Urban Witcher

"Get up quickly!"

Ye Xiaomu went up to help her up, and looked carefully, this girl was about the same age as him, with delicate features, wearing a school uniform, who was a student somewhere before she was alive.

"The first seven... I heard that the souls of the dead are going home to have a look, why didn't you go?"

When the girl heard this, she sighed, shook her head and said, "I'm not going. Daddy, are you really not going to arrest me? I want to stay in the world for a while, and I'll leave after twelve o'clock, okay? "

"No problem!" Ye Xiaomu said, "Do you want to talk to someone? If necessary, I can accompany you."

The girl couldn't believe it, and looked at him hesitantly.

"To tell you the truth, I'm a novice **, this is the first time my soul wanders out, I just met you, and I'm destined to stay with you for a while."

Ye Xiaomu said and sat down beside her.

Seeing that he was not hostile, the girl asked, "What's your name?"

"Ye Xiaomu. What about you?"

"My name is Xia Lan. Orchid's Lan."

"It's a nice name."

Xia Lan smiled sadly, "This is probably my only advantage."

"Don't be too modest, by the way, why are you here?"

Xia Lan pointed to the lake in front of her and said, "Seven days ago, I committed suicide here."

suicide……

Ye Xiaomu looked at her in surprise.

"I really don't have any fun in living. I always feel that I am superfluous. It's better to die. Who knows that after death, I will be a ghost, but those memories can't be erased..."

"How come, there are many happy things in life."

Xia Lan said with a wry smile: "For many people, that's true, but I never know what happiness is. My family is from a rural area, and my family has always wanted to have a boy, so no one liked me when I was born. I was almost beaten My grandma was drowned, but my mother saved me. Speaking of it, only my mother was okay with me, but when I was five years old, my mother gave birth to a younger brother, and she treated me badly. Dad divorced and ran away from home alone, and I never saw her again.

My father works in the city. I live with my grandma and younger brother. They don’t like me. My grandma often beats me. If there is any good thing, I will give it to my younger brother first. If you don’t believe me, my younger brother will eat meat for a meal. , more than I eat in a year.

At school, because I was ugly, none of my classmates wanted to play with me, they bullied me and beat me often... After I graduated from primary school, my grandma stopped going to school because my family was poor and could only support one person to go to school. My younger brother has reached school age, so naturally I can't go to school. I have to work in the fields, wash and cook at home, and take care of my sick grandma...

I can bear this, even if my father never comes home and takes revenge on me for drinking too much, I can bear it, because I love my brother very much, even if he doesn't like me, he doesn't even want to look at me, I still pay for him silently, because he is my younger brother and the hope of the whole family. After my younger brother went to junior high school, his father took him to school, and I followed him, working part-time and taking care of his daily life at the same time. I have no complaints or regrets. "

Ye Xiaomu listened to her narration quietly, with mixed emotions in his heart, and didn't know what to say.

"That weekend, we were sleeping at home at night, and a thief came to the house. At that time, my younger brother was getting up to go to the bathroom, and bumped into the thief. The thief started fighting with him, trying to stab him to death. I heard my brother's screams When I woke up, I went to beat the thief without thinking about my own life, and asked my younger brother to report to the detectives. As a result... my younger brother hid in the room and locked the door.

I was stabbed several times by gangsters outside. I threw myself on the door and knocked on it desperately, but my brother did not open the door.

Fortunately, I called for help and attracted the neighbors to report to the police, who subdued the gangster.

I was sent to the hospital, and after I was bandaged, my father took the compensation money, and let me leave the hospital if my injury did not recover, saying that the hospital spent too much money. After returning home, I struggled to cook for them every day because my injury was not recovering. Just half a month ago, my younger brother was going to summer camp the next day and asked me to wash a set of clothes for him to wear the next day, but I lay in bed because of the pain of the wound and did not get up, and the clothes were not washed. He scolded me when he got home. I was also angry at the time and quarreled with him.

He told me that he actually hated me all the time because I was ugly and he didn't want to have a sister like me, but I was the one who kept pestering him and slapped me. "

Tears fell on the lake water patter, without causing ripples, because these were the tears in Xia Lan's mind, and ghosts don't shed tears.

She raised her head, looked at Ye Xiaomu, shook her head, and said: "I'm sorry, you must be very annoyed after hearing so much, please forgive me, I just... never told anyone about this, I'm very depressed , I’m going to the Yin Division soon, and I won’t have the chance to tell people about this again.”

Ye Xiaomu grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "No, I'm not bothered at all. I think you are a kind person and you have done nothing wrong. But why did you commit suicide?"

"Actually, I'm not a fool. I treat my brother well just because he is my brother, and my father often beats him when he is drunk. He has no mother since he was a child, so I have always taken care of him. I also know that he treats me badly." Well, look down on me like everyone else, but I always feel like he's my brother and he'll understand one day. So even if he locks me out, I can still forgive him.

But when he said to me, 'I've looked down on you all my life', I collapsed, and I came to this place alone, thinking that I was born to be a superfluous person, someone who no one looked down on, why not Forget about dying, just jump into the water and commit suicide..."

After saying this, Xia Lan smiled softly, "The body was found on the second day after I died, and then I found my father and came to claim the body, and then he deliberately refused to cremate the body in order to extort more money from the park management office... My younger brother did burn some paper for me, but he also had a guilty conscience. He was worried that I would be a ghost and trouble him, so he told me to leave and never come back. Haha..."

Xia Lan suddenly laughed, "Big bastard, do you think I'm stupid, I really deserve it..."

Ye Xiaomu held her hand tightly and said: "You are quite stupid. Although it is very late, you should have your own life. You don't have to pay so much for someone who doesn't love you."

"Yeah." Xia Lan sighed, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days. In the past ten years, I owed myself too much. I didn't have any success. I don’t have any friends who read it.”

She wept again sadly. ()
