"Mom, is Dad still back?"

A little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked the woman in front of her slowly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yun, Dad will be back in a while." The woman looked out of the window barred by the curtains, and her worry was palpable, but she turned her back and did not let the little girl see it.

"Sleep a little longer, and when you open your eyes again, Dad will be back!" The woman forced a smile and coaxed the little girl.

"Really!"

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, just close your eyes and see if Dad is in your mind~"

"Hmmm! Then I'll give it a try! ”

After a while, the little girl opened her eyes in surprise and quickly glanced at her father's figure.

"Hmm...... Mom, I opened my eyes, why hasn't Dad come back yet......"

The little girl's voice could not hide the sense of loss.

The woman smiled: "Silly child, because you are not asleep, Dad will not appear until you are asleep~ He also wants to surprise you!" ”

"Hee-hee, then I'll wait for Dad's surprise~" The little girl fell asleep innocently.

The woman frowned, and the little girl's father had gone out to work, and had said that he would come back as soon as possible, but ......

She looked outside and thought to herself, don't be stupid enough to rush back! Stubborn!

Thinking about it, she also felt a little tired, squinted and fell asleep.

"Oooo

The little girl heard a knock at the door in a daze, and sat up, sleepless.

Is Daddy back?

She ran to the door with joy, her little hands still out of reach of the switch on the door, and she asked, "Is it Daddy?" ”

No one answered her, but the knocking was more violent, and the door shook with it, shaking off the dust on the top.

She was stunned, but immediately remembered her mother's words, and her father wanted to surprise her!

Daddy for sure!

The little girl laboriously moved the chair to the door, snorted and climbed up, just turned on the switch, a strong force suddenly came from outside the door, directly overturned the chair, knocked the girl away, hit something on the back of the head, her eyes were dark, and she was unconscious.

……

"Eh, Li Rui, redhead, do you see someone over there?" Mingzhu suddenly pointed to a dark corner and said.

They squinted and looked over there, as if they could see a dark shadow dangling.

"Why don't we go over and have a look?"

The two agreed, we have disguise, we are not afraid of heaven and earth. They jumped a little closer to where they were, leaned against the wall, and looked sideways.

Originally, they were all going to go back, their bags were full, and when they encountered something new, they were idle anyway, so let's take a look.

This bird demon is outside, and there are others who dare to come out and wave?

They looked at that position intently, Li Rui was at the bottom, Mingzhu was at the top, and the three heads were arranged vertically, looking terrifying.

Sure enough, there was a figure moving over there, and he moved cautiously, slower than a snail, for fear of attracting the attention of the harpy.

Seeing the right time, the figure swooped out, but the speed was very slow, it should be an ordinary person, and he wanted to run into a shadow on the opposite side.

"Ang~"

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, but he was still discovered by a bird demon, and the bird demon rushed towards him with a chirp.

He also found the bird demon, his steps became a little flustered, and he rolled on the spot at the moment of crisis, avoiding the attack of the bird demon, but something fell from his body and was caught by the bird demon.

The man panicked, the thing seemed to be very important, he even panicked and stopped moving, clenched his fists and stomped his feet, and finally picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it at the harpy.

The harpy easily flashed, but it was enraged, and an ordinary person with no power to tie the harpy dared to provoke it, it chirped loudly twice, and two harpies shook down from the sky, and they flew towards that person.

The man seemed to have given up, and looked at the bird demon flying towards him in despair, he was wearing a hat, and he still had his back to Li Rui and them, so they didn't know what this person looked like, but they saw crystal teardrops dripping, shining with moonlight.

Li Rui took the momentum, flew out with a kick, and arrived next to the person before the bird demon attacked, the knife in his hand was raised high, and he turned a knife circle, and in an instant, the two bird demons died unexpectedly, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The onlooker was startled and hurriedly flapped its wings, trying to raise its head and chirp.

A "whoosh" sound sounded through the air, and a dagger pierced through its eyes, and the harpy did not have time to scream, stopped its activities, and fell straight to the ground.

Mingzhu and the redhead walked out wearing the corpse of the harpy.

The man hurriedly ran to the place where the last bird demon was, Li Rui grabbed him and whispered, "You don't want to die?!" It's going to be stoned to death! ”

He twisted his body and forcibly got rid of Li Rui, and his hood was pulled off by Li Rui, a middle-aged uncle who looked quite energetic.

The bird demon fell quickly and smashed to the ground, the man didn't catch up, he screamed sadly, and Li Rui saw that there was still something in the bird demon's claws, which was a small piece of jade, which was broken into two halves.

The man lifted the harpy's claws, and his brows were sad.

"I didn't expect that after so much effort, I still can't give Xiao Yun a good birthday gift......"

A big man, because of a piece of jade, was sad for a while, and his face was full of self-blame.

Li Rui approached, held the body of the bird demon above his head, and blocked the uncle a little, and he didn't know what to say.

"Don't be sad, the gift is more about the heart, not the substance, we will help you stick it, it's nothing." After a while, Li Rui spoke.

The man stopped sobbing, seeing him like this, Li Rui and they were all uncomfortable, how sad it must be to make a man who has tears and not flick tears shed tears.

"I'm so big that I can't accomplish anything." The man spoke, "Xiao Yun is 5 years old, and because she is busy with work all day, I haven't even given her a birthday yet." ”

Li Rui wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, he didn't want to listen to the story......

Forget it, you just talk about it, otherwise you can't think about what to do.

"Did I forget? How could I forget......

Such a cute little girl, like the warm sun in winter, how could I forget her birthday......

I'm just running away......

I'm not a good dad, and I'm more for the sake of the whole family, but I often ignore her feelings.

When I went out this morning, she suddenly asked me if I would accompany her for her birthday in the evening, I looked at her innocent little face, and I was inexplicably sad, it turned out that I hadn't spent a birthday with her.

I wanted to be a competent father, I said that I would definitely come back, and when I left, I took some of the money I had saved in the past few years, and my wife did not stop me, but gave me encouraging eyes.

After finishing my work today, I used the money to buy this piece of Kodama, which is said to speed up the absorption of star power, and I originally wanted to give it to her as a birthday gift.

Who knew that as soon as I finished making jade, the harpy attacked me! ”

The man picked up the jade, milky white, heart-shaped, and broken in half, half of which was engraved with "Mom and Dad forever", and half of it was engraved with "Love Xiaoyun".

The "Love Xiaoyun" piece is relatively large, and there is a small hole in the middle, strung with a thin silver chain.

"Alas~"

Li Rui took the two pieces of jade, walked to a bird demon corpse with a knife, cut open its mouth, touched it with his hand near the salivary glands, and then showed joy on his face, took the jade, and rubbed the broken place there, and then put the two pieces of jade together, pressed it hard with his hand for a while, and after letting go of his hand, the two pieces of jade suddenly became one again, and it seemed that there was no gap.

The man showed a look of surprise and took the jade tremblingly, Li Rui said: "Don't get excited, this is just superficial, it is sticky, you must take care of it, otherwise it will still break." ”

He nodded, in understanding.

"Let's go, where is your home, we'll send you back."

The uncle was not polite, bowed to them to express his gratitude, and also followed them, laboriously lifted a bird demon, and walked slowly in front.

God will never let everything go well, and always wants to create a little tragedy in this huge world to satisfy his feelings as a bystander about the seven emotions and six desires.

For the first time in five years, a man wants to accompany his daughter for a birthday, but the bird demon has to come to join in the fun.

Even if the danger is imminent, it can't stop a man from making a sincere promise.

If it weren't for Li Rui and they happened to meet, it is estimated that he would not have a chance to accompany his daughter in the future.

In this huge world, are there many tragedies going on?

He didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to think about the story that happened between heaven and earth at the beginning of the fusion era, he didn't dare to think about the compatriots who became the funeral objects of the era, he didn't dare to think about the heroes who sacrificed themselves to protect others, he didn't dare to think about the reason why the mutated crimson rabbit demon shed tears, he didn't dare to think about it.

Soon the man led them to the back of a house, and he smiled and said, "This is my home, I guess both of them are asleep, do you want to go in and sit?" ”

Li Rui looked at his watch and said, "It's 12 o'clock in half an hour, we won't go, go back quickly, hurry up and make your daughter happy, otherwise you will miss the appointment!" ”

The man nodded vigorously, looked at them deeply, and turned around the house to the door.

The three of them smiled, dressed in a harpy, and planned to go back to rest.

"No !!"

Before they had taken a few steps, a man's cry of grief came from behind them, and a bad premonition rose in their hearts, and they immediately rushed to the front of the house as fast as they could, and the harpy's corpse was thrown to the ground.

The man looked at the mess in the house, the blood stains on the ground, and subconsciously shouted, he immediately rushed upstairs, and met the woman who was hurrying downstairs in the stairwell.

He put his hands on the woman's shoulders and asked as he shook it, "Where is Xiao Yun?" ”

When the woman heard this, her legs weakened and she fell directly into the man's arms.

"Xiao Yun...... Xiao Yun is gone!? ”
