The New Year is approaching.

This is the first Spring Festival after the death of Li Yun and Uncle Li, and the situation of the two is similar, but their moods are very different.

Li Yun no longer has any close relatives and no close friends. Last year, the Chinese New Year was an ordinary holiday for him, not much different from Eleventh and May Day. Oh, and there are a few differences. After all, the Chinese New Year is somewhat unique. It is ordinary for Li Yun, but it is an important festival for others. So when it comes to the Chinese New Year, the small shops around the community are closed, and Li Yun has some trouble to solve the needs of daily life.

Uncle Li is completely different. The Chinese New Year is a big event for him. He has a big family, children, grandchildren, and grandchildren, all of whom have to gather together at this time, and also visit relatives and friends, and the schedule is very tight. Now he is suddenly idle. Especially when he chatted with Aunt Li on WeChat recently, and heard her complain that she was the only one busy with the New Year this year, he had some complicated emotions in his heart.

“…… I can see it this time, my son is really your own son. Aunt Li suddenly changed her words and said angrily.

Uncle Li looked at the phone screen in a daze, "Can it still be someone else's?" ”

He didn't think Aunt Li had cheated.

"Hey, yes, it's your seed, just remember you!" Aunt Li sneered, "I said that I would be busy for the New Year, cleaning, shopping, and cooking...... Well said. The result is to ask you for news. What a help. I didn't see him help last year. Like you, you can't wash a single dish, you can't use a kitchen knife, and you say to chop me with dumpling filling. After cutting it twice, I didn't have anything to say, saying what this pork stuffed dad likes to eat the most. I don't like it, do you? ”

Aunt Li complained and counted Li Qinghui down.

Uncle Li sighed and interrupted her, "I'm dead, let him stop thinking about it." ”

"Go to him yourself." Aunt Li choked.

Uncle Li smiled bitterly, "How can I tell him?" ”

Aunt Li stopped squeaking.

"Maybe it's the New Year, I remember. How are you usually? Uncle Li asked worriedly.

"The two girls are usually fine, and I think of you during the New Year." Aunt Li lost her previous posture and became like an ordinary widowed old lady, and said sadly, "I guess the two girls haven't gotten used to it before, they haven't adapted to it, and they don't think you're gone...... Now that I'm ready for the New Year, I feel it. ”

Uncle Li was embarrassed to say it, and he also realized more and more that he was dead. When I got up in the morning during this time, I felt that the bed was empty and cold, and I would look at the door in a daze, wanting to see Aunt Li in the kitchen. However, he habitually looked up and saw a wall. He no longer sleeps at home with his wife, but lives alone in the company's dormitory.

Aunt Li doesn't seem to feel this way, and it may be the same as him, unwilling to talk about her own affairs.

"Gillian specially brought me braised mutton yesterday. That's why you like to eat this. I just told her that no one in the family eats this, and she ...... like that" Aunt Li rarely showed a distressed look.

The second daughter Li Yujiao is almost fifty years old, and she has long lost the qualification to be coquettish in front of Aunt Li, and now only her granddaughter Xixi can be coquettish in front of Aunt Li. However, when Li Yujiao heard her words yesterday, her stunned expression instantly made Aunt Li suddenly return to decades ago, as if she saw her little daughter pitiful again, pinching the body of a toy puppy with one hand and the tail of the puppy with the other, looking at her for help. Only this time, Aunt Li couldn't use her skillful hands to sew up the puppy's tail.

Li Yujiao didn't cry in front of her, but Aunt Li felt that after she went back in a hurry, she must have cried. It's just that the elderly Li Yujiao cried, I'm afraid it won't be as cute as when she was a child, and probably won't cry hoarsely like when she was a child, but she will only shed tears silently. When thinking like this, Aunt Li's distress is the same as that of Li Yujiao when she was a child.

Uncle Li looked at Aunt Li and lowered his eyes, and when he thought of his little daughter, he was also distressed.

For a moment, Uncle Li wanted to tell Aunt Li, don't hide it from them, just tell them that he is still there, he is still fine.

Before the words could be spoken, Uncle Li heard Li Yun's shout.

Uncle Li suppressed his emotions and looked up at the door.

Li Yun had already opened the door and came in, "Uncle Li, I'll go to Feng Siyun's side." I heard her crying and crying for help. I'll call you if there's something. ”

After hurriedly explaining a few words, Li Yun continued loudly as he ran out: "Yi Xin is coming back, you tell her!" ”

Uncle Li didn't have time to stop him and ask him clearly, so when he chased to the door of the room, he saw that Li Yun had already rushed out.

"Who is Feng Siyun? Did Xiao Li have a girlfriend? Aunt Li had already collected her sad emotions and asked curiously.

Uncle Li shook his head, "It's a little girl I mentioned to you before." Do you remember? The ...... whose parents died"

"Oh." Aunt Li elongated her voice sympathetically, "That little girl is poor...... Don't let any more happen. ”

When Li Yun ran out, he had the same idea.

He now deeply hopes that the boss can provide him with more strength, so that he can burn those evil ghosts with a fire just like he saved Lu Yu and Fang Xiaotian, Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi before.

However, for some reason, he could only hear Feng Siyun's frightened cries and cries for help, but he couldn't send the boss's ability over at all. As for what he saw, there was only Feng Siyun who shrunk his body, and the white figure that Feng Siyun saw at a frightened glance.

Perhaps the evil ghost was just hovering nearby, not approaching Feng Siyun, nor attacking her, which made Li Yun unable to borrow the boss's ability.

It stands to reason that the evil ghost should not attack Feng Siyun again, Feng Siyun is not its target at all. It was going to kill Feng Siyun, and the last time it killed Feng Zhihui, it would be able to do it. It killed Ding Yue and Feng Zhihui, leaving Feng Siyun alone, not out of any kindness or malice, but just because it was unnecessary.

Li Yun remembered what the old female ghost who had lived for 800 years or 1,000 years said.

The experience of the evil ghost was pitiful and hateful, he was deceived by the man, thinking that he had found a gentle and mature husband, and his married life was happy, but he did not expect that his marriage certificate with the man was fake, and the man was maintaining another marriage relationship at that time, and he had been married for decades, and the children were very big, and he never thought about divorcing his wife. In fact, the evil ghost was a third party who intervened in someone else's marriage, and on the day he discovered this fact, he was pushed downstairs in the process of fighting with the couple, and his body was killed.

But what happened after that made people feel less sympathetic to it.

Instead of taking revenge on the man who cheated on her and killed her, it killed the other party's wife and wanted to replace her and continue the false married life with the man. As a result, the man was sentenced for killing her at that time. It waited for a while in the original home of the two, becoming more and more manic, and finally entered the prison to kill the man, expecting the man to become a ghost like it, so as to be an inseparable ** wife. The man failed to give birth to a ghost.

Disappointed, it began to choose a target and wanted to start another family.

The old female ghost said that it had done several times in that community, but it didn't work. There aren't so many people who have yin and yang eyes or inspiration, and most people don't perceive the existence of ghosts for the rest of their lives, or, even if they do, they can't do anything to ghosts, and ghosts can't do anything about them. Of course, it may also be because the demon's "technology" was not proficient and his ability was not strong enough. In short, after returning a few times in vain, it gradually left the neighborhood and disappeared.

Li Yun felt that it must have succeeded a few times after that. It must have killed a lot of people. Ding Yue and Feng Zhihui are by no means the first and second victims, nor are they the last two victims. But no matter how he thought about it, Feng Siyun shouldn't be the next target of that evil ghost.

Li Yun spent a lot of time rushing to Feng Siyun's city by public transportation, and then traveled thousands of miles to the community where she lived.

Following Feng Siyun's memory and stepping into this community, Li Yun immediately felt that something was wrong.

The atmosphere of the community is somewhat similar to the atmosphere of Wang Yiqiu's community.

The festive decorations for the Spring Festival have all been hung up, and in this jubilant red, there are some unnatural blue-gray spreads in the air.

Li Yun followed those breaths and looked at the windows of nearby residential buildings.

Behind the window, a figure flashed by.

Li Yun chuckled in his heart, and when he took two steps forward, he could tell that the aura did not come from evil ghosts, but seemed to be just the aura emitted by ordinary ghosts.

He wasn't reassured.

Li Yun ignored those ordinary ghosts for the time being, followed Feng Siyun's memory, and found the residential building according to the way she usually went home.

Feng Siyun was still huddled on the bed, not moving.

Her grandmother touched her trembling little body, thinking that she was sick, and that she had relapsed, and was anxious.

"I think it's better to call an ambulance and rush to the hospital." Feng Siyun's grandfather said.

"Go to the hospital again...... That's not a good place......"

"What about staying at home and watching the baby die?" Feng Siyun's grandfather snorted, turned around and went to call, "It's been a morning, maybe it's been like this since last night, and it can't be delayed." ”

Feng Siyun's grandmother sighed and hugged Feng Siyun's body, "Let's go to the doctor and see the doctor." Don't do that, good boy. If you're like this, what should you do with your grandmother and grandfather...... Your mom and dad are gone......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk like that." There was a shout from my grandfather outside, and he immediately changed his tone and told the 120 operator about the situation.

As soon as Li Yun came in through the door, he saw this scene. Thinking about the scene Feng Siyun saw last night, he came to the window and looked at the opposite building.

Suddenly, he turned his head and met Feng Siyun's dark and shining eyes.

Feng Siyun was held by his grandmother, his eyes were wide open, and he looked straight at him.

She could see him.

This thought flashed through Li Yun's mind, and he saw Feng Siyun trembling nervously, opening his mouth as if he was about to let out a scream that pierced the sky.

Li Yun hurriedly held her emotions and explained, "Feng Siyun, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." I'm a friend of your mom and dad. Do you remember what happened in the hospital that day? Your mom and dad came to say goodbye to you and told you to tell your grandparents that they had insurance, and they had deposits, and that they were going to sell the house......"

Li Yun hurriedly said a bunch of things, wanting to prove his identity.

Feng Siyun's scream was swallowed back, his eyes were full of doubt, and there was sadness that was hooked up by Li Yun.

"Your grandmother and grandfather can't see me. Tell me, you saw someone here last night? What floor did you see on the opposite floor? Li Yun tried to stay calm.

Feng Siyun thought for a moment and said softly, "Fourth floor." ”

When grandma heard the voice, she straightened up slightly and looked at Feng Siyun, "What fourth floor?" ”

Feng Siyun didn't answer, only glanced at Li Yun secretly.

Li Yun had already turned around and looked out the window at the opposite residential building.

There was no one behind the window on the fourth floor opposite, but from the room there was a blue-gray smell of ghosts.

"Don't be afraid. I'll go over there and see what's going on. Don't scare your grandparents. You...... The ambulance is coming, so you go to the hospital first. Don't be afraid. Li Yun comforted Feng Siyun a few words. He is really not good at dealing with children, he will only say "don't be afraid", and everything else is arranged.

But this reminded Feng Siyun of the goodbye to his parents.

said goodbye in such a hurry, Dad and Mom only had time to arrange the aftermath, and the rest of the comforting words were so poor and pale.

But she knew that it was the last time her father and mother expressed their love and concern. What they miss in their hearts is that she and her grandmother, grandfather, and grandparents can live safely.

Feng Siyun had tears in her eyes and nodded lightly in her grandmother's arms.

Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly went downstairs, and ran to the fourth floor of the opposite building.

Feng Siyun poked his head out of his grandmother's arms and looked timidly at the window. She seemed to see Li Yun's figure, and she seemed to see someone else. No matter who it was, there was no ghost in white, which made her feel a little at ease.

Li Yun entered the strange house, and soon followed the breath and found the ghost dressed in white.

The ghost was a man, and naturally he was not wearing a white dress or a lady's clothes. Judging by the white short sleeves, he should have died in the summer. Only the upper half of his body is solid, and the other parts are translucent, and he looks like a "ghost" at first glance.

The male ghost was very surprised when he saw Li Yun. Although his appearance is incomplete, his state is much better than that of a lonely ghost, he is sane and can speak. This made Li Yun suspect that his missing body might have something to do with the cause of his death, rather than gradually disappearing after death.

When the male ghost saw Li Yun, he shouted vigilantly: "I already occupy this place, brother, you can find another place." ”

Li Yun was confused, "You're not from this family, are you?" ”

"It's not."

"And how did you get in?" Li Yun asked.

This is a question he did not get an answer to at Wang Yiqiu's house.

He now felt that even if he extinguished the incense in Wang Yiqiu's house, it would not solve the problem of ghosts and shadows in the community, and they didn't have to bother waiting for the results of the experiment anymore.

The male ghost looked at Li Yun in surprise, "How did you get in, how did I get in." ”

Li Yun was stunned, and his brain exploded, making his ears feel a buzzing ring.

He opened his mouth, unable to speak for a while, and asked with difficulty, "I am asking...... I'm asking, how did it suddenly ...... You couldn't come in before, right? ”

The male ghost nodded, "yes, I couldn't come in before." He sighed, "I used to have to find some shops to stay in. I don't know what's wrong, but I was suddenly able to come in. Anyway, everybody is doing it now. It's better to live at home than to float outside or live in a store. ”

Li Yun's body was numb, a little incredulous, and he felt that this answer should have been expected by him.

"Why do you want to move in?" Li Yun asked in a dry voice.

The male ghost continued to look at Li Yun with strange eyes, "Why? What else could it be? You have to find a place to live. Besides, it's almost the New Year. It's the New Year, so you have to find a place to stay. Brother, did you just die this year? ”

Li Yun nodded.

"No wonder...... You'll know once a year. It tasted so unpleasant. The Chinese New Year is still lively, and it is good to be popular. The male ghost smiled, "You can do anything." I don't want to be sinned again. This year, you have to find a lively place to celebrate the New Year. You should go and pick a place early. Look at the picking, don't find the kind of person who wants to go back to your hometown for the New Year, then you have to go back, I don't know if there is someone in the house over there. The "human" he said probably refers to a ghost who rubs the flavor of other people's New Year.

The male ghost explained some of the ghosts' New Year's "customs" to Li Yun very kindly, but he didn't seem to understand the reason, he only knew that doing so would make him more comfortable.

Li Yun thought of what Black and White Impermanence had said to him at the earliest.

People need to socialize, and so do ghosts.

When people are lonely, they will have problems mentally and physically.

The same is probably true for ghosts.

It's just that after a person has a problem, he can find a way to treat it.

And after the ghost has a problem, it will probably only turn into a demon and relieve his pain by killing the living.

The Spring Festival is a day for the living to reunite, and it is also the most difficult period for ghosts.

Li Yungang thought of these things in a complicated mood, and then thought of Feng Siyun again.

His complicated mood became heavy, and he sank all the way to the bottomless depth, unable to float at all.

He couldn't persuade the male ghost to leave, and he knew that even if the male ghost left, a new ghost might "stay" here.

Li Yun walked out in silence, and when he heard the male ghost say goodbye to him behind him, he didn't have the strength to respond.

He walked out of the residential building step by step, and suddenly felt the coldness on his body.

He looked up and saw the snowflakes falling from the stars.

It's snowing.

Li Yun saw that among the snowflakes in the sky, a particularly large white light appeared on the roof of the residential building. His heart moved, and he returned to the building where Feng Siyun lived, and did not go to see Feng Siyun, but went all the way to the top floor and went to the roof.

The large cloud of white light appeared in Li Yun's field of vision. As he got closer, he saw a man sitting behind a few solar panels.

Hei Wuchang sat on the edge of the roof, and those two long legs actually stretched out from the gap in the roof fence without hindrance. Under the loose pants, there are two legs that look like bamboo poles unexpectedly.

Li Yun remembered the side business of Black Impermanence in the world. It is probably impossible for the average person to have such thin legs, but if it is a model, it seems that this should be the case.

Hei Wuchang grabbed the railing and shook his legs, like a leisurely child, humming a song in his mouth.

In comparison, Bai Wuchang looked much more solemn. The white light on his body was also more dazzling than usual.

Li Yun didn't know if it was because of his own heavy mood, or if he really saw his emotions from Bai Wuchang's iceberg-like face, and he seemed to be able to hear Bai Wuchang's heartbeat now.

Although black and white impermanence has the appearance of a human being, they are not human, they are not even "ghosts". Ghosts unconsciously mimic their pre-life state, but black and white impermanence does not usually simulate heartbeat and breathing.

"Did you see the little girl?" Black Impermanence was the first to speak.

Li Yun nodded, and when he saw the back of the black impermanence's head, he replied loudly: "I see." ”

"Huh." Black Impermanence laughed.

Li Yun's chest was tight.

"Children don't have the kind of awareness and control that adults have. So when they cross that line, a little better, when it's a dream, or like anything else, they forget about it later; If it's a little worse, you won't know how to go back, and you'll just go farther and farther to the other side...... This original, it all depends on creation. Black Impermanence explained with rare patience, and his tone was calm, without sarcasm or condescending pointing.

But those words smashed into Li Yun's heart.

Li Yun also felt Bai Wuchang's heartbeat getting louder and louder.

"But ah, this Feng kid is different." Hei Impermanence withdrew his leg from the gap in the railing, stood up, and turned around, looking at Bai Impermanence and Li Yun.

His eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, "I witnessed my mother's death, saw the evil ghost, personally admitted the existence of the ghost, and witnessed the scene when my father was killed by the evil ghost...... Finally, she saw her recently deceased parents and listened to her last words. That's impressive. I want to think of what happened before as a nightmare, as a hallucination caused by a brain stress response, and after ten or twenty years, I will laugh and say to my loved ones or close friends, 'I saw ghosts when I was a child, and I suspected that my parents were killed by ghosts...... None of this will work. She'll just say, 'There's a ghost behind you,'......"

Hei Wuchang raised his hand and pointed at Li Yun, still with a mocking smile on his face.

"Thanks to you, she has been opened to yin and yang, and she will see ghosts in her life."
