108 The Return of the Old Man (2)
"You are?"
When I asked, the green bamboo umbrella moved slightly, and the man turned around.
Under the umbrella was a girl, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked and her smile was like a flower, and the scattered red color colored her face. A cloud of black hair fell down, only a few hair rings were simply tied with pink and purple ribbons at the back of her head, and a light water blue shawl was wrapped around her silky clothes, and she walked in step by step from outside the door, as if she was dancing on the colorful clouds.
I watched as she didn't know how to speak, just stood there and stared intently.
"Why are you looking at me directly?" said a sweet voice, with a smile.
Why is she always laughing? Is there so much fun in the world?
"Please come in. I stepped back and reached out and pointed inside.
She smiled and took the umbrella and tilted her head, "I'm already in." β
yes, you have legs too.
I said something to myself, turned around and walked back into the house. She hurried after her, the ribbons and shawls rising gently behind her, as if they were real and illusory.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked, chasing after me.
I stopped in a daze, and she hit me in the back. How stupid......
"Why did you stop all of a sudden?"
I turned around and she rubbed her head and asked me. I was even more depressed, "I'm going to stop and go, what do you have to do with it?"
After listening to my words, she lowered her hand and puffed out her cheeks, "Aren't you the master here? You stop without saying a word, and I can't react and crash into it. β
I thought what she said seemed to make sense, but I always felt a little uncomfortable, so I replied stiffly, "You're so annoying." β
She didn't seem to expect my response to be like this, her eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "You're so interesting!"
"......" I was speechless and could only move on. She followed up again, reminding me of the kraft candy I had written about in the book.
"My name is Sheng Xue, what's your name?"
"You're so tall, you're about the same height as my brother~ It's amazing!"
"Why is your hair white, are you a fairy?"
"If you are a fairy sister, then can you take me to the sky to play?!"
......
At the end of the day, she was like my tail and chattering behind me. I can't help but wonder, isn't she hungry?
The book says that humans are hungry, but the whole day, she followed me and said that she was hungry.
"Eh, you. I put down the book and saw her face staring at me with her cheeks bent. I felt a little hot on my face, which was not very comfortable. "Don't look at me like that, stand up. β
"You're so pretty, what's your name?" she stood up obediently, but her eyes were still rolling over me.
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry?" she realized, "Ah, I'm a little hungry indeed." β
Well, that's right. I nodded and walked out, but she came up and grabbed me, and I threw her to the ground mercilessly. It's really annoying.
"Ah, how did you drop me. "Sheng Xue is a little aggrieved, ah yes, her name is Sheng Xue. It's strange that I called it out so easily.
"I think you're annoying, so I want to throw you. "I'll tell you the truth.
"You!" Sheng Xue obviously didn't expect me to be so sincere, so she collapsed on the ground and decided not to get up, her eyes that were always smiling finally dimmed, and crystal water flowed out of them.
She cried.
For the first time, I saw what the book says, crying. It's so pretty. Well, it's decided, drop her more next time.
I watched it for a while, and she stopped crying, her eyes were red like the little rabbit written in the book, and she was actually a little pitiful. Hahaha I want to laugh, but I can't laugh because if I do, she'll probably bother me again. She looked like this, I thought she must be hungry, so I went into the garden and picked some fruit for her, and poured it with dew and put it in a glass jar and sent it to her.
"Sheng Xue. "My name is her.
She sat in her place with her knees crossed, hey, did she have another emotion in the book - angry?
Oh, she's angry. It seems serious, but what does it have to do with me? I put the fruit bowl beside her, and planned to take some books and go out into the garden to read.
"What's your name?" Sheng Xue suddenly spoke, startling me.
What's my name? I've never been obsessed with this question, why is she so persistent? It's kind of interesting.
I sat down beside her, holding the heavy bamboo slips, and after thinking about it for a while, I replied solemnly, "I don't have a name." β
"You don't have a name?" Sheng Xue seemed to hear something very strange, "Why?"
"Because no one gave me a name. "I said it as a matter of course.
"It's pathetic. Sheng Xue thought about it and sighed, grabbed a fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, "Seeing that you are so pitiful, I invite you to eat the fruit together." β
I felt a little strange about what she said, but when I heard that she meant to share something with me, I felt a little warm in my chest, and took the fruit she handed me and ate it. I decided not to drop her in the future, after all, she is human, what if I don't pay attention to it and fall to her death?
After eating the fruit, I took Sheng Xue to the Flower Pavilion to see the night view, I lit the lantern to light up the long night, and all the beauty of the Flower Pavilion was at this moment.
"You like to light the lamp, too? Sheng Xue sat on the stage with a smile, and a pair of bright eyes reflected the five-colored lotus lantern. "The road to get here is dark and long. At that time, I was thinking that there would be a light to guide the way. As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at me excitedly, "Eh, would you like to put a lamp on the side of the road up the mountain?" so that people here don't have to walk in the dark like me in the future." β
After listening to it, I thought it was a bad idea, and replied coldly, "I can't get out." β
Sheng Xue was very surprised when she heard this, "Can't get out?" said she lowered her head as if thinking about something, and then raised it again, "You mean, you can't get out of here?"
I nodded my head as a matter of course, "yes." β
"Aren't you pathetic?"
"Pathetic?" I thought for a moment, "it's okay, I'm used to it." β
"If only you could go out, I can take you to my house next time...... But we'll have to wait until there's no war. Sheng Xue held her cheek and continued to look at the light, but I cared.
"Where's your house?" I asked.
"My home, my home is in Shengguo. β
"Shengguo?" I searched in my mind, and it seemed to be a small border country with bitter cold all year round. He is often bullied by the surrounding powers. Thinking of this, I patted her on the shoulder and asked seriously, "Is something wrong with you?" Say it, I'll see what I can do. β
A tenant is a living or dead soul that has changed its magnetic field for some reason. She mentioned her country/family, so it should be her country/family that has an accident. β
Speaking of this, Sheng Xue's eyes dimmed in two bent autumn waters, she looked at the lotus lantern floating on the lake attentively, and it took a long time to slowly tell her what had happened, "I am the sister of our Shengguo Great Master. Our country has been in war for many years, and it has been vulnerable to the baptism of war. The prince of the enemy country sent an envoy and said that he would marry me. As long as I am willing to marry, I can keep our prosperous country. β
The news quickly reached my ears, and I agreed almost without even thinking about it. Although we have married three princesses before Shengguo, we have not stopped the war, but every time we get married, we have enjoyed peace for a year or two. So I agreed. But my brother wouldn't allow it. β
"My elder brother is a great teacher, he is familiar with astronomy and geography, and in my eyes he is the most powerful person in our Shengguo, and I have always believed in his words. He told me that one night he was at the observatory and saw a different star. β
Panic gradually appeared in Sheng Xue's eyes, "That's a disaster star." β
"My brother said, the disaster star is here, our Shengguo is afraid that it will be destroyed in less than three years, my brother betrayed the king, and wants to escape with me! One late at night, my brother arranged everything to take me away, but he did not expect his most trusted apprentice to betray him. The king locked my brother in a dungeon and put me under house arrest in my room to wait for the marriage of the prince of the enemy country. β
"My brother once told me that the prince of the enemy country was cruel by nature, and that every wife was tortured to death by him. I was afraid, but there was no one to talk to. Finally, one day, I received a note from my brother who didn't know how to use it from the dungeon, which ......" Sheng Xue said here, and there was a faint choking in his soft voice, "There is a word written on it in his blood, escape." He told me to escape. She covered her mouth and locked the sobs in her throat, her thin shoulders twitching as if spasms, and her frowning brows spoke of the sadness she did not want to speak.
I looked a little unbearable, a little unnaturally stretched out my hand, clumsily wrapped that thin body in my arms.
"I want to save my brother...... Whining...... He is my only relative in this world......" Sheng Xue couldn't stop her grief anymore and cried in my arms.
The clothes I wore today were very thin, and the moment she put her face in my arms, I felt the warmth in my chest almost quickly. She seems to have rubbed everything on it......
But I hugged her tightly, because she looked really pathetic. Alas, am I like this, as described in the book, kind?
Finally, the girl was tired of crying, and it was possible that she fainted from crying. She lay motionless in my arms, and judging from her well-proportioned breathing, she was really asleep.
What should I do now? I'm a little panicked, I don't seem to have a guest room here? All the rooms are mine, how can there be a guest room?
I stood up and hugged her in my arms, and suddenly I had an ideaβ
The cellar on the basement floor seems to be empty, so can she live there?
Well, I'm so smart. 166 Reading Network
