Zhou Zhongqing didn't know if Miss Ghost was in a daze, or if she was really seriously helping him look at the door.

Almost every time he came out of the house and saw her back, almost all of them were in this motionless posture, and only at this time would Zhou Zhongqing really feel that she was a dead thing, he couldn't imagine how much willpower he would have to have to be disconnected like this if she was a living thing.

The dim orange doorlight outside the courtyard gate was lit, and a small piece of light shone on her, and she stood here, her outline stained with the faint breath of the night.

When Zhou Zhongqing walked towards the gate of the courtyard, Miss Ghost turned her head when she heard the sound, maybe she saw something in his hand, and before Zhou Zhongqing could speak first, she hurriedly waved her hand politely and said:

"No, don't eat, I'm not hungry!" With that, she turned her head away in a reserved manner.

“……”

Zhou Zhongqing thought about many possible opening remarks, but he didn't expect this sentence.

"Are you hungry?"

"No! I'm a ghost, how can a ghost be hungry. ”

"Get you something to eat?"

"No, no, no!"

Zhou Zhongqing opened the iron gate of the courtyard and walked outside, she stood under the door lamp on the right, and he came to the left side of the door.

Bai Yueying didn't know what he was going to do, so she looked at him curiously.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me, I thought you wouldn't come out tonight."

"As long as you don't harm me, why should I be afraid of you?"

"I won't hurt you, please rest assured."

Zhou Zhongqing is not afraid of her, but he is not reassuring her, after all, she is a ghost with a character of appearance, it is still very difficult to make people afraid, but after all, the species are different, and you still have to be cautious when you should be cautious.

He opened the plastic bag and took out the incense candle paper money inside, but for the first time, he took the initiative to talk to Bai Yueying about his own affairs.

"My mom and dad passed away like you two years ago."

When he talked about it coldly, Miss Ghost, who had insufficient brain capacity, was stunned for a moment, thinking about how to answer.

After a while, I held back two words: "Festival mourning ......"

Zhou Zhongqing couldn't help but find it interesting: "You, a person who has been dead for an unknown amount of time, still come to comfort me for a living person's mourning?" ”

"Uh...... Not...... I'm probably dead, but I don't really feel like death......"

"Life and death are fateful."

Zhou Zhongqing didn't tell her, probably this was because he wasn't very afraid of her, he used to be afraid of ghosts and gods, and he didn't dare to go to places like cemeteries, until his closest people also went to that place to sleep, thinking that maybe they had also become an existence like Bai Yueying, he suddenly stopped being afraid of ghosts.

Even when he saw Bai Yueying for the first time, he still had a sense of excitement and joy in his heart - maybe somewhere in the world where he couldn't see, his parents also existed in this way and did not disappear.

Look at the white-dressed ghost lady on the side, he may be afraid of her, but who knows who loves her and wants to see her, but never sees her again?

Life is always so impermanent.

"That...... If I have the opportunity to meet my uncle and aunt, I can help you with a word. ”

“…… Are you serious? ”

The expression on Zhou Zhongqing's face visibly became a little excited, and then looked at the ghost lady in front of him, he only felt how cute and cute her eyebrows and eyes were, who said that she was a female ghost, he was the first to be anxious, this is obviously an empathetic fairy!

"I'm not lying, what do you want me to say?"

"Let me think about it......"

Zhou Zhongqing stood up, pinched his chin and thought seriously.

"If you can see my parents one day, please help me tell them that my sister and I are doing well, and we miss my parents very much."

Zhou Zhongqing looked at Bai Yueying's eyes, and told her this sentence word by word, his face was full of anticipation and excitement that he had never seen before, compared to those monks and Taoists who said that they knew the heavens and the earth and the ghosts and gods, he felt that the ghost lady in front of him seemed to be more trustworthy.

"Uh-huh! My sister and I are doing well, and we miss our mom and dad so much...... My sister and I are having a great time......"

Bai Yueying tried hard to remember the words she helped to carry, as if a child was reciting a text, and there were words in her mouth, after all, her memory was not very good.

Looking at her appearance, Zhou Zhongqing's excitement sank a little bit...... It seems that Miss Ghost is not very reliable either.

But in the end, he still said very sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Whether Bai Yueying can really see her parents in the end, or whether she can convey his words, but at least this is an expectation.

People always rely on this expectation after expectation as the driving force to support themselves to live and keep moving forward.

Zhou Zhongqing squatted down in the corner again, took out a lighter, and lit the incense candles he took out.

"Is this for my uncle and aunt?" Bai Yueying said curiously.

"It's not."

Zhou Zhongqing answered her, but did not continue to explain.

These incense sticks weren't for my parents, but when he bought them in the afternoon, he planned to burn them for her.

It is a tradition since ancient times to burn incense candles and paper money to the deceased, and there is a saying that after the death of a person, the soul still exists, but it is separated from relatives and friends by yin and yang, and can no longer perceive each other, and incense can pass through yin and yang, and the soul of the deceased can feel the words and thoughts of relatives and wishes through the fragrance, the incense is floating, it is to worship the heavens and the earth and the ghosts and gods, and the incense offering of the living in the yang can also make the soul of the deceased live better in another world.

In the past, Zhou Zhongqing only thought that these were superstitions, but later his parents passed away, and he could only use incense to express his thoughts, and gradually understood why this custom has been passed down to this day.

"Meeting is also fate, I don't know what kind of suffering you have suffered before, I hope you can have a clear mind, and the unfulfilled wish will be completed as soon as possible, no longer worry, get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and reincarnate in a good family in the next life, Zhongqing and I are light-hearted, if you offend, don't blame ......"

Zhou Zhongqing clasped his hands together, lit incense and candles to pray sincerely for her, and lit pieces of white paper and put them in the brazier.

Because Zhou Zhongqing was silent, Bai Yueying couldn't hear his heart, so she stood beside him and watched curiously.

Occasionally catching a glimpse of the curious kitten-like expression of Miss Ghost next to him, Zhou Zhongqing sighed a little, how could he have encountered outrageous things in this world, burning incense and praying for a strange undead, and this undead was beside him at this time......

But soon, Zhou Zhongqing's eyes became a little surprised-

I don't know if it was the light of the burning incense candle paper money reflected on Bai Yueying's body, or if his blessing had an effect, Miss Ghost stood dumbfounded, but the circle around her body was shrouded in a hazy light.

As if a bonfire had been lit in the winter snow, her slightly hollow stiff expression melted away, and a strange warmth flowed through her heart.

"It's weird...... So warm......"

“……？”
