Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 246
When they came back from the second uncle's house after lunch, everyone had a full belly.

Leisure time in the afternoon is pleasant.

Xia Feng moved the rocking chair from the yard to the door, because the sun was too hot, he even wore a pair of sunglasses.

Dr. Kane took Ansel to count the medicines that need to be purchased, as well as the medical equipment currently available on the market. Nancy would consider how much budget she needed based on the prices found online.

"A home run, Ola-Ola!"

"Snapped!"

The baseball hit Xia Feng's sunglasses precisely, with such force that it almost broke the bridge of his nose.

Xia Feng on the rocking chair sat up angrily.

"Damn, who sneaked up on me!"

Guigui stood in the middle of the road, holding a baseball bat in his hand, with a happy smile on his face.

"Big windmill, come and play baseball together."

Seeing that the murderer was Guigui, Xia Feng immediately lost his temper. He threw the baseball over and lay down again.

"I don't know how to play baseball, you can play with Ergou."

"I'll teach you."

Xia Feng turned over on the rocking chair.

"Not learn."

"why?"

"I can't answer this for you, because I'm just an ordinary salted fish."

Although the afternoon sun was very strong, the warm feeling was still very comfortable, and the summer breeze on the rocking chair immediately felt drowsy.

"Snapped!"

A lump of viscous material fell from the sky onto Xia Feng's face.

"Fuck, what!"

Xia Feng woke up immediately, and raised his hand to wipe it, in vain.

At the same time, a small black figure flapped its wings and passed overhead, and Ifrit's voice followed.

"Xiao Mo, come back quickly, don't fly too far."

Xia Feng looked at the empty birdcage hanging at the door, and immediately knew what Ifrit had done.

"Ifrit, why did you let it out!"

Ifrit looked at Xia Feng like an idiot.

"How can you fly if you don't release it?"

"Why fly?"

"Xiao Mo is a bird, don't you know that birds need to fly?"

"."

Xia Feng glanced at Xiao Mo who disappeared into the sky, and sighed.

"Ifrit, you may have to say goodbye to your little Mo."

"Huh? Why?"

"Compared to your birdcage, the world is bigger, and it wants to see it."

For the rest of the afternoon, Ifrit sat on the steps like a widowed old man looking forward to the return of his children.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Ifrit stood up and said something seemingly free and easy.

"Forget it, I will come back when Xiao Mo is hungry."

Although she said it as if she didn't care, Xia Feng saw the tears flickering in the corners of Ifrit's eyes. It was not easy for this child.

Just about to go back to the house, Xia Feng suddenly felt a hard object being placed on his head, at the same time, the sound of Guigui laughing came.

"Haha, the big windmill has turned green."

Xia Feng immediately realized that it was Guigui's broken pet, the autistic green fur turtle.

"Take it away, take it away for me!"

Turtle carefully removed the green-haired turtle, and then put it on his head. The strange thing is that the green-haired turtle only sticks out its head when it touches the turtle, and is in an absolute defensive state the rest of the time.

A leisurely afternoon passed, Xia Feng couldn't help sighing inwardly as he watched the sunset.

Maybe this is what he expected to be plain and plain.

In fact, the so-called plainness does not necessarily mean putting aside all the troubles and ignoring those dangers and incidents. Being in the dark vortex, he knows that he cannot completely escape, and every step may be the last step.

But it is precisely because of the danger and tension that we can better understand the true meaning of plainness, and the leisure time that exists between life and death can better understand its preciousness.

After it was completely dark, Ergou was also ready to go home.

Because the barbecue shop is closed tonight, the voices of the people dispersed, and the street in front of the door instantly became dead silent, and there has always been no street light at the end of this street. Usually, Ifrit’s oven supports the headlights. Look, the whole street is gloomy.

Before Ergou was about to enter the house, Xia Feng suddenly grabbed him.

"Second Dog, wait a minute."

"What's the matter, Lao Xia?"

Xia Feng cleared his throat lightly and asked seriously.

"That... you said before that this street will be haunted at night, you were actually joking."

"I'm not kidding."

"Don't make trouble, I'm telling you the truth."

"I didn't make trouble with you. It was really haunted. I didn't lie to you."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Ergou stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"Saw it once."

"just one time?"

Xia Feng had a look of disbelief. To be honest, he could barely imagine the scene of Captain Roger fighting a sea monster, but the haunted scene was a bit ridiculous.

"Why did you only see it once? Hasn't this ghost been haunting for several years? Besides, how can you be sure that the one you saw was a ghost? Maybe you misread it."

Er Gou pursed his lips, as if he was lost in memory.

"Lao Xia, I didn't lie to you. The haunting on Baigui Street doesn't happen every night, and there is one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Ghosts only appear after midnight."

"Oh?"

Ergou continued with a solemn expression.

"One day a year ago, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and saw that horrible scene from the window by accident. When I woke up in the morning, I thought I was dreaming. Later, many neighbors said they saw it, and Lily did the same. Said, I just realized that it was not my dream, this street is really haunted, after that, my mother will cover all the windows every night and let me go to bed early every day."

Xia Feng sneered.

"Ergou, you may have been fooled. This is a trick set up by your mother in collusion with the neighbors to make you go to bed early and get up early."

However, Ergou's expression was still serious.

"That's right, that's what I thought at the beginning, until one day later, I secretly got up from the bed in the middle of the night, went to the window and opened the curtains by accident, when I saw the scene on the dark street, The whole person was terrified, I was 12% sure that I was awake at the time, and then I went back to bed shaking all over, and looked at the alarm clock, it was [-] midnight."

The street was empty, and a breeze blew by. For some reason, Xia Feng felt that it was a gloomy wind.

Ergou's description was more detailed this time. To be honest, it made Xia Feng feel bad, especially the goosebumps. Why did he stand up so unwillingly?
"Er Gou, you. Is what you said true?"

Ergou's deep voice continued.

"At the time, I also thought that I was wrong. Lying on the bed, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time."

Xia Feng swallowed nervously.

"and then?"

"Then, I turned over on the bed, and at this moment, I suddenly saw the window out of the corner of my eye. I remembered that I had drawn the curtains just now, but for some reason, the curtains opened a gap again, because there was no window. Turning on the light, my room was very dark and when I squinted and looked carefully at the corner of the window, I saw something that horrified me."

"you"

"Guess what I saw?"

"What do you see?"

Ergou lowered his head, and a long voice came out of his mouth.

"I saw it. Ah!!!"

Er Gou raised his head suddenly, and his sharp roar startled Xia Feng, who was extremely nervous.

"Oh my god!"

Xia Feng clutched his heart, feeling that his soul had gone out of his body.

"You brat, what are you screaming all of a sudden!"

"Hey hey, anyway, I didn't lie to you, it's really haunted, I'm going home first, bye."

Ergou left with a smirk on his face.

Xia Feng stood at the door of the barbecue restaurant, glanced at the dark and empty street with lingering fear, then turned and entered the house.

The gate on the side of the street was locked by Brother ACE, and everyone returned to the small villa behind the yard. Dr. Kane went back to live in his small clinic because he had something to move here tomorrow.

Nan Ran cooked noodles for everyone. After eating, everyone sat on the sofa and started their nightlife before going to bed.

Ansel went back to his room upstairs to rest early. Nancy put on a mask and gnawed cucumbers while watching and fiddling with cosmetics. Turtle and Ifrit watched cartoons around the TV.

Xia Feng sat on the sofa, his face was very heavy.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly said.

"Second General Dragon Turtle, listen to the order!"

Turtle turned his head.

"What's wrong with the big windmill?"

Xia Feng asked loudly with righteous words.

"Tuigui, are you afraid of ghosts?"

Turtle looked puzzled.

"Ghost? Dafengche, do you mean the ghost clan? Isn't Brother Aguang that? I'm not afraid."

"It's not a ghost family, it's a real ghost."

Xia Feng looked at Ifrit again.

"What about you, are you afraid of ghosts?"

Ifrit raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? There is nothing in this world that I, Mrs. Ifrit, are afraid of. What kind of ghosts are not ghosts? I will burn them all with one fire."

Xia Feng glanced at the time on the clock, it was 11:30, and then he slapped his thigh.

"Okay, let me catch ghosts later, I really don't believe it. In this world where Originium technology is so advanced, I really want to see what ghosts look like."
