monster's bride

To be honest, few people nowadays decorate in such an ancient style.

The wallpaper inside was moldy. After walking a few steps, there was a small cubicle at the end. Lu Zhizhi was unfamiliar with it, "I have no impression."

"This is normal, because I was only born a year ago." Bai Ji smiled and said, "I saw you when your mother was pregnant."

Lu Zhizhi was stunned.

It took her a full minute to digest it before she understood what it meant on the surface.

Bai Ji's memory may have been preserved since he was an embryo.

Then the problem is coming.

Her mother hated Bai Ji's family very much. Whenever she found out that she had visited Bai Ji or Shi Yu after school late, she would become furious and threaten her with murderous rumors and forbid her to associate with them.

Any extreme dislike is not without reason. Her mother may have a lot to do with Bai Ji's father.

She walked a few steps inside and pushed open a small cubicle on the innermost floor. A cold wind blew in her face, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

A shrine glowed with faint red light and was placed in the center. There was a curtain in front of it, so the things inside could not be seen clearly.

"what is this?"

Lu Zhizhi felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. Through the thin bamboo curtain, she could see two swaying red candles in the bright light, with some fresh fruits enshrined underneath.

"It seems there are still people here to worship the gods." Bai Ji said warmly.

Lu Zhizhi couldn't help but ask him: "What god are you worshiping?"

He stared at her with a smile, his eyes filled with a trace of strange intrigue, "You made a mistake and was abandoned by the god. Because you worshiped such a bad god to ensure that the family had good weather and plenty of gold and jade, you incurred such an evil curse."

"So, is it okay to destroy it?"

Based on his words alone, Lu Zhizhi pointed to the shrine, "Burn it with fire and it will be gone."

Bai Ji said indulgently: "You can try to see if it works."

Just when her hand was about to touch the shrine, Lu Zhizhi thought of something and stopped, turned around and asked him: "If you are all troubled by the curse, and it is the source, if it is destroyed, will you die? ?”

Bai Ji thought about this problem seriously and walked to her side, "If it is really removed, I don't know what my ending will be like. After all, I have died too many times, but I have never succeeded."

Lu Zhizhi, who was considering whether to take action because he was not sure whether he would die, finally withdrew from the shrine.

On the one hand, she thought that such important and evil things would not just be kept in such a dilapidated and unattended house.

On the other hand, she was not yet prepared that Bai Ji would really die due to the removal of the curse.

"never mind."

Lu Zhizhi walked outside and said, "I just don't know who put down this shrine here and still keeps worshiping it."

"jingle."

The wind chimes on the eaves were blown by the wind and jingled like crazy. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like it was going to rain.

There was a lot of moss on the ground, so Bai Ji helped Lu Zhizhi, "Then let's go back."

Not far from the dark mansion, a blind woman wearing black sunglasses and holding a long pole walked out.

When she passed by the two of them, the woman suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Bai Ji's back with empty eyes. She staggered into the Bai family's old house and pushed open the small cubicle. The shrine inside had already been tilted to one side and a raging fire was burning. In the fire, sharp fox jeering could be heard endlessly.

She covered her ears and knelt down in pain.

The shrine specially invited to suppress evil spirits was easily destroyed by the returning curse.

Lu Zhizhi noticed that Fan Xiao at the dinner table today was extraordinarily quiet and obedient, not even making eye contact with her or Bai Ji, and even the hand holding the chopsticks was trembling.

Hu Shulan didn't say that the two of them went out in the morning. Fan Xiao seemed to be possessed and said that there was a ball of hair growing in his stomach, and it was Bai Ji who turned into a spider and crawled on the wall and forcibly fed him.

They took Fan Xiao to the town hospital for a gastroscopy. The results showed that everything was normal and there was nothing wrong with him.

After the meal, the second elder gave Fan Xiao money and asked him to go find his classmates to relax. Hu Shulan offered to take Lu Zhizhi to buy some new clothes for the New Year.

"Mom has never taken the initiative to buy you anything. Although the things here are not as good as those in Beijing, I also want to fulfill my mother's responsibility. Let's go to the mall for a walk."

She took Lu Zhizhi alone to look at new clothes in a better shopping mall. She took the initiative to help her unzip her down jacket and gave her a scarf. Her loving smile made many fine lines appear at the corners of her eyes.

"I never thought that genes like your father's could give me a face as beautiful as Zhizhi."

Lu Zhizhi actually had a good impression of her father. After all, he would buy lollipops for herself, occasionally lift her up, and teach her homework. Most of the emotional value she could not get from her mother was provided by her father.

So for my mother's already vague memories, my father's memories are more clear.

She looked at herself in the mirror and tried to imagine her father's face.

But I haven’t seen him for so long that my father’s face is covered with a layer of blur in all memories.

"I'm going to see him when I come back this time. The cemetery should still be at its original location."

Hu Shulan's smile stiffened for a moment, "Yes, I haven't visited him in a long time."

"Mom didn't look down on dad before." Lu Zhizhi said lightly.

Hu Shulan took off her down jacket and changed the topic, "This one looks great on you. How much does it cost?"

The waiter next to him smiled and replied: "This is pure goose down, and it costs 2,500 yuan after discount."

Hu Shulan's meat hurt when she heard the price. Looking at the inexplicable smile on Lu Zhizhi's lips, she felt cruel and said, "If my daughter likes it, buy it and wrap it up."

Seeing that she actually went to pay, Lu Zhizhi was a little surprised.

Holding a large bag of clothes heavy in her hands, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

Hu Shulan hugged her arm and said, "If you want anything else, mom will buy it for you."

Under her sugar-coated bombardment, Lu Zhizhi's mood seemed to have softened a lot. At least he did not resist physical contact with her. When he met an acquaintance and asked about their relationship, Hu Shulan wildly showed off that she had a daughter who was a teacher in a prestigious school in Beijing. Zhizhi didn’t refute.

However, after all, gambling debts cannot be extended for too many days.

Get up early on New Year's Day.

Lu Zhizhi woke up Bai Ji and told him that he was going to the mountains.

The two went to the store to buy some paper ingots and candles. She followed the route in her memory and came to the foot of a mountain.

When Hu Shulan's husband died, she didn't have much of a farewell party. She just collected money from a wave of relatives, found a piece of land in the mountains, built some cement, and buried her.
