Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Bai Yao discovered that He Mian had been avoiding her recently. Whenever she appeared, he would go somewhere else to do other things.

In short, he tried his best to avoid appearing in her sight.

Bai Yao was not in a hurry. Since he wanted to hide, she would not go looking for him.

It just so happened that Bai Yu was afraid that she would be bored staying at home, so when he went to work early this morning, he took Bai Yao to the experimental base to join in the fun.

The experimental base is on the mountain, where several automated greenhouses have been built. Bai Yao heard from her father that they have recently been studying the possibility of plants bearing multiple fruits. They have already cultivated new varieties, but whether they can be planted and produced on a large scale and put on the market is still unknown.

Bai Yao didn’t understand these, but she got a lot of fruits that were not available in the market, enough for her to pass the time.

After lunch, it's time to rest.

Bai Yao brought a stool from the corner and sat in the shade at the door, holding a piece of yellow melon in her hand. After taking a bite of the flesh, she commented: "It will definitely taste better if it is put in the refrigerator for a while."

"Great minds think alike!" A young man next to him said excitedly: "I think so too, but Teacher Bai said that young people always like to eat cold food, which is bad for the body, so if we want to eat cold food, we have to secretly ask the uncle in the cafeteria to help us put the food in the freezer."

This young man is one of the researchers who has just joined the company. His name is Lan Ge. He is lively and outgoing. Today is Bai Yao's first time to come to the base and also the first time she has met him, but he can chat with her with a smile.

Most young people nowadays like to drink cold drinks. This place is considered a "remote and poor area" and it is not convenient to go down the mountain to buy things, let alone order takeout or cold drinks. But the thing that is not lacking here is rare fruits, and everyone can eat as much as they want.

It’s just that people of Bai Yu’s generation have a generation gap with the younger people, and they feel jealous when they see them eating frozen fruits every day.

Blue Dove glanced around and said in a low voice: "Next time you come, give us a signal early so I can put the food in the freezer in advance."

Bai Yao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Lan Ge said, "You're welcome. Your father is my teacher, so you can be considered my junior sister. It's only natural for a brother to take care of his sister. To be honest, I was quite surprised when I first learned that Teacher Bai bought a manor here and moved here with his family."

Bai Yao took another bite of the melon, "What's so surprising?"

"You are now living in Minghu Manor." Lan Ge rubbed his arms and whispered: "It is rumored that the place is not clean and many things have happened there in the past."

Bai Yao was curious, "You know so much?"

"My hometown is Minghu Town, of course I have heard of it."

Lan Ge had told Bai Yu before that there was something wrong with this manor, but Bai Yu said that his family lived well there and they were scientific researchers and did not believe in such weird things.

Seeing that Bai Yu didn't like him saying these words, Lan Ge didn't dare to say them in front of Bai Yu. But now that he was talking to Bai Yao, he couldn't help but start chatting again.

Bai Yao asked him, "You said something happened in the manor, what happened?"

"After the first male owner of the manor passed away, everyone inside moved out. But someone happened to pass by in the middle of the night and saw the light on in the house. The light was flickering, which was very creepy."

Bai Yao: "Is there something wrong with the circuit?"

Lan Ge choked up, and after a long pause, he continued, "More than ten years ago, two thieves tried to sneak into the manor to steal things. Later, one of the thieves ran out of the manor screaming. When the police arrived, they found that the other thief had his neck broken and fell into a dry well."

Bai Yao's eyes sparkled with wisdom, "The spoils were not evenly divided, and internal strife broke out!"

Lan Ge endured it again and again, and said: "Someone also saw a figure walking out of the lake in the middle of the night. The figure walked towards the direction of the manor and then disappeared!"

Bai Yao: "Is anyone swimming in the wild?"

Lan Ge raised his hand to support his forehead. He could see that Bai Yao was indeed Bai Yu's daughter. Both father and daughter were stubborn and would never give in!

Bai Yao finished eating the melon and threw the rind into the trash can beside her. She took out a tissue and wiped her hands. She stood up and said to Lan Ge, "I'm going to go back first. Please tell my dad for me."

Lan Ge said, "Why don't you wait for Teacher Bai to get off work and go back together?"

"No, if I continue sitting here, I feel like I'll gain a few pounds." Bai Yao touched her bulging belly. She hadn't stopped talking since she came here in the morning.

Her father's colleagues would wave at her from time to time, "Yaoyao, come here and pick some fruit!"

Bai Yao felt that she ate less fruit in a whole year than she did today.

Blue Pigeon asked again with concern: "Do you know the way back?"

"There is only one way up and down the mountain, of course I know it." Bai Yao waved his hand, turned and walked out of the base gate.

There is a bus going up the mountain every morning and a bus going down the mountain in the afternoon.

Bai Yao calculated the time and waited under a pomegranate tree on the roadside. When a car passed by, she waved and the bus would stop.

There were not many people in the car. An old man in black clothes was sitting in the back seat, and a young mother with a child of seven or eight years old was sitting in the front seat.

Bai Yao walked to the middle and chose a seat by the window.

The weather in the mountains changes suddenly. Not long after she got in the car, the sky became gloomy again.

The driver in front said: "It's going to rain soon. I hope it won't rain heavily before we get down the mountain, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with my wife's dinner."

The old man behind coughed twice, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and after taking the medicine, he said with hope, "My daughter has given birth. If I can get down the mountain earlier, I can still catch the last bus to the city hospital."

"Mom, Mom!" The little boy in front of me pestered his mother and asked, "Can we really stay at Dad's house for a long time this time?"

The young mother touched the top of the child's head and said with a smile: "Of course, your father got a promotion and was assigned to a dormitory, so our family can live together every day. Then we will take you to eat KFC Duck."

The child cheered happily, and no one in the empty carriage complained about his noise.

It is inconvenient to travel here, and local people will not travel far unless it is necessary.

The driver looked at the sky outside and muttered, "Don't get caught in a mudslide."

Bai Yao slept too late last night and soon fell asleep after leaning back in her seat.

So she didn't see that there was a bus passing by the window, also going down the mountain.
