Winter 1979

The road leading to Luojiapu was pitch black, and the sound of a car could be heard from a distance, it was a liberation truck, because of the potholes on the road, the headlights were shaky from a distance.

After a while, the truck arrived at the door of the Luojiabao Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and two people jumped out of the back shed of the car, one was burly, wearing a military coat, and the other was wearing a black jacket and black pants, unkempt.

After the liberation truck dropped off the two men, it drove into the night.

The burly young man picked up his duffel backpack and walked towards the village with the man in the black jacket.

At that time, the conditions were very backward, there was no water or electricity in the village, the lighting was all based on candles, burning kerosene lamps was a luxury, drinking water was all going to the well at the entrance of the temple.

So as long as it gets dark, only a few houses in the village can be seen lighting candles, and the rest is pitch black, and the night sky seems to be much closer than in the city.

But at this time, the burly young man and the man in the black jacket heard and saw the sound of suona blowing and the light of the fire in the middle of the village.

When I got closer, I found that this was a family doing a funeral, and the suona hand was around the fire and was playing the funeral song.

"Uncle Luo Kang, whose house is this?" The burly man asked an old man.

The old man smoked a dry cigarette and looked up at the burly man first, and then at the man in the black jacket with slanted eyes.

"Is this the cultural man back? Not a soldier? ”

"I'm discharged, Uncle Luo Kang."

As the burly man spoke, he looked into the depths of the dilapidated abandoned cave, and three coffins were placed inside, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"What's going on? Uncle Luo Kang. ”

The old man knocked the cigarette pouch pot under the sole of the cloth shoe, knocked out the ashes, and then said.

"Just the Chen family, the sun is hanging, it is very fierce, several mouthfuls have died, and it is very evil! You go back and ask you "big" Wow, I can see a powerful yin and yang. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, took the cigarette pouch and pot, folded his waist, and left without saying a word.

The burly young man couldn't help but glance at the man in the black jacket, but found that the black face of the man in the black jacket was looking at the coffins in the dim cave.

Quanmin Community

Yuan Huaxing was a little surprised, hearing Su Yi say that the previous owner of this house was the person he liked, she suddenly remembered something, and without waiting for Su Yi to continue, she hurriedly walked to the desk, opened the iron box on the table, took out a few photos from it, and handed it to him.

"Is that her? I heard my dad say that this house has changed owners several times, is the person you like this girl? ”

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and took the photos, these photos are four inches and five inches, but the people above are basically eleven or twelve years old, Su Yi can't be sure, is it Shen Li.

Because the photo that Shen Qian sent to him when he wrote the letter was not very close, it was not particularly clear, and he could only see a general appearance.

"You, where did this come from?" Su Yi was puzzled.

"When I moved here, I accidentally found it, and I guess the person who lived in it forgot to take it with me. You haven't told me yet, is it her? ”

Su Yi got up and went to the hall, took out his ID book from the coat hanging at the door, took out a photo from the back, returned to Yuan Huaxing, and handed it to her.

The person in the photo is standing a little farther away, and the effect is not so clear, and the facial features can be roughly seen.

Yuan Huaxing took the photo and said, "You don't know what the person you like looks like?"

Su Yi was a little embarrassed, "We are pen pals, and I've only seen this photo of her." ”

"Oh."

Yuan Huaxing carefully looked at the girl in the photo, suddenly took the photo closer, and then moved it to Su Yi.

"Don't you think she looks like a person?"

Su Yi looked at it carefully, and he couldn't think of anyone he could look like, but Yuan Huaxing could say this, which meant that they all knew the person he was like.

"Like whom?"

Yuan Huaxing stared at the photo, his eyes blinked, and he looked at Su Yi.

"Does she look like Sister Xu Tielai?"

This sentence shocked Su Yi's heart.

He took the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully, a little unsure.

But the longer I watched it, it really looked like Xu Tielai.

Su Yi frowned slightly, he had never paid attention to these, how could Xu Tielai be Shen Yuan.

Su Yi recalled Xu Tielai's expressions in her mind, remembered the strange look she had at herself for the first time, the encounter in the restaurant, and her indescribable déjà vu.

He put his hands to his lips, frowned, and thought.

They just look a little alike, could they be the same person?

Then he remembered that when he went to ask the Xu family, Xu Tielai's strange actions and words, as well as that strange reaction.

Su Yi was confused and moved his hand to his temple.

But if Xu Tielai is Shen Li, then why didn't she tell him, why didn't she recognize each other? Unspeakable suffering? Or because of that case?

Su Yi sighed lightly, maybe there were too many things that were connected, which affected his judgment, these two people should just look alike.

Yuan Huaxing saw that Su Yi was silent, she took out those photos on New Year's Day again, and turned to a photo of Xu Tielai, which was taken by her standing behind Xu Jun's room.

"It's really quite similar, you see, the shape of the face, the eyes, the curvature of the mouth, one with short hair, one with long hair, but."

The clearer Yuan Huaxing's description became, Su Yi's heart couldn't help beating faster, whether it was a person or not, no matter what she didn't recognize each other, he hoped that Shen Yi would live.

"But what?"

"But they are definitely not the same person, Sister Xu Tielai has been staying with Xu Junfang, how could they have lived here before, they just look alike."

Su Yi was depressed, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he was up and down in Yuan Huaxing's words.

He then agreed with the negative answer.

Because, Xu Tielai looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Then this sister you like, where is she now?" Yuan Huaxing asked.

Su Yi's heart sank, "I don't know where she is, I'm leaving." ”

Yuan Huaxing didn't know what was wrong with Su Yi, but she felt that she was probably in a worse mood because she had provoked him.

Su Yi picked up the photo and put it back in the document folder, said hello to Luo Baifan and Yuanyou, and pushed the door away.

Yuan You walked to Yuan Huaxing's house, saw that his daughter was cleaning up a bunch of photos, and vaguely thought of something.

"Huaxing, you won't show him the picture in the tin box, will you?"

"I showed him, he said that the person he liked, he used to live here, I thought he would be pleasantly surprised by showing him those pictures."

"You kid, you're really messing up."

Yuan Huaxing didn't know the reason, he felt that he was kind, why did he still make trouble.

"Dad, do you know what's wrong with him? Does it have anything to do with the older sister he likes? ”

Yuanyou didn't know what to say and didn't respond.

Yuan Huaxing took the photo taken by Xu Tielai on New Year's Day and compared it with the photo in the iron box.

"It looks really similar, but how could Sister Xu Tielai live here before, but maybe... But Su Yi and Sister Xu Tielai have met a few times, can't they recognize each other? That's not either, it shouldn't be the same person. Yuan Huaxing muttered to himself.

"Dad, is the previous owner of this house surnamed Xu?"

"Surname Shen, why are you asking this?"

"Oh, the person that Brother Su Yi likes looks very similar to a sister I know, and I think if the surname is the same, maybe it's the same person."

Yuanyou's hand that was about to pour water stopped.

"Who do you look like?"

"Her name is Xu Tielai, this name is never? I'm telling you, you've seen girls with so much strength..."

Yuanyou was stunned when he heard it, Luo Baifan also heard it, and walked out of Yuanyou's bedroom.

The two of them looked at each other in unison, and their eyes flashed with deep gazes.

"Xu Tielai is also your classmate?"

"She's my cousin at the same table."

"Huaxing, your table mate hasn't told you anything strange lately."

Yuan Huaxing was stunned and a little weak-hearted, but she must not say those bizarre things, she can't let her father know, and she can't tell him that she killed the monster a few days ago.

What's more, whether Chen Xiao is really the same as Xu Junfang now, she is not completely convinced and sure, she still wants to save her, these can't be said.

But she also wondered in her heart, her father seemed to sense something, otherwise how could he always ask such a thing.

"What strange thing can my classmate say, Dad, what are you referring to? Why can't I understand it? ”

Yuanyou looked at his daughter, he hesitated, he couldn't let his daughter get involved, but he was very helpless, because there are some things and some people, maybe they are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity.

"It's okay if you don't, I'll talk to your Uncle Luo about something." As he spoke, he went back to the house.

Luo Baifan whispered to Yuanyou.

"Bring the photos, and I'll go to the bureau to compare them with the people in the physical evidence department to see if it's the same person."

Yuanyou nodded, and then said, "I have to tell you something, Zhuo Yixuan's death must have something to do with Chen Xiao."

"Didn't I say it earlier, her uncle has a problem, but he can't investigate it anymore, the people from the Six Bad Bureau have come forward, why did you mention this again."

Yuanyou frowned slightly.

On the night of Yu Hui's excess, Chen Xiao summoned an evil talisman in his pocket, and there were two remnant souls in the talisman, one was Yu Hui's, and the other didn't know whose it was.

I took it back to gather souls, and I gathered them a few days ago, and I found another remnant soul, which was Zhuo Yixuan's. ”

"And such a miracle? It was a scary night, and I didn't even pay attention to anything else. ”

"After surpassing Yu Hui, I asked Chen Xiao where he got this kind of thing, and she said that she picked it up.

How could there be such a coincidence, the two remnant souls were related to her, so she didn't tell the truth, and Yu Hui may not really commit suicide. ”

Luo Baifan raised his eyes to look at Yuan You.

"Then Chen Xiao is also suspicious, anyway, she and her uncle are related to the Liuxiao Bureau."

Suddenly, Luo Baifan seemed to remember something, took out a card from his trouser pocket, which was an ID card, and handed it to Yuanyou.

Yuanyou took it, only looked at the name, and asked.

"Who is this?"

"This is Chen Xiao's uncle."

Yuan You then took a closer look at the portrait on the ID card.

"Shouldn't Chen Xiao's uncle also have the surname Chen? How is the surname Hu? ”

When Yuanyou said this, he tilted his head and looked closer.

"We asked, Chen Xiao is with her mother's surname, it is difficult to check them, if you can't find out, it doesn't count, and the above is stopped. These two people are either from the Six Bad Bureau, or they are targeted by the Six Bad Bureau. ”

Yuanyou looked at the ID card and said quietly.

"Lao Luo, we've seen this person!"
