I picked up a ghost and took it home

"I'm a ghost."

And turned his head back half a turn.

That's how it scares people.

Ah ha ha ha ha... Ye Fan's heart was clamoring crazily, his face was blank, he swallowed the pastry biscuits in two or three bites, grabbed the sun fried egg and stuffed it into his mouth, and then stared at Li Xuan. With long black and beautiful hair, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled calmly, "Are you a ghost? What's so great about a ghost."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode back to his bed, lay down calmly, pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes.

Li Xuan turned back expressionlessly.He stared at the empty plates on the table, with annoyance in his eyes, kicked the table, and the plates and bowls on the table clattered and shattered.

Ye Fan closed his eyes tightly, his body was shivering under the blanket, covered in cold sweat.

What happened just now... God, every day... Nah!Tucao powerless!Powerless to complain!It must be a hallucination, it must be a hallucination, fall asleep quickly... There are no ghosts in the world, only people who talk too much will have ghosts A scientist is here to explain...

Ye Fan didn't know how he fell asleep.After the room was quiet, Li Xuan stood blankly in front of the dining table, frowning and looking sullen.Suddenly, there was a very soft "grunt" in his stomach.

His body shook slightly.

...what does it feel like?The body that has been illusory for so many years, the body that has not eaten or drank for so many years, the body that has never felt real, is it actually hungry?

No wonder I was so upset when I saw that guy eating just now.

As soon as Li Xuan lifted his footsteps, he had already drifted into the bedroom. He slammed the door with his hand, and fell headlong into von Margaret's soft and comfortable embrace. He was so bored and a little hungry, so let's go to sleep.

Then, Li Xuan was awakened by the aroma of stewed meat.

It has been many, many years, and the things that have long since disappeared in the long river of memory should not be remembered, but when he smelled the fragrance, his body trembled, and his instincts woke up. After a long time, Li Xuan raised his head from the fiery red duvet. Pressing his empty stomach, he sat up listlessly.

The sunset outside the window was strong, and his face was hidden in the scattered hair, a little foggy and dazed.

It seems that it is not an illusion. His body, which has been silent for so long, is really about to revive?He set his eyes on the big copper bed under him, and after a while, he frowned slightly.

When Ye Fan woke up, he decided to stew meat to calm himself down.

He stewed the meat in a pot and took another bath. He didn't feel his tense mood relax until he wiped off the water from his hair and sat on the stone bench in the yard, blowing the evening wind. .

In the past few days, he was probably too tired, so he was in a trance and had hallucinations.It must have been hallucinations in the morning, ghosts or something - there was no way.

It was almost time, Ye Fan walked into the kitchen with a towel hanging around his neck, and saw Li Xuan standing in front of the meat pot—even though there were no ghosts in this world, Ye Fan's calf still trembled unconsciously.

Ye Fan wiped off the sudden cold sweat with the towel around his neck, then walked around Li Xuan in front of the pot with no expression on his face, and turned off the gas.With a calm voice, he tried to make himself look calm, "What is your purpose? Why are you here?"

Li Xuan stared at the meat pot, his nostrils trembled slightly, and he inhaled the aroma, "Eat meat."

It was early autumn, and it was getting darker and earlier, but it was only time to get up and cook a meal, and the twilight outside the window had already come.The coolness, mixed with the smell of meat, made Ye Fan's back stand up with a layer of fine hair.

"Why me? We didn't know each other before, and I just kindly took you in." Even Ye Fan, who had been unlucky since he was a child, felt grievances beyond measure, but his posture was still upright, not letting his timidity show.

The quietness of the kitchen could be heard as needles fell, and Li Xuan could not hear the answer. Ye Fan smiled bitterly, "You can eat my meat, but can you wait for me to finish this ribs? It has been carefully stewed for one and a half hours. I used a lot of gas and spices, if I don’t eat it, it will be a waste, and I’m sorry for the pig brother who contributed the delicate ribs to me.”

Li Xuan's eyes finally moved away from the meat pot, looking at Ye Fan, "..."

baffling.He couldn't remember. Were human beings such self-talking, cranky things?

The fragrant braised pork ribs came out of the pot, and there was half a pot. Ye Fan also mixed a vegetable salad and made an egg drop soup, and then served it with rice.When he was doing these things, he was more serious, more focused, and more solemn than usual, as if he was preparing a table for the last supper... well, it was the last supper.

Seeing Li Xuan sitting upright on the sofa, Ye Fan no longer evaded. He moved the small stool, ignored Li Xuan's eyes staring at him as if he wanted to eat people, and directly grabbed the ribs and ate them.The pork ribs are stewed very successfully. When placed in a basin, they are bright and rosy, with a tangy aroma; when eaten in the mouth, they are sweet and creamy, with endless aftertaste!Full of happiness, Ye Fan almost forgot that he was about to become someone else's food...

Terrible thing, let's talk after this meal.

He was so happy, transparent tears welled up in Ye Fan's clear eyes, he was concentrating on eating, when he suddenly heard a loud stomach cry from the opposite side, "Gulu!"

Ye Fan's body trembled, and the other party seemed to be very hungry... He struck faster, gobbled it up, and the ribs were about to bottom out soon...

There was another "grunt" sound from the opposite side.

While stuffing the ribs, Ye Fan looked at Li Xuan pleadingly, "Be patient, be patient, we're almost done..."

Although Li Xuan said his face was expressionless, the raised eyebrows still showed his hunger, anxiety and anger deeply. He sat cross-legged on the sofa, his right index finger kept shaking, as if he was trying his best to endure, and he looked very painful , he stared at the few braised pork ribs left, and said coldly, "Hungry."

"..." Ye Fan didn't know what was going on, but he could see a trace of grievance from Li Xuan's expression, and this trace of grievance actually made him feel a little bit unbearable. Will sympathize with a hungry ghost that is about to eat him... He put down the half-eaten ribs in his hand, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, arranged his hair and clothes, and then sat upright on the small bench.

Ye Fan closed his eyes, trying not to let his voice tremble, "You eat."

...Although the suicide note has not been prepared yet, he has no relatives in the world. Even if he wants to write it, he doesn't know who to write it to... and his taxi, who to give it to... and the passbook!

Thinking of the passbook, Ye Fan immediately opened his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Wait, let me explain the passbook, and you can eat it—"

Then Ye Fan swallowed all his words——

Li Xuan was holding a bowl of pork ribs in his arms, and he was already chowing down. Seeing Ye Fan open his eyes and tell him to "wait", Li Xuan immediately frowned and stared over, hugged the bowl in his arms, and said defensively, "These, be mine."

Li Xuan ate in a hurry, oil and soup were all over his hands and corners of his mouth, as if he was really hungry.

……Why?If you eat meat, do you want ribs?Don't eat me?Hey, are ghosts such a light-mouthed species?Hey hey?Ye Fan's face was blank, but his heart was overwhelmed, what the hell?Why are there ghosts?Where do ghosts come from and where are ghosts going?Are there ghosts in this world?

Ye Fan observed Li Xuan for a long time, saw that he was absorbed in eating hard and didn't care to talk to himself, so he couldn't help asking carefully, "Would you like a bowl of rice?"

Hearing "rice", Li Xuan slowed down his meat-eating movements, and with a "gurgling" sound in his stomach, he swallowed and nodded expressionlessly.

Ye Fan filled the rice with precarious footsteps, added chopsticks, and placed it in front of Li Xuan, "Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables, and the nutrition should be balanced." After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, should he pay attention to nutrition?Aren't ghosts supposed to eat human flesh and drink human blood?

"Oh." Li Xuan glanced at the bowl of green vegetables on the table, then at Ye Fan, then fixed his eyes on Ye Fan's mouth, and said slowly, "You have juice on your mouth."

Ye Fan subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, and sure enough, she ate too fast just now.He took out the paper towel, wiped his mouth clean, and looked at Li Xuan who was holding a chopstick of vegetables in front of him and sniffing carefully under his nose, with a serious expression and a sense of cautious exploration.

Li Xuan's cold face and the corners of his mouth were also full of braised soup.

The contrast of the picture is extremely sharp.

It seems that the world is full of fireworks all of a sudden.

"Ha ha ha ha ha..." Ye Fan suddenly covered his face with his hands and laughed softly.He completely understood, as if a sudden idea came to his mind, it suddenly became clear... Are there ghosts in this world?There are ghosts in this world.But what happened to the ghost?What's so scary about ghosts?Ghosts are just like people, like white clouds floating in the sky, like big rivers flowing on the ground, like birds flying down from branches, like chickens, ducks and fish in captivity. Every creature has its own strengths and weaknesses.Ghosts and humans, humans and birds, in essence, we are all the same!

Li Xuan looked at the man who suddenly started laughing, and after a long time, he uttered four words: "Inexplicable." Then, he brought the ribs to his mouth, and with a groan, he bit off a large piece of meat.

Ye Fan was revived with blood, and drove happily through the streets and alleys of Xuanyuan Ancient City. The bright lights, the gradually quiet city, and the cool night breeze all made him feel happy, and he could laugh out loud without knowing it. At 12 o'clock, Ye Fan went to the convenience store to buy a cup of hot coffee, and leaned against the window of the convenience store to drink while resting his mind.

There weren't many customers in this restaurant, so Qingzi, the little girl on the night shift, leaned against the counter and stared at Ye Fan in a daze.

Seeing Ye Fan looking out the window and laughing for the nth time, Qingzi asked curiously: "Brother Ye, you are very happy today, did something good happen?"

Ye Fan often came to buy coffee in the middle of the night, and he was handsome. Qingzi remembered him every time he came and went, and the two often chatted a little while waiting for the coffee.Ye Fan didn't say much, but over time, Qingzi also knew that he was a night taxi driver, 27 years old, single, graduated from the Department of Philosophy, Gucheng University...

After Ye Fan asked, he saw himself through the glass window, and he was really smiling.He thought for a while and said, "Probably because I suddenly understood some truths, and then realized that my persistence was really ridiculous."

Although Haruko didn't understand what Ye Fan was talking about at all, it was rare that Ye Fan didn't leave in a hurry after drinking the coffee, so she couldn't help but continue talking, "What do you understand?"

Ye Fan turned to look at Qingzi, "Do you believe in ghosts?"

"..." Haruko was puzzled by the question. She didn't know for a moment whether she should make a frightened expression and take the opportunity to sneak into Ye Fan's arms to seek protection, or she should pretend not to care and say carelessly, "Don't talk nonsense, what is going on in the world?" There may be a ghost." Moreover, when Ye Fan asked the question, the expression on his face was very serious, not like he was joking.She retreated, "Brother Ye, I'll answer your question, can you also answer my question?"

"can."

"I don't think there are ghosts in the world." Haruko said this with a serious expression, then blushed slightly uncomfortably, and asked, "Brother Ye, are you free this weekend?"

"During the day?" Ye Fan asked.

"Well, I don't have a part-time job this weekend, I want to go to the playground." Haruko touched the items on the shelf by the door, not daring to look at Ye Fan, whispered.

"Do you want to charter a car or take you there one-way?" Ye Fan took out his mobile phone and turned to a number, "This is our company's car-hailing number, if you want to go, call this. I don't drive during the day. "

"..." Qingzi took down the car-hailing phone number in a daze, watched Ye Fan walk out of the convenience store, and then said depressedly, "I want to ask you to go to the playground..." Then she recovered and found that she was stroking Ye Fan under her fingers. The hot outer packaging said "love love it boldly", and it turned out to be a box of condoms... No wonder, when Ye Fan gave her the number, he glanced at her and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Ye Fan walked out of the convenience store with a sullen head and took a deep breath of the night breeze. He didn't understand what young people were thinking now. He walked back to the car and was about to sit in when suddenly a pair of hands came from behind, He covered his mouth, then dragged him into a car, and the car started quickly, across the street in front of him, and into a dark alley.

Ye Fan looked up in shock, looking at the driver, his eyes almost fell out.He struggled to speak, but with a sour towel stuffed in his mouth, he could only utter "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ye Fan roared in his heart: "What the hell, you're making wool!"
