Mother Liu didn't seem to notice the change in my attitude, and continued to talk about the past: "I untied Xiaorui from the ceiling, my Xiaorui, she can no longer see me, I untied the curtains, this

It was her favorite curtain. I put her on the curtain and hugged her tightly, my little pistil. I will never see her grow up and get married."

As Liu's mother spoke, she reached out and touched the curtain cloth on the table. I couldn't help but sarcastically said: "If you had had such a trace of courage at that time, Xiaorui would not have died, and you would not have ended up like this."

Mother Liu was stunned for a moment, did not answer my words, and continued to tell her story.

Two people died at home. This kind of thing cannot be concealed, not to mention that there are blood stains on the ground. I also saw the final result from the newspaper clipping of my father’s friend. The two of them reported the crime and said that a murder occurred at home.

, As for the murderer who was never found later, what I don’t understand is why Mother Liu still wanted to protect Lao Chu at this point. Mother Liu looked up at me, with an innocent look on her face, and said, "I have lost my daughter, and I will never do it again."

Can't lose him."

I almost couldn't help but yell. This woman's love for Lao Chu has reached a perverted level. It can no longer be viewed with normal eyes. I wanted to stand up and slam the door away several times. Thinking about it,

There were still many unsolved mysteries, so I had no choice but to sit down and listen to her continue.

After losing two children, the family suddenly lost a lot of energy. Lao Chu was even less interested in going to work, and his temper became more and more irritable. He would punch and kick Mother Liu at every turn, and sometimes he would sit blankly without saying a word.

Liu's mother was worried that he would become a lunatic if he continued like this, but she didn't know how to comfort him. Every time he opened his mouth, he would get punched and kicked by him, so she could only hide in silence and cry while looking at her daughter's photos.

But suddenly one day, Liu's mother noticed that Lao Chu seemed to have changed. Although he was still a little nervous, he started running outside all day long and didn't come back until very late.

He looked at the picked up paper repeatedly, and then carefully glued it together. He was extremely careful when doing all this, as if it was something extremely important. Every once in a while, he would see Lao Chu using these papers.

I put it in a large leather envelope and took it out. Then I came back empty-handed. I don’t know who it was given to.

That day when Liu's mother came home from shopping for groceries, she saw Lao Chu lying on the bed moaning. When he looked closer, his face was frighteningly white and he was running a high fever. Liu's mother was shocked and rushed to take him to the doctor.

But Lao Chu rejected her kindness, then pointed to a cowhide envelope on the table and said, "Send this."

What else did Liu's mother want to persuade? Lao Chu's face darkened, and she immediately gave in. Lao Chu was still worried and repeatedly warned: "Be sure to send it, and don't go to this address to find someone, otherwise Xiaowei will come back

No home left.”

Xiaowei is the name of Lao Chu's son. Mother Liu was startled by Lao Chu's words. She thought he had a fever and tried to persuade him to go to the hospital. Lao Chu rarely scolded her this time and just said:

"Xiaorui didn't lie to me, she really saw that woman."

Mother Liu was really frightened this time, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just remembered Lao Chu's instructions and rushed to the post office to tell her to send this big leather envelope. She just kept thinking about Lao Chu's words and curiosity along the way.

Finally, she was prompted to write down the address and recipient on the envelope. The address was in this city, and the recipient's name was also very ordinary, but he had the same surname as Lao Chu, Chu Jiangshan.

After finishing everything, she returned home and took Lao Chu to the hospital. Lao Chu repeatedly asked if she had sent the letter. Except for concealing the address she wrote down, Mrs. Liu told Lao Chu truthfully and clearly. Lao Chu

Seeing that there was no accident, she didn't say anything. She just repeatedly told her not to go to that place to look for anyone. This made Liu's mother even more curious. She found an opportunity to ask Lao Chu: "You said Xiaorui didn't lie.

You, what does that mean?"

Maybe Lao Chu felt a little guilty, so he rarely yelled at Liu's mother. He was stunned and said: "I saw that woman. She said Xiaowei could come back, and I really saw Xiaowei."

Already."

Mother Liu wanted to ask something from Lao Chu, but Lao Chu refused to speak anyway. In desperation, Mother Liu decided to go find the address on the letter behind Lao Chu's back, because she suddenly thought:

Since Lao Chu can see Xiaowei, she can also see Xiaorui and take her home. No matter how many doubts she has in her heart, whether she believes it or not, she has to give it a try.

Mother Liu found an excuse to sneak out, found the place according to the impression in her mind, and then climbed up to the 5th floor. Along the way, she kept thinking about how to speak, but she knocked on the door for a long time without success.

Maybe it was because there was no one at home. Mother Liu waited at the stairs until it got dark and no one came back, so she had no choice but to leave and go home.

Just as she was walking down, she suddenly heard someone calling her "Mom" from behind. The voice was familiar. It was Xiaorui's voice. Although Liu's mother suspected that she heard it wrong, she couldn't help but reply.

Over the head, right behind her, stood Xiaorui, still wearing a nightgown, but it had changed from black to red, as if the blood that dyed her entire skirt red that day, just like the same person next to her

A woman in a red skirt, and that woman actually looks exactly like me.

My heart was also squeezed tightly by Liu’s mother’s story. This mysterious woman in a red dress finally appeared. I asked: “What happened next?”

Mother Liu seemed to have remembered something sweet, and a rare smile appeared on her face, saying: "At this moment, I heard footsteps coming from behind. I turned around, and then I saw him."

I have seen photos of Chu Jiangshan, and I can only say that he is an extremely ordinary-looking man. When Liu’s mother saw him, she did not immediately feel the spark of love as described in those romance novels, not to mention that she only loved him at that time.

Lao Chu had no other thoughts about any man. The reason she was excited was that someone finally came up, and this person was probably the person she was waiting for.

Chu Jiangshan saw Liu's mother standing at the top of the stairs. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Mother Liu remembered that there was Xiao Rui and the woman in the red dress behind her. She turned around quickly, but there was no one behind her. Just when she was in a daze, Chu Jiangshan asked again: "Who are you looking for?"

?”

Mother Liu regained her composure, pointed to the door, and said, "I'm looking for the owner of this place."

Chu Jiangshan said: "That's me, what do you want from me?"

Mother Liu was still repeating the conversation when she first met Chu Jiangshan. I couldn't help it anymore and asked, "You met Chu Jiangshan, and then what?"

Mother Liu heard my impatience, glanced at me apologetically, and said, "I told him that I was the one who often sent him things. He frowned and thought about it, but seemed to not be able to remember who I was.

He just asked me why I was looking for him. I thought about it and told him everything. I even told him that I just saw my daughter. I begged him to help me like he helped Lao Chu. I hope he can

Seeing my daughter grow up.

I was so excited at that time that I was already a little incoherent. I didn't notice that his face turned dark and he seemed to be extremely unhappy. When I found out, he just looked at me and asked me if I would pay any price to realize this dream.

Are you willing to pay? I nodded and agreed to everything. Even if this dream was so absurd, I didn't care.

Seeing that I was so determined, he asked me to wait, then went into the house and brought me something. He said that someone would contact me, and then told me to leave quickly and never come here again. He said this

There was fear on his face at that time. I didn’t know what he was afraid of at that time, but I still gratefully agreed to him. After I walked a few steps, he stopped me again and asked me to stay with him.

After thinking about it for a while, I agreed to give him an address and phone number."

I asked: "What did he give you?" I already knew vaguely what it was. Sure enough, Mother Liu gently replied: "It's a jade pendant with a peony carved on it."

Mother Liu took this jade pendant but no one contacted her. Just when she was anxiously waiting to find Chu Jiangshan, Chu Jiangshan came to the door himself, and his purpose of coming to the door was even more unexpected.

To Mama Liu's surprise, he actually came to express his love for her.

I was a little helpless after hearing this. If the letter about Wang Qiang is true, then Chu Jiangshan can be said to have some problems with his life style. Now he even takes the initiative to come to Liu's mother's door. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as "extremely bold".

Well, if Lao Chu finds out, I really don’t know what will happen.

Although Mama Liu was very surprised at the time, she couldn't refuse her too obviously because of Xiaorui's matter. However, Chu Jiangshan was reluctant to leave Mama Liu. As time went by, Mama Liu gradually learned more about him.

, knew that he was a writer, and knew that many people like Lao Chu sent him letters to provide him with various materials, so that day he looked confused when he heard Mama Liu say that she was the one who sent him letters.

, but Chu Jiangshan never told Liu’s mother why Lao Chu could see Xiaowei and why he said Xiaowei would go home. As for when he could see Xiaorui again, Chu Jiangshan did not answer her.

Just when Liu's mother gradually began to feel disappointed, she received a letter, which arranged a task for her. She said that as long as she completed the task, she could see her daughter grow up. There was no signature at the end of the letter, just a drawing of

The woman in the red dress was the same as the one Liu's mother saw that night. The only difference was that the woman in the painting was smiling slightly, vaguely showing her red teeth.

I hurriedly asked: "What task did she arrange for you? Just asked you to call and say something like 'Dream Club welcomes you'?" Of course I didn't believe that this mysterious woman arranged for Liu's mother to do this.

It was a simple task, and there must be something I didn't know about it. Sure enough, Mother Liu's face changed and she said, "She asked me to do many, many things, send letters to many people, and help the well."

Fill it with water."

I was stunned for a moment: "What well?"
