Tonight was a magical night.

For the children of the Little Red Horse Late Night School Park, they have never experienced such a scene, and there are constantly men and women in all kinds of strange costumes passing by the wall, shouting at them, and teasing them.

This group of children is scared and novel, afraid of fear, but reluctant to leave, like small fish in a hot spring, after being lifted by their feet and scattered, but once there is no movement, they gather around again, sucking people's feet.

At dusk, Xiaobai, as usual, stood under the plane tree, peeking at the people passing by, just like watching the small animals in the zoo, Xi'er and Cheng Cheng were there, but soon they were frightened, and suddenly a group of ghost-like people ran over, they were lying on the side of the fence, shouting at them through the iron fence, Cheng Cheng was scared and cried, and Xi'er hid behind Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was also taken aback, but soon she took on the responsibility of protecting Cheng Cheng and Xi'er, escorted the two to run away, and then filled the small water gun she carried with her, and bravely fought with the people outside the wall.

When Zhang Si came, Xiaobai carried a small water gun and fought alone at the front line.

Zhang Si drove the people outside the fence away, and the teachers also brought the children back to the classroom. It's late at night, and tonight is Halloween, so it's not advisable for children to wander outside.

"That fierce little girl, yes, it's you, come here!" came back from outside the wall, a young man dressed in a scarecrow, how he didn't look like a person.

But Xiaobai, who fell at the end, still came over.

"What are you doing?" she pointed the little water gun at the scarecrow, and she should be on guard at all.

"Today Halloween, you're a kid, give you candy to eat. The scarecrow outside the fence did not scare her anymore, but took out a handful of candy of different colors from his pocket and protruded through the iron fence.

Xiaobai stared at the candy, it looked like it was real, but she wouldn't take it, hmph, who knows if she will be caught by the bad guys, how dangerous it is.

"Come and get it, I really don't lie to you, I'll give you something to eat. The scarecrow saw that Xiaobai was motionless and urged.

"You scare the little pot friend, I don't believe you. Xiaobai said.

The scarecrow was stunned, smiled bitterly, put the candy in place from the gap in the iron fence, stepped back, and said, "Then I'll put it on the ground, you can take it yourself." ”

With that, he turned and walked away, his companion calling out to him.

Just walked two steps, stopped again, looked up at the signboard of the Little Red Horse Late Night School Park, and asked Xiaobai: "Is this a kindergarten? Why is it still open at night?"

"Ho ho ho ho ~~" Xiaobai laughed at him: "You are a melon." ”

Scarecrow: "......"

"Then I'm leaving, bye-bye. ”

Seeing that he was really far away, Xiaobai also waved his hand and said late: "Bye~~~"

The other party even heard it, turned around, waved to Xiaobai, and reminded her not to forget the candy on the ground.

His companion, a Miss Pumpkin, asked curiously, "Why are you talking so much to that fierce little girl?"

The scarecrow said, "She's cute." ”

"Lovely? ”

"Did you notice? This is a late-night school park.,It's very difficult for families.。 ”

Xiao Bai Mu sent the other party away, and it was not until she disappeared that she picked up the candy on the ground.

It turned out to be true!

She held the candy in both hands and happily ran to the classroom to distribute the candy to her friends.

"Row up seats, eat fruits, you one, I one~~~"

More than a dozen candies,Xiaobai's own one has been divided,But it's still far from enough.,There are more than 30 small pot friends in the school park.。

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Si brought candy over, one for a child, not more, eating too much and getting tooth decay.

"Boss Zhang, is it a festival today?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Halloween. ”

"What kind of festival is that?"

"It's Halloween. ”

Xiaobai was startled and asked, "What, don't scare me~ Don't scare Cheng Cheng. ”

was going to say not to scare her, but Xiaobai didn't want to admit that he was afraid, so he changed his words to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng was scared to cry today, Xi'er was also in tears, she was also scared, but she didn't cry out loud, retaining the last stubbornness.

Zhang Si saw that Xi'er, who had always laughed and haha, cried, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'll tell you a story." ”

As soon as I heard the story, the children who were eating candy gathered together, and Mr. Koyanagi and Mr. Koman also came over.

Zhang Si didn't expect that his casual remark would attract the attention of so many children, and it seemed that it was difficult to perfunctory without giving some effort.

"Boss, sit here. ”

Teacher Xiaoliu brought a chair to Zhang Si, and Teacher Xiaoman beckoned the children to sit down.

After Boss Zhang finished telling the story, they planned to continue, and tonight it was time to tell the story.

The TV was turned off, the moonlight outside the house was like water, illuminating the yard, and in late autumn, there were many fewer insects, but there were still one or two babbling melancholy.

Zhang Si originally just wanted to tell a random story about Halloween, but now so many children are cheering, and even the teachers are here.

He has to be serious and can't let the children look down on him.

"Today is Halloween, Halloween is also known as Halloween, and legend has it that on this day, our deceased loved ones return to their loved ones to visit them. ”

At the beginning, the children have already made a commotion, can it still be like this?

But they all chose to believe, children are always very naïve, as long as what they say is true, they are willing to believe it, only Jiang Bin, who is on the very edge, listens with a rational face.

Zhang Si continued: "Xiaoguang's grandfather died of a heart attack, and he was very sad and sad. His mother comforted him and said that his grandfather had gone to heaven and became an angel. Dad also said that Grandpa would turn into dirt and slowly disappear. But Xiaoguang didn't believe it at all, his parents' words didn't make him feel better, he resisted his grandfather's departure and couldn't accept this fact. ”

As he spoke, the tumultuous children gradually quieted down, and their big eyes were staring at him, full of innocence.

They really believe everything in the story.

"Xiaoguang misses his grandfather very much, and after a few days, it was Halloween, it was a night, and it was the same as tonight, the moonlight was very bright, the temperature was a little cold, and there were many people on the street, they were wearing all kinds of strange clothes, shouting, and giving candy to the children to eat. ”

On this day, children will also put on strange clothes, carry small baskets, and go to Ling's house with their friends, or parents, brothers and sisters, knock on their doors, and ask them to give them some candy to eat. ”

"This night, Xiaoguang was also accompanied by his father, went to the neighbor's house to ask for a lot of candy, and also sent a lot of candy to other children who came to the door, late at night, he came home, ready to sleep, but he found his grandfather sitting on the cupboard in his room!"

"Hikari was surprised at first, and asked, 'Grandpa, aren't you dead?' and then it dawned on him, 'Oh, I see, Grandpa has become a ghost.' ’”

"Grandpa said that today is Halloween, and all the ghosts can return to their loved ones and spend the night, and after this night, they will be gone forever and never come back. ”

This story is called "Grandpa Became a Ghost", it is a picture book, Zhang Si has read it, I have a memory, but I don't remember it all, but it doesn't matter, he made it up himself.

The children listened very carefully.

The story was quickly told, and the children were chattering, chattering, and asking loudly whether their deceased relatives would really return to them at this party.

Of course, Zhang Si said yes, and the teachers also answered questions.

This stimulates the children, and they chirp as if they were watching a movie.

"I'll leave it to you, so let's put the children to bed early. Zhang sighed and whispered to Teacher Xiaoliu and Teacher Xiaoman beside him.

"Go ahead, we'll leave it to you. ”

Zhang Si quietly left, and Mr. Koyanagi began to tell stories to the children, and invited children who wanted to perform to come forward to sing and dance.

Xiaobai, who is usually very active, did not move tonight, even if she was named by Mr. Koyanagi, she refused.

She seemed to be filled with preoccupations and looked sullen.

Until 10 o'clock in the evening, the children were taken to the dormitory to get ready to rest.

Xiaobai fell last: "Teacher Xiaoman ~ Teacher Xiaoman ~~~"

Teacher Xiaoman, who was greeting the children, looked at the voice and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaobai?"

"Come here, come here. ”

Xiaobai stood in the corner and beckoned to her.

Teacher Xiaoman stepped forward and was pulled by Xiaobai's hand and pulled to a more corner.

Yo, this is a whisper to tell her, Teacher Xiaoman is quite happy, it is the first time for Xiaobai to say such a private word to her.

This child is not like other children, he never talks to them, maybe he talks to Boss Zhang, but not them.

"What's the matter, Xiaobai, there's no one here, you say, the teacher will help you keep it secret." Teacher Xiaoman squatted down and promised first, so that Xiaobai let down his guard.

Xiaobai stared at her, thought for a while, and then asked, "Hey, will grandpa really come to find children when he becomes a ghost?"

Her big eyes were full of hope and apprehension.

Teacher Xiaoman was stunned, this is the story told by Boss Zhang, Xiaobai asked why this is this.

She thought for a moment and said, "The people we love and those who love us will always be there for us." ”

The lights on the first floor were quite a bit off, only a few were still on, and the light in the corner was not very good, except for a floor lamp that emitted a pale yellow light.

This made Teacher Xiaoman's eyes brighten up a lot when he saw Xiaobai, only to hear this child ask again: "Where is Mom?"

Her voice was much quieter, and her eyes were brighter.

Teacher Xiaoman felt that this gaze was almost going to see her heart, she didn't even dare to look directly, she couldn't help but lower her head, deviated slightly, and said, "Mommy will come to find their baby too." ”

She probably guessed Xiaobai's intentions, her heart seemed to be stirred, a little sour, and the direct consequence was that her eyes were also sour.

"Is it true?"

Xiaobai's voice was much faster, and her little hand even grabbed her sleeve.

Teacher Xiaoman looked at her, her little face full of innocence and expectation.

Teacher Xiaoman couldn't say anything negative at all, and at this moment, she even felt that she had all the hopes of this child.

Her words trembled a little, and she said, "Of course, mothers will always be by their baby's side, even if they leave this world." ”

......

Teacher Xiaoman left, and Xiaobai stayed on the first floor alone, refusing to follow her.

"Aren't you afraid?" Teacher Xiaoman asked Xiaobai uncomfortably before leaving.

Although Xiaobai will stay on the first floor every night to play by himself, today is different, today they have been scared by people outside, such as Cheng Cheng and Xi'er, they didn't dare to be naughty tonight, and obediently followed everyone to the bedroom.

"I'm not afraid. ”

Xiaobai is not only not afraid, she is even full of expectations.

Teacher Xiaoman was gone and disappeared outside the door.

"Oh my mother. Xiaobai muttered quietly.

Of course she was afraid of ghosts, not afraid that it would be bragging, but how could she be afraid of her mother.

As soon as Teacher Xiaoman left, footsteps sounded outside the door again, and it was Jiang Bin.

"Xiaobai, I'm here. ”

"Come on, come on, Xiaobai will tell you the good news. ”

Xiaobai can't wait to share her good news with Jiang Bin.

"You're going to wait for Mom tonight?" Jiang Bin asked in surprise. Xiaobai really believed the story told by Boss Zhang? That was fake, it was a story, not true.

Xiaobai stood in front of the window, bouncing, stretching his neck to look out, looking forward to it.

But more than ten minutes have passed, and there is no movement in the Little Red Horse School Park late at night.

She ran around in the yard, and Jiang Bin, worried about her safety, followed her.

Now it's no more cold than in the summer when the yard at night is very cold.

"Xiaobai, go back. ”

"I don't. ”

After taking care of the children on the second floor, Teacher Xiaoman came down to find Xiaobai and called her back to the classroom.

"Do you really want to wait for Mommy?" she asked the restless Xiaobai.

Xiaobai nodded.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Xiaobai shook his head.

"The story says that grandpa will only appear when Xiaoguang is alone, and only she can see it, if you are not afraid, and you really want to see your mother, then you sit alone in the reading area, maybe you can wait. ”

Xiaobai immediately said, "I'm not afraid. ”

Teacher Xiaoman asked Xiaobai to sit alone in the reading area and wait, and left with Jiang Bin.

Most of the lights in the classroom were turned off, only a few lights were faintly lit, and the reading area was like a warm harbor, where a little white sat waiting for his mother to find him.

Xiaobai looked left and right, and there was no movement around her, but she was not discouraged.

Her eyes were shining, and her spirit had never been so focused.

She was both expectant and apprehensive, and suddenly a question came to mind.

"I don't remember what my mother looks like, what can I do?"

Yes, she doesn't remember what her mother looks like, her mother's picture is with her aunt, she hasn't seen it for a long time.

She wanted to run to Teacher Xiaoman to ask what to do, but she was worried about what if she left and her mother happened to come.

So I continued to wait, and at the same time relieved myself that although the baby didn't remember what the mother looked like, the mother must know which baby was her own.

Suddenly, in the darkness outside the light, a series of small footsteps sounded.

Xiaobai was in high spirits, looked nervously towards the source of the sound, and stepped into the corner shrouded in light with a pair of small feet, and then a small body appeared.

"Hiahiahia~~~ Xiaobai, I'm here. ”

It's Xi'er.

"Are you here?" asked Xiaobai in surprise.

Xi'er sat beside her happily, her little feet dangling in the air, shaking and shaking: "Teacher Xiaoman said that babies who want to find their mothers can come here." Xiaobai, I want to find my mother. ”

"Whew. ”

Xiaobai touched Xi'er's little head and said regretfully, "Don't cry." ”

Xi'er smirked at her.

"Xiaobai, I'm afraid of the dark, you can hold my hand. ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. ”

The two little children held hands tightly and sat in this corner, staring at the darkness around them and listening to all the movements.

What others are afraid of is exactly what they expect.

Bedroom on the second floor.

Teacher Xiaoman asked softly, "Are there any other children who want to go? If you want to go, the teacher will send you to the first floor to find Xiaobai and Xi'er." ”

Durian immediately turned over, and Mr. Koyanagi, who was close to her, said, "You can't go, your mother will come to pick you up later." ”

"Ah~So I have a mother duck~~"

Disappointed, he lay down, and then he was happy again.

The children in the dormitory were chattering, like a chicken nest, and there was a sound of rustling, and Teacher Xiaoman saw Luo Zikang get up from the bed.

Teacher Xiaoman asked softly, "Is Luo Zikang going?"

Luo Zikang rubbed his eyes, lowered his head and hummed softly.

"Don't be sad, the teacher will take you there. ”

She took Luo Zikang's hand, went down the stairs, and sent him to the first floor, but she didn't send him over, and let him walk the rest of the way.

"Teacher Xiaoman, I'm scared. ”

The huge classroom is pitch black, only the farthest reading area is dimly lit, and to get there, you need to walk a long way in the dark.

Teacher Xiaoman encouraged: "The teacher can only send you here, if you really want to see your mother, then be brave yourself." ”

Seeing that Luo Zikang successfully joined Xiaobai, Teacher Xiaoman left.

Zhang Si got the news, quietly went downstairs, and handed over the second floor to Teacher Xiaoman and Teacher Xiaoliu, and he came to take care of the first floor.

He walked softly to the classroom on the first floor, found a corner by the door and sat down, immersed himself in the darkness, glancing at the light from time to time, to protect their innocence.
