Ye Jiaqi and I changed seats, and I drove the car. I asked again: "So, what did Brother Meng and his father tell you after they found you?" "I think you have heard everything about their negotiations with me. They want me to go back with him, and they have repeatedly said that if I get married, I will definitely die. They don't want me to die either. They can't figure it out either." I said, "In this way, things are getting more and more strange. I don't believe in such a thing at all, and I'm glad you don't believe it, Jiaqi!" Ye Jiaqi said happily, "We are good friends after all!" I have already said that I was very young at that time, and Ye Jiaqi was the same.In our young thoughts, there is a very naive concept, that is, we think that human science can explain all phenomena!

If there is something that science cannot explain, then they think it is unscientific, violates science, cannot exist, and is false. It was not until later, after experiencing many things, that I realized that when there are things that science cannot explain, those are because human knowledge is still too poor, and science is still too backward. It's just a pity that when I knew this, it was already a long, long time later, and even the feeling of regret became dull after a long time. When it was daylight, we arrived in Shanghai. I drove the car straight into the Hongqiao Nursing Home and found a first-class ward for Ye Jiaqi. At noon that day, famous doctors gathered to have a consultation with Ye Jiaqi.The consultation didn't end until the evening.

After the consultation, a famous German doctor patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your friend is extremely healthy. After all the doctors who examined him today have died, he must still be alive!" After hearing such words, I am naturally very happy, but I still have doubts in my heart. I said: "But, doctor, I have personally seen him go mad. He was originally a very weak person, but when he went mad, his strength was extraordinary. Moreover, his behavior towards himself also reached the limit." absolutely irresponsible." The expert spread his hands: "Impossible—according to the results of our inspection, it is impossible."

I smiled wryly: "Doctor, then I can't be joking with you, right?" The expert pondered for a while, and then said: "Then, the only possibility is that he was hypnotized before he went crazy, and the hypnotist used his fear of a certain thing to cause his temporary nervous activity to be unaffected by the brain center." Control, this is the only possibility." The expert's words made my heart suddenly light up! In Ye Jiaqi's narration, I heard that although he didn't believe Brother Meng's words, his fear was unavoidable. It must be that he had fear in his heart first, and that Brother Meng and his father had done some tricks, so Ye Jiaqi was intermittently insane.

This made me very angry. I thought these Miao people were really disgusting. I went into the ward and told Ye Jiaqi the results of the consultation and the opinion of the German expert. Finally, I said: "Jiaqi, let's hurry back to Suzhou and give those two guys a good lesson." After hearing my words, Ye Jiaqi felt very relaxed. He said excitedly: "This German psychiatrist is right. Although I don't believe Brother Meng's words, his words make me feel scared all the time!" I said: "That's it, these two Miao people, I want them to spend a few years in prison before going back to Yunnan!"

Talking and laughing, we left the nursing home that day, returned to Suzhou that night, and rushed straight to the small hotel. However, when I went to the hotel and asked, brother Meng and his father had already left early this morning, and it was the staff who sent them on the train to go south. I counted, they walked for a day, if we chase them down with a plane, we can catch them, and considering the wealth of the Ye family, it is easy to hire a small plane. I immediately put forward my opinion, but Ye Jiaqi hesitated: "Isn't this a big deal?" I hurriedly said: "No, only after you catch the two of them will the shadow in your heart be cleared!"

Ye Jiaqi smiled and said, "Since I listened to the German doctor's analysis, I no longer have any shadows in my heart. Look, what is the difference between me and before? Why bother with those two Miao people?" I put my hands on his shoulders and looked at him carefully for a while, and felt that he was fine, so we laughed together. When we walked into the Ye family's mansion together, Ye Jiaqi and I saw Mrs. Ye together, the old lady also felt that Ye Jiaqi was different from when Shi Shi was ill. In the next few days, although I was a guest, due to the extraordinary relationship between me and Ye Jiaqi, there were many things, and the servants came to ask me and beg me to make a decision. everything.

The arrangements and prosperity of this wedding are really indescribable, and there are so many trivial matters that people are too busy to turn their heads. Ye Jiaqi has always been no different from ordinary people. The empty house of the Ye family was full of relatives and friends, and Ye Jiaqi and I have been living in the same room. The night before the wedding, we didn't sleep until midnight. After falling asleep, I was already very tired, and I was about to fall asleep almost immediately, but Ye Jiaqi suddenly said: "If Ba Zhu really got a Gu, then I will die the morning after tomorrow!"

I froze for a moment, half sleepy, I said disapprovingly: "Jiaqi, what are you talking about?" Ye Jiaqi was lying on the ground with his hands as a pillow, and he could hear my nervousness. He couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, you seem to be more nervous than me. Now I don't have any fear in my heart!" I can't help but feel amused by my nervousness: "Go to sleep, I don't know how long the trouble will last tomorrow, don't you have enough energy to deal with it?" Ye Jiaqi laughed. He smiled very easily and happily. This is the mood a groom should have, especially his bride, who he has always liked very much. Thinking of the beautiful scenery of the newlyweds in the future, he naturally feels relaxed happy.

He lay down and soon fell asleep. The next day, it was even more busy, all kinds of people poured in like a tide. The Ye family's mansion is already big enough, so big that Ye Jiaqi and I, two fearless boys, dare not wander around at night, but at this time, we can only see people everywhere. In the hall, on the aisle, on the pavilion in the garden, in all the places where banquets can be held, all banquets are held, and important people are naturally arranged in the hall. People, like shuttles, come and go among the guests. In the auspicious afternoon, when the bride's car arrived, it was the climax of the wedding. I walked out with the groom, and there were three beauties who accompanied the bride to the car. Who are they? I can't figure it out, I just think they are all bright and beautiful.

For weddings that are half-new and not old, kowtow is canceled and bowed instead, but after an afternoon, just bowing is enough for the bride and groom. At night, the lights were brightly lit, the voices of people were loud, and the sound of blowing and blowing was endless. I almost felt my head bursting. I finally took a moment and came to the back garden, next to an ancient tree near the Daxian Temple, leaning against it. The tree sat down. The whole house is full of people, only next to the Daxian Temple, which is very deserted, and I can breathe a sigh of relief. The place is not only very quiet, but also very dark. The so-called Great Immortal Temple is where the Fox Immortal is sacrificed. It is only a small room, which can accommodate two or three people to go in and kowtow. The door of the temple is locked, which looks very mysterious . Not long after I sat down, I was about to take the opportunity to take a nap, because I knew that when it got dark, those guests would "attack" the bride and groom after they were full of wine and food. "of. I closed my eyes, and when I was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard footsteps coming. I immediately opened my eyes wide, and saw a woman walking slowly forward in the darkness. Come. I was taken aback. What's ridiculous is that my first reaction was that I thought it was the fox fairy who appeared, because the fox fairy usually appears as a woman. However, when the woman came to me, I also thought it was funny, it was Ye Jiamin, and she obviously didn't know that I was here, so she just walked forward on her own. I thought to myself, if I made a sound at this time, it would definitely startle Ye Jiamin, so I didn't make a sound. I sat close to the tree trunk, and the branches and leaves under the tree covered it, even the twilight of the stars and the moon, and it was even darker. Ye Jiamin passed in front of me and didn't see me. I didn't make a sound when I saw her, because I was afraid that she would be surprised, but after she walked past me, I became very curious. I thought to myself: Her family is having such a big happy event, why does she sneak here instead of joining in the fun? I also thought that when I arrived on the first day, Ye Jiamin asked me to meet her in the West Garden, but she was chased back by the fourth aunt, and I didn't see her.Afterwards, I asked her several times why she invited me to the West Garden, but she hesitated and didn't answer me. The girl's mind is the most fickle, so I didn't take it to heart.But at this time, I found her attitude very suspicious. I followed her whereabouts to see what she was doing. Seeing that she came to the outside of the Great Immortal Temple, she stopped, and instead of pushing the door to go in, she threw herself on the door and began to cry. This surprised me even more. Today is her brother's wedding day. Why did she hide in such a remote corner and start crying? She kept crying, crying for a full ten minutes, and my drowsiness was all gone by her crying, and then she gradually stopped crying, but said to herself with sobs: "Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to do this?" I couldn't bear it anymore and stood up: "Jia Min, what are you doing?" I stood up suddenly and made a sudden noise, which obviously frightened Ye Jiamin greatly. She slammed backwards, knocked open the door of the Great Immortal Temple, and fell in. I hurried over, the Great Immortal Temple was lit with ever-burning lamps, under the dim light, I saw Ye Jiamin fell to the ground pale with tears on his face. I quickly helped her up, and said apologetically, "Jia Min, I scared you, didn't I?" Seeing that it was me, Ye Jiamin let out another "wow" and started to cry.I hurriedly said, "You've grown up, why are you still crying?" Ye Jiamin started to raise his head, and said: "Brother Wei family, big brother... big brother... is going to die, so I feel very sad." I hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, today is his good day, your fourth aunt heard what you said, she might not allow you to see people!" Ye Jiamin wiped away her tears, and she said very seriously: "It's true, Brother Wei, that's true, I already knew about the big brother, and I wanted to tell you the day you first arrived, you guys I thought he was healed, but I knew he couldn't escape." I was surprised and amused at the same time: "How do you know? What do you know?" Ye Jiamin said seriously: "I know, because I saw Bazhu." As soon as I heard the two words of Bazhu, I couldn't help but jump up.That proves that she really knows everything, otherwise, how could she be able to name "Bazhu"? And she also knew everything, of course it was Ballu who told her. I immediately thought that Bazhu was just a Miao girl with no sense of law. Would she come to make trouble on Ye Jiaqi's wedding night, and even murder Ye Jiaqi? When I thought about it, I felt that the matter was not trivial, and I couldn't help shivering cleverly, and hurriedly said: "Jia Min, where did you meet her? Tell me, tell me quickly!" Ye Jiamin said: "A month earlier, when I was in school, I met a very beautiful girl, that girl was Bazhu, she told me everything, she only learned Chinese after meeting her eldest brother, and now she speaks very well, she Said, if elder brother marries another woman, he will surely die the next morning." I said in a deep voice, "Do you believe it?" Ye Jiamin said without hesitation: "I believe it." I said again, "Why do you believe it?" Ye Jiamin was stunned for a moment: "I can't say why I came here, maybe it was the way Bazhu spoke, I believe that everything she said was the truth, she wanted me to persuade elder brother, but as soon as I spoke to elder brother, I immediately The elder brother blocked her back. She said, her father and elder brother also came, but naturally they couldn't persuade the elder brother, elder brother of the Wei family, why didn't you persuade him? " I shook my head and said, "Jia Min, tell me, where is she? There will be no spells in the world that can cause people to die under the prophecy, unless she is ready to kill the person she predicted will die." Ye Jiamin looked at me in surprise, and said, "What do you mean by that?" I said: "Does it need to be said? If your eldest brother is going to die, then she must be the murderer. Tell me, where is she?" Ye Jiamin was stunned for a while: "She lives outside Changmen, in the stable of our family. I took her there. Next to the stable, there is a row of houses that have long been unoccupied—" I didn't wait for her to finish, and said: "I see, you go back quickly, don't show any panic, I'll go find her!" Ye Jiamin looked at me: "What's the use of going to her?" I immediately said: "At least, I can prevent her from messing around and causing trouble!" Ye Jiamin lowered her head: "But she said that she doesn't need to cause trouble. She had already cast a gu when the eldest brother left her, and the eldest brother will definitely not be able to escape her grasp." I laughed, but I found that my laughter was very forced.However, I still said: "Don't stop me, and don't tell others that I went to her. I believe that as long as I go to her, it will definitely make your elder brother's big troubles into small ones, and small things into nothing." Ye Jiamin sighed quietly and nodded. I walked out with her, and we broke up when we reached a place with people. I told her a few more words, and then I came to the kitchen.At this time, the busiest person is the cook. There was a steady stream of people in the kitchen, I squeezed my way in, and no one noticed, I went through the kitchen, and went out by the little door at the back, and soon after I was out I was in the street, stopped a carriage, Going straight to the Ye family's stable outside Changmen, the groom of that carriage, when he heard that I was going to the Ye family's stable, showed a very frightened expression on his face. I know the reason why he was terrified was because the area was so desolate. So I said: "Whenever you dare not go forward, just stop the car, it doesn't matter." The coachman was overjoyed and drove the car straight to Changmen. He stopped shortly after leaving the city gate, and I had to go on foot. When I was in my house, the sky seemed to be extraordinarily dark. So, when I looked forward, I only saw a row of dark houses without any light at all. It was so gloomy that even I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I gradually approached the row of houses. I didn't know which room Bazhu was in. After thinking about it, I called out: "Bazhu! Bazhu!" I yelled a few times, but when my voice quieted down, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the chill in my heart became more and more serious. I coughed loudly a few times, and with courage, I said again: "Bah!" Zhu? Are you there? Jia Min called me here." Sure enough, as soon as I said those words, I heard a faint voice behind me, saying, "Who are you?" The voice came from behind me suddenly, which really startled me, and I turned around quickly. Just at this time, the dark clouds moved and the moonlight came out. I looked at Bazhu and saw Bazhu under the moonlight. At that time, I really didn't know how long I stayed there. I was really stunned. From seeing her to now, I have never seen a more beautiful woman than her. Her beauty is unique, she is obviously wearing Ye Jiamin's clothes, her face is very pale, it looks like a piece of white jade, her face shape is like a dream, after people look at it, it seems that they are in a dream, And he can pour out all the secrets and all the feelings in his heart to her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that I felt a strong love for her the moment I saw her.Moreover, I kept scolding Ye Jiaqi in my heart, what kind of fool Ye Jiaqi is! It was at this moment that I realized that although Ye Jiaqi and I were so speculative, we were fundamentally different.He can bear to leave a girl like Bazhu. I am confident that for Bazhu, I can sacrifice everything—if Bazhu has the same feelings for me as she does for Ye Jiaqi. After a long time, I said in a voice that I could hardly hear myself: "You, Bazhu?" I have never been such a soft-spoken person, but at this moment, there seemed to be a very magical power that prevented me from speaking loudly. She also spoke, her voice was indescribably beautiful, she said: "I, Bazhu." I almost forgot why I came to see her. I thought she might be the murderer, so I came to stop her from committing the murder, but in fact, she is such a fairy-like person! I said again: "I am a good friend of Ye Jiaqi." As soon as she heard Ye Jiaqi's name, a strange light appeared in her eyes. I couldn't tell whether the light in her eyes was due to her happiness or tears from her sadness. I hurriedly said again: "Bazhu, don't be sad." I don't know why I suddenly said such a sentence, but at that time, I really became very clumsy, and I became inexplicable even when I spoke. As soon as I said it, Bazhu's tears gushed out big and big, and I was even more at a loss. I wanted to tell her not to cry, but I knew why she was crying, so my tongue seemed to be tied up. , opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say a word.She obviously didn't want to cry in front of a stranger, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears, but even though she kept wiping away, the tears still kept coming out. At this time, I said another stupid thing that was so angry that I wanted to slap myself after I said it, and I said: "Don't wipe your tears, I... I like to see you cry." However, unexpectedly, my words made her look at me strangely, and her tears gradually stopped. I breathed a sigh of relief, and she asked again: "You... What did Jiamin ask you to come to me?" Her Yunnan-accented Chinese is still very blunt, but after I heard it, I just spread my hands and smiled funnyly. Afterwards, I remembered that fortunately, Bazhu had never been to a circus, otherwise, she would definitely Thought I was a clown. She sighed and lowered her head: "Did Jia Min ask you to come and accompany me because she was afraid that I would be alone?" It is unreasonable to ask a strange man to accompany a woman who has never met.But at this time, Bazhu had already found a reason for me to come to see her, so I naturally wished for it, so I nodded my head.Bazhu stayed still for a long while, then slowly took two steps away, and said quietly, "Is...is his bride beautiful?" I said: "The bride is very beautiful, but compared to you, you are...you are..." This is not the first time I have faced a beautiful woman, but in the past, when I faced a beautiful woman, I could always find appropriate adjectives to praise the beauty of the other party. But at this time, I couldn't think of an appropriate adjective. The bunch of words and sentences that came to my mind, such as "fairy in the sky" and "pure lily", all became waste. Can I get ballet?Can't, a thousand can't! She waited for me for a long time, and when she saw that I couldn't speak, she picked up: "But I was forgotten by him, poor bride, I... didn't intend to harm her, and she has a heartless husband, or I would rather not be as good as my husband." I smiled awkwardly: "What do you mean by that?" Bazhu spoke word by word, strangely, her voice was unusually calm, she said: "Because when the sun rises tomorrow, he will die, because he left me." I felt an extreme chill because Ballju spoke so seriously, and the look in her eyes when she said this is something I will never forget. This kind of look shocked my heart, and made me believe that she did have a magical power to punish Ye Jiaqi, and this punishment is death! I stayed for a while: "He...does he have to die?" Bazhu said slowly: "Unless he abandons his bride and comes to my side, but, will he?" At this time, when I first saw Bazhu, the dreamlike feeling was no longer so strong, and I also remembered that the purpose of my coming to see her was for Ye Jiaqi. And at this time, I heard her say that again, so I hurriedly asked: "So, you mean, you can save him and keep him from dying?" However, after hearing my words, Ballu shook her head again. This really confuses me, so I hurriedly said, "Then what's going on? You tricked him──?" "Yes," Bazhu replied, "I played a heart attack, and only he can save himself. When his heart is toward me, he will be fine, but when his heart turns his back on me, he will be safe." must die." "That's ridiculous!" I couldn't help shouting. "You don't understand it, and none of us understand it except ourselves, but it's true." Bazhu was still talking quietly. I tried my best to calm myself down. Ballju's words were unbelievable because they were too ridiculous. However, as Ye Jiaqi said, the tone and demeanor of Bazhu's speech has a strong appeal, making people believe the impossible. I stayed for a moment, and then said: "Then, what is Gu, what exactly is Gu, can you tell me?" Bazhu opened her eyes wide and looked at me. After a while, she said, "I don't know what to say." I didn't think she was putting me off, or refusing to tell me.As she said, she didn't know what to do. Maybe she couldn't express the meaning in Chinese, or maybe it was something that couldn't be expressed in language at all. However, I still asked: "So, according to what you said, you got a Gu, doesn't it mean that you put something into Ye Jiaqi's body, doesn't it?" Ballu frowned: "It can be said to be yes, but it can also be said to be no. I just showed him some things and let him smell them, and then it was done." I hurriedly said, "What did you show him? Can you show me too? Let me see it too." Bazhu raised her face and looked at me: "It's ok, but after you saw it or smelled it, you've also been bewitched by me." I couldn't help feeling a chill, and for a moment, I really wanted to take back my request just now. But Bazhu continued: "From now on, you must never change your heart towards the person you love, let alone abandon the person you once loved and marry another woman, otherwise, you will die." I heard her say this, but my heart was settled, because I am confident that I don't love a woman, if I love a woman, then my love will never change. I smiled and said, "Show me." I looked at me for a while, and sighed: "You come with me." She turned and walked away, and I followed her. After a while, I walked into a very dilapidated room. In the room, a vegetable oil lamp was lit, and a blanket was placed on the floor. and a small rattan box. Bazhu squatted down and opened the rattan box. With the dim light, I saw that inside the rattan box were all big and small boxes made of bamboo silk in different shapes. Those bamboo boxes were very beautifully woven, and had eye-catching patterns and colors. Ballu took out a round box from among them. The box was about two inches high and about five inches in diameter. The bamboo thread had turned red, with a blue pattern on it, a man and a woman.Bazhu held the box in her hand, her expression was very solemn, and she was muttering something in her mouth. She might be chanting a spell, but I couldn't understand it. Then, she slowly handed the box in front of me, and raised her head: "I was just asking the Gu God to bless you, and you will get a satisfactory person in the future." Lover, don't worry, as long as you don't change your mind, it will be absolutely harmless." It is really hard for me to imagine that there is any mysterious thing in this small bamboo box, which can use the changes in a person's mind to control a person's life and death, so I am also very nervous. Bazhu's left hand held the bamboo box, which was only five or six inches away from the tip of my nose. Her right hand slowly raised up, and with a very beautiful gesture, she opened the bamboo box cover. I quickly looked into the bamboo box. When I first saw it, I almost laughed out loud because there was nothing in the bamboo box, it was empty! However, just when I wanted to laugh out loud, a strong fragrance suddenly came in from my nostrils, which made me stunned.Then, I also saw clearly that the box was not empty! In the lower part of the bamboo box, there is something, moreover, that thing is still moving, it is a living thing! I really don't know what's in this bamboo box, and in the next twenty years, I have consulted countless knowledgeable experts, but I still can't find the answer. It was a mass of dark red. Its shape was just like a human heart, and its movement was just like the beating of a human heart. Moreover, its color was gradually changing from dark red to bright red. , it looks like blood is about to drip. After I saw it clearly, I was sure that it was a bird's heart, but why was this bird's heart beating like life in the bamboo box? My eyes were so wide open that I barely blinked at the incredible spectacle before me. Then, I saw two strands of very thin filaments slowly coming out of it, twisting and dancing like snakes under the sound of a piper's flute.I have never seen such a strange sight in my life, I was completely stunned! After about two minutes, Bazhu closed the lid of the box, and my sanity finally recovered.I smiled wryly: "What exactly did you show me just now?" Baju spoke a sentence in Miao language with very strange syllables. Of course I didn't understand, so I asked again, "What does that mean?" Ballu shook her head at me: "I don't know how to say it." I sniffed harder, and the strange scent that was still in my nose just now had disappeared.Could it be that after two minutes like this, I can no longer change my mind about the woman I love? I still didn't quite believe it, and at this moment, the sound of a rooster crowing came from afar. As soon as she heard the crowing of the rooster, Bazhu's body suddenly trembled, her face became extremely ugly, she looked at me: "The rooster is crowing, it's too late!" I knew she was referring to Ye Jiaqi, so I said, "The crowing of the rooster is also related to his life?" My words were not answered, she burst into tears suddenly, she was crying so sadly, her back was facing me, I only saw her back twitching constantly. I tried my best to persuade her not to cry, but to no avail.She didn't stop crying until the first ray of dawn shot into the dilapidated house, her eyes were very red and swollen. She whispered: "You can go back, your good friend, he, he is dead." Her words reminded me of the purpose of visiting her.I came to see her because I was afraid that she would go to Ye Zhai to cause trouble. Although my concept of her changed a lot after seeing her, my purpose of monitoring her was finally achieved. I've been with her all the time, she can't go to Ye's house to make trouble.She said that Ye Jiaqi was dead, it might be because her nerves are not quite normal, I still don't believe it. So I nodded and said: "Okay, I'm leaving, but I will come to see you, you'd better not wander around." Ballju sighed softly and didn't answer me. I stood still and stared at her for a while, then turned around and walked out. When I got to the main road, I stopped a carriage and went back to Ye's house.When I faced the morning sun and was blown by the morning wind, I had a feeling that this matter was completely settled. Of course, Bazhu is a weak person who has been harmed. If it is said that she has the magical power to make the person who harmed her die, until now, I still don’t believe it. It’s incredible.
