Chapter 26: The past of Little Bell

Views:

Sister Hua sighed again, and quietly told me about Little Bell's past.

Although our county is not big, its geographical location is very important. It can be regarded as a water and land transportation hub. In that special era, it naturally aroused the interest of the Japanese. One day, after a period of chaos, the Japanese occupied the county and stationed here. , and the tragedy of Fanlou or the tragedy of the entire county also began.

It was at this time that Xiao Lingdang was sold to Fanlou by her parents. At that time, Xiao Lingdang was only 11 years old. And the precocious little Lingdang seems to have resigned to her fate, feeling that everything is arranged by God.

It is the submissive character brought about by accepting fate that made Little Lingdang win the favor of all the girls in Fanlou during her study in Fanlou. All the girls have been protecting her all the time, trying to avoid letting Little Bell follow their old path, so Little Bell's position in Fanlou is somewhat similar to mine now, serving tea and water every day in a servant's men's attire.

As the boss and procuress of Fanlou, Sister Hua is well-known in the whole county, and under the wantonness of the Japanese, she comforted the Japanese into obedience. No matter how chaotic the city was, there was no major disturbance in Fanlou.

Until one day, several Japanese military officers went to Fanlou to have fun. Among them, a perverted officer who was transferred didn’t like women, but became interested in the handsome little bell. Take it away, but in the process of tearing, I discovered the fact that Little Bell is a girl.

The Japanese officer was furious, feeling that he had been deceived, and said that if Xiao Lingdang was willing to be a man, then he should be a man. So the Japanese officer peeled off the skin of the little bell, and then caught a boy, skinned him, swapped the skins of the two and put it on. He died immediately, but kept screaming and struggling so that the officer couldn't put on the boy's skin.

At this moment, Zui'er went to beg a high-ranking Japanese official. The Japanese high-ranking official had long admired Zui'er, and Zui'er had always been serious about him. Maybe it would be best if he didn't get it. Instead, the high-ranking officials try to please Zui'er in every possible way. Zui'er used herself as a bargaining chip in exchange for the help of high-ranking officials, but in the end she was one step too late. One shot helped Xiao Lingdang end her painful life.

And it was Zui'er who started the robbery.

Finally, Little Bell was not put on someone else's skin, but the dead boy had already been thrown away by the Japanese. The girls didn't pay attention in their panic, and when they searched again, they couldn't find it. rise. The girls and Little Bell have been looking for it all these years, because there is no way to reincarnate without human skin, which is why Little Bell, who has no resentment, lives on as a spirit ghost.

After listening to it, I took a deep breath. Since I was a child, the cruelty and tyranny of Japan have been deeply rooted in my heart. However, under the personal experience of Sister Hua, it is even more real, and what happened to Little Bell made me completely unexpected. What happened to that lovely little girl just now. Is it resignation

I didn't speak for a long time, and finally said to Sister Hua: "Sister Hua, you mean that the little bell's leather quilt was put on that boy, so what about the boy's ghost?"

Sister Hua said: "We have searched for the boy's ghost for a long time but have not found it, but it must not have entered the underworld, I can be sure."

I nodded, I don't know why Sister Hua is so sure, but it shows that the boy has definitely turned into a ghost, and it is very likely to be a ghost. This makes me feel helpless for a while, but it also helps me find the little bell. The hope of human skin. As long as he is still in this world, there will be a day when he finds out that Sister Hua once said that no matter if it is a ghost, a spirit ghost or others, they will not easily leave the place where they died.

I thought for a while and said, "Sister Hua, I'm going to find a way to look up previous information. I remember that there was a TV series that wrote about the history at that time, saying that there were several mass graves in our area. Maybe there will be clues."

The TV series I am talking about is an anti-Japanese war film made locally in the early 1990s. It uses the local dialect and tells the stories of the county and several surrounding counties.

Sister Hua shook her head and did not speak. I understand what she means. I have seen it in Fanlou these days. Fanlou is almost full of guests every day. If mass graves are real, then Sister Hua will definitely know her. The ghosts in it must have been found, but I still plan to try.

The topic of the little bell didn't continue, Sister Hua ordered me to complete Uncle Huang's request as soon as possible, and after I promised to go tomorrow, Sister Hua left. At this time, guests had already arrived.

I had no choice but to get up and start working, maybe because I was disturbed by the fake Taoist priest, the business was very good tonight, I was busy until 3 o'clock in the morning, and I almost sat down at the bar to rest.

"Hello."

When I turned around, I saw Lulu pushing a glass of water in front of me expressionlessly. Seeing me turn around, she turned around quickly, as if to show that she didn't give it to me.

I picked up the water, drank it and said "thank you" just now. Saying thank you is just polite, I didn't expect Lulu to talk to me, after all, she has been angry for a long time.

But Lulu filled the water for me again, and said, "Sister Hua was telling you about the little bell just now?"

I turned my head in surprise, although I didn't understand why Lulu's anger subsided, but I didn't dare to provoke this angry beauty again, so I quickly nodded and replied: "Yes."

"Do you have an idea?"

I shook my head, I really don't have a clue, even if it's a mass grave, I'm just in the mood to try it out: "No."

Lulu was silent for a while and said, "Help Little Bell find it, okay?" Lulu's words were filled with a kind of tenderness and pleading that she had never seen before.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help Little Bell find it." I nodded heavily.

Lulu rarely showed a smile, alas, beautiful women are still more beautiful when they smile, and it is really unsightly to keep a straight face every day.

At this time, I don't know why I suddenly thought of a question, so I asked: "Lulu, do you know the three people who died here last time?"

Lulu nodded: "It was the first time you came to burn paper, right?"

"Yeah, where are their ghosts now?"

Lulu thought for a while and said, "It's not past seven, the ghosts of those two boys should still be on the second floor."

I unconsciously shifted my gaze to the second floor, a slight chill ran down my back, I was asked why I killed those two boys, but I held back in the end, I don't want to ask, Arouse the killing intent of these female ghosts, although I also think it is impossible.

Who knew that Lulu said it first: "The two boys stepped on Sister Jiajia's spirit seat, so they were killed by Sister Jiajia."

I was stunned for a moment, why did another sister Jiajia come out to return the god's seat, and seeing Lulu speak up, I knew that my worry just now was unnecessary, and once the fear was gone, the fire of gossip in my heart burned blazingly.
