At that time, because my third uncle had just come back, my father and my third uncle took care of me in the shop, and my mother was much more idle than before.

So every morning my mom would make breakfast, and when we finished our snacks, we would go to the shops and go to school.

At noon, Yang Hu and I would eat at school, and when we came back in the evening, my mother had almost finished the meal.

In addition, Yang Hu is very rebellious in front of his parents, but he is very sensible in front of my parents, so my parents don't mind Yang Hu living in our house.

As a result, Yang Hu lived in our house for several years, and he lived with me for food and accommodation.

It's just that how can children not snooze? My third uncle just escorted me to get up every morning to practice martial arts, and Yang Huken got up and practiced with him, and my third uncle didn't care much about him if he didn't get up.

Because of this, I also felt that my third uncle was biased, and secretly sued my mother, and my mother knocked on my head and said that I didn't know what to do.

Therefore, Yang Hu's martial arts are a lot worse than me. The evaluation given by my third uncle is that Yang Hu is just practicing a showcase.

By the summer when I turned ten, Yang Hu was already sixteen years old.

Because of the summer vacation, Yang Hu and I were bored, and Yang Hu suddenly wanted to go back to their old house to have a look.

The old house is in the northernmost part of Linnan City, and our family lives in the southernmost part of Linnan City, and the distance between them is not close.

Coupled with the fact that the old house had been empty and unoccupied, I certainly wouldn't have had a chance to go there.

Even Yang Hu, who was managed by my uncle and aunt, never returned to the old house since he moved out of the old house.

Now that I heard Yang Hu mention it, my child doesn't care, I even asked him if he could not come back at night.

Yang Hu knew that the reason why I didn't want to come back was because I wanted to have a chance to sleep in a lazy bed, so he laughed and asked me to call my parents, saying that I would go to his classmate's house with him to play, and he might not come back to live at night.

I called my mom from my landline phone at home, and my mom naturally didn't have any suspicions, but told me not to be too naughty when I went to someone else's house.

Because he was not afraid of cold but hot when he slept at night in summer, Yang Hu also quietly put on a small fan in his room.

After that, we took a bus and headed to the northernmost village of Laopo.

Because Yang Hu's family bought a house in the city, the original old house has been kept empty.

But most of the other villagers in Laopo Village have demolished their old houses and built several rows of two- and three-story buildings together.

Although it is not as tall and neat as the developer's unified plan, it has also formed several small streets.

In contrast, the courtyard built by the Yang family and the Ma family, far away from these small streets, is particularly deserted.

I followed Yang Hu through a street and along a dirt road overgrown with weeds before arriving at the old compound.

Behind the courtyard is a small hill, on which there was originally an orchard belonging to the Ma family and the Yang family. The reason why the Ma and Yang families built a house next to this hill was to facilitate the care of the orchard.

But with the rapid development of the city, my uncle and aunt became employees of the unit. And Ma Decheng went out to work and rarely came back, and this orchard gradually fell into disuse.

A few years ago, there were occasional outsiders renting my aunt's house, but they didn't live long.

As for why they didn't live for a long time, these outsiders were probably afraid of offending my uncle and aunt, and they were mysterious and refused to say more.

But everyone in the village knows that this courtyard cannot be inhabited.

There is naturally a lock on the gate of the courtyard, but this is difficult for me and Yang Hu, who have practiced martial arts.

We climbed directly over the courtyard wall and went in, and saw an old house in front of us.

There are six rooms in total.

The three rooms on the left are exactly the same as the three rooms on the right, with a double door in the middle and a window on the left and right.

The Ma family's house is on the left, and the three rooms on the right are Yang Hu's house.

There was still a lock on the door, Yang Hu went to the corner of the wall to find a brick, smashed the lock open, and then pushed the door open and entered.

I saw that the house was full of dust, but the few pieces of furniture that the old peasant people used to have were still in the house.

The bedroom also has an old-fashioned wooden bed.

Yang Hu found a broom and asked me to clean the house.

I'm only 10 years old, so how can I ever do any housework?

However, Yang Hu said that if he wanted to sleep here at night, he had to go out to buy food and drink.

In addition, although the wooden bed in the bedroom is still there, there is no straw mat and no mosquito net, so I have to buy straw mats and mosquito coils to come back.

So I'll either go out with him again or stay and clean the room.

I didn't want to go out, so I could only follow Yang Hu's instructions and stay and clean the room.

As a result, as soon as Yang Hu left, I was a little worried, and I always felt like something was staring at me in an empty house.

I was so frightened that I only swept the living room, and did not dare to go to the bedrooms, so I hurriedly retreated to the outside of the door.

It was almost dusk, and I stood under the eaves, looking up at the red-edged white clouds in the sky, and using my rich imagination to overcome my fear and pass the time.

It was a really long time, and I finally heard Yang Hu calling me outside the courtyard gate, followed by a few things to eat and drink, plus a roll of straw mats, which he threw in from the courtyard wall.

I was relieved and hurried to move the food and drink into the house.

Yang Hu climbed over the courtyard wall and came in, picked up a mat and walked into the house, and when he looked in the bedroom, he scolded me for being too lazy, saying that I had only swept one guest hall for so long.

I was afraid that he would say I was a coward, and I didn't dare to tell him because I was too scared.

was holding a broom and wanted to sweep the bedroom, but Yang Hu said that it was too hot, so he simply laid the floor in the living room at night.

Then of course I can't wait, when Yang Hu spread the straw mat on the ground, I fell directly on the straw mat, feeling very novel while rolling and laughing.

Yang Hu is sixteen years old, of course, it is impossible for him to be so childish as me, but it is also a very exciting thing for him to be able to do whatever he wants in a place far away from his parents.

There are lights and sockets in the house, but the light switches are still the old-fashioned rope switches, and the sockets are old-fashioned sockets nailed directly to the wooden posts.

Yang Hu opened the small table fan he brought over, and the two of us sat on the straw mat, blowing the wind while opening the packaging bag and starting to eat the junk food that Yang Hu bought.

After dinner, it was dark, and although there was no TV or computer, neither of us was bored.

I pestered Yang Hu to tell me a story, Yang Hu thought about it for a while, and suddenly told me mysteriously that when he lived in this house in the past, he had dreamed of a very beautiful little girl.

"I don't know if it's a dream, anyway, I think it's a dream, but I don't know why, two times I was dreaming, and my parents suddenly appeared and woke me up, they seemed to know what I was dreaming, and asked me where I hid that girl!"

I was confused by what he said. After all, I was young at the time, and at that time, I hadn't asked my aunt about the past.

So I wasn't interested in Yang Hu's inexplicable but hidden words with a lot of strange information, but pestered him to tell me the legendary story from above.

Yang Huzheng was a little impatient, and suddenly there was a slight sound, which reached my ears and his.

"Don't talk, what's the sound!" Yang Hu said.

I heard it too, so I was so frightened that I leaned in on him at once.

Yang Hu sat up and looked at the open door.

It was pitch black outside the door, so naturally you couldn't see anything.

"Isn't it...... Ghosts? I asked with a shudder, and I was about to cry.

The story of ghosts and gods must be the favorite story of all children. And at my age, the first thing that came to mind in times of fear was ghosts.

As for the fairy and the wolf grandmother, that's something that only a five- or six-year-old child would be afraid of.

"Where are the ghosts, your teacher didn't teach you, are ghosts and gods superstitious?" Yang Hu said, smiling at me.

I felt that he was smiling unnaturally, but with his comfort, I still felt a lot more at ease.

But the sound of rustling still did not stop, Yang Hu got rid of my grip on his hand, stood up and glanced around, grabbed a small bench in the corner of the wall in his hand, and then walked to the door to check.

Just heard the sound of "meow", a white shadow suddenly jumped down from mid-air.

I screamed "Ahhh

Yang Hu also shouted at the same time, waving the bench and smashing it at the shadow.

But the shadow was very nimble, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground lightly and silently.

I was still screaming, and I closed my eyes and didn't dare to look more.

Yang Hu smiled dumbly after glancing at it, hurriedly jumped over and hugged me, comforted me and said, "Don't be afraid, it's a flower cat, open your eyes and see?" ”

I blindfolded my hands and glanced through my fingers, and sure enough, I saw a little flower cat staying in the door, with two green eyes, looking at me and Yang Hu with vigilance.

I put my fear aside and jumped to my feet to pick up the kitten, but the kitten immediately turned around and jumped out the door.

However, it did not leave, but stood outside the door and turned its head to look at Yang Hu and me.

"Don't make such a big move, you'll scare it away, look at me!" Yang Hu said, pulled me.

I honestly squatted on the straw mat, Yang Hu took some of the leftover junk food we ate, and while "meowing", he slowly walked to the door, and threw the junk food at the little cat.

But the little flower cat had a very bad mouth, just sniffed, and didn't pick up junk food to eat.

But it seemed to be emboldened, and jumped back into the threshold, approaching us.

I also "meowed" and handed the junk food to the little cat.

The little flower cat ignored me, just circled around Yang Hu, and sat down at Yang Hu's feet.

"Looks like it likes me!"

Yang Hu laughed and reached out to stroke the little flower cat, and the little flower cat meekly let him caress it.
