Chapter 537: Crying (A birthday bonus for the book friend "The coldest thing is the human heart")
Manbao sat lazily and decided to skip Teacher Mo's class tonight and not attend the medical class.
The moon is not very round, only half a crescent, so the moonlight is not bright. Occasionally, dark clouds pass by, covering the half crescent, and then the sky and the earth become dark in an instant.
At this moment, a faint cry drifted in from outside the courtyard wall...
Manbao's slow brain passively accepted this sound that was different from the atmosphere of current life. He blinked and subconsciously looked at Bai Shanbao beside him.
Bai Shanbao was also turning his head to look at her. When the two of them looked at each other, they knew that they were not hallucinating.
The bathroom, which had been making a lot of noise, suddenly became silent. Manbao stood up worriedly and was about to check on Bai Erlang who was taking a shower inside when he suddenly heard a terrified "Ahhhhh" sound from inside.
Daji also came out of the house, and the three of them ran towards the bathroom together. Before they reached the bathroom, the door swung open, and Bai Erlang, with disheveled hair and a haphazardly dressed middle coat, ran out. When he saw the three people running towards him, he immediately pounced on Daji, screaming, "There's a ghost, there's a ghost, there really is a ghost!"
Zhou Silang, who was busy boiling water in the kitchen, immediately ran out, holding a fire poker and asked, "Where is it? Where is it? Where is the ghost?"
Seeing Bai Erlang clinging to Daji in fear, he said worriedly, "Oh no! Did I scare the Second Young Master silly just now?"
"You, you, you, I'm not that timid. I already know you're not a ghost, so why would I be scared? I'm talking about this moment," Bai Erlang shouted, "Listen, listen, what's that sound?"
After saying that, he held his breath and said nothing.
As soon as he calmed down, the crying outside the courtyard wall became clearer. Although it was intermittent, they still heard her crying: "I am innocent~~I died so unjustly..."
Daji frowned, and the remaining four widened their eyes and looked at each other in disbelief.
Manbao was surprised and excited, "Is there really a ghost?"
Zhou Silang was trembling with fear, "There really is a ghost?"
Bai Erlang hugged his head and trembled without saying a word.
Bai Shanbao was also very excited. He rubbed his hands together and looked at the wall, saying, "If this isn't someone playing tricks, then there really is a ghost!"
Manbao immediately said, "There must be a ghost. We are new here and haven't offended anyone. Why would someone pretend to be a ghost and scare us?"
Bai Erlang just started to sob, but his crying was very soft.
Daji wanted to go out and take a look, but Bai Jilang hugged him tightly, buried his head in his arms, and refused to let go.
In the whole courtyard, Daji has the highest fighting power and he will never let go.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao were a little scared amidst their excitement, but more of it was interest, so they looked at each other and tiptoed towards the courtyard wall.
Daji looked at it helplessly. These three kids were really naughty. The one who was too timid was too brave, and the one who was too brave was too brave.
Zhou Silang glanced at Yaomei and was a little curious, but he looked at the fire poker in his hand and decisively ran back to the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife and took it with him.
Although the crying outside was intermittent, it was continuous. The three of them walked carefully to the edge of the courtyard wall, only to find that the wall seemed a little high and they were a little short.
They looked up at the courtyard wall, turned decisively and went to the door, quietly opened the courtyard door, but the wooden door made a creaking sound. The two of them looked out and saw a flash of fire under the wall of Yan's house at the end of the alley, but there was nothing there, and the crying sound disappeared.
Daji came over carrying Bai Erlang. Bai Erlang leaned over to take a peek. Just then, a breeze blew by, lifting the light flame on the ground into the air. The spring wind was cold, and when it blew on Bai Erlang's back, he felt a biting chill even though he was only wearing his middle shirt. He couldn't help but screamed "Ah--".
“Ghost—”
The sound echoed throughout the alley, and the lights in several nearby houses were immediately lit up. There were also sounds of pots falling or things being knocked over.
Zhou Silang, who was originally standing next to Manbao in the front, was frightened by the sound and almost fell to the ground.
Bai Shanbao turned around and yelled at Bai Erlang, "Stop crying, the ghost isn't here at all."
Bai Erlang burst into tears and cried, "How do you know he's not here? You can't see ghosts."
"We can't see ghosts, so what's there to be afraid of?" Bai Shanbao said, "Anyway, we can't touch them, and they can't touch us."
Manbao had already run over to see where the fire was burning, but everything was burnt out, with some sparks floating in the air. Manbao was not afraid, he reached out and patted down a flame, extinguishing it directly, then picked up the unburned things and looked at them, "It's paper money."
Manbao asked Keke curiously, "Keke, is there really a ghost? Is she here now?"
Koko: "Host, I haven't detected any other energy bodies. There are people further away, such as in the house behind you."
Manbao turned around and took a look, then said nonchalantly, "This is someone's home, of course there are people there. The ghost is no longer in the alley, so could it be in the sky? Look up at the sky."
"Host, there are no special life forms within a hundred meters from you, but there are quite a few mosquitoes and the like."
Manbao was a little disappointed. It seemed that this female ghost was really powerful. Even Koko couldn't find her. However...
Manbao rubbed his hands together and whispered into Bai Shanbao's ear, "Remember this time."
Bai Shanbao understood, so he pulled Manbao and ran back, noting down the time. The two looked at each other, smiled, and decided to go and see it again tomorrow.
Mr. Zhuang, who had been concentrating on reading and hadn't heard the crying, heard Bai Erlang's screams. He was standing in the yard at the time. When he saw them coming back from outside, he asked, "What happened?"
Bai Erlang cried so hard that his eyes and nose were streaming, "Sir, there really is a ghost."
Daji explained, "We just heard some crying, so we went out to check and saw someone burning paper money at the end of the alley, but we didn't see anyone."
"It's not a human, it's a ghost." Bai Erlang emphasized.
Mr. Zhuang didn't believe it. He put his hands behind his back and said, "It's more like a ghost. Okay, Manbao, do you have any soothing herbs? Make him a bowl of it."
"No."
Mr. Zhuang thought about it and felt that his crying was a bit miserable. He was also worried that he would be frightened, so he said to Manbao and Bai Shanbao, "You can comfort your junior brother. If that doesn't work, come back to me."
Manbao and Bai Shanbao agreed, pulled Bai Erlang off Daji, and took them into the room to talk about their true feelings.
