After dinner, Lin Peng turned on the computer. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Since the summer vacation, he has spent a long time in front of the computer every day, taking care of his uncle, Wang Dachuan, in the business of an online shroud shop. Since Wang Dachuan recently opened a new shroud shop near the funeral home, the online business was temporarily handed over to his nephew who was on summer vacation.
Lin Peng was checking the customer's message when the mobile phone on the side rang. The mobile phone was left to him by Wang Dachuan, and it was also the business phone of the shroud shop.
Lin Peng picked up the phone, and a woman's voice came from the receiver: "May I ask if it's Fulu Shroud Shop?" β
"Yes." Lin Peng's voice was deep and deliberately revealed a gloomy mood.
This tone was taught to him by Wang Dachuan, and he told him not to show excitement no matter how big the deal was, and in Wang Dachuan's words, it was a sign of respect for the family of the deceased.
The woman told Lin Peng on the phone in a very eager voice that she needed to buy a set of red shrouds, and described the size and style of the shrouds to Lin Peng, and finally told Lin Peng that she hoped he would be able to deliver the shrouds tonight.
After Lin Peng recorded the woman's request, he drove to Wang Dachuan's newly opened shroud shop near the funeral home.
Wang Dachuan was not in the store, and Lin Peng asked the staff to find a set of red shrouds ordered by the woman.
After getting the goods, Lin Peng carried the items on his back and walked to the address that the woman said - No. 2 Cuilin Road.
In the absence of any substitute tools, the items can only be transported by manpower, which is very time-consuming, and there is no way to do it.
The sky had gradually darkened, and when Lin Peng came to No. 2 Cuilin Road, it was nearly eight o'clock.
Cuilin Road is located at the junction of urban and rural areas. It's sparsely populated and unusually deserted. Lin Peng stood in front of the gate of No. 2 Cuilin Road, looking at the two-story building that looked a little dilapidated and gloomy in the night, and a chill suddenly surged on his body.
Lin Peng hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pressed the doorbell next to the door.
I waited outside the door for a while, but no one came to open the door.
He knocked on the somewhat peeling iron door with his hand again, and after a while, Lin Peng heard a slight footstep coming from inside.
After a squirming sound, the door opened from the inside, and a woman with a beautiful face about thirty years old appeared in front of Lin Peng.
The woman was beautiful, wearing a plain white dress, and her long jet-black hair contrasted sharply with her slightly pale face.
"I'm from the Fulu shroud shop." Lin Peng nodded slightly at the woman and said, "You are Ms. Liu who called to order the shroud before." β
"Yes." The woman looked Lin Peng up and down, and finally stopped at the white cardboard box in Lin Peng's hand.
"Please come in." The woman moved away and let Lin Peng in.
When Lin Peng walked in, he found that the room was very dim. In each of the four corners of the living room, a red candle is lit.
The woman saw Lin Peng's surprise and explained: "The power department is renovating the lines, so there has been a power outage during this time. β
"That's the ......" has been doing this business for a long time, so naturally you can't be too timid, otherwise it is easy to be mistaken for a novice and not trusted.
"Drink water, please." After Lin Peng sat down, the woman poured Lin Peng a glass of water, then picked up the white box containing the shroud and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you the money." β
"Okay, okay." Lin Peng owed, and the woman turned around and walked into a room in the corner of the living room and closed the door.
The living room was a little damp and stuffy, and there was a faint smell of mold, which made Lin Peng feel a little breathless. He took a few deep breaths, then looked around the dark living room.
He found that the huge living room had only a few simple pieces of furniture, and the style was outdated.
Lin Peng picked up a magazine on the coffee table in front of him and flipped through it randomly. About five minutes later, he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from a corner of the living room. Lin Peng stood up and saw a girl in a red cheongsam walking over.
The economy of Yueluo City has never been particularly good, mainly because of the production of agriculture, which can only barely be regarded as passable, and he does not dare to have too high expectations for clothing, so he can't help but take a few more looks.
When the girl walked in front of him, Lin Peng saw the girl's appearance clearly.
This is a girl about her own age, with a beautiful face, and like the woman just now, she also has long black hair.
Lin Peng looked at the girl's delicate face, and suddenly had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. When he was wondering, the girl suddenly said to him in a very strange tone, "Do you feel that this shroud fits?" β
Listening to the girl's words, Lin Peng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the girl's body. Only then did he realize that the girl was not wearing a cheongsam at all, but the red shroud he had just sent.
"Who are you?" Lin Peng subconsciously took a step back and asked. At this moment, the woman from before came from the corner.
"I'm sorry to scare you." The woman hurriedly pulled the girl aside and said to Lin Peng, "She is my third sister." There are three sisters in our family, and my second sister passed away a few days ago. The third sister's figure is about the same as my second sister, so let her try this shroud to see if it fits. β
After the woman finished speaking, she handed the money to Lin Peng and said, "This is the payment, is it right for you to point the number." β
"Don't order it, you can't be wrong." Looking at the two sisters who were behaving strangely in front of him, Lin Peng felt that his scalp was a little tight, "I'm leaving, if I need to call again in the future." After Lin Peng said this, he suddenly felt a little awkward, and hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean, I hope your family is safe." Lin Peng said as he walked towards the gate.
"It's okay." The woman followed behind Lin Peng and said lightly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal phenomena, no one can escape, if there is a need in the future, I will contact you." β
"Okay, goodbye." In this atmosphere, he felt very uncomfortable, and after finishing speaking, Lin Peng hurriedly stepped out of the door.
"Goodbye." The woman stood at the door and waved at Lin Peng.
Late at night, Lin Peng couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed tossing and turning, and his mind was full of the appearance of the girl in a shroud. He searched his mind for all the girls he had seen since he could remember, and still couldn't remember when or where he had seen her. But the girl's face did make it familiar to him.
Early the next morning, when Lin Peng got up from the bed tiredly, the mobile phone placed at the bedside rang.
The pleasant ringtone came from Lin Peng's own mobile phone, not the one that contacted the business. Lin Peng took a look and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hello, who?"
After being silent for a while, the other party said slowly: "Lin Peng, long time no see." β
Hearing the other party's voice, Lin Peng was stunned. This voice was too familiar to him, it was his former lover Gu Xin.
Lin Peng's relationship with Gu Xin began in his freshman year, but it didn't take long for Lin Peng's parents to know about it and raise strong objections. Although Lin Peng tried his best to lobby in front of his parents, he still failed to convince the second elder. Lin Peng's parents objected to their relationship for a very simple reason - they were not allowed to fall in love during school. In fact, Lin Peng knew in his heart that the reason why his parents objected to him and Gu Xin was mainly because they disliked Gu Xin from the countryside, his family was poor, and he had many brothers and sisters, and he had a heavy burden.
After a stalemate with his parents for half a year, Lin Peng finally chose the latter helplessly between severing the mother-son relationship and giving up Gu Xin. And Gu Xin suddenly dropped out of school shortly after Lin Peng proposed to break up.
Since breaking up with Gu Xin, Lin Peng has dreamed of Gu Xin many nights. Although Gu Xin in the dream is still so beautiful, her expression always looks very sad, and there is a trace of grief in her eyes.
This incident undoubtedly hit Lin Peng hard, and he was very depressed for the whole semester. He has always felt sorry for Gu Xin, and the youth and beauty of his first love are so unforgettable. Therefore, when Gu Xin's voice suddenly appeared in his ears, Lin Peng was a little overwhelmed with excitement, and his eyes moistened with the throbbing heart.
"Gu Xin, how are you?" Lin Peng asked cautiously.
"I'm getting married." Gu Xin's voice sounded very calm, but Lin Peng still heard the sadness and helplessness in it.
"When?" Lin Peng's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and the pain was unbearable.
"Can you come today?" Gu Xin asked with some hesitation.
"I ......" Lin Peng was silent, tears falling down his cheeks.
"I'm not going, but I'll wish you well." Lin Peng wiped his tears and said, "Xi, I hope you are happy." β
After Lin Peng finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone. He closed his eyes, inserted his ten fingers into his hair, and tore them hard, and the scenes of the past came back to his mind. He hated his weakness and his parents' incomprehension, he didn't dare to attend Gu Xin's wedding, let alone look at Gu Xin's eyes.
From Gu Xin's slightly sad words, he could hear that this marriage was not what she wanted.
But there was nothing he could do. He knew that he was a coward who would have to carry a heavy cross for the rest of his life to repay the damage he had done to Gu Xin.
In the evening, Lin Peng was helping out in his uncle's shroud shop, and the mobile phone he put in his pocket to contact business rang.
"Hello." Lin Peng picked up his phone and said.
"Hello, is it Fulu Shroud Shop?" A woman's voice came out of the earpiece.
"Yes, how can I help you?" Lin Peng replied casually.
"I'm the same Ms. Liu who bought the shroud yesterday, do you hear that?"
"Oh, it turned out to be you, what's wrong, is there something wrong with the quality of the shroud?" Lin Peng's mind came up with the somewhat strange figure of the woman.
"No, the purpose of my call is to buy you another set of shrouds." The woman's voice still looked a little urgent, "Didn't you say last time you were leaving, if there is anything I need to call you again?" β
"This ......" Lin Peng felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I just said it in passing, please forgive me." β
"It's okay, I don't mind." The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "But you're really right, I urgently need to buy another set of shrouds now." β
"Is it the same red shroud as last time?"
"No, I need a black one this time." The woman said, "It's the most expensive set you have on the Internet, the one with gold thread embroidered on it." β
"Okay, you tell me the size, and I'll show you it." After consulting his uncle, Lin Peng quoted the price to the woman.
"The price is fine, but I'm in a hurry, I hope you can deliver it tonight." The woman said after reporting the size of the shroud to Lin Peng.
"No, no problem." Lin Peng hesitated for some reason.
Putting down the phone, Lin Peng asked his uncle to find a set of shrouds of a relatively suitable size in the warehouse according to the woman's request.
"Where is the goods delivered?" Wang Dachuan handed the white box containing the shroud to Lin Peng and asked.
"No. 2 Cuilin Road."
"This place sounds so familiar, it's far enough away from us." Wang Dachuan looked out the window and said, "It's about to get dark, it looks like it may rain, pay attention to safety on the road, go and go back quickly." β
"Okay, no problem." Lin Peng walked out of the shroud shop with the white box.
"Wait a minute." Lin Peng had just prepared his things and was about to leave, when Wang Dachuan suddenly walked up to him and said, "I remembered." β
"What do you think of uncle?" Lin Peng looked at Wang Dachuan puzzled.
"No. 2 Cuilin Road." Wang Dachuan said, "I said how I thought this place was so familiar, and I suddenly remembered that there was a murder there five years ago, and in folk parlance, it was a 'murder house'." β
"Murder, murder?" Lin Peng scratched his head in surprise.
"Yes." Wang Dachuan nodded and said, "It is said that two women died in that small building at that time. These two women, one is the mistress of Xiaolou, and the other is the mistress of the male owner. The man's wife called the man's mistress to her house and asked the other party to leave her husband, but for some reason, the two had a verbal discord and fought, and finally both died tragically in the house.
"The hapless man hasn't been to that little building since the incident. So, when you say that the woman who ordered the shroud lives at No. 2 Cuilin Road, I feel that something is wrong. β
"Uncle, it's a shame that you've been in the funeral industry for so long." Lin Peng said a little disappreciatively, "I don't care if it's a murderous house or not, I just deliver the goods and collect the money, even if the people in that house are really ghosts, she doesn't want to give me one less child." β
"You'd better be careful." Wang Dachuan patted the car door and said, "Otherwise, I'll go with you." β
"No need uncle, I can handle it." After Lin Peng finished speaking, he hurriedly left with a gray face.
The sky was overcast, and there was a faint earthy smell in the air. Lin Peng drove out not far away, and the rain fell sparsely. When he finally came to No. 2 Cuilin Road, it was already dark and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Lin Peng ran to the door of the small building in the rain and knocked on the door hurriedly.
The door opened, and the girl who was wearing a shroud before appeared in front of Lin Peng.
"Hello, it's nice to see you again." The girl's voice was still strange, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat.
The girl's words made Lin Peng feel very awkward. Looking at the girl's delicate but somewhat wooden face, he began to suspect that there was something wrong with the girl's spirit. Because it's impossible for any normal customer to say the word "happy" when doing business with someone in his kind of business.
Lin Peng didn't know how to pick up the girl's words, so he didn't say anything at all, just nodded at the girl, and then walked into the house.
The girl handed Lin Peng a white towel and watched him silently.
"What do you always think I'm doing?" Lin Peng was a little uncomfortable by the girl.
"You're handsome." The girl didn't answer Lin Peng's words, but blinked her eyes and said, "What's your name?" β
"My name is Lin Peng."
"Lin Peng." The girl repeated, then nodded and said, "Thank you Lin Peng." β
"Thank me for what?" Lin Peng was confused by the girl's inexplicable words.
"Thank you for coming after such a heavy rain." The girl smiled coldly.
"Yes, the customer is God." Lin Peng reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and returned the towel to the girl.
The living room was still dim, and the four red candles were still flickering in the corners of the walls, making people feel depressed.
"Where's your sister?" After Lin Peng sat down on the sofa in the living room, he did not see the woman surnamed Liu.
"She'll be right over." The girl poured a glass of water and handed it to Lin Peng and said, "Let's drink some water first, I'll go and call my sister over." After the girl finished speaking, she took the white box containing the shroud from Lin Peng's hand, turned around and walked into the room in the corner of the living room, and closed the door.
The living room was still drenched. Because of the rain, the faint musty smell in the room was even stronger. Lin Peng took a sip of water from the cup, then sat on the sofa and waited anxiously.
At this moment, Lin Peng suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the room in the corner, like the sound of some kind of metal falling on the floor. At the same time, there was an exclamation that was obviously from the woman's mouth, but the exclamation was immediately truncated by some external force, and the sound stopped abruptly, and the room suddenly returned to dead silence.
Lin Peng was agitated for a moment, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He subconsciously stood up from the couch and looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment.
Although he never believed in strange powers and gods, and even scoffed at the term "murderous house", the behavior of these two women was indeed a little strange, and he felt fear that he had never felt before.
Lin Peng swallowed his saliva and began to move towards the door. To be careful, he felt that he had to be cautious, and if something happened, he could get out of here as soon as possible.
As soon as Lin Peng took a few steps, he saw the door of the room in the corner suddenly open, and two women walked slowly towards Lin Peng with the black shroud.
"This is the payment, a total of 2,500 yuan, you click the number, right?" The plain white woman handed the money to Lin Peng.
"Don't order it, you can't be wrong." Lin Peng looked at the two women in front of him vigilantly, and after putting away the money, he said, "If there is nothing wrong, I will take my leave." β
After Lin Peng finished speaking, he was about to go to the door.
"Wait a minute." The woman shook the shroud in her hand and said faintly, "I'm so sorry, I want to ask you for a favor, okay?" β
"Help, help?" Lin Peng's body froze, he slowly turned his head and looked at the two expressionless women and asked.
"That's right." The woman walked up to Lin Peng with the shroud and said, "I saw the shroud just now, and I always feel that the size is a little inappropriate, you are about the same size as the deceased, I want to ask you to help try it on, I don't know if you can agree." β
"W-That's not quite right." Lin Peng looked at the woman's bloodless face, and his heart became more and more nervous, "This eldest sister, I really can't agree to your request." It's not that I'm taboo about anything, but it's always a little inappropriate for the living to wear the clothes of the dead. What's more, shrouds are for the dead, and it shouldn't matter much if you're fat or thin. β
"yes, you have a point." The woman pursed her lips, put her hand behind her ear a strand of hair scattered on her forehead, and said, "Well, since that's the case, then thank you." β
"You're welcome." After Lin Peng finished speaking, he walked quickly to the door.
"Xiao Pan, go and send him." The woman said to the girl.
"No, please stay." Lin Peng had already walked to the door at this time.
"Can we meet again?" The girl named Xiao Pan stood at the door and said to Lin Peng, who had already walked out of the door.
The rain had stopped, and Lin Peng stood in the night, glanced back at the girl and said, "It's better not to meet again, it's not a good thing after all." β
"But I think we'll see each other again." The girl suddenly smiled strangely at Lin Peng, and her big eyes were bent into a crescent shape.
The girl smiled beautifully, but Lin Peng suddenly shivered for some reason. As he walked towards his van, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and he tried to steady himself, but the feeling of the world spinning was too strong. Lin Peng's body shook a few times, and then he fell to the ground.
When Lin Peng woke up, he found himself in darkness.
And his hands and feet were tied to death with ropes, and he couldn't move at all.
Lin Peng didn't know where he was at the moment, he only felt that his surroundings were quite narrow, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
He twisted his body with all his might, and suddenly felt an itch on his face, as if something like hair was scratching his face.
He turned his head, and although he couldn't see his surroundings clearly, he felt a hard object close to him.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from a corner of the darkness. Lin Peng hurriedly held his breath and listened carefully.
A dull frictional sound suddenly sounded directly in front of Lin Peng. Immediately afterwards, Lin Peng found a faint light shining on his face.
Suddenly, an unusually pale face appeared in front of Lin Peng. This face was all too familiar to him, it was the face of the woman who ordered the shroud.
"Lin Peng, look at who the people around you are." The woman smiled miserably at Lin Peng.
Lin Peng turned his head to look at his side, and couldn't help but be surprised! Lying beside him turned out to be a long-haired woman in a red shroud. Because the woman's head was covered with a red cloth, Lin Peng couldn't see the woman's face.
"Want to know who the person lying next to you is?" The woman held out a hand and said, "Let me lift her red hijab for you." β
"Ahh When the woman ripped off the red hijab, Lin Peng was surprised to find that the woman lying next to him turned out to be Gu Xin!
At this moment, Gu Xin's face was like ashes, his body was stiff, and he had obviously been dead for a long time. At the same time, Lin Peng also saw clearly through the dim light that he was lying in a coffin. Not only that, but what made him even more frightened was that he was put on a black shroud at some point. And the style of the shroud is exactly the same as the one that the woman ordered.
"W-What the hell is going on?" Lin Peng was frightened, and asked the woman on the coffin with a trembling voice.
"My sister is pregnant with your child." The woman's tears suddenly fell on Lin Peng's face, "You may not know that in our hometown, the pregnancy of an unmarried girl is a big ugly thing that insults the ancestors. Gu Xin once said to me that she loves you very much and hopes to give birth to the child in her belly. She said that although she can't be with you in this life, she has your blood and she is content. However, her idea was too naΓ―ve. Not to mention that in such a feudal place as our hometown, even in the city, this kind of thing will never be allowed by parents. β
"Gu Xin was forced by my parents and relatives to have an abortion. Since then, she seems to have changed as a different person, and she has not spoken a word all day, washing her face with tears. A few days ago someone found my sister's body by the lake and she hanged herself. Gu Xin left a suicide note, which was full of nostalgia for you. She said her only hope was also snuffed out and she had no reason to live. It's strange to me that you abandoned her, but she didn't write a single word of complaint against you in her suicide note. Gu Xin hanged herself because she loved you too much, so you are responsible for my sister's death. β
Speaking of this, the woman suddenly stared at Lin Peng with tears in her eyes and continued: "Since Gu Xin loves you so much, so I am willing to be with you, and I, as a sister, will fulfill her wish and bury you and my sister together, hoping that you can be a loving couple in the underworld." β
Listening to the woman's words, Lin Peng's heart was about to break. He never thought that Gu Xin would be so miserable because of himself. What he didn't expect was that Gu Xin's love for him was so deep and so keen.
However, he knew too late that it was impossible to go back to the way things were. Looking at Gu Xin's cold corpse beside him, Lin Peng's heart suddenly surged with a huge fear. When he turned his gaze to the top of the coffin and was about to say something to the woman, the lid was ruthlessly closed, and Lin Peng fell into the cold darkness again.
After shouting "help" for more than an hour, Lin Peng's voice could no longer make any sound. His body and mind were completely swallowed by the hellish darkness, and his whole person was as stiff and cold as Gu Xin's corpse beside him.
I don't know how long it took, when Lin Peng woke up from the darkness, he suddenly felt his body shaking, and there were chaotic footsteps stomping around him.
He shouted again loudly for help, but to no avail, no one paid any attention to him at all.
After a long time, the shaking stopped.
But then, Lin Peng felt that he was slowly descending with the coffin containing him. Lin Peng closed his eyes, quietly listened to the sound of the soil falling on the coffin lid, and gradually passed out.
When Lin Peng heard movement outside the coffin, he no longer had the strength to shout, but opened his eyes slightly with difficulty, staring at the darkness in front of him in a daze.
The lid of the coffin was moved little by little, and finally a crack was revealed.
"Lin Peng, are you okay?" A familiar voice came in. Although Lin Peng's feet had almost stepped into the ghost gate, this voice still made his cold heart tremble slightly.
"Gu Xin, save me." Lin Peng used his last strength and shouted a few words at it.
As the sound of intermittent friction continued to come, the lid of the coffin was removed little by little. A petite figure appeared in front of Lin Peng's eyes.
The person above jumped into the coffin and untied the ropes tied to Lin Peng's hands and feet.
When Lin Peng climbed out of the coffin with difficulty with the help of someone who came, he regained his light, and at this time, he saw the other party's appearance clearly.
"W-How are you?" Lin Peng lay weakly in the other party's arms, extremely surprised, a feeling of tiredness came up, Lin Peng really couldn't withstand this strong pajamas, and closed his eyes again.
When Lin Peng woke up again, he found that he was already lying in a strange room.
"Thank goodness you're finally awake." A familiar voice came from Lin Peng's side again.
Lin Peng heard this voice......
The girl who has been haunting her heart for a long time.
"Gu Xin, Gu Xin." Lin Peng stretched out his hand, as if to grab the person who spoke.
"I'm not Gu Xin." A familiar face appeared in Lin Peng's field of vision, "My name is Gu Pan, and I am Gu Xin's sister." β
At this time, Lin Peng saw clearly that what appeared in front of him was the girl named Xiaopan who he had seen at No. 2 Cuilin Road before.
"How ...... your voice"
"Yes, I have a very similar voice to my sister." Gu Pan nodded at Lin Peng and said, "That's why I pinched my throat to talk to you at No. 2 Cuilin Road." β
"You don't just voice like your sister, you and Gu Xin are similar in many ways." Lin Peng smiled bitterly with emotion, and then he understood why he had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu when he saw Gu Pan for the first time.
"Come, drink some water." Gu Pan helped Lin Peng sit up, and then brought a glass of water to Lin Peng.
"No, I don't drink it." Lin Peng subconsciously blocked it with his hand.
"Don't worry, this glass of water is fine." Gu Panwei smiled and said, "If I want to harm you, why should I save you?" β
Lin Peng took the water, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it slowly, and suddenly the whole person was in a lot of energy and had a little strength.
"What the hell is going on?" After drinking the water, Lin Peng felt a lot better, he looked at Gu Pan's face that was very similar to Gu Xin and said, "Why did you save me?" β
"All of this was designed by my eldest sister Gu Xia." Gu Pan sighed and said, "To be honest, when I learned about my second sister Gu Xin, I also hated you to the core, and felt that you were a ruthless and unrighteous negative man. After the second sister committed suicide, the eldest sister said to me that the second sister was actually killed by you. β
"So, my eldest sister and I learned what you looked like based on the description of you by the second sister and the photos of the two of you in her diary. Later, after our investigation, we found out that you are currently running an online shroud shop for your uncle, so my eldest sister pretended to be a customer and deceived you to No. 2 Cuilin Road. β
"When you first went to No. 2 Cuilin Road, my eldest sister poured you a glass of water and drugged it, but you didn't drink it at the time. So early the next morning, I called you in the voice of my second sister, falsely claiming that she was going to get married, hoping that you would attend the wedding, and that we would attack you again when the time came, but you didn't agree. β
"Because in our rural area, the yellow calendar is chosen for the yin marriage, and the weather is hot, and my second sister's body cannot be stored for a long time. So, my eldest sister called you again to order a shroud and tricked you to No. 2 Cuilin Road. At that time, my sister and I had already thought that we couldn't let you go this time no matter what.
"Last night when you were in the living room, my eldest sister took the prepared dagger and tried to go out and kill you, but I stopped her. Because I see that you have drunk that drugged water. I snatched the dagger from my eldest sister's hand, but accidentally dropped it on the ground, and I screamed in fright, and my eldest sister covered my mouth in time, but I think you heard it too. β
"Yes, I heard that." Lin Peng asked, "......What is the longevity clothes that Gu Xin and I are wearing?"
"Those are the two that my eldest sister bought from you." Gu Pan glanced at Lin Peng and said, "The two longevity clothes that my eldest sister bought are actually for the second sister and you." Last night was an auspicious day for the wedding, so we pulled you back to your hometown overnight and buried you and my second sister before midnight. But as I watched you being buried alive in the grave, I suddenly felt that I was despicable and had done something that had lost my conscience. β
"Although the death of the second sister makes me hate you very much, but from the second sister's suicide note, I can also see that your choice to break up seems to be a helpless move. Moreover, the reason why the second sister loves you so much, I think it is not without reason. I sat in front of the grave for a long time, wondering if it was right for me and my eldest sister to do this. β
"Then I couldn't allow myself to watch a big living person die like this. So, I quietly went home, grabbed a shovel, and rescued you from it. β
"What's going on at No. 2 Cuilin Road?" Lin Peng suddenly remembered what his uncle Wang Dachuan said to him before, "I heard that it was a murderous mansion, and two women had died in it. β
"There were dead people inside, but not two, it was a young girl." Gu Pan was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said, "No. 2 Cuilin Road is my eldest sister's house. Seven years ago, my eldest sister got married and lived with her brother-in-law at No. 2 Cuilin Road. However, two years after getting married, my eldest sister found out that my brother-in-law was having an affair. Later, my eldest sister asked someone to find out the girl who was having an affair with her brother-in-law, and one night, she invited the girl to her home. β
"At that time, my eldest sister, brother-in-law and the girl were face to face. My eldest sister asked my brother-in-law to express his position on the spot, but my brother-in-law had no choice but to break up with the girl and swore to my eldest sister that he would never do those things like stealing chickens and dogs again. But what I didn't expect was that the girl was very infatuated with my brother-in-law and told my eldest sister that my brother-in-law had promised to marry her in the future. β
Just when the three of them were at a stalemate, the girl actually took a knife from her body. Coerced my eldest sister and said that if my eldest sister could not fulfill her and my brother-in-law, she would die in front of my eldest sister. β
"My eldest sister is fierce by nature, and she hates this kind of thing in the first place, how can she let a yellow-haired girl be frightened. So my eldest sister said to the girl, 'If you want to die, die.'" At that time, my eldest sister was just angry, and I didn't expect that girl to commit suicide. However, after listening to my eldest sister's words, that girl really ......" Gu Pan said this, and suddenly choked up and stopped talking. β
Lin Peng looked at Gu Pan silently, and didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, Gu Pan raised his head and looked at Lin Peng, with tears in his eyes, and then said: "The girl died, although she destroyed my eldest sister's family, but my eldest sister has always been haunted by a young life dying in front of her eyes. She felt that my brother-in-law had caused all this, so she resolutely filed for divorce from my brother-in-law. β
"After the divorce, although the house was awarded to my eldest sister, she moved out of that sad place. And, since then, she has had psychological problems. Gu Pan's memory is very deep, and that memory is unforgettable for her.
She was silent for a moment and continued:
"When she learned about you and my second sister, she felt that you and my brother-in-law were both despicable and irresponsible men, and she blamed you for my second sister's death, just as she blamed my brother-in-law for the girl's death. And in order to fulfill my second sister's wishes, and to punish you men, she returned to No. 2 Cuilin Road, because she felt that it was more meaningful to do it there. β
"But why have I never heard Gu Xin talk about your eldest sister." Lin Peng looked at Gu Pan's slightly haggard face and asked.
"The matter of the eldest sister is a secret of our family." Gu Pan wiped his tears, showed a sneer, and said, "If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have told you." Although my eldest sister's actions are a little cruel, but my second sister's death was indeed caused by you, you can't deny this. β
"Yes, I admit that Gu Xin's death is directly related to me." Lin Peng lowered his head and said helplessly, "I'm sorry for Gu Xin, I don't think I will be able to repay this debt in my life." β
"No, I think you can pay it back, and you have to pay it back." Gu Pan looked at Lin Peng with burning eyes, and the smile on his face looked a little weird.
β¦β¦
Lin Peng led Gu Pan to appear in front of his parents.
"Her name is Gu Pan, and she is Gu Xin's sister." Lin Peng held Gu Pan's hand tightly, looked at his parents with a serious face, and said, "At the beginning, because of your interference, I hurt Gu Xin, but this time it won't, Gu Pan will become your daughter-in-law." β
