160, [Take you to eat ice cream (below)] (Fourth update, Silver League "Han Xu" plus more 3/10)
The little girl looked up at the old man, and she felt that the old man was really old, the oldest old man she had ever seen.
Shriveled skin, silver hair, and dull eyes.
If the little girl in the past was like a candle flame that would go out at any time in the wind, then now the old man is actually more like it.
But I don't know why, the little girl just feels very close.
She had slept soundly that night, and she felt warm in the old man's arms now.
She is still a child, she feels a little strange to Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi, so she is a little scared, but for this old grandfather who has always insisted on holding her, she even wants to get close to him.
Listening to the little girl's words, the old man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, nothing came out, as if he was stuck.
He couldn't help but raise his skinny palm and touch his cheek, as well as the white silk on his head.
It's good that she doesn't recognize it.
"Gurr-grunt......" the little girl's stomach screamed.
She really hadn't eaten properly in a long time.
"Are you hungry?" said the old man softly.
Although he tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, it still seemed extremely hoarse and a little eerie.
The little girl didn't feel scared, she stretched out her little palm and wiped her little mouth, a little embarrassed, but she still nodded, and said in a milky voice: "It's a little bit hungry......"
As she spoke, she also stretched out her two little fingers and made a slight gesture to indicate that she was really only a little hungry.
The old man smiled, pushed the taro pie on the table, and said, "Eat." ”
"Grandpa, can I really eat it?" the little girl stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips, her stomach rumbling again, but her eyes were staring at the cone.
This cone ...... Looks like a good time!
"Finish the taro pie before you can eat the ice cream. Do not eat on an empty stomach. The old man said solemnly.
The little girl felt a little in a trance, this old man spoke in a tone similar to her father's!
Maybe it's because she's really hungry, the little girl eats very fast, and her little mouth is dirty, she wants to wipe it with her hands, but she remembers that her father used to say that this is unhygienic, so she said to Lin Xiaoqi: "Sister, can you hand me that piece of tissue?"
Lin Xiaoqi smiled and handed over the tissue.
After the little girl wiped her mouth indiscriminately, she continued to eat the taro pie with a big gulp.
Children love sweets, and they don't get tired of eating several.
"Grandpa, I'm done!" said to the old man before she could swallow it completely.
Her big eyes were fixed on the cone throughout.
I think about it, I think about it, I think about it......
It feels like it's been a long time since I've eaten ice cream!
Dad, a big liar, also said that in the future, as long as the weather is hot, he will take me to eat ice cream once a week!
"Eat!" the old man smiled, and handed the little girl the somewhat melted cone.
The little girl stretched out her little tongue and licked it slightly, like a little kitten.
Soon she squinted her eyes slightly, shook her little head, and let out a long drag: "Uh-huh~~~~~", looking like she was enjoying it.
She eats slowly, like she can't help but finish the ice cream.
No one was going to rush her, everyone just watched her quietly.
The little girl finally finished the whole cone and asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me now, where is my father?"
The old man shook his head, looked at the girl's dirty hands, and said solemnly: "After eating ice cream, what should a good boy do?"
"I know, I know, wash your hands first!" said the little girl, in a milky voice.
After a moment, she was stunned, raised her little head, and stared at the old man with big eyes.
Familiar words, familiar tones, familiar embraces......
Unfamiliar cheeks, unfamiliar skin, unfamiliar voices......
After a long time, her star-like eyes began to redden, and tears flowed, and she said to the old man:
"It's Dad...... You are...... You're a dad, right?"
……
……
There is a saying in Buddhism that there are eight sufferings in life. (There is also a saying that there are seven sufferings.) )
There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment, can't ask for it, and can't let go.
In just a dozen words, it does express most of the sorrow in this life.
All beings are suffering!
The old man, that is, Ji Qiuli, just watched his daughter cry silently, and then stretched out his palm, which was already full of old age spots, to wipe away her tears.
He was already struggling to raise his arms now.
"Is the ice cream good?" he laughs.
The little girl sobbed and licked her little mouth, and said, "Woo...... Delicious...... Woowoo woo ......"
Ji Qiuli patted her little head lightly, and she could feel the pair of opposing fox ears in the hat.
"It's delicious, Dad promised you. ”
Then he said to the little girl, "Close your eyes." ”
Although the little girl didn't understand why her father said this, she obediently closed her eyes.
Ji Qiuli raised his palm, slightly touched the little girl's eyebrows, and the little girl fell asleep.
His palm was slightly sealed, and then he lightly tapped the little girl's eyebrows, his face struggling.
He used magic to seal all the memories of him and his wife in the girl's mind.
Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi saw all this in their eyes, although this approach was not necessarily right, but this was Ji Qiuli's final choice as a father, and he and Lin Xiaoqi didn't say anything.
"Xiao Qi, Ying Ling and Zhu Er, I don't worry, Chen Dinggen is too stupid, and he went to be a defender, you know that I don't like this kind of stupid person the most in my life, so I'll leave it to you, okay?" Ji Qiuli pleaded slightly.
Lin Xiaoqi nodded and took the child.
Ji Qiuli raised his head, looked at Lu Yibai and said, "I have investigated you, and even monitored you without your knowledge, I know that you have a magical power in your body, and your injuries are recovering quickly." ”
Although he didn't know how Ji Qiuli knew this, Lu Yibai still nodded.
"I beg you to use that power to wash her veins and body once in a while, is it okay......? But I'm still not reassured. Ji Qiuli pleaded again.
Lu Yibai also nodded.
The vitality in his body is used to change his life against the sky, which is absolutely impossible to do, it is a bloodline problem, and it is difficult to solve. But just to stabilize the little girl's condition, it should still be okay.
Is Ji Qiuli in front of him a good person? In fact, it is far from being said. He took advantage of many people and stirred up the storm in Wucheng, and everyone was his guinea pig. Even some of the Night's Watch regulations he violated were felonies, and his conduct was extremely heinous.
His life, a life that has shone and fallen in the eyes of others, is finally coming to an end.
"What's her name?" Lu Yibai asked.
"Small waist, when I was born, I was too thin, so I called Ji Xiaowaist. Ji Qiu left the road.
This child, this half-demon, is the result of his parents extending his life at the cost of his life.
Ji Qiuli took one last look at his daughter and said softly:
"Little waist, Mom and Dad love you. ”
Before he closed his eyes completely, he didn't forget to remind Lu Yibai and Lin Xiaoqi:
"She loves ice cream, remember to bring her to eat ice cream often......"
