Chapter 754 Human Skin
The wooden door always makes a weird sound when it is opened and closed, especially in a place like an abandoned house, the creaking sound is particularly harsh.
Yu Xing followed Miss Yun and watched as she opened the door and a white wrist slipped out of her red sleeve.
This wrist is too slender and boneless, making it impossible for people to see the slightest bit of threat.
The darkness in the room was slightly dispersed by the light in the yard, and Yu Xing's eyes immediately shifted from Miss Yun to the wall.
As the diary he found said, Miss Yun's room was filled with embroidery.
I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem just by reading the text. Now I can see with my own eyes what kind of pressure the red walls can bring to people.
It can be seen that the master of the embroidery has profound skills, and every stitch and thread is full of agility that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Whether it is the embroidered flowers, birds, fish and insects, or the mountains and rivers, they are all immersive and lifelike.
It's just the crimson silk thread that makes every piece of work feel indescribably weird.
"Sir, please sit down." Miss Yun smiled, sat down at the table in the room, reached for the teapot on the table, and poured Yu Xing a cup of tea. Seeing Yu Xing looking at the embroidery, she said, "These are all because I am bored. Is there anything you like when you do it?"
"I like them all, the girl's skills are exquisite, I am amazed." Yu Xing sat down opposite Miss Yun in an obedient manner, and also spoke in a literary tone, "But I don't know why they are all red?"
"I just prefer red." Miss Yun shyly took a sip of her tea. "Ever since I was born, I have liked this warm and gorgeous color. But after living in this deserted house, no matter what I embroider, no one else will see it. I just follow my own temper."
"It may seem a bit exaggerated to others, but...Young Master should be able to understand it, right? As soon as I saw Young Master, I felt that Young Master should be a person of good temperament."
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and continued: "I didn't expect the girl to be so free and easy. From what you said, I felt a little regretful that others couldn't appreciate your embroidery. Why did you stay here in the first place?"
"It's just to comply with the original intention." Miss Yun said, "I don't like to be restrained, and I don't like my embroidery skills to be pointed out by others and asked to embroider something I don't like. You see, if I am like this in the outside world , She is just a beautiful lady raised by her master, she should call herself a slave."
“If you are attracted by any master, you will have to change your identity as a concubine.”
"But in my opinion, these are far inferior to the word 'I'. Therefore, I choose to stay here, without the constraints of the world. Occasionally I can meet lodgers like the young master, chat and drink tea, isn't it very Is it pleasant?”
Yu Xing applauded her: "That makes sense. I wonder what the girl likes to embroider the most?"
“It's not objects. What I like to embroider most is people.” The smile on Miss Yun's lips became more genuine, but I don't know why, but there was always a subtle disharmony in her appearance and expression.
"Human?" Yu Xing looked around, "Although I like it the most, I didn't see any embroidery of people..."
Miss Yun covered her lips: "I'm used to picking up the things I like. If you are curious, sir, please have a sip of tea first and I'll take you to see it."
Yu Xing lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in his hand.
This tea is also red.
The water dilutes the danger of this color, with flowing ripples, reflecting Yu Xing's thoughtful expression. There is a fishy smell in the tea that cannot be ignored. It is obviously not an attractive fragrance, but it inexplicably evokes appetite.
Yu Xing drank the tea in one gulp. As expected, there was a faint taste of rust in his mouth. At this moment, all the cells in his body seemed to have touched something with resistance. He trembled for a while and his stomach turned - referred to as nausea.
Even so, he actually felt like having another drink.
This tea has a big problem...it subtly changes the thinking of tea drinkers, and often this kind of thing is the most difficult to resist.
Had it not been for the fact that the power of his own curse was not strong enough, Yu Xing would definitely have found an excuse to avoid the tea session.
"Haha, it seems that the young master is indeed very curious about me." Miss Yun looked at Yu Xing with watery eyes, "Please come with me." The embroidery she said she had hidden was in the cabinet in the room.
Once the cabinet door is opened, there are more than twenty completed works arranged in layers, which are more exquisite than those hanging on the wall.
Miss Yun picked up the embroidery on the top and showed it to Yu Xing. It was a round fan for girls, with a woman embroidered on the fan.
The woman is weak, sitting on a rock, playing the piano.
Judging from the vivid expressions, the woman on the fan is actually very similar to Miss Yun.
Qin...Yu Xing had a guess in his mind and asked: "The girl is embroidering herself? Can you also play the piano?"
"This is not me, and I don't know how to play the piano. This is... someone I heard talking about, a girl I have never met. She had a bad fate. Before she got married, she was kicked out by her husband's parents-in-law. Because she was unwilling to do so, she wanted to I went to meet my fiancé, but was brutally murdered by my parents-in-law.”
“When I heard this story, I felt unworthy of her, so I embroidered her on the fan as a souvenir.” Miss Yun's eyebrows were lowered, as if she was sad.
Yu Xing suddenly asked: "Is her surname Li?"
“…” Miss Yun's fingers froze and she raised her eyes, “Does the young master know her?”
"I don't know, but I have heard the story you told me. The protagonist in the story is Miss Li. It is also rumored that her fiancé was completely unaware of this. He later went to find her and has not been heard from since." Yu Xing He chuckled, "Are we telling the same story?"
“…Yes.” Miss Yun also chuckled, “I didn't expect such a coincidence. Let's take a look at this picture—”
She pulled out another blouse.
Because the embroidery thread is red, this blouse is made of lighter crimson fabric. With a slight movement, the embroidery thread overflows with color and emits a slight red light.
It's just that the content is a bit strange.
The first time Yu Xing saw the embroidery on his blouse, his mind went into chaos for a moment. The surrounding scene suddenly changed. The night breeze blew slowly, and he stood in front of a well.
There was a man lying beside the well, a scholar wearing brocade clothes. He was begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face. His head was lowered, and his hands were holding on to the bricks at the mouth of the well, but he couldn't help but fall into the well.
The strange thing is that there is obviously no one around him.
“Let me go! Don't kill me!”
"Ah - I really don't know, please let me go, it's not that I always give up, it's not that I kill people, I really don't know anything!"
Yu Xing stepped forward and grabbed the man.
With just a little effort, he caught the man in his hand. When he started to hold it, he realized that the man was as light as a piece of paper and weighed nothing at all.
He turned the man over and saw his face clearly through the moonlight.
—This is not a human being.
This is just a piece of human skin that has been drained of blood, leaving only the bones wrapped in it.
