"Then you decided to go to Xiangxi?"

"Well, I'm definitely going to go, but it's no less dangerous than last time, so don't go so many people."

"Okay, then I'll go, don't go to the others."

"Why? Count me in. Lan Lan was afraid to go to Hunan, so she didn't go. ”

"Who...... Who's afraid?! You say one more! You say one more! Stinky Fat Sail! ”

Beijing

Xiaoli bungalow yard to be demolished but not demolished

At some point, the damaged walls were re-built with new bricks, plastered putty and painted, and the slogans and slogans for demolition were gone. The courtyard is divided into several areas, and the small flowers and trees that have just been planted stand out.

These changes were naturally made by "Brother Chaoyang Zhong", and he didn't dare to reveal the details of that "sister" in the end, and no one ever disturbed this lonely courtyard again...... It is rumored that Brother Nazhong has since retired to the rivers and lakes, and has cultivated Buddhism without asking about disputes......

In the house, there are still Xiaoli, Zhang Fan, Lu Yushan, Lan Lan and Sang Man, but there is no delicate Youji, and she has not been seen since Ah Bi. Xiao Li went to the "Gongti Nightclub" a few days ago and informed the king of Yama of the news he had, who was very surprised, but the affairs of the underworld could not be separated from him no matter what, so he sent the judge Wei Zheng, Zhong Kui and the ghost general Madame Xian to lead the hundred people to the eighteen hells, which is not to be mentioned later. Before leaving, Xiaoli found Niu San'er and asked Youji about the situation after she came back, and the latter didn't know much, although Niu San may have something to do with saving Chu Yuan, but Xiaoli really didn't want to pursue these things anymore.

Xiaoli finally decided to go to Xiangxi, Hunan Province to investigate, and he and Lu Yushan analyzed that the information that Lan Lan dug up from the mouth of the child-eating ghost in Shanghai was reliable, but if this matter was really related to the drought, it was estimated that the danger was no less than that of Ah Nose Prison, so there was disagreement on the issue of who to go.

"This news was found by me and Sang Man!" Lan Lan said with a hard mouth: "If you want to go, it won't be your turn, hmph-"

"That's—"

"Bell bell bell bell—"

Xiaoli was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Yushan's phone call.

"Hey ——?" Lu Yushan answered the phone.

"Third Master!"

A little boy's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Third Master?" Zhang Fan leaned over in surprise and asked, "Yushan, you turned out to be the reincarnation of a sand monk!" ”

"Don't fool around! Go aside! ”

Lu Yushan pulled away Zhang Fan, who was smiling hippie, and continued to ask the phone: "Which one?" ”

"Third Master! It's me! The voice on the other end of the phone said excitedly:

"I'm Zhao He!"

"Zhao He?" Lu Yushan really didn't have much impression of the name.

"Are the master and the second master all right?!"

Lu Yushan then remembered that a little boy from Changping posted a post on the hunter's "Bounty Forum" before, and finally solved the ghost attached to his hair child with Xiaoli and Zhang Fan, and when he left, Lu Yushan also gave the little boy a copy of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". (See chapters 12 and 13 for details.) ）

That little boy is called Zhao He.

"It's you——? What's the matter? Lu Yushan asked.

"Hmm...... Somewhat. Zhao He seemed to be a little hesitant. Can you come to me? ”

"Master, has been a little busy lately, is there something urgent?" Lu Yushan's excuse was more tactful.

"Well......" Zhao He whispered: "Third Master, we have a playmate named Ran Ran in the same village, her parents died a few years ago and went to an orphanage, and now they may have some things in the courtyard that are not very good......

Changping District

night

A private orphanage

"Teacher Hua! Are you saying that when it's Christmas, Santa Claus will come in from the roof and give us presents?! ”

"I want mom and dad as a gift!"

"Don't be stupid! Who will give you a big living man! Santa Claus can't move either! ”

"Hahahaha——!"

"There is no such thing as Santa Claus! You've all been deceived! ”

A loud voice interrupted all the discussions, and the spacious room fell silent for an instant, only to see dozens of children lying on the beds side by side, a pair of small eyes looking at the person who had just spoken—this girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, obviously much older than the other children.

"Ranran-" A middle-aged woman with a rather kind appearance walked over, stroked the girl's head, approached and whispered: "The younger brothers and sisters are still young, you are all big children, let them have some expectations, okay——? ”

The little girl didn't answer, pouted, lifted the quilt and lay down

"Okay, okay, Sister Ran Ran is sick and not feeling well, it's late, let's go to sleep!" The middle-aged woman touched the child and patted the child: "Teacher Hua to see which little angel is the most well-behaved-"

Not to mention that it really works, as soon as the words fell, the children got into the quilt and stopped making a sound. The middle-aged woman pursed her lips and smiled, glanced again before going out, and after confirming that everything was okay, she turned off the overhead light with a "snap", and then the door was also closed.

"There's no Santa Claus at all!" In the bed, Ran Ran leaned over and thought, "Mom, Dad, teacher, they are all liars!" Ran Ran's tears soaked the bedding endlessly.

A car accident during a trip the year before last caused Ran Ran to lose several of her closest family members, and the unaccompanied Ran Ran finally came to this orphanage, where it is common to have abandoned children when they were infants, many of whom have physical and mental defects. Like Ran Ran, who is in his teens and is able-bodied, is still the first. Teacher Hua knew very well in her heart that it would take a long, long time for a child like Ran Ran to integrate into and accept the life of the orphanage.

Teacher Hua is the dean here, and the only teacher, because of lack of funds and unable to recruit staff, he took over almost all the affairs of the orphanage, and never rested for a day. Fortunately, there are a lot of volunteers in normal times, so that this small courtyard can survive.

"I hate it here! Hate the teacher! I hate these little kids! Ran Ran thought to herself, suddenly lifted the quilt, and angrily felt the darkness and poked to the door. I want to go home! Woo...... Woo ...... "Ran Ran thought about the story of her parents at night, thought about her grandparents and grandparents holding her, and thought about those playmates in the village.

"I want to ......"

Turning left and right, I came to a long corridor, the surrounding was frighteningly quiet, Ran Ran stopped thinking, looking at everywhere it was pitch black, and it felt hollow when I walked. "There's not going to be anything out of nowhere...... Ran Ran thought to herself.

"Mom and Dad—"

Ran Ran was scared, turned around and wanted to walk back, but he tripped over something with a pain under his feet, "Poof-" fell to the ground, the ground was very cold, Ran Ran didn't care about the pain and hurriedly got up, stood in this huge corridor and grabbed both sides and choked up: "Teacher Hua, Teacher Hua, woo woo woo......"

"Why did you come out tonight...... What about the others? ”

A faint voice sounded over there, and Ran Ran hurriedly moved over the wall as if she had found a life-saving straw.

"Huh...... Aren't you the same, if it weren't for my sister's care, we would have died a long time ago...... How about doing more work? ”

It seems that there is another person.

"Makes sense...... Let's get to work! I can't finish cleaning here, and it's terrible for my sister to get angry. ”

The man who spoke first reminded.

"Sister's temper, but it's well known, haha......"

"Boom-"

Listening to the voice, one of them was gobbling up something, and the other was sweeping the floor.

"Teacher Hua said that many uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters would come to volunteer at night to help us clean and cook, and not let us get up to disturb them." Ran Ran thought as she walked, and finally came to the front of the room, Ran Ran stood at the door and whispered: "Uncle, I can't find a place to sleep, can you ......"

Before Ran Ran finished speaking, he saw the two people in the room turn around and look over, in the darkness, Ran Ran could also see two pairs of bright beast eyes, and the two swollen noses and wide mouths were very clear. One was holding a broom, while the other was crouching on the ground, and beneath him was a mutilated corpse that smelled of a pungent fish, and an arm could be seen turning back and forth in the chewing mouth......

"Ah——!h

A scream came from somewhere in the orphanage......
