Those who work in the coffin shop

Hearing that another person died tragically, Gu Yi was startled.

He had never heard of the name He Chunyan. The girl's mother whom he met in an Internet cafe seemed to be called Li, but he used to call her Auntie Li.

So who is this He Chunyan, and why did her daughter die tragically at home, like his adoptive father?

Does it have anything to do with the smog in the neighborhood?

Just as Gu Yi was thinking about it, the two women said again: "Oh, speaking of which, He Chunyan is really pitiful. Her son died, and her daughter died again. She was already a lunatic. Now, she must be even more insane!"

"How could her daughter die? Isn't her daughter at home, and her daughter has always been very good."

"Yeah, that's why it's strange, and, let me tell you..."

A woman's eyes flashed, as if she was about to gossip, she looked around, put her head next to another woman's ear, and whispered: "I was at the scene last night when the police came to check her daughter's body, I saw it by accident, the girl's mouth was stuffed with condoms, the police said, she may have died of suffocation, but no other traces were found in the house, so if the murderer can't be found, it's like the girl committed suicide Yes, do you think this is weird, how can anyone use a condom to commit suicide, this is clearly a vendetta!"

Another woman covered her mouth in shock, and said, "Oh my God, this kind of thing happened. Her daughter is so cute. Every time she sees us, she calls her Auntie. How could it be..."

"Who said it wasn't."

The woman next to her sighed with heartache and helplessness, and said: "He Chunyan's son went crazy after her son died, and now her daughter died so inexplicably, do you think her family should hire an expert to exorcise evil spirits or something. "

Another woman said: "Hey, I remember, He Chunyan's daughter seems to be her stepdaughter."

The woman next to her nodded and said, "Yes, it's a stepdaughter, but the relationship between He Chunyan and this stepdaughter is different from usual. She treats this daughter very well, and the daughter treats her very well. If you don't tell it, you will think They are real mother and daughter, so I said, now that her son and daughter are dead, how can He Chunyan bear it."

"Hey, this is probably fate."

Another woman sighed, but a trace of tension quickly appeared on her face, and she said: "I think you are right, our community really should hire an expert to exorcise evil spirits, look at how many things have happened in our community recently, death How many people were killed, Su Minjun, you know, her husband and son also died..."

Gu Yi listened quietly, holding hands together unknowingly, at this moment, the elevator arrived.

He was walking home when suddenly he saw a disheveled woman wandering in the hallway.

The lights in the corridor flicker on and off, just like the smile on a woman's face. She giggles "hehe" for a while, and cries bitterly with her eyes closed for a while. She seems to have some mental problems, drooling from her mouth. Walking around in the corridor, she seemed to be looking for something, but she couldn't find it, and she was very anxious.

She stepped on the old thick cotton shoes and made a dull sound back and forth. At that moment, Gu Yi's intuition told him that this woman was He Chunyan.

When He Chunyan saw him, she grinned happily for some reason, and she came to Gu Yi with something in both hands, drooling and mumbled, "Can you do me a favor?"

He Chunyan's eyes were full of pleading, and her distorted face was extremely strange under the light. Gu Yi looked at her and asked, "What do you want me to help you?"

He Chunyan said sadly: "My son can't be found, he is only seven months old, and now it's cold, I made him a pair of shoes, if you see him, can you help me give him the shoes? "

Gu Yi felt a pain in his heart, and said, "Okay."

"Hey, thank you."

He Chunyan showed an even more silly smile when she heard that Gu Yi was willing to help. She stretched out her hand to Gu Yi and spread it out. Gu Yi saw the very small pair of shoes lying in her palm.

It's just that the shoes are made of paper, with pointed ends, like two boats.

The white of the paper shoes was exactly the same as the white of He Chunyan's face, Gu Yi was a little frightened and did not dare to take the paper shoes in her hand, he began to wonder if he was talking to a ghost.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening from ahead, he looked over and saw Su Minjun standing at the door, looking at him, very surprised.

Su Minjun slept through the night, and now her complexion is much better. The hair that had been loose before was also put back up. She put some lip gloss on her mouth, and she looked calm and kind.

Seeing Gu Yi, Su Minjun seemed a little unbelievable. She opened her mouth, her eyes were flushed, as if she was about to shed tears.

"Careful?"

She tried to call his name softly, and Gu Yi was stunned for a moment because of the call. When he came back to his senses, He Chunyan with disheveled hair in front of him had disappeared, and what fell at his feet were only those white, pointed paper shoes.

Under the light, the paper shoes were so dazzling, Gu Yi picked them up, and the edge of the shoes still had the warmth of He Chunyan's palm.

She is not a ghost.

Gu Yi is determined.

He put the paper shoes in his pocket and entered the house, but Su Minjun took his hand, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and said hoarsely: "You are Gu Yi, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Gu Yi asked softly: "Do you recognize me?"

Su Minjun cried and nodded, and said: "Of course I do. We have lived together for so many years, even if you don't have a birthmark on your face, Mom will never forget you. Back then, Mom really had no choice but to let you leave us. You know that, Your father..."

Gu Yi smiled and said: "Don't talk about that, Mom, it's all over."

Gu Yi helped the emotional Su Minjun to the sofa and sat down. Although she remembered who Gu Yi was, she had no memory of what happened last night. Gu Yi told her the original, but Su Minjun only felt I was very shocked, and my whole body was shaking: "Really, I recognized you as Gu Miao, and I asked you to pick up your father home... What's wrong with me, my illness is getting worse..."

With a pale face, Su Minjun said in a trembling voice: "After the accident between Miaomiao and his father, I fell into a serious illness. When I fell ill, I forgot everything, and sometimes I couldn't even remember who I was. I used medicine to control my illness every day. , but still often get sick, like last night, you said I recognized you as Gu Miao, but I couldn’t remember anything, the doctor said, if I continue like this, one day, I will probably forget everything Light, just like Alzheimer's in advance, can't remember everything..."

Gu Yi felt a little heartbroken: "Mom..."

"I'm sorry kid, I drove you away back then, but now you are with me, and I thought you were Gu Miao, really, I'm sorry..."

Su Minjun broke down emotionally, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly.

Gu Yi shook his head lightly, and said: "Mom, don't say I'm sorry, treat me as Gu Miao, if you can be happier, I really don't mind."

"You are a good boy. In the final analysis, our Gu family is sorry for you... You know, I used to think that it would be great if Gu Miao was half as sensible as you, but I really didn't expect that he would marry his father. Leave me together... How much I want to stay with him for one more day, even one day, I am satisfied, otherwise, I will probably completely forget him, my son and my husband in the future..."

"mom……"

Gu Yi didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only sit quietly in front of her, listen to her vent, and watch her cry.

Suddenly, there was a quarrel from the balcony.

Gu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What's the sound?"

Su Minjun raised his head and said, "I don't know, let's go take a look."

Gu Yi and Su Minjun came to the balcony. The balconies of the two families are next to each other. Normally, they can come here to enjoy the shade and chat. But now, when Gu Yi and Su Minjun went to the balcony, what they saw was very violent. scene.

The balcony next door is full of flowers and plants, full of vitality. A fashionable young woman with red hair is angrily kicking an elderly old woman. With white hair and crying miserably, she dodged under the woman's feet, but it was useless. Every time the woman kicked the old woman firmly, the old woman groaned in pain, and it was unbearable to hear it, but the woman She didn't show mercy, her eyes were full of resentment and hatred, she seemed to want the old woman to disappear immediately, she kicked and scolded: "Damn old woman, why don't you die, your legs are like this, what's the point of living, How about I help you get rid of it, you and your son will thank me!"

The more the woman spoke, the more angry she became, and she used all her strength with each kick. At first, the old woman could still yell a few words, but she was already so angry that she was on the verge of dying. , Do you want me to serve you every day? It’s a good idea! I have never served anyone in my life! Why don’t you die, why don’t you die!”

Gu Yi couldn't stand it any longer, and was about to stop it loudly, but was stopped by Su Minjun, who pulled his sleeve and said: "Don't worry about their family affairs, ever since that mother-in-law's son married this daughter-in-law, these are common things, We are outsiders, so we can't control it."

Gu Yi asked: "Does the mother-in-law's son not care?"

Su Minjun smiled wryly, and said: "You also saw that his wife has such a strong temper, what should he do? If he did, his mother wouldn't be beaten like this. Hey, I'm old and sitting in a wheelchair again. Anyone who sees it will be disgusted."

"But this is wrong." Gu Yi said, "They are abusing the elderly."

"Yeah, that's right, but what can I do? Things like this happen every day in the world, and the law can't protect them. Besides, how can a mother have the heart to sue her son? Well, Gu Yi, I I want you to accompany me, let's go down for a walk, I have a lot of things I want to tell you, and I also have a lot of questions, I want to ask you."

Gu Yi sighed softly, looked at Su Minjun, smiled and said, "Okay, Mom."

Su Minjun was happy, and also smiled and said: "Then wait for Mom, Mom is going to change clothes."

"it is good."

"correct."

Su Minjun walked a few steps, then turned back suddenly, looked at Gu Yi and said: "Your clothes are also dirty, go to Gu Miao's room to find something to wear, this... you can also be regarded as helping mother to fulfill a wish."

Gu Yi lowered his eyes and did not refuse: "Okay."
