"Suck, suck, suck~"
Li Yiru called out twice, but the little animal didn't appear again, so she stopped teasing it.
After the food was boiled and I swallowed it whole, my stomach finally felt better.
After hurriedly packing up, Li Yiru rushed to the river to wash clothes with Xifeng.
"Xiao Rou, let me do it. You should take a rest." Even though the blood was no longer coming out of her forehead, she still looked pitiful.
"I..." Li Yiruo couldn't help choking up after she said one word. In her original world, she was not happy, but she had never suffered such torture.
Xifeng's concern made her pour out her grievances. Just as she was about to cry, she suddenly heard a few more women coming to the river.
Li Yiru wiped away her tears, and Xifeng also made a "hush" gesture to her.
It was because the original owner had no one to support her, wore tattered clothes, and had a weak personality. Except for Xifeng, most people in the village looked down on her and bullied her openly and secretly.
Not wanting to be laughed at by them again, Xifeng simply signaled them to hide quietly in the bushes and quietly wrung out the clothes.
"Oh my god, I was so scared when I passed by that graveyard just now." A woman, whose voice seemed to be Aunt Liu, was also a member of the gossipy army in the village.
"I passed by the door and saw a ghost fire in broad daylight." Aunt Liu stroked her chest and suppressed her fear.
"Oh, maybe I'm just dazzled. Besides, what are you afraid of? If there's anything to be afraid of, it should be Chang Ge'er's family."
If you don't do anything wrong on weekdays, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. Zhao Xianglan comforted Aunt Liu, "The house originally belonged to the little girl's father. Maybe his brother has angered him and brought him back to life."
Zhao Xianglan was one of the few people in the village who treated Li Yiru well, but her son often bullied the original owner, untying her braids for no reason and scaring her with insects and mice. The original owner was very annoyed with him and even kept away from Aunt Xianglan.
Speaking of Li Yiru's father, Aunt Liu also started a new topic and gossiped about how his father died outside and was sent back to the cenotaph by his friends, and about Li Yiru who was still an infant.
My father's younger brother, Li Chang, threw his cenotaph in his brother's old house and was reluctant to spend money to buy a coffin. He also hadn't taken care of the house for a long time and it was completely dilapidated.
Later, some people even followed his example and sent the corpses to the old house to be burned, and that place was completely turned into the cemetery of Linxian Village.
But Li Chang did raise Li Yiru, and he often boasted about how much his family cared about brotherhood. His brother left him nothing except a difficult-to-raise little baby. He was truly a very kind person.
Li Yiru's body had no extra feelings for the original owner's parents. After all, they had never raised her for a single day, but she finally found a breakthrough.
The Li Chang family was unusual. This was the result Li Yiru found while wringing clothes and searching through her memory.
Li Yiru also knew the location of the cemetery, and she wanted to go and see if it was as she expected.
In the end, she still wanted to stay alive as much as possible, and did not want to die with that beast unless it was absolutely necessary.
After wringing the clothes together with Xifeng, she was about to tell Xifeng that she was going to the cemetery, but she didn't expect to run into Xifeng's mother as soon as she walked out of the woods by the river.
"Xifeng, go with your mother to welcome your uncle." Xifeng's mother glanced at Li Yiru, feeling a little distressed, but also seemed to be used to her frequent injuries.
Seeing that her daughter had almost helped her deal with the problem, she didn't want to say anything more and make Xiaorou sad.
"Xiao Rou, please come to my aunt's house when you have time!" She and Li Yiru were quite close, so she didn't bother to be polite with her and just left with Xifeng.
Li Yirou nodded, waved goodbye to them, and went to the cemetery alone.
She is not afraid of ghosts, but she is more afraid of people who make her unable to fight back.
The cemetery is located in a remote area, at the westernmost part of the village, almost connected to the Yaer Mountain by the sea.
Perhaps because she lost too much blood from the beating, Li Yiru had to stop and rest after walking every two steps. It took her about half an hour to reach the destination.
What meets the eye is half-height grass, and in front is a dilapidated courtyard wall.
You know, almost everyone in the village surrounds their own yard with a wooden fence, and few people are willing to build a wall around it.
Her father must not be poor, but why didn't her uncle occupy this yard?
With doubts, Li Yiru picked up a branch and knocked it in the grass for a while, hoping to scare away snakes and insects before she dared to go in.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the direction of the courtyard, and it felt so chilly and biting in the hot weather.
Even she, an atheist, was a little scared. Aunt Liu actually said she was just passing by and even peeked through the crack in the door. She was really brave.
The weeds outside the yard were very sharp, some of them even scratched her exposed skin. Li Yiru felt more and more that this yard was a good place to hide things.
The door was mottled and out of shape, but one could vaguely see that it had been painted with vermilion in the past. Her family seemed to be well off, and they would definitely not leave behind an orphan girl. They must have given Li Chang some support.
Li Chang's family, like the other villagers, patched their clothes even though they were still intact, for fear of revealing their wealth.
But, where is the money?
Li Yiru looked through the crack in the door and found that there was no ghost fire. There was just something in the yard reflecting the sunlight, which was a little dazzling.
She waited for a moment, making sure that no one was around, then took off the rusty lock that had long since become a decoration and entered the mansion.
There were indeed many traces of fire in the yard, and even some broken bones could be seen, but the rest of the ashes had long been blown away by the wind.
Li Yiru entered the room and went to investigate, but was constantly dazzled by the thing. She walked over impatiently and was about to kick it away, but when she looked closely, she saw that it was a piece of diamond that was cut perfectly, so it could reflect light from multiple angles.
She bent down to pick it up. It was not as transparent as a diamond. It was the size of her little finger, but it sparkled with colorful light and was very special.
Maybe if I have to sneak away, I can exchange this thing for some money?
Is there radiation?
Then I thought again, it’s okay, I can bury it behind Li Chang’s family’s bedroom first, the radiation will be better, and I can kill them first.
Li Yiru was just about to find a straw bag to hide the little thing, but unexpectedly, the thing suddenly slipped into the palm of her hand and disappeared.
She blinked, wondering if she was hallucinating due to excessive blood loss. She lay on the ground and looked around, but found no trace.
…
Seeing that she couldn't find it, Li Yiru suspected that she was dreaming. She thought about the appearance of the thing again, and the scenery in front of her suddenly changed. She was suddenly in a fog.
Before she had time to take a closer look, two breaths, about 5 seconds, everything in front of her eyes became normal again, the dilapidated courtyard, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Li Yirou was so frightened that she dared not breathe. Her legs went limp and she was about to kneel down.
Is there really a ghost?!
Li Yiru recalled the scene just now, and it suddenly appeared clearly in her mind. It was the foggy world she had just entered.
She swallowed, and tried to go in again, but recalled the shining metal appearance countless times, but failed.
What on earth was that? Was she hysterical because her hair was beaten?
It’s all that beast’s fault!
Li Yirou no longer paid attention to the image in her mind and walked towards the dilapidated house.
She must find out the money they hid and make sure they don't have an easy time!
As far as she could see, the room was empty, so she thought of knocking on the floor tiles to see if there was a secret compartment.
Just as he was about to strike, he realized that the wooden stick he had been holding in his hand was gone...
