Chapter 7: Strange Eyes

"That's right, Sister Lu." Bao Datong swallowed his saliva, "People are dead, and they can't let go of their obsession with their relatives, which is not only a harm to themselves, but also painful to the deceased." ”

"But he didn't go, I could feel it. Every night, he's standing in front of my window, but I just can't catch him! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch it. Lu Yan looked at her hand, looking annoyed and desperate, "He seems to be in pain, and he can't speak, I know he must be in trouble!" I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't! ”

"Sister Lu, do you think this is good? I'll do a ritual for your husband, and I don't charge for it. Your husband will definitely reach the other side safely, and you have to be strong, even if it is for your baby. Bao Datong sympathized with Lu Yan, but didn't know how to comfort him.

He has always lived in the mountains with his father, although he has learned a lot of Taoist philosophy and experienced wind and waves, but his personality has always been very enthusiastic, and he has never been able to deal with the misery and helplessness of the world. Although he can usually speak well, he can't think of anything to say now.

"He must have something to tell me. I also have something to tell him, about our children! ”

"Sister Lu, it is not appropriate for the two worlds of yin and yang to be connected unless there are special circumstances, otherwise the world will be chaotic. You're still -- look at the point. ”

Seeing that Bao Datong refused to help, Lu Yan's lips trembled a few times, and she looked at him with wide eyes, as if she was about to say something, but she suddenly lowered her head, held her face and cried. She cried so sadly and tried desperately to suppress herself, but she only let out a whimpering sound and her shoulders trembled.

Wan Li has always been soft-hearted, and when he saw this, he looked at Bao Datong, his eyes and Lu Yan's sadness were like a clip, squeezing Bao Datong's heart sour and astringent, and after a while, he finally sighed, reached out and patted Lu Yan's shoulder, "Sister Lu, don't be sad, I'll help you." ”

His words were like a spell, which made Lu Yan immediately stop crying, raised a pair of teary eyes to look at Bao Datong, and said in surprise and joy, "Really? Mr. Bao, will you help me? ”

Bao Datong nodded, "Yes, I'll help you." But what I want to say is that I can't guarantee success. Seeing that you have a depression around you, your husband is afraid that he has passed away for a long time. If he has been reincarnated, then you can only mourn and face the rest of your life strongly. If he really lingers as you said, I hope you don't feel unbearable when you see him, and don't force him to stay. Okay? ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan nodded busily and wiped the tears on her face vigorously, as if she would guarantee that she would follow instructions with this kind of action.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and your husband and wife will only increase their sadness when they meet, let me ask again, are you sure you want to see him?"

"Yes, please Mr. Bao."

"No regrets?"

"Never."

"Alright, now I'll send someone to send you home first." Bao Datong said solemnly, "I guess your child is not very old, and your mother and son live alone, and now that it is so late, you should not leave your child alone at home." Tomorrow you see what time is convenient, I will take my assistant to your house to have a look, and then make the next step. All right? ”

Lu Yan stood up, looking a little excited, obviously Bao Datong's guess was correct, which made her feel more convinced and grateful to Bao Datong, "Thank you, Mr. Bao, I have to go to work tomorrow, but I will go home at six o'clock in the evening." If you don't dislike it, please ask Mr. Bao to have a light meal by the way, seven o'clock, is it okay? ”

"Absolutely." Without waiting for Bao Datong to speak, Wan Li replied.

He was afraid that Bao Datong would refuse the invitation to dinner. Although Bao Datong may have good intentions, Lu Yan is currently psychologically fragile, and if she can do something for Bao Datong, her mood will be much better, so going to the appointment is the best way.

"Doctor Wan has the final say." Bao Datong also stood up, "Then please ask Doctor Wan to work hard and send Sister Lu home." ”

"No, don't bother, I can go by myself." Lu Yan was quite reserved.

Wan Li looked out the window, there was no trace of a car, not even a bicycle, and smiled kindly, "You're welcome, there is no bus now, I'll send you." ”

Seeing Wanli and Lu Yan walk out of the door, Liu Tiedao, who had been eavesdropping, said, "Brother Wan is really an understanding and good man." ”

"Am I not?" Bao Datong glanced at him.

"The bag is a magic stick." The naughty Ni Yang learned the tone of the female guests and called Bao Datong, "Don't beat me, it's Brother Wan who said you are a god." But then again, Brother Bao seems to be really a bit of a Taoist, how do you know that she lives alone and leaves her children at home alone? Can this be seen from the aura of the body? ”

"What a breath all around!" Bao Datong reprimanded, "As long as you are careful, you can see it from your appearance." Miss Lu's eyes were sad and lonely, and she looked a little frightened, and at first glance it was the insecurity brought about by living alone. She said, her husband passed away, there is only one child, you see how young she is, how old the child can be, and in the process of talking to us, she looked at the table twice, which shows that there is something uneasy. I also tell you that she doesn't have a ring on her hand, and if I'm not mistaken, it's likely that she wasn't officially married to her husband. ”

"Brother Bao is Sherlock Holmes." Ni Yang praised from the bottom of his heart, "But Brother Bao, you look so good, can you do it?" ”

"Sister Xiao Xia said that Brother Bao made up people with illusions." Liu Tie said, "But that woman's appearance is so pitiful, I can't bear to refuse!" ”

Knowing that Liu Tie and Ni Yang didn't know Ruan Zhan and his own inside story, and also knew that it was not appropriate for these two big boys to understand, Bao Datong went down the slope and went down the donkey, "So we must look at deception with a dialectical scientific view, sometimes well-intentioned deception is necessary, if it can make her feel comforted, there is nothing wrong with deception." Bao Datong said as he walked to the stairs, "But you two must remember that you will never face up to your weaknesses, and it is better to solve the problem by yourself." ”

With that, he walked briskly upstairs.

He had to recite the Taoist scriptures several times, because he had violated his father's teachings and should not have promised to help others communicate yin and yang. Taoism is all about going with the flow, and there is nothing more natural in this world than life and death! His approach couldn't better make Lu Yan forget.

The next night, Bao Datong, Xiao Xia and Wan Li came to Lu Yan's house together.

"What floor does she live on?" Bao Datong stumbled under his feet.

"She said she lived on the third floor."

"She said?"

"She didn't let me go upstairs yesterday." Wanli replied, and his head almost hit the debris protruding from the wall.

This is the junction of urban and rural areas, not close to the city, except for the bungalows, most of them are this kind of three-storey old-fashioned tube buildings. It was already midnight when he sent Lu Yan home last night, and there were no street lights here, and Lu Yan had a flashlight with him, so he didn't let him send her to the door.

"An innocent woman with a child, of course she won't provoke a pervert like you for no reason." Bao Datong smiled with a 'card', although he walked in this dark corridor, he did not forget to attack Wanli at any time.

When I walked into the building, I found that there were very few residents in this building, and on both sides of the dark and long corridors, only a few houses had a little light under the cracks in the doors, and the rest were all black. Although it won't rain anymore tonight, the weather is very gloomy, and there are no lights in the corridor, so the three of them are almost groping their way upstairs. I don't know if it's the psychological effect of being in a strange dark environment, Xiao Xia always feels that something is around and gasps slightly.

"It's better than falling into the hands of your pub pet." Thousands of miles back.

I finally went up to the third floor in the dark, only to see that there were fewer residents here, and there were only lights in three doors in total. According to Lu Yan's previous instructions, they found the innermost house and found that there was a staircase on one side of this building, which means that Lu Yan's house was a dead corner of this dark and long corridor.

When the door opened, Lu Yan opened the door a little shyly.

"Welcome, please come in."

Xiao Xia nodded, and rushed to the door with Bao Datong and Wanli. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, and always felt a cold swish in her back, and when she entered this bright room, the door was tightly closed behind her back, and her heart was relieved.

It was a small inside and outside room, cleanly and plainly furnished, with a table already full of hearty meals, but there was no bed, and it was clear that the inner room was the bedroom.

"Sit down, it's going to be dinner right away, I'll call the little boy out to show you." Lu Yan smiled flatteringly, then opened the door and took the child out.

"This is my son, five years old, called Xiao Tong." She caressed the top of the child's head lovingly, "Little boy, call uncle and aunt quickly." ”

The child didn't say anything, just reached out to pull the corner of his mother's clothes, and Xiao Xia felt that his heart was about to break the moment he saw the child.

This child is the same as his mother, thin and pale, but his facial features are very beautiful, the delicate face, the black thin eyebrows, the straight nose bridge, the perfectly curved mouth, the big eyes that flicker, the childishness and innocence in the eyes, all of them are so beautiful that people love them, and they can't tell whether it is a boy or a girl in front of them, they just feel like a little person in a cartoon.

It's just that this kid is in a wheelchair!

At this moment, Xiao Xia felt that the creator was very cruel, how could he destroy such a beautiful and harmless thing!

"This kid, it's not a person, I'm sorry, he's a little scared." Lu Yan explained apologetically.

"It's okay, it's good to get acquainted." Xiao Xia hurriedly smiled and walked in front of the child, squatting down, "Xiao Tong, is it?" Auntie brought you chocolates! ”

Because she knew in advance that Lu Yan had a child and that the child had no father, Xiao Xia was very sympathetic to the mother and son and prepared candy in advance. It's just that she didn't think that the mother and son were even more miserable than she imagined, and such a lovely child turned out to be disabled.

Xiao Tong looked at the candy, then at his mother, and when he got the affirmation, he timidly took the candy and smiled at Xiao Xia. In an instant, that innocent smile made Xiao Xia's heart melt, and she decided to help the mother and son.

The meal was eaten like that, although Lu Yan's mother and son were very shy, but fortunately, Bao Datong was very thick-skinned, and Wanli was very good at talking, so the guests and hosts were happy. Maybe this happy atmosphere also infected Xiao Tong, who seemed to be very happy, and even served vegetables to Xiao Xia. And Wan Li takes care of Xiao Xia every time he takes care of Lu Yan, trying his best to avoid making this woman who has lost her husband sad.

After the meal, Xiao Xia insisted on helping Lu Yan wash the dishes, and by the way, she asked what was going on with Xiao Tong's legs.

"It's fine before the age of four, but you can walk fast!" Lu Yan hid the tears in her eyes, "One day suddenly it didn't work, in order to treat his leg, I sold all the houses, and I went to all the major hospitals across the country for a year, and I didn't find out what the disease was." The doctor said that it could be neurological, or it could be a psychological cause caused by an emergency, in short, he just can't walk now. I thought that one day, maybe one day, his leg would suddenly get better, just like it suddenly broke. Silly, isn't it? But I really don't know what to do! ”

"Children - don't they go to kindergarten or preschool?"

"He can't take care of himself, and no school is willing to accept him." Lu Yan lowered her head.

"It's going to be okay, I'll find a way to help you." Xiao Xia didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to comfort Lu Yan and quickly tidy up the dishes, "I'll go play with the little boys, you can talk to them about business." ”

Because of the child's illness, Lu Yan must be in great financial difficulty, and the house was sold, so she had to rent here. The environment here is quite bad, remote, dark and particularly unsafe. But she is a woman with a child, and her education is not high, so she only found a job as a supermarket tally clerk, and of course she has no money to live in a better place.

In particular, this child can't go to school, can't walk, can only be left in an empty home every day, can't enjoy the sunshine and childlike fun, is locked up day by day, eating and going to the toilet is a problem, this is also too pitiful!

Although she is not a psychiatrist, she can also see that the child is a little autistic. It's no wonder that he, he is still so young, but he must be very timid and painful to face loneliness and neglect. This reminded Xiao Xia of Ruan Zhan. He must have been even more sad when he was a child, not only being ostracized by both the adult world and the children's world, but also facing hatred and malice.

It's a pity that she didn't meet him earlier, couldn't give him warmth, couldn't give him love. So, let her help the poor mother and son first, and help the little boy first!

"Xiaotong, is it okay for Auntie to tell you a story?" She walked over and held the child in her arms, the soft body and the unique sweet fragrance of the toddler inspired all of Xiao Xia's motherhood. She patiently and gently hugged the child, and told one fairy tale after another she knew, and she talked about it for as long as they talked outside.

"The boy must be the third pig, and the house must be very strong and sturdy, so that the bad guys can't get in." She stroked the soft hair on the child's forehead and said softly.

"Really?"

A voice sounded in Xiao Xia's ears, the voice was very immature, but the tone was strange. Xiao Xia subconsciously looked sideways and saw Xiao Tong smiling at her.

At that glance, it was like an ice pick piercing from the top of Konatsu's head to the center of her feet, making her heart suddenly contract!

Children are not children anymore!

The face is still the same as that of a child, but the eyes have changed. I can't tell what it has become, but I feel that the eyes don't match the child's cute little face, cool, malicious, calculating, cunning, sophisticated, that is the eyes of adults, and it is a very scheming adult, and it is also excited and bloodthirsty after seeing the prey of the beast.

Ahh

She screamed softly, instinctively pushed the boy out of her arms, and threw him to the ground with a 'snap'.

At the same time, there was a 'squeak' and the door behind him opened.

Xiao Xia gasped, only to see Lu Yan pounce from behind, "Xiaotong, why did you fall off the bed?" Where did you fall? She hurriedly picked up her son and checked it up and down, looking frightened.

"What's wrong?" Wan Li and Bao Datong also poked their heads in from the door.

Xiao Xia stared at all this blankly, and the shock in her heart had not yet passed. And under Lu Yan's embrace, Xiao Xia saw Xiao Tong's face again!

The child is still the same child, where did the adult eyes come from, but they were aggrieved, panicked, and tearful, as if they didn't understand why such a gentle aunt would suddenly throw him away, which made Xiao Xia feel guilty and self-blame!

...
