Chapter 193

Every day when Leyuan went to school, he suddenly found a small temple on the roadside. In the temple, there was a golden Bodhisattva, and the gold paint on the Bodhisattva's body was mottled and scattered.

It doesn't look like it has been well maintained, but rather like it has fallen into disrepair, yet it seems to have only arrived today.

Logically speaking, this should be a new item.

Leyuan felt something was a little strange, so he took one more look and left. But when he returned home, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he looked around the house, walked to the balcony, looked down, and saw a woman standing there.

The woman was wearing golden clothes that looked like a Bodhisattva, but the clothes were softer and warmer. Although they were a little old, they did not look old-fashioned. They were very beautiful and extremely delicate, as if they were something expensive.

When Leyuan looked down, the woman raised her head, as if she had been waiting for this moment and looked straight at him, and their eyes met.

As soon as the two looked at each other, Leyuan knew that this person was looking for him.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but after the man followed him for more than ten days, he felt bored and annoyed, so he invited the man to sit down and talk.

Paradise: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The woman's face was pale and her eyes were red, as if she had come not long after crying. Or maybe she cried secretly every night, so this was the case.

"My name is Zhou Ahui, and I want you to help me find my sister. I don't know where my sister is, but I think something has happened to her, and I want to find her. But I don't know where to look."

"What's your sister's name?"

"Amei Zhou."

"What does he look like?"

"Very beautiful, gentle and soft, I don't remember anything else."

"I'll think of a way. You go out first. I'll come to you if I have any ideas."

"Then I'll wait outside for your good news."

"Since you found me, you should know that I don't have any good news. If you have that intention, you'd better find someone else as soon as possible. I can't do it anyway."

Paradise said.

"That was my mistake. Don't mind it. As long as there is news, everything is fine. I just want to be at ease. As soon as I get the news, I will leave immediately and never bother you again."

Zhou Ahui said quickly.

"I'm afraid that if I tell you the news later, you won't be able to bother me if you want to."

Paradise said.

Zhou Ahui didn't want to argue with him anymore and left immediately.

I thought about Paradise all night, and early the next morning I moved a bench and sat on the road to the small temple.

Sitting next to the small temple, I watched the incense in the temple light up. The smoke was gray, and the rose-red incense gradually turned gray.

People passed by one after another, but one person stopped and stood by and looked at him for a long time, as if wondering why he was sitting there.

He raised his head and looked up, and saw a stranger.

The man also felt that he was very strange.

Neither party knew why the other party appeared here, why the other party stayed here, or what the relationship between the other party and the small temple was.

"You don't think the people here look familiar, do you?"

the stranger asked.

"Nothing looks familiar. I can't recognize it."

Paradise answered.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"It's a temple after all, come and take a look. I haven't seen it here before."

"I moved it here recently, and I think it will be kept here in the future. The person here is one of my ancestors. It is said that he got lost when he was young. I don't know the details."

"How did you get lost?"

"I don't know. I was very young at that time. So I don't know anything. But other people know, so I asked them. But they are older now and I can't get anything out of them. In another two years, I'm afraid everything they say will be nonsense."

"What's your name?"

"Zheng Meihui."

"Why do you put this temple here?"

"I originally wanted to find someone, but then I thought that even if someone passed by here and took a look, it would be considered a little more incense, and it wouldn't be a loss. I live nearby, so you can always find me if you have any questions."

Zheng Meihui said.

"If there is anything related to this temple, I will tell you if I have any clues."

Paradise answered.

Zheng Meihui nodded and asked, "Is there anything else you want to know? Ask now. It will save us some trouble. One more person knows about this matter, one more person can look for it, which is good."

"Where was the person in this temple last seen? Who saw him?"

Paradise asked.

"It was a long time ago, and the person who saw it is dead. Even the relatives of the dead person who saw it have moved away and cannot be found. The last person to appear was near his home."

Zheng Meihui answered.

Rakuen nodded.

"Who has appeared before? Near the small temple."

Paradise asked.

"There was a woman holding a child. The child was a boy who was fat and round. I thought he was ugly, so I didn't look at him much. I thought all the children looked the same, which was disgusting.

The woman was not very tall, but not very short either. She had a hunched back, a big belly, and a very fair face. But I still thought her face was ugly. It was not because of aesthetics, but as if there was a grudge between us in a previous life.

I don't know those two people.

But they came once and looked for a while before leaving. Just like you. But they can't see, and I won't help like you do."

Zhou Ahui said.

"I'll go find them both."

Rakuen said so and started wandering around.

One morning he was walking in the park and saw the two people Zhou Ahui mentioned.

So he walked up to the two men and greeted them. They thought it was very strange, but he still had a smile on his face, which made him look very hypocritical. He was very polite and his words were impeccable, but they were still uncomfortable.

After saying a few words, the two men left.

They seem to have no desire to interact with outsiders.

There seems to be something fishy going on here.

The amusement park asked Zhou Ahui to follow them to see the situation.

Zhou Ahui went and came back and told Leyuan what she had seen and heard. The two of them went home and thought about it themselves. When they talked about the incident of being talked to by strangers today, they both felt it was strange.

They went to the temple again in the evening, burned incense and bowed twice, as if they were feeling guilty and had to find something to do to comfort themselves.

Leyuan asked Zhou Ahui to go to their house and make some noise.

Zhou Ahui went there and came back within two days. She told Leyuan that the two people were planning to pray to the gods. Leyuan appeared on their road and said that they had bad luck recently and that he could tell fortunes.

The two men looked at each other, hesitated, and then believed it.

"So what should we do?"

"Sit down and talk."

Paradise replied.

They found a small pavilion. There were not many people there, but there were a lot of mosquitoes. The wind was very cold and howled, as if someone was crying next to them. The two of them shivered and hugged each other tightly.

When Leyuan was talking to them, they looked around as if they were afraid that someone would discover their place.

If they were really afraid that someone would find out they were here, it's no wonder they were looking around so much.

"I figured out that the recent events are related to a confusing case many years ago. Do you have any ideas?"

Paradise asked them.

They shook their heads and said they knew nothing.

Paradise reminded them: "It has something to do with a pair of sisters."

Their expressions changed and they looked a little panicked, but they still refused to speak. They continued to shake their heads and said they knew nothing.

Leyuan asked them why they went to that road and why they visited that small temple.

They said they took that route because they heard it was closer and they took it occasionally. They had never seen the small temple before and thought it was strange.

Paradise said straight out that they were lying.

They didn't admit it and kept shaking their heads, but their expressions relaxed a little, as if they were willing to change their words.

Paradise mentioned Zhou Ahui's name again.

The person opposite him changed his expression completely.

"How do you know this name? You have no relationship with that person, what do you know? What is your relationship with them? Are you their relative or their friend? None of them?"

The adult stood up and said.

"It is precisely because I have no relatives or friends that I figured it out. If you don't tell me, I can't help you. Since you are determined not to take a way out, then go wherever you want."

Leyuan got up to leave.

The two men quickly stopped him, blocked his way, forced him back and asked him to sit down, intending to talk about the matter here.

This place is leaky from all sides. If there is something that can be said here, it probably can't be exposed to the public.

Paradise sat down and listened to them.

They said it happened a long time ago, but because it was so strange, they remembered it clearly as if it happened today.

The reason why I am speaking of this in detail now is not because they have committed any crime, but because they feel uneasy and are afraid that they will not be able to live a good life.

This is also the reason why I don’t want to talk about this matter.

Once upon a time, they heard that a family had lost a member, so they went to see the excitement. When they were returning home after watching the excitement, they saw a dark and bloody figure flashing by on the side of the road.

I was scared because of this and remembered it for a long time.

"Apart from these, is there nothing else?"

Paradise asked.

"The things in the temple are unlucky. They should have been burned long ago, or smashed, stepped on, or collapsed. It would be fine if they were thrown into the water. Why are they still there? It's extremely unlucky."

The man said with a frown.

"Why is that?"

Paradise asked.

"The object was taken out in an attempt to find someone, but after it was taken out, no one was found, so it was put away. It was originally intended to be destroyed, but I don't know who insisted on keeping it. The object was thus preserved and is still here today."

The woman looked around and said.

"It wouldn't be a big deal if this thing was preserved."

Paradise said.

"I feel like there's a lot going on, at least the things going on in my family are things that are going on. It was such a big fuss before, and it finally died down, but now it's starting again. How can I feel at ease?

We didn’t want to talk about the shadow at first, but later we decided to forget it.”
