Chapter 011: Bad News
"Delicious. Shi Lei couldn't stop eating, his eyes lit up.
Mo Jingxuan also had a big appetite and was full of praise. The shrimp were a little sick to their stomachs because of motion sickness, so they didn't eat much. Liluo ate slowly, pinching a little bit of everything, chewing slowly, looking as usual, I couldn't tell whether she liked it or not.
After dinner, Mo Jingxuan took the initiative to pay, but was stopped by Liluo, she has always been self-reliant and doesn't like to owe favors. Mo Jingxuan knew her temper, and she was not reluctant.
She walked to the cash register, where the proprietress was sorting out the bills, and when she saw her, she smiled.
"How's it going?"
"It's all discs. She smiled lightly, and she looked at her stomach and asked. "How many months has it been, and when is the due date?"
"It's almost there, it's still half a month. She touched her stomach with a happy face.
"The first few. ”
"The second, the eldest daughter, is five years old. ”
"This may be a son, and it makes up a good word. ”
The proprietress smiled when she heard this, and generously discounted them.
After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
At two o'clock in the morning, Liluo got up quietly and came to the balcony. It is a six-storey building, built along the river, the street lamps on the opposite side of the river are reflected in the sparkling river, the night breeze blows, the lights and shadows flicker, the microwave ripples, like a touch of silver starlight on the water flying, shaking, jumping.
Liluo looked at the river quietly, his face full of sadness, folded his hands to his forehead, and closed his eyes.
At this time, a blister rose in the center of the river, accompanied by a gurgling sound, rippling out of the water in a circle, and a black shadow loomed in the water, swimming back and forth, making waves of splashes, slowly, as if a little restless, splashing up clusters of water, hitting the surface of the river, churning around.
Liluo could sense the black shadow struggling, crying, and crying out heartbreakingly, "Mom...... Mom...... I'm looking for my mom. ”
"Why are you in the water?" she asked.
"At my grandmother's house, I watched my brother and sister go to the river to catch fish, and when I was walking on the shore, my shoes fell into the river and floated away. I also jumped down, and then I was washed away by the water, and I couldn't get up again, woo~~~~, sister, help me~~~ I've been in the water for many days, and no one came to save me. I miss my mom, I'm going home, woo~~~~. ”
"Where are you now?"
"In my grandmother's house, in a very deep pool, there are so many fish and grass in it that I can't get up, it's dark and cold, sister, save me. Woo~~~~I'm cold~~~"
"Well, don't be afraid, my sister will ask your parents to pick you up right away. Liluo slowly crossed his hands and clenched them, put his index fingers and mother fingers against his forehead, and made a few gestures in the air, flicking slightly towards the black shadow on the surface of the river, and soon, the black shadow on the surface of the water quieted down and slowly shrunk...... shrinks and finally disappears into the water.
The river was quiet again.
Liluo put down his hands, opened his eyes, and sighed faintly, unable to calm down for a long time.
Since a year ago, the glass bead that had been hanging around her neck was taken away, she had a strange disease on the night of the full moon, and then, inexplicably, she could psychic, and from time to time a spirit came to her and begged her for help. Mo Jingxuan's mother, Xiao Shrimp's grandmother, and now this poor little girl. She couldn't bear to refuse, and she couldn't.
Walking back indoors, the shrimp slept very deeply, and snored slightly. Liluo walked lightly to his bed and lay down silently, completely sleepy. During the meal, she felt that the boss's expression was very wrong, he must have known about it, and the proprietress was about to give birth, how could she stand such a big change and such a big stimulus? How could he bear to tell her such a cruel thing at this time? He could only hide it and endure the pain.
But how long can she hide it? The child is still lying under the water, unable to break free, unable to return home, no one knows where she is, no one looks for her, she is also pitiful! She misses her mother! Liluo's eyes are moist, and she doesn't dare to close her eyes, because as long as she closes them, the thin and petite body will appear in her mind, struggling and floating under the water, isolated and helpless. The pool of water was black and cold, and the water and grass were slippery and long, and they were tightly wrapped around her, encircling her, and she could not break free, and she was enduring great pain. How could she let it go, but how could she tell her parents?
This sudden bad news was enough to destroy an otherwise happy family of four, and she really couldn't bear to do it, but she had to do it. In this way, she opened her eyes until dawn in a distraught and heart-wrenching state all night.
Early the next morning, she got up early, greeted the morning sun and morning dew, and walked around the town. The morning air is fresh and humid, mixed with a faint smell of earth and woods.
The streets of this Guxian Town are not big, two rows of buildings are built on both sides of the two-lane wide cement road, the first floor is a pavement, selling daily necessities, clothing boutiques, hairdressers, photo studios, etc., upstairs to open a hotel or restaurant, or live people, and it will be done in a few minutes. After walking a whole street, continue on the road to another town, turn right and turn to the stone arch bridge, under which is the dark green river, which also flows to the river where you stayed last night. Liluo stepped over the small bridge and walked to the other side of the river.
On the other side of the river are also shops selling vegetables, fruits and melons, and there is a small, humble vegetable market that sells pigs, cows, chickens, ducks and other meats. The smell was not very good, and Liluo walked by briskly and did not stop. At the exit, many farmers grow their own vegetables and eggs, and use vegetable baskets to pick them up and sell them. Liluo saw the figure of the restaurant owner, who was bending down to pick up the greens.
He didn't seem to be in a good state of mind, the whole person was in a trance, and he forgot to collect the change he found when he gave the money. Putting the vegetables in the basket, he put on his shoulders, walked forward, bought some more fruit at a fruit stall, and then went on his way along the river, and after about a hundred meters there was a second bridge leading to the street on the other side. Passing by a boutique toy store, he paused, stunned as he watched a plush doll with Peppa Pig hanging on the door. Liluo knew that he must be thinking of his daughter, a character in the hottest cartoon at the moment, and many children liked it very much.
"Boss, buy groceries!" Liluo stepped forward, pretending to meet by chance.
"Oh yes. The boss was a little sluggish and looked at her in surprise.
"What are you looking at? Peppa Pig?" Lilo looked at him closely, as if trying to find a clue from his face.
"Well, no--- nothing. His expression was a little unnatural, obviously hiding something.
"Your daughter must love this Peppa Pig. Liluo quietly suggested. "Buy it. ”
The boss stared at her in amazement, as if to ask how did you know I had a daughter, but after seeing the other person's calm eyes, he dodged away and lowered his head.
