Mo Chen glanced at the clock on the wall, the hands were approaching the twelve o'clock of the property, Mo Chen muttered to himself, it's so late, what are parents going to do? What's more, since Mo Chen was discharged from the hospital, his parents have never left him alone at home, even if he has to go out to buy groceries and pay some water and electricity bills, his parents take turns to go out, and they will definitely leave someone behind to guard Mo Chen at home.

Thinking of this, Mo Chen quickly changed his clothes, grabbed the spare key by the door, and hurriedly snatched the door. By the time Mo Chen came downstairs, his parents had already walked far away, but it just so happened that Mo Chen could avoid them from a distance, so as not to be discovered by them.

Mom and Dad walked side by side, Mom was carrying a black bag in her hand, and Dad looked back from time to time when he walked, and every now and then, Mo Chen quickly hid behind a tree on the side of the road, or behind a garbage can.

Looking at his father's defensive look, it seemed that he was afraid that Mo Chen would secretly follow them, Mo Chen thought, what is the matter? Mom and Dad want to do it so secretly.

Mom and Dad didn't go far from the park when they stopped at a small intersection, where Dad broke off a branch from a small tree by the side of the road and drew a circle on the ground.

Then, my mother opened the black bag and took out the contents, which turned out to be a thick wad of paper money.

Mo Chen couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, in the middle of the night, on the side of the road, burning paper...... This scene and this atmosphere made Mo Chen goosebumps.

Those ghost movies that Xu had watched before he lost his memory, and some similar scenes broke into his mind one by one at this time, which made Mo Chen terrified.

Mom and Dad squatted on the side of the road, Dad took out a lighter and lit a piece of paper money, and the two muttered something quietly, as if mourning the deceased.

Seeing that the burning paper was burning vigorously, my mother took out a doll from the black bag, and she held the doll in both hands and muttered to the raging flames.

The distance was a little far, Mo Chen couldn't hear what his parents were muttering at all, he stared at his mother's lips, struggling to identify what she was saying.

I don't know if it's because the terrifying atmosphere is easy to bring people to unwarranted reverie, or if what you see is the truth, Mo Chen felt that his mother's lips were lightly opened, as if he was chanting his name.

A gust of cold wind blew, bringing up some burned paper money ashes, and Mo Chen couldn't help but wrap his clothes.

The raised ashes swirled rapidly in the air and floated towards Mo Chen, as if the paper money was burned to him.

It took about half an hour for my parents to finish burning the paper money and clean up the used branches and plastic bags, and then the two shook off their clothes, talked to each other in a low voice, and left.

Mo Chen glanced at the circle on the ground from a distance, and the sparkling fire in the circle had not been completely extinguished. Mo Chen hid behind the tree until the corner of the path where his parents' figures disappeared, and Mo Chen moved and walked to the edge of the circle on the ground.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Mo Chen's heart seems to be grabbed by something, and he twitched violently, and his heart beat faster.

In the ashes in the middle of that circle, the hand-sewn humanoid puppet had a photo of Mo Chen's head prominently attached to its head.

Mo Chen's brain was blank, what was the reason why his real parents wanted to burn a doll that represented him? Mo Chen suddenly recalled that his parents had been "taking good care" of him these days, but they were actually afraid that he would run away? This thought suddenly popped into Mo Chen's mind.

Mo Chen trembled and squatted down and stretched out his hand, his right hand kept reaching out to the ashes, and the humanoid puppet that had been burned out of one leg had been burned.

Mo Chen grabbed the puppet, and the puppet's body still had some residual warmth of flames, but it was diametrically opposed to Mo Chen's mood at the moment, Mo Chen's heart was cold to the bone.

Mo Chen couldn't remember how he walked home, his mind was in a mess along the way, he tried to think of countless reasons why his parents wanted to harm him, but none of them could make him believe in them.

Whose parents would harm their children?

Is there a misunderstanding in this? Mo Chen thought so.

However, Mo Chen also couldn't find any reason to convince himself to explain that his parents did such a creepy thing.

Mo Chen came back downstairs in a daze, but saw two figures running out of the unit door in a panic, Mo Chen lifted his eyelids weakly, and the person who came was his parents.

Mom took the lead in running over to Mo Chen, hugging Mo Chen, Mom said anxiously, "Baby, where have you been?" Scared my mother to death. ”

Subsequently, Dad also followed, counting Mo Chen, and it was not good to sleep at home at night. ran out of the house quietly, making the two of them worried, and so on.

Mo Chen looked at his mother and then at his father.

Mo Chen slowly raised his hand, and the mutilated puppet was grasping in his hand at the moment, Mo Chen said coldly, "I want to know first, what is it used for?" ”

The eyes of his parents focused on Mo Chen's hand, and the moment they saw the puppet, her mother's face suddenly showed a panicked look.

Mom looked at Dad like a pleading, and didn't know how to explain to Mo Chen for a while, Dad looked at the puppet and then at Mo Chen, he sighed.

Dad said, "Let's go!" Go home first, get home, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. ”

"Dad!" Mom stopped shouting, Dad waved his hand, and his eyes signaled to Mom, no need to say more.

Mo Chenpestle didn't move, staring at his father stubbornly, as if he was protesting silently, if his father didn't explain it here, he wouldn't go home with them.

Dad's voice was a little louder, and he said, "Even if you have doubts in your heart, you have to give me a chance to explain!" I'm Dad! Is it so difficult that it will hurt you? Let's go, go home!! I'll tell you everything I know!! ...... Ancestors. ”

It seems that Dad was a little angry with Mo Chen's stubbornness, and the sentence "I'm you, it's so difficult that it will hurt you?" "Successfully captured the last trace of defense in Mo Chen's heart, yes! The two people in front of him, they loved their parents the most, Mo Chen suddenly felt guilty, why did he subconsciously doubt them.

Mom tugged Mo Chen's arm, and Mo Chen took advantage of the situation and followed his parents into the unit door.

Back at home, a family of three sat opposite each other around the coffee table.

Mo Chen put the doll with his photo on the coffee table, and at this moment, under the bright light, it didn't seem to be as eerie as it seemed just now.

Mo Chen was the first to speak, and he said, "Now, can you tell me, what is going on with it?" ”

Mom's flickering gaze fell on her father, and it was not difficult to see that at this moment, she still didn't want her father to tell Mo Chen the truth of the matter.

Dad patted Mom on the shoulder, and he said softly, "The child is older, we can't stay with him forever, and we will help him pave the way in everything." Let alone...... We can hide this for a while, and we can't hide it for a lifetime, and sooner or later we will have to tell him. ”
