I stopped outside, and I guess I was dead.

More than an hour later, at three o'clock, many people had dispersed. I finally waited for the family of the deceased to come and identify the body. There were fewer people, and I could see the corpse. After the cloth was removed from the corpse's face, I saw her face. It was a woman in her twenties. A face has changed color. On such a cold day, why did you choose to jump into the river?

But the woman was pretty and had good skin. Don't talk about why I'm so cold, Master often says that you have to be kind in your eyes and cold in your heart. Why don't we do this, and after seeing so many lives and deaths, we still have to cry to the victim every day?

I immediately thought of asking her if I could change her face. This kind of thing is based on the principle of mutual willingness and negotiation of conditions, if she is unwilling, then forget it.

But seeing that the timing was not right, I didn't bother the family, and went home first.

The next day, just after dawn, I went out. At home, when my mom gets up, I can't help but listen to her cry again. I bought breakfast, ate it by the river, and then went to a small shop next door and listened to two old men playing chess and talking about the previous night.

They said the woman was a working girl nearby who had been abandoned by her boyfriend and jumped off. At that time, someone tried to pull her, but they didn't. It's something that can't be helped.

Another old man said that the river had not died for many years, and now that one had died, I don't know if anyone will die this time next year.

It turns out that it wasn't a stand-in? That's easy to do. I hurried to prepare, and when it got dark, I waited by the river.

When I was bored, I called Tao Jing and asked her if she was beaten at school? There is no bullying. She was already speaking neatly, and yelled at me, "You were beaten!" I'm going to hang up, I'm under the office building now. I will go to Mr. Yang to do the exercises later. It is not good to be seen by the teacher using a mobile phone. ”

That's what I said, but how many people in Eleven don't have a mobile phone? I looked at the phone that had been hung up, I am leaving now, Tao Jing still goes to Mr. Yang every day to make up for classes? Tsk, that's a conundrum!

It was completely dark, and I was on the river where the woman's body had been pulled up yesterday, planting incense and candles and burning paper money. Needless to say, this place was where she had been dragged up, and here, she knew I was looking for her.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a pair of pale hands with purple patches stretched out from under the water. The hand tried to grasp the grass by the river, but it couldn't. It was as if she had climbed up, but her feet were caught in something underneath her, and her hands could only reach here.

"Pull me, pull me." Her voice was in my head.

This kind of dead in the water generally can't get up. Only by waiting for about the same time next year to find a substitute for the dead will it be possible to leave here. And this year is the most painful time for her. She was always experiencing the cold feeling of dying.

I whispered, "You're dead." ”

"Pull me, it's so cold here, it's cold." The hand was bent into a claw and swung towards me, as if trying to grab my foot. But it didn't work, her hand couldn't reach out.

If she has a strong resentment, such as that she was killed inside, then it is possible to drag the person who killed her into the water. But she didn't have that strong resentment, and I wasn't the one who killed her. She could only reach out and grasp the void.

The second hand was also stretched out, and she cried and said, "It's cold, it's cold." I don't want to be here, I don't want to ......"

"It's the path you choose."

"Woo, I didn't know it would be so cold, it's really cold in the water." Many people think that death is liberation, and death is a hundred ends, but they don't know that death is the beginning of suffering.

I stopped burning the paper and said, "I can get you up, but not now." And I want you to make an exchange with me. ”

"Can you really get me ashore? I'll exchange with you, and I can exchange anything. ”

"I'm going to change your face. I have a friend who has a scar on her face, six or seven centimeters long and almost two centimeters wide. Now the wound has scarred. I want to exchange her scar for you. If you agree, I'll bring you up. ”

The waving hands didn't move again, just slowly, slowly sinking into the water. She doesn't want to? She didn't want to? She'd rather be cold in the water for that year than trade a scar for warmth. How can women think like this? Can it be eaten as a meal, and can it be used as a warm piece of clothing?

But this kind of thing has to be agreed upon by both parties, and I can't say anything more, if she doesn't agree, then don't agree. I still burned all the paper money I brought with her. I don't know what she did with the paper money in the water. That's the rule, let's do it.

Seeing that the paper money was burned, I turned around and prepared to leave. This one doesn't work, so let's go next. You can always find it if you look for it. Right here, the water behind him rattled a few times, and it was not the sound of normal water flowing. When I looked back, I saw the woman crawling up. The clothes are wet, the hair is also wet, and the face is even more invisible, it is purple from the cold. Her hands were gripping the grass on the ground, her knuckles were deformed and bent, and she crawled towards me. There was a white chill all over his body, trembling slightly, and his teeth were rattling.

Could it be that this woman did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone? I wondered, how could she have such a strong energy?

But my worries were in vain, because in the next second, she was already screaming and being dragged back into the river by some force.

I whispered, "It's hard for you to crawl out on your own." If you promise me, I can tell your parents that they will ask someone to come here tomorrow, that is, the day of your three dynasties, to do something for you, so that you can leave here, follow them to the funeral home, and accept the excess and leave well. Under normal circumstances, your parents should only be doing things in the funeral home, and they will not be here at all. You're just going to have to wait here for a year, or 10 years, or 20 years. I need a little bit of your hair, and after the face change, you will have that scar on your face, but don't worry, your next generation will not wear this scar. Once you have done it all over again, you are still so beautiful. ”

Once again, she reached out from the water, but couldn't grasp anything.

I'm not in a hurry to leave, my gut feeling I'll be able to talk about it tonight.

Sure enough, her words came to my mind: "Okay, I promise to exchange, I promise to change face." He doesn't love me, so what does it matter if I'm not beautiful? I promise you. Let me get out of here. ”

I let out a secret sigh, and it was finally done. "I'll let my parents do something for you tomorrow. You'll be able to get out of here with them. When you're gone, I'll go to the funeral home for your funeral, remember, give me a few of your hairs. Thank you. ”

I watched as the hands slowly sank into the water, and then walked home.

When I got home, my mom hadn't gotten off work yet. I sat down at my desk, took out the banknotes, and wondered how to get the woman's parents to invite someone to go to the river. Turning the pen in my hand, I still started a game first, and asked in my heart about the situation in the woman's family. Then began to write to the bureau.

Mom and Dad, I'm gone. My passbook is in the desk drawer on the north side of my room. It's not a lot of money, and it's a little bit of my heart. I know my boyfriend is playing with other women on the internet, and I shouldn't have to die for this. But......

When I write a letter, the handwriting must be different from that of the woman. But it doesn't matter, what I'm writing is in line with their family's situation. In addition, her parents had just lost their child so suddenly, and now that they saw this letter, they would definitely not delve into the details.

I just walked smoothly, sprinkled with 800 words, and then I got to the point. What water is so cold and very uncomfortable. I begged her parents to ask someone to go to the river to do something, so that she could come up.

In order for her parents to find a reliable husband, I also left the address of an old gentleman who had drunk with my master a few times and had several business dealings.

All that was done was to find the woman's parents. For this kind of self-killing, the police station just notified the family and took away the body to understand the situation.

In addition, if you are not married yet, maybe it will not stop, and the matter will almost be cremated and buried. After I wrote this letter, I drove to the funeral home overnight. Indeed, the family has already put the women in the coffin, and it is estimated that they will be cremated early tomorrow morning. I quietly pressed the pebbles against the door, so it would be easy to spot.

When I come back, I can pick up my mom from work. I didn't tell Tao Jing about this, I was worried that she would be afraid. It's her who changed her face this time, if she is afraid to stop doing it, then won't I be in vain? Don't let her know about these things.

Not long after dawn the next day, I faintly heard the sound of dinging.

My mother was drying her clothes on the balcony and said, "Bao, you can read at home today, and my mother will ask you about the fifth middle school today." No. 5 Middle School is close to our home. Alas, how can it be done over there. It seems to be the woman who died by the river. ”

"Mom!" I shouted, "Don't ask about the fifth middle school." I still have something to do today, and I'll read a good book tomorrow. ”

My words were exchanged for my mother's tears. I spent 10 minutes getting dressed, brushing my teeth, washing my face, and going out. Or she could have cried longer when she looked at me. After I went out, I went straight to the funeral home, asking for hair, or going to ask the corpse.

It is estimated that tomorrow will be Sunday, and Tao Jing will also have a weekend, so it is best to take her over tonight and do it tonight.
