Chapter 4 A Chinese Girl Ruolan (2): The secret sign of the midnight ghost date
The sound of opera came from the headphones. This was the opera piece that Wu Ruolan had played in the room before.
This is a terrifying ghost play in the Yue Opera, called "Ghost Wedding", also known as "Love Hook". This is an excerpt from the Yue Opera excerpt "Water Margin", which tells the story of a man who worked as an escort in Yuncheng County, Shandong at that time.
Song Jiang took Yan Xijiao as his concubine. Zhang Wenyuan, who worked at the county government with Song Jiang at that time, coveted Yan Xijiao's beauty, pretended to borrow tea and flirted with her, and then the two hooked up and became an adulterer. Later, the affair was exposed, and Yan Xijiao was killed by Song Jiang.
After Yan Xijiao's death, she still remained in love with Zhang Wenyuan. Her ghost appeared in the county government office and told Zhang Wenyuan about their feelings of separation. She also asked Zhang Wenyuan to fulfill his vow to "live and die in the same grave". Zhang Wenyuan was unwilling and kept politely saying so.
When the rooster sang three times, Yan Xijiao had to strangle it to death and then go to the underworld together.
"Water Margin" is actually "Water Margin", and Yan Xijiao is also Yan Poxi. Many people are very familiar with the plot of Song Jiang killing Yan Poxi, but they are not particularly clear about the story of Yan Xijiao in Yue Opera. I also heard it from a friend who wrote Yue Opera lyrics.
After going through these things, he knew that I wrote suspense novels, so he recommended that I read these horror-themed repertoires. In addition to "Ghost Wedding", there is also the famous "Nv Hanging".
Wu Ruolan likes to listen to Yue opera, and it is also a horror genre. The most important thing is that I also heard her singing. Although I am not sure that she is singing, these clues and plots make me more and more interested in Wu Ruolan.
I even speculated that maybe she was not mute at all. She had her own secret. Maybe Zheng Shihao, who lived across the street, discovered her secret, so he threatened her and violated her, and she was unwilling to call the police.
But what secret will Wu Ruolan have? And will this secret make her rather be bullied by others than go to the police?
My heart is full of doubts.
After thinking about it, I decided to meet Wu Ruolan and do a test on her to see if she is really mute?
The next afternoon, I came to the door of room 203 and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened a crack, and Wu Ruolan looked at me warily from inside.
"Hello, I am a guest of 205. Do you have any needle and thread? I would like to borrow it?" I made up a reason.
Wu Ruolan nodded and signaled me to wait a moment. She turned and walked back to the room. After a while, she took out her sewing box and handed it to me.
When I took the sewing box, I deliberately took a step forward and stepped on Wu Ruolan's foot. Sure enough, her body trembled and she let out a small cry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." I apologized quickly.
Wu Ruolan waved her hand and then smiled, meaning it didn't matter.
It seems that Wu Ruolan is indeed mute. Generally speaking, people will instinctively make some normal reactions in an unconscious state. For example, if Wu Ruolan is pretending to be mute, she will scream when she is stepped on in an unconscious state.
Because there is a problem with the mute's vocal cords, the sounds he makes are different from those made by normal people. If he is deliberately pretending, he can hear it at once. Now it is certain that Wu Ruolan is mute and it should not be congenital, otherwise
She also has problems with her ears. Wu Ruolan has a problem with her vocal cords and cannot speak normally, but her hearing is normal. This should be acquired.
Back in the room, I put the sewing box on the table. After a moment of silence, I reopened Ding Yang's diary and looked at his records about Wu Ruolan.
Since the last conflict with Zheng Shihao and Wu Ruolan's resistance, Ding Yang felt that he was really cheap. He even thought that Wu Ruolan might be the kind of patient who naturally likes to be abused. Then one day, Ding Yang received a temporary request from the director at night.
He went over to make up for a scene. What he didn't expect was that when he opened the door and was about to go out, he actually saw Wu Ruolan opening the door and walking downstairs.
Maybe it was because Ding Yang fought with Zheng Shihao for herself last time, Wu Ruolan nodded to Ding Yang. Ding Yang didn't say anything and walked forward quickly.
Several times later, Ding Yang discovered that Wu Ruolan always seemed to go out at night after a while and come back very late. The reason why Ding Yang knew this was because it was already around three o'clock in the night when he came back from filming. Unexpectedly,
Wu Ruolan actually just came back. And I saw a few faint red things under her lips, which were a little lighter than lipstick, more like blood...
The record of Wu Ruolan in Ding Yang's diary ends here. He left a suspense that made my scalp numb and my back cold. If Wu Ruolan only attracted me because of his personality traits before, now I feel that Wu Ruolan is attracted.
Mine should be the secret behind her.
I remember the landlady also said that Wu Ruolan would go out when she had time and would often come back in the middle of the night.
I suddenly had a bold idea to follow Wu Ruolan and see where she went?
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Once an idea appears in my mind, all kinds of imaginations will start to come to mind. In addition, I am an author who writes suspense novels, and countless possibilities appear in my imagination.
I felt extremely excited and quietly waited for Wu Ruolan to come out.
At 10:40 at night, Wu Ruolan's cell phone rang through the eavesdropping earphones. Then she turned off the walkman, packed up and went out. I was already prepared and quickly followed her out.
Wu Ruolan walked slowly and slowly, and she walked from the lonely building to the front. I quickly followed her to the lively urban area in front. I don’t know whether I was careful or she was careless. She didn’t notice that I was following her all the way. We
I walked through a street and then came to an alley in the back. Finally I saw Wu Ruolan walking into a house in the front. When I got closer, I realized that it turned out to be an abandoned theater.
There are very few theaters in today's cities. Most cinemas are in shopping malls. Advanced technology and giant screens have replaced the previous theater specifications.
The door of this theater is still there, Sing Kee Theatre.
Although I have been in this city for more than a year, I never knew that there was an abandoned Cheng Kee Theater here, and what was Wu Ruolan doing here in the middle of the night?
I suddenly remembered that in some movies and TV shows, some drug traffickers specifically look for deserted places to do business. Wu Ruolan's cell phone rang just now. Could it be that someone was meeting her here to trade? If I go there rashly and are discovered by them, what will happen to the other party?
If you are a disciple, then I am too dangerous.
After much hesitation, I walked in.
It was dark inside the theater, with only windows on both sides beside the front stage. The light from outside shone in, so I could see clearly. I walked a few steps forward and was about to find a seat to sit down.
Music suddenly sounded on the stage, and then a ghostly figure walked to the center of the stage from behind. Looking through the faint moonlight, it turned out to be a woman made up as an opera actress. She waved her sleeves and said
Singing the lyrics at a glance.
Thinking of Li Daitao, she turned over due to stiffness
Hate him to turn into rain and clouds
Poor red pink Fu Qingping.
My tears stain my breasts, just like ashes burning my heart
Self-immolation from time to time
Self-immolation from time to time
My mind suddenly exploded. This was the lyrics from "Love Hook". It was the part where the ghost of Yan Poxi took Zhang Wenyuan away. I couldn't help but take a few steps forward and stared at the opera singer on the stage carefully. She
The more she looked, the more familiar she became. It was Wu Ruolan with a little make-up.
At this time, I stepped on something, my body tilted, and I almost fell to the ground. I hurriedly held on to the seat next to me, only to see that there were densely packed people sitting next to me.
Why are there so many people? I was horrified, and then I looked carefully, and suddenly I felt like I was scared to death. There were so many people there. They were paper figures next to each other, pale white.
She has an eggshell face, scarlet lips, and a dull and lifeless expression, but there is an indescribable terror in her.
"Hey hey hey hey." At this time, Wu Ruolan on the stage let out a sinister laugh. I don't know if it was the laughter stage in the play, or if he was taunting me.
I sat up straight, but fortunately there were paper figures around me, so I couldn't see anything clearly. Just when I was about to stand up, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind me and put it on my shoulder tremblingly.
"Young man, can I ask a question?" A deep voice came from behind.
I trembled all over, took a breath, slowly turned my head, and then saw a twisted and terrifying face. It looked at me with a ferocious smile, as if it was a ghost crawling out of hell. I could no longer bear the pain in my heart.
Terrified, I rolled and crawled out and ran away...
