Chapter 19 Silence is the Biggest Lie
At 07:00 in the morning, a bright yellow sun climbed into the sky, bathing the small village where the river flows through in the warm sunshine.
April in the lunar calendar is the flowering period in midsummer. The backyard of He Mansion is abuzz with beauty. Soft dianthus bloom on both sides of the cobblestone path. The lotus flowers in the water tank are pink and white when they wake up. The petals bloomed with bright smiles, and the bright yellow stamens exuded a faint sweet fragrance.
Several graceful pomegranate trees stretched leisurely at the intersection. There were fiery red buds hidden in the green crowns. They looked like red pomegranates hanging all over the tree. The fallen flower bones fell on the There was a splashing sound in the small pond.
The water surface of the pond is broken and calm, reflecting a girl with long disheveled hair hurriedly walking past the shore. Her expression is eager and she looks like she is in a hurry.
Ye Miaozhu quickly ran under the pomegranate tree and once again confirmed the content on the phone screen. They were several text messages sent by the contact with the note 'Yunqing':
[I crawled out of the river . 】
【The river is so cold. 】
【Where are you? 】
【I want to meet you, come to me, I am...】
The reason why Ye Miaozhu came here was because of these text messages, like a fish caught by bait.
Even if Gu Yunqing died in front of her, even if as a medical student she could be absolutely sure that Gu Yunqing's heartbeat had stopped and his body had become hypothermic, when she saw that familiar name appear on the screen, Ye Miaozhu Still choose to irrationally believe in the possibility that a little bit is better than nothing.
Even if she knew that there was a ghost wandering in this village that could steal identities and pretend to be humans, she would still be willing to risk her life on the non-existent hope.
Emotional women are never unreasonable. This kind of creature is inherently inconsistent with the word "seeking truth from facts".
Ye Miaozhu walked quickly across the round stone path surrounded by carnation flowers, her flying clothes flew across the lotus flowers in the water tank. She walked hurriedly around the backyard and arrived at the main building of He Mansion. West Side, and then lowered his head again to confirm the message received on the phone.
Following the guidance of the information, Ye Miaozhu quickly found the unlocked warehouse. After taking a few deep breaths, she opened the door fearfully.
The airtight room had no lights on, and even the windows were sealed. Even during the day, it was dark. The early morning sunlight poured into the room from the opened door, slightly illuminating Ye Miaozhu's feet. .
She pushed the door open completely and asked tentatively: "Yun Qing? Are you in there!"
There was no response.
Ye Miaozhu took a few steps closer with some doubts and looked around in the sunshine.
This is a closed and dry warehouse. The floor made of bamboo sheets is raised off the ground to isolate moisture. There are several shelves placed against the wall in the room, with some of the girl's things on them:
A horse with wings crossed and a golden red loincloth
A horse A white jade bracelet contained in a brocade box has a touch of blood-red color
A pure blond hairpin in a sandalwood box, with a pair of parallel lotus carved at the end
A crown with complicated carvings The silver crown is carved with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix
A purple sandalwood dressing table is placed facing the door of the warehouse
A bronze mirror the size of a basin is inlaid on the dressing table, also facing the door
Several filled The camphor wood box containing the clothes exudes the aroma of camphor
This is most of the things in this warehouse.
Ye Miaozhu crossed his arms with a guilty conscience, and shouted tentatively: "Yunqing? Are you here! Is it you?"
At this time, a deep male voice came from the darkness.
“A few text messages deceived you?” A man in a suit and leather shoes walked out from behind the dressing table. The sun shone on his face. It was Zhang Yangxu: “I didn’t expect you. You are really stupid to this extent."
"Is it you?" Ye Miaozhu gritted his teeth with hatred. He looked down and saw that Zhang Yangxu was holding two mobile phones, one of which was his own. , one belongs to Gu Yunqing: "You used Yunqing's mobile phone to lie to me?!"
"Rather than being deceived, it is better to say that you are wishful thinking and believe that Gu Yunqing must still be alive." Zhang Yangxu shook his head and said: "Or do you want to believe it? As long as it is Gu Yunqing who speaks, you will believe it no matter what he says?"
Ye Miaozhu was furious: "I am willing to be deceived by him, you have nothing to do with it!"
< br>
Ah, yes, yes... After a while, Ye Miaozhu's anger subsided a little, and then he continued: "Tell me, what did you want to do by using Yunqing's mobile phone to trick me here."
< br>
Zhang Yangxu chuckled, raised his finger and pointed around, the shelves in the warehouse displaying the girl's belongings: "I want to tell you that I have I found a way to leave Hejiacun and return to the real world."
"You?" Ye Miaozhu showed a questioning expression: "If Ning Zhe and Yun Qing said this, I would still believe it, just forget it. "
"Believe it or not, I'm just telling you what I know." Zhang Yangxu said, walking to the shelf.
He gently held up a piece of red cloth embroidered with flying wings with one hand and said: "This is the material for making a girdle. It is a feudal custom in Qinzhou. When a girl gets married, she has to wear a very complicated dress. Her whole body looks... It is very bulky, so a piece of fabric needs to be wrapped around the waist to slim the waist and highlight the figure. This is called a girdle. "
But Hejiacun said.
“What do you want to say?” Ye Miaozhu’s expression became increasingly impatient.
Zhang Yangxu put down the cloth in his hand and continued with a smile: "Look at other things, bracelets, hairpins, silver crowns... all kinds of jewelry, these things are dowry .”
“Dowry?”
"Dowry." Zhang Yangxu nodded: "The owner of this house is getting married to his daughter. I heard from the servants in the house that Miss He is going to marry in another village, and the groom's team will come to pick her up tomorrow. "These things in the house are Miss He's dowry." "So what's the point?" Ye Miaozhu frowned.
"Miss He's getting married, haven't I made it clear enough?" Zhang Yangxu sighed helplessly: "Master He will also send some servants and maids to accompany his daughter. This group of people will set off tomorrow. As long as you find a way to sneak into them, you can leave Hejia Village with the wedding team." "Really? You can leave here by sneaking into the wedding team?" The doubts are even worse.
“Really.” Zhang Yangxu nodded and said, “You can leave Hejia Village by following the wedding team.”
"Is that so..." Ye Miaozhu's eyes dimmed, and she did not ask Zhang Yangxu where she got this information.
——If what Zhang Yangxu said is true, why didn’t he hide himself and wait to leave with the wedding team tomorrow? Why did he specially notify me?
This is what puzzles Ye Miaozhu the most.
The more she thought about it, the weirder the current situation became. If the text messages from Gu Yunqing’s cell phone made her lose her mind and become gullible and blind, then now that the lie was revealed, Ye Miaozhu finally calmed down. You can think about the current situation from a more rational perspective.
Looking at Zhang Yangxu’s gentle smile, an indescribable strange feeling couldn’t help but surge into my heart.
Ye Miaozhu couldn't help but asked again: "Are you sure? You can leave Hejiacun and return to the real world by following the wedding team?"
Zhang Yangxu nodded and said: "Yes, you can leave by following the wedding team. Hejiacun."
" You..." Ye Miaozhu suddenly thought of something, and a biting chill ran up her back from her tailbone: "I ask again, can I return to the real world by following the wedding procession? "
This? Once, Zhang Yangxu didn't answer her question.
He was still standing there, with an approachable and gentle smile on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said nothing.
Ye Miaozhu's fear came true.
At this moment, she suddenly recalled what Ning Zhe once said:
[The rules will silence people, but they will not lie. 】
"Answer me, Zhang Yangxu, why are you silent?" Ye Miaozhu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Or are you not Zhang Yangxu at all? You are a ghost!"< br>
