I can still live for 30 days >> Twenty Days (4) Huo Yihao came to see the book without a pop-up window

  I said, what's wrong with that?

  Are you kidding me? You're not telling the truth, are you deceiving me?

  I'm telling you, I didn't cheat you. Anyway, that's what we used to say before. Let me explain it to you: the entrance of hell is actually the entrance of Golden Mountain, but those who enter will never return.

  Dwarf said, your statement is no problem, I've heard many times, but these two sentences are not right. Think carefully.

  I mumbled, indeed the rhythm is not right, then I'll change it. After all, speaking nonsense is my basic skill. I patted my head and said, look at this brain of mine. It seems that the gates of hell have opened, but Mount Kunlun and the Silver Sea can't be found.

  This time it's about the rhythm, I looked at the dwarf, the dwarf frowned and said, no, these two sentences are still not right.

  Everything is in rhythm, why isn't it okay?

  This has formed a huge question mark in my mind. If the dwarf knew the last two sentences, he didn't need to joke with me here. If he didn't know, how did he know that my two sentences of poetry were not rhythmic? To be sure, this is a nursery rhyme, without particularly strict knowledge of rhythm, what was his judgment based on?

  I kept a watchful eye, quietly turned on the recording app on my phone, and said to the dwarf, "You see, I really have a problem with this head of mine, but I really know the last two sentences. You just said that and now I'm confused too, it doesn't feel quite right. Say it again, let me get it straight."

  The dwarf looked at me, snorted coldly, and quickly said a few words. I saw the recording was successful, thought for a moment, and then said, "Anyway, it's just these two sentences, should be right." You also know that after being passed down for so many years, it's inevitable to have some distortion.

  The dwarf thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Well, I've spent so many years piecing together these sentences, I knew I didn't have such good luck. Forget it, you go do what you need to do, just consider this a story I told you today."

  I returned to the room and copied down this nursery rhyme on paper. Since the dwarf was able to tell that I was wrong, it's clear that he has his own way of judging things - in other words, this is a cryptogram.

  I read this nursery rhyme again, carefully reading it word by word.

  Red dress, flowered sedan chair, inside sits a beautiful young woman.

  Beautiful lady, sitting in a flower sedan chair, with only her lover's smile in her eyes.

  Mountains of gold and seas of silver are nothing compared to a house full of children.

  An old locust tree, a dilapidated temple, when the moon is half full, I hear her laughter.

  Defy Heaven and Earth, make a ruckus with ghosts and spirits flee in vain.

  Hidden in a ruined temple, unwanted by anyone, yet the maiden insists on calling it a lustful demon.

  Beautiful jade, unwanted, hangs in a ruined temple on a moonlit night.

  Beautiful and delicate, hanging in a dilapidated temple, the heartless person does not know.

  Dying for love is the most laughable thing, a hundred years of hatred in the temple cannot be extinguished.

  Cry for love, grow old for affection, but men with little emotion are like tigers and leopards.

  Mei Jiao Jiao is gone, Hong Yi Niang Niang guards the ancient temple.

  Is this a hidden-head poem? I tried to draw it with a pen, but there was no rule to follow. I experimented with several arrangement methods and got nothing.

  Then I was at a loss, I thought that imagination could not be fabricated out of thin air, and the cryptogram, without knowing the password, needed a flash of inspiration to decipher.

  I put down the paper and heard a knock at the door. I thought it was Xia Ai, so I shouted "come in". Feng Yue pushed open the door and walked in.

  I was taken aback, then said, how did you come here?

  Fengyue smiled wearily and said, "You guys were scared yesterday, weren't you?"

  I said, nothing, nothing, do you still remember what's going on?

  Fengyue shook her head and said, "I don't even know how I put on this skirt, today I'm feeling weak all over, move aside, let me sit for a while."

  After finishing speaking, he sat on my bed, I could only retreat to a chair beside, then I said, you also need some rest.

  Fengyue thought for a moment and then said, "They all hide from me, as if I were a ghost. I'm quite boring, and since I can't go out, I came here to clear my mind."

  I let out a sound, then didn't know where to start, Fengyue's calf was gently swaying, her head slightly raised, as if looking at me, but also seeming to look through my shoulder towards the back of my body, her eyes were a bit dazed, this gaze seemed to bring a soft and fuzzy light to her absolutely beautiful face.

  I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly Fengyue's face turned red, she lowered her head, then said "I'm leaving".

  I hastily said, no, sit for a while longer.

  Fengyue said, you don't want to care about me again.

  I said, which man wouldn't want to be with you? Women see you and their hearts move.

  Fengyue said, have you been moved?

  I smiled and said, being infatuated is just that, but I'm too old, poor and aged, I have self-awareness.

  Fengyue said, so you say, will women really be moved by me? Yesterday, my sister D'ai followed me to sleep for a night, do you think she would **me?

  The great love in Fengyue's mouth is actually the small love I have recognized, but as soon as she said this, the scene in my mind burst out suddenly, and with the scene came my nosebleed.

  The wind and moon sighed, then said, "You're bleeding from your nose! What's wrong with you?"

  I had no idea I would get a nosebleed, but thinking about that scene is basically fabricated, I hurriedly waved my hand and said, I've been sick for the past few days, and there's more fire in my body.

  At this time the door was pushed open, and Xia Ai walked in directly. She saw Feng Yue sitting on my bed, stunned for a moment, then saw me wiping my nosebleed with paper, hummed, and said, "You're so shameless."

  I hastily said, I'm sick, I'm sick.

  Xiao Ai came over and slapped me hard on the back, then said, "I'll go get you some water. When I come back, you'd better tell me what's going on - why did your nose start bleeding? Why don't you see me with a bloody nose?"

  Embarrassed, Feng Yue got up and said, I'll go first.

  Xiao Ai also ignored him and walked out with a thermos in hand.

  Fengyue walked to the door and turned around making a ghostly face, I hastily said, don't go yet.

  Fengyue said, I'm not leaving, if I go back, I'll get a beating.

  I said, that one, that one, Mei Xue, do you know her? The name they mentioned.

  The wind and moon were stunned, her face suddenly twitched, and then she said, I don't know, but they said that the one who was possessed yesterday was her, a girl named Mei Xue. However, after that, they didn't say anything else, as if they were avoiding it.

  I said I'm not familiar with them, and today I didn't meet anyone at all. Otherwise, you can ask Meixue what's going on, okay?

  Fengyue said, why are you so curious?

  I said I feel like you will continue to have deaths, so this kind of thing must be investigated as soon as possible.

  Fengyue said, whether we die or not doesn't matter, as long as you don't kill people, right?

  I was taken aback and then said, "What does it mean?"

  Fengyue said, everyone has their own fate, everyone has their own retribution. When it's time for me to die, I also know that I won't be able to live.

  Before I could react, Fengyue had already turned around and left.

  Xiao Ai walked back with a pot in her hand, gave me a fierce stare and said, "Everyone has left, what are you still looking at?"

  I hastily said, didn't see, didn't see.

  Xiao Ai said, "Hurry up and wash, after you're done, tell me properly, where has your dignity gone?"

  Xiao Ai's words had just fallen when a loud clap of thunder suddenly rang out beside my ear, and Xiao Ai's mom shouted out in alarm. She rushed over to us, and I instinctively hugged Xiao Ai tightly, feeling her warm and soft body trembling slightly. Then, my nose started bleeding again, and the blood dripped directly onto Xiao Ai's head.

  I hastily touched it with my hand, Xia Ai looked up at me with a wolf-like appearance, smiled slightly, and then she said, this is barely passable, not bad, hurry up and wash.

  The storm outside suddenly flooded the whole world, and then it was boring and interesting. Xia Ai and I sat in the room for a day, talking with or without words. At noon and evening, everyone had two meals together, and then they were thinking about their own thoughts in their respective rooms.

  In the evening, the torrential rain showed no signs of weakening, and I was worried that this old building might not withstand such a rainy night. Fortunately, nothing happened before I fell asleep.

  Just as I thought today would pass quietly, a loud noise suddenly woke me up in the dead of night. I felt the whole building shaking and the entire earth trembling.

  In an instant, we lost all the light and there were cries in the darkness.

  Everyone ran out and stood outside in the heavy rain, with no one knowing what had happened.

  Is it a landslide? Is it an earthquake?

  The explosion only sounded once, and the earth returned to calmness. Outside, it was pitch black, and people could only barely see the silhouettes moving back and forth. Eventually, everyone felt that nothing would happen, so they all went back to their inns, each person drenched like a drowned rat.

  The hotel was still without light, Ma Tiancheng shouted several times at the door to ask if there were any who hadn't returned. There was no response in the darkness. He closed the door and shouted again in the dark, meaning that everyone should return to their rooms, lock the doors, and he would fix the electricity tomorrow.

  This is also an unavoidable thing. Everyone walks upstairs. Suddenly, I feel a cold hand grasping my arm, and a voice says, "Is it Brother Ding?"

  I just hummed in agreement, and that hand covered my mouth, saying in a low voice, I have something to say to you, come with me.

  I could tell that the voice was Siyao's. I followed her to a corner of the room, where she spoke in urgent tones, saying, "Da Peng is back."

  What did you say?

  Si Yao said, Da Peng is back.

  What did I just say?

  Xiyao said, "When I just went out, I was very scared. I was afraid that something unexpected would happen again. So, in the darkness, I counted the number of people's heads, and we had one more person than before. One more person, do you know who it is? It's Dapeng who has come back. I don't dare to tell them, I'm afraid they'll panic. Can you help me? I'm very scared, do you have a way?"

  What did you say?

  Siya said, I just checked, we have one more person, it's Dapeng.

  I still don't understand, but I'm already getting goosebumps. I said, are you done searching?

  Siya said, I checked four times, and there was one more person than before.

  I said, you didn't count me as your friend, did you?

  Xiyao said, I've counted it all, I've counted it all. There are so many people in the inn, I've counted them several times in my heart. One more person, really one more person.

  I said I have another friend, maybe she's back.

  Xiyao said, really? Did I really get it wrong? That's great, scared me to death, I thought Dapeng was back.

  I felt Siya let out a sigh of relief, at this moment the candlelight had lit up, the two of us went upstairs one after another, I watched her enter her own room and close the door.

  But I didn't go back to my own room, I thought it was probably Da Ai who had returned. I walked to Da Ai's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

  I knocked on the door again. At this time, Ma Tiancheng came up with a candle in his hand and walked to my side. After seeing clearly that it was me, he said, "Your friend hasn't come back."

  I said, haven't you come back?

  Ma Tiancheng nodded.

  I said, apart from me and the woman who came back with Gu Miao, are there any other people in this inn, such as those students?

  I made it clear how many people there were, just in case someone was left out. But then Ma Tiancheng said, "This terrible weather, who would come over?"

  I was stunned for a moment, then said that the female student just said she had checked the number of people in the dark and found that there was one more person among us.

  Ma Tiancheng was taken aback, then burst out laughing and said, "Don't scare me, it can't be that her boyfriend is back, right?"

  After saying this, he might have felt unlucky, so he quickly spat out a few mouthfuls of saliva and drew a cross on his chest. Then he said, "Don't blame me, don't blame me." I said, "You shouldn't be outside either, hurry back to your room, maybe it's just a mistake in the investigation, it's so dark."

  I nodded and went back to my room, lying down for a while thinking about what Siyao said. Has someone really appeared between us?

  Whether he is human or ghost, what is his purpose?

  Such a peaceful day, why such an unpeaceful ending?

  Will this bit of peace never be had again in my life?

  Thirty days of life, don't even have the qualification to die quietly?

  The damn sound is ringing again.

  Drip!

  Drip!
