was silent, and when Ling Ning didn't speak, Xiao Rin, who was sitting in front of her, was also silent.

After sitting like this for a long time, Ling Ning couldn't stand such an embarrassing atmosphere.

"It's boring......"

"Rin, let's go see that little ghost. She calmed down, searching for the message that came from within. After determining the girl's location, she stood up and ran out of the courtyard towards a small building separated by a waterway.

Since that full moon night, since she accepted the inheritance left by that person, her already unusual perception has become more acute. As long as they were at the same latitude, the distance of space could no longer hinder her senses. When she mentions the girl, her heart can naturally find her purpose according to the perception conveyed by the darkness.

Xiao Rin didn't speak, just stood up and left with Ning's footsteps.

Neither for nor against.

Faintly, Xiao Rin's slightly immature face seemed to have a hint of joy.

......

The girl who was attacked last night had returned to her home, and her residence was not far from the courtyard where the two were resting.

About ten minutes away, the two came to a small three-story building. This small building is located at the intersection of several waters, the gate is vermilion, carved with classical auspicious cloud reliefs, and there is a small ferry made of bamboo on the left side of the door, and a small boat is parked at this time. On the right is an elevated promenade across the waterway with red lights.

Ning knocked on them and waited for a while.

No one came.

"Is anyone home?"

Ling Ning waited in front of the door for a while, but there was still no one, she pushed the door directly and entered.

There was no one in the room, and all kinds of furniture were neatly arranged.

On this floor is the kitchen, which is not too much decoration either. In the corner of the house is a waterwheel, next to which is a group of stoves, which should have been handed down a long time ago, except for some old traces, there are no signs of use.

There is no wood or other fuel around the stove, and it is clean and tidy.

For the rest, there was only a round table and a few chairs.

The two didn't stay too long on this floor and walked straight up the stairs.

There are thirty-six steps, and the railing of each staircase is engraved with strange patterns. This was not unique to this attic, Ling Ning had seen it in many attic courtyards in the Su family's garden. The second floor of the building is more complicated, with a closed door next to the staircase.

Looking beyond the hallway, three rooms are followed by a window with eaves.

The windows and doors are locked, and there is a zither in place,

"Rin, do you know how to play the zither?"

“...... No. ”

"I've learned a bit, do you want me to teach you? Ning walked over and brushed the dust off the zither.

Fingers crossed the strings, and three crisp and melodious voices echoed through the room. The sound is clear and loud, clean and clear, even if Ning is not very good at appreciating the guzheng, he can hear it, this instrument is extremely good. Her slender white fingers gently plucked the strings a few times, and a few pleasant notes jumped out of the guzheng.

"It's still free, I always think you're not very reliable. ”

In addition to the piano, I have also touched some other musical instruments. ”

"In other words, just contacted?"

Putting down his hand, Ning Sheng sighed softly and turned his head: "Maybe, except for the piano." ”

"Rin, you know what. She opened the window, and a ray of sunlight entered the slightly dimly lit room: "When I was eight years old, on my birthday, my mother took me to my father's concert. Dad wore a tuxedo and played the piano on that huge stage. The name of that piece is 'For My Lovely Daughter.'" ”

"At that time, I thought, when I grow up, I must be like my father and become a good musician. If I could play the piano he taught me on this stage, he would be very happy. When I heard my request, my dad started teaching me how to play the piano......"

"Don't move!"

In the silence between the two, a somewhat pale girl walked out of the room.

She still had a bandage around her neck, and she looked at the two uninvited guests, and her face was ugly.

She hurriedly walked over and pushed Ning away from the guzheng: "Don't touch it." ”

"Wake up, are you okay?" Ning Yangyang smiled, not paying attention.

Noticing that the girl was still weak, she reached out to help the girl who was unsteady on her feet.

"Why did you come to my house?" Timidly dodging away, the girl vigilantly hid behind the door, staring into Ling Ning's eyes.

"Come and see you, is there anything wrong?" Ling Ning grabbed the girl's hand and hugged her sideways under the little girl's frightened gaze. As she walked towards the house, she laughed: "If you are not well, you have to lie down obediently, and walking around is not what a good child should do." ”

"Let go, let go!!" the little girl still blushed and struggled in horror in Ling Ning's arms. Except for her mother, even Aunt Xun has never hugged her so intimately. Even though she knew that this guy was of the same sex, she was still extremely shy.

"If you let it go, you'll fall down~~"

Following behind Ling Ning, Xiao Rin looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, and did not stop it.

Ling Ning was still struggling to hold the girl in the posture of a princess: "Let me down, I will tell Aunt Xun that you are bullying me." ”

"No, I'm taking care of you. It's not okay for such a little ghost who doesn't care for his body to be taken care of, and since Aunt Xun doesn't have time to take care of you, she will definitely not refuse to let me help. Ling Ning pushed open the door, regardless of the struggle of the girl in her arms: "If you are sick, you must be obedient." If you struggle any more, I'm going to spank you. ”

"Don't ...... Bullying people. "This girl is honest.

"Hmph, I learned this posture from Sister Rin. Ling Ning muttered.

......

The girl's bedroom, from the first impression alone, is completely indistinguishable as a flowery girl's residence.

There were no dolls, pendants, snacks, not even a mirror.

Of course, Ling Ning didn't mean that the room was shabby. This room is like the room of the ladies of ancient times, although it lacks the youthful and modern atmosphere of a girl, but it can be seen from the bits and pieces that the furniture is expensive. A large wooden bed, carved from a single block of rosewood. The bed pattern is simple, not too decorative, but faintly revealing a breath of life.

There is a screen on the left and right of the room:

One is a small bridge flowing water.

One is the moonlight of Qinghai.

Then there is a set of tables and chairs, also made of rosewood.

"If you want to drink water, I'll pour it for you. Gently placing the girl on the bed, Ling Ning asked in a low voice.

“...... No. The girl pulled up the quilt and covered her cheeks to hide the crimson that rose up her face. For the first person in front of her to pick herself up, the first person to be so close to her, she faintly had a wonderful fear.

That kind of contact was so close to her that she was not used to it.

Except for her mother, she had never been in such close contact with people.

Feel...... Not good?

No, even in a panic, she could feel her heart beating violently.

Strange, there seems to be something else in the fear......

"Is the injury healed?" Ning reached out and touched her neck, "Let me see." ”

The girl instinctively wanted to dodge, but was caught by Ning

"What hurt?" the girl's tone was a little panicked.

"Wound on the neck, weren't you bitten by something strange yesterday?"

"Nonsense, Aunt Xun said I was sick. ”

"The wound on the neck?"

"There's no wound, it's just that it can't be washed off if it's dirty. It didn't look good, so Aunt Xun asked me to help with the bandage. ”

As she spoke, the girl untied the bandage around her neck. There was no wound on the tender white skin of the neck, and there was only a blue mottled mark left on the wound last night. Not a scar, but like blue ink sticking to the neck.

In Ning's eyes, there seemed to be some strange liquid flowing in that blue stream.

Bronze with a heavy texture.

"It's not good-looking, Aunt Xun said that I shouldn't show it to others. ”

"Rin?" Ling Ning touched the blue stain and frowned tightly, "I'm not mistaken, right?"

"The wound we saw last night should be there. ”

"That's right. Xiao Rin opened his mouth to answer, and did not say much.

......

In the following time, Ling Ning spent an afternoon with the girl.

She helped the girl peel apples and make them into the shape of rabbits. When Ling Ning was young, whenever she was sick, her mother would always come up with all kinds of ways to make her happy, and this kind of little rabbit was what she learned at that time.

"Hey, little girl, what's your name?"

"I don't call me a little girl, my mother calls me Su You. ”

“...... Where's your mom and dad, aren't you home?"

The little girl covered herself in the quilt, apparently not wanting much to answer.

Ling Ning unconsciously continued to ask: "Xiao You is hated by his parents, hehe, they don't like you!"

"No!" the little girl frowned angrily and retorted, "Mommy likes you the most." Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Ten years ago, not long after Xiao You's birth, Grandpa Tai died. Before his death, Grandpa Tai left a family motto: The people of the Su family must leave this garden when they become adults, and no one is allowed to come back except for the three days of Qingming. Xiaoyou's parents, as well as those uncles and uncles, have left......"

"What a fool! Since they can't live here, you can leave with them. ”

The little girl suddenly turned her face like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on: "You are stupid!"

"Grandpa Tai also said that children who are not adults are not allowed to go out of this garden...... You're not stupid!"

"Touch your head. You're very smart, it's really good~"

"Hmph~" The little girl raised her chin a little proudly.

......

As the sun went down, Ling Ning helped the girl cook porridge.

After drinking the porridge, the girl was silent for a while.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

Ling Ning scooped a small spoonful, stretched out his tongue and tasted it: "Added sugar." ”

The girl looked out the window in distraction, and a row of egrets flew into the sky.

It's getting late, and the birds are going home.

It wasn't until the bird disappeared from the window that Yu came back to his senses.

She raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Outside, is it big?"

"Well, even though the garden is very big and remarkable, it's still a lot bigger than here! There are houses hundreds of meters high, cars running through the streets, and planes that can take you into the sky like a bird. Ning sat on the edge of the bed and listed them one by one.

In the end, she said with emotion: "And ah, there are many more people outside than here." ”

"Is it really that good out there?"

"Well, I'm just talking about what if, and there are countless beautiful scenery that I haven't seen before. You, when you grow up, I'll take you out to play, okay? It's going to be fun. ”

“...... Mom and Dad are out, and they must see the beautiful world you mentioned. Do you think they won't want to come back? Do you think they're going to be quiet?"

The girl clutched the sheet tightly, and her voice trembled: "This year, this year's Qingming they didn't come back to see the ghost." ”

Ling Ning heard the fear in Xiao You's heart, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her long hair vigorously.

She stood up and walked to the window. The gorgeous sunset fell on her face, and she smiled warmly: "Hehe, are you worried that your parents will forget you...... Of course they'll come back. After all, their cute girl is still here. ”

......

After drinking the porridge, Ling Ning and Yu played a game.

The girl took a rope and began to flip the rope.

After playing for a while, You was still in high spirits, but Ling Ning felt bored.

"Well, I've got something more interesting here. ”

As he spoke, Ning took out a PSP game console from his pocket.

"I'll teach you how to play. ”

Light up the console and a delicate little man embarks on an adventure. After a while, the thrilling and interesting game attracted the little girl's attention: "Sister Ning, can you play it for me?"

"Uh-huh. ”

It was getting late, and Ling Ning left the three-story hut.

Touching the empty pocket, Ning showed a nostalgic expression:

"Sure enough, it's still distressing. ”

"Forget it, let's give it to Xiaoyou. Even if I leave it now, I can still laugh happily. ”

On the way back, Ling Ning showed a quiet smile: "I don't need it anymore." ”

......

A long, long time ago, when Ling Ning had just left his parents.

She was sent to her grandmother's house by her parents.

Initially:

She doesn't like to hang out and has no playmates.

She couldn't get along with her classmates at school, and she didn't like to talk.

Forever alone.

As soon as school is over, she hides in her room.

Grandma tried a lot of ways, but she couldn't make friends.

In the end, Grandma thought of a solution.

On Ning's birthday, her grandmother gave her this game console.

And then...... She's got a playmate!

After graduating from high school, she didn't go to college.

Enough is enough.

There are grandparents, there are also playmates, enough ......
