"Brother—"

This is a miscellaneous courtyard area, a quiet courtyard wall suddenly sounded a bell-like call, followed by a rush of footsteps "stepping" sounded, and it was quiet at the gate of the courtyard. Looking at it from afar, a small head poked out of the courtyard gate - it turned out to be a little girl of eight or nine years old, with big eyes blinking around looking for something, and finally the eyes finally stopped in one direction, and shouted:

"Brother, why are you going?!"

"Shhhh——!h

I saw a boy a few years older not far away, who was originally shrunk and was waiting to go away, when he heard the girl find himself, he hurriedly withdrew his step, turned around and put his index finger to his mouth and made a "quiet" gesture.

"Where are you going?!"

The little girl asked aloud as if she didn't understand what she meant.

The little boy quickly clasped his fists and bowed a few times, and waved his hand at the little girl. Seeing this, the latter smiled "hehe", jumped over, and called out like a bell:

"Brother—"

The boy's originally frowning brows loosened, and with a "hum" smile, he scratched the little girl's nose and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Good!"

The little girl repeated with great joy: "Let's go!" Pulled the boy's cuffs and walked in front: "Don't let the sail and the shirt wait for a long time!" ”

The boy smiled wryly and shook his head, and just after he was far away, a scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard again—

"Xiaoli! Tong'er! Where did the two little bunnies go again——!? ”

…………

"It's coming! Fast! ”

"Come here!"

I saw a few teenage boys gathered in the corner of the wall not far away, waving their little hands to the other side.

"I'm waiting for you, why is it so slow!? Huh——? ”

The voice came from one of the fat boys, whose eyes were squinted and always looked grinning. Just when there were other complaints, the words choked back.

"Xiao ...... Xiao ...... Red...... Tongtong Tongtong...... You, you, you...... How...... How...... Come, come, come...... Here it comes! ”

Who would have thought that this fat boy would become nervous, and his stammering speech was already unfavorable.

"Poof-" The person on the other side laughed when he saw this, but it was a little girl of eight or nine years old.

"Good, good...... All right! I, I, I, ...... We're ...... Hurry up and get out...... Let's go! Next to the little girl stood a boy, learning the fat boy's stammering language. Take a closer look, aren't they the brother and sister who ran away from the aforementioned mention?

"Xiaoli! You dare to learn from me again! The fat boy didn't stumble this time, and pointed at the boy and said fiercely: "I...... I'm not going to play with you! ”

Everyone laughed for a while, who would have thought that he would hold back such a sentence for a long time.

"Brother-don't bully Fanfan!"

The girl who was called "Xiaotong" by the fat boy complained about Xiao's deviance.

"Good, good...... All right! ”

Xiao Li, but still learning to stutter.

Everyone laughed again, and then saw that the fat boy's face was flushed, although he was angry, he obviously had nothing to do with the brother and sister.

"How's it going?"

Xiaoli suddenly became serious and asked to the side.

"Nobody...... As rumored ......"

The fat boy looked around and whispered back.

Xiaoli frowned and nodded thoughtfully, there was no more laughter around, and everyone held their breath, just waiting for the person in front of them to make an idea.

"Go ——!"

Xiao Li was firm, and everyone seemed to have been looking forward to it for a long time, and they couldn't hide their joy, and left with cheers.

"Tong...... Tongtong ...... Red...... You, you, you...... You haven't said it yet...... Today...... Today...... How...... How did it come? ”

I heard the fat boy's stammering question not far away.

…………

Beijing

Chaoyang District

CBD nearby

This street is very quiet, with shade along the street, and it is lined with "slab buildings" from the 80s.

"Shh......h Be ...... quietly."

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Somewhere behind this row of buildings, countless black shadows sprang out of the corner, leaning against the wall and walking quickly.

"Stop ——!"

The person at the front made a gesture, and the crowd that followed hurriedly stopped. The former turned around, it was Xiao Li, who had made the decision before, and only heard him whisper: "Be softer when a while passes......"

"Hmm!"

The children couldn't hide their excitement and nodded vigorously.

The crowd leaned over and peeked along the wall, and at the end of it was an open courtyard door, and just after entering the courtyard was a communication room, and through the window, there was a bed and a pair of tables and chairs—simple and clean. On the table was a stack of notes, a fountain pen, and an old teapot.

Xiao Li stood on tiptoe through the window and looked at the tea jar, only to see that the tea leaves inside had dried up, and said with a long breath: "Okay, as rumored, he is really not here for the past two days!" ”

It turned out that the "rumor" that the children were talking about was actually a gatekeeper's rest day, and the people who were originally short immediately straightened up their waists and rubbed their boards and said, "This is too tiring, I knew that I would have come in directly." ”

"Don't say that, you didn't know how fierce he was the last time we came."

"yes, that time really scared me half to death, I ...... even dream at night"

"I'm peeing my pants! I heard what your dad said at the parent-teacher conference that day! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere seemed to be much more relaxed, so they walked in in a big way.

The courtyard was as wide as a football field, but the ground was extremely rugged, surrounded by the remains of broken buildings, and the annual rings on several thick stumps that had been cut down had long been weathered and brittle, who would have thought that behind such a high wall would be so desolate?

"That's it......"

A boy with glasses pointed to the deepest part of the yard where there was the only intact building, which was not a house, because it was so small that it was almost cramped for two bicycles. The sand on the brick walls of the small house fell off into pieces, and the doors and windows were only frames.

"Shirt ......"

The group gathered around and stopped in front of the doorway, and someone asked the bespectacled boy, "Is it really ...... inside?" ”

"I've heard grown-ups talk about it."

The boy who was called "Yushan" pushed his glasses and replied, "This yard used to be an elementary school, we all know that. ”

"Yes, my mom goes to school here." Someone should make peace.

"Well—here—" Whisper continued, gesturing around, "it's a small playground, and this little house is in the corner of the playground. ”

"I heard from the adults that this little house was a sacred place for school exploration at that time." Xiaoli on the side added: "Only senior students dare to approach, it's just ...... No one dared to go in. It is said that a player accidentally threw the ball into the house and went in to pick it up......" Xiaoli said in a low voice.

"And then?" Everyone asked with bated breath.

Xiaoli looked around, bent down and said, "Then ......"

"Never came out again!!!!!!"

"Ah!!!!!!!h

"Hahahahaha!!"

Xiaoli jumped up and shouted, everyone was really startled, and then looked at Xiaoli smiling and leaning forward and backwards.

"Brother!!

Xiaotong said stubbornly: "You even scared me!" ”

"That's it, Xiaoli!"

I only heard the fat boy "Zhang Fan" also complain, but when he saw Xiaotong looking at him, he stammered nervously: "Lian Lian...... Tongtong ...... Tongtong ...... It's all ...... Scaremongering! ”

"That, that...... I, I, I, I, we...... Hurry up and get in! ”

Xiaoli didn't stop laughing, and walked in with Zhang Fan to speak.

"Wait for me! Don't leave me behind! ”

When the children saw that someone had entered the house, they couldn't help but be bold enough to follow after a few points, but they were afraid that they would be left alone in the rest of their lives.

"Ah——!h

Xiaoli screamed softly, and everyone subconsciously retreated to the door.

"Xiaoli! What the hell are you doing?! Someone annoyed.

"This house ......"

Xiao Li turned his head and pointed over and said.

The rest of the people poked their heads out to see what kind of house was this?

Where the size of a palm, there was only one staircase extending down - it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Whew-"

Xiaoli stretched out his hand and hooked it a few times, and Yuyi immediately understood what it meant and handed over the phone.

"Smack-"

A bright light shone out, illuminating the bottom of the stairs.

"Let's go......"

Xiaoli gave a soft order, and everyone followed the bright light......
