Chapter 37, meet a little Lori
On the last Friday of October, when the sky was still drizzling, Xi Qing bought a ticket to the island and set out on the trip alone.
The words he promised his parents that day made him look forward to this trip to the island.
The mother of the child is worried, and which son loves his mother differently! Isn't it what a son should do to make them happy!
After buying two bags of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water in the station square, Xi Qing got into the car. This time I came to the island, my mother boiled five eggs for herself, boiled peanuts, and stuffed several apples in the bag, but Xi Qing felt that it was too heavy, so she secretly put down her mother's apples.
After getting on the bus, Xi Qing found his seat, sat down and began to play with the maid he had just carved in his hand. Sitting next to him was a little Lori with half-length hair, wearing a white dress, a pretty nose under her big eyes, and her small lips looked red under the shirt of her white face. Jiang Hai sat on the seat next to the window, looked out the window for a while, and kept fiddling with the carvings in his hands, and the little girl kept looking out of the window and didn't speak.
After more than ten minutes, after the train started, Xi Qing asked, "Where are you going, little friend?" β
"I, I'm going to the island."
"What about your parents?"
"I came out alone." The little girl said proudly.
"You're not big this year, are you, going out alone at such a young age?"
"I'm thirteen years old, what, no?" Little Lori also seems to have opened the conversation.
"Big brother, what is this thing in your hand, I see you've been playing." Little Lori finally raised her doubts and pointed to the carving.
"Well, I like to carve, and this is a maid I sculpted. This time I went to the island, in addition to playing, I also had an important thing, which was to find the sea yellow wood. β
"Oh, you can carve, can I take a look?"
"Of course." Xi Qing handed the carving to the girl, and Xiao Lori began to observe the small carving seriously, but her beautiful eyes showed appreciation.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Meng Yao. Big brother, what about you? Meng Yao asked Xi Qing while looking at the carving.
"My name is Xi Qing."
"Remarkable." Xiao Meng Yao smiled, "I mean this carving." Meng Yao gave a thumbs up to Xi Qing, and her demeanor was on the carving, which showed that she admired this skill very much: "Your carving makes me think that you are too talented, big brother." β
"Do you like it?"
"I like it very much."
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Really, give it to me, thank you so much big brother."
"No thanks."
β¦β¦
The train was running rhythmically on the tracks, and the scene outside the window gradually changed from a brightly lit city to a pitch-black crop field, and the window was like a mirror, reflecting Xiao Meng Yao's facial features. She was a little worried, like a girl of this age, traveling alone, Xi Qing estimated that something must have happened.
"Little Meng Yao, my brother asked you, did you have an awkward relationship with your parents?" Seeing that Meng Yao didn't speak, Xi Qing asked.
"This is all seen by you, big brother, I quarreled with my mother, so I ran away from home and went to the island to relax."
Sure enough, Xi Qing guessed it: "You come out alone, your parents don't know, they will be worried, I think you should buy a ticket and go back quickly." β
"Go back? Hmph, no! Meng Yao pouted: "Big brother, don't persuade me, it's useless to persuade me, this time I must play for a few days and then go back..."
Xiao Meng Yao has a very stubborn temper, and it can be seen that this is not the first time she has run away from home.
Xi Qing said: "Actually, the eldest brother came out, didn't you tell sΓΉ just now that you collected sea yellow wood, then I will sue you again, I collected these woods just to make money for carving and give them to my parents." It's not easy for parents, worry about us..."
"Alright, don't say any more. I'm going to sleep. β
Meng Yao didn't like to listen to her eldest brother reason at all, she lay on the table and quickly fell asleep.
In the second half of the night, before the train had passed Jiangnan, Meng Yao's head had already fallen asleep on Xi Qing's shoulder.
At this time, the passengers in the carriage had already fallen asleep in various positions, Xi Qing had not slept yet, mainly because Meng Yao was leaning on herself, and Xi Qing's current posture was not simple.
Forced to lean against his back, but he vaguely saw the dark mountains outside the window slowly moving in the distance, a wave of sleepiness hit, Xi Qing finally put his head against Meng Yao's head, and also fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, when Xi Qing woke up again, Meng Yao was already playing a game with her mobile phone next to her.
After Xi Qing woke up, Meng Yao set his eyes on herself.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at me for? Xi Qing asked.
"Why are you snoring so loudly!" Meng Yao was full of disgust.
"Huh? Do I still snore when I sleep? Maybe I'm too tired from carving these days. I don't usually snore. Xi Qing hurriedly explained, full of black lines.
"It's really enough, I slept well, but the next second I felt the sound of a booming explosion, I thought something happened to the train, and quickly opened my eyes, but I heard your snoring booming in my ears, surging, scared me to death, QAQ!"
Only then did Xi Qing remember that he was sleeping on someone's head, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was too sleepy just now and couldn't wake you up, so I slept on your head." β
"I don't blame you, big brother, it's just that you really scared me!" The girl turned her head and said, "Okay, let's talk for a while when you wake up, big brother, what kind of rosewood are you looking for when you go to the island?" β
"That's right. Rosewood grows on islands, and this wood is very valuable and a great material for carving. β
"Yes, big brother, your carving skills are really good, I hope you can find these woods you want."
"Definitely."
β¦β¦ After Meng Yao and Xi Qing woke up, they were full of energy, which would open the conversation box and chat.
After chatting for an unknown amount of time, Xi Qing's stomach began to growl, and Xi Qing asked Meng Yao, are you hungry, do you want to make noodles to eat? stopped the little girl's machine gun mouth.
