Chapter 185 The Little Stone Waiting for a Hundred Years
The ghost was caught by Zhang Zhao and instinctively struggled to escape.

But the next second, he realized that he couldn't escape at all.

Moreover, he discovered that the person in front of him was not a human at all, but a ghost just like him.

However, the aura was even stronger than his, and he had no way to resist it.

From the moment he entered the room, he entered its domain; there was no escape for him.

"I didn't mean to harm you, I had no bad intentions, I just thought you looked familiar."

"I think you're just like my senior brother, Xi Tang."

The little devil struggled to speak, and his two sentences stunned Zhang Zhao. Then he began to examine the little devil he had captured.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, as if some long-forgotten, long-sealed memory had been suddenly unlocked.

He remembered.

"You are... Little Stone?"

The little devil was stunned. Little Stone, that was his name. But how long had it been? How long had it been since anyone had called him by that name?

Little Ghost, also known as Little Stone, was actually only about 12 years old at the time. He turned around and stared at Zhang Zhao.

The answer in my heart is about to emerge.

"You're Senior Brother Xi Tang, right? Yes, I'm Little Stone."

Zhang Zhao gently put him down, patted his head, and said with nostalgia in his eyes, "Yes, Little Stone, I am your senior brother Xi Tang."

"Wah!" Little Stone couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. He hugged Zhang Zhao's waist and buried his face in his chest, sobbing loudly.

"Senior Brother, I knew it was you. I knew it was you when you were performing during the day."

"Senior Brother, we are all dead."

"But you've all left, leaving Little Stone all alone here."

"I feel so lonely and scared."

"It's been so many years, and I'm all alone. Master isn't here, Senior Brother isn't here, Senior Sister isn't here, everyone is gone, and only Little Stone is left, boohoo..."

"Senior Brother, please don't abandon Little Stone anymore, okay? Little Stone only has you left."

……

The child's cries brought tears to Zhang Zhao's eyes as well.

He stroked Little Stone's head, comforting him, "Don't worry, your senior brother is here, and I will never leave you all alone again."

Unlike him, who was sent to the opera troupe by his parents, Little Stone was abandoned at the entrance of the opera troupe.

That year, it was still winter. If he hadn't gotten up early to fetch water and open the opera troupe's door, Little Stone, who was still an infant at the time, might have frozen to death if it had been any later.

He picked up the small stone.

However, the troupe leader at the time did not want Xiao Shitou to stay.

At that time, the opera troupe was not in a good situation. It was impossible to make money. At most, each person could barely make a living. Where would they find the extra money to support others?

Especially since it was just a baby.

Moreover, their opera troupe is constantly on the road, and it's inconvenient to have a baby with them.

"If you want to raise them, then raise them yourself," the troupe leader said in the end.

In the end, Zhang Zhao decided to keep the child. He knew that if he didn't take the child in and let him go, the child would only face death.

Later, he gave the child the nickname Little Stone, because people say that humble names are easier to raise, and he hoped that the child would be well.

As Little Stone grew up, he learned about what happened back then from his fellow students.

Therefore, he was the most protective and respectful of Zhang Zhao, the senior brother who found him and raised him.

In Xiao Shitou's heart, he even regarded Zhang Zhao as a father.

Zhang Zhao held the small stone and shed tears of blood.

In fact, he also treated Little Stone like a son. He knew that in that kind of world, it was already very difficult for a person to live.

Therefore, he had no plans to marry and have children, not wanting his children to suffer the hardships he had endured.

So when he found the little stone, he felt as if it were fate, that God had sent this child to him.

He considered Little Stone as family. He just never imagined they would be killed in the explosion.

Perhaps because the memory of being blown up was too painful, Zhang Zhao instinctively forgot about that period of time after his death.

They even forgot about the small stones.

Fortunately, he returned to Zhuangmengyuan and met Little Stone.

"Little Stone, why haven't you been reincarnated yet?"

In the underworld, he saw the other dead members of the opera troupe, but they had all been reincarnated.

Why is the little stone still here?

"I... I don't know either. I woke up here and I've been unable to get out."

“There was a voice inside me telling me to keep waiting here.”

"Senior Brother, I feel like this voice is telling me to wait for you."

"Look, I've been waiting for you."

Little Stone's words, however, made Zhang Zhao feel uneasy.

Yes, Little Stone waited for him, but that wait lasted for a hundred years.

He could hardly believe how Little Stone had managed to spend the entire century all alone in the vast Zhuangmeng Garden.

"Little Stone, tell me about your life these past few years."

……

Little Stone recounted his years at Zhuangmengyuan.

I woke up here, and everything was empty.

In recent years, occasionally some people have come, seemingly wanting to live here.

But they were all scared away by the small stones.

Little Stone didn't want these people to come. He always felt that if these people moved in, Zhuang Mengyuan would one day disappear.

If even Zhuang Mengyuan is gone, where can he wait for someone, for his senior brother?

"Senior Brother, I didn't do anything really bad. I just went to scare them. I didn't hurt anyone."

At most, I'll scare them during the day and then scare them in their dreams at night.

For example, a while ago, when Feng Chengfeng brought people to film, Xiao Shitou was just scared.

To get them to leave quickly, he made those who filmed during the day have nightmares at night.

Originally, Feng Chengfeng and his team had stopped working because of his "harassment".

Little Stone felt they should leave soon.

Unexpectedly, someone came again during the day today.

He hadn't even arrived yet when he heard the opera troupe starting their performance.

Little Stone only dared to hide behind the tree, watching Zhang Zhao singing "Farewell My Concubine" on stage from afar.

That familiar singing voice, that posture—almost instantly, Xiao Shitou felt that this person was the senior brother he had been longing for.

Can……

He knew he was dead, killed in an explosion, and that his senior brother must have been killed in the same explosion that day.

So what's going on with the senior brother he's seeing now?

Is he the reincarnation of the eldest brother, or something else, or just someone who resembles the eldest brother?

The little stone was unsure.

So they decided to wait until evening to investigate.

Unexpectedly, I was caught as soon as I entered.

However, Little Stone was happy at this moment.

Because he had finally waited for his senior brother.

His wife was happy.
