"Aunt Cuihua." The next afternoon, Su Qing heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw that it was Aunt Cuihua.

After returning from the puddle yesterday, Cheng Beilin was fine during the day. Su Qing used the fish she caught to make a braised black fish and a steamed silver carp, and the two of them had a delicious meal. But at night, Cheng Beilin had a nightmare. Perhaps she was somewhat frightened by what happened during the day, so when she woke up this morning, Cheng Beilin felt a little listless and couldn't muster up any energy.

Seeing that Cheng Beilin looked a little listless, Su Qing didn't go out either, and the two of them stayed at home to rest.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Cuihua came in the afternoon.

"I saw that you two were not there in the puddle, so I knew you two didn't go to watch the fun." Aunt Cuihua came into the house and saw that Cheng Beilin's face was a little pale, so she was surprised and said: "Hey, Xiaolin, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well." Cheng Beilin smiled at Aunt Cuihua and asked, "Aunt Cuihua, how is the situation over there in the puddle?"

Su Qing smiled and said, "You had a nightmare last night, and you still dare to ask if you are afraid of having another nightmare tonight?"

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare last night? Are you scared?" Aunt Cuihua looked at Cheng Beilin and asked. She touched Cheng Beilin's forehead and found it was not hot. She was relieved and said, "You little girls are timid and weak in aura. You are easily scared."

"It's okay, just a little bit." Cheng Beilin felt a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red.

Aunt Cuihua smiled and said, "You have a good relationship with Su Qing. You should learn from her. She used to be timid, but now she is very brave. Ask her to teach you how to be brave."

Su Qing listened and laughed: "To be honest, evil people are scarier than ghosts. As long as you are not afraid of evil people, you will naturally not be afraid of ghosts."

"That's right." Aunt Cuihua slapped her thigh and pointed at the old Su family next door: "Those people in the old Su family are more hateful than ghosts. Fortunately, you are not afraid of them now."

Su Qing just smiled. Cheng Beilin on the side didn't know the specific situation between Su Qing and the neighbor, but seeing the two of them talking, he knew that they should be relatives, but their relationship was not good now. However, Cheng Beilin was sure that Su Qing was the best person, and directly classified the old Su family as bad people in his heart. He was also thinking about helping Su Qing vent her anger when he had the chance.

"Aunt Cuihua, have you started salvaging in the puddle?" Su Qing asked.

When Aunt Cuihua heard Su Qing's question, she slapped her thigh and said, "Well, come to think of it, it's a good thing you didn't go this afternoon. You don't know that everyone who went to the water hole today was more or less scared. Even me, when I first saw it, my heart was beating so fast."

Cheng Beilin didn't care about the old Su family next door when she heard that. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Aunt Cuihua, please tell me what's going on over there in the puddle. Is it that scary? Tell me so I can practice my courage."

"Then I tell you, don't have nightmares again tonight." Aunt Cuihua came here today to share gossip with Su Qing and Cheng Beilin, but when she saw that Cheng Beilin was frightened last night, she hesitated and didn't know whether she should say it, for fear of scaring Cheng Beilin again.

"No, no." Cheng Beilin shook his head like a rattle. Su Qing also looked at Aunt Cuihua, wanting to know what was going on in the puddle.

"Let me tell you something." Aunt Cuihua then talked about the situation at the puddle: "Today, some people from Gongan went into the water, and guess what, they pulled out a female corpse from an ice hole. Oh my, you didn't see it. It was so swollen from being soaked, and you couldn't even tell its original appearance. Also, the female corpse was covered with weeds and the scariest thing was that there were several large rocks on her body. Wow, it was so miserable. She didn't look very old, and I don't know whose daughter she was. What a sin!"

Aunt Cuihua sighed as she spoke. Although she was a gossiper, she had a kind heart and naturally felt sympathy when she saw the tragic scene.

"Ah, it's really fished out!" Cheng Beilin suddenly felt numb all over, and unconsciously hugged Su Qing's arm. She was scared, but still asked curiously: "Then, did Gognan say anything?"

“No.” Aunt Cuihua shook her head: “The gongan took the people back. Oh my, it’s a good thing you girls didn’t go to that scene. Many people vomited afterwards. It was really a bit scary.”

"Aunt Cuihua, you look okay." Cheng Beilin saw that Aunt Cuihua looked fine and didn't look frightened, so she couldn't help but say with admiration. Fortunately, she didn't go to watch the fun today, otherwise she felt that she might not dare to sleep at night. Now, just listening to Aunt Cuihua talking about these things, she felt a chill on her back.

"I'm fine. I just felt uncomfortable at first. My heart was beating a little faster. But I'm much better than others. My father is a butcher. I've seen a lot of things since I was a child. I'm fine." Aunt Cuihua waved her hand proudly. Seeing that Su Qing looked normal, she smiled and said, "If you ask me, if Su Qing saw it, she would probably be fine."

Su Qing smiled. She was definitely not afraid. She had seen zombies many times during the apocalypse in her previous life. Those zombies were even scarier. It was common to see them with missing limbs and intestines spilling all over the floor. That scene was so horrible that people of this era could not imagine.

"Speaking of which, that girl was also pitiful. I don't know who killed her and threw her into the ice hole. As a result, the little black boy also drowned in it." Su Qing felt quite sympathetic towards the drowned child. Who would have thought that she would lose her life just because she came out to play?

"Oh, it's true." Aunt Cuihua was also full of sighs when talking about the drowned child: "I heard that Heizi's mother gave birth to five daughters in a row before she got this precious egg. She cherished it in her hands for eight or nine years, and in the end, it was gone. No one can bear it. I heard that Heizi's mother was not in a good mood when she went home yesterday. She said that everyone she saw was the murderer of her son and wanted him to pay with his life."

"Ah!" Cheng Beilin was shocked: "How pitiful."

"Who said it wasn't true?" Aunt Cuihua sighed and said, "Someone from Heizi's family also went to Shuiwazi today and begged Gongan to catch the murderer and avenge their child."

"I don't know when we can catch the murderer." Cheng Beilin said, "It's so cold and snowy here, I'm afraid it's hard to find footprints and fingerprints, so it's probably going to be hard to catch him."

"Ah, what fingerprints?" Aunt Cuihua didn't understand and looked at Cheng Beilin with a confused look on her face.
