Although Halloween is a Western ghost festival, it is actually not scary at all. Although most people dress up in strange shapes on this night, zombies, demons, vampires and even aliens are mainly fun and not scary. On this night, the children were even more arrogant, wearing strange masks and carrying jack-o-lanterns to play trick-or-treat games. Will yell outside the house, and then smash the decorative jack-o-lantern outside the house.
Angela's favorite thing now is Halloween, she doesn't care about candy or change, but it's really interesting to be walking around the street with friends and then harassing residents everywhere, like now - "No Trick or treat!" The shouting was accompanied by constant knocks on the door.
"Okay, here we come." The hostess's voice came from behind the door. When she opened the door, although she was mentally prepared, she was startled by a little one, and four pumpkin heads floated outside the door!
The hostess calmed down and quickly saw that they were actually four children, all covered in black cloaks, not much different from most Halloween people, but with a big pumpkin head on their heads, so that If you are not careful, you will really think that there are pumpkin heads floating in the air.
"Change or candy!" The child at the front shouted, holding a small jack-o-lantern, waving a small fist, with a clear voice, it was a girl.
"Don't worry, my dear, there are all of them." The hostess said with a smile, grabbed a handful of candy and a pair of coins that had been exchanged long ago from the two small wooden barrels hanging behind the door, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
The group of children cheered and couldn't make faces, so they waved to the hostess and ran away quickly.
"Angie, where are we going now?" the second girl in the line wearing a pumpkin head asked the girl at the front. There were many people parading on the street, so there were also many children asking for candy. Families on this street Almost all of them have been asked, although they will not reject other children, but Angela said that the first time is the most fun, so always look for those who have not been patronized by children, or seem to have not been patronized by other children. family.
"Go to Walls Street, there must be families that have not been molested." The little girl said confidently.
"But Angie, we went out like this in the middle of Walls Street. If we run back and forth, we definitely won't have enough time to go back." The third little girl with a pumpkin head was speaking. She and the fourth girl are two sisters. , lives not far from Jessica, is also Angela's classmate, and everyone is playmates.
"Let me think about it," Angela patted her head on her head, "Well, at the intersection, Ruth and Lily look west, and Jesse and I head east. If it's too late to come back, then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will divide the candy and coins."
Saying that, she took off the basket in her hand: "Now let's divide these first, I'm still the same as before."
As I said before, Angela is not interested in candy and coins, but she likes to collect all kinds of candy - most families like to do it by themselves, and there are many creative works, so every year the little girl likes to try it. Experiment with how many styles you can collect.
The other three girls were not polite. Anyway, they were already used to her practice. They mixed the coins and candies in their respective baskets two or three times, then divided them into three portions, and then picked out two or three candies of various colors and handed them over to Angela. The little girl wrapped her own share in a paper bag and put it in her clothes pocket, then quickly ran to the street, said goodbye to each other and started to split up.
The parade crowd on Walls Street was indeed smaller, but it was only a few. Angela and Jessica ran several houses in a row, but either the pumpkin decoration in front of the house was trampled, or a child just wanted it. The candy left, and along the way, everyone was very high, and there were often people shouting and running over to pretend to be scary and scary. Although the two little guys would return to the color, the speed of asking for the candy was obviously slowed down a lot.
"Angie, why do we have to go to those families that have never been asked for candy?" Jessica couldn't help asking during the break.
"You ask me this question every year, can't you think of it yourself?" Behind the pumpkin head's triangular-shaped eyes, the little girl's eyes were wickedly curved.
"Don't tell me what to pursue for the first time." Although she knew that the other party couldn't see, Jessica rolled her eyes.
"What a fool, if we were always going door-to-door, we could walk a few streets." Angela tapped on Jessica's pumpkin head. Every Halloween, her parents allowed her to go to this block and Jessica spent it together, and there weren't many opportunities to run and run as much as she wanted.
"Don't call me an idiot!" Jessica protested, but now that the pumpkin head is separated, her biggest killer can't be used, and she can't threaten Angela.
Even so, Jessica had other options: "By the way, Angie, did Mr. Savior write to you?"
"Jay! West!" Angela called her name in a dangerous tone.
"What's the matter, I thought you left him the address because he thought he would write a warm letter like that Canadian girl." Although I couldn't see Jessica's expression in Pumpkin Head, the teasing meant that it was very obvious.
"Jie! Si! Ka!" Angela's tone became more and more dangerous. She knew that she would not tell her about the reception. When she left that day, facing Edward's plea, although she still did not give him his phone number in the end, but After softening his heart, he still left his home address, but Edward's language skills are really not flattering. The letters he wrote are full of wrong words and sentences, which makes people have a headache.
"But obviously he likes you very much, so, Angie, do you like him too? I guess it should be." Jessica was still talking, but no one noticed the smell in her tone.
"You have to pay for what you said!" Angela, who was provoked, said fiercely, reaching out and grabbing Jessica.
Jessica exclaimed, and hurriedly started to run away. The two little guys were joking and joking around the street, and the "ghosts and monsters" on the side of the road also added to the flames from time to time.
After finally crossing a fire hydrant, Angela suddenly dodged and grabbed Jessica's cloak, but Jessica, who was unwilling to fall into the clutches, suddenly twisted her body and tried to struggle away. Angela just didn't keep her balance well. Covered by the cloak, he immediately fell to the side, and two screams sounded at the same time.
Jessica was startled and hurriedly turned to help Angela, but Angela had already jumped up and was about to help another little girl. It was a girl of about 5 years old, wearing the mask of a little devil, fell to the ground, and threw the basket in her hand on the ground, and there were candy coins all over the floor.
"Bastard! You pay me!" The little girl who fell on the ground saw that all her belongings were scattered on the ground, and her knees just hurt so much, she couldn't help crying.
Angela and Jessica, who knew they were wrong, hurriedly took down the pumpkin head that had been swaying in the chase, stepped forward to help her up and apologized and comforted: "I'm sorry, are you alright."
The little girl glared at the two of them fiercely while crying, as if she wanted to rush to take a bite, which made Angela angry and funny, she sighed and raised her basket and said, "Okay, so be it. , how about giving you half of my points as compensation?"
"Who wants you!" The little girl took off her little devil mask and said in a tender voice with a fierce look. She glanced at Angela's basically empty basket and hummed sobbingly: " I have more than you!"
"Well, what are you going to tell me to do?" Angela and Jessica looked at each other and said helplessly.
But the little girl suddenly stopped sobbing, and looked straight at Angela with her eyes open. Angela touched her face strangely, wondering: What is she looking at? This little girl has red hair, a round face, and two lines of tears hanging on it. Her facial features are very delicate, but the streetlights are very blurry, so she can't see it very clearly, but why does it look familiar? The two just looked at each other like this, until Jessica reached out and shook it in the middle: "Can you guys not be in a daze?"
The two girls woke up like a dream, turned their heads a little embarrassedly, adjusted their emotions and turned their heads, Angela coughed dryly: "OK, how do you want me to compensate you?"
The other party took a sniff, rolled his eyes, looked at Angela with excitement, reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, then pouted to the side and said, "Did you see there?"
Angela looked at the place she said. There was an open space between the two houses. There were a lot of people around. At first glance, you could tell that they were playing apple-biting. This is one of the traditional Halloween programs. Put a few apples in it, let them float on the water, and let someone else bite the apples without using their hands - don't think it's easy, the apples chosen to be put in the water basin are all specially washed A smooth, good variety that won't bite at all without a little skill.
Angela quickly understood the other party's thoughts, she would not be afraid, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Okay, the rules."
"Five apples, whoever bites the most will win. The winner has the right to take all the candy and coins that the loser wants before going to bed tonight!" Age-mismatched cunning.
"No problem!" Angela replied without thinking.
