More than an hour later, Xiao Xia completed the backlog, and it just so happened that Wan Li also sent Xiao Xia a large text to tell the story of the year.

――――

I was seven years old that year, and Ah Zhan was seven years old, and that was the first time we met. At that time, he was very untalkative, and people who didn't know thought he was mute. He was always very quiet and alone, and he was a little scary at a young age, and his eyes were cold, so the people in the town had a lot of speculation about his background, and many unkind people made up that he was a child born in a coffin by a dead pregnant woman, saying that he was born a freak from an unknown source.

However, I was very curious about him, he was bold and bold since he was a child, and my parents were originally very upright people, who usually respected Ah Zhan's adoptive father, and pity him for being abandoned by his biological parents at a young age, and encouraged me to be friends with him. So no matter how much he refused, I always pestered him. (This is similar to you, although it seems that you have come to the blue, and I still don't know where he really came from, so I hope you can solve the puzzle.) Maybe he was too lonely, but gradually, he was less repulsive to me, and although he didn't talk much, he didn't object to me talking around him. Since then, we have been going to and from school together, playing together, fighting together, and getting more and more harmonious every day. By the way, when I was a child, I had a nickname called Talk, which was the kind of child who hated dogs and didn't love them, and they were particularly annoying.

Boys, you know, are born to clique and shout, and our school spirit is a bit like that, so there are fights and brawls every day. A few of my senior classmates may think that Ah Zhan and I are a nuisance, and have been calling on my classmates to exclude our pair of first-grade elementary school students, if it weren't for Ah Zhan's gritted teeth and prickly appearance, we would have to eat a big fist meal in about three or five days.

The day before the summer vacation that year, I forgot that it was because of some trivial matter, and several senior students who dominated the school took advantage of Ah Zhan's absence to block me in the classroom. They said I was just relying on freaks to support me, and I didn't have the ability to fight them alone. I was so angry that I said that I would go alone, so they asked me to go to the deserted house in the east of town that night to test my courage, and those who didn't go would learn to bark at the school gate for three days.

It is said that before the liberation of the deserted mansion, a rich man's outer room and her two children lived, and then inexplicably disappeared overnight, no one knows whether they were dead or alive, or where they went, anyway, the big rich man did not appear again, and the house has never been inhabited. Since then, the deserted house has become a strange existence in the town, and everyone is full of imagination about it, but no one dares to approach it even a step. Years later, some brave people tried to move in, but either they got seriously ill for no reason, or the things in the house would unknowingly move in place, so the haunting there became more and more popular. There are also many people who say that they have seen ghosts flickering there, the sound of women singing and children playing, and some people say that they have seen two children with blurred faces walking around the long street in the middle of the night with lanterns, followed by a woman in gorgeous clothes.

Regardless of whether the people in the town really believed this, no one went there to hang out after dark, and even if they passed by the gate of the deserted house, they hurried by, and never stopped. I actually knew from the words of the adults that it was terrible, and I believed it a little, but I refused to admit defeat because of my temper, so I sneaked there and didn't bow my head all the way. The older children said that they had heard ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but they had never heard people knocking on the door of ghosts in the middle of the night, as long as I dared to go, I would be a hero.

In order to be this uncharted hero, I went.

The other children were waiting under a big tree far away, just enough distance to see if I had escaped, and if a ghost came out, they could run away safely. And I walked by alone trembling, and the sound of footsteps was so abrupt on the stone street that I felt that the footsteps were not mine, and that something was following me.

I shuddered and knocked on the door, but there was no echo but my gasp. I knocked again, and there was still dead silence. Just as I was about to knock on it for the third time, I suddenly felt something move on the door.

An abnormally round eye flickered at me through the big crack in the door!

I was so frightened that I almost sat on the ground, but at this moment, the door opened silently.

A woman stood inside the door, I couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, but I saw her white teeth and felt her laughing, a dead man's laugh, a gloomy laugh!

Before I could come to my senses, she suddenly shoved a small note into my hand, and the cold of dead people and the smell of rotting leaves spread from my hands and my nose to my body, and then the door slammed shut as if it had never been opened.

I was so frightened that I turned around and ran, but the moon was fine that night, and I could see my shadow clearly - and another shadow next to mine. I looked around, and no one followed me, but there were two shadows on the ground, until I returned to the big tree waiting for my big children.

They didn't expect me to do this, and strangely enough, no one saw that the door of the deserted house had ever been opened, and they laughed at me for bragging, and didn't mention the 'hero' at all, and I didn't care about this 'title', and when everyone dispersed, they ran home, afraid of waking up their parents and didn't dare to turn on the lights, so they saw the note that was almost crumpled by me in the surprisingly bright moonlight, and wrote three words crookedly on it--hide and seek.

What does that mean, I don't know. I was just frightened and frightened, threw the note out of the back window, and closed the window tightly, but when I turned around, I saw an extra shadow around me in the moonlight.

I was so frightened that I quickly hid chuang, half-asleep until dawn, and when I woke up the next day, I saw the note and returned to my pillow like a long foot.

Hide-and-seek!

These three words seem to have been traced with a red pen, and they are clearer than on the first night.

I picked up the note and threw it in the furnace in horror, watching it burn to ashes. I don't know if it's a hallucination, but I felt like the note was jumping in the flames, as if it was burned badly, and kept screaming at me-pain-pain-pain-pain.

Think about it, I was only seven years old at the time, it wasn't me who bragged, it was already very good that I was scared to death on the spot after repeated shocks, how could I dare to tell my parents about my naughtyness? That day, my parents only wondered if I was sick, and the usual suspicion of 10,000 people had become a good baby, not only did they not go out to play and run, but they didn't even get close to the cooking stove, which was really weird. But they were too busy with work, so when they saw that I had no physical symptoms, they casually asked me a few words, and then went to work.

I stayed at home alone, and even though it was broad daylight, I still felt that someone was following me, which caused me to run to the yard in the summer to be exposed to the sun. The neighbors all said that Wanli was crazy for this kid, but in fact, I wanted to confirm that I was the only one in the shadow.

However, there are still two shadows!

Though one of them was vague, even in the midday sun, I saw another shadow snuggling up next to my own shadow, like another head growing out of my shoulder.

I was so frightened that I was so frightened that I tried my best to step on the extra shadow, and kept spinning in place in order to find its traces, and the scene was like a puppy chasing its own tail, making everyone who saw it laugh. But I was terrified in my heart, and I couldn't understand why people couldn't see my two shadows.

At this time, Ah Zhan came to me, and I remembered that because his father was going to a neighboring town to do some errands, and he was afraid that he would come back late, so he didn't want him to stay at home alone, so after discussing with my parents, he asked him to come to live at my house today.

I was overjoyed to see him, and thought that someone could finally discuss the events of last night, but who knew that as soon as he saw me, he pounced on me and slapped me hard. I had gone from horror to anger over the two shadows, but I repaid the favor and threw myself over to scuffle with him.

He didn't resist my punches at all, and he kept beating my head even when I was beaten, and I was so angry that I even wanted to bite him. The adults in the neighborhood separated us and educated us a few words, but we still squirmed until we entered the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I yelled at him, "Why did you hit me? ”

He said, "Your soul is coming out, I'll help you get in!" ”

Later, I learned that my three souls and seven spirits were scared out of my body that night and could not return to their places, and since then I have known for the first time that Ah Zhan can see things that others can't.
