There's a ghost inside me

"Hey? Is anyone?"

A tender voice penetrated the cold walls and resounded throughout this enclosed room.

Jiang Xiao's eyes showed great fear, and he couldn't help but retreat to the bed.

Bang-

The bed quilt shaking, making a sound.

The other party seemed to hear the sound and immediately became a little excited, "Sure enough, someone is inside, right?"

At this moment, Jiang Xiao's little hand was trembling unconsciously.

He suppressed the most primitive fear in his heart and replied with difficulty, "...Yes."

"Are you arrested by those bad guys too?"

"...Um."

"How old are you?"

“…Six years old.”

"How long have you been locked up?"

“…It’s been a day.”

“…”

Both sides asked and answered.

Jiang Xiao naturally would not be as excited as he had in his previous life, and regarded the other party as a sunshine that symbolizes hope.

At present, there is only a mystery of fear that cannot be dispersed in Jiang Xiao's heart.

The other party did not notice something wrong in Jiang Xiao's words. Instead, like Jiang Xiao in his previous life, he was extremely excited and regarded him as an existence with the same illness.

It is conceivable that two children were detained in two closed rooms by human traffickers.

In the long darkness, under the soaking of loneliness and fear...

Suddenly, I found that there was a similar person next door, and that kind of mood was hard to describe.

It's like a person who is about to drown, trying hard to grasp the board and regard it as an indispensable existence.

"What's your name?"

"...Jiang Xiao."

"Woooo...I'm so scared...I'm so dark here...I miss my mom..."

“…”

Jiang Xiao remained silent, and in his previous life, he was doing his best to soothe the other person's emotions.

Two children, across each other's cold walls, licked each other's wounds...

After a long time, the other party choked and said, "Jiang Xiao, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"For...why?"

“We’ll go out.”

"Really?"

"Um."

Jiang Xiao answered unswervingly.

The other party seemed to be infected, and his voice became cheerful for a moment, "Well! We can definitely go out!"

Time passes quietly.

The other party talked tirelessly to Jiang Xiao, while Jiang Xiao sat on the bed all the way, chatting without a word.

Suddenly.

A "gurgling" sound suddenly came from my stomach.

Jiang Xiao frowned.

Ji Wange's ability is really amazing. At this moment, he doesn't seem to be dreaming at all, and he has completely returned to the same situation as before.

Even the feeling of hunger coming from the belly is so real.

"Are you hungry? Speaking of which, it seems that those bad guys haven't come for the whole day."

The other party seemed to hear the sound from Jiang Xiao’s stomach.

Jiang Xiao was silent.

In fact, he only learned about it in his previous life after he was rescued by the police.

After arresting himself, the group of traffickers had a car accident that afternoon and died tragically on the spot.

As for the food for the next seven days...

"I have some food here, what they left behind before, do you want it?"

The other party suddenly asked.

Jiang Xiao didn't know if he should answer for a moment.

He was still thinking about his relationship with this room.

Crazy-

At this moment, the other party handed over some snacks through the ventilation duct that was sealed by the iron fence.

"Eat something. Otherwise, if you die, I... I... Woo..."

Before the other party finished speaking, he started crying again, as if he was extremely afraid that Jiang Xiao would disappear.

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and finally chose to pick up the food.

While eating food, the other party started talking.

"It's so boring. What grade are you in this year?"

"Kindergarten class."

"Are you a native of Yucheng?"

"...Um."

"So, so can we not speak Mandarin, okay? My father is a very strict person. He asks me to speak Mandarin any time, which is so annoying."

The other party kept talking to Jiang Xiao about various things.

It was not until both sides were a little tired that they gradually stopped.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Xiao looked at the ceiling, his eyes were dull.

Even though I knew I would be rescued in seven days, I was still depressed at this moment and couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning.

I don't know if it's late at night or the next day.

"Jiang Xiao, are you asleep?"

The companion at the other end of the wall suddenly asked.

"not yet."

As time goes by, Jiang Xiao gradually integrates into his identity at this moment.

The ability of the Nightmare ghost constantly affects his own thinking. Everything before it was like the ice cubes slowly melting in the sun."I can't sleep either, why don't we tell stories?"

"Tell a story? What story?"

"Uh... haven't you seen the Grimm fairy tale?"

"No, my father is a very strict person. He asks me to learn English and other things every day."

"Okay, I haven't seen it."

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Xiao looked a little confused, and always felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, the other party spoke, "Some time ago, Teacher Zhang told us a story, saying that there was an animal called Kunpeng in ancient times, both a fish and a bird."

"Then is it a fish or a bird?"

"Hey, who knows? In short, Teacher Zhang said that Kunpeng is very big and big. When it is Kun, it has a size of thousands of miles; when it turns into a Peng, it has a size of thousands of miles alone."

"How could there be such a thing in the world? It's bigger than a whale."

"How could it be impossible? Teacher Zhang also said that Kunpeng lives in Beiming."

"What's Beiming?"

Jiang Xiao asked in confusion.

The other party said, "In legend, Beiming is an ocean that cannot be projected by sunlight, at the northernmost end of the world."

In an instant.

Jiang Xiao looked stunned.

An indescribable feeling spread in his heart.

"Is the ocean that cannot be projected by the sunshine...?"

Jiang Xiao glanced at the dimly enclosed room around him, suddenly curled up and said to himself, "So, I am the Kunpeng who lives in the North Mid..."

At this moment, the ability of the Nightmare Ghost has completely lost Jiang Xiao in the fearful memories of the past.

.........

A full seven days.

Two little boys kept telling their imaginations about the future through the cold wall.

Relying on this illusory beauty, both are like walkers hiking in the desert, forcibly guarding their inner hopes and gritting their teeth and persevering.

Gradually...

Jiang Xiao had completely forgotten all of it and regarded the other party as his only companion.

Bang!

Seven days later, the iron gate was hit by a huge force from outside.

The golden sunlight shone in, shining on the face of the thin boy on the wooden bed.

Confused, confused, dull...

The latter was ignorant of the sudden rescue, not excited, but at a loss.

"Finally, I found you based on the cell phones of those beasts!"

A middle-aged policeman said gritting his teeth, then hugged Jiang Xiao in his arms with great distress and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will take you out of here immediately and go find your parents."

Only then did Jiang Xiao react.

I am saved!

"Friend...my friend..."

The next moment, Jiang Xiao was excited like a wild cat, struggling constantly, and his tone was rapid, "Uncle Police, there is a little boy next door who is locked up like me. Let's go and save him!"

However--

The middle-aged policeman was stunned and asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

"I won't tell you, I'm going to save him!"

Jiang Xiao was unwilling to waste time, so after struggling to escape, he ran out of the room with all his might.

Then...

Jiang Xiao was stunned.

Except for the room behind me, there is hard concrete on the left and right.

That room...

That little boy...

How did I spend these seven days?
