Chapter 7: What Was the Glory of the Past

After taking a shower, Gu Cheng wiped his hair and looked around, but he didn't see Xia Xiaoman.

"I'm just kidding, don't really scare him."

Without a response, Gu Cheng took out the book from the bookshelf and sat at the table to read it, but he always remembered that when Xia Xiaoman was alive, Wenwen's quiet temperament always read the book in his spare time, and spoke in a quiet voice. He did not hurry or slow down, just like him.

At 10:30 in the evening, when it was time to go to bed, Gu Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the ashes in the incense burner, lit another one, then turned off the light, and went back to lie down in the room.

The bustling lights of the city cannot shine into this old street. When the lights are turned off, it will turn dark. There is a faint barking of dogs in the distance. He closed his eyes and lay motionless on the bed, as if he was asleep.

If you pretend to be a human being for a long time, you will also get involved in human habits and even look more like humans than humans. At least among the few young people he knows, few people will go to bed before twelve o'clock.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a slight noise came from outside the window, as if a moth hit the glass, dong, dong.

After a few sounds, Gu Cheng finally opened his eyes and looked over. Xia Xiaoman lay on the window, his face pressed against the glass, and his forehead slammed.

"Are you sick?" Gu Cheng spoke in the darkness.

"This is how you sleep with ghosts." Xia Xiaoman was like hanging outside, and she vomited her tongue and rolled her eyes, which was particularly terrifying in the dark.

Gu Cheng sat up from the bed and stared at her without saying a word. Xia Xiaoman gradually felt guilty and fell down and did not come up again.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, she came out again. She found a torn comb from somewhere and sat on the head of the bed to comb her hair with her back to Gu Cheng.

"Do you still want to sleep?" Xia Xiaoman didn't realize it at all. Seeing Gu Cheng not talking in the dark, he chatted with him on his own.

"Or try not to sleep for ten days and half a month to see if you will die. You should have been tired of living for so long."

Gu Cheng couldn't help but sigh and raised his hand to turn on the light. As a result, Xia Xiaoman disappeared with a whimper. This was beyond his expectations and he couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, Xia Xiaoman came out again and said embarrassedly: "This is how it is performed on TV, and the ghost on the light will disappear."

“…”

Gu Cheng stood up with a blank expression on his face, went out to get the book and started reading.

Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep.

Xia Xiaoman combed his hair for a while, and was very bored when he saw that he had no reaction, so he had to put away the comb and walk around the room for a few times.

"Don't scare Lao Chen." Gu Cheng didn't look back, but seemed to know what she was going to do.

Xia Xiaoman had to withdraw his feet, run to the opposite side and sit down, lying on the table and watching him read a book.

"Forget it, you go to bed and stop playing!"

The girl got into the TV and disappeared.

Gu Cheng read the book for a while and saw that Xia Xiaoman had really left. He put down the book and turned off the lights, opened the bedroom door. Before he could enter, he saw Xia Xiaoman hanging in the middle of the house. His slender body floated gently and gradually turned to his front face.

"I lied to you." Xia Xiaoman laughed.

Gu Cheng turned around and went to the living room to find a broom, and carried it back to the room. It was empty inside. The guy was really gone.

No words all night.

When he got up the next day, Gu Cheng went into the bathroom to squeeze toothpaste. When he was about to turn on the faucet, he stopped for a moment.

He decided that if the blood was shed, he would release Xia Xiaoman tonight.

It is normal for water to pour out from the faucet.

For some reason, Gu Cheng felt a little regretful.

After washing up, packing his bags and going out, Chen Hua lay on the wall, looking listless, looking at him with dark circles.

"Have you saved Qing'er?" the vampire asked him.

"If you are told to learn something, if you don't learn it, you won't be afraid if you can see them."

"No learning!" Chen Hua was terrifying to think about it. If he followed Gu Cheng to learn and walked the streets with that thing, he might have rolled back to the heavy snow in his hometown in Siberia without delaying for a moment, and said goodbye to his dear little hot pot and TV air conditioner.

"Actually, as long as you see them, you will find that it is really not scary."

Gu Cheng felt that Chen Hua had thrown away all the face of the blood clan, and the ancestors of the blood clan were so angry that they would not recognize him if they came back to life.

"Have you been saved? Mom, I always felt gloomy last night. I always felt that there were people everywhere in the house, under the bed, behind the curtains, and even in the mirror in the wardrobe..."

"Shame."

Gu Cheng pushed out the electric car on his own and went out, ignoring the coward.

"Don't vampires all come out at night? Why is Uncle Chen different?"

Xia Xiaoman didn't know when he would appear in the back seat.

"He proved that habits can be developed. After living in human society for so many years, he has corrected the habit of hiding day and coming out at night, but he doesn't like to bask in the sun. What's amazing is that humans have gradually become inverted day and night." Gu Cheng said.

"Then why is he a Han man?"

"No, he is an Inuit. I picked him up in Siberia near the Arctic. I took him back when he looked like a Han man."

"I can't see it."

Xia Xiaoman was amazed. Chen Hua was a standard farmer at the beginning. He put his sleeves on his back and squatted at the base of the wall. He spoke with a mouthful of big mouth and a very positive accent.

This blood clan is considered useless.

"He doesn't want to regain his past glory? Could it be that you didn't let him suck blood? Let's keep it next to him and watch him." Xia Xiaoman always felt that the blood clan shouldn't be like this.

"Previous? Glory?"

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking about these two words, and he could not contact Chen Hua. "If the glory of the past refers to the fact that he had secretly caught a sheep and drank a sip of blood in the past, and was chased by someone with a feces for half a month, and finally planted potatoes in a cold and frozen place in Siberia, I think he probably didn't want to be liberated."

“…”

Xia Xiaoman was imagining Chen Hua's appearance of growing potatoes without any sense of incongruity.

"Now, when you lie in the security booth, you can still watch small videos. When you go home, buy something to cook hot pot, you can have enough duck blood, etc., there are air conditioners and TVs, and you can also scold people online. Whoever asks him to go back will be anxious."

"It's corroded by the peaceful life!" Xia Xiaoman felt heartbroken. No wonder they wanted to pretend to be an adult.

“This is called enjoying life.”

"Are there any gods in the world?"

"I have never seen a god."

"Is there any other monster?"

"There should be a few more. I don't know if they are still alive. I have searched for them for a long time before, and only a few are left."

Gu Cheng was not sure, either, that the monster had a long lifespan, not immortal.

Xia Xiaoman guessed that this guy must have been a teacher all the time. He must have had time to be bored before, and he could tell from the vampires he brought back.

Maybe he traveled all over the world to look for similar people, but he couldn't find them. When he passed by Siberia, he brought back the two blood tribes who were about to be burned to death.

The traffic lights in front were not far away, and traffic was surging on the road, so Gu Cheng kept silent.

Xia Xiaoman quietly stretched out his hand in the back seat.

"Xia Xiaoman, you are a ghost now!"

The girl cheered herself up in her heart.
