The night is quiet, the clouds are hazy, revealing a crescent moon.

I walked up to Leizi: "Are you... okay?"

Lei Zi replied quietly: "Jiu Lizi, you go back first, I want to be alone and quiet!"

I know Leizi was very sad, and the blow to him was undoubtedly huge. In fact, even if Liu Wanying was a ghost, Leizi would not be so sad. The key is that Liu Wanying lied to Leizi. She approached Leizi and wanted Leizi's Yanghuo. This was the fatal injury to Leizi. Leizi liked Liu Wanying and didn't care whether she was a human or a ghost, but the person she loved wanted to take her life. It would be hard for anyone to put it on.

As a brother, how could I leave alone when I see Lei Zi’s mental state now?

I sighed and retreated outside the glutinous yard. Standing here would not affect Lei Zi, but could see his every move to avoid him from doing stupid things. Lei Zi had never devoted himself to such a deep feeling, and I was very worried that he would not be able to think about it for a moment.

All night, Lei Zi kept smoking cigarettes. He squatted on the ground motionlessly, squatting in the place where Liu Wanying disappeared, smoking one by one, smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, and the ground was covered with cigarette butts.

It was not until the sound of rooster crowing in the village that Leizi stood up, lowered his head, and walked out of the glutinous field in a daze.

Seeing Lei Zi's appearance, I felt very uncomfortable. The young man who was originally lively and cheerful now has become like a walking corpse.

Lei Zi looked up and saw me, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Jiu Lizi, you... haven't left yet?"

I shook my head: "No! I'm worried about an accident with you, so I've been here to stay with you!"

Leizi looked at me in a daze. After a while, he opened his arms and gave me a hug. He only said five words in just five words: "Thank you, brother!"

There is no need for thousands of words between men. A simple sentence or a hug is a deep brotherhood.

"Are you in a better mood?" I asked Leizi.

Lei Zi showed a difficult smile: "What do you think?"

I patted Leizi on the shoulder: "Just treat it as a dream. When we wake up from the dream, we have to face the sun in the new day!"

Lei Zi rubbed his swollen eyes: "I know, I will stand up again! But it may take a little more time!"

I nodded: "I understand! Let's go, let's go home!"

A ray of morning light ripples slightly in the sea of ​​clouds, and the mountains in the distance gradually appear in the fog.

I was very pleased. No matter what, Lei Zi finally saved his life.

On the way back, Lei Zi took the initiative to open his heart to me and mentioned his feelings: "My father ran away since he was a child. My mother wanted to work and support the family. She didn't have much time to take care of me. I didn't feel the warmth of home since I was a child. Later, I grew up and struggled in society, seeing all kinds of hypocritical faces. The cruel society made me even colder. I always thought I was an emotional person, but until I met Wanying, it was her who changed me..."

"Then do you blame me?" I asked.

Lei Zi smiled and said, "No! Why do I blame you? I should thank you, thank you for coming to save me without hesitation, and thank you for letting Wanying take the right path! I hope that after the cycle of reincarnation, she can become a happy girl!"

When he returned home, Lei Zi looked very haggard. He folded the red veil into a square, placed it under his pillow, and then closed his eyes tiredly.

Lei Zi is weak these days, and he is really tired, so let him have a good sleep. Maybe he can see Wanying in his dream!

After settling down, I left the bedroom and went to the mountain temple to report to Chen Xiucai what happened last night.

"Borrowing Yang?" Chen Xiucai touched his chin: "Well, it seems that Liu Wanying is really resentful. She does not hesitate to use this method to stay in the Yang world, wanting to seek justice for herself! Tsk tsk, you must know that if the underworld secretly knew that her behavior would destroy her to ashes and would never fall into reincarnation!"

I nodded: "Master, it seems that Liu Wanying's resentment is not dissipated, and it is indeed full of grievances! I remember when Liu Wanying left, she said that the cave in the back mountain was a bit strange, and the cause of her death was probably related to that cave!"

Chen Xiucai was carrying his hands on his back and forth in front of me: "Jiujizi, do you believe there are rumors about the girl from the fallen flower cave?"

I pursed my lips and replied, "To be honest, I don't believe it very much. I don't believe in any ridiculous rumors like the cave god!"

Chen Xiucai touched his beard and pondered: "Liu Wanying's death is definitely not as simple as it seems. She is not the first girl to be buried in a cave! I have lived in Shuiwa Village for seventy or eighty years. As far as I know, in Shuiwa Village alone, dozens of girls have been buried in a cave in the past few decades, becoming the girl from the fallen flower cave!"

I was slightly surprised: "That's really a human-eating cave!"

Chen Xiucai said: "No one knows what is hidden in the cave!"

I sighed: "After so many people have died in so many years, hasn't anyone ever seen it in the cave?"

"Of course somebody has been there!" Chen Xiucai looked up at me and said slowly: "But no one who entered was able to come out alive!"

"Ah?!" I couldn't help but exclaim: "Is that cave in the back mountain so evil?"

Chen Xiucai sat cross-legged and said, "I'll tell you a real thing! The western Hunan area is densely filled with streams, undulating peaks and continuous caves. In all dynasties, this place has been a weak area of ​​rule. In addition, the land is barren, natural disasters are frequent, and the economy and culture are very backward. Since the Song Dynasty, bandits in western Hunan have been in danger. Many bandit leaders took advantage of the dangerous mountains and rivers in western Hunan to seize control of the country, and became kings and domineering, setting fires, killing people in the dark moon, robbing families, raped and plundering, which brought endless disasters to the people of western Hunan.

Around 1950, the People's Liberation Army entered western Hunan and began a large-scale bandit suppression operation. The hilltops in our area were once where the People's Liberation Army and the bandits fought fiercely. You have also seen that chasing cemetery, where many unknown corpses were lying inside.

Having said that, in the winter of 1950, a PLA unit pursued a remnant bandit army and chased it to the cave in the back mountain. Although the bandits knew that the cave was very evil, they were already desperate at that time and were surrounded by the PLA. In order to survive, in a hurry, these bandits gritted their teeth and drilled into the cave in the back mountain!"
