On the streets of the small town of Qinghe.

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the black pressure pressed on the heads of the people.

It seems as if a heavy rainstorm could come at any time.

Such weather, in winter, is not common.

So it's a little weird.

"Big brother, is it going to rain?"

Xiaoluo bride poked her head out of Chen Beibei's pocket and asked him.

"yes, it's going to rain in a moment."

"I'm so worried about my nest."

Xiaoluo said with a frown, her face full of worry.

"Nest?"

"Well, I worked hard to make it. But it took me a week. ”

The bride replied.

"Cobwebs?"

"Hmmm......"

The cobwebs on the branches of the locust tree are very large cobwebs.

Almost bigger than any cobweb we've seen.

And in the middle of the cobweb, it is also a place where the branches and leaves of the old locust tree are densely woven, and the cobwebs are densely woven into the shape of a cave.

It's an airtight one, and when it rains, the rain can't penetrate the cobwebs and fall into the cave. 、

Such a cobweb does take a lot of time.

"It's okay, if it's broken, you can just live in my house."

"No, I like to be outside, inside the house during the day, there is no sun, and at night, there is no moon or stars, not even the wind that is always there. I can't stay in that place. ”

"Okay, let's hurry up then. Try to get home before your nest is destroyed by the wind and rain. ”

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The people on the street, like Chen Beibei, seemed to be in a hurry.

Apparently no one wants to be out there when a rainstorm comes.

Soon Chen Beibei and Xiaoluo bride came to the kindergarten in Qinghe Town.

The kindergarten in Qinghe Town was converted from an old house.

It was the house of my grandfather's generation, and this house used to be a commune canteen.

I heard that people from all over Qinghe Town eat at this place.

Everyone eats and works together.

It still sounds a little yearning, but Chen Beibei knows that life at that time is still very difficult.

On the beams of the house, a man was hanged.

I heard that the man was Wang Hu's grandfather, who was also a butcher and liked to eat meat.

He also died because he stole the meat of the commune and was discovered by the people.

In the end, he was ashamed to hang himself on the beams of the house.

That house was finally changed into a dormitory for the children of the kindergarten in Qinghe Town, who took a nap.

It's a big house, and the bed is actually a very long and wide plank.

Everyone laid out the quilt on it, and everyone slept together.

Wang Hu's grandfather never appeared.

Over time, it will naturally be forgotten by people.

The house has been weathered for almost 100 years.

The blue-gray bricks were full of potholes, and the white lime was coated layer after layer.

The roof is also a different color, old and new tiles, and every time there is a leak in a certain place, I go to that place to repair it.

Never done it properly.

The house doesn't seem to have much of a problem, the walls have always been like this.

Although it is full of potholes, it is full of messy paintings.

There are already some garbled words.

For example: "Li Xiaoxiu, your mother called you home for dinner." ”

"Wang Hu, you little bastard."

"Teacher Xiaomei, I like you......"

Many people have written on it, and it is impossible to tell which words were written by those people.

"Xiao Luo, you climb up to see if there is any problem on the roof."

Chen Beibei put the Xiaoluo bride on the wall, and the Xiaoluo bride quickly climbed up: "What kind of problem is there?"

"See if the tiles on them are likely to fall off, or if the wood supporting them is rotten."

"Oh......"

Green bricks are indeed very durable, and there have been no problems for such a long time.

But the wood on the roof is different.

If you come into contact with water often, it may gradually decay over a long period of time.

Especially on the roof, there are example plates nailed horizontally to vertical sticks.

It was a very thin slab of trees, and as long as it was used, it was used to support the tiles on the roof. The pressure is very small, so the selection of materials is generally more casual.

Chen Beibei is worried that there will be problems with those example boards.

When the rain falls, if there are children sleeping in the house, if the tiles hit people, it is possible to kill people directly.

"Big brother, this thickest wooden stick seems to be empty."

Xiaoluo bride leaned on the wall, looked at Chen Beibei, and said to him.

"The thickest?"

"Well, it's the one right in the middle of the roof."

Chen Beibei couldn't help but get nervous, if there was a problem with the girder, then the entire roof might fall off.

If the children sleep in the room, the consequences are very serious.

Chen Beibei went to borrow a ladder, and then climbed up to take a look.

The girders have indeed been emptied by insects, and the ends are also rained, often wet, and some of them are rotten.

Even if you can withstand the pressure on the roof now, one day, something will go wrong.

And those children's dreams may also become real.

The roof fell, crushing them all inside.

"Fortunately, I found it early, and this house can no longer be inhabited."

Chen Beibei said.

"Xiaoluo, come to my pocket, let's go."

The bride climbed into Chen Beibei's pocket and went downstairs with him.

The sky was still dark, and the sun was completely gone.

Although the sun should still be in the sky at this time, there is no longer a trace of light that can penetrate the thick dark clouds.

Chen Beibei returned to his home, found Chen Yan, and said to her: "Chen Yan, don't go to class tomorrow, give the students a holiday." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The beams of the house where the children sleep are no longer working. Then it may be cut off, and now it is raining again outside, and the dreams of children may become reality. ”

Chen Beibei said.

"Oh, in that case, then listen to you. I called the parents of the little ones to let them know. ”

"Well, but you'd better talk to them and find a way to find a better house to use as a school, which has been too long ago. It feels dangerous. ”

"Okay, I'll talk to them."

Chen Yan replied.

Although Chen Yan is only a teacher in the kindergarten of Qinghe Town.

But in a sense, he is the head of the kindergarten in Qinghe Town.

After all, in the kindergarten, in addition to her, there is only one aunt who cooks.

Night is coming.

The dark clouds in the sky still did not disperse, and the black pressure was piled up on the sky.

The moonlight could not cast a shadow on the earth.

The whole space was plunged into total darkness.

Chen Yan has already informed all parents that there will be no classes tomorrow.

Chen Beibei can also be regarded as relieved.

However, that weird dream still made Chen Beibei a little suspicious.

Obviously, all the little ones have an exact dream.

And this dream has also changed some tracks in reality.

This kind of thing is really not very common.

Dream.

What the hell is going on?

Before, the man also jumped downstairs by himself while he was asleep.

Is there anything that is involved?

At this time, Chen Beibei really couldn't think of the relationship between them.

The rain finally fell at night.

It was like a sky full of water that was torn open in an instant, and the rain poured down.

The dark world was shrouded in the sound of rain.

Heavy rain separated everyone.

At this time, everyone is lonely.

Chen Beibei slowly fell asleep.

In such an atmosphere, he was really in no mood to continue playing games.

Early the next morning.

The rain continued as it did last night.

The sky was gray.

The rain was already in the yard, accumulating a deep layer.

The bride was holding a large leaf in her hand, shielding herself from the rain. Her nest had been destroyed by the rain.

"Master, my nest is gone......"

Xiaoluo said aggrievedly.

The raindrops hit the leaves she was trying to lift, making her body tremble.

Such a large leaf is indeed a bit heavy for a small bride who is only as small as an egg.

"Let's go to my room in the next few days, and when the heavy rain passes, come out and make a small nest again."

Chen Beibei looked at Xiaoluo's bride and said to her.

"No, I'm sheltering my uncle from the rain."

When Chen Beibei first started, he already felt that the leaves held by Xiaoluo's bride were too big.

It's like a big sycamore leaf.

In terms of the size of the bride, there is no need for such large leaves at all, it turns out that she is helping the hanged ghost to make an umbrella.

Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eye and saw the hanged ghost hanging on the branch.

As the raindrops fell on him, they quickly passed through his body.

There was no trace left at all.

Obviously, the rain didn't have any effect on him.

But there was a faint smile on his face.

It's the kind of smile that is very warm and enjoyable.

Chen Beibei looked at the little bride who was struggling to hold the leaves, and the hanged ghost with a smile.

Didn't say what he found.

Let them be like this.

In the waterlogged yard, some weeds and dead leaves are slowly fluttering on the water.

Now it seems that it is not easy to go out.

Chen Beibei sighed softly and prepared to turn around and return to his room.

Although it was already past eight o'clock at this time, the sun was still not visible.

"Master, do you want to go out?"

A voice sounded, coming from above Chen Beibei's head.

Chen Beibei looked up and saw a pair of white legs, swaying gently outside the eaves.

It's the Snow Maiden!

"Well, I want to go to the kindergarten in Qinghe Town."

Chen Beibei replied.

"Are you not allowed to go out because of the water in the yard?"

"Hmm."

The yard is so big, and there is deep standing water everywhere. If you go straight out, your shoes will definitely get wet.

"I'll help you."

After the Snow Girl finished speaking, she jumped off the roof and landed steadily in front of Chen Beibei.

Then gently press your hands above the water.

"Ice and snow are coming!"

The stagnant water in the yard quickly froze and formed a thick layer of ice.

"Master, let's go, so that you don't get your shoes wet."

The Snow Girl looked at Chen Beibei and said lightly.

"Well, thanks for the help."

Chen Beibei cautiously walked onto the ice, and then left the courtyard.

The Snow Girl looked at Chen Beibei's disappearing back and showed a light smile.

Like the winter snow melts, spring returns to the earth.

The rain was pouring down, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

If there is any.

Just a figure picking up rags.

The wind and snow are unhindered, although I heard that when Brother Zhao was before, I don't know where I got a lot of money.

However, the money was just burned by him when he bought some fire paper and dead coins and went to his parents' graves.

When others call him stupid, he just laughs silly.

And there is no explanation.

After all, in the eyes of others, he was originally a fool.

Naturally, there is no reason for a fool to do something.

Explanations are redundant.

Brother Zhao didn't use an umbrella, but just put a white plastic film on his body that he didn't know where to pick it up.

Although it is not pretty, it can also prevent the rain from getting your clothes wet, and you can free your hands to pick up the rags.

Actually, it's still very convenient.

Chen Beibei did not stop, and went all the way to the kindergarten in Qinghe Town.

In the dim light, the kindergarten stood quietly in the heavy rain.

It has been standing like this for almost a hundred years.

Chen Beibei checked some of the kindergarten's easy-to-break areas again.

There is not much danger.

It's just that the roof of the room that existed as a dormitory seemed to tremble a little.

Or rather, tremor.

After all, it is a thing that has no life, no feelings.

Chen Beibei suddenly remembered that Wang Hu's grandfather hanged himself on the beam of that room.

Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eye and looked through the window.

The dimly lit dormitory was even more dim than the light outside.

The rain still hasn't stopped.

In the pitch black, Chen Beibei saw a man, floating in mid-air.

The body is vertical, and the hands and feet are naturally drooping, like a rag hanging on.

The translucent body told Chen Beibei that it was not human.

The person floats very high, very far from the ground. But it's very close to the beams.

Chen Beibei looked up and saw that the man was hung by a rope.

Obviously, this is probably the one who died before.

However, he didn't look at Chen Beibei.

His eyes didn't open, as if he was asleep.

Chen Beibei didn't know Chen Hu's grandfather, so he couldn't be sure if the ghost in front of him was him.

The light in the house is darker and you can't see it clearly.

The roof swayed, and so did the people hanging from the beams.

It's like the wind blowing a rag.

Chen Beibei didn't have the key to that room, so it was impossible to go in and check it.

As for the person hanging under the beam, there is no way to verify.
