Shen Xia of ghouls

As night falls, the entire Waichang Village is shrouded in endless darkness. The asphalt road is looming among the grass in the countryside. Dim street lamps stand alone on both sides, flickering weak lights, and a few moths flutter their wings and surround them up and down. , the flat road is endless, like a beast from the darkness in the darkness, opening its big dark and bottomless blood basin to swallow the passers-by who stumble on it.

The noisy gongs and drums still echo in my ears, but the fiery red torches have gradually drifted away, becoming dots in the darkness. Under each dot of light, there is a phantom with green face and fangs fluttering in white clothes. Jumping, carrying wooden monuments behind his back, the top is also pale, a gust of wind blows, this white is gently lifted, up and down with the evil spirit.The light spots are flickering, jumping, and struggling, like a life that is about to die, forced to follow the ecstasy of the ghost, and disappear into the night with the gray phantom.

The noisy sound gradually faded away, and the disappearing insects and frogs sounded again. The river that had just stopped seemed to be able to flow again. Silky cool.

The worm delivery team went far away, and the respectful expression on his face still remained. Xia Ye walked back to the house with his grandma and younger brother, and started to pick up the messy fruit. Every house and every house that people passed by would give a symbolic sign. Taking away some sacrifices, there are many people in a mess, and they walk in a hurry, and they often overturn some things.

After Xia Ye cleaned up, she walked to the door and put away the lucky charms hanging by the door bolt. These are left by the gangsters and can keep the house safe.The blessing talisman is based on white paper, and the strokes of the symbols and graphics on it are buckled, like words but not words, and pictures but not pictures.

Xia Ye asked Aoyama Miho and hid her in a box carved from sandalwood, inside which were placed neatly the previous blessings. Some of the ink-colored runes had not receded, but the paper had turned yellow. ,.

"Dingling" The phone in the corridor rang, Xia Ye hurriedly put away the cage, and ran to the landline, "Hello, hello, Qingshan family."

"Hey, little leaf!" Aoyama Shintaro's deep voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Father?" Xia Ye glanced at the calendar hanging above the landline. Today is not the day when Shintaro Aoyama usually calls, so she can't help being a little curious.

After chatting about the current situation at home for a while, Shintaro Aoyama got to the point, "Little Yezi, maybe Dad won't be able to call you guys anymore."

"How long will it take?" Xia Ye's heart sank suddenly, and his tone became heavy. The previous bad premonition came true, and his father wanted to stay away from them and engage in dangerous work.

"Father has a special mission recently." Shintaro Aoyama slowed down his voice.

"Whether you fight zombies or Star Wars, how long will it take me to know that you are safe."

"It's half a year sooner, and I don't know if it's slower."

"Even you don't know," Xia Ye sighed in frustration, "Okay, I will take good care of grandma and Fuyuya, do you want to talk to them, Fuyuya, he is still not tall... ..”

"Oh, that kid must not be drinking the milk properly," a low laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Dad doesn't have much time, please ask me."

"Don't be lazy!" Xia Ye quickly pressed the speakerphone, Aoyama Shintaro's voice instantly spread throughout the house, grandma and Fuyuya rushed to hear it.

"You child..." Aoyama Shintaro smiled wryly.

"Say hello one by one seriously, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to say hello, so I'll fight for you." Xia Ye leaned against the wall and said calmly.

Aoyama Miho took the microphone and babbled for a long time, then handed the phone to Fuyuya, saying nothing more than growing taller quickly, and finally the microphone returned to Xia Ye's hands under the plea of ​​Aoyama Shintaro.

"Xia Ye, seriously, I have a bad feeling this time."

"Then you should pay attention to your body and don't fight so hard. Do you think you are still very young, Mr. Police Department." This sentence is always used every time before disappearing. Aren't they handling cases with the most scientific basis? up.

Aoyama Shintaro was at a loss for words, and it took him a long time to continue, "No, it's yours, my hunch is for you, you know, I have very accurate hunches for the people around me, back then Jingzi... I'm afraid that even if You are in danger and I can’t go to your side. It’s better for you to pay attention. Put away the things I give you, and you may not be able to use them. Changes are too unpredictable. It’s not good to stimulate your grandma. Fight Do less killing and killing, and learn to think in a different direction. That's all dad said, Xia Ye, protect yourself, protect your brother and grandma."

Listening to his father's words, Xia Ye's uneasiness gradually expanded, and she didn't know when to say goodbye to Shintaro Aoyama, until the busy tone came from the phone, and she didn't wake up.

"Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia."

Miho Aoyama looked anxiously at her granddaughter who was wandering off to nowhere.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"I also want to ask what's wrong with you, did Shintaro say something, you look very strange."

"Ah, is that so?" Xia Ye touched her face when she heard the words, "No, my father said that he will be busy with work these days, so he probably won't have time to call us, and I just miss it."

"Really?" Aoyama Miho asked suspiciously.

"Of course! How could I lie to you old man, and what will happen to my father, don't you, Fuyuya." Seeing Aoyama Miho, Xia Ye pulled Fuyuya to be a rescuer.

Fuyuya blinked his black eyes knowingly, "Yeah, Dad's work is going well. I've been busy with sacrifices all day today, and I'm exhausted. I feel so hungry now!"

Hearing her baby grandson shouting for hunger, Miho Aoyama didn't bother to question Xia Ye, "Are you hungry? Grandma, go cook something. Xiao Xia also eats a little. I hardly ate anything after working all day today."

After Aoyama Miho finished speaking, she got into the kitchen, Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't have the confidence to hide it from grandma in the situation just now.Looking at Kami Fuyuya's questioning eyes when she turned sideways, she smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine with Dad." Let's hope, everything will be fine.

Just when Xia Ye was feeling uneasy about the future, on the other side of Waichang Village, at the end of the worm delivery ceremony, something happened that secretly surprised the villagers, and this incident spread throughout Waichang Village the next day. every corner.

"Yesterday...no, it should be today. I heard that a truck came in."

"Truck?" Several old men repeated the word.

"When Papa Matsuo came to help weed just now, he said it was a moving company's truck."

"Huh? Is it Kanezawa?"

"Actually, the public saw it. When they burned the scarecrows that delivered the worm festival, they saw a truck coming in, and turned back after a short while."

"Papa Matsuo's eldest son is also one of the gang. He saw it when he burned the scarecrow? Wasn't that in the middle of the night?" (Original text)

"Hey, when the scarecrows were being burned early this morning, a moving company's car drove into Waichang Village?"

The Qingshan brothers and sisters went to Muto's house to play the next day. Unexpectedly, everyone gathered together to discuss the new things that happened during the worm festival.

"Well, people who participated in the party all mentioned this matter when they came back. Everyone said that it might be the moving team of the main family."

Yasushi Muto said seriously.

"It's also possible that you drove in the wrong direction, because the car stopped at the entrance of the village for a while and then turned back on the same road. Dad said that the people present at the time couldn't close their mouths, and they watched the car leave without saying a word." Muto Aoi said to herself knowledge.

"How can you say this kind of thing clearly? Kansho's house has been built for so long, so it's not surprising that it moved here." Muto Toru shook his head amusedly.

"How can anyone move in the middle of the night, what do you think, Xiao Xia."

What Aoi Muto wanted to ask was Yuuki Natsuno, but as soon as the words came out, two heads turned to her at the same time. "Xia Yechan, I'm used to being called Yuki, I forgot that Grandma Aoyama called you that too." Muto Aoi smiled embarrassedly.

Xia Ye nodded to indicate that it was nothing, and looked at Yuki Natsuno to see what he had to say.

"I don't think it has anything to do with us whether those three cars are also the home. The back-to-school day is coming, Xiaobao. A few days ago, I heard you complain that you didn't finish your homework."

Yuuki Natsuno flipped through a magazine and replied with a lack of interest.

"Haha, I finished that trip with Masao the night before yesterday." Yasushi Muto laughed while rubbing his head, and patted his friend Masao Murakashi's back with his hand.

"Yuki, I don't think you dare to say anything because you don't know anything. Wasn't your father also in the ancestral hall yesterday, and he didn't tell you when he came back?"

Murura Masao asked maliciously.Masao Murakami is an out-and-out outsider, the youngest son of the village rice shop, Xia Ye and Fuyuya have only met him a few times, and they were all at Muto's house. He is very repulsive to outsiders. He didn't even look good when he saw him, and Yuuki Natsuno was not in his welcome list.

It's obviously not his home, who is showing his face, Xia Ye feels deeply powerless every time he sees him.

"Father did not mention it, maybe he thought it had nothing to do with us."

Yuki Natsuno was unmoved, his eyes still glued to the contents of the magazine.

Masao Murakami choked, and wanted to say provocative words again aggressively, Muto Toru changed his target with a haha, "Sure enough, it's very similar to Yuki's answer, Fuyuya, Natsuba, do you have any ideas?"

Fuyuya was busy playing the game, without turning his head, Xia Ye raised his head and asked, "Didn't everyone see what kind of car it is?"

"Well, I heard that I only saw a large truck marked Takasago Transport and two small cars, and I didn't even see what brand it was." Aoi Muto provided clues as much as possible.

"It's hard to guess," Xia Ye spread out his hands, and the villager Masao immediately let out a moan, Xia Yequan was temporarily deaf, "It's just that he came when the scarecrow was burning, and he left when the scarecrow was burning. I think the team of cars didn’t go the wrong way in the first place, but it’s possible that they were frightened when they saw all the hideous masks and the blazing scarecrows, thinking that they had strayed into some terrible place and fled in a hurry.”

"This idea is novel." Yasushi Muto slapped his legs and laughed, and the rest of the people also smiled heartily.

"Sure enough, it's very similar to Xia Ye's idea!" Muto Toru held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The boys and girls in Mood for Love can still gather together to share their knowledge, but they don't know that the danger is approaching, and at some point, friends will disappear from their lives one by one.

The author has something to say: More and more, I will not save the manuscript soon...Finger! !
