Kid who is afraid of fire

Michael is an old smoker who has lived a life of 20 years without cigarettes, but recently he has become a very rare smoker.

Especially in his new home, it is a cigarette that does not smoke, of course, not because Michael quit smoking. Because all smokers know, to a smoker not to smoke, but also more difficult than letting them die.

But it is strange, since Michael moved to a new home, in the house, whether cooking with fire or smoking with fire, no matter what fire can not be lit.

Michael's new home is in the suburbs, but the price is much lower than other houses in the suburbs, it seems that the landlord is eager to sell, and that is why Michael has enough money to buy the house.

Strangely enough, once outside the house, everything goes back to normal. Michael's three-year-old son, Ethan, has been acting up since he moved into his new home.

Every day, he talks to himself, not knowing what he is muttering.

When mom and dad asked him, he said he had a brother playing with him, and at first, Michael and his wife didn't care much.

But one day, when Michael was about to smoke in the house, his son told him, "Dad, you can't smoke in the house anymore, your brother will get mad if you smoke in the house."

Michael looked around, he had only one son, and there were no guests in the house, so what did the son say about his brother?

He felt that his son was very abnormal, so he asked curiously, "Son, you tell dad, you said that the brother is there, okay?"

Ethan pointed to the empty air around him and said to Michael unhappily, "Dad, isn't the brother right here?"

Michael looked at the empty air around Ethan and remembered what the old generation had said: children can see things that adults cannot.

He felt his pores stand up.

Michael forgot to light his cigarette, swallowed, and asked nervously, "Son, why doesn't your brother like your father smoking?"

Ethan looked around, then said seriously: "Brother said the fire will burn down the whole house, and also burn people."

Michael grabbed his son and ran for the door without thinking.

Ethan asked curiously, "Daddy, where are you going to carry me, my brother is still at home, I want to play with my brother."

Michael felt himself in a cold sweat and asked his son nervously, "How old is the brother you saw?"

Ethan smiled and said, "Taller than me, older than me, he said he was five years old and his name was James."

Michael thought for a moment and asked, "Did he say where he lived? Where are his mom and dad?"

Ethan said seriously: "Brother said he used to live with his mom and dad in our house when the house was just him and his mom and dad, but one day, the house suddenly caught fire, and everything burned."

Michael seemed to think of something, the whole body involuntarily began to tremble, Ethan did not know and asked: "Dad, what happened to you, why are you shaking ah."

Michael nervously called his wife Abigail who was at work and asked her to come home immediately.

Abigail came back from her vacation and was shocked to hear Michael's story.

She asked her son in fear: "Son, tell me, is it related to your brother that you can't build a fire in the house?"

Ethan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, as soon as my brother saw you using the fire, he blew it out."

Abigail looked at Michael fearfully, and continued: "Son, did the brother say why he blew out the fire?"

Ethan nodded and said, "Brother said, he played with fire a long time ago, and then it burned. As a result, everything in the house burned down, and after the fire, his mother and father were also lost, he searched for a long time, but could not find his mother and father."

Michael and his wife discussed the matter and decided to ask Dylan, who had bought the house for them, what was going on, after all, they had spent all their savings to buy the house.

When Dylan heard about this matter, he put his head down and thought for a long time, and finally decided to tell Michael and his wife the truth.

Dylan lowered his head and said to Michael and his wife: "James is a poor child, he was just born and abandoned by his biological parents, Elijah and his wife adopted him, Elijah and his wife loved him and treated him like their own son.

They rented my house three years ago when James was five years old. He loved to play with fire, as all boys do. On one occasion, he was hiding in the kitchen while his mom and dad were watching TV in the living room, playing with the fire.

When he was having fun, from the living room came the sound of his mother calling him to take a bath and go to bed. He casually stepped on the fire a few times, but the fire was not completely extinguished, and the fire started from the kitchen, and when his mother and father found out, it was too late, and as a result, the family of three was burned alive.

Afterward, I demolished the burnt house, built it from scratch, and sold it to you at a low price. I'm sorry, I didn't know he would stay there.

Michael and his wife finally understood why they couldn't get the fire started in the house.

They began to regret having bought the house, but they knew that now was not the time to regret it, but rather the time to find a solution to the problem.

Because they had spent all their savings on the house, they could not lose the only house and did not want to lose the only house.

And the only way not to lose the house is to evict James, otherwise, they don't dare to go back to the house.

When Michael and his wife were at a loss, John's words gave them a hint.

John said, "Mom and Dad, my brother is a good man, he's just waiting for his mom and dad at home."

Dylan thought about it and said, "Why don't you find him a Taoist priest to do a superintendence? Then you can continue to live in that house."

Michael and his wife thought about it and decided to find a Taoist priest to come to their house to do a blessing to James.

Dylan saw that Michael and his wife had the idea of finding a Taoist priest to perform the blessing, so he smiled and said, "I know a very powerful Taoist priest, why don't we go together and ask him to come to your house to perform the blessing for James."

Michael and his wife immediately nodded and said in unison, "Yes, yes."

As soon as they arrived at the house, John jumped out of his father's arms, ran to the kitchen, and said to a cloud of air, "Brother, go away, they have brought bad people to kill you, go away."

Only to see John's front slowly appear a fire-burned inhuman child, his eyes full of anger, except John, the other people want to run away.

Only to see the child open his mouth a blow, a beam of fire from his mouth shot out, and the fire shot directly at the Taoist priest, Michael, his wife, and Dylan were too late to escape.

Strange things happened, except for the four of them on fire, the house is not even a spark.

John cried and ran to the couple, not a moment later, five people were burned and James the same.

James was burned like charcoal face now a trace of a strange smile, was burned only the teeth of their mouth a closed: "No one can drive me away, I want to wait for my mother and father."
