Chapter 23: The Cowardly Boy
Xiao Fan couldn't help but shudder in his heart, what's going on? Xiao Fan's brain was a little messy, and his nerves were a little weak. So much so that Xiao Fan panicked and immediately avoided the little boy's eyes.
What the hell is going on? Xiao Fan began to recall in his mind, recalling where he had met this look.
After a fierce memory search, Xiao Fan suddenly remembered, how could this boy's eyes and face be the same as the boy on the bus when he came?! Isn't your memory messed up? It's unlikely!
With strong suspicion, Xiao Fan looked directly at the little boy's face again, his eyes.
The little boy looked a little wooden at the moment, and he didn't know what the strange uncle in front of him wanted to do.
"Did you just come back from somewhere else today? Isn't it the bus you took today? Xiao Fan's mind was so nervous that he wouldn't ease his words, and he didn't want to scare the kid in front of him so much.
The little boy stood upright, and stood like this for a long time, without saying a word. I seem to be a little scared of this strange uncle in front of me.
But he didn't dare to go.
It should be a very timid little boy.
Don't speak?
Xiao Fan suddenly took out a white rabbit toffee from his pocket and stuffed it into the little boy's hand. "Uncle is not a bad person, just ask."
The little boy hesitated for a moment, then looked down at the toffee in his hand before slowly shaking his head.
Xiao Fan was suddenly stunned! How can it be so similar? Could it really be that I made a mistake?
Maybe they just look a little similar?! Maybe all the little boys in the world look the same, it's really just a temporary illusion of their own?
Forget it, it must be like this, Xiao Fan repeatedly comforted himself in his heart.
"It's okay, I made a mistake, little pot friend, you really look a little like a distant nephew of mine." Xiao Fan said with a smile.
And just as Xiao Fan was about to ask the little boy if there was a hotel or inn in this village, the little boy suddenly threw a sentence at Xiao Fan.
"There are ghosts in this village, go quickly!"
There are ghosts in this village, go quickly!
This sentence suddenly echoed in Xiao Fan's mind, Xiao Fan looked at the little boy's face at the moment, as if he felt that the child in front of him was also evil.
"You...... Say what? Xiao Fan said tremblingly.
The boy's evil eyes suddenly turned, his head lifted upward, and he raised his arm and pointed his index finger at the tree.
At this moment, it was already dark, and the four fields seemed to be hiding something unknown, and Xiao Fan looked at the direction that the little boy was pointing to on the tree.
By the light of the dawn, there was only a separate branch on the tree, black and swarthy, and it was not very clear to see.
"What does this mean? What's there? Xiao Fan inhaled his airway.
"Ghost!"
Suddenly, the sky collapsed, and Xiao Fan's psychological defense line completely collapsed.
The little boy ran away after saying this strange word, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Only the lonely figure of Xiao Fan was left.
After the strange child ran away, Xiao Fan stood under the tree for a long time before taking out a flashlight from his luggage.
It seems that the preparation is still very necessary, so take precautions.
After calming down, Xiao Fan twisted the switch.
A beam of light probed its way ahead, illuminating the landscape within ten meters.
Xiao Fan began to walk slowly by the light of the flashlight.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xiao Fan to find someone, and he found that he had made a detour back to the location of the village entrance again, although he couldn't see the stone bridge in front of him clearly in the dark, but he was sure that the bridge was there.
There is nothing wrong with the road.
Unexpectedly, there was a lantern hanging under the door of one house, an orange lantern, a bit retro, with a little cold halo around the lantern.
In the middle of the lantern is written a word: Tea!
I didn't expect that in such a remote place, there are still tea shops. It's really a bit ancient, Xiao Fan walked towards the teahouse, the name of this place should be called the teahouse.
Xiao Fan wanted to ask if this teahouse had a lodging function.
Although there must be one in the town, it's not easy to rush there now.
Although the lantern under the eaves of the teahouse is hung, the door of the teahouse is closed, and the vermilion wooden door is also hollowed out.
