After all, if there are cemeteries everywhere in a place, can people still live there?
"The Tomb Ghost's body shouldn't have recovered so quickly. How could it have run so far away?"
"Then...A Piao is really hiding?"
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, Ah Piao is still here.
But soon, she became sad again.
Is Ah Piao so angry?
I don't even want to see her anymore.
…
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
"This is going to be troublesome."
It is not difficult to understand why the tomb ghost is angry.
After all, the girl let it go for so many years.
…
"I will try my best to make Ah Piao willing to come out to see me."
The girl quickly cheered up.
Seeing the girl's fighting spirit, the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh, "Chu Kexin, come on."
"You can only rely on yourself in this matter."
"Um."
The girl nodded heavily, "I will work hard to make Ah Piao forgive me."
Then, the girl smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Uncle Chen, I didn't see Ah Piao, so I can't tell you anything..."
"fine."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, "There is nothing we can do about it."
"Next time the Tomb Ghost is willing to come out to see you, if you don't mind the trouble -"
The middle-aged man pointed at himself and said, "Let me know and I will be happy to be your driver again."
The girl's eyes curved into crescent shapes, "It's not too troublesome."
"How can you find it troublesome when you get a free ride?"
"Haha~"
The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said, "I'll wait for you at the edge."
"Look at your mother, right?"
"Then we'll look for the tomb ghost somewhere else."
"Um."
The girl nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
"Thank you for what?"
Middle-aged men know that they have "ulterior motives", so they always feel a little undeserved every time they thank a girl.
...
The middle-aged man walked to his family's cemetery.
All have come.
I wonder if Dad would be surprised to see him again so soon?
...
The girl opens the box in her hand.
"Mother......"
The girl's eyes were slightly red, but her voice was somewhat brisk.
"sorry."
"It's been so long since I came to see you."
"Are you angry?"
Same as A Piao.
The girl pursed her lips, then showed a flattering smile, "I brought you an apology gift."
"look."
The girl embarrassedly reached out and scratched her cheek, "Hey, it seems a bit too much."
"After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years."
"Mom, look, are my dried flowers and little flower baskets done well?"
"I always remember what you taught me."
"these years......"
...
"Sorry, Mom, am I too good at talking?"
The girl suddenly realized that she seemed to have talked a lot.
The cemetery is very quiet.
She could hear the wind blowing through the leaves.
She sighed inwardly.
A smile appeared on his face, "Mom, you don't have to worry."
"I am fine."
"I will never forget to see you again."
"next time......"
The girl looked at the box she opened and said, "I don't know how to make a small flower basket anymore."
"Otherwise, my mother's grave will be covered with little flower baskets."
"actually......"
The girl knelt down and reached out to touch the small flower baskets in the box, "Half of these small flower baskets are for Ah Piao."
"Mom, do you know Ah Piao?"
"When I was little, I thought Ah Piao was a friend specially given to me by my mother."
"Because... dad and the others can't see Ah Piao..."
...
"Mother......"
"Apiao is angry."
"It doesn't want to see me anymore, what should I do?"
the girl asked softly.
"...I wonder how long Ah Piao will be angry for?"
"Would it be happy to see these little flower baskets?"
"Will you forgive me?"
...
"Mother."
"you say......"
"Where is Ah Piao?"
"Will it ever come back here?"
Even though she didn't get any response, the girl still spoke seriously, as if there was really a woman in front of her who was listening quietly.
...
The tomb ghost sat on the tombstone, and at some point, his lowered eyes fell on the girl again.
There is no action.
Just look at the girl.
He seemed to be listening to the girl's talk, but also seemed to be in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
"Mother."
The girl stood up slowly.
After squatting for a long time, my feet feel numb.
"I gotta go."
"Well, it's not like leaving..."
"I want to look for Ah Piao again."
"It's hidden."
"I'll find it."
"Mom, when I find Ah Piao, I will bring him over and introduce him to you."
"I wonder if you've seen it?"
"Apiao is a monster."
"Mom, this is incredible."
"Amazing."
"Monsters really do exist in the world."
But she actually met him and saw him.
She won't miss this opportunity.
"I'll find it."
...
"Uncle Chen."
The middle-aged man retracted his gaze from the sky, turned around and saw Chu Kexin without any surprise.
He smiled and did not ask the girl about sweeping the grave. Instead, he asked, "Shall we go around?"
Then look for the monster that doesn't want to see people.
…
"Um."
The girl nodded, "Uncle Chen, please excuse me."
"No trouble."
The middle-aged man waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm interested in the tomb ghost."
"I'm still not happy if you don't let me help."
The girl couldn't help laughing.
…
It wasn't until they heard the sound of hunger in their stomachs that the middle-aged man and the girl realized that they had been searching all morning and noon.
"Let's go back."
The middle-aged man touched his belly. "It seems that I won't be able to survive today."
"……Um."
The girl pursed her lips, with a slightly unwilling look on her face.
…
"Don't worry."
The middle-aged man comforted the girl, "Asking for forgiveness is a time-consuming task."
"Well, please forgive me."
The middle-aged man corrected his statement.
"We'll come back when we're full."
"No need, Uncle Chen."
The girl shook her head, "I can do it myself later."
"Uncle Chen has already helped me a lot, I can't cause any more trouble to Uncle Chen."
"Uncle Chen still has to go to work."
"When Ah Piao is willing to see me..."
The girl smiled slightly and said, "I will call Uncle Chen."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but the girl's insistent look made him accept the other party's kindness.
The girl is right.
He didn't have that much time to accompany the girl to slowly seek forgiveness from the tomb ghost.
Although he is very curious about the tomb ghost, practical issues are what he should consider first.
He is no longer a child or a student.
"All right."
The middle-aged man smiled somewhat regretfully, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
"Um."
The girl smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, there will be good news soon."
