229 Chapter 229
The author has something to say: I revised the outline and found that this chapter needs to be rewritten...... Alas......
Strive to replace before dawn, if it is not replaced by dawn, it proves that I have not slept in a small line......
Every day, in order to write an update, I burst my liver orz [However, if you don't force yourself, you have a hunch that you will dry the net for five days and fish for two days]
After a long time, Ji Xiaoliang remembered that day, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, he should have found out that something was wrong earlier.
The time is the second Sunday after March, and the location is on the embankment of the Willow River. On the shore, there is already green grass waving its head in the wind, but pedestrians are very scarce. Spring in the south is always rainy, yesterday it was a dripping night, and today I watched the slightly muddy water of the Liuhe River rise. The breeze blew on the surface of the river, and it seemed to be stained with a little moisture, blowing so much that the cracks of people's bones seemed to be soaked in some cold wetness.
On such a humid, dimly lit evening, Ji Xiaoliang met a somewhat eccentric child by the river.
"Woo woo woo ......"
When Ji Xiaoliang found out, the child was squatting by the turbulent river and crying quietly.
"Hey, be careful!"
Ji Xiaoliang saw that the hem of the child's clothes were soaked in the water, and couldn't help shouting at him.
Ji Xiaoliang didn't know if he was scared of him, after hearing his voice, the child jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and then he seemed to be dizzy, and he was about to jump straight into the river.
didn't have time to think about anything, Ji Xiaoliang threw down his schoolbag and rushed over quickly.
In the case that half of the child's body was immersed in the river, Ji Xiaoliang's experience of playing soy sauce and running in the basketball team for many years still played a role, and he dragged the child out of the river dangerously.
"Hmm......"
After hugging each other's arms, Ji Xiaoliang couldn't help but snort, the child in his hand was much heavier than he looked. Fortunately, even if he was suddenly hugged, the child didn't struggle - maybe he was stupid, right? When Ji Xiaoliang panted and brought him back to the embankment, the child only stopped crying for a while, and looked up at the sweaty and red-faced young man in front of him.
"What kind of kid are you?Adult?Did you know that you were so dangerous just now?!"
With the impatience with children peculiar to teenagers, Ji Xiaoliang picked up the schoolbag on the ground that was stained with muddy water, and said to the child a little roughly.
……
The boy didn't speak.
And after seeing the child's face, even Ji Xiaoliang couldn't help but be stunned.
What a beautiful kid......
An exclamation slid through his heart.
That's right, it was a delicate and almost unpopular child, he looked like he was only six or seven years old, his small face was like fine porcelain with an inorganic white, and under his dark and thick eyelashes was a pair of rare slender phoenix eyes, perhaps because of crying, his eyelids were glowing with a thin crimson, and under the wet eyelashes, a pair of dark cyan pupils shone with a strange clear light, just like a black glass chess piece frozen in the spring water in winter. The child's long braids, tied with red ropes, hung down behind the child, and in the pale light of the spring evening, the child's long hair shone with a blue-like sheen like a crow's feather, and matched with his dark scarlet clothes...... He looked like a doll in a brocade box, and his whole body had an ancient and strange aura.
Of course, that strange premonition only stayed in Ji Xiaoliang's mind for a moment, and was quickly annihilated by worry.
The child's silent state made the hero save the beauty of the classmate Ji a little nervous, he squatted down and looked at the child carefully, frowned and said:
"Hey, are you okay? Do you have a cold?"
He remembered the appearance of the child immersed in the water before, and secretly said that it was not good, such weather was probably too cold for a child in wet clothes, and then he took off his school uniform and prepared to put it on the child.
However, when touching the very strange deep clothes on the other party's body, Ji Xiaoliang raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Make no mistake, the clothes are dry.
Ji Xiaoliang couldn't believe his eyes, but the fabric touched by his fingertips was soft and smooth that he had never seen, and he didn't know what process was used to embroider the scaly patterns in the fabric with tiny spots of light between the swaying of the fabric, where was there a little trace of wetness?
Ji Xiaoliang was suddenly a little dazed, and tried to think about it, it seemed that he had indeed seen this kid jump into the water before......
It was at this point that the kid seemed to finally react.
He sobbed and wept, muttering something in his mouth, still trying to run to the river.
"Hey, wait......"
Ji Xiaoliang had to hold the child in his arms. And it was at this time that he finally heard what the child seemed to be saying.
"Nothing...... Eat ......"
The child's speech was actually very clear, but when he spoke, he had a very special tone, so that Ji Xiaoliang could only hear a few words, but even so, it made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Was it hungry......
If there are other problems, I'm afraid Ji Xiaoliang won't be able to deal with it, but if he is "hungry", he still has a full bag in his schoolbag...... Biscuits.
It was a homemade cranberry biscuit that Ji Xiaoliang was once proud of, fluffy, crispy, golden, exuding a special sweet fragrance mixed with butter and sugar, red dried cranberries through the cellophane, exuding a jewel-like luster, and a sapphire blue ribbon bow tied on the cellophane bag printed with white lace patterns - considering that the original function of this biscuit was used by Ji Xiaoliang to confess, it is understandable to be a little girly.
By the way, Ji Xiaoliang's confession also failed today.
The reason why he came to the riverbank on such a miserable day was to throw the biscuits he baked into the river to express his inner pain. And in this situation, of course, Ji Xiaoliang didn't hesitate at all, and directly grabbed the biscuit and handed it to the child.
This doll-like child seemed a little helpless when he encountered cellophane, but the strange thing was that Ji Xiaoliang was not surprised at all, as if such a child should not understand modern things in the first place...... Ji Xiaoliang inexplicably felt like this.
Somewhat amused, he reached out and took the biscuit from the bag and placed it to the child's mouth, who raised his eyes, and after a moment of sparkling gaze on his face, opened his lips hesitantly and latched on to the biscuit.
I have to say that good looks are justice.
As an adolescent boy, Ji Xiaoliang has never liked children very much, but when he met this child, he could patiently hold his chin and squat to the side, watching the child hold the biscuit with his fingers like a hamster and eat it quickly.
At the beginning, he was still a little reserved, even if he nibbled on biscuits, he nibbled elegantly, but after chewing for a while, his eyes widened more and more, and there was a trace of disbelief in his clear eyes, as if he was not eating some handmade cranberry biscuits, but some cherished human delicacy, this kind of surprise made his whole person look more vivid, and naturally more cute.
When Ji Xiaoliang reacted, he suddenly realized that he fed him a whole cranberry biscuit as if he was feeding him some small animal.
"Okay, you're full, can you tell me your name now? Are you lost with your family?"
Ji Xiaoliang sighed and coaxed helplessly.
"Wuyi. The boy said suddenly. "My name...... Wuyi ......"
He never said where his parents were, but kept pestering Ji Xiaoliang with a completely different enthusiasm from before.
"The food you make is delicious...... I'll always make it for me in the future!"
Wuyi kept saying in that strange voice in Ji Xiaoliang's ear, which made him the size of two heads at a time.
"Alright, alright, I'll make it for you later. Let me give you a call first......"
Ji Xiaoliang said absentmindedly perfunctorily. But with the child's name, it's easy to do. Ji Xiaoliang patted Wuyi's shoulder and told him not to run around, and then began to laboriously take out his mobile phone from his schoolbag in the increasingly dim light.
If you call the police, you should be able to send this kid over, right? Ji Xiaoliang thought, pressing his fingers on the keyboard.
"Which 'u' is it?"
He lowered his voice and asked habitually.
But there was no movement behind him for a long time.
"I said ......"
Ji Xiaoliang frowned and turned his head.
A cool, damp wind blew across the wet riverbank path.
Behind Ji Xiaoliang, there was no one. At the same time, a violent sound of water suddenly exploded on the surface of the Liuhe River below the embankment.
It was as if something huge and heavy had fallen into the water, and a dense splash of water exuded a faint fishy smell and rushed towards Ji Xiaoliang intensively......
In the blooming white splash, Ji Xiaoliang saw a huge creature as thick and slender as a train, it had a golden mane like a lion, a mirage-like strange light on the antlers, and a large area of bright red scales like fire glass covered its body......
Because of excessive shock, Ji Xiaoliang's brain was completely blank at that moment, and he couldn't even roll his eyes. As if sensing his gaze, the creature that should have only appeared in mythological stories turned its head slightly to look at Ji Xiaoliang, it opened its mouth, revealing the orb in its mouth, and seemed to say something.
Oh, and by the way, it seems to have a little bit of dried cranberry crumbs on its mane.
Of course, that may be Ji Xiaoliang's hallucination.
"Boom—"
Above their heads, I don't know when the ** gathered rolled uneasily, and above the lead-gray clouds, the spring thunder rumbled.
The massive beast's head emerged from the darkness, and between breaths, a pulsating halo emerged from its mouth and nose...... Those eyes were staring at him. 166 Reading Network
