(1) Xiao Yu

"Registered mail!"

"Oh!"

"Sister, your registered letter!" I screamed loudly.

"Okay, I'll take the seal." The eldest sister walked into the room and walked out again.

"It's so strange, I just came back for vacation, how can there be a registered letter?" The eldest sister said to herself. "Thank you!"

The eldest sister walked back to the house and hurriedly tore open the envelope and read it, the muscles on her face turning from relaxed to stiff. After staying for a while, she was a little excited, and her mother did not notice in front of the sewing machine. After a pause, she had tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, I have something to go to Changhua." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Xiao ...... Xiaoyu, she passed away! ”

Xiao Yu, a very familiar name, but I can't remember what she looks like. The mother seemed to be a little impressed, stopped what she was doing and asked the eldest sister, "Is it the girl who is dressed strangely?" How could she be? Well! Xi'er, you can go over tomorrow! Let's see if we can help. ”

Xiaoyu, I gradually remembered that it was the girl who was completely black, including her eyes and her bicycle, but other than that, I didn't have much of an impression. Strangely enough, why is the notification letter not an obituary, but a seemingly ordinary registered letter?

The eldest sister refused to delay, but even if she rushed at this time, the fact that Xiaoyu passed away could not be changed. Just when the eldest sister was immersed in grief, the phone rang, and she seemed to have a premonition to run over to answer it.

"Xi'er, Xiaoyu is dead!"

"Woo......" The eldest sister finally cried out and complained in a choked voice: "Why didn't you let us know until now, she is really ......"

"Xi'er, I've already informed Tongtong, we'll take the first train tomorrow!"

"Hmm...... It's ......," the eldest sister responded silently.

Early the next morning, at the urging of my mother, I took my eldest sister to the station, and Sister Zhizi and Sister Tongtong had already arrived first, and the three of them were in a heavy mood. I just said a few words when the bus arrived, and when I waved goodbye to their departing figures, I felt a little sad in my heart, life is really short and impermanent.

"Xi'er, how could Xiaoyu ......" Tongtong's eyes turned red again.

"Alas! It's not that you don't know that she's like that. Zhizi sighed and said.

"That's right! Do you remember the first day she came? ”

"Hmm. That day......" Zhizi and Tongtong spoke almost at the same time, and the thoughts of the three of them went back to the days of youth and madness in the past at the same time.

"This is your new classmate!" Teacher Huang smiled and introduced.

What a strange person, such short hair, Xi'er said secretly in her heart.

"I'm not to blame, my hair isn't short!"

Xi'er was startled, she actually guessed what she was thinking.

"My name is Xiaoyu. I guess you're not used to that! "There is a strange mystery in her dark eyes, like the heroine of the comic book Vampire, but her hair is a little shorter.

"You're going to want to! Vampire, I'm not that scary. ”

Xi'er looked at her with a pale face: "Why do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

"Instinct it!" Xiao Yu's eyes blinked.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and draw, it will be dark later!" Xi'er was a little absent-minded, and Teacher Huang urged her.

"Xiaoyu, your painting is really weird, the tone is too dark!"

"I just like to be darker because it suits me." Her flickering gaze fell on Zhizi's face, and Zhizi actually felt a trace of coolness pass by.

"Xi'er, why are you so slow? I want to go and eat ice! Tongtong said almost coquettishly.

"I really can't stand you, okay, I'll be fine right away!"

"Xi'er, your color is too monotonous, improve it a little next time. Xiaoyu, your painting is a bit weird, lifeless, use a brighter color! Xiao Zhi and Tong Tong reconciled a little, one is too reckless, and the other is too crafty! ”

Zhizi. Tongtong and Xi'er are the three most talented painters in the whole grade, Zhizi's portrait of her personality, the style is simple, Tongtong is more than the meticulous carving of the scene, and Xi'er blindly loves desolation. Teacher Huang often said that Xi'er's portrait was very similar to her painting when she was a teenager, but she felt that Zhizi was the most promising, and she often said that Zhizi would definitely be able to make a name for herself in the painting world, of course, it may also be her own unfulfilled wish. Xiao Yu's paintings are completely different styles, the colors are too bleak, but in the harmony between the composition and the picture, it shows a personal maturity, which is also incomparable to the other three. Of course, this is also the reason why Ms. Huang actively hopes that she will join, and she hopes that the three of them can stimulate their respective potentials in the joint creation.

On this day's painting, Mr. Huang commented and boldly made changes to the painting at the same time, Xi'er. Tongtong felt a little pity, Zhizi looked calm, Xiaoyu smiled slightly, it didn't seem to be any different to her.

"You may have to learn from Xiaoyu in composition, and don't be too limited to the depiction of real scenes. The soul of a painting is the idea that the author wants to express, and only by boldly making appropriate additions and deletions on the picture can he paint his own style. Teacher Huang paused, and then said, "But Xiaoyu, your paintings are always lacking in vitality, and you can't see the clear point in the whole picture, which is something you should learn from them." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, but her eyes showed a look of disapproval, and Teacher Huang didn't notice it.

"Teacher, we want to go and eat ice, do you want to go?"

"The teacher has to go back to cooking! How free as you are. In fact, even if painting can't become a career, at least it can be cultivated as a hobby, maybe your parents didn't think so. Teacher Huang smiled and sighed deeply. How much of a commitment will such an effort become? These students also have to face the pressure of going on to higher education after the art competition, but based on their dedication to this path, they will still persevere even if it is hard.

"Xiaoyu, do you want to come along?"

Xiaoyu smiled, but her laughter was very uncomfortable, and Tongtong's body couldn't help but tremble.

"This is it!"

"Yes! How do you know? Zhizi asked suspiciously.

"Intuition. Didn't I say that! ”

"Why is there no one?" Xi'er carefully looked at the ice shop.

"Really?" Xiao Yu looked at Xi'er and said with a smile.

"Xiaoyu, what do you like? In addition to painting, the three of us all like Liu Wenzheng's songs, and Jiang Ling......" Zhizi said.

"Me!" Xiao Yu looked at the three of them, her eyes flashed with a strange light, and she replied mysteriously, "I like to tell ghost stories." ”

Zhizi. Tongtong and Xi'er laughed almost at the same time. "Really, we all love to hear ghost stories! It's good, but Tongtong is the most timid, and he loves to listen to it at night and is afraid that he won't be able to sleep. Xi'er said.

"Okay, I'll talk about one now...... "The Kid Who Loves Ice"!"

(2) Children who love to eat ice

"When Weiwei first learned to walk, his mother often took him to the sugar factory to eat ice ......"

"Isn't it here?" Tong Tong looked around vigilantly, and Xiao Yu looked at her with a smile and nodded.

"Don't interject!" Zhizi's displeasure is always immediately manifested, and Kiritsu sticks out her tongue.

"Whiskers loves strawberry ice the most, and Ah Zhu's jam is poured on it, sweet and sour, and he always stretches out his tongue and licks it into his mouth one by one. Later, Weiwei's mother was not available, so she could only bring him once a week, and Weiwei was very unhappy, and often clamored to come here," said her mother, "Weiwei, can your mother buy strawberry ice and come back for you to eat?" ”

"No, I'm going to the ice shop, we can go to the park to play after eating, and we can also go to the bridge over the stream to jump the planks one by one, it's so fun!"

Mom has no choice. Weiwei is their only son, and he has been doting on him since he was a child.

"Alas! You're so small now, if you're a little older, you can go by yourself and don't need your mother to take it. ”

Whiskers looked at his mother, seemingly interested in the words "go by yourself", but her mother didn't notice.

It was another Saturday afternoon, and my mother took Weiwei to the ice shop to eat ice as usual, but Weiwei's expression was very different from the past, and he kept looking around along the way, and his mother asked him strangely: "Weiwei, what are you looking for?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, I don't. Weiwei replied weakly, but his mother still didn't notice.

Another week passed, and on Friday morning, my grandmother sent someone to the factory to inform her that Weiwei was missing, and that the family was missing ten yuan, which he should have taken.

Mom asked for leave to go home in a panic, and searched everywhere Weiwei could go, but there was no trace of him. In the evening, the old man across the street told his mother that a child had fallen in the stream, because a wooden plank on the bridge had cracked, and the child jumped on it, and the whole person fell down, and there was no chance to save him.

The mother rushed to the stream in a frenzy, and the rushing water flowed as calmly as usual, and the child who fell did not know where to go. Dad also came, with anger on his sad face, Weiwei's mother knew that he was against working outside the home, and now the only hope was that the child was not Weiwei.

Day after day passed, and it was not until the fourth day that the police station called to say that Weiwei had found him, but what they saw was a swollen corpse.

When Weiwei's ashes were buried in the grave, the fate of his parents was completely over, and the only thing left was the three-month-old child in his mother's womb.

Looking at such an ending, Weiwei is sad, but there is nothing he can do. However, Whiskers still likes to come here every Saturday afternoon for ice. Whiskers hurt his head when he fell down the stream, and the blood on his head kept flowing, so every time Whiskers ate ice, he would stick out his long tongue and lick the blood that had dripped onto the plate into his mouth one by one, and then smile with satisfaction, as if it were now...... Xiao Yu suddenly pointed at Tong Tong and said, "He just sits behind you, eating bite by bite, like this, like ......this" Xiao Yu lowered his head, licked the strawberry ice on the plate, and smiled with satisfaction and weirdness.

Tongtong's back was completely paralyzed, her teeth chattered, Zhizi looked back and looked very uncomfortable, and Xi'er pulled Zhizi and couldn't help but tremble all over her body. It was completely dark, and the empty ice shop was even more terrifying.

"He's coming over to me now to ask me for this plate of ice, and he's standing ......" Xiaoyu pointed his finger at Xi'er again, Xi'er screamed and rushed out of the door, Zhizi pulled up Tongtong, who was almost unconscious, and shouted to Xiaoyu: "Hey! Don't be so scary, it's late, let's go! Then he comforted Tongtong and said: "This is just a story, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" ”

Tongtong covered her face and cried softly, watching Xiao Yu take strawberry ice and put it on the next table from between her fingers, and said something softly, Zhizi thought that she must be playing tricks, so she didn't care.

When they walked out of the door, the three of them saw that Xiaoyu's eyes were shining with crystal tears, and Zhizi began to wonder, but Xiaoyu immediately wiped it away with her hands, and her face returned to the look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but she could still see the excitement in her heart from her eyes.

Xi'er was so scared that she didn't dare to go home by herself. Zhizi said, "Xiaoyu, where do you live?" ”

"Me! Just live nearby. ”

"Then let's go!"

Xiao Yu nodded, and rode an almost all-black bicycle, dressed in black and in a black dress. Black shoes and black socks, the figure was hidden in the darkness, looking at her back, the three of them suddenly felt a desolation rushing in.

(3) Xiaoyao's home

"It's strange, why didn't Xiaoyu come today?" Tong Tong said.

"Yes, I saw that she was fine yesterday, could it be that she had a cold?" Zhizi responded.

"It's Saturday anyway, so be it! We went to her house after we finished the painting. Xi'er proposed.

"Good! She's so weird, I don't know what she's like at home? "Tongtong still has a strong curiosity.

The weather was fine that day, and the sun was shining early in the morning. Yes! What a brilliant day. The three of them couldn't help but shout excitedly, three bicycles rolled over the country road of the farmland, and the bright sunlight sprinkled on the three of them, it was really a happy and leisurely day.

"Hmm. The three of you seem to be in a good mood today! The painting is very good at showing bright and young life. Well, let's go out and have fun today! ”

Teacher Huang nodded with satisfaction, she was able to express her thoughts from the painting, and she was very happy that the three of them had grown up.

"Xiaoyu's home, I asked her if she was in this alley." Xi'er said with certainty.

The old and ordinary brick house, a row of dormitories belonging to civil servants, has a desolate atmosphere in the quiet, Xi'er's heart feels something, Zhizi looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

"It's quiet, it's so eerie, it's like a haunted house!" Tong Tong couldn't help but say.

"That's how you are, it's good to have fantasy." Zhizi shook her head.

"Thirty, well, that's the one next door!" Xi'er looked at the door number.

Located at the bottom of the alley, Xi'er once heard her mother say that few people want to live in such a house, maybe it is a public dormitory, so she has to accept it!

When I press the bell, there seems to be something inside, so the sound is very small. After a while, the sound of slippers came from the inside and out. When the door opened, the three saw a bearded man standing in front of them, and after asking them what they were coming from, he nodded, and made a gesture with his right hand to invite them in. In appearance, the man was about forty years old, but his appearance and dress felt haggard and depressed.

"It's dark!" After entering the house, this feeling came to the hearts of all three people.

What made them even more strange was that the windows of his house were closed in the hot noon, the blinds blocked the light, and the whole house was filled with gloom and strange feelings. The man walked into the back hall, and then a woman of about thirty-five or sixteen years old walked in, she looked at the three of them, barely showed a little smile, and said, "You are Xiaoyu's classmates!" She's upstairs now. Well, do you want to call her down? She hesitated slightly, her expression faintly revealing a sense of sadness.

"Auntie, is it that Xiaoyu's health is not good, and it is inconvenient to go downstairs?" Zhizi asked worriedly.

"No, hmm...... Well, I'll take you upstairs! ”

There are three rooms upstairs, and Xiaoyu's room is located at the right of the stairs. The aunt knocked softly on the door, but there was no reply, and after waiting for a while, the aunt decided to unscrew the door when she saw that there was still no movement. Someone in the dark room moved slightly, and the aunt made a very uncomfortable expression, and motioned for the three of them to enter the house and go upstairs by themselves.

There was only a dim wall lamp in the room, Xiao Yu sat on the ground and hung her head, her mood seemed to be very heavy, Tong Tong was afraid of the dark and reached out to twist the light.

"Don't open it!" Although Xiaoyu didn't look up, she had already noticed her actions, Zhizi carefully pulled her sleeve, and then gave Xi'er a look, and the three of them walked towards Xiaoyu's side.

"Xiaoyu, are you feeling better?" Xi'er asked with concern.

"Me?" Xiao Yu asked a question, then calmed down and paused for a while, and said calmly, "I'm fine."

She didn't express any joy at the visit of the three of them, but the three of them had long been used to it, because this was Xiao Yu, and this was her character.

"Xiaoyu, are you an only daughter?" The innocent Tongtong's question was very inappropriate, and Zhizi looked at her with disgust and shook her head.

"I ...... Right! Xiao Yu's tone was very uncertain, which made people feel quite confused.

The three of them looked at the room again, the furnishings in the house were very simple, there were no trinkets that ordinary girls liked, and there were no soft beds in the house. Bookcase. Outside the closet, there is a picture of James. Dean's poster. Xi'er and Tongtong don't know who James is. Dean, Zhizi has some impressions, I remember that he acted in a movie called "Family Dreams", which seems to describe the entanglement between brothers and fathers and sons, but I don't remember it very clearly.

In the corner of the left side of the room was a toy car that was almost completely destroyed, and it was indeed puzzling that such an object was still preserved, Tong Tong curiously walked forward to take a look, stretched out his hand to touch it, and suddenly Xiao Yu shouted loudly: "Don't touch it!" Tongtong was startled and couldn't help but take three or four steps back. Xiao Yu raised her head at this time, and her bright eyes looked at Tong Tong without blinking, as if to tell her that this thing was important to her.

After a while, Xiaoyu stood up and walked to the toy car, then beckoned to the three of them, beckoned them to sit down around her, and spoke: "This toy car is not mine, and it ...... Alas! You'd better not touch it. ”

Her expression was serious.

"Why?" Kiriki asked curiously.
