Chapter 50 Section Fourteen

The dance between Yan Guxing and Lan Yueer lasted until the day when the maple leaves on the embankment were covered with red. The lingering dance steps bloomed brilliant flowers in the heaven in their hearts, but the soil under their feet was barren.Everything has two sides: good and evil, light and dark, worldly and ghostly.Once the balance is lost, hell also blooms blood-red flowers, resisting the stars in the sky.Lecheng has changed, and the misty air carries a rotten smell. The stories recorded in Beibei's "Drunken Truth Book" are more absurd than ever. People no longer know themselves, and can only pour forgotten spirits on their desolate hearts.

One night, Dan Mengsan played the lyre vigorously facing the red house with parrot green chimney on the Fangxin Bridge, and a string broke suddenly at the peak of the music's soaring. On the day when the strings broke, the most singing birds in the mansion of "Officer My Love Song" flew away and never came back, forgetting that their master had pampered them with pearls and nectar. In the brothel on Maple Leaf Street, clients and prostitutes play vampire games: clients dress up as blood-sucking clowns, chasing prostitutes who strip off their clothes and laugh and scream. "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" cried the old monk from the altar of the church.

A liquor store on the main street held a "cherry wine drinking contest" for publicity.This game is like a lively carnival, people come from all over to participate in the competition.The contestants hung a bib around their necks, and they had to drink three catties of kirsch in the shortest possible time.Miao Ni, Miao Ye and the little drummer on board successfully entered the final. "Come on!" The singers, dancers and musicians cheered for them from the audience. As soon as the bell rang, the twenty contestants raised their barrels and drank desperately. The blood-red kirsch poured out from the corners of their mouths, staining their teeth and the bibs around their necks red.

Myuni drank too fast, and halfway through the drink, her stomach distended, and she fell on the stage and moaned. They hurriedly carried her back to the swan boat. "I only loved one person in my life, and he died. I hate lions!" She held Miao Ye's hand and said drunkenly, thinking that she would die. After hiccupping for seventeen days, Myuni miraculously survived.Until a long time later, the teeth were still red, as if they had drunk blood. Women in the city flocked to Grannu's "Red Tassel" to buy forget-me-not collars to keep their husbands and lovers from getting lost at carnivals, or to sneak off to Maple Street to play vampires with whores game.Ge Nunu sold many collars, with a strange and complicated expression under the red veil.

On the day of the final of the "Cherry Wine Drinking Contest", a charming woman led her red-lipped and white-toothed lover into the maple forest with a forget-me-not collar.The two smiled provocatively at each other, and suddenly, the two bodies burst open at the same time, and two black figures crawled out of it, one of whom was still wearing the forget-me-not collar.It turned out that they were evil spirits, pretending to be human beings, but they were not like real people at all, just like wax figures. A strange wind blew up, and a huge black figure struggled out from the root knots of a maple tree.Another black shadow jumped out from between the maple leaves, and several other black shadows slowly emerged from the ground.These black shadows gathered in the maple forest sometimes swell, sometimes shrink, sometimes look like wolves, sometimes like birds, sometimes sing, sometimes dance, talking about the decisive battle in the cherry orchard.

"The queen wins!" said the spirit wearing the forget-me-not collar. "The wizard split the evil spirit in two," said the wolf-shaped evil spirit, still angry. "But the queen killed the wizard," said a bird-like ghost, flapping its wings. "The queen is indeed the daughter of the god king." An evil humanoid applauded. "The queen has revived the vampire dynasty!" a horse-like ghost stood up on its heels and screamed. The bones under the cherry tree trembled, and the evil spirits in the maple forest cheered.The karaoke hall is full of seats every night, and Lan Yueer sings a forgotten song. People have too many things they want to forget.The eldest mother has earned countless money, but her halo eyes are not happy, as if she also smells the smell of corruption.One quiet night, she wore a purple tulle skirt, left the cabin, came to the deck, closed her eyes and took a long breath, turned over and jumped into the river, the river water had circular ripples and folds, she Dive into the river bed at a depth of 100 meters to swim.She turned around, smiling, singing there.Suddenly, she saw a willow-green ghost swimming towards her, as if she heard her singing.He was wearing blue clothes, and his face was a little hazy in the water.

"Berry." He called her, his voice echoing at the bottom of the river. "Qingqing, we meet again." When she spoke, a long string of foam spit out from her mouth, and there was light around her eyes. "The breath on the shore is uncomfortable, I don't know what's wrong." She floated in the water and sighed to him, "If it was a long time ago, I would know what the problem is, but unfortunately, I am only a human being now .” Liu Seqingqing looked at her deeply, with no surprise on her face. "You already know?" She spit out some foam from her mouth.

He nodded and smiled at her. "I thought I could trick you." She smiled.Between heaven and earth, Liu Seqingqing may be the person who knows her best. "The stack of manuscripts..." he said slowly. "Oh, there are many things I don't understand and I want to ask you." She said with foam in her mouth. "There is a prescription in the posthumous manuscript..." he said with foam flying from his mouth. "Prescription?" She pushed back her floating hair with both hands and asked him in surprise. "In case something happens, that prescription can protect you." He spit out a string of foam, suspended in front of her.

"What page?" she asked. He can't say.He wanted to swim to hug her, but he was a ghost and couldn't hug her like he did in life. "What will happen to me? Qingqing, what do you want to say?" She turned over and wanted to swim in front of him, but there seemed to be something blocking them. He couldn't tell her.He is no match for vampires, and the death of a ghost is more terrifying than the death of a living person, but he will stop at nothing to protect his lover.
