The sky gradually fell silent, the rain washed everything in the county, and the people in the Zhangjialing Hall gradually decreased.

Two women dressed in plain white clothes, one on the left and one on the right, added paper money to the firepile from time to time. The paper puppet wreaths were lined up outside the courtyard, and the rain hit them, making them even more cold and desolate.

"This old man is also pitiful, he is old, and he was killed outside for two days before he was discovered." The woman on the left said, stabbing the middle-aged woman who continued to add paper money with her arm.

Glancing at her, she looked into a dark corner on the left.

There is a faint figure there,

"It's pitiful, but if you leave early, you will be reincarnated early, and every day you take a silly granddaughter and pee ......," she said, shaking her head.

"Old man Zhang didn't see any relatives visiting, and our neighbor is also considered to be the end of his life, but this stupid girl is afraid that no one will take care of her when she arrives, and she will follow later."

"That's, it's also a big feeling of and urine, I heard that when I saw the corpse of Mr. Zhang, I screamed and scared away, accidentally hit my head, and shed a lot of blood, fortunately, someone saw it and saved it at that time."

"So this girl is also pitiful, these days when Master Zhang died, no one cared about him, and he was covered in and urine, so scared that people didn't dare to approach."

Tuk tuk tuk ~

The clock on the wall reached 12 o'clock.

The two moved their arms, stopped talking, got up and walked out side by side.

Just as he was about to cross the threshold, the round-faced aunt stopped, turned around and shouted into the shadows, "Hey, that stupid baby, the time has come, you should rest early, and you remember to close the door after we leave." ”

"Okay, don't you know she's stupid? I also told her what to do with this, let's take it with us when we leave, they are all from the villagers, and Mr. Zhang's family is not rich, and no one will come. ”

"Well, I know, I just think this silly girl is a little strange today, I can always hear her silly snort in the past, but it's too quiet today."

The sound was gradually blocked by the door, and it faded away.

A dark mass in the shadows, huddled in a corner motionless, like a piece of wood, unheard.

In the quiet night, the sound of rain gradually stopped, and there were small and broken footsteps, as if people and cats were coming lightly.

With the historical engraving, the wooden door glowing with old light, squeaked, and was gently pushed open a gap.

The sound sent ripples through the lobby for a moment.

The man in the shadows remained motionless. It seemed to merge with the shadow, and there was no sound.

A head poked through the crack in the door, and she had a pair of smart eyes that seemed to be able to speak, with a straight and straight nose, a pretty and beautiful face, a ponytail about 18 years old, and a washed white dress.

She searched around, and finally fixed her gaze on the dark corner, closed the door, and bent over to go there.

Suddenly, the shrunken shadow moved, which startled the girl who came, and she stood still and did not dare to step forward.

The four eyes were facing each other, one was still stunned, the other was expressionless, those eyes seemed to be so different, as if numbness and as if something was hidden inside, so deep as a black abyss.

"You...... Hello, I'm a summer flower sponsored by Grandpa Zhang, I... I..."Xia Hua felt very strange, how clever she was in her usual life, she actually showed her timidity in front of this girl who was younger than herself, and she was still a silly girl.

She still stared at her without blinking.

Xia Hua shook her sweaty palm, strode forward, straightened her chest and closed her eyes, and opened her mouth again. "I promised Grandpa Zhang that I would take care of you when he died. I also graduated early from college, and I am an adult and can be your guardian. ”

She said quickly.

She tilted her head, and just when Xia Hua thought she was going to stand like this all night, the fourteen-year-old girl suddenly opened her mouth.

"Oh~"

Such a light and fluttering word seems to be insignificant and insignificant.

It's still so calm......

"You...... Did you just answer me? Xia Hua asked in surprise, couldn't help but squat down, learned her posture, and leaned over.

“……”

He stopped talking. Xia Hua felt that this was normal, but she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

……

"My name is Xia Hua, what about you?"

"Oh, you don't have a name, do you? You...... Do you understand me? ”

"You're so pretty."

"Don't you know your name?"

"Hey, it's a pity that Grandpa Zhang left too suddenly, otherwise if I had rushed back at the time Grandpa Zhang said, I might have been able to see his old man for the last time."

"Hmm, it feels like Grandpa Zhang knows that he is going to die, but how is it possible...... I guess I'm thinking too much, right? ”

Xia Hua was thinking about herself, and the little girl sitting in front of the dresser withdrew her doubtful eyes looking at her reflection in the mirror and threw herself at Xia Hua with a cold gaze.

"Summer ...... Flower. ”

"I said Grandpa Zhang...... He...... What? What? You just spoke? Call me? Xia Huate leaned over excitedly in surprise, and her eyes were almost starry.

"Oh, no, you can speak? Outside...... Don't people out there say you're a fool...... Yes. Xia Hua hurriedly covered her mouth, looked at her with big eyes and blinked, with an embarrassed expression, "I, I didn't mean that, I mean you're normal...... No, I mean, you can talk? So why did you keep silent before? ”

"Water." Maybe he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice had a dull hoarseness.

"What?"

……

Xia Hua felt that she was starting to be inexplicable, and the two of them shrank in the water tank, this late autumn season, it had just rained outside, but I don't know why they still hide in the water tank.

"Ha......" Xia Hua felt that her whole body was cold, and the itchy smell on the tip of her nose surged up, as if thousands of ants were rushing forward and squeezing into her nose.

Just when a loud sneeze was about to come out, a hand suddenly reached out from the other side, Xia Hua felt that the hand was so weak that it seemed that only the bones could be seen, she pressed it coldly on her nose, and magically turned the sneeze that was about to come out into nothingness.

In the dark, the fourteen-year-old girl's insensitive eyes seemed to have a little more strange night.

It makes people can't see clearly, can't touch it, and curiously makes people fall into it willingly, endlessly.

"Why are we hiding here, if a bad guy is coming, we should be shouting for help right now. But...... But why do you know that bad guys are coming? Seeing her withdraw her hand, Xia Hua couldn't help but lower her voice again and let out a puzzled voice.

She didn't seem to want the strange girl to answer her words again, almost talking to herself.
