Just when the child needs comfort, the child's family members focus on the child's younger brother, and are somewhat indifferent to the child.
It's strange that the child is so happy.
Although she was clearly at home, the girl acted a little restrained.
The round-faced old lady is not without worries.
It's just that she can't say much about other people's family matters.
What she can do is to call her every time she sees the child, talk to her, and give her some snacks or fruits made by herself.
The child smiled sweetly every time and said: Thank you, grandma.
Now that she knew she had such a good friend, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
The child will live well.
…
"Classmate Xiao, are you planning to go back?"
the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Uncle Chen, you-"
"I send you."
The middle-aged man interrupted Xiao Xiao.
"I sent you here, so naturally I have to finish it from beginning to end, and then send you back safely."
"That's right."
Mother Chen ended her conversation with the round-faced old lady and turned to look over, "Classmate Xiao, ask Xiao Lei to take you back."
"Anyway, he's going back alone."
“It’s a good deal to bring one more person.”
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Chen."
Xiao Xiao did not refuse again.
"It's just, Uncle Chen, I have to go to one more place before going back."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then understood, "Oh, that place?"
"OK."
…
Where?
The two old men were a little confused, but they didn't ask any more questions.
"Classmate Xiao, right?"
The round-faced old lady looked at Xiao Xiao, "If you have any news about Coco later, can you tell me?"
"I want to know if the child is doing well now..."
"You can just tell Xiao Lei when the time comes."
"Let him tell his mother, and then let his mother tell me."
"You are so circuitous."
Mother Chen twitched her eyes.
...
"OK."
Xiao Xiao responded with a smile, "If there is any news, I will ask Uncle Chen to tell you."
"Thank you, classmate Xiao."
"sorry to bother you."
The round-faced old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
...
"Mom, are you going home?"
the middle-aged man asked.
Mother Chen waved her hand, "If you don't come back, I'll stay with your Aunt Li for a while."
"Do not bother me."
"Let's go."
"Aren't you going somewhere else?"
"Um."
"Mom, let's go."
"Aunt Li, goodbye."
Mother Chen's previous words finally solved the middle-aged man's dilemma of not knowing how to address the round-faced old lady.
"Classmate Xiao, let's go."
The middle-aged man greeted Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two old people, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Goodbye."
"Hey, goodbye, classmate Xiao."
The round-faced old lady waved her hand, "Be careful on the road."
"Xiao Lei, we need to send classmate Xiao to school safely."
Chen's mother told the middle-aged man, "Drive slower on the road and pay attention to safety."
"It's still early, there's no need to rush."
"I know, Mom."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Mom, let's go."
"Why."
The two old men took the two of them to the entrance of the yard.
After watching the two people's backs disappear at the intersection, they withdrew their gaze and turned around and entered the yard.
…
Xiao Xiao and the middle-aged man returned to the old lady's house first.
After all, the car is parked there.
Then, without Xiao Xiao's reminder, the middle-aged man had already turned around and headed towards the mountain where the tomb ghost was.
"Classmate Xiao, are you going to tell the tomb ghost the news?"
The middle-aged man raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xiao in the back seat, and spoke to break the silence in the car.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the little white fox lying in his arms.
The soft hair shimmered slightly in the morning light shining in from the car window.
"I promised it would give it a reply today."
...
grown ups!
Xiao Xiao, who was climbing up the stairs, was slightly startled by the sudden voice in his head.
This voice...
He raised his eyes and saw the monster floating quickly towards this side.
"Grave ghost."
He smiled slightly.
...
The middle-aged man leading the way heard the movement behind him and subconsciously looked back.
Only then did I realize that Xiao Xiao had stopped at some point.
Reacting to what I vaguely heard just now...
"Grave ghost?"
The man immediately raised his head and looked around.
There was a secluded mountain scene all around, and except for him and classmate Xiao, he saw no other living things.
Unexpectedly nothing.
He sighed inwardly.
There was still a hint of disappointment in his eyebrows.
He thought there would be something different if he came here today.
Sure enough, he was overthinking.
He shook his head slightly, then looked at Xiao Xiao, "Classmate Xiao, is the tomb ghost here?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It seems that it is also very anxious."
The middle-aged man smiled.
I do understand the Tomb Ghost's impatient mood.
Because he understood, he also regretted that Aunt Li did not have the contact information of the girl's family and did not know where the girl's family had moved.
Otherwise, they would be able to give the Tomb Ghost a definite reply at this time.
...
"Um."
Seeing the way the Tomb Ghost was clearly looking forward to it but pretending to be nonchalant as it floated in front of him, Xiao Xiao responded softly.
He didn't sell out.
"Grave Ghost, it will take some time to find the girl."
...
The Tomb Ghost was naturally a little disappointed.
But we also know the difficulty of "finding a needle in a haystack".
It's not in a hurry.
Anyway, so many years have passed, and there is nothing to be anxious about.
A smile appeared on the grave ghost's face.
grown ups.
You don't have to worry.
Just take your time.
actually......
I don't mean to know too much.
As long as you know that she is fine and nothing unexpected happened, it will be fine.
Although if the girl had no accident, then the reason why she has not come to visit the grave for so many years...
Maybe it's better not to know?
It doesn't know.
...
"Grave Ghost, I will come over and tell you as soon as there is news."
Xiao Xiao made a promise to the monster.
Um.
The grave ghost nodded vigorously.
After all, it still wants to know in its heart.
Why did the girl suddenly stop coming?
...
"Uncle Chen, let's go back."
Xiao Xiao turned to look at the middle-aged man.
"ah?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, "I just told it that it needs to wait some more time."
"oh oh."
The middle-aged man nodded.
indeed.
The tomb ghosts have come by themselves, and if they have to tell the tomb ghosts what they want to say, they don't need to continue walking to that cemetery, but can leave.
...
"Grave ghost, goodbye."
Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the monster.
The middle-aged man followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and moved his lips a few times, but finally said nothing.
...
Goodbye, my lord.
The tomb ghost bent down slightly.
After a few breaths, it stood up and watched the human's back getting further and further away. After hesitating for a while, it slowly followed him.
The adults are helping it find a girl, so its attitude should naturally be better.
