    ?

    In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and the business of Li Lingze's inn is booming. His daughter Li Huainan is already ten years old, and she is bright, beautiful, lively and pleasant.

    Occasionally, when a bonfire party is held in the inn, he will dance and play the guitar with his father Li Lingze, which is very popular with the guests.

    Not long after the new year, Li Lingze and his wife Yang Lan went to other places to discuss business, so they stayed in Huainan with their grandparents, in the east of Xuanpu Mountain, next door to a small town called Jingshui.

    The scenery of the small town is more beautiful than that of Jianmu Town, but in the mountains, the transportation is inconvenient. Except for the occasional donkey friends who venture into the mountains, there are few outsiders entering the town, so it seems quieter.

    There is an opera stage in the southeast of the town. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month, there will be opera troupes singing slang songs every night.

    ? At first, I went to Huainan with my grandparents. Later, I got to know the local children well, so I left my grandparents and started playing with my friends.

    Sometimes the song is over, and the grandparents want to go home and greet Huainan, and the children are having fun, so they are not willing to part.  If there are only a hundred or so families in the town, I can't lose them. The children will go back after they have had enough fun, and they will ignore them.

    Every time I go home in the evening, there will always be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing on the side of the road at the intersection of the turn, looking around, as if looking for someone.

    When Huainan walked with the children, the girl would look at them for a while, and sometimes sigh.  More than a week passed like this, and the girl stood at the intersection and waited every day.

    The playmates left late that day, it got dark early, and the snowflakes started to fall again. The snow fell bigger and bigger, and the red lanterns along the street flickered, and the ground was already white.

    Because of the heavy snow, there are very few pedestrians on the street. Huainan was thinking about this, so grandparents should be worried.  When I looked up, I saw that sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was still standing there waiting at the intersection. The snow had covered her shoulders, but it didn't melt away.

    "Sister." Huainan walked by, thought for a while and then returned, "Are you waiting for someone?"

    The girl looked down at Huainan and hummed.

    "Who is sister waiting for?" Huainan asked.

    The girl turned her head and thought, "Sister."

    Huainan said: "You wait for your sister. But, it's snowing so much, you should go home quickly. When your sister comes back, she will go back by herself."

    The girl was stunned suddenly, and said, "Will sister come back?"

    Seeing her bending down and asking, Huainan hurriedly reached out to help her brush off the snowflakes on her shoulders, and smiled slightly, "Sister will definitely come back."

    The girl gave a soft oh, and took out a photo in her pocket. The photo showed a burning fire, and there was a shadow of a person in the corner of the flame. Looking at the background, it seemed to be that stage.

    Persuasion failed, Huainan waved goodbye to the girl.

    It is estimated that it was drenched in snow and freezing, Huainan kept sneezing as soon as he got home, and suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night, and his grandparents were so panicked that they looked for medicine to reduce the fever.

    In a daze, Huainan seemed to have a dream, dreaming that the girl was still waiting in the heavy snow, motionless, the snow fell all night, and the girl waited there all night.

    The sky and the earth were all white, and the girl stood there alone, waiting, holding the photo, and murmured, "Sister sister"

    Huainan woke up from a dream, which shocked his grandparents again. Seeing that the sky was already bright and gloomy, the snow had stopped.

    Grandma hurriedly stepped forward to check, the fever had subsided, and the cold seemed to be much better. She was glad in her heart and hurried to prepare breakfast.

    Huainan was thinking about the dream just now, and somehow he was worried, so he sneaked out and saw a shadow standing under the lantern at the intersection from a distance, sighed softly, turned and left.

    It's that girl, could it be that she really stood here all night.

    "Sister." Huainan shouted, and ran up quickly.

    The girl was not surprised when she saw Huainan, and said, "You're here."

    Huainan hurriedly said, "Did you wait here all night?"

    The girl nodded.

    Huainan was surprised, and hurried to hold her hand, but the girl was surprised at this time, and hurriedly pulled it back.

    Huainan had already grasped it, but he shivered again. The girl's hand was icy cold.

    "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The girl hurriedly waved her hands.

    "Didn't your sister come back all night?" Huainan asked, seeing the girl nodding, he hurriedly asked, "Where did she go?"

    The girl shook her head, "I don't know. It's been a long time, I'm gone."

    Huainan couldn't understand, "Why did it disappear?"

     The girl didn't answer, she looked down at the photo, and then at the stage in the distance.  Seeing that she didn't answer, Huainan thought he didn't want to say it, so he asked, "What's your sister's name?"

    The girl lowered her head and thought, as if she couldn't remember her own name, she said for a moment: "Cicada."

    Chanxia, ??what a nice name, Huainan thought to himself, and quickly answered, "My name is Li Huainan."

    "Huainan?" A shout came from a distance, Huainan hurriedly turned his head, it was Brother Xiaoyan who played together on weekdays, hurriedly greeted.

    Xiaoyan is three years older than Huainan, and is the leader of a group of children. He just went to make breakfast, and he was still carrying soy milk. When he passed by, he looked like Huainan, so he greeted him. He didn't think it was Huainan, and walked up with the soy milk.  He came forward and said, "It's a cold day, why do you get up so early?"

    Huainan said with a smile, "Brother Yan is also very early."

    Song Yan looked at Huainan's flushed cheeks, and said, "In such a cold day, early in the morning, there is no one on the road. What are you doing here alone?"

    Huainan pretended to look left and right, and said, "Not even a shadow? Oh, brother Yan is a monster."

    Song Yan laughed, patted Huainan and said, "You are the only one with a glib tongue."

    Huainan laughed and hurriedly hid behind Chanxia, ??but Song Yan's hand went through Chanxia's body and hit Huainan. Huainan stared blankly, staggered and fell to the ground in shock.

    Song Yan was startled, and hurried to help, saying: "What's the matter, I didn't use any force, I was joking."

    Huainan looked at Chan Xia in horror, but saw Chan Xia turned around, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

    Huainan stared in astonishment, Song Yan didn't understand, so he looked at Huainan and then at the place where she was staring, but there was nothing, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong? Are you okay, what are you looking at?"

    Huainan came back to his senses, pointed at the place where Chan Xia was standing and said, "That, that, therepeople."

    Song Yan looked around, who is there?

    But Chanxia was clearly standing in front of him.

    Huainan looked at Chanxia in horror, and then at Song Yan who had a puzzled face, and yelled, "Ghost." Pushing Song Yan away, he fled in panic.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
