Chapter 189: Learned (1)
Zero Hour News: [#生日聚会变悲剧#暴雨致七人死亡] Xiao Zhang, who rents a vacation villa for a birthday party for a short period of time, would never have thought that a heavy rain caused the villa to flood and the circuit failed, which killed him and his six friends. Police have launched an investigation into the villa and the property. It is reported that such holiday villas are rented out by private individuals, which often cause potential safety hazards due to long-term vacancy, frequent tenant changes, and landlords without relevant business qualifications. According to legal experts, the family of the deceased can file a lawsuit against the landlord, the property and the rental platform.

Wang Yiqiu tirelessly tried to communicate with her parents.
She spoke in the ears of Li Jingjing and Wang Sheng countless times, stood in front of them, and tried to write down what she wanted to say with pen and paper, mobile phone and computer many times.
She even learned from horror movies, wanting to put hot water and fog the mirror to write; She also tried to knock over the water glass, allowing the water to flow on the table and gather into words.
Even if she can't communicate with her parents in words or words, she wants to tell them that she is fine now.
She has tried to dream, she has tried to stir the curtains, she has tried to turn the pages, she has also tried to blow at her parents, like a fool, "messing" at home.
But every attempt ended in failure.
Wang Yiqiu originally felt heartache, but now she tasted a trace of numbness.
She didn't worry about her little nephew anymore. She saw him in the hospital and saw that he was all right.
Li Yun came to terms with her death sooner than the adults in the family.
She thought it was because Li Yun had a different experience. He knew that she would have another beginning, that there would be a peaceful life—in another world.
Li Yun couldn't see or hear her.
Wang Yiqiu didn't dare to approach Li Yun. She remembered what Black and White Impermanence had said.
Even so, she heard Li Yun's comfort to her parents.
“…… My aunt must be watching us from heaven, and she will bless us, just like our ancestors. ”
Li Yun's fairy tales were exchanged for Li Jingjing's bitter tears.
Li Yun was at a loss for what to do, and was hugged by his grandfather's "milk" and "milk".
Wang Yiqiu also heard his aggrieved and stubborn words when he was taken away: "Really! "Milk" "Milk", really! My aunt is definitely watching us from heaven now, and she'll be fine. Brother Bai Wuchang told me this, as well as the old man in the hospital, and another big brother of Black Impermanence......"
No one believes the child's fairy tales. Even if the family thinks that Li Yun has indeed hit an evil and encountered something that science cannot explain, they don't believe in the idea of black and white impermanence.
His words could not be a consolation for Li Jingjing and Wang Sheng.
Wang Yiqiu stood in front of the sofa, blocking the TV, but she couldn't block her parents' sight.
Footage of the past is playing on the television. There are videos of their family, travels, birthdays, dinners, and short videos of her hanging out with her classmates and friends. After the video was played, countless photos were displayed one by one. There's no soundtrack, just auto-play the photos in the album and show those big smiles on the TV screen.
Li Jingjing and Wang Sheng sat side by side, without communication, and their eyes were red when they looked at the TV, without any focal length.
Wang Sheng's mobile phone rang suddenly. He quickly picked up his phone and answered the call.
"Brother, hey, right ......" Wang Sheng's voice was hoarse, "Is there a new clue from the police?" ”
Li Jingjing was indifferent to this.
After Wang Sheng said a few words, he thanked him in disappointment and hung up the phone.
Wang Yiqiu looked at it and felt a pain in her heart.
Her parents, who had a deep affection for each other, were divided over her death.
Wang Sheng believed in the judgment of the police, and what saddened him the most was that he was negligent for a while, allowing Wang Yiqiu to encounter the most vicious gangsters, who were killed and dismembered;
Li Jingjing thought that Wang Yiqiu had also hit the evil spirit, and there was a lot of overlap with Li Yun's experience, she regretted that she told Wang Yiqiu to relax, and regretted that she didn't fully believe Wang Yiqiu's words.
"I'm fine now......" Wang Yiqiu said softly.
She was in a trance for a moment, remembering the short time she had spent in Xudu.
When Jiang Longchang talked about Xudu and his life after death, his tone was comforting and relaxed.
Those ghosts squatting at the gate of the city and lining up along the city wall have two completely different appearances, the same relaxed and undisguised concern as Jiang Longchang, and the different from Jiang Longchang showing a sluggish and empty ......
If she is still in the capital, it should be the latter situation.
She's not good.
Wang Yiqiu squatted down tiredly and slowly sat on the ground.
She had learned that death was not the most terrible thing.
"Don't do that...... Please, don't do this......" Wang Yiqiu muttered.
Why can't her parents hear her?
Why can't she pass on her thoughts to them anyway?
Suddenly, the phone rang. This time it's not Wang Sheng's mobile phone, nor is it Li Jingjing's mobile phone.
Both men were unresponsive looking for the source of the sound.
Wang Yiqiu reacted a little faster than them. She could tell it was her own cell phone ringing.
But among the three people, Li Jingjing was the first to stand up.
After Li Jingjing stood up, her legs and feet were numb, and after taking two steps, she stabilized her figure. She limped a little to Wang Yiqiu's room and found the mobile phone that was placed on the table to charge.
The room was neatly tidied up, but some small objects were spread out on the table as Wang Yiqiu did before his death.
Wang Yiqiu followed Li Jingjing and looked at her phone blankly.
The caller ID on the screen is a good friend of Wang Yiqiu, the two have been in the same school since elementary school, they have been at the same table in elementary school, and they are in the same class again in high school, and they are good girlfriends.
After Li Jingjing saw the call, she also recognized the name and picked up the phone silently.
“…… Well, Xiaoqiu she ...... Let's go...... Passed away. Li Jingjing said slowly, "I haven't informed you yet." Oh, yes. It's sudden...... Hmmm......"
Li Jingjing coped with the other party.
Wang Yiqiu seemed to feel something in her heart at this moment.
She heard her best friend's stunned voice on the phone.
After a few moments, the call ended.
But Wang Yiqiu also heard the voice of her best friend.
She seemed to see the figure of her best friend, and saw her sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the phone, starting from her fingertips, her body slowly trembled. She burst into tears, but she couldn't stop crying, and finally she cried out. Her parents ran in in panic and asked what was going on.
"Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu...... Xiaoqiu is dead...... Wow, ahhh......h
In that cry, Wang Yiqiu seemed to feel something and came out of her heart.
Tears fell from her already dry eyes.
"Don't cry. Don't cry......" Wang Yiqiu stretched out her hand and touched her wet cheeks, only to find that she didn't see her best friend, but had already appeared next to her best friend.
The girl who was crying didn't notice the unusual touch, but Wang Yiqiu felt warm tears on her fingers.
Wang Yiqiu was stunned.
She seemed to have woken up to something, and when she turned around, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa in the living room again.
"Whose phone number?" Wang Sheng asked.
"Xiaoqiu's friend." Li Jingjing replied.
After a brief conversation, the two did not speak again.
Wang Yiqiu looked at them, her lips moved, "I...... It's dead...... I'm dead...... I'm really dead...... Please...... Please, accept this reality......"
"Ah, it's five o'clock. I'm going to cook. Li Jingjing stood up and walked through Wang Yiqiu's ghost.
"Have you eaten all the steaks you bought?" Wang Sheng suddenly asked.
"Nope. Don't eat steak today. I bought shrimp, made a fried shrimp, and small rib soup, and stir-fried two vegetarian dishes. Li Jingjing replied.
The conversation between the two suddenly became normal.
After Li Jingjing entered the kitchen, she washed rice and cooked rice, and her movements were skillful.
Wang Yiqiu saw her cook the same amount of food as usual, and burned her favorite fried shrimp and small rib soup.
"I'm really dead...... I'm dead...... I'm already dead......" Wang Yiqiu's tears kept falling.
She looked at her parents sitting at the dinner table and the empty seat.
They didn't pull out the chair, they didn't go out of their way to put an extra bowl of rice, but they left that gap. The fried shrimp was placed in front of the empty seat, and all the dishes were not placed in the middle of the table, but close to the empty seat. Neither of them ate shrimp first, and when they ate small chop soup, they both sandwiched winter melon first. Li Jingjing occasionally glanced at the fried shrimp, as if to confirm how much the dish had been eaten. When Wang Sheng scooped the soup, he scooped the small chops, but he chose a small chop that was cut crookedly, and when he scooped the winter melon, he chose the thickly cut pieces.
They knew that Wang Yiqiu was dead, but they never admitted it in their hearts.
"I'm dead...... Wang Yiqiu's voice became weak, "I'm already dead......"
She, the deceased, became the only person in the family who accepted the fact that "Wang Yiqiu died".
