Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Bai Yao smiled and said, "Xiaorou, long time no see. You are really a woman. You are beautiful again."

Wen Xiaorou smiled sheepishly.

The girl holding Zhou Xu's hand on the other side said, "Cousin Yaoyao, please don't praise her. She is afraid that she will laugh out loud when she goes to bed tonight."

This is Wen Jiujiu from the third uncle's family. She is the same age as Wen Xiaorou. She also got admitted to a good university this year. She has a pretty face and is a perfect match for the handsome Zhou Xu.

It was at this time that Bai Yao guessed that Zhou Xu was dating Wen Jiujiu.

It is estimated that Zhou Xu often interacted with his uncle's relatives, so he and Wen Jiujiu gradually developed a relationship.

Standing behind Wen Jiujiu is a young boy who has been playing games on his mobile phone with his head lowered. He is Wen Jiujiu's younger brother Wen Ming. He is in his third year of high school and is very addicted to the Internet.

Zhou Xu went down the mountain just to buy snacks for Wen Jiujiu. He was also generous and took out the snack bag and gave some to everyone.

A man in a suit and ties stood in the aisle. He wore glasses and was handsome, but he looked stern. This was Wen Tingzhi, his uncle's family, and he was also the oldest among the children. Because he was too serious, several younger brothers and sisters They were all a little afraid of him.

"Bai Yao, come in and see your uncle and grandpa."

Bai Yao nodded and followed Wen Tingzhi through the corridor, passed through several courtyard gates, and entered the deepest main courtyard. There were several pear trees planted here. If it comes to the flowering season, it should be very beautiful.

Wen Tingzhi knocked on the door first, and a man opened the door from inside. When he saw Bai Yao, he smiled warmly, "Yao Yao, we were still talking about when you could come today, but we didn't expect it to be so soon."

The woman inside heard the noise and came out, "It's Yaoyao here!"

Bai Yao smiled, "Second uncle, second aunt."

The three uncles and three aunts who came this time had a clear division of labor. Who would take care of the old man and when were all scheduled.

As for who can win the old man's favor within the available time, it depends on their ability.

The second uncle and second aunt quickly let Bai Yao into the house.

The windowless room was filled with an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine. On the ancient carved bed lay a haggard old man.

His skin was like dry tree bark, and every rise and fall of his breath seemed to be exerting all his strength. The passage of life seemed to be embodied in his body.

But only his eyes were strangely black and white, clean and clear, and exceptionally young.

The second aunt said gently: "Second uncle, this is Yaoyao from the Wenwan family. She is here to see you."

Bai Yao stood beside the bed and said softly, "Uncle and grandpa, I am Bai Yao."

The old man's eyes moved, and his gaze fell on Bai Yao. He made a gasping sound in his throat, "It's... Yaoyao... She's grown so big..."

When Bai Yao was just born, because his uncle and uncle did not allow others to see him and were unwilling to go down the mountain for a walk, Wen Wan sent him a photo of Bai Yao. In his impression, maybe Bai Yao was still that swaddled baby.

The old man stretched out his thin hand with difficulty. Bai Yao understood and stretched out his hand to hold it.

A smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "I've read everything you sent me... We like it very much..."

The "we" he said should refer to him and his wife.

Every New Year, Wen Wan would ask Bai Yao to write a few greeting cards, or prepare some gifts to send to the old man. She didn't know what to send. Sometimes they were dried flowers she made, sometimes they were painted by her. Fortunately, the old man and his wife didn't mind painting either.

Bai Yao raised her eyes and smiled, "As long as my uncle likes it, I will give you things in the future."

The old man twitched his lips and said, "Okay... okay..."

After all, he was not in good spirits, and these words he said to Bai Yao had almost exhausted all his energy today.

The second uncle quickly told the old man to rest for a while, and the second aunt asked Wen Tingzhi to take Bai Yao to the rest room.

Wen Tingzhi kindly reminded, "This house is very old and has not been maintained for a long time. Power outages are common. Don't walk around outside at night. This is a wilderness, it is easy to get lost, and the signal is not good." Well, it won’t be good if something happens.”

"I understand." Bai Yao asked curiously: "Cousin, how long have Wen Jiujiu and Zhou Xu been together?"

Wen Tingzhi replied: "It's been more than two months. Why do you ask?"

Bai Yao touched her chin and said strangely: "I remember playing house when I was a child. Zhou Xu asked Wen Jiujiu to be his bride. Wen Jiujiu said that she didn't like him and didn't want to play with him. How come the two of them got together when they grew up? ."

"Who can decide what happens when you grow up?" Wen Tingzhi obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He stopped in front of a courtyard door, "The room assigned to you is inside, and Zhou Xu has already put your luggage in for you. Come on, go in by yourself."

Bai Yao glanced at Wen Tingzhi's leaving figure and felt something was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

Stepping through the courtyard gate and walking into the courtyard, what you see is yellow dead leaves scattered all over the ground. The fallen leaves are gathered around a dry well blocked by stone slabs. When the wind blows, the fallen leaves on the stone slabs rise with the wind. It brought up a burst of sand and dust, which blinded people's eyes.

Bai Yao rubbed her eyes and realized that the place where she lived was a bit far away from that group of people. Not only was it far away, but it was also a bit desolate.

When she first arrived here, her uncle arranged a room for her and said he would give her a separate courtyard so that when her parents came over, their family of three could live together, but he did not say that he would let her live in this remote courtyard. inside.

Ever since Wen Wan and Bai Yu got married, they worked hard together to establish a company. The business was getting bigger and bigger, but they did not let the uncles of the Wen family get a share of the pie. I am afraid that the complaints in the hearts of these uncles were not few.

Of course, living in a remote area also has its advantages. You can meet them less often, and you don't have to greet them with a fake smile every time.

However, there are several rooms in the yard, which one does she live in?

Bai Yao was still hesitating. Strong winds rose, dark clouds gathered, lightning struck, thunder bursts, and heavy rain poured down.

The weather in the mountains was so changeable. It rained whenever it came, making her half wet immediately.

Bai Yao ran under the eaves and pushed open a room. Unexpectedly, she was hit by a red fire like fire in her hazy eyes from the rain and mist.

It was a young man wearing a red Tang suit.

Her eyes are covered with white silk, her face is like jade, bloodless, and her long white hair dances lightly like moonlight in the wind carrying mist, which seems like an illusion but not an illusion.

He was sitting on his knees behind the tea table. The white porcelain cup in his hand was smooth and flawless. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the jade porcelain was whiter or whether his slender fingers were paler and colder.

The sudden intruder made too much noise, the wind and rain rushed in from outside the door, and the wind chimes hanging everywhere in the house jingled randomly, which was disturbing.

The man raised his face slightly, and his eyes under the white silk veil seemed to be looking in her direction.

After smiling, he said warmly: "We have guests."
