things i don't know

Liuting woke up from an ice coffin, the first thing he saw was a black bamboo leaf.

The bamboo leaves were like a light boat, sliding from above, and after a pause, they floated away at a faster speed.

Black...bamboo leaves?

Liuting stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the ice coffin, a bone-piercing chill pierced into his heart from his palm, causing Liuting to withdraw his hand abruptly.

She found something odd.These hands are not her own.

She stood up and looked down, her tall and straight body, her waist-length black hair, her slender fingers that belonged to adults—all of these did not belong to her.

"you're awake."

Outside the black bamboo forest, there is a mint-green clear lake. There is a man sitting by the lake. The man is wearing a linen white dress, sitting on a futon by the side of a low table, and a jug of just warmed wine is next to the wine glass in his hand. A few strands of heat rose faintly from the mouth of the pot, and the aroma of wine permeated the entire bamboo forest.

The willow house has just been built, and the main house is still smelling, Liu Kunyi can't wait to drink a few pots by the side of the green lake.

Seeing Liu Ting stepping out of the ice coffin very uncomfortable, and was about to ask her to understand, Liu Kunyi said: "If you don't want to lose your soul, just stand there and don't move."

Liuting immediately stopped beside the ice coffin.

"This is my house." Liu Kunyi said, "There is a picture of suppressing ghosts hidden underground. Although you have obtained a new body now, you are still a ghost. If you make a wrong step, both your body and your soul will be smashed to pieces."

A new body?

Liuting turned his head and saw his own face in the reflection of the ice coffin's face.This is a beautiful but completely unfamiliar adult face. Is this the new body Liu Kunyi gave her?

"Is this body the body of a dead person?"

"That's right, I selected it carefully, tempered it, and it's extremely tough. This physical body is compatible with you, and there are no special circumstances where the soul and body will not be separated. You can use it with confidence."

Liu Ting remembered what she promised Liu Kunyi, Liu Kunyi asked her to see Meng Xin again, and she was willing to be Liu Kunyi's ghost servant, in this life and the next, until the day when both of them died.

"How long have I been asleep?" Liu Ting asked.

"Two years. This length is very reasonable, strengthening the fusion of soul and body." Liu Kunyi took a sip of wine.

"Two years?" Liuting was anxious, "You said you would take me to see Meng Xin! Why did you let me sleep for two years!"

Liu Kunyi ignored her impatience, but her shout was quite harsh in the elegant bamboo forest, causing Liu Kunyi to frown slightly.

"I never said that you will be able to see her as soon as you return to the human world. What's more, what identity do you want to see her with? Evil ghost?"

Liuting stopped talking.

"When you lie in the ice coffin for two years, you can eliminate most of the evil spirits in your body, absorb more of my mana, and strengthen your body and soul. For the next three years, you will need to stay in the ice coffin every day More than ten hours, after three years, you will be an outstanding ghost servant."

"I will." Liu Ting said in a low voice, "I will keep your promise and serve you for life and life, that's no problem. Then you should honor what you said. I want to see Meng Xin, right now."

Liu Kunyi drank the last glass of wine slowly, and put the glass back on the short table.

"I can take you to see her right now, but there is a condition that must be complied with when meeting her." Liu Kunyi said, "She is an ordinary person who drank Mengpo soup and went through reincarnation seriously. You still have the memory of your previous life, which is a special case. You can meet each other, but you must not say a word to her, let alone recognize each other. Once you reveal the secret and disturb Yin and Yang, the underworld will immediately arrest you. My efforts these days are in vain. It will affect the reputation of my Liu family. If you can do it, I will take you to see her now."

Liuting's face showed some surprise and concern, he didn't say much, just nodded slowly and said: "I understand...I promise you."

Liu Kunyi smiled knowingly, stood up and said, "Let's go."

This is a private international elementary school. On the day of enrollment, there are parents of different countries and colors standing on the campus.The parents chatted in various languages, and the children holding hands also greeted each other generously.

Liu Kunyi and Liu Ting stood outside the school fence and looked in, while Liu Ting anxiously searched for Meng Xin among the crowd.

"Which one is her!"

"That's the little girl led by her father in a yellow Polo shirt. A pair of English black leather shoes with ponytails."

Liu Ting's anxious gaze suddenly fixed on the little girl.

The little girl was very pretty and of mixed race.She is no taller than her father's waist, and she is happily chatting with her friends, speaking English and Chinese for a while, and making everyone laugh by uttering a few Northeast dialects from time to time.The little girl smiled lightly, and her big eyes were like crescent moons.Little boys kept coming to chat with her, and some were watching from a distance, embarrassed to come forward.

She is the focus of everyone, no matter where she stands or how many people are around her, Liu Ting can find her at a glance.

"She is... Teacher Meng's present life?" Liu Ting's fingers were clasped on the protective net, his voice trembling uncontrollably, with just a little force in his hand, the protective net was deformed by her buckle.

Liu Kunyi said: "Yes."

His face was hot, and tears fell down.

"In her previous life, she was pure and righteous, and she died to help the students." Liuting was expressionless, with tears streaming down his face, "I find it strange why all the goodness needs to be repaid in the next life. Even if you do good deeds in this life, you can only Falling to the point of being mutilated at a young age. Before reincarnation, I drank Meng Po soup, and my memory was completely washed away. No matter how good the next life is, it seems to be a good thing that happened to others. What does it have to do with me in this life? If so, why should I be a good person in this life?"

Liuting turned to Liu Kunyi and asked, "Is this fair?"

At that time Liu Kunyi did not answer her.

Why place hope in the afterlife?

If this yin and yang karma is not reported in this life, it is a mistake.

She doesn't believe in yin and yang, and doesn't think about cause and effect.

In the evening when the sun was covered by lead clouds, Liu Kunyi came to the edge of the green lake with a jug in her hand. Fu Yuanyi was already sitting on the futon waiting for her.

"Where's Liuting?" Fu Yuanyi asked.

Liu Kunyi counted her fingers - the time has finally come.

She sat opposite Fu Yuanyi and poured her wine slowly.

Liu Kunyi said: "Liuting is going through her own calamity."

"Crossing robbery?" Fu Yuanyi was a little surprised, "Aren't you going to watch such a big event together?"

Liu Kunyi said: "No rush, drink first."

Maisie waits for her father to pick her up after school every day.It was raining heavily when school was about to leave today. Maisie received a call from her father, saying that he had just finished a meeting and asked Maisie to wait at school.

"Daddy will pick you up in a while."

Maisie said sweetly, "Father is in no hurry, I'll wait for you."

The rain was pouring, the roads were full of water, the overpasses of major transportation hubs were flooded, and the roads were blocked. Maisie's father had to turn around and find another way.

The whole city fell into a state of traffic chaos, and the car owners who were stuck on the road for a long time became more and more angry, and there were scratches and rear-end collisions from time to time.

Urban roads have almost become dead knots.

The students in the school had almost left, and the classroom was pitch-black.

The heavy rain outside continued, and Maisie watched helplessly as the last classmate also received a call from her parents, and happily picked up her schoolbag and left.

Maisie gradually became anxious.

She walked slowly to the first floor of the teaching building, stood on the high steps and looked down.

The gray playground is empty, and the flooded city is particularly eerie and terrifying.

Maisie shivered unconsciously.

Teacher Liu, the head teacher, received a call from Maisie's father.

"Ms. Liu, are you still in school?"

Teacher Liu said, "Here."

"I was stuck on the road. I didn't move for more than an hour. I couldn't go forward and back. I don't know when I can get to school. Teacher Liu, please help me take care of Maisie. I haven't arrived for so long, I'm afraid she will be scared .”

"Is Maisie still in school? All right, I'll go find her right away."

Teacher Liu put down his phone and headed towards the classroom.

The lights in the classroom are dimmed, and Maisie is not there.

The rain washed the high steps of the teaching building thoroughly, and a trickle flowed down the edge. Maisie leaned against the edge of the flowerbed, becoming more and more anxious.

Why isn't dad here yet?

Suddenly there was a sound of light footsteps from behind, Maisie turned her head and saw a strange woman standing in the darkness looking at her.

Maisie took a step back.

The person in front of her is not a teacher from their school, she doesn't know her.

This is a stranger.
