Today is a rare time to see the sunshine.

After a continuous snowstorm in recent months, the snow outside is often half thick. And the thin cold sun, which is rare to see at the moment, also makes people's hearts warm.

After this period of hardship, I really understand the rarity of this moment.

Hou Tu stood downstairs at Chaoyuan and sighed faintly.

He won't say it, this ...... It may be the last sunshine in the world.

At the same time, Tsubaki looked at the same Bo Yang in Chengqi Building.

Yesterday, I suddenly returned home with Yu, saying that I missed my parents and wanted to get together more in this rare time. But the deeper reasons simply can't be spoken.

I'm not stupid, I understand a lot of things.

But he still pretended to understand stupidly, just a little bit of possibility.

Pinning your hopes on others is an extremely unreliable and luck-fighting thing, and your luck can only be said to be good since childhood, but it feels far from enough to achieve your goals.

If you don't have the ability to do it, you can only go with the flow and be at the mercy of others in many things.

In the last Gu Bird incident, he was undoubtedly a guy who was completely dragging his feet, and he was very unconscious. He has a lot of enthusiasm but only a shallow ability.

And for Kun...... It's the same.

It's not that I don't want to do anything, it's just that I can't do anything.

He is in charge of begonia flowers, not even complete begonias. It is destined to be only an assistant on the side, and it is too difficult to really fight forward.

Behind Chengqilou is a hundred thousand mountains, and as time progresses, after the tall golden crow turns into the mountain, the sunlight is obscured by it.

Tsubaki withdrew his eyes and turned to go home.

But at some point, there was a pale yellow letter paper at the head of his bed.

Tsubaki was a little surprised, but walked over and picked it up, and it said, "If you are still dissatisfied, let's go and burn the building after sunset." ”

Very elegant paper, the handwriting is very delicate and neat, but there seems to be a fishy smell contained in it. Tsubaki frowned, but the main reason for frowning was not this, and the fire burned the building.

The fire building is on the other side of the river, closer to the Chaoyang building where his grandfather is. It takes more than half an hour to walk from his own Chengqi Building, and this walled building has not been inhabited for a long time.

Because I heard that it was...... Unknown Building.

……….

It's like a ghost!

Tsubaki was a little angry.

He threw the piece of paper in the garbage basket at the beginning, and was not ready to take it seriously. But I don't know what's going on, I've been thinking about it all afternoon, and then I'm here when I come back to my senses after dinner.

In the dark and somewhat dilapidated walled building plaque is engraved with the three big characters of "Burning the Building", from the visual perspective of Tsubaki, the empty moon and the atmosphere of the fusion of the walled building are extremely strange.

If Tsubaki usually turned around and left, this is a mysterious world, and some mythical ghosts do exist here.

But now....it's all here, so let's go in and have a look.

The deserted walled building, the barren grass at the edge, and the dry well in the middle are nowhere to be found.

Legend has it that the reason why this place is called the Fire Burning Tower is because there was a demon here, and the existence of this demon even made the heavens unbearable, so they sent down a heavenly fire to seal it. Although the traces of the fire have been treated, the legend has been passed down from generation to generation.

Walking inside, Tsubaki's mood calmed down a little. I looked left and right, but I didn't see any sign of people.

"Are you looking for me? Little girl. ”

A hand abruptly rested on Tsubaki's shoulder, and it was an old woman with strange makeup. She smiled slightly, her thick red lips bright at this point.

Tsubaki was startled and leaned back and almost fell to the ground, but quickly took a few steps back.

"You're... Someone looking for me? ”

Tsubaki is not a fool, and it quickly becomes clear that the person in front of him should be the one who sent out the letter. But she looks like an old woman in her seventies and eighties, but she still wears as much makeup as a woman in her twenties. Wearing extremely deep white makeup, vermilion lipstick, and face and eyeshadow of the same color. The red left-hand suit is holding a red umbrella. These elements are intertwined to give Tsubaki an eerie feel.

It's not weird, and it's a taste that even needs to be whitewashed with youth in the face of aging.

"What a beautiful little girl, tsk, it's not me looking for you, it's you who came to me."

The special old woman smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and slightly corrected the mistake in Tsubaki's mouth.

The big mouse on her shoulder laughed similarly, its red eyes staring at Tsubaki with a swaggering glow in its pupils.

Tsubaki felt that it was all very weird. The deserted walled building in the middle of the night, the eccentric mother-in-law with heavy makeup, especially the mouse on her shoulder, made me even more creepy.

"If you're okay, I'll go back."

Tsubaki saluted, then turned around and left without looking back.

She didn't plan to let things go on, she came here inexplicably, and then saw this even more inexplicable old woman, which was really inappropriate for a girl who had just passed the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, let's talk again."

The old woman still kept Tsubaki in a special brisk tone, but Tsubaki's mind was extremely firm at this moment. Although I came here inexplicably, I don't plan to continue.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do..."

Tsubaki's words stopped suddenly, and the last word rested in his throat and couldn't be spit out.

The dry well in front of her suddenly spewed out countless mice, which made her pupils shrink instantly.

And the black rat quickly crawled out of it, and then surrounded Tsubaki. They are large or small, dull fur, but the horror is that each one actually has a face painted with makeup.

The white face, red eyes, and mouth all look extraordinary. And each one looked at himself, glaring at red-eyed and squeaking as if laughing.

Tsubaki couldn't hold back anymore and sat on the ground, then stretched his legs and hurriedly retreated, but he didn't take a few steps back as if he had reached the edge of the wall.

When I turned around, it was the old woman just now.

The rat wife also smiled at her and walked up to her, and then she saw all the rats hugging her, squeaking as if they were extremely happy.

Everything unfolds, and even in this state of fear, Tsubaki knows that the old woman in front of her is the ghost, and she shouldn't be called the rat woman.

"You... Aren't you afraid? ”

Tsubaki was scared, and her teeth chattered a little, but she saw the rat woman smiling, a smile that was more common than looking at herself.

"Why be afraid?" The rat woman touched the head of one of them, but asked rhetorically.

Why? Isn't this obvious?

When the rat woman said this, Tsubaki didn't know how to answer.

"Do you know the despair of being abandoned by everyone? Everyone sees you as ominous, the whole world hates you, you can only stay in the deepest and darkest damp corners without seeing the sun, you are alone. The corners of her mouth suddenly grinned upward, and a very dark expression flashed

"And only these rats are willing to accompany you...... So why be afraid of them? They are the only people who have been with me for thousands of years, and for thousands of years I can only interrely with them and amuse each other. ”

She slowly turned around and straightened her waist, her back hunched up, but the candlelight burning behind her stretched her figure very long.

In this way, the two people began to look at each other, and the eyes were the windows to the soul, and the first real communication was made through the eyes.
