Those who work in the coffin shop

"Mommy mommy--!"

Yumei's desperate cry echoed throughout the street.

She picked up her mother's body from the pool of blood and shook it gently.

Blood stained the ground.

It seemed that even the sky was dyed red.

Gu Yi wanted to go forward, but Bao Si stopped him: "It's useless for you to go, this is an illusion created by the little girl, these things have already happened, we can only watch."

Gu Yi was speechless and looked at Yu Mei.

She has been crying, heartbreaking.

Gu Yi's heart ached.

The screen turns again.

That happened after Yu Mei's mother died. Shu Qing came in and brought her six-year-old daughter, Xiao Yun.

Yu Mei doesn't like Shu Qing, never calls her mother, only calls her aunt.

Every time she yelled, Shu Qing would hit her.

Use that kind of long thin leather whip.

Yu Mei is often beaten and scarred, Yu Jianshan turns a blind eye and Xiaoyun takes pleasure in other's misfortune.

Xiaoyun said to her: "My parents belong to me alone. You are the outsider in this family, because you are mentally retarded!"

Did mother leave her because she was retarded?

Yu Mei didn't know.

All she knew was that she missed her mother so much.

Since her mother left her, she has never felt warm again.

She has been wearing the little skirt her mother bought her, but her mother has not come back.

Probably, never come back again.

She was like this, wearing the little skirt her mother bought every day, hugging the doll her mother gave her, waiting for the day when she would never appear again.

She thought that life was just like this, but one day, Xiaoyun suddenly reached out to her and said, "Give me your doll."

Yu Mei hugged the doll tightly and shook her head: "No, it's mine."

"Mom said, everything in this house is mine, why don't you give it to me, give it to me!"

Xiao Yun went to grab the doll, Yu Mei gave her a hard push.

Xiaoyun fell to the coffee table and knocked over the water glass on the coffee table.

The water was boiling water, and when it scalded Xiao Yun's legs, it turned red immediately.

Xiao Yun burst into tears, and Yu Mei's nightmare officially started from that day.

Shu Qing's beatings became more and more brutal, her father's eyes became more and more indifferent and irritable, and she became more and more likely to pretend to be innocent at home. The so-called "sister" in name, Yu Mei, lost everything she had at home.

She didn't have a good piece of meat on her body, and every day when my father came back from get off work, the first thing he hugged was Xiaoyun.

Yu Mei likes princess dresses and dolls, so Xiaoyun told her father that she also likes princess dresses and dolls, so his father bought her a lot of them, dressed her up like a princess, and wore the most beautiful flowers on her hair.

Xiao Yun took away her position in the family, and even her room.

Together Shu Qing and Xiao Yun threw out the things in Yu Mei's room, and even cut her beloved doll to pieces with scissors.

Yu Mei cried and shouted not to, but it was useless, they threw the cut doll in front of her, not only that, Shu Qing also picked up a group photo, it was a photo of Yu Mei and her parents when she was a child, it was the only one they had The group photo of Yu Mei is the most cherished thing, but Shu Qing cut it into pieces with scissors in front of her like this.

Yu Mei watched the fragments fall.

She opened her eyes wide, her absent-minded pupils slowly dilating.

"For a mentally handicapped person like you, if I were your mother, I should have taken you with me at that time. Otherwise, living in this world, even your own father doesn't love you. What's the point, haha!"

Harsh, rampant words.

Festering, pus-oozing wounds all over the body.

"Sister" complacent, proud eyes.

Abusing, framing, "sister" acted like a baby for three days, fell ill for two days, said "sister" bullied her, and threatened her not to file a complaint, otherwise she would be beaten, and boiled water would be poured on her like last time.

After the father beat Yu Mei, the "sister" would put salt in the father's water glass, and then the father thought Yu Mei was disobedient, and retaliated against him, and then there was another more brutal beating.

"You shouldn't have been born in the first place! Useless thing!"

The father's disgust hurt Yumei's heart more than the stepmother's beating.

Xiaoyun hid in his father's arms with a sly and brilliant smile.

In the dead of night, Yu Mei squatted in a corner barefoot.

Her face was full of wounds, and the princess dress on her body was already in tatters.

Next to her was the blond doll, with her head bowed, her long hair hanging down, and a pair of dull eyes looking at the floor. On the floor were the fragments of the photo, which she kept carefully. At this moment, with a thin He fiddled with his fingertips, hoping to piece it together bit by bit.

There were no tears in her eyes, and she was humming a nursery rhyme she learned from somewhere, her voice was hoarse and full of sadness.

"My younger sister carried the doll on her back and went to the garden to see the cherry blossoms. The doll cried and called her mother, and the bird on the tree was laughing. Haha, doll, why is the doll crying? Did you remember what my mother said..."

Gu Yi quietly walked towards Yu Mei.

He bent down and squatted in front of her.

Bo Si stood aside, his dark eyes showed no emotion.

Yu Mei continued humming, Gu Yi looked at her deeply, stretched out her hand, and gently touched Yu Mei's scarred cheek.

But Yu Mei's body is transparent, Gu Yi can't touch her at all, his palm directly passed through the air.

Gu Yi recalled his past.

When he was a child, he also hid in the orphanage like this, longing for even a little warmth.

Yumi, is it the same?

She was covered in bruises and must have been in terrific pain.

At the bottom of the well with no exit in sight, it must be very cold.

He finally understood, the wound on her head, the stench all over her body, and the strong cold.

She wants to go home, back to that warm home with parents.

Gu Yi looked at her, and suddenly, Yu Mei disappeared from his eyes.

Gu Yi was taken aback.

Bo Si pulled him up, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Here she is."

Gu Yi turned around, "Yu Mei?"

"It was her illusion just now, everything is nothingness, what comes now is her real body."

Gu Yi asked, "What is she going to do?"

"I don't know. If she comes, I must take care of this brat."

Suddenly, the scene changed to daytime again.

A ray of sunlight hurt Gu Yi's eyes.

Bao Si raised his eyes, and found that they were not at Yu's house this time, but in a busy street.

The sun is very good, the surrounding is very lively, and every passerby has a smile on their face.

This is a bustling part of the city, children are chasing and playing, couples are holding hands and embracing, there are street publicity activities going on enthusiastically, everyone is full of energy, even the old lady who sells balloons smiles so that the wrinkles on her face stretch out, and the balloons are flying in the air. Dance and jump softly.

Bao Si and Gu Yi looked forward, and saw a big shiny signboard across the street, "XXX Amusement Park."

Gu Yi was surprised, and at this moment, Yu Mei, who was wearing a sweet princess dress, appeared opposite.

Under the bright sunshine, Yu Mei's small face is white and clean, without a single wound on her body. She is wearing a pair of lively twin ponytails, holding a doll in her arms, smiling brightly and cutely, showing a pair of pointed canine teeth.

"Yumi?"

When Yu Mei saw them, her smile became brighter, and she rushed towards them across the street like a butterfly spreading her wings, shouting crisply: "Dad! Mom!"

"……what?"

Gu Yi wanted to welcome her with open arms, but when she shouted, Gu Yi was petrified.

"Dad! Mom!"

Yu Mei didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her yelling. On the contrary, she was so excited that when she jumped up and down in front of Bao Si, Bo Si mercilessly grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.

"……Hey!"

Gu Yi was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, "Boss, what are you doing?"

There was a terrible light in Bao Si's eyes. He sneered, tightened his palms, and watched Yu Mei turn pale in his hands, "What are you doing? Well, you still dare to weave illusions to trap us, what, do you still want us to play house games with you? I have no patience for brats at all!"

"Dad...Dad..."

Yumei couldn't breathe, her legs were kicking and kicking in the air, she was very uncomfortable, half closed her eyes, puffed her cheeks, and said intermittently: "Dad, today is Yumei's birthday... have you forgotten... you I said that I want to accompany Yumei and play in the amusement park..."

"Don't call me dad now, even calling me grandpa is useless. Hurry up and break the barrier, otherwise, I want you..."

"boss!"

Gu Yi held Bao Si's hand, looked at him pleadingly, and said, "Yu Mei just wants us to spend her birthday with her, and she didn't hurt us, why don't we..."

Bao Si stared at him coldly: "It's better than what, do you know how precious my time is? I don't do business today, so I just spend my birthday with an evil spirit here? I have so much free time? You have so much salary for me? I'll buckle it? Besides, this kid calls my father and your mother, can you accept it?"

Gu Yi said in a low voice: "But, you said, if it's Yu Mei's wish, if it's Yu Mei's wish, maybe we help her fulfill it, she will no longer be persistent, and we can go out smoothly, didn't you say , this is the world under the well, where Yu Mei buried her body, if she doesn't want us to go out, even you, the boss, can't help it."

Hearing this, Bao Si grabbed Gu Yi's hair violently, and Gu Yi frowned in pain, "Little brat, you have learned how to threaten the boss now, right?"

"No, no, boss, how dare I..."

"Change your soft-heartedness. If you become an evil spirit, it will only make you worse. With your heart, how can I rest assured that you will run out alone in the future?"

Bao Si released him forcefully, and Gu Yi quickly rubbed his head to relieve the pain.

"Dad...Dad..."

Yu Mei was still begging with tears in his eyes.

Bo Si stared at her fiercely.

Then, let go.

Yumei fell to the ground, staring at him with wide eyes.

Bo Si sighed in a low voice, and unhurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"never mind."

He lit the lighter and said in a low voice, "I hate children very much, but this is just this time, not the next time."

Gu Yi's heart was touched for a moment.

Yu Mei looked at the two of them, and instantly burst into a big smile.

It seems that this is the most happy and happy thing in the world.

She bounced off the ground and happily squeezed between Bao Si and Gu Yi.

She looked left and right.

Finally, she held their hands tightly.

She couldn't bear to put down that doll, so she tucked it in her clothes, revealing only a delicate little head.

When Yu Mei held Gu Yi's hand, Gu Yi felt that Yu Mei's hand was so cold.

This kind of coldness does not belong to the living.

Yumei is already dead.

No matter what kind of world she made, no matter how many wounds she covered up, no matter how normal a child she made herself look like.

She died, this is an unchangeable fact.

And is that all she wants?

When Gu Yi looked at Yu Mei, Yu Mei also turned her head to meet his eyes.

she smiles.

so cute.

Gu Yi couldn't help but also clenched her cold little hand.

He smiled at her too.

Yumei smiled even more.

Bao Si and Gu Yi took her hand and walked towards the gate of the amusement park at the same time. Yu Mei walked in the center, exulting like a restless bird, her feet leaving the ground from time to time, and she was about to take off into the air.

"Dad, Mom!"

She was facing the sun, which cast soft shadows on her clean face.

She uttered these two familiar and unfamiliar titles. Although this scene was warm, Gu Yi still couldn't accept it: "Well, Yu Mei, you should call me big brother, I'm a man, I can't be your mother... ...How about you call the boss's mother and my father?"

"But, mother is mother, father is father, this cannot be changed."

Yumei said innocently with a smile on her face.

Gu Yi: "..."

Bo Si lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.

The sunlight fixed on the man's side face, it's hard to describe how beautiful it is.
