Chapter 47: A Bad Life
I woke up first in the morning. I opened my eyes with a splitting headache. I saw the house was in a mess, and there was a strong smell of alcohol everywhere. The smell of alcohol made me sick, so I ran out and vomited in front of the trash can before I felt better. After I returned to the house, Xiaopang woke up, and we looked at each other's panda eyes and suddenly laughed happily. As he laughed, Xiaopang's face sank, and he walked out of the house with a long sigh, and lay on the edge of the roof, staring blankly at the bottom.
I was so scared that I ran out quickly, grabbed the boy's arm and said, "Brother, you have to think it through. It's not worth committing suicide for a woman who doesn't love you!"
Xiao Pang shook off my arm and said with a wry smile: "What are you thinking? The smell in the room is too bad. I'm lying here to get some fresh air."
"I said you are heartless. Even if everyone in the world died, you would not jump off the building. It seems that I thought too much. It's okay, you can breathe fresh air here. Who knows, a beautiful woman's fart might come from the tall building opposite, and you can have a romantic encounter." I said and went back to the house to clean up the mess.
We cleaned the room, opened the windows for ventilation, and bandaged the wound with glutinous rice that had been soaked overnight. Since we were still hungover, we were not hungry. So we moved out the stools, brewed two cups of strong tea, and sat on the edge of the roof, drinking tea and chatting. There were four or five sheds on the roof, all of which were shared by migrant workers. They went out to work very early, so no one disturbed us.
Xiaopang sighed about Xiaojing's death and said that this woman was not worth lingering on. She never treated him well when she was alive. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, she was not a decent girl. It was good that she died. It made him stop thinking about it. From now on, he had to change his appearance and start a new life.
I reached out and slapped him on the back of his head, laughing, "You just talk nonsense. You didn't do anything wrong, so why do you want to change your appearance? You talk like a prisoner who just got out of prison."
Xiao Pang followed with a silly smile, and suddenly asked me: "I see you are interested in Lin Yuxi, right? Speaking of this girl, she is pretty, smart, and quite humane. Should you take her down?"
When he mentioned Lin Yuxi, my heart sank again. This guy is just rubbing salt into my wounds. You said her boyfriend is handsome and steady. Even if he is not Prince Charming but Tang Monk, he is Tang Monk who is about to ascend the throne as the King of the Kingdom of Women. Compared with him, I am really a inferior toad. Besides, they seem to have a good relationship, and Lin Yuxi cares about each other's feelings. Even if I want to interfere, I can't.
Besides, I'm not that kind of person. I've already seen her. Although I don't know if she has the ghost tongue curse, she looks healthy at least. There should be no problem. I'd better leave Xiling as soon as possible and find another place to wait for death.
I sighed and said, "She 's not my type, and I'm not her Tang Monk. Being in love with someone is two different things, just like you have a crush on Xiaojing, you don't necessarily have to be together. I'm content knowing that she's doing well, and thinking too much about it is just asking for trouble."
Xiao Pang snorted and said, "Some people always like to deceive themselves, like me. I clearly want Xiao Jing very much, but I keep saying that as long as she lives a good life, I will be satisfied. Bah, that's the Ah Q spirit written by Confucius..."
Before he finished speaking, I slapped him again: "It was written by Lu Xun."
"No matter who wrote it, it's just deceiving yourself. You said you should be content knowing that she is living a good life, but is she living a good life now? Someone died in her family last night, and she is probably being interrogated at the police station now. We believe that it was done by a ghost, but do the police believe it? If they can't find someone to take the blame, she will be sentenced to death!" Xiaopang's words made me feel cold in my heart.
"Give me your phone." I couldn't hold my temper anymore and asked Xiao Pang for his phone. Although he didn't have Lin Yuxi's number in his phone, I remembered it better than my birthday. After I dialed the number, I heard a tone from the receiver that the other party's phone was turned off, and my heart became even heavier.
There are probably two reasons why she turned off her phone: one is that it ran out of power, and the other is that she turned it off while being interrogated at the police station. I felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this. Although Su Chengda is a rich man, money is not everything. Money can't cover up such a big thing. If she doesn't find a murderer to take the blame, she will never be able to clear herself of the suspicion of murder. I can live for four years at most. The days of waiting to die are actually more painful than death. It's better to take the blame for her and give her a better future.
After making up my mind, I got up and went downstairs. Xiao Pang chased me and asked me what I was going to do. I said I was going to help Xiao Xi take the blame. This guy stopped me and said, you look smart, why are you being so stupid? She is someone's girlfriend, why are you taking the blame? It's not your turn. If anyone should take the blame, it should be Su Chengda.
I said you know nothing, this is not about who is the problem, it's about who is more suitable to take the blame. I originally had a miserable life, but in exchange for their happy life, isn't that the best of both worlds? I shook off his hand and walked away. Xiao Pang still refused to give in, pulling my clothes and continued to persuade me, a miserable life is also a life, even if it is not as valuable as others, but it can't be given away so carelessly.
I have never told him my story, including the curse, and now I cannot explain it to him clearly. He sighed and said, there are some things you don't understand, and you don't need to understand. I am determined to take the blame. If there is still brotherhood, remember to burn more paper money for me after I am shot. I will be very grateful .
Seeing that I was determined, Xiao Pang had no choice but to follow me all the way to the police station with a sad face. But as I was walking on the road, I remembered the corpse sedan chair in Lin Yuxi's room, and suddenly felt something was wrong. The corpse sedan chair was the most taboo thing in folk and Taoist circles, and it had never happened. It was even more ridiculous that it was formed naturally, unless there was a conspiracy specially made by someone with ulterior motives.
Before Yu Zhengyao died, he must have watched Xiaojing die first, so his eyes were wide open and full of surprise. It stands to reason that he knew the saying of the dead body being carried in a sedan chair, so it is impossible for him to face the door when he died. Even if he died quickly, with Yu Zhengyao's ability, he would have a way to turn his body around. So, someone deliberately turned the dead body around and then closed the bedroom door, so that I stepped into the trap unknowingly.
Then I took over Yu Zhengyao's unfinished ritual. Because of the initial separation of yin and yang, the infant spirit felt threatened, so he opened the bedroom door, causing the evil spirit to flow into the bedroom, causing Xiao Jing to stand up, thus forming a dead body carrying a sedan chair. But I think this speculation is a bit illogical. I am a fortune teller, who would want to kill me? It seems that this matter is aimed at Lin Yuxi. Yes, it must be like this. Isn't she involved in a murder lawsuit now?
Then I can't take the blame anymore. I have to get to the bottom of this matter and find out the real culprit behind it. Then Lin Yuxi will be acquitted.
