When Sun Zhaoren heard this, he looked at Huan Xiao carefully and then said:
"I still don't know if you are a ghost? Don't ask so many questions. Have you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat? You just need to leave with me in five days."
"All right"
Huan Xiao nodded, knowing that she couldn't ask anything more from Sun Zhaoren now, and it would be disrespectful to ask any more.
Looking at the bed in the back room, it was a large double bed, enough for the two girls to lie on.
Although the environment here is a bit worse, it is still within Huan Xiao's acceptable range. At least the bed is clean.
Huan Xiao was hungry, so he took out a piece of bread from his backpack and finished it. He sat on the only clean stool and watched Sun Zhaoren put on the kerosene lamp.
Suddenly, Sun Zhaoren seemed to remember something again, turned around and warned Huan Xiao:
"By the way, my grandmother's house has a basement where food is stored. Remember not to go there, otherwise anything missing will be blamed on you. Do you understand?"
"alright, I got it"
"Don't wander around the village. There are many elderly people here and they don't like strangers."
"good"
Seeing that Huan Xiao was obedient, Sun Zhaoren relaxed his frown. She rubbed her eyebrows. She was young but did not have the vigor of a girl.
Huan Xiao looked at her strangely, wondering if Sun Zhaoren had some difficult problems to solve at school?
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Buckle, buckle, buckle"
In an instant, Sun Zhaoren put out the kerosene lamp and took Huan Xiao to hide behind the closet.
Sun Zhaoren covered Huan Xiao's mouth and stared at the window of this room with clear eyes. From the window, he could see the swaying shadows of trees outside.
With the faint light outside, Huan Xiao also looked towards the window. The black tree image was a monster walking in the darkness, which could take away people's lives at any time.
"Buckle, buckle, buckle"
"Grandma Sun...I'm Xiaohong, grandma, I'm here to find you. Can you open the door for Xiaohong?"
It was the voice of a little girl, and her lively and cheerful voice was very pleasing to the ear.
But Grandma Sun, who lived in the back room, didn't respond. Sun Zhaoren, who covered Huan Xiao's mouth, was trembling all over, as if he had encountered something he was afraid of.
Xiao Hong, who did not hear a response outside the house, did not leave immediately. Instead, she kept knocking on the door with her hand and waited persistently for the owner of the house to open the door.
It's hard to imagine that a child can have such perseverance.
...After about ten minutes, Xiaohong seemed to be tired of knocking, and said in a crying voice:
"Don't Grandma Sun like Xiaohong the most? Why are you ignoring Xiaohong... Wuwuwu Xiaohong is so scared outside alone. Grandma Sun, let Xiaohong go in."
"There are bad guys out there who are trying to catch Xiao Hong... Xiao Hong hates them so much!"
"Grandma Sun, Grandma Sun, give Xiaohong a candy. Xiaohong hasn't had candy for a long time... Xiaohong is so cold and lonely..."
The little girl outside kept crying, but no one in the house made a sound.
Afterwards, Xiaohong seemed tired of crying, and there was no sound outside the house.
But Sun Zhaoren's hand covering Huan Xiao had no intention of letting go, and he continued to stare at the window.
I saw it, a few seconds later.
A young figure appeared in the dark window.
A little girl of about four or five years old appeared in a conspicuous dark red dress with cute twin tails.
Huan Xiao couldn't see its face clearly, but just from the horrific wrinkles on the girl's skin and her blood-red eyes, she could tell that the girl was not a normal person.
Its eyes carefully looked around the room several times, but because Huan Xiao and Sun Zhaoren were hiding behind the cabinet, just out of sight of them, Xiao Hong didn't get to see anyone as she wished.
Looking at the empty room, Xiaohong seemed to be disappointed and gave up and drifted to the right of the window until she completely disappeared by the window.
At this moment, Sun Zhaoren's hand covering Huan Xiao tightened, as if he was afraid that Huan Xiao would make some move.
She pulled Huan Xiao back hard and sobbed softly uncontrollably.
Huan Xiao patted her hand comfortingly, but Sun Zhaoren thought that Huan Xiao wanted her to let go, so he shook his head desperately with pleading in his eyes.
Now Sun Zhaoren was as if he had encountered a perverted murderer, shrinking like a leaf in a rainstorm.
Huan Xiao saw her so frightened and panicked, so she stopped moving.
As a person with ghost energy, Huan Xiao can clearly see that the ghost outside has not left, but is hiding under the window and has been lurking.
What surprised her was why Sun Zhaoren came back today but seemed to be too familiar with the ghost called Xiaohong. He could even guess that it pretended to leave but was still hiding nearby.
Listening to what Xiaohong just said, it seems that he was a child who had a good relationship with Grandma Sun during his lifetime. Even after his death, he did not forget Grandma Sun. Even after turning into a ghost, he came to Grandma Sun's house to beg for sweets.
Moreover, why didn’t Grandma Sun leave Huai Village when the road out of the village appeared when she knew there was a ghost? They couldn’t still have feelings for the ghost, right?
Sun Zhaoren said before that there are not only Grandma Sun in this village, but also other elderly people. Their families know that there are ghosts in this village, so why don't they take the old people out of the village?
...There were too many things that she couldn't figure out, so Huan Xiao decided to let herself go. She only had to follow Sun Zhaoren and leave the village in five days. She would not care about other things.
The leaves rustled outside the window.
A few minutes later, as Huanxiao expected, Xiaohong's head reappeared on the window.
This time, she stuck her head into the gap in the window, getting closer to where Huanxiao and the others were hiding.
"Sister, is Sister Sun at home? Xiaohong came to play with Grandma Sun...Sister, sister! Why don't you open the door! Why don't you open the door!!!"
Apparently it didn't see anyone on the bed, so its tone became increasingly violent.
The cold atmosphere is rampant in the house. There is no air conditioning, but it is better than turning on the air conditioning.
Sun Zhaoren's body was shaking so much that Huan Xiao thought she was afraid, but when she felt the cold touch on her shoulder, she realized that Sun Zhaoren was not afraid, but crying...
It seems that the ghost named Xiaohong had a good relationship with Sun Zhaoren during his lifetime. Even if Xiaohong wanted to kill her, she would not be worried about her own life at the first moment, but would be sad for Xiaohong's death.
Xiao Hong squatted outside the house for a long time without giving up, as if knowing that no one wanted to pay attention to it, it stopped barking.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiaohong left unwillingly.
But as Xiao Hong left, other ghosts came to harass the small house one after another.
"Buckle, buckle, buckle"
"Is anyone there? Come out and play with me."
"... Wuwuwu, my poor son, mommy can't forgive you, mommy is wrong, come out quickly, don't blame mommy, okay?"
"Sister...where has my sister gone? She can't be found. Have you seen my sister?"
"...Sister Zhaoren, I came to play with you. Let's go to the grove at the head of the village to play. The wild flowers have newly bloomed there and they are so beautiful. Don't you like them very much? Let's pick them to make garlands... ...You and I, we will be good sisters for life."
Some of the ghosts outside were looking for people, and some were acquaintances with Grandma Sun and Sun Zhaoren. Their shrill voices were accompanied by screams, which made people panic.
Huan Xiao knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
