piecing together the soul

Chapter 174 99 Reunion at the Blood Tomb

When I received the call, it was already a week after I finished the postgraduate entrance examination.That day was the day to defend our graduation thesis. I just came out of the conference room where I was defending in the afternoon when the phone rang.

Although it was an unfamiliar number that had never been saved with a name, the number seemed familiar, so I picked it up: "Hi, hello."

"Hello. Guo Guo? Are you in school now?"

I knew it was Master Xu's mother when I heard this address, and I quickly smiled and said, "It's Auntie. I'm at school now. Do you have anything to do?"

"That's good. Your uncle and I will drive to your school to pick you up. Let's go out for three to five days. You pack up first, we'll be there soon."

"Pick me up? Where are you going?"

However, the other side hung up after finishing speaking and did not hear my question.

What will happen?I can't think of an answer because there was absolutely no warning.The two elders didn't say a word about the reason, maybe they tacitly agreed that Master Xu had already told me?I called Master Xu again, but he didn't answer.

Although I don't know what the situation is, I can't refuse, because the one who will pick me up later is the elder after all, and being a junior is not easy to refute the face of the elder.So I went upstairs to tidy up briefly. Three to five days is not too long, and I don’t need to bring much change of clothes in winter, so I just carried a backpack and left.It was only when I went downstairs that I remembered that I had asked Lao Wang out for dinner tomorrow. If I found out later that there was really no way to refuse, then I had no choice but to tell Lao Wang to postpone my goodbye for a few days.

After a while, Grandfather Xu's parents arrived in the car. I didn't have many things, so I got into the back seat directly.They only exchanged a few words of recent situation with each other, and they didn't say anything more.

So I had to ask: "Uncle and aunt, where are we going?"

The uncle drove with a straight face and said nothing, while the aunt sat in the passenger seat and turned around and said, "Didn't Xiao Han tell you?"

"No..." I smiled awkwardly.

The aunt turned her head and said, "That's weird. He said he told you everything, and told us not to talk too much. Besides, we didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd. I wanted to ask him what the hell was going on. He asked you to do something, but he refused to say anything."

"But he... really didn't tell me anything." I was even more confused when I saw this, "Could it be that he asked my uncle and aunt to be my driver?"

Uncle drove the car leisurely and said, "Where is the driver? I think it's more like a drudgery."

servant?I thought to myself, is this going to escort me to where?
"By the way." The aunt suddenly interrupted my train of thought, "He said he would send you an email or a voice message, or leave a message or something, and said that everything was said there."

I smiled wryly: "My contact information with Mr. Xu, plus phone calls, text messages, emails, and various APPs, there are probably more than a dozen ways... Has he confirmed which one it is?"

"No..." Auntie recalled thoughtfully, "Probably not, he just said it casually, if it wasn't for my good memory, I would have forgotten it long ago."

There is no way, I can only search one by one, WeChat, **, Renren, QQ, MSN, mailbox... I flipped through one by one, until the penultimate one, I saw that he sent a long message.The two of us don't use this software very often. When I read this, it was already an hour after I got in the car.

And when I read the entire message, I was shocked to find that we had already left Beijing, and the scene on the side of the road made me feel a little bit indignant.

"Have you finished reading it?" When I was full of thoughts, my aunt suddenly asked me, "What happened to you? It was so secretive that we didn't even tell us."

I could only calm down, and said with a smile: "Auntie, didn't he let you tell me that we are going to Xueling Mountain, so he didn't let me tell you what he was going to do."

"You brat!" The uncle was finally irritated. "Even his father is hiding what he is doing! It's outrageous!"

However, the twittering aunt on weekdays seemed calmer: "My son is so old, he is free to do whatever he wants. If he still needs us to worry about everything, wouldn't you be even more angry? "

Auntie's words are also reasonable. It is better for a child to be able to pretend things in his heart than to never grow up.Uncle didn't continue to criticize Xiao Han, he could only say: "That's all, I don't care about him! How he wants to mess with it is his business! But, Qingluan, you have to help that brat."

Obviously, my uncle still regarded me as his daughter-in-law, but I couldn't think of any way to clarify it. Instead, my aunt said: "My daughter is fine, why should I help this brat of yours? Guo Guo, you Listen to Auntie, do what you think is right, if Xiao Han makes a mistake, beat him and wake him up!"

Originally, I was trying my best to keep calm, but I just saw Master Xu’s message saying that brother Xiu has not been reincarnated yet. When I arrive tomorrow, they will already perform resurrection in Xueling Mountain. This is brother Xiu’s decision , but Master Xu came up with the solution... I suddenly felt up and down in my heart.

If there is no anger at all, it is impossible, because Master Xu lied to me not long ago, saying that brother Xiu had been reincarnated and left, and the trick they played to deceive the world really made me angry; but if it was all anger, it is not always the case, after all Brother Xiu wanted to be resurrected because of me. He was willing to risk his life and death for me. I couldn't help being moved...

Seeing that I didn't answer any more, my uncle and aunt didn't say anything more.

Obviously we are ready, we are taking the Death Highway that we took a short cut last time. From here, we can shorten the time by about one-third. It is night now. If we drive overnight, we should be able to drive at noon tomorrow. arrive.

Sure enough, after I took a nap, we had already driven into the remote mountains.When I can no longer drive, I can't wait to get out of the car.After all, they want me to come to protect them, and if I am one moment late, I will be in danger for one more moment.

I just ran a few steps in the direction of Xueling, but my aunt stopped me: "Guo Guo!"

I stood still and turned around. Auntie had already opened the trunk and took out a backpack from inside: "You take this, and everything in it is there."

"Thank you. Auntie is still thoughtful." As I spoke, I turned around and left again.

"Be careful! Tell Xiao Han to be careful too!"

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt!" I finally waved to them, then turned around and ran quickly into the blood mausoleum.

Drilling through holes and passing through the tomb passage, I groped and ran in while recalling very skillfully, until I reached the side hall I had visited once before.

Due to the short time I stayed here last time, I don't remember exactly what it was like here.But what I can be sure of is that it is definitely not the way it is now.

On the wall of this side hall, there are evenly scattered candle flames. Although they are faint like bean lights, but the number of them makes the hall very bright.However, there was a soul lock not far from me. I didn't dare to move it, so I went around to a pile of coffins on the side to lay down my burden, and took off the outermost thick coat that hindered my movement. .

The cold river was still flowing, and there was a large fire on the other side of the bridge. Behind the fire was Mr. Xu. His handsome face was even more beautiful under the light of the fire.Behind him was a well-arranged coffin, and above the coffin, Brother Xiu's soul was floating faintly.
