no light

Chapter 23

When Wen Yu was in class, he always felt eyes falling on him, but the eyes were not malicious, but calm and gentle.

It wasn't until the end of the last class that Wen Yu turned his head to look at where his gaze was, but saw Xu Jianing sitting there shrunk to a smaller size, with wide eyes open, looking at Wen Yu.

The two looked at each other.Wen Yu saw Xu Jianing smiling with crooked eyebrows and waving at her, the long white skirt fell to the ground, but it didn't really land.

If it was someone else wearing a white dress, there might be a female ghost in white who would come to claim her life, but Xu Jianing gave people a feeling of being refined and immortal, and with some weirdness and whimsy, it was very lively and lively.

Wen Yu didn't realize that when she saw that it was Xu Jianing, her whole body was filled with joy, her whole body became relaxed and happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Sister, why are you here?" Wen Yu looked out with his schoolbag on his back, the sky was still bright and the sun hadn't set yet.Wen Yu looked at Xu Jianing worriedly, and looked around, as if he wanted to see a hole in Xu Jianing.

"I'll pick you up after school." Xu Jianing said to Wen Yu with a wink and a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine, and I can still jump around in front of you, look." Xu Jianing turned around, and still jumped on the spot.

"Guess what I found."

Xu Jianing said with a mysterious face.

Wen Yu followed Xu Jianing to the back of the classroom, and there was an oiled paper umbrella on the ground.

But it was strange, it was completely black, Wen Yu had never seen it before.There is nothing good or bad about this umbrella, it just exudes an ancient atmosphere.

"You see, I came here with this umbrella. I found that as long as I hold the umbrella facing the sun and not be exposed to the sun, I can walk around in the daytime with this umbrella."

This black umbrella was accidentally discovered by Xu Jianing when he was wandering on the mountain. It was hidden in the grass and could not be seen. If Xu Jianing hadn't almost tripped over, he might have missed it.

"Does it hurt?" Wen Yu looked at Xu Jianing.

If you find this, you should try it several times with an umbrella.

Xu Jianing immediately reacted and shook his head.

"It doesn't hurt. I'm smart enough to see it right away."

Xu Jianing said slyly.

The topic changed.

"Ah, no, come out during the day, and an umbrella is wobbly floating in the air, and someone will definitely be scared." Wen Yu comforted Xu Jianing, "It's okay, it's fine if they don't find out."

When Xu Jianing found out about this, she was so pleasantly surprised that in the afternoon when Wen Yu was about to leave school, she rushed over to wait for Wen Yu, wanting to tell Wen Yu to share the good news.

Although Xu Jianing looks young on the outside, she was already 16 years old at that time. After a hundred years of long years, it is not too much for Wen Yu to call her grandma.Calling her sister is still a little bit behind.

But Xu Jianing didn't say anything, just followed Wen Yu's name.

Later, Wen Yu didn't know when to change her name, and every time it sounded precious and affectionate.Let Xu Jianing swallow back all the words that are not big or small, and of inferior seniority, and let Wen Yu call her, but she prefers Wen Yu to call her sister.

Wen Yu is 14 years old this year, and he is about as tall as Xu Jianing when he stands up. Uncle Chai has raised Wen Yu well, and he has grown some flesh.

When Wen Yu was a child, he could tell from his facial features that he was a beauty, but it was a pity that he was too thin because of starvation.After being fed by Uncle Chai and Xu Jianing, it is now fully grown, and its facial features are highlighted, delicate and colorful.

Since Xu Jianing finished explaining that day, she took Wen Yu to run around the school and the back hills, and from time to time a ghost idea popped up in her head, asking Wen Yu to play with her, as if she wanted to clean up all the loneliness in the past.

Wen Yu let her be happy.

"Wen Yu." Xu Jianing waved to Wen Yu. "Come here quickly, let's go to the mountain to catch fish." "Hurry up!" Xu Jianing said excitedly. She wandered around the mountain yesterday and found a small stream, but she didn't know where it ended.

"Sister, go slowly, don't worry."

The mountain road was rough and bumpy, Wen Yu followed Xu Jianing and walked into the mountain.Turning left and right, walking all the way down, even Wen Yu couldn't remember the way he came.

This direction is too biased, there are tall trees all around, and the mottled shadows of the trees fall on the ground, and when I look up, it is completely blocked by the leaves.Barely through the gap, the light can be seen.

"Wen Yu, follow me closely."

Wen Yu responded, and after a while, the sound of running water could be heard.After walking a few more steps, I saw a stream flowing in front of me.

This is amazing, Wen Yu has run up this mountain countless times, and Wen Yu can't remember the number of times.At first it was to hide from those little kids, but then they were scared by Xu Jianing so they kept themselves safe and didn't dare to trouble him.Wen Yu's life became more comfortable.

Later, it was to hide from Brother Wen, but it wasn't really hiding.I just don't want to meet him, every time Wen Yu gets involved with Brother Wen, nothing good will happen.

Brother Wen was used to bullying Wen Yu at home, but he didn't expect to "think about" Wen Yu all the time after he got to school.

Wen Yu really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Brother Wen was trained by his father, don't "bully" Wen Yu anymore.In those years, Brother Wen bullied Wen Yu, and Dad saw it, but he didn't care, and let Brother Wen make trouble.

Advising Brother Wen now, of course, is not some kind of father's conscience discovery, father's love is renewed, he just wants to build a good relationship with Uncle Chai.

For whom?For his good son, of course.

Brother Wen was scolded by his father, so of course he was not happy.Naturally, he tortured Wen Yu in different ways and bullied her hard.Wen Yu never argues with him, it's better to stay away from him.

But one time, Uncle Chai saw Brother Wen bullying Wen Yu, and Uncle Chai beat him up.Brother Wen cried on the spot and wanted to go home to find his mother and father, but was carried home by Uncle Chai.

Brother Wen felt like chickens and ducks about to be slaughtered. Uncle Chai choked his life, unable to move, and could only wait aggrievedly for the final judgment of fate.

Uncle Chai easily carried Brother Wen into the courtyard and asked Dad to come out.Brother Wen was extremely wronged along the way, and he dared not speak out in anger.The people in the village saw him being carried all the way, and all their eyes were on Wendy, making Wendy feel uncomfortable and being laughed at.

Abba and Uncle Chai confronted each other in the yard, and Wendy thought that Abba would "revenge" him, but in the end Abba "taught" Wendy in front of Uncle Chai.

Of course it wasn't a real lesson, he wouldn't want his son to suffer, but he still had to put on a show. Dad apologized to Uncle Chai, saying that he didn't teach Brother Wen well, and said that these were all jokes between their siblings.As for children, it's normal to have any quarrels and fights between them. It's not that serious. They never mention asking Brother Wen to apologize to Wen Yu.

Uncle Chai sneered, he still can't see this trick?

"Father Wen Yu, your acting skills need to be improved."

Uncle Chai directly exposed Abba's fake acting skills and didn't buy it.

Uncle Chai knew that Wen Yu's father would not listen to his words.

Direct warning, "Don't let me see Brother Wen bullying Wen Yu again..."

The words are not finished, but the tone is deep and meaningful, which is thought-provoking.

Of course Brother Wen couldn't see Abba's intentions, he just felt that Abba had changed, and it made him lose face by beating him in front of an outsider and not helping him get justice, and this outsider had also beaten him before. He has a meal.Brother Wen only felt that his father didn't love him anymore.

Brother Wen hated Wen Yu more and more. He felt that he was not wrong to treat Wen Yu like this, and Wen Yu deserved it for asking.After being "insulted" by Uncle Chai once, he secretly played tricks to bully Wen Yu behind his back.He thought that Wen Yu didn't know and would not complain to Uncle Chai. In fact, Wen Yu knew about it, but she didn't want to argue with Brother Wen.

"Let's catch some fish and give it to Uncle Chai."

Xu Jianing held an umbrella and stood in the river.

She can touch the running water and step on the stones at the bottom of the river, but she doesn't feel it.How can a ghost feel human touch.

But Xu Jianing found that she could touch living things through things, just like now, she is holding a stick to stick a fish.

"Okay." Wen Yu joined in with a smile.

After half a day, they were sitting on the ground, Wen Yulei was out of breath, while Xu Jianing looked very weak.

I'm so tired, after working for a long time, the sun is going to set.

The afterglow shines on them, refracted in the stream.

It's a moment of tranquility that both enjoy.

"The mushrooms on the mountain should not be eaten indiscriminately, some are poisonous mushrooms."

When Xu Jianing saw that Wen Yu was about to pick the brightly colored red mushroom, Xu Jianing hurriedly stopped him.

"Wen Yu. Those good-looking mushrooms are mostly ostentatious, so they can't be eaten. If you eat them, you will be poisoned." Xu Jianing earnestly said.

Wen Yu withdrew her hand embarrassingly. To tell the truth, she was planning to pick some mushrooms for Uncle Chai.

Fortunately, fortunately.Otherwise, it would be Uncle Chai who ate the poisonous mushroom.

In fact, Wen Yu has never seen this mushroom before. This may be due to ignorance of common sense. Wen Yu thought that all mushrooms could be eaten.

It seems that the mushrooms that Wen Yu picked for Uncle Chai in the past were all crooked and edible, otherwise Uncle Chai would be the first to find out and send Wen Yu to the old medical clinic in the village to see a doctor.

"Look, this kind of white rod and red hat is covered with dots. It looks fat. This kind of inedible mushroom is a poisonous mushroom."

"The other one is also red, but the cap on the stem is round, and it looks like a big piece, and the one that rolls up a little bit is also a poisonous mushroom. And don't eat that kind of stem and cap that are all white. You know, and, and..."

Wen Yu came back to his senses, and unconsciously thought of that time he went to the mountain to pick mushrooms.Originally, I planned to pick a bunch of mushrooms to give to Uncle Chai, but it turned out to be Xu Jianing's teaching.

"Uncle Chai, I brought you fish."

The two fish were impaled by two tree sticks, struggling half-dead, their tails flicked and their mouths moved unconsciously.

Uncle Chai was taking a nap in the store, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, it was Wen Yu calling him.He looked at the time, at seven o'clock in the evening, when he opened the door, he saw Wen Yu

Hold two fish.

Wen Yu gave the fish to Uncle Chai. "Where... did you get this?"

Uncle Chai was puzzled, and looked at Wen Yu, looking left and right, but he couldn't see why.

Wen Yu smiled slyly, "It's a secret, you can't tell it."

"Uncle Chai, this is a thank you gift."

Thank you for always taking care of me.

After Wen Yu finished speaking, he waved his hands, and quickly slipped away before Uncle Chai could react.

Uncle Chai shook his head helplessly, and went back with the two fish.

Wen Yu and Xu Jianing often sit on the playground at night and watch the stars.

Ever since he knew that Xu Jianing could touch objects, Wen Yu would often prepare a rope, which was azure, and tie it around his and Xu Jianing's wrists.As long as the rope is connected, Wen Yu knows where Xu Jianing is.

Wen Yu understood Xu Jianing's unspoken fear.

The beginning of becoming a ghost is completely opposite to the usual schedule.Only come out at night.All this is unknown to her, she is a ghost but it doesn't mean she is not afraid of ghosts.In the dark night, it was very quiet, not as noisy as in the morning, but it was also very deserted.

And Xu Jianing spent such nights day after day.

Xu Jianing also understands Wen Yu, and knows that Wen Yu's wish is to get out of here, and also knows that Wen Yu is very grateful to Uncle Chai, and always wants to repay Uncle Chai.

Neither of them said it clearly, but they could understand each other, because they knew each other well enough.

All the misfortune and waiting seemed to be for their encounter at this moment.

Xu Jianing didn't tell Wen Yu that she could feel that she would leave, she didn't know the exact date.Xu Jianing has long decided in her heart that even if she can really leave here by then, she will accompany Wen Yu and leave here together.

Wen Yu concealed the matter of Yuhuan from Xu Jianing, not because Wen Yu didn't trust Xu Jianing, but because she promised the fortune teller that no one would know about Yuhuan's existence.Wen Yu waited for the next time she saw the fortune teller, and when the fortune teller told Xu Jianing to know, she would immediately confess to Xu Jianing.

Xu Jianing would also chat with Wen Yu about the flowers and plants around him, about the world, about the universe they knew.From time to time, he would give Wen Yu Ke popularization of what mushrooms can be eaten and what mushrooms cannot be eaten.

They chat endlessly, but not on purpose.

"Wen Yu, how do you want to spend your birthday this year?"

"I want you to accompany me to watch Chang Gung Star and Morning Star, wait for the sunset and the sunrise, and accompany me from dark to dawn."

"This is the birthday present every year. I can accompany you every day."

Xu Jianing, I hope you will be by my side every day, every month, every year.

After my birthday, I am one year older. In my opinion, birthday is my new beginning every year. I hope that my first day of every year will be spent with you.

"Xu Jianing, what birthday present do you want?"

"Me, I want Wen Yu to be happy every day, especially when he is with me."

"Change to another one, this has already been realized. Don't make me, make your own wish, and I will help you realize it."

"This is my greatest wish, Wen Yu."

I'll be with you until we're all out of here.

The boat went straight when it reached the bridge, Wen Yu thought they would leave together, and she would go to the fortune teller.If there is a problem, there will naturally be a solution, Wen Yu does not believe that Xu Jianing will always be stuck here.

For this reason, Wen Yu often went to see Uncle Chai on sunny days when Xu Jianing couldn't come out, and on holidays.Uncle Chai has a lot of treasures, even ancient books, and Wen Yu often goes to read the materials.

She wants to find a solution.

But hope is always in vain.

Wen Yu will not give up.

She has fantasized about the future with Xu Jianing countless times, but it is definitely not like this, she will never give up.
