After being homeless, he was picked up by God and brought home to be his husband.

The ghost market is closed, but once it opens, it is packed with people. There are many shops in the long street, but the inside is dark and gloomy. There are only a few black figures of different heights standing in front of the door, and red lanterns are hung along the street. , fluttering and flickering, illuminating the faces of passers-by with scarlet red, eerie and strange.

Chu Yitang held back his anger and walked down the long street with his child in one hand. It was rare to bring children to the ghost market. For a while, many passers-by were looking at the father and son, which made Chu Yitang feel uncomfortable all over.

A son was given to him for no reason, but he couldn't throw it away. There were all kinds of people in the ghost market, and if he was kidnapped, there was no telling where he was taken.

"Child, do you have no parents or are you lost with them? I really can't take you with you. Can I send you back?"

The child sat in his arms, with a small fleshy face. He shook his head and said:

"I told you that I have no parents, so I will follow you. You can't send me back."

Chu Yitang's temples beat harder. He looked around, found an open space, put the child down, propped up his knees, and tried to reason again:

"Kid, I have something very important to do here. I really can't take you with me. If that doesn't work, can I find someone to pick you up?"

The child was unmoved. He looked at Chu Yitang with wide eyes. He put his hands behind his back and said seriously: "I have something to do when I come here."

Chu Yitang was suspicious of him and asked: "What are you doing here as a child?"

"This is my secret, I can't tell you."

"..."

To be honest, this road was completely blocked. Chu Yitang covered his forehead and stood there helplessly for a moment. Standing here, one big and one small, was too conspicuous. Chu Yitang had no choice but to pick him up and leave.

"how old are you?"

The child hesitated for a moment, then took out his small round hand and stretched out four short fingers to show Chu Yitang.

"Four years old? So young?"

Chu Yitang's frown deepened. He didn't know who could take care of a child so carelessly that he would let it out to run around at the age of four. Now, just throw it away.

He carried the child up a little, then found an inn at the corner of the street and asked for a room. Chu Yitang carried the child upstairs and asked casually: "What's your name?"

The child sniffed and said, "My name is Shu Shu."

Shu Shu was not big and overweight. Chu Yitang hugged him all the way. After entering the room, he put him on the table and sat down. Seeing that the child was not dressed like ordinary children, he faced the little one who looked exactly like him. Chu Yitang couldn't express his temper, so he resignedly touched his belly and asked:

"are you hungry?"

Shu Shu nodded.

Chu Yitang resignedly went to the kitchen to make food.

When he went upstairs with two bowls of beef noodles, Shu Shu was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him. Chu Yitang pushed the soft bowl of noodles to the table, divided the chopsticks, and invited him to come over and eat.

Shu Shu jumped out of bed. It was a bit difficult to climb the stool. It took a long time to climb up the stool. She was panting tiredly. When she saw the bowl of beef noodles, her pretty little brows furrowed and she didn't say anything. She just held her chopsticks and was minding her own business. Picking up the green onions in the bowl.

Chu Yitang had no appetite, and he could only eat one mouthful. He looked at Shu Shu picking vegetables and said in surprise: "You don't eat chopped green onions?"

Shu Shu didn't say anything. After picking the chopped green onions, she started to pick the coriander.

"You don't want to eat coriander either?"

Shu Shu stuffed a mouthful of noodles into her mouth and replied "hmm" very reservedly.

Chu Yitang threatened calmly:

"Children who are picky eaters will not grow taller."

Shu Shu remained unmoved and ate two mouthfuls of noodles without raising her head:

"Leave me alone?"

Chu Yitang was choked by him, and he picked up the noodles with his chopsticks. He was so angry that he wanted to laugh. Shu Shu was very good at eating. He didn't forget to wipe his mouth after eating, and she still had time to urge him:

"Eat quickly, it's time to go to bed after eating."

Chu Yitang was a little unhappy being given orders again.

Are you the dad or am I the dad?

There was hot water brought by the waiter in the room. Shu Shu couldn't reach the handkerchief, so she had to hold the basin and look at Chu Yitang. She pursed her pink lips, obviously asking for help.

Chu Yitang chuckled, poured a glass of water by himself, spoke in a soothing tone, and said calmly:

"Don't you want me to take care of it?"

Shu Shu was frustrated and didn't say anything back. Chu Yitang felt a rare sense of joy when he saw how frustrated he was.

He put two handkerchiefs in the basin, put the handkerchiefs on his little cheeks, and rubbed them casually. He made a soothing sound, the tip of his nose was red, and his eyes were watery, making him look like a clay New Year picture. The doll was stunned.

Chu Yitang was in a good mood, patted the top of Shu Shu's hair, and went to wash himself.

Shu Shu climbed into bed, took off her boots, folded her robe neatly and placed it on the bedside. Chu Yitang hung the coat on the shelf and closed the window. When he turned around, he saw that Shu Shu had not gone to bed, only sitting in the bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed is very upright.

"Sleep, aren't you sleepy?"

Shu Shu didn't move, wringing her fingers, and struggled for a while before awkwardly saying: "Do you want to sleep inside or outside?"

"You little doggie sleeping outside in the middle of the night, you can't roll over. You can sleep inside."

With a Shushu "Oh", he climbed into the inside of the bed. Chu Yitang blew out the candlelight and got into bed. In fact, he didn't feel sleepy at all. It was still too early for him at this time.

The hand on the quilt was poked inaudibly. Chu Yitang opened his eyes and looked sideways: "What are you doing?"

A weak voice came from the darkness:

"What's your name?"

"Leave me alone?"

"..." Shu Shu failed again and had no choice but to ask again, "You already know mine, and I want to know yours too."

Chu Yitang had no idea how to deal with him and said casually:

"Lantang."

"Candy candy?"

"...No, the Tang of Begonia Flower."

"Oh," Shu Shu was lying on her back, sleeping in an obedient posture, "can I call you Tangtang?"

"...No," Chu Yitang felt goosebumps appear on his skin when he called her, "You're not a little girl, don't call her Dui Zi."

Shu Shu retorted: "I also repeat words, and I'm not a little girl."

"That's right, you are Xiao Douding," Chu Yitang closed his eyes again, Shu Shu was unwilling to give in, and poked him again, "I can't call you daddy, and I can't call you by your full name. Why can't I call you that?"

Chu Yitang ignored him.

Shu Shu was disappointed: "Do you really want to call me Dad?"

"Otherwise, what do you want to be called?"

"OK then……"

Shu Shu couldn't resist and had no choice but to compromise. Chu Yitang rubbed his belly and tucked him in.

Tonight is the first night of the ghost market. Jinxiu Building will not welcome guests until the second day. Chu Yitang is not in a hurry at this time.

The night was dark, Chu Yitang closed his eyes and didn't sleep well.

He was dreaming again.

In the dream, there was a vast expanse of wilderness. The setting sun was like blood, covering the sky and earth with a bright red color. The battlefield was chaotic and chaotic, and smoke was everywhere. He was running in the wilderness, looking for something, but all he could see was broken limbs and broken arms, and rivers of blood. Chu Yitang was at a loss. There was a figure in the sky in the distance, but before he came close, it disappeared with the wind, leaving only an afterimage.

Stopped abruptly.

Chu Yitang suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, and his hands were shaking. He got up and got out of bed, found the medicine bottle, and without the water, he poured one pill into his hand and took it into his mouth. He leaned on the table to relax for a long time, his chest felt tight and tight. When the pain finally dissipated, he raised his hand and touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

While he was breathing steadily, he caught a glimpse of the shadow beside him from the corner of his eye. He turned his head, and Shu Shu was behind him, clenching her little fists and leaning her head to look at him.

"What happened to you?"

Chu Yitang waved his hand and drank half a glass of water: "It's okay."

Shu Shu hesitated for a moment, then climbed up on the stool with great effort, using her feet to gently tug on his sleeve:

"I used to have nightmares a lot, it's okay."

Chu Yitang's face turned pale: "Does Little Douding also have nightmares?"

Shu Shu nodded: "Yes, I can't sleep when I have nightmares."

Chu Yitang tried his best to smile, and then took Shu Shu back to the bed, fearing to scare the child, and said:

"It's just a nightmare. It will be fine in a while. You can go to sleep."

Shu Shu covered the quilt to the tip of her chin, folded her hands in front of her, and closed her eyes obediently.

Chu Yitang didn't lie down anymore. He stared at the darkness outside the window and sat quietly until dawn.
