The noon sun was a bit dazzling. The woman and boy stood in front of the haunted house. Even after Chen Ge's explicit rejection, they still did not leave.
"He's always wanted to visit the haunted house. This is what I agreed with him. Can you help?" The woman took out a hundred bills from her backpack: "It won't happen."
Chen Ge didn't pick up the woman's money, and asked with a little doubt: "Why do you have to go into the haunted house? This child looks only eight or nine years old. The environment in the haunted house is complex and special, and it is easy to cause psychological stimulation to children. "
The woman smiled wryly. She didn't answer Chen Ge's question. She turned around and rubbed the boy's fluffy hair: "Fan Yu, why don't we play other projects..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the boy slapped her hand aside. This child doesn't like being touched by others, even if it is completely well-intentioned.
No matter what the woman said, the boy just stood at the door of the haunted house and didn't leave.
"Fan Yu?" Chen Ge's focus had already been placed on this child, and it was the first time he had seen such an odd boy.
Crouching down, Chen Ge looked at the little boy: "Can you tell uncle why you want to play in the haunted house? It's dark inside, and there are scary things."
The boy's eyes were dodging, and he looked at Chen Ge's shadow from time to time without saying a word.
The woman may be afraid of Chen Ge's embarrassment, so she quickly stood in the middle and smoothed out: "Xiaoyu is different from other children and rarely communicates with people. I hope you don't mind."
"It's alright." Chen Ge found that the two people were standing at the entrance of the haunted house and wouldn't leave, and the sun was no option, so he softened his attitude: "Well, I won't charge you for the tickets, I'll accompany you later. Go in together, but only look around the outside of the arena."
"Thank you boss!"
"Sign the waiver agreement first. Adults and children must write it. After entering, don't touch the props at will, don't run, and follow me." Lifting the light-tight curtain, Chen Ge placed the two agreement sheets on the woman and the child. In the past, normally, as long as the guardian signed it, but in order to obtain the boy's information as much as possible, Chen Ge asked the child to also sign.
The two signed a waiver agreement, and Chen Ge led them into the ghost marriage scene.
"We were not married when we were born, and the deceased were buried in the same cave. This is ghost marriage."
Chen Ge told the background story roughly. The three stood at the gate of the courtyard with white lanterns. The woman was a little nervous, grabbing the straps of the backpack, and the boy lowered his head.
The withered tree swayed, the floor was covered with paper money, stepping on it rustling, Chen Ge took the lead and pushed open the door of the courtyard: "The interior scene is like this, just stand outside and look at it, we have strict rules, under the age of fourteen. Children cannot visit."
He had just finished speaking when the little boy who had been quiet behind him suddenly rushed into the courtyard, and the two adults did not respond.
"Fan Yu!" The woman and Chen Ge ran into the courtyard together and found the little boy parked beside the dry well in the middle of the courtyard. He reached into the well with his upper body and seemed to be looking for something.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The woman was busy apologizing to Chen Ge. She grabbed the boy's arm, but the boy who had been quiet and shy suddenly seemed to have changed his personality. Her skin was broken, and she looked like a frightened wild cat.
"This kid's mood swings are too big." The dry well in the middle of the courtyard is just a prop, and it is not very deep. Chen Ge is not worried about the accident, he is just curious why the boy cares so much about the well.
He stayed by the well for two or three minutes. Maybe he didn't see what he was looking for in the well. The boy let go of his hand reluctantly. He is different from ordinary children. To be precise, he is different from normal people. The more gloomy he is. , The weirder the environment, the more excited the child is.
"Since you've come in, let's take a look at you." Chen Ge's entire attention was on the child. He is also the shortest among his peers. He looks very delicate and has big eyes. , like a pure black gem.
"The ghost wedding scene is imitated from an ancient courtyard house, and the east and west wing rooms are usually for children and nephews." He pushed open the door of the east wing room, and without warning, a female ghost in a wedding dress emerged from behind the door.
The black and thin woman screamed in fright and stepped back.
"Don't be nervous, it's an actor." Chen Ge pressed Li Gui's head with one hand and whispered, "Xu Wan, you go out first."
"Your reaction is too cold..."
Xu Wan took the skirt of her wedding dress and stepped out of the door of the wing. No one noticed that the boy standing behind Chen Ge suddenly came up to Xu Wan and stared at Xu Wan with his head up.
"Huh? Boss, why did you put such a small child in?"
Xu Wan was just surprised, only Chen Ge noticed something was wrong among the few people present.
The wedding dress was as bright as blood, and Xu Wan put on special makeup again. She looked more like a dead person at this time.
In this case, the boy not only didn't feel scared, but also took the initiative to approach Xu Wan, looking up at her face.
"This child seems to like me very much?" Xu Wan smiled at Chen Ge, and didn't feel anything wrong.
It was not until Xu Wan left the ghost marriage scene that the boy looked back.
"I won't show you the other rooms one by one. The layout is almost the same. Can you go out now?" Chen Ge and the black and thin woman walked out, but the little boy stopped in the yard, looking around, as if looking for something .
"Fan Yu, go!" The boy turned a deaf ear to the woman's cry, and stood beside the dry well, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Is this child not afraid at all?" Chen Ge did not urge, but chatted with the woman: "Are you the mother of the child?"
"I'm his aunt." The woman said apologetically, "I'm making trouble for you, Xiaoyu is different from his peers. Since his parents had an accident a few years ago, he has become like this. A lot of doctors are useless."
"Mental illness? Can I ask about the parents of the child?" Chen Ge said carefully.
"Xiaoyu's parents are both teachers from Muyang Middle School. They both disappeared one after another, but they have not been found. At that time, Xiaoyu was only five years old. I didn't know how to explain it to the child. I could only deceive him and say that his parents to a faraway place called heaven."
"Muyang Middle School!" Chen Ge instantly tightened his nerves because of these four words.
"Have you heard of it? There are a lot of rumors about that school. I persuaded Xiaoyu's parents long ago, but they just wouldn't listen." Referring to the sad thing, the black and thin woman's eyes were a little red and swollen, and she stopped talking to Chen. Ge talked and walked to Xiaoyu's side: "Let's go home."
The boy was still stubbornly standing by the well, which made Chen Ge, who already felt abnormal, even more puzzled. He quietly walked over to the boy and tried to ask, "Why do you keep looking into the well, is there any monster living in the well? "
Fan Yu shook his head. He seemed to let go of his guard in the dark environment where the sunlight could not shine.
"Can you tell uncle why you've been standing by the well?"
The boy glanced behind Chen Ge, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'm looking for something."
"What are you looking for?" Chen Ge was a little curious.
The little boy looked at the dark dry well, stared blankly for a long time, and finally said two words: "Heaven."
