，

Actually, I don't have anything to prepare, it's just those few things, incense and candles, yellow paper, and myself.

I have only seen Lao Zhou's operation, but I have not done it myself, of course, Shen Ju'er can't be counted that time, it was "it" who took the initiative to find me.

When I called Tao Mengzhu on the computer, she was still in the company, and I went downstairs to pick her up, and she stayed for a long time and asked me if I could go upstairs to pick her up.

Puzzled, I went upstairs and pushed open her office, and found that there was a cubicle inside, and the light in it was almost as good as the midday sun, and I really didn't know how she lived in such an environment.

The room had everything she needed for life, and she sat on the sofa with nervousness on her face.

The deafening music caused me to shout several times in a row, but she didn't hear it.

I had no choice but to walk over and reach out and pat her on the shoulder.

Tao Mengzhu jumped up like an electric shock and looked at me with a frightened face.

I reached out and gestured in my ear, and she came to her senses, picked up the remote control, and pressed it, and the music stopped.

I rubbed my sore ears and asked, confusedly:

"Are you not afraid of being deaf like this?"

She shook her head, looked at me blankly, and said:

"It's better than dead, I can always hear strange noises, and if I don't have the music, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to jump off the stairs."

I smiled and jokingly said:

"What? Are you suicidal? ”

"No!"

Her expression was very serious:

"It's not that I want to kill myself, it's that it's forcing me, and for so many years, it hasn't wanted me to die all the time."

I couldn't believe it, and I felt that she didn't belong to the category of being haunted by ghosts, but that she had psychological problems, such as persecution paranoia.

But I didn't say it because it would cause her a certain amount of irritation. In a state like her now, she is not suitable for the slightest stimulation.

"Let's go, I think I should be able to solve your problem."

Tao Mengzhu looked at me gratefully, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and I saw that the windows had all been equipped with arm-thick guardrails, and they were installed in the glass.

I was surprised, but I didn't say anything and pulled her downstairs.

Her home is not far from the company, only a few kilometers away, I don't know why she has been living in the company, isn't such an empty office building more dangerous for her? Or did it exacerbate her fears?

The moment she opened the door, I smelled a damp and dark smell.

It's not because the house is "unclean", it's because no one has lived in it for a long time, and no one has cleaned it.

A thick layer of dust has fallen on the oak floor, and stepping on it leaves a clear footprint.

Tao Mengzhu stood hesitantly at the door, not daring to go in.

I walked in, turned on the light, pushed open the window, and found a towel to dust off the couch. She stood in the doorway like a puppet with a broken string, staring blankly at me.

I walked over and pulled him over, sat down on the couch, dimmed the light, sat down beside her, looked her in the eye and said:

"Now you can tell me the whole thing, right?"

Tao Mengzhu raised his head slightly, secretly observing the surroundings, looking cautious. There seems to be a lot of fear about this room, or something in the house.

The body trembled slightly, like a wounded bird.

I patted her hand and whispered:

"Trust me, it's going to be fine, if you don't say it, I won't be able to help you at all."

Tao Mengzhu seemed to be struggling, lowered his head and thought for a while before he slowly raised his head, looked at me and said:

"Well, I believe in you!"

She grabbed my hand with her backhand, and I felt the chill coming from her, and took off my coat and draped it over her.

"Don't be afraid, just say it."

Tao Mengzhu nodded, as if he needed to use all his strength to muster up courage.

"You've heard something about it in the company, right? For example, my identity, my relationship with my boss, etc. ”

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She smiled, and that smile was a little bleak.

"Part of what they said is true, I do have some relationship with the boss, we are brother and sister, half-siblings. Our father is the chairman of the head office. ”

I have to say, I really didn't expect this relationship, and to be honest, I'm not very interested in these lace news at all.

She looked at me as if trying to find the surprise she had imagined on my face. But soon she was disappointed, and went on with some amusement:

"We didn't have a good relationship when we were younger, he was twelve years older than me, just one round, when my mother married my father, his mother was very sad because of it, and even committed suicide, and he was very hostile to my mother at first.

So, after I was born, he hated me very much. He is the way I am now.

In fact, I didn't blame my father for what happened back then, it was his mother who fell in love with someone else and left his father, and later found out that he was deceived by that man and wanted to return to his father, but his father did not agree.

Maybe he was only about ten years old at that time, and he couldn't understand all this at all, especially the emotional problems of adults, after I was born, he imposed all the faults on me.

When I was five years old, he proposed to take me to the countryside to see my grandmother during the summer vacation, and my parents were very busy at that time, and they also thought that he was a seventeen or eighteen young man, and there would be no danger in taking me out, so he agreed.

At that time, my father's business was not as big as it is now, and it happened to be in the stage of development, so my grandparents still lived in the countryside of my hometown.

There are beautiful mountains and rivers and the scenery is very good. The five-year-old child's brain is not very good at storing things, and I can't remember many things, except that my grandmother's family lived on the edge of the village.

Not far from the village is a dense forest in which the Japanese are said to have built a comfort station, and countless girls died there, and they were buried somewhere in the woods after their deaths.

Perhaps it is the reluctance and resentment of the dead that make the plants of this forest grow so luxuriantly.

I don't remember anything at my grandmother's house, but one afternoon, he said to me that he was going to take me out to play. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Mengzhu suddenly became nervous, her nails almost dug into my flesh, and her body began to tremble violently, as if that afternoon was a nightmare for her that she would never wake up from.

I looked at her, but didn't say anything comforting.

Because I knew I couldn't interrupt her at a time like this, and I had to make sure she could face it up.
