Chapter 7 Strange eyes

"That's right, Sister Lu." Bao Datong swallowed, "It's already dead, and being unable to let go of his obsession with his relatives is not only a harm to himself, but also a painful thing for the deceased."

"But he didn't leave, I could feel it. Every night, he stood in front of my window, but I just couldn't catch him! Even if I tried my best, I couldn't catch him." Lu Yan looked at her hand, looking annoyed and desperate, "He seemed to be in pain and couldn't say it. I knew he must be in trouble! I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't say it no matter what!"

"Sister Lu, do you think this is good? I will do a ritual for your husband to be able to save you without any fees. Your husband will definitely reach the other side safely, and you must be stronger, even for your baby." Bao Datong sympathized with Lu Yan very much, 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 Taoism and philosophy and has experienced storms, his personality has always been very enthusiastic and he has never been able to calmly deal with the misery and helplessness of the world. Although he is good at speaking, he can't think of anything now.

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

"Sister Lu, it is not appropriate to communicate between the Yin and Yang realms without special circumstances, otherwise the world will be in chaos. You should let it be easier."

Seeing that Bao Datong refused to help, Lu Yan's lips trembled a few times, widened her eyes and looked at him, as if she wanted to say something, but suddenly lowered her head and cried with her face. She cried so sadly, and tried her best to suppress herself, but she only made a heartbroken whimper, and her shoulders were shaking continuously.

Wanli always felt soft-hearted. Seeing this, he looked at Bao Datong. His eyes and Lu Yan's sadness were like a clip, which squeezed Bao Datong's heart sore and astringently. After a while, he finally sighed and reached out to pat Lu Yan's shoulder, "Sister Lu, don't be sad, I'll help you."

His words were like a spell, which made Lu Yan stop crying immediately, raised her tearful eyes and looked at Bao Datong, and said in surprise and joy, "Really? Mr. Bao, are you willing to help me?"

Bao Datong nodded, "Yes, I'll help you. But what I want to say is that I don't guarantee that I will succeed. Judging from the bleakness all over you, your husband may have passed away for a long time. If he has been reincarnated, then you can only face his future life with grief. If he is really as you said, he has been wandering around, I hope you don't feel unable to stand it when you see him, and don't force him to keep him. OK?"

When Lu Yan heard this, she nodded quickly and wiped the tears from her face hard, as if she had done this to ensure that she would obey the instructions.

"A man cannot be resurrected when he dies. When you and your husband meet, you will only feel sad. I will ask again, are you sure you want to meet him?"

"Yes, please make sure Mr. Bao."

"Don't regret it?"

"no way."

"Okay, now I'll send someone to send you home first." Bao Datong said seriously, "I guess your child is not old, and you mother and son live alone again. It's so late now that the child should not be left alone at home. When will you see it tomorrow? I will take my assistant to your house and then make the next plan. Is it OK?"

Lu Yan stood up with a little excited expression. Obviously, Bao Datong's guess was correct, which made her feel more convinced and grateful to Bao Datong. "Thank you Mr. Bao, I will go to work tomorrow, but I will go home at 6 o'clock in the evening. If you don't dislike me, please ask Mr. Bao to have a flat meal. At 7 o'clock, is it OK?"

"It's totally OK." Wanli replied before Bao Datong could speak.

He was afraid that Bao Datong would refuse the invitation to eat. Although Bao Datong might have good intentions, Lu Yan is currently mentally fragile. If she could do something for Bao Datong, she would be much better, so it was the best way to go to the appointment.

"Doctor Wan has the final say." Bao Datong also stood up, "Then please help Doctor Wan and take Sister Lu home."

"No, no trouble, I can leave by myself." Lu Yan was quite reserved.

Wanli looked out the window and there was no sign of a car, and there was not even a bicycle. He smiled affectionately, "Don't be polite, there are no buses now, so I'll give you it."

Liu Tiedao, who watched Wanli and Lu Yan walk out the door and have been eavesdropping, "Brother Wan is really a kind and understanding man."

"Aren't me?" Bao Datong glanced at him.

"Baobao is a charlatan." The naughty Ni Yang imitated the female guests tone and called Bao Datong, "Don't hit me, it was Brother Wan who said you are a charlatan. But then again, Brother Bao seems to be a bit good. How do you know that she lives alone and leaves her child alone at home? Can this be seen from the aura around her?"

"What's the energy around you!" Bao Datong rebuked, "As long as you are careful, you can see it from your appearance. Miss Lu's eyes were sad and lonely, and she seemed a little frightened. It was obvious that she was living alone. She said that her husband passed away and only had one child. Look at her young age, how old the child could be. And while talking to us, she looked at her statement twice, and it was obvious that she was worried about something. I also told you that she didn't wear a ring on her hand. If she guessed correctly, she probably did not officially marry her husband."

"Brother Bao is Sherlock Holmes." Ni Yang sincerely praised, "But Brother Bao, can you do it?"

"Sister Xiaoxia said that Brother Bao used illusion to make up people." Liu Tie said, "But that woman looks so pitiful, and I can't bear to refuse!"

Knowing that Liu Tie and Ni Yang don’t understand Ruan Zhan and his internal affairs, and knowing that it is not appropriate to let these two big boys understand. Bao Datong went down the road and said, “So, we should look at deception from a dialectical scientific view. Sometimes kind-hearted deception is necessary. If she can be comforted by the soul, deception is nothing bad.” Bao Datong said as he walked to the stairs, “But you two must remember that you never face your weakness. It is better to solve the problem yourself.”

After saying that, he quickly walked upstairs.

He had to recite Taoist scriptures several times because he violated his father's teachings and should not agree to help others communicate yin and yang. Taoism emphasizes taking it naturally, and there is nothing more natural in this world than life and death! His approach cannot better make Lu Yan forget it.

The next night, Bao Datong, Xiaoxia and Wanli came to Lu Yan's home together.

"How much floor does her house live?" Bao Datong tripped at her feet.

"She said she lives on the third floor."

"She said?"

"She didn't let me go upstairs yesterday." Wanli replied, and his head almost hit the bumpy debris that was bulging by the wall.

This is the urban-rural fringe, not close to the city. Except for the bungalows, most of them are three-story old-fashioned tube buildings. It was already midnight when he sent Lu Yan home last night, and there were no street lights here. Lu Yan carried a flashlight with him, so he did not ask him to send her to the door.

"I am a innocent woman with a child, of course I will not provoke you a lustful demon for no reason." Bao Datong smiled with a "card" smile, even though 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. On both sides of the long and dark corridor, there were only a little light coming from the cracks of the doors of a few households, and the rest were all pitch black. Although it was no longer raining tonight, the weather was very gloomy and there were no lights in the corridor, so the three of them were almost fumbled upstairs. I don’t know if it was because of the psychological effect of being in a strange dark environment, Xiao Xia always felt something was breathing slightly around.

"It's better than falling into the hands of your bar pet." Wan Li replied.

After finally getting to the third floor in the dark, I saw that there were even fewer residents here, and there were only three doors with lights. According to Lu Yan's previous instructions, they found the innermost household and found that there were stairs on one side of the building, which means that Lu Yan's house was a blind spot in this dark and long corridor.

At the opening of the door, Lu Yan opened the door with a little shyness.

"Welcome, please come in."

Xiaoxia nodded and rushed into the door before Bao Datong and Wanli. She felt a little uneasy and always felt a chill on her back. When she entered this bright room, the door was closed tightly behind her back, she felt relieved.

This is a small inner and outer room, decorated cleanly and simply. The table is full of hearty meals, but there is no bed, and it is obvious that the inner room is the bedroom.

"Sit as you like, the meal will start soon. I'll call the child out for you to see." Lu Yan laughed flatteringly, then opened the door and took the child out.

"This is my son, five years old, and he is called Xiaotong." She caressed the child's head lovingly, "Little Tong, call him uncle and aunt."

The child didn't say anything, but just reached out to pull the corner of his mother's clothes. Xiao Xia felt her heart was about to break when she saw the child.

This child is as thin and pale as his mother, but his facial features are very beautiful. On his delicate face, his thin black eyebrows, straight nose bridge, a perfectly curved mouth, and a big flashing eyes. His childishness and innocence are all so beautiful that it makes people love each other, and they can't tell whether the boy or girl is in front of him. He just feels like a little man in a cartoon.

But, this kid is in a wheelchair!

At this moment, Xiaoxia felt that the Creator was very cruel. How could he destroy such a beautiful and harmless thing!

"This child is not called a human being, I'm sorry, he's a little afraid of being a child." Lu Yan explained apologetically.

"It's okay, just get familiar with it." Xiao Xia quickly walked to the child with a smile and squatted down, "Little boy, right? Auntie brought you chocolate!"

Because she knew in advance that Lu Yan had a child and that the child had no father, Xiao Xia felt very sympathy for the mother and son and prepared candy in advance. But she didn't think that the mother and son were even more miserable than she thought. Such a cute child was actually disabled.

The little boy looked at the candy and then at his mother. After getting the affirmation, he took the candy timidly and smiled at Xiaoxia. In an instant, the innocent smile made Xiaoxia's heart melt, and he decided to help the mother and son.

The meal was eaten. Although Lu Yan and his son were both shy, fortunately, Bao Datong was very thick-skinned and Wanli was very good at speaking, so the host and guests were all happy. Perhaps this happy atmosphere also infected the little boy. The little boy seemed very happy and even picked up food for Xiaoxia. Wanli took care of Xiaoxia every time he took care of Xiaoxia, and tried his best to avoid making the woman who lost her husband sad.

After dinner, Xiaoxia insisted on helping Lu Yan wash dishes and asked what was going on with the little boy's legs.

"I was fine before the age of four, and I walked very fast!" Lu Yan covered the tears in his eyes. "One day I suddenly couldn't do it. In order to treat his legs, I sold all the houses. Over the past year, I went to major hospitals across the country, but I didn't find out what the disease was. The doctor said it might be neurotic or psychological reasons caused by emergencies. In short, he just couldn't leave now. I think, maybe one day, his legs would be the same as suddenly broken, and they would suddenly get better. Is it stupid, right? But I really don't know what to do!"

"Little boy - haven't you been to kindergarten or preschool?"

"He can't take care of himself and has no school to accept it." Lu Yan lowered her head.

"It will be fine, I will find a way to help you." Xiao Xia didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to comfort Lu Yan and quickly organize the dishes, "I'll go play with Xiaotong, you can talk to them about the serious matters."

Because of the child's illness, Lu Yan must be in financial difficulties and sold her house, so she had to rent it here. The environment here is quite bad, remote, dark, and especially unsafe. However, she was a woman with a child and had a low education. She only found a job as a supermarket plagiarist, and of course she had no money to live in a better place.

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

Although she is not a psychiatrist, she can also see that Xiao Chi is a bit autistic. No wonder he is so young, but he has to face loneliness and neglect, which must be very timid and painful. This reminds Xiao Xia of Ruan Zhan. He must be even more sad when he was a child. He is not only rejected by the double exclusion of the adult world and the children world, but also facing hatred and malice.

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

"Little boy, is it okay for aunt to tell you a story?" She walked over and hugged the little boy in her arms. Her soft body and the unique sweet fragrance on her toddler inspired Xiaoxia's motherhood. She hugged the little boy patiently and gently, telling one fairy tale after another that she knew. The Wanli and the others talked outside for as long as they talked outside.

"The little boy must be the third little pig. The house he built should be very strong, so that bad people will not be able to enter." She stroked the soft hair on the little boy's forehead and said gently.

"Yeah?"

A voice sounded in Xiaoxia's ears, the voice was very tender, but the tone was strange. Xiaoxia subconsciously turned her head and saw Xiaotong smiling at her.

That glance seemed like an ice cone pierced from the top of Xiao Xia's head to the soles of her feet, causing her heart to suddenly shrink!

The little boy is not a little boy anymore!

The face was still the face of the little boy, but the eyes changed. I couldn't tell what it had become. I just felt that the eyes were so incompatible with the little boy's cute little face. It was shaded, malicious, calculating, cunning, and worldly. It was the look that only adults had, and it was an adult with very deep scheming. He also brought wild animals to the excitement and bloodthirst after seeing the prey.

ah--

She screamed softly, instinctively pushed the child out of her arms, and threw him to the ground with a "slap".

At the same time, with a 'creak', the door behind him opened.

Xiaoxia took a breath and saw Lu Yan pounce on her back, "Little boy, why did she fall from the bed? Where did she fall?" She hurriedly picked up her son, checked up and down, looking frightened.

"What's wrong?" Wanli and Bao Datong also leaned into their heads from the door.

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