Chapter 107: Shadow (18)
......
The day passed quickly.
Twilight slowly descended from the sky, followed by countless tiny stars, spreading like quicksand in the black and blue night sky.
The moonlight fell on the trees in a frenzy, and the shadows fluttered like ghosts, making a sound of laughter.
Su Xiaoqian dragged the long shadow of the tree and sat on the branch, looking up at the dim waning moon in the sky overhead.
The chirping of an unknown bird resounded through the sky, bringing with it a touch of desolation.
The cold wind was blowing, shaking the leaves and rustling, like a drizzle of rain.
A piece of bluestone sits under a large tree, the stone face is flat and the corners are sharp, as strong as steel.
"It's almost winter......"
Su Xiaoqian shook her legs, her transparent fingers curled her hair, and she kept playing.
"Stone, how many winters have passed now?"
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked down at the blue stone beneath the branches.
"Already...... It's been eight winters. ”
The stone suddenly emitted a dull and calm sound, and if anyone stood here, they could clearly hear that it was a man's voice.
"Eight winters...... she muttered to herself, blinking her eyes and counting with her fingers on her fingers.
"It's been so long......"
"It doesn't feel long...... Why is it that the floor is gone after a brush......" she muttered quietly, and suddenly jumped down from the tree, she was wearing a white dress, the hem of the skirt spread out like a flower, and the corners of the skirt were like butterflies, and finally landed steadily in mid-air, floating to the side of the bluestone.
"I'm so bored......" she looked at the stone, and at once floated to the dark tree, and walked around the tree several times.
She walked around, and suddenly heard the bluestone next to her speak.
"It's better to ...... You're going to see the old man up there?"
"That man......"
After Su Xiaoqian turned around the tree a few more times, she returned to the branch, and when she heard this, she felt a little worried, "But that dog ......"
She frowned, swallowed the phrase "very difficult to deal with" into her stomach, dragged her chin and began to think for a while, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly spoke, but there was a slight smug in her tone, "Although it is powerful, but it didn't notice me last time." ”
She said with a grin, rolled her eyes, and suddenly reached out and patted the black stone, "That's it, I'm leaving." ”
Her tone was very cheerful, and her steps jumped to the ground, barefoot, and suddenly she floated into the air, and then her whole body floated like a feather towards the cliff.
......

On the cliffs
It's late at night now, and the people in the Su family's house are already asleep, there is not the slightest light inside, even the domestic animals have fallen asleep early, and now, there is no sound in the yard.
There was silence in the courtyard at the moment, as if even the wind was blowing with a faint sound.
Su Xiaoqian accompanied the autumn breeze and went directly through the white wall and came to the courtyard.
Because she hadn't been here for a long time, when she came again, she didn't know this place anymore, and she blinked, her eyes showed a curious look, and she was floating in the air and planned to go around here a few times before walking.
It's just that she just floated a few steps, and when she glanced at it, she saw a few big roosters with bloody cockscombs in the yard.
"Hmm!"
She was taken aback, and quickly covered her mouth, holding her breath and not daring to speak, it seemed that even her body gradually became more transparent.
Just as she was quietly about to leave the courtyard, one of the roosters in the coop shook its head unconsciously, as if it was about to be woken up by something.
When Su Xiaoqian saw this situation, her eyes immediately widened, and she didn't think of hiding for a while, she just floated in the air stupidly, not daring to move.
Fortunately, however, the rooster only moved its head, and then closed its eyes slightly, and soon fell asleep again.
Su Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, and tiptoed towards the main house in the void, looking around from time to time, her round eyes turned and turned around, and her expression was like a thief.
But no matter how small the step is, after a few minutes, it can be moved to the main house.
So her figure flashed, and her whole body went through the wall.
As if to make up for the mistake she had been scared in the courtyard before, Su Xiaoqian was surprised to find that when she entered the house, she didn't see the big white dog that was almost inseparable from this old man every day!
This discovery made her happy, but when she was about to enter the old man's sleep, she suddenly touched her head, and suddenly felt that there was more than one person in this house.
It seems to be ...... Two more?
How could there be anyone else here?
She blinked, a little puzzled, but then her eyes rolled to a wicked smile on her face.
It seems like some prank has come to mind.
She grinned, turned around with a smile on her face, and walked back through the wall into the courtyard outside.
At this time, the big rooster in the yard was still sleeping, and Su Xiaoqian carefully walked through them, and came to the door of the side house with difficulty.
Tilting her head to look at the wooden door, she pouted, but went straight to the house.
The room was silent, and there seemed to be a lot of things on the table, neatly placed on it, just because it was pitch black now, and it looked slightly scary.
A small bed was placed next to the window, with two dark shadows, one large and one small, lying on the bed and falling asleep.
"Huh? This is ...... Monk?"
Su Xiaoqian looked at them carefully, and suddenly found their two heads that could still shine in the dark.
How could there be two monks in this old man's family?
She was a little puzzled, but when she saw one of the little monks, she threw it away in a moment, and her heart suddenly became playful.
Speaking of which, she had never seen a monk before.
She had a playful expression on her face, and she stretched out her hand to pull the round face of the little monk.
It was just as her fingertips touched his cheek that a piercing pain suddenly passed from her fingertips to her brain.
It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, so the pain makes her shiver, and she has never encountered this situation since she became a ghost!
"Good, it hurts!"
Her fingers snapped back, and her body became a little erratic.
Her fingers were originally transparent, but now they felt as if they had been scorched by fire, and the entire tip of her fingers had turned charred black.
Su Xiaoqian flattened her mouth, and she almost burst into tears in pain.
It's a pity that the ghost has no tears, so she can only look at her fingers, her eyes full of grievances.
"Bad monk!"
She hid her fingers behind her, and scolded the little monk who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, with resentment on her face.
It's just that she has been floating in the air and scolding, and she doesn't dare to take a step forward to move this monk at all, and now in her eyes, even the delicate and lovely face of the little monk has become a little hateful.
"Never come here again......"
She flattened her mouth sadly, and without looking at the young monk sleeping on the other side, she quickly got out of the wall.
