"Sister Hutao, are you still alive?"

Hu Tao was happily telling Yang Lin how she was playing tricks, when she suddenly heard a familiar middle-aged male voice with a thick nasal voice, and froze instantly.

Hu Tao stuffed the final ticket into Yang Lin's hand, "It's too late to explain! I can't appear here now, and I can't accompany you to the competition, goodbye!"

"Alas." Yang Lin looked at her running back and guessed something.

"Do you know that little girl just now?" When the uncle came to him, Hu Tao had already disappeared.

"I know you. He gave me the ticket." Yang Lin stepped back and slipped away while he was looking around, leaving the uncle alone at the gate of the haunted house.

"Where's the person? Damn it!" The uncle panicked in his heart.

When Yang Lin came home, Hu Tao had already changed into regular clothes, sitting in front of the electric fan, squinting his eyes like a lazy cat, feeling very comfortable.

"You're back!" She tilted her head slightly, and her crisp voice trembled like an electronic sound through the fan.

Yang Lin suddenly wanted to play games.

"Sure. Ah Qiu recommended a game called "Silent Hill" and said that I would definitely like it. Look for it and see if it is available." Hu Tao's hair was half-wet, and it was not uncomfortable when it was draped over his shoulders, and he wanted to blow it again a while.

Yang Lin squatted in the TV cabinet, feeling that "Silent Hill" sounded a bit eerie, but after a look, it was indeed a horror game.

"Oh." He put the CD back, as if nothing happened.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Hearing Yang Lin's sound of closing the drawer, Hu Tao pushed up her bangs on her forehead, revealing big piercing eyes.

"I'm sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Yang Lin pretended to yawn.

Hu Tao curled her lips, and the rare enthusiasm for the game also subsided.It was a long, long time before she thought about the game again.

Tomorrow was supposed to be the final, but because something happened to the TV station, it was postponed to the second afternoon after the Ghost Festival.

Yang Lin didn't care. After all, as the Ghost Festival was approaching, the business of the paper making shop was very good. If he had to prepare for the competition, he would be too busy.

Hu Tao was dejected for a few seconds, and when he heard that there was an activity on the Ghost Festival, he regained his energy.

Because there is no adult in the Yang Lin family, there is no need to prepare a table of good food for the "good brothers" passing by, so they went to the river early to release the water lanterns.

The water lamps on their side are not the same as what Walnut saw on TV. They are not lotus-shaped, but eerie small palaces made of paper. Fortunately, after lighting the candle in the middle, the warm yellow light neutralizes it. There is a lot of Yin Qi floating on the water, one after another, it feels like a different world.

"These lights are for the passing souls to illuminate the way. Most adults will write their names on them and pray for the protection of the dead souls." Yang Lin wrote his and Hu Tao's names on it, and added the sentence "respect the shadows" .

"What if the lamp burns in the middle of swimming?" Walnut put the lamp on the water, and stroked the water next to it with his hand, trying to make it swim farther.

"It's okay, that's the response of the dead souls to you. The farther the water lantern floats, the more blessed the benefactor will be." As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the water lantern they worshiped suddenly caught fire.

It only drifted two meters away, less than one-tenth of the distance of others, and it spontaneously ignited.

Yang Lin's right eye jumped immediately.

"Hahaha!" Hu Tao actually had the heart to laugh, "You ghosts are not very reliable!"

"..."

"Don't worry! I don't feel the power of any ghost at all." Hu Tao habitually hooked his shoulders, "Oh, why are you taller than me?"

"Wow, Yang Lin, you've really grown a lot taller!" Hu Tao realized that she was about to raise her head to look at him when she was standing beside him.We have been together day and night for so long, but growing tall seems to be a matter of overnight.

"I want to eat barbecue!" Hu Tao tiptoed to hide and seek with his own shadow, and after a while, he started to walk backwards, letting his own shadow fall in front of him.

"Why?" Yang Lin, who was observing the direction of her shadow, was somewhat puzzled.

"Congratulations on your growing taller!" Her eyes shone brightly, as if she was saying something that couldn't be more ordinary.

Growing taller is something worth celebrating.Yang Lin thought to himself.

Although he felt that Hu Tao saw him when he went out to bring money today.

"Ok."

After the Ghost Festival passed, the day of the finals soon came.

The final was held in the town hall in the center of the town. It can be seen that this competition is quite valued. In addition to the reporters from the city TV station, the deputy county magistrate also came. Uncle Yang was so happy that he even greeted him with a smile when he saw a walnut .

"Behave well, don't embarrass our Yang family!" The second uncle patted Yang Lin's shoulder with a generous palm, "But the ranking is not important, you are already very popular when you are on TV at such a young age. good!"

Yang Lin's thin shoulders couldn't bear the repeated torture by his second uncle, so he ran away with the excuse of entering the arena without talking a few words.

Hu Tao was sitting in the auditorium, together with Ah Qiu, holding a small flag and waving to him.

Yang Lin relaxed his shoulders and smiled back.

Several old masters in the arena belonged to Yangjia Town, and Yang Lin looked familiar, so he greeted them politely.The rest of them should be from other places, their accents are a bit different, Yang Lin just nodded his head.

The game has not officially started yet, and less than half of the 200-seat seats are occupied by the audience, and half of the audience are relatives and friends, such as Yang Lin's relatives and friends, plus Hutao's followers, there are as many as eight people .

"Brother, come on!" The blond afro sitting behind Hu Tao shouted Yang Lin's name vigorously, attracting the attention of others.

Yang Lin's face turned dark.

"Hu Tao, is your Yang Lin a little nervous? Look at his little face." Afro sat behind Hu Tao, looking for something to say.Ever since Hu Tao gave a lesson after delivering wreaths on Lantern Street last time, he stopped pretending to be deep and started chatting with her every day with some unnutritious words.

"Did you wear double ponytails on purpose today? Did you know I would show up?" Afro looked at her round head, wondering how could someone have such a good-looking back of the head.

"It's been a long time since I saw your double ponytails. I still remember the first time I saw you, you were wearing double ponytails. At that time, I thought you were a killer from behind and wanted to whistle at you, but when I saw you You are so straight, you can’t even speak, hahaha..."

Afro laughed happily, and his little brothers followed suit hahaha.

"You're so annoying." Without looking back, Hu Tao raised the soda can in his hand and squashed it flat.

"Oh."

Yang Lin, who was sitting in front of the tool table, couldn't help laughing when he saw Hu Tao's actions from the corner of his eye.

This scene was captured in the camera, and in the mouth of the host, it became a youthful self-confidence, and there are successors of traditional culture.

"..." Yang Lin faced the camera and laughed twice, praying that this scene would not be shown on TV, otherwise he would be laughed to death by his classmates when school started.

After the host warmed up, the game began.

This competition is only given for 3 hours, and 10 craftsmen compete on the same stage, using the existing materials on the table to create themed works.

Compared with other craftsmen, Yang Lin is inexperienced and his hand speed is slightly inferior, but he has an active mind and can always innovate.He is confident that no matter what the theme is, he can produce enough eye-catching works.

"Today's theme, at the suggestion of our Folk Customs Committee member, has been changed to—to offer a heartfelt gift to the deceased relatives..."

The applause sounded one after another, converging into a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and hitting Yang Lin's heart.

His eyes drifted to the VIP seats on the second floor, trying to find the figure of the second uncle there, he wanted to ask why, why such a theme came up, and why he didn't tell him.

But the second uncle stood at the very edge of the crowd, unable to squeeze into the core position at all, and Yang Lin couldn't even see his face clearly.

"..." Yang Lin lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

A deceased relative?It's ridiculous to ask him to send his heart to someone who he doesn't even want to remember.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Lin got up from the table, and the camera immediately pointed at him from the side.

"Do you need anything, kid?" The host came to him very considerately.

Yang Lin looked at the crowded audience, his mind went blank.
