Tonight's temperature is unusually cold. The dim light on the road always makes people feel a little weird in the light fog. The two of us were silent, and we couldn't help but speed up.

"Be careful!" After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Lu suddenly screamed.

I looked out puzzled, and I saw a child of two or three years old not far from me. He rushed out of the fog on the left and fell down the road.

The boy began to cry, and he looked at me, who was about to run over him, and suddenly smiled innocently.

I nervously held both brakes at the same time, and the car came to a halt abruptly. However, due to the force of inertia, I was unable to hold the faucet for a while, and was suddenly thrown out of the front of the car and fell heavily to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Zhang Lu hurriedly dropped the car and ran over to help me.

"I don't have anything, look at that kid, I didn't hit him, did I?" I tried the joints all over my body, and it didn't seem to be a big problem, except that my right arm was bruised.

"That's right, that kid ......" Zhang Lu turned his head, and suddenly his whole body stiffened and froze.

"What? Is there anything wrong with him? I didn't hear her answer for a long time, and I turned my head to look behind me in dissatisfaction. Oh, my God! The road behind us was empty, and there was no trace of a child.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Zhang Lu's whole body trembled with fear, and she threw herself into my arms and asked tremblingly.

I shook my head and lifted the car up without a snort.

"Let's go." It took a long time to push her away from my arms, and I didn't ride again, just pushed and walked.

Zhang Lu walked beside me slowly and tremblingly, breathing rapidly, but he didn't dare to say a word. I moved my feet in a thousand emotions, and on the huge road, there were only the footsteps of two people, echoing in the silence of the night.

No clue, really no clue, did the kid walk away on his own? But he's just a kid who can't even get up on his own if he falls!

You must know that from the time he found him, then he was thrown out, and then Zhang Lu looked back, that series of movements was only thirty seconds, why did that child have such a fast speed?

No! Even an adult with excellent physical fitness may not be able to leave our sight in this short period of time, right?!

I shook my head to shake the doubt away. But what I didn't know was that on this seemingly endless road, there were even more appalling things, waiting silently not far ahead......

The nights are colder, is this really a September day? I tugged at my coat suspiciously, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

"Did we really encounter a ghost?" Zhang Lu was still trembling with fear.

"The devil knows." I said impatiently.

Suddenly, I saw a faint light coming from someone not far away.

I looked up and saw a house on the right with its door open, and the door was piled with wreaths and paper figurines. Most of the people in that hall were dressed in white, and many of them were crying secretly.

Who seems to have died? It's so late and you're still having a funeral, are you going to make a night out? For some reason, I always felt that this very ordinary funeral was a little different from what I had seen before, and it seemed that something was missing!

Zhang Lu obviously found out as well, and she muttered quietly: "Strange, why doesn't this family let go of mourning?" ”

My brain boomed and I froze! By the way, why didn't the family's funeral have mourning? Are you afraid of noisy neighbors? No way, the Chinese customs are very polite to the deceased, even if there is a big reason, no one will complain about the family of the funeral, so what reason is there for the family to be unwilling or afraid to mourn?

I looked around the room a few more times. At the very back of the hall is the altar, on which are enshrined photographs of the deceased. It can be seen that it is a two-year-old child. Child? Isn't the child I met just now also a child of this age?

I shuddered, walked over to see a little clearer, oh my God! The more I look at it, the more it looks, the innocent smile, the lovely face and demeanor, and the two unique dimples at the corners of the mouth.

He's the kid he was about to run over just now!

My brain was paralyzed like a lightning strike. The fear spread out in my heart, and the eyes in that photo smiled at me, and the small mouth of the crescent moon actually exuded a strong and strange atmosphere.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Lu asked softly while pushing me hard, who was stiff all over.

"Go in and have a look." I glanced at her.

"What are you doing there?" She grabbed me: "Don't do inexplicable things. ”

I said indifferently: "I never do things without a reason, you take a closer look at the photo on the altar." Don't you think that kid is familiar? ”

Zhang Lu looked over with a confused face, and was suddenly stunned.

"Yes...... Is it the little kid on the road? She stammered in fear.

"I'm not sure, so I'm going to go in and take a closer look. Wait for me here. "I walked towards the house.

Zhang Lu immediately followed, "Don't leave me here alone, I'm ...... I'm so scared! ”

The dim incandescent lamp was constantly swaying by the wind, and the white-clothed people in the mourning hall also looked unreal under this flickering light. The two of us walked in, bowed to the master, then took a stick of incense and lit it, and bowed a few times in front of the altar.

I kept looking at the picture. That's right! I can now say that this is the kid I just met. But he's dead! So who do you see? Is it really ...... Ghost?

Zhang Lu pulled my sleeve in fear and motioned for me to leave quickly, but I still couldn't believe what was in front of me, and whispered to the master: "He's such a cute child, it's a pity." Is he an only child? ”

According to his own thoughts, if the child was a twin, then the whole thing would be easier to explain, but the owner of the house did not answer, just nodded slightly.

Seeing that they didn't take care of themselves very much, I walked away with a stomach full of questions.

"You don't know, I met a ghost again when I went home the night before yesterday! Oh my God, it's the second time, and that guy is really a super mold star! "Zhang Lu, the big mouth, was biting her ears there early in the morning on the first day of school with her bastard trio.

Shen Ke laughed and said, "You mean that when you walked the Great South Road, you almost ran over a child who had already died?" And he went into the mourning hall to see his remains? But I remember that on that road, there haven't been any funerals recently! ”

"What did you say?" I grabbed him, "You mean there's been no funeral there?" ”

"Impossible!" Zhang Lu also screamed, "I and Ye Buyu obviously saw it that day, and we went in." Ke, don't scare us on purpose! ”

"What kind of person am I! If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang Feng and Xu Lu, they both live in that area. Shen Ke looked at me with a nervous face, and suddenly became surprised, "Could it be that what Xiaolu said is true?" ”

I shook him off and rushed out the door: "Zhang Lu, I'm sick." Help me ask my tutor for leave today. ”

There was a faint feeling in his heart, if what Shen Ke said was not wrong, then the funeral he met the night before would be unnecessary, but he and Zhang Lu had obviously participated in that funeral, could it all be just his own imagination? But Zhang Lu also clearly remembers what happened that night!

With a lot of thoughts, I quickly arrived at the place where the funeral was held the day before yesterday. It turned out to be an ordinary grocery store! The owner was a skinny old man, and on his strong recommendation I bought a soft drink that I didn't like to drink, a notebook that wasn't practical and a lot of garbage that I didn't need at all.

Under his verbal offensive, I finally found the gap, gasped and pretended to ask casually: "Uncle, how many people are there in your family?" ”

The old man said indifferently, "It's just me." My wife went the year before last, and I have no children and grandchildren, and I don't know how long I can last this old bone. ”

"So, has anyone borrowed your shop for a funeral recently?" I asked shortness of breath.

Since the shopkeeper didn't have any family, the funeral that had been held the night before was not his.

"How is this possible! Lending the dead for funerals, I don't want to do business here in the future. The old man laughed as if he had heard a great joke.

I frowned and asked unwillingly, "So no one in the neighborhood did a funeral the night before, right?" ”

"No, no, not in months. The damned are all dead, and we're left with those of us who don't die. ”

How could such a thing happen! I left the grocery store in frustration. Did you really see the hell the night before?

"How? Did you find anything? "Someone patted me from behind.

When I turned around, it turned out to be Zhang Lu and Shen Kena's campus foursome.

"There are no clues. It was true that no one had been here for the funeral the night before, provided that the old man at the grocery store had not lied, of course. I said with a headache.

Zhang Luse changed and said: "Then what we encountered is really ......?" She swallowed the word "ghost" into her stomach in fear.

"Don't talk about that. Why did you come along? I stared at them.

"We're a campus five, and how can we not intervene in such an interesting thing?" Shen Ke said with a smile.

"The Campus Five? Hey, sure enough...... "My head is up," so what's your reason for taking a leave of absence? ”

"Diarrhea." Zhang Lu smiled.

"Stomach aches." Wang Feng said.

"Constipation." Shen Ke smiled bitterly.

"People are malnourished." Xu Lu pretended to have a serious expression.

"It's a simple enough reason, so what are you helping me think?" I asked.

The four of them looked at each other, and suddenly burst out laughing. Zhang Lu blushed with a smile and said, "This matter is not important, anyway, you will know tomorrow, let's discuss the matter of the previous night first." ”

Staring at their smiling faces, I somehow had the feeling that I was going to be teased.

But what the hell was going on with that funeral?

Is it a joke on someone, or is it a revelation or a warning? I'm confused again.
