i don't want to die again

After guarding the boy with the little ghost and falling asleep again, Xu Shunian, led by her, came to the foot of a mountain with a heavy heart.

This mountain is connected to the forest in the scenic spot. After Xu Shunian climbed up the foot of the mountain for a while, he could see the buildings in the scenic spot across the top of the mountain when he looked up.

The figure of the little girl appeared in the forest in front from time to time, standing upright not far away as she used to, quietly watching Xu Shunian, waiting for him to go up the mountain in the direction she appeared.

Now Xu Shunian doesn't feel scared anymore. Sometimes when he sees the little girl's thin body and bruises all over her body, he still feels aching in his heart.

This mountain forest is obviously inaccessible, and there are many thorns everywhere. It took Xu Shunian a lot of effort to climb up.

When the little girl stood in one place without moving, and just watched her pass, Xu Shunian also stopped a few steps away, looking at the small mound of dirt that was not obvious under the little girl's feet, There are mixed feelings in my heart.

After slowly approaching, Xu Shunian squatted in front of the small mound, on which a pile of lush weeds grew.

The little girl was standing on the side, with no expression on her pale face, only her wounds that could no longer heal and her tattered skirt were still eye-catching.

Gently placing his hand on the mound, Xu Shunian looked up at the little ghost and smiled and said, "I will help you."

The little female ghost also nodded slightly.

After Xu Shunian returned to school, he occasionally took time to visit the boy. It didn't take long for him to learn that the police had investigated everything clearly and that the couple had been legally detained for the final trial. The disclosure quickly caused quite a stir on the Internet.

After learning about the case, netizens expressed disbelief that Tiger Poison does not eat children, yet this seemingly inconspicuous couple was able to cruelly torture their biological children in every possible way.

Although the younger brother was sent to the hospital in time by kind people, the older sister was abused to death half a year ago, and her body was dumped on a barren hill. The experience of the siblings has attracted the attention and sympathy of thousands of people. Everyone voluntarily donates materials to the little boy, hoping that he can grow up safely and healthily in the future.

Another reason why the case has attracted much attention is that during the detection stage, there was a mysterious anonymous letter, which allowed the police to quickly find the burial place of the little girl's body, and also allowed the couple to quickly confess their crimes.

Many people are full of curiosity about this mysterious informant, and there are endless speculations about his identity, which even set off a small wave of discussions for a while.

Sitting in the classroom, Xu Shunian saw the autopsy results in the report. In just a few lines, the child who was only nine years old was found to have multiple fractures and fractures all over his body, and even his tongue was cut off. I couldn't help feeling sour for a while.

He hadn't seen that little female ghost for a long time since he came back from the mountain that time.

At this time, the classroom is between classes, and Lu Zhan is also sitting in the back row swiping his phone, watching the hottest news, which is the case of a young couple in city A who tortured and murdered their children. There was also a high degree of discussion. While scrolling through relevant information, he accidentally saw a leaking post that caught his attention.

The content of this post is that some troublemakers spread the photo of the murderer and their twin children on the Internet.

The couples in the photo looked like very ordinary people, and this group photo was even considered harmonious. No one would have thought that there was such a cruel darkness hidden deep in this family.

But what really surprised Lu Zhan was that the little girl in this photo became more and more familiar to him, and when he finally looked up, he caught a glimpse of the person in the corner ahead, and suddenly remembered the pale little face he had seen not long ago.

Staring at Xu Shunian's back for a while, Lu Zhan recalled it for a long time, and felt as if he hadn't seen the kid who had been following Xu Shunian for a while.

Thinking about the details of that case again, Lu Zhan felt more and more strange. He kept distracting himself even in class, and glanced at Xu Shunian from time to time.

After class, Xu Shunian walked out of the classroom with a heavy heart. He stopped in his tracks as he walked. When he looked up and saw the little girl standing in the shade of a tree smiling at him, his eyes widened in surprise.

The little girl has completely changed her appearance. She is wearing a clean dress, with a high ponytail on her head, and a sweet smile on her delicate face. The scars and stains on her body are gone, and she looks delicate. And cute.

Xu Shunian couldn't help smiling, and when he walked up to the girl, he squatted down, looked at her clean face and asked, "Little Qing'er, have you come to see me?"

Some time ago he finally knew the real names of the little girl and his younger brother, one was Yan Qing and the other was Yan Mo.

The grandma of the two children, upon learning of their situation, immediately came from a remote mountain, holding Yan Mo with snot and tears in her arms, and almost lost her breath when she knew that her granddaughter Yan Qing had been killed After waking up, he slapped himself in the face, regretting that he shouldn't believe the nonsense of that bastard son, and shouldn't leave the children to that idle couple to raise them.

Seeing the heartbroken old lady, Xu Shunian could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, the girl heard Xu Shunian calling her name, and her smile became brighter. She opened her arms and wrapped them around Xu Shunian's neck, and put her small face on his shoulder.

Although Xu Shunian didn't feel the reality, he still felt soft in his heart. He raised the corner of his mouth and reached out his hand to touch the girl's head weakly.

They stayed under the shade of this inconspicuous tree, although they avoided the sun and the wind, the scene still warmed the heart.

At this time, not far away, Lu Zhan was standing in a corner silently observing the picture, and saw that the little ghost had returned to a normal child when it appeared again, almost exactly the same as in the photo. up.

The little girl hugged Xu Shunian for a long time, and then disappeared with a smile that couldn't see her teeth.

Lu Zhan felt that his guess had been fulfilled, and it was indeed Xu Shunian who helped the little girl.

It was beyond his expectation that Xu Shunian would help a kid, which made him feel that this person was a bit beyond his established impression of him.

Suddenly remembering that Xu Shunian said not long ago that he had suffered an accident and lost his memory, Lu Zhan believed it now, and at the same time was very curious, what kind of accident happened to cause so many changes in a person.

It wasn't until Xu Shunian got up, picked up his backpack, walked out of the shadows, and continued to walk forward that he recovered from his thoughts, stared at the back of the person leaving, and suddenly felt a little bit salty and worried. What has something to do with me.

After a fresh autumn rain, in the cemetery surrounded by green plants and flowers, the air is cool and clean after being washed.

Xu Shunian led Yan Mo to a corner of the cemetery, and stopped in front of a simple tombstone.

Behind them was an old woman carrying a bag. She looked about five or sixty years old. She was dressed plainly and acted neatly. She looked like a diligent and simple person.

Flowers and candles are placed around the tombstone, all of which are specially sent by some enthusiastic people to express their condolences to the deceased.

Xu Shunian pointed to the photo on the tombstone, patted the little boy on the shoulder, and asked, "Does Xiaomo remember my sister?"

Yan Mo looked at the handsome Yan Qing in the photo, nodded his head, his eyes turned red, and said in an immature but firm childish voice, "My sister has always protected me."

Xu Shunian felt a surge of enthusiasm, and nodded with a smile.

The old lady muttered while cleaning and said: "Xiao Qing'er was sensible before, but her fate was bad and she was given the wrong baby. Alas, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have believed their words..."

Xu Shunian had heard her read these words several times, knowing that the old man might not be able to pass this hurdle in his life, so he comforted him softly: "Xiao Qing'er will be happy knowing that my brother will be safe in the future."

The old lady nodded with tears in her eyes, lightly stroked the girl's face in the photo, and murmured: "Qing'er, grandma will take good care of my younger brother. Grandma used to be confused, thinking that you are better in the city than in the country. Grandma will always watch over Xiao Mo and won't let him suffer anymore, don't worry..."

Yan Mo also touched the tombstone like grandma, with a very serious expression on his small face.

Xu Shunian had discovered before that this child was much calmer and more sensible than an ordinary six-year-old boy. This also reminded Xu Shunian of Yan Qing, who was equally calm and intelligent, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. .

When thinking of Yan Qing, Yan Mo, a pair of siblings, Xu Shunian suddenly had a very abrupt picture in his mind, like a fragment of memory, not real, only vaguely remembering that there seemed to be a person who was shorter than himself but The boy who couldn't see his face was dangling in front of his eyes, still shouting: "Brother! Brother!"

In a daze, Yan Mo's upright little face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, looking up at Xu Shunian's face with doubtful eyes, and asked in a worried tone: "Brother Shunian, what are you doing in a daze? ?”

Xu Shunian, who was squatting on the ground, came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's nothing, my brother has run away."

Xiao Yanmo breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "I thought my brother was taken away by Bai Wuchang."

Xu Shunian was delighted when he heard it, he couldn't help but patted his head, and asked with a smile: "Do you still know that Bai Wuchang leads the soul? Who told you this?"

The old lady at the side admitted with some embarrassment: "A few days ago, I saw that the child was always sitting blankly and didn't like to talk. I wanted him to talk to others more, so I made it up temporarily..."

Xiao Mo looked at grandma seriously, showing a rather disapproving expression.

Xu Shunian laughed on the sidelines.

Before leaving, the old lady took Xu Shunian to talk a lot, and kept encouraging him to visit her house if he had the opportunity in the future. She also said that although the mountains are not as developed as the city, there are many good things.

Xu Shunian responded one by one, and also promised to visit Yan Mo when he had time.

Seeing off the old and the young, Xu Shunian felt a little bit sad, but when he returned to school, he immediately threw himself into a busy and fulfilling life. He went to and from class every day, and worked part-time. Fear, life becomes flat and stable.

In the middle of the semester of a compulsory course with high credits in the college, the teacher suddenly assigned a group assignment to the students, requiring a group of ten people to do social research related to the course, and to carry out targeted statistics Analyze, make a convincing research report, and finally present it in the form of a classroom presentation.

Moreover, the grading of this assignment accounts for 80.00% of the usual grade and 40.00% of the total grade. It is such a high-credit compulsory course, which can be regarded as a very important coursework for students.

When the class was about to end, the teacher projected the list of the groups that had been divided into groups on the screen for the students to see.

Hearing that there was a group assignment, Xu Shunian was worried at first. Fortunately, the teacher had already divided the groups into groups, otherwise he might not be able to find the group members at all.

Looking up at the list, I found that the teacher had grouped them together in the dormitory, and the leader of their group was Lu Zhan.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to be with Lu Zhan, especially when there were other people around, Xu Shunian accepted it frankly, it was better than being alone.

The boy next to Lu Zhan in the back row saw that weird guy was assigned to be in their group, and was about to shed tears of sympathy for the school girl, but when he turned around, he saw this handsome guy looking at the screen with his chin resting on one hand, his eyes wide open. He squinted slightly, showing no sign of disgust or dissatisfaction at all.

The boy couldn't help but feel a little worried, isn't this buddy really perverted?
