Chapter 188
You are her relative, do you know what happened to her sister?
Leyuan shook her head, but tentatively said, "Her sister seems to have died. Don't you know about this?" Because a while ago, she said that a relative in the family had died and they had to hold a funeral, so that's how the child was taken away from school.
The night shift worker blinked, not knowing this.
Leyuan smiled and let him go home early.
He nodded and left.
One night passed and no one came to open the door.
The next morning, he heard footsteps in the park and looked over, only to find that the person coming was not Boss Liang, so he sat back down.
It was almost noon when Boss Liang showed up with something that was either breakfast or lunch.
It seems that you will always feel better when you are full than when you are hungry.
Any special findings? Boss Liang came over and asked.
Leyuan shook his head and just repeated the conversation from last night. But he ended by saying that nothing was found.
Boss Liang nodded and said that this was normal. After all, they had been searching for so many days and couldn't even find a hair on the child's head. It was possible that they couldn't find it for a while. Maybe the child was really taken away by relatives to play.
Children are having fun, forgetting the time, and don’t want to tell adults. They are afraid of being scolded. It is not impossible that they will be beaten. Although I have never beaten or scolded him before, I don’t allow him to see others being beaten, so he is afraid. This is understandable.
If he comes back, nothing will happen. If he explains himself clearly, maybe I can give him a candy as a reward. But I don't know when he will come back?
As Boss Liang spoke, his mood became depressed.
Leyuan said nothing because he knew that his comforting ability was not very good. Rather than opening his mouth and being scolded, it was better to say nothing, which would be more peaceful.
This depressing atmosphere continued until it got dark the second time, and Boss Liang could no longer bear it.
He said that this is a waste of time and inefficient. Who knows if I can wait here and see someone? If I can't wait here and see someone, do I have to wait here forever? This is not advisable.
Leyuan nodded and asked him what he wanted to do.
Boss Liang said that we could go to the police station or take another look at the cemetery.
The two men agreed that Boss Liang would go to the police station and Paradise would go to the cemetery.
If you have something to do, you can call us. If you don’t have anything to do, go home and rest for a while. It’s like losing something. You can’t find it if you look for it. Maybe it will come out by itself after a while.
This is what Boss Liang thought, and the park followed his arrangements.
Paradise walked around the cemetery, found a place to sit for a while, didn't see anyone, and prepared to leave.
But just as he was about to walk towards the gate of the cemetery, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards the familiar path. The person had his back to him, had long hair, and looked like a young woman in a dress.
Leyuan hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed. He was not very close, but rather far away.
He saw the man approaching the grave he had visited before.
As expected, this person came to visit his relatives, and the relatives were in the tomb. The relatives in the tomb might have some relationship with Boss Liang.
Leyuan waited until that person left before going to the tombstone to take a look. He found that the person in the photo was unfamiliar, a young woman who looked somewhat similar to the person who had just walked out. His guess was confirmed that the two people were relatives.
Leyuan took a photo of the grave. Later, if Boss Liang asked, he could show him these things to prove that he had not wasted his time doing nothing.
After Leyuan took the photo, he chased after the man. The man didn't walk very fast, and Leyuan could still see his shadow when he chased after him.
But the man didn't walk very slowly, because when Paradise wanted to catch up, the man was still very far away.
The man walked out of the cemetery and went to a path outside. He stood there for a while, looking like he was looking for something, and then left.
The empty-handed look probably means you haven't found anything.
Leyuan followed the man all the way to where he lived and found that this was the floor below where Boss Liang’s ex-wife’s sister lived.
Leyuan did not follow in, but the man came out soon with a big bag in his hand. The bag did not look like it could hold a person, but a big red plastic bag.
There are many small black pockets inside the big red plastic bag, which also seem to be filled with things.
Leyuan was waiting nearby, and this time he saw the person's face, and it was indeed a woman.
The man seemed to have discovered something. He looked around, but when he didn't see the paradise, he left. He walked very fast and hurriedly. In a short while, he was near the cemetery and almost walked into the creek next to it.
But before he reached the river, the man came to his senses, quickly took two steps back, left, and even turned around and walked to another less traveled path.
The plastic bag made a loud clanging sound in my hand, as if it contained a living thing with flapping wings.
A passing child asked the aunt, what is in this?
The man bent down and touched the child's head, then said to him with a smile, "There are bats in there that we just caught. The little bats can be cooked into soup, which is very delicious. I'll cook a pot of soup for you to take home when I have the chance."
The child bit his finger and said, "No, my mother doesn't allow me to drink other people's things casually, and doesn't allow me to tell others where I live, but you can come quietly and I will definitely drink it."
The young woman smiled, took her hand back and said, “Okay, it’s a deal.”
The child nodded, jumped up and down, and left happily.
Leyuan looked at the child and felt that something was a little strange.
The young woman doesn't look like she'll live long.
It didn't look like the child was going to die right away, and they had agreed to meet again but no one knew when.
Do you even lie to children?
It's still a child I've never seen before.
But if the consideration is just casually said and not taken seriously, that is another matter.
The young woman walked to the side of the path, where she would not easily intrude on others.
He took out a blackened brazier from his pocket, the big red plastic bag. It looked like it had been used for a long time and had burned a very big fire.
When the brazier was placed on the ground, the bottom of the brazier hit the ground.
The ashes in the brazier were black and jumped a little, like a little insect trying to fly out, but finally fell back.
The young woman continued to take things out of her pocket, a small black plastic bag. When she opened it, she saw a stack of yellow paper inside, the kind used to burn for the dead.
He took out another pocket and opened it, revealing gold ingots. He took out another pocket, revealing bright red paper money for the dead.
When I took out the fourth pocket, I found red candles and incense sticks inside. The candles were of normal size, but the incense sticks were very long, longer than an outstretched arm of an adult.
The thing was stuck in the soil and half of it disappeared, shaking. The young woman lit it with a lighter, and a flame came out, then disappeared again with a hiss, as if it was shy and hiding.
A cloud of white smoke came out, not much, and the smell was not strong. You couldn't smell it if you stood not far away, and you couldn't see the color if you were farther away. You just felt that the place where the man was squatting was foggy. Passersby could only suspect that there was fog this morning.
No one wants to stay here, and the park is very conspicuous standing next to it.
The young woman didn't even raise her head, her eyes turned this way and then looked away. She probably saw it but was not ready to rush over.
Paradise stood there like a brittle wooden stake. Not far away was a wall that was about to collapse completely. He stood at that corner as if he was leaning against it.
The smoke from the candles wafted over, making it seem more and more that the people here didn't look like humans. I didn't know if the ghosts here looked like ghosts. There was a distorted feeling everywhere, as if someone had thrown a small stone into the sparkling water.
However, this place is still on the ground and there is no water at all, so this effect is even more dreamlike.
Even people who were about to pass by here would turn around and run away after taking a look. They were probably afraid that they would be targeted by something after passing by here and would need to clean up after returning home.
Dirty things are not to be trifled with, especially after the full-scale outbreak of weirdness, life has become even more difficult for human beings.
The young woman squatted on the ground and took out a small folding stool from her pocket to sit on.
The bench was colorful and looked like a puzzle, a style that only children would like. At first glance, the white mixed with the mottled colors gave it a kind of underworld feel.
The young woman sat on a stool, and the stool creaked twice and then stopped moving. It made people very worried that her clothes might have been caught.
The young woman started to light a fire, threw the burning yellow paper into the black brazier, picked up the gold ingots and threw them into the fire, then picked up some red paper money, lit the flame and watched it burn, until the flame was about to burn her fingers, then she let go and threw the paper money into the brazier.
The fire burned more and more fiercely, and when the wind blew past, the fire became even bigger.
Even standing far away, Paradise couldn't help but feel as if it was about to be burned by fire. He frowned.
The young woman asked, "Would you like to sit over here?"
The park said there were no seats available.
The young woman laughed and said that there was a bench in her pocket, so Leyuan walked over and sat down.
The young woman threw yellow paper into the fire and asked if I wanted to tell her a story.
Paradise said yes.
The young woman showed a look of reminiscence.
"My sister has died. It was probably not long ago, I can't remember the exact time. When I went to pick up my sister's son, the funeral I mentioned to the teacher was my sister's. It doesn't matter if it was or not.
My sister is dead, how can her son still be alive? My sister divorced that man. I won't bother him for now, but he can't continue to raise my sister's child.
He divorced my sister and made her so sad. He didn't even know when she died. He really came to visit her for no reason."
