Chapter 71: An Unimaginable Reunion For All Readers
It's hard to imagine that scene. My mind is very clear. I know exactly what time and place we are now. I don't know how many years ago this dilapidated hotel was built. The walls in the room are as old as the entire building. But
The more I listened, the more I felt that the sound was indeed coming from the wall.
"North...North..."
The sound will sound every once in a while. Every time the sound sounds, my heart and fingertips will tremble with its frequency. The sound is separated by a thick wall, but it always makes me feel,
It's a sound I'm familiar with.
I couldn't help but think of a scene I'd seen more than once in a horror movie. The strange noise coming from the wall was because there was an old corpse sealed inside...
I didn't feel very scared, because I didn't believe that corpses could cause trouble. The fear quickly turned into a kind of mystery, and I slowly approached the opposite wall. Fan Tuan was sleeping very hard, and I didn't want to wake him up.
, so I didn’t turn on the light and only took a flashlight.
"North...North..."
The sound was as if it was enchanting. Through the wall, I couldn't hear whether there was any emotion in the sound. However, subconsciously, I felt that there was a deep sadness in it.
After entering the room, I never carefully observed the corners of the room. At this moment, under the illumination of the flashlight, I saw a layer of dust on the wall. It was so dusty that I couldn't tell anything from the appearance alone.
With my ears pressed against the wall, every time a sound rang out, I immediately adjusted my position. Several times, I slowly located the specific source.
The sound seemed to come from the wall more than one meter high. I wiped off the dust on the wall and tapped it lightly with the handle of the knife. But the wall surface was made with a large amount of sand mixed with a small amount of cement slurry.
Yes, the sound conductivity of sand itself is very poor. By testing it this way, you can't tell whether the wall is hollow or not.
However, the thin layer of mortar was very loose after it dried hard. When I knocked the handle of the knife, the sand fell from the wall. I tried to dig with the tip of the knife, and a piece of it was removed as soon as I dug. This is much easier.
I dug quickly, and in three to five minutes, a hole the size of a bowl and more than ten centimeters deep was dug out in the wall. In my understanding, it is impossible for such a load-bearing wall to be completely built with mortar, otherwise
The house collapsed long ago, but I dug all the way without encountering any obstacles. There was not a single brick in this wall, at least within the area I dug.
The deeper the hole was dug, the clearer the sound became, and the sense of familiarity increased sharply. My mind began to go blank and I didn't know what to think, but the movements of my hands kept moving.
puff......
After digging about twenty centimeters deep, a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl was dug through. Immediately afterwards, the mortar block next to the hole collapsed, and the hole immediately widened to a diameter of twenty or thirty centimeters.
"north......"
At the same time that the hole was dug through, the shouts that had been heard countless times were heard again. Without the barrier of the wall, the sound suddenly became extremely real.
I can't describe my feelings at this moment. The hand holding the knife suddenly tightened. The place buried deep in my heart that I didn't want to remember or let anyone touch, was like a stagnant water.
I had the urge to cry, because what that voice brought to me was the saddest memory in my life.
I took a flashlight and shined it along the hole. The wall was indeed hollow. After the hole, there was a passage about two meters wide and I don’t know how long it was. But I had no time to think about this, because the moment the light penetrated,
A face that has haunted me in my dreams countless times came into my sight.
This face has a pair of gray eyes. Through the light, I saw that the gray eyes were filled with crystal tears, spinning drop by drop in the eye sockets.
"north......"
She stood on the other side of the cave entrance and called out tremblingly. With this soft call, my thoughts and even my whole body seemed to be pulled back to 1986.
"Whispering..." There was a cry in my voice. I am not used to crying, but when I saw her, everything in my chaotic mind disappeared and everything was her shadow.
.
"Beifang, I'm here, I hear your voice." The tears in her eyes suddenly began to fall. There seemed to be countless inexplicable emotions in those gray eyes. She gently bit her own lips.
Lips, letting tears fall silently: "I heard your voice..."
"Qingyu!" I don't want to think about any questions anymore. I don't even want to know why the dead Qingyu can stand less than two meters away from me again. I just want to touch her face and touch her hair.
, feeling her temperature and reality. I dug hard at the hole and peeled off the surrounding mortar pieces piece by piece.
But when the diameter of the hole expanded to thirty centimeters, my hand suddenly touched a hard brick. Just as I imagined, there could be no bricks in this wall, but there was such a hole between the thick bricks.
Facing the hard bricks, my hands suddenly seemed weak, but my fingers slammed into the bricks and it hurt. This made me know that it was not a dream.
Is all this possible? Is it true?
At this moment, it doesn't matter to me whether it's real or not. I just want to see her, it's that simple. I can't widen the hole, I can only watch Qingyu through a wall. I stand on tiptoe vigorously
Point your toes and stretch your hand through the hole.
Whispering on the other side of the wall may still not be able to see anything, but she seemed to be able to feel me reaching out to her. She shed tears and raised her hand at the same time. At that moment, I held her palm and it was very touching.
It was cool, but extremely soft and real. That feeling made me realize that she was alive, she was alive.
This is a kind of confusion that I can't understand. Time, life and death, are completely subverted. A person who died in 1986 is standing in front of me perfectly. I can feel her body temperature and body temperature.
That light body fragrance that I am familiar with and have been intoxicated by before.
"I know...you kept your promise...you took care of me and cared about my child..." Qingyu's body was trembling slightly, and she was willing to express her emotions.
Very excited: "You like her very much..."
I was speechless. I thought of the many nights in the barren mountains, holding the infant Qingqing and looking at the night sky alone. That young life was as precious as mine, but she was gone.
I couldn't find her. When I faced Qingyu, I felt guilty.
"Everyone has a path to take. On the road, you may be happy or sad, it doesn't matter..." Qingyu's thinking is very normal, just like her sobriety when she was on the verge of death in the barren mountains.
, she kept crying, but seemed to have seen through all the illusions in the world of mortals: "If I, or someone else, dies suddenly, it can only be said that the road between me and them is too short."
Looking at her as if she was gibbering, sparks suddenly flashed through my chaotic mind. This was definitely not a dream. I couldn't understand it but I had to accept it. Holding her hand, I could feel the growth and continuation of life.
, she is alive. I never thought I could see her again in this life. I suddenly realized that the sealed hole in this wall seemed to be specially reserved for me and Qingyu to meet. I could see her through this
The small hole saw her, but he couldn't get any closer.
I want to know what all this is about. Only by understanding this can I keep her.
"Tell me!" I grabbed her hand and asked eagerly: "Where are you from? How did you get here? How did you know I was here? Who told you this?"
"North, nothing is impossible in this world. You and I have to face this fact." Qingyu did not answer my question and said: "If you can't understand, I can only explain that you
Don’t understand.”
"Answer my question!" As soon as my mind cleared up, I immediately realized that it was probably no accident that Qingyu and I met in this way. There was a hole only thirty centimeters wide, and a wall so thick that I couldn't shake it.
The wall is the barrier between me and her. I don't know when she will come, and I can't stop her from leaving. A wall is like thousands of mountains and rivers, I can't cross it.
"Do you still remember what I said to you?" Qingyu still didn't answer me and said: "The beak inscription represents the essence of this world."
"What is the nature of this world!"
"I don't know." She shook her head: "If you understand the nature of this world, that is the final answer to all questions."
"No need to talk about this now!" I interrupted her categorically, then withdrew my hand and hurriedly searched for suitable tools in the room. I wanted to expand the hole wider and drill through it.
"North, the essence of the world, is very important. It is a key. Use it to open all the closed doors in the world." Qingyu slowly took a step back at the moment I let go. It was just this step.
The distance made it impossible for my hands to touch her: "I heard your voice, I'm very happy, you want to live well..."
"Don't leave! Don't leave yet! Wait a minute!" I had a premonition that she was about to leave, and I couldn't care less about Fan Tuan who was sleeping soundly next to me and shouted at the entrance of the cave.
But Qingyu kept retreating. There seemed to be too much attachment and too much reluctance in her gray eyes, but she was still retreating.
Just because you're not willing to give it up doesn't mean you can keep it.
"Don't leave!" I suddenly became anxious, turned around and opened Fan Tuan's big bag, and took out an ice pick from it. In just ten seconds, the whispers on the other side of the wall receded further and further, and they were about to
