C6 Same person
"What?" Did you burn that drawing? " My eyes widened. "Mom, why did you burn it?"
"What is it? Is it any use? " My mother gave a start, then explained, "When you lit the stove this morning, I saw that the paper was wrinkled. I thought it was waste paper you didn't use. It was used to light the fire when you were lighting the stove."
There was no heating in the countryside, and most people used carbon ovens in the summer to keep warm. The carbon stove wanted to be heated first with paper and then with charcoal. In the winter, it could be used for both heating and cooking.
"Oh, it's actually useless. If it's burned, then so be it. " I said it was no use to my mother, so there was no need to mention the taste in my heart. My mother burned such an important thing. As it turned out, this sketch was a foretelling of what was going to happen in the future. If I had this sketch, wouldn't I know in advance what was going to happen?
But it's burned, there's no medicine for regret in the world, and I don't want to blame my mother. First, it was useless to blame my mother. Second, what should have happened would happen sooner or later, and even if I knew beforehand, I wouldn't be able to stop it. This was fate, and I believed in it.
"Oh yes, how is Gao Xiaoyu? She fainted yesterday before the spirit. Is she alright now? " I took the noodles that my mother handed me and ate them in big mouthfuls. I hadn't eaten since last night, and my stomach was already growling.
I took the noodles and wolfed them down. Soon, a bowl of noodles was half filled to the brim.
My mother was relieved to hear me say that the sketch was useless. However, when I mentioned the name Gao Xiaoyu, my expression changed, as if I had heard of something terrifying.
Seeing that my mother's expression wasn't good, I had a bad premonition and didn't eat anymore. I placed the remaining half bowl of noodles on the table and asked, "Could it be that something happened to Gao Xiaoyu?"
My mother nodded and shook her head.
I was stunned. "Mom, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head? Had something happened to her or was nothing wrong? "Can you explain it a little more clearly?"
To my surprise, my mother's next words were like a bolt out of the blue for me.
"He's fine, but this is a bit strange. There is simply no one like Gao Xiaoyu in this world. " My mother said very unnaturally, "Old Gao has died and Gao Xiaoyun has never come back to mourn. Don't you think that's strange? This is because the one who has been with Old Man Gao these days isn't Gao Xiaoyu, it's the one who has always been with Old Man Gao and married into the Wang Manor next door, Gao Xiaoyun. "
"How is this possible?" I don't believe it. I can't believe it either, how can Gao Xiaoyu not exist? The first time I saw Gao Xiaoyu was on the only road into the village. I took her home on my bicycle. The second time was with Elder Gao Yi. Liu Jie pinched and bit her, but she kept silent. The third time was before dawn today. Gao Xiaoyu fainted, and I could still see a naked child in her eyes. As a result, I fainted.
How could Gao Xiaoyu not exist? I just can't accept it. Am I dreaming? It was all an illusion. I felt as if my head was about to split open, and it hurt. How I wish all of this were a dream. Gao Laoyi didn't die, and I didn't call myself Gao Xiaoyu.
"Do you think that Gao Xiaoyu and the eldest daughter of the elder, Gao Xiaoyun, are similar?"
"Yes. "It's exactly the same." I said, "But why did Gao Xiaoyun pretend to be this little sister who never existed, Gao Xiaoyu?"
Remembering the moment I met Gao Xiaoyu on the way to pick up the express delivery, I felt that this Gao Xiaoyun was an acrobat.
"Actually, these few days Gao Xiaoyun didn't even know that he was acting the part of his little sister, Gao Xiaoyu, who never existed." My mother looked at me and said, "Gao Xiaoyu woke up last night after you fainted. Gao Xiaoyu knew that her parents and her younger brother had both died. Back then, his relatives were all puzzled, thinking that Gao Xiaoyu's reaction was too slow. His parents had already died so long ago, so why did he only know how to cry now? In the end she said she was Gao Xiaoyun, and at first the folks didn't believe her. Then she told him the names of all the people in the village. Then a pair of numbers. Who lives where? There was someone in the house. When she finished, it was true. You should know that if you hadn't lived in the village for many years, you wouldn't have known about this. Gao Xiaoyu came back the day before yesterday in the afternoon.
"What the hell is going on?" I was stunned. It felt like I was listening to a story. Did Gao Xiaoyu become Gao Xiaoyun or Gao Xiaoyun become Gao Xiaoyu?
I said, "Could it be that Gao Xiaoyun has been pretending to be a drizzle all this time?" Then thinking about it, this didn't make sense. Everything had a purpose, what was Gao Xiaoyun planning to do by pretending that a non-existent Gao Xiaoyu? He couldn't possibly be bored to death, right? This was completely illogical.
My mother nervously closed the door and whispered to me, "This is strange. He heard from Gao Xiaoyun that he hadn't returned home after marrying into the Great Wang Village. When she suddenly received a call from her mother the day before yesterday saying something had happened at home, Gao Xiaoyun rushed back in a hurry.
The Great Wang Village is only four to five miles away from our village. Since Gao Xiaoyun's men were working outside, and the two houses weren't too far from each other anyway, Gao Xiaoyun had walked back from the Wang Manor alone. According to her, she was just walking around when her vision suddenly turned black and she realized that she didn't know anything.
Gao Xiaoyun said that she seemed to have fallen asleep during this period of time. In her dream, there was an old woman who pinched and bit her, causing her to feel terrified. Then a naked kid came and bared his teeth at the old woman. The old woman seemed to be afraid of the toddler, so she let her go. It was very dark around her and she didn't dare to move at all. She only played with the naked child. The naked child didn't even say anything as he just giggled foolishly. After that, Gao Xiaoyun fell asleep due to exhaustion. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out, and the ferocious old lady disappeared. Following that, there was another flash of light that caused Gao Xiaoyun to be unable to open his eyes. His bare ass and the little kid were also nowhere to be seen. And then he woke up. "
Hearing this, I thought that the first light was coming from Zhang San Ye using his flashlight to look at her eyes, and the second light was coming from me peeling open his eyes to see if Zhang San Ye was speaking the truth, whether or not Gao Xiao Yu had eyes.
"When Gao Xiaoyun woke up, he was already in front of his parents' spirit and the house was full of people," my mother said. After Gao Xiaoyun found out about what happened in the past two days, she cried to the point of death. Now, someone from her family has come to take her away. "
Hearing this, I took a deep breath. No wonder I felt that Gao Xiaoyu and Gao Xiaoyu were so similar. The two of them turned out to be the same person. To be more accurate, her body had always been Gao Xiaoyun's, but during this period of time, the identity of the 'Gao Xiaoyun' within her body had become a mystery. Who is that thing? Why did he impersonate "Gao Xiaoyun"? In short, it seemed that the death of the Gao Family had something to do with the thing inside Gao Xiaoyun's body.
I suddenly thought of my conversation with Gao Xiaoyu before the spirit of the elder:
I asked Gao Xiaoyu, "Stop messing around with me here. Just who are you?"
"I'm a ghost." Gao Xiao Yu suddenly smiled mischievously as she blinked at me.
At that time, I thought that Gao Xiaoyu was playing with me, but when I thought about it carefully, I actually got teased by the 'ghost' hiding in Gao Xiaoyun's body with the truth. Thinking back on this, I felt a chill on my back. Could it have something to do with the old lady and the barefoot boy in Gao Xiaoyu's eyes? And who sent me that sketch? Why didn't the guy who sent me the sketch help me if he wanted to? What is your motive for trying to harm me? I can't think of anything.
"But don't worry." The village chief has already sent people to the town to invite mages to our village. " My mother saw that I was sweating and thought I was scared, so she laughed and said, "This whole thing is going on and now the whole village knows that our village is haunted. If we don't get a mage to run it, a girl from some village would dare to marry into our village. Feng, to tell you the truth, when are you going to find me a boss? Your dad and I both want to pick up our grandchildren. "
My mother rambled on and on, and all I could think about was that ugly old woman and the little girl with the red apron on her bare buttocks? What are they? Had Old Gao and Liu Jie been killed by them? Would they still harm people? Will it harm me? Where were they now?
