Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 87
The shooting was completed at about 4:30.
After the 123 members who walked forward left, the staff removed the equipment.
Chen Nan looked at the time, and she said goodbye to Jiang You, "I'm going back to cook. Yunyun is waiting for me at home."
"Go ahead and take the bag with you."
Chen Nan took the shopping bag and walked out of the bug house.
There was garbage all over the yard.
Jiang Li found a broom and started cleaning.
Several patches of grass were bald, the trunk of the pomegranate tree was a little broken, and there were obvious scratches on the bluestone road.
Jiang You stood by the pond, holding a broom and thinking, "Let's go to the gym tomorrow."
On August 22, the Tangjiang Municipal People's Court awarded the custody of Jiang Mo to the Tangjiang Municipal Welfare Institute.
On the evening of August 25, Tang Butian brought Jiang Mo into the insect house.
Jiang You walked out of the store. He squatted down and looked at Jiang Mo, pinching his cheek, "You seem to have lost some weight."
He looked up and saw Tang Butian looking up at the plaque above the gate.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
"fine."
Jiang You picked up Jiang Mo and carried him into the store.
The iron gate of the yard, which had been open all the time, was closed.
Tang Butian followed him in.
Jiang You put Jiang Mo on a chair, took out a can of Coke from the kitchen, pulled the ring, inserted a straw, and placed it in front of Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo reached out and held the Coke can, slowly taking sips from it.
"The inheritance has been notarized and is currently in the name of the welfare home."
"That's good. It saves his uncle from making trouble."
"How did you get here?"
“Is this an interrogation?”
"right."
"No recording?"
"No."
“Can I skip it?”
" cannot."
Jiang You sighed and pointed at his body. "He does have a special physique. He probably has clairvoyance. After his parents died in a car accident, he wanted to see them again. He studied computer science and has strong search capabilities," Jiang You couldn't help but complain, "but his judgment ability is poor."
"So they summoned you out?"
Jiang You looked at Tang Butian very seriously and said, " I am really a human being."
Tang Butian didn't argue with him on this issue, "Then what?"
"He and I, Spider, stayed there for a long time. I don't know how long. You can't feel the passage of time there. I slept most of the time. He must have had a lot of fun," Jiang You smiled. "He's very fierce, you know? All the messy things there are afraid of him, whether they can be defeated or not. He probably thinks I want to come here. After all, the creatures there look relatively," he thought for an adjective, "relatively weird."
Jiang Mo spit out the straw.
Jiang You took the can of Coke in his hand, took out a straw and took a big sip. "The being he wanted to summon happened to be nearby, so he swallowed it, and then we came over."
He sighed and smiled bitterly. "You know, I was totally confused when I woke up. I was sleeping soundly, but suddenly my whole body started to hurt. My first thought was to find a weapon to kill myself, but I couldn't even control my fingers. I tell you, for this kind of thing, you still have to find professionals, Taoists, monks, witches or something. Otherwise, there will be a lot of side effects if you force them to do it without caring about the after-sales service." Jiang You couldn't control himself when he started complaining. "And there was also a neighbor who knocked on the door. It seemed that he hadn't seen me for a few days and was worried that something might have happened to me. You know, the room was full of messy materials, and the colors and smells were much scarier than the day when there was a cat in the house. And I had to clean it up..."
"So you started pretending to be him?"
"Not really. He and I have merged completely. I have all his memories, the emotions in them, his habits and physical reactions." Jiang You threw the empty can of Coke into the trash can. "This is probably why my IQ has dropped. He's so stupid. With his clairvoyance, he could have just found a reliable Taoist temple or Buddhist temple and said he wanted to become a monk. Maybe he would have been accepted and could have met his parents in the standard way. But he insisted on doing it himself..."
"What about the spider?"
"Spider, he came here and found there was nothing to eat, and he almost starved to death," Jiang You sighed again, "Oh, that period was really tiring. I was in terrible pain every day, and I had to work hard to make myself look like a human. Of course, I am a human, so I had to find ways to get him food. He was a hands-off boss anyway..."
Tang Butian saw a black spider landed on the long table.
There is a red stripe on the back.
A gust of wind blew by.
White postcards flew out of a brown paper bag on the counter, flew out, swirled in the yard of the insect house, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Why a spider?" Tang Butian asked.
"The summoned being probably looks more like a spider? It appears here with its name and mark, so it also has its form."
“Why ginger?”
"He's into it"
"It's good for him to be like this."
"I hope," Jiang You's eyes suddenly became deep, "he becomes less and less talkative, and every day he just weaves a web, hangs it there, watches a video, and then waits for food to be delivered, and occasionally gets angry with me. This is not the life he should live."
"What is your relationship with him?"
"I'm his guardian," Jiang You touched the spider's back, "I raised him."
"Who were you before?"
Jiang You thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's the head of a charity organization."
Another gust of wind blew in.
The last blank postcard in the cowhide bag fell in front of Jiang Mo.
The transparent filaments on the wrist light up.
"Today is the Ghost Festival, which also happens to be the forty-nineth day since his parents passed away."
The spider silk was turning, and Jiang You put the pen in his hand. He looked at Jiang You and then at Tang Butian.
“You established the rules?”
"There were some things suppressed under the Jinguang Temple, but he ate them bit by bit."
Jiang Mo drew a line on the postcard. He turned his head to look at Jiang You, and Jiang You touched his hair.
He smiled, lowered his head and continued painting.
There are dark shadows outside the door.
"By the way, do you think I've lost some weight?"
Tang Butian turned her head and looked at him.
"I've been going to the gym for several days in a row recently and have lost 80 pounds."
"oh."
Jiang Mo put down his paintbrush.
There was an additional picture on the white postcard, a very simple sketch of a family of three holding hands.
"Those who can touch the silk thread have deep obsessions, like Xia Xia."
The spider crawled on the white postcard.
The lights suddenly brightened for a moment.
Tang Butian saw spider silk slowly spreading on the ground and walls, forming a web and spreading outward.
It's very windy.
The trees outside the store were rustling in the wind.
"The soul is incomplete because there is still a part of it that is somewhere he is determined to go."
Jiang You picked up the postcard, took out a silver lighter from his pocket and lit the postcard.
combustion.
Ashes fell and smoke floated.
The spider silk trembles.
Three figures walked along the spider silk.
Jiang Mo and his parents, just like the ones shown on the postcard, his mother holding his right hand and his father holding his left hand.
The spider silk around my wrist loosened.
Jiang Mo's soul floated out of his body.
The broken soul becomes whole.
The three of them bowed to Jiang You, turned around and walked out. The moment they disappeared outside the courtyard gate, the postcard that was originally hidden in the darkness spontaneously combusted.
All the plants in the yard withered in an instant, and the vitality was sucked out and rushed into Jiang Mo's body.
"Hide the secret?"
"It can't be covered, it can't be covered, just showing respect."
At some point, the spider on the long table disappeared.
A huge dark shadow loomed over them.
The moment the postcard burns .
Jiang Mo opened his eyes.
There is a hint of red in the depths of the dark eyes.
He looked at Jiang You.
"Tang Butian, please do me a favor." Jiang You suddenly said.
"What?"
"Go to the kitchen and heat a cup of milk. Microwave it for two minutes. Quick."
She saw the spider silk wrapped around Jiang You's fingers, circle after circle, and where the silk was wrapped around, reality turned gray, then black, and peeled off.
"Hurry up, if he doesn't wake up, you will probably have to stay at the foot of the mountain for the rest of your life. He is very fierce, really."
Tang Butian ran into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, took out a can of milk, and found a cup.
She poured the milk in.
Put in the microwave.
Select time, two minutes, start.
She stood at the kitchen door and looked at Jiang You, "What's wrong with him?"
"Spiders have very small brains, I guess. Suddenly they were replaced with a larger one, so they must be a little uncomfortable with it?"
"How are you?"
The flesh on his arms peeled off, revealing the bones. "Losing weight is also called losing weight, right?"
bite.
It's heated up.
Tang Butian took out the milk and asked, "What should we do?"
"Give me."
Tang Butian handed it over.
When her fingers touched Jiang You's finger bones, it seemed as if an invisible knife was scraping across her fingers.
She looked at her hand, it was bleeding.
Jiang You put the cup in front of Jiang Mo, and then he looked into his eyes, "It's me."
Jiang You seemed to be gradually unable to control the energy escaping from Jiang Mo. Knife marks appeared on the wall and the postcards on the shelves turned into powder.
Tang Butian picked up the wooden sword placed aside and held it tightly in his hand.
More than ten seconds later.
Jiang Mo's eyes gradually came into focus.
The spider silk disappeared from Jiang You's body.
Jiang Mo picked up the milk cup, took a sip, then turned his head and said, "Dad."
Jiang You reached out and touched his hair.
"Tang Butian, please take me to the hospital, or if you have any elixirs that can invigorate blood circulation and strengthen muscles, give me two pills."
"What about him?"
"It's time for him to go to bed at this time."
