I'm very scared, damn it, there was no one around at that time.

I wanted to scream, but no sound came out of my throat.

The little girl approached, staring at me without blinking.

The strong sense of oppression made it hard for me to breathe.

This face...

Isn't it the same as the decayed corpse I saw in the daughter's cave?

Realizing this, I was directly scared unconscious.

The next day, miraculously, nothing happened, and my appetite improved. I ate a big bowl of wild mushroom soup.

That incident passed, and I treated it as just a nightmare.

Brave as a newborn calf, I played at Jidongsheng's house for several days.

After returning home, at first, nothing happened to me.

I had acne on my face, and from time to time, after finishing my homework at night, I would squeeze the acne in front of the mirror.

One night, around three in the morning, I don't know if it was an illusion, but I suddenly saw a short figure dressed in red flash by in the mirror...

After that, for a long time, I kept dreaming about that girl named Tang Xiaoxiao.

Recently, after looking in the mirror, I clearly felt a chill on my back, as if a cold wind had entered my body.

Since then, I've been in a daze, always feeling like I am Tang Xiaoxiao.

Everything I do to my mother is the pain she once inflicted on Tang Xiaoxiao.

Now her mouth has been sewn shut for three days, she has become thin to the point of skin and bones, weak with only a breath she refuses to swallow.

The night breeze is chilly. I sit numbly on the edge of the rooftop, swinging my feet outside.

This old dilapidated house has a total of five floors, and the cement road downstairs is somewhat damp.

Tang Xiaoxiao stands downstairs, looking up at me with fixed eyes.

She is still wearing red clothes, her face pale and expressionless.

"Brother, jump down and play with me."

If I jump, I'll die.

I still have some rationality in my mind, and I refuse her proposal in my heart.

"You are my brother, the only person in this world who loves me. Don't you want to accompany me? Wuu wuu wuu..."

Tang Xiaoxiao cried.

That crying voice was as distressing as scratching one's heart.

My back felt cold again, as if I lost consciousness for a brief moment, but soon my mind became clearer.

I looked down again.

Tang Xiaoxiao's figure was still there. She no longer pleaded with me, just stared at me with an eerie smile.

What's good about living in this world? I have to study and take care of my mother in the future.

My mother was relatively old when she got married, and now her health is very poor. Our family is so poor, and I still have to carry this burden.

I can't see any hope in life...

My nose tingled, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

Since there's no hope, why bother to live in this world?

"Xiaoxiao, brother is coming down to accompany you!"

I shouted downstairs and threw my whole body forward...
