Chapter 7 Children in the River (2)

Few people come to the river at night after the rain. At this time, there are large groups of fireflies flying in the narrow river channel, interspersed among the long and dense aquatic plants, just like the Milky Way on the water.Bai doesn't like the rainy season very much. In this kind of weather, the food he has worked so hard to find will soon become moldy. For a cat who pays attention to hygiene, this is very disgusting.So it's going to get a new litter, which means I'll have a new home too.

In the past few days, it would come back very late when it went out, until one day, it finally got its wish and tricked a girl.I have seen this girl before, she is Lan. Lan is still holding a large bamboo basket in his hand, which must be the result of Bai's victory.It coquettishly satisfies in Lan's arms, meaning to ask Lan to change its grass nest, which is why it deliberately soiled itself before.

I decided to make a joke.

"Hey!" I patted Lan on the shoulder.

She nearly fell over in fright, then turned and glared at me.

"Little devil, who are you?"

"I'm your senior. I'm in Class Two. There are so many people. You won't remember." After I finished speaking, I sat down on the embankment.

"I also think you look familiar, but you don't look like my senior." Lan's eyes were full of doubts.

I thought to myself: If I was still alive, why would I have to be one year older than her to call me a kid.

"Don't come here to play, I heard people said that children were drowned here before."

"I'm not a child." I looked at her unhappy.

But with her seven-year-old appearance, it's no wonder she thought so.

"Okay! Xue, this will be your nest from now on." Lan stroked Bai's head, and Bai pricked up his tail comfortably.

"Evil..." I deliberately pretended to be disgusted, "It's not called Xue, it's called Bai."

"how do you know?"

"I'll tell you if you buy me water." I got up and walked to Lan.

Lan thought for a while, but he didn't seem to refuse, so I followed.

"What's your name?"

"Wit."

"My name is Lan."

The aunt at the canteen yawned. There is usually no business at this time. She focused on watching the TV series and handed over two bottles of soda without looking back.Lan and I sat in the dim light of the awning.This was the first time someone invited me to drink soda after my death. After chatting for a while, it started to rain lightly.

"It's raining on the road, it won't last long." The aunt turned her head slightly, as if nothing could affect her watching soap operas.

"Follow me." After I finished speaking, I glanced at Lan and motioned for her to follow me.

"Wit! Wait!" Lan paid the money in a panic, and followed.

I took her all the way to a lush aquatic plant.

"It's raining, what are you doing here?" Lan was a little unhappy.

"Hush!" I turned around and made a gesture to Lanbi, then picked up a stone and threw it hard.Those fireflies that were just about to move suddenly jumped up from the grass and danced wildly on the river.Then, the fireflies in the grass not far away also flew out, one after another, reflecting the reflection of the river.The fireflies all over the river were lit up, I stood behind Lan who was stunned, and quietly drew a circle with my finger, and those fireflies spun around us, just like the Milky Way...

"Galaxy..." By the time Lan regained consciousness, I had already left, so let me pay for her soda.It's not too far from the road, and there are a few couples walking after the rain on the road, and they all stay on the bridge to watch this fantastic scene.

"Wit, Wit..."

From that day on, I often followed Lan. Of course, I would hide in some places where she would not pay attention. Maybe I had some affection for her, but my appearance was only a seven-year-old child after all.Jing often laughs at me for being stupid, but Bai doesn't like to talk to me, after all, we are too familiar.Sometimes I would show up occasionally to chat and fight with Lan, but that was only when she was alone.

"Anyway, before the end of the summer vacation, I must confess my love. Wit, please help me deliver this letter to Duang." Lan handed me a letter with a heart shape.

"I'm not sending you love letters."

"I'll buy you a soda."

"It's so disgusting, let me take a look first."

"Don't read." Lan grabbed the letter in my hand with an embarrassed look on his face.

Of course I know who Lan is referring to as Duang. He used to be my classmate, but he is much handsomer now than before. He used to be a follower who didn't wipe his nose.I slipped the letter casually through his door.No, I want to scare him, who told him to be liked by the girl I like.

Not long after, I heard Duang's exclamation as expected.I smiled smugly, it was just a dream, as for what I did to him in the dream...

"Let me go." I suddenly heard Lan's cry for help.

I hurried to the intersection where Lan was waiting for me, and saw a few drunks and Lan were pulling there.I originally wanted to rush up, but was dragged back vigorously by a force, it was a well.

"You have to think about it. You are only seven years old now. If you can get rid of these people, she will know your identity in the future. It's not that I won't help you. You should know that if I show up , she might be even more afraid, and if she waits, someone might pass by." Jing said seriously.

I remembered the scene of the well throwing rotten bananas, that probably wasn't the first time he got scared.At this time, a drunk man held Lan and tore Lan's clothes.

"I...No!" I broke free from the shackles of opening the well, and rushed out, and Jing followed.

"Brat, get out!" The drunk man pointed at me and cursed, his right hand covered Lan's mouth, and Lan signaled me to go away with his eyes.

"Lan..." Closing my eyes, I revealed my ugliest appearance, an appearance I don't even want to see, but this is the only way for ordinary people to see me, and it is also the most taboo law in the spirit world.Because the time limit for each reincarnation will be delayed by 20 years.

This is what I looked like on the seventh day after my death. My eyes were pale, my skin was bruised, my hair was soaked, and my five sense organs were dripping water.Both the drunk and Lan were petrified. The drunk yelled "ghost" and turned around and ran away.Then Jing chased after me, and I knew he would not make it easy for these people.But Lan was different, she couldn't conceal the panic in her wide eyes, and stood there trembling all over.

"Don't come here!" she yelled at me, crying.

"I'm Wit, Lan..." I watched her leave, and said slowly and softly.

Maybe no one in this world will remember me anymore...
