Tonight was a magical night.

For the children in Little Red Horse Late Night Academy, they have never experienced such a scene. There are constantly men and women in various costumes passing by the walls, shouting at them, and making fun of them.

These children were both afraid and novel, afraid, but they were reluctant to leave. They were like small fish in a hot spring, scattered after being lifted up by people, but once there was no movement, they gathered around and sucked people's feet.

At dusk, Xiaobai stood under the paulownia tree and peeked at the people passing by, just like watching the little animals in the zoo. Xier and Cheng Cheng were both there, but soon they were scared and suddenly a group of ghost-like people ran over. They lay beside the wall and shouted at them through the iron fence. Cheng Cheng was scared to tears, while Xier hid behind Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was also shocked, but soon she took on the responsibility of protecting Cheng Cheng and Xier, protected the two of them and ran away, then loaded water on the small water gun she carried with her, and bravely fought with the people outside the wall.

When Zhang Tan came, Xiaobai carried a small water gun and fought alone at the forefront.

Zhang Tan drove away the people outside the wall, and Teacher Liu also brought the children who were watching the fun back to the classroom. It was already dark, and it was Halloween again tonight, so children should not wander around.

"That fierce little girl, yes, it's you, come here!" Another young man came back outside the wall. He was wearing scarecrow's clothes, and no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a person.

But the little white who fell to the end still came over.

"Why live?" She pointed the little water gun at the scarecrow, and she had no less guarding.

"Today, you are a child, and you can eat candies." The scarecrow outside the wall did not scare her anymore, but took out a handful of candies of different colors from her pocket and reached in from the iron fence.

Xiaobai stared at the candy and looked at it. It looked real, but she wouldn't go to get it. Humph, who knows if it will be caught by a bad person? How dangerous it is.

"Come here and get it quickly. I really won't lie to you, I'll give you food." The scarecrow urged when he saw Xiaobai motionless.

"I don't believe you if you scare my little friend." Xiaobai said.

The scarecrow was stunned, smiled bitterly, and put the candy in the gap between the iron fence, retreated, and said, "Then I'll put it on the ground, you can take it yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left, his companions shouting at him.

After just taking two steps, he stopped again, looked up at the signboard of Xiaohongma's late night school, and asked Xiaobai: "Is this a kindergarten? Why is it still open to business at night?"

"Hohohoho~~" Xiaobai laughed at him: "You are a melon."

scarecrow:"……"

"Then I'm really leaving, bye."

Seeing that he was really gone, Xiaobai waved his hand and was late and said, "Bay~~~"

The other party actually heard it, turned around, waved to Xiaobai, and reminded her not to forget the candy on the ground.

His companion, a pumpkin lady, asked curiously: "Why are you talking so much to that fierce little girl?"

The scarecrow said: "She is pretty cute."

"Cute? So fierce."

"Did you find out? This is a late-night academy and families are in a difficult situation."

Xiaobai watched the other party walk away until she disappeared, and she picked up the candy on the ground.

It turns out to be true!

She held the candy in her hands and ran to the classroom happily to share candy for her friends.

"Check the seats, eat fruit, you one, I one~~~~"

There were more than ten candies, Xiaobai’s own one, but it was still far from enough. There were more than 30 friends in the school.

But it doesn’t matter. Zhang Tan brought candy over, one for a child, so you can’t eat tooth decay if you eat too much.

"Boss Zhang, what kind of festival is today?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

“Halloween.”

"What kind of festival is that?"

"It's Ghost Festival."

Xiaobai was startled and asked, "What? Don't scare me~ Don't scare Cheng Chengti."

I was going to say not to scare her, but Xiaobai didn't want to admit that he was afraid, so he changed his words to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng was scared to tears today, and Xier was also full of tears. She was also scared, but she didn't cry out loud, retaining her last stubbornness.

Seeing Xier who had always been laughing, Zhang Tan cried and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'll tell you a story."

As soon as I heard a story, the children who were happily eating candy gathered together, and Teacher Xiaoliu and Teacher Xiaoman also watched it.

Zhang Tan didn't expect that he would say it casually, attracting the attention of so many children. It seems that it would be difficult to pass it over without giving it some force.

"Boss, please sit here."

Teacher Xiaoliu brought a chair to Zhang Tan, while Teacher Xiaoman asked the children to sit down.

Boss Zhang finished telling the story, and they planned to continue to tell the story tonight.

The TV was turned off, and the moonlight outside the house was like water, illuminating the yard. In late autumn, there were fewer insects, but there were still one or two people babbling in melancholy.

Zhang Tan originally wanted to tell a story about Halloween casually, but now so many children support me, even the teachers are here.

He has to be serious and not let the children look down upon him.

"Today is Halloween, Halloween is also the Ghost Festival. Legend has it that on this day, our deceased relatives will return to their favorite people and visit them."

After starting, the children are already in agitation. Can they still do this?

However, they all chose to believe that the children were always naive. As long as they said it was like the truth, they were willing to believe it, and only Jiang Bin, who was on the edge, listened with a rational look on his face.

Zhang Tan continued: "Xiao Guang's grandfather died of a sudden heart attack, and he was very sad. His mother comforted him and said that his grandfather had gone to heaven and turned into an angel. His father also said that his grandfather would turn into soil and slowly disappear. But Xiao Guang didn't believe it at all. His parents' words did not make him feel better. He resisted his grandfather's departure and could not accept this fact."

He said, the turbulent children gradually calmed down, with big eyes staring at him, full of innocence.

They really believe in everything told in the story.

"Xiao Guang missed his grandfather very much. After a few days, it was Halloween, and it was the same as tonight. The moonlight was bright and the temperature was a bit cold. There were many people on the street, wearing all kinds of strange clothes, shouting, and giving candy to the children."

"On this day, children will also wear strange clothes, carry small baskets, and go to the leader's home with their friends, parents, brothers and sisters, knock on their doors and ask them to eat some candy."

"That night, Xiaoguang, accompanied by his father, also ordered a lot of candies from his neighbor's house and also gave a lot of candies to other children who came to the house. Late at night, he returned home and was about to go to bed, but he found his grandfather sitting in the cabinet in his room!"

"Xiao Guang was surprised at first and asked, 'Grandpa, aren't you dead?' Then he suddenly realized, 'Oh, I get it, Grandpa has become a ghost.'"

"Grandpa said that today is Halloween, and all ghosts can return to their favorite people, spend this night, after this night, they will leave forever and never come back."

This story is called "Grandpa Becomes a Ghost". It is a picture book. Zhang Tan has read it and has some memory, but he has not remembered it all. But it doesn't matter. As he talks, he compiled it himself.

The children listened very seriously.

The story was soon finished, and the children were talking, chattering, and some asked loudly, would the deceased relatives really return to their side this evening?

Of course, Zhang Tan said yes, and Teachers Xiao Liu also answered questions.

This stimulated the children, and they chattered like watching a movie.

"I've left this here to you, so I'll coax the children to bed early." Zhang Tan said to Teacher Xiao Liu and Teacher Xiaoman beside him.

"You go and leave it here to us."

Zhang Tan left quietly, Teacher Xiao Liu began to tell stories to the children and invited children who were eager to perform to come up and sing and dance.

Xiaobai, who was usually very active, did not make any noise tonight. Even if Teacher Xiao Liu named her, she refused.

She seemed full of worries and looked depressed.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, the children were taken to the dormitory to prepare for rest.

Xiaobai fell to the end: "Teacher Xiaoman~Teacher Xiaoman~~~"

Teacher Xiaoman, who was greeting the children, looked in the voice and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaobai?"

"Come here, come here."

Xiaobai stood in the corner and waved to her.

Teacher Xiaoman stepped forward, but was pulled to a corner by Xiaobai.

Oh, this is a whisper to tell her. Teacher Xiaoman was quite happy. It was the first time Xiaobai wanted to say such private words to her.

This child is not like other children. He never talks with them. He may talk to Boss Zhang, but it is not them.

"What's wrong with Xiaobai? There is no one here, tell me, the teacher will keep it confidential for you." Teacher Xiaoman squatted down and promised first, so that Xiaobai could let go of his guard.

Xiaobai stared at her, thought for a while, and then asked, "Damn, will grandpa really come to find children when he becomes a ghost?"

Her big eyes were full of hope and trepidation.

Teacher Xiaoman was stunned. This was the story told by Boss Zhang. Xiaobai asked why this was done.

She thought for a while and said, “The people we love and those who love us will always be by our side.”

The lights on the first floor went out, only a few were still on, and the light in the corner was not very good, and only a floor lamp emitting light was on.

This made Teacher Xiaoman see Xiaobai's eyes lit up a lot, and the child asked again: "Where is Mom?"

Her voice became much smaller and her eyes became brighter.

Teacher Xiaoman felt that this gaze was about to see her heart. She didn't even dare to look directly. She couldn't help but lower her head, and said, "Mom will come to find their babies."

She probably guessed Xiaobai's intention, and her heart seemed to be moved, a little sore, and the direct consequence was that her eyes were also sore.

"Is it true?"
