Chapter 71: Heaven is in the Well
The midday sun was a little dazzling, and the woman and boy stood in front of the haunted house, even after being explicitly rejected by Chen Ge, they still did not leave.
"He's always wanted to visit the haunted house, and this is what I agreed with him to see if I can help." The woman pulled out a hundred bills from her backpack: "It's going to be fine." ”
Chen Ge didn't go to pick up the woman's money, and asked with a little doubt, "Why do you have to go into the haunted house?" This child looks only eight or nine years old, and the environment in the haunted house is complex and special, which is easy to cause psychological stimulation to children. ”
The woman smiled wryly, she didn't answer Chen Ge's question, she turned around and rubbed the boy's soft hair: "Fan Yu, why don't we go play other projects......
Before she could finish her sentence, the boy slapped her hand aside, and the boy did not like to be touched, even if it was perfectly benign.
No matter what the woman said, the boy stood at the door of the haunted house and did not leave, he looked up from time to time, with inferiority, cowardice, and a hint of indifference in his eyes.
"Fan Yu?" Chen Ge's focus has been placed on this child, and it was the first time he had seen such a strange boy.
Squatting down, Chen Ge looked at the little boy levelly: "Can you tell your uncle why you want to go to the haunted house to play?" It's dark inside, and there's scary stuff. ”
The boy's eyes dodged, he looked at Chen Ge's shadow from time to time, and didn't say a word.
The woman was probably afraid that Chen Ge would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly stood in the middle to play a round: "Xiao Yu is different from other children, he rarely communicates with people, I hope you don't mind." ”
"It's fine." Chen Ge found that these two people were standing at the door of the haunted house and didn't leave, and it was not a way to bask in the sun, so his attitude softened: "That's it, I won't charge you for the tickets, I'll accompany you to go in later, but I can only look at the periphery of the venue." ”
"Thank you, boss!"
"Sign a liability waiver agreement first, adults and children should write, don't touch the props at will after entering, don't run, follow me." Lifting the opaque curtain, Chen Ge put the two agreements in front of the woman and the child, normally as long as the guardian signed, but in order to obtain the boy's information as much as possible, Chen Ge asked the child to sign as well.
The two signed a waiver agreement, and Chen Ge led them into the secret marriage scene.
"When they are not husband and wife, the deceased is buried in the same cave, this is the underworld marriage."
Chen Ge roughly told the background story, the three of them stood at the door of the courtyard with white lanterns, the woman was a little nervous, grasping the strap of the backpack, and the boy lowered his head, not knowing whether he was afraid or because of other reasons.
The dead trees swayed, the paper money was all over the ground, and there was a rustling sound when stepping on it, Chen Ge took the lead and pushed open the door of the courtyard: "The internal scene is like this, you just stand outside and take a look, we have strict rules, children under the age of fourteen cannot visit." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy who had been quiet behind him suddenly rushed into the courtyard, and the two adults did not react.
"Fan Yu!" The woman and Chen Ge ran into the courtyard together, and found the little boy parked next to the dry well in the middle of the courtyard, and he leaned into the well with his upper body, as if looking for something.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The woman was busy apologizing to Chen Ge, and she went to pull the boy's arm, but the boy, who had been quiet and shy, suddenly seemed to be a different person, not only breaking away from the woman's hand, but also digging her skin with her nails, looking like a frightened wild cat.
"This kid has too many mood swings." The dry well in the middle of the courtyard was just a prop, not very deep, Chen Ge was not worried that something would happen, he was just curious why the boy cared so much about the well.
After staying at the well for two or three minutes, maybe he didn't see what he was looking for in the well, the boy reluctantly let go of his hand, he was different from ordinary children, to be precise, he was different from normal people, the more gloomy and weird the environment, the more excited the child was.
"Since you're here, let's take a look at you." Chen Ge's entire attention was on the child, who was also one of the shorter among his peers, with a very delicate appearance and large eyes, as if he were a pure black gem.
"The scene of the underworld marriage is an imitation of an ancient courtyard house, and the east and west wings are usually for children and nephews to live in." He pushed open the door of the east wing, and without warning, a female ghost in a wedding dress came out from behind the door.
The thin black woman screamed in fright and retreated again and again.
"Don't be nervous, it's an actor." Chen Ge held the head of the ghost with one hand and whispered, "Xu Wan, you go out first." ”
"Your reaction is too cold......
Xu Wan walked out of the threshold of the wing room with the skirt of the wedding dress, and no one noticed that the boy standing behind Chen Ge suddenly came up to Xu Wan and stared at Xu Wan with his head up.
"Huh? Boss, how did you put such a small child in? ”
Xu Wan was just surprised, only Chen Ge noticed that something was wrong among the few people present.
The wedding dress was as bright as blood, and Xu Wan had special effects makeup, and she looked more like a dead person at this time.
In this case, the boy not only did not feel afraid, but also took the initiative to approach Xu Wan and look up at her face.
"This kid seems to like me very much?" Xu Wan smiled at Chen Ge and didn't feel inappropriate.
It wasn't until Xu Wan left the secret marriage scene that the boy withdrew his gaze.
"I won't show you the other rooms one by one, probably the layout is similar, can you go out now?" Chen Ge and the thin black woman walked out, but the little boy stopped in the courtyard, looking left and right, as if looking for something.
"Fan Yu, let's go!" The boy turned a deaf ear to the woman's cries and stood by the dry well, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Isn't this kid scared at all?" Chen Ge didn't urge, but chatted with the woman: "Are you the child's mother?" ”
"I'm his aunt." The woman said apologetically: "I'm sorry for you, Xiao Yu is different from his peers, since his parents had an accident a few years ago, he has become like this, and it is useless to see many doctors." ”
"Mental illness? Can I ask the parents of the child? Chen Ge cautiously spoke.
"Xiaoyu's parents are both teachers at Duyang Middle School, and the two have disappeared one after another, and they have not been found until now. Xiao Yu was only five years old, and I didn't know how to explain it to my child, so I could only lie to him that his parents had gone to a place called heaven far away. ”
"Twilight Middle School!" Chen Ge instantly tensed his nerves because of these four words.
"You've heard of it too? There are a lot of rumors about that school, and I have long advised Xiaoyu's parents, but they just don't listen. When it came to the sad thing, the black thin woman's eyes were a little red and swollen, she stopped talking to Chen Ge, and walked to Xiao Yu's side: "Let's go home." ”
The boy was still stubbornly standing by the well, which made Chen Ge, who already felt abnormal, even more puzzled, he quietly walked up to the boy and tried to ask, "Why do you keep looking into the well, is there any monster living in the well?" ”
Fan Yu shook his head, in the environment where the dark sunlight did not shine, he seemed to let down the guard in his heart.
"Can you tell Uncle why you've been standing by the well?"
The boy glanced behind Chen Ge and thought for a while before saying, "I'm looking for something." ”
"Looking for something?" Chen Ge was a little curious.
The little boy looked at the dark dry well, stared blankly for a long time, and finally said two words: "Heaven." ”
