"This is the nursery rhyme she hummed in the morning. It should also be one of the rules."
Seeing that Xi Yu was interested in the book in his hand, Li Shu raised his hand and handed it to him:
"That's where the note was found."
Children's books have few pages and are mostly illustrated.
Xi Yu read the entire content in two or three glances.
It tells the story of a princess who couldn't bear the long-term oppression of her vicious stepmother, and finally awakened and pushed her stepmother over the cliff with her doll friends.
In the illustration on the last page, the stepmother, wearing a purple wizard robe to symbolize evil, is pushed into the cliff by a rabbit doll with a frightened face.
The princess stood on the edge of the cliff and danced happily.
"Did you find anything?"
Xi Yu turned around and met Gu Qiao's eyes who appeared behind him at some unknown time.
"nothing."
Xi Yu closed the book, his expression dark and unclear:
"Nine o'clock is almost here, you should go back to your room."
As a father, Xi Yu naturally has to live in the same room as his mother.
Next door is the room of the three siblings, which is also the end of the corridor.
The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the corridor was only illuminated by a few wall lamps, making it look particularly eerie.
Before entering the house, Xi Yu glanced downstairs subconsciously.
It was a black as intense as ink.
Two red lights flashed in it, like the eyes of a devil.
Wandering greedily in the dark, patrolling.
Anyone who breaks the rules will be eaten up by it.
Xi Yu stopped looking and turned around to meet eyes that were the same as the red light.
"Why are you not sleeping yet?"
The girl's waist-length hair was spread freely. She was wearing snow-white pajamas and holding the rabbit doll in her arms.
In the darkness, her ruby-like eyes seemed to glow.
"I'm waiting for dad. Dad is back. Now, Xiaochong is going to sleep."
The girl said and climbed onto the bed, holding the doll and staring at Xi Yu unblinkingly.
Xi Yu looked at each other for a long time before speaking calmly:
"Remember to wear shoes next time, the ground is cold."
Xiaochong didn't seem to expect that Xi Yu would care about her. Until Xi Yu lay on the bed, the corners of her raised mouth did not drop.
"Now that he has a brother, he becomes a pet!"
The girl smiled and placed the rabbit doll between the two of them.
Xi Yu always slept lightly.
In the ghost story, it has reached the level where everything is in danger. She can open her eyes immediately if there is any disturbance in the outside world.
What's more, there is an unknown child lying next to him.
But this time, it was like I was stuck in a bottomless quagmire. I couldn't open my eyes and my brain became confused.
In a daze, Xi Yu felt that the surrounding environment began to change.
The dark room suddenly became brighter.
She fell down in the middle of the room, still holding the rabbit doll in her arms.
"Tell me! Why are you trying to steal your brother's toys?"
A woman stood beside her and kept tapping Xi Yu's head with her fingers. Pain swept through her body in the next moment.
Xi Yu lowered his head and saw bruises and scars all over his body.
"I don't."
A childish voice came from his mouth.
"You still say that! You lose money! You are a white-eyed wolf!"
Like a witness, but also like a bystander.
Scenes like a revolving lantern flashed before my eyes.
Depression and boredom were like a tide that was about to overwhelm her.
Before he indulged, Xi Yu felt something poking his face.
Eyes suddenly opened.
There was a little girl beside him.
Only the doll was left lying where it was.
Summoning the long sword, Xi Yu quickened his pace and opened the door.
Outside the door, blood-red lights flashed.
In the center of the living room, the girl was lying on her hands and knees, crawling quickly in a twisted state.
"Disobedient, disobedient!"
A sharp roar echoed throughout the villa.
"Mom is going to punish the disobedient child now!"
The floor was not high, and with the girl's maniacal laughter, Xi Yu held on to the railing with her legs and jumped down from the second floor.
The sound of landing was barely audible.
The girl uses all four limbs together and is extremely fast.
The face that was particularly sweet in the morning was now extremely distorted under the red light.
The jaw opened and closed to an incredible degree, and the shark-like sharp teeth kept biting.
In the kitchen, Li Shu and the others were holding kitchen knives in defensive postures.
There was no dead end in the open kitchen. Each of the three of them moved more quickly than the other. They climbed over the bar in a few seconds and narrowly avoided the girl's attack.
"enough!"
Seeing that the girl was about to climb over the bar, Xi Yu stepped forward in time and stretched out her long knife to block her move.
Before the fangs could be retracted, the long knife was bitten.
After a cry of pain, two bloody sharp teeth appeared on the ground.
The red light flashed for a few times and then turned unwillingly to a warm yellow.
The girl's twisted limbs also returned to their original positions.
She covered her mouth, which was bleeding from two knocked out teeth, and glared at the three people standing behind Xi Yu with a pair of blood-red eyes.
"It's so late, why don't you sleep?!"
Xi Yu's expression was serious and his voice was sharp.
The girl was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her voice trembled:
"These children are disobedient and go to the kitchen to steal food. Mother teaches them a lesson!"
"Okay! The lesson ends here. It's sleep time now. You should go back to your room and sleep."
It was too late to sigh that Xi Yu was in a ghost story, but he taught the ghost a lesson.
Realizing the meaning of Xi Yu's words, Qin He raised his hand to pull Li Shu back to the room.
Seeing that someone was about to leave, the girl stamped her feet anxiously, but Xi Yu was standing in the middle.
How can a mother resist her father?
The girl's thoughts turned around, looking at Xi Yu's expression a bit gloomy, and finally she sat on the ground and burst into tears.
The villa seemed to be alive, trembling with the girl's cries.
Like an earthquake.
The neatly arranged room became chaotic in an instant.
Xi Yu forced herself to steady herself amid the tremor.
"Why are you crying? You are already a mother, why are you sitting on the ground crying like a child!"
The vibrations stopped with Xi Yu's voice.
The tears in the corners of the girl's eyes have not dried up yet. She was crying one second, but she was laughing again the next moment.
"The moon is crescent, the mother laughs, and the children who don't come home lose their heads."
"The sun is shining, the sun is shining early, and Mr. Rabbit is running around."
She smiled, clapped her hands, and hummed the nursery rhyme over and over again.
"Mr. Rabbit, running around..."
The girl repeated this sentence over and over again, and finally blinked her huge eyes and looked at everyone.
"Mr. Rabbit is gone, I want a rabbit, mommy wants a rabbit!"
She laughed, a high-pitched laugh.
"If the rabbit cannot be found, the mother will kill the disobedient child. Tomorrow morning, I want to see my rabbit."
After saying that, the girl jumped back to the room.
"what happened?"
Xi Yu looked at the three people with extremely ugly expressions.
"I don't know," Li Shu shook his head with a gray face: "I fell asleep after entering the house. When I opened my eyes again, we were all in the kitchen, and then it was what you saw just now."
"Mr. Rabbit, is that the doll?"
Qin He frowned and thought back, and Gu Qiao echoed:
"Isn't she holding this thing all the time? It must be in the room!"
