Perhaps Yao Xin was mistaken, Zhao Xiuyin was still dragging her pair of wooden legs clattering around in any corner of the world, with her nonchalant smile... the moment when she was thrown off the cliff by the accelerated snow shoes For a moment, what was she thinking?fear?Still remorse?It is said that at that time, relying on her well-developed motor nerves and boldness, she ignored the warnings of her companions and boarded the most dangerous ski slopes alone.In any case, that fatal fall will no longer be as determined and elegant as when she jumped into the water from the diving platform. She is like a parabola or a meteorite, slashing across the dazzling blue sky, struggling desperately and in vain, It was swallowed by the white snow at the bottom of the valley and the rugged and sharp rock groups.

The black shadow with burrs expanded and deformed in her heart, piercing her body and making her suffer from insomnia for two or three nights.Encountered ghosts in broad daylight?Maybe she was bewitched by an evil spirit, but when she passed the fortune-telling booth in the underground of Xingtian Palace on her way to and from get off work, no one ever yelled at her to go to evil spirits for her. Could it be her hallucination?No, not only she saw it, but also the waitress in the teahouse who served Zhao Xiuyin tea... She suddenly jumped up, went out to hail a taxi, and was about to go to the teahouse to find out.However, standing in front of the glass door of the teahouse covered with iron roses, she hesitated to step in the door.She wandered around in the arcade outside for a while, and saw that the seat where Zhao Xiuyin was sitting last time was now occupied by a fashionable couple, their sophisticated and carefree faces were illuminated by the dim yellow light, she felt a little disappointed besides the peace of mind.

In the end, she opened the door and went in. A listless waitress took her to a small round table in the corner. She ordered a cup of cappuccino and looked around at the oak tables and chairs, pastoral floral wallpapers, classical bronze lampshades, and the atmosphere in the air. With the aroma of desserts and cream wandering around, and customers sitting around enjoying the nighttime relaxation, the bright atmosphere here is not at all like a place haunted by ghosts.While she was in a trance, a crisp voice interrupted her:

"Do you need a refill on your coffee?"

She raised her head suddenly, and standing in front of her was the waitress wearing glasses who was on duty that day. She nodded hurriedly, and the waitress picked up her cup and walked away.When she came back with a hot cup of coffee, Xian Ling stammered out the question she had prepared for a long time: "Excuse me... um, have you ever met a guest, a lady about my age, Well, she has a pair of prosthetics, the kind made of wood..."

Originally, she was going to meet the surprised look in the waitress' eyes like she was staring at a madman, but unexpectedly, she immediately put away her professional smile, looked around warily, approached Xianling and lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry about this matter." Tell others, or I will be fired." He quickly glanced at the wall clock behind the counter: "Wait for me at the opposite intersection in half an hour."

When I saw the waitress again, she had already changed into a mini dress with big hibiscus flowers and chili red platform sandals, and she was wearing a pink plastic transparent backpack, just like any young girl on the street who could keep up with the times. If she hadn't come forward on her own initiative, Xian Ling would really not have recognized her.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see her!" The girl barely stopped, dropped the words in a hurry, and passed Xian Ling like a stranger.Xian Ling couldn't keep up with her small steps like walking on stilts, so she had to half run and half walk to follow her back closely. The hibiscus on her body bloomed magically in the crowded crowd: after passing the bar with blue lights, it became the night sky. Purple morning glory; through the warm yellow window of the silver building, it turns into a sunny cosmos.Turning into a quiet alley, all the noisy colors are silent, the girl is waiting for her under the pale beam of a street lamp, still without saying a word, leading her into an old-style apartment on the fifth floor The wooden door with mottled green paint, pointed to the musty-smelling stairs leading to the basement and said, "She's waiting for you below."

Xian Ling quickly grabbed the girl who was about to turn around and leave: "Are you kidding me? Does anyone live in this place?"

The girl widened her Danfeng eyes behind the lens: "Who told you that she is human? Hey, listen, if she hadn't helped me attract a lot of customers, I would have saved enough tips for a new box of powder in just one week." Well, I can pretend not to see her. I brought all the customers who inquired about her here to find her, God knows what she is doing to you people... I have to go, my boyfriend will come to the store to pick her up later If there is no one, you will fight with me again."

After she finished the last few words, she turned around and ran, disappearing at the end of the alley.

Xianling couldn't catch up, and stood in the empty alley, with a few late-night lights on from the houses on both sides, the sound of gargling, mothers yelling at their children, and the lingering love on the TV. The infatuated series ending theme song, everything is so calm, familiar and safe.But what awaited her once she descended that dank staircase?A female ghost with missing legs?Bones gnawed by mice?Or is it a monster that suddenly devoured her into the boundless darkness?One more bloody and more terrifying image overwhelmed her initial curiosity, and she heard her own pulse beating rapidly against her temple, as if the footsteps of the god of death approaching her to hell, getting faster and faster step by step.She struggled to move her legs, which seemed to be stuck in the mud, first the big toe in the left shoe, then the right ankle, and when she was sure she could regain control of her legs, she stumbled towards the alley. The bright lights in the mouth ran away desperately, running and running.That night in her dream, she was still chased by an invisible terror, running endlessly. When she woke up, the sky was white, and the sheets and pillow towels were cold and wet.

Three weeks later, the wedding was grandly held as scheduled. There were fifty tables in the Hyatt Hotel. Apart from many famous people rushing to the venue, Yao Xin also came. The two hugged excitedly and praised each other's beauty .There was no mention of any topic related to Zhao Xiuyin, perhaps because there were too many guests waiting for her to toast and greet, but perhaps more importantly: the dead have never received wedding invitations from the mortal world.
