208,naive(1/2)
Tonight is truly a magical night.
For the children of Little Red Horse Late Night Academy, they had never experienced such a scene. Men and women in all kinds of strange clothes were constantly passing by the wall, shouting at them and teasing them.
This group of children are scared and novel. They are scared, but they are reluctant to leave. They are like small fish in a hot spring. They scatter after being lifted, but once there is no movement, they gather around again and sip.
Suck those two feet that just scared them.
At dusk, Xiaobai stood under the sycamore tree as usual, peeking at the people passing by, just like watching small animals in a zoo.
Xi'er and Cheng Cheng were both there, but they were soon frightened. A group of ghost-like people suddenly ran over. They lay down by the wall and shouted at them through the iron fence. Cheng Cheng was frightened and cried.
Xi'er hid behind Xiaobai.
Xiaobai was also frightened, but she quickly took on the responsibility of protecting Cheng Cheng and Xi'er. She protected the two and ran away. Then she filled the small water gun she carried with her and bravely fought with the people outside the wall.
When Zhang Tan arrived, Xiaobai was carrying a small water gun and fighting alone on the front line.
Zhang Tan drove away the people outside the wall, and teachers Xiaoliu also brought the children who were watching the fun back to the classroom.
The night is already dark, and tonight is Halloween. Children should not wander around outside.
"That fierce little girl, yes, it's you, come here!"
A young man came back outside the wall. He was wearing a scarecrow's clothes, but he didn't look like a human being.
But Xiaobai, who was left behind, still managed to get through.
"Where do you live?" She pointed the small water gun at the scarecrow, as cautiously as she should have.
"Today is Halloween, you are a child, I give you candy." The scarecrow outside the wall did not scare her anymore, but took out a handful of candies of different colors from his pocket and stretched them through the iron fence.
Xiaobai stared at the candy and looked at it. It looked real, but she wouldn't take it. Huh, who knows if she might be caught by the bad guys. That would be so dangerous.
"Come here and get it. I'm not going to lie to you. I'll give you something to eat." The Scarecrow saw Xiaobai motionless and urged.
"You're trying to scare little friends, I don't believe you." Xiaobai said.
The scarecrow was stunned, smiled bitterly, put the candy on the ground through the gap in the iron fence, and backed away.
"Then I'll put it on the ground. You can take it yourself."
After saying this, he turned and walked away, his companions calling him.
He just took two steps, stopped again, looked up and looked at the sign of Xiaohongma Midnight Academy, and asked Xiaobai: "Is this a kindergarten? Why is it still open at night?"
"Hoohoho~~" Xiaobai laughed at him: "You are a melon."
scarecrow:"……"
"Then I'm leaving, bye."
Seeing that he was really far away, Xiaobai waved: "Bye~~~"
The other party actually heard it, turned around, waved to Xiaobai, and reminded her not to forget the candies on the ground.
His companion, Miss Pumpkin, asked curiously: "Why are you talking so much to that fierce little girl?"
The Scarecrow said: "She is quite cute."
"Cute? So fierce."
"Have you noticed? This is a late-night academy, and families are in trouble."
Xiaobai watched the other person go away, and then she picked up the candy on the ground until he disappeared.
It's actually true!
She held the candies in both hands and ran happily to the classroom to distribute candies to her friends.
"Seat in a row and eat Guoguo, one for you and one for me~~~"
Xiaobai gave out more than ten candies, but it was still far from enough. There were more than 30 little friends in the school.
But it doesn't matter. Zhang Tan brought candies, one for each child, but no more. If you eat too much, you will get cavities.
"Boss Zhang, what day is today?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Halloween."
"What festival is that?"
"It's Ghost Festival."
Xiaobai was startled and asked: "What? Don't be scared~ Don't scare Cheng Chengthi."
I originally said don't scare her, but Xiaobai didn't want to admit that he was scared, so he changed his mind and said Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng was frightened to tears today, and Xi'er was also in tears. She was also frightened, but she didn't cry out, retaining her last stubbornness.
Zhang Tan saw that Xi'er, who had always laughed and laughed, was crying, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I will tell you a story."
As soon as they heard the story, the children who were happily eating candies gathered around, and Teacher Xiaoliu and Teacher Xiaoman also looked over.
Zhang Tan didn't expect that his casual remarks would attract the attention of so many children. It seemed that it would be difficult to deal with it without some effort.
"Boss, please sit here."
Teacher Xiao Liu brought a chair to Zhang Tan, and Teacher Xiao Man asked the children to sit down.
After Boss Zhang finished telling the story, they planned to continue. Tonight has already reached the storytelling stage.
The TV was turned off, and the moonlight outside was like water, illuminating the yard. In late autumn, the insects chirped much less, but there were still one or two chirping melancholy.
Zhang Tan originally just wanted to tell a random story about Halloween to dispel their fears, but now so many children are cheering, even the teachers are here.
He has to be serious and not let the children look down upon him.
"Today is Halloween, which is also the Ghost Festival. Legend has it that on this day, our deceased relatives will return to the people they loved and visit them."
It's just the beginning, the children are already in a commotion, how can this be done?
However, they all chose to believe that children are always naive. As long as what they say is true, they are all willing to believe it. Only Jiang Bin, who is at the end, looks unmoved.
Zhang Tan continued: "Xiaoguang's grandfather died suddenly of a heart attack. He was very sad. His mother comforted him and said that his grandfather went to heaven and became an angel. His father also said that his grandfather would turn into soil and slowly disappear.
Missing. But Xiaoguang didn't believe it at all. His parents' words didn't make him feel better. He resisted his grandfather's departure and couldn't accept this fact."
As he spoke, the restless children gradually calmed down, and their big eyes stared at him, full of childlike innocence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They really believe everything in the story.
"Xiaoguang missed Grandpa a lot. A few days later, it was Halloween. It was a night just like tonight. The moonlight was very bright, the temperature was a bit cold, and there were many people on the street, wearing all kinds of strange clothes.
, yelling and yelling, and even giving candy to the children."
"On this day, children will also wear strange clothes, carry small baskets, go to neighbors' houses with their friends, or parents, brothers and sisters, knock on their doors, and ask them for some candy.
"
"That night, Xiaoguang, accompanied by his father, went to the neighbor's house to ask for a lot of candies, and also gave many candies to other children who came to the door. Late at night, he returned home and was about to go to bed, but he found that
Grandpa is sitting on the cupboard in his room!"
"Xiaoguang was surprised at first and asked, 'Grandpa, aren't you dead?' Then he suddenly realized, 'Oh, I know, grandpa has become a ghost.'"
"Grandpa said that today is Halloween, and all ghosts can go back to the people they love most to spend this night. After this night, they will leave forever and never come back."
This story is called "Grandpa Became a Ghost". It is a picture book. Zhang Tan has read it and remembered it, but not all of it, but it doesn't matter. As he told it, he made it up himself.
The children listened very carefully.
The story was quickly finished, and the children were talking and chattering, and some asked loudly whether their deceased relatives would really return to them this night.
Zhang Tan said yes.
This stimulated the children, and they chattered as if they were watching a movie.
"I'll leave this to you. Let's put the children to bed early." Zhang Tan whispered to Teacher Xiaoliu and Teacher Xiaoman beside him.
He left quietly, and Teacher Xiaoliu began to tell stories to the children, and also invited children who wanted to perform to come forward to sing and dance.
Xiaobai, who is usually very active, did not move tonight. Even if she was called by Teacher Xiaoliu, she refused.
She seemed to be full of worries and unhappy.
Until ten o'clock in the evening, the children were taken to the dormitory to prepare for rest.
Xiaobai falls last: "Teacher Xiaoman~Teacher Xiaoman~~~"
Teacher Xiaoman, who was greeting the children, looked at the sound and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaobai?"
"Come here, come here."
Xiaobai stood in the corner and waved to her.
Teacher Xiaoman stepped forward and was pulled by Xiaobai's hand to a further corner.
Oh, I have something to tell her privately. Teacher Xiaoman is very happy. It is the first time that Xiaobai wants to tell her such a private thing.
This kid is unlike others. He never talks to them. He may talk to Boss Zhang, but not to them.
"What's wrong, Xiaobai? There's no one here anymore, just tell me, the teacher will keep it a secret for you." Teacher Xiaoman knelt down and reassured Xiaobai to let down his guard.
Xiaobai stared at her, thought for a while, and then asked: "Hey, will grandpa really come to the children after he becomes a ghost?"
Her big eyes were full of hope and anxiety.
Teacher Xiaoman was stunned. This was a story told by Boss Zhang. Xiaobai asked why.
She thought for a while and said: "The people we love and the people who love us will always be by our side."
Many of the lights on the first floor were extinguished, and only a few were still on. The light in the corner was not very good, and only a floor lamp with a light yellow light illuminated the two of them.
In the darkness, Teacher Xiaoman saw Xiaobai's eyes brightened more clearly, and the child asked again: "Where's mom?"
