people buried there should be the elderly who died a long time ago. The new batch of dead people have been moved to the new cemetery.
Liu Binghai didn't know who the bundle was burned for, but she went because the owner told her to. She was just going to make a few copper coins anyway, and she didn't want to know anything new.
She pushed the wheelchair around the alley and walked towards the back of the town. When she reached the back mountain, it was already dark. The cemetery was very old and covered with weeds. From a distance, it looked like the graves were next to each other and the land was next to each other.
After searching for a long time, I finally found the fifth grave.
The grave stood tall, surrounded by weeds, connected to the grave next to it. However, this grave had some small white flowers blooming on it, making it look a little different.
He lit a piece of firewood, pointed at the bundle, and Liu Binghai looked up at the grave.
I don’t know if I need to say anything to the deceased, and the host family hasn’t told me either. But I can’t just come and burn the body and then leave.
But she didn't know what to say, so she could only pick up some firewood and said simply to the grave: "The Song family is here to burn something for you, please keep it well."
Night slowly fell, the cemetery gradually became colder, and the sound of the drifting ice sea also became clear and cool. After he said this, the wind suddenly blew up, and the leaves rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound.
She had never been afraid of anything, but she still found the rustling sound in this environment a bit scary.
So he quickly set the bundle on fire and watched it turn into a ball of black ash in the flames.
The rustling sound continued. It was getting dark and the temperature was dropping. The drifting ice sea was like a thin layer and it was a little chilly.
My ears were filled with inexplicable noises, and the leaves on the ground were rolling around as if someone was controlling their steps.
In a trance, she heard a noise from behind, and something flashed before her eyes, as if a complex black light suddenly descended on the cemetery.
Haunted... Liu Binghai's heart tightened, and he regretted not bringing a long knife.
Otherwise, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost, he must expose that person's secret.
Just as I was thinking about it, the black light flashed and suddenly appeared.
A ragged child in rags appeared in front of her.
His features were regular, but his clothes were torn in the sleeves and there was a hole in his shoe.
Liu Bingkai said: "It's you."
The boy looked at her and suddenly revealed a faint, slightly mischievous smile, which was somewhat different from the solemn expression on his face when he snatched the Chinese medicine in the street last time.
What are you doing in the cemetery late at night?
Still following her?
Liu Binghai said: "What are you doing here again?"
The boy raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, which looked quite nice.
The last time they met, he didn't say a word and Liu Binghai thought he was a mute.
This time, she spoke quickly, looking at Liu Binghai and saying, "What are you doing in the cemetery so late at night?"
Liu Binghai chuckled, "I should be the one asking you this. Why are you following me to the cemetery so late at night?"
Before he could finish his words, the wind started to blow in the cemetery again. The rustling sound of the leaves seemed to be eating people, which sounded a bit scary. Another ball of black light was swaying not far away.
The boy looked around and said to Liu Binghai seriously, "Sister, it's not safe here."
Oh, are you worried about my safety?
Liu Binghai looked at the boy coldly, but before he could say anything, the noise around him became louder, the night grew darker, and rows of graves blocked his already blurry vision.
"Sister, this is too unsafe. Let's go quickly." The boy said as he was about to go over and push Liu Binghai's wheelchair.
Liu Binghai subconsciously knocked his arm over and shouted angrily, "Get away from here, little brat."
The boy said, "Sister, it's really dangerous."
Liu Binghai: "It has nothing to do with you even if I die."
After saying that, she turned around and pushed the wheelchair to leave. However, she was a disabled person after all, and could not compete with the young boy with healthy limbs. The wheelchair had not taken a few steps when the boy suddenly caught up with her, changed the direction, and pushed her towards another exit.
This is to take her to find Zhan Haotian...
Liu Binghai only regretted that he forgot to bring a long sword, and he must prepare it when he returned.
"I won't follow you..."
There will be no future with you, Brother Zhan. Before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw the black light rushing towards her, like a leopard, baring its ferocious teeth and with murderous eyes.
Liu Binghai's heart tightened...
It's a wolf.
There are wolves in this cemetery.
"I didn't lie to your sister. It's really dangerous. Let's go!" The boy said and pushed Liu Binghai's wheelchair quickly. The wolf was chasing him relentlessly and was about to swallow them both in one bite.
There was a hillside ahead. Liu Binghai looked at the wolf behind him, made up his mind, picked up the boy and put him on his lap, then pushed the wheelchair down the hillside.
At this time, wheels are still faster than legs.
The boy screamed in her lap.
The drifting ice sea rushed uphill against the wind. The center of gravity of the wheelchair was not very stable and she almost fell. The wind seemed to leave marks on her face, which was painful.
The boy felt like he was flying on her legs...
The center of gravity was unstable, but the car did not overturn. The little wolf howled in the back.
The wheelchair flew like a rocket, and all the hair on Liu Binghai's forehead stood up.
We were about to rush down the hill, and there was a flat road ahead. Without the inertia of the hill, the wheels were useless.
She looked back at the little wolf, then continued to rush down the hillside in her wheelchair, leaning over and touching the slope with both hands, her palms chasing the fine gravel and sand and swinging them behind her.
The sky was filled with sand and gravel, and the little wolf was afraid of the gravel. He howled and dodged, then rushed forward again, but his speed was not as fast as before.
Liu Binghai supported himself with his hands and swung his arms around behind him. A piece of gravel happened to fly into the corner of the wolf's eye. The wolf howled and stopped, shaking its head and swaying.
At this time, the drifting ice sea had rushed down the hillside. He looked back at the little wolf who was shaking his head, pushed the boy back to the ground from his legs, and shouted, "Run!"
One of them ran while the other chased the wheelchair. When they ran back to the town, they were already out of breath and had no strength left.
By this time, the night had deepened and the market in town had closed, leaving almost no one around.
Liu Binghai turned her wheelchair towards He's house, and the boy followed her in shock.
"Sister, I didn't lie to you, it was really dangerous! What were you doing there?!"
Liu Binghai glanced at him coldly, "Didn't you follow me all the way here? Why are you asking me this?"
The boy didn't blush, and said calmly, "I heard my sister say that it was the Song family who asked you to burn that person's clothes. This Song family is really evil, to assign you this job."
"What's the big deal about burning clothes?" Liu Binghai touched his cuffs and was fortunate that a string of copper coins was not lost.
The Song family was quite generous. They gave a string of copper coins for burning a bag of clothes.
The boy was a little angry and said to her, "You don't know, strange things happen at that grave. Most people don't dare to go there."
No wonder he's so generous...
The little wolf was gone. The two men gradually slowed down their pace, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked slowly on the street.
"The Song family is also bad. They don't deal with their own problems themselves, but let others deal with them."
Liu Binghai tilted his head, "What do you mean?"
"Sister, don't you know?" the boy said, "The Song family's grave is where the old man of the Song family is buried. When he was young, the old man had a special fetish. He liked young girls' clothes!"
The Song family is famous not only because of their adopted son who is a high-ranking official in the capital, but also because of some legends about the old man of the Song family during his lifetime.
When the old man was alive, he liked to smell young girls' clothes.
But he only liked clothes, not young girls. He didn't even look at the little girls and maids in the room, but when there was no one around, he would chase them and put on their old clothes.
I just like the smell of that.
But it was just a sniff, and he didn't do anything out of line, so the maids couldn't say anything. Besides, he was the master, so even if he did something to the maids, they could only endure it.
Whose master doesn’t have a maidservant?
The master of the Song family did not steal, rob, or bully young girls. He just coveted the clothes. The maids couldn't say anything, and the old lady of the Song family couldn't say anything either.
Anyway, I didn’t marry a concubine, so let him smell my clothes if he wants to.
But if this habit is not given up, it will become more and more addictive. The old man of the Song family's addiction is getting stronger and stronger. Later, he simply did nothing every day and just surrounded himself with a pile of young girls' clothes, thinking about how to spend the rest of his life.
The Song family then realized that the matter was serious and wondered if they had some psychological problem.
Only then did I go see a doctor.
But the doctor could only treat the disease and had no way to deal with this habit, so the old lady of the Song family ordered people to tie up the old man and not allow him to get close to those clothes again.
The old man of the Song family was in so much pain that he couldn't eat or swallow. Not long after, he was almost dead.
The old lady let him go and asked him crying why he liked those clothes so much.
The old man couldn't say anything. Before he died, he only asked his wife to burn some of the maids' old clothes for him every once in a while, otherwise, he would be worried that death would be worse than life when he got there.
The old lady agreed with tears in her eyes, but when she saw the old man close his eyes, she regretted it too late.
If I had known this earlier, I would have just let him go and not forced him to quit this inexplicable addiction.
After he passed away, the Song family burned some maidservant clothes for him every few days as the old man had said, but the old lady regretted it every day and her health was getting worse and worse.
Liu Binghai sighed after hearing this. It turned out that those clothes were burned for a clothes fetishist.
After the boy finished talking about the Song family, he continued, "But there are problems with the cemetery every day. After the Song family burned it a few times, they dared not go there anymore. Now, this time, they found my sister."
Liu Binghai touched the string of copper coins and asked, "Are there wolves every day?"
"Wolves are rare, and this is the first time I've seen one," the boy said. "But it's haunted! Ghosts appear like smoke and talk to people. It's really scary. Don't go there again, sister."
It wouldn't be good if there were wolves every day.
Liu Binghai turned around and looked at him, "You've told me so much, but now you should tell me what Zhan Haotian asked you to do."
The boy was asked the key point and was speechless for a moment. As he was about to reach the He family, his face fell and he said sullenly, "Sister! Brother Zhan is sincere to you, please don't ignore him!"
Liu Binghai raised his bright eyes and looked at the boy.
The boy was startled by the sudden gaze.
Yun Kexin's face, although not stunningly beautiful, is also one of the most beautiful women in the world. She has a strong temper and is not afraid of anyone she meets. She exudes arrogance from the inside out.
When staring at people, the light in his eyes seems to be able to penetrate through and hit people's bones.
Liu Binghai has a personality very similar to her, so this time, no one thought there was anything wrong with Yun Kexin.
The boy looked at the pride in her eyes and whispered, "Could it be that Sister wants to live alone for the rest of her life?"
"Why not?" Liu Binghai said as he reached the door of the He family. "It's absolutely impossible for your brother Zhan and I to be together anymore. Go back and tell him that if he bothers me again, I'll have no choice but to leave town and find my own way out. I'm afraid my life will only get worse. If he still has any sympathy for me, don't force me anymore."
The boy was a little anxious, "But why? Haven't you and Brother Zhan always been in love?"
Liu Binghai looked back at the boy.
Silly child, that was to vent his anger on Master Zhang...
Naturally, this was no use to the young man. Liu Binghai looked up at the sky, sighed, and said in a gentle tone, "It's getting late. You should go back early."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the He family.
"Sister!" The boy was anxious and grabbed Liu Binghai's hand. He wanted to say something, but suddenly felt something wrong with his hand.
He was startled and grabbed Liu Binghai's palm. He saw that the skin was all ulcerated and the palm was covered with red blood marks.
It must have been caused by swinging the soil with my palms on the hillside just now.
"Sister, your hand..."
It's all blood...
Liu Binghai pushed his hand away and said, "I'm fine. You should go back earlier."
After saying that, he went into the He family and ignored the boy.
…
In the thatched house behind the He family compound, the chicken is still waiting for the ice to flow into the sea.
Seeing her come back, she flapped her wings like a general waiting for triumph.
Liu Binghai didn't know whether this chicken was transformed from a human. It lived like a human every day, never crowing or waking up in the morning. It just slept after eating and was as lazy as a pig.
She pushed the wheelchair into the thatched house, and the chicken stood at the door, looking at her eagerly.
She didn't understand why she was always popular with chickens.
The bloody mark on the palm of her hand was painful. She endured the pain, moved her body slowly to the bed, and then lifted up her skirt.
I rushed up the hill too hard just now and the bones in my legs are dislocated again.
She felt around but couldn't figure out where the bone gap was. She was afraid she would have to trouble the eldest brother of the He family tomorrow.
There is only He Chuanxiong living in the He family's courtyard. He has no father, no mother, no children, and it is convenient for Liu Binghai to live here.
We are just a single man and a single woman, and it doesn't sound good to say it out loud.
But is there any reputation worse than “□□”?
She looked at the leg and then at the chicken.
It seemed quite distressed, with a hint of sadness on its face...
The drifting ice sea looked at it, looked at it again, and looked at it again...
I could already feel it eager to try, but I couldn't stop it...
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the chicken let out a long "cluck, cluck" sound.
This chicken is very different from normal chicken.
The crowing is very random.
It seems that it is not willing to wake up in the morning, and it seems to crow only when it feels there is a special situation. Maybe it thinks it is a dog?
The long cry was particularly harsh, and Liu Binghai looked at it helplessly.
Changming woke up He Chuanxiong who was already fast asleep.
He seemed to know the chicken's nature very well and knew that when it clucked randomly, there would be trouble.
He Chuanxiong came to the thatched house with his clothes on, but he had only half of his sleeves put on. "What's wrong?"
The chicken stared at the drifting ice sea.
Liu Binghai's skirt was lifted up, revealing a broken leg. He Chuanxiong took a look and sighed, "Ouch!"
I'm afraid the bone is dislocated again.
Looking at the dark sky outside, Liu Binghai said, "It's okay. Sorry to disturb your rest. I'll pick it up tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" He Chuanxiong said, "Your leg has already been broken once. If you break it again, it won't last a night and it will be useless! You'll become a cripple and your beautiful face will be ruined..."
After saying that, he looked up at the drifting ice sea.
Yun Kexin's face was beautiful to all. It was dark at night, and he glanced at her, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
