Xiaowu held the daylily and carefully explained to the little girl some things that should be paid attention to about watering the daylily.

After explaining the basic points, Xiaowu's gaze fell back on the little girl who was taking notes seriously, and looked at her cheeks. The girl was not very beautiful, and there was little joy on her quiet cheeks.

No, or rather, she rarely showed too intense expressions.

Looking at her cheeks, some people may think that she is not beautiful enough, but when the person looks closely, he can't tell what is wrong and where there are flaws. The eyes, nose and mouth, if you look closely, are so delicate, clean cheeks, and the skin is pink and tender unique to girls of this age.

"Actually, you can smile more. ”

Inexplicably, Xiaowu said.

The little girl put down her pen in some surprise, looked up at Xiaowu and asked, "Why do you say that, and my mother tells me that." Compared to the others, her surprise also seemed to have a certain quiet tone.

Thinking about it later, this may have been the first time she showed her expression in front of Xiaowu.

Xiaowu tugged at her hair just above her shoulders with a little distress, it can be said that she is not good at this situation: "I just think it will look better this way, well, I feel that it will look better when you laugh." She picked up a pot of daylilies from the wooden shelf and said, "Just like this plate of daylilies, I think you will only look like this blooming daylily flower when you laugh." ”

"Yes, I'll laugh when that pot of flowers blooms. ”

The little girl is used to this, and she is not surprised.

Since she was a child, this is the fourth time she has seen such words from other people's mouths. My grandmother, who passed away five years ago, loves her father and mother、...... The person in front of him, who was a little flustered, but held the flower tightly in his arms, was the fourth.

Mom said that she should respond to this expectation with a smile.

Yes, with your own smile.

This expectation seems to be important to me, well, that's what Mom said.

The afternoon time is still so leisurely. In fact, the location of this small shop is quite good, and although some of the shops around it may not be very prosperous, it is really strange that it is so sparsely populated.

............

"Ding-Ding-Ding"

On Saturday, the little girl arrives early in the morning at this little shop overflowing with the scent of flowers.

The other day, she had pruned the dead leaves of the pot of daffodils;

Three days ago, that plate of narcissus had sprouted;

Last night, a small bud began to emerge on that sprout.

"Weekend news, in the fierce competition for half a month, the champion and runner-up of the city's third badminton amateur competition organized by Fenghua Sports Center finally appeared. It is the Sports Bureau's intention to invite several of them to participate in the athlete assessment......"

"The following is a special news from the Meteorological Observatory, this year our province will encounter special weather, this year's No. 1 typhoon Hyacinth will be close to the coast in a week, experts said that this is due to the interaction between the Pacific Ocean Current and the tropical monsoon produced by the special weather, it is expected that the weather will be mainly rainy in the coming period, from time to time there will be moderate rain or heavy rain, I hope you are ready to resist typhoon and wind. Here's a scammer ......... at an ATM in the city center."

Xiaowu turned on the TV and chewed on a cookie. Because of the late start today, she didn't have time to prepare breakfast, but she didn't care very much. Sweet cookies also taste good.

"Welcome,"

A fashionably dressed woman, about twenty-five or sixteen, walked in and looked at the small, simply furnished shop with a slightly selective eye. She ignored the little girl standing on the side, and looked at the small shop by herself.

"Who, help me wrap up this plate of cactus. ”

The little girl obediently took the cactus, she was as quiet as usual, and her calm eyes did not shine with envy or other emotions as the woman expected, which made her a little uncomfortable. Thinking about it, she inadvertently, the cactus ball loosened, and a spike pierced the back of the little girl's hand, a little deep, and a red blood drop emerged.

"I'm sorry...... You're alright, be clear, I didn't mean to. ”

"It's fine. The little girl seemed to be frowning slightly from the sting or something.

She quickly wrapped the cactus ball and handed it over: "Please take it, 25 yuan." ”

"Don't look for it, you can buy some band-aids for the rest. After taking the cactus, the woman threw down a few hundred-dollar bills and turned to leave. Not far from the store, she looked at the packaging of the cactus, and for no reason she didn't like it, so she tore off the packaging and threw it in the trash.

When the woman left, Xiaowu had already turned off the TV and walked out: "What's wrong?"

"Are you bleeding?" When she saw the back of the little girl's injured hand, Xiaowu suddenly dragged her to her side, and then plucked a leaf from a plant behind the little girl whose name she didn't know, rubbed it with her hand and applied it to the back of her hand: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt......

"It's really fine. As if she wasn't used to being treated like this, the little girl pulled her hand back. Squinting slightly confused, she muttered to herself, "What did you just see? There seemed to be something strange sitting on her shoulder." ”

When the little girl was talking to herself, Xiaowu looked like she had seen something interesting

β€œ...... Second. She nodded her finger earnestly, as if to record it.

"What?"

"Nope. Xiaowu defended in a panic, then looked at the air in front of her and said, "See something strange?"

"Well, just saw a vague mass on that person's body. ”

"Now, don't you feel scared? Sometimes what you see is more dangerous than what you can't see. Xiaowu seemed to smell something bad, pinched her nose, and the pair of slender white hands that made the little girl a little envious fanned her in front of her. Taboo, parasitic on the human body, inducing self-satisfaction in people's hearts, is a kind of self-confidence as a small monster that feeds on the emotion of self-confidence.

She looked at the direction in which the little monster had left and whispered, "...... Now it's starting to have an impact?"

"What?"

Xiaowu thought for a moment and said, "You saw it just now. If you continue like this, you'll see something outside of common sense. Moreover, the shackles on your body will also be opened. ”

"Common sense?" the little girl repeated in a whisper.

"Common sense is a realm constructed by human beings based on their own cognition of the world, their understanding of the surrounding environment, the knowledge they have learned since childhood, and the concepts they have accepted. For ordinary people, everything is untrustworthy and unscientific, and bulls, ghosts, snakes, gods, demons, monsters, and even gods and devils all belong to common sense. ”

"Where's the coffin?"

"Crash...... Your body is the coffin, the coffin where something is buried in it. Your coffin may have been buried for too long, and if nothing happens, the 'coffin' inside you will be buried deep and never wake up. ”

Xiaowu paused, and for the first time said in a serious tone: "But...... If you stay with me, sooner or later your coffin will be opened, and the buried crane will be released. Seeing the little girl's slightly dazed eyes, Xiaowu patiently explained: "Well, you can understand that if you continue to stay by the side of the existence of 'Xiaowu', you will encounter ghosts, or just like just now...... Youkai!"

"Are they scary?"

"No, at least not in my eyes. Xiaowu tilted her head and thought about it seriously.

β€œ...... Never mind. ”

Tilting her head and thinking about it, the little girl said calmly.

"That's good. Xiaowu stopped talking after hearing her answer, she walked directly to the window and made a gesture of hugging the light in the sun: "Someone once told me that in many cases, no one should help others make choices based on their own likes and dislikes, right and wrong. When the concept of 'choice' is settled, that scene will be etched forever. No matter how sad the outcome is, at least ...... That's your choice. ”

The sun resides on her, and when she embraces it, the sun embraces her. This is not a metaphor, but it really condenses small points of light into her body. She turned around, bathed in the warm light, and smiled slightly: "Of course, everything in the future is in the future, and the only thing we can grasp is the present." ”
