After the man said these four words, he stood at the door like a wooden sculpture, motionless.

The fourth uncle said in surprise: "It's you!"

I was unmoved because I no longer wanted to live.

"Gu Zhou, come here, I know you are sad now, but things are not what you think. Your parents were turned into corpse puppets by him a long time ago, so you did not kill them."

Hearing what she said, I felt a little better and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you telling the truth? But my parents are still dead."

"So you have to live to avenge them!" The woman said in a sulky tone.

I turned over and got up from the ground, thinking that what she said made sense. It didn't matter if I died, but if I died like this, wouldn't it mean that I would never know who the murderer was who killed my parents?

All the troubles are caused by me, I can't just die and escape from reality.

"Mind your own business!" The fourth uncle suddenly rushed towards the woman with a single step. The woman hurriedly dodged back and shouted anxiously: "Gu Zhou, come here quickly, don't you want to know the truth of the matter?"

Hearing her words, I instantly became energetic and ran towards the woman quickly.

The woman grabbed my hand, and the two of us ran wildly in the rain, but my fourth uncle did not take a step out of the door.

She and I ran to the Chenghuang Temple at the east end of the village before stopping.

I asked: "Who are you anyway?"

The woman said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I am the same person as you."

I was stunned for a moment. What are these words? I am a man and you are a woman. Why are we the same?

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't force it. So, do you know about my parents?"

The woman nodded and said, "Your parents were turned into corpse puppets by that person, and they are not your biological parents."

The woman told a bombshell. When I heard it, I trembled all over and exclaimed: "What did you say?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Ma Zhentong, you were adopted by your parents." The woman nodded affirmatively.

"How do you know?" My mind was in confusion. I had never known this before. I really didn't know if it was true or not.

"Do you still remember that your parents wanted you to marry Liu Qian'er?" The woman did not answer my question directly.

I said of course I remember, didn't all this happen because of her?

The woman sighed and said, "You wrongly blamed her. Her death was not caused by you, so she has no reason to keep pestering you. The reason why she is pestering you is because your two horoscopes have already merged together."

"And the reason why she came to you is to get you to leave the village, because someone doesn't want you to leave and wants your life."

I was stunned, is that true? Doesn't that mean that Liu Qian'er has been saving me, but her kindness has been misunderstood by me.

"She never meant to harm you from the beginning to the end. She had one soul and two souls taken away from her, so she became stupid. After her death, her soul returned to her body and she knew the cause and effect of everything."

I swallowed and felt very uncomfortable. If what the woman said was true, wouldn't it mean that it had harmed her and almost made her unable to reincarnate?

"And the reason why your parents want her to marry you is not for your happiness."

"Maybe my words will disgust you, but I must tell you that in the eyes of your adoptive parents, you are just a substitute for resurrecting their son."

"What?" I stood up suddenly.

"Remember that black cat? Their son's soul is hidden in the black cat." The woman's words made me break out in a cold sweat. This was too outrageous.

My parents did give birth to another son when I was seven or eight years old. I was still young at that time, and I only remember that my parents loved him very much, but I became the one who was left out.

It's just that the child died when he was four years old, and his parents carried his body around to seek medical treatment as if they were mad.

I don't know what happened to him afterwards, but the child's body was indeed not buried in the village.

From then on, my father became taciturn and my mother shed tears all day long. I felt sad for a long time.

I didn't think much about it, I just felt that the pain of losing a child was really hard to bear.

The woman's words reminded me of my father's attitude that day. That day I saw a black cat climbing onto the Eight Immortals Table. I felt unlucky and wanted to drive it away. As a result, my father became very angry.

And during the next few days when I kept vigil for Liu Qianer, black cats appeared.

It seems that the appearance of the black cat is not a coincidence.

"I don't know what your parents are going to do, but the black cat has become a monster that absorbs the energy of death. Even if it is resurrected, it is not a normal person. Moreover, this evil method of extending life is not allowed by heaven and is simply impossible.

Success." The woman's tone was stern.

Since ancient times, resurrection from the dead has been a taboo. Even if it is to borrow a life, the person concerned must still be alive, and there will be a very high price to pay, let alone resurrection.

"You can ask your master about these things. He knows better than me."

After listening to the woman's words, I was stunned. The amount of information was too great and I couldn't take it in at once.

When the woman saw that I was silent, she added, "No one in the world is worthy of your complete trust. Your life is in your own hands, and I can't stay any longer. We will definitely meet again in the future."

After saying this, the woman walked out of the City God's Temple holding a black umbrella.

I paralyzed on the ground helplessly, and kept thinking about all the things that happened during this period in my mind. It seemed that my parents' reaction was indeed abnormal.

So I sat there until dark. Even though my stomach was growling, I had no appetite at all.

Later, Li Guohua met me at the Chenghuang Temple and brought me a bowl of noodles from his home.

I didn't move a word, not even caring about the festering wound on my hand.

Li Guohua didn't say anything and took the noodles away again the next morning.

At this moment, I don’t know what to do next. Even if what the woman said is true, so what?

There is nothing I can do to repay my parents for their kindness in raising me.
