Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The Nineteenth Day to the Last: Seeing the Truth

The sun is warm, the trees are green, the lake is rippling slightly, swans are dancing on the lake, and children are laughing and applauding by the lake. Wuyan and Ling are sitting by the lake in the park, enjoying the swan dance with the children.Ling Zheng was very surprised: "There are real swans flying in the park, and you see, this swan seems to be performing. She seems to understand the children's cheers." Wuyan stared at the swan for a long time, and said with certainty: "She is not just a swan, she is a girl's soul substitute." "Soul substitute?" Ling Zheng was surprised, "Are you joking or telling a fairy tale?"

"It's true. Don't you believe that people have souls? There is a girl's soul in the body of this swan. She lives because of love, and she dances for her lover." She pointed to him. The man on the other side of the lake, "That man was her lover. She loved him so much that she was even willing to die for him, and turned into a swan after death. I dare say, she must have been a dancer before." Ling Zhengxiao: "Wuyan, maybe you will become an excellent novelist in the future." "You do not believe?" "I believe it. And I also know that not only the swan is the soul of a girl, but the pair of butterflies over there are also the incarnation of Liang Zhu."

"You still don't believe it." Wuyan sighed softly, "but it's true. The infatuated dancer was reborn again and again for the person he loved, repeating his life and soul as much as possible, just to love him more fully. Ling Zheng, you will never understand what love is like at the cost of your life." Ling Zheng was a little uneasy: "Recently, you like to discuss life and soul." "That cannot be avoided." "what?" "There is one thing that everyone will do at least once in their life. Fortunately, most of them only need to do it once. That is—" Wuyan paused for a moment, before uttering the two words softly: "Death."

Ling Zheng felt awkward in his heart, but on the surface he forced a smile and said, "Nonsense." Wu Yan argued: "But it's also the truth." Ling Zheng surrendered: "The truth is all nonsense." But after a while, he added, "But nonsense is not necessarily the truth." He looked resentful. He smiled without a face. Their days passed peacefully and harmoniously, each minute closer than the last, like a race against the clock, as if it was too late if they didn't love each other--but that was exactly what it was. It's a good day to have eyes. She watches TV all night and night. She has "listened" to many films before. The story is no stranger to her. Now she can finally combine video and sound. Zixia's expression when she flies down the world How poignant and beautiful, the sad Lian Nishang turned into a white-haired witch, Maggie Cheung wore more than 20 sets of cheongsam and walked through the Mood for Love, Chow Yun-fat went in and out of the Peace Hotel three times, Ruhua was stuck in the world with a rouge After searching and searching, the Twelve Young Masters were reduced to a curry coffee in the theater...

This is the sixth day since Wuyan returned to the human world, which is also the nineteenth from the last day she can stay in the human world.On this day, she was nineteen years old and had just entered university. Her long hair is slightly shorter than before, but still straight so it's not easy to see - she should be thankful that it hasn't changed in all these years - her skin is more delicate and smooth, and there is a little bit of unease on her face. The baby fat has faded away, and there is a slight dimple on one side of his face when he smiles. The dimples grew and gradually calmed down. Rachel used to regret this, and kept saying that she missed Wuyan with dimples because she looked more innocent and cute.Now that I think about it more clearly, the dimple seems to have disappeared slowly after meeting Ling Zheng, probably because Wuyan, who started dating, really grew up, or because she gradually seldom smiled after suffering from a crush.

Ling Zheng put his hands on his head, laid himself down on the grass, squinted his eyes and looked at Wuyan with a smile: "You look very good today." Wuyan is also smiling, but there is a shadow in this smile.Careless Lingzheng, he thought she looked good, but he didn't realize that the "good" was not really because of "look", but because of her age - Wuyan was one year younger, she is now nineteen A young girl with a breath of youth. Wuyan is a little worried that her identity will be revealed soon. No matter how careless Lingzheng is, she can't tell the difference between nineteen and twenty-five years old, but in three days, when she returns to sixteen, she can't hide it. that's it.What will happen to him then?Will yell?Panic?Rebuke her of deceit and conspiracy?abandon her?Find someone to kill her?Call her out of her wits?

This is a gamble, and you can't leave the game once the market opens.Wuyan had already regretted her end by this time, but it was too late, she could only use all the weight in her hand and put all her eggs in one basket. She looked at the swan with understanding in her eyes.They are all reincarnated souls, for love.She looked at the man on the other side of the lake, he was undoubtedly a handsome man, but everyone has their own most beautiful, in the eyes of the swan, the man is naturally unparalleled in the world, but in Wuyan's heart, there is only one Lingzheng.The only one, Lingzheng!

When she returned to Zhong's Garden, Mrs. Chen told Wuyan: "Miss Rachel called today and said that the master will return to China in two days." "What?" I was really afraid of something, and I was so shocked that I almost panicked, "Didn't they say that they will stay in Switzerland for at least two months?" "But Ms. Rachel said that the master was unwell and was admitted to the hospital once. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and he was out of danger. But the master doesn't want to stay in Switzerland any longer, and plans to go home within two days." Mrs. Chen hesitated. , and finally said, "Miss, your appearance..."

"I went to the beauty salon today." Wuyan interrupted her.Really, people with eyes are more careful than Ling Zheng. It seems that Mrs. Chen has already noticed that she is unusual.Seeing Mrs. Chen still lingering at the stairs and refusing to leave, she became suspicious and urged, "Is there anything else?" "Today, my family also called and asked me to go back, but miss, look, the master is coming back soon, so I'm asking for leave at this time..." It turned out to be like this, Wuyan breathed a sigh of relief, didn't even ask the reason, and replied happily and even enthusiastically: "It's okay, I'm here, grandpa will be very surprised to see me when he comes back. Go home, don't worry. "

Sister-in-law Chen was overjoyed, she thanked Miss three times in a row, poured the tea in a jerk, and then took out a big woven bag, and said goodbye to Wuyan.Wuyan frowned: "Why such an ugly bag? Don't you have a suitcase at home? Find one that you don't need right now and use it first." Sister-in-law Chen beamed, "Thank you, miss, but I'm the nanny returning home, and I'm not going abroad. The suitcase is too eye-catching, so it's not peaceful." Wuyan nodded. Ling Zheng went upstairs with Wuyan, and the two sat opposite each other and drank tea slowly, speechless for a while.With Mrs. Chen gone, only him and Wuyan were left in the big Zhong's garden, a lonely man and a widow, under the melon fields and plums.However, Rachel's return to China is imminent, and he can't help being distracted.Although he and Wuyan started after breaking up with Rachel, for some reason, in his heart, he always felt a little sorry for Rachel, and felt that he had to confess his love to Rachel before officially starting with Wuyan.This is why he kept saying "Don't leave me" to Wuyan, but never said "I love you" from beginning to end.

Wuyan's mind is even more complicated, with almost ten thousand thoughts spinning in his mind.After a while, I slowly figured it out. Right now, there are two major things to worry about: one is my grandfather’s health, which is in danger; Facing one's own friend and rival in love, how can one be so embarrassing?Besides, Grandpa knew that he was dead, and maybe Rachel would know too. How messed up would they be when they saw their revived self?can not imagine. Also, do you want to tell Ling Zheng the truth?How to speak?Tell him directly: Actually, I am not a human being, but a resurrected ghost.Can we have this conversation? "Wuyan, you don't seem happy to hear that grandpa is back. Is it because you are worried about your grandfather's health?" Ling Zheng broke the silence, "Rachel will come back with your grandpa. I think I'd better move back to my own place." Well, so as not to be embarrassed." Wuyan stared blankly at Ling Zheng, feeling confused and unable to respond.He said he was going to separate from her, he said he was going away, didn't he?Maybe, maybe we should really separate from Ling Zheng for a little while, just for a little while, let her think about it, think clearly, and re-plan.However, she doesn't have much time, so she can't think about it for too long; but she can't think about it, because if there is an accident, the already limited time will become even shorter.Rachel, wouldn't you even give her this little time? No, I have to re-plan and discuss it with the old ghost.Yes, the old ghost Erlang is her only partner. Old ghost, Erlang. But what Erlang gave Wuyan this night was not support, but a warning. "You shouldn't tell him the truth about the swan," Erlang said. "The one who reveals the secret will die a happy death." "Did you see it?" Wuyan was surprised, "It was broad daylight. Can you walk around during the day?" "You can leave, but you can't make a difference." Erlang looked at Wuyan enviously, "I can't be like you, completely like a normal person." Faceless smile.Isn't it ridiculous that someone envies her? Erlang went on to say, "I've seen that girl before." "Girl? You mean the dancer? By the way, is she a dancer?" "Yes, an excellent ballet dancer, who became famous for dancing "Swan Lake"." Erlang said, "The man was her musician. She had a crush on him, and she died to save him, and turned into a swan after death. That day was She made her stage debut with "Death of the Swan." "Oh my god." Wuyan held his breath.The truth was so close to her guess, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.She was not the only one who gave up her life for what she loved, and the motive of that swan was even nobler and more desireless than hers.She thought for a long time. Erlang would be wrong, thinking that Wuyan was introspecting himself because of his reprimand, so he couldn't help slowing down his tone: "Don't take it too seriously, just pay attention to it in the future. There are rules in the spiritual world, and everyone has endless wishes. The souls who return to the world have a mission, don't disturb them." "They? Are there many souls like me?" Wuyan was surprised, "Why haven't I seen many?" "Much more than you can imagine. But ghosts exist only because of sentient beings, and have nothing but 'feeling', formless, formless, soundless, and colorless. You and that swan are the lucky ones, with flesh and blood The body has images and actions; but most souls, like me, unless you have a personal relationship with each other, you can't see them, and they may not be able to see you. Sometimes, we travel through time and space. They can't sense each other either." "So lonely?" Wuyan sighed.Can't do anything, and don't have all the symbols, but they are affectionate.People in the world often ask "what is love", but it turns out that love is nothing at all.Just like the old ghost, or herself, she died for Ling Zheng and was reborn for Ling Zheng, but this time, she couldn't choose to stay in the world for even one more day.helpless. The word love is so helpless. "Wuyan, you are so young." Erlang praised her, "You look like a rose in the morning." "Even you can see it?" Wuyan said distressedly, "What you see now, Ling Zheng will also see it. How should I explain it to him? Besides, my grandfather is coming back. At that time, he will definitely see it." Dismantled." "Zhong Ziming is coming back?" Erlang became nervous. "Before he comes back, you must find a way to let me enter Zhong's Garden. Otherwise, after he comes back, there will be no chance." "Are you so afraid of him?" "Very scared." The old ghost admitted. "Zhong Ziming's mana is higher than mine, and he is human after all. Everyone is afraid of ghosts, but ghosts are more afraid of people. So, you have to find a way to get Ling Zheng away for a few nights, so that it will be easier for us to move." "He has already decided to leave. He said that Rachel is coming back, and it would be better for him to move back to his own place, and he agreed to leave early tomorrow morning." Wuyan suddenly understood, "Sister-in-law Chen asked me for leave today to go back to the countryside, Did you do it?" "It's very simple. Something happened in her hometown, and she needs to go back to take care of it. Don't forget that I have a lot of ghost friends." The old ghost smiled wickedly and said as if reading a password, "Although people with magic power are better than people with magic power Ghosts are clever, but people without magic power are still easy to be tricked by ghosts with magic power. The evil wind invades and sneaks in. That is our housekeeping skill for haunted ghosts." Then he lifted his spirits and was fascinated, "Wait until tomorrow in the garden You are the only one left, you can help me do some things to get rid of those taboos, I can walk in openly, and I can see with my own eyes the place where Xiaocui lived—since you told me to ask for that photo After the hexagram of "the so-called Yiren is on the side of the water", these days, I have almost gone to all the places with water around Shanghai, but I have no clue at all, so I can only enter Zhong's garden to look for clues." "what should I do?" "The Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is ten feet tall. People have demon-subduing talismans, and ghosts have ghost-painting talismans. The "Golden Steel Sutra" was written on the wall of this courtyard, but you can write another life and death talisman to cover the scriptures. I'll go back to hell later, and fetch the water from the Yellow Spring for you to write scriptures and water your garden. In addition to watering the Yellow Spring water, all the trees in the yard will also be hung with soul-calling streamers to gather Yin Qi; and the furniture in the house The decorations must also be re-arranged, anti-gossip. If it was originally turned inward, you should turn it outward; if it was originally placed facing east, you should turn it west; Face down and feet up, face north and back south..." The old ghost talked endlessly, making gestures and gestures, teaching by word of mouth and example. Wuyan recited the formulas silently, remembering them one by one in his heart.She was blind in the past, and all her homework was taught by Rachel's dictation. She is well-trained and has a very good memory.After working hard like this for most of the night, when the sky was slightly bright, he finally remembered that he was almost inseparable. He only waited for Ling Zheng to leave the yard after dawn, and he returned his physical body, so he could act according to the plan. Erlang was very excited when he thought that he would soon be able to enter Zhong's Garden, and sang in a low voice: "The golden tower is in the evening clouds, and the wind streamers are swaying lightly. But the sound of the bells is dead, and my heart is warm..." These two lines were sung with many twists and turns, which was very emotional, and Wuyan was very sad when he heard it. Dongfang Weixi, Wuyan lowered her head, while reciting the law silently, fearing that she would forget it later, she floated back to the courtyard in a daze. The two hours of yin and yang changing in the morning and evening are the most painful times of the day for her. She can't help herself, she can't keep her mind, it's like a kite with a broken string, swaying without a master, and like petals falling in the wind, unable to float or set. . I can't wait to go back to the house to rest my mind and get through this moment.She looked up suddenly, but saw that the room was brightly lit, Ling Zheng was sitting upright in the hall waiting for her, and immediately asked, "Where have you been?" "Why are you sitting here?" Wuyan was startled, his soul almost flew away, he had to hold the corner of the table to make himself stand still. "The phone kept ringing just now. I knocked on your door, but no one answered, so I had to answer it myself—it was Rachel." "Rachel?" Wuyan was stunned by the accidents one after another, and there was a battle between heaven and man in her body, like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, unable to think, she just repeated blankly, "She called so late?" "Calling from Switzerland, she can't figure out the time difference." Ling Zheng replied slowly, as if it was more difficult than having no face, and even found it difficult to speak, almost slurring every word: "Rachel said, didn't you?" real?" "What did Rachel say?" "She said..." Ling Zheng took a deep breath, staring at Wuyan, his face pale, "She said, you are dead." "She said I was dead." Wuyan whimpered, unable to answer except repeating Ling Zheng's words.She said I was dead.I'm dead.I'm dead.Am I just dead? "Wuyan, what is the misunderstanding?" Ling Zheng urged, looking at the girl in front of him who was as delicate as a flower and as cold as snow, he finally saw something suspicious, "In the past few days, you seem to have been getting younger, as if Time goes backwards. Besides, you are so pale..." "Lingzheng, I was going to tell you, I will explain to you, but I have no chance, I don't know how to say..." Wuyan murmured, her body was on the verge of falling, her inner struggle became more and more intense , no matter how hard she tried to restrain herself, she couldn't concentrate. She almost wanted to beg: let me rest, let me sleep for a while, just for a short while, I will not be able to hold on anymore! Seeing Wuyan's weakness, Ling Zheng instinctively stepped forward to help him, but he couldn't help letting go as soon as he touched Wuyan's body: "Why are you... so cold?" He backed up again and again, and even knocked down the standing lamp behind him. . The light bulb shattered, and Wuyan's heart shattered.Seeing the astonishment on Ling Zheng's face, she felt disheartened and felt that life would be worse than death. He is afraid of her!He is afraid of ghosts!Yes, who can not be afraid?She worked so hard to return to the human world, searching for thousands of times, because she loved him.However, she only got fear.He is afraid of her!Fear, this is something more terrifying than hate.She couldn't bear it anymore, and she couldn't think, she could only confess, flatly, without any emotion, and tell the whole story. "I'm a ghost. Ling Zheng, I was already dead. I was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment after a car crash that day. The doctor tried their best, but they couldn't save me. They only extended my life for a few days. When I woke up, I saw When my mother was crying in front of my bed, I asked her to hide the truth from you. I told her not to tell you that I was dead. I asked her to say that I actually went abroad, but I was actually dead. What you see now , is my ghost." "Ghost? Are there really ghosts?" Ling Zheng almost thought he was dreaming.When I received a call from Rachel just now, when he said that he accepted Wuyan's invitation to temporarily live in Zhongfu, Rachel sneered and said: Are you talking nonsense?Wuyan is already dead.That sentence was like a basin of ice water poured down on the head, no, it was like a huge iceberg, the ice peak that the Titanic hit, enough to bring disaster.It was not clear on the phone, and the long-distance overseas signal was not very good, so Rachel just said in a hurry, "I'll see you when I return to China" and hung up hastily. Ling Zheng stood there blankly for a long while before remembering to look for Wuyan, but he searched the whole house, even the garden, but he couldn't find Wuyan anywhere.In the middle of the night, where will she go?He could only sit in the living room and wait, the more he waited, the more anxious he became, and the more he waited, the more he couldn't help thinking wildly, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought.What is the misunderstanding here? He thought about thousands of possibilities, but the only thing he didn't think about, or even thought about but refused to believe, was that Wuyan was really dead, and what he saw was a ghost!What the hell!How can you believe it? But now, Wuyan stood in front of him alive and said clearly: I am a ghost.Since they are ghosts, why do they break into the human world?He heard his own voice asking, "What are you doing back here?" No, this is not what he wants to say or ask. He doesn't want to accuse her, but he doesn't know what to say or what to ask.What can he say and do in the face of a ghost? Wuyan still used that flat, sad and joyless tone to tell about this yin and yang romance, as if telling someone else's story: "I am a ghost who has returned from the soul, and I have 25 days to come back to see you. It is equal to one year. An old ghost who has been in the underworld for more than 60 years taught me that if I don’t drink Mengpo soup and pass through Naihe bridge, I can retain my memory and return to the world. footprints, and take your soul back to the underworld together, then you can be reincarnated and reborn with you. So, here I am..." "So, you came to kill me?" Ling Zheng was incredulous.There are not only ghosts, but also the underworld, and the cycle of life and death. So, are those legends true?No wonder Wuyan wants to discuss life and death and soul with herself again and again. It turns out that she herself is the person involved, oh no, the ghost involved.He suddenly became angry, so to speak, in the past few days, he has been in love with a ghost!He fell in love with a ghost without realizing it.He was cheated!His most precious and sincere love turned out to be a scam through and through.The lover he fell in love with was a lifeless ghost.He kept asking her not to leave him again, but from the minute she returned to him, she was waiting for separation.She and him have no future at all, no life, they only have 25 days, and then, Yin and Yang will either go different ways, or die together, what kind of love is this?This is a trap at all, it is murder! "You lied to me!" Ling Zheng finally roared, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you lie to me? Why did you make me fall in love with you? Have you ever thought about my feelings? Have you asked for my consent? What Meng Po Tang? What Naihe Bridge? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? A world where there are humans and humans, and a place where ghosts have ghosts. Since you chose to be a ghost, why do you want to break into the realm of humans?" "I didn't think so much, I just wanted to see you again..." Wuyan replied weakly, "Lingzheng, I never thought of harming you, I just wanted to stay with you for a few more days, just a few days , I only have the last 19 days left, after 19 days, I will go back, I never thought of taking your soul away, you believe me..." "I don't believe it!" Ling Zheng yelled, "I can't believe you. From the beginning to the end, from the minute we met at the subway station, you have been lying to me! How can I trust you? I have been at your mercy. Beijing for a while, After a while, you are looking for your footprints, what am I doing? I am confused by you like a fool, and I don’t even know when it’s time to die! I’m such a complete fool!" "Lingzheng..." "Don't call me!" Ling Zheng slammed his hand away, unable to vent his grief and indignation, he felt as if his chest was going to explode, pointed at Wuyan and cursed: "Since you are already dead, why did you come to the world to make trouble again?" ?You died, I have always been very guilty, but I didn’t force you to die, why did you come back to revenge me? Good! You want revenge, don’t you? Come and take my life if you have the ability, but I don’t Will let myself fall in love with you again! Obey you!" "I didn't—" Wuyan grabbed the clothes in front of her chest, her body and mind were torn apart, and her face was distorted in pain. She had died twice before, one was Zhong Wuyan who was hit by a car, and the other was a pale girl lying on the subway track, so she suffered from being run over twice.At this moment, those bumping and crushing pains came back again, and she felt her whole body was torn apart, riddled with holes, and screamed, "Ling Zheng, if you really hate me so much, you really think I'm deceiving you, I'm sorry, but you can just do it and get rid of me. I'll teach you how, you light a candle, circle it around me three times, then throw the candle on me, pass through my body, and call my name three times , I will be out of my wits. If you want to hate me, just do it..." "Stop talking to me like that!" Ling Zheng yelled, "I won't do that! But, I don't want to see you again either! I don't want to be with a ghost, I want to get back my own life, Live like a human!" Ling Zheng slams the door and leaves, Wuyan follows in vain, she wants to call him to stop, but finally fails. He said he wanted to get back his life and live like a human being.He's right, what reason does she have to pester him again? Get your life back.Also including getting Rachel back? Between her and him, there is not only Rachel, but also life and death. She is already dead, she is a dead person, how can she fight with the living again? Even when she was alive, she was not Rachel's opponent, let alone after death? But she and him still had 19 days to get together, and Rachel didn't even give her the last 19 days? She watched him leave, her heart was pierced like a knife, her whole body twitched, and she moaned in pain.Moreover, she was very thirsty, very thirsty, but she didn't have the strength to get up to pour a glass of water, and she couldn't shed a single tear, she just knelt weakly on the ground, unable to hold on any longer, and fell asleep...
