Chenjia Village
Sheng Lin did not respond and lowered his head. Li Pingan quickly patted his face with his hand and was shocked. It's over. He couldn't be really beaten to death by her.
"Stop filming, I'm not dead." Sheng Lin pulled himself out of Li Ping'an's grasp and straightened his clothes. "I'm sorry, I scared you just now."
To be honest, Sheng Lin's normal appearance now frightened Li Pingan even more. Why was this guy so upset, especially now that his face was bruised and swollen, yet he still had to pretend to be so serious.
"Everything I just said is true. I hope you can seriously consider it." Sheng Lin returned to his seat and sat down. "This won't cause you any loss. On the contrary, it will be very beneficial to you."
Li Pingan frowned and asked, "Why did he come to me?"
If what Sheng Lin said was true, it meant that the man Sheng Lin mentioned had been targeting her for more than ten years, then the death of her parents... Li Pingan pinched his palm and forced himself to calm down.
Sheng Lin shook his head and said, "You may not believe it, but I really don't know."
"Even you, I only confirmed it after we met. You are the one he is looking for."
"Why?" Li Ping'an didn't think there was anything special about him.
"A feeling." Sheng Lin didn't become serious for long, and that weird look appeared again. When he said this, his eyes narrowed.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Now it's your turn. What do you know?" Sheng Lin looked forward to it.
Li Pingan frowned and carefully picked out some things to say. "Last night, when I was passing by the river, I met a ghost. He told me that the door to reincarnation was closed."
Sheng Lin gestured for her to continue, but Li Ping'an thought about it and decided that she was not comfortable revealing the rest to this man whom she had only met once.
Seeing Li Ping'an's hesitation, Sheng Lin frowned at first, then suddenly laughed, pointed at Li Ping'an and nodded, "You have a secret that you don't tell me."
"But it's okay, I have secrets too."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Pingan's reaction, Sheng Lin directly thrust the QR code of his mobile phone in front of Li Pingan and said, "Come on, add me as a friend."
The friend list that hadn't been touched for eight hundred years had new people added to it for two consecutive days. Li Ping'an muttered to himself that none of them were normal people.
"Okay, see you later," Sheng Lin said as he stood up. The door of the coffee shop had opened at some point. He walked to the door and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and smiled at Li Pingan, "I look forward to hearing good news from you."
Li Ping'an frowned and watched his departing back with a serious expression. A girl came up and asked if the coffee tasted unpleasant and if he needed a different cup. Li Ping'an politely declined and did not sit for too long. Until she could no longer see Sheng Lin's back, she picked up the motorcycle key, pushed open the door and walked out. She had one more thing to do today.
Under the scorching sun, a motorcycle was speeding on the road, heading towards Chenjia Village sixty miles away, and stopped in front of the village. Without asking, you could find Ayan's house by following the sound of suona.
Ayan's mother was sitting in front of the door, greeting people with a numb expression. When she saw Li Ping'an, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Li Ping'an stepped forward and handed her the money, "My condolences."
Aunt Lin didn't take Li Ping'an's money. "You are a good child. You thought of giving A Yan a ride. Auntie wants to thank you."
"Ayan loved you the most in the past. If only Ayan could see you," Aunt Lin wanted to cry again as she spoke.
Li Pingan patted Aunt Lin's hand and said a few words of comfort, then asked in a low voice, "Aunt, can I see Ayan one last time?"
"Okay, Auntie will take you there."
Li Ping'an followed Aunt Lin across the yard and came to the living room. There was a wooden bed in the middle. Ayan was lying on it in her funeral clothes. There was yellow paper on her face, and her fingertips exposed through the clothes were pale.
"Ayan, your sister Ping'an is here to see you." Aunt Lin reached out to tidy up Ayan's funeral clothes and touched her head.
"Auntie Lin, what is the coffin parked in the courtyard?" Burials were abolished a few years ago and all people were cremated, but seeing what Auntie Lin said, Ayan still wanted burial.
Aunt Lin turned to look at Li Ping'an, her face filled with sorrow. "Ayan is so young. I don't want her to be alone. Burying her next to her father will give me peace of mind."
"It just so happens that there are so many people dying right now that the crematorium is overwhelmed. So I secretly brought Ayan back."
"Aunt Lin, what happened to Ayan?" Li Pingan didn't think Ayan's death was an accident.
When Aunt Lin heard what Li Ping'an said, tears started streaming down her face, "This is fate, this is fate!
"Ping'an, please leave quickly after you finish seeing Ayan. Be careful when you leave. You must be careful." Aunt Lin suddenly remembered something and repeatedly reminded Li Ping'an.
"Aunt Lin, what was the reason?" Li Ping'an could tell from her words that Ayan's death was definitely not caused by a car accident.
Aunt Lin hesitated for a while, looking at Li Pingan, then looking at A Yan who was lying down, and finally made up her mind after a long time.
"Don't be afraid after hearing this, and don't tell anyone else." After seeing Li Ping'an nod, Aunt Lin continued, "This incident started ten days ago. Chen Pizi's family, who lived at the back of the village, went to the city to celebrate their youngest son's birthday. They didn't return until midnight. On their way back, they drove their car directly into the river. They were not found until the next morning. All six members of the family drowned."
"After this incident, strange things happened in the village more often. There were children crying in the middle of the night, and things seemed to be walking around in his house at night. Chen Pizi's neighbors also said that they could hear him coughing in the middle of the night."
"The village chief thought the family was unwilling to leave and was unwilling to reincarnate, so he asked someone to perform a ritual and burn paper money,"
"After this incident, things were quiet for two days. But six days ago, Er Mazi was riding a motorcycle back from outside and was found dead on the side of the road. There were no rocks on the road, it was a flat road. How could he have died?"
"Er Mazi's family thought Chen Pizi's family had killed him, so they took an axe and broke down the door of his house and burned it. They told people who passed by that it was clearly summer, but the house was terribly cold."
"From that day on, strange things happened more often in the village. The screams and cries of children in the middle of the night became louder and louder."
"Four days ago, a group of people from Houshan Village came to our village with hoes, yelling at us to hand over their children. The village chief thought someone in the village was dishonest and had stolen the children from Houshan Village, so he went to ask the people in Houshan Village, but they couldn't say who stole them. Even the men, women, and children couldn't explain clearly. They just said they saw the people from a distance entering Chenjia Village."
"As they were talking, the two sides started fighting..."
At this point, Aunt Lin suddenly sighed, her tone full of regret, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I knew so many strange things had happened in the village, but I still agreed to let Ayan go to the city to play. It's all my fault that Ayan was harmed." As Aunt Lin spoke, tears began to flow down her face, and she raised her hand to hit herself.
Li Pingan quickly reached out to stop her, "Ayan will be sad to see you like this, Aunt Lin, this is not your fault."
After waiting for Aunt Lin to calm down a little, Li Pingan asked, "Aunt, were there any other victims in the car at that time?"
Although Aunt Lin didn't know why Li Ping'an asked this, she thought about it carefully, then shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me if I tell you this. I was so scared that I lost my mind. I only had Ah Yan in my eyes and didn't notice anyone else."
"But I did hear that there were six or seven people dead on that bus, and there were even smaller ones," Aunt Lin gestured with her hand. It was probably only as long as Li Ping'an's arm. "Now that I think about it, it seems like it was covered with a white cloth. It was only a little bit bigger than this."
Child?
Another child?
"How old is the child who is celebrating his birthday in Chenpizi's family?"
"They are three years old, twins, a boy and a girl. They look like dolls from New Year pictures." When Aunt Lin said this, she thought of Ayan, who left this world early when she was only in her teens.
"Are there any other children in the village?"
"No more." Chenjia Village is not far from the city. Most young people can't stay in the village and take their children to the city. Most of the people in the village are elderly.
"Auntie," a shout suddenly came from outside the door. Aunt Lin quickly stood up and said to Li Ping'an, "You sit here, I'll go and entertain people."
Li Ping'an nodded and looked in the direction where the sound came from. There was a young couple with a little girl of three or four years old. The little girl saw Li Ping'an and smiled shyly.
Li Ping'an looked at the child, smiled, then pointed his finger at his leg, not knowing what he was thinking.
After lunch, some people left one after another, but the little girl's family did not leave. It seemed that they wanted to stay here for one night.
"Aunt Lin, it's getting late. I'll go back first. Please take care of yourself and don't be too sad." Li Ping'an said goodbye to Aunt Lin when there were few people around.
Aunt Lin then realized that Li Ping'an had not left yet, and quickly said, "Hurry, while it's still light, hurry up and leave. Walk slowly and be careful."
Li Ping'an nodded. Aunt Lin stood at the door and watched Li Ping'an leave the village before returning to the house.
After leaving the village, Li Ping'an changed direction and drove in the direction he remembered.
After sunset, there are fewer activities in the village. In the past, there were still some people visiting and chatting, but now before it gets completely dark, all the doors are closed. There are Bagua mirrors hanging on the doors and various talismans pasted on them. When a gust of wind blows, it seems a bit weird.
After taking a bath, the little girl lay on the bed and said to the woman sitting beside her: "Mom, I'm scared."
The woman was combing her hair. After hearing the little girl's words, she said, "Don't be afraid, baby. That's Auntie Ayan."
No, that’s not Aunt Ayan. The little girl was frightened and wanted to open her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn’t make a sound.
