"You...can you tell me about the situation at that time?"
Shi Lei helped Xiaochun's father up. Xiaochun's father looked at Shi Lei pitifully and said tentatively: "I...I haven't seen the child for more than a year. She...when she brought her back..."
Choking, Xiaochun's father couldn't say anything anymore. After all, Xiaochun's body had been soaked in water, and his death was very miserable.
"We dare not look at photos of our children now~"
Xiaochun's mother said to Liuxu, "Xiaochun also took away the family photos that were placed in the main room. We...we hope she can forgive us for our mistakes..."
Xiaochun's mother also burst into tears while talking.
"Alas~"
Shi Lei looked at the catkins, sighed, and said to Xiaochun's parents, "I came here this time to fulfill Xiaochun's last wish."
"Last wish?"
"What last wish?"
"Say quickly, I... we will be satisfied~"
The two people's eyes were shining, and they spoke one sentence after another, completely unaware of the strangeness in Shi Lei's words.
"Xiaochun wants to meet you~"
"She went out with Qi Zhi and Yuan Hongling not just for fun, but because they agreed to take her to see you..."
"ah!!!"
Xiaochun's parents were stunned.
See?
How to meet?
"Where's Xiaoharu?"
Grandpa Xiaochun rushed out desperately, grabbed Shi Lei and shouted, "She...where is she?"
Shi Lei winked at Liuxu, and Liuxu closed both the courtyard door and the hall door.
"Go get a basin and put flour on the bottom of the basin~"
"Put another needle into the flour~"
Shi Lei ordered.
Xiaochun's mother went like crazy and had everything ready in a short time.
"You three put your hands on the basin~"
Shi Lei said, "Whatever you want to ask, just say it and Xiaochun will answer you."
The three of them were naturally dubious, but facing this temptation, they had no power to resist.
"Xiao...Xiaochun~"
Xiaochun's mother couldn't wait to ask, "Is... is it you?"
Shi Lei sent Xiaochun's soul away, and Xiaochun also couldn't wait to throw herself into her mother's arms.
Unfortunately, Xiaochun's arms passed through her mother's body easily like nothingness, and she could not feel her mother's warmth at all.
"Mom, mom~"
Xiaochun cried pitifully, "Don't you want me anymore?"
As if sensing Xiaochun's voice, Xiaochun's mother also had tears in her eyes and asked again in a low voice.
"Dad~"
"Grandpa~~"
Xiaochun was confused, crying and threw herself at her father and grandfather.
"Alas~"
Shi Lei looked at Xiaochun and said softly, "They can't see you, just write with a needle."
Xiaochun floated obediently on the basin, held the needle, tilted her head and thought for a while, then began to write on the flour.
Xiaochun is still young, how can he write?
Xiaochun's mother, Xiaochun's father and Xiaochun's grandfather stared at the slightly moving needle and the crooked "si~" on the flour.
Xiaochun's mother burst into tears and shouted: "It's Xiaochun, it's Xiaochun..."
"I...I taught her this pinyin, and she...that's how she wrote it..."
…
"Xiao...Xiaochun~"
Grandpa's eyes were red and he asked in a hoarse voice, "It's all...it's all Grandpa's fault. It's...I'm the one who hurt you..."
"Axe, I don't care about you..."
After reading a few crooked words, Grandpa burst into tears. He lowered his voice and tried his best not to cry, but his back was shaking and he couldn't control it at all.
"Xiaoharu~"
Dad clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth turned his lips white. "Dad, I'm sorry for you. Dad should keep you with me..."
"No, Baba, I come to your door every day."
After just saying a few words, Xiaochun's figure became thinner and thinner, and she couldn't even hold the needle accurately.
But my parents and grandpa didn't know, so they kept asking questions one after another.
"wo i your door"
Finally, the needle fell into the basin with a clatter, and there was no more movement...
…
On the way back to Lu Town from Wancheng, Shi Lei and Liu Xu didn't speak. The way Xiaochun's mother kowtowed desperately made them feel like a knife.
If I had known this, why bother?
Seeing that it was getting dark, Liuxu looked at the navigation and asked, "Should we drive all night and go back directly, or should we find a place to rest?"
"Go back~"
Shi Lei looked at the turbulent river on the side of the road and replied, "This trip... I'm tired."
Liuxu stepped on the accelerator and the jeep sped up.
The night is deep, the road is long, and the water is long.
Listening to the sound of water, Shi Lei looked up and looked out of the car. He was thoughtful as the mountains undulated under the night sky.
Shi Lei turned to Liu Xu and said, "You said..."
But before he could finish his words, "Zi la la~" the jeep's stereo suddenly made an electric sound.
Then, a faint singing voice sounded:
"I heard the raindrops falling on the green grass, and I heard the bell ringing in the distance~"
…
Such a sound at night, if it were an ordinary person, he would be scared to death.
Unfortunately, Liu Xu only glanced at the stereo, then turned to Shi Lei and said, "Xiao Hei, you don't seem to have received invitations recently."
"Yes~"
Shi Lei nodded, looked outside the car, and replied, "It should be related to Bai Wuchang's Red Luan Ghost Array. The ghost array is gone, so the invitation..."
Before Shi Lei could finish speaking, a woman in red appeared in front of the jeep's headlights.
The woman's face was covered by her long hair, making her appearance unclear.
Liuxu stepped on the brakes, the jeep stopped, and the woman in red disappeared.
Shi Lei was about to get off the car and take a look.
"Ho~"
The woman in red suddenly appeared on the car window, her long hair lifted, revealing a pale face.
The facial features were ulcerated, and there were maggots in the open mouth!
"Hoho~"
What frightened Shi Lei the most was that the hands of the woman in red were holding on to the glass, and there were two different humanoid shadows, one large and one small...
"Didi~"
At this time, the horn of a large truck sounded from behind the jeep, and Liuxu hurriedly pulled over. Under the bright car lights, the figure of the woman in red disappeared.
Seeing the large truck speeding away, Shi Lei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today."
"What's going on in this world?"
LiuXu naturally saw it too. She opened the car door and walked to the river. She looked at the stars reflecting on the water and whispered.
Shi Lei also got out of the car, looked at the small town with twinkling lights on the other side of the river, and said meaningfully: "It's not the world, it's the human heart!"
Pheasant Town is not far from Lu Town, but the Ya River is much larger than the Shah River.
Liu Xu drove to Pheasant Town and parked the car beside the Ya River, it was already late at night.
As before, the two of them casually leaned on the car seat, taking advantage of the darkness to take a nap.
"Zi la la~"
Although the Jeep had turned off, the sound of electricity still came from the speakers, and the song sounded again:
"But I didn't hear your voice, calling my name seriously~"
…
