The first shot: the wash basin, top view. In the white porcelain basin, there was a sudden turbulence on the calm water surface, and a pair of hands stretched out to wash in the basin.
Wei, who kept her head down, didn't say a word to the doctor's (strange accent) question. The doctor waved the family portrait of the five people in his hand, but Wei still didn't look at it until the doctor asked what happened that day. Wei Cai slowly raised her head, her face was haggard, and she looked out the window blankly.
The main narrative begins.
Sitting in the back seat of the car my father drives, on the way home, the scenery outside the car window is from Wei's perspective. Arrived, the uncle who helped with the transportation (not sitting in the co-pilot, the co-pilot's door has not been opened, so he is sitting in a row with Wei? Or is he waiting at the door of the house? It should be the person who manages the house, which also appears below, After my father called for the first time, I wanted to smoke, but I couldn't find the connection between the fire and dinner. He was cleaning the front door steps) took the luggage from my father, and my father knocked on the car door and asked Wei: "Aren't you coming out? Is it?" Wei, wearing a full-brimmed bonnet and a bright red sweater coat, got out of the car, followed by "Lian" who shook his head innocently like a small animal that had just woken up from sleep. Next to the empty pair of swings, "Lian" saw a bunch of red mushroom girls, and happily ran to pick and eat, and found that the bitterness was so bitter that she vomited it all out, Wei smiled dotingly, pulled up "Lian" ” hand, under the sun, the girl’s simple and happy back is running towards the lake.
Pier, afternoon sun, breeze. The girl's jade-white legs patted on the water, and Wei's denim dress and red sweater cardigan were warm and soft in the sun, everything was so beautiful. Wei spread her hands to look at her palm prints, got up to see "Lian", Wei stared at the same palm prints as just now, and her father called Wei's name to let her go home. The "stepmother" came out to greet her in bright and bright clothes, too enthusiastic and a little yin and yang.
Wei went back to the house by herself, opened the curtains, took off her hat, and turned the clock that had stopped at 12:45 to 14:35, ticking.
Dad was on the phone downstairs, explaining the situation to his stepmother (and others, maybe colleagues or family members), and mentioned that his stepmother and younger siblings were coming to visit. There was a knock on the door in the middle. Dad looked back and didn't notice Wei, who heard him talking on the phone.
At the dinner table, the "stepmother" mentioned that her younger siblings should come over, but the father did not respond much. "Wei" was unhappy, put down the spoon, stopped eating, and left the table. "Lian" didn't move a mouthful of food, holding chopsticks and making no sound, "stepmother" angered "her" and asked "she" to go with her sister, and don't eat it.
The "stepmother" was in the bedroom, waiting for her father in a silk nightdress, wiping her lips in front of the dresser (here I really feel that Lian Jingya and Lin Xiujing are very similar). The father entered the room, neatly clad his "stepmother" and the "stepmother" and fell asleep, withdrew his hand gently and turned over. Soon I got up again and went to the (studio? study?) sofa to sleep on my own.
Near dawn, the "stepmother" heard the sound (wind?), woke up, sat beside the bed and woke up to doze, her movements were very strange.
The father got up and went back to the bedroom with the "stepmother". There was no one on the bed.
Wei, the inner nightmare about mother, Lian and the wardrobe, and the outer nightmare of waking up from the inner layer and seeing a ghost (face like mother). After waking up from the dream, Wei saw that there was no blood in the dream on her hands, and confirmed that the "Lian" beside her was still there, so she breathed a sigh of relief. The father knocked on Wei's bedroom door and asked if he could come in, but Wei refused. The father told Wei to go down to eat, and took the door to leave,
opened the curtains, and the sun came in. Only then did Wei find the blood on her fingertips, and that "Lian" was coming for her period. , went to the bedroom cupboard of the father's "mother" to get the sanitary napkin, the "stepmother" was lying on the bed, revealing that she was also here today, Wei ignored it, and noticed something strange when she ran upstairs, sitting on the toilet, found herself Also came the period (not a clear shot). Washing, drying clothes and sheets, only "Lian" nightdress.
Wei whistled with "Lian", and his father came out and talked to Wei. When talking about the wardrobe, his father blamed himself, but Wei didn't buy it and fought with his father.
Wei went to the flower house in the woods alone, and the old cabinet was there; "Lian" stayed outside the house by herself, and wanted to reach out to the bird cage to catch the bird, but was surprised (because she saw the "stepmother"? Take care of the scar on her arm below) and put it away hand.
Wei came back with the old things she found in the cabinet, changed into a dress, sat down, and looked at the photos (mostly of her mother and "Lian")... "Lian" mentioned the conversation with her mother, and Wei found "Lian"'s arm There are injuries, and they are believed to be abused by the "stepmother", and they almost collapse.
The father was shaving in the bathroom, and the tap was turned on loudly; Wei and the "stepmother" were in a loud confrontation in the dining room. The father vaguely heard the quarrel and turned off the tap, and the "stepmother"'s voice became quieter and gentler. Hearing the sound of the cup and plate breaking, my father rushed out to see what was going on. Only Wei hurried into the kitchen. The father wanted to appease Wei, but Wei continued to refuse and scolded her father. The two talked about the situation on the day of the incident. The father thought that Wei had a misunderstanding and was unwilling to accept the reality. Her father asked Wei to tell her the truth, but Wei refused and asked if it could change anything? The father's tone softened, expressing his concern that Wei might fall ill again. Wei was startled for a while, and at the same time she heard the phone ring, and said to her father in a calm tone, from now on, everything that happened here was caused by you.
My uncle and aunt came to Wei's house by night, with a solemn expression. The father brought the guests into the door, and the "stepmother" smiled happily when she saw the younger siblings, but the aunts and uncles were unmoved, and even showed no expression. There was only the "stepmother" at the dinner table, telling jokes about her childhood endlessly, laughing back and forth. Father didn't speak, aunt naturally had no position to say it, and uncle was sullen throughout the whole process (the whole process is not honorific, so it is difficult to accept whether the other party is stupid or not.) The final tone judgment is angry, scaring the aunt. She also put down the cutlery. Seeing this, the "stepmother" also straightened her face. The atmosphere was deadlocked, and she was so scared that her aunt finally fell ill. The two of them drove back overnight. On the way back, their aunt told her husband that she saw a girl under the sink (the ghost shown on the camera was wearing green clothes and covered in blood. I originally watched it in the afternoon and was not afraid, so I wrote it here. It was already night, and I didn't dare to freeze the picture to take a closer look at the face, suggesting that it should be Lian) The "stepmother" was alone in the kitchen, there was a lotus on the ground next to the sink, and another card issued on the day of the incident, the "stepmother" reached out Picking it up, she saw something grabbed her hand in an instant, and turned her head to see the blue and green dress (the one hanging in Xiulian's wardrobe on the day of the incident was also the stepmother who entered Xiulian's house and was frightened and knocked off the broken lotus. The dress in the single photo) girl (I can't confirm this paragraph, I dare not watch it a second time). The "stepmother" widened her eyes in horror, the camera faded out, and returned to the first point of view, the "stepmother" stared at the pills in her hand, and wanted her father to stay, saying that since the children moved in, the family had become very strange, and the father let She stopped talking stupid, it's just bad debugging, it will be fine after a rest, "stepmother" insisted that there is something in the house. The father took a deep breath and said to go to inspect and let the "stepmother" sleep. The "stepmother" walked around the room biting her nails (the blue back of the wall and the red back of the wardrobe are really good); the father inspected the kitchen and found nothing unusual, but found the bird's body, knowing that Wei killed it It's complicated, but I still go to the yard to dig a hole and bury the bird.
The "stepmother" came to Lian's room, hysterical new hatred and old hatred were counted together, and "Lian" was imprisoned in the closet; Wei was in her own room, lying on the corner of the bed without the quilt lifted, holding the sisters in her hands The photo frame with my mother fell to the ground, woke up, rushed to Lian's room, rescued "Lian", kept saying sorry, tears of remorse and self-blame couldn't stop flowing.
After his father buried the bird, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He came to Wei and asked her why she had been so angry until now when she returned home. Wei, who "saved" "Lian", realized some form of self-consolation at this time, and finally broke out, telling her father that "stepmother" had been abusing "Lian" and asking "Lian" to talk to her father. The father points out that Xiulian is dead and asks Xiuwei to stop "playing tricks" to cheer up. Wei's cognition was impacted, and the role of "Lian" disappeared.
The night wind blew the clouds away, and the moon was clear. The father called the stepmother to ask her to come over tomorrow, saying that he could not handle it alone.
During the day, when the father was not at home, the "stepmother" dragged blood-stained sacks and whipped them with sticks.
Wei was dreaming, dreaming of the scene on the day of the incident, woke up, and saw the note (the content was not translated and did not recognize, guess it was written by her father, told herself to go out and let Wei look after the house)
Wei couldn't find Lian everywhere, but heard Lian kept calling for help, and suddenly found a blood-stained sack, she felt Lian was inside, and went around looking for scissors to save Lian. There was a deviation in his consciousness, and he recalled that at the end of dinner on the first day back home, he sat in the seat of the "stepmother", dressed in the clothes of the "stepmother", and took the medicine that his father gave to the "stepmother" with water; He swung his stick at the blood-stained sack. She couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it, she just thought it was her hallucination, but what about the sack? Where is the sack? Finally, the sack was found in Xiulian's closet. The "stepmother" came to water Xiuwei with a kettle, and Xiuwei instinctively stabbed the "stepmother" with the scissors that were cutting the sack... After a fight, Xiuwei hit her head. Photo frame, passed out. When I woke up, I was dragged by the "stepmother" to the hall. In a trance, the blood on the ground disappeared, and I fainted again; the "stepmother" laboriously dragged the plaster statue to the hallway; when I woke up again, the "stepmother" talked about herself on the day of the incident. "One day you will regret it" and "Want to forget something but can't forget it anyway, haunting yourself like a ghost is the most terrible thing". Wei said to the "stepmother" to save me, and the "stepmother" agreed, but she struggled to lift the plaster statue to smash it down. Wei's face was serene, as if she was about to be relieved. Suddenly the door rang, and her father came back, from the perspective of the "stepmother" A blur. Father turned around and found Wei lying on the ground, helped her to the sofa, and found that Wei's hand was stabbed and bleeding. Father went to get Wei's medicine and saw that the glass of the medicine cabinet was broken, which was the trace of the fight just now. In the locker, there was a doll wrapped in a sack. The father came back with the medicine, and the "stepmother" sat on the sofa and asked where Wei was. The father told her not to do this, saying that he had had enough, and poured the medicine on her hands (without bandaging or wiping the blood on her hands) ) give her medicine. At this time, there was the sound of a car outside the door, the doorbell rang, and the "stepmother" looked at her father with puzzled and resentful eyes. Father didn't say much, got up to greet him. The "stepmother" resisted at first, and then the door was pushed open. The "stepmother" looked terrified and unbelievable. In front of her was a plain-colored suit and trousers. The owner of the clothes looked exactly like herself, and she called herself "Xiuwei". The illusory barrier that Wei worked so hard to build was instantly destroyed, and the fragments of reality that had just happened were pieced together bit by bit.
The camera went back to the beginning, opened the car door, closed the car door, got out of the car and looked around, only Wei was wearing a full-brimmed hat and a red cardigan.
Wei was alone in the ward, recalling the day of the incident, tears rolling down silently.
When the stepmother returned home, she recalled the day of the incident alone, and she felt uneasy.
(Although I’m not sure if the scene where the stepmother opens the wardrobe again is still Wei’s imagination. But the ghost here is a reflection of people’s inner uneasiness. The aunt, who was insane and delirious, saw a ghost, and imagined that the dream and reality could not be distinguished. Wei has seen a ghost, whether it is frightened or angry, but the stepmother can't help it, isn't it too difficult to see the ghost)
