The next day, I visited Zhou Xiumei with gifts.
When I went there, she was busy in the vegetable garden at the door.
As soon as she saw me, she smiled.
"Little girl, you didn't find anything to eat?"
"No!" I waved my hand quickly, "I ate instant noodles. These are the snacks and school supplies I bought for Yuanyuan."
"It's costing you money!" Zhou Xiumei came over and said, "How can you eat instant noodles? I just picked some vegetables that I grew. You can eat them with me."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"
"No trouble!"
Yuanyuan suddenly became happy when she saw the snacks in my hand.
She wanted it, but was embarrassed about the skills.
So I took the initiative to hand over the bag, and she hugged it.
"Yuanyuan, mom is cooking!"
"Okay mom!"
When Zhou Xiumei left, I knelt down and held Yuanyuan's face.
The bleeding on her forehead had stopped, but the obvious dent was distressing.
"I accidentally scratched myself again last night!" Yuanyuan pouted.
"Yuanyuan, can we put these snacks in your room?"
"good!"
After Yuanyuan brought me into the room, she took out the snacks one after another.
And I looked around and didn't see a single photo.
"Yuanyuan, where are your family photos?"
"No!" Yuanyuan shook her head.
"Don't you have your parents' wedding photos either?"
"I have never seen the wedding photos or my father!"
The words Yuanyuan blurted out made my heart sink.
Never met dad?
Don't you remember?
Last night Yuanyuan said that her father hadn't come back for several years. She was only about two years old at that time and it was normal for her not to remember.
"Na Yuanyuan, are you and your mother alone at home?"
Yuanyuan didn't say anything, but stretched out three chubby fingers.
"What's the meaning?"
"Three people!" Yuanyuan said, "There are usually three people in our family! Although the other aunt looks exactly like my mother, she is very fierce. My mother is afraid of her, and she hides whenever that aunt appears."
"The exact same aunt?"
"She has one more black spot than her mother!" Yuanyuan pointed to her forehead.
That's a mole!
It's the woman who stoned Minus 4!
Not only does she exist, she is also in Zhou Xiumei's home.
wrong!
Then why do people in the town say there is no such person?
Is it because she hid in Zhou Xiumei's house and never went out, or is it because only Zhou Xiumei and Yuanyuan can see her?
"Yuanyuan, did you just say that my mother wasn't there when that aunt showed up?"
"Yes!" Yuanyuan nodded, "They never appear together! When I mention that fierce aunt to my mother, my mother will be very scared, and then hug me tightly in her arms."
Possessed by a ghost?
Otherwise, is there any other explanation?
Zhou Xiumei, who was possessed by a ghost, killed Minus 4, but she did not know all this.
Moreover, cutting off the scar on Yuanyuan’s forehead last night was not something a normal person could do!
But I saw clearly last night that there was no mole on Zhou Xiumei’s forehead!
what is going on?
Will Yuanyuan be in danger if she is with Zhou Xiumei?
"Ning Yi!"
"I am here!"
"Isolate Yuanyuan from here, and I'll go talk to Zhou Xiumei."
"Understood!" Ning Yi nodded, "Be careful!"
…
Zhou Xiumei walked in with a smile on her face, looked around and then looked at me.
"Where is Yuanyuan, where has this child gone?"
"Sister Xiumei, let's talk, shall we?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiumei suddenly became alert, "Is Yuanyuan talking nonsense again?"
"It's not Yuanyuan, it's you!"
"I?"
Zhou Xiumei took a step back, and then shouted Yuanyuan's name.
After shouting more than ten times, I became nervous.
"You...are you a human trafficker? Did you kidnap our Yuanyuan? I want to call the police!"
Seeing Zhou Xiumei take out her mobile phone, I didn't panic.
"Then you call the police, so we can talk to the police about your child abuse!"
"Child abuse?" Zhou Xiumei swallowed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You tore off the scar on Yuanyuan's forehead that never healed while she was sleeping! Isn't this child abuse?"
"Did you sneak into our house?"
"Sister Xiumei, if you don't tell me clearly, I will call the police! If the matter is serious, you may lose Yuanyuan's custody rights."
"No! No! Yuanyuan was born to me! She is mine!"
"Then why did you hurt her?"
"I'm protecting her!"
Zhou Xiumei yelled such a sentence, and her straight body instantly went limp.
"I...you may think I'm talking nonsense or you won't believe me when I say it, but...but..." Zhou Xiumei said this, staring straight at me. "There's a ghost in my house!"
"The one with the mole on the right forehead?"
My words made Zhou Xiumei's eyes widen.
"How do you know? Have you seen her too? Where is she? Is she pestering Yuanyuan again?"
"No! I just can see ghosts! Sister Xiumei, can you tell me what happened?"
Zhou Xiumei moved to me, pulled a stool and sat down.
"I don't know how that female ghost appears, but she will possess Yuanyuan's body. As soon as she attaches to Yuanyuan's body, a black mole will appear on Yuanyuan's forehead. In our case, the mole here It's unlucky! As soon as that mole appears on Yuanyuan's head, she will become very strange. Even I feel groggy during the day, and sometimes I even forget what I did. In order to prevent that ghost from hurting Yuanyuan , I will dig out the mole when she grows it, and as long as the mole does not appear, Yuanyuan will not be possessed."
"Is this why you don't want the scar on Yuanyuan's forehead to heal?"
"Yes!" Zhou Xiumei nodded, "I really don't want to hurt Yuanyuan!"
"So, you've never seen with your own eyes what that ghost looks like?"
"No! She has never appeared alone, but I can feel that she is a woman."
"Then you don't know that you are possessed?"
Zhou Xiumei's expression suddenly flashed with panic.
She jumped up and looked at me in surprise.
"I...I was possessed?"
"You really don't feel anything at all?"
"I just felt very tired during that time. If I couldn't remember what happened during the day, I..."
"Sister Xiumei, how long has it been since your husband came home?"
"Why do you ask?"
"There are no photos of him at home and he hasn't been home for so long. Why are you not anxious at all? You were angry at Yuanyuan when she mentioned it. Sister Xiumei, are you hiding something?"
"I have burned his photos!" Zhou Xiumei's eyes turned red. "The reason why I didn't look for him after he didn't come back for several years is because he has someone outside! When he came back from visiting relatives before, I heard him fighting with a woman. On the phone, I turned a blind eye when I was feeding the child. After all, my mother and I relied on him to support us. But later on, I couldn’t contact him at all. I knew that he must have run away with another woman and no longer wanted us. . But I didn’t want Yuanyuan to have a bad impression of her father, so I just said that he was busy working part-time and couldn’t come back.”
"What's Yuanyuan's father's name? Do you have a photo of him?"
"Zhao Guofu!" Zhou Xiumei said gloomily, "He is also from this town, but everyone thinks he works outside. There is still half a photo!"
With that said, Zhou Xiumei stood up.
After a while, I brought half of the photo.
When I took it and looked at it, I almost exclaimed.
Because the person in the photo is none other than Minus 4 lying in the funeral parlor, that is, Zhao Guofu!
…
Why is this happening?
Zhou Xiumei didn't know that Zhao Guofu was dead, but thought he had left with another woman.
So Zhao Guofu was killed by Zhou Xiumei, who was possessed by a ghost?
In other words, indirectly killed.
Because I only saw Zhou Xiumei throwing stones, but not how he fell into the river.
No matter what, everything has to do with that female ghost.
But when I came to Zhou Xiumei's home, I didn't feel a strong yin energy.
"Can you really see ghosts? Was my Yuanyuan taken away by that female ghost?"
"She is safe, I promise! Sister Xiumei, how was your relationship with Zhao Guofu before? What kind of person is he?"
"Hardworking and willing to endure hardships!" Zhou Xiumei blurted out, "He is five years older than me. We grew up together and he treated me very well after we got married!"
"Then why are you so sure he has someone outside? Is it just because of that phone call?"
"He has gone to school, and I have no education. The men in the town were all frivolous after they went out. During that time, the rich man was a little weird. I thought maybe I couldn't resist the temptation. But I couldn't get divorced, so I endured it. I didn’t expect him to just stop going home.”
"Is it possible that he has..."
"Already what?"
We can't talk about Zhao Guofu's death yet, otherwise Zhou Xiumei might not be able to bear it.
"Sister Xiumei, do you still remember when that ghost appeared?"
"Let me think about it!" Zhou Xiumei lowered her head, her eyes wandering. "It seems that it was the last time that the rich man came home. Yes, that was the time! Because a big event happened in the town at that time, I remember it more clearly."
"What's up?"
"I found a little girl floating on the Imperial Ferry. I hurried home and called Guofu to fish the girl out. Unfortunately, the girl was already out of breath. Because she had been hiding for too long, she was all floating. But she She was wearing a blue dress and small fan sandals. Because the body had been soaked for too long, she only looked about four or five years old."
"What about the body?"
"Buried!" Zhou Xiumei said, "We posted a notice to find the body at the entrance of the town, but no one came to claim it for a long time, so it was simply buried in the wasteland behind."
"Then what's so strange about Zhao Guofu?"
"He often calls women! I listened to it several times! Then I woke up several times at night and didn't see him. I looked around and found that he was hugging a woman! I really don't know when he took that The woman is back!"
"Don't you think it's strange? Your home is so big, where can a big living person hide? Why do you always see him with a woman? No matter how brave he is, he can't take her home, right?"
At this point, I pause.
"Did he give you money?"
"Here!" Zhou Xiumei nodded, "Give me 60,000 yuan for the last time!"
"According to the basic salary outside, a big man has to live frugally to save 60,000 yuan. He basically gives all of his money to you, how can he afford to support a woman outside?"
"Maybe... maybe to compensate us?"
"Sister Xiumei, let Yuanyuan's mole grow out!"
"No! The ghost will come out!"
"But what you do will only trap the ghost in Yuanyuan's body forever!"
