Chapter 056: Cemetery Bones (12)
On the way back, the car was gone. There was a message on the phone that the car was towed away because it was blocking the road, and I had to go and get it with my ID.
Tao Xing took the car back and had it fixed at the repair shop. Before getting back in the car, she checked the messages from the past few days and found that her brother had called her several times and also sent her insulting messages.
But the topic changed quickly. At first, I urged him to go back and get married. But starting from yesterday, I suddenly stopped urging him. I said if he didn't want to get married, then he didn't have to, and it would be better for him to die out there and not come back.
Is this a loosening?
Tao Xingcai didn't believe it.
Grandma sent him a message, asking if he would be back today. Before leaving, he told her that he was going to stay at a friend's house for three days.
Tao Xing was typing a reply, but after thinking for a while, she decided to call back and talk to her grandma in person.
The call was connected, and there was a lot of chirping from the other end before I could hear clearly my grandma's voice: "Xiao Xing, I'm in the car, just passed the East Street overpass..." The voice came suddenly, with a few ding-dong sounds, as if a phone had fallen and rolled over, followed by a beep, and the other party hung up.
Tao Xing was shocked and turned around abruptly.
The vehicle kicked up gravel and dust, passed through a path covered with weeds, turned the steering wheel, and stopped sideways on the road.
The black car had no choice but to stop, and several yellow-haired young men got out, holding iron bars and saying, "You dare to stop our car? You're looking for death!"
Tao Xing got out of the car and saw her grandmother in the car.
He twisted his wrist.
The young men came forward with sticks.
Tao Xing walked forward without stopping.
With a crackling sound, the young men fell to the ground in all directions, their sticks tumbling down, and they had no idea what was happening, but none of them could stand up.
Tao Xing opened the car door: "Grandma, are you okay?"
"Fortunately, at least they don't dare to hit an old man like me."
Tao Xing helped people get out of the car. This extended luxury car had spacious seats and a photo frame on the front of the car. He glanced at it and saw that it was a family photo. Lin Yan was in the middle, with a man and a woman next to him. They should be his parents.
"Did Lin Yan tie you up?" he asked.
Grandma nodded: "It should be him. He came to look for you twice, but couldn't find you. He also said that he couldn't get in touch with you. Today, a few people suddenly rushed in and said that their young master wanted to see you. He must want to force you to show up. Xiao Xing, this young master of the Lin family is not easy to mess with."
"Don't worry about him. I'll take you home first." Tao Xing helped the old man walk forward. Several people on the ground wanted to speak, but when they saw his glare, they swallowed their words and just looked at him in horror.
We drove back to the old street and went to the community hospital for a check-up. Grandma didn't have any injuries and was in good physical and mental condition.
When she got home, she saw that Xiaocai had indeed returned and was sleeping in the yard. After settling her grandmother down, Tao Xing saw a note on the table.
"If you want to see your family, come to the Lin family."
Lin Yan asked the kidnapper to leave this note. Tao Xing was in the cemetery and her cell phone could not be reached, so Lin Yan probably had no choice but to use the most primitive method of leaving a note.
What I mean is, the person has been rescued, so your threat is of no use.
But... Tao Xing thought about it and decided that it was not impossible to go to the Lin family.
"Xiao Xing, what did he say?" Grandma came over.
"It's about kidnapping you." Tao Xing said truthfully and showed her the note.
The old man sighed, "That young master Lin took a bracelet from me when he came yesterday, and told you to go find him if you wanted the bracelet. I guess you never went, so he asked someone to take me away today."
"That's great, I'll go get it back."
The old man waved his hands quickly: "I'm just complaining. I don't know what tricks Master Lin has waiting for you. You can't go."
"It's okay." Tao Xing said, "I also want to solve this matter thoroughly."
When the enthusiastic Aunt Wang heard that grandma was almost kidnapped, she quickly arranged for community volunteers to come and protect her. Tao Xing felt more relieved and took the note and went out.
As soon as I opened the gate, a cloud appeared above my head.
He looked up and smiled.
The cloud said: [I can’t hold on any longer, it will soon dissipate.]
Tao Xing: "How are you?"
[It's fine, I just miss you. Hey, there's the sound of a car. Are you not home yet, or are you going out?]
"I miss you too. I'm already home, but I have to go to the Lin family now."
The clouds flickered a few times: [You go...]
Before he could finish his words, the clouds and mist floated a few times and then dissipated.
It was so fast, Tao Xing had no choice but to drive forward.
In the cemetery, a slight breeze blew the weeds.
Helin felt unhappy when he heard Tao Xing say that he was going to Lin's house, but he couldn't contact her.
He had been standing at the entrance of the cave. Although it didn't matter where he was using the clouds to communicate, he subconsciously felt that the closer he was to the exit, the smoother the communication would be.
Now that the clouds had dispersed, he sighed and turned around.
Looking back at the skeletons, he smiled and said, "Has everyone left?"
Xiaodong said: "Some of them have already left." As he spoke, he saw a skeleton passing through the rock wall beside the stream, and the figure disappeared as if it were a wall-walking technique.
Looking around Helin, the place where people usually play around has become much quieter.
He smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you leave?"
"Hey, I've been with you for a long time, and I'm a little reluctant to leave you. I want to come and say goodbye to you again."
"Thank you." He Lin smiled again, as if he didn't want others to see his expression, and turned around, "I'm very happy, but we will be separated sooner or later, so there's no need to linger on it too much."
He didn't say anything else, and the white bones behind him didn't say anything either.
There was silence for a moment, but then a strange sound was heard coming from above, as if something was tapping gently on the stones, and there were also faint human voices muttering.
Helin walked forward in surprise, looking up intently.
Naturally, nothing can be seen, but this sound comes from above, from the human world.
The skeletons also stepped forward: "Aren't we unable to hear the sounds of the human world?"
Only Zixuan said that he could vaguely hear dogs barking, but that was when the passage was opened. Besides, dogs are intelligent.
But now they could clearly hear that it was the voice of a person speaking, and it was not yet the day when the channel would be opened.
It’s not Tao Xing, it’s someone else.
"I don't know what's going on either." He Lin said.
The man was banging away, his mumbling was inaudible, and after a while, there was music and the man's voice got louder, "Hello?"
Then he continued, "I'm at Beishan Cemetery right now, near the grave in the middle. Do you have the courage to come over?"
Then the muttering became louder and the bones below could hear it clearly.
I heard him say, "Damn it, I can't find him, I can't get in touch with him. I heard he always goes to the cemetery, I want to see what he does, but... I haven't seen him in the cemetery, there are roses around this grave, they haven't withered yet, could they be his gifts, he has a lover, who is already dead? That's not right, this person has been dead for decades, he wasn't even born when the person died, what is he doing, he's talking nonsense!"
There were knocking sounds and footsteps again, and the man seemed to be looking for something.
Helin had heard this voice when he was talking to Tao Xing through Yunduo.
He sighed and said, "This person is called Lin Yan. He comes from a wealthy family and was Tao Xing's former fiancé."
"Why is he here?" The skeletons looked confused. "He's not here to look for Mr. Tao, is he?"
"I don't know either."
"No matter what his family background is, he is just an ordinary person. Why can we hear his voice?"
Helin stroked his head, as if something was slowly emerging.
The music started playing again, and Lin Yan called out again. Then, he smiled and said, "You're at my house. Haha. OK, I'll be right back."
The skeletons: "He was angry just now, why is he so happy all of a sudden? The person who went to his house has a lot of face."
He Lin was slightly startled, remembering that he heard Tao Xing say from the clouds that she wanted to go to the Lin family.
He whispered, "It seems to be Tao Xing."
"What, Mr. Tao?" The skeletons were surprised.
The knocking stopped, and Lin Yan should be leaving. However, he didn't take many steps before he groaned and cursed: "Don't you have eyes?"
It seemed like another person came and bumped into him.
There was another "bang" sound, and Young Master Lin seemed to have hit the tombstone.
I couldn't hear the other person's voice from underground, and I didn't know what the other person said. I could only hear Lin Yan's words: "Fuck, my arm is scratched, look, it's bleeding, your apology is useless, get out of my way, I have something to do."
I don't know what he said, but I heard him say, "I don't have time to listen to you."
"Hey, hahaha, I am dying of laughter, Tao Chi, didn't you refuse to marry me? You even went so far as to ask your brother who was kicked out of the house to come here, why are you changing your mind now? You are saying now that you want to marry me, you are sick."
"Wow, your Bai Yueguang is cheating on you. She has been with his bodyguard for a long time. The two of them teamed up to cheat you out of money. Did you catch them in bed?"
"It's fine to drive him away, and it's fine to get all the money back, but you deserve it. Now you want to come to me again. What? Am I a living Buddha?"
"Coming to the cemetery is considered a sign of sincerity. Your sincerity is too cheap. Now you know you regret it. I don't want you anymore. I tell you, I only like your brother."
"He...he is willing. He is at my house now, waiting for me to come back to discuss the marriage."
Anyway, his grandmother is in his hands, how could he be unwilling?
Those yellow-haired guys were beaten so badly that they couldn't get up. They were so scared that no one had time to contact him. Lin Yan didn't know that the people had been rescued.
"Tao Chi, forget about this idea. I only want Tao Xing. Why are you kneeling down? It's useless even if you knock your head. Get out of my way."
After that, there was no more talking. I heard the footsteps gradually fading away, and I thought Lin Yan had already left.
Underground, the bones are silent.
After a while, they cautiously said to He Lin: "Mr. He, are you okay?"
The fire in Helin's eyes dimmed: "It's okay."
Xiao Nan said angrily: "This Tao Xing, just married you, and now she wants to discuss marriage with someone else?"
"Then isn't this against the law? It's bigamy."
"Can a ghost marriage with a ghost be counted in the world of the living?"
"This... Mr. He, don't be sad. Maybe there is a misunderstanding. This is just the one-sided statement of that Lin."
"But the person is at his house, that's the truth. Why did Mr. Tao go to find him?"
"this……"
There was a lot of chatter around him, and He Lin didn't hear clearly. He walked forward step by step as if his soul was taken away.
Then he reached out and pressed on the closed hole.
"Mr. He, what are you doing?" asked the people around him in a low voice.
"I...I want to go out." he murmured.
"Have you thought it through? You don't want to stay here anymore?" Xiaonan asked. Then he thought, "No, you mean you want to go to the human world? Isn't that passage only for humans, not ghosts?"
He Lin's thoughts were in chaos: "This Lin Yan should be my relative."
"What?"
"My tomb is where the Yin energy of the cemetery gathers. After various coincidences of time and place, a passage connecting the two worlds was formed next to it. This passage is related to the celestial opportunity and my tomb. Just now, Lin Yan's blood fell on my tombstone, and I suddenly felt that the passage was opened. I think it is because Lin Yan and I are related by blood that the two sides are connected. This opening is also an opportunity. I think we can get out."
The skeletons were shocked: "Really?"
"I'm not sure, let's give it a try." He Lin's palm floated on the rock wall. Bloodstains appeared on the uneven wall, covering the wall like spider silk.
"It's true." He Lin looked at the bloodshot and said, "Lin Yan is connected to me by blood, and that's why we can hear him speak."
Hougu was surprised again: "Could it be that Lin Yan is your son, Mr. He?"
He Lin: “…”
"Father and son both like the same person. Wow, that's bloody."
He Lin: “…”
"I should... not have a son." He Lin withdrew his hand, the red spider silk dissipated, the rock wall at the entrance of the cave gradually became transparent, and the steps leading to the outside world could be seen from inside.
For the first time, it is not turned on in the middle of the night. Now, it is evening.
The setting sun shone into the cave. Perhaps the air was filled with water vapor, which condensed into a small rainbow on the steps.
The skeletons were fascinated by the sight and smiled knowingly.
Under the sunlight, a staircase is also formed, which must be the Sunlight Staircase.
He Lin hesitated again: "Should I... go out?"
"Go ahead, go find that unfaithful man Tao Xing and ask him about it." Xiao Nan said, and then paused, "Well, even if there is a misunderstanding, it's okay to go out. Don't you miss him? Wouldn't it be good to see him more?"
He Lin looked at the stairs, took a deep breath, and clenched his hands in front of his chest.
The bones asked, "We can get out, too, right?"
He Lin came back to his senses and said solemnly: "We can all get out of this passage, but once you leave my space, you can't come back. I guess... you went directly from the human world to the road of reincarnation."
"How long can we stay in the human world?"
"One night, and it will be gone before tomorrow morning."
The bones thought for a while and said, "Then... let's go to the human world together and leave directly from the human world. We didn't expect to go to the human world before, but now we have a chance to go to the human world, and we also want to go and see the people who left us here."
Helin smiled faintly.
"Oh, but, Mr. He, we will accompany you to the Lin family first and support you. After your problem is resolved, we will go to where we want to go."
"Yes, we will go to support you." The skeletons were filled with indignation.
He Lin was silent for a moment and nodded: "Thank you."
A group of skeletons walked up the stairs and emerged from the cave.
After being buried in the ground for many years, it suddenly sees the light of day again.
But... sunlight is different from moonlight and cannot give them a physical body.
So, under the fiery sunset, in the abandoned cemetery, several skeletons were moving crookedly.
Fortunately, the cemetery was abandoned, the surveillance was almost broken, Lin Yan and Tao Chi were gone, and no one saw them.
But going out at this time would inevitably cause panic.
"I think we should wait until it gets dark and the moon comes out before we leave," Xiaodong suggested.
He Lin nodded: "I think so too."
"Then let's take a break." The bones looked around, and one of them approached the tombstone next to him, "Mr. He, your real name is Lin Heqing."
Helin didn't look at his own tombstone, but just nodded calmly: "Oh."
The bones were wandering around, some looking for their own graves, some wandering around.
The evening breeze gently blows the weeds, and the setting sun casts long and thin shadows.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the bones begin to grow flesh and blood, and their faces become slightly paler than those of normal people. They gather towards the gate one after another.
If someone saw it, perhaps the pale human figures wandering in the cemetery at night would be more terrifying than the white bones.
"Mr. He, do you know how to get to the Lin family?"
"I can sense Lin Yan's blood." He Lin said.
Then the ghosts floated up and moved forward with the wind.
Ghosts can roam the world and float away without having to walk.
