Hollywood Secret Garden

Although Halloween is a western ghost festival, it is actually not scary at all. Although most people dress up in strange shapes on this night, including zombies, demons, vampires and even aliens, it is mainly for fun and not for scaring.And the children were even more aggressive at night on this day, wearing strange masks and carrying jack-o-lanterns to play trick-or-treating games everywhere. They will yell outside the house, and then trample the decorative jack-o-lanterns outside the house.

Now Angela likes Halloween the most, she doesn't care about candy or change, but it's really interesting to hang out with her friends on the street and harass the residents everywhere, just like now—"No Trick or treat for candy!" The shout was accompanied by constant knocks on the door.

"Okay, here we come." The hostess' voice came from behind the door. Although she was mentally prepared when she opened the door, she was startled by Xiao Xiao, and four pumpkin heads floated outside the door!

The hostess calmed down, and quickly saw that they were actually four children, wrapped in a black cloak, not much different from most Halloween people, but with a big pumpkin head on their heads, so At first, if you are not paying attention, you will really think that there are pumpkin heads floating in the air.

"Change or candy!" The child in the front held a small jack-o-lantern and yelled, waving his fists. The voice was crisp and clear. It was a girl.

"Don't worry, my dear, we have them all." The hostess said with a smile, grabbed a handful of candies and a handful of coins that had been exchanged from the two small wooden barrels hanging behind the door, and stuffed them into the little girl's hands.

The group of children cheered and couldn't make faces, so they waved to the hostess and ran away quickly.

"Angie, where are we going now?" the second girl in the line with a pumpkin head asked the girl at the front. There were a lot of people who came out to parade on the street, so there were also a lot of children who came to ask for candy. The families on this street Almost all of them have been asked, although they will not reject other children, but Angela said that the first time is the most fun, so I always look for those who have not been patronized by children, or who do not seem to have been patronized by other children family.

"Go to Walls Street, there must be families who haven't been harassed." The little girl said confidently.

"But Angie, we stopped in the middle of Walls Street. If we ran back and forth, we wouldn't have enough time to go back." The third little girl with a pumpkin head was talking, and she and the fourth girl were two sisters. , who lives not far from Jessica, is also Angela's classmate, and everyone is playmates.

"Let me think about it," Angela patted the head covering her head, "Well, at the corner of the street, Ruth and Lily look west, and Jessie and I go east. If it’s too late to come back, we’ll distribute candy and coins tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

As she spoke, she took down the basket straddling her hand: "Now let's divide these up first, and I'm still the same as before."

As I said before, Angela is not interested in candy and coins, but she likes to collect various styles of candy - most families like to do it by themselves, and there are many creative works, so every year the little girl likes Try how many styles you can collect.

The other three girls were not polite, since they were already used to her way of doing things, they mixed the coins and candies in their respective baskets two or three times and divided them into three portions, and then handed two or three candies of various colors to Angela. The little girl wrapped her share in a paper bag and put it in the pocket of her clothes, then quickly ran to the street corner, said goodbye to each other and started to separate.

Sure enough, the parade crowd on Walls Street was smaller, but it was only a few. Angela and Jessica ran to several houses, but either the pumpkin decoration in front of the house was trampled, or there was a baby just now. Candy left, and along the way, everyone was very high, and people often ran over yelling and pretending to be scary. Although the two little guys would reciprocate, the speed of asking for candy obviously slowed down a lot.

"Angie, why do we have to go to those families who have not been asked for candy?" Jessica couldn't help asking during the break.

"You ask me this question every year, can't you figure it out yourself?" Behind the pair of triangular-shaped eye holes dug out of the pumpkin head, the little girl's eyes are sharply curved.

"Don't tell me what first time you want to pursue." Jessica rolled her eyes even though she knew the other party couldn't see it.

"What a fool, if we always go door to door, then we can walk a few streets." Angela knocked on Jessica's pumpkin head. Every Halloween, her parents allowed her to come to this block and Jessica spends it together, and there are not many opportunities to run and jump as much as you want like this.

"Don't call me an idiot!" Jessica protested, but now through the pumpkin head, her biggest killer weapon can't be used, and she can't threaten Angela.

However, even so, Jessica still has other ways: "By the way, Angie, did Mr. Savior write to you?"

"Jess! Xi!" Angela called out her name in a dangerous tone.

"What's the matter, I thought you left him the address because he thought he would write a passionate letter like that Canadian girl." Although Jessica's expression in Pumpkin Head was unclear, the teasing meaning was very obvious.

"Jess! Xi! Ka!" Angela's tone became more and more dangerous. If she knew that she would not have told her about the reception, when she left that day, facing Edward's plea, although she did not give him his phone number in the end, but Feeling soft, I still left my home address. However, Edward's Chinese level is really not flattering. The letter he wrote is full of wrong words and sentences, which makes people headache.

"But it's obvious that he likes you very much. So, Angie, do you like him too? I guess so." Jessica still said desperately, but no one could sense the taste in her tone.

"You have to pay for what you said!" Enraged Angela said viciously, reaching out to grab Jessica.

Jessica exclaimed and started to run away in a hurry. The two little guys ran around the street laughing and joking, and the "demons and ghosts" on the side of the road also made noises from time to time to add fuel to the flames.

Finally, after crossing a fire hydrant, Angela suddenly dodged and grabbed Jessica's cloak, but Jessica, who was unwilling to fall into the clutches, suddenly twisted her body and wanted to struggle away. Angela just couldn't keep her balance. Being surrounded by the cloak, he immediately fell to the side, and there were two screams at the same time.

Jessica was startled, and hurriedly turned to help Angela, but Angela had already jumped up and was about to help another little girl.It was a girl about 5 years old, wearing a little devil mask, fell to the ground, and the basket in her hand was also thrown on the ground, and candy coins were scattered all over the floor.

"Bastard! You pay me!" The little girl who fell on the ground saw that all her things were scattered on the ground, and her knee hurt just now, she couldn't help crying.

Angela and Jessica, who knew they were wrong, hurriedly removed the pumpkin head that had been tilted during the chase, stepped forward to help her up and apologized, and comforted: "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The little girl was crying and staring at the two of them ferociously, as if she wanted to rush to bite them, which made Angela very angry and funny, sighed and then raised her basket and said: "Okay, how about this?" , How about giving you half of my share as compensation?"

"Who wants yours!" The little girl took off her little devil mask and said in an immature voice with a ferocious look. She glanced at Angela's basically empty basket and hummed sobbing: " I have more than you!"

"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Angela and Jessica looked at each other helplessly and said.

But the little girl suddenly stopped sobbing, but stared straight at Angela with her eyes open. Angela touched her face strangely, wondering: what is she looking at?This little girl has red hair and a round face with two lines of tear stains on it. Her facial features are very delicate, but the street lights are so blurred that she can't see it very clearly, but why do you think it looks familiar?The two just looked at each other until Jessica shook her hand between them: "Can you not be in a daze?"

Both girls woke up like a dream, moved their heads away in embarrassment, adjusted their emotions and then turned their heads. Angela coughed dryly: "OK, how do you want me to compensate you?"

The other party sniffed, rolled his eyes, looked at Angela with excitement, reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, then curled his lips to one side and said, "Did you see there?"

Angela looked towards the place she mentioned. There was an open space between the two houses over there, surrounded by a lot of people. One could tell they were playing apple biting. This is one of the traditional Halloween programs. Put a few apples in the basin, let them float on the water, and let others bite the apples without using their hands-don't think it's easy, the apples that are selected to be placed in the basin are all washed. A particularly smooth top-quality variety, which can't be bitten without any skill.

Angela quickly understood what the other party was thinking, and she would definitely not be afraid, so she immediately raised her eyebrows: "Okay, the rules."

"Five apples, whoever bites out the most wins, and the winner has the right to take all the candy and coins that the loser wants before going to bed tonight!" the girl hummed, with a flash of kindness in her eyes Age-inappropriate cunning.

"No problem!" Angela replied without thinking.
