Shen Changan ran back to Teacher Yao's house and saw that Teacher Yao was holding a letter in his hand.
"There's something... I wanted to tell you when you came to see me two years ago, but you were busy preparing for a competition at the time, and I was afraid it would affect your performance, so I didn't say it. Mr. Yao put the letter in Shen Changan's hand, "This letter has been lying in my mailbox for a long time. It was not until I changed the mailbox three years ago that I found that there were two letters in the mailbox."
All the journals and magazines he ordered over the years were sent to the guard room, and the mailbox was not used at all, so he never thought that there would be a girl who put these two letters in it before she died.
"This is..." Shen Changan looked at the graceful words on the envelope. There was no postmark or stamp on it, only the words "Please pass it to Shen Changan, Mr. Yao".
"Do you still remember a girl named Lin Cui?" Teacher Yao saw Shen Changan staring at the envelope, "When she was in the second semester of high school, her family asked her to drop out."
Shen Changan thought back carefully, there seemed to be an unremarkable girl in the class, what was her name Cui, he had no impression of this girl, only remembered that she always walked with her head down and against the wall, even when there were many people. She covered her face with her hands, afraid that others would look at her.
But why did this girl write to him
"Shortly after Lin Cui dropped out of school, she committed suicide."
Shen Changan's eyes widened in shock, he looked up at Teacher Yao, "Why?"
Mr. Yao shook his head: "I don't know. In the letter she left me, she only thanked me for taking care of her." Mrs. Yao regretted it a little. If Lin Cui's family went through the withdrawal procedures for her, he could have been more concerned, maybe Things don't turn out like this.
Lin Cui was not yet eighteen years old when he died, and he was still at an average age. He didn't know what drove this girl to a dead end. After seeing the letter three years ago, he went to Lin Cui's house to find her family, but was scolded by her family.
"I see..." Shen Changan put the letter into his jacket, he smiled at Teacher Yao reluctantly, "Teacher, the weather is cold, you have to pay more attention to your body."
"I know how to maintain health better than you young people." Teacher Yao patted him on the shoulder, "Be good, when the teacher celebrates her 80th birthday, you are still waiting for you skinny kids to congratulate me on my birthday. Woolen cloth."
"Not only is it your 80th birthday, but on your 100th birthday, I also packed myself into a handsome spirit to attend the birthday banquet." Shen Changan glanced at the time, "You rest early, I'll come to see you next time. "
"Okay." Teacher Yao waved at him, his eyes full of love.
Carrying the yellowed letter, Shen Changan went downstairs and walked towards Dao Nian who was waiting in place: "Dao Nian, let's go."
After walking a few steps, he found that the little girl he saw in the afternoon was hiding behind a tree trunk, and seemed to open his mouth to say something to him, but Shen Changan didn't hear anything.
"What?" Shen Changan stopped and looked at the girl, "What are you talking about?"
The little girl pointed to her throat, and then pointed in the direction of Shen Changan, shaking her head violently, her face full of fear.
Daonian looked back at her slowly, she stopped shaking her head, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and prepared to rush over, but she found that her feet seemed to have taken root and could not move half a step.
"The little girl wants to talk to you, but she is shy when she sees you are good-looking." Shen Tu smiled and teased, "Chang'an, the little girl is still underage, you must not make mistakes of principle."
Shen Changan: "Shen Tu, don't imitate greasy old men and make jokes about little girls."
Shen Tu: "..."
Greasy old man? he
Shen Changan waved to the little girl: "Goodbye, go back to reading early."
The little girl froze, she looked at the smile on Shen Changan's face, her shoulders gradually dropped, and she squatted down holding her knees.
Seeing the little girl shrink into a ball, Shen Changan sighed and pushed Daonian out.
Shen Tu: "Aren't you going to comfort me?"
"No matter what she's thinking, as an adult man, I shouldn't do anything to make her misunderstand." Shen Changan took Daonian into the car, "Underage girls are ignorant, adults should know themselves doing what."
Shen Tu put the wheelchair into the trunk and smiled at Shen Changan: "This idea is correct."
When getting into the car, the letter that Shen Changan put in his jacket pocket fell out.
"What is this?" Daonian glanced at the letter, not intending to pick it up for Shen Changan.
"this… "
The car had already started, and the street lights outside were not bright enough. Shen Changan bent down and picked up the letter: "A suicide note."
A suicide note that was written six years ago and has only now reached him.
High school brought him happiness and some bad memories. When people are in their teens, they are the most unrestrained and presumptuous age. They think that they have grown up, so they can be fearless. However, in this age group, some people in order to pursue their own happiness, even if they hurt others. No worries.
The classmates who have a good relationship with him can also turn around to bully other students who seem to be honest. After he stops them, they will always think that this is a betrayal of friendship.
Perhaps it was because he had lived with older people since he was a child, and Shen Changan was more mature than his peers. Everyone becomes close friends.
Probably because of his mature thinking, it was out of tune with his classmates in their middle school years.
Daonian was silent for a moment, and said to Shen Tu: "Shen Tu, find a place to park."
Shen Tu parked the car on the side of the road, Daonian turned on the reading light in the car, and said to Shen Changan, "Open it and see."
"I'll go across and buy two cups of tea." Shen Tu opened the car door and walked out. In the quiet car, only Daonian and Shen Changan were left.
Shen Changan carefully opened the envelope and took out two pieces of letter paper that had been lying in the envelope for six years.
[Hello Shen Changan:
By the time you read this letter, I'm probably out of this world. I'm sorry, I delivered the letter to you in this way, because I don't know of any other way to let you see this letter besides Teacher Yao.
Maybe I shouldn't write this letter to bother you, but there are not many people I want to thank in my life, and there are not many people who have given me warmth, so please forgive my willfulness.
I sat in the house all night and felt a little unwilling to leave this dirty world so silently, so I wanted to leave something behind.
…]
Shen Changan carefully looked at the contents of the letter, not missing a single word.
[I know that I am not beautiful, and I also know that the clothes I wear are ugly and dirty. I can see all the mocking eyes that fall on me. I want to pretend I don't care, but I can't. Sometimes I go to the toilet, pass the corridor, and hear some boys laughing, so I can't wait to rush over and fight them hard.
But I dare not, I was born a coward. I was poor, ordinary, unable to joke, sensitive and unlikable, so I was ostracized and laughed at. I secretly envy other girls with beautiful hairpins and expensive extra-curricular books, where they can get together to discuss the latest TV show, which star is better, and I… nothing.
It is so uncomfortable to be ridiculed and ridiculed. I often think, how good would it be if I was beautiful, had a wealthy family background, and had loving parents? Will my classmates stop calling me a "mucky girl" and show me strange smiles?]
Looking at this text, Shen Changan gradually had some impressions in his mind. At that time, there were a few naughty boys who liked to get together and talk about who the beauties and ugly girls in the class were. He didn't like to talk to them. Playing with all kinds of people, and sometimes they get into too much trouble, and he stands up to stop it.
But unless he covers the mouths of these classmates, their cheapness will not change.
[Shen Changan, thank you for standing up to protect my weak face when I was most embarrassed.]
Shen Changan remembered that when he was a freshman in high school, he didn't know which girl accidentally dropped a piece of women's menstrual period supplies. At that time, the naughty boys in the class jokingly pointed and guessed who dropped the item. In the end, they The result of the guess seems to be this girl named Lin Cui
[At that moment, I was extremely embarrassed. Under the mocking eyes of my classmates, I wished I could jump out of the window. When you stood up, picked up that pad and threw it in the trash, I felt like someone in the world finally put a dress on for me when I was most ashamed.
You stood on the podium and said to those jeering classmates: "Don't make trouble, don't borrow me to copy your homework after you make trouble again, it doesn't matter whether you copy your homework or not, the important thing is that I want to please half of the world's population. female classmates."
Everyone started booing, asking if you had a girl you liked, and forgetting about the sanitary napkins.]
In this girl's letter, Shen Changan helped her several times. He lent her an umbrella, lent her a pen, and even handed her a bottle of water in the physical exam class, all of which she remembered.
This kind of trivial matter has long been forgotten by Shen Changan, but this girl remembers it so clearly. He felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that he didn't help her a little more at the beginning.
[I want to study hard, be admitted to the same university as you, and then stand in front of you confidently and be friends with you. But all this is impossible. My disgusting family, disgusting stepfather, shattered all my dreams.
Shen Changan, I am so sad.
If a person can really become a ghost when he dies, I will definitely not forgive him.
It's so hard to live, it's so painful.
I won't be able to be your friend for the rest of my life, bye.
I hope you can find a good girl, spend your whole life with you, and live a very, very happy life.]
Shen Changan shook his hands and put the letter away, he suddenly remembered something, saw Shen Tu walking over with milk tea, turned his head and said to Daonian: "Dao Nian, it's cold outside, wait for me in the car with Shen Tu for a while. ."
He opened the door and ran out.
"Shen Changan, where are you going?" As soon as Shen Tu walked to the side of the car, he saw Shen Changan running out, opening the car door and looking at Daonian, "Sir, has Shen Changan already discovered that girl, is it... Ghost?"
Daonian kept his face calm and did not speak.
"Should we go over there and see?"
"He told us to wait for him here."
Shen Tu: "..."
So you just wait here obediently? When did you talk so nicely, sir
"We'll be there in five minutes." Daonian was righteous, he waited, but didn't say how long.
Shen Tu silently sat back in the driver's seat, well, he understood.
Every school seems to have its own ghost rumors. A school without ghost stories is not a perfect school.
The girl ran desperately, and she followed a yellow-robed Taoist priest unhurriedly behind her: "Evil ghost, be obedient and capture it, or don't blame Ben Tao for beating you to pieces."
As soon as the voice fell, he threw a yellow talisman in his hand, and the girl screamed and fell from the air, lying on the ground trembling uncontrollably. She looked at the Taoist who was getting closer and closer to her in horror, "Please, please spare me."
"You are full of anger, if this Dao spares you, wouldn't it let you do harm?" The Taoist priest carried the peach wood sword, "If there is this Dao, you don't want to harm people."
There was hatred in the girl's eyes: "You Taoist priests who don't distinguish between right and wrong, when I was bullied, no one of you was there. Now I am dead, and I stay in the school quietly, and I have never harmed anyone. Except me?!"
The night wind blew up the ginkgo leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound. The Taoist priest in yellow robe found that the hostile energy was pouring towards the girl from all directions, and this powerful aura forced him to be unable to take a step closer.
This is, this is... going to evolve into a demon
Daoist Huangpao was shocked, he raised the peach wood sword and wanted to cut open the ghost's soul and stop her evolution. However, as soon as the peach wood sword touched the female ghost, it turned into pieces.
"Since you are so unfair, then I will find justice myself." The girl's fingers skyrocketed, her eyes were red, and she was surrounded by evil spirits, "I want you who have harmed me to pay with blood!"
The bright moonlight gradually turned crimson, and the yellow-robed Taoist priest was covered in sweat. He turned around and was about to run, but the girl grabbed the back of his shirt.
"Don't you want to arrest me, what are you running for?" The girl gave a sharp sneer, "You stinky Taoists claim to be righteous, I want to see what your Taoist hearts smell like!"
Because she didn't have a father, she was bullied since childhood and laughed at by her classmates at school. Her mother watched her stepfather bully her, but said she seduced her stepfather. When she was alive, she didn't have any reason. After she died, she just wanted to stay in this school, see the teacher who had taken care of her, wait for the only boy who helped her, and occasionally return to her alma mater to visit the teacher.
All she asks for is this, why are these people unwilling to let her go
kill them!
Get revenge on them!
Since they don't want her to live, what else does she care about
No one should think better.
"Lin Cui."
"Lin Cui, are you still there?"
The hand that had plunged into the back of the Taoist priest slowly stopped. Lin Cui looked at her ten fingers, and then glanced at the Taoist priest's bleeding back, and suddenly pulled her hand back.
"Hi!" Although he couldn't see it, the Taoist priest in yellow robe felt that the wound on his back was bleeding like a fountain. Seeing the female ghost let him go, after he rolled and ran for a distance, he suddenly thought that the person who just called his name might be a stupid and ignorant mortal, and the female ghost only needs the blink of an eye to kill a mortal.
He cursed and turned back.
Thinking of him Ting Zheng has been beautiful for nearly ten years, but his life has been getting worse and worse recently. Not only was he held at the police station for a few days, but he was also publicly announced by the master to be expelled from the school, and his Taoist certificate was revoked by the association. I wanted to come to the Imperial Capital to earn some money to watch Feng Shui, but I found that the school had ghosts, and I was worried that the students would be harmed by ghosts, so I just accepted a ghost for free.
Since he went to Wuming City, his luck has been getting worse day by day, and that place must be at odds with him. In the future, he must be hundreds of kilometers away from Wuming City. No matter how much money he has, he will not earn it.
"Evil ghost, do not harm innocent mortals, or you will be cast into eighteen layers of hell..."
"Go away!" The female ghost slapped Ting Zheng in the pile of ginkgo leaves.
Ting Zheng covered his mouth, picked up the teeth that fell from the ground, and slowly got up from the ground. He'd better run for his life quickly, in front of this kind of ghost who can dominate one side, he is a bronze player and can't save mortals who want to die.
But before he could take two steps, the man who called the name came running over from the tree-lined path.
In a suit and leather shoes, with long white legs, he looks like... eh
Isn't this the ordinary person that his master used to mock him when he was in Wuming City? Why is he here
No wonder he was so unlucky tonight, there were people from Wuming City here. It's not that he likes to fire map cannons, he feels that not only Wuming City, but even the people of Wuming City are against him.
Shen Changan ran out of breath and walked across the tree-lined path. After seeing the girl standing under the moonlight, he slowed down: "Are you... Lin Cui?"
The female ghost lowered her head and secretly hid her hands behind her back.
Her thin body, without leaving a shadow in the moonlight, stood alone, looking a little pitiful.
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you at first." Shen Changan took a few steps forward, the girl saw him approaching, lowered her head and took a few steps back in silence.
Realizing that she didn't want to get too close, Shen Changan stopped: "I saw the letter you left me."
The female ghost raised her head to look at Shen Changan, her red pupils looked particularly terrifying under the moonlight.
As if Shen Changan didn't see it, he apologized to the girl: "I'm sorry, I didn't help you back then."
"Everyone has their own life. It is the most beautiful warmth in the world to have the courage to stand up when they see injustice." The girl said it carefully, she seemed to be afraid that Shen Changan would be sad, "I should give it to you. Say thank you, thank you for bringing bright sunshine in my humble and ordinary life."
Thinking of the contents of that letter, Shen Changan felt very uncomfortable: "Don't worry, I will help you get justice, and I won't let the perpetrators go unpunished."
"So many years have passed, and there is no evidence." The girl shook her head, "Shen Changan, if you go to the police now, it will only cause you trouble. Shen Changan, my life is over, I don't want to give it to you because of me. Life brings trouble."
"It's not a trouble to make a move for an old classmate." Shen Changan shook his head firmly, "Only by making those who have done evil pay the price, the world will become orderly and beautiful."
The redness in the girl's pupils faded a little, and her long fingers returned to their normal appearance little by little. She turned back to the way she was when she died, with injuries all over her body. Although she lost hope of life, she was not crazy.
Ting Zheng, whose back was covered in blood, looked at this scene in disbelief. This person... actually overcame the Specter with words? !
Could it be that Master didn't lie to him, this passerby is really better than him
"Shen Changan, thank you." The girl smiled timidly as she looked at the handsome and perfect boy in front of her. Every day she looked at the photos on the propaganda board, guessing what kind of life he was living now, whether he was happy, whether he was successful, whether he was accompanied by lovely girls.
But all the guesses couldn't compare to the moment when his real person appeared.
He was as soft-hearted and kind as he was then, and asked her if she needed help. She didn't expect Shen Changan to see her, she was both happy and inferior, happy that they met again, and inferior that even if she became a ghost, she was still ugly and ordinary.
In the past, she always saw him coming in a hurry and leaving from Teacher Yao's house in a hurry, but she only dared to look at him from a distance, and even felt that if she tried to fail him, it would be a blasphemy.
She waited here for six years and finally met him. He was not afraid because she was a ghost, nor did he dislike her because she was covered in injuries.
How can there be such a good person in the world.
If she kills someone...
Shen Changan must be very disappointed, very sad, right
"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the police." Shen Changan looked at the girl's body that seemed to be a little more transparent, "Do you have any more evidence to provide?"
The girl was silent for a long time: "Do you feel... dirty?"
"Every girl is a cute little angel." Shen Changan looked at the fragile girl in front of him, "It's those wicked people who are dirty."
The girl wanted to cry, but there were no tears in her eyes. She touched the corners of her dry eyes: "I hid a diary and a USB flash drive in a hole on the balcony at home."
She didn't want others to see that diary all her life, especially Shen Changan.
However, she wanted to be brave again tonight.
Maybe after tonight, she won't have the chance to be brave again.
"I remember." Shen Changan walked into the little girl and stretched out a clean palm towards her, "Introduce yourself again, I'm Shen Changan, do you want to be my friend?"
The girl stared at Shen Changan in a daze, reached out her hand cautiously, and retracted it timidly.
"Won't you shake hands with me?" Shen Changan smiled at her.
The girl slowly and firmly stretched out her hand.
Her thin, rough hand covered with scars trembled and held Shen Changan's warm palm: "I, my name is Lin Cui, I want, I want to be your friend."
When the two hands were held together, a warm silver light filled her body, and her body became lighter.
"Good friend, I wish you a warm family in the next life, parents who treat you like jewels, a happy childhood, and a safe and happy life." Shen Changan stretched out his other hand and gently touched the top of her head, " It's time for you to find a new life."
The warm touch on the top of her head made the girl forget all the pain and unwillingness. She stared blankly at the smiling young man in front of her: "In the next life, will I have these?"
"Yes." Shen Changan nodded.
"I believe in you." She showed a shy smile.
Shen Changan turned his head back and looked up at the soul-inducing butterfly flying out of the woods: "Then, goodbye, my good friend."
"Shen Changan, you have to be careful with him."
"Watch out for who?"
"Be careful… "
"Chang'an." Daonian appeared under the ginkgo tree in a wheelchair, and the moonlight stretched his shadow, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why haven't you come back?"
Shen Changan turned to look at Daonian, and then looked at Lin Cui's dead soul, who turned into a light, followed by the soul-inducing butterfly, and walked back to Daonian: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Daonian: "What happened just now?"
"It's a small matter." Shen Changan took out his phone, "I may need to call the police."
"The alarm can be delayed for two minutes. Can you call an ambulance for me first?" In the pile of ginkgo leaves, he stretched out a hand tremblingly, "I think I may have lost a little blood."
In the evening, he stretched out a bloody hand, startling Shen Changan, and subconsciously blocked Daonian behind him: "Who?"
"Me." Ting Zheng raised his head from the pile of dead leaves, "People, alive, need rescue."
You can escape even a Specter, are you still afraid of a living person
Shen Changan: "..."
This is not Ting Zheng, whose Taoist certificate has been revoked, why is he here
The person Lin Cui told him to be careful just now was him
The author has something to say: Sometimes I really hope that there will be a kind-hearted Shen Changan around everyone who is in despair.
