Secret Love · Orange Raw Huainan

Chapter 42 The Witch Comes From the Old Times

Luo Zhi glanced at the door subconsciously, wondering if she would stop her if she ran over now.This time she was really scared, and tears rolled in her eyes.She knew that it was wise to avoid the other person's gaze at this moment, but she stared at him as if possessed by an evil spirit.

It seemed that a century had really passed, and she was so nervous that her neck hurt.

The woman turned back leisurely, picked up the scissors, and cut the red silk connecting the two panes with a "click", then used the back of the scissors as a weapon to smash the glass of the two compartments, and wiped all the windows inside. All the offerings and decorations were taken out and smashed on the ground.Then he smiled faintly, put the scissors back into the cloth bag, and walked slowly towards her.

Luo Zhi stared at her, slowly put down the receiver, but didn't hear the people inside calling her name continuously.

"Are you his daughter?"

The vicissitudes of life are hoarse, but the voice is extremely beautiful.The tone of this sentence did not have the slightest sense of gloom, on the contrary, it looked like an ordinary elder.If you ignore her weird dress and overly aging body, you can see that she must have been a beauty when she was young, with an unforgettable pointed jaw and slender phoenix eyes, but it is a pity that she has been eroded by the weather and it is difficult to see her true colors .

"Your eyes look exactly like your father's..."

As the woman said, she stretched out her hand to touch Luo Zhi's face.Luo Zhi didn't dodge, perhaps because she was completely stunned.The already numb cheeks were covered by the same cold palms, with only a dull touch.

She withdrew her hand suddenly, Luo Zhi's gaze followed her hand down, seeing that her naturally bent five fingers were all red and swollen, she tilted her head a little bit unbearably.

"When I came, I found that his ashes had been taken away, so I hid behind the last row of cabinets and waited. I saw that you came in to deliver the ashes."

"Is your mother okay? I don't even know her. I hated her before, and I cursed you for what you deserve. I'm confused."

The woman's slow, deep, beautiful voice floated in the room, seeping into the floating dust in the air.She only said a few words, but Luo Zhi felt that her voice lingered for hundreds of years.

Seeing Luo Zhi's blank look, she smiled, the deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were more obvious than the slit where her eyes narrowed. "Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost. If I were a ghost, I would have been reincarnated a long time ago. I'll find a good family and live my life again."

She walked out as she spoke, and the red skirt quickly disappeared outside the door.

Luo Zhi stayed for a long time before remembering the phone in her hand.

"Hey, are you still there? I'm fine."

She was a little guilty, but she didn't know that it was her words as light as a feather that saved the person on the other side of the phone.

"The person you were talking to, is he gone?"

"gone."

"If you're scared, don't hang up the phone. Is the cabinet locked? Go outside when it's locked. Don't be afraid. I'm on the phone. Get out of there quickly, good boy."

She recovered from that scene, and when she heard the gentle voice on the phone that sounded like coaxing a child, she suddenly sobbed, tears streaming down, and said, okay.

"As soon as the old man said to hand in the paper, everyone stood up and used the chaotic scene of handing in the paper to answer each other. In fact, the questions this time are quite honest. Most of the questions are filled in the blanks and choices, and there is only one big question .

"My classmate gave me some coupons for Mr. Pizza. I remember that day you told me that you really like gold medal potatoes. I wanted to treat you to eat today..."

Sheng Huainan's voice kept ringing in Luo Zhi's ears, tickling.She walked quickly towards the door, but stopped again, and turned her head to look at the two compartments where the red silk had just been cut by the woman in red.

The names of the two dead people inside seemed unfamiliar, but the group photo pasted in the back of the glass cabinet surprised Luo Zhi.

It's her grandparents.

It turned out that the ashes of her grandparents were placed here.Luo Zhi twirled the red silk with her free hand, groping for the stubble with her thumb, thoughtfully.

"...We didn't know we needed a quiz until halfway through the class. The teacher said that we needed a quiz during the break, and he gave us a meaningful smile, saying that he wanted to send a text message to ask people to send it quickly, or just call us directly. Well, let's just rest for 10 minutes.

"That guy Zhang Mingrui's cell phone was out of battery and I couldn't get through, and he wasn't in the dormitory, so I couldn't find him. I called you again, but he was still not in the service area. Is the funeral parlor too far away from the city and the signal is not good? ?

"Luo Zhi, are you there?"

His mother-in-law is really nagging.Luo Zhi knew that Sheng Huainan was afraid that she was still thinking about the scene just now, so she tried to say some trivial things so that she would no longer be afraid.

"I'm here. I just walked out of the building." The voice sounded less empty, too.

"Ok?"

"Walk into the sun and you won't be afraid."

"That's good."

In the empty courtyard, Luo Zhi stood silently at the door, her phone became a little hot from the long conversation, which actually warmed her left ear.

"Sheng Huainan?"

"Ok?"

"Are we going to be 'best friends' again now?"

There was just silence on the other end of the phone.

"Aren't you going to tell me why you did those weird things before to punish me? Why did you disappear suddenly, why... then simply smooth it out and start over, are you still good classmates?"

Sheng Huainan still didn't answer.

"It seems that I did something that made you very angry without knowing it, so why did you call to be a friendly classmate again? If this is a new means of revenge on me, since you know that I... I am to you... In short, if this is another kind of revenge, I think it is better for you to put away the peace of the world. It is too cruel to play tricks on people over and over again. "

Luo Zhi saw her mother coming from the parking lot, and waved her hand from a distance.

"Fa Dao's little test... Thank you very much."

There was finally an answer from the phone: "From the beginning to now, you have said 'thank you' three times."

Luo Zhi smiled lightly: "Three times of 'thank you' and three times of 'sorry', each other, not to mention my gratitude is much more simple than your apology. You haven't had lunch yet, hurry up, I'm dead. "

There was a clearly audible gasp on the phone, as if there was still something to say, but Luo Zhi pressed the hang up button the moment the other party spoke.

"mom!"

"You haven't come out all this time, you scared me to death. Just now I saw a mentally ill woman come out of this door and trot all the way there, so I hurried over to see if something happened to you..." Mom's eyes were already red , Say a few more words and you will cry.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid."

Since she got in the car, her mother has pulled her into her arms and stroked her head, as she always said when she was a child, "Touching her fur doesn't scare her".Luo Zhi looked at Uncle Chen who was sitting in the driver's seat with embarrassment.

The temperature of the mobile phone from the call just now has not subsided. She held it in her hand, and the warmth was transmitted to her heart little by little, making her feel a little sore.

In the car in the morning, Uncle Chen kept talking to Luo Zhi, asking about the school's major, life in Beijing, and how he met Luo Zhi's mother.However, on the return bus at noon, none of the three spoke.

Luo Zhi felt that Uncle Chen liked her mother.

She had a hunch that he was a nice person, but she didn't intend to think too much about it.

That's my mother's business.All she needs to do is try hard along the way to show that she likes Uncle Chen too.

In this way, one day, my mother will not care whether she will be unhappy or not.

The winter sun is radiant, shining on the face through the car window as if it is fake, and there is no warmth at all.Luo Zhi's thoughts have been entwined with that woman just now.When the mother asked earnestly whether she had bumped into the psychopath, she shook her head firmly.

She was completely shocked and dumbfounded.The woman held her face with her right hand just now, what a light shone from her old and beautiful eyes.She seemed to be fixed like a Gu, but she couldn't understand the waves flowing in the opponent's eyes at all.

She is like a witch who traveled through time from the past. The young and handsome father who was frozen in time in the photo and the weird red dress woman in front of me always have an indescribable sense of fit when I think of that scene.It seems that the mother around her, Uncle Chen, and the sunshine outside the window are all unreachable real worlds flowing forward in the long river of time, but Luo Zhi was cursed by her because of her eyes, and stayed in the frozen time and space.

She hid her mother and told herself that it was all an illusion.

Back home, after having lunch with her mother, Luo Zhi said that she wanted to visit high school.

"Where are you going in such a cold day?!"

Luo Zhi persisted, until her mother shook her head and reproached, "Go and come back quickly."
