The midday sun was a bit dazzling. The woman and the boy stood in front of the haunted house. Even after being explicitly rejected by Chen Ge, they still did not leave.
"He has always wanted to visit the haunted house. This is the agreement he and I made. Can you help me?" The woman took out a hundred dollar bill from her backpack and said, "Nothing will happen."
Chen Ge did not go to take the woman's money, but asked with some confusion: "Why do you have to enter the haunted house? This child looks only thirty-nine years old. The environment in the haunted house is complex and special, which can easily cause psychological stimulation to children.
"
The woman had a wry smile on her face. She did not answer Chen Ge's question. She turned around and rubbed the boy's fluffy hair: "Fan Yu, how about we play other sports..."
Before she finished speaking, the boy slapped her hand aside. This child didn't like being touched by others, even if it was completely kind.
No matter what the woman said, the boy stood at the door of the haunted house and refused to leave. He raised his head from time to time, with a look of inferiority, cowardice, and a hint of indifference in his eyes.
"Fan Yu?" Chen Ge's focus has been on this child. This is the first time he has seen such a weird boy.
Squatting down, Chen Ge looked at the little boy and said, "Can you tell uncle why you want to go to the haunted house? It's very dark inside and there are scary things."
The boy's eyes were evasive. He looked at Chen Ge's shadow from time to time without saying a word.
The woman might be afraid that Chen Ge would be embarrassed, so she quickly stood in the middle to smooth things over: "Xiaoyu is different from other children. He rarely communicates with others. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay." Chen Ge found that the two people were standing at the door of the haunted house and refused to leave, even if they were exposed to the sun. His attitude softened: "Well, I won't charge you for the ticket. I will accompany you later.
Let’s go in together, but we can only look around the outside of the venue.”
"Thank you boss!"
"First sign a liability exemption agreement. Both adults and children must write it. After entering, don't touch the props at will, don't run, and follow me." Opening the opaque door curtain, Chen Ge placed the two agreement sheets on the woman and child.
Before, normally all it took was the guardian's signature, but in order to get as much information about the boy as possible, Chen Ge asked the child to also sign.
The two signed a liability exemption agreement, and Chen Ge led them into the ghost marriage scene.
"They were not husband and wife when they were alive, but the deceased were buried in the same cave. This is a ghost marriage."
Chen Ge briefly narrated the background story. The three of them stood at the door of a courtyard lit with white lanterns. The woman was a little nervous and clutched the strap of her backpack. The boy lowered his head. He didn't know whether it was because of fear or other reasons.
The dead tree was swaying, paper money was all over the ground, and it made a rustling sound when you stepped on it. Chen Ge took the lead and pushed open the door of the courtyard: "This is the scene inside. You can just stand outside and take a look. We have strict rules. Anyone under the age of fourteen is
Children are not allowed to visit.”
Just as he finished speaking, the little boy who had been quiet behind him suddenly rushed into the courtyard, and neither of the adults reacted.
"Fan Yu!" The woman and Chen Ge ran into the courtyard together and found the little boy parked next to the dry well in the middle of the courtyard. His upper body was thrust into the well, as if he was looking for something.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The woman hurriedly apologized to Chen Ge. She went to grab the boy's arm, but the boy who had always been quiet and shy suddenly seemed to be a different person. He not only broke away from the woman's hand with force, but also dug his nails
Her skin was broken, and she looked like a frightened wild cat.
"This child's mood swings are too big." The dry well in the middle of the courtyard is just a prop and not very deep. Chen Ge is not worried that something will happen. He is just curious about why the boy cares so much about the well.
After staying at the well for two or three minutes, maybe he didn't see what he was looking for in the well. The boy reluctantly let go of his hand. He was different from ordinary children. To be precise, he was different from normal people. The more gloomy he looked.
, in the weird environment, the child becomes more excited.
"Now that you're in, let me show you around." Chen Ge focused all his attention on the child. He was relatively short among his peers. He had a very delicate appearance and big eyes.
, seems to be a pure black gemstone.
"The ghost marriage scene is modeled after an ancient courtyard house. The east and west wing rooms are usually for children, nephews and descendants to live in." He pushed open the door of the east wing room without any warning, and a female ghost wearing a wedding dress emerged from behind the door.
The thin dark woman was so frightened that she screamed and backed away.
"Don't be nervous, he's an actor." Chen Ge pressed Li Gui's head with one hand and whispered: "Xu Wan, you go out first."
"Your reaction is too cold..."
Xu Wan held the skirt of her wedding dress and stepped out of the door of the wing. No one noticed that the boy standing behind Chen Ge suddenly came in front of Xu Wan and stared at Xu Wan with his head raised.
"Huh? Boss, why did you let such a young child in?"
Xu Wan was just surprised. Among the few people present, only Chen Ge noticed something was wrong.
The wedding dress was as bright as blood, and Xu Wan applied special effects makeup. She looked more like a dead person at this time.
In this case, the boy not only did not feel scared, but also took the initiative to approach Xu Wan and looked up at her face.
"This kid seems to like me very much?" Xu Wan smiled at Chen Ge and didn't feel anything wrong.
It wasn't until Xu Wan left the ghost marriage scene that the boy looked back.
"I won't show you the other rooms one by one. They are probably all about the same layout. Can we go out now?" Chen Ge and the thin black woman walked out, but the little boy stopped in the yard, looking around as if he was looking for something.
.
"Fan Yu, let's go!" The boy turned a deaf ear to the woman's cry. He stood next to the dry well and didn't know what he was looking at.
"Isn't this child scared at all?" Chen Ge did not urge him, but started chatting with the woman: "Are you the child's mother?"
"I'm his aunt." The woman said apologetically, "I'm sorry to trouble you. Xiaoyu is different from his peers. He has become like this since his parents had an accident a few years ago. I've seen
Many doctors are useless."
"Mental illness? Can I ask about the child's parents?" Chen Ge carefully formulated his words.
"Xiaoyu's parents are both teachers at Muyang Middle School. They disappeared one after another and have not been found until now. Xiaoyu was only five years old at that time. I didn't know how to explain it to my child, so I could only lie to him and tell him that his parents
Went to a far away place called heaven.”
"Muyang Middle School!" Chen Ge's nerves instantly tensed up because of these four words.
"Have you heard about it? There are a lot of rumors about that school. I have tried to persuade Xiaoyu's parents a long time ago, but they just didn't listen." When she mentioned the sad incident, the thin black woman's eyes were a little red and swollen, and she stopped talking to Chen.
Ge chatted and walked to Xiaoyu: "Let's go home."
The boy was still standing stubbornly by the well, which made Chen Ge, who already felt abnormal, even more confused. He walked quietly to the boy and tried to ask: "Why do you keep looking into the well? Is there any monster living in the well?
"
Fan Yu shook his head. In the dark environment where the sun could not shine, he seemed to have let down his guard.
"Then can you tell uncle why you have been standing by the well?"
The boy glanced behind Chen Ge and thought for a while before saying, "I'm looking for something."
"What are you looking for?" Chen Ge was a little curious.
The little boy looked at the dark dry well for a long time, and finally said two words: "Heaven." bdshare();
