Chapter 12 Gathering Souls and Beads (12) Huang Lei's Secret
Ten years ago, Huang Lei was 14 years old.

At noon in the hot summer, adults who have worked all morning are taking a nap.The lonely cicada kept singing on the tree, Huang Lei sneaked out alone and came to Niangzihe.

The Niangzi River is behind the village, and there is a stone tablet in front of the river, engraved with some small ancient Chinese characters.Huang Lei has heard the story of this stele and Niangzi River since he was a child.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.In order to resist foreign enemies, all men from the four villages and eight miles were conscripted into the barracks.At that time, there was an immigrant family named Ding beside the Niangzi River. The husband joined the army with other people in the village, and only the wife was left at home to take care of the newborn child.

The war is raging, the husband never returns, and the wife misses every night, but the news of her return is that she died in a foreign land.On the night when she heard the bad news, the woman sat by the river with her child and wept every night.

A month later, the lady left, and she wanted to return home with her husband's bones.Before leaving, she said that the child was given to a neighbor to take care of.

In troubled times, looking for a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, let alone an unknown dead person.No one knew what method the lady used. After more than ten days, she returned with her husband's bones on her back.

In those few days, for some reason, the sky was full of dark clouds, and then heavy rain poured down. In just a few days, the dry riverbed was filled.The lady accompanied her husband by the river, singing a sad song to the rain.

The neighbor who helped raise the child once secretly went to see that Ding's house was full of flying paper money.According to the time, the husband who should have rotted away was so vivid, as if he had fallen asleep.

Later, the Ding family couple disappeared.

The children of Ding's family were raised by their neighbors, and later won the top prize in high school. After returning home, they named the river next to their home as Niangzi River, erected a stele and engraved characters to engrave their parents' stories on it.

The 14-year-old Huang Lei has already read the story of Niangzihe a hundred times, but he forgot the advice of adults not to have property in Niangzihe.In the hot noon, he took off his clothes and jumped into the Niangzi River.

The cool water quickly dispelled the heat, and Huang Lei slid around in the water like a fish.Just when he rejoiced that he came to the right place, his feet were suddenly entangled by something, and then he struggled upwards in horror, but the entanglement under his feet became stronger.Just like that, he felt like he was being dragged to hell.Seeing the dazzling sunlight getting farther and farther away from him, and then his breath was pulled away bit by bit, and finally the river water got into his nostrils, and his eyes were in chaos.Finally passed out...

When he woke up, he saw himself in a strange place.There seemed to be a narrow passage in front of him, the surroundings were damp and cold, and there were even drops of water seeping from above.Huang Lei crawled forward, looking for the exit.After climbing for an unknown amount of time, he finally climbed out, and the end of the corridor turned out to be a square space.There are four candlesticks in the four corners of the space, with lamps on them, and a large coffin in the middle.Huang Lei had seen coffins before. Old people in the village would make mahogany coffins when they passed away.But the coffin in front of him was very wide.Not knowing where the courage came from, he pushed open the lid of the coffin.

There were two people lying in the coffin, a man and a woman, the man was burly and the woman was dignified.The two seemed to have fallen asleep, but their faces were pale.

Huang Lei was taken aback, but his eyes fell on the man's hand, where there was a bronze dagger.

As a young boy, what he likes most is laughing with swords and swords.At the market before, Huang Lei once begged his parents to buy him a toy sword, but he failed.Now seeing the dagger in the man's hand, he couldn't help reaching out and picking it up curiously.

The short sword is real and very handy.When swinging it, Huang Tong accidentally cut his hand, and the blood seeped into the dagger instantly.

Huang Tong suddenly felt a little dizzy, and slumped to the ground.

In a trance, he saw the man in the coffin sitting up, and then slowly walking towards him, his whole body covering him.

When Huang Lei woke up again, what he saw was his mother's anxious face.

His mother said that if the neighbor hadn't rescued him in time by passing through the Niangzi River, he would have drowned.

Huang Lei was also a little confused, he still remembered the man in his coffin, raised his hand, and there was a wound cut by the dagger on his finger.

From then on, he always dreamed of that man at night.

They have known each other for ten years, and it has always been in a dream.

After Wang Xueli jumped off the building, Huang Lei hid aside, looking at the dying Wang Xueli, his heart was both painful and helpless.That night, tobacco and alcohol accompanied him, and finally the moon hid.

He saw the man, and he came out of his dream.

"My name is Ding Gui, and I can help you resurrect her." The man said.

Ding Gui died once, and it was his wife who brought him back to life.It's a pity that there are countless reincarnations in this world, and life and death have destiny.The way to resurrect a person is to sacrifice another.Ding Gui's wife resurrected him, but she sacrificed her life.

"Why did you help me?" Huang Lei didn't understand.

"It was you who brought me back, you are me, and I am you." Ding Gui took out a dagger with a drop of scarlet blood on it.

Huang Lei understood that the time ten years ago was not a dream.

So, he started the plan to revive Wang Shirley.

He stole Wang Xueli's body and carried out the resurrection plan according to Ding Gui's method.Everything is done, but it is a pity that there is only one last step, which is another person's life.

Huang Lei chose Han Jiajia.

This is Huang Lei's secret.

This is Han Jiajia's death secret.

But now it seems that Huang Lei has failed.Wang Xueli did not come back to life.

How could there be resurrection in this world.

"Loving someone is not watching him die, but watching him live." Huang Lei looked at me and said.

"Then you sacrificed Han Jiajia, is Wang Xueli alive now?" I asked.

"No, it's because I used something wrong. I'm sure I can't make a mistake this time. So I ask you, do you love Zhao Shan?" Huang Lei's eyes moved to Zhao Shan.

"What are you going to do?" I suddenly understood.

Huang Lei didn't speak any more, but took out a dagger from his pocket, and gently put it on Zhao Shan's neck.Zhao Shan stood there blankly, as if she didn't know what happened.

It was windy outside, like a black cloud being rolled up, and it was pitch black.The gloomy wind rushed in through the window, as if it wanted to drown everything in front of it.I saw Huang Lei and Zhao Shan standing in the wind, I wanted to rush over, but I couldn't move at all.He could only watch helplessly as the dagger in Huang Lei's hand cut towards Zhao Shan's neck.

"No." I yelled loudly.

Huang Lei's body began to change in the wind, and finally turned into a man in armor. His face was still facing me, with a weird smile on it.At this moment, he is not Huang Lei, he is Ding Gui.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle." I shouted at Hou San who was on the ground, but he remained silent.

I felt like I was going to cry, Uncle Geng was not here, Hou San was knocked out again, the strong wind in front of me made it impossible for me to move, I could only watch Zhao Shan with a dazed face being killed by Ding Gui.

I collapsed to the ground.

Ding Gui grinned grimly, and stabbed hard with the dagger in his hand...
