Chapter 48: The Touching of Anime is All About Stunts (Part I)
"That's what happened...... It's horrible. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the old woman heard what Liu Xia was telling behind her, a worried look appeared on her face, and she noticed that Shihua's leg was still wrapped in bandages.
"Although her injury is not serious, the pain will not be less, and I suggest that she should not go out for the past two days." Following the old woman, Liu Xia walked into their house with Shihua in her arms, and said flatly.
The old man didn't care at all about what he was doing to his granddaughter, and the men and women in question seemed to ignore it...... In short, there is an inexplicable weirdness.
The old woman patted her chest lightly, took off a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to her and placed them in front of Liu Xia: "Then today is really thanks to this gentleman, this kind of thing is scary just to hear about it." ”
"Thank you." Liu Xia responded politely, and then took the lead in taking off his shoes and stepped forward to put on his slippers, and then helped Shihua to walk up: "Actually, these are not big deals, whether I am there or not, someone will come to the rescue." ”
In the fierce ideological struggle just now, Liu Xia finally succumbed to the old woman. Although he didn't really want to 'come in and sit' at first, he really couldn't resist her enthusiasm. And...... In fact, Liu Xia herself is still very curious about the house of Little Bird Tour.
The old woman glanced at Shihua, who was expressionless without saying a word, shook her head a little helplessly, and then reluctantly put on a smile and said to Liu Xia: "Shihua must have caused a lot of trouble to this gentleman." ”
"You're welcome." Liu Xia's glasses suddenly flashed a light: "The building side will be fully responsible for this accident." Because Shihua was injured, I also signed the compensation agreement for her this time. However, the exact amount of compensation is still in dispute, so you can notify me if you need help. ”
I don't know if it was because I heard that I had the money or for other reasons, but the smile on the old woman's face suddenly softened. Her eyes looked at Liu Xia's face for a while, then at his hand holding Shihua, and then at his dress, and nodded with satisfaction: "Really?" So what's so embarrassing......"
"Oh? Are there any guests coming? ”
An old voice sounded, and Liu Xia's eyes immediately moved to the source of the sound. I saw an old man dressed in home short-sleeved standing there straight. Although his body is relatively short, it gives people a very tough feeling, and there is a momentum of not being angry and self-righteous all over his body, as if standing somewhere is an immovable Buddha.
"This is a friend of Shihua, and he has helped Shihua a lot today."
The old woman turned around and introduced with a smile on her face. However, the old man's red eyes, which were the same as the ten flowers, stared straight at Liu Xia holding his granddaughter's hand, and muttered: "Since we are friends, come in and sit." ”
After he said this, he didn't mean to receive guests at all, so he turned around and left here, leaving Liu Xia and the others in place.
"This is Shihua's grandfather...... His personality is like this, please don't take it to heart. A little worried that the old man's temper would make Liu Xia dissatisfied, the old grandmother hurriedly explained to him, and then said with a smile: "You sit down first, I'll make a cup of tea." ”
"I'm in trouble."
Although the young man seemed cold, he was actually a very polite person. And both the dress and the appearance are very decent...... Not bad. ’
The old grandmother carefully evaluated Liu Xia in her heart, but the kind smile on her face did not change at all. She said a word to Shihua, and then turned directly to the kitchen.
Speaking of which, maybe it has something to do with the old man who doesn't have a very good temper, except for the sofa and coffee table, the place where Shika lives is a typical traditional Japanese home, if you want him to say anything bright...... Liu Xia is not a native, he has limited knowledge of this style of home, according to his evaluation, it can only be said that this is a fairly warm home.
"Please be seated." Shihua, who had not spoken before, finally fulfilled the obligation of a master, and after she said this, she walked to the sofa in front of her, but she didn't know if she said it to herself or to Liu Xia just now.
And seeing that the other party was limping and trying to be strong, Liu Xia could only follow up to support her, and Shihua did not react to his actions at all. It wasn't until she sat down that Liu Xia let go.
"Isn't your sister home?" Sitting on a sofa opposite Shihua, Liu Xia lifted her glasses and asked casually, "I heard that she had an unpleasant fight with you recently." ”
After Liu Xia sat down, Shihua leaned back on the sofa in a very lazy posture, and her right leg comfortably carried on the injured left leg, and the strained part was not affected at all: "She's upstairs, do you want me to call her." ”
Although Shihua's posture seems casual, it is actually calculated everywhere, the legs that are put together are compact and do not leak a trace of the scene that should not be revealed, the right hand supports his head, and the hair coiled behind the head does not feel a little scattered, so the scenery and the flat look on her face, Liu Xia suddenly felt that Shihua did not seem to be so simple.
He just asked this question casually, even if he looked for Liuhua, there was nothing to say. Quietly dodging his gaze, Liu Xia shook his head gently: "No need." ”
"I've never asked how old you are." Shihua maintained the posture of supporting her head with her hands, her red eyes stared straight into Liu Xia's eyes, and she suddenly asked such a question that felt inexplicable no matter how she looked at it.
Liu Xia suddenly remembered that Shihua in front of the hospital seemed to have asked about this kind of similar thing. Speaking of which, the two have known each other for so long, and it seems that they have never communicated with each other about this kind of personal information.
Thinking of this, he simply relaxed, leaned back in his chair and hugged his arms: "According to our country's algorithm, I am twenty-three years old this year. What about you. ”
"Twenty-three years old, I always thought you were underage." She nodded, but there was no surprise in her eyes: "I'm sixteen years old. ”
“……”
Liu Xia met Shihua's eyes expressionlessly, and Shihua also replied to her bland gaze without fear. No one spoke, no one spoke. The atmosphere froze a little for a while.
‘…… It turned out that he was only sixteen years old. ’
Liu Xia felt a little ashamed of her previous misjudgment, and she didn't know what to say.
He...... He believed it......
"I actually believed it." I don't know if I heard what Liu Xia was thinking, and a sneer suddenly came out of Shihua's mouth. But it was just a sneer, and the corners of her mouth still didn't change a little: "It's a lie to you." ”
"I see."
"Actually, I'm fifteen."
"I can't see it."
"What about fourteen?"
"Terrible."
"That's ten years old."
"I don't think there's any need for us to talk."
……
"The two children had a great time."
Shihua's grandmother walked over with a tray and a smile on her face. She gently put down the teapot and teacup in her hand, placed them in front of Liu Xia and Shihua, poured the tea, and said, "It's rare to see Shihua's interest so high recently." ”
"It's just because of the injury." Without waiting for Liu Xia to respond, Shihua directly spoke first, and then directly changed the topic: "Where did Liuhua go?" ”
'I just asked you...... The topic shifts too obviously. ’
Liu Xia twitched the corner of her mouth silently, but the grandmother didn't know. She straightened up, and a look of helplessness appeared on her face: "I just quarreled with your grandfather again, and now I'm angry in the house." ”
Quarrel again?
Hearing this word, Liu Xia found that there were some unknown stories in Xiao Niaoyou's home.
Hearing this, Shihua glanced at Liu Xia with slanted eyes, and then lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
"There you go."
The old grandmother didn't seem to hear what Shihua was saying, and the girl who had just suddenly said this shifted her gaze to Liu Xia's face: "I mean, you go." ”
"Where to go."
"Liuhua is there."
'What should I do at this time?' Liu Xia was a little helpless in her heart, but it was only a little. Although I don't know what the meaning of Shihua's words is, she always has her own reason.
Liu Xia looked at the old grandmother who didn't know the truth over there, and then met Shihua's eyes: "Where is she." ”
"Upstairs." Shihua pointed to the staircase behind Liu Xia: "Turn left upstairs, and the strangest room is." ”
Speaking of which, the old man over there reacted, and the helpless look on her face became more and more serious: "Shihua, this gentleman is a guest." ”
"It's okay." This time, without waiting for Shihua to explain, Liu Xia stood up directly: "Actually, I am still very familiar with Liuhua." ”
"Familiar?" The old grandmother was stunned, looked at Liu Xia in confusion, and then looked back at Shihua, who had no explanation at all, and finally could only sigh.
"Then I'm sorry for you."
……
Ten Flowers has only one description of Rokuka's room as 'the strangest room', which shows that this room must be different. Standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, there were many empty rooms that seemed to be prepared for guests, and the strangest room Liu Xia could see at a glance - the bright five-pointed star array was strange if it couldn't be seen.
Compared to the bright lights on the first floor, the second floor is dark and quiet. The midsummer night is obviously very hot, but the moonlight hanging high in the night sky is extremely cold. Faint, soft. Like flowing water, through the window, quietly pouring on the windowsill, draped over the walls, and sprinkled on the floor.
The gap under the door was pitch black, and there was no light. Liu Xia, who had stopped in front of the door for a long time, listened carefully to the faint whimper in the door, then raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door, and the sound in the room that was already vague stopped instantly, as if it was hiding its ears and stealing the bell.
Seeing this, Liu Xia remembered the rumors of the quarrel she had heard just now, and knew that this was a child who was starting to lose his temper. In fact, when there is some dispute, although the children are willing to lock themselves in the house and not let anyone in, in fact, in their hearts, they very much hope that someone will come in and comfort them. But in order to show their toughness, they like to do this kind of thing against their will. You go in, and they will ask you out with a cold face. If they don't go in, they will feel unconsciously sad and feel as if they have been abandoned.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia directly put his hand on the doorknob and pulled it down hard. However, with the sound of the door lock clicking, the gate was directly locked.
"Go away! I don't want you to come! ”
Xiao Liuhua's milky voice came from the other side of the door angrily with a hint of grievance. However, inexplicably, Liu Xia suddenly wanted to laugh when she heard her childish words.
"It's me." The smile in his heart couldn't affect the expression on his face, he opened his mouth flatly, and gently pressed the doorknob a few times: "Open the door." ”
"Contractor?"
Liuhua's little face crying like a cat was suddenly stunned, as if it was a little incredulous, and then the corners of her mouth irrepressibly raised a smile. She subconsciously wanted to go over and unlock the door, but when her hand was raised in the air, she stopped abruptly.
"Not really!" The previous smile on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and an emotional flush appeared on her face: "You're not a contractor!" The Covenanter who has fused the Evil King's Holy Soul has never appeared again when the Evil King's True Eye needs help! ”
Liu Xia pressed the doorknob a few times, but the door still didn't react at all, seeing this, he stopped his wasted efforts: "I received your call for help, but there was a traffic jam on the road." ”
Liuhua is a secondary disease and not an idiot, she will no longer believe Liu Xia's nonsense: "It's not!" As a saint from another world, it is impossible for my contractor to be troubled by traffic jams! ”
"No, you're getting me wrong." Using the Dafa of Fooling again, Liu Xia said solemnly: "Actually, halfway through, I met a Holy Temper who could not see the boundary. ”
"What! Have the contractors and the Holy Temperers come into contact head-on!! As soon as she heard that it was about the Holy Conditioner, Xiao Liuhua seemed to have forgotten the trouble of the traffic jam just now, and her face instantly put on a look of surprise like a trick, and she couldn't wait to unlock the door: "And then!" What happened! ”
Liu Xia heard the unlocking sound from the opposite side of the door, and naturally pushed the doorknob of his subordinates. As soon as the door opened, a milky scent accompanied by a smell that seemed to be mint shampoo came to my face.
"I fought with the Holy Temper and then defeated her." Speaking casually, Liu Xia's feet stepped in directly.
And Xiao Liuhua, who was blocking the door, heard these obviously perfunctory words, and she felt as if she had been deceived.
"Impossible! How could the Holy Priest be defeated by you unscathed! ”
Liuhua's room was not as strange as Liu Xia imagined, in her mind, a little girl of this age was the last moment of preparation before youth, but in her room, there was no sense of color that a little girl should have. Carpets, beds, desks...... Everything is old-fashioned.
"I wasn't unscathed, in fact all the injuries I suffered were internal." After drawing a happy end to the reason for opening the door, Liu Xia lowered her head and set her eyes on Xiao Liuhua's face. At this moment, Xiao Liuhua was wearing green pajamas that Liu Xia had never seen before, and compared to the student's school uniform, Liuhua's pajamas were also nothing new. The only thing that's a little better, I'm afraid, is that it finally has a little color.
Listening to Liu Xia's casual reasoning, Xiao Liuhua's blue eyes flashed with a serious look. She lowered her head and thought carefully for a while, and then suddenly, as if she had figured out something, she threw herself on Liu Xia's lap without warning, stood on tiptoe, and barely hugged his waist.
Liu Xia was not prepared for the child's sudden movements, but even so, his face was still very flat. I saw that Xiao Liuhua was looking up at Liu Xia with a look of surprise on her face at the moment, looking straight at Liu Xia with her little head, and her big eyes were constantly flashing: "In other words, the contractor defeated the Holy Temperer and broke into the headquarters of the Authority to save me!" ”
If I take you out, it's still ......
Liu Xia lifted her glasses, gently pressed Liuhua's two delicate little shoulders, and stared at her eyes seriously: "I can't take you away yet." ”
I don't know why, this sentence that originally had a lot of room for explanation was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the look of surprise on Liuhua's face immediately stiffened, and the originally trembling dull hair on the top of his head instantly withered.
Seeing that this child's emotions were so easy to fluctuate, Liu Xia wanted to explain, but Liuhua suddenly pushed him away and took several steps back.
"Liar."
She kept her head down, her dark blue hair obscuring her expression. Even in the bright moonlight, it was still dim.
"All liars!"
Liuhua's mouth whispered, and her milky voice trembled a little. Immediately afterward, her shoulders began to rise. But even so, she didn't make a sound. Only tears, falling in a flutter, wet the carpet and bringing a deep and shallow imprint.
Her emotional outburst failed to surprise Liu Xia. The child was already in a low period before, and his emotions were very easy to cause outbursts. Coupled with the fact that Liu Xia couldn't understand the meaning of the two words in the child's mouth in time, it is not surprising that he can make this appearance.
Liu Xia is the most helpless for a girl to cry, even if it is this kind of child. He sighed helplessly in his heart, and the hand that originally wanted to hold the frame of his glasses simply took off his glasses and kicked them in his pocket. Without the cover of her glasses, Liu Xia's cold brown eyes were exposed to the air without reservation. He stepped forward to Xiao Liuhua and crouched down on one knee, one hand resting on her constantly swaying shoulder.
