Chapter 6: The Story of Little Water (1)
As the sun sets, the warmth of the sun gradually dissipates.
Pedestrians are in a hurry in the city, and people are always busy, busy going to work in the morning and going home in the evening.
"Big brother, what are you looking at?"
The kappa looked at Chen Beibei and asked suspiciously.
At this time, the three of them were sitting on the embankment by the river.
The river was dyed red by the setting sun, and Chen Beibei looked at the red river and slowly flowed into the distance.
"Didn't see anything, let's go home."
The job is still the same, and Chen Beibei still can't make money.
"Master, if there is any difficulty, you can say it, and we will help you."
The three-tailed fox's coquettish body leaned against the railing beside him, and his voice was as soft as ever.
Chen Beibei didn't want to tell them these things, monsters, they should live carefree.
"Sister Girl, I don't have any difficulties, you don't have to worry."
The sudden appearance of the system and the two monsters really made Chen Beibei's life less boring.
However, it also made Chen Beibei's burden even greater.
After leaving Luoying City, Chen Beibei and the others returned to Qinghe Town.
When passing by the river where I had met the kappa before, there were several women washing clothes.
"Xiaoshui, why did you drown in this river?"
Chen Beibei hugged Xiaoshui and asked her.
"Big brother, I don't want to say ......" Xiao Shui's expression was very aggrieved.
Chen Beibei wants to learn about the past of Kappa, a little girl, drowned in a river.
What kind of reason is this, Chen Beibei wants to know.
"Look, that girl with Chen Beibei doesn't look like the previous child of the Chunxue family?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Chunxue's child was already so old ten years ago."
"Don't talk about it, it's getting dark, it's scary......"
Chen Beibei heard the discussion of those women, and Xiaoshui also heard it.
Chunxue is a woman in her forties who opened a noodle restaurant in Qinghe Town.
She is a very capable woman.
Chen Beibei has lived in Qinghe Town for so long, and he is still familiar with some people in the town.
Kappa's head rubbed in Chen Beibei's arms: "Big brother, let's go home quickly......"
Chen Beibei knew that Kappa might have something to do with Aunt Chunxue.
"Okay, let's go home."
Xiaoshui didn't want to talk about it, so Chen Beibei didn't talk about it.
It's just that Chen Beibei still has to understand the story behind this.
Along the way, Xiao Shui's mood became very low, and he should have remembered some bad memories.
Winter nights are always cold, and people take refuge under the covers early.
Chen Beibei and they didn't meet anyone along the way.
"Rustling ......"
The sound of the plastic bag rubbing is a little brittle, but not harsh.
"Big brother, there seems to be something ...... there"
Kappa whispered, a little scared.
Chen Beibei followed the sound and saw that the street lights in Qinghe Town had been many years old and were not very bright, so Chen Beibei didn't see it very clearly.
The green trash can, a black figure, seemed to be rummaging for something.
"Chen Beibei, you're back."
The black shadow took a few steps forward, and it happened to be illuminated by the street lamp, it was Brother Zhao.
The events of the day appeared in Chen Beibei's mind, making him feel a little guilty.
"Brother Zhao, I haven't slept yet."
"Well, I'll sleep ...... later"
Brother Zhao used to have a wife, but later, he ran away with someone else.
This is what Chen Beibei heard from the people in Qinghe Town.
"Brother Zhao, I'll go back first, you should also go home early to rest."
When Chen Beibei left, he turned around and glanced at it.
On a winter night, in the dim light, Brother Zhao went back to the trash can and rummaged through.
……
"Xiaoshui, I'll buy you a case of Coke."
Chen Beibei knew that what Brother Zhao was looking for was undoubtedly some empty bottles.
This is his main source of income.
However, there are not many fewer people who buy water to drink in winter than in summer.
"Big brother, I've drunk a lot today......"
If you buy Coke, firstly, you can let Kappa upgrade to Level 2 as soon as possible, and secondly, you can let Brother Zhao pick up some more empty bottles.
"It's okay, you can put it in your room and drink it when you want."
A bottle of Coke gives Kappa 100 XP, and Kappa had drunk seven bottles before.
Now there are still 300 experience points left, and you can upgrade to level 2.
There are a total of twelve bottles of Coke in the box that Chen Beibei bought, which is enough for Kappa to reach the second level.
One of the benefits of winter is that you don't have to take a shower every day.
Chen Beibei and the others returned to their rental house and lay directly on the bed.
After a tiring day, the bed is still the most comfortable.
Log in to the Onmyoji, sign in, meet demons, dojos, bounty seals......
Timo Jr.: "Mo Xue, you're here......"
Mo Xue: "Hmm. ”
Timo Jr.: "I didn't see you today, what are you busy with?"
Mo Xue: "I took the kappa and the three-tailed fox to eat." ”
Timo Jr.: "Mo Xue, you haven't woken up yet?" ”
Chen Beibei smiled helplessly, Timo still didn't believe himself.
But if you don't experience this kind of thing, it's hard to believe it.
"Big brother, aren't you sleeping yet?"
The kappa hugged the three-tailed fox and asked Chen Beibei.
It should be the light on the mobile phone screen that makes it difficult for kappa to sleep.
Mo Xue: "Teemo, I'm going to sleep, I'll see you tomorrow ......"
Timo Jr.: "Well, Moxue, good night!" ”
Chen Beibei wanted to take a picture of the kappa, but he ran into the body of the three-tailed fox.
The three-tailed fox has a fiery red fur, which is unusually soft and silky, and feels very good.
"Master, take the ...... away"
The voice of the three-tailed fox sounded, and although it was in the state of a fox, it still couldn't be touched.
Chen Beibei glanced at Xiao Shui, and the three-tailed fox curled up in her arms.
It should be very comfortable.
Chen Beibei looked at the two of them and whispered, "Sister Concubine, Xiaoshui, good night." ”
……
Night, always peaceful.
However, some people still have trouble sleeping.
Little water is.
Even lying in a comfortable bed, it's the same as it was in those ten years.
She kept thinking about a question.
"Mom, why did you abandon yourself......"
Did you do something wrong?
Or do you eat too much on your own and your mother can't afford it?
Or, the memory of that day is fake?
Xiao Shui's age is too young to figure out such an esoteric question.
A soft sobbing sounded, and the three-tailed fox glanced up at Xiao Shui.
Xiao Shui realized that the three-tailed fox might have been woken up by himself, so he held back his voice.
In the dark night, tears were silently retained......
The three-tailed fox didn't ask what was wrong with Xiaoshui, nor did he say anything.
Because the three-tailed fox knows that Xiaoshui wants to hide his story.
Just like her.
Every monster that exists in this world has its own story.
Because, youkai exist because of obsession.
