Chapter 353 353: Neighbor’s House

Author: Ao Qingming

When heavy rains in summer first fall, the air is still hot and dry, and the moisture from the rain makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

Bai Cha had to move her chair inside because the cold air was gradually rising, and she still had to be careful not to get sick.

She took out the biscuits from her bag, and while eating them, she took out the paintings.

The paintings are still heavy. One of them couldn't be held, and one fell off.

It's the woman's back in the rain.

Bai Cha bent down to pick it up.

But just when she bent down to touch the painting, she saw the projection of the ground at the door in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

There is no light source in the house and it is darker than outside, so if someone stands at the door, their shadow will be cast into the house.

Even though the shadow was very faint, you could still tell that it was a woman.

Bai Cha slowly picked up the painting and looked at the door casually.

Empty.

Oh, can reality be haunted?

Speaking of which, she also met him back then.

That would be amazing. If there are ghosts wandering around in reality, what is a game?

Collect all the ghosts and prevent them from coming out to cause harm to the world? At the same time, it also allows players to experience various dungeons?

Or, just like the idea she once had, maybe the so-called reality is just a copy?

Bai Cha stared at the door in a daze. After a long while, she ate another biscuit.

O○O matcha flavor, I bought it casually, it’s okay, but it’s a bit tasteless, I want to drink water.

She did fill a cup of hot water, after all, her menstrual period was not over yet.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the cup, and when his eyes shifted, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the shadow seemed to be a little longer.

Bai Cha picked up the water cup and looked out the door while drinking.

Still nothing.

She was thoughtful.

Does it have anything to do with painting?

She just stared outside in a daze and did nothing else.

Time passed very slowly, and the rain outside slowly stopped.

After the rain, it cleared up and the sun came out.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was still hot.

The hot sunlight shines on the ground, evaporating the water vapor that has just fallen.

Bai Cha felt hot again and a little sleepy. She should have taken a nap at noon, so she yawned.

When he opened his eyes, Leng Buding saw a figure flashing in front of him.

It just seemed to flash and then disappear.

She pondered for a moment, packed up the paintings in her hands, picked up her bag, and decided to go home first.

As for what that weird thing is... maybe you can consider asking the game?

In this case, couldn't the game provide some props?

Bai Cha went out and locked the door again.

The neighbor suddenly showed up.

"Hey, no one has lived in Ji's house for so many years, why did someone come suddenly?"

The speaker was a middle-aged woman, slightly fat, with dark skin and a look of surprise on her face.

"Are you the daughter of the Ji family? Your nose and mouth look so much like your mother's. I remember seeing you when you were a child. Do you still have an impression of me?"

The other party came over enthusiastically and looked at the white tea up and down, smacking his tongue.

"The little girl was pretty when she was a child. Now she has grown even more beautiful. How old are you? I remember that you seem to be three or four years younger than my child. You are about 20, right? Are you still in school?"

Bai Cha showed a sweet and polite smile.

"Yes, hello, aunt, I am Bai Cha. I'm coming to my mother's place to take a look."

"Oh, I remembered your name as soon as you said it. I only remembered your name before, and it was the same name as that very expensive tea! I just can't remember it."

"Why do you suddenly come to see your mother? I haven't seen you come back for so many years..."

Bai Cha continued to smile and said: "I'm not in good health, and I'm mainly focusing on my studies. I just graduated, so I'll come back and take a look. I might tidy up this place later."

"Oh! It's time to clean it up. I see there are a lot of weeds in your yard, but someone from your family comes to clean it up every year, so there's nothing wrong with the house."

"Hey, you have graduated. Are you from high school or college? Are you twenty? Or ten?"

"I graduated from college. By the way, aunt, can I ask you a question?"

Bai Cha decided to take the initiative, otherwise there would be no end if he allowed the other party to continue talking.

As expected, the other party nodded and said, "Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask!"

"That's right. Actually, I don't know much about my mother. Can you tell me about my mother?"

Gossip and other things should be used in the right place.

Sure enough, this question suddenly aroused the aunt's interest.

"I've already said this when you mentioned it. Although I married here, my sister-in-law grew up with your mother when she was a child. Come on, come on, come and sit at my house first. I'll tell you slowly,

It’s too sunny outside!”

As she spoke, she complained and led the way.

"Oh, look at what day it was. It was raining heavily just now. I thought it was going to be cooler at last, but then I turned around and it was like this again!"

Bai Cha always maintained a well-behaved look, nodding in agreement from time to time.

The structure of the other party's house is no different from my own. All the old houses nearby should be like this.

When I arrived at the living room, I found an old lady sitting in the living room. The old lady was wearing a rather deathly pink floral shirt and was fanning herself.

Because there is no air conditioning or fan in the house.

At this moment, the temperature outside is still hot, and even those who are not afraid of heat like white tea can feel a layer of sweat on their bodies.

The old lady was sweating profusely and had to carry her clothes from time to time.

"Whose daughter is this?" The old lady was stunned when she saw Bai Cha.

The aunt next to her immediately became excited and said, "This is the girl from the Ji family next door. She hasn't been back for many years."

"Oh..." The old lady suddenly understood, and then looked up and down at the white tea.

"You and your mother look really alike. I'm deeply impressed by your mother. She's so beautiful. When your mother was little, I wanted to adopt her as my goddaughter. Unfortunately, our family doesn't like to adopt her as a goddaughter...

Come and sit."

After a pause, the old lady said: "Turn on the fan, it's a little hot. Logically speaking, it just rained, so why is it so hot? But when guests come, don't save the electricity bill."

The aunt nodded and rolled her eyes as she turned around.

Who is trying to save electricity bills by not allowing fans and air conditioners to be turned on at home?

She dragged the white tea in, hoping to find an excuse to turn on a fan.

Who can stand this hot day?

Bai Cha took the initiative and said, "Then you should be familiar with my mother's house. We are all neighbors. Can you tell me about my mother?"

The old lady looked at her thoughtfully.

"I remember your mother disappeared with...right?"

The old lady obviously wanted to know if her mother had run away with someone else, but she swallowed it again.

But from here it is not difficult to see what kind of rumors there were after my mother disappeared.

Bai Cha pursed her lips, with a look of pity on her face.
