Deserted Village Apartments

Chapter 6 The third day

In the morning, I received an email reply from that mysterious person——

Hello there:

You are a little smarter than I thought.

"Two little kids playing hide and seek in a big house"?Your analogy is interesting, but not quite accurate.More precisely, a cat and a mouse playing hide and seek in a big house.I am the cat and you are the mouse.

Well, I said that there are many mistakes in your novel, and now I think of some.For example, the three ancient stories about Yanzhi—in the first story, you said that Yanzhi’s husband, Ouyang An, left the deserted village because of the war.In fact, this is not the case, but because the barren village was attacked by Japanese pirates, Ouyang An was taken captive to sea by bandits.From then on, Rouge could only stay in the vacant room and wait for her husband's return.A few years later, people discovered a pirate ship of Japanese pirates floating on the sea. All the people on board had died and turned into bones. This is what people usually call a "ghost ship".They are the group of pirates who looted the deserted village. The written records on the ship show that shortly after the pirates left the deserted village by boat, these pirates died one by one, and finally there was only one person left, that is their captive Ouyang An.However, Ouyang An's bones and clothes were not found on board, and he disappeared on this ghost ship like a mystery.

In the second story, you said that the ghosts of Rouge and Ouyang An met on the night of Double Ninth Festival and gave birth to a son.You are wrong, Yanzhi found a drowned man by the sea in the third year after she separated from her husband. It turned out to be her husband Ouyang An.Rouge brought her husband's body back home, and every night she daubed her own blood on her husband's lips, finally bringing him back to life.However, everyone thought that Ouyang An was dead, so he could only hide quietly, like a ghost husband, and later gave birth to a boy with Yan Zhi.

The third story, you say, is an epitaph dug out of a grave.Do you know the ending of those tomb robbers?They took the cultural relics they stole from the tomb, and boarded a bus to leave Zhejiang. As a result, a car accident happened when they were leaving the province. Only the three tomb robbers all died unexpectedly.

You must be very surprised to hear so many stories from me, right?

However, you don't realize that you have made mistakes long ago. You should never have written the novel "Desolate Village", let alone let this novel be published in a magazine to let so many people know about the desolate village. exist.You will definitely ask me why, unfortunately I don't know why.In short, neither you nor I can imagine the consequences of this novel.

If you must ask me to leave a signature, my signature is——

Nie Xiaoqian

Nie Xiaoqian?I suddenly smirked, why did the beautiful ghost in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" come out and send me an email?Also, why do I always feel that the three stories she (he) told are more like novels than my "Desolate Village"?

Probably she (he) is also making up stories with me. I once posted a post on the Internet, talking about the three ancient stories of the barren village——

Are the things we see and hear in the world real or virtual?How many "mirror images" will the same thing appear in different people's mouths?The stories we hear are not the entities of things, but the images reflected in mirrors. Different mirrors may reflect different images.For example, the letters we see in the mirror are all reversed. If the letters of the entity are originally reversed, then the positive ones will appear in the mirror instead. Will we think that what we see is the entity?In this way, the entity and the mirror image become blurred, and none of us can distinguish clearly.I mentioned three different versions of the story, each of which is closely related to the speaker—of course, the last version is the epitaph of the dead—although I said in the novel that "the dead do not lie. ", but as long as we think about it more deeply, can't the dead really not tell lies?At this point we find that there may be a fourth, fifth, or even N versions of the story, and those of us who read the story are like standing in a labyrinth full of countless mirrors (mirror images), Standing in front of each individual mirror, we think what we see is real, but if we see all the mirrors - maybe we will go crazy.

Perhaps, there will be more bizarre versions appear.However, now I am more and more interested in this person who calls himself "Nie Xiaoqian".

I immediately replied to her (him) with an EMAIL——

Nie Xiaoqian:
Even though I call you that, I don't believe that you ran out of Lanruo Temple. You must know that I am not Ning Caichen, but Yan Chixia who slays demons.

In addition, I have no objection when you say that the cat catches the mouse, but why must you be the cat and I be the mouse?I think it should be the other way around.

I hope you are just making up stories, or writing a novel, if so, I think I can support you.However, if you try to scare me again, I will add your EMAIL to the rejection address.

You can come back or not.

After sending this EMAIL, I feel a little more relaxed than the previous few days. You must know that I don't usually talk like this.

"Nie Xiaoqian?"

I suddenly laughed softly.
