To be honest, I'm a bit afraid to sleep because I know that no matter how much I yearn for a sweet and unrestricted childhood dream, it's just a fantasy. I dream of having a dream, but in the end, I'll still see the silhouette of that dead woman.

  In my dream, I still chased after it with great foolishness. How I wanted to say "go to hell" to it, but this broken dream was like a script that someone else had already written out for me, and no matter what I said, I couldn't get the words out. It was as if I was just an onlooker, like watching a movie replay, except this replayed movie had been shown dozens of times already, and it wasn't even a pornographic film. What interest did I still have in watching?

  It's actually quite strange, this broken dream made me sleep for three hours, and when I woke up with a start, it was almost 8 o'clock. This scared the hell out of me, damn it! You know which day traffic jams are not terrible in the morning? Being late like this will get me scolded by Wen Shu, that old devil.

  So I hastily got up and shook awake Old Yi on the simple folding bed, this old kid was sleeping soundly, drooling all over. In my heart, I was resentful, if it wasn't for this natural-born sleepyhead who was snoring and farting with his mouth open, I would have fallen asleep long ago.

  So I shook old Yi, he seemed to have been startled awake, and suddenly sat up saying: "I don't want to die!!"

  Damn it, looking at him like this, I reckon he was scared out of his wits by that Fan Wujiu last night. He's probably still having nightmares about that old Fan coming to collect his soul, what a terrible dream.

  Thinking about it, I'm actually quite lucky compared to Lao Yi. No matter what, I still dreamt of a girl, unlike Lao Yi who even in his dreams has appointments with those two unpredictable gentlemen.

  I smiled wryly and said to him: "You've overslept, hurry up and get out of bed, big brother will be late."

  Lao Yi rubbed his eyes, let out a sigh of relief and said to me: "Scared me to death! You don't know what I just dreamed about. That guy with the surname Fan was chasing me, almost scared the pants off me!"

  After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the toilet. I hastily lifted up the quilt, fortunately, fortunately, in his dream, he only had the urge to pee in his pants, but there was no actual action, otherwise my quilt would have been unlucky.

  After a hasty wash, Lao Yi and I rushed downstairs to wait for the bus. On bus 104, there were still so many people. In fact, having many people isn't necessarily a bad thing. The crowded buses in Harbin obviously support a group of excellent perverts and pickpockets.

  Just like this guy in front of me, who looks almost 40 years old, is now repeatedly touching Lao Yi's butt. Of course, he may not be a pervert, but if he is, then he must be a heavy-taste and cataract pervert. Think about it, what's so good about touching Lao Yi's flat butt?

  So I've decided that he's not a pervert, but a pickpocket. However, his luck is really bad because yesterday Old Yi told me that now his pockets are cleaner than his face. Even this morning when we were taking the bus, it was me who helped him put in the coins, he couldn't even find any money himself. You're a pickpocket, how can you not even find any money?

  I couldn't help but laugh, I originally wanted to go up and slap this old guy in the face, but then I thought about it, Old Yi this kid doesn't seem to have noticed that his butt is being eaten tofu, he's still staring blankly at the car TV, this scene is really too funny. Anyway, there's no money on Old Yi's body, let him touch it, see when Old Yi can reflect on it. Haha.

  This old scoundrel was probably quite depressed, he touched for a long time, but didn't find any money in Lao Yi's buttocks pocket, and seemed to have been so angry that my residual light clearly saw him muttering something under his breath.

  I took one look at this old fellow and burst out laughing, I reckon he still doesn't know that Old Yi is actually so poor, he doesn't even bring money when going out, so he's cursing loudly on the street. I'm delighted in my heart, didn't expect to be able to see such a joke.

  To be honest, human nature is actually quite realistic. Apart from me, many others saw the old man's theft, but unlike me, they knew Lao Yi had no money, yet none of them took any action, just watching the show.

  When it comes to human nature, when you see others in danger, you don't lend a hand because you think it's none of your business. But then you wonder, what if one day you're the one in danger? Will anyone come to help you?

  Damn it, unbelievable. The people we risked our lives to protect back then turned out to be like this. Forget it, that's just human nature, no point in reasoning with them. Thinking of this, I felt a bit choked again. So I went forward and patted Lao Yi on the back. When Lao Yi turned around, the old pickpocket quickly withdrew his hand.

  Lao Yi asked me: "What's up?"

  I told him: "There are all sorts of people on this bus, be careful of pickpocketing."

  I said this loudly, and obviously the people around me heard it. Every line has its own rules, you little thief, I've seen through you, giving you a chance to save face without exposing you, just get off quickly!

  This old fellow, however, didn't seem to notice, turned around as if he hadn't heard anything, and seemed to be looking for his next target. In front of him was a young girl, who looked like she was only in her early twenties, about my age. And then this old guy reached out and touched the girl's butt.

  I'm speechless, you know it's already spring now, many young women who love beauty are wearing thick stockings and skirts, of course, this little girl is too. Now I'm a bit suspicious whether he's a pickpocket or a sex maniac who eats both men and women, damn it.

  It's clear that the little girl isn't as thick-skulled as Old Yi, and when the old lecher touched her butt, she realized it right away. However, due to her shy and timid nature, she didn't dare to shout loudly, but instead kept moving sideways. But now the bus is like a sardine can, where can you move to? And that old guy is like glue, once he's stuck on, he won't let go.

  I'm getting angry here, what the hell is wrong with you? You've been warned once and twice, where did this three and four come from? I told you to get out earlier, but you're still doing it?!

  If I don't teach you a lesson, it wouldn't be my style as your brother, would it?

  But then I thought, if I rashly went up and gave that old thing a slap in the face, that little girl would definitely be very embarrassed. After all, women are born to be vain creatures. If I stirred up a hornet's nest, everyone on the bus would know she had been molested, where would her face go? If things went wrong, she might even deny it, and my heroic act of justice would end in tragedy, and I would definitely be counter-accused by that old pervert.

  Damn it, those heroic scenes where the beauty takes the initiative, probably can only appear in those romance novels. You know, in today's realistic society, even acts of righteousness require careful consideration, I think if Lei Feng were alive today, he would be shedding tears of blood.

  No way, I have to think of a plan. My eyes rolled around and an idea popped into my head. So, I turned around and squeezed through the crowd, grabbing onto the handrail on that side. In that instant, I quickly stretched out my right hand and used my sharp black fingernail to jab at the old pervert's salty pig hand. As I mentioned before, my black fingernails are quite powerful, and with one swift motion, I managed to poke a hole in his hand. After doing so, I swiftly withdrew my hand.

  That old lecher was enjoying himself, but unexpectedly a sharp pain shot through his hand. He let out a cry of surprise and was about to speak when I beat him to it. I put my right arm around the little girl's shoulder and in a very affectionate tone loudly said to her: "Hey? Little sister, what a coincidence! How come you're on this bus too?"

  The little girl turned her head and stared at me with a surprised and frightened gaze. I took the opportunity to glance behind her, meaning to signal her not to make a sound, as I was helping her out of the situation.

  That little girl saw me giving her a look and understood. Her eyes were full of gratitude, then she said: "Yes, brother, what a coincidence."

  I saw her answer, and I felt at ease. Then I turned my head to glare fiercely at the old rascal. Obviously, in his eyes, I was now a relative or friend of this girl, and I also saw the old scoundrel's guilt, so he could only swallow his words. At this time, the bus stopped, and the old man got off with a grumble.

  If that's the case, I reckon this little girl would fall in love with me next, but reality is reality, where can you find so many romantic encounters? Seeing that old thing get off the bus, I let go of the hand holding onto the little girl's shoulder and smiled at her before returning to Lao Yi's side. Lao Yi was still puzzled and asked me: "When did you get such a beautiful older sister?"

  This natural fool still hasn't realized what's going on, so I said to him: "Just met, don't ask, getting off the bus in a minute."

  I subconsciously turned my head, only to see that the little girl was also looking at me. To be honest, I didn't take a close look earlier, but she actually looked quite pretty. Our eyes met, and her face suddenly turned red, then she turned her head away. Damn it, I wasn't surprised when I saw the pickpocket earlier, but in this day and age, there are still girls who blush just from being looked at - it really shocked me. Suddenly, images of those extreme female classmates from my university days flashed into my mind. I was left speechless.

  After a while, Lao Yi and I arrived at the station, so we got off the bus and each walked into our own store. Due to traffic congestion, both of us were still late. As soon as I entered the store, I saw Wen Shu's old face looking very long, just like the square J in a deck of cards.

  As expected, the old man was furious and the consequences were quite severe. Today, he seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't even want to play mahjong with me. He scolded me harshly, I had never seen him lose his temper so badly before, and I don't know what's wrong with him. But fortunately, my buddy has been trained by our teacher since childhood to have a thick skin, no matter how hard the wind blows or the rain falls, and I myself am not easily fazed. So, his scolding went in one ear and out the other, like a dog farting.

  Fortunately, after this old man vented his anger on me, he was fine. Actually, I know that Uncle Wen is really a good person, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so I didn't take it to heart. Seeing that I wasn't emotional, Uncle Wen sighed and handed me some money to go buy breakfast.

  I bought back some buns and porridge, and when we were eating, his anger had all disappeared. He seemed to have something on his mind and said to me: "Xiao Fei, I'll give you another week off tomorrow, I've got something to attend to, I need to go back to my hometown."

  As soon as I heard him say that, my heart suddenly felt a jolt. Didn't this old guy just go back during the New Year? How come he's going back again? So I asked him: "Uncle Wen, what's wrong? Haven't you just been back for a short while?"

  Wen Shu said to me: "I'm going back to help someone with their ancestor's grave, I'll probably be back in a week, you rest for now."

  I understood what he meant by saying that, it turned out that this old swindler was going back to cheat money, this old guy, really wants money to death, and the rabbit doesn't even eat the grass that has been turned over, unexpectedly this old swindler didn't let his own hometown people off for the sake of money.

  I often wonder about this old guy, he's already rich enough and not even married, what does he want so much money for? Everyone has their own thoughts.

  But that's okay, because I can now have time to investigate the clues left by Wu Chang, hoping to find some leads this week.

  So I nodded, and after Uncle Wen finished his meal, he went back to play cards again.

  At noon, I had just arrived home and contacted Liu Yudi, so I gave Liu Yudi a call to ask if she was free tonight and could come out for dinner. This little girl was very happy when she heard it was me and agreed, saying she wanted to eat a big meal with me.

  I spent the whole day in the store with nothing to do, so I started flipping through those old books again until it got dark outside, and then Wen Shu told me to get off work.

  I walked out of the store and gave Lao Yi another call, and then we took a taxi together to Harbin Normal University. As I looked out of the car window, I wondered if Lao Yi and I would be able to find any clues about that female ghost tonight?
