Seeing Leng Yu's somewhat annoyed mood, Luo Lan hurriedly changed the subject.
"Husband, don't think about these annoying things before going to bed. Today is the Ghost Festival, and ghosts are haunting. Let's go back to the room and rest early."
Leng Yu turned his head to look at her and nodded, "Okay, go back to sleep." As he spoke, he raised his arm and put his arm around her waist, and walked towards the room with her...
The night is always long and quiet.
After everyone in Prince Yu's mansion had gone to bed, three petite figures appeared in the moonlight, hunched over.
After they gathered together and whispered for a while, they quietly walked towards the back door one by one without being discovered.
After they crawled out of the back door, they closed it again and ran outside quickly.
I don't know how long he ran before Lele stopped. He leaned his hands on his knees and kept breathing heavily.
"No, I can't run anymore. I really can't run anymore."
An An and Huai Yu who were running ahead hurried back, An An was blaming,
"I told you not to come, but you insisted on following me. Now you're tired after running just a few steps."
"Second sister, I'm not tired, you guys have to tell me what you're doing, otherwise we'll just keep running around here, what if we get lost?"
Huaiyu pursed her lips and looked at him, her eyes full of anxiety as she said:
"I wanted to see my mother. I was afraid she would leave if I was too late, so I ran faster. If you're tired, run slower!"
"See your mother?"
Lele looked at him with astonishment.
"Your mother... isn't your mother already dead?"
"Yes, but today is the Ghost Festival, she will come out. I want to go to her grave to see, maybe she is waiting for me too."
"ah?"
Lele stood up straight and scratched his head in confusion. "If we can really see it, let's run. I can run..."
Huaiyu nodded excitedly, he stretched out his hands and held Anan and Lele's hands.
"Come, I'll pull you along, and we'll run together."
Leaving these childish words behind, the three children held hands and ran towards the west of the city.
They ran for a long time and finally arrived at the west of the city. Looking at the dark woods, An An shuddered with fear.
"Brother, it's so dark here, how can I find your mother?"
Huaiyu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and looked at the grove with a stern look.
"I heard from Aunt Acai that my mother was buried halfway up the mountain in the woods. There are several towering pine trees there. If we walk up the mountain, we'll definitely find her."
"good."
An An didn't know where she got the courage from. Although she was very scared, she nodded heavily.
"In order for my brother to see my mother, An An is not afraid of being tired."
Lele also nodded continuously.
"Yes, Lele is not afraid either. Let's go."
The three children walked up the mountain hand in hand.
The path up the mountain was already narrow, and it was night, so the three children took advantage of the darkness and walked up the mountain with difficulty.
But they walked for a long time and did not see Huaiyu Niang's grave. When they were halfway there, Huaiyu became anxious and said in a tearful voice:
"Where is my mother? Mom, where are you? Come out and see me!"
Hearing his shout, An An and Le Le also gathered up their courage, put their hands on the corners of their mouths, and shouted towards the dark grove:
"Auntie, where are you? Brother Huaiyu misses you, can you come out and see him?"
"Mom, where are you? Can you come out and see me?"
"Mom, I'm Huaiyu. I haven't seen you since I was born. I'm living a good life. I just want to see you. Please come out!"
"Auntie, Brother Huaiyu's dream is to see you. Just to know what you look like. Please come out and meet him. I beg you..."
"mother……"
The shouts of the three children echoed throughout the grove, but there was no response except the whistling wind.
They were tired of shouting and sat on the ground. An An looked up at the sky and said with some concern:
"Brother, why is the sky a little cloudy? Is it going to rain?"
Huaiyu followed An'an's gaze to the sky and nodded with some regret.
"It's going to rain, otherwise, let's go down the mountain! I'm afraid I won't be able to see my mother this year..."
As he said this, Huaiyu lowered his head, biting his lips in disappointment, looking very sad.
Lele tilted her head, looked at Huaiyu with tears on her face, pursed her lips in pain,
"But we didn't see Auntie today, brother, are you sad? Otherwise, let's look for her again!"
"What's the point of being sad? My mother probably won't come out to see me tonight, or maybe I'm too late and she's already gone."
Huaiyu's voice sounded a little lonely, and Anan and Lele both lowered their heads sadly.
After a while, a few drops of rain really fell from the sky. Huaiyu hurriedly stood up and urged,
"An An, Le Le, it's really going to rain, let's go down the mountain quickly."
An An and Le Le looked up at the sky. Although they felt sorry for their brother, they still followed him and walked down the mountain.
But the rain seemed to come very quickly, and seemed to understand the mood of the three children at the moment. After a while, raindrops as big as beans poured down. The three children walked on the already rugged mountain road, supporting each other, and walked down the mountain with difficulty.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The continuously falling rain soaked their clothes, and their hair and faces were covered with rain, even their vision became a little blurred.
"ah!"
Suddenly, An An, who was walking at the back, screamed and then she slipped to the ground. When Huaiyu and Lele looked back, she had already slid down the mountain without any defense.
