The Taste of Ghosts in the World

"Help me...you just help me..."

Unable to bear the chatter of the dead man, Qi Mu poked his head out from the computer and asked him, "What's the matter? You were hit by a car?"

"It's not me, it's my daughter!" Uncle Killer dragged his daughter, "Look, what can we do!"

"What should I do?" Qi Mu looked around at the decapitated female ghost, "Where's her head?"

The dead ghost said: "That's it! My daughter's head is gone!"

"Gone again?"

The dead ghost rubbed his hands together and said, "You also know that my daughter likes tossing her head for fun, and she will definitely miss it. We happened to pass by a cornfield, and the head fell off."

"If you lost your head, look for it!"

"I found it..." the dead ghost said sadly: "I didn't find it."

Qi Mu couldn't laugh or cry, "How did you become ghosts? You can even play with your head, and the head is not a thing. Can you let you play like this?"

"Oh, I know we are wrong, but we must get my daughter's head back! You see, she is stupid again without her head, and she can't even speak!"

Qi Mu looked at the silent female ghost beside him, she hadn't seen this look for a long time.

Feng Baisui floated over, and said calmly: "This is not bad, it's not noisy."

"That can't be done!" The dead ghost was in a hurry, "The head is such an important thing, how can you just say no to it!"

Qi Mu said: "You also know the importance? How can such important things be thrown around?"

"..." The dead ghost was at a loss for words.

Qi Mu had no choice but to turn off the computer and go out, "Which cornfield did you pass by?"

"You are really a good person!" The ghost who killed himself said with tears in his eyes, "I will lead you the way."

Qi Mu asked Feng Baisui again: "Are you going?" The latter floated over noncommittal.

"You are not possessed anymore?"

Feng Baisui said: "The corn field is on the outskirts of the city, right? Are you planning to bring your pet with you on the bus?"

……

After getting out of the car, in front of him was a vast cornfield, Qi Mu really wanted to turn around and leave.

"You asked me to search in this—such a large field?"

The dead ghost said: "It's not too big, it just fell around here."

Qi Mu had no choice but to walk into the field with a headache.

"It's a waste of time. Let's search separately. If you find it, call out and you should be able to hear it."

So Feng Baisui and Bumping Dead Ghost split into two ways and got into the corn bushes, while Qi Mu walked forward alone.

Fortunately, it is late autumn now, the corn has been taken away long ago, and only some poles are left in the field, and no one will meet.But the corn stalks alone are very troublesome. They grow tall and dense, and the visibility is very low, making it difficult to move forward.

While pushing aside those corn stalks, Qi Mu paid attention to his feet, walked very slowly, and couldn't see anything like a head at all. After searching for a while, he suddenly heard someone say, "Brother, what are you looking for?"

Qi Mu looked up, and there was a little girl standing beside the corn stalk in front, about seven or eight years old, wearing a dirty dress, "I'm looking for something black and round." Qi Mu made a gesture, "There's a lot of hair growing on it."

The little girl opened her eyes wide, "What is that?"

Qi Mu thought for a while and answered her, "It's a kind of toy."

The little girl said, "Then I'll help you find it. If we find it, let's play together, shall we?"

"Okay."

The little girl ran over and stretched out her muddy hand, "My name is Miao Miao, what's your name?"

Qi Mu hesitated for a moment, but still held her hand, "My name is Qi Mu."

"Qi Mu..." Miao Miao repeated it lightly in her mouth, and asked again: "Is it neat and tidy, the wood of the trees?"

"Yes, really smart." Qi Mu didn't refute.

Miao Miao giggled, "Of course, the teacher taught it!"

"Miao Miao."

"Ok?"

"Where are your parents?"

"Mom and Dad have to guard the ground and sleep in the shed. I ran out to play alone."

The two searched for a while, and Miao Miao asked Qi Mu, "Do you live nearby? Why did you leave your toys in the cornfield?"

Immediately, the figures of the father and daughter who killed the ghost appeared in front of Qi Mu, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It wasn't me, it was lost by other people passing by, I'll help them find it."

"Ah, you are so kind!" Miao Miao smiled happily, and pulled Qi Mu to go deeper, "Maybe that toy is inside..."

Qi Mu let her drag him away, and looked around, there were all the same corn stalks, he couldn't remember which direction he came in from before.

"Miao Miao, the sun is almost setting, I have to go back today."

Miao Miao stopped, turned to look at him, her big eyes were watery: "Then are you coming tomorrow?"

Qi Mu nodded, "Here."

"Okay, goodbye brother."

Miao Miao waved to him, turned around and disappeared into the corn bushes.

Qi Mu stood there wondering how to get out, when he heard a rustling sound from the side, Feng Baisui poked his head out from between the corn stalks, and asked him, "Did you find it?"

"I might be lost." Qi Mu said to him, Feng Baisui glanced at the direction Miao Miao left, and then said: "Follow me."

Qi Mu followed him absent-mindedly, but his mind was thinking about Miao Miao just now, a little girl playing in the corn field with all her body dirty, could it be their family's land?But now that summer is over, and all the corn that should be harvested has been harvested, this land is currently deserted, why do children come here?

It may be that what he sees is different from others, Qi Mu doesn't really believe his eyes, he has a faint feeling that there is something wrong with this Miao Miao.

After a long time, he finally escaped from the corn bushes, Feng Baisui stood idly by the side of the dirt road, seeing him coming out, he said, "It's so slow."

Qi Mu said angrily: "You can go through it directly, I have to avoid those corn stalks, there is no comparison."

Looking left and right, he didn't see the dead ghost, Qi Mu yelled a few times, and saw him floating out dejectedly.

"I remember it should be there, why is it gone..."

When he got home, seeing his daughter's headless appearance, the dead ghost became anxious again, and wanted to look for it again. Qi Mu stopped him and said, "I can't find it during the day, so you can't go at night, maybe you will run into her again." what."

The dead ghost had no choice but to keep circling in the living room while muttering.

Feng Baisui suddenly said: "I think that cornfield is weird."

"What's weird? No corn?" Qi Mu asked him.

Feng Baisui glanced at him, and then said: "When I looked outside, it wasn't that big at all, but when I went inside, I found that no matter how I walked, I couldn't reach the end. If I didn't float into the air, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out."

Qi Mu suddenly realized: "No wonder I get lost."

"It's your personal problem that you got lost, not the cornfield."

"..."

The dead ghost stopped and said, "Could this be the ghost hitting the wall in the legend? What about the girl's head? Was it hidden by the ghost?"

"possible."

The next day, in order to prevent being trapped, they changed their plan and split into two routes—Killing Ghost himself, and Qi Mu and Feng Baisui together.

When Qi Mu entered the corn field, he walked forward purposefully. Feng Baisui floated beside him and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

Qi Mu smiled faintly, "Isn't there you."

"...do you know where the head is?"

"do not know."

"I didn't know you were walking so fast."

Qi Mu stopped and said, "Because I'm looking for someone."

"Find someone?"

Qi Mu didn't answer, Feng Baisui had already seen the little girl in front, "Her?"

Qi Mu nodded, Miao Miao was very happy to see him, and quickly ran over to his arms, "Qi Mu, you came so early today!"

Qi Mu tapped her on the head, "It's rude to call you brother."

"I don't want to call." Miao Miao pouted, "Many brothers are bad people, you are different from them."

"Why is it different?" Feng Baisui reached out and grabbed her collar to pull her away.

Miao Miao was startled, quickly grabbed Qi Mu's hand, and looked at Feng Baisui vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Qi Mu explained: "It's another brother."

Feng Baisui was displeased, "I don't have a name?"

"Ah, his eyes are so terrifying!" Miao Miao buried her face in Qi Mu's arms.

Qi Mu patted her head and said: "Okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Feng Baisui was even more upset, and asked Qi Mu, "Do I look like a bad guy?"

"You don't look like you when you're attached to a dog." Qi Mu didn't look at his stern face, but instead asked Miao Miao: "Why are so many older brothers bad guys?"

Miao Miao thought for a while and said, "And uncle. They are all bad guys!"

"Why are they bad?"

Miao Miao was silent for a while, and did not answer, but held Qi Mu's hand, "Let's go find toys! We haven't looked for them before."

Qi Mu didn't continue to ask, and followed her wishes.

Feng Baisui floated to his side and whispered, "Have you noticed?"

Qi Mu looked at Miao Miao who was bouncing around, and gave a barely audible "hmm".

Feng Baisui was unhappy, "You know you still follow?"

Qi Mu spread his hands and said, "I can't help it, I need to change my job, don't I?"

Feng Baisui said leisurely: "It doesn't matter, it's not my head."

Miao Miao was happily walking ahead, but suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"Look what I found?" Miao Miao squatted down, pointing to a small dirt bag on the ground, "This is the cricket's nest. I like digging it the most. If I catch it, I can fry it and eat it!"

"Really?" Qi Mu also squatted down, and used his fingers to poke away the fine soil at the entrance of the cave, "Do you want to dig?"

"En!" Miao Miao nodded vigorously.

Qi Mu said to Feng Baisui: "Come here and help." The latter walked over impatiently, and was about to wave his hand when Qi Mu reminded, "Dug it yourself."

Feng Baisui had no choice but to squat down and dig the hole with his hands, a fat black cricket crawled out from the uncovered soil, Qi Mu quickly covered it with eyes and hands, lifted it up and dangled in front of his eyes.

"This is it?"

"That's it!" Miao Miao clapped her hands happily, "I was worried that it was an ant nest!"

"Ah, there's another..."

Unknowingly playing with her for a long time, Qi Mu looked at the sky, stood up and patted the dirt off his pants.

Miao Miao's smiling face immediately collapsed, and she asked him in a low voice, "Are you going back?"

"Well, I'll be back tomorrow."

Qi Mu reassured her, and then left with Feng Baisui. The two of them had nothing to say until they walked out of the corn field.

"Do you know what she is?" Feng Baisui asked Qi Mu.

"I know." Qi Mu replied flatly, "We will continue to come tomorrow, she must know where the head is."

"Are you not afraid that she will harm you?"

"Yes, she will probably trap me in the cornfield..." Qi Mu seemed to think seriously for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Isn't there still you."

"..."
