In fact, ghosts are right in front of us, biting each other. With such a horrifying scene, who would have the mood to sleep?
But... the brothers of the Qing Gang, Su Manman, the priests, and the monks all understood something when they saw how intimately Nan Chengcheng was holding Zhan Hengyi. They didn't want to be a third wheel, so they went into the main house of the Wang family.
The entire courtyard was left to the two of them and the ghosts.
Zhan Hengyi pulled his hand out of her warm little hand. He could actually go into the house to rest, but he didn't. He thought to himself, he was definitely not worried that she would be in danger alone, absolutely not. He just felt that it was cool outside.
"Hey!" Nan Chengcheng gently nudged Zhan Hengyi beside her with her shoulder, "Please let me join the Qing Gang! If the Qing Gang encounters such evil things in the future, you can let me come. With me here, the Qing Gang will become stronger and stronger.
Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about your secret."
"There are no women in the Qing Gang!" Zhan Hengyi refused coldly.
"You can treat me as a brother!" Nan Chengcheng quietly held Zhan Hengyi's arm with her little hand again. She leaned on his shoulder like a boneless body and looked at him with her little face raised.
Zhan Hengyi gave her a cold look and said, "If my brother hugged me like this, I would throw him into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.
Nan Chengcheng, that's enough. There are so many ghosts watching us. Be a decent person!"
Nan Chengcheng raised her eyes and realized that the ghosts in the fountain were no longer eating and biting each other. Instead, they were staring at them with their big, terrifying eyes.
"She's so beautiful! This girl is so beautiful!" The headless ghost straightened his head deliberately.
"It's a rare opportunity to look at a girl like this!" another ghost muttered softly.
…
Nan Chengcheng slowly moved her head away from Zhan Hengyi's shoulder and looked at the ghosts in surprise.
One of the headless ghosts, wearing a Republican-era gown, said, "You continue, just treat us as dead." He then slowly placed the head tucked under his armpit onto the blood-soaked neck and straightened it.
Nan Chengcheng frowned. Are ghosts so gossipy now? She adjusted her hair and turned to go to the wing where the children were resting.
The children were all hiding in a corner of the kang, huddled together, staring at the door with empty eyes. When Nan Chengcheng walked in, they were so scared that they hid back.
"Why don't you take a break?"
The children looked at each other, too timid to say anything.
Nan Chengcheng felt a dull pain in her heart and asked gently, "Where are your parents? Where is your home? Tell me and I'll take you home tomorrow."
"My parents died a long time ago, and my brother is dead too. I've been held captive by them for so long that I've forgotten where home is!"
"My parents said that they had no money and needed to support my younger brother, so they had no choice but to sell me off. I also had no home."
…
There were more than a dozen children, each of whom was either sold or had lost their parents. Nan Chengcheng felt very sad after hearing this. In troubled times, there were too many children who were displaced.
She had been standing at the door watching her when Zhan Hengyi walked in. His face was cold and indifferent, and he looked like a hard-hearted person. "Starting tomorrow, you will go to Anzhen School. There, you will be provided with food and accommodation, but if you don't study hard after you enter, you will be kicked out immediately. Do you understand?"
"Listen, listen!"
"Listen, listen!"
…
The children's voices were weak and they were frightened by Zhan Hengyi.
"Louder!" Zhan Hengyi doesn't know how to communicate with children. In his world, only the strong survive.
The children immediately said loudly and firmly that they listened.
At this time, Qi Mo came back and shouted, "Master, Master, I bought it!"
