[184] The past is unbearable
Standing in front of the mirror and looking at himself, who looked even more uglier than a ghost, Zhong Kui couldn't help but laugh or cry. Wasn't he just indulging in a dream and not waking up in time? Why did he have to hit someone so hard?
Black and White Wuchang appeared at the door. This was the first time they appeared in front of Zhong Kui in the night reality.
The seven little ghosts were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared without a trace.
"What? Did I hit you wrong?" Black and White Wuchang did not open his mouth but could make a sound. (Ghost ventriloquism) A faint and sinister smile appeared on the white ghost face, which made him shiver.
"Yes, good fight, great fight. My whole life is ruined at the hands of you two brothers. I, Zhong Kui, am destined to be extinct. No woman dares to want an ugly monster like me."
"Hahaha, you kid, what do you have to complain about? We brothers are here to help you, why don't you thank us quickly." The reason why Black and White Wuchang didn't open his mouth to speak is because at this time, in reality, once he opens his mouth to speak, his mouth will be closed.
The ghost energy inside will continue to invade this brat's every breath and every breath, doing a lot of harm to his body but no benefit.
"Hey! If you thank me, you can help me. It's a help." Zhong Kui said with a naive smile.
"Something good for you is about to happen soon. We brothers are busy, so we won't give you any clothes. Remember what we once said, remember~ remember."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhong Kui became anxious and shouted: "Hey! I'm leaving after the disfigurement. You have to help me remove that mark!"
"That's a thing for you to suppress evil. Don't know good from evil." Only his voice was heard, but his person was not seen. The two of them had already disappeared into the space.
Remember what you said before? Is it a hint that I don't care about what's going on here? Zhong Kui secretly guessed that he sat slowly on the soft bed and calmed down before slowly recalling everything that happened before.
This hotel was formerly a mental hospital. What happened to the vanilla that appeared in the dream? If the vanilla was always stored in the memory, but there were so many people in the mental hospital, why did that man appear in sight?
He rubbed his eyebrows and leaned back involuntarily. The force of leaning down caused the bedside table to vibrate slightly. The black and white brothers reminded them not to care about this matter, so they would be happy to relax... and go to Wengen's house tomorrow.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhong Kui was no longer sleepy, so he wanted to pack up and prepare to go to the city. This place is relatively remote from the city. If you go on foot, it will take at least an hour, so you must hurry up.
Seeing Black and White Wuchang leaving, the seven little ghosts all swarmed over. Especially Little Chrysanthemum, she seemed to have something to say...
What does Little Chrysanthemum want to say? Let’s put this paragraph aside for now and let’s go see what Zhiqing is doing.
After Zhiqing returned from Wengen's house, he stayed in the study in a depressed mood and could not come out.
The wife felt anxious when she saw her husband like this.
As the saying goes: Diseases are easy to cure, but heart diseases are difficult to treat.
Since her husband returned home from other places, he has been silent. Later he went to the county town, so the couple had less opportunities to communicate.
Seeing her husband like this now, why shouldn't the wife be anxious?
The wife tried every means to test Zhiqing, trying to find flaws in his words and deeds. But he just banged a hammer and farted. After asking for a long time, she couldn't find a reason. She had no choice but to ask her father for help. In this case
At home, they get along quite well with each other. Maybe they are both strong-willed men. They are both young and engaged in this field of surveying work, so there is no grudge and communication is easy.
The old father-in-law came to Zhiqing for a heart-to-heart talk.
"What's going on recently? Are you out of your mind?" The old father-in-law took out the chessboard and prepared to fight for his son-in-law.
Putting down the secret journal in his hand, he smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, it's okay..."
"Don't hide it from me, kid. I have poisonous eyes. I can tell at a glance that you have something on your mind." The old father-in-law picked up a chess piece, stared at the chessboard for a closer look, and then placed it in a key position solemnly.
"Well, dad is definitely going to win this game." Zhiqing said carelessly. He picked up a chess piece absentmindedly and was a little hesitant about how to deal with the next move, considering his father-in-law's offensive tendency.
"Don't interrupt, let's get down to business and tell me what's on your mind."
"It's about a friend of mine." Zhiqing said as he put down the chess piece, not wanting to continue the battle.
"Your friend? He's not a friend of the opposite sex, is he?" the old father-in-law joked.
Zhiqing's lover was standing close to the door of the study room. When her father mentioned the thing that worried her the most, her heart suddenly tightened, and she wanted to hear what her husband would say next.
"Ha~ Dad, you are so funny. I have such a good wife like Minzi. What else are you thinking about? It's not the opposite sex, it's Zhong Kui. You've seen her before."
The old father-in-law laughed heartily.
The wife outside the door was suddenly enveloped in a halo of happiness, and she left the eavesdropping range with a sweet smile of satisfaction.
"What's wrong with Zhong Kui?" the old father-in-law said seriously.
"He came to City A."
"You didn't invite anyone to your home, where would you let him live alone?"
"I invited him here. He...this kid has a stubborn temper and insists on finding a place to live by himself."
"Did he come to City A for business?"
"His sister is here, but you don't know that his brother-in-law is my apprentice Wen Gen."
"Pfft! Then it's over and we can just hand him over to Wen Gen. Why are you worrying so blindly?"
"Dad, here's the problem. He came to City A with me and went to Wengen's house yesterday. The whole family said that Zhong Kui hasn't shown up yet. You said this..."
"I didn't contact you either?"
"No, if I were contacted, would I still be so worried?"
"Oh! Let's go look for it at the hotel?"
"I went and looked for it in several houses, but couldn't find it."
"Then, where do you think such a big living person will go?"
"Dad, I'm afraid he will go..." Zhiqing paused. He really didn't want this incident to trigger sad memories of his father-in-law.
"I understand, are you afraid that he will go to the 't' hotel?"
Zhiqing nodded.
The father-in-law frowned and remained silent... The atmosphere in the space instantly became dull because of this topic.
The chessboard was temporarily abandoned by the two of them, and the few lonely chess pieces lost their allure.
"'T' hotel, a cemetery for the living, alas! Toshiko's mother died unjustly..."
Zhiqing apologized: "Dad, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, the scars are all scarred, and I can no longer feel the pain." The old father-in-law waved his hands and said. His deep eyes fell into the unbearable past...
During those turbulent years, as a man who worked diligently and thought only about the interests of the country, he was afraid of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing, so he completely ignored his wife and family.
The daughter is fostered at her grandmother's house, and the wife is being cared for in a suburban mental hospital.
My wife is young and beautiful, even after giving birth to a child, she is still so dazzling.
The director of the mental hospital valued his wife very much, and she was promoted from an ordinary intern nurse to a head nurse, and finally became the backbone of the mental hospital.
But what happened next was something I never expected.
The dean's purpose in promoting his wife turned out to be that he coveted her beauty. During his absence, his wife lived in a mental hospital for a long time and was too lazy to clean up the dust at home.
When he returned home exhausted, he saw nothing but mess and dust, but no trace of his wife.
He knew where his wife worked and went to find her.
But when we arrived at a mental hospital, the person in charge said that his wife had resigned and left a week ago.
