Chapter 1457 Small Flower Basket

Uncle Chen pinched the handle of the flower basket with his fingers and looked at it carefully.

The small flower basket is woven from bamboo strips.

Obviously it's been around for some time.

He turned the flower basket upside down and shook it, and a few broken stems and leaves fell off.

Maybe... there were flowers in this small basket originally.

But time has passed so long that the flowers have already withered and fallen.

……

"The child's father?"

The woman turned around and found that the man who had been following her was gone, and she couldn't help but scream.

"father!"

The child followed his mother's lead and clasped his hands together and screamed.

The birds in the forests were startled and flew out flapping their wings.

"Giggle~"

The child smiled happily.

……

"coming."

The man responded quickly.

He stuffed the small flower basket into his trouser pocket.

This small flower basket looks like it has been left here for a long time.

He looked fine.

Ask your daughter if she wants it later?
If you don't want it, just throw it away.

……

"But then I was distracted by other things and forgot about the little basket of flowers."

"It wasn't until I was driving back that I suddenly remembered this little flower basket..."

When they arrived at the service area to rest, the man reached into his trouser pocket, intending to take out the small flower basket to show his daughter.

But he searched not only his trouser pockets, but all the pockets on his body, but he couldn't find the small flower basket.

Did it get lost somewhere?
he wondered.

Just when he was about to think carefully, his wife interrupted him.

"Forget it, it's just something I picked up from the ground."

"If it's lost, it's lost."

"What else are you looking for?"

The child was not interested in the small flower basket. What she wanted more at that time was a delicious hot dog.

He couldn't help laughing at the child's greedy look.

Then she forgot about the small basket of flowers and went to buy a hot dog for the child.

……

"It's just such a small thing."

The middle-aged man emphasized again, "But I really didn't think about this at first."

After all, it's really a trivial matter.

It turns out that talking to someone about the situation at the time is much more effective than pondering it alone.

He actually remembered something else.

……

"Little flower basket..."

Xiao Xiao murmured in a low voice, "Grave ghost."

He looked past the middle-aged man and towards a stunned monster. "What are you looking for... a small flower basket?"

……

"……what?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide.

Small flower basket...

How can it be?

How could the thing the tomb ghost was willing to risk his life to find... be just a small flower basket he picked up from the ground?

No matter how you think about it, it should be... something more precious, right?
……

The tomb ghost opened his mouth.

Small flower basket...

This word was like a sharp arrow that tore through the confusion before its eyes.

The single eye suddenly opened wide, and slowly a look of realization appeared in it.

It remembered!
……

The change in the tomb ghost's expression said it all.

Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of joy appeared between his eyebrows. "It's a small flower basket, right?"

He was just thinking that the current situation was more troublesome than expected.

Unexpectedly, he finally determined the target faster than he expected.

well.

As long as you have a goal, you will have a direction.

The next thing is easy.

It’s just... finding that little basket of flowers.

……

The tomb ghost nodded.

He nodded again.

The aura around him was fluctuating, and he was obviously a little excited.

The memory gradually became clear in his mind, making his expression a little complicated. That little girl...I wonder if she is okay?
……

"We'll talk about the rest later."

Although Xiao Xiao was somewhat curious about the story behind the small flower basket, the most urgent task at this moment was to find the small flower basket.

Then send the grave ghost back to the cemetery.

"Uncle Chen."

Xiao Xiao looked at the surprised middle-aged man and said, "Let's go to your car and take a look."

……

"……what?"

The middle-aged man's reaction was a little slow.

He was still in disbelief that the tomb ghost was actually looking for such a small flower basket, and his mind was a little confused for a moment.

It took a while for Xiao Xiao's voice to enter his brain.

Then, he wondered again, "In my car?"

"why?"

……

"Just a possibility."

Xiao Xiao patiently explained, "You discovered that the small flower basket was missing on your way back."

"The small basket of flowers may have fallen on your car."

"You just didn't notice."

"Now, we can only hope that this is possible."

"otherwise……"

"If the small flower basket was lost before you drove off."

"That……"

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly. It was extremely difficult to find the small flower basket.

"That's trouble."

……

"oh oh."

The middle-aged man nodded in understanding.

He knocked his head.

He was confused too.

It's such a simple thing that I have to wait for others to explain it to me before I understand it.

During this period, due to lack of sufficient sleep, his brain was always groggy, and from time to time he would go dark and his brain would go blank.

He shook his head to clear his mind.

"Okay, Xiao, follow me."

The middle-aged man stood up.

……

The two children followed Xiao Xiao very consciously.

They were actually a little confused.

But this does not hinder their enthusiasm for this matter.

They were even more worried when they knew that if they couldn't find her things, her life might be in danger.

They also have to help aunt find things.

The two children made up their minds silently.

Then let aunt go home.

……

"Student Xiao."

On the way, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask his doubts, "That... thing the tomb ghost is looking for..."

"Is it really a small flower basket?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Just a small flower basket?"

The middle-aged man murmured.

If such a small flower basket is lost, it is lost. Why is it necessary to find it back?
As far as he could remember, there was nothing unusual about that small flower basket.

It is a handmade product that can be found everywhere.

Or was he just shortsighted and didn't see the specialness of that little flower basket?

……

"Ah, here we are."

The familiar car brought back the middle-aged man's confused thoughts.

"Crack~"

The middle-aged man suddenly slapped his forehead in annoyance and said, "Look at my brain."

"You didn't take the car keys?"

Xiao Xiao's quick reaction made the man stunned, and then he smiled bitterly, "Yes."

"I didn't expect to use the car keys when I came out."

Just now, when classmate Xiao said that he came to the car to find the small flower basket, his mind was full of the thought that what the tomb ghost wanted to find was just a small flower basket, and he didn't think about the issue of the car keys at all.

"Wait for me, I'm going home to get the car keys."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man left in a hurry.

……

The two children put their faces against the car window and looked inside with wide eyes.

His head turned this and that, changing the angle.
