If he didn't want it, both he and the child would starve to death and the child would always be sitting on the small stool by himself waiting for A Qing to return. But this afternoon, he had been waiting for A Qing to come back, and the child was extremely hungry, so he didn't know who was cooking at home, but the fragrance that drifted along with the chimney kept on drifting into the pine forest, and through the iron window, it drifted into the child's nose. His stomach growled, and he was really too hungry, so he pushed open the door and walked out.

When Elder Zhang returned from selling pearls in the city, he saw a kid dressed in an adult's shirt, with his hands and legs hidden, walking out of the Red Brick House. His black hair was cut like a dog's, his face was black and yellow, and with a roll of his eyes, he almost scared the Elder Zhang to the point of throwing out the black bag that was holding money.

"Oh my god!"

Elder Zhang's shout scared the kid so much that he ran back to the Red Brick House. Bang! The door was flung to the ground and it started to shake.

"Pah pah!" Elder Zhang spat out the dust in his mouth and said with a face full of surprise: "Where did this kid come from?"

Elder Zhang did not dare push the door open, so he went to the window and peeked inside. After looking for a long time, he still did not see anything.

Elder Zhang's face suddenly paled. "Could it be that I've really seen a ghost in broad daylight?"

When he thought about the little kid that died in this house, the hairs on Elder Zhang's body all stood up. He quickly retreated out of the house, staggered home, and arrived at his house in a flash. Old Lady Zhang knew that he came back every day at this hour, and brought two big blue bowl with him to fill up two bowls of rice.

"You're back? Hurry up and eat. "

Old Lady Zhang scooped the meat into the bowl of Elder Zhang and mixed it with meat oil before starting to eat it. It was a little salty but there was still the flavor of the meat.

However, when he turned his head, he saw that the people standing at the entrance of Elder Zhang looked like they had gone stupid. He casually said, "What are you daydreaming for, hurry up and eat, normally you'll be like a hungry ghost when you come back, why do you look like you've seen a ghost today?"

When the Old Lady Zhang said this, the people of the Elder Zhang trembled, and walked over and said: "Hey, don't say anymore, I saw a ghost!"

Elder Zhang put down his bag, picked up his bowl and ate a few mouthfuls in succession to calm himself down.

There are many ghost stories in the countryside, and Elder Zhang is timid. Old Lady Zhang would love to hear these, so she quickly urged: "What did you hear today? "Tell me quickly."

"What rumors, I saw them with my own eyes!"

Elder Zhang glared, telling his what he saw when he passed by the Red Brick House, saying that the child must be the one that died at the Red Brick House back then.

Hearing that, Old Lady Zhang thought for a while and said, "Impossible, even if that child becomes a ghost, he should be around ten years old this year, right? How old is that? "

"He's probably around three or four years old, so skinny that he looks like a monkey." The Elder Zhang said.

Old Lady Zhang shook her head, her face filled with certainty: "That definitely isn't it."

She picked up the bowl and ate two mouthfuls, then stood up and said, "No, I'll go take a look."

"What are you looking at!?" "What do you want to see? Don't meddle in other people's business. The person who lives in the house is definitely not a person."

"Who wouldn't be afraid of the light, and furthermore, isn't A Qing one as well? Aren't you all fine after living for so many years? "What if he really is a child? Let's see if my heart is at ease then."

With that, he rushed out. The Elder Zhang had no choice but to follow.

"Say, why are you so nosy?" What does that have to do with us? Wouldn't it be fine if you just pretend that you don't know? "

When she was young, she was already bold, and everyone said that she was without legs and had the same guts as her feet. Everyone said that it was not some pleasant words, that at that time, the young lady's family was only able to marry someone who was beautiful, and that was why she was able to marry him. It was because of this, that Old Lady Zhang had taken a liking to her, and felt that once this girl married into the Elder Zhang, no one would dare to bully her, so it seemed that these two people were truly fitting.

Just like that, the two of them went to the Red Brick House. Ever since the baby was scared away by Elder Zhang, she did not dare to come out again, she just stayed there, with her stomach growling non-stop. When the Old Lady Zhang arrived at the door, she heard it loud and clear.

Old Lady Zhang stood at the door and looked through the crack of the door, but did not see anything, so she said to Elder Zhang: "Push the door open and take a look."

Elder Zhang was unwilling to shake his head like a rattle drum. He glared at him, "If you don't go, I'll go."

As she said that, she pushed open the door with her palm without taking a step, and looked inside. She thought that A Qing's brain was not good, and that the house was definitely hidden and messy, but she did not expect that the arrangement of the tables and chairs was considered to be not bad. It was just that she did not open the door to the sun for the entire winter and did not go out for the wind, making her smell really bad.

"What are you doing!"

The Elder Zhang wanted to stop him, but when he turned back to look at him, he heard a gurgling sound again. The old lady followed the sound into the bedroom and indeed saw the child, who was locked on the bed, staring at them with his big eyes. When the Old Lady Zhang saw that look, his heart softened as he recalled his grandson whom he had not seen for many years.
