I have never seen Hu Guyue have such a pained expression before. Even when he told me that he killed his mother, his expression was still extremely cold, as calm as if he was talking about killing a chicken.
Now, he seemed to come back to his senses, or perhaps, he could be said to have recovered from his excessive emotion. Most of it was just regret.
However, I always felt that his calm way of saying that he had killed someone, or that he was now satisfied with the pain was enough to make me feel pain in my heart. There was always an unreal feeling in him.
I used my hands to hold him in my arms. I told him about Li Xiaoyan, but not everyone who died had evil intentions, every single one of them had a different obsession when they died, so even if they turned into a ghost, their goal would still be different. He didn't need to care too much, even if he had a straight face, he only wanted us to recognize her and dig out her corpse.
Hu Guyue didn't speak to me, he only quietly leaned on me, and then fell asleep.
Looking at his pitch-black eyes, I knew that he hadn't gotten a good night's sleep lately. I called Ceng Xiaoqiang and brought him out to the police station's lounge to sleep, then asked Director Ding if he still needed us to help with this case.
Director Ding could only sigh deeply, saying that it was not difficult to find the culprit. After all, there were not many people who could bury this glass jar under the walls of the town, and with such a big vat, the culprit could almost be found.
What he was worried about now was that once the case was solved, no matter how the corpse was dealt with, he would not dare take it out. Could it be that it would be the same as what happened with Li Xiaoyan, where he would burn it immediately? And then they did burn it.
Of course, the thing he was most afraid of was that the girl on the white board would come out again. After all, there were so many people in the town who had seen it.
Let him solve the case first. Let's wait until the case is solved. At least we've found the body.
When the case was solved, she would suffer grievances. She would see if she had any other requests, and now, she could only take things one step at a time.
After we finished our conversation, we ate supper at the police station. Looking at Hu Guyue's puckered lips and small hands clutching at his blanket, my heart throbbed in pain. He really didn't feel safe at all.
I also slept at the police station that night. Early the next morning, the city police sent people over, so it was not convenient for me to stay with Ceng Xiaoqiang and the rest. Director Ding discussed the reason with Principal He, saying that the water pipe in the town was blocked, and that they had dug up the corpse while digging the water pipe.
Ceng Xiaoqiang was a little worried for his eyes. I comforted him for a long time, but he did not feel that the Beauty Snake was good at all. Only when Liu San said that it could at least be beautiful did he helplessly heave a sigh of relief.
After eating, Liu San kept glancing at me, to the point that I felt embarrassed. If Liu Kunsheng was here, he would definitely be beaten up.
"Is she all right?" When Hu Guyue and I was about to leave after eating, he suddenly asked me.
Knowing that he was talking about Li Xiaoyan, perhaps this became him being stubborn. I nodded, telling him to come to my house tonight if he had time, so I told Li Xiaoyan to talk to him by himself.
He smiled and asked me if I'd do anything about meeting a ghost girl. After all, ghosts are different people.
"She's already married to a snake, what's wrong with marrying a ghost?" Ceng Xiaoqiang glared at Liu San gloomily, but Liu San scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing his words.
When we got off the car, Ceng Xiaoqiang gave me the hundred grains of rice that Hu Jun's parents gave her, saying that her whole family was grateful to me.
I didn't know if it would work, but it was better than nothing. I waved him away.
He directly told his father to kill chickens and let Ceng Xiaoqiang eat before he left. He knew that I had no intention of stopping, he said that there was still work for him in the internet cafe and asked him to set up an account for Hu Guyue. After all, he can't stay at home with me all day, he still has to study.
Dad saw that I didn't get married and had instead brought back a baby, and stared at me a few times. But Hu Guyue was beside me, and since he embarrassed himself and asked Hu Guyue directly in front of the kid, after the rooster was fried and Hu Guyue had to eat it, the old lady immediately pulled on my ear and pulled me towards the room. She pinched my waist fiercely: "Where did this kid come from? "You've really grown up. You haven't even married anyone yourself, yet you've kidnapped their child."
I begged for mercy in pain and told her what I wanted to know. It was nothing more than father dying and mother marrying. My stepfather didn't like me and brought me back to raise me, so it could be considered as a merit.
"If you have parents, why don't you have an account? "Don't lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, I will break your legs." When I heard her words, I started to believe her. However, she continued to twist my ears and shout at me. "Are you really planning to keep raising me forever?"
"His parents aren't married yet." This reason was easy to find, Hu Jun's baby still did not have an account, "Aren't you going to keep him alive to torture him?"
"Yes." The old lady thought for a moment and did the same. She pinched my ears, "In the future, you have to tell us about this first, okay? I was scared to death by you."
"I'll ask your father later, and we'll adopt you as our baby brother." After I pinched my ears, my mother glared at me before she turned around and left the room.
Be my brother?
I was stunned. This is different from what I thought?
When I came out again, my mother was smiling like a wolf grandma as she continued to pinch meat for Hu Guyue, asking him how old he was and if he had studied yet.
My father called Ceng Xiaoqiang from the side, saying that this child's account was at our home. He told her that he and my mother secretly gave birth to a second child, and that in order to avoid family planning and send it to someone else, I had specially went to a distant relative's house to get it back.
Hearing my admiration, my father's excuse was flawless.
Hu Guyue was stunned, seeing the big bowl of chicken in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she took the chance to throw it at him while my mother was staring at me.
Xiao Bai is very good to him. Since the moment Hu Guyue appeared, it has always been with him.
After they finished eating, my mother gave Hu Guyue a room. It was right next to mine, so another family happily went to the town to buy him clothes and blankets.
Hu Guyue doesn't seem to be used to being held by hands all the time, but my mother seems to really like him. She kept holding onto him tightly, touching his head from time to time with a face full of love, which made me think that I was the one who picked him up, that Hu Guyue was really her son who she secretly gave birth to.
When we got to town, my mother kept asking Hu Guyue if he would like to eat cotton candy or barbecue sausages. My father even directly bought them and gave them to him, treating me as air.
When someone asked him who he was, he laughed until his face bloomed and said it was his son.
Hu Guyue called out to him very politely. Her small face had always been nice, but when she smiled, it was very lovable.
After buying a bunch of clothes and also choosing the cartoon blanket that Hu Guyue liked, my mother said that she would buy him a small wardrobe to pack things in. After all, boys also had their own secrets.
Listening to me roll my eyes, why didn't she say that I should have privacy? Now she's even rummaging through my bag and bed. If she were to wake me up, she would directly pull up my blanket.
There was a furniture factory in the town, which was quite large, but the boss had heard that he and Dad were acquaintances. When they went there, the old lady and the carpenter were chatting.
Hu Guyue was eating some cotton candy at the side, and smiled at me: "Old sister, I really suspect that I am my biological son, you gave me the phone bill."
"Be proud of yourself." I glared at him and was about to look for my parents when I saw him staring at a closet without even rolling his eyes.
The wardrobe was an archaic design, carved with a picture of a hundred sons and a thousand grandchildren. It was painted red and the color of the red was very festive.
"Blood." Hu Guyue's black and white pupils slowly spread out, instantly dyeing his eyes black.
I grabbed him by the head and tried to wake him up in his ear.
But as soon as I touched his head, I saw a flash of red.
The ancient looking wardrobe was painted to the point that it didn't look like red paint, but red blood. The blood slowly flowed down along the wardrobe, turning into a red line of blood that slowly flowed down.
"Blood." Hu Guyue's voice became hoarse, he forcefully pushed me away and slowly walked towards the cabinet.
I immediately shook my head, but it was as if I was affected by Hu Guyue, and couldn't shake off the redness in my eyes. Seeing Hu Guyue walking towards the wardrobe, I immediately followed him and held his hand.
But it was already too late. He pulled open the door to the wardrobe and saw that there was flesh mixed with blood spewing out of the closet and quickly rushing towards us.
