Orange didn't dare to go forward. There happened to be a small path nearby. Orange hurriedly ran into the path, turned left and right to the side of the road, and returned home in fear.

She was really scared during the day. Orange's heart was pounding, so she went to bed early.

Shi Lei covered his head and said to her, "Juzi, my head hurts so much. I don't want to go to the crematorium, but that woman is holding me tightly. Please save me."

Orange said: "Where is the woman? Why can't I see her?"

Shi Lei said: "She said I like her and must take me away. I don't want to go with her. Juzi, please send her away quickly. I'm so scared."

Juzi was anxious to move forward, but she couldn't move. Suddenly, Shi Lei raised his head and smiled at Juzi. He said, "Juzi, live well. I'm going to travel around the world."

Orange said loudly, "Where are you going to travel around the world? Come back soon."

But in the blink of an eye, Shi Lei disappeared. Ju Zi was so anxious that she shouted, "Shi Lei."

Orange woke up, it turned out that she was dreaming again.

Juzi thought to herself that it was really painful to earn so little money and she was torturing herself with dreams every day. She thought that when she got to school, she would tell Shi Lei about her dreams.

The next day, when Juzi arrived at school, she heard that Shi Lei had an accident. Juzi hurriedly asked her classmates: "What happened? What happened to Shi Lei?"

The classmate said: "He committed suicide. He jumped onto the train on the track right in front of his house."

Orange said, "That's impossible! I saw a train run over someone yesterday. It was a woman!"

The classmate said: "Two people died together. It is said that the woman was his childhood friend."

Juzi frowned. How could Shi Lei commit suicide? He was still looking forward to the future yesterday.

Orange could not believe that Shi Lei's words about how a girl could not send a boy off were not just talk. After Orange left, he followed her. When the train came, Shi Lei wanted to hide, but he was drunk and his feet did not obey him. When he fell, he was swept under the wheels by the wind from the train.

Juzi ran to Shi Lei's house like crazy. Shi Lei didn't send her to the crematorium, but left her on the door panel on the ground in the yard.

Shi Lei's face was covered with a white towel. His mother was sitting beside him crying. Juzi was squatting next to Shi Lei and crying loudly.

After crying for a long time, Orange finally stopped crying. She looked at Shi Lei carefully. He was still wearing the same clothes that had turned white after washing yesterday, but the scarf she gave to Shi Lei was wrapped around his brother's neck.

Juzi stood up and grabbed the scarf, saying sternly, "This is my birthday gift to Shi Lei. What right do you have to wear it around your neck? Aren't you afraid that Shi Lei will come and ask for it in the middle of the night?"

This sentence scared his brother so much that he trembled. Shi Lei's stepfather glared at Juzi, but Juzi ignored him and put the scarf around Shi Lei's neck.

It rained at night and the weather is particularly cold today. Yesterday everyone was wearing only one piece of clothing, but today many people put on coats, which was still a bit chilly.

Orange looked at Shi Lei's worn and thin clothes, and remembered that there was a saying that the road to the underworld was very cold and one had to wear cotton clothes. Orange hurried out to buy a cotton jacket for Shi Lei.

Orange came to the mall. Because the cotton coats were not on the shelves yet, she searched for a long time before finding a merchant selling them. She also bought a pair of cotton shoes and returned to the Shi family.

The cotton-padded jacket could no longer be worn, so Orange cut off the zipper, put it on Shi Lei inside out, and then changed his cotton shoes.

Shi Lei's mother secretly said to Ju Zi: "Thank you, girl. Shi Lei has never worn such a nice cotton coat and cotton shoes in his life."

Juzi glared at her and thought, how dare you say that! A mother doesn't even protect her own son and allows his stepfather to abuse him. It is said that a mother is strong, but she didn't see that in Shi Lei's mother.
