Third Night: The Familiar Ginkgo Tree

Xu Ye came to his room, packed up the things he brought, and fell asleep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Miss Xu, it's time to come down for dinner."

Old man Zhong woke up Xu Ye, who was sleeping, and she opened her eyes and was startled.

"Ahh The instinctive reaction of people is to cry out when they see something terrible.

That terrible thing is none other than the female ghost in the bridal dress in red.

Even though this is already commonplace, Xu Ye still can't accept that he wakes up and sees ghosts.

"Why did you get out?"

The female ghost in red did not answer, and slowly disappeared. Xu Ye was confused, got dressed and got up to go downstairs.

"Miss Xu." Old man Zhong knocked on the door, "Are you sleeping?" ”

"Here we are." Xu Ye tied up his messy hair and opened the door.

"I think I just heard you talking to someone in your room." Old man Zhong asked tentatively.

Xu Ye thought about it and made up a reason.

"Maybe it's an old auditory hallucination."

"Oh, that's right. If there's a person hidden in it.." Old man Zhong laughed weirdly.

Xu Ye tried his best to hide his weakness, and he was very calm on the surface, but he was actually very afraid that Old Man Zhong would pierce this layer of window paper. She stared intently at Old Man Zhong and motioned for him to continue.

"It's going to be a rent increase! Ha ha. ”

"It's a joke." Xu Ye was speechless, but she knew that Old Man Zhong was testing her. Xu Ye still didn't change his usual cold expression, which made people a little unpredictable.

"Let's go, let's eat, and let you taste my craft. Let me tell you, when I was younger, my dream was to be a chef! Old man Zhong began to talk about the past, saying how good he used to be at cooking and so on. But Xu Ye was not interested in listening, because it was an elder, he could only deal with it against his will.

Sitting at the dinner table, Old Man Zhong warmly entertained him and brought a large plate of braised pork to Xu Ye.

"You're welcome, eat more! It's like your own home. ”

Zhou Xiangnan puffed out his mouth and was very dissatisfied, "Grandpa, you are so eccentric!" ”

Zhao Yao couldn't help laughing, and said, "Now that a beautiful female tenant has moved into this house, I suddenly feel popular!" ”

Old man Zhong smiled while serving rice: "Yes! Everyone should get along, especially you, do you hear? Old man Zhong looked at Zhou Xiangnan and ordered.

Zhou Xiangnan was aggrieved, obviously Xu Ye didn't want to see him. This sentence should be said to Xu Ye.

"Miss Xu, what do you do?" Zhao Yao began to chat.

"Work you can't think of and can't do."

This was an answer that Zhao Yao never expected, so that Zhao Yao didn't know how to answer the next sentence.

"Uh... As long as you don't break the law, hehe. ”

Zhao Yao didn't want to talk to her anymore, he was completely making trouble for himself and making it impossible for him to get off the stage. Xu Ye is really impersonal, impersonal. It's hard to be unpleasant.

"This girl has a personality, I like it." Old man Zhong still said with a smile, is this Zhong's standard smile? He didn't blame Xu Ye for not being polite at all, but said that he liked her.

"Cut!" Zhou Xiangnan glanced at Xu Ye disdainfully, his eyes could no longer hide his jealousy.

After everyone was full, Zhou Xiangnan suddenly said, "Xu Ye, come and wash the dishes." It was clear that Zhou Xiangnan was going to start working against Xu Ye.

"There's no such thing in the contract." Xu Ye's arms were protected, and he didn't look at Zhou Xiangnan at all, just staring at the ginkgo tree outside.

"Now it's prescribed! You, you, you... You wash today! Zhou Xiangnan was so angry that he stammered, which made Xu Ye like it a little. In her eyes, stammering so angry that it was completely childlike.

"Okay, okay, let me wash it, old man."

"I'll come, you go and rest." Zhao Yao reached out and took the bowl from Old Man Zhong's hand.

"Just spoil her! Hum. Zhou Xiangnan ran back to his room angrily, and he didn't watch the news with Old Man Zhong anymore. Old man Zhong had no choice but to sit on the sofa and care about "national affairs".

Xu Ye walked slowly under the ginkgo tree, and an indescribable and familiar feeling came again.

She sat on a stone bench and stared aimlessly at the tree.

"Miss Xu, is this ginkgo tree beautiful?" Old man Zhong smoked the dry tobacco of the old days, and walked slowly with a cane. It's strange that Old Man Zhong actually put down the news network today and was willing to chat with Xu Ye.

"Well, it's good."

"This thousand-year-old tree has spirituality, and a wish for her can come true!"

"That's a three-year-old kid, can I get my mom better?" Xu Ye turned her head to stare at Old Man Zhong, she was looking at him.

Deep wrinkles were carved all over his face, his face was dull yellow, a few fine white hairs were hidden between the black hair, his eyes were sunken, and his teeth were black and yellow, which should be caused by long-term smoking.

"Hey, legend, don't take it seriously."

"You're over sixty years old."

"Well, yes, how do you know?" Old man Zhong looked at this young girl with such eyesight.

"I can see it."

"Most people think I'm in my fifties! Ha ha. ”

Old man Zhong laughed proudly, who doesn't want to look young.

Xu Ye has never liked to laugh, and the scene suddenly fell into embarrassment.

"Miss Xu, don't you think my cigarette is choking? I see you didn't react to the smell of my smoke from the start. Most people stay away from me, but you don't dislike me at all. ”

"Of course I choke, but I like to smell it."

Xu Ye's answer surprised Old Man Zhong, and he finally understood Zhao Yao's feelings.

"Let's go back to the house, it's getting late, and there may be evil spirits." Old man Zhong warned Xu Ye, this is something to say.

The two returned to the house. Xu Ye went upstairs and opened the door, startled.

The female ghost in red gently stroked the pillow on Xu Ye's bed, as if she was stroking a baby. The scene made people suddenly get goosebumps all over their bodies, and they didn't dare to sleep on their pillows at night. But in Xu Ye's eyes, everything is no longer an ordinary thing.

"What is the unfulfilled wish?" Xu Ye spoke.

The female ghost pointed to the ginkgo tree outside, and then pointed downstairs, Xu Ye opened the door and looked at the location where the female ghost pointed, Old Man Zhong's room! Then this female ghost is nothing more than the wife of Old Man Zhong who died thirty years ago, and judging by her outfit, she should have died on the wedding day.

"You want to see him?"

The female ghost shook her head, got up and suddenly stood behind Xu Ye, she almost kissed the female ghost when she turned around, this time she was not lightly frightened.

The female ghost opened her mouth but did not make a sound, "Revenge ......"

Looking at the shape of her mouth, you can tell that she is talking about these two words.

"Who?" Xu Ye was puzzled.

Zhong Quan... The ghost couldn't make a sound, and Xu Ye didn't know what she was talking about, she frowned and didn't speak, and then the female ghost disappeared.

"Ginkgo biloba... Old man Zhong... Revenge..."Xu Ye muttered to himself, then this must be related to Old Man Zhong, and he will have the opportunity to ask Old Man Zhong tomorrow.
