Compared with those book fans who have been following "The Last Wish" from the beginning, Wang Zheng got into the trap relatively late, so he saw more than one major plot of "The Last Wish".
In addition to the story of the male and female protagonists in the opening chapter, he also watched the second major plot in one go.
Watching these two major plots in succession, the impact on his mind was naturally greater.
The love story between the male and female protagonists and the sudden reveal of the heroine Li Yutong's identity shocked him. Then Li Yutong's sister, Li Yuling, who appeared in the transitional chapter, he felt was well portrayed.
But after the transition chapter, the second big plot emerged...
The big plot probably goes like this:
The male protagonist Chen Yang returns to his normal life after visiting his girlfriend's sister Li Yuling. However, his normal life is actually a bit abnormal compared to ordinary people.
A bit of a day and night reverse.
Because his profession is an Internet article writer, he writes Internet articles about Feng Shui. Because he has learned Tianshi Tao magic since he was a child, he has also dabbled in Feng Shui. Writing Internet articles about Feng Shui is considered
What he's good at.
His daily job is to sit in front of the computer to search for information, formulate plots, and code words. In addition to this, the rest of the time he spends his time either going out to the park or night market alone, sleeping alone, watching movies, listening to music, etc.
I code until early in the morning every day, and sleep until midnight every morning.
Such a schedule gave him the opportunity to see other ghosts.
And in this big plot, the ghost who appears... is an old lady.
In the early hours of one morning, after Chen Yang finished writing his manuscript, he heard his stomach growl.
After a slight hesitation, he took his mobile phone, wallet and keys, put on his shoes, put on his coat and went out to the night market for a late-night snack.
In the main text, Chen Yang often goes to the night market for late-night snacks in the early morning.
But this time when he went to the night market to eat barbecue, he accidentally saw a strange old lady.
The strange thing about this old lady is that she has been standing in front of the barbecue stall, watching the owner of the barbecue stall grilling all kinds of food. From time to time, diners come by her side and stand next to her to order food and drinks. How about Chen Yang?
I saw this old lady swallowing for the first time, but she never opened her mouth to order something to eat.
At first, Chen Yang didn't pay special attention to her.
But slowly, Chen Yang looked at her more and more often.
Because he gradually discovered that the owner of the barbecue stall and the diners coming and going could not seem to see this plainly dressed old lady.
Knowing what he was doing, Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and finally realized that the old lady might be a ghost.
With this question in mind, he observed for a moment and finally confirmed his guess that the old lady was really a ghost.
But his recent state of mind... Because of the death of his girlfriend, he has lost his passion for life and has no interest in meddling in others' affairs.
Therefore, although he found out that the old lady was a ghost, he had no idea of going up to say hello. He ate and drank by himself, and then settled the bill as usual.
But when he was checking out and leaving, he subconsciously took one more look at the old lady, and this time, the old lady happened to see her.
At that time, the old lady was a little suspicious.
But the old lady was not sure, she did not catch up, and Chen Yang left smoothly.
Two days later, in the early morning of another morning, Chen Yang came to the night market again to eat barbecue and drink beer.
I saw the old lady again. She was still standing in front of the barbecue stall like last time, swallowing her saliva and watching the owner of the barbecue stall grilling food there.
But this time Chen Yang noticed that the old lady had stolen something.
Maybe she was too greedy, or maybe she was too hungry, so the old lady secretly ate the grilled mutton skewers. The owner of the barbecue stall in front of her didn't notice, and no other diners coming and going noticed.
Eat with a happy smile.
Chen Yang frowned slightly and felt a little disgusted, but he still followed the principle that doing more is worse than doing less and did not meddle in this nosy matter.
But soon, the old lady's secret eating triggered a complaint from a pair of diners.
At the table not far away, the woman among the pair of diners suddenly muttered in confusion: "Huh? Why do these mutton skewers have no taste at all?"
"Really? It's impossible, right? The mutton skewers here are delicious, let me try them!"
The woman's male companion reached out in surprise and took out a bunch of mutton kebabs. As soon as he took a bite, his expression changed. Then he called the owner of the barbecue stall to complain. He complained that the mutton kebabs had no taste and asked the boss to change them quickly.
Pay your share, otherwise you won't pay.
This complaint from the diners naturally attracted the attention of other diners. The owner of the barbecue stall first said it was impossible, with a very firm tone.
But after he tried it himself, his face changed, and he said to himself in confusion: "Hey? What's going on? Why is there really no taste at all? There is no salty taste, no spicy taste, no umami taste, etc., this...
what happened?"
No one could answer him.
Chen Yang, who could answer him, remained silent, watching with cold eyes, and subconsciously glanced at the old lady.
At this time, the old lady looked on with a smile, without any guilt on her face.
The owner of the barbecue stall gave the pair of diners a mutton kebab, which finally appeased the pair of diners' dissatisfaction.
At this time, the old lady came to Chen Yang with a suspicious look on her face. She suddenly reached out to take the barbecue on Chen Yang's plate, but Chen Yang subconsciously raised his hand to block her.
One person and one ghost met each other's eyes. Chen Yang's indifferent eyes made the old lady's eyes light up and asked: "Young man, can you see me? You can see me, right?"
Chen Yang only said one word: "Get out!"
Coincidentally - at this time, a beautiful woman happened to pass by his table. When she heard the word "go", she looked surprised, paused slightly, her cheeks were slightly red, she was ashamed and angry, and then left in a hurry. Before leaving,
Drop two words - "I'm sick!"
The old lady didn't leave. Not only did she not leave, she also looked very excited. She sat down opposite Chen Yang with an excited expression and pestered Chen Yang with questions.
Such as: "Young man! Can you really see me?"
"Young man! How can you see me? No one else can see me. It's been so long, but you are the only one who can see me. Could it be that... your lower pass is very low? So you can see me?"
"Hey! Young man, my surname is Liu, you can call me Aunt Liu, or you can call me grandma..."
etc.
(Xiaguan: There is a folk saying that everyone's Xiaguan is different. People with high Xiaguan are less likely to see ghosts, while people with lower Xiaguan are more likely to see ghosts.)
The old lady probably hadn't talked to anyone for a long time. Finally, she met someone who could see her. She was really excited and kept pestering Chen Yang.
Chen Yang, who was in a low mood, was very annoyed with her. Not only was she annoying because she talked a lot, but he also looked down upon her behavior of eating someone else's mutton skewers just now.
Therefore, when the old lady kept nagging him, he tried to drive her away several times, which was very unfriendly.
But the old lady just wouldn't leave.
Not only did he not leave, he also scolded him for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and had problems with his conduct, and enthusiastically taught him various principles of conduct.
Chen Yang was so annoyed by her that he finally stood up, paid the bill, and left.
However, the old lady also followed him, and she followed him as far as he went without any intention of letting him go.
Chen Yang was so annoyed that he finally stopped and took out a piece of talisman to warn her that if she followed him again, he would be rude to her.
The old lady was finally frightened by him and finally did not dare to follow him.
Chen Yang escaped successfully.
For many days after that, Chen Yang did not come to the night market for late-night snacks.
Every morning when he was hungry and wanted to go out for a late-night snack, when he thought of the old lady at the night market, he temporarily gave up the idea of going out and only cooked instant noodles or ate bread or something in the house.
During this period, Li Yuling came to see him twice, and the atmosphere during both meetings was not warm.
Li Yuling smiled peacefully, came to his residence, and took the initiative to help him clean up the house, sweep the floor and wash the clothes. Chen Yang did not stop him and invited her to dinner, but no matter what she said, he always responded without answering, and his mood remained the same.
not tall.
Finally, in the early morning of another day, Chen Yang cooked instant noodles. After barely eating two mouthfuls with a frown, the third mouthful came to his mouth and he couldn't eat anymore.
I have been eating too much instant noodles recently.
After hesitating, he took a deep breath, stood up, put on his coat, put on his leather shoes, and went out.
He came to the night market again.
But this time, as soon as he arrived at the night market, he was pestered by the old lady.
This time when the old lady came, she took his arm and asked him for help.
Chen Yang didn't even ask her what kind of help she wanted, and just refused.
He did not have a good impression of the old lady and was not interested in helping anyone.
But the old lady refused to give up. Even though she was warned by Chen Yang again, although she was a little afraid of his talisman, she still followed him at a short distance and said what she wanted him to do...
It turned out that the old lady died suddenly, and she had no time to explain the funeral to her children before she suddenly burped, and what she wanted Chen Yang to do was simple - to ask him to help her tell her son that she still wanted to die.
Where are the tens of thousands of dollars hidden? She said that her tens of thousands of dollars were hidden too secretly, and her son would definitely not be able to find them. If Chen Yang didn't help her, her tens of thousands of dollars would be wasted.
After hearing what she said, Chen Yang was a little surprised...the old lady actually hid tens of thousands of dollars before she died.
But Chen Yang still rejected her.
He still resented the old lady and still didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
The old lady begged again and again, but he remained indifferent.
Moreover, this time he really managed to ignore the old lady and let her chatter endlessly in front of him. He only ate and drank quietly. He did not suddenly act like last time before he finished eating.
Leave.
The old lady was afraid of the talisman on his body, but she didn't dare to pull on him anymore.
After nagging for a long time, seeing that he was still indifferent, the old lady finally got a little discouraged. Perhaps she had talked too much and was a little thirsty. She casually grabbed most of the bottle of beer from the guest at the table next to her and drank it all in one breath.
.
After drinking, put the bottle back in its place.
This scene was seen by Chen Yang.
Not long after, Chen Yang saw the diners at the table next to him beckoning the owner of the barbecue stall over and asking why the beer was as light as water.
The diner was angry.
The boss was confused, but after the diner let him taste the bottle of beer, the boss was dumbfounded.
"Here, why does this beer really have no taste? Here, how can the beer be like this? Isn't this too fake? Wait! Wait!"
The boss looked puzzled and took out his cell phone to call the wine supplier, and soon they started arguing with the wine supplier on the phone.
In the end, the boss didn't seem to win the argument. He angrily put away his cell phone, apologized to the diners repeatedly, and compensated the diners with two bottles of beer.
All this was seen by Chen Yang.
He looked at the old lady with even more disgust, and couldn't help but ask: "You are so old, you are eating and drinking for free, and causing trouble for others, do you have the nerve to do so?"
The old lady didn't take it seriously, waved her hand and said, "What can I do? Even though I'm dead, I still have to eat and drink, right? I don't have anywhere to buy food now. If I don't do this, then what will I eat? What will I drink?"
"
As a result, Chen Yang became even more disgusted with her.
…
Day after day, in the following days, every time Chen Yang came to the night market for late-night snacks, he would almost meet this old lady. Every time the old lady saw him, she would come over to talk to him.
Every time, she would beg him to help her tell her son the tens of thousands of dollars she had hidden before her death.
Chen Yang never agreed to help her.
Chen Yang had no sympathy for this old lady who had been dead for more than a month.
He has seen this old lady stealing food and drinks from diners time and time again, so much so that the owner of this barbecue stall has become increasingly frustrated.
Because every time he received a complaint, the food had no taste at all, or the drinks had no taste at all.
He has given away a lot of food and drinks to his customers. The most important thing is that there are too many such things, which have seriously affected the business of his barbecue stall.
Every time Chen Yang comes here, there are fewer diners at this barbecue stall than the last time he came.
But the old lady didn't look guilty at all.
Finally, Chen Yang couldn't stand it anymore. When he saw the old lady coming over and chatting with him again, he suddenly took out a drawn talisman, made a hand gesture, and recited a spell.
Trapped the old lady.
Just when he decided to take in the ghost of the old lady, the old lady begged for mercy and told the whole story.
It turns out that the owner of this barbecue stall is her nephew.
Because her parents died young, this nephew was raised by her since he was a child.
But her nephew had no sense of gratitude. When he grew up, he stopped interacting with her family. She was always angry, so after her death, she often lingered near her nephew's barbecue stall. At first, she just wanted to
Ask her nephew to help her send a message to her son, telling her son where the money she hid is.
The reason why she wanted her nephew to pass on the message was because her nephew seemed to have a low level of education when he was young. According to him, he had seen ghosts several times.
But the old lady had been lingering here for so long, and the nephew seemed to have lost sight of her, so naturally it was impossible to help her pass the message.
And she watched him grilling barbecue and selling beer every day, and she was gradually aroused to be greedy. Then she thought that she had raised her nephew, but he had never been filial to her when he grew up. He had opened a barbecue stall for several years.
, but she has never eaten his barbecue. Out of greed and resentment, she has been eating his barbecue and drinking his beer recently.
