The Urban Legends of Monsters: A small family portrait (Part 1)

A small family portrait

"This person tastes pretty good, and I will eat another one..."

Liu Di was curled up on the sofa while smacking his lips and talking in his sleep. Lin Rui grinned and tried not to let himself go to what the **** was the wolf eating in his dream—he found out that Liu Di and Huo’er said The content of the dream talk is sometimes very similar.

Lin Rui flipped through the homework in front of him after the ghost messenger finished his work. My mother is on a business trip, and the house seems to be an empty house. No one praises me for what I do, which is really boring.

"Ah...Xiao Rui, why did you let the dog go to the sofa!" With a hysterical bark, a middle-aged woman rushed over, waving a broom, raised her head above her head, and looked at Liu Di in a daze. hit down.

I gave Lin Rui a half-day class, and Liu Di was dozing off comfortably. Because Lin Rui had been away from home since he was a child, he had no chance to systematically learn the spells of the Nine-tailed Fox clan. After Lin Rui's biological father found him, he gave him The cultivation methods of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan were left behind, but they were left to Liu Di, who taught him selectively depending on Lin Rui's progress. The trust of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan in Liu Di was surprising, but it also added unnecessary trouble to Liu Di. Not only did Lin Rui not treat him like a teacher, but he always made trouble for him during lectures. , Every time I finish a lesson for this little fox, I'm more tired than fighting with Huo'er.

Liu Di was sleeping on the sofa of Lin Rui's house, waiting for the dinner time at Lou Zhouying's house. Of course, now he is a neighbor's dog who came back to play with Lin Rui.

Liu Di was sleeping in a daze. After being beaten up by a few brooms, he jumped up, bared his fangs at the middle-aged woman, and let out a low roar.

"What are you doing, Liu Di! She's my aunt!" Lin Rui pointed at Liu Di, warning with his eyes.

"I'm a dog now, you know? Of course a dog is beaten like this!" Liu Di replied sleepily. Lin Rui actually saw the woman beat him and couldn't stop him. He just wanted to be beaten on purpose, so now there is a chance to make Lin Rui anxious, he will not let it go.

The silent communication between them was interrupted by the woman's scream: "Xiao Rui, how did you bring the dog back, God, it bit me!"

Liu Di squatted down, curled his tail on his front legs, blinked at the middle-aged and hysterical woman and asked Lin Rui, "Will I be so tasteless?"

"Xiao Rui, you brought a mad dog back while your mother was away. I'm going to tell your mother and your teacher! Tell..."

Lin Rui's aunt is a good person. She usually takes care of her younger sister Lin Qingping, and she also loves Lin Rui very much. It's just that now maybe it's the relationship between menopause, and it's starting to become cloudy and uncertain, and it seems that he has contracted a cleanliness addiction. When he sees small animals, he will think of infectious diseases or something, and he will keep nagging. Lin Rui's mother asked her to come over to take care of the child during the few days of her business trip. Lin Rui was so rambled about by her that she couldn't take it anymore, and she found out more and more that her mother was good, and looked forward to Lin Qingping coming back soon.

Amidst her screams, Liu Di shrugged irrelevantly: "Is your aunt a little nervous?"

Lin Rui's brain was swollen, and he had to pretend to be a smiling face of a good child, and kept explaining and comforting. Seeing that Liu Di had climbed up on the sofa again and fell into sleep comfortably, Lin Rui angrily threw Liu Di. He kicked the ground to wake up: "It's lunch time, you should go to Zhou Ying's house, right? Why did you come to my house to stay?"

Liu Di replied forcefully and weakly: "Your mother asked Gui'er to watch you before going out. Gui'er and Huo'er went to participate in Quan Xian'er's ten-day underwater tour, so they asked me to watch you again." /

"I don't need you to look at me!" Lin Rui angrily yelled, it wasn't enough for my mother to find a wordy and energetic aunt, how could she have turned a corner and attracted this earth wolf. Wait a minute, Rose is going on a trip, which means that Zhou Ying is in charge of the upstairs now, which means... "You can't let me cook for you! I don't need your care, hurry up and find your flirtatious flowers. Let's go!" Lin Rui announced viciously at Liu Di.

"The problem is that I happened to be drunk that day, and I agreed to Gui'er casually." Liu Di blinked innocently and said, "The problem with Guan Jian is not whether you need me to see, but that I agree to other people's affairs. You can do it, do you think I'm as irresponsible as Rose, and I promise to go out to play again? What do you have for lunch? I refuse to eat without wine."

"It's good if you don't eat, I didn't intend to invite you!"

"Xiao Xiao, go and fry me a spicy chicken..." Liu Di ordered lazily.

There was no movement for a long time.

"Little, you are a good boy, don't imitate your uneducated master."

Still no movement.

Xiaoxiao is the youngest of Lin Rui's ghost messengers, and the only female ghost messenger. Lin Rui's other ghosts were like their masters, they were cunning and despised, and their relationship with Liu Di was especially bad. Only Xiaoxiao is a gentle child, always very well-behaved, and very polite to everyone. The monsters that Lin Rui knew, from Huo'er and Liu Di to Gui'er and Nan Yu, all liked this child. Liu Di has learned a lot of things in his life. He even knows how to practice ghost envoys. When teaching Lin Rui, he would casually point out this little guy. And he asked Xiaoxiao to do something, as long as Lin Rui did not object, Xiaoxiao would always serve Liu Di wholeheartedly. Today, Liu Di asked Xiaoxiao to help him cook, but who knows how many times, Xiaoxiao didn't move.

"Xiao Xiao went out, you don't have to waste your efforts."

"That's right, if you are such an adult, you will be so shameless."

"Fortunately, Xiao Xiao is not at home, otherwise he will be enslaved by him again."

"Master, drive him away, drive him away!"

These little ghost ambassadors have learned a lot from Liu Di's teachings since they were young, but this does not make them respect Liu Di any more. .

Liu Di frowned and said to Lin Rui, "Don't let the ghosts go out for a walk in the daytime, be careful to run into a cross, hmph, it will be too late for you to take revenge by then." This little fox relies too much on fire The power of my son is gone, and even his ghosts are like this. I don’t think about it. People can’t do anything to you. It’s always possible to kill your ghosts and fly away, right?

Lin Rui shook his head: "I'm happy, but you don't care."

Liu Di shrugged, got up and left.

When Liu Di disappeared, Lin Rui called out: "When did Xiaoxiao run out by himself? How many times have I told you, don't run out in broad daylight, what if something happens? Xiaoxiao is gone. Where? Who do you know?"

Several little ghosts shook their heads together: "She just said she went out to play, but she didn't say where she was, and most of the time she went to the cinema." Lin Rui usually doesn't forbid them to act without permission, so they don't take it seriously when they go out at will. . It's just that they usually go out together, but this time, Xiaoxiao just ran out by himself.

"Go and find her back... Forget it, Liu Di must have already found her. Huo'er and I have offended many monsters. You usually need to be careful. It's best not to go out alone during the day." Lin Rui sighed. At this time, his aunt asked him to help serve the dishes during the visit, and he put on a smile and jumped away.

The little ghost messengers make faces at each other, obviously they don't care at all - their master and Huo'er are both so powerful, they can walk sideways in Lixin City, they don't need to be afraid of anyone!

Lin Rui lazily got out of the quilt, and while ordering the ghost envoys to help him fold the quilt, he stretched his waist and walked to the bathroom. After the school's winter vacation, her mother, Lin Qingping, was sent by the school to study and inspect. After a week's visit, she called yesterday and said it would take three or four days to return. And Lin Rui had nothing to do, even the winter vacation homework was left to the ghost envoys to complete. He was busy messing around with Huo'er all day, eating, drinking, and having fun. I played with Zhou Ying's taxi all night last night, and this morning I felt like I was lying in bed and didn't want to wake up.

"Xiao Yao went to go to breakfast, Er Xiao folded the quilt and went to Huo'er to get me the game CD, San Zi you go... Xiao Si go... Xiao Xiao you go... Hey, Xiao Xiao? "Lin Rui ordered the ghost messengers to do things one by one, but when he got to the last one, he didn't see her shadow.

The other ghosts shook their heads, indicating they didn't see it.

Xiaoxiao didn't come back until late at night yesterday. At that time, Lin Rui said a few words to her, and she was about to start wiping her tears.

The ghost envoy and the master are bound by a contract. According to the general situation, the ghost envoy cannot act at will without the master's order, and cannot even leave the master's side within a certain range. However, Lin Rui gave his ghost envoy a long time ago. They lifted this prohibition, allowing them to come and go freely. So now that the little ghost envoy named is not around, Lin Rui can't say where she will go.

"Do you know when Xiao Xiao went out?"

The other ghosts answered in a snarky voice: "I saw her last night."

"Nonsense, she didn't come back until evening."

"Yes, yes, the master is still scolding her."

"Later, she secretly wiped away her tears. Girls just like to cry."

"And later... and later, is she still there?"

"Yeah, when did she disappear? I don't remember seeing her since I woke up in the morning."

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen her since I got up."

"It's not that I'm embarrassed to ask me to buy her a toy that I like when I see it, and I can't bear to leave when I see it there?" Lin Rui frowned and said to himself.

The ghost made him run out by himself, and he had to do it again and again. Lin Rui began to worry a little. After all, according to his little skill, it would be fine to follow him and Huo'er. He would just go out and find a little monster It can make her go crazy. Lin Rui thought for a while, and chanted the incantation to summon the ghosts. As his voice fell, five clouds of black smoke rose in front of his eyes. After the smoke dissipated, it transformed into five ghosts. The four ghost envoys who were busy working for Lin Rui in the house just moved a bit, but the fifth ghost envoy stared blankly, and it took a long time to react: "Master, did you call me?"

"Where have you gone?" Lin Rui asked with a frown, "It's almost the New Year's Eve, be careful of being caught by some monsters to make New Year's gifts."

Xiao Xiao murmured for a long time before he could squeeze out a sentence: "I, I just strolled around..."

"I can't even tell a lie, it's not like the ghost I raised!" Lin Rui reprimanded her angrily.

Xiaoxiao was still the same as last night, she didn't say a word, shriveled her mouth and pulled her face, looking like she was about to cry.

"Do you care about something? It doesn't matter, you can tell me and I'll buy it for you. If I can't afford it, I'll ask Ligong to steal it." Lin Rui thought that Xiaoxiao was probably looking for something cute. Toys and the like, it's a big deal to buy her back, and burn it to her, lest she be so obsessed with it.

"The master is partial to death."

"That's right, master, it's not fair, why only give gifts to Xiao Xiao."

"Reporting to the master, I also fancy a toy, which can be bought for only 2,000 yuan."

Hearing that Lin Rui was going to give Xiaoxiao a gift, the other ghosts got angry and rushed over to hug Lin Rui and made all kinds of excessive demands.

"Go, go, you guys always use my name to look for things to grab for you, thinking that I really don't know! Xiaoxiao is more honest and never asks too much. It is rare for me to give it away What she ordered, you come to mix it up again... Xiaoxiao, don't pay attention to them, I will only give you one, tell me!"

Xiaoxiao murmured for a long time without saying anything, just looked at him timidly, and said, "I...I don't want anything..."

"Then I'll choose a New Year's gift for you myself - don't run around! Do your homework for me today, and make sure you imitate it a little bit!"

Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Rui jumping out of the window and flying upstairs, the tears that had been bred in her eyes for a long time finally fell...

Lin Rui sits on Huo'er's back and slowly spins around the city. The two of them haven't planned to have fun today, which means they haven't yet chosen the victim who will be the target of their teasing. The combination of the two of them is notorious in Lixin City, and now it has reached the point where the monsters will run away when they see the two of them together, and they will not even be lucky.

"Why didn't you see a single monster..." Huo'er muttered a little bored.

They still don't know that the monsters in Lixin City have spontaneously united under their obscenity to form an underground organization similar to an intelligence network. If one party has information, it will immediately spread to every person in the city according to certain procedures. In a corner, when the monsters living in Taohuayuan Community sent out the news that "Huo'er and Lin Rui are out", the monsters in the whole city knew in a few minutes. Can hide and hide, the Chinese New Year is almost here, who wants to recruit the two of them to cause bad luck?

"It's so boring..."

"Yes!"

"Fox, are your family's New Year's goods ready?" Huo'er asked Lin Rui with a new idea, rolling his eyes.

"It's all set, there are only two people in my family, and I don't need much things." How could Lin Rui not know what it was thinking, so he answered immediately. Even if the family's New Year's goods are not complete, he does not want to add items such as monster spare ribs to it.

Huo'er said to herself: "My refrigerator is only full of four, and there are four empty..."

Lin Rui pretended not to hear.

"Hey, I said my refrigerator..." Huo'er grabbed him angrily and shouted. In Huo'er's mind, New Year's goods are equal to food, the food that Huo'er likes to eat, and it is equal to collecting a lot of food that Huo'er likes to eat and eating them all during the New Year. It’s only a few days before the new year, but Rose ran out to play, and Zhou Ying was busy with work again, saying that the taxi business was very good during this time, so the burden of collecting the New Year’s goods fell on the shoulders of Huo’er, a minor superior. "The time is tight and the task is heavy..." There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. If you want to complete the predetermined plan, you have to work hard from now on! Thinking like this, Huo'er decided the next step: "Let's go to Lujiu's pig farm first, and then..."

Alas...why is this, there is no innovation at all...

Lin Rui sighed, but still decided to follow Huo'er. First, because he did not come up with a new trick-or-treating plan; second, because following the fire, he could find new trick-or-treating targets at any time.

As soon as she turned around, Huo'er asked, "Where is Xiaoxiao going? Did you let her hide something delicious?" In the past few days, Zhou Ying's chef has made Huo'er, who is not picky about food, right. Other people's food is particularly sensitive.

"I can let her hide something... wait, who are you talking about?"

"Little one, your little one."

"Where is she?" Lin Rui looked around. She clearly told her to do her winter vacation homework at home, why did she run out again? This child is becoming more and more disobedient. He must have gotten too close to Liu Di and was ruined by him!

"It seems to have gone there." Huo'er pointed with a wing to a construction site not far away.

The construction site is full of various messy building materials, and Lin Rui's small stature walks in it, quite a bit like going over mountains and mountains. Lin Rui was walking high and low among the various building materials, and while looking around, he saw that people on the construction site were busy, but no small figures were seen. When the workers on the construction site saw such a child, they were kind enough to say, "The child is playing, do you know it's dangerous here!" Most of them turned a blind eye to him.

Lin Rui walked around the construction site, but not only did he not find any suspicious people or things, but also did not see a small shadow.

"She's been out these days, isn't she going to this kind of place? There's nothing good-looking or fun." Thinking of her petty temperament, Lin Rui judged in her heart, not knowing what was on the other side of the construction site. Place, Xiaoxiao should go there, right?

Just as Lin Rui was about to walk forward across the construction site, a worker yelled at him: "Little thing, what are you running around! Get out now, or I'll beat you up!" Some nearby children often sneaked to the construction site Playing around, not only will they take away the steel on the construction site and the like to exchange money, but if there is a mistake and fall, their parents will come to the construction site to make a lot of noise, so some people on the construction site see their children. Drive away viciously, in order to scare away these little troublemakers.

The worker gave Lin Rui a ferocious look and shouted a few words. Seeing that the little boy was frightened away, he lowered his head and continued his work. It was not all because he intentionally bullied the children that Lin Rui was driven out. It was also because all kinds of materials and machinery were piled up in disorder on the construction site, which was too dangerous for children. It was better to drive him out.

Seeing that this child is about the same age as his own son, I don't know if that child is obedient at home and is he studying well? I haven’t been home for more than half a year, and I don’t know if I can get my wages smoothly at the end of this year, and go home for a year of reunion and prosperity...

This worker walked with a cart in his hand, stumbled on his feet, and the cart rolled onto the sand pile with the cart, and his nose hit a brick, causing blood to flow. He hurriedly squeezed it with his hands and raised his head to stop the bleeding. He thought that he accidentally stumbled because he was thinking about something while pushing the cart, but he didn't know that the little boy he had driven away just now was a narrow-minded and vindictive character. It was the boy who taught him a little lesson because he dared to frighten himself fiercely.

When the worker covered his nose and raised his head to the sky with a funny look, he faintly heard a childish voice say in his ear: "It deserves it!"

He thought that the child had come back just now, so he looked around, but except for a few co-workers who rushed over to express their concern, he saw no one.

This worker was slightly injured. It was a blessing in disguise. The foreman mercifully allowed him to rest for a while. Recently, he has been rushing to work day and night, only sleeping three or four hours a day, and doing heavy physical work. , even the hard-hitting people can't stand it. He returned to the workshop, plugged his nose with toilet paper, and fell asleep.

A small shadow looked at him and quietly transformed into a dream in his dream.

But the man turned over and muttered a few words in a dream, and the dream dissipated.

The little guy didn't give up and created a more realistic dream.

This time the man made a sound similar to a moan, but he soon regained his composure, and a thunderous snoring sounded again.

"Bad..." The little guy shouted angrily.

When Lin Rui came to the shed, what he saw was Xiaoxiao who was trying to move the simple dormitory to support Rose on the steel plate. If Lin Rui came a little later, the whole roof would collapse, killing the worker. pressed inside. Since such a simple roof will not crush people to death, it is unavoidable to be injured and broken.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?" Lin Rui scolded angrily.

He usually seldom let these ghosts do things that hurt others. First, because they had done a lot of things like hurting people and killing people in the hands of their original owners, and they were too aggressive. Sheng, Lin Rui thinks about them and can't increase their debts any more; secondly, they are just ghosts made at an age that doesn't care about the world and doesn't argue, and Lin Rui doesn't want them to get used to violence. Solve the problem. Therefore, any kind of things like knocking a sap, making plots, killing people, destroying corpses and destroying traces... are all done by him, the master, and Huo'er.

Who would have thought so much for their growth, and now seeing Xiaoxiao doing this kind of harming innocent thing, why is he not angry?

Xiao Xiao saw that it was Lin Rui, with a frightened look on his face, he turned and ran away, Lin Rui squinted at her, and when she ran out of the distance, he pinched his fingers, and he said something in his mouth, effortlessly. He took her back - even if a ghost envoy ran to the ends of the earth, the owner wanted to recall it, it was only a blink of an eye.

Xiaoxiao was lifted by Lin Rui in his hands, looking at Lin Rui's livid face and Lin Rui's shoulders, he closed his eyes in fright.

"Three tribunals, tribunals..."

"What is the Trial Tribunal?"

"It's just three parties to try together, Master, Huo'er and us."

"We are obviously four, so it should be called a six-chapel tribunal!"

"Okay, stop arguing, Xiaoxiao, what did you do wrong? The master is so angry!" The youngest and youngest among the ghosts came out to maintain order, "Little Si, just go out with the master, you say."

"I don't know, it must be a very bad thing anyway!"

"Yes, yes, she must have done something very bad and bad. Usually, the owner is the most partial to her. When I quarrel, I only scold us and not her."

"That's because you always bully others, so of course the master will scold you!"

"Now what?"

"She has done bad things, so I will scold her!"

"Great, hey... Now I'm mentally balanced!"

"You're a bad boy, even the little ones cry and gloat."

…

Lin Rui walked around the room with his hands behind his back, with a stern look on his face, Huo'er stood on his shoulders, shaking his head with white wings as he walked. A few ghosts were floating on the roof or sitting on the chandelier, chattering and scratching their heads. Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa in front of Lin Rui and shrank to wipe away her tears.

Lin Rui turned around a few times and then stopped and stared at her: "Tell me, why are you hurting people? I'll slap your **** if you cry again!"

"Wow..." Little cried loudly, rolling on the sofa while crying.

Lin Rui started spinning in circles again, turning around and asking her again, but she was still rolling and crying.

Finally, after Lin Rui asked a hundred times, Xiao Xiaocai spit out a sentence: "I don't do it, I'm angry, I hate him... wow..."

"You can't hurt people if you hate him! How do I usually teach you to be patient with mortals, don't let your hostility aggravate, don't aggravate your sins, so that I can help you resolve your body. Killing evil and cursing, in the hope that one day in the future, I can send you to reincarnate and be reincarnated - you don't want to be a ghost all the time, and you will be scattered after I die!"

"Master... will not die... Master will, yes, will be a fairy in the future..." Xiaoxiao retorted.

Lin Rui waved his hand: "Only Zhou Ying wants to become a fairy! It's so easy to become a fairy? I don't think about that! Don't interrupt me, tell the truth!"

"The master doesn't want to. If the master wants to, he must be better than that Zhou Ying, and he can become an immortal in one fell swoop." said Xiao Tiantian.

"Who do you think is better than Ying!" Huo'er asked with squinted eyes. She was emboldened to say that in front of her face! No one in Lixin City dares to speak like that!

"Huo'er, go away first, don't make trouble for me! It's useless for you to flatter me, Xiaoxiao, tell me honestly, why did you hurt that worker? You're not afraid of accidentally smashing him to death?"

"He..." Xiao Xiao saw that he couldn't get over it. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the circles of his eyes turned red again and he choked a few times before crying again, "Wow... I hate him... I just want to teach him a lesson!"

"Little, if you don't tell the truth, I will ask you to serve Huo'er every day from tomorrow!" Lin Rui was really angry, slapped the table heavily, and shouted loudly.

Although Huo'er and Lin Rui are good friends, they don't cherish the good qualities of these little ghost messengers. Huo'er, who usually takes bullying the weak as one of his hobbies, as long as he sees a few little ghost messengers, he will It's a trick to tease them, and the flames on it are extremely painful for these little ghosts, even if they just touch them. They can't beat them, and they can't hide. Suffering all over. Usually, Lin Rui is quite considerate of them, and tries to keep them away from Huo'er. If he is actually sent to follow Huo'er for 24 hours, and he has offended him just now by talking, why not let him be tossed to death? Xiao Xiao Ma's face changed greatly, and he begged for mercy loudly: "No, master, no, I don't want to follow it... I, I'll just tell you..."

The fire added to the fire: "What do you mean, you said you don't follow me! What's wrong with me?" Really, this little guy is not likable at all!

Xiaoxiao was frightened by Huo'er and ran into Lin Rui's pocket.

Lin Rui didn't immediately stop Huo'er from threatening her, but instead pulled Xiaoxiao out of her pocket and stared at it.

Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Rui and Huo'er, and dawdled for a while in dejection before whispering, "Because there is no me in that family photo..."

"What?" Lin Rui narrowed his eyes.

"He, he didn't even put my photos in, he just thought about boys..." The more she said, the more aggrieved, she burst into tears.

Lin Rui frowned and said, "Could it be... is he your relative? Is... your father?"

Ghost envoys are all "made" from human children. Before these children died, of course there were parents, mothers and family members, but the sea of ​​people was so vast that Lin Rui never thought that without deliberately looking for them, They can still meet.

Xiao Xiao's tears were dripping down, as if aggrieved: "He only likes boys, he still only likes boys, he doesn't care if he sells me..."

Seeing that she was crying pitifully, Lin Rui put away that cold face and coaxed her in a good voice. Finally, in the little vague description, he could roughly understand the ins and outs of what happened.

Xiao Xiao was born while she was alive, in a remote village. She is the second child in the family, and she has a sister who is four years older than her. Since she is a "girl", from the moment she was born, she was destined to be unloved by her elders. She was always scolded by her mother, grandfather and grandmother for "losing money", "dead girl", etc. Big, but her father and sister were wrong to her.

Her older sister, who is four years older than her, has anything delicious and fun, so she secretly left it to her. My father works in another place. Although he only comes back once or twice a year, he always brings some toys, food, etc. that are not available in the countryside. Give it to her and make her feel like she's a good face in front of the neighborhood kids. Young children still don't understand the meaning of happiness, but for her, most of the memories left in her short life are happy memories.

Xiaoxiao was eagerly looking forward to her father's return as usual before the New Year at the age of six. Every day I count the days with my fingers, thinking over and over in my heart what gifts my father will bring this year. But on the fourth day before the new year, when his father finally came back, what he brought to Xiaoxiao was the **** of death.

The man who came back with his father was a middle-aged man. As soon as he stepped in the door, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Xiao, who rushed out to welcome his father. The burning eyes made Xiao Xiao's heart tremble, and he wanted to hide in his father's arms. go inside.

The arrival of a strange man made this farmhouse a lot of noise. From the moment he entered the door, his parents were arguing loudly, his sister was crying, his grandmother was making noise, and the courtyard was a mess. It's the ignorant Xiaoxiao, who also realized what happened, hugged the toy that her father bought for her, and hid in a corner and dared not come out. However, no matter how she hid, unfortunately she was finally caught out. Early the next morning, her father told her to give her to that strange man and live a good life in the city.

From the few words that Xiao Xiao could remember, Lin Rui analyzed that this might be the case.

At that time, the little mother was pregnant again, and already had two children. They wanted a boy wholeheartedly. In order not to violate the family planning policy, in order not to be forced to abort, they decided to give up one of their daughters. Originally, what they decided to sell was probably the eldest daughter, but the middle-aged man saw Xiao Xiao, who was more suitable for making ghosts, so he doubled his bid and insisted on buying her. Although the little parents did not love their daughters, under the double attack of longing for the boy's inheritance and the man's almost astronomical sum of money for the countrymen, they finally gave the little one the next morning. into the hands of the man.

Xiaoxiao took nothing from the house except the toy in her hand, was dragged by the man while crying, and left the house forever.

A few days later, on the day before New Year's Eve, Xiao Xiao was killed by the man with extremely cruel means, and then he was made into a tool to help the emperor to do evil, helping the man to do many evil things matter.

During the days when he was controlled by that person, Xiao Xiao had forgotten the past because of the hatred caused by being killed, but since their little devils got their freedom, After Lin Rui became their new master, a peaceful life, a peaceful state of mind, and the correct cultivation method that Lin Rui asked for from Nan Yu, facilitated them to slowly get rid of the violent and bloodthirsty state, and their minds and psychology recovered. normal. Except for Xiao Si, who did not dare to face the pain of death again, Lin Rui took the initiative to seal his memory, and the other little ghost ambassadors already remembered the past.

Xiao Yao was an orphan. He couldn't stand the life in the orphanage and ran out, but was coerced into a thief group. Finally, he was "picked" by the man on the street, forcibly taken away and killed, and turned into a ghost. .

The second child is a child of a single-parent family. Ever since his parents divorced, he has been kicked around as a ball in both houses. I don't know whether his parents are worried or glad to have gotten rid of the burden after he disappeared.

The other three sons of the ghost messenger are children of ordinary people. Their parents are ordinary workers. They live a normal and happy life. They are all on the way to school one day. Now, his parents should still be looking for him, miss him, right? Lin Rui once wanted to ask Liu Di or Zhou Ying to take him back to his hometown - a small town far away to see his family, but Xiao San couldn't find the courage to go back, and in the end he just asked a clever monster to euphemistically bring their family. The child has suffered unfortunate news.

Everyone knew about her small life before, but she had never heard her talk in such detail before, nor did she expect that she would meet her father in Lixin City. The world is really too small.

"I hate him, I hate him... He doesn't have me in his family portrait!" Xiaoxiao was rolling and crying on the sofa, and the other ghosts were filled with righteous indignation and geared up: "It's too much to put myself The child of the child sells the material to others as a ghost, not a human!"

"Shit!"

"You will feel better if you teach him a lesson!"

"Don't cry, Xiaoxiao, we'll take care of him for you. Tell me what you want to do with him!"

They have been together for several days and have had the same experience. They have deep feelings for each other, especially Xiaoxiao. Everyone regards her as a little sister. When they heard her grievance, they all jumped out and prepared to give her to her. Out of anger, all kinds of vicious methods trained by that man were accidentally revealed one by one. Several little heads gathered together very seriously, discussing whether to peel the skin or light the sky lantern.

Huo'er was very interested in this kind of discussion, and suggested enthusiastically: "I tell you, if you want to bake a whole person into a perfect seven mature, the heat is very difficult to control..." /

"Shut up!" Lin Rui reprimanded viciously, "What I said is not on my ears, right? One by one, they are becoming less and less obedient, and they are not taking me seriously, right? Go and go. Go, let me practice, otherwise I will send you all to Huo'er as ghosts, see if you dare to be so unruly!"

The ghost envoys disappeared immediately, and they all turned into smoke, and they all disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Huo'er rattled her mouth: "Don't you always use me to scare them? I don't want such a troublesome and useless thing. Hey, Xiaoxiao, where is the person you said? I'm going to bake and eat it now... no, it's better to keep it in the refrigerator for New Year's goods."

Lin Rui grabbed Huo'er's tail feathers, which had grown very long recently (Huo'er grows very slowly, but his tail grows very fast, every time he will peck off those long feathers by himself, Ask Nan Yu or Zhou Ying to make all kinds of bizarre and extremely dangerous magic weapons... or should they be called... toys?), and easily grabbed it back: "A set of cartoon VCDs, you don't care about little dad's matter.”

Huo'er blinked: "Add ten storybooks and the deal!"

Lin Rui made a deal with it.

So Huo'er went to rummage through Lin Rui's bookcase to choose which books he wanted to take away.

"Xiaoxiao, come here." Lin Rui waved to Xiaoxiao and took her in his hand, "I'll go see that person with you."

Xiao Xiao wiped away her tears and stood looking at him. In fact, the ghost's tears were nothing but mist that looked like water vapor, leaving no trace on his face after crying.

"Xiao Xiao, are you always sneaking there these days?"

"Yeah. That day, the master asked me to deliver something to the South Daoist. I passed by and happened to see him," Xiaoxiao said resentfully.

From then on, everything in the past suddenly became so clear that she couldn't help but want to come and see him. Even though she resented that this man sold herself to the devil, she couldn't help but want to see him.

It's just that every time I come here, I see the photo frame that he put on the bedside, and the family photo inside. It should be taken on New Year's Day. Grandpa didn't appear in the photo. It can be predicted that he is no longer alive. Grandma is a lot older, but she is still in good spirits, and her cheeks are flushed. Mother has a lot of white hair on her head and many wrinkles on her face. My sister has grown taller and more beautiful, her eyes are bright and bright, and there is a badge of three good student uniforms on her clothes. The father hugged a boy sitting on his lap with a smile on his face. The boy was about the same age as Xiao Xiao (Xiao's age is always fixed at six years old, and unless she succeeds in cultivation one day, it will not change again) , with a big head, holding a new toy in his hand, and smiling brightly like the sun.

The family happily wore new clothes, took pictures in the renovated yard, bought New Year's goods hanging in the door of the house, and ran around with chickens and ducks. But on the occasion of the New Year, he was sold to a demon who was about to kill him. He was forcibly dragged, turned back three steps, and left there crying loudly. Those toys, which should have been sold to him by Dad, were now held by a boy.

Everything was taken away from me, just because my dad wanted a boy, so he sold himself.

Thinking of these Xiaoxiao can't help but hate him, can't help but hate him, every time she comes, she will stay in front of the photo for a long time, and then there will be all kinds of terrible thoughts about this person in her mind .

Lin Rui looked at this photo, looked at Xiaoxiao, and sighed for a long time - it's the same with any child, seeing the happiness of the whole family in exchange for his abandonment and brutal death, no If you are angry, you are sick without resentment. If you encounter this kind of thing, you promise not to tear down the ceiling like Xiao Xiao - he will simply push the ten-story building next to the house and smash it on this to the devil. On the person who betrayed his own daughter.

And now, the man is sitting on the bed, smoking a cigarette and looking at the photos, with a look of happiness and contentment on his face.

Lin Rui said to Xiao Xiaoxiao: "Tell me, how do you want to teach him a lesson? Peeling the skin and cramping the frying pan? I'll do it!" The last words were squeezed out of his teeth. He hated himself the most. People who don't treat children well.

Xiaoxiao choked a few times and said intermittently: "I, I hate him, I hate, hate this photo! I, I want him to put me in too... I want to go up, I want a family portrait... …”

Lin Rui sighed, this is not a difficult request, but the problem is...

Lin Rui stretched out his hand and brushed over the family portrait. In the original photo of only five people, the figure of a little girl gradually emerged. In front of the knee of the father who was holding his son, a little girl in red, holding a teddy bear in her hand, was standing there smiling, with one hand on her father's knee, her face raised, her eyes eager He looked at his father, as if he was going to say something to his father.

Xiaoxiao nodded happily, but in a blink of an eye, she was stunned at the photo again, and tears began to roll in her eyes again.

At this moment, there is a toy bear that is exactly the same as the picture in her hand.

Originally, in order to make them happy, Lin Rui used Huo'er's spirit to burn a lot of toys and clothes for them. Xiao Xiao's favorite was this bear, and he immediately took it as his own. Other partners touched it. When she touches her, she has to make trouble for a long time. She once said that this bear is exactly the same as the bear that her father bought for her, so just now, Lin Rui put this little bear in the photo.

Xiaoxiao sat on his father's bed with the bear in his arms, looking at the "fake" photo with a contented expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lin Rui knew that she had no intention of "teaching" the father who sold his daughter, so he quietly left, leaving Xiao Xiao alone in a daze.

Lin Rui thought that this matter was over, and it was resolved. She went back to do her homework and play. He would not ask Xiaoxiao if he didn't come back. He naively thought that Xiaoxiao was a ghost anyway, and she understood it very well. I can't go back to my past life. After these days, her nostalgia for the past will be fine.

Who knew that the day wasn't over yet, Lin Rui was playing with Huo'er at Zhou Ying's house while his aunt was cooking dinner for him--Gui'er had just returned from the bottom of the sea with a lot of strange gifts and never-before-seen gifts. The ugly sea fish she had seen was said to be caught from the bottom of the ocean trench. Now she was about to try to make today's main dish with these materials that she had never used before, while Huo'er and Lin Rui were patiently waiting to taste it.

At this time, Xiaoxiao rushed in crying: "Master...he bullied me, he burned my photo...Master...I hate him...Master...he bullied me..."

She threw herself into Lin Rui's arms and cried so hard that even Rose ran out of the kitchen to see what happened.

Lin Rui couldn't stop the small cry no matter how comforted it was, until Huo'er couldn't take it anymore and shouted: "It's too noisy, cry again, and cry again and I'll burn you!" She stopped crying and shrank behind Lin Rui. Although she was still choking, she didn't dare to make a big move.

"Humph!" Huo'er hugged her wings, lying on the sofa and asked, "Tell me, who bullied you? I'll vent your anger, fry, fry, fry, and bake, you can choose whatever you want."

The ghost envoy is Lin Rui's thing. Bullying them means looking down on Lin Rui, and Lin Rui is Huo'er's good friend. Looking down on Lin Rui is equivalent to looking down on it. There are monsters in Lixin City who dare to look down on Huo'er. , that's great! If we don't stifle such bad signs in the cradle in time, who will take the word "rules" seriously in the future? This is simply a major event that will destroy the stability and unity of the society, it is simply trying to destroy the development of a harmonious society and the progress of spiritual civilization. Immediately pull out that daring monster and put it on the barbecue.

Just when Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, she only heard Rose in the kitchen calling: "Huo'er, Lin Rui, come in and help set the dishes!"

Huo'er immediately threw the little things out of Jiuxiaoyun, shouting: "You can leave it all to me, the fox won't eat at our house!" He rushed into the kitchen at the speed of light, and then a wall of fire blocked the living room Between the kitchen and the kitchen, there is a lot that Lin Rui doesn't even think about going in if he doesn't eat enough money.

Lin Rui pouted and said to Xiao Xiaoxiao in the cry of Gui'er, "Huo'er, you're actually standing in a pot to eat!" What's wrong?"

Xiaoxiao was frightened by the fire and the tears flowed again, sobbing: "Master... he... he, that photo, my family photo was burned by him... wow... Give it back, give it back to me...wow..."

It turned out that in the evening, the workers went back to the shed one after another to eat and take a breath, and the little father, as usual, glanced at the family portrait on the side of his bed while eating, and he fainted, which shocked him. Lost in color, the lunch box in his hand fell to the ground - there is one more person in the photo ~IndoMTL.com~! Looking at the little girl who smiled and looked at him in the picture, his body and mind seemed to fall into an ice cave. There are several people in this photo, and what attitude they are, he is very clear and clear, why? Will there be an unprovoked addition of someone who has been missing from their lives for years? Photos are not pictures, how could there be more people casually?

With trembling hands, he took the photo out of the frame and wiped it a few times. The extra child was still firmly on it, with no intention of being wiped away.

How could this be?

How could this be!

How could...

The man struck the match with his shaking hand several times before lighting a cigarette. While smoking, countless messy thoughts began to flow in my mind. All kinds of ghost legends, all kinds of stories of revenge of wronged souls that he had heard since he was a child kept spinning in his mind like a lantern.

After smoking half a pack of cigarettes one by one, the man turned his heart away, picked up a match, and lit the photo. Until the small photo was turned into ashes, he still worried about it. The ashes were trampled and crushed until the last shreds of ash powder in the photo disappeared in the wind. The co-workers around him were puzzled by his strange behavior and stepped forward to ask questions. The man just went back to smoking and said nothing.

And Xiao Xiao, who watched all this next to him, couldn't help but burst into tears.

She finally got a family portrait of her own, but she only saw her father burn for half a day. She told her how could she not be sad and wronged, and immediately ran back to Lin Rui crying.
