little girl
When they reached the iron gate, a white car drove up from a distance. The little girl's mother carried her home again, stuffed her into a closet in the living room, and cried, "Xinxin, be good. No matter what you hear or see, don't make a sound. Don't come out! Mommy loves you..."
"Mom, where are you going?" The little girl saw her mother walk into the living room through the gap in the cabinet. She also saw a man walk in from the door. It was her father who came back!
Ye Jingan wanted to rush out and ask her father to lift her up high.
Lift it high! ?
How could I, a man who's about two meters tall, have such thoughts? When I was little, I never asked my dad to lift me up, but he did, hanging me up by my feet. And why am I happier that her dad is back than her mom? What's going on? I wouldn't dream of doing something like this!
When Ye Jingan was confused, many dolls popped up in her mind. Every time her father came back, he would bring her many dolls. So every time she saw her father, she was particularly happy.
Oh~ So I am completely a little girl now, and all the thoughts in my heart and mind are hers.
This time when he came back, Dad didn't bring Xinxin a doll. Instead, he was holding a big axe in his hand. The sound of the axe hitting the ground was so loud that it made people's scalps tingle.
The man, with a grim expression, walked towards the little girl's mother, raised the axe and chopped it down on her head. The little girl's mother turned her head to avoid it, and the axe hit her shoulder.
The little girl saw her mother kneeling on the ground in pain, smiling and slowly shaking her head in her direction, signaling her not to make a sound.
So much blood, so scary...
The little girl's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she covered her mouth tightly to avoid crying out loud. She watched helplessly as her father chopped her mother into pieces with an axe, and the blood stained the entire living room floor red.
Where is he going to drag my mother's head?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
My mother's head is rotten, I can no longer see her...
The little girl was so frightened that her legs went weak and she sat down in the cupboard with a thud.
"Hmm?" The man looked around in the general direction of the voice, and his eyes finally stopped on the cabinet.
Dad found out and came over with an axe!
Ye Jing'an felt the despair and fear spreading from deep within his heart, and his mind was in a turmoil.
What the hell is going on? This is so frustrating! How am I supposed to get back? I want to be a grown man who can punch two people with one punch, not a frivolous little girl!
She covered her mouth with all her might, but her father still opened the cabinet door.
"Oh~ So Xinxin is hiding here." He took the little girl out of the cabinet.
"Dad, Dad, I'm scared."
The man ignored her cries, took the little girl to her room, and tied her to the bed with ropes.
Ye Jingan saw that he was tied with two shoelaces tied in a bow. He sneered in his heart, with this broken rope, who is he looking down on?
However, he tried his best but couldn't break free. He thought that this time he was finished. She was a little girl now and didn't have the strength she had before. While Ye Jingan was still struggling, he saw the little girl's father walked in with a knife and a smile.
"Xinxin, are you trying to escape?" His expression suddenly changed. "Xinxin is just as naughty as her mother!"
"Dad, Xinxin is good."
Her father's eyes became more and more sinister. He was not looking at his daughter at all, but rather at an enemy.
Ye Jing'an saw the little girl's father take out a whetstone and leisurely sharpen a knife. It was a double-edged dagger with a straight handle. The blade was very thin and very sharp.
His heart began to beat fast. This was usually done by sharpening the knife before slaughtering a pig. Could this little girl have been killed by her father?
The man sharpened his knife, grinned sinisterly, and slashed at the little girl's feet. Ye Jing'an felt a sharp pain in his feet. Instinctively, he cried out and struggled frantically to escape.
The room was filled with the cries and screams of a little girl.
Ye Jingan was shaking with pain. He looked up and saw that the little girl's father had peeled off a layer of skin from her ankle.
What kind of pervert is he? Is he going to skin his daughter alive?
It hurts so much, wake up quickly!
Grandmaster! Brother Liu! Someone please help me. This hurts a million times more than being beaten by my dad.
No one could hear what Ye Jingan was shouting in his heart. He wanted to wake up, but he didn't know how to get out. He wanted to save the little girl, but he couldn't move at all.
Ye Jing'an felt all kinds of emotions he had never felt before. He could no longer tell whose emotions these were. Pain and fear occupied his brain. It was too painful to be skinned like this. It hurt so much that he was willing to give up the people and things he cared about and wanted to die immediately.
The little girl's father didn't stop slashing at her heartbreaking screams. Instead, he became even more excited, giggling crazily. He carefully cut every inch of the skin, seemingly enjoying the torture rather than trying to skin her.
When the skin was almost peeled to his thigh, Ye Jing'an was in extreme pain and his consciousness began to blur. He breathed a sigh of relief.
I can finally die...
Hate, a strong hatred appeared in his mind, and he slowly closed his eyes.
"Ye Jingan, wake up quickly."
Ye Jingan heard someone calling his name again, opened his eyes and saw Brother Liu.
"It's okay, let's go back." Liu Muzhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Jing'an open his eyes.
Ye Jing'an was stunned. Why didn't he die?
Oh yes, it was the little girl who just died. She fainted from the pain. Thank God she woke up!
He stood up, his right leg went limp and he knelt on the ground, where he was caught by Liu Muzhe.
"Ah..." He curled up.
"What's wrong?" Liu Muze didn't understand why he was shaking in pain even though he was already awake. He gently stroked his back and said soothingly, "It's okay. I'm awake now. What did you see?"
Ye Jing'an bit his back teeth tightly, unable to speak due to the pain. He grabbed Liu Muzhe's hand and shook his head slightly.
"Okay, let's go home." Liu Muzhe picked up Ye Jing'an and prepared to go out.
A bloody child stood in front of them.
"Get out of the way!" Liu Muzhe's face was cold and cruel.
The child was afraid of him and didn't dare to make any move, but he also refused to give in.
"I don't care what your purpose is. If you hurt him, you will never be a ghost!" Liu Muzhe's patience has been worn out.
"No, she was... skinned alive." Ye Jing'an held his hand and uttered through gritted teeth.
"What!" Liu Muzhe immediately understood why Ye Jing'an was in so much pain.
Ye Jing'an's head rested weakly on Liu Muzhe's chest. He could clearly feel the violent rise and fall of his chest, and the hands that were holding him were also trembling.
Brother Liu was really angry.
But now he couldn't care less. Ye Jing'an knew that the little girl needed help. He endured the pain, got up from Liu Muze's arms, sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to her. The little girl was afraid of Liu Muze, so she walked over bravely and held his hand.
Ye Jingan closed his eyes involuntarily, his mind was filled with a blur of blood, and the picture gradually became clear.
The little girl lay bloodied and battered on her crib, the pale pink sheets stained red with blood. Driven by the hatred she harbored before her death, she transformed into a demon and attempted to kill her father. However, she failed to kill him and was discovered shortly after becoming a demon.
The little girl's father invited a wizard to trap her here forever.
Later, her father transformed the house into a haunted house and later built an amusement park around it. Although the little girl became a ghost, she did not harm anyone in the haunted house and had been looking for someone who could help her leave until she met these three people.
Ye Jingan woke up from his memories, touched the little girl's head with a trembling hand, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you in the world just now."
The little girl shook her head and retreated into the darkness.
"Brother Liu, she is trapped here. Can you help her out?" Ye Jing'an turned his head and asked.
"I'll send you back first, and I'll take care of things here." Liu Muzhe stared at him with complicated eyes.
Ye Jingan shook his head and said, "I won't go back. I have to help her."
Liu Muze was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
"She must be trapped by a formation or some magical weapon." Liu Muze burned a talisman in front of him, "Use your senses to find the magical weapon that trapped her."
Ye Jingan found himself being pulled along by a mysterious force. He went to the basement and dug out the little girl's skin and a string of black bells made to look like skulls from under a floorboard. The sound of shaking the bells was breathtaking.
"Soul-catching bell, using the soul-devouring array on children is a really good method." Liu Muzhe snorted coldly and crushed the largest bell with one hand.
"!!!" That thing seemed to be made of iron. Was he angry that Brother Liu was so fierce?!
"Burn off the skin and she can leave." Liu Muzhe said while suppressing his anger.
"What is the Soul-Catching Bell, and what about that formation?" Ye Jing'an had never heard of them.
"The Soul-Catching Bell is a magical instrument made by an ancient evil craftsman. It is used to trap souls. The trapped souls will forever cycle through their most painful experiences. The souls will continue to accumulate hatred in the cycle, and eventually lose their minds, become bloodthirsty and murderous, and will never enter reincarnation. The owner of the bell can use this hatred and the resentment of the murdered people to create new evil instruments. This is a very vicious method." Liu Muzhe explained.
"So, she has been experiencing the process of being skinned?" Ye Jing'an didn't dare to think about how painful it would be. She probably had already gotten used to the pain.
"Yeah." Seeing his expression, Liu Muzhe regretted telling him the purpose of the Soul-Catching Bell.
Ye Jing'an didn't say anything. He squatted down and quietly burned the human skin.
Why should a little girl who has never experienced the world do anything wrong suffer all this?
After the human skin was burned, the little girl came over with a smile. But this time she was not bloody and mangled, but the beautiful and happy girl that Ye Jingan had just woken up from the empathy illusion.
"Brother, thank you!" Xinxin jumped in front of Ye Jingan.
Ye Jing'an touched her head. After going through all this, he really didn't know what to say to the little girl in front of him.
"You told my doll that you wanted to be a doll held in someone's palm in your next life. I heard you!" Xinxin took his hand and said, "Can I be your doll and be held in your palm?"
"Of course!" Ye Jing'an said with a smile, "But I don't know where your future mother is right now."
"It's okay, I can wait!" Xinxin smiled brightly.
A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Liu Muzhe's mouth.
Ye Jingan was still a little kid himself, but he had already planned on having a child for the future. This little girl seemed very obedient and wouldn't cause any trouble. As the ancestor, he didn't have to worry too much. Otherwise, if another mischievous child like Ye Jingan came along, even an earthly immortal would have his life shortened.
"I'll give you a candy. Once your wish is fulfilled, you can be reincarnated." Liu Muzhe handed her a small blue bead.
"It's so beautiful, thank you." The little girl ate the bead, smiled and waved to the two men, "Bye, brother, I have to call you daddy next time we meet!"
"Okay, goodbye." Ye Jing'an turned his head and asked Liu Muze, "Brother Liu, where is she going?"
"It's time for us to go back to her home. Can you walk by yourself?" Liu Muzhe held Ye Jing'an's shoulders.
"Well, it doesn't hurt anymore." Ye Jing'an said.
Easter Eggs:
Twenty years later, Xinxin came to the underworld.
The civil servants in the underworld all liked her. When they heard that she wanted to be reborn as Ye Jingan's daughter, they immediately took her to the archives to find Ye Jingan's information.
The official from the underworld typed in the search box on the computer and asked, "Is this correct?"
"Yes." Xinxin responded sweetly.
"Oh no, there are quite a lot of people named Ye Jing'an. Do you remember any other information?" The civil servant looked embarrassed.
Xinxin shook her head and said, "I only remember what he looked like."
"Then let me click on them one by one, and you can see who it is." The civil servant clicked on the first document.
Xinxin shook her head.
More than ten minutes passed.
“That’s him!”
"Oh, okay. Let me take a look. Ye Jing'an is married. His partner is Liu Muze."
When Xinxin heard that Ye Jingan was getting married, she was looking forward to what her future mother would look like. She must be very beautiful and gentle.
Xinxin became more and more excited the more she thought about it. She was going to have a new mother!
The civil servant opened Liu Muzhe's file.
"Hey! Your future mother is really pretty, but she looks a bit like a boy." He glanced at the gender column and slapped his hands on his eyes.
Xinxin didn’t know what his action meant. Was it because her future mother was too beautiful?
She went forward expectantly to take a look, and was instantly petrified.
He, he, he, he, he...isn't he the aloof earthly immortal who was beside Ye Jingan's brother at that time! ?
Oh, men's words are deceiving. The future "mother" I have been waiting for for so long is now far away and right before my eyes! It doesn't matter if I don't get pregnant this time!
She cursed and ran to take the civil service exam in the underworld, ready to settle the score with Ye Jingan after he came back.
n years later...
Xinxin fell silent as she looked at the age column in Ye Jingan's file.
