Chapter 5 Axiu
Chapter 5 A Xiu ()
Li Yin looked at the bright moon outside the window, and when the pointer of his watch crossed midnight - it means that they were already bound in this village. Only one month later, until midnight on July 8, could they leave here.
One month...it's really rare.
In terms of the usual blood-word instructions.
He still clearly remembers the scene when Ye Kexin took him to see Xia Yuan for the first time.
Xia Yuan, who lived in Room 1006, gave Li Yin his first impression at that time, was that he was the one who lived in this terrifying place for four years (Xia Yuan lived for four years a year ago). Is it true?
Wearing a pair of frameless glasses, a well-decorated suit, a slender figure, elegant and kind-hearted face, she looks... she can't equate with the long-term building in Li Yin's mind.
"Are you a new resident?" Xia Yuan easily accepted him at that time, as if he had become accustomed to it.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, I..."
"Stop saying anything." Xia Yuan immediately asked him to sit down in the room, and then said to Ye Kexin: "Kexin, go and inform everyone about the newcomer."
Kexin looked at Xia Yuan at that time, her face couldn't help but look like a ripe apple, and she didn't dare to look directly at him. Then, she nodded shyly and walked out.
Xia Yuan’s room is about the same size as Li Yin’s. However, in comparison, it is arranged a little simpler.
"Don't be too nervous," Xia Yuan said with a smile. "People who enter this apartment for the first time will be at a loss, and when I tell him the truth, they will feel that the worldview collapses, which is difficult to accept and believe."
"I...I feel like all this is in vagueness until now." Li Yin held his forehead and said, "Mr. Xia...I really want to live here forever?"
"Drink coffee or tea?" Xia Yuan did not answer directly, but took out a ceramic cup from the cabinet and said, "I have Yuqian Longjing in Hangzhou here. If the coffee is also imported from Colombia and Brazil, my parents sent it to me abroad."
"Coffee... I always feel that this kind of thing is no different from traditional Chinese medicine." Li Yin said with a wry smile: "Well, the tea is good, by the way, don't add wolfberry."
"Okay. Do you want to add some chrysanthemums?"
"Can."
Xia Yuan looked only twenty-four or fifteen years old, a little older than Li Yin, but he was very experienced in his behavior. After making tea, he kindly handed it to Li Yin, and then said, "You should believe what I say next, as much as possible. I can guarantee you that I will never lie. However, I have no definite guarantee for how much you can accept."
"I, I understand."
Then, Xia Yuan told Li Yin everything.
When everything was said, Li Yin's expression was so shocked that he could not accept such a strange statement.
But...this is true again. He had tried to walk outside the alley to see here, and indeed...the apartment disappeared without a trace.
This is indeed an incomprehensible building.
"I understand how you feel now, but... I have to tell you... I will die after leaving this apartment for more than forty-eight hours. If you don't believe it, I can show you a little video. I used to be..."
"I believe." Li Yin accepted this easily and continued: "Then... you all met them in the places indicated by blood... they met..."
"Yes." Xia Yuan's face turned pale when he said this: "I'm sorry, since I entered this apartment, I have never been an atheist again."
"The existence of idealism...?" Li Yin's hand began to tremble continuously at this moment.
Xia Yuan pushed the glasses on his nose and said, "I can live to this day and look back on the past is simply a nightmare. Just recalling it, I doubt how I survived it."
At this time, Li Yin raised a question.
"You just said... there are usually no blood-word instructions in the apartment for more than half a year. So... for the same resident, how long is the blood-word instructions generally? "
"It's hard to say." Xia Yuan continued: "It will be faster at first, and a new blood word will appear every few months. However, the later it goes, the longer the interval will be. I have completed five blood word instructions, and the last blood word instructions, it's almost a year since now."
"Well... don't we have to stay there without issuing instructions?"
"Yes. There is no way. You can leave with ten blood words. It was also what the old residents told me when I first moved in. And those old residents died later."
Li Yin knew very well... I am afraid that he would have to live in this apartment for a long time in the future.
Then, Xia Yuan took him to meet his neighbors in various apartments.
The following people impressed Li Yin, Hua Liancheng and Yizhang, who lived in Room 706. The couple were both young and seemed to have just graduated from college. They lived in this apartment a year earlier than Li Yin and had a good time with him. There were two others, which made him unforgettable.
One is Tang Wenshan who lives in Room 502, and the other is Keiyuko Oda who lives in Room 402.
Tang Wenshan is an extremely gloomy and taciturn young man with extremely cold eyes. When he sees anyone, he looks like an irreconcilable enemy with him; while Kieki Oda is a college student who came to study in China from Japan. He speaks very well in Chinese, while she has a very calm and calm expression that makes people feel unable to see through her. Another reason why Shinoko left a deep impression on Li Yin is that... She is so beautiful that she shocks Li Yin and is a standard Gothic loli.
After Li Yin started living in the apartment, he naturally often met Chesako Oda, the next neighbor. At first, he hoped to deal with these experienced residents well. Ye Kexin was very approachable, but Chesako Oda always gave people the feeling that she was inaccessible. When she was fine, she always held a Japanese version of "The Story of Genji".
Li Yin remembered that when he went out yesterday, he and Ye Kexin went to Oda Cheshiko's house to say goodbye. And she was still so cold that she never said a word from beginning to end.
However, the Hua Liancheng couple were very enthusiastic and repeatedly asked them to be cautious and come back alive. This touched Li Yin very much. After a year, their relationship was deep.
Everyone... After all, they all support each other and live until now!
Thinking of this, Li Yin was filled with emotion and looked at Luo Hengyan and Qin Shoutian who were sleeping beside him, as well as Ye Kexin who was constantly fighting with the sleepy insects.
"Kexin, hold on. We must have two people awake." Li Yin said: "You stick to it, right, have some more tea."
"I'm fine..." Although she said so, she still yawned: "I, I can't fall asleep."
Li Yin had to talk to her more and let her concentrate: "Then, let's talk. Kexin, you... like Xia Yuan, right?"
"Ah, right... um? Ah, no no no, no, I'm not..." Ke Xin waved her hand quickly and said, "I, I'm not Xia Yuan..."
Ye Kexin's ability to live until now is not unrelated to Xia Yuan's existence. After three years, she has been working until now. "Xia... Xia Yuan," Ye Kexin's face turned red at this moment: "He may not be able to like me. What's more, now, the first thing to consider is survival issues. I don't dare to think about these..."
Li Yin smiled and said, "We can definitely leave that damn apartment together...must!"
Ye Kexin felt a little relieved when she heard Li Yin's words.
"Hengyan, he is also impulsive, I am just worried about him," Li Yin turned around and looked at Luo Hengyan who was sleeping and said, "He is very pitiful. After both parents died, they came to live alone in City K. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"Yes..." Ye Kexin nodded and said, "Shoutian is also... he divorced because of his wife's affair. He wandered around in the middle of the night alone, drinking and getting drunk, but the shadow was... "
Qin Shoutian and Ye Kexin had received the same blood-word instruction before. There were only three people that time, but the other one died, and only Qin Shoutian and Ye Kexin survived. Therefore, Ye Kexin also had a strong sense of companionship towards Qin Shoutian and hoped that he could survive.
The next day...it finally arrived.
"So, Mr. Li and Miss Ye haven't gotten up yet?" Early in the morning, Village Chief Zhang came to greet them, while Luo Hengyan replied that Li Yin and Ye Kexin were very tired and were still resting.
"It doesn't matter," Village Chief Zhang suddenly looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then asked Luo Hengyan in a low voice: "Mr. Luo, there is no one here, just tell me... When will your boss come?"
"Ah? Boss?" Luo Hengyan was stunned and asked, "What boss?"
"Haha, you're still pretending. I know your boss has told you to pretend to be like you. It doesn't matter. I've been angry with the people in the village, so they won't dare not to ignore my face. You can just watch everywhere in the village, and I have absolutely no objection."
"I...I don't understand..."
"Yes, yes, yes, you don't understand, just don't understand. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well during the period of your stay in the village. Your boss has already contacted me."
Looking at Village Chief Zhang's attentive appearance, Luo Hengyan began to realize that the village chief seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, it seems that it is because of that "boss" that the village allows them to stay, and even attack their own grandchildren, and they are so enthusiastic about them.
Then... let him continue to misunderstand.
"grandfather!"
Zhang Suyue suddenly ran over hurriedly and said unhappily: "Grandpa, a big thing happened... Hao, Uncle Haotian, he is gone!"
"Haotian?" Village Chief Zhang frowned immediately, and then said to Luo Hengyan: "Mr. Luo... I'll deal with something first."
"Lost" is really a word that can easily cause contact for Luo Hengyan, who is extremely sensitive to everything. Li Yin repeatedly warned him that any "unnatural" must be paid attention to. Therefore, he immediately said: "Village Chief, I, go and have a look with you!"
In front of the rushing waterfall, Ah Xiu took off her shoes and soaked her feet in water, shaking her feet.
"Axiu..."
She immediately turned around and saw that it was her next door neighbor, Liang Renbin, who grew up as a childhood sweetheart.
Liang Renbin, who looks very handsome, has always been very close to Ah Xiu. After Ah Xiu's parents died, he clearly proposed the idea of hoping Ah Xiu would marry In Bin. However, Ah Xiu took the reason for his parents to be filial and kept dragging his marriage. After all, people in the countryside have more conservative ideas than those in the city.
But...Asoo stayed away from Inbin after the incident happened.
"Today is Sister Bing'er's Day," A Xiu turned his head and said, "I will worship her. No matter how taboo people in the village are, I will never forget this day."
"Why? Ah Xiu, for Li Bing, you have to keep going against me like this? She is already dead, what else can I do?"
"I don't want to see you again." Ah Xiu continued to say coldly: "If you come over again, I'm not polite!"
Liang Renbin said with a bitter face: "Okay... OK... Anyway, it's useless to say anything to you on this day. But, Ah Xiu, you have to remember that I am always sincere to you!"
After Renbin left, Ah Xiu bent down, scooped up water and washed her face. At this moment, she saw through her fingers... the one reflected on the water was not her face, but another woman!
She slowly took her hand away, and her own face was still reflected on the water.
