Chapter Eighty-Four: The Stars
As the twilight darkens, the huge green canopy of trees shades the canyon and makes a rustling sound in the night breeze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The roots of the stout giant trees are staggered and coiled, and the town is quiet and peaceful with the lights at the bottom of the valley.
Under the eaves hangs a delicate and cute round lantern, which looks like a chubby fox, which looks unique and distinctive, and the warm orange glow sways in the night.
Qianling sat on the edge of the bed with a bowl of rice soup, stirred it, scooped up a spoonful and blew it gently.
Li Xiaoguo sat next to her with her swaddling clothes.
Li Xiaoruo slept in swaddling clothes, the little white fox's ears drooped lightly, and he yawned a little sleepily, and tears appeared in his eyes.
"Come, Xiaoruo, drink the rice soup and go to sleep. ”
Qianling's voice was soft, and she handed the spoon containing the rice soup to Li Xiaoruo's mouth.
The eyelashes are long and curly, Li Xiaoruo opened her eyes and looked at her, a pair of magnificent heterochromatic pupils were moist and translucent, like colorful pool water under the moonlight, reflecting colorful colors.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, Li Xiaoruo looked at Li Xiaoguo who was holding her, then at Qianling, and obediently opened her mouth and drank the rice soup one after another.
A bowl of rice soup quickly bottomed out.
Drowsiness hit, Li Xiaoruo licked her lips gently, shrunk into the swaddling clothes, and fell asleep after a while.
The little face is white and tender, and pink. Li Xiaoruo slept soundly, her long eyelashes drooped lightly, casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.
Gently putting the bowl down, Qianling looked at Li Xiaoruo's sweet sleeping face, and a smile rose on her lips.
During the day, after she left the dried fruit shop, she walked a few more streets.
However, without exception, the demon people either sent her away tactfully, saying "no milk", or they just glared at her and were kicked out of the store before they could speak.
There is no milk, and now it can only be replaced by rice soup temporarily, but fortunately, Li Xiaoruo is not a picky eater, and still falls asleep with a full drink.
took the swaddling clothes from Li Xiaoguo's arms, gently put them on the bed, pulled the quilt and carefully covered and tucked them tightly.
The white velvet fox ears were lightly cocked, Li Xiaoguo sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Li Xiaoruo who was sleeping in swaddling clothes, and stretched out his hand to gently tuck the quilt.
The big dark red eyes quietly stared at the baby in swaddling clothes, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"Xiaoguo, I've worked hard for you these past few days. ”
Qianling smiled and gently rubbed his hair.
In addition to Qianling, Li Xiaoruo's closest person is Li Xiaoguo. Only when Qianling and Li Xiaoguo hugged her would Li Xiaoruo obediently not cry. In this regard, Li Jing and Li Xi were depressed for a long time.
Li Xiaoguo looked at her and shook her head very seriously:
"I promised my sister that I would protect Xiaoruo well. ”
Qianling looked at the seriousness and persistence in his eyes and nodded:
"Xiaoguo has grown up, like a qualified little uncle, if Li Sang knows, he will definitely be proud of you. ”
Li Xiaoguo's big dark red eyes overflowed with brilliance:
"Really, will my sister know?"
Qianling looked at him, slowly stood up, and walked to the window.
The night breeze is light, and the lanterns under the eaves are swaying lightly in the wind, and the orange light is slightly flickering.
A huge canopy of trees shades the canyon above, and the green foliage sways and the sparkling stars fall through the gaps.
Chestnut hair falls softly around the neck and flutters gently with the night breeze.
Qianling looked up at the sky faintly revealing between the swaying canopies, the sparkling stars in the sky, and her voice was very soft:
"Definitely, Lissan...... You must be watching us there with Big Brother Jinhyuk. ”
Li Xiaoguo walked up to her, looking at the small night sky with dark red eyes, and her eyes overflowed with light:
"Has my sister become a star?"
Qianling lowered her head, gently rubbed his hair, and smiled slightly: "Hmm." ”
Li Xiaoguo suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky above the canyon, looking at her without blinking, with a smile on his face:
"I know which one is my sister!"
"Really, which one?" Qianling smiled and looked at him.
"That's, that's! the brightest one!"
Li Xiaoguo tiptoed and tried to point upward, his eyes full of brilliance.
The night breeze flows, and the huge green canopy of trees sways like a tumbling wave.
The night sky is clear and full of stars.
The wind ruffled the light chestnut hair, and the wisps fluttered on the shoulders.
Qianling looked up at the sky, and her nose suddenly became a little sour.
Lisan, Lisan.
How are you doing in the distant night sky and the bright sea of stars?
You must have found Brother Jinhyuk and lived happily every day, right?
Light chestnut hair fluttered on her cheeks, and Qianling stared at the silver stars twinkling between the gaps in the canopy, and a touch of tenderness flowed from her eyes.
If you meet Xiao Yu and meet grandpa, please convey it to me, I miss them very much.
The stars flowed, and the stars were like tears.
The smile slowly froze and dissipated.
Qianling stared at the faint flickering starlight between the huge canopy in a daze.
Legend has it that the deceased will turn into stars, forever watching and waiting for their loved ones.
Once, at Ellens' mourning service, she seemed to have said such things to anyone.
Only now that I think about it...... But I vaguely felt a little ridiculous.
He was never a child, never a survivor of that explosion.
He never understood these things, and he never cared about them.
At that time, listening to her talk about this, he probably thought she was stupid and ridiculous?
Her eyelids drooped, and Qianling slowly lowered her head, revealing a hint of gloom in her eyes.
But it was she herself who took him back without permission, and preconceived him as an angel of Ellens.
That's not his fault.
It's just that whenever I think of Xiao Yue, the silver-haired child with ice eyes, and the clear eyes when he looks at her......
It's going to be sad, it's going to be sad.
Now he is black-haired and red-eyed, and the leader of the demon clan is respected by all people, "Lord Luna", and he is no longer the silver-haired and silver-eyed little boy beside her at the beginning.
So, what about Satsuki? Where is Satsuki?
Gone, gone, gone,
Or maybe it's just a shadow of the "moon god", a fleeting image.
And Satsuki, it never existed.
Shaking her head vigorously and patting her face, Qianling pulled her face and held back a smile.
It's okay, it's okay.
There was nothing left from the beginning, so she was not afraid of losing.
She has survived even the days of the Rose Garden, what else in this world she dare not face?
With her hands clenched a little, Qianling sniffed and looked up at the night sky, her amber eyes reflecting the orange light of the lantern, revealing firm persistence.
No matter how difficult it is to survive in the territory of the Demon Clan at the bottom of this canyon, how serious is the racial discrimination of those Demon Clansmen......
Now, she just wants to do everything she can to take good care of Xiao Ruo.
After a while, when Xiaoruo grows up and her life in this demon clan territory stabilizes, she and Li Jing and Li Xi will take Li Xiaoruo back to the fox clan to fulfill Li Sang's last wish.
And then......
She can leave here with peace of mind and go somewhere else.
The night breeze was shallow, her light chestnut hair danced quietly, and her eyes were as calm as the sparkling sea under the moonlight.
If displacement is inevitable and fateful, then she gladly accepts it.
Acceptance, but it does not mean submission.
Just like she once promised her grandfather, she has faith in her heart and will never give up.
Maybe......
Maybe one day, she will be able to meet someone like Jinhyuk, a place like the Yinfeng River Valley, like Li Sang, and have her own place from now on.
It's just that, whenever and wherever
That will never have anything to do with the Demon Clan again.
