Bing-Er couldn't sleep for a long time. How could she get close to the lady? How could she find out why she killed Xiu-Er? There was also the child in Xiu-Er's stomach. Why didn't Lian and Chen Quan, who were good friends with Xiu-Er, know that Xiu-Er had given birth two years ago? Bing-Er slowly fell asleep in confusion.
The next day.
The warm sunlight shone on the room, and the glaring sunlight forced Bing'er to open her eyes. She instinctively looked to her side, only to find that Lian'er was already gone. After stretching herself, Bing-Er got up from the bed and walked to the yard.
When Bing'er arrived at the room, Lian was already sitting by the well washing the clothes in the wooden tub. Many of the clothes that had just been washed were already drying on the bamboo pole.
Bing-Er walked over to Lian'er and sat on the wooden bench. She looked at Lian'er with a blaming look and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lian'er raised her head and smiled at Bing'er, "Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to call you."
Bing-Er brought the water up and poured it into the wooden basin. Then she started to wash the clothes in the basin.
The scorching sun was shining down on the earth from high up in the sky. Bing-Er and Lian'er were sweating a lot, and their sweat dripped down their faces and into the wooden tub.
Bing-Er raised her arm to wipe the sweat on her forehead and then continued washing the clothes in the tub.
When Lian'er raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, she raised her head and looked at Bing'er. When she saw the soap foam on Bing'er's forehead, she couldn't help 'puchi'. Laughter.
Bing-Er raised her head and looked at Lian'er, "What are you laughing at?"
Lian'er chuckled, but didn't say anything.
Bing'er pushed the foam away from the tub and used the water as a mirror to look at her face. When she saw the foam on her forehead, she immediately understood why Lian'er laughed out loud.
Bing-Er pretended not to know anything as she continued washing the clothes in the wooden tub. When she caught sight of Lian'er out of the corner of her eye, she held it quietly with both of her hands. When Lian'er wasn't paying attention, she smeared the foam on her face.
He looked at his face which was covered in soap. Bing-Er couldn't help laughing.
Lian'er stretched out her hand to wipe off the foam on her face and then poured the foam on Bing'er's face. Bing'er did not show any weakness and did not hesitate to splash all the foam on Lian'er's body.
Seeing the other party's body covered in white foam, Bing-Er and Lian'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. They then splashed all the foam on each other's body and stopped the fight when they knew there was no foam in the basin to splash.
Having had enough, the two of them sat back down on the wooden bench and began to wash the clothes.
While the two of them were doing their best to wash the clothes, the sky suddenly became covered by dark clouds, blocking out the scorching sun. The bright sky instantly darkened. Bing-Er and Lian'er looked up at the dark sky at the same time. They stood up from the stone bench and ran to the bamboo pole. They put away all their dry clothes. While they were putting away their clothes, raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground.
Bing-Er quickly ran into the house with the clothes in her arms. She threw the clothes on the bed and turned around to take the clothes from Lian'er, who was standing by the door, and threw them on the bed. Bing-Er let out a deep breath as she saw that her dry clothes were not splashed by the rain. When she turned around, there was a torrential downpour. The ground suddenly became wet and the air turned cold from the heat.
Lian'er stood at the door and looked at the house timidly, allowing the rain to fall on her body. He just didn't want to enter the house.
Bing-Er walked to the door and grabbed Lian'er's arm, saying anxiously, "Come in, you will get wet if you stand outside. The air is so cold, you will catch a cold."
Lian'er tried to get rid of Bing'er's hand. She kept shaking her head and backing away step by step. Her eyes were full of fear and her voice was shaking. "I won't enter, I won't enter!"
The torrential rain fell on Lian'er's small and thin body, obscuring her vision. However, she didn't seem to care in the slightest and only kept retreating.
Lian'er's frightened look made Bing'er a little bit scared. Lian'er was a little afraid of entering the house a few times, but she didn't have her current expression. Her pretty eyes were full of fear.
Seeing that Lian'er had disappeared from her sight, Bing'er ran out of the house and ran to Lian'er. She held Lian'er's cold hand and said, "Go in. If you stay in the rain, you will get cold."
"I'm not going." Lian'er tried to shake Bing-Er's hand away, but Bing-Er was holding her arm so hard that she couldn't shake it off.
"Let me go!" Lian'er crazily yelled at Bing'er. At the same time, he shook Bing'er's hand away.
Bing-Er tried her best to hold on to Lian's hand, "I won't let go. Why should I be afraid of entering that house?"
Lian'er did not care about what Bing-Er said. She tried her best to get rid of Bing-Er's hand, but Bing-Er was stronger than her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of Bing-Er's hand.
Bing'er pulled Lian'er close to her, coldly looking at Lian'er, and asked, "Why, why are you afraid of entering that room? [Did Xiu-Er live in that room?]
Bing-Er's question made Lian'er stop struggling with Bing-Er. She stood where she was, staring at the house through Bing-Er's eyes.
Looking at Lian'er's stunned expression, Bing-Er knew that she was right. Xiu-Er had really stayed in this old and broken house. "Lian'er, Xiu-Er is dead. You don't have to be afraid. You have nothing to do with Xiu-Er's death. What are you afraid of?" Bing-Er looked at Lian'er and asked. Xiu-Er's death had nothing to do with Lian'er. However, she couldn't let go of it. She was tired of living!
Lian'er retracted her sight from the house and looked at Bing-Er. She asked, "What does Xiu-Er's death have to do with me?"
"Right." Bing-Er nodded at Lian'er, "It has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to worry about it."
"No, I saw it. I saw Xiu-Er entering the house. I saw her! I really saw her!"
"It must be Xiu-Er. Xiu-Er must be blaming me for not coming back to my room earlier. If I had, Xiu-Er wouldn't have died. Xiu-Er must have come back to take revenge on me. It must be." Lian'er said while holding Bing-Er's hand. She was both excited and scared.
"No, there are no ghosts in this world. Even if there are, the one Xiu-Er is looking for won't be you. It is the one who killed her!" Bing'er shook Lian'er's shoulders and said to him seriously.
