It was a dark night in the underworld.
The wind was blowing, and all kinds of ghosts were crawling in darkness, shaking their heads and jumping around.
Lilly and Cloud were lying on the window, looking at them in amazement.
Cloud, who had already fallen asleep, got up again and said, "It turns out that the underworld is so lively!"
This was the first time he had seen the "ghosts wailing and howling", and he quickly got up to take a look.
It was really good, life in the underworld was interesting, and there were many ways for entertainment - there were ghosts who picked off their heads and shook it, some of them also picked off other people’s heads and shook them.
The ancestor closed the window with a bang and said angrily, "Go back to sleep."
The uncle and niece were not satisfied, with regretful expressions on their faces.
The ancestor felt tired again. How could we create opportunities for others if we did not sleep?
It was really hard to get robbed.
When Cloud wasn't paying attention, the ancestor whispered, "No matter what happens later, don't say anything, okay?"
He wanted to wait for Cloud to be robbed, and then save him when he was at his most desperate.
It was like teaching a child. He would not listen no matter how many times he was told not to touch the boiling kettle, and would only learn about it after being scalded.
What he had to do was to control the temperature of the "boiling water" so that he would be "scalded" by just a little bit.
Then he knew that the underworld was not as easy as he thought. There were no laws after leaving Ghost Town, but he would be bored to spend all his life in Ghost Town.
Lilly blinked and asked curiously, "What will happen?"
Would someone come to pack up Uncle Cloud and sell him?
Or would someone come to dance with Uncle Cloud and rip off Uncle Cloud’s head?
The ancestor directly took Lilly away and said to Cloud, "Go to bed early, I will take you to see the world tomorrow. Lilly is also a little girl. She cannot live in the same room with her uncle, so I am taking her away… To the next door."
Cloud smiled sweetly and warmly, "Okay."
The ancestor left the room and murmured in his heart: He is so naive, I wonder if he will be scared to cry later.
After returning to the room, Lilly asked, "Will Uncle Cloud be okay?"
The ancestor took Lilly to another room.
The layers of rooms made Lilly dizzy. When she stopped, she found that the room where she and her ancestors were now could clearly see Uncle Cloud's room and her original room.
Lilly asked in surprise, "Which room is this? We didn't even see this room when we were looking at it just now."
The ancestor sat down, made tea and drank tea calmly, and said slowly, "Just wait."
In the second half of the night, someone finally came in sneakily.
