Xiao Jin ran forward and suddenly saw the huge tree in front of her.

There was a small figure under the tree.

Xiao Jin recognized the figure at a glance; it was the older sister she had chatted with that afternoon. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she called out with a smile:

"Sister, Xiao Jin is here!"

She scrambled faster with her short legs, and just as she was about to reach the tree, her foot somehow slipped and she fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" Xiao Jin exclaimed, and when she looked up, she found that the older sister who had just been standing under the tree was now in front of her.

The older sister bent down, looking at Xiao Jin, who was somewhat disheveled but still very cute, and said in a surprised tone:

"You actually came looking for me."

Xiao Jin chuckled, got up from the ground, patted the dirt off herself, and said, "Xiao Jin doesn't feel any pain."

Xie Luxue looked at Xiao Jin with a complicated expression, and slowly straightened up.

The moon was very bright today, shining on Xie Luxue and making her skin appear sickly pale.

"Xiao Jin is here to play with you!" Xiao Jin's voice was full of energy.

Xie Luxue ignored Xiao Jin and turned to walk towards the tree.

Xiao Jin didn't care about Xie Luxue's cold face at all. She followed behind Xie Luxue, and when Xie Luxue sat back down under the tree, Xiao Jin followed suit and sat down as well, asking:

"Sister, Xiao Jin doesn't even know your name yet."

"Xie Luxue, they used to call me Xiaoxue." Xie Luxue's tone was indifferent. She bent her legs, wrapped her arms around her legs, and curled herself up into a ball, looking extremely insecure.

"You contacted me because you wanted to hear stories about those bad guys?"

Xiao Jin nodded. "Yes."

That's a very important matter. Only when she understands the story behind it can she decide what to do next.

Xie Luxue looked up at the sky, her voice soft and gentle:

"There are four little boys and two little girls in this village, and they often play together."

"Xiaofei is the richest of the six; his father is a construction foreman. Xiaohua is the most mischievous and the fastest runner. Xiaofeng is the most timid but studies very well and is the most talkative. Xiaozhuang is the strongest and the most robust."

"Xiao Hong loves to dress up the most, and hates Xiao Xiang the most."

Xiao Jin suddenly interjected, "Why does Xiao Hong dislike Xiao Xiang?"

"They each have their own unique characteristics, so why doesn't your sister mention Xiao Xiang?"

"Because..." Xie Luxue lowered her eyes, her voice turning colder, "Xiao Xiang is the dumbest, the poorest, the least talkative, the weakest, and the slowest runner."

"Xiao Xiang's parents don't want her anymore; she only has her maternal grandparents."

Xiao Jin frowned slightly, a sad expression on her face, and retorted in a low voice, "That's not true."

"Xiao Xiang is the most beautiful, the most well-behaved, and the most gentle."

As she spoke, she pouted, lowered her head, and stuck out her little finger, poking at her shadow on the ground.

Xie Luxue paused, and after several seconds continued, "They've been playing together since they were little."

"Until one afternoon, they gathered together again."

Xie Luxue's voice suddenly changed, becoming cold and sinister, mixed with a strange chuckle, "Xiao Hong said she wants to play a game."

"Let the wolf eat the lamb," Little Red said. They ran together, and the slowest one would be punished—she would become a lamb, and the others would become wolves.

"When wolves chase sheep, the fastest wolf gets to eat the lamb first."

Xiao Jin's face was tense as she listened intently to Xie Luxue's story. Her little fists clenched involuntarily as she said sadly:

"Xiao Xiang turned into a lamb and was eaten..."

Xie Luxue chuckled a few times, "How could that be? It's just a game. They're not real wolves, they won't eat Xiao Xiang."

She turned to look at Xiao Jin, and said with a sinister smile, "They only know how to torture lambs."

"Xiao Hua ran the fastest and was the first to catch the lamb. Then Xiao Zhuang held the lamb down. He was so strong that the lamb couldn't break free no matter what it did."

"And then..." Xie Luxue looked at Xiao Jin's nervous and frightened expression, her eyelashes trembled, and she didn't continue.

She looked away, gazing vaguely ahead. "They bullied the lamb, and in the struggle, the lamb fell and died."

"They threw the lamb's carcass into the well."

"Xiao Feng is the best talker; he made up a great story to tell the adults. Xiao Fei is the richest; he bribed the police."

Xiao Jin's eyes were red, and she felt very sad listening to this. She sniffed and asked, "What about Xiao Xiang's maternal grandparents?"

"Xiao Xiang is missing. Grandpa and Grandma must be very sad."

Xie Luxue suddenly fell silent, her hands clenched into fists, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Grandpa and Grandma were heartbroken. They couldn't find Xiaoxiang anywhere, and nobody would help them. So they went to the city to try and find someone to help them."

"But those people found out, and they went looking for them."

Xiao Jin's heart tightened upon hearing these words, her lips turned down, and she held back her tears.

Xie Luxue turned to look at Xiao Jin, her eyes red and two horrifying streams of bloody tears flowing from them. She said in anguish:

"They hired someone to run over and kill my grandparents."

She cried, tears of blood slowly streaming down her face, obscuring her pale complexion.

Looking at Xie Luxue's appearance, Xiao Jin didn't find it scary, but only felt sorry for her.

She clutched her chest, choking back sobs, "It's so sad, so sad."

Xiao Jin's heart is aching.

She had never been so sad before.

She knew there was no Xiao Xiang, only Xiao Xue.

The older sister is Xiaoxue, the one who died is the older sister, and the one who suffered all of this is the older sister.

Xie Luxue's eyes were filled with venomous hatred. She looked at Xiao Jin, her face fierce: "I know you're here to arrest me!"

From the moment she saw Sun Liqiang pick up the three of them, she realized that they were there to deal with her.

"You're in cahoots with them!"

"I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't do anything wrong!"

Xie Luxue roared in rage, "I'm going to kill you all!"

The next second, Xiao Jin rushed over and hugged Xie Luxue.

Her short arms wrapped tightly around Xie Luxue's neck, and tears streamed down her face.

She cried, "Sister, Xiao Jin is late!"

Xie Luxue was stunned when she heard this.

Xiao Jin's tears fell on her shoulder, bringing a burning pain and wisps of white smoke.

pain...

She's already dead, so she shouldn't feel any pain.

Xie Luxue was in a daze, her ears filled with Xiao Jin's cries.

"I'm sorry, sister, Xiao Jin couldn't catch the bad guy!"

She finally came to her senses, pushed Xiao Jin away, and looked at Xiao Jin in shock and astonishment.

What's going on?

"Whether you can see me or touch me."

Xiao Jin sobbed, pitifully rubbing her eyes, her eyelashes wet with tears, and awkwardly comforted her, "Sister, don't be sad."

As she spoke, she tried to wipe Xie Luxue's tears.

But Xie Luxue retreated warily, dodging for a moment, "You already knew I was a ghost."

Xiao Jin nodded. "Xiao Jin knew it the moment she saw you."

"Then why did you come looking for me..." Xie Luxue's gaze towards Xiao Jin completely changed, and she slowly stood up from the ground.

The bright moonlight shone on the two of them, but only Xiao Jin's shadow was visible.

Xiao Jin's eyes and nose were red from crying, "because you were very sad."

"The moment Xiao Jin saw you, she could tell you were so sad, so very sad."

"That's why Xiao Jin came to find you."

"Sister, Xiaojin is feeling really sad right now."

Xie Luxue was horrified. She didn't understand what was going on. This child in front of her could both see her and touch her.

But this child is definitely a human, not a ghost.

Xiao Jin sniffed and suddenly grabbed her hand. "Sister, you should run away. You've broken the laws of the underworld; they'll catch you."

"You can leave now."

Xie Luxue looked stunned. "You're not going to arrest me?"

"Weren't you hired by Sun Liqiang to arrest me?"

"Xiao Jin came to catch the bad guys, but Xiao Jin is late..." Xiao Jin looked at Xie Luxue with heartache, "Sister, Xiao Jin will send you a lot of money, so you must take good care of yourself."

"I won't leave. There's still someone alive." Xie Luxue's eyes were resolute.

Having come this far, she will absolutely not give up.

She gave Xiao Jin a warning look, "Don't stop me."

Xiao Jin's round eyes were full of worry as she looked up at Xie Luxue. "Sister, you have already committed a very serious crime against the underworld. The underworld will not let you off the hook."

Even in the underworld, there are laws that restrain ghosts.

Xie Luxue remained silent, her face filled with stubbornness; she clearly didn't care about the consequences.

Xiao Jin sighed sadly, "Now only Xiao Feng is left."

Kong Zheng had told her that of the four dead people, three men and one woman, the woman's face was slashed, one man's tongue was bitten off, one man's hand was severed, and one man was naked with a broken neck.

The corresponding characters are those in the story told by Xie Luxue.

So the last man should be Xiao Hua, who broke his leg.

Xiao Jin raised her hand, clenched her little fist, and solemnly said, "Sister, Xiao Jin will avenge you."

"You can leave it to Xiaojin without worry."

As they were talking, the watch on Xiao Jin's wrist suddenly rang.

It was Yun Zi'ang's phone call.

Xiao Jin answered the phone, and Yun Zi'ang's anxious voice came through, "Little Miss, where have you gone?"

"Xiao Jin is under the big tree talking to her sister. Xiao Jin, go back now."

"Okay, okay, just don't turn off your watch," Yun Ziang instructed.

"Okay, Xiao Jin knows," Xiao Jin said, hanging up the phone. She looked up at Xie Luxue and asked, "Sister, what's Xiao Hua's full name?"

Xie Luxue stared into Xiao Jin's innocent eyes and shook her head. "That's my business."

She cannot involve others, especially not a child.

As she spoke, her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Ah, sister, don't run away!" Xiao Jin looked around, her little brows furrowed in frustration. "Xiao Hua?"

"Xiao Jin is going to find Xiao Hua."

She made up her mind, took off on her short legs, and ran towards the mayor's house.
