Chapter 36: Butterflies Claim Their Lives

Wang Ruyun, who had been lying in the hospital for three days and three nights, finally woke up. On the surface, she is in a coma, but her own body is in self-repair, and these three days of coma are equivalent to three days of good sleep. Wang Ruyun felt that this would be the most comfortable stage for her body after her husband's accident, maybe she had rested enough and vented, except for being a little hungry, she was basically similar to a normal person.

Compared with her, Yan Baoping, who lives in the same ward, is much worse, Yan Baoping has lost not only her husband, but also her only son, which can be described as a state of ruin. Therefore, Yan Baoping is in a state of insomnia almost every day, unable to sleep at all, and has no energy. During the day, I often wash my face with tears, eat very little, and at night, I toss and turn, it is difficult to sleep, I recall the sad past, I miss my departed relatives, and sometimes it is even so serious that it is difficult to get out of bed and go to the toilet, and I still need to be taken care of by Aunt Yan. Now that Wang Ruyun has woken up, after learning about the identity and experience of the other party, it is also the emotional experience of the fallen people in the world, so that Wang Ruyun also took the initiative to take care of and enlighten Yan Baoping.

After a few days of visiting the periphery of the mining area, there was no gain, especially for the investigation of Wang Mazi and Cao Bao's enemies, there were no further clues, so Liu Zichen and Kuangsuo, who had fallen into a bottleneck, came to the hospital, and they came specially according to Shen Mingyue's findings to ask Yan Damiang and Wang Ruyun, who grew up locally, about the old man in the valley.

Aunt Yan has really lived in the mining area for decades, this time Liu Zichen really found the right person, as soon as the old man was mentioned, Aunt Yan patted her thigh and said, "Oops! I didn't expect you to even find out the old madman, it seems that your detective agency is indeed very powerful and very careful." Ruyun, our case will definitely be solved, you see how responsible they are!"

Liu Zichen was a little embarrassed by the sudden praise, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you really won the award, we haven't closed the case for so many days, and we're already very embarrassed, you say that, we are really embarrassed!"

Wang Ruyun was interested and helped Liu Zichen ask, "Auntie, what kind of old madman are you talking about? Why didn't I know that there were still people living there?"

Aunt Yan took a sip of hot water and said slowly, "You young people definitely don't understand, even if you are old, you rarely go to the right side of the coal mine." There's a valley there, called the Valley of Butterflies, and there's an old man living in it, and it seems like he's lived there since I can remember, how many years do you know? When I was young, I met him a few times, but he didn't like to talk, he didn't come to town, and he had nothing to do with the coal mines, so he just cared about raising butterflies. It is said that he raised a very large number of butterflies, and he did not make money, so we all called him an old madman. ”

"Are you saying that he has always lived in the valley and made a living by raising butterflies?

"Girl, you're not right, I've already mentioned that he doesn't raise butterflies to make money, that's why he's called an old madman! His family, there must be none, he has never seen or heard of it, and it is also pitiful, he has lived most of his life alone, and it is inevitable that there will be some mental problems. Aunt Yan patiently explained that her opinion of the old madman actually represented the views of the few people in the mining area who knew about this person.

After listening to her, Liu Zichen roughly understood that so many butterflies that Shen Mingyue saw were all raised by this old madman, so it was no wonder that he was so obedient. Liu Zichen guessed that Shen Mingyue rashly broke into the cave and alarmed the butterflies, and the old madman inside came out to do it, also to protect the butterflies he raised, although his behavior was a little extreme, but there was no malicious intent.

Wang Ruyun had basically returned to normal, but when he heard that he had been talking about butterflies, he was still unconsciously scared in his heart. This fear seems to have been embedded in the depths of the heart, and the butterfly has become synonymous with the devil.

Liu Zichen had her abnormality and kindly asked, "What's wrong with you?" I see that you are trembling a little again, is there something uncomfortable?"

Wang Ruyun gritted her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and after a while, she finally calmed herself down, "It's not uncomfortable, I just, I just don't want to hear that word." ”

"Which word? are you talking about butterflies?" Liu Zichen boldly guessed.

"That's it!" Wang Ruyun definitely didn't want to say these two words through his mouth, that would make him feel even more terrifying.

Liu Zichen understands Wang Ruyun's mood very well, but she is even more anxious to understand the case, when she was looking for Wang Ruyun before, the other party was in a very bad state, so she has not gotten anything from this important witness, today is a rare opportunity, Liu Zichen does not want to miss it.

Therefore, she continued to guide Wang Ruyun to say the reason why she was afraid, of course, she couldn't be too hasty, and tried to slow down the other party's emotions. And she can also see that Wang Ruyun's state is not as bad as in the past, and it seems that the recuperation in the past few days has eased Wang Ruyun.

As Liu Zichen expected, Wang Ruyun's heart did hide a big secret for herself, which was also the reason why she was so afraid of butterflies.

It turned out that one evening, after Wang Mazi came back from work, he sat in the yard in a daze unusually, and usually, Wang Mazi would go into the house to talk and chat with him, so Wang Ruyun sensed that something was wrong. Under Wang Ruyun's repeated questioning, her husband told her that he had seen the legendary ghost-faced butterfly, and he was afraid that he was not far from death.

Wang Ruyun has lived in the mining area for many years, so naturally she has heard about the legend of the butterfly elf, but she has never believed it. This time, her husband said that she saw it with her own eyes, although she was a little worried, but she still didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a butterfly, and it seemed that she didn't need to pay too much attention to it. Unexpectedly, her husband quickly explained the aftermath to her, and even told himself that if he died, he would leave the local area quickly, which made Wang Ruyun start to tremble. What made her even more unacceptable was that Wang Mazi died in the mine a full week after saying that she saw the grimace butterfly, and the case has not yet been decided.

After knowing the news of her husband's death, Wang Ruyun immediately decided that this matter must be related to the grimace butterfly that Wang Mazi said. Once she mentioned or met, she was very nervous and scared, especially when she saw so many butterflies flying to her side by the pond, and even thought that she was here to ask for her life, so she panicked so much that she fell into the water, but fortunately she was rescued by the small orchard and picked up a life.
