Zhong Hua was also smiling, but this smile was too bitter. He looked at the little girl in front of him.
She was still the same size as she remembered, so it could be seen that she was killed shortly after leaving home.
Such a small, well-behaved child could have grown up happily...
"Xi Liu, come to brother."
He stretched out his arms and made a gesture of hugging. The little girl also passed by with her legs. Seeing that she was about to reach her, she suddenly stopped.
Xi Liu raised her palm-sized face, looked carefully at the person in front of her, and said seriously, "Brother, I'm going to strangle uncle to death now, can you wait for me for a while?"
Her voice was still full of childishness, sweet and coquettish to those close to her, but it was such a sweet voice, but she said something that made her face turn pale.
Zhong Hua stared blankly at the girl in front of her. Her face was white and her hair was messy. Her beautiful eyes, which were originally full of innocence and childishness, were now covered with hatred.
Those eyes used to be black and bright, reminiscent of the most beautiful stars, but now, they are full of red, like an evil spirit that just crawled out of hell.
What should be scared, she is no longer that cute little sister, but a ghost that has been dead for several years.
But, why do you get scared
Xi Liu couldn't come, so Zhong Hua went.
The young man walked to her side slowly, carefully, little by little, picked up the little child.
Light and weightless, but he touched it.
It was only after he picked him up that he discovered the mark on Xi Liu's neck, it was a pinch mark left by the adult's hand, it was bruised and purple, it looked terrifying.
Zhong Hua stretched out his hand, touched it carefully, and asked in a shy voice, "Does it hurt?"
The little girl snuggled into her brother's arms obediently, and shook her head, "It hurt a lot at that time, but it doesn't hurt now."
She opened her eyes wide, turned her head unwillingly, and looked in the direction of the enemy, with a crisp voice, "Brother, uncle is a bad person, I will strangle him to death."
"Xi Liu, good boy, he is a bad person, he will be punished, don't do it yourself, okay?"
The young man's reassurance did not make Xi Liu happy, she pursed her lips, her eyes were filled with blood, "I want him to die, I want him to be like Xi Liu!"
Zhong Hua's eyes were red, he didn't want that scum to die, but Master Wei said that if Xi Liu really did something, she would never be able to reincarnate again.
"Xi Liu, you heard from my brother that his life expectancy is more than a month away, even if you don't do anything, he will still hurt to death..."
The little girl pushed him away, and her feet fell to the ground lightly. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, and when they fell down her fair cheeks, they turned into tears of blood again.
"I can't wait..."
Her voice was still immature as a girl's, but it was as hoarse as an old man's. Xi Liu stood on the ground with wounds on her originally tender feet.
"Uncle buried me in a mountain of rubbish. It smells so bad and dirty. My whole body hurts from the sun, like being scorched by fire, but he can walk under the sun..."
"I know good kids shouldn't be jealous, but Xi Liu just can't help being jealous of uncle."
"He is a bad person, why can't he be roasted by the sun, why can he talk to many people, Xiliu must hide in a dirty place that is not exposed to the sun, no one can see me, no one can talk to me... at night Walking on the road is very scary, if you see people, you have to avoid them, otherwise you will feel very painful... "
"I wanted to go home to look for my grandpa, but after walking for a long time, I realized that even if I went home, grandpa would never see Xiliu again... He would never see Xiliu again, he would not call Xiliu by his name, and he would not bring Xiliu with him." Xi Liu went to play..."
Zhong Hua's heart swelled heavily when he heard this, and his hatred for Wang Jinchuan deepened in his heart, and his tears couldn't stop falling down.
"Xi Liu, go home..."
The crying girl turned her head abruptly, and stared in the direction of Wang Jinchuan's house with hatred in her innocent eyes, "It's all uncle's fault!"
"Xi Liu found him with great difficulty. Every day and every night, he worked very hard to make him like Xi Liu, but he couldn't feel it, he just couldn't feel it!!"
"But now it's different..."
The little girl turned around happily, showing a lovely smile with dimples, full of sweet expectation, she stretched out her hands, and showed Zhong Hua the fleshy white and tender hands that belonged to children.
"Brother, I met uncle just now."
"Just a little bit, just a little bit, he can be like Xi Liu, he will also be roasted by the sun, and he will also be hit by people..."
On Xi Liu's cute and delicate face, the smile grew bigger and bigger, and her eyes became redder.
She smiled happily, and said sweetly: "Brother, just wait for me a little, and when I kill uncle, I will go home with you."
"When you kill him, you will never be able to go home."
The crutch hit the stone, and a man in Taoist robe came out of the bamboo forest. He came to Zhong Hua and put away the bell in the young man's hand.
Wei Mingyan took out a red thread from his sleeve, and slowly tied it around the bell, wrapping it around and around.
"You didn't do anything bad when you were a human being, and you were able to reincarnate smoothly, but when you kill someone as a clean soul and your hands are stained with blood, you can no longer reincarnate."
The handsome man raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the stubborn girl lightly, "Didn't I tell you all of this?"
"In a month or so, Wang Jinchuan will die of pain. You can still smash him to pieces. Even if you bite off his soul, it won't be a serious problem, but now, you can't."
Xi Liu gradually clenched her little hands, she gritted her teeth, and took a step back with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to wait."
"No matter how painful or uncomfortable he is, he is still alive!!"
"He can eat, drink water, walk casually under the sun, many people will see him and talk to him, walking on the street, he can bump into people casually without pain..."
"Even if he rolls over in pain and hits the wall, he's still alive!!"
"But I'm dead!" Her eyes were full of hatred, and she wept every word, like tears of blood, "I want to live too, and I want to talk to people, no one can see me, no one I can hear my voice, I know that I am dead, and when I die, there is nothing left!!"
"But uncle is alive, no matter how painful he is, he is still alive!"
Zhong Hua's eyes were bloodshot, and he took a step forward, trying to protect the little sister he had grown up with in his arms.
"Xi Liu, he will die, he will die soon, it is not worth giving up reincarnation for such a person, listen to brother, ah."
"worth!!"
The little girl could even be called a sharp response, "He killed me, why can't I kill him!"
"I just want him to be like me, why not!"
"One day he lives, one day I suffer!"
"So, I'm going to kill him, I'm not wrong!"
Zhong Hua finally embraced this cold child's soul in his arms: "Xi Liu, you are obedient, can you be obedient first? My brother will help you avenge, where is your body? My brother will help you find it, okay? "
Xi Liu leaned against his arms, the flash of ferocity dissipated after seeing someone close to him, she burst into tears, "Brother, don't you love me anymore? Why do you both Protect him, obviously... he is the bad guy... "
"Xi Liu listened to what grandpa said. Xi Liu never did a single bad thing, but Xi Liu is dead. You will never see Xi Liu again. You can't, you can't talk to Xi Liu..."
"This is all caused by my uncle. He caused Xiliu to become what he is now. He is a bad guy. Why do you still protect the bad guys..."
"No, it's not like this..." Zhong Hua's heart softened when the girl in his arms cried. He was sad and tried his best to pretend nothing had happened. His eyes were red and he forced out a smile.
"Xi Liu, my brother can see you. From now on, you will follow my brother, and my brother will take you to work. It's fun there. You can watch TV and watch the computer. If you like any clothes, my brother will buy them for you." How are you?"
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, tenderly and full of pity, and helped the little girl tidy her hair, "Just follow my brother, he will protect you, okay?"
Xi Liu looked up at Zhong Hua in a daze, just when the young man thought she agreed, the little girl in front of him pushed his hand away and ran out of his embrace.
"Thank you brother."
"I'll come to you after I kill my uncle."
"Xi Liu!! Xi Liu!!"
Zhong Hua stands up helplessly and wants to catch up, but Wei Mingyan grabs his arm.
He was so flustered that he didn't know what to do. Seeing the man in a Taoist robe in front of him was like meeting a god, "Master Wei, can you stop Xi Liu..."
"late."
Wei Mingyan looked at the child in front who was becoming more and more solid, and his eyes dimmed, "She has become a ghost."
"Even if you don't move that man, Li Gui can't be reincarnated."
"Li Gui... Li Gui... No, no master, Xi Liu is a good child, she is very obedient, very obedient, she will not harm others, I beg you to help her, she has never done anything bad , it shouldn't be like this..."
Wei Mingyan's eyes were always on the direction where Xi Liu disappeared, and he finally wrapped up the bell that was bound by the red string, and slowly put it away in his sleeve.
"Since Xiliu died, she has possessed Wang Jinchuan. She has never done anything bad, but she is a child, a blank slate, and no one has taught her. Afterwards, Wang Jinchuan has done all kinds of bad things. guy."
"I reckon Xi Liu should have learned a lot from him."
"A child is like a knife. When taught by a good man, it is a good knife. If a wicked man holds it, even the best knife will be taught to be bad. What's more, since Xiliu died, no one can see it anymore. It's not surprising that she has to endure the pain of the sun again and turn into a ghost."
Zhong Hua couldn't accept this answer, he shook his head in a daze, "But she is still a child, she doesn't understand anything, it's not her fault..."
"It's really not her fault."
Wei Mingyan patted his sleeves lightly, and walked forward slowly, "This ending is fine, but it's not fair for Xi Liu, who has suffered a serious crime, to go to reincarnation without doing anything."
"Master, master, what do you mean by that, don't you care about Xiliu? Master..."
Zhong Hua looked at the man in front of him who followed Xi Liu's footsteps, and hurriedly wanted to follow, but he didn't know what was going on, the handsome Taoist priest was walking slowly, but he couldn't keep up.
He could only call for the Taoist priest to follow behind.
***
Wang Jinchuan had a dream. He was always dreaming these days. He dreamed that he was rolling around on many iron nails. His whole body hurt from rolling, and he couldn't stop until he became a bloody man.
He howled in pain, calling for help all night, until he woke up, the pain in his body just made him fall into a more lucid dream.
But today's dream changed. He dreamed that he fell into a frozen lake, surrounded by icy lake water. He struggled desperately, but he just couldn't get out.
There are many vicious dogs in the lake. They have blood-red eyes and long fangs, and they are fiercely staring at the surroundings.
Wang Jinchuan was terrified. He desperately wanted to swim up, but his neck was entangled by the water plants in the lake. As he struggled, the water plants became more and more tightly entangled. He couldn't breathe, and he couldn't use his feet. Full of despair.
-Help!
—Who will save him!
—Is there anyone who can help!
Desperate, painful, suffocating, the vicious dogs all around rushed up with blood-red eyes, biting at his body.
Wang Jinchuan opened his eyes suddenly, but met the gaze of a little girl.
She has cute and beautiful delicate facial features, and she wears cartoon clothes full of childishness, but her round eyes, which were originally full of innocence, are full of hatred and blood.
"uncle… "
Xi Liu smiled sweetly, "Does it hurt?"
The man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he struggled desperately, trying to shake off the hand on his neck, but it was useless, it was useless at all.
It was clearly the hands of a child, but these small hands, which were once easily restrained, have now become a sickle that kills him.
Breathing was forced to stop, Wang Jinchuan's face was swollen red due to suffocation, and his eyes were also bloodshot little by little.
He had never realized so clearly that he was going to die.
During this period of time, no matter how painful it was, no matter how painful it was, Wang Jinchuan never thought of dying.
Only by living can there be hope, and he will not be so stupid as to kill his own hope with his own hands.
Fortunately, Liu will not allow Wang Jinchuan to have hope.
The man's eyes gradually became cloudy, and he desperately stretched out his hand to struggle, calling for help, making a "uh uh" cry for help.
He doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to die—
When you die, there is nothing—
"Hi... hi... hi Liu..."
Finally, the man who was strangled made a sound. He struggled and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice, "I was wrong... wrong, Xi Liu...don't kill me..."
"... Please... Xi Liu..."
The little hand on the neck slowly loosened.
Wang Jinchuan suddenly got the air, and quickly took a big mouthful of breath. Because he was too anxious, he coughed. Even if the cough made him feel uncomfortable, the man still tried his best to breathe.
He wants to live, must live.
"Uncle, do you really know what's wrong?"
The girl's crisp voice sounded clear, and Wang Jinchuan trembled all over, trying to suppress his fear, and raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him.
The little girl in front of her was fair-skinned and had big eyes. She was sitting on the edge of the bed in an obedient posture. Except for her blood-red eyes, there was no difference between her and a human being.
Seeing that Wang Jinchuan didn't answer, Xi Liu tilted his head and asked again, "Uncle, do you know you're wrong?"
"I know, I know... I know I was wrong, Xi Liu, I am sorry for you, I am a beast, I am not human..."
The man didn't care about coughing, so he quickly got up, huddled in the corner, and desperately stretched out his palms to hold his face.
He was terrified, and he used a lot of force, and palm prints soon appeared on his face, but even so, Wang Jinchuan didn't think it was enough, and under the quiet gaze of the little girl, he hit himself with all his might.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Xi Liu, can you let me and uncle go?"
The man begged, but the little girl kept her original sitting posture. She blinked her blood-red eyes, her face showed a bit of innocence, and she smiled on her fair little face, "Do you want me to forgive you, uncle?"
"Yes, yes, Xi Liu, you are a good boy, you let uncle, uncle will burn paper for you, worship every year, okay!"
The girl shook her head, her childish and cute face was full of innocence, "Uncle, cut off your hand, that day, he pinched Xi Liu's hand."
"If you lose your hand, I will forgive Uncle."
The man's face was paler than before.
"Xi... Xi Liu, must it be like this? If my uncle cuts off his hand, it will hurt... Xi Liu is a good boy, so he won't bear it, right?"
The little girl pursed her lips unhappily, "But when my uncle pinched Xi Liu, I also felt very hurt."
"If uncle doesn't want to, come and stay with me..."
"No no no!!! Uncle is willing, uncle is willing—"
Wang Jinchuan went to the kitchen at home with soft legs. There was a butcher's knife in his house. It was left by his long-dead father, and it was extremely sharp.
He held the knife in his right hand, and put his left hand on the chopping board. The sweat from his body fell like raindrops, and soon soaked the whole suit of clothes.
"Xi Liu, I, I only cut off the left hand, okay? I can't cut off both hands..."
The little girl in cartoon Mickey Mouse clothes followed behind. She stood on tiptoe, looked with her head, and said innocently, "Okay."
"I also think that uncle can't cut two hands by himself."
Before Wang Jinchuan could heave a sigh of relief, Xiliu continued, "Then cut off the right hand and right leg."
The man has been stiff for a long time and can no longer be stiff.
If he lost his arms and legs, how would he live in the future.
"Xi Liu, Uncle Xi Liu, please..."
When the knife fell to the ground, Wang Jinchuan knelt down and begged the little girl who was strangled to death by his own hands, "Please let me go, I really know I was wrong, let me go..."
Xi Liu's expression turned indifferent, the little girl's stern face should be fun, but her blood red eyes made her seep like a ghost who just climbed up from hell.
"Isn't uncle treating those in debt the same way?"
She squatted down, carefully keeping her Mickey Mouse clothes from touching the ground, picked up the kitchen knife, handed it to the man, and smiled at him.
The voice is sweet, waxy, crisp and pleasant to hear, "I learned this from my uncle."
"Didn't uncle always say that you have to cut off your finger or pay back the money?"
"Uncle either cut off his right hand and right leg, or become like Xi Liu, it's very simple, right?"
Wang Jinchuan shook his hands, eyes full of horror and despair, and took the butcher's knife.
In the process of receiving the butcher's knife, he touched the little girl's hand.
It was cold, with a chill that made him shiver all over.
"Xi...Xi Liu, I cut off my hands and legs, will you forgive me?"
Listening to the man's expectant question, the little girl showed a cute smile, "Yes, I will forgive uncle."
In order to survive, as long as you can survive!
Wang Jinchuan gritted his teeth, his forehead was covered with sweat, and raised the knife to his right hand.
- "Ah!!!"
He was so painful that he almost fainted, his whole body was shaking, and tears burst out in an instant.
Blood splattered all over the ground, and the left hand holding the knife hangs down weakly.
The short, chubby child's fingertips touched Wang Jinchuan's right leg with cold fingertips. The man's face was covered with sweat and tears, and he raised his head dripping wet, and met the beautiful big eyes of the little girl who had finished laughing.
She reminded crisply, "Uncle, you still have legs."
Wang Jinchuan closed his eyes in despair, and swung down vigorously.
There was another scream, and the man almost collapsed, his lips turned white in an instant, and he fell to the ground, howling.
It hurts, it hurts, but at the same time, I feel relieved.
It's good to be alive, just to be alive.
The moment he relaxed, a pair of cold little hands slowly landed on Wang Jinchuan's neck.
The man opened his eyes in disbelief, and tried his best to squeeze out a flattering smile, "Xi Liu, Xi Liu, didn't you say, forgive uncle..."
"I lied to uncle, doesn't uncle like to lie the most?"
The little girl smiled smugly, and slowly tightened her hands.
She leaned over slightly, put her lips next to Wang Jinchuan's ear, and whispered as if whispering:
"Uncle, I asked you to cut off two hands, why didn't you?"
"I don't know what's good or bad."
The last words I heard before I died, I finally paid back.
Wang Jinchuan struggled desperately, his legs kicked weakly on the ground, and finally, little by little, he lost his breath.
Before his soul could come out, he was already torn apart by the swarming bad luck, like scrambling for some delicious food, you pull a piece, I take a bite.
- "Ah!!!"
The voice that only the soul can hear echoed in the room, and the little girl stood up slowly, even though she knew she couldn't touch it, she still bypassed the blood on the ground.
She walked out lightly, the blood in her eyes gradually faded, and after a moment of confusion, only innocence remained.
When he was outside the courtyard, Xi Liu showed a sweet and coquettish smile of a child when he saw the figure of the young man who was sweating profusely and his eyes were full of worry running over panting.
"elder brother!"
She was picked up, and the little girl snuggled into Zhong Hua's arms obediently, rubbing her arms around his neck anxiously, and whispered, "I miss Grandpa."
"I am afraid."
Zhong Hua's heart softened after being rubbed like this by her, and he hugged the little girl and coaxed him non-stop.
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, Xi Liu is not afraid..."
Wei Mingyan leaned against the wall, he didn't know how long he had been here, and at this moment he didn't even look at the howling newborn soul in the room, his eyes fell on Xi Liu who was like an ordinary little girl.
The redness in her eyes faded, she was so white and cute, she was accepting comfort obediently, when she suddenly met the handsome Taoist priest's eyes.
Xi Liu shrank her blood-stained little feet in fear, and her eyes were full of timidity.
The man in the Taoist robe slowly stood up straight, took out the little bell just now, and put it around the little girl's neck under the panicked eyes of the little girl who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
Zhong Hua froze, "Master..."
"Wear this, it can hide the dead breath."
Wei Mingyan stretched out his hand, pricked his index finger, and under Xi Liu's ignorant and vigilant gaze, touched her forehead.
"You will follow me from now on, and when my granddaughter grows up, you will be her playmate."
"You have to do good deeds to get the chance of reincarnation, did you hear me?"
The little girl timidly agreed with tears in her eyes, quietly grabbed Zhong Hua's collar with her small hands, and her two beautiful black eyes were full of fear of Wei Mingyan.
With a crying voice, she answered, "I heard..."
Zhong Hua still had tears on his face. After realizing what Wei Mingyan said, he cried and laughed at the same time, "Thank you, thank you..."
"Let's go, go see your grandfather for the last time, and by the way, teach you to send away the first soul."
Wei Mingyan took the girl whose eyes lit up when she heard Grandpa from Zhong Hua's arms, hugged her and led the way out, and Zhong Hua quickly followed her before he had time to think about it.
As for the desperate screams in the house that the defender clearly heard
Sorry, he is old and his ears are not good.
