Strange Tales of the Ghosts

Mask Country (Seventeen)

Chen Dandan put down the money and left. Nanliu looked at a few red RMB on the table and put the money into her pocket. She didn't want to accept the money, but wanted to take it and return it to Chen Dandan. After dinner, Nan Liu went to Chen Dandan's dormitory, but Chen Dandan was not there, so Nan Liu had to come back. After reading for a while, it was time for class. After the afternoon class, it was time for dinner. When Nan Liu came from Chen Dandan passed by the door of dormitory, but Chen Dandan was not found. When she wanted to go back to her dormitory, the housekeeper's aunt downstairs suddenly shouted loudly: "Nanliu from dormitory 503! Your phone number!"

my phone? Nanliu didn't know anyone in school. In the past, no one would call him except his parents. So Nanliu ran downstairs anxiously, said thank you to the housekeeper's aunt, and picked up the phone. Telephone.

"Hello…"

"Let's have dinner tonight, don't forget, I'll pick you up later." Jiang Yu's voice was on the other end of the phone.

Nanliu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it was Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu's voice sounded very nice on the phone. Nanliu almost fainted. At this moment, Nanliu saw Chen Dandan and hurriedly hung up. The call was disconnected.

"Chen Dandan..."

Chen Dandan turned around and saw Nan Liu, stopped, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Just as Nanliu was about to take out the money, the housekeeper's aunt shouted again.

"Nanliu, your phone number!"

"Oh, here we come." Nanliu frowned. This call from Jiang Yu was really untimely, and she had to answer it. If Chen Dandan knew it was Jiang Yu, she would definitely be even more angry, so she shouted at Chen Dandan He said softly: "It's okay, I'll find you later."

"Huh?" Chen Dandan was confused. She didn't have much interaction with Nanliu, so she turned around and left.

Nanliu ran to the phone and picked up the phone. When he wanted to reject Jiang Yu, he heard the voice of a middle-aged aunt on the other end of the phone.

"Is it Nanliu?"

"I am...you are..." Nanliu felt that the voice seemed familiar.

The other end of the phone said immediately: "Nanliu, I'm the second aunt. Come home quickly. Something happened to your parents."

"What?!" Nan Liu panicked when he heard this. "Second Aunt, what happened to my parents?"

"When your father was carrying your mother to see a doctor in the morning, he was hit by a passing truck. The driver drove away. Now your parents are in the hospital. They may not be able to survive. Come here quickly."

"I...will be here soon, Second Aunt, which hospital are my parents in?"

"Who else could it be? The one in the village."

"Ah..." Hearing that it was the hospital in the village, Nanliu's heart suddenly went cold. How could that small clinic cure serious illnesses, let alone being hit by a car? After hanging up the phone, Nanliu ran for five minutes in one breath. After getting some clothes, I ran downstairs. It takes a day to get from school to home by train. Nanliu can't pay back to Chen Dandan for the time being because she needs it. The few hundred yuan can just be enough to ride home. The sadness and anxiety along the way are gone when Nanliu returns. After arriving in the village, I found a white lantern hung in front of my house.

"No... no... dad... mom!" Nanliu ran into the house, only to see two coffins covered with white cloth. The second aunt and fourth uncle were crying like they were crying, crawling in front of the coffin. She cried out to heaven and earth, but Nanliu didn't believe it. She didn't believe that her parents were gone all at once, so she walked to the coffin, opened the white cloth, and pulled off the white paper cover covering the door panel. This was the poor man's coffin... there Inside lay his father and mother with bleeding nostrils and closed eyes.

"Dad! Mom!" Nanliu's tears burst out all of a sudden. She had nothing left. The person who loved her most in the world was gone. Why? She was asking in her heart why God was so cruel. It didn't matter if she didn't have money. She would earn it slowly in the future, but why did she want this poor family to collapse all of a sudden? ? Nanliu's cries were mixed with other mourners. Nanliu kept throwing himself at his parents. The second aunt and others pulled Nanliu while crying and persuading: "My child, you can't be like this, you can't let your parents go." I feel uneasy. If you shed tears on them, they will leave uneasy..."

"No!" Nan Liu struggled. The parents lying there were still young, only in their forties. Why? Why let a ruthless car accident take them away? Crying and crying, the pain in her heart tortured every nerve of Nanliu, until she slowly calmed down, and besides shedding tears, she was burning the paper. Kneeling next to the brazier in front of the coffin, Nanliu tore off the paper sheets one by one. She didn't know if her parents could hear her, but she still said: "Dad...Mom...don't worry, Nanliu will definitely I will take good care of this family... I will definitely take care of myself..." In fact, who else but Nanliu would be in a home without his parents? She was the only one, and no matter how powerful her relatives were, she didn't have much contact with her on weekdays. As for what her powerful relatives said about claiming compensation from the driver who caused the accident, Nan Liu was very indifferent. So what if she was caught? Should the driver go to jail or pay money? Are these useful? If it could be avoided, it wouldn't happen. Now the money and apology can't make up for the departure of Nanliu's parents. Her heart aches so much.

The funeral took three days. On the third day, Nanliu's parents were prepared to be buried under the auspices of relatives. Nanliu held his parents' spiritual tablets and walked at the front dressed in mourning. The procession progressed with gongs and drums. , she suddenly wanted to know whether some of the mourning relatives were sincere or just pretending. Just as she was about to leave the village, a car stopped in front of Nanliu. What Nanliu never expected was that the person who got out of the car was actually Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu saw Nanliu at a glance, walked over, and asked softly: "Do you need my help?"

"..." Nan Liu looked up at Jiang Yu, who was a head taller than her. She didn't know why he came or how he found this place, but she was really moved and moved to tears. "You can come, I've

Thank you very much. "

"Then...I'll go to the end and see off my uncle and aunt." Jiang Yu pointed to the end of the funeral procession.

Nanliu nodded, and the group of people walked through the mountain paths and came to a small hill. Nanliu heard from his second aunt that his parents had visited here before they were alive, and said that the feng shui of this hilltop was good, and they could see far and wide. They went to the city where their daughter was studying, so they planned to bury Nanliu's parents here. Nanliu shed tears when she thought of that scene. Her poor parents loved her so much. Even if God didn't give them many good days, why couldn't they be allowed to stay in this world longer? It would be a blessing to be able to watch her graduate! However, a truck ended everything and the family's happiness. Nanliu suddenly felt very hateful. She hated why there were such drivers and people in this society. If only there could be more kindness in everyone's heart, there would be more Some responsibilities, then will her parents die?

No matter what Nanliu thought, it could not change the fact that his parents died. Soon, there were two more hills on the hillside. The tombstones were carved by Uncle Si, who asked people from the village. He spent several hundred yuan and still owed Well, these are the debts that Nanliu will have to repay in the future. This is the countryside. Such things still exist in rural areas after decades of reform and opening up. Whenever Nanliu sees the prosperity on TV, she wonders if God has forgotten them.

After the burial, the second aunt and fourth uncle took other relatives and neighbors home for dinner. Nanliu insisted on staying at the cemetery to accompany his parents, and Jiang Yu also stayed. Nanliu cried sadly, and Jiang Yu Passing the tissues over one by one, Jiang Yu hugged Nan Liu's shoulders when Nan Liu cried until he almost fainted.

"Nanliu, I'm sorry. Even though I rushed here as soon as I knew something happened at your home, I was still late."

"..." Nanliu shook his head in Jiang Yu's arms and answered with tears: "Thank you, I'm very grateful that you can come."

"Don't say thank you to me. I will only feel ashamed. It was me who failed to protect you. Because of my negligence, you were bullied by Chen Dandan. Because I was not around, you came back to face all this alone..."

"Jiang Yu..." Nan Liu raised his head and looked at Jiang Yu with red and swollen eyes. "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why do you like me?"

"You don't need too many reasons to like someone. You just like it. This is not something that can be added or subtracted by learning mathematics. It's natural. I just like you. I really mean it." Jiang Yu looked at Nanliu sincerely. He looked into the distance again. "Do you still remember the day I asked you to have dinner? Actually, it wasn't me who asked you, it was my parents. I told them that I like you and they wanted to meet you. I don't know what to say. I knew before that You may not believe me and think that I am a very superficial person who will not take you seriously, so I told my parents that I like you. I hope you can understand that I am serious and I really like you. , Nanliu." Jiang Yu bit his lips and said this.

What else doesn’t Nanliu believe? Tears flowed down. If Jiang Yu didn't like her, she wouldn't have come all the way, but she couldn't say a word. At this moment, Jiang Yu thought Nan Liu still didn't believe her, so he simply knelt down with a plop. He visited the graves of Nanliu’s parents.

"Uncle, aunt, please bear witness. I, Jiang Yu, really like your daughter Nanliu. In this life, I only like her and will never like other women. If one day, I violate myself Please let me go to the ground to explain my oath to you clearly." After saying that, Jiang Yu kowtowed twice.

Nanliu's heart was completely softened by Jiang Yu. She also liked Jiang Yu. She wanted to wait until later, but the death of Nanliu's parents changed Nanliu's decision. Now Nanliu only wants to rely on Jiang Yu in this world. , there was no other candidate, so she agreed to Jiang Yu's relationship at her parents' grave, and also promised that in the future, she said, no matter what happened in the future, she would not regret it.
