Chapter 53

  Then people saw an even more unbelievable scene!

  The two who were thrown out danced in mid-air with their hands and feet and let out a miserable cry.

  The middle-aged man screamed like a woman, thinking he was going to be smashed to death, and hugged an electric pole... If there wasn't an iron ring under his feet, he would probably fall off the electric pole because of instability.

  A middle-aged woman inserted her head into the iron wire mesh separating the railway tracks in a strange posture.

  No one knew how she managed to get her head through such a small mesh, and those who saw it could only guess that there must have been a large hole somewhere that allowed her head to pass through.

  A middle-aged woman, in order not to fall off, strangled her neck and could only hold the mesh hole with both hands, with her feet against the wire mesh, not daring to relax at all, but this posture was very tiring.

  In less than a moment, the middle-aged couple who had come to their senses began shouting desperately: "Save us! Who can help call the police? Save us——!"

  Among the onlookers, someone had already called the police, but this time more people took out their mobile phones. Before calling the police, they chose to take pictures and videos first.

  "Heavens! This is unbelievable! Is this some kind of special ability? Who did it?" As the questions burst forth, someone's gaze turned towards Cheng Chou and the others on the side.

  "Look! What's that?" The crowd of onlookers suddenly had someone pointing at the utility pole and shouting in surprise.

  People's eyes shifted again.

  "......Crows! Those are crows!"

  A crow flew onto a utility pole, and another crow came out of the darkness to land on the iron mesh that trapped the middle-aged woman.

  One, two... Before long, nearly a hundred crows perched on the utility poles and barbed wire.

  "How is this possible? How can there be so many crows here?" People cried out in astonishment.

  A crow perched on a utility pole suddenly bowed its head and gently pecked the forehead of an elderly man.

  The middle-aged man let out a mournful cry.

  And this was like a signal, those crows suddenly looked at the middle-aged couple with their black eyes together.

  The eerie scene frightened the crowd of onlookers into complete silence, with some people getting scared and quietly retreating to the back, planning to leave.

  Cheng Zhou withdrew his gaze and said foolishly: "We have to leave here quickly."

  Hong Ye raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a questioning expression.

  "The police are coming, how can we explain this situation to them?" Cheng Zhou now gets a headache whenever he mentions the word "police", "I don't want to make up another bunch of lies to deceive the police uncles, and what you said, how can we make it up? And so many people have seen it?"

  "Idiot! You're leaving now and still can't make it clear. Because so many people have seen this strange scene, all you need to do is tell them the same thing - that you don't know anything and are very scared. And besides, this old lady is going to die anyway, if you take her away, not only will those two not get the punishment they deserve, but it'll also bring big trouble for yourself."

  Cheng Zhou was startled when he heard that Lao Tai was about to die and ignored everything else.

  "You said the old lady..."

  Hong Ye nodded and said lightly: "Yes, I'm about to die."

  Chengzhou was shocked and lowered his head to look at the old lady.

  The old woman was laughing, her laughter sounding extremely unpleasant, and with that appearance, she looked like a real lunatic.

  "I now believe I'm going crazy! Because not only do I feel that person has arrived, right by my side, but I also see those beasts getting their comeuppance and being pecked by crows! Hehehe!"

  The old lady was already unable to stand steadily, even with Cheng Zhou supporting her.

  Cheng Zhou could only put her on the ground, kneeling on one knee, and let her upper body half-recline in his arms.

  The black air in the palm of the red leaf is trembling.

  "Be honest! If it weren't for that idiot in my family meddling, I'd make you a malevolent spirit or a vengeful soul. You becoming an evil ghost would be even better, at least that way you could fill my belly."

  The dark energy has subsided.

  Yuanyuan jumped up and down to the side of Chengzhou's leg, hugging his arm for praise, "Uncle, I helped you take revenge!"

  Chengzhou smiled and rubbed his fluffy little head with his hand, "Thank you." Where did those crows come from? Were they real crows?

  He was rubbing his head against him with great satisfaction.

  Cheng Zhou rubbed his chest again with a comfortable hand, he was kicked by the middle-aged man just now, and also received two punches from him, don't know if he had internal injuries.

  Hong Ye looked at him like that, furrowed his brow. He wanted to teach Cheng Chou a lesson so he wouldn't dare take on tasks randomly in the future, but... he wasn't being sentimental! It's just that Cheng Chou's body was too fragile, and without detaching his soul, his attack power and self-defense capabilities were too low; if he got hurt, it would still be troublesome for him. Hmm, he had to think of a way to thoroughly resolve this issue.

  The police finally arrived.

  The old woman suddenly reached out and grabbed Cheng Chou's collar. "Is he here? Tell me, did he do all this?"

  Hong Ye heard someone pleading with him.

  Hong Ye's hand relaxed slightly, and a black gas escaped from his palm, transforming into a handsome train conductor who appeared beside the elderly woman.

  The old woman's body suddenly stiffened, her hands relaxed, and she slowly, slowly turned her head to look at the person beside her.

  Tears flowed from the old woman's eyes as she murmured, "I saw him, I really saw him. Is this a dream? I've forgotten what he looks like, and I don't even have a photo of him... but now I see him so clearly..."

  The train conductor knelt down beside the elderly woman, holding her hand and repeatedly saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

  The old woman, though able to see her lover's figure, still couldn't hear his voice. Yet she was overjoyed and asked: "Have you come to take me away? Do you still want me? They all said you've gone abroad to settle down and that I shouldn't wait for you anymore. But I don't believe it - you're not the kind of irresponsible man who would do such a thing. If you wanted to get married, you would have told me clearly to my face, right?"

  The train conductor nodded desperately.

  "I knew it..." The old woman's face showed a shy smile like that of a young girl, "Where did you go? Why didn't you show up for such a long time? Although I was willing to wait for you, but I waited too long, look, I've become so old."

  The old woman wanted to lift her hand to cover her face, but she lifted it several times without being able to.

  Tears blurred Liche's eyes.

  Chengzhou looked at Hongye, and Hongye shook his head at him.

  The old woman's body was already in a bad state, and if they hadn't found her, she would probably have passed away within one or two months.

  But today, the old woman received news of her lover's death, and the obsession that had kept her alive until now also dissipated. In addition, she was subjected to violent abuse by the middle-aged couple, which made it impossible for her spirit and body to hold on any longer.

  Being able to see the souls of the dead already proves that she has one foot in the ghost gate. At this time, fulfilling her wishes and letting her go quietly is the best policy.

  As she saw her lover's lips move, she couldn't hear what he was saying. The old woman became anxious and tried to lift her hand, as if wanting to pull out the letter folded into a paper crane shape from her pocket.

  "Young man, would you mind opening that letter and reading it out loud for me? I'd like to know what Xiaodan wrote in the letter."

  Cheng Zhou took out the letter from her pocket and slowly opened it with care.

  The letter paper was stained black with blood, and after forty years, the handwriting written with a steel pen had long been blurred, and ordinary people would probably not be able to recognize the words on it.

  The train conductor's hand gently stroked the letter paper, and the words on it suddenly became clear.

  "Azhu, you're right, we can't go on like this."

  You asked me if I had already stopped putting you in my heart, if I had already taken you as a burden, if I wanted to separate from you. At that time, I couldn't answer you because I needed to think carefully about what to do.

  I admit, that child causes me pain, but because of you, I am willing to accept him.

  I thought for two days about what to do, but I have to tell you, I never thought of separating from you. I was just worried about how to arrange the future of that child. I was worried whether to give the child to his biological father or raise him ourselves, but I also feared that if we had our own children in the future, we would neglect this child and he might hate us someday.

  I've made up my mind, I'm going to find that man and have a clear talk with him. Let him divorce you and we'll get married openly. If he wants the child, we'll give it to him; if not, we'll raise it ourselves. I'll try my best to be good to the child because it's yours.

  I've brought most of my savings, I think that man will agree to divorce you considering the amount of money, as long as he agrees, everything will be fine, this time no one can stop us from being together!

  Azhu, wait for me, I'll be back soon. This letter was written in the car, and I will ask Dali to give it to you. By the time you see this letter, I should have arrived at the village.

  Wait for me, wait until I come back. I may not be able to give you a decent wedding, but we can get married by certificate.

  I've asked around, you and that man didn't get a marriage certificate, but since you had a wedding and lived together for three years, it's considered a de facto marriage. However, as long as he agrees to separate from you and there's someone to testify, you'll be free, and we can go get our marriage notarized.

  Azhu, I will give you happiness, I will work hard to support you and our children.

  Maybe we can't go back to the village for now, but after ten or twenty years, when our children have grown up, as long as we live well and with dignity, those people in the village won't laugh at us, and our parents will probably accept us too.

  "Wait for me, Arzu, everything will be alright!"

  "You big fool, why didn't you tell me directly? Why did you write a letter? You said to entrust the letter to Da Lizi, but I didn't receive this letter. I saw him and that man and my parents come, but he didn't give me any letter."

  The old woman cried and laughed, "And you? Where have you been all these years? They all said they didn't know where you went. Your family even came to scold me, saying I drove you away, saying I made you lose face and couldn't return home. You...where did you go?"

  The handsome train conductor looked at Cheng Chou.

  Cheng Zhou nodded, "You tell me, I'll pass it on to her."

  The train conductor stroked the old woman's hand, looking into her eyes, which were filled with both sadness and hatred. He spoke with deep regret:

  "Da Lizi is the one I introduced to railway work, he also knows our business and even told me that he can help us speak in the village, I thought I could trust him, but unexpectedly he has been jealous of me all along."

  Chengzhou relayed the sentence to the old woman, and the old woman's hand suddenly clenched.

  The train master sighed and continued, "Because I was afraid my parents would stop me if they knew, I didn't tell anyone when I returned to the village. I secretly found Li Xun to discuss your matter with him. I thought he would get angry on the spot, and I even thought about how to calm him down. But unexpectedly, he looked very calm and said it was inconvenient to talk at home, so he asked me to meet him in the lava cave behind the mountain."

  I thought he was just a person and didn't think too much about it, thinking that even if we fought, he wouldn't be my opponent, and also feared that if he really made a scene, it would look bad, so I went with him.

  But I didn't expect that Da Lizi had betrayed me early on. Li Xun was so calm also because he had received the news in advance, and they had already decided to join hands to teach me a lesson.

  But I didn't know that at the time. When I went to the back mountain cave, Li Xun and I were discussing it when Da Lizi and Village rascal Li Dagou came together.

  I felt something was wrong at the time and wanted to leave, but they surrounded me. They also brought hoes and clubs.

  Da Lizi mocked me, insulted me, and I only then realized that he had always looked down on me. He is a relative of my family, considered to be my paternal younger male cousin. His family often compared him with me, even his job was found by me, which made him feel inferior. Moreover, the girl he liked wanted to marry me, so he had long been resentful towards me.

  "After reading the letter, Da Lizi knew that I had a lot of money on me, and the three of them forced me to take it out. Li Xun also said some very unpleasant words, saying that the money was what he should have gotten, I got angry and hit him, afterwards the three of them started attacking me."

  Chengzhou felt a chill run down his spine.

  The train conductor's face was ferocious, with a black aura rising from his body. "Yes, I was beaten to death by them. Da Lizi hit me on the back of my head with a shovel, and Li Xun struck me again on the head with a stick, causing my brains to splatter out."

  Cheng Zhou was silent, and the old woman looked at the train car and then at him with eager eyes, but he didn't know how to convey this message to her.

  He also took a look at the police's actions and saw that they were already trying to rescue the middle-aged couple.

  Because a police officer and two auxiliary police officers had arrived, they were busy comforting the middle-aged couple while also listening to the onlookers' chatter, so for the time being, there was no way to spare manpower to look for them. The police would occasionally glance at them, fearing that they might leave.

  However, he had already heard the police siren and presumably the first policeman to arrive found the situation strange and notified other policemen to come over.

  The trainmaster continued: "They took the money and buried me in that mountain cave, Da Lizi also buried the letter with me. They looked very scared at the time and promised each other not to mention what happened that day."

  I was very strange at that time, knowing that I had already died, but I could still hear and see. I also saw a road appearing in front of me, feeling that something was attracting me to walk on that road, but I was not willing to leave like this. I wanted to find Ah Zhu and take revenge, but I couldn't leave the cave no matter what.

  It wasn't until ten years later that I was able to leave the cave, but when I left the cave, I found that I could only go to two places. One was the old bungalow where I used to live with Arzu, and the other was the several trains I worked on.

  The old flat didn't have Ah Zhu, but another family lived there and it was soon demolished. I couldn't find Ah Zhu, so I had to stay on the train, and before long, I saw her through the window of the train, but although I saw her, I couldn't get to her side...

  Another police car arrived.

  Cheng Zhou saw the two police officers who had been eyeing them earlier approach their colleagues and say something quickly, then turn around and walk towards him.

  "Hello, sir, there's something we'd like to ask you about." One of the two approaching police officers bowed to Cheng Chou, interrupting the train conductor's speech.

  Another policeman squatted down beside Cheng Zhou and asked, "What happened just now? What's wrong with this old lady? Who hit her? Has an ambulance been called?"
