"Hee hee hee hee!" When Fang Xiaoyuan walked out the door, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter, which startled her greatly.
Growing up in the city since she was a child, she seldom walks at night. Every evening, the street lights are turned on one after another, lighting up the whole city. Darkness does not belong to the city, and it is not easy to find a dark alley in it, let alone such a completely dark night.
Fang Xiaoyuan listened to her father telling stories about the village since she was a child, and knew that there were many strange things in the village, especially late at night.
She shook her head, convincing herself that there must be something wrong with her ears just now, and mustered up the courage to move on.
"Hee hee hee hee hee~ hahahaha!" There was another burst of laughter, this time louder and brighter than before, which temporarily trapped her in her footsteps.
"Who?!" Fang Xiaoyuan looked around vigilantly, but the surrounding darkness was too vast, and she couldn't lock the target for a while. "Who's laughing?"
No one answered her. "Is she leaving?" she heard a small voice ask.
Fang Xiaoyuan turned her head abruptly, and saw that the door was closed tightly, and grandma's snoring could be heard intermittently from inside the room, she was the only one here.
"Hey, are you leaving?" The voice was very clear this time, as if the speaker was standing in front of her. Fang Xiaoyuan rubbed her eyes vigorously, and when she opened her eyes, there was still only the vegetable garden carefully cared for by her grandma.
"I'm here!" the voice reminded, "up there."
Fang Xiaoyuan raised her head, followed the instructions of the voice, and moved her gaze to the eaves. Soon, a cloud of white mist poked its head out towards her from the tall brick chimney at the corner of the roof. No, that was not an ordinary fog, but a face.
"You saw me." The white mist suddenly stretched out a corner and waved at her, as if beckoning, "Fang Xiaoyuan, are you leaving?"
At this time Fang Xiaoyuan was already petrified, she had never seen such a thing before. A talking white mist stands out against the dark background, making it hard to ignore it. Fang Xiaoyuan rubbed her eyes vigorously to confirm again and again that this was not a dream.
"Youyouyou" She didn't know whether it was surprise or fear, but she was suddenly speechless.
"Hehehe!" Seeing her like this, the white mist laughed even more happily. It rose slowly, and after a few seconds, it climbed out of the chimney, and was moving its fat body along the eaves towards Fang Xiaoyuan. Although Fang Xiaoyuan was surprised and frightened at this time, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move at all.
The white mist came directly above her, turned her back, grabbed the eaves with both hands, and panted while moving down. It seems that it doesn't often walk this way, and its movements are not vigorous. After working hard for a long time, but failed to reach the wall, it turned its head and blinked its big black eyes at Fang Xiaoyuan, "Can you help me?"
At this time, Fang Xiaoyuan stared at it without blinking, for fear that this unknown guy would disappear out of thin air if he blinked. She swallowed, and stammered, "Help how?"
"There's a sack over there," Bai Wu said, "take it over and open it, let me jump into it."
Fang Xiaoyuan had no time to think, and just mechanically followed what it said. She pulled down the sack that grandma had left to hang on the fence of the vegetable garden, stretched the mouth of the bag as wide as possible, and lifted it high to where the white mist was. "Let's jump."
A second later, they both fell to the ground at the same time. This guy was heavier than he imagined, Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't hold it with his strength, but now it's good, even she fell along with him.
Bai Wu rubbed her buttocks and stood up, reaching out to pull Fang Xiaoyuan, "I'm sorry" It rubbed its head lightly, "There are too many festivals recently, I accidentally gained weight."
Fang Xiaoyuan has not recovered from the shock. She couldn't see clearly from a distance just now, but now she can recognize this guy carefully. Bai Wu is not tall, half a head shorter than her, but her body is round. It didn't look like a human, but it didn't look like any other animal either. To be precise, Fang Xiaoyuan had never seen anything even remotely similar to it.
"Let me introduce you formally. My name is Xiaoyan." Before she could speak, Bai Wu stretched out her hand, "Nice to meet you."
Knowing that this guy actually has a decent name, Fang Xiaoyuan's mouth opened even wider. She raised her head to look at the tall chimney, then lowered her head to look at Xiaoyan, she couldn't believe that it just climbed down from there.
"What are you doing in the chimney in the middle of the night?" Fang Xiaoyuan asked.
Xiao Yan grinned and laughed loudly, "Because that's my home."
"Home?" Fang Xiaoyuan wondered, "How could it be your home there? This is obviously my grandma's home."
"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Yan waved."But my house is indeed there. If you don't believe me, you can come in and visit."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyuan hesitated, if it wasn't because of the fall just now, her buttocks are still hurting, she would definitely think that this is just a dream.
"Oh yes, I forgot, you are leaving." Xiao Yan looked past Fang Xiaoyuan and landed on the schoolbag behind her, "Are you going home?"
Without its reminder, Fang Xiaoyuan almost forgot her purpose of staying up in the middle of the night and going out fully dressed.
"It's a pity, I still want to make friends with you." A trace of loneliness appeared on Xiao Yan's face, "I haven't met a new partner for many years."
Hearing the word "partner", Fang Xiaoyuan couldn't help being moved. Anyway, if you leave early, you will leave, and if you leave late, you will also leave. She has a lot of time, so why rush? She pursed her lips and raised her head to look at the tall chimney again. "Did you lie to me just now? Is your home really in a chimney?"
Xiao Yan bent her round eyes, "Of course, didn't you see me crawl out of it with your own eyes?"
"That's right." Fang Xiaoyuan thought for a while, "But the chimney is so high, you fell down just now, can you really go up?" In fact, she was asking Xiao Yan and worried about herself. Fang Xiaoyuan has never been a good athlete. The school organizes a 200-meter race, and she is always the last one to reach the finish line. Now that she is suddenly asked to climb to such a high place, she has no confidence in herself.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Xiao Yan patted her chest and promised, "I'll let you go up."
When Fang Xiaoyuan was still worrying, Xiao Yan suddenly knelt down on the ground and turned into a cloud.
"Sit up." It said to Fang Xiaoyuan, "I'll take you up."
Fang Xiaoyuan hesitated. She ate two large bowls of white rice tonight, and half of the plate of braised pork was eaten. She must be gaining weight again. "I'm heavy"
"It's okay, I have plenty of strength." Xiao Yan moved her body and asked her to get on the "car" again. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
