"No, it must be Vanilla. I clearly dreamed of her." The 'ghost' cried, holding his head. He squatted on the ground with a splitting headache, which made him feel so painful that he didn't know why.

"Brother Gui, are you okay? Are you hungry?"

"No, it's okay."

"Brother 'Ghost', can you walk?" The beggar may not know that 'Ghost' has a name, so he gave him the name 'Ghost' based on his appearance. Let's call him 'Brother Ghost'!

"Why did you call me 'ghost' brother?"

"My sister told me to call you 'ghost' brother."

"Who is your sister?" The 'ghost' walked out of the ruined temple with the support of the beggar. As he breathed in the fresh air, he looked at the green eyes at a loss and asked the beggar.

"My sister...can't tell you, but she said she will help you out and walk around when you wake up."

"What's your name?" Zhong Kui felt that the little beggar's body was so cold. When he got close to him, he felt a chill coming over him.

"Little chrysanthemum."

"Little chrysanthemum?" 'Ghost' squinted her eyes and murmured the name the beggar said with interest. As she walked under the shade of the tree, the joyful chirping of birds came to her ears. At the same time, she heard faintly in the distance.

There seemed to be the sound of water flowing and urchins playing. This feeling was very subtle. It made him involuntarily think of the scene that had been indelible in the depths of his memory.

Next to a reservoir, a group of unworldly children gathered around. They held homemade fishing rods in their hands, and with nervous and solemn expressions, they stared at the movement of the goose feather floats.

As they walked and thought about it, Little Chrysanthemum and 'Ghost' had already arrived in front of a natural pool. The water in the pool was quiet and clear. Looking up, they saw a pure natural cliff barrier in front of them, with white water columns pouring down.

, like a transparent water curtain sliding down the cliff, it is really spectacular and beautiful.

And sure enough, there were a few children as big as little chrysanthemums sitting by the pool. When they saw little chrysanthemums and the 'ghost' coming, they all looked up at them in silence.

The 'ghost' looked at their too pale faces and secretly wondered; Could it be that his appearance of being neither human nor ghost scared them? Thinking about this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What's wrong? Did I scare you?"

"No! Brother Gui, you're finally awake." One of the older children got up from the ground, with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to take over the little chrysanthemum. As he spoke, he revealed two cute little tiger teeth, which looked very cute.

Not bad, he has a pale face and a tiger-like head, which is very attractive.

But this child was as cold as the little chrysanthemum's hands. When I held him, it was so cold that the ghost couldn't help but shudder.

Following Little Huya's greeting, the other three or five children seemed to be afraid of him. They all watched quietly from a distance, not daring to take a step closer.

Little Huya was bolder. He wanted to hold the 'ghost''s hand, but Little Juhua glared hard and stopped him.

The children looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, they simply put aside the 'ghost' and grabbed the little chrysanthemum and shouted: "Sister Chrysanthemum, I'm hungry."

"Okay, we'll go back later when we're hungry." After Xiao Juhua finished speaking, she looked at the 'ghost' and said, "Brother Ghost, you can just wash up here."

In the eyes of "ghosts", these children may have been malnourished for a long time, so their complexions are abnormally pale and slightly cyan. They are all lifeless. If they grew up in a family with good conditions, they must live happily.

The arrival of the 'ghost' seemed to bring them happiness. The atmosphere was also very lively, with people playing in the water and washing their faces.

"I'm going to wash, and you're going to wash up too?" 'Ghost' said, squatting down, reaching out to grab some water, splashing it on his face and rubbing it.

"I won't wash it. My sister said it. I can't wash it too clean. It's fine just like this."

"Sister Juhua cannot be washed clean. Sister Xiaoqing said she is a girl and others will be bullied if they know she is good-looking."

"No, you're talking nonsense." Xiao Juhua got really angry and yelled at the short, dark-skinned child.

'Ghost' wiped off the water stains on his face and looked at the children giving him surprised looks. He smiled bitterly and said righteously: "Brother is ugly, isn't he? Are you scared?"

The children shook their heads and said in unison: "Don't be afraid, Sister Xiaoqing said you are a 'ghost' and are better than those people."

Is it Sister Xiaoqing again? The ghost frowned in doubt and was speechless. Then he comforted Xiaojuhua and said, "Don't be afraid. No one will dare to bully you in the future with your brother protecting you." Then he remembered something again and continued to read.

He asked the children, "Where are you from? Do you have a family?"

When the 'ghost' asked about their home, the children's expression suddenly darkened and they walked to the waterside silently.

Seeing this scene, 'Ghost' became more and more confused. Just when he wanted to ask something again, he was blocked by Little Huya. Little Huya came closer and squatted in the ear of 'Ghost' and whispered: "We are all orphans, there is no

Home, home is that ruined temple."

When the 'ghost' saw them, he carefully saw that there were six children here, including Xiao Juhua, there were seven children. They were all orphans? The older one, Xiao Huya, was probably thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one was...

He looks like a teenager. Could he be an orphan from Donghua Village and Threshold Village? Or an orphan from Tongchuan County?

Looking at the children's gloomy little faces, each one lowered his head and played with the water between his toes, the atmosphere that was still lively just now fell into an unusual silence because of one sentence.

The sound of the rushing waterfall is still there, the wind is blowing wildly, and the children's hair is messy.

‘Ghost’ hinted Little Huya to sit down, pursed his lips and said with a smile: “Do you like listening to stories?” When he asked this question, he was confident that no child could resist the temptation of stories.

The atmosphere was as quiet as a lake. When the 'ghost' asked this question, it was as gentle as the silent water surface. Like a pebble inadvertently dropped into the water, it disturbed the peace for a moment, causing ripples to appear on the water surface.

Similar.

"Want to listen"

"I want to listen too"

"Brother Ghost, tell me!"

"what story?"

Faced with the children's ardent expectations, the 'ghost' cast his eyes far away and watched the fluctuations of the waterfall water column falling into the pool, and his mind gradually returned to that unforgettable childhood.

From beginning to end, the children did not make a sound. They listened to the stories told by the "ghost" in trance one by one. Until the end, they still did not come out of the picture of the story.

The little Huya is a weird spirit, just like the ghost in his childhood. He rolled his big eyes, stared at the ghost and asked curiously: "Is the child born in the cemetery dead? He has no parents either..."

As he spoke, his facial expression suddenly became complicated. In a blink of an eye, his smile froze, his mouth curled up, and tears rolled out of his eyes. He could no longer hold back his sadness and burst into tears.

As soon as Little Huya took the lead, the rest of the children burst into tears. There was a lot of crying at the pool, and the 'ghost' was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He originally wanted to make the children happy, but he made them cry instead.

"Please don't cry. Can brother Zhong Kui apologize to you?"

Hi! This trick is really effective. He revealed his name in a hurry. The children immediately stopped crying and looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, with tears on their faces. It was so beautiful.

A funny look that makes you laugh or cry.
