Chapter 43: '6' for life, '1' for death

At this point Gu Xizhou had closed the toilet window, then a few dark shadows gradually grew from far to near, and Gu Xizhou was looked at Gu Xizhou by a faceless monster with a neck around him. A pair of big eyes seemed a bit aggrieved. Companions are holding their faces against the window, but because of the cover of the newspaper, they didn't know there was someone in the toilet.
Ghost: What strangled my throat oao
"That's good, rest assured, as long as you're good, I'll let you go after asking." Gu Xizhou smelled a strong smell, raised his brow slightly, and said quietly, "I will find your face."
Ghost: "?"
...
In the room, two human-shaped outlines were drawn on the windows of the room. Fu Yiran sat on the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt, facing away from the figure on the window behind him.
About two hours later, Gu Xizhou released and grabbed the monster with satisfaction, while throwing it out violently, and just bumped into another faceless monster that replaced it. The monster roared, Want to come over—
The faceless violent face of Gu Xizhou grabbed its ‘little sister’ and then disappeared into the night like a fly.
Gu Xizhou left the bathroom and came out. At this time, Fu Yiran wrapped his body in a quilt and sat on the bed. Seeing Gu Xizhou was relieved.
Seeing Gu Xizhou sitting next to the bed, a pair of black eyes lingered in the darkness and looked at Gu Xizhou silently until Gu Xizhou lay back on the bed. He strangely lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, are you asleep?"
Gu Xizhou pointed to the figure outside the window and whispered, "What do you do without sleeping? Go out and chat with them?"
Fu Yiran wrapped in the quilt and glanced at the figure on the window, "..."
The last day.
As soon as Gu Xizhou opened the door, he smelled a fragrance of food.
When they walked into the dining room, they met the woman who has been cooking for them for a few days. The table was full of rich meals, which was richer than yesterday's dinner. Fu Yiran sat down with a butt, saying in wonder: "Today Why is breakfast so rich? "
The pot-bellied woman wiped her hands with a parchment, and smiled, saying, "Tomorrow will be sacrificed."
"Oh," Fu Yiran nodded as a matter of course. "It's guillotine, I know. It's very human!"
Si Yu: "..."
Gu Xizhou: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Liu Kai, who was supported by him, heard this sentence, his body trembled slightly, and the expression on his face was uglier than crying.
At breakfast, the atmosphere was very depressing for a while. Gu Xizhou noticed that Fu Yi on the side was very relaxed. Gu Xizhou next to the grass had had breakfast and the group entered the shrine again.
They had just started, and the woman inside unexpectedly started crying again, and the needle fell in the sky.
The face under the marble broken by the man who disappeared yesterday was gone. Gu Xizhou was so sharp that he seemed to have fewer women crying today than yesterday.
"Well ... this time it really isn't working, it's over, it's not a loss, I'm a late-stage gastric cancer, and I should have died." One of his teammates sat down with a dismay, apparently giving up.
And Fu Yiran also sat aside, holding his chin with one hand, looking at the sky outside, and sighing with emotion, "Don't say that, the needle in the sky is pretty good."
"Gu Ran, look, those needles flickering under the sun, don't they look like stars?" Fu Yiran pointed at the outside sky and shouted at Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou went to his side and frowned, glanced at Fu Yiran, and whispered, "Aren't you afraid?"
Fu Yiran blinked at him playfully, and said, "Fear, but I know there are at least two people here who can take me alive."
Gu Xizhou: "?"
"But I hope you take me out more than another person," Fu Yiran said.
Gu Xizhou: "What do you mean?"
Gu Xizhou looked at Fu Yiran, with some doubts. Did he hear that he had tortured the female ghost in the bathroom yesterday?
But Gu Xizhou asked again, Fu Yiran stopped talking, a pair of black eyes just looked at him with a slight smile, no longer answering Gu Xizhou's question, looking at the distant sky to himself.
Just when Si Yu was struggling with the meaning of the Buddha statue, Gu Xizhou said to Si Yu: "The current situation is that we must stand on black marble to break other marbles. Some marbles should have no faces under them. The problem now is How to determine which marbles have no faces under them! "
"Did you think of it?" Si Yu asked, lowering the plaque in his hand.
"Well ... I was thinking before going to bed yesterday," Gu Xizhou said. "The base makeup of the Buddha statues should not only limit those monsters, but also be a reminder. The number of Buddha statues varies for a reason."
Si Yu, who had originally thought down his head, glanced at Gu Xizhou side by side, seemingly casually saying, "I also think that those Buddha statues are the key reminders."
Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu and said, "... I just like to make an analogy. We treat each marble as a square grid. One of the square grids has a Buddha image on it. There is only one face in the grid next to the Buddha image. There are three faces. A statue of Buddha represents three faces around this grid with faces. "
"There are many buddha statues on the ground. They can confirm each other and help us determine the position of the face under the marble!"
"..." Si Yu glanced at him, "Minesweeper?"
Gu Xizhou heard this sentence, and hesitated for a moment. Yesterday, he and the female ghost made a long comparison before he figured out the purpose of the Buddha image. He spent nine powers and two tigers to figure out the rules. I dumped two words.
Gu Xizhou thought about his communication with the female ghost carefully. Si Yu's use of the word mine-sweeping was fine. He just said completely differently that it is mine-sweeping, "Yes."
The Buddha statue is a digital reminder in a minesweeping game. The face buried in the ground is a mine in the game. The only difference is that stepping on a mine will not gameover, but people who step on the mine will die, and all they have to do is dig out the mine. .
Si Yu glanced at the range of the black marble, and found the position of the teammates who disappeared yesterday. According to the position of the surrounding Buddha statues, this marble looks according to the rules of mine clearance. There is indeed 'Thunder' below.
"It is indeed possible," Si Yu said quietly after a while.
Seeing that Si Yu was a little hesitant, Gu Xizhou said, "I'm coming. You have to write down the positions. You say I'll do it."
There seemed to be hundreds of women crying at the same time in the shrine, and the tears kept flowing. Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu and asked, "Relax! We will go back."
Si Yu stared at him for a while, then looked out at the sky, and finally nodded reluctantly, his eyes fell on the statue of Buddha and marble for a moment, and said to Gu Xizhou, "I remember, let's start from here."
Si Yu pointed a piece of marble not far away from him and let Gu Xizhou stand up.
Gu Xizhou broke the first marble, nothing ... Si Yu's eyes were always on him, then Gu Xizhou broke the second marble, and Si Yu kept staring at Gu Xizhou's feet to make sure Gu Xizhou broke. After the second marble was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After Gu Xizhou smashed the third and fourth blocks one after another, Si Yu apparently lost his previous nervousness. He leaned against the wall that was crying and instructed quietly, but his sight did not leave Gu Xizhou.
Until Gu Xizhou smashed all the thunder, the cry on the wall came to an abrupt end.
Gu Xizhou looked up and saw that the surrounding wall was slowly infested with blood and water, and a blood-colored human figure appeared, just like when Liu Kai sat on the statue that day, the only difference was that these women neither laughed nor cried.
Faceless women left the wall, shuttled between the four, and walked to the broken brick in front of Gu Xizhou. One of the women buckled a face on the ground, and they passed each other until one of them had no face. The woman stopped when she got the face, spread it out on her hands, and covered her face with her hands.
It was a woman of ordinary appearance, it showed a contented smile, and then its body began to collapse and dissipate like weathered stones.
The last faceless woman, holding her face in her hand, walked towards Gu Xizhou with some hesitation, and seemed to be a little scared. Gu Xizhou recognized at a glance that this was the one beaten by him last night!
It stuck the face she just got to her face. Gu Xizhou saw a gentle and beautiful woman with a unique temperament on her body. She squinted her eyes and moved her mouth. Although there was no sound, Gu Xizhou vaguely guessed what the other party meant.
She was saying thank you.
With the disappearance of the last ‘it’, the entire hall was silent.
Standing outside, Fu Yiran grabbed the plaque on the ground. With the help of another companion, he put the plaque up. Fu Yiran jumped off the ladder and said, "Get it!"
"The people in this village are really perverted. Mosaic their faces on the ground and let thousands of people step on them." Fu Yiran sighed.
Another frowned and asked, "Why are they doing this?"
"Open the door and you'll know when you go in." Fu Yiran sneered, "historical waste."
Said Fu Yiran took a step towards Gu Xizhou and smiled at him, "See you next time."
Gu Xizhou: "..." Who wants to see you!
The man heard the words and said the same, and then did not hesitate. He wanted to leave for a long time. He thanked several people and pushed the door away. After Fu Yiran and Gu Xizhou talked, he didn't talk to Si Yu. , Smiled and walked into the door.
Gu Xizhou and Si Yu had to go back to find Liu Kai who was left in the house, so they did not immediately push the door to leave, they went back to pick Liu Kai.
"Don't worry, leaving the mission world, your eyes should be okay." Si Yu interrupted Liu Kai's thank you, and Gu Xizhou and Liu Kai were forced to enter the door, Si Yu made a request to Gu Xizhou. Gesture, "You first."
"Um." Gu Xi nodded and said, "See you outside."
Gu Xizhou opened the wooden door. As before, his consciousness soon became obscured--
It seems that at night, the woman was confined in a narrow and dark place. She saw a flare of light coming out through the paper-filled windows, which seemed to be a torch, because the light source was a bit erratic.
The woman felt extreme fear. She was asking for help. She wanted to escape from here, but no matter how she struggled, beat, and asked for help, people outside didn't seem to hear her voice. They didn't come to this side, but It goes further and further.
The woman buckled the wooden board with her fingernails hard, and caught a trace until the nail broke, and she bleed blood, she kept struggling, but the rope on her body trapped her.
This story doesn't seem logical. Gu Xizhou just feels that time seems to be fast-forwarded-
About the third day.
"Zheng Xianggong, I can't find your lady! Isn't she going to meet any bad guy?" A man frowning in an ancient fast-catching clothes asked.
The man called Zheng Xianggong hurriedly said, "Find it again, no, my lady ..."
"But I really can't find it. Zheng Xianggong, you have just been lifted now. The master of the palace has intentionally lifted you up, but the lady must not be small ..." Then the military officer pulled Zheng Xianggong aside, and then said, "No. Take this opportunity to marry the grandfather of the grandfather Fu as the first wife. "
"What are you talking about! It's humiliating!" Zheng Xianggong waved his hand, shook the house away, and said rightly.
Zheng Xianggong searched for a whole day and still couldn't find his own lady. He dragged his tired body to say goodbye to his relatives and friends. He closed the yard door, and there was a whisper of discussion from friends and relatives.
"Huh, that is, Zheng Xianggong is still willing to find the woman. The woman looks so pitiful and very hooked, I'm afraid she's not lost, but she ran away with that wild man?"
"No, then Zheng Liu's is so beautiful that he can't support him at first sight."
"I heard that Zheng Xianggong was attracted to Fu Qiang's grandfather. I wonder if it is true?"
"It's true. I heard a few friends talk about it last time, and the government has troubled Zheng Xianggong not to marry! But before this, Zheng Xianggong's family had Zheng Liu's family. Zheng Xianggong was upright and unwilling. Abandoned the chaff wife and refused. I think there is a turn for the better. "
Several people whispered as they walked. Zheng Xianggong listened for a while until he couldn't hear the argument, and then returned home. He returned to the house, walked into the room, took the heavy weight from the cabinet, and opened the house. Cabinet
Gu Xizhou's brain was sober at this time. The woman's body had no temperature. The soft body seemed to have become an ice cube. The top door of a man's cabinet, Gu Xizhou could see the man's appearance clearly.
The hand hurts, it hurts, Gu Xizhou looked down at the woman's hand. The blood on the woman's forefinger had solidified. She was so angry that she saw the light and thought she had lasted a long time, but when she could see the person who opened the cabinet When the woman burst into tears.
Suddenly there was no fear of death, no pain, and she could feel nothing.
Gu Xizhou saw a memory, a woman's memory—
In the yard, a beautiful and gentle woman is sitting on a small wooden bench, washing clothes diligently, she has a lot of clothes in front of her, but it does not seem to be her, because there are many gorgeous glamour clothes, which are not like women can wear of.
In the middle of the day, when the sun was the biggest, she was sitting there until the sunset when she finished washing the pile of clothes in front of her. Then the woman got up to feed the poultry at home. After finishing these hours, it was almost lunch time and she started cooking again. .
After the woman Wan Wan cooked well, she respectfully waited for the paralyzed mother-in-law to eat supper, and then carefully turned the old man to avoid the old man's bed sores.
The old man couldn't move, but she was sober. She looked at the woman and said, "Xiao Lian, how lucky is my family to marry a wife like yours! When he is in high school, you are Mrs. Guan!"
The woman called Xiaolian laughed shyly: "It is my blessing that officials can see me."
"You are such a good boy."
About two years later, the old man died of a disease.
...
As time progressed, Gu Xizhou heard the sound of gongs and drums, and Xiao Lian stood in front of the door, looking forward.
"Zheng Xianggong is in!"
Hearing only this sentence, Gu Xizhou felt the heartfelt joy of the woman, and the woman who didn't usually laugh at this time smiled like a flower.
This woman has always respected her husband, respected and cared for the elderly in the family, worked hard at housework, and read for her husband. She has never been abusive.
In her life there was only one heavy chore, besides being her husband who read books in the world.
...
However, at this moment, the woman is locked in such a cabinet, and it is the person she treats with all her heart.
"Xiao Lian, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ..." The man knelt in front of her and wept bitterly. "I really need the help of the senior man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ..."
"You forgive me, I beg you, sorry, you promised me to leave, as long as you pretend you are running away with others, I let you go, you nodded, OK." The man cried with a nose. tears.
The woman looked at him weakly and shook her head resolutely: she didn't look for a wild man, she didn't leave ... she could go and leave, but she didn't run!
While the man was crying, he never untied the woman's rope or fed anything to the woman. The woman was unwilling to agree to the man's request. On the fourth day, Gu Xizhou felt hungry. He knew that the woman was about to die.
The woman drew her last breath in a dark, small cabinet.
Because he really couldn't find a woman, Zheng Xianggong gave up. After a day of drinking, he pretended to be drunk and spit bitter water to his friends. He said that when Zheng Liu's disappeared, he lost a lot of belongings in his home, and the people around him looked different. The next day, as Zheng Xianggong thought, there was a rumor in the neighborhood that Zheng Liu's ran away with the wild man.
What he did fell into the eyes of other people, that is, a man who loves his wife deeply and wants to give his wife a chance to regret it. People around him all sighed. After Zheng Liu's disappearance for half a year, Zheng Xianggong married his wife Qianbujin and backgammon. Promotion, all the way to Kyoto.
Time seemed to be fast-forwarded again, and Gu Xizhou heard the quarrel.
Gu Xizhou suspected that he was still on Xiaolian. For decades, Xiaolian's body had dried up, but because of the special environment in which Zheng Xianggong's body was thrown, Xiaolian's body was rotten, not like Egypt. Like mummy.
There were two young people arguing outside. The two had a dispute over Xiao Lian's body, because the body was not weathered. They mistakenly thought that Xiao Lian was the one who had just died. The last two of them decided to report to the officer!
Zhixian, a government mansion, was a 40-year-old man. He saw Xiaolian's body and hesitated. After leaving the hall, he found Zheng Daxianggong, his uncle who had resigned from the office, and informed him about it.
"Uncle, I see that woman has a bracelet on her hand, it seems to be left by my grandma, exactly like my mother's."
Zheng Daxianggong was scared when he heard this sentence, and he didn't want to see it, but his wife said, "Go and see, isn't she!"
Finally, based on the bracelet, it was determined that this was ‘Little Lotus’ who had run away with a wild man, the husband ’s former wife.
Everyone around the world said that things are normal. If Xiaolian doesn't run, she is also Mrs. Guan, a rich and wealthy person.
"Zheng Xianggong generously unpacked and repaired the ancestral hall, we might as well inlaid the face of this unclean woman on the ground, burn the corpse, smear her ashes on the wall, and let herself see herself stepped on by thousands of people?"
"Yes, yes, I also warn those women who marry our Zhengjiacun to be virtuous, and follow three virtues."
Zheng Xianggong opened his mouth at this time, but the people around him filled with indignation at this time, and he could not say a word.
In this way, the woman's face was inlaid on the ground, and the ashes were burned and mixed in the mud and smeared on the wall. Since then, people have stepped on 10,000 people. With the passage of time, more and more women like this have been in the Zheng Family Temple.
At the beginning, only one woman was crying in the temple, and then two ...
"Why wrong me?"
"I just choose the person I like, what the words of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, I don't stop, I don't believe it!"
...
Gu Xizhou heard one whispered slang, and slowly they became more and more.
"Why do women rely on men?"
"I'm also a human. Why do you want to divide into three, six, nine, etc. You can have three wives and four widows, and I want to end with one."
"Why!"
When Gu Xizhou heard this sentence, a familiar voice sounded in the air. Countless chains were sliding at the same time, as if falling from the sky and hitting the ground heavily.
Gu Xizhou, a spirit, wants to take another look at the woman behind him, he has returned to reality.
Those women ...
Gu Xizhou sat idly on Si Yu's sofa, unable to let go.
After opening the door for a little while, he seemed to be on the wall all the time. He watched as women were taken into the shrine, saw those people pierce their faces with needles, peeled off their faces and put them on the ground. Above it was dirt, then marble ...
Those women.
Watching his face trampled.
They can only shed tears, they keep crying.
Gu Xizhou thought of the cries in the ancestral hall, the cry of the women, as if still in their ears.
"Do you want something to drink?" Si Yu patted Gu Xi's shoulder and smiled at him.
Gu Xizhou nodded, took two sips of warm coffee, and felt more comfortable. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After drinking two cups of coffee, Gu Xizhou felt a little urinary. He walked to the toilet and felt that there was something in his pants pocket.
A note?
He is sure and sure this is not his! When he entered the world, there was no note on his body, but he had handcuffs.
Gu Xizhou found a note with a wide index finger from his bag, and he unrolled the note with a line of words written on it--
‘6’ is for life, ‘1’ is for death, good luck.
