[Exclusive from Jinjiang] Please enter the funeral guest

After the dreamlike breakfast between the two people and the ghost ended, Yu Yu sat on a wooden chair covered with maintenance oil and clasped his hands in deep thought.

...So it's because of Senior Luo, right?

Otherwise, given how afraid of ghosts I am, how could I get along so well with Yun Yuer?

The intern from the underworld is so scary...!

Just as she was thinking this, a shadow suddenly fell on the top of her head, and Yu Yu subconsciously looked up.

The first thing that comes into view is not someone's face, but the dark gray sky behind him.

Generally speaking, such weather rarely occurs in rural areas during the day. Even when it rains, the vast sky is under the scorching sun. After the rain, there is a rainbow.

But the sky in the inner world was different. Similar to the dead silent night of yesterday, when Yu Yu woke up today, he found that the sky here was gloomy and oppressive, and it was suffocating.

Just like those paper figures, they are obviously fake, yet reveal an eerie vividness.

"Um?"

Yun Yuer, who was standing in front of her with her back bent, looked back at the sky behind her in confusion, then turned to look at Yu Yu.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he patted her shoulder cheerfully and said, "It's okay. Although it looks a little dark today, it won't rain during the day."

She said this very confidently, then pulled Yu Yu up from the chair and rushed her into the room impatiently.

"Okay, okay, where should we clean first? The living room or the bedroom? Or the stove or the kitchen?"

Although Yun Yuer had initially shown dislike for this decision, she was now extremely impatient.

Senior Luo, who had just pumped out water to wash her hands at the water pump in the backyard, came out at this moment. She first glanced at Yun Yuer with a slightly relaxed expression, and then looked at Yu Yu.

"Yu, you should stay home in the morning." She pointed outside the door, "I'll go for a walk around the village first."

Yu Yu was stunned, and immediately stood up and tried to say something: "Actually, I can also join in -"

"No," Senior Luo shook her head with a meaningful smile on her face, "Home is the safest place, right? Besides, those paper figures are targeting you. If you rashly appear in their sight, you might be caught."

Senior Luo: "I'm different. Their target is not me - even if it is, I can quickly shake them off."

Yu Yu frowned, a little worried: "But... I am very familiar with the village, I can lead the way."

"That's all I'm saying."

Senior Luo spread her hands and said helplessly: "I went out once this morning - I called you, but you were sleeping too deeply, so I just walked around for a while."

She looked at Yun Yu'er who was standing beside her with a curious look on her face and said with a smile, "I met Yun Yu'er on my way back."

The girl who was named blinked and nodded, "Well, Shiqin got up earlier than you!"

Yu Yu: ...

She half covered her face and spoke weakly with some shame: "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened, I must have slept so soundly that I didn't notice anything this morning."

"It's okay, the little thundercloud is watching you, don't worry too much." Senior Sister Luo said, and a cloud suddenly emerged from somewhere in the old house and nestled on Yu Yu's head again, "But did you notice,"

She smiled and winked, teasing, "You've calmed down a lot since returning to the old house."

Really…

Yu Yu rubbed his head and said frankly: "I feel very safe sleeping in my hometown."

After all, this is the place where I have lived for a long time.

Senior Luo stared at her for a long time, then smiled and said, "That's good."

"I'm going out first. I'll call you if you have any questions." She combed her hair back into her hair, looking fresh and energetic. "Remember, I won't be back until after noon."

She looked at Yu Yu with a gloomy look in her eyes, and then Senior Luo smiled at her: "Don't open the door to strange people, understand?"

Strange people...

Does this mean that a ghost might come knocking on the door disguised as a senior? !

Yu Yu was startled and tried to stay calm: "I know! I will definitely not hold you back!"

The senior student in front of me was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile: "That's not what I meant at all... Anyway, just stay at home for a while, the highlight is in the afternoon."

The wedding ceremony officially begins in the afternoon.

Watching the senior schoolmate's back gradually disappearing at the end of the gravel path, Yu Yu let out a breath.

Since the senior is so amazing, it must be easy.

She lowered her eyes, her mind drifting away.

"Yu Yu," a pretty face popped up from below. Yun Yu'er bent down and looked at her expressionlessly, then spoke softly, "Should we still clean up or not..."

Yu Yu: ...

Wait, Senior, have you forgotten that there is a ghost in your house? ! !

She suppressed her desire to jump away and put on a forced smile: "If you don't want to play with me, you can play by yourself."

Yun Yu'er said without hesitation: "No, I want to go with you!"

"Actually, cleaning at home isn't fun," Yu Yu tried to argue. She pointed outside the house and spoke carefully, "How about you go fishing by yourself?"

Forget about asking for a bath. Looking at the weather, the summer flood season will start at some point. Although Yun Yu'er is a ghost, it is impossible to let such a ghost go on a business trip in the reservoir. After all, how did Yun Yu'er die?

But looking at the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, Yu Yu still didn't dare to ask her directly.

Yun Yuer looked at her with great effort and shook her head, "No, I finally get to see you, I don't want to play alone."

She pushed Yu Yu into the living room, then lifted her shoulder-length hair and tied it into a small bun with a black hair tie from the drawer. She said happily, "Where do we start to clean up?"

Having said that, Yu Yu gave up the struggle, turned and walked towards the storage room, saying casually, "Here."

This is a partition in the living room, facing the two sets of beds in the living room.

There are a lot of food in the storage room, including biscuits and snacks that can be stored for a long time, as well as fruits that cannot be stored for a long time.

It had been about two months since the start of the school year at Maoda University, and a month since my parents left their hometown to work. There was no one in my hometown, and the pears in the storage room had become dry and dry.

She pinched the dry, wrinkled peel and said, "Is it still edible?"

A hand reached out and took the pear from her hand. Yun Yuer said disdainfully, "Don't eat it, it's all rotten!"

"It doesn't look like it..." Yu Yu glanced at the pear in her hand, muttered, and then said, "Then throw it into the trash can."

Yun Yuer's eyes widened: "What trash can?" She walked out of the storage room, opened the wooden door leading to the backyard vegetable garden from the living room, and threw the spoiled pears out.

“It’s just right for composting.”

Yu Yu: ...

The two returned to the storage room and began to work at a pace that was not slow but not particularly fast either.

While packing, Yu Yu asked casually, "Yun Yu'er, where did you go to college? Is the May Day holiday also seven days this year?"

Yun Yuer: "It's the school in town."

Schools in town... Is there still a university in town?

Yu Yu didn't know much about the situation in the town. After all, she moved from the countryside to the city when she was twelve or thirteen years old.

She nodded. "I'm studying computers now. What are you studying?"

"It's chemical," Yun Yuer said nonchalantly as she lifted the box and wiped the empty space for her, "I often deal with mercury, silver, lead and other chemicals."

Yu Yu was confused by what he heard: "Will these things cause problems to the human body if we come into contact with them too much?"

Yun Yuer: "Studying."

"It's a rare holiday, so I just happened to go back to the village to join in the fun," she said with a smile, "I'm lucky to meet you! It's been a long time since we last saw each other."

When she said this, Yu Yu felt a little guilty. Although she felt familiar with Yun Yu'er, she couldn't think of any specific details about their relationship.

It's like when you visit relatives and they say, "I held you in my arms when I was a kid, and you did such and such." I have no impression of it at all, just a sense of familiarity.

She responded vaguely.

After a while, after cleaning up a small area, Yun Yuer suddenly spoke up: "What about you? Why do you suddenly want to go back to the village for the holidays? Aren't you living in the city now?"

Yu Yu: “This…”

Her hand that was wiping the wooden box suddenly paused, and she said hesitantly, "It's not that sudden. I wanted to come back and clean up my things a few months ago."

"What's wrong?"

"My grandma passed away." She lowered her head and said nonchalantly, "She passed away before the Chinese New Year. It happened that the May Day holiday was long, so I came back to pack up things in my hometown. If she didn't come for a long time, it would be a disaster if she got moldy."

There was no one speaking. After a long while, Yun Yuer's voice came over: "Oh... I'm sorry."

"Your grandma is old now, it's time for her to leave. Don't be too sad."

Yu Yu: ...

She turned around and hesitated to speak.

Yun Yu'er, who was being stared at by her, looked at her blankly: "What, what's wrong?"

Yu Yu held her breath and said sullenly, "You... I know you want to comfort me, but don't comfort me yet."

Yun Yuer:?

“My grandmother didn’t die of old age,” she said after a breath. “She had Alzheimer’s disease[1]. She got lost and then unfortunately got hit by a car.”

"He left very suddenly." Yu Yu rubbed his sore nose and whispered, "I didn't see him for the last time."

"Is that so..."

Yun Yu'er was thoughtful, then raised her hand and patted her shoulder, comforting her: "Don't be sad, your grandma doesn't want to see you like this."

Yu Yu stiffened his neck and glared at her helplessly and amusedly.

"Okay, I'm not crying, you think I'm still a child." She took the rag in her hand and pushed Yun Yuer out of the storage room, "We've finished cleaning here, next area!"

It took about an hour and a half to clean the entire storage room.

Yu Yu glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, but there was no message from Senior Luo.

But for someone as amazing as my senior, the fact that she hasn’t sent any news is probably the best news.

The little schoolgirl has extremely strong confidence in Luo Shiqin's ability.

Above her head was still the small thundercloud left by her senior schoolmate - although this guy had been nestling comfortably on Yu Yu's head without moving, its presence gave her a sense of security.

The two of them walked to the living room with cleaning tools. Yun Yuer had just pressed the wet mop to the ground and had not had time to wipe it when there was a knock on the door.

A familiar voice came through the wooden door.

"Yu Yu, open the door, I'm back."

It was Senior Luo’s voice.

Yu Yu responded subconsciously: "The door is not closed, please come in, Senior Sister."

"The door is closed," Senior Luo's gentle and good-tempered voice came from outside the house, "It may have been stuck by the wind. Come over and help open it."

Yu Yu: ...

Yun Yuer quickly walked over to her side and whispered, "I feel something is not right."

She knows it without you telling her.

Because no matter how reliable Senior Luo is, she can’t be reliable enough to jump two or three meters high, right? !

The ghost pretending to be Luo outside the house raised his neck to the highest point and his face appeared on the windshield!

——What kind of long-necked monster are you??!

[1] Dementia: Alzheimer's disease

【1】Seeking a bath: a dialect used in some parts of southern China, similar to “taking a bath (usually by the river)”.

[2] Daoluo: A dialect used in some parts of southern China, synonymous with “dao ming”.

[3] Guoba Congee: A specialty of some rural areas in the south. The slightly burnt and crispy rice left at the bottom of the iron pot after cooking is added to water and cooked into porridge. Or overnight rice (fresh rice) is stir-fried until it sticks to the pot and then boiled into porridge. It has the aroma of rural stove firewood.

I don’t know if it exists in the north, but for some southerners like me, “Guoba Congee” has a strong local flavor.
