If there wasn't anything about the man's voice that made her feel uncomfortable, she would have hung up the phone even if the other party called her name.
The man's hesitation made her think that maybe this strange gentleman really wanted to see her for something.
After all, this number called her so many times.
A whole five.
She was sleeping before and put her cell phone on the bedside table on silent mode, so she never heard the call.
I woke up at this time, took my phone and looked at it, only to find that there were so many missed calls.
It's rare for someone to call her so many times.
Although it is an unfamiliar number.
She didn't know if she would keep calling from this number if she didn't answer it this time.
It was undeniable that she was really curious.
I'm curious about the content of this call.
…
"Is such that……"
The girl's voice undoubtedly means urging.
The middle-aged man calmed down and spoke slowly, "Do you still remember the Tomb Ghost?"
"……ah?"
The girl looked confused, "Tomb ghost?"
"what is that?"
The middle-aged man was stunned.
"The person's name?"
The girl's voice kept coming, "Is this your real name?"
Would anyone really take this name?
A name with the word "ghost" in it?
Although I was confused, I said, "Sorry."
"I do not know him."
"No, it's not human."
The middle-aged man subconsciously corrected the girl's statement.
Classmate Xiao said that the tomb ghost is a monster.
But, don’t you know...?
The middle-aged man's heart sank slightly.
Did the girl simply forget about the tomb ghost, or did the girl just never know the name of the tomb ghost?
…
"……not human?"
The girl became more and more surprised and confused, "Is that the name of an animal?"
This is much easier to accept than a person's name.
It is true that some people give their pets some weird names.
But, "Why are you asking me?"
The girl has never had a pet, and she knows that her family will not allow it.
"Whether the grave ghost is a human or an animal, I don't know it."
"You got the wrong guy."
…
"It's not an animal."
The middle-aged man once again denied the girl's speculation.
He hoped that the girl had not forgotten the Tomb Ghost, but was just unfamiliar with the name.
…
"...Ah~?"
The girl opened her mouth and said, "It's not a human or an animal, so what is it?"
"I'm sorry, sir, could you speak more clearly?"
The girl reached out and rubbed her temples.
My brain, which was already a little confused when I woke up, was even more dizzy now, "Why do you have my phone number?"
"You know my name."
"Do you know me?"
"Why do you think I know... the tomb ghost?"
…
The girl asked a lot of questions.
The middle-aged man has completely returned to his normal state.
After all, he was talking to a strange girl on the phone about monsters, so it was the first time in his life that he still felt a little nervous.
"Chu Kexin, why don't you go visit the grave?"
The middle-aged man asked a different question.
Otherwise, if he was asked to describe the appearance of a tomb ghost to a girl, how could he describe it since he had never seen a tomb ghost?
Sure enough, it would be more appropriate for Classmate Xiao to make this call.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
…
"Comb sweeping?"
The girl really thought this call was inexplicable.
Just say something she doesn't quite understand.
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
The girl's tone became a little impatient.
She thought maybe it was time to hang up.
"Your mother's grave."
"You also met a friend there."
The middle-aged man spoke a little faster, "Do you remember that friend?"
"..."
No sound came from the phone.
But the slight breathing let the middle-aged man know that the girl was thinking about what he just said.
"……friend?"
The girl didn't believe the suspicion that flashed through her mind for a moment.
It was just a hallucination she had when she was a child, wasn't it?
Immediately, her face stiffened.
However, someone else's specious words suddenly brought back that memory to her.
It's like she never forgot...
She thought she had forgotten it long ago.
…
"Um."
The middle-aged man looked up at the sky above.
The moonlight is very good today.
"You also gave it one, no, two small flower baskets."
"You gave it another one later."
"It's a little flower basket made by yourself."
"Do you remember it?"
There was silence on the phone.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything anymore.
He thought that the girl should need some time to collect her thoughts.
...
"……Who are you?"
"How do you know this?"
The girl tapped her head lightly.
His face became a bit solemn.
Only she should know about this...
So what happened to this person?
"Feel sorry."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I forgot to introduce myself."
"Hello, Chu Kexin, my name is..."
"I do not know you."
Before the middle-aged man could continue, the girl interrupted him.
Strange voice.
Sure enough, it is also a strange name.
She was still wondering if she actually knew the person on the other side of the phone, but she just forgot.
…
"Ok, I know."
The middle-aged man nodded.
If it weren't for the story of the tomb ghost, he wouldn't have known about this girl.
"..."
The girl pursed her lips.
"It's a long story."
The middle-aged man knew that the girl must be confused now, "When I was sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival..."
"My family's cemetery is right next to your mother's cemetery."
The middle-aged man explained.
Then he continued his story, "I accidentally picked up a small flower basket..."
"I don't know if this little flower basket has an owner. I thought this little flower basket was thrown there..."
The middle-aged man told the girl everything he had experienced during this period and what he had seen and heard.
The girl is the friend that the tomb ghost wants to see.
He didn't think there was any need to hide this from girls.
Moreover, to make a girl believe his words, honesty is necessary.
…
"...That's what happened."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.
It obviously only lasted a few days, but when I talked about it, I realized that a lot of things had happened.
"Chu Kexin, why don't you go visit the grave?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask the same question again.
He was really confused.
Even if it wasn't for the tomb ghost, why haven't you visited your mother's tomb for so many years?
…
"..."
On the phone was the sound of a girl breathing rapidly.
What the middle-aged man said just now was a big shock to her.
Tomb Ghost...is it called a Tomb Ghost?
It was never told to her.
However, it always remembered her name.
The corners of the girl's mouth curved upward, and there was a smile in her eyes.
But soon, the girl's expression became stunned again.
