Chapter 401: A Friend of Mine (2)
Holly's face was a little red, not because of how excited he was crying, but because his illness had not recovered for a long time, and the red rash on his face had not yet subsided. The five-year-old told him that the most important thing to do in the face of illness was to persevere, drink the bowl of bitter medicine, and not play outside like the rest of the children.
Holly, he began to pity the child called Holly.
"Fifth brother, you tell me honestly, I, my illness, can I really get better?"
He smiled and reached out to his head and rubbed it vigorously, "Of course, as long as you drink the medicine obediently and sleep obediently, in a few days, my brother will take you to put the paper kite." ”
"Put the paper kite?" Holly was really a child, and jumped up with joy, "Fifth brother is the best!
But the smile only stopped on his face for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
"What's wrong?"
Holly bit her lip and looked up at him, "I, I think of a friend of mine." ”
"Friends?"
Holly nodded, "A friend of mine is named Xiaomei. We once made a particularly large paper kite, although my father helped me make it, but the above painting was painted by Xiaomei, but it is beautiful, there is such a big flower butterfly~" He stretched out his hands and tried to show how big it was.
"That day, the sun was so good, it was the best spring I have ever seen, and Xiaomei and I were putting paper kites next to the farmland in front of my house. The paper kite flew so high that we almost couldn't get it back, but fortunately, the uncle on the side of the road helped me rip it off. Holly's eyes flickered, as clear and pure as they had been when I first saw him that day.
"But...... Shortly after that, on the morning of the day when I made an appointment with Xiaomei to release the paper kites again, the flood overflowed the village......" a little bit of crystal swirled in his eyes, "I stayed at home, and there was water outside, and there were corpses floating on the water." On that day, the weather was fine and there was no rain, and people said that it was the sudden collapse of the embankment outside the village, and the heavy water washed away the villagers. ”
Holly wiped his tears silently, because the fifth brother said that he couldn't cry easily, he was very obedient, but he couldn't help but make a sound in his mouth.
"Holly, you, do you want to hear the story of the fifth brother?"
Holly immediately came in and buried her head on top of him, "Hmm. ”
"A friend of mine is named Xiaoli. We once fell into a terrible cage where people died every day. And every day we think about how to survive. Once, Xiao Li ran away with all of us, we picked the door lock, and hurriedly fled while the guards were not prepared......"
"Did it work?"
Yu Qian shook his head, "Failed, all the children except me and Xiaoli died at their hands." ”
"Huh?" said Holly, surprised, "they're all bad guys!
"Catch, how to catch? Xiao Li and I are just children, at that time I was thinking about running for my life, I went to steal things, I was beaten by others, just thinking, Xiao Li and I lived one more day, and I hoped to escape from their clutches one day later. ”
"That'...... In the end, did Xiaoli and his fifth brother escape?"
"Escaped, we're all alive. Yu Qian sighed briefly, "It's a pity that in the ten years since then, she and I have forgotten about it." I couldn't get out of this incident, and I also got a strange illness that lasted for ten years. ”
"Fifth brother's illness?" Holly asked with a wink, "Is it also like Holly, can't you see the light?"
He shook his head, "The fifth brother's illness is a little strange, over and over again, everyone thinks that this is a strange person, or a madman." ”
"Yes...... My sister says you're a fool!"
He was amused by Holly, "That's your sister who has no vision, I know more things than your sister." Holly, go to the stars at night?"
Holly nodded like a rattle, "Think about it!"
"Then tonight, we are in the Hundred Gardens, a word?"
Holly tugged at his sleeve and nodded, "A word is a certainty, the fifth brother is the best!"
……
On the top of the main hall, Lan Yi came to report and told him from beginning to end that after lunch, Yu Qian entered Holly's room again.
It's really strange, how could he and this kid talk to heaven?
"Sovereign, the slave maid heard from Holly that they would go to the Hundred Gardens to see the stars at night. ”
"Nonsense...... "Qingqian's eyebrows raised slightly, "Holly's body is not yet well, how can she go to blow the wind?"
"Actually, it doesn't hurt to go, although holly can't see the daylight, but you can always go out at night to see the breath. ”
Qing looked at the blue clothes and looked up and down, "Why do I think, you have been talking to that fool recently?"
"The slave didn't dare. The blue cloth buried her head, "The slave just thinks that this is good for the monarch, the monarch has been busy with post-disaster reconstruction recently, and he has no time to rest." Take this opportunity to talk to the Emperor. ”
"Did I say I was going?"
"Huh?" the blue coat looked up, "Monarch, aren't you going?"
She thought for a moment, handed over a long-awaited child to a fool, but still couldn't rest assured, "Go, get ready, don't let Holly catch a cold." ”
"Yes!"
……
Tonight is a night when the stars are scarce, and I said that I want to see the stars, but there is no other scenery to see except for this round of bright moon hanging on the branches.
He was forced to wrap himself in a large quilt like Holly, because Qing Qian felt that both of them would catch a cold.
"Sister Qingqian, are you cold, can you come to me?" he said with open arms,
She just shook her head lightly and refused, looking at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.
"Fifth brother, will there really be stars tonight?"
He stretched out a hand from the quilt and pointed to the still bright star in the north, "This is called the North Star, which is usually in the desert, and people often take this as the direction when they are lost in the opposite direction." Holly nodded stunned.
Qing Qian suddenly became strange, "You, know this?"
Oh no, he forgot that Qing Qian was also there, he forgot that he was a fool with a bad mind.
He hurriedly touched his head and said shyly, "It was the sand fox who said it, and the sand fox said that as long as people are disoriented, they can go home if they find the North Star." Haha......"
Qing Qian relaxed his vigilance slightly, looking at the star that was slightly shining, and the last hope given to the lost people was only such a small star.
This light is not bright enough to compare with the moon on the side, but it can ignite hope in people's hearts.
"Interesting. She smiled, then looked at Holly, "Your fifth brother is right, as long as the North Star is still there, the lost people will be able to go home." ”
"That'...... Can Daddy, Mom, and Mei also go home?"
Yu Qian hurriedly said, "Of course, Shahu also said that the people in the world will not leave forever, as long as you remember them in your heart, they will live well in another world, and when we meet again, we will listen to everything you want to say." ”
Qing Qian's eyes looked at him, and there was no change, but it didn't look like what this fool would say......
