Tomb Keeper

Chapter 21 Who Speaks the Truth? (2)
Leaf's words stunned me.Yes, it is illogical for a person who has given up everything for love to change his mind so quickly.Poet Feng, who is also guarding the tomb here, has already proved what a person who truly devotes himself to love should look like.I put my head down deeply and pretended to be in pain to hide my speechlessness and buy some time for my thoughts to turn.

At that moment, if it wasn’t for some details in the memories that woke me up, I almost wanted to tell Ye Zi everything frankly.However, I recalled the first time I held her hand on the cemetery when I first came here. She did not refuse. We walked hand in hand on the cemetery like a pair of lovers walking in a death camp.And from then until today, the distance between me and her has not been as close as the first time we held hands.What does that mean?Explain that holding hands was not her emotion and indulgence, but a test for me who was new here.From that moment on, she questioned my fabricated reasons for becoming a monk and staying in the graveyard, but I didn't know it at all, thinking that my identity had been accepted by the people here, and my unannounced visit plan was also being carried out seamlessly.

Thinking of this, I feel a little scared.Because a girl who guards the grave here to save her father is so wary of me, it is also illogical.Only people with secret missions will be so vigilant towards others, and take precautions and precautions when probing their true identities.Of course, another explanation is that what Ye Zi said about saving her father and guarding the tomb is just her previous life experience, but now Ye Zi is a dead soul wearing scarlet pajamas and dressing up in the mirror in the middle of the night, so she can see it at a glance. My identity and reason for coming here is questionable.However, in terms of the certainty of things, I am more willing to believe in the former in terms of judgment. That is, Ye Zi is a person who sneaked into the cemetery for a certain task like me. Maybe what she has to do is better than mine. The task is more important.

I took a deep breath, thinking that it is not unheard of for special forces to expose themselves or even die in rose-colored situations during their missions.In order to save the situation, I had no choice but to fake what I did to her earlier.

After being in pain for a long time, I raised my head and said to Ye Zi that I was going to become a monk for my dead girlfriend, and later I felt that guarding the tomb here is similar to being a monk.I fell in love with you because you and my girlfriend look alike, almost exactly the same.Do you believe in the theory of the reincarnation of the dead?I didn't believe it before, but I believed it when I saw you.

This clever explanation of mine turned the situation around because I wasn't telling the truth.The girl who was picked up by me at the scene of the plane crash, except that her eyes were closed tightly so that I couldn’t compare with Ye Zi’s eyes, her straight nose bridge and beautifully lined lips really seemed to be transplanted to Ye Zi’s face.

Ye Zi asked, is your girlfriend going on a business trip by plane?
I said no, to travel.She was in college and it was summer vacation.Although my answer was fabricated, it was the feeling I had when I picked up that girl.

Ye Zi asked again, where was she buried?
I bit the bullet and said that she was from the north and was buried in her hometown.

At this time, Ye Zi's eyes suddenly became a little bit aggressive, she said, on the car to Xihe Town, you told Zihua that your girlfriend was buried here, and you came to visit the grave, didn't you?

This question was so sudden, I didn't expect Ye Zi to ask these details from Zi Hua's mouth.At this moment, any hesitation on my part might make matters worse, and I replied immediately that I was speaking to Zihua like that.There are so many people in the car, if I say that I came out to find a monastery to become a monk, it will make everyone in the car make a fuss.

When I said these words to Ye Zi the night before, I was still sitting on the platform outside the attic.I have slowly climbed out of the rose-colored trap, and the blood flowing on my body is no longer love, but the vigilance and strategy of an unannounced reporter who has been a special soldier.In these conversations, Ye Zi also exposed her probing and even reconnaissance of me, and she finally said that although you said that I look a lot like your girlfriend, I still can't make her undead sad.Daxu, let's continue to be colleagues.

This is the result I want now.I said, well, I respect your idea.After speaking, I held out my hand to her, we shook hands, and then I said goodbye and came out.

However, when I walked down the attic, my nose was still a little sore, and I scolded myself in my heart, does this look like an unannounced reporter with a heavy responsibility?It seems that being a special soldier was for nothing.Fortunately, my rationality is still there, and it helped me resolve Ye Zi's various doubts about me with excellent impromptu performance.

But today, the appearance of this woman, Manager Xue, pushed me into a very disadvantageous position. If there is no one like me in the hospital, wouldn't my fabricated identity be fundamentally overturned?Although I explained it, would Ye Zi want to believe it?She kept silent about it when she came to my room tonight, and it filled me with anxiety and uneasiness.

I was lying in bed, tossing and turning, and suddenly thought of the saying that offense is the best defense.Yes, I have to speed up the investigation of Ye Zi, whether she is a person or a ghost, I have to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.Otherwise, when Yang Huzi comes back, she might ask Yang Huzi to drive me, a suspicious person, out of the cemetery immediately.

I have had a lot of face-to-face encounters with Ye Zi, and next, I have to attack from the side, just like she probed me from Zihua.I chose to study Ye Zi's situation from Poet Feng first, because Poet Feng came here before Ye Zi, that is to say, he watched Ye Zi's arrival, so he must have learned a lot about Ye Zi.In addition, Poet Feng worked in Shenzhen before and has seen the world, so he should have brains and knowledge about various things.Also, Poet Feng is guarding the tomb for his dead fiancée, which is similar to what I said about leaving the world for his dead girlfriend in terms of experience, and his emotions are easy to communicate with.

After I made this decision, I realized that my work progressed slowly before that because I was fascinated by Ye Zi, and I got carried away with her. Subconsciously, I might want to prolong the days of guarding the grave indefinitely.Fortunately, I woke up tonight.

At this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps coming downstairs.It's almost midnight, who's going downstairs?I followed him out immediately, and when I got downstairs, I saw a man carefully opening the courtyard door and walking out. Judging from his figure, I recognized this man as Poet Feng.He hasn't been on the watch lately, what is he doing out there?

I hesitated for a moment and walked outside.As soon as he left the courtyard, he suddenly saw not far below the stone steps, a woman holding a child standing in the cold in the middle of the night.I couldn't help screaming, and the cold sweat on my back came out.

In the middle of the night, I followed Poet Feng to the cemetery, but I didn't find him along the way.On second thought, where could he go?He could only go to his fiancée's grave.So, I searched for the grave in the hazy night, but when I arrived at the grave, it was very deserted.I'm suspicious, will Poet Feng disappear in the grave?At this time, there was another strange cry of a night bird from the depths of the graveyard. I was a little nervous and wanted to go back.Before turning around to leave, I thought that since I came to this grave, and Poet Feng is my colleague, I have to be a little polite to leave this grave.So, I bowed deeply to the grave before turning around and walking back.However, the moment I turned around, I saw Poet Feng walking unsteadily not far from me.I hurriedly followed, and found behind him that his walking route was very strange. Instead of walking along the path between the graves, he circled around among the graves.Say he was looking for something, and he never looked down, but kept walking with his head up.I didn't disturb him, and quietly followed him for a long time. Finally, he turned back to his fiancée's grave.He stood in front of the grave for a while, and then sat down against the tombstone, as if he was going to rest for a while.

I walked over at this moment.He asked in surprise, why are you here?I said it was too hot to sleep tonight, so I went for a walk on the mountain to cool off.He said that it was very stuffy tonight, and Qinqin was hot in short sleeves and a skirt.I was taken aback, Qinqin?He pointed to the grave to me, and only then did I know that her fiancée's name was Qinqin.He said that when he woke up in bed tonight, there was always a voice in his head saying, it's too hot tonight, please take a walk with me.Let's go for a walk in the street, and we can go to the shops or have a drink.So, I quickly got up and came here.In the past in Shenzhen, Qinqin and I used to go shopping at night.Fortunately, I came tonight, she was already impatiently waiting here, so I hurriedly told her that things in the factory were too late.Let's go to the street now.We had a good time walking the streets, and I sent her back to the dorm, satisfied.

Poet Feng's narration made me feel hot.Whether people live or die, as long as there is love, there is happiness.I also sat down by the grave and took this opportunity to chat with him more.I know that when you talk to Poet Feng, you can’t deny hallucinations first, then he will be anxious with you. He will bring up a lot of scientific concepts such as the speed of light, space, and dimension to prove that human hallucinations are actually a kind of real existence.Since I stood in the same position as him on this point, Poet Feng, who usually doesn't talk much, talked like he had found a bosom friend, and talked about the occasion when Qinqin came to his room for gatherings.Taking advantage of his chatter, I brought the topic to Ye Zi, unexpectedly, he didn't know anything about Ye Zi.How did Ye Zi get here one day more than a year ago?What unusual things did you find her doing?Had a girl been hanged years ago in her attic, etc.Poet Feng had nothing to say to my question except shaking his head.It seems that apart from himself and Qinqin, nothing here can enter his mind.

My plan to learn about Ye Zi's suspiciousness from Poet Feng failed.I turned to look at the cemetery in the middle of the night. There were some tall and low trees and shrubs, which looked like human figures.I told Poet Feng that when I walked out of the courtyard just now, I saw a woman holding a child standing not far away. I walked over bravely, but found two trees.Poet Feng immediately corrected me and said, no, that might really be a pair of mother and son, the human senses can detect the truth better than the eyes.What you saw just now is the pair of mother and son who often stroll outside our courtyard.The woman's name is Suying, and her son's name is Panpan, who is five years old. The woman's husband is engaged in sales in a cement prefabricated factory and is often not at home, so the woman brings the child to the graveyard to play.

What Poet Feng said was commonplace, but it surprised me that he suddenly knew so much about the outside world.I asked him how he knew this, and he said, this is the work I did, of course I remember.He said that Ye Zi arranged for him to investigate the situation of the mother and child not long ago, and he followed the mother and child all the way to her home.The woman was not surprised when she saw him, and invited him to sit in the house, so he asked a lot about the situation, and successfully completed the task Ye Zi gave him.Speaking of this, Poet Feng also added that I am still very serious about my work, and I used to do things like this in the factory.

After hearing this, I was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected harvest.I asked Poet Feng, why did Ye Zi investigate that woman?Poet Feng shook his head again. He said, I only do the work assigned by the leader and never ask why.

Despite this, I still found a breakthrough to explore the leaves.Okay, let's talk about work with Poet Feng, so what else did Ye Zi ask you to do?Poet Feng yawned and said, that's too much, and it doesn't make much sense.It's almost dawn, let's go back to sleep for a while.
