we are just monsters

Chapter 143 The Scared Old Ghost
Gu Cheng didn't speak in the dark.

Master, I am cold.

Thinking of these four words, he felt an indescribable touch.

How can a person feel cold when he is dead?

When she was alive, she also experienced countless winters.

A cool foot was squeezed into the warm quilt, not as icy and smooth as expected.

"you're old."

"You're not young either." Without any pause, Xia Xiaoman said immediately.

The room fell silent again.

Xia Xiaoman squeezed over from the edge and said, "Don't talk."

Gu Cheng didn't speak.

"Because you are sullen, opening your mouth is definitely a refusal, don't make a sound, that's it, don't talk." She whispered.

It was snowing heavily outside.

Gu Cheng didn't make a sound.

"Old Gu, you are lonelier than me."

It wasn't that Gu Cheng pitied her, it was she who pitied Gu Cheng, this old guy who changed his identity every ten years and tried hard to maintain his humanity.

Gu Cheng still didn't speak.

In this cold night, he seemed to be asleep.

Xia Xiaoman closed his eyes and listened to the wind outside the window in the middle of the night with him.

At this time, more than 60 years have passed since she was brought home by Gu Cheng.

For decades, they have lived their own lives in their own ways.Finally meet again, in another capacity.

At the beginning, she would never have imagined that that warm palm became a secret throughout her life, connecting normal life with a group of monsters, pulling her out of the trajectory of ordinary people.

In the winter of 2008, Zhou Muqing also suffered from insomnia on a snowy night. At that time, Zhou Xiaotian and her were separated by two rooms. The teenage girl was no longer the one who pestered Master to sleep with her.

She was lying on the bed, stroking her hair at the temples, as if she had traveled through time when she closed her eyes, and said to Wang Aimin decades ago, "Master, I'm getting old too."

Everything in the past has turned into a sigh.

Waking up in the morning, the outside was completely white. Gu Cheng rode a battery car to go out. The snow plows on the road were working hard, and there were still fine snow particles in the air.

"Good morning, Teacher Gu." Chen Mengmeng said at the school gate.

"Good morning, Teacher Gu." Xia Xiaoman imitated her and said.

"Good morning."

Gu Cheng nodded politely, pushed the car into the carport and parked it, stomped the snow on his feet, and went to the office.

Winter vacation is approaching.

The heavy snow made Heishan's work not so smooth, and he was more happy to stay at home and study, and watch some TV with Lilith and Chen Hua at night.

He also gradually became acquainted with the neighbors. The old man Li on the street corner sometimes had a few words with him. Heishan was happy to chat with the elderly, and his face full of vicissitudes of life was full of wisdom.

In addition, it is to study firecrackers.

Seeing Gu Cheng coming back on a battery car from a distance, Heishan buried a landmine in the snow, calculated the time for the incense to burn, made a simple timing device, and ran back to Chen Hua's house, pretending to discuss the plot with Chen Hua, while Prick up your ears and listen.

Lilith gleefully lay down on the roof to watch Gu Cheng being covered in snow foam, and then being grabbed by Gu Cheng, she couldn't laugh anymore.

"I didn't let it go!" Lilith was very annoyed.

"Who is that?"

"do not know!"

"If you don't know, just treat it as you. You are the only one around here." Gu Cheng smiled kindly.

"Why!"

"You can't beat me."

"... Montenegro, it's Montenegro."

Lilith betrayed Heishan very simply, and then took Gu Cheng to find Heishan.

With an innocent face, Hei Shan pulled Chen Hua to testify that he was watching The Legend of the New White Snake with Chen Hua and never went out.On the TV, Bai Suzhen of Zhao Yazhi was playing, and she sang a part when she disagreed with each other. At this time, Xu Xian accompanied her, and the county magistrate was singing. Chen Hua helped Hei Shan to prove that they really stayed together to watch TV and did not go out.

"Old Gu, you can't wrong someone."

"He spent several days studying the burning speed of incense, and then set the time when you come back." Lilith's words surprised both Chen Hua and Gu Cheng.

Chen Hua pondered for a while, then hesitated: "I can't... Is this something a fool can do?"

Gu Cheng also hesitated.

"You dogs look down on people!" Lilith complained for Montenegro.

Facts have proved that it doesn't take much to play firecrackers. Gu Cheng confiscated a pack of fireworks from Montenegro, as well as a joss stick.

Xia Xiaoman was amazed at the incense candles that Gu Cheng received from Montenegro, the quality was very high.

"Tsk tsk, I'm so willing, it's even better than what you use for incense."

"For accuracy, the thickness is uniform and the combustion is stable."

Gu Cheng took out a few sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, the aroma was also very good, it would be a waste to ask Heishan to break them apart to light firecrackers.

The black mountain next door was still complaining about Lilith, and Lilith was very sorry, and said apologetically, "I'm not as resistant to beating as you are, and it's true that I didn't order it."

"I have mastered the power of knowledge."

Hei Shan soon stopped caring, and was full of energy. Through the precise calculation of the incense candles, Gu Cheng's driving speed, and a little bit of luck, he succeeded in blowing up his body with snow foam when he passed by, giving Hei Shan unparalleled confidence. A very representative exercise.

If it wasn't for Lilith, it would be very difficult for the old ghost to find out his flaws. At most, he would run over and beat him up without evidence.

"Has the old ghost been scared to death?" Black Mountain asked Lilith expectantly.

"He was so frightened, he was just about to go back on his bike, when the snowdrift suddenly thumped! It exploded, and he trembled, almost peeing out of fear." Lilith vividly described the old ghost, the heinous guy. The scene of being punished by the bravery and fearlessness of Montenegro with firecrackers.

"This is mathematics." Montenegro said.

"So you study every day just to blow him up?" Chen Hua was puzzled by this, "You might as well make a pile of cow dung and blow him up."

"I advise you not to do that." Lilith looked serious, "You will be thrown into the cesspit by the old ghost."

"Watch TV Watch TV."

Chen Hua waved his hand, and Lilith jumped onto the backrest in the middle of the sofa and lay down. This was her exclusive position, and a small hole was pressed down.

The vampire and Montenegro sat on both sides, and the three guys began to watch the white lady babbling and singing.

"Do you think this idiot Fa Hai is as annoying as an old ghost?" Lilith felt more and more wrong the more she looked at it.

What's wrong with this old monk?
"It should be fried."

Hei Shan nodded, expressing his anger. Fa Hai insisted on dismantling the two well-behaved people, and when the missile was developed, he would be bombed.

The end of the old ghost is near.

Heishan was about to turn his head to talk to Lilith when he saw Lilith sniffling and jumping off the sofa to leave.

"Why are you going?"

"I..." Lilith hesitated, "I'll find a way to trick the old ghost into eating, so that I can impose economic sanctions on him and turn him into a poor ghost."

"It's just eating and drinking." Chen Hua said.

"He doesn't understand our great plan. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lilith said something to Montenegro and jumped out.

Montenegro may not like the fried beef with scallion cooked by Gu Cheng today.
