    Wen Wan is my best best friend, but I did one thing that I felt sorry for her---that is, I stole her son's body before he was in his first seventh year. 1. I am recognized as a village beauty and a beauty in people's eyes. They say I am lively and enthusiastic, and everyone praises me for being cheerful and generous. But who knows how miserable my private life is! "Open the door! Open the door for me quickly!" Someone kept knocking on the door of my courtyard, "Damn money loser, Sangmenxing..." This is a stinky man smelling of alcohol, and he is also my nominal father. My stepfather's biggest hobby is actually not drinking, but gambling. But as the saying goes, nine times out of ten you bet, you lose. Anyway, I have never seen him win money. Every time he lost money, he would ask my mother for money to buy alcohol, and he would get drunk whenever he drank. Whenever he gets drunk, he will come back to take out his anger on my mother. I don't even know how many times my mother was beaten by him. Unfortunately, he can no longer hit my mother tonight, because now she is lying in a cold coffin. Yes, my mother is dead, but she didn't die of illness or being beaten to death by him. No one knows how she died. Some people say that my mother was possessed by an evil spirit and took her life because she was haunted by an innocent spirit. Anyway, she died very strangely, and before she died, she said a lot of crazy things that none of us could understand. Today is July 14th, which is also her first seventh day. But she could not close her eyes, they were as wide as bells, and she refused to close her eyes. I think she must still be thinking about someone else. I heard from the old people in the village that people's souls would come back on the first seven days, and I didn't know if it was true or not. I hid behind the door and quietly observed my mother's body through the narrow crack in the door. 3333
