It’s very easy to fill in next time

Another Me

…The fruit knife is placed there, please feel free to cut it yourself.

After Bai Wei finished speaking so calmly, he walked to the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

Gui Die sat on the tatami, raised her hand to hold the fruit knife, her eyes flickered, alternating light and dark.

She looked at Bai Wei’s back, and after confirming that he was really cooking, she raised the knife several times and placed it in front of her throat, her fingertips began to tremble uncontrollably.

She wanted to stab it, but she didn’t dare to do it every time. The deepest time only scratched the skin, and the slight pain made her stop immediately.

Begging to die is a difficult thing. Before being completely disheartened, no one is willing to end life easily and embrace the eternal nothingness.

She had experienced several deaths, and she thought she could take them lightly, but the fact is… She was afraid, she was trembling.

The more times I have experienced death, the more I fear death… The longer I live, the more I fear death.

“Why are you trembling?”

“Why are you afraid?”

She herself couldn’t understand that she could go back to the past just by swinging a knife, and then…

Then?

None of the people on the tram was related to her, they were all strangers.

Why did she have to go back? Why do you have to risk your life for a group of strangers? Why not choose to live well?

The reason for her to swing the knife was not sufficient.

If there were her relatives on the tram, she might force herself to drive the knife down her throat.

After all, they are all strangers, and the pain cannot be felt penetratingly across the distance. Others will express sadness and sympathy, but they cannot empathize.

The fruit knife was put down.

She leaned back on the sofa, her eyes were empty and out of focus, as if she had fallen into chaos.

Bai Wei turned on the light, and the warm light shone on her face. The young man said, “It’s time for dinner, let’s eat first.”

The girl pursed her lips: “I don’t even have an appetite now.”

“People are iron and rice is steel.” Bai Wei shook his head and said, “No matter when and where, being warm is the most basic purpose of life. People in Ming Dynasty like to ask ‘Have you eaten’ in the first sentence of greeting, which is also the reason. .â€

“You are very good at preaching.” Gui Die sat down at the table half-pushing, looking at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks prepared beside her: “Is there anyone else?”

“There’s also my sister and a guest. You don’t have to wait for them. If you’re hungry, you’ll come in.” Bai Wei naturally knew that they would follow them all the way.

Picking up the bowls and chopsticks, the girl looked at the simple dishes, tasted a few mouthfuls, and felt her appetite whetted: “It tastes very good.”

“Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes are not too heavy, but rather light.”

“You call this bland?” She stared at the thick soup, and picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish.

“At least it’s much lighter than Sichuan cuisine. Have you never eaten Ming cuisine?”

“I can’t eat these on weekdays…” She thought for a while: “Hard food.”

“Hey, the family situation is not very good, right?”

“No, it’s my father who is strict.” She replied, “There are requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the taste of food is very plain.”

Bai Wei joked: “A big family? But you don’t look like this, do you?”

Gui Die was noncommittal, and continued to bow her head to savor the food. Warm soup, big mouthfuls of sweet rice, and Ming Dynasty dishes with enough spices and seasonings are not uncommon, but to her, it is indeed a bit strange… Especially in the Under such circumstances, it is also a rare experience to have the heart to eat.

Afterwards, there was only the quiet sound of bowls and chopsticks and chewing. When she put down the bowl, she realized that she was already very full. In the past, she always ate quantitatively, and she seldom satiated herself.

After taking a sip of tea and resting for a quarter of an hour to digest, the young man said, “I’ll take you back.”

Hearing these words, the girl subconsciously tensed her back.

“No, I can go back by myself.” She refused.

“It’s not safe to walk alone at night.”

“It’s okay.” She shook her head and said, “I can protect myself, you have to return Xiaodou Changguang to me.”

Bai Wei pointed to the entrance, where everything was placed on the cabinet.

“Thank you… for your interruption.” She politely exited the door.Bai Wei sent her to the door and asked casually, “Did you buy this knife?”

“On credit… what’s wrong?”

“May I borrow it?” Bai Wei asked.

Gui Die handed the knife forward, and then saw the young man tap on the middle of the knife handle with his fingers, a metal button fell off, and the yellow paper tied to the knife handle also fell off.

“This knife is not Xiaodou Changguang, because…” Bai Wei picked up the yellow paper and glanced at it. He hesitated to speak: “Forget it, let’s go all the way.”

…

The girl walked alone under the moonlight, and no one followed her.

After a while, the sound of a crow came to her ears. She looked back, but there was no sign of a crow.

“What are you doing!” it screamed angrily, “You screwed up!”

Gui Die looked calm: “This is an external cause of force majeure, there is no other way, at least this time.”

“This time? Do you think there are so many chances?” The crow shouted, “You idiot!”

“No matter how angry you are, the situation is irreversible.” The girl said, “That’s it. I don’t want to argue with you. Besides, I’m going home too.”

“Go home?” Crow sneered, “Do you still have a home to go back to? Nishino-kun.”

“But I also said that I am not Nishino.”

The crow sneered, the sound stopped coming, and when she turned her head, she saw the black crow flapping its wings on the street lamp. There was no noisy sound, and she was able to move on.

After nightfall, the journey became smoother, and the followers of the evil god seemed to have disappeared without appearing in front of her again.

The journey was smooth and smooth. After walking for more than two hours, she finally found the door of the house.

The door painted with black paulownia paint was closed tightly, as always, as a matter of course.

The courtyard wall was nearly three meters high. She looked around, but couldn’t find any stones to step on, but it didn’t bother her. She found an old tree in the southeast direction. Part of the branches were higher than the courtyard wall, and no one built it. , She tied the bag of the ancient knife to the branch as a rope, stepped on the wall, easily climbed over the courtyard wall, and bent over through various obstacles through the courtyard.

…

“Missy hasn’t said much today.”

“That’s right, you also kept silent at the banquet and didn’t say anything. Are you not very happy?”

“I wouldn’t be too happy if I changed it. Everything is decided by the Patriarch. We haven’t heard of it beforehand. Suddenly… if Mr. Hua is still alive.”

“Shh, don’t talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard.”

“Missy didn’t eat at noon, and she didn’t eat at night. If this continues, her body will be starved to death.”

The whispers of the servants gradually faded away.

Gui Die pursed her lips. She didn’t know what would happen today. When she woke up, she was already in the park.

I only know that my father made me prepare last night, but I don’t know what will happen, but it seems that what happened is not a good thing.

The front door was locked. She didn’t dare to push the door hard, so she went around the outside of the house and tried to open the window. She succeeded, and the window was not locked.

Entering the room through the window, black clouds obscured the moonlight, and the room was completely pitch black, with no one to be seen.

She stood where she was, leaning against the wall, trying to hide under the cabinet. At this moment, the moon pierced through the clouds and shed moonlight.

Sitting on the edge of the bed in the center of the room was a figure, her gaze was falling on the young girl impartially.

The eyes of the two intersected for a moment.

Guidie’s heart beat uncontrollably and violently, and the clear beating sound hit the eardrum.

This is her home, but she is an outsider now. If someone else is called, it will be difficult for her to escape and it will be difficult for her to explain clearly.

“You…” The woman beside the bed spoke.

The girl’s whole body tensed up, and she even made plans to break through the window and escape.

Surprisingly, the other party didn’t yell at her, but looked at her seriously: “Who are you?”

“Me?” The girl gritted her teeth and asked seriously, “I want to ask you more, who are you! Is your name Junko Nishino!”

“Who am I?” The woman lowered her head, also puzzled: “I don’t know, it seems that I have forgotten, I have forgotten many things, my identity, and my origin.”

“Forgot?” Guidie’s tone revealed a bit of anger: “How can you forget!”

“Why are you angry?” The other party asked strangely.

“Of course I will be angry! You…”

Just as she was about to speak, her whole body froze suddenly. Amber outlines appeared in the woman’s eyes, which were inhuman pupils.

When stared at by these eyes, there is a feeling of being stared at by a predator, and the whole body trembles.

Fortunately, she didn’t stare for too long, she calmly looked away.

Gui Die’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she leaned against the window in fear. She felt that the soul in this body did not belong to human beings at all.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” The woman didn’t pay attention to the girl’s small movements, but said calmly: “The curse on your body is about to explode, no wonder you’re angry, you won’t live long.”

“Curse?” The girl’s expression was stiff. When did she get cursed?

“Yeah, the curse, it’s wrapped around your heart, and after three hours, your heart will stop beating.”
