I picked up a ghost and took it home

His uncle took his hand and sent him outside a tall iron gate.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since his uncle held his hand, and he almost flew up happily.

But although he was happy, he still didn't dare to speak. He just kept rubbing his trousers with his idle hands, and his palms were full of sweat.The small schoolbag that was heavy on his shoulder was filled with candies that his uncle bought for him. The schoolbag slapped his buttocks one after another. Before he could eat it, he felt that it was already very sweet.

Guan Tong put the old luggage bag at his feet, squatted in front of Ye Fan, helped Ye Fan straighten the crooked red scarf, raised his sleeve and wiped Ye Fan's profuse sweat, and said patiently, " Xiaofan, from today onwards, you will live here with other children, you have to be good and study hard, you know?"

Ye Fan glanced timidly at the tall iron gate beside him, and asked in a low voice, "When can I go home?"

Guan Tong smiled vaguely, "I'll pick you up after a while."

Ye Fan worried and asked again, "I got No.1 in the exam, will you come and pick me up?"

Guan Tong vaguely agreed, "Oh."

Only then did Ye Fan feel relieved, and said seriously, "I will be obedient, study hard, and get No.1."

Guan Tong touched Ye Fan's head, stood up and looked at the dean beside him, he took out a thick envelope from his pocket, and said in embarrassment, "Dean Fu, Xiao Fan will leave it to you, this is His book fees... Anyway, he is a good boy, you must watch him finish high school."

The dean's eyes behind the thick glasses looked very unfriendly.Guan Tong was not at ease. After stuffing the envelope, he turned around and left as if fleeing.Ye Fan ran after him and shouted, "Uncle!"

Guan Tong stopped stiffly and turned his head to look.

Ye Fan's big eyes were full of tears, his small face was full of anxiety and fear, but his words were very cute, "Uncle, I will study hard. When I pass the No.1 exam, you come and take me home."

Guan Tong waved his hand, "Go in."

Until Guan Tong's figure disappeared, Ye Fan still stood motionless.

The dean lifted Ye Fan's luggage, and called out abruptly, "Ye Fan, come with me." Ye Fan looked up at the gloomy strange man in front of him, and shivered violently.

The iron gate closed behind him.

There are many children in the yard, laughing, crying, screaming, and making noise.

Ye Fan lowered his head and followed the principal into the dormitory. The dormitory is not big, and it is densely packed with small beds.The dean put Ye Fan's luggage beside an empty bed, "You will sleep here from now on, pack your things yourself."

After the dean finished speaking and walked out, Ye Fan mustered up the courage to pull the sleeve of the dean, raised his head and said, "I, I can't live with others."

The dean said with a half-smile, "This is not your house, there is no single room."

Ye Fan shook his head desperately and explained, "No, no! I am 'Sang Men Xing' and will bring misfortune to others, so I cannot live with his children."

The dean squatted down, looked at Ye Fan and asked, "Who said you are a 'sangmen star'?"

"Uncle and aunt." Ye Fan blinked her big eyes and explained earnestly, "My mother died when I was born, and my father died when I was two years old. Not long after my uncle took me by my side, my aunt's baby was gone. My uncle also had a serious illness. A child in my class broke his arm while running, and the math teacher was hit on the head by a flower pot that fell from upstairs... and the child’s homework was torn apart. My eraser is always lost... I will bring misfortune to the people around me, so I can't live with other children."

There was a smile on the dean's gloomy face. He hugged Ye Fan's thin body in his arms, hugged him tightly, and said softly, "Stay here first, and I will arrange a single room for you later."

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously, "Thank you, Dean."

There was no one in the dormitory, and there was noise from the yard.Ye Fan sat on the luggage bag for a while, and finally realized that his uncle would not change his mind and come to take him away, so he knelt on the ground beside him and opened the luggage bag.There are small toys and a few pieces of clothing that he usually can't put it down.There are two drawers under the bed. He opened the drawers, put the toys and clothes in order, and closed the drawers.

Suddenly there was the rustling of clothes behind her.

Ye Fan turned his head in fear, and saw not far behind him, lying between two small beds, was a boy lying on his stomach, looking at him with terrified eyes.

"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked in fear.

"There are many ghosts around you." The boy said in fear.

Ye Fan couldn't bear it any longer, and cried "Wow".The boy was taken aback by Ye Fan, and cried "Wow".

The crying brought the aunt over and gave them both a scolding.

It was only at night that Ye Fan knew that the boy who said there was a ghost beside him was named "Feng Ping", and he slept in the bed next to him, and was sent in by relatives just like him.Feng Ping huddled under the quilt and looked at Ye Fan and said, "I can see ghosts, and my uncles and aunts are very afraid of me, so they sent me here. You are a 'Sang Men Xing'? What is that? It sounds amazing, Tell me about it."

Ye Fan was terribly frightened, and didn't dare to listen to Feng Ping's words, so he could only pull up the quilt and cover his head tightly.The next day, I didn't know if I caught a cold or was scared, so I developed a high fever.

After that, although Feng Ping always loved to join him, he didn't talk about "ghosts" anymore.

But Ye Fan could always hear voices. In the middle of the night, when everyone else was asleep, it seemed that someone quietly asked by his bedside, "Are you born in anticipation? Why were you abandoned? It's not because they hate you." , did you just throw you away?"

Ye Fan huddled into a ball under the quilt, covering her mouth and not daring to cry out.

He retorted desperately in his heart, "They didn't abandon me. When I get No.1 in the exam, my uncle will come and take me home."

But he got a lot of No.1s, and no one came to take him home.

……

"Were you born in anticipation? Why were you abandoned? Didn't they abandon you because they hated you?" A faint voice asked beside the bed.

Ye Fan lifted the quilt with trembling hands, and saw the man sitting beside the bed.The bleak moonlight came in through the undrawn curtains, making the man's figure look a little transparent.

"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked with a sob.

"I'm your good friend, here to take you away." The man said.

"But I don't know you." Ye Fan frowned and said, "Where are you taking me?"

"Do you want to go home? I'll take you home."

Against the light, Ye Fan couldn't see the man's face clearly, so he asked in a low voice, "Is it uncle's house?"

"Yes."

Ye Fan lifted the quilt out of bed, followed the man out of the dormitory, and came to the yard.There was silence all around, Ye Fan turned his head to look at the dark dormitory for the last time, thinking that he could finally go home.But when he looked at the man next to him again, he found that the man had turned into a mass of eerie black air——

Hei Qi opened his mouth ferociously and rushed towards him, Ye Fan screamed in horror, his legs were so weak that he couldn't run, and he slumped on the ground.

Seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the black qi, a whip suddenly came down from mid-air and slammed on the black qi.The originally invisible black air seemed to have been hit hard, and twisted and struggled in the air, letting out a hoarse whine.

Immediately afterwards, the whip came for the second time.

The black air suddenly dissipated, fell from mid-air, and fell to the ground, turning into a skinny, green young man.

The whip disappeared out of thin air.Instead, a beautiful woman seemed to fall from the sky and landed between Ye Fan and the young man.The woman stepped forward and kicked the young man's feet, crossed her slender waist and yelled, "You don't have eyes, you have been abandoned by others, and you come to seduce other people's children with resentment, shameless, damn it!" Damn it!"

The young man—the young male ghost, looked at the woman bitterly, "Master Meng, I didn't hook up with you casually, this child is so tough, it's not good for the people around me to live, I eat him to kill the people... ...Besides, for this meal, do you know how many days I have spent? Huh, huh..."

"Oh, you're making sense!" Meng Xuan continued to kick violently, cursing non-stop, "Who said our child has a hard horoscope, why didn't the horoscope kill you..."

It wasn't until the young male ghost dissipated into a puff of smoke that Meng Xuan was taken aback. She carefully retracted her feet, looked around, and muttered to herself, "There should be no subordinates of Nana around, and there shouldn't be any of them." Discovered by Nana——I killed a ghost, right?"

Ye Fan's face was full of tears, his mouth was full of snot, and he asked, "Who are you?"

Meng Xuan's body froze and she regained her senses, and instantly changed from a shrew to a fairy.She brushed her long black hair, Pingping walked back to Ye Fan, bent down, and asked kindly, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"

"Beautiful." Ye Fan asked honestly, "Are you a fairy sister?"

Meng Xuan was elated, "Yeah, I'm the fairy herself." She wiped Ye Fan's tears and snot, took advantage of the opportunity to pinch Ye Fan's pitiful little face, and said, "How can you talk to strangers casually?" Why don't you leave? The teacher didn't teach you, don't talk to strangers!"

"...I'm sorry." Ye Fan lowered his head in shame.

But Meng Xuan said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, our little leaf has grown so big, the last time I saw you was a little baby!" She took out a handful of colorful candies from her bag and handed them over, "Here you eat sugar."

Ye Fan shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and refused to answer, "I don't eat candy."

Last time my uncle also bought a lot of candy for him, and then put him here, so he is not wanted anymore.

"Then eat chicken legs?" Meng Xuan conjured up a delicious roasted chicken leg out of thin air, "Do you like this?"

Ye Fan said "no", but his body was drooling honestly, and he looked at Meng Xuan tangled.

"Eat it, don't worry about it, just like a little old man." Meng Xuan stuffed the chicken leg into Ye Fan's hand, then picked up Ye Fan and put it in her arms, looking at Ye Fan's slender arms and legs, she sighed and said , "He's too thin, how can he marry a wife in the future? This won't work, Xiao Yezi, you should eat more and exercise more, and you will grow taller in the future, you know? Boys can only be handsome if they are tall, you know? Boys can marry beautiful wives only if they are handsome, you know?"

"En!" Ye Fan raised his head from the chicken leg, and seriously agreed.

Meng Xuan patted his head in satisfaction.After Ye Fan finished eating the chicken drumsticks, he remembered, "Who was that brother just now?"

"Don't pay attention to him, he's a dead ghost." Meng Xuan rolled her eyes.

Hearing the word "ghost", the corner of Ye Fan's mouth twitched, and the tears he had just swallowed overflowed again.

Meng Xuan quickly said, "What's wrong?"

"...ghost, ghost, ghost... afraid of ghosts..."

"Why are ghosts so scary?" Meng Xuan asked solemnly.

Ye Fan was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't figure out how scary a "ghost" was, but anyway, he just said, "Scared."

Meng Xuan burst out laughing, poked Ye Fan's frowning brows with her fingers, and said with a smile, "Little Ye Zi, ghosts are not scary, or in other words, there are no ghosts in the world, ghosts are in people's hearts. If you have ghosts in your heart , you feel that ghosts are scary; if there are no ghosts in your heart, there will be no ghosts in the world.”

"..." Ye Fan sniffed his nose and looked bewildered.

Meng Xuan asked directly, "Do you have ghosts in your heart?"

Ye Fan looked at Meng Xuan stupidly for a long time before saying, "Yes."

Meng Xuan was thoroughly amused, she hugged Ye Fan and laughed, "It's so silly, but I like it."

Ye Fan asked blankly, "You, are you my mother?"

Meng Xuan was taken aback by the question, "Huh?"

"Uncle said that although my mother is dead, she will always be by my side." Ye Fan looked at Meng Xuan longingly, "Am I in a dream now, are you my mother?"

Meng Xuan sighed softly, "You are in a dream, but I am not your mother, but you can treat me as your mother."

Ye Fan didn't understand.Meng Xuan said softly, "I will come to see you again, you have to grow up well. Now it's time to go back to sleep."

Ye Fan stood up with a vague understanding, and walked back to the dormitory.When he lay down, he found that Feng Ping was huddled under the quilt, staring at him with open eyes, and said softly, "Xiao Fan, you are back. You can't just go with the bad guys."

Ye Fan woke up with a shock.
