A square space, low and dark. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A candle flame flickered like a ghost. In front of me, there is a pair of immature little feet stretched forward, and at the feet, a music box is resting obliquely, and the lid of the box is open, playing a beautiful music of Ding Ding Dong.

The girl looked at the little fairy dancing in the music box at her feet, and opened a pair of severely jaundiced eyes: "Little fairy, did Mr. Little bring the little girl back again?" I heard the little girl talking, and the little gentleman getting angry, like breaking a cup, and I heard the girl crying, and then it seemed to be cooing...... Finally, there is the squeaky sound...... And then there was no sound...... Little fairy, is Mr. Xiao really angry this time? ”

The answer to her was still the soft and beautiful music, accompanied by the dim and fluttering candle flame: "Little fairy, my eyes are so bad that I can almost see you clearly, do you think I will become blind?" ”

At this time, in this small and low space, a low door opened with a creak, and a slender figure walked in with a bowl of noodles: "Baby, it's time to eat." A hoarse voice called softly, and the figure hunched over to the girl.

"Little sir! Aren't you angry? ”

"No, don't get angry when you see the baby." The slender figure sat on the floor in front of the girl, feeding her the noodles one bite at a time.

The girl ate slowly, but tried to eat every bite, and from time to time showed an innocent smile to the figure in front of her: "Little sir, I can't see your appearance clearly, my eyes are broken." ”

"Baby, your eyes are beautiful, they won't break, your eyes are golden now, more beautiful than any other girl!"

"No, little sir, your eyes are the most beautiful, like the sea." The girl said immaturely.

"Oh? Have you ever seen the sea? ”

"No, my mother told me a story before, "The Daughter of the Sea", in my heart, the sea looks like the eyes of the little gentleman."

The figure in front of him trembled slightly, his back arched high, as if he was in the midst of the hardest struggle, which had been going on for a long time, only this time, it seemed more intense.

After a long time, the girl finished eating the noodles, but the figure did not leave immediately as usual, but sat quietly for a moment and asked the girl, "Baby, if I draw a picture on your body, where do you want to draw it, and what do you want to draw?" ”

"The baby wants to draw a plum blossom red goldfish on his ankle, with a big tail and sparkling eyes."

"Why goldfish? And why on the ankle? ”

"Because ......," said the girl, pursing her lips shyly, pausing, and then speaking, "because I almost drowned when I used to learn to swim, and if I drew a goldfish on my ankle, I won't drown in the future." Goldfish have glass-bead-like eyes that allow me to see more clearly......"

The figure of the man in front of him trembled again, this time more violently, only a gurgling cough could be heard in his throat, and after a long time, he stretched out a long, thin and white hand to the girl: "Baby, go out with me, I will draw the goldfish you said on your ankle." ”

The little girl was stunned, as if she didn't understand: "Little sir! I! Can you really get out of this room? ”

"Well, don't be afraid, come with me."

The little girl rose for the first time in a long time, but she nearly fell, and at last the man took her in his arms and stepped out towards the small door.

Outside of this room, there is an even darker space.

On the floor of this space, leaning against the corner, the girl saw many little girls of her own age, only they were lying motionless on the ground at this time, and some of them even stared at the ceiling with their eyes open.

"Little sir, it turns out that those little girls have not left here. Why did they stay still? Don't they have their own rooms? ”

The man's hoarse and cold voice sounded, and he said dryly, "They don't look like babies, they don't deserve their own room!" ”

"Are they asleep?"

"Yes!"

"Little sir, let's be lighter, don't wake them up."

The man let out a "hmm" and hugged the girl tighter, his body trembling again, and another gurgling gasp in his throat, but in a matter of moments, he recovered, and carried the girl to a large leather couch at the end of the room, and placed her gently on it.

Above their heads, there was a bright incandescent lamp hanging, the girl's eyes were tingling, and her hands were raised and she rubbed her eyes vigorously: "Little sir, my eyes hurt so much!" ”

The man immediately panicked, took out a pair of blindfolds from under the leather couch, hurriedly put them on the girl's head, covered her eyes, and said softly: "What now? Does it still hurt? ”

"It's better now, but it seems like there's a lot of water coming out of my eyes."

The man took a sharp breath and said in a hoarse voice, "That's tears." After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and gently stroked the long hair on the back of the girl's head: "I'll start drawing for you now, it will hurt a little ......"

"Hmm."

There was darkness in front of him, and there was a squeaky sound in the darkness, and there was a tingling sensation on the outside of the girl's left ankle: "Little sir, it doesn't hurt at all, it's a little itchy." ”

The man smiled sadly and said, "That's a goldfish swimming on your ankle, and its tail touched you, so it's tickling." ”

"Is it true? Then I won't drown if I go swimming after that? ”

"Yes, not drowning...... I won't drown......" as if talking to herself, and a plum blossom red goldfish with a flower-like tail appeared on the girl's left ankle, and the goldfish was as vivid as the real thing, with a pair of eyes like golden glass beads.

When all this was done, the man shed a tear and gently dripped it on the goldfish's eyes: "Baby, do you remember your name?" ”

The girl turned her face sideways, as if trying to remember, but shook her head and said, "I'll call it baby." ”

"Good...... Baby...... I'll take you to a place, and when you get to that place, you won't cry or make trouble, promise me, okay? ”

"Little sir, where are you going to take me?"

The man could not hold back any longer, covered his face with his hands, sobbed in a low voice, and a hoarse cry came out of his throat, and he cried like this for a long time, before he regained his composure again, and said only four words to the girl: "Send you home." ”
