Chapter 160 A Life That Cannot Be Measured
In an instant, Ge Hao thought of Aunt Li's instructions when he went out in the morning, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Li Meng, are you awake? My name is Ge Hao, and I'm the neighbor who lives next door to you. Your mother went out in the morning and will not be back until the evening, so she asked me to keep an eye on you!"
As soon as the words fell, the noise in the room immediately disappeared, as if the people inside had fallen asleep again.
[Why is it the same as the rules? 】
[This Li Meng is also quite strange. How come she has no reaction at all when encountering such a thing? ]
Ge Hao scratched his head, opened the window, leaned on the windowsill, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
【Dude, smoke less! 】
Ge Hao lit up his lighter irritably: "I didn't want to smoke originally, but this matter has been bothering me recently, and I simply can't bear not to smoke!"
However, before the fire could light the cigarette, the glass window that Ge Hao had opened suddenly slammed shut. If he had not stepped back quickly, the window would have almost pinched his head!
Then, the heavy curtains that were half opened were pulled shut tightly, and the living room fell into darkness again!
【what's the situation? 】
[Ge Hao, what did you do? ]
Ge Hao held a cigarette in his hand and said in a horrified voice: "This was not done by me!"
Squeak!
There was the sound of a wooden door slowly opening behind me.
Ge Hao turned his head mechanically and saw that the door of the room facing north was open, and a figure about 1.4 meters tall was standing there quietly!
She was wearing a white dress, and judging by the wrinkles, it seemed like it was made of paper!
Looking up further, I saw a strange, pale face and a pair of dark eyes.
[Fuck, it’s a paper man, it’s really a paper man! ]
【Is this Li Meng? 】
[So Ge Hao was not wrong before? ]
[Since it is a paper figure, why did Aunt Li want Ge Hao to watch over it? What is her purpose? ]
[Ge Hao, be careful, it's holding a pair of scissors! ]
As soon as the barrage was sent out, the paper man standing at the bedroom door moved.
It was clearly a drawn face, but in the eyes of everyone, it looked full of anger!
Ge Hao was so scared that he ran away, but when he reached the door, he found that the front door had been locked at some point and he couldn't open it at all!
"Anchor, save me!"
Ge Hao screamed, dodged the scissors that were stabbing at him, and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Meng seemed to have no intention of letting Ge Hao go. She continued to stab at Ge Hao with the scissors until she forced Ge Hao into a corner with no way to retreat!
As Li Meng raised the scissors high in her hand, the sunlight shining through the gap in the curtains shone strangely on Li Meng's paper face, and the front door was suddenly opened from the outside!
"Meng Meng, don't!"
The person who came turned out to be Aunt Li who had returned!
But Li Meng seemed to turn a deaf ear to Aunt Li's words. She raised the scissors and brought them down fiercely. Just when Ge Hao thought he was dead, the scissors stabbed the cigarette box that had fallen beside him at some point.
【? 】
[Didn’t Li Meng want to kill Ge Hao? ]
【Scared me! 】
Aunt Li walked quickly forward and hugged the paper man Li Meng in her arms, muttering words like "don't be afraid".
Ge Hao was still in shock. He was breathing heavily and looking back and forth between Li Meng and the cigarette box!
"Aunt Li, what is going on?" Ge Hao asked after he had recovered.
Aunt Li didn't say anything, but looked at the cigarette box with an expression of anger and pain.
Ji Chu, who had seen the whole scene, asked calmly, "Li Meng died because of cigarettes, right?"
When Aunt Li heard the voice of a strange woman coming from the phone, she was surprised for a moment, then she realized that Ge Hao was live streaming. She hugged Li Meng with a dejected look on her face.
"Yes, when Mengmeng was 4 years old, a cigarette butt thrown from upstairs ignited my quilt that was drying on the balcony and she was burned to death at home."
Ge Hao was stunned. Looking at the cigarette beside him, he felt a sense of guilt.
"After Mengmeng passed away, my husband and I divorced. We had a great family, but it just broke up like that!"
"My Mengmeng is so well-behaved. When she was still a baby, she never cried or made a fuss. She would go to bed as soon as she was told to and sleep through the night. She never gave me any worries."
"How can I bear to let such an angel baby leave me!"
"Without Mengmeng, my life is meaningless!"
"So you used the soul-binding technique to bind Li Meng's soul in the paper man?" Ji Chu asked.
"Do you know that even if you use the soul-binding technique, even if you worship the soul-binding ghost, the dead souls will stay with the living, and it is your essence and blood that are consumed?"
"Your life span will be cut in half, and sooner or later you will be consumed to death by Li Meng!"
Aunt Li's emotions were no longer as stable as before. She loudly retorted: "Then I am happy with it. As long as Mengmeng can accompany me, that's enough!"
"As long as Mengmeng is here, my life will be happy. If Mengmeng leaves me, even if I can live to be 100 years old, won't it still be torment?"
"You are not a mother, you have no way of understanding the pain of a mother sending a child to his death!"
Hearing Ji Chu's words, Li Meng slowly raised her head from Aunt Li's arms: "Mom, is what my sister said on the phone true?"
"Will my staying in this world consume my mother's life?"
Aunt Li shook her head and touched Li Meng's face which was covered with dust. "No, it's not like that. With Meng Meng here, my life is meaningful. A meaningful life cannot be measured by length!"
Only after getting the answer did Li Meng feel relieved.
She turned her head and looked at Ge Hao: "Big brother, you smoke every night. Smoking is harmful to your body. Can you please stop smoking?"
Ge Hao was so stunned by Li Meng's words that he didn't know what to say.
She died because of a cigarette butt thrown from the upstairs. No one understands the pain of death and the harm caused by cigarettes better than her.
She would pester him not because she wanted to kill him, but because she wanted him to smoke less.
Ge Hao smiled slightly, picked up the cigarette box on the ground, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Brother promises you that he will never smoke again, okay?"
The strange paper man showed a sunny smile on his face: "That's great, big brother, I won't smoke anymore. You must keep your word!"
Ge Hao nodded solemnly: "Keep your word!"
"Aunt Li, I opened the curtains without permission in order to clarify my doubts. I'm sorry!"
Aunt Li shook her head: "Hey, your mother told me that you had a nightmare. I guess Meng Meng scared you."
"That's why I thought of asking you to come to my house. As long as you can confirm that there is nothing unusual in my house, you can at least feel more at ease. I didn't expect Mengmeng to wake up in the daytime. I also want to say sorry to you!"
"I will look for another house tomorrow, and move out in a few days. Please don't tell anyone about Meng Meng!"
Ge Hao smiled and said, "Aunt Li, I was scared before because I thought Meng Meng was going to hurt me. Now that I understand the whole story, I'm not scared anymore!"
"You'd better not move out. I won't tell anyone about this. I believe Mengmeng doesn't want to move out either. When I'm free later, I'll come and play with her."
Aunt Li covered her mouth and was so moved that she almost cried.
For Mengmeng, she has moved back and forth no less than 20 times. This time, she can finally settle down!
