Chapter 61: Ling Xiao
My heart moved, and I hurriedly unzipped my coat and took the doll out. It's a stuffed bear, dirty, with a zipper on its bottom. I pinched it with my hand again, and sure enough, there was something inside, hard. Unzipping it, I took the bear and shook it, and something fell out. I picked it up, took out my phone and took a picture, only to see that it was a pendant, boxy, with a small photo inlaid inside. In the photo, it's a little girl...
I think, this little girl must be the one buried in the 'Dongshan Cemetery', Boss Ling's daughter, Ling Xiao... When I got my phone closer, I saw that the girl was wearing two cute ponytails, smiling very brightly, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth...
Suddenly, there was a 'boom' in my head, and under the huge shock of my body, the phone and the pendant both fell to the ground... The girl in the photo, no matter the eyes, nose, mouth... He Yuxin is simply carved out of a mold, and it is Yuxin when she was a child! β¦
I was shivering and my back was chilling, what's going on? How could this little girl be so much like Yuxin? β¦ After a while, I barely managed to calm myself down, and comforted myself in my heart, maybe I was wrong just now...
I swallowed hard, picked up the pendant and phone, and looked again... It's like a hammer hitting my heart at once, I'm not mistaken, this one in the photo, it must be Yuxin when I was a child, otherwise, there can't be a second person who will look so long with Yuxin...
I went limp, sat down on the ground, thoughts flashing through my head... What the hell is going on? If Ling Xiao was Yuxin, then she would have been... Already dead? β¦
Suddenly, I thought of Old Man Liu's daughter, when she was in the funeral home, she and Yu Xin had a photo, why didn't she realize that Yu Xin looked very much like the daughter of her former boss? β¦ However, then I thought that according to the woman, when she entered Boss Ling's lighting factory, Boss Ling's daughter was already dead, and she had never seen it at all... In 1994... In Dongshan Cemetery, the date engraved on the tombstone is 1994... Twelve years ago...
I've known Yuxin for more than a year, and she can't be someone who has long since died. If she is this Ling Xiao, then the Ling Xiao tomb in Dongshan Cemetery must be an empty tomb... Suddenly, I thought of the missing Boss Ling... Could it be that Boss Ling did not disappear, but changed his identity, he was the one who had a friend with me in the villa area years ago, Yuxin's father? β¦ A huge, boundless net appeared in front of my eyes...
Thinking like this, my eyes fell on the door of the room on the third floor, and I thought to myself, maybe, in this room on the third floor, there is the answer I want...
Gritting my teeth and standing up, I looked at my phone, the phone came here, there was no signal at all, but the time was still moving, it was more than eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was still a long time before one o'clock in the evening.
Groping around my body, I felt the key around my waist and took it off. I'm going to break the keyring straight and see if I can break the lock on the door. But my keyring is too strong to be straight. Suddenly, I remembered that when I tied up the woman, she also had a key hanging from her waist, so I went downstairs to the second floor...
"Brother, did you miss me and change your mind? I knew you wouldn't want to leave me here alone..."
"Get out!"
"Tooth (oops), why are you so fierce, let me go? People are here alone, so scared..."
"Are you afraid?" I sneered, "You dare to eat even people, what else would you be afraid of?" Don't talk nonsense, or I'll strangle you right away! β¦β
As I spoke, I put my hand on the woman's waist.
"Oh... It's so itchy, brother, you are so bad, while scolding others, you want others, hurry up and untie my belt and take off your pants, people can't wait..."
I pulled down the key, raised my leg and kicked this woman, I can't imagine that there can be such a shameless and lowly woman in the world.
This woman's keyring is so thin that I can easily straighten it. Back on the third floor, I did what I did with the wind, and I broke a small hook at one end and poked into the keyhole... However, this kind of thing is not something that can be learned, it took a lot of effort, and it took a lot of effort to toss until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and I still didn't open the lock, and my stomach was 'gurgling' for a while, I was already hungry before my heart was close to my heart, and it was still foggy outside, and I couldn't tell the difference between day and night...
I forced myself not to think about eating, wiped the sweat from my head, gritted my teeth, and continued to concentrate on unlocking. At about three o'clock, I heard a soft 'click' inside the lock. My hands trembled slightly, and I twisted it tentatively, and with a 'click', the lock popped open...
I felt like I was losing my strength, and I fell to one side and hurriedly held my hand against the wall. After a while, I took the lock off and cautiously, pushed the door open little by little...
My heart pounded, and I pushed the door open a gap, and after waiting for a while, there was no movement, so I turned sideways and stepped into the door.
The room on the third floor, like the one on the second floor, was dim. After I came in, I realized that the room on the third floor was not single, there was a compartment inside, and then there was a door. On that door, there are several long talismans pasted on the cross...
I thought of what I saw in Xiao Jiu's eyes, the two glowing 'eyes' in the window on the top floor of the building... Compared to the building in front of me, the location of those two eyes should be the compartment in front of me, judging from the yellow charm posted on the door of this compartment, there must be something unusual in this compartment, what could it be...
I didn't dare to tear off the charm on the door, and looked at the lock, only to see that the door was filled with the inner lock, and I put the keyring into the keyhole as I had done before, and tinkered with it for hours, but I didn't open it, and I was exhausted and had to give up. I decided to wait for Ah Feng to come over and figure out a way together.
After a moment's rest, I began to take a closer look at the room I was in. I saw that this room was decorated very cartoonish, there were a lot of toy cars and other things scattered on the ground, there was a drawing board against the wall, and on the wall not far from the drawing board, there was a small blackboard, and then there was a small table on the blackboard, and there was a notebook on the table...
My heart moved, I walked over, grabbed the notebook, blew the dust on it, opened it, and there were words in it. took out his mobile phone, pressed the light to go up, and saw that it was a diary inside:
On Γ Γ, 1994, it was rainy
Xiao'er, my daughter, from today onwards, Dad will write his thoughts about you into this diary... (I said in my heart, it seems that this diary was written by Boss Ling, continue to read down)... I can't believe it, my child, my baby, my little angel, you are just gone, leaving Daddy forever. At lunchtime, I made your favorite dishes, and set you dishes and chopsticks, in a trance, I seemed to see you sitting there, as before, picked up the dishes, handed them to me, and said, Dad, Xiao'er clip it for you to eat... My baby, you are so well-behaved and sensible, maybe God is jealous, so I took you away from me... When I woke up last night, I walked into your room in a daze, wanting to quietly see you sleeping sweetly like before, however, Dad saw only the empty bed, baby, are you okay in heaven? Happy? If you miss your father, you can give your father a dream, okay? Daddy misses you so much... It's cold here at home, is it cold in heaven? Dad will go to the cemetery tomorrow and burn a piece of clothing for you, and when Dad is not around, you have to learn to take care of yourself, you know...
I looked back one by one, and tears poured out like a spring. These diaries are full of a father's unforgettable love and longing for his daughter. Judging between the lines, this Ling Xiao seems to be really dead, but the cause of her death is not recorded in the diary... So, is Yuxin Ling Xiao or not? β¦ If so, Yuxin's father must not be the Boss Ling who wrote the diary, so who is he? β¦
Tiredness, hunger, came at me in bursts, I flipped through the diary, saw a blur in my eyes, cranky, unconsciously lay on the diary and fell asleep...
I don't know how long it took, I woke up, grabbed my phone to check the time, and found that the phone was dead. Looking outside, it's still foggy, what time is it now, why hasn't Ah Feng come over yet? β¦
I tried to unlock the door again, but it still wouldn't open, so I decided to go downstairs and take a look. Because I was really disgusted with that woman and didn't want to have anything to do with her again, I didn't go to the second floor, but went straight downstairs, went out of the door, and looked around, the fog was misty. After looking at this for a while, I felt a little thirsty and decided to go to the second floor to drink some water, but before I went, I had to plug my ears so that I wouldn't vomit out the water that I drank in disgust by the woman's shameless words... Thinking so, I took out a piece of talisman paper, tore it in half, rolled it into strips, and was about to stuff it into my ear, when suddenly, I saw a person in the fog in the distance, as if a person flashed for a moment, and then disappeared...
Judging by the figure, it was a man. I thought to myself, how can there be anyone else here besides me and that shameless woman? Could it be that ... I felt like I had been asleep for a long time, and I thought to myself, maybe one o'clock was already past, the fog had dispersed earlier, and he jumped towards the wind, and then, he might have found something on the periphery of this building, so he didn't go upstairs... Could it be that the one just now was to the wind... Thinking about it this way, I feel that judging from the back of the person just now, it really looks a bit like the wind...
"Ah Fengβ" I shouted, my voice sounding faint.
Without any response, I turned my head and looked upstairs, calmed down, and walked into the unknown world in front of me...
