Wu Yun involuntarily glanced at Wei Xiaofeng, and he understood why Xiao Feng would say something like "She doesn't seem to be averse to ghosts and the like" in the car just now. Because ordinary normal people don't take the initiative to lead things to the side of the strange forces, but the aunt in front of him said the word "ghost" without seeing it, which really surprised him.

And Wei Xiaofeng replied, "I'm right, right?" Such a look in the eyes.

Qiu Baiyun looked at the expressions of the two of them, confused, and hurriedly asked, "Is what I just said too strange?" So you can't accept it. ”

Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly turned their gaze back to her and shook their heads in sync. Wu Yun said: "No, no, no...... Aunt Qiu, how did you think about this? ”

Qiu Baiyun clasped his hands together for the third time and said: "Man is the combination of soul and body, after death, the spirit and body are separated, the body slowly turns into dust, and the soul returns to Bliss. But if there is something that a person cannot let go of before he dies, the soul will remain in the world and become a ghost. Since Xiaotong left a suicide note before committing suicide, it means that the child is not at ease, so he turned into a ghost after his death to take revenge on others. ”

After she said this, she looked at Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng's unsurprised expressions, and smiled slightly.

Wei Xiaofeng asked curiously: "Aunt Qiu, a year ago, you were not surprised by the haunting in our dormitory, and today you took the initiative to put forward the claim that Xiaotong turned into a ghost after his death to take revenge on his classmates. Why aren't you averse to ghosts and the like? ”

Qiu Baiyun said slowly: "Actually, I didn't believe it when I was young, but then I encountered a dream from someone who had died, so it would be difficult for me to believe it after that......

"Can you tell me?"

Qiu Baiyun sighed lightly and nodded. "Okay, let's talk about it. I have to start with my mother-in-law. It must have been ten years ago, my mother-in-law was eighty-one at the time, but her body was still very strong, and there was no problem in living to be 90 years old. But no one can really say for sure. My mother-in-law's body could still carry a bag of rice from the head of the village to the end of the village, but she choked to death with a small bean while eating. My mother-in-law has an heirloom treasure that she has been secretly hiding by her, saying that she will tell us where the baby is when she leaves. As a result, she left suddenly, without explaining anything, and my wife and I searched the house and couldn't find where the baby was, so I can only think that my mother-in-law was a trick when she was alive. After three or four years, the government wanted to expropriate the land in our village, compensate each of our families for a house, and also pay a large amount of compensation, and asked us to relocate. On the night my wife and I were about to move out of the old house, my mother-in-law gave me and my wife a dream in which she told us where she had hidden her baby. The next morning we woke up and searched for the place my mother-in-law had told us in her dream, and we found the treasure. Presumably she knew that we were going to move away and didn't want the baby to be buried, so she asked us to take it away, right? Tell me, when I encounter this kind of thing that my dead mother-in-law gave us in a dream, can I still not believe that there are no ghosts or anything like that in this world? ”

Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng nodded in agreement. Qiu Baiyun's encounter with her mother-in-law's dream is actually almost the same thing as Wei Xiaofeng's prophetic dream.

"So the house that the government compensated you for is the one in Beicheng Garden?" Wu Yun asked.

"Yes." Qiu Baiyun nodded and said, "When our village was demolished, the Beicheng Garden had not yet been built, so the government first asked the people in our village to move to a temporary residence, and when the relocation and resettlement houses were built, they could move in immediately." However, my wife and I did not go to the temporary accommodation arranged by the government at that time, because he was running construction sites all over the city, and I had been running an agency in this storefront, so we used the government's compensation money and the savings we had saved over our lives to buy a house in the vicinity, so that it was convenient to commute to work. And after the new house in Beicheng Garden was built, we didn't plan to live in it, so we rented it out after a simple renovation. ”

"So, as soon as the house was built, you rented it to Wu Xiujiang and Xiaotong's mother and daughter?"

"yes. A few days after the notice of my rental house was posted, Xiujiang found my agency. But she didn't find me through the rental notice, she came to see if there was a suitable rental room. I learned that she was a little widow and was pulling a daughter, and I thought it was not easy for her, so I rented the demolition and resettlement house to her very cheaply. The shared area of that house is 72 square meters, and I ask her for a thousand yuan in rent every month, and the price has not increased in five years. ”

"What a good heart you have!" Wei Xiaofeng said with emotion.

Qiu Baiyun waved his hand and said embarrassedly, "No." In fact, my wife and I have enough income to eat, and I have a son who has already started a family and doesn't need us to worry about it, so I don't mean to point to the rent of that house. It's also good to be able to pull others when they have difficulties, and accumulate some virtue for yourself. I also gave them some furniture and objects that were not used in our old house. ”

Wu Yun asked, "You have been in contact with their mother and daughter, can you tell me what their impression is on you?" ”

"Impressions?" Qiu Baiyun tilted his head slightly, and said while thinking, "Xiujiang is a person who doesn't like to talk very much, so he will do things with his head bored, but she is indeed a very capable woman." Also, if you can't do it, how can you pull your daughter so big? She is a bit tough, and she thinks of one thing and goes there in one go, and the three cows can't pull it back. She has had a hard time these years, so people look older than her age, but she can still see that she was a big beauty when she was young. She said that her husband died soon after the birth of her daughter, so she should have been widowed for more than ten years, but she has worked hard with her daughter for more than ten years, and she has never thought about finding a man to marry, so it is easier. After she rented my house, I often persuaded her to take another step, it is not easy for a woman with children, she always smiled at me and did not speak. Over the years, I've seen some men around her take a bit of an interest in her, but she's turned them down. In her case, I think that unless she really can't let go of her dead husband, she made up the matter of her husband's death, and in fact, her husband ran away with someone else, so she is dead to men and marriage. ”

Qiu Baiyun took a sip of boiling water, moistened his throat, and continued: "As for her daughter Xiaotong, she is really cute, she should be like her mother." He has big eyes, a round face, likes to comb two braids, and walks with a sway. But this little girl's personality is also like her mother, afraid of life and doesn't like to talk. I met her three or four times before she was willing to say a few more words to me. Xiujiang is busy with work during the day, sometimes she works the night shift and falls asleep when she comes home the next morning, and she has no time to take care of her, but she can also take care of herself alone and is very self-reliant. Later, Xiujiang Province frugalized land let her go to the kind of school with expensive tuition, boarding system, so I went home once a week on weekends, and I rarely saw her. But I heard that she studies well and is a sensible child. Hey, such an obedient child suddenly couldn't think of sucking the gas and left, I didn't expect it......"

Wu Yun silently waited for Qiu Baiyun to chew off the sadness that welled up in his mouth before he asked softly, "Auntie, haven't you heard Xiaotong talk about things in school?" ”

Qiu Baiyun sniffed and said, "No, I just said it, that girl doesn't like to talk in the first place, and after she went to school in the East China Sea, I rarely saw her." ”

Wu Yun asked, "Then her mother Wu Xiujiang moved out of your house shortly after Xiaotong's death, did she tell you where she moved to?" ”

Qiu Baiyun shook his head. "It should have been last Wednesday, when Xiujiang suddenly called me at noon, saying that she was moving out of that house, saying that she didn't want to stay in the place where her daughter died, it would cause sadness, and said thank you for taking care of their mother and daughter over the years, and the rest of the rent this month will not have to be refunded to her. After saying this, she hung up the phone, and didn't say where she was going to move. When I called back, she was already off. In the afternoon, I went to the house in Beihai Garden, and she almost only took some clothes and objects, furniture, and daily things still in the house. ”

Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng glanced at each other and tacitly gave each other a wry smile.

Wu Yun sighed lightly and said, "It seems that she received a large amount of compensation from her daughter's school, and she was forcibly sealed and sent to the accommodation arranged by the school. ”

"yes, it's not that easy to find her." Wei Xiaofeng said with some dejection.

At this time, Qiu Baiyun also completely understood the reason why the two of them found him today. "Oh, it turns out that you came to me to find Xiujiang, you think I know where Xiujiang moved, right?"

Wu Yun said truthfully: "Actually, we asked the neighbors on the left and right sides of your house before we called you just now, and they didn't know where Xiujiang had moved, but they just told us that maybe the landlord would know." But it seems...... It's okay, it's expected anyway. ”

"You are looking for Xiujiang, and you also want to know why Xiaotong's girl committed suicide, right?"

Wei Xiaofeng nodded. The suicide note left by Xiaotong before her death was quickly disposed of by her school, so the only people who knew the content of the suicide note were her mother and the people from the school who first discovered Xiaotong's death. But the school will definitely not say it, so we can only ask Xiaotong's mother to find out. ”

"That's right." Qiu Baiyun thought of something and asked, "You haven't told me yet, why are you so concerned about Xiaotong's affairs?" You can't know her, right? ”

Wei Xiaofeng glanced at Wu Yun and saw that he nodded, so he said, "Auntie, in fact, I won't tell you anything, we met Xiaotong on the afternoon of the second day after she committed suicide. ”

Qiu Baiyun's hand holding the teacup shook, and the water in the cup spilled all over the table.
