As the lights came on, Ye Manshan walked alone on the bustling and crowded streets, looking particularly out of place with the world. She was wearing long hair like ink and her larger school uniform covered her thin body, making her look loose. People came and went around, and no one looked at this thin little girl more.

Her miserable little face and big eyes showed a little guilty feeling. These damn girls were so scared that she didn't dare to go home, and could only wander around in crowded places. There was a long alley at the door of her house, with lush small trees on both sides, either willows or locust trees. As soon as the night came, under the dim street lights, they all opened their teeth and claws, revealing mottled light and shadow. The daylight in autumn was short, but she was not very brave, and she rushed home early every day. But today, her friend's birthday, and several people forgot everything when they got crazy. It was not until they told ghost stories that she finally remembered it.

You are so stupid! You are so brave, you still have to show off! You have finished listening to the ghost story! You are so scared that you dare not go home! You deserve it!

She returned to the entrance of the alley and stared at the seemingly bottomless alley and sighed deeply.

She knew that, so she asked Yaoyao to come back with her. That wouldn't have been wandering on the street for nearly an hour. She kicked the small stone beside her feet, gritted her teeth hard, grabbed her schoolbag and rushed into the depths of the alley.

In the shadow of the street, a boy walked out slowly. He chewed chewing gum and watched Ye Manshan's running back until she disappeared at the door of her own yard. He grabbed his schoolbag and swung it on his shoulders, and disappeared in the shadow again. All that was left was a pool of blood on the ground at the entrance of the alley. His left hand, which was inserted into his pocket, was trembling slightly. Drops of bright red blood hit the ground along his trouser feet. Following the teenager's footsteps, he drew a long bloodline.

That year, he was twelve and she was seven years old.

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao!" Ye Manshan shook Lu Yao's arm, looking expectant, "I agreed that I must accompany me home today."

"I know, I know, I really can't stand you!" Lu Yao's expression of disgust was a hint of doting in her eyes. "I'm twenty years old, and I'm still so timid. I've told a few ghost stories!"

"..." Ye Manshan looked at Lu Yao with a grievance and said nothing.

"Okay OK! Come with me to buy a few clothes and take you home later! That's all!" Lu Yao stretched out her finger and gently tapped Ye Manshan's forehead, "Why can't the dead girl grow up!"

"Hehe!" The twenty-year-old Ye Manshan is still very timid. Although she has become a big girl, "You are the best, Yaoyao!"

"Don't give me a ecstasy soup. I don't want to eat this set. It's the same as before, and I'll have a meal at the school cafeteria. Please pay in advance."

"No, I'll send me home and pay tomorrow!" Ye Manshan pouted with a firm look on her face.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, I'm not afraid of you running away anyway!" Lu Yao reached out and grabbed Ye Manshan's little face, rubbed it hard, and then she let go of her hand with satisfaction.

Night comes slowly.

Ye Manshan grabbed the corner of Lu Yao's clothes tightly and walked slowly behind her.

"I said Shanshan, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?" Lu Yao's high heels collided with the ground, making a rhythmic 'dal' sound.

"No, I don't know." Ye Manshan felt bad when she heard Lu Yao talk about this topic again.

"I think there is!" Lu Yao nodded affirmatively, "There are too many things in this world that cannot be explained by science. Besides, if there are no ghosts in the world, how can there be so many idle people who have something to do or make up ghost stories? It's scary!"

Ye Manshan suddenly shuddered. She looked straight at the bushes on the roadside. Just now she seemed to see her face flashing. Cold sweat instantly crawled over her back.

"Yao...Yaoyao, I just saw something!" Her voice trembled. Ye Manshan felt particularly timid for the first time. Her legs were trembling, and her legs were already weak and could no longer walk.

"Where?" Lu Yao smiled and grabbed Ye Manshan's hand, and was surprised to find that her palm was covered with cold sweat.

Ye Manshan reached out and pointed at the bushes tremblingly. When Lu Yao saw it, she was immediately happy.

"The bushes are only half a meter high, so what can you hide behind? You! You are so timid." She let go of Ye Manshan's little hand and walked towards the bushes as if she wanted to find out. Ye Manshan held her tightly and said nothing.

It was a pale face. Whether it was true or not, she didn't want Lu Yao to take risks. "Don't, don't go there!"

"What's wrong? Looks like you are so scared! I won't let go! Let's go together!" Lu Yao laughed and pulled Ye Manshan and wanted to move forward.

An unprecedented fear enveloped Ye Manshan. Before he knew it, the entire street was except for them.

It's empty!

"No...don't go over, please Yaoyao, don't go over! Don't go over!" She screamed hysterically.

"What's wrong with you? You're crazy!" Lu Yao looked at her with a look of surprise, and Ye Manshan shook her head desperately. A breeze blew, which made the summer night colder.

"This, there is no one on the way!"

"What a joke? There were still a lot of people just now..." Lu Yao said as she said nothing. She turned around and looked around. There was no one on the street. What a joke? It was only eight o'clock, and it was when people were roaming. "Where are people?"

No matter how nervous Lu Yao was, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. After all, she was also a girl, and at this time, she finally began to feel scared.

They were less than two meters away from the bushes. With the light of the mobile phone flashlight, Lu Yao saw something she would never want to see in her life. She rolled her eyes and fell to the ground softly. Ye Manshan hurriedly dragged her down and moved to the place far away from the bushes with all her strength. However, she herself had weak legs. She tried her best to move for only half a meter.

The bushes were rustling, and the things inside seemed to rush out at any time. Ye Manshan sat down on the ground weakly, hugging Lu Yao in her arms tightly, staring at the bushes' every move tremblingly.

"Hey? Do you need help?" The sudden voice scared Ye Manshan. She looked up in the moonlight and saw a man looking at her with concern. He even reached out to shake her in front of her.

Ye Manshan subconsciously screamed in disbelief. She hugged Lu Yao in her arms tightly, and her inner fear reached the extreme. She heard the gentle voice of the man and told her indifferently.

"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a ghost!"
