After he returned, every time he saw Zhou Tao, he would think of Ma Junmei's death, and an inexplicable anger would arise in his heart. He even had the idea of ​​tearing Zhou Tao into pieces.

Then the cruel fact happened. One day Zhou Hai asked Zhou Tao to meet him by the river, which is where we are now.

More than ten years ago, this was a small river, but it was later filled up due to the development of the city.

Zhou Hai was just angry and wanted to teach Zhou Tao a lesson by beating him up. Unexpectedly, during the fight, Zhou Tao's head hit a small stone.

Zhou Tao felt a warm liquid flowing out of the wound, blurring his vision.

He raised his head, but felt dizzy. There were black shadows in front of his eyes, a buzzing sound in his ears, and then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Zhou Hai was in a state of dismay. After a moment of stunned silence, he sent Zhou Tao to the nearest hospital and called his parents.

I saw the doctor walking out of the operating room shaking his head.

The moment the doctor shook his head and walked out of the operating room, Zhou Hai's nervousness instantly reached its peak.

His eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, as if time had stopped.

The parents also gathered around anxiously, trying to find a glimmer of hope from the doctor's expression. However, the doctor's silence and shaking head made their hearts sink to the bottom.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" Zhou's father asked tremblingly, with obvious crying in his voice.

The doctor took a deep breath and said slowly: "We have tried our best, but the patient's condition is very serious..."

The three of them burst into tears, unable to accept this cruel fact. They tightly grasped the doctor's arm, praying for a miracle to happen.

"Doctor, please try again! There must be a way!" Zhou's mother cried.

The doctor shook his head helplessly: "We have done everything we can, but the patient's injuries are too serious..."

The family was completely broken-down, they collapsed to the ground, and burst into tears. The whole corridor was filled with an atmosphere of despair and sadness.

At this moment, they felt extremely helpless and lonely. They didn't know how to face this sudden blow, nor did they know what to do in the future.

Zhou Tao stood there quietly, staring at everything in front of him with a dull look.

His heart was filled with regret and self-blame, and he couldn't believe that he would make such a mistake.

He recalled the scene and how everything happened so suddenly.

They were just arguing and pushing each other, and he accidentally pushed Zhou Hai down, and Zhou Hai's head hit a small stone... He tried to stop it, but it was too late.

He saw his parents' grief-stricken faces, heard their cries and shouts, and felt as if his heart was torn apart, not knowing how to face it all.

He regretted his impulsiveness and recklessness, and regretted not controlling his emotions. He knew that no matter what he did, he could not make up for his mistakes.

After Zhou Tao's funeral was completed, he sadly told his parents everything.

He decided to turn himself in and take responsibility for his crime. He knew it was the only thing he could do.

I hope that through my actions, I can alleviate my parents’ pain and bring some peace to my heart.

When the parents learned the whole story, they were also heartbroken, but they had already lost one son, and they couldn't afford to lose another.

They told Zhou Hai that it was not his fault, that he did not do it on purpose, and stopped him from turning himself in.

He even took better care of Zhou Hai, fearing that he might get upset.

But the more his parents were like this, the more ashamed he felt. It was his wrong decision that harmed Ma Junmei and Zhou Tao, and made his parents extremely sad.

Seeing his father's hair turn white overnight and his mother look ten years older, he felt even more guilty.

He often sat alone in a dark corner, tears flowing silently. The remorse in his heart followed him like a shadow, piercing his soul like a sharp blade.

The wrong decisions he had made in the past kept replaying in his mind, every detail clear and causing him excruciating pain.

He blamed himself for his ignorance and impulsiveness and could not forgive his mistakes.

As time went on, this regret gradually consumed him.

I gradually lost interest in life, stopped socializing with friends, and even lost my passion for the things I once loved.

His mood became increasingly depressed, and he often fell into deep self-blame and despair.

The shadow of depression shrouded him, making him feel extremely lonely and helpless.

He tried to escape from reality, but no matter where he went, the regret in his heart followed him.

He knew he needed help, but he didn't know how to ask for it.

Afraid of being laughed at and blamed by others, afraid of having one's vulnerability exposed in broad daylight.

Self-blame and regret eventually eroded his heart. A few months later, with apologies to his parents, he chose the same path as Ma Junmei.

He bought a bottle of sleeping pills, went to the river again, took them, lay quietly on the riverbed, and ended his life.

Because of too much regret and self-blame, he stayed in this world and became a wandering ghost.

He had many unfulfilled wishes. He wanted to say sorry to Ma Junmei in person and see his parents again.

He couldn't imagine what a blow it would be for his parents to lose two sons in a row. Fortunately, he and Zhou Tao still had a younger sister.

Otherwise, parents might lose the courage to live.

At this point, he was already sobbing.

I understood some things, but what I couldn't understand was why Zhou Tao came out to cause trouble after so many years.

Could it be that Zhou Tao also did not report to the underworld like him? And it was obvious that it was not Zhou Hai who touched the girls' buttocks on the road.

So I asked, "After so many years, how come Zhou Tao showed up and harassed passers-by?"

He frowned slightly and was about to tell us something, but suddenly his expression changed and an evil expression appeared on his gentlemanly face.

"Little girl, you're pretty, but you're not my type."

His wicked smile scared me, and I instantly realized that the Zhou Hai in front of me had become Zhou Tao.

Could it be that the two souls have merged into one? My heart tightened and I asked hurriedly.

"You, you are Zhou Tao."

"So what? Did my damn brother tell you something? I advise you to mind your own business. You can't control me."

His voice was cold and challenging.

Before I could react, Zhou Tao's hand had already waved towards me, and I instantly felt a cold breath like a sharp sword coming towards me.

I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. I stood there in a daze, not knowing how to deal with this sudden change.

At this time, Uncle Huang, who was standing next to me, turned into a weasel and jumped over to wrestle with Zhou Tao's soul in front of him.

After several rounds, Zhou Tao's spirit clearly had the upper hand. I secretly thought that this evil ghost with more than ten years of experience could have such profound skills that even Uncle Huang couldn't beat him.

I instinctively took out the ghost-exorcising dragon staff and swung it towards Zhou Tao, but it only made a slight crackling sound when it hit Zhou Tao and did not cause any harm to him at all.

The knocked down Zhou Tao glared at me fiercely, and actually left Uncle Huang and attacked me.
