Chapter Twenty-Three: The Child Is Lost
The "master and servant" two people each had a sugar gourd, and walked towards the front. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, the shops are next to each other, and the white cloth with a large black seal written on it floats in the air, and the pedestrians are all looking graceful, after all, in this kind of self-sufficient society where men and women weave, there is no pressure from mortgages, car loans, etc.
After walking for a while, Liu Yidai suddenly stopped.
Wang Dachuan then stopped and looked up. I saw a gold-inlaid plaque with the word "Liufu" written on it.
The Liufu in the ghost city quickly came to mind.
Now it seems that the appearance of the Liufu in front of you is no different from the Liufu in the ghost market.
"This is your home?" Wang Dachuan asked.
Liu Yidai didn't respond, but her expression flashed with sadness, and she lowered her gaze and was about to walk over.
At this moment, the door of Liufu "creaked" open.
A childish little girl came out of it, only to see the little girl combing two braids, embroidered with peonies on her goose-yellow shirt, wearing a pair of Xiuhe shoes at her feet, and a pair of smart and clear eyes looked around cautiously, and then looked behind her strangely, as if she was sure that no one noticed her, and then ran out with a smiling face.
Wang Dachuan raised his hands in astonishment, his eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at Liu Yidai with an inquiry, only to see that Liu Yidai's face was full of sadness.
"What's going on?" Wang Dachuan turned his head to look at the background of the little girl running away happily, and once again put his eyes on his hands.
He just ......
Just as the little girl ran down the steps, the little girl's eyes were full of anticipation and joy, and Wang Dachuan and Liu Yidai were obviously standing in front of her, but she didn't seem to notice it at all.
And Wang Dachuan's hand obviously touched the little girl's clothes, but ...... But there is no trace of touch......
Wang Dachuan's throat moved up and down, his eyes were full of suspicion, he looked at Liu Yidai's sad expression in disbelief, and asked, "That little girl...... Is it a ghost? ”
Liu Yidai's eyes darkened, and there seemed to be a thick and indissoluble sadness flowing under her eyes, and she replied faintly: "Now, in your dreams, you are a ghost......
Belch.
Wang Dachuan held his forehead, it seems that this is really the case......
"Then how did she ......?"
"Everything here is an illusion, only she is real." Liu Yidai said as she walked forward.
Wang Dachuan followed, chasing after him: "How come? We just bought sugar gourds...... You see, I still have two fruits that I haven't eaten. Wang Dachuan took the sugar gourd and shook it in front of Liu Yidai.
Liu Yidai frowned and paused, a little impatience between her eyebrows.
She turned her head and looked at Wang Dachuan seriously, with a little annoyance in her tone: "Everything here is fake!" Only the little girl is real, she is me, she is what I was when I was a child! ”
After speaking, Liu Yidai strode away without looking back.
Wang Dachuan opened his mouth in shock, stunned - Liu Yidai in childhood...... It's cute.
Oh no, no, the point is not this, the point is ...... Could it be that this is an illusion created by Liu Yidai herself?
Wang Dachuan followed, and there was a posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end: "That is to say, this ...... Oh! ”
Before Wang Dachuan finished speaking, Liu Yidai turned around at a very fast speed, full of anger all over her body, Wang Dachuan was completely unprepared, and saw a punch rushing towards his face with the force of breaking the wind......
Then I felt a burst of pain, accompanied by the whirling chaos.
Wang Dachuan was driven out of his illusion by Liu Yidai.
She just wanted to relive her childhood memories again, quietly, she didn't expect Wang Dachuan to talk so much.
In the second half of the night, Wang Dachuan slept steadily, but early in the morning, the rooster crows outside just sounded one after another, and the family was still asleep when they were woken up by a knock on the door.
"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, I have something to look for you!"
"Hongyan, are you at home? Glamorous! ”
Zhang Hongyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and dragged her slippers to open the door; Wang Fanggang responded while wearing pants, and kicked Wang Dachuan by the way: "Lazy pig, get up quickly!" ”
Wang Dachuan was woken up for no reason, his stomach was angry, and he muttered that he was about to turn over and continue to sleep, but he woke up instantly after hearing an urgent word.
"Xiao Lei went to the old brick kiln yesterday and hasn't come back yet!"
Wang Dachuan almost straightened up with a carp, turned over and sat on the kang, raised his volume by an octave, and blurted out: "Aunt Zhao, what are you talking about?!" ”
Everyone was stunned by Wang Dachuan's reaction, but Aunt Zhao and Aunt Fat quickly came back to their senses.
Aunt Zhao's voice carried a hint of crying: "It's the old brick kiln at the west entrance of the village!" Yesterday, Xiao Lei made a bet with Chen Yongmao and lost, Chen Yongmao asked him to go to the old brick kiln to explore, and the result was ...... As a result, Xiao Lei has not come back until now! Woowoo...... Oh my son...... Xiao Lei ......"
In the end, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but whimper.
"Then why are you looking for it now?" Wang Fanggang furrowed his brows. Wang Dachuan's attention to the old brick kiln should not be underestimated, but now Wang Dachuan is ignored at this juncture.
"I ...... I'm also cowardly......" Aunt Zhao cried and cried, remorseful and blamed herself.
"The children are all lost, and they are still timid." Zhang Hongyan took over the conversation, "Don't say so much about it, let's follow and find it together." ”
Aunt Zhao, that is, Zhao Xiaolei's mother, is also a hard-working woman, because she met someone unladylike, she married a gangster who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and because Xiaolei was born with a bad brain, she was a little stupid, and she was driven away by her in-laws.
She is a woman who pulls Xiao Lei up with a handful of and urine, even though Xiao Lei is a fool, she also treats Xiao Lei as a baby!
"It's not that it's in the brick kiln...... Haunted! "Mother's love is indeed great, but before Aunt Zhao became a mother, she was first and foremost a woman...... Timidity is a character obstacle that she can't overcome.
Aunt Zhao was crying on the side, and the fat aunt helped to speak: "Yes, Lao Zhao went to me in the middle of the night last night, and I didn't dare to go to the west of the village, but didn't your family Dachuan go to the old brick kiln?" I think he's fine now, so I thought ......"
The fat aunt's words focused everyone's attention on Wang Dachuan who was sitting on the kang.
Wang Dachuan saw Wang Fanggang's angry face, and turned his head away with some humility......
Changqing told him before that the story of him going to the brick kiln to recruit ghosts was quietly spread in the village......
But that's not what he wanted to say.
Now Xiao Lei is lost, this seven or eight-year-old child, in case he really has three long and two short...... Wang Dachuan pondered, looking at his father with complicated eyes, waiting for his decision.
