Chapter 10: Fifty Years Like Water
In fact, ghosts never used to be TV - because there was no TV before.
It won't turn on the lights and disappear, yes, because there were no lights before.
They don't have so many strange and scary methods, they are all taught.
How harmless and simple the souls of the past were.
Gu Cheng was taking a shower and was worried that Xia Xiaoman suddenly came out of the mirror and handed him shampoo. He was so bad at school from the movie.
It's all about the movie.
It's all weird.
The bathroom door opened, Gu Cheng's hair came out of the inside with wet hair. He looked at Xia Xiaoman who was hanging in the middle of the living room and stuck out his tongue, and turned back to his body with an incense stick.
He turned around and said, "I was just thinking, if you dare to come out while I was taking a shower, I will save you no matter what you say."
Xia Xiaoman came down from the roof and smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I was thinking just now that if I came out of the mirror and gave you a towel, you would definitely save me, so I didn't go in."
“…”
Gu Cheng began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to let her play in the world for a while.
Maybe pretending to be your grandson that day is the most correct choice.
He put a banana in front of the lit incense candle as a sacrifice. Xia Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he beated twice happily.
A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Cheng's mouth and then disappeared again.
After all, she is already dead, and being too naughty is nothing.
"You were not like this before when you were alive, and even if you were happy, it was very subtle."
"I used to pretend." Xia Xiaoman said.
OK.
Gu Cheng turned off the lights in the living room and was about to return to the bedroom.
"Can I watch TV?" Xia Xiaoman asked him.
"Look, the sound is lighter."
Gu Cheng turned on the TV, threw the remote control on the sofa and turned back to the house. Watching TV was better than sitting on the end of his bed and combing his hair in the middle of the night.
In the empty living room, the TV screen kept turning, looking very strange.
It took me a long time to use the search function to find a movie to watch.
Xia Xiaoman lay on the sofa, watching ghost movies attentively, with long hair scattered behind her.
Being a ghost is boring, but fortunately, I am not bored after finding Gu Cheng.
As long as she stays here, it feels very interesting. It is very similar to before. She doesn’t have to think about anything, just read and write. Now it’s even more so, she doesn’t even need to eat.
Although I still want to eat it.
The living room is simple, as poor as ever, Xia Xiaoman knew that Gu Cheng was not short of money - because he rarely spent money, it was easy to save, but he didn't spend much money, so it seemed like there was no difference whether he was short of money or not.
Anyway, it's a very simple life, just like in the 1960s. If it weren't for the large amount of money that Gu Cheng left when he left, she wouldn't have known that Gu Cheng was a rich family, wearing a clean old long gown all day long.
The night is getting deeper.
Gu Cheng frowned as he listened to the subtle TV sound in the living room. It sounded like a horror movie, and he had some bad premonition.
This premonition came true in the morning.
The bedroom door creaked open. Before Gu Cheng got up, he turned his head and looked over. Xia Xiaoman crawled in from the living room.
Headache……
Gu Cheng sat up from the bed, took the watch at the head of the bed to look at the time, and it was almost time to get up.
"Ouch!" Xia Xiaoman screamed in pain, and Gu Cheng stepped out by her hand.
"Can't you see such a big person?" she screamed in anger.
Gu Cheng seemed to have no intention of seeing it. After washing up, he went back to the bedroom. With a bang, Xia Xiaoman, who was following him, closed the door outside the door, changed his clothes and prepared to go to school.
"Look, before I came, you were like an old man. You came back from class every day, cooked a meal, read a while, and went to bed. You were almost gone. How colorful you are now, you should thank me."
Xia Xiaoman floated around, "With Nie Xiaoqian, Zhenzi, and Jia Yazi accompany you. If you are willing, Chu Renmei can also appear when taking a bath..."
"Old Chen, do you want to give you a Sadako?" Gu Cheng asked the blood clan next door while standing on the steps.
"Get out! Lao Gu, don't mess with those evil things." Chen Hua accelerated his pace and ran away.
"look."
Gu Cheng signaled to Xia Xiaoman.
"He is not smart," said Xia Xiaoman.
Gu Cheng thought about it and was speechless.
Looking up, it was a little dark. While picking up the charger of the electric car, he said to Xia Xiaoman: "Will it rain in a while?"
"How do I know, I'm just a ghost."
"Count it."
"oh."
Xia Xiaoman scratched his head and forgot about it.
"It will go down, noon, noon."
"Then I'll bring an umbrella."
Gu Cheng turned around and took an umbrella in the house, then rode his electric bike out.
As soon as I reached the intersection, a cold touch came from my face. A few drops of water fell down, and then the raindrops as big as beans began to crackle down.
Gu Cheng held up his umbrella and waited for the traffic lights. He looked back at Xia Xiaoman who was leaning on the back seat.
"It's been useless for a long time... I'm unfamiliar." Xia Xiaoman looked away awkwardly and refused to look at him.
"But the result is right! It will rain!" She forced herself to win over her respect.
At the intersection where people were coming and going, Gu Cheng held an umbrella and didn't say anything. The rain came very quickly, and he made a puff sound when he hit the umbrella.
Xia Xiaoman escaped at some point. He went to the school gate and looked around but didn't see it. He locked the car in the carport and went to the office, and there were only two people inside.
"Teacher Gu has been dripping?" Li Mingcheng arrived early, holding an enamel jar and was blowing air. His clothes were refreshing. When he saw Gu Cheng coming in with an umbrella, he greeted him.
"It's useless to bring an umbrella, it's a little too big." Gu Cheng was half wet, took off his coat and put it on the chair.
The umbrella is not very useful when it rains heavily. Only a raincoat can be used to protect it. Fortunately, the school is not too far away, otherwise you will have to go back to change your clothes if you are soaked.
Li Mingcheng said, how far away the teachers' home is, you will know when they come. He guessed that Gu Cheng was probably on the way when it rained, and it was true.
"Guess if Teacher Chen will come late?" the old man said to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng shook his clothes and laughed: "She should have been on the way, and it was raining all of a sudden, and her body must have been wet. Then she went home to change her clothes and then took a taxi."
"I feel so, too."
"Have the homework been approved?"
"I was free last night, so I've already done it."
The rain was getting faster outside the window. Listening to the noise of the rain hitting the glass, Gu Cheng found a few coins from his pocket and threw them on the table.
The biggest benefit of a person who lives for a long time is that he will have a little more... If he lives longer, it will be more than just a little more.
The rain stopped at noon.
Gu Cheng looked at the hexagram he shook and shook his head. Xia Xiaoman either did it on purpose or was not serious.
"Yeah, Teacher Gu, can you still do this?" Li Mingcheng was a little surprised.
"How can you understand when you play?" Gu Cheng said.
"Excellent, versatile..."
Just as he was talking, Chen Mengmeng came in with an umbrella, her body was clean.
"Huh? We thought you would be late." Li Mingcheng said.
"I felt it was going to rain before I left the house, so I took a taxi."
Chen Mengmeng laughed and looked at Gu Cheng's coat on the chair, and felt that he had the foresight.
"Teacher Gu, you can't do this." Li Mingcheng was also happy and pointed to Gu Cheng's pocket that had just put the coins in it.
Gu Cheng smiled and said nothing, got up, took a glass of water and came to the window, looking out the window.
It has no effect on the ghost. He just remembered the scene where Xia Xiaoman brought him an umbrella in the heavy rain.
The muddy dirt roads in the countryside are far less clean than the roads now. The silly girl has not grown up yet. She is deep and shallow in the mud pit. She falls and is covered in a mess, and she holds an umbrella high and handes it to him.
