第46章 埃尔德里奇港的呼唤
在该地区的史册中，有一段时间，埃尔德里奇避风港编年史的第一章展开，标志着一个黑暗和不祥的故事的开始。正是在一年中的第7个月，在阿卡姆镇，着名的神秘学者伊芙琳·布莱克伍德博士收到了一封特殊的信件，这封信将改变她的人生轨迹。
这封信写在陈旧的羊皮纸上，上面有一个复杂的符号，讲述了超凡脱俗的起源。它的到来笼罩在神秘之中，由一个不知名的信使在夜色的掩护下送达。布莱克伍德博士以对禁忌知识的贪得无厌而闻名，她认识到了这个神秘信息的重要性。
这封信的内容简短而有力，敦促布莱克伍德博士踏上危险的旅程，前往一个被称为埃尔德里奇港的地方。这封信谈到了一种古老的联系，一种宇宙维度的融合，凡人领域和精灵领域之间的面纱变得很薄。它低声说着潜伏在这个被遗忘的领域深处的难以想象的秘密和无尽的恐怖。
在永不满足的好奇心和解开宇宙奥秘的不屈不挠的渴望的驱使下，布莱克伍德博士听从了这一呼吁。她收集了她的研究笔记，保护了她的物品，并为她的未知之旅做了必要的准备。
当黎明的第一缕曙光从地平线上冲破时，布莱克伍德博士从阿卡姆出发，伴随着她知识的重量和她内心燃烧的决心。她冒险进入未驯服的荒野，在信中嵌入的神秘线索的引导下。
几天变成了几周，几周变成了几个月，因为布莱克伍德博士穿越了危险的地形，并在她的道路上遇到了无数障碍。她遇到了贪婪的野兽，它们的形态被弥漫在大地上的精灵能量扭曲和腐蚀。然而，她没有气馁，继续前进，她的决心没有被打破。
最后，经过漫长而艰苦的旅程，布莱克伍德博士到达了埃尔德里奇港的郊区。空气似乎带着超凡脱俗的能量嗡嗡作响，让她的脊背发抖。她面前的风景是扭曲的挂毯，粗糙的树木，扭曲的岩层，以及永远投射在令人毛骨悚然的暮色中的天空。
每走一步，现实之间的面纱就越来越薄，布莱克伍德博士能感觉到精灵力量压在她意识上的重量。经过多年的学习和奉献，她的思想得到了加强，能够抵御即将到来的冲击。
正是在这片荒凉的土地上，布莱克伍德博士遇到了文森特·辛克莱，他是一位经验丰富的超自然现象调查员，花了数年时间研究埃尔德里奇港的秘密。他们的相遇绝非巧合，因为辛克莱被吸引到布莱克伍德博士的同一知识纽带中。
他们的联盟是出于必要，因为摆在面前的挑战需要团结和分享知识。他们一起深入艾尔德里奇避风港，在危险的道路上航行，并遇到了藐视凡人理解的精灵憎恶。
随着这一章接近尾声，布莱克伍德博士和文森特·辛克莱发现自己处于一个伟大启示的悬崖边上。他们的旅程将他们带到了一个被遗忘的图书馆的门槛，古老的大部头在那里低声讲述着早已消失在时间中的秘密。这些文字刻有精灵符号和神秘语言，是解开等待他们的谜团的钥匙。
每翻一页，布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱尔就会更深入地研究他们掌握的禁忌知识。大部头中的文字谈到了宇宙的恐怖和古老的预言，谈到了凡人的存在和超越的精灵领域之间的微妙平衡。
他们的思想随着每一次启示而扩展，他们对宇宙的理解也永远改变了。然而，即使他们洞察了深不可测的事物，埃尔德里奇港的黑暗也威胁着要吞噬他们。精灵能量的脉动强度使他们的理智紧张，让他们在疯狂的悬崖上摇摇欲坠。
因此，《埃尔德里奇避风港编年史》的第一章结束了，让读者对等待伊夫林·布莱克伍德博士和文森特·辛克莱的挑战有一种期待和不祥的理解。他们进入埃尔德里奇港中心的旅程才刚刚开始，摆在面前的谜团将考验他们的决心，并解开他们存在的结构。
（第1卷，第1章-“埃尔德里奇港的呼唤”-当地编年史）第2章 疯狂的低语——地方编年史
在埃尔德里奇避风港的编年史中，埃尔德里奇避风港编年史的第二章展开，深入探讨了凡人无法理解的神秘领域。正是在第9个月的黄昏中，伊芙琳·布莱克伍德博士和文森特·辛克莱发现自己沉浸在这片被遗弃的土地的黑暗秘密中。
在穿越危险的风景并克服了无数危险之后，布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱尔到达了埃尔德里奇避风港的中心，他们渴望揭开潜伏在其中的奥秘。他们站在一座破旧的图书馆前，风化的外观证明了时间的流逝。
在图书馆神圣的大厅里，他们发现书架上摆满了古老的大部头，书页泛黄而脆弱。每本书上都有用早已被遗忘的语言书写的铭文，这些符号讲述了很久以前的精灵知识。
布莱克伍德博士，她的眼睛闪烁着热切的决心，从书架上精心挑选了一本书。当她打开这本书时，这本书噼里啪啦地响了起来，揭示了一个被禁止的秘密的世界。它的页面低声讲述了宇宙恐怖的故事，以及凡人存在和精灵领域之间的微妙平衡。
在他们对理解的永不满足的渴望的引导下，布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱破译了神秘的段落，拼凑出一个更伟大真理的碎片。他们深入研究了神秘仪式的深处，揭示了古代咒语和召唤精灵实体背后的隐藏含义。
随着时间变成几天，从几天变成几周，二人沉浸在埃尔德里奇避风港的传说中。疯狂的低语开始渗入他们的意识，嘈杂的声音在理界的边缘跳舞。弥漫在空气中的精灵能量越来越明显，它们的存在以越来越强烈的强度压在他们的脑海中。
在埃尔德里奇避风港编年史中,第2章接近尾声时,伊芙琳·布莱克伍德博士和文森特·辛克莱已经深入研究图书馆中的禁忌知识数周。随着时间的推移,精灵力量对他们的影响也越来越强。
一天黄昏,当二人再次 sunk into a large tome of eldritch lore时,他们突然觉察到空气中的能量变得非比寻常地浓稠而腐蚀性。周围环境似乎也开始扭曲变形,书架上的书籍直起身子,悬壁上的镜子开始流淌。
布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱感应到某种强大的精灵实体正在召唤,它正试图从精灵域吸引自身走捷径进入凡人世界。二人知道如果不加以抑制,这股能量很可能会彻底裂开两个世界的边界,导致无法预料的后果。
他们迅速翻找书架,寻找可以封印实体的方法。在最后一刻,布莱克伍德博士找到了一本极其陈旧的手抄本,上面记载了一个古老的封印法术。她和辛克莱联手念出咒文,向实体投掷能量。
空气中的扭曲感达到顶点,随后一声巨响,所有异常立刻消失。二人松了一口气,知道暂时躲过一劫。但他们也意识到,这里的力量远超凡人能控制的范畴。如果无法找到真正的解决之道,下一次引发的危机很可能......
此时,远处传来脚步声。二人意识到也许有其他力量也在这个地方活动。他们悄悄地穿过书架,发现有两个身影走进图书馆。其中一个人说道:\看,我们来对了。这里的确藏有他们想要的秘密。\
布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱对视一眼,心知不是简单的游人,必然与这里的记忆有些联系。他们决定尾随这对来客,寻找线索。谁知来客并非寻常,竟也能看透二人的行踪......
在图书馆深处,布莱克伍德博士和文森特?辛克莱谨慎地尾随着那两名神秘来客。随着他们越深入,周围空气中弥漫着的精灵能量也越来越浓烈。
二人感应到,这对来客似乎能够自如地操控周围的能量,他们的脚步声在扭曲的通道中回荡 yet 并未使周遭环境产生任何破坏。布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱对此暗自惊讶,但他们也意识到这或许能给自己带来某些线索。
终于,那对来客停在一扇破旧的大门前。这里的精灵能量已经让周围空间开始崩坏,但来客似乎完全不受影响。他们交换了一下眼色,然后推开了门。
这一刻,周遭的能量骤然爆发。重重的精灵屏障应声而起,把布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱隔绝在外。他们惊呼出声,试图寻找突破的方法,但一切的力量似乎都无法企及那扇门背后的秘密。
就在绝望之际,那对来客忽然转身看向他们。其中一个开口说道:\看来诸神也意外地眷顾了你们。来吧,跟我们一起进入这黑暗复杂的王国吧。\说着伸出了手....
他们是否应该相信这对神秘人物?通过他们,又将面对什么更深层的秘密?布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱内心充满了疑惑和忐忑,但他们也明白,如果不冒险一试,也许将错失整个事件背后的真相.......
布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱对视一眼,在隐隐的不安与探求真相的渴望中做出了选择。他们轻声说道:\请引领吧。\
伸出的手缓缓包裹在精灵能量中,带着二人穿越了屏障。进入后,眼前的景象令人震撼——一座圆顶形式的大殿布满古老的银光镂纹,空气中弥漫着时间的凝重。
\这里即是埃尔德里奇避风港的真正内部,\那人说,\你们已见证了它隐藏在表象后的全部。\
布莱克伍德博士深感此地真实的威能,但她察觉对方语焉不详,遂又问到:\那么你们又是谁?何以能自如地访于此?\
男人微微一笑:\我们曾是精灵统治者的部下,但随同王国的沉沦也失去了原身。如今只能化作存在于边缘的影子,窥视着它往事残骸中最后的秘密。\
布莱克伍德知晓,这对男女定是此地最好的向导。她求知心切地说:\若有机会,能否请你们指点我们更深入地揭开这些奥秘?\
随着微笑,他们引领二人游历起这无以名状的遗迹,诉说着曾经辉煌的辉煌与风雨......
在那对神秘人的带领下,布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱深入游历着埃尔德里奇避风港内部的每一个角落。这里并不像表面上的废墟,而是一个保留了过去无数年内的艺术杰作和魔法制品。
他们游历到金光灿烂的大厅,见识到闪现在壁画中的精灵统治者在人界与精灵界互通无阻的骄人年代。来到幽秘的地牢,感受到前尘往事里曾有多少命运悲壮。又来到高塔顶端,俯瞰这片地域已经完全变样的景致。
在数以日计算的游历中,那对神秘人用悠远而匀润的声音向他们讲述着这里无尽的往事。慢慢地,埃尔德里奇避风港的真正生成、 it的辉煌与衰亡故事渐渐浮现。
这些信息对布莱克伍德博士和辛克莱而言,无疑揭开了更多未知的奥秘面纱。但同时他们也隐约意识到,作为一个在时光中逐渐消失的王国,这里将面临最后的审判时刻........
在一次深入地下室的探索中,他们发现一个巨大法阵被镌刻在墙壁上。神秘人的声音变得严肃:\这就是它们最后宣告的证据。最终的力量将很快降临,而我们的时代也将真正终结。\
布莱克伍德博士一边惊诧于光阴的流逝,一边更加渴望找到答案:埃尔德里奇避风港的最终命运到底是......?
布莱克伍德博士已被埃尔德里奇避风港的神秘深深吸引。她对神秘人命运的疑惑也日渐 towering,遂提出一个问题:
\如果说,这里将受最后的审判,那么你们又会有何去向?是否存在可以挽回,或是阻止它的办法?\
神秘人望向法阵,淡淡地说:\我们虽已成了这片领域里光驱散的影子,但仍在搜寻可以扭转颓势的破绽。传说这里曾有一本是非之书,内藏确切的预兆及对策......\
\如果真有此书,一定藏于何处?\布莱克伍德追问。神秘人叹道:\我们也不知确切地点,只能朦胧感应它还残留在此地某处。如果能寻得,或许王国才有最后希望....\
此时辛克莱忽地喊道:\Look!\所有人一同望去,一束幽幽光芒从远处传来!见此异象,众人相随奔往光亮处。
穿过千回万转的通道后,是一个落满尘埃的隐秘空间。在中央,一本书被光芒环绕,封面上有一行encrypted文字在发光......
终于,他们找到了传说中的关键之书!但它真将带来救赎,亦或只是引向更深层地狱?答案尚需揭开它......
布莱克伍德博士等人都被尘封许久的神秘书籍深深吸引。辛克莱鼓起勇气,伸手试图触摸书皮,却被一股力量弹飞出去。
“小心,它的防御机制似乎还存续...”神秘人嘀咕道。布莱克伍德想出主意:“我们还是以彼此的才能配合,共同试图打开它为好。”
于是,四人结合各自的知识,合力试图对抗书中的力量。布莱克伍德以智慧设下法阵,辛克莱以力量助之,神秘人以魔法引导。良久,书皮上流过一道光,有如认出主人复归。
它应声而开。在黄尘弥漫中,他们逐渐看清内里的文字:速记般敍述着埃尔德里奇避风港各种秘闻札记,甚至有些比神秘人更为详细!
翻阅间,布莱克伍德找到关键词汇——“失落之地,唯有重回才得复兴”。这似乎意味深长。众人对视一眼,都明白下一步该往何处而行......
在帮助下,二位神秘人也重获实体。所有人驱车前往失落之地遗迹进行探索。途中,布莱克伍德展开书中线索,与众人讨论解密之策。夜幕降临时,他们的心中燃起一线希望......
第二天黎明,一行人抵达书中记载的位置。此地已经成为一片茂盛丛林,却能隐约摸索出遗迹轮廓。四下搜寻后,辛克莱在密处发现一块破碎石碑。
摩挲石面,上头锦绣似的文字让神秘人欣喜道:“这就是入口所在!”他念出咒语,地下隧道焕发出幽蓝光芒。布莱克伍德心潮起伏,领众进入未知。
隧道延伸数里,尽头是一座巨大石室。眼前琳琅满目的金银器皿让人眼花缭乱,而最中心屹立一 objet d'art发出莹莹光芒。四人仔细查看,竟发现它图腾中心沉寂多时的灵魂,正苏醒于世。
“这就是王国之心,你们复兴了它。”神秘人肃然道。布莱克伍德豁然个中,这正是书中所指之“重回”!她和辛克莱互相一笑,对访问此地殊不虚行。
当四人联手唤醒图腾时,一股强大的精灵力量回荡在遗迹各处。在它的感召下,埃尔德里奇避风港的废墟也逐渐重现辉煌。当晚,一行人乘坐由神秘人驾航的高尚马车,返回重建后的王国......布莱克伍德博士等人以为一切难题已经解决,埃尔德里奇避风港重生了。谁知车程中,神秘人脸色陡变:\什么东西来了!\
马蹄声骤停,四下顿时鸦雀无声。当他们注意观察时,天空中似乎有一个巨大漆黑的影子已漂浮而来。那影子遮蔽星月,弥漫着一股腐败而邪恶的气息。
就在这时,遥远的北方天际线上出现了尖锐的色彩。那是一片充满令人毛骨悚然的异域地貌,山峰如尖锥扎入黑夜,河流似狭长的血肉。这片土地不应存在于人界之中......
随即传来从黑影中传出的低吟:“身为王者,我久已窥视此地......现在它必属于我!”它张开成千上万只腐朽的翅膀,遮蔽天空。
神秘人惨叫一声消失不见,辛克莱也被黑影攫取。布莱克伍德粲然一笑:“原来它才是真正的王......埃尔德里奇避风港,你将归它所有!”
然后,无边黑暗吞没一切......
the Sakurajima disaster subsided, the dark clouds disappeared, the lightning disappeared, the sky became as clean as if it had been washed, and only the devastated land remained, telling the people that the recent apocalyptic catastrophe was no phantom.
Although the people of momoki city were saved, their hearts were still unable to rid their hearts of this horrifying and abominable shadow, especially when they came out of the air raid shelter and saw the horrible sight when they returned to the ground. the weakest people went crazy on the spot and screamed in despair in the polluted land far away from the disaster, their voices reaching the sky briefly but never to be heard again. my heart was like that. please block it there. .
I don't know who this is. to be exact, I don't know how many there are. A tumor-like corpse bound with steel and concrete in the city. Surrounded by facial features flying around, ferocious and protruding, or something similar. Even within the heart organ, if the clothing and jewelry worn during life were still intact, no one would think that it was a human corpse, but rather the corpse of some kind of monster that died in agony.
there are countless bodies like this in unexpected places; for example, after a heavy rain at night, poisonous mushrooms so poisonous that their mere sight is terrifying, grow wild in the city.
with the arrival of a specialized team, people gradually realized that corpses that can maintain their \shape\ are extremely rare. In the broken city, an unknown slime and water collected in a hole are found to be the same after being identified by experts. A corpse determined to be human is an even more horrifying form of death. After disintegrating at the cellular level, dozens, dozens, or even hundreds of human corpses may be mixed with a mixture of other unknowns.
when many of the victims heard the news, they could not help but scream and vomit frantically. Some people suddenly took off their clothes, shoes, and socks in a panic, as if they had been bitten by thousands of insects. because, after returning to the surface of the city, most of them will inevitably step on, scrape or even accidentally touch these places.
No one here knew exactly what happened in the city they lived in when they were hiding from extradimensional forces, but some of these things may have led to an unknown disaster. It was enough to tell everyone that it was far beyond people's imagination. .
After the successful evacuation and resettlement of the victims in momoki city, investigative agencies from all over the world also came to momoki city.
this is the third large-scale supernatural collapse incident to occur in cuizhu city and Fengxiang city since this century. these three events essentially ended within the destruction of the city.
nvestigators don't know whether this is a tragedy or a blessing for humanity, he said.
the \purification\ of hosho city has not yet been pleted, and momoki city in Sakurajima has also e to an end. Investigative agencies around the world are also feeling an unprecedented sense of pressure. Even more unimaginable horrors seem to be approaching at an even faster speed. but they couldn't do anything about it. the feeling of helplessness was more suffocating than watching a bomb with a countdown to zero explode in front of me.
In an oppressive and dull atmosphere, investigators were \sweeping\ the city when they finally discovered the body of a \human hero\ crushed under the ruins of a broken wall.
\he is...\ the old man of the mysterious team could barely distinguish the crumpled corpse, but at that moment the feeling of sadness for his rade could not jump out of his depressed heart, and the fear of the unknown paralyzed him. the other emotions they had turn them into machines.
If possible, I would like to be like a machine at this point, but not super high-tech like artificial intelligence. the voice is very simple, it just bees a kind of tool to lose your thoughts.
because they could not think or understand, and could only do what could be considered a kind of luck.
this is probably the first time that an ordinary person can understand what it means for a genius to be ``intensely intelligent.''
through basic munications messages sent by several members of the mysterious team at the time, investigators deduced what kind of heroic sacrifices the investigators made during the momoki city disaster, and used puters to the site was roughly reconstructed as it existed at that time. only then did I have a rough understanding of how the disaster could have been prevented in time at the critical moment.
however, for those who are paying attention, it may feel strange.
one of the basic accessories needed to prepare a seal is an important part of the supernatural divine body system. how did these people prepare all the sealing accessories at this critical time?
the sea monsters recorded in ancient chinese books are just small incarnations of qian huanyue's body. In order to seal it, the ancient people needed to bury it with the help of another supernatural god, but this time, qianhuan, who invaded momoki city, had to fill the moon with a body so large that it was unimaginable. I made it a part. how did mr. he Jian and his colleagues succeed?
could it have been stranger or more powerful in that moment?
If I think about this step by step, I feel like I'm falling into an icy abyss...
…
\boss brother, why did the lake and river outside our store suddenly change color? It wasn't like this last time I came.\ Li Youning stepped into a small chair and pushed the counter. I propped myself up and looked out the window with my eyes wide open. I was very interested in the changes in the forest outside the forest hut.
Ling Ling slowly sipped the freshly brewed fragrant tea and answered Li Yuning's question without haste: \It's because the quality of the water has changed.\
``Isn't it dirty?'' Li Youning's face changed and she said, ``Recently, we had a science class, and we shouldn't drink contaminated water.''
he looked at the tea cup in Ling Ling's hand, and after drinking the tea made from the lake water, he looked at Ling Ling with a worried expression, fearing that she would suddenly die in front of him.
It will make him sad for days.
\hmm...it's really dirty,\ Linlin thought for a moment, then answered, \but actually, it's fine. once boiled, it's delicious. Some people use it to make soup.\
``would you like to make soup with this water? Is it delicious?'' Li Yuning was very shocked. he had witnessed the darkness of humans since he was young, and was also very interested in the taste of the soup in Ling Ling's mouth.
Linlin said with a smile, ``I may not be able to answer the question of whether it's good or bad, because people who have tasted the soup don't remember what it tasted like.''
“It will be very difficult to drink. It will be so unpleasant that you will lose your memory.” Li Yuning licked her lips. the girl seemed happy to try it.
Li Yuning turned around and continued to look at the river in the forest and asked innocently. \brother, the fact that someone used it to make soup means that this river has existed for a long time. does that river have a name?\
\Yes, her name is Naihe.\
252 chances
on may 20, 2023, the weather was overcast and raining. mr. Fang maki was standing by the window on the floor of the ceiling, watching the rainwater outside the window dripping in a line and hitting the glass. he put his hand on the window, not realizing that the glass was shaking due to the heavy rain. my hands are still shaking.
he saw people running down buildings, heard the cries of children and young people playing, but felt no life in the world.
maybe you turn on the air conditioner too much and it's too cold. Fang mu sat on the sofa and hugged the air-conditioned shawl, barely feeling warmth, but it wasn't enough to calm her anxious heart.
to tell you why he turned out the way he did, you have to start from when he read the diary and the yellow paper on the coffee table... well, even earlier, when he read the yellow paper on the coffee table... You have to go back a year.
ten years ago, homaki was not a novelist, but was already a junior high school student with an interest in literature. At an early age, he was influenced by his family's culture and was an avid reader. by the time he was in the second grade of elementary school, he had mastered a vocabulary dozens of times more than his peers and read more than others, and was about to start writing children's novels. text, practical articles.
Another reason why she loves literature and writing may be related to her fragile body. he is often bedridden, and living at home for a long time has formed an unsociable personality and does not like socializing, which allows him to put all his emotions into the world he writes.
once you start loving and being passionate about something, you won't feel bad about losing something or losing a skill.
however, because of his weak body, he had trouble during the physical education exam on may 20th 10 years ago.
he remembered that it was also a rainy day. during the 1-mile distance test, I ran as hard as I could to get a perfect score.
Fang muxing fulfilled his destiny and won first place in this group, as well as a perfect score for sports. however, because I was pushing myself too hard, I suddenly felt severe pain all over my body and was immediately rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
the rescue efforts were quick and the patient was temporarily out of danger, but his family was told that his heart was dying.
doctors told the family that if huang mu wanted to survive, the best thing to do was to have a new heart transplanted.
Fang mu's family has a certain background and financial resources. After listening to the doctor's words, they immediately sent someone to examine Fang mu's heart.
Fang mu also had good luck. In less than half a day, fresh heart organs suitable for transplantation were available.
the origin of this heart is a little unclear. I heard that after Juan mu's surgery, his family used their connections to buy him on the black market. Although he may be worried, he believes there is nothing worse than seeing homoku die, so he decides to buy it at a high price.
the heart transplant surgery was so successful that even huang mu was surprised. If it weren't for the surgery scar on his chest, he never would have thought he would receive a heart transplant.
the heart transplant had little impact on homaki's daily life. Fang mu was curious and consulted the surgeon.
there was a look of shock in the other person's eyes as the doctor answered and explained that he was truly lucky and had received an incredible heart that was almost perfect for him.
homaki still clearly remembers the confused look on the doctor's face at that time. Rather than saying I was disappointed, I'd say \terrible if you think about it\ would be more accurate.
After passing through the gate of life and death, Fang mu gained a deeper understanding of life. After being discharged from the hospital, he actively asked about ownership of the heart in his body. he wanted to know if this person had any opportunities or connections. what kind of person is this foreigner whose fates inevitably intertwine? why does his heart reach his body?
Fang mu knew that what he was doing was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. After all, his heart had bad origins. the black market also had its own rules for survival. Even sellers may not know the origin of some of the items they are selling.
In the minds of these black market traders, the source of the goods is not important, the business is more important.
perhaps he felt that he had experienced some strange luck, or he was very interested in this kind of plot, which can only be found in books. he was the same every time he asked or looked up a little information about the master of his heart. It was my first time to secretly read such a taboo book, and my blood boiled with excitement.
Almost 10 years have passed since this survey.
It was six months ago that Juan mu received final confirmation of the heart's owner's identity from the detective he had missioned.
After reading the news about the private detective, Fang mu felt a little embarrassed that he might never hear the pleasure of reading novels again, but he was still very happy. At last he found his savior.
the original owner of his heart was called Fang Jianhua. when he was 20 years old, that is, at the beginning of 2013, he suddenly mysteriously disappeared, as he ran away from debt with a large amount of debt. my sister Fan Jingjin is in my city.
when Fang Jianhua reappeared in people's eyes, he became very wealthy, but he produced countless works, each of which was expensive.
this is the human condition; if it is plete, it is worthless, but when it is broken into pieces, \value\ appears.
thanks to her relationship with Fang Jianhua, Fang Jingjing's life was satisfying for a long time even after Fang Jianhua's disappearance. his academic life was so frequently harassed by debt collectors that he had to drop out of high school before graduating and go to work in another country.
Fang Jingjing came to work in the town next to Fang mu. he was uneducated and tried almost every job, but was unable to find a steady one and was often worried about making a living.
After suffering from hunger and cold for a long time, this strong girl collapsed to the ground. Just as he was working hard for his physical education exam, he was struck by an illness.
As soon as Fang mu thought of paring himself to Fang Jingjing, he felt embarrassed and wanted to slap himself in the face. he always felt that he was shameless.
Aocyanin lost two kidneys and suffered from kidney failure.
After hearing this incident, Fang mu became very emotional. he just felt that this was probably fate and that everything was a cycle of cause and effect.
he owes Fang Jingjing's brother his heart, so he planned to donate one of his kidneys to the family to repay the debt.
Fang wu felt that since Fang Jianhua's heart was almost a perfect match with Fang Jianhua's heart, his organs had some patibility with Fang Jia and should also be suitable for Fang Jingjing. .
Just to be sure, Fang mu still asked the agency to conduct a patibility test between himself and Fang Jingjing. As expected, his kidney was patible with Fang Jingjing and could be used for transplantation.
So Fang maki solemnly visited her door and announced his intention to donate his kidney.
253 hatred
At first, Fang Jingjing was surprised and moved by the sudden appearance of a kind person, but Fang mong was unable to hide it and revealed his true purpose.
After learning these things, Fang Jingjing fell into a long silence.
From the shocked expression on the other person's face, Fang mu felt that the girl had not known about her brother's death for years. his eyes showed confusion and sadness, and his thin face, plagued by illness, looked a little pale.
Fang mu tried to fort the girl, but noticed that Fang Jingjing's body was trembling slightly. only then did I realize that Fang Jingjing was afraid of something.
Fan Jingjing was confused for a while, as if he had received a strong shock or was trapped in some kind of nightmare that was difficult to escape. No matter what Fang mu asked him or what he asked him to do, he just shook his head. Finally, with the help of those around me, I reluctantly signed the consent form for the surgery.
After waiting for a while for Fang Jingjing's body to recover, the hospital plans to perform kidney transplant surgery within six days.
before signing the consent form for the surgery, Fang wu had already made preparations and conditioned his body according to the doctor's instructions, and as a qualified donor, he was ready to start the operation at any time.
however, the night before her kidney transplant surgery, Fang Jingjing jumped from the balcony of her hospital ward without any warning.
this poor girl, who mitted suicide, left only her will and an old-fashioned key to the parish.
Fang Jingjing finally wrote in his suicide note that he did not want to accept Fang mu's refund. between the lines, he apologized to homoku and began to recount his tragic life experiences.
the father of two brothers, Fang Jianhua and Fang Jingjing, mysteriously disappeared during a devastating flood in the south in 1998, before Fang Jingjing was born. After that, the two children were basically raised by their mother's family.
Fang Jingjing did not have a very good impression of her mother. when Fang Jingjing was only 4 years old, his mother and his unfortunate younger brother also died in a landslide.
having lost their parents, the two brothers could only rely on their grandparents.
without parental supervision, the brothers grew up in a small village, mostly in the countryside. before Fang Jianhua learned the bad habit of gambling, Fang Jingjing had a very close relationship with her younger brother. the two brothers relied on each other outside the home. After all, there were two brothers in the village without parents. he is easily bullied by his classmates.
when Fang Jianhua developed a lifelong gambling habit, she seemed like a different person. he no longer seemed to care about his beloved sister or grandparents. this was extremely disappointing to his family, especially in the case of Fang Jianhua. After stealing her family's unique savings of 2,000 yuan and running away with a large amount of debt, Fang Jingjing, who suffered greatly due to Fang Jianhua's chaos, decided to sever ties with Fang Jianhua.
perhaps one of the reasons why Fang Jingjing did not want to accept Fang mu's wish was that he hated his younger brother and could not forgive him, but when Fang mu saw this content at the time, he was very confused. . I want to. we accept it and do not resort to extreme measures such as death to express our rejection.
As he continued reading, Fang mu discovered a second reason for feeling suffocated.
Although Fang Jingjing did not have a very good impression of her mother, she still remembered her mother. thanks to vague memories and old photos, he was still able to recall the warm times he spent with his mother.
As for his father, he was different from his mother. Fang Jingjing just fantasized about it.
without any real documentation, after a flood she doesn't remember, all the photos of her father in her home mysteriously disappeared, just like her father. he had no choice but to rely on his brother's explanations to plete the puzzle in his brain. A father figure he had never seen before.
Fang Jingjing only knew that her father's occupation was as an editor at a small publishing pany. According to his brother, his father was in poor health and had a calm and elegant appearance, which was consistent with the public's impression of literary figures, or a certain kind of \prejudice.\
After Fang Jianhua left, Fang Jingjing became jealous of her fellow villagers whose parents were still alive. he has always admired people who are not strong but sacrifice everything for their family when they are bullied or insulted by debt collectors. Figures can stand up and defend them.
In order for her grandparents and her family to have a peaceful life, Fang Jingjing couldn't wait to work in the city after graduating from high school. he decided to pay off his brother's debt and at the same time asked about his brother.
perhaps in his heart there is still a memory of his brother's good side and he wishes that his brother had not left home to avoid debt, but he has another, stronger reason. did.
the first day Fang Jingjing met Fang mu, Fang mu explained to him that he wanted to repay the favor he gave ten years ago, and that he wanted him to take his brother's place as the object of the favor.
only then did Fang Jingjing learn that her brother had died, and suddenly realized the real reason why her brother disappeared.
the turning point in Fang mu's life and death ten years ago was also the turning point in the fate of Fang Jingjing's family. that year, her brother also ran away from home without telling her.
when Fang mu, who did not know this, confessed his feelings, Fang Jingjing was extremely distressed. perhaps he guessed that the older brother did not run away from the cruel house, but was forced to \break up\ from him. .
considering that he had deeply misunderstood his brother for ten years, and had experienced hardships that only he could experience in those ten years, Fang Jingjing's psychological defenses were about to collapse at this moment. this was also the reason why he showed confusion, pain and fear at that moment. reason
At this moment, Fang qi also felt the other feelings that Fang qi had for him in Fang qi's words. It was a kind of anger and resentment because Fang qi tapped into the heart of his brother who tragically passed away. .
therefore, in Fang Jingjing's eyes at that time, Fang mong was a good person who showed kindness, but at the same time he was also an enemy who stole his brother's heart.
these contradictory and plicated emotions made Fang Jingjing's heart very confusing. Fang Jingjing, who signed the surgical consent form in a confused state, felt unimaginable pain of regret and despair, and chose to mit suicide.
Fang Jingjing's suicide was mainly due to his guilt towards his brother, and probably also due to his hatred towards Fang mu. to be precise, it was hatred towards a person with a background like Juan mu. If you don't want homoku to regret it, it might be better to mit suicide. mu didn't have the opportunity to reciprocate his kindness, so Juan mu, who had a rich emotional world, felt closed off and in pain.
however, Fang mu was reluctant to speculate on this point. the words in Fang Jingjing's suicide note made him feel a kind of anger directed at him, but at the same time, he also felt Fang Jingjing's sincere apologies towards him.
he personally felt that the rest of the reason Fang Jingjing gave up on life was actually that he didn't know how to live his life anymore. Until then, I could try to live to pay off my debts and find my brother, but now I understand the feelings of the people who came to my house to encourage me to live. the debtor deliberately sucked the blood from them, and the poor soul, who could not resist, lost hope in life and lost the will to live, because he would never find his brother again.
At the end of her will, Fang Jingjing wrote that although she had given up on a kidney transplant, if Fang mu wished she could repay her in another way, it would be to cherish her. So that the elderly in my hometown can live their retirement with peace of mind. .
Fang Jingjing felt that the weight of repaying the favor was too heavy for him, so he decided to repay Fang wu in some way.
the keys and things he could open were the ones he decided to give to Fan mu. the key was able to open a small box in his rental house. It was a legacy from his father. considering his father's life occupation and Fang mu's writers, he felt that the professions matched well and most of what was inside would be useful to Fang mu.
254 pieces of black jade and a diary
Fang mu felt sorry and heartbroken that he could not save Fang Jingjing, but decided to agree to Fang Jingjing's last request, which could be considered as repayment for the Fang family.
however, what no one expected was that the tragic fate of the Fang family was not over.
when Fan mu found brother Fan's town, he found that the old man in his town had been dead for more than half a month. It turns out that the eldest grandfather of two suffered a heart attack from excitement after learning that his distant daughter was seriously ill and in critical condition. the grandmother, who was also in weak health, died next to him due to the death of her husband. It took more than a week for villagers to discover it.
Recently, the Fan brothers' family has been busy for a long time. Everything in the city has bee cleaner. It is unclear where the garbage truck was sent. there seems to be no place for family in the world.
the only thing they should be happy about is that their families will finally be able to bury them neatly side by side.
the fate of this family made Fang mu sad, and the thought of not being able to repay the family became an unruly fist in Fang mu's heart.
Fan mu receives Fan Jingjing's belongings at a rented house in the city, including a box that can only be opened with an ancient key that Fan Jingjing wanted to give him.
the box is not very large, about the length of your forearm. It is made of paulownia wood with ink painted on it. he trembled gently. the interior is hollow and generates noise. the inside seems to have a somewhat distinctive appearance. he looked at the black box carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a small coffin, so he was actually a little scared.
when Fang Jingjing opened the box with the key left behind, what caught Fang wu's eye was a half piece of black jade. beneath the black jade was a palm-sized diary with a cowhide cover.
Fang mu looked at the black jade half with interest before looking at the newspaper. It seems that it was once part of a jade pendant. the pattern was probably a type of frog, but the strange thing is that this piece of jade influenced the frog. It's incredibly delicate. Even the small particles and large irregularities on the body of frogs and frogs are precisely sculpted. the texture of jade is smooth and smooth, so if you are not careful, you will feel as if you are touching a real photo. Unknown frog with skin, caressing animal frog.
Fang mu once asked a friend to send it to a laboratory that studies jade for identification, and he discovered that the jade pendant could be dated back more than 5,000 years. I figured it out.
In this era of barbaric legends and undeveloped working tools, jade pendants emerged that far exceeded the profession of the time. this is definitely a great find.
Fan mu's friends at the institute say that Fan mu will keep this jade pendant at the institute to continue his research and maybe use it to find an ancient civilization that existed in china. he excitedly expressed his hopes.
however, Fang mu still refused his friend's request. After all, this black jade was a relic left by Fang Jingjing's father, and he didn't want to use it to bee famous.
wearing the black jade, Fang mu felt that the feel of the black jade frog pattern was still on his fingers. when I picked up the cowhide newspaper again, everything I touched felt like frog skin, and I felt a little scared inside. .
Afterwards, Fang mu will deeply regret opening this old newspaper. the moment I saw it, I was shocked by its contents.
the beginning of the diary, its yellowed pages, and the specks inside told the person who opened it the traces of the past. when Fang maki turned over the first page of the newspaper, he too gasped when he saw the words. Stop
Juan mu’s eye sockets were rapidly changing between expanding and contracting. After choking for a while, I suddenly felt short of breath. he did not pay attention to what was written in the newspaper. he just flipped through the pages quickly, jumping from the beginning to the middle and back to the middle. In the end, I jumped back for about a quarter or five minutes, and finally, my whole body gave out and I collapsed onto the sofa in the living room with a pale face.
the handwriting written in this diary is actually similar to mine...even the way we pose words and sentences are surprisingly similar.
how e there are people in this world who not only have similar handwriting but also the way they write?
however, since Fang mu had not had the habit of writing a diary since he was a child, he was convinced that this diary was definitely not for him.
Feeling like he had encountered some kind of absurd and unusual incident, Fang mu felt a voice in his heart and anxiously asked him not to read it again and not to burn the newspaper directly.
No more, no more!
And human curiosity is like a snowball rolling down a mountain. once it starts, it can't be stopped and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Fang maki trembled and returned to the front page of the newspaper. there it was written: \on June 7, 1992, the time came. I finally chose to marry someone who could be my mother.\ today's wife looked great in her red wedding dress. he and I got married like old men in front of his parents. In front of the bed at the wedding he asked me if I was happy and I smiled and lied to him.
on June 18, 1992, my wife and I were living respectfully as a normal married couple. our days were simple and happy. today, my wife made a fish pot for me when I came home from working overtime at the newspaper pany. I'll eat it all. while we were taking a shower together, he hugged me and said let's live happily ever after. As I listened to the frogs croaking outside the window, I became anxious, hoping that he didn't notice anything wrong with me. I cheated again today.
on July 7, 1992, my work colleague Lao Jiang asked me how I felt during the first month of our marriage. he said he didn't feel anything at all. he also made fun of me for staying out of trouble. he said that in the future, his son's full moon will be memorable, and so will your wedding's full moon. If you know how to be romantic, prepare some delicious wine and food tonight. otherwise, you will receive the entire gift. back I couldn't understand this so I asked him for advice. Lao Zhang is very good at eating and drinking. he remended that there were a lot of shops selling frogs at the heather Street market these days. It's not the season to eat frogs, but there are a lot of fat frogs on the market now, and they're sold cheaply... below is what I haven't heard. my wife also often buys vegetables at the vegetable market on heather Road. when I got home that evening, he had cooked me a sumptuous dinner. I gave her the bouquet of roses I had bought. I looked at the dining table. there was no frog on it. I thought my wife knew I was afraid of them.
July 10, 1992. I ate a lot for dinner today. my wife noticed that I didn't eat lunch at work and asked me why. I didn't have anything to hide, so I just said that there was a frog in today's work. when my wife heard that, she didn't say anything. he went back to the kitchen and added another plate of fried pork for me.
September 12, 1992. I didn't write a newspaper for a while because the newspaper business was booming and my workload increased. when you're immersed in your busy life, you never seem to hear that sound approaching anymore. this is fantastic. Luckily my wife is pregnant.
255 past newspapers
on September 17, 1992, I felt like I heard his voice again. did he not want to let me go yet?
on September 18, 1992, it intensified. At night his voice grew louder and closer, but his wife was still asleep. she was pregnant. At this point I couldn't go crazy and disturb his rest.
on September 19, 1992, I couldn't sleep. I really couldn't sleep. I kept the light on in my study all night under the pretext of work. my wife was sleeping in the next room. I had no choice but to look into it and found out that pregnant women are sleeping well. he banged his head against the wall to get rid of the frog voices in his head and didn't wake up all night.
September 20, 1992. For the past few days, I haven't been able to sleep at night. he also seems to have mental problems. I always think that what I see on the ground by the roadside is some type of frog or toad, but when I look closely, I see that it is not.
on September 23, 1992, I fell into a a for several days. the doctor said I was overworked and exhausted. when my boss at the newspaper heard about my incident, he felt very sorry. the members of our newspaper were very close to each other, never discussing their superiors or the ranks of their employees in private. my boss's wife found out about my family's situation and even took care of me. wife for a few days. After I woke up, my boss decided to give me a month's vacation to rest. I wanted to say no, but I didn't know how to explain it because it wasn't his fault.
I was discharged from the hospital on September 24, 1992. I lied and said I was too nervous to sleep. the hospital prescribed me sleep. thanks to the medication, I was finally able to fall asleep. but I was also tired of sleeping. I ended up on a slippery road. I ran into a moss hole and planted an unknown sport. my feet felt like the earth was alive, like I was walking on a frog's body covered in mucus. there was always someone beating in the shadows behind me, unable to see the big picture. the giant frog inside was chasing me so hard it drove me crazy.
october 2, 1992 I think I developed a tolerance for sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night. the cries of frogs and toads never left my ears, and it seemed like dreams and reality were switching smoothly.
on october 3, 1992, I probably went crazy and tried to find the source of the sound. while my wife was sleeping, I took a knife from the kitchen and searched the whole house. It seemed to be everywhere, but there was no sound anywhere. did you hear a noise in your bed again?
on october 4, 1992, my wife returned to Japan at my strong request. I asked my wife to stay at home and take a good rest during her pregnancy. because of this, my always kind wife almost got into a big fight with me. I knew he was worried about me, but why shouldn't I be worried about him? Last night, when I was looking for the sound, I actually climbed into bed after the sound, picked up a kitchen knife, and almost sliced my wife's stomach open. I almost went crazy thinking that the noise was ing from my wife's stomach.
on october 6, 1992, I was nostalgic for the days when my wife was by my side. I had to admit that my cooking skills were really bad. After my wife disappeared, I gradually gathered up the courage to go out at night to look for sounds. I went out into the street and lay down, stuck my head into a dark, smelly hole, put on my slippers and went into a flower bed where the leaves were sprouting from the side. I was worried that you might notice his presence somewhere while you were exploring, but it seems like you've lost yourself in your exploration as well. I hope the neighbors don't see it. otherwise, my wife and I will have to move.
october 7, 1992. there was a thick fog last night, but I wasn't going to give up on looking for the sound. however, as soon as I went outside, I met the thief. he stood in the fog, and the flashlight made his strong, flat face look a little strange. I forgot that it was no longer my time of peace, and without hesitation I turned around and ran as fast as I could, with this face and stranger chasing after me. In the end, I ran home to avoid danger. After thinking about it, I realized that the thief's legs were a little strange. when the fog cleared during the day, I braced myself for a bullet and headed back to my spot, but I almost missed it. I was scared to death, but when I followed the footprints in the forest, I realized that there were always strange footprints and that the footprints were also webbed. I got scared thinking that maybe it was a man or something that chased me last night. A frog with a human body! ?
After chasing that frog on November 27, 1992, I temporarily abandoned the dangerous practice of chasing sounds and realized that these sounds were annoying enough, but not unbearable, and Gradually I realized that as long as I had to take the sound. the human frog takes the initiative to pursue the sound...the source of the sound does not take the initiative to harm itself. For the sake of my wife and future children, I decided to curb my insanity.
1992...
Fan mu hurriedly flipped through the diary. the rest of the diary looked pretty normal, but you could read between the lines the repressed emotions of the diary's owner. behind these hidden records written about the lives of ordinary people, there was a madman who wrote them, and he was getting more and more excited. .
these diaries documenting daily life lasted until February 1995. his excessive repression and concealment of his actions still affected him negatively.
February 16, 1995 my wife woke me up last night. when I woke up, I was standing on the balcony. my wife was holding me and my 3-year-old son Jianhua was crying and holding me. one of my thighs...I was sleepwalking! my wife was very sad and cried. I continued to fort my wife until Jianhua fell asleep in my arms. my wife couldn't take it anymore and asked me what was wrong. this time too, I didn't hide it and conveyed my suffering. Giant toad-like monsters kept appearing around me.
on February 17, 1995, it was unbelievable and my wife didn't fully believe my words, but she still chose to accept my words and asked me not to suppress my emotions. I asked. he wanted me to face my fears and problems head on. but I didn't have the courage to tell him that the oute was actually doomed, and in my heart I didn't want to walk through this muddy water. In the end, I didn't have much time to spend with them.
on February 18, 1995, looking at my wife's determined and encouraging look, I decided to go back to my roots and find out the truth behind it all. First, I have to go back to Ginnan and meet
Ithe head of the mo clan again.
February 24, 1995 I had been preparing for my trip for several days, and today I finally left. As I was writing in my diary on the train, I remembered what my wife had said before we left. be careful of everything.'' I told him it was okay because I knew it wasn't time to die yet.
on February 25, 1995, cheap and popular transportation had not been developed. After riding a bumpy sleeper bus all day and night, we finally arrived at our destination. Shit, my legs upstairs really hurt! After getting off the car, I rode a tricycle and came to the small town below the county seat for a temporary stay. I found a hotel near the station and checked in. there was a shrine dedicated to the local animal gods at the front of the hotel. A frog with a mysterious and bright pattern painted on its back was standing on the wall.
256 frogs and toads
In order to make it easier to understand what was written in the diary, Fang mu flipped through the diary and also looked at the things written in the diary that he didn't understand.
For example, as mentioned about the frog statue in the shrine, Fang mu said on the Internet that this frog statue is actually a type of animal god worshiped in the southern part of Guangxi, and is called the frog god. discovered that it is part of a system of witchcraft worship.
the origin of the frog god can be traced back to more primitive antiquity. It is one of the long-standing totem cultures in southern Guangxi and other parts of china. modern people believe that the sound of a frog's cry also signals the arrival of the planting season. this deity is also considered by the locals to be the image of the god of rain and abundance. I pray for good weather and a bountiful harvest for people.
Fang mu couldn't help but wonder, does the frog god worshiped here have any relation to the frog god mentioned by the newspaper owner?
Furthermore, the newspaper owner has some very strange ments about \time\, such as \this is no longer my peaceful time,\ \marry someone who can be my mother,\ and \In fact, the end is destiny.\ I have expressed this expression many times. ... I'm curious about this, but is the owner of the newspaper a time traveler from a certain future era?
Fang mu continued to read the newspaper, feeling a little excited but nervous.
when I arrived there on February 26, 1995, I could not find any locals as tour guides. As it turns out, this wasn't the first time I've been here. this was more than 20 years ago, and the place I wanted to go was quite primitive. on the contrary, this place has not changed much due to the changes of time and years, so it is also convenient to revisit the place where you lived before. oh, of course no one here knows me. with the help of local villagers, they boarded a van that was just on its way to their destination and arrived at the mountain village of wenyatun, along with a van loaded with red bricks and tiles. For a young foreigner like me, everyone in the mountain villages looks at me strangely. the sun was setting when we arrived at wenyatun, so we first had to think about where to stay. I paid my brother, who was driving the van, extra fare and lodging at home. my brother and his family were very excited. entertain me
Since ing to Guinan on February 27, 1995, my nervous breakdown has improved considerably. I know this is not due to the effects of the drug. I stayed one night at brother pica's house. Feeling refreshed, I planned to go out early in the morning to find the village chief of wenyatun Village. however, my brother stopped me, but asked me to stay at his house first since it was not customary for the village chief to get up early. Let's talk after breakfast. what I had for breakfast was sweet potato porridge with pickles. It didn't taste good, but it was good for settling my stomach. After breakfast, I saw my brother's daughter squatting next to an iron bucket in the garden, washing vegetables, drawing water, and making fun of something. I heard sounds like frogs and toads.
As I approached with some fear and curiosity, I saw the girl throwing all the homework papers she had collected into an iron bucket. then, the iron bucket came out with the loud cries of frogs and toads, and the sound of the iron bucket was also the same. there was a loud banging sound against the wall of the barrel, as if the frogs and toads inside were fighting for food. there was a faint sound of crunching flesh and blood, but the girl seemed to have seen something interesting and exciting, and she raised little silver bells in joy.
I trembled a little, I know what the girl is doing, and I know very well that what the girl has collected is my hair that fell from the room and my nails that were cut and discarded last night. .
I visited the village chief's house and explained the purpose of my visit and the problems I had been suffering from for the past few years. when the village chief learned about the incident, he remained silent for a while and then asked me to sit in the living room and wait. he started walking on crutches, probably looking for something. After waiting for a long time, I got up, went into the living room, looked around, and immediately saw the chapel here. As expected, a frog was registered, but this frog was different from the frog I saw at the hotel. It's just different.
the person in front of me had wrinkled skin, pimples all over his body, and hair, making him look more like a frog. It was pletely different from ordinary frogs, with smooth skin and vivid colors and patterns.
It is not a frog god, but a toad god, which is a more niche animal cult locally. It is worth noting that they distinguish between the two, locals have a pletely different attitude towards them.
when I see a statue with a face that looks like a frog but not a frog, like a bat or a sloth, my heart flutters knowing that this person is paying attention to me.
the gaze of the gods sometimes bees a curse rather than a blessing.
twenty minutes later, the village chief returned. he came to me with a black paulownia box in his hand and said that the way to solve my problem was to take the paulownia box from the cave of mount Nun and place it inside the statue of God. . on the feet and back okay. he seriously told me to never speak during the process of entering the cave. I wish I could just hold my breath. No matter what I see or hear, I must turn a blind eye, don't listen, and don't react... otherwise I won't be able to escape from this cave.
I am so grateful for what this old man did for me. he must pay a lot of money to help me find the contents of this paulownia box. In just a few minutes, his hand became abnormally swollen. , large and small rough bumps appear on it, just like frog skin.
I took the paulownia box to my brother's house and asked him about farming and mountaineering. the expressions on my brother's and his family's faces when they heard about this place took on a strange, ferocious look, and their views on me changed a little. he said that Nongsan is a little far from here. It's too late to go into the mountains now. A terrifying beast will appear in the mountains at night. So, I was planning to go to the mountains the next day as well.
on march 7, 1995, I returned to Japan safely. my wife was overjoyed when I returned home safely. he also contacted close family and friends to specifically congratulate me, but the family and friends who came to my house for dinner didn't know why we were celebrating. .
Seeing this, Juan mu’s eyebrows tightened. he turned the pages back and forth, but found no sign that the diary had been edited or torn.
In other words, something must have happened to the newspaper owner during the blank seven days from February 27th to march 7th, but he intentionally did not record it.
this empty space made Juan mu feel itchy in his heart, and his whole body felt like it was frozen. As a writer and a bookworm, he really couldn't stand this emptiness. he urgently wanted to know what happened after the newspaper owner went into the mountains. however, the newspaper owner deliberately deleted this record like a devil.
Suddenly, Fang mu's chest tightened, and a thought came to his mind. maybe the newspaper owner did this on purpose because he wanted to invite me to wenya Village in the southern part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region?
Fang mu was even more curious about brother Fang’s father. what did the man, whose handwriting and writing style were almost the same, look like and what kind of person was he?
In this regard, Fang mu could only pay an illegal private investigator to conduct further investigation and, if possible, at least obtain his photo.
All Fan mu knows so far is that the name listed on the father's information page in the Fan brothers' registry is Fan Ling.
“Fan Ling…” Fan mu had already made many guesses about the identity of the newspaper owner, but remembering the name again made him feel unfortable and absurd.
Its name is derived from the word ``fang'' by removing the prefix ``house'' and from the word ``bayashi'' by removing the prefix ``ki''.
maybe Fan Lin is me?
once this idea appeared, Fang mu couldn't get rid of it, and at the same time, an idea flashed in his mind.
he knew it was wrong to do so, and he knew it was absurd. he also knew that the answers he would get would be just as destructive as the illusion...but Fan mu still did it and asked someone to find him. ta. they lined up to remove Fang Jingjing's hair from the funeral and took their own hair to a dNA testing laboratory for identification.
before the test results came out, huang mu continued reading the diary, and his reading speed increased.
he was worried that he wouldn't have the courage to continue reading after the test results came out.
the pages of the newspaper crumpled in his trembling hands. he continued reading with a worried attitude.
Since Guinan returned, Fang Ling and his family have returned to peace and tranquility. Although my diary records are not as intense, the melancholy between the lines is gone and my sentences are softer. Life seems to be changing. get well.
Feeling the emotions that the newspaper owner had written, Fang mu's mood seemed to have calmed down, and he slowly regained his posure.
this relaxed state continued until 1997, when in July, two years after returning from Guinan, she suddenly stopped hearing her beautiful voice.
on July 12, 1997, our second child was already two months old. For famous reasons, he had to return to his rural hometown before his belly was revealed. only then will his unborn child be with me. only then will my daughter be born safely and I will be able to stay in town and continue earning money.
on July 21, 1997, the foreboding finally came true. I received my package today. Even though it was wrapped in a snakeskin bag, I felt the weight of something familiar inside the package. I opened the package and looked inside. what I was wondering about for almost 30 minutes was the black paulownia box. that was exactly what I sent to Nozan cave two years ago. he actually came out of the cave and came back to me. the difference is that this time it also es with a key to open the wooden box.
I opened the box and took a look. It was empty. my heart was empty and my soul felt like it had fallen into an endless abyss. that night, I drank alone on the balcony. the wind suddenly became a little colder, the back of my neck felt cold, and my heart became anxious. From the day I married my wife...or rather, from the very beginning, from the first time I came into contact with her, I thought that I would not be able to escape death, and that I would die the day I became a party to it. .
on July 22, 1997, with a bit of luck in my heart, I boarded the train and headed back to Guinan. will sending the box back there save me from disaster?
on July 23, 1997, news of the collapse arrived. the village chief at the time passed away, and so did his entire family. their daughter-in-law also went crazy after losing her child. Soon after, he too was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and had his head buried in the asylum. I mitted a strange suicide by pushing myself into the iron fence that Kohan's forearm had penetrated. the new village chief regretfully told me that no one in the village would help me. So...who sent me this paulownia box?
on July 25, 1997, I sat on the train heading home, feeling like I was dying inside. when they returned to mount Nun, the cave had collapsed and they could not enter it. when the new village chief saw me trying to climb the mountain alone, he was shocked and angry, and scolded me for risking my life. perhaps because he felt pity for me, he finally revealed the truth. A few months ago, all the children of the families who worship the frog god in the village went to mount Nong to perform their annual worship ritual. Unexpectedly, that day the cave collapsed. None of the people who entered the cave that day survived, so it was equivalent to the death of those who knew how to solve my problem. of course, there was no one to help me anymore.
on September 30, 1997, my wife's belly was already very large. I told my wife that I wanted to take her to a northern city. my wife's parents expressed reluctance, but my wife agreed without thinking.
the diary below records Fang Lin's daily life as he takes care of his pregnant wife. At the same time, Fang Lin had to work hard at her new job during the day.
his wife, who had been pregnant for a long time, finally gave birth on April 1, 1998. Fan Lin and his wife weled their youngest child, Fan Jingjing.
my daughter was born on April 7, 1998, the 1st of this month. mother and daughter are safe. Jenhwa is a sensitive child. You can see that he really loves his sister. I told him that if his parents were to disappear in the future, he would have to love his sister and do everything in his power to protect her, no matter what happens. Jianhua swore to me. when I heard that, I hugged my wife and children for the first time and cried in front of them. I could no longer hide my weaknesses.
on may 20, 1998, after Labor day, I finally found time to write my last diary entry. I'd like you to read the previous entry, but what I want to say is that I'm not going to write anything today. Your package will be delivered to you today, but this is a secret only for me. None of us can escape the vortex of time and the traps of fate. I wish you good luck in the future.
Seeing this, Juan mu's heart suddenly twisted, and confusion and fear crawled all over his body like ants, and his respiratory system was almost strangled. he couldn't explain in words how he felt at that moment.
Fan Lin...is it me?
