"Xiaohua, you must be good at home. We will come back to see you."
"Xiaohua, Mom and Dad love you the most. No one can replace your place in Mom and Dad's hearts..."
Xiaohua's face was flushed, and his voice was filled with excitement, almost sickly.
I pretended not to care, and glanced out of the corner of my eye, only to see that there was no greeting on the letter. It was densely packed with the same word.
die!
I couldn't help but gasp, and shrank to the other side, keeping a certain distance from Xiaohua.
I didn’t feel any ghost energy from this girl’s body. I can confirm that she is a living person, but definitely not a normal person.
Xiaohua didn't notice my reaction. He was still immersed in his illusory imagination, imagining how his parents loved him...
I took advantage of the situation and stood up, then glanced around under the dim light and noticed that there were more than a dozen photos posted on the wall on the left.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw that the photos were a little yellowed. They were a group photo of a family of four.
A young couple stood in front, and the woman held a child in her arms. However, for some reason, the child's head was smeared with ink, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
There was a little girl standing in front of the two people, with a sad look on her face, keeping a certain distance from the family behind her. I only took one look and recognized that this girl was Xiaohua when she was young.
But who is the child in the woman's arms, and why is his head obliterated?
As I looked at it, my heart suddenly moved, and I felt that the child's clothes were somewhat familiar.
Hooded shirt, leggings...
By the way, when I came to the Four Seasons Community today, I met the ghost of a little boy on the bus. Wasn't he dressed exactly like this?
I still remember the little boy saying in the car that after he learned a hundred ways to play with the flower rope, his sister would come to take him home.
Could it be that this little boy is the son of Zhen Zhigang and his wife? And the sister he mentioned was Xiaohua standing in front of me?
Why did the little boy die? Why did Xiaohua behave so morbidly and strangely? Where are Zhen Zhigang and his wife?
All these mysteries bother me and make me feel extremely confused. It seems that Granny Jinhua is not that easy to talk to. She is not just here to let me find a missing person this time!
After thinking for a while, I thought that the root of the truth lies in Zhen Lihua, so I came up with an idea.
"Xiaohua, do you have your father's contact information? I'm here this time and I have some important things to ask him about."
Xiaohua shook his head: "No, my parents send me letters every time. I don't know where they are, and I don't have their phone numbers."
I nodded: "Xiaohua, since your father is not at home, I won't bother you. When I go back, I will ask other workers to see if I can contact your parents. If not, I will search for them through the public security agency. "
I said deliberately, then stood up and walked outside.
"Uncle Cheng, wait!"
As soon as I walked to the door, Xiaohua suddenly stopped me.
"It's already dark outside. There are no cars or inns nearby at night. Why don't you stay at my house for the night and then go back after dawn?"
"Isn't this appropriate?"
I said calmly: "Aren't you afraid if you let a man like me, whom you met for the first time, stay at home?"
"Don't be afraid, because I believe that Uncle Cheng is a good person."
As Xiaohua said, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "As long as Uncle Cheng is not afraid."
I was stunned and was about to ask why I was afraid, but Xiaohua went straight to a bedroom facing south and opened the door.
"Uncle Cheng, this is my father's old room. You can sleep here at night."
I smiled and said, "Then I'll help Sister Xiaohua."
"You're welcome, you and my father are co-workers, this is what I should do as a junior."
Xiaohua returned to his previous shy demeanor. After finishing speaking, he entered the north-facing bedroom and closed the door.
Immediately, the whole room fell silent, and there was no more movement.
Although it's getting dark now, it's still early. Xiaohua doesn't have dinner. Does he have to go to bed so early?
Xiaohua's behavior was full of weirdness. I quietly returned to the south-facing bedroom, closed the door, and sat on the bedside, thinking about my next move.
After a while, my stomach growled. I had just seen the kitchen. It was empty, not even a basic stove. I really couldn't figure out what Xiaohua did for a living.
Fortunately, I still had a piece of compressed biscuit with me. I ate a few bites at random, and my stomach was no longer so dry. Then I lay down on the bed, wondering if I should sneak into Xiaohua's room later to see what she had. secret.
But I don’t know what happened, but as soon as I lay down on the bed, I felt sleepy. My eyelids couldn’t help but fight. Within a few seconds, I couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep.
In my daze, I vaguely heard a burst of laughter. I couldn't help but sit up from the bed, but I saw the boy on the bus standing in front of me, looking at me with a smile.
"How will you be here?"
I said a little surprised.
"This is my home."
The little boy said: "Uncle, come play with me."
With that said, he took my hand and walked outside.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xiaohua standing outside the door, his cold eyes fixed on the little boy.
"Sister, sister..."
As soon as the little boy saw Xiaohua, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Who asked you to come back? I have already told you that there is no place for you in this family!"
Xiaohua's voice became very sharp and harsh, completely different from the gentle voice he spoke with before.
After saying that, without waiting for the little boy to reply, Xiaohua grabbed the little boy and strangled him by the neck with a fierce look in his eyes.
"I am the master of this family, you can never come back!"
The little boy struggled desperately and coughed violently. When I saw that the situation was not good, I shouted: "Stop!"
I immediately stepped forward to pull Xiaohua away, but I didn't expect that Xiaohua was extremely strong. She pinched the little boy with one hand, flicked the other hand, and threw me out the door.
Then I saw that her body was still facing the room, her head turned 180 degrees, and she looked at me and laughed.
"Kekeke..."
A burst of cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I suddenly woke up. Only then did I realize that what just happened was actually a dream.
I took a long breath and was thinking about the weird dream just now. When I looked up, I saw a dark figure standing in front of me.
