In mid-June, the summer solstice is approaching, and the evening in Guizhou City is still a little wet and cold, and the dense clouds seem to silently indicate something.

At this time, the showers had just stopped, and the air still smelled of earthy fragrance. The rain dripped on the eaves, and the coolness penetrated through the fabric to reach the skin, causing chills. The children didn't seem to feel it. Wearing short sleeves and pulling the corners of their clothes, they stepped on the stagnant water on the ground and played with eagles and chickens in the courtyard of the community.

"Are you still playing when it's raining?" Grandma Wang just came back from the supermarket, still carrying a bag of snacks for her grandson in her hand, "Look at your mud marks all over your body, you will be beaten when you get home later." ."

The children were playing hard, giggling and pretending not to hear. Granny Wang tore off the white plastic bag covering her head, shook off the rain a few times, folded it and stuffed it into the bag, and walked to the building where her house was located.

Passing through the garden, the old people who usually play chess around the stone table, couples with babies, young people who walk their dogs, and children showing off their skateboarding skills are not there. peaceful.

Grandma Wang is a noisy person, she likes excitement and dislikes tranquility, but this tranquility still allows her to hear voices that she shouldn't have heard.

The sound of �������� came from a corner of the garden, like someone talking, or like a mouse stealing food. The distance was too far, Grandma Wang couldn't hear it very clearly, so she got closer.

On the other side of the bush half a person's height away from her, someone urged in a low voice but eagerly: "Eat it! Why don't you eat it? Eat it! Eat it quickly!"

Grandma Wang leaned halfway over the bushes, and saw a little girl squatting on the ground, who was soaking wet, and she didn't know what she was doing.

"What are you doing here?"

The sound of her coming was not loud, but it wasn't too small. The little girl didn't know if she was too focused and didn't notice. She was quite frightened by her question, and she yelled, "Ah!" He sat on the ground with his buttocks, causing water to splash in all directions.

This community is not big, not to mention the people, it's the parents who are short, the older generation knows it very well. With just one glance, Granny Wang recognized that she was the neighbor's daughter who lived across from her house. Her name was You Miao. The elders don't know how to say hello, but the old people don't care about children.

You Miao seemed dumbfounded by fright, "Wang...Grandma Wang?"

"Why are you so timid?" Granny Wang stretched out her hand and pulled her up, "Did you get into trouble with Dabao? Why are you playing here alone?"

Before You Miao came back to her senses, Granny Wang asked again, and she hurriedly wiped her dirty hands on her wet clothes, and replied, "No, no, we are playing hide-and-seek."

"Hide and seek?" Grandma Wang asked strangely, "Isn't it an eagle catching a chicken?"

"Ah?" You Miao was taken aback, "I...that..."

The right Miao hesitated, and Grandma Wang had a hunch that there was a ghost. She went around the bushes and looked around. Sure enough, a fat orange stray cat was running away along the flower bed. dirty.

You Miao's mother doesn't like kittens and thinks they are dirty. If she finds out that You Miao is teasing cats, she will definitely be beaten up.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law won't tell your mother." Granny Wang saw that her hair was still dripping, "I don't know how to hide from such a heavy rain, just find a bag to cover your head... go back and wash Take a hot bath, don't catch a cold."
