I was late to the back mountain that day.

My mom's hat was on the field path, but she was nowhere to be seen.

It turned out that she hid because she saw Xu Shuo.

It wasn't until she saw me crying in the reeds that she came out to ask what was wrong.

I had injuries, and she thought it was Zhang Xin bullying me again.

After my mom went to jail, my identity at school changed from "the daughter of a lunatic" to "the daughter of a murderer."

The person in the class who disliked me the most was Zhang Xin.

But she didn't do anything particularly excessive; others talked behind my back, while she said it to my face.

She would occasionally hit me and slap me.

Later, after my dad died, she became even worse.

But this summer, my mom was released, and Zhang Xin didn't dare hit me anymore.

I didn't want to cause trouble, so I never mentioned it to my mom, but for some reason, my mom still found out about it.

But this time, the person bullying me wasn't Zhang Xin; it was Xu Shuo.

If my mom found out about this, she would definitely confront Xu Shuo. Once the matter spread, Xu Shuo would be fine, but I might not be able to continue school.

That night, I came down with a high fever.

Mom invited a shaman to calm my spirit.

She said it was my dad's ghost haunting me.

Thinking about my dad, I remembered that the day he died, it was Xu Shuo's father who brought his body back.

Xu Shuo's grandfather was the most respected person in the village, and his father was also well-regarded.

Since his father said my dad died accidentally, no one would doubt it.

The next day, my fever went down.

Mom told me to rest for a day.

But I still went out because Xu Shuo called me, saying he took a lot of photos of what happened yesterday. He said he liked me a lot and would see me again. If I behaved, no one else would see the photos.

I went to his house to get the photos back.

What I didn't know was that before I left, my mom told my brother to keep an eye on me.

When I went out, my brother didn't dare call me but secretly followed me.

So when Xu Shuo and I were arguing, my brother saw him push me down the stairs.

Fortunately, his house wasn't very tall, and I didn't die at that moment.

Bleeding, I still managed to take my brother home.

But I collapsed just at the doorstep.

This time, I didn't wake up again.

My brother stood there screaming incessantly, "Sister, open your eyes! Sister, open your eyes! Sister, open your eyes!"

Mom didn't know how I died.

My brother couldn't explain clearly either; he just intermittently mentioned the names Xu Shuo and Zhang Xin.

Mom always thought I was bullied by them and chose to commit suicide.

She held my body and gave me a bath.

Mom kissed me. Her hands were wet, and she pried open my closed eyes. She said one sentence to me.

"None of those who harmed you will escape; Mom hopes you can see."
