Chapter 6 Playgrounds
After several days of running around for interviews and having to take care of Xiaohui, Sister Yan's body was finally dragged down, and she coughed and snorted constantly. Fortunately www.biquge.info it is the last day of the interview, that is, the free day of the reporters, on this day, they can arrange their own time, and they only need to come back in the evening to participate in the send-off banquet.
Wu Xi saw that Sister Yan was uncomfortable and had difficulty even getting up, so she took the initiative to take care of Xiaohui. After she helped Sister Yan buy the medicine, she pulled Xiaohui out lightly.
"Xiaohui, what do you want to eat and play today, tell Auntie, Auntie will satisfy you. Xiaohui, why are you crying? Don't cry, auntie hug. Wu Xi hugged Xiao Hui's warm little body in his arms and helped her wipe away her tears.
"I miss my mother, she coughs so badly in the morning, Auntie, my mother won't die, right?"
"No, Auntie assures you, Mom only needs a good rest for a day, and she will become vigorous again."
"Aunt Wu Xi, do you miss your mother too?"
Wu Xi's heart suddenly fell downward, "Auntie, there is no mother." β
"Why, my mom said everyone has a mom, and we were all born from mom's womb, hehe." Xiao Hui returned to her naughty nature and poked Wu Xi's stomach with her fingers.
"Auntie jumped out of the stone, it's Sun Wukong."
"Really? Sun Wukong is very powerful, the monsters are afraid of him, if I meet a monster, will you protect me? β
"Of course."
The two laughed and walked to the door of a park. "Auntie, there must be a playground here, and I like it the most." Xiao Hui said like a fish and slid off Wu Xi's body, and ran inside without looking back. "Xiaohui, wait, don't run so fast." Wu Xi followed her small figure and ran inside, but when they approached the gate, an inexplicable panic suddenly fell from the sky, weighing heavily on her heart like a boulder.
It is an old park, and the red faΓ§ade has been mottled by high winds and rain due to years of unmaintained maintenance. The slightly concealed gate is rusty, and through the cracks in the door, you can faintly see the towering trees and broken stone sculptures scattered on the grass. This is similar to the park I used to go to when I was a child, Wu Xi suddenly discovered the source of her panic, but before she could think about it, Xiaohui suddenly got in through the crack in the door. Wu Xi also hurriedly squeezed his body in to chase her, and at this moment, a roar suddenly came from behind: "Hey, are you two trying to evade the ticket?" β
The two of them were so frightened by this voice that they stopped, Wu Xi turned around and found a white-haired old man limping over with a cane: "What, do you still want to bully me like those children?" "I'm sorry, I didn't know I had to buy a ticket here." She said as she pulled money out of her bag and handed it to him. "Remember, close at five, and if you don't come out before five, you'll be locked inside." The old man took the money and muttered away. "Excuse me, is there any entertainment for children to play with?" "Yes, just follow the main road, but there are not many people who can play."
Wu Xi and Xiao Hui walked inside along Lin **, but they didn't expect that the area of this park was not small, they walked for about half an hour before they finally found the playground. But is this still a playground? The place, which was enclosed by a ring of iron railings, was overgrown with weeds, had little equipment, and most of it was dilapidated. It seems that the janitor is still modest, there are few places where you can play, this is simply a pile of broken copper and iron.
But such a desolate scene did not reduce Xiao Hui's interest in the slightest, she screamed excitedly and ran inside, and then turned back and shouted at Wu Xi: "Auntie, come here, there is a merry-go-round in the innermost part of this." β
Merry-go-round, hearing these four words, Wu Xi felt that the blood in his whole body suddenly froze, and his heart seemed to be pinched by a cold hand, suffocating terribly. That desperate premonition of fate would fall on her heart again, so deep, so deep. "Xiaohui," Wu Xi called her loudly, "Let's go, Auntie will take you to a better park, this merry-go-round seems to have been broken for a long time and won't turn." She didn't lie, the whole merry-go-round looked like a yellowed old photograph, long since faded to its former brilliant colors, and the paint on the white horse's body peeled off a lot, revealing the black inner core inside, but only the black eyes stared hard, and they were full of energy. But this look is so out of place with everything around it, so it looks even more weird.
"Let's go." With the sound of a switch behind him, the Trojan horse in front of him suddenly began to squeak and turn. Wu Xi subconsciously turned his head, but in front of him, there was nothing except a few sparrows flapping their wings and flying out of the grass. How so? How could the switch turn on on its own, as if it was deliberately contradicting her. No, there must be something abnormal here, they have to get out of here.
"Xiaohui Xiaohui." Wu Xi called out to her vigorously. But the mischievous Xiaohui had already climbed onto a wooden horse, hugged its neck, and shouted excitedly: "Oh, drive." "Xiaohui, this wooden horse is too dirty, let's play in another place." "Auntie, it's okay to play once, you can come up too." Wu Xi knew that she couldn't be defeated, so he had to use the strategy of delaying the army: "Xiaohui, that auntie will sit with you for two laps, and we will leave after the sitting, okay?" "Okay, great." Hearing her promise, Wu Xi hurriedly sat on a wooden horse behind Xiao Hui, and then took out a paper talisman that Xu Xing gave her before leaving from her bag, and gently pasted it on Xiao Hui's back.
"The merry-go-round spins and turns, and I can't stop round and round, and I can't go home again." Xiao Hui in front of her suddenly sang a ballad in a milky voice, and Wu Xi felt in his heart, "Xiao Hui, you...... Where did you learn this song? "In my dream, didn't I tell you and my mother? Those kids have been singing this song. β
"The merry-go-round is booming, I can't find my mother anymore, and I don't know where my head has gone." Wu Xi sang the second half of the song with Xiaohui in his heart. The headless children gathered around the merry-go-round, singing the song over and over again, and at the end, they stretched out their hands to the seven-year-old Xiao Wu Xi: "Come, come and play with us." β
"Xiaohui, let's go." Wu Xi jumped down from the wooden horse that was still spinning, and picked up Xiao Hui, who was still humming softly, "We have to go." As if frightened by her frightened eyes, Xiaohui didn't protest, and let Wu Xi carry her out of the squeaky and rotating wooden horse. Wu Xi held Xiao Hui in one hand, put the other hand into his cross-body backpack, and tightly grasped the horns of the Gu Eagle, the cold killing weapon that once made her shudder now became her only source of strength, supporting her to walk towards the park gate step by step.
There is no one in the huge park except for her and Xiaohui, and the people who were walking and exercising just now seem to have disappeared out of thin air, what about people? Where have they all gone? As if she could see what she was thinking, Xiaohui suddenly pointed to the bushes in the distance and said to Wu Xi, "Auntie, there is a person there." "Great, Wu Xi was overjoyed, looked in the direction of her finger, and then stiffened. She understood why Xiaohui said that there was a person there, she was not as fearful as her, so she would not tell her specifically just because she saw someone, unless he was very special.
