Chapter 27: Pit Goods
With a few pieces of cake made by Dong Si, I left the warehouse and walked to the front of Xuan Xuan's yard. At this time, his lawn was already very lush, and she sat on it casually. Books, pencils, and drawing boards were scattered everywhere.
"Hey, Lao Tie is here, what are you doing over there? It seems to be very lively. ”
What she said should be when Gu Xuaniao signed the contract with Dong Si just now, after all, the movement was not small at that time, not to mention in the eyes of Xuan Xuan, who would always pay attention to it.
"It's a long story, I won't talk to you about it today, we're having dinner, can you come along?" I put the cake in front of her.
"Well, not first, I'm busy right now." Xuan Xuan stuffed a small piece of cake into her mouth.
"What are you doing?" I asked, looking at the paper and books scattered all over the place. "Doing homework?
"Homework?" Xuan Xuan held her stomach and smiled. "You! I've become a nerd when I study.
"I'm drawing, I'm doing, I'm reading, I'm observing nature. Here, I can experience the sun and the air; Listen to the singing of the birds. I am accepting the world and letting the world accept me. Do you understand? Nerd! ”
After speaking, Xuan Xuan looked left and right and found a book of poems by her side, and then sat down in her clothes and said, "Listen." ”
She cleared her throat, put the book on her lap and flipped through a few pages, then began to read:
"Don't go to the lonely valley,
Don't go to the bleak foothills,
Nor do you go to the deserted streets to be melancholy
- Flying, flying, flying,
- Look, I have my direction! ”
She closed the book and tossed it aside.
"This is written by Xu Zhimo, have you heard of this guy?"
"I've only heard that name." I replied honestly.
"He is a very talented person, and his poems are also written beautifully, just like a painting composed of words, but people are very scummy."
When she said these words, Xuan Xuan's face was very exciting, with both her yearning for the beauty of her works and her disdain for the poet. I couldn't figure out how I could maintain my adoration and dislike for the same person like her.
She patted the grass beside her and motioned for me to come over and sit down.
"Don't speak, close your eyes, be quiet, and listen carefully." She whispered to me.
"Listen to what?"
"Don't ask, just listen."
So, I pricked up my ears and discerned all the sounds I heard like a cat. There were birds, a breeze blowing through the treetops, insects crawling through the grass, and even the two of us breathing.
"What do you hear?"
I poured beans and told her everything I had heard.
"It's not enough, listen attentively and let yourself go a little deeper."
I closed my eyes again, calmed my breath, and listened.
Slowly, a very, very delicate, ethereal sound came to my ears, it felt like the sound of plants growing, and it felt like the whispers of animals, but it wasn't, or it was neither. That's the voice of everything in the world.
I didn't even dare to breathe out of the air, for fear that a slight breath of my own would annihilate this wonderful sound.
"Hear me, huh?" Looking at my demeanor, Xuan Xuan had already guessed.
I nodded, lowered my voice and asked, "What is this?" I've never heard of it? ”
"It's the world, the breath of the world. You haven't heard of it because you've always confined yourself to the material world. In fact, this world has life and its own consciousness. Xuan Xuan told me.
I didn't quite understand, but I nodded. I think I can understand why the tree charms are so close to Xuan Xuan, she is really different from us. Although she sometimes has a little funny, she is more pure than other people of the same age, like a child of nature.
"Xuan Xuan."
"Huh?"
"Pack up for our party, you're going to be welcome."
"But I still want to paint."
"Oh, stop drawing. If you want to paint, go to us and draw it. ”
I couldn't help but say, I put away Xuanxuan's things and dragged her towards the warehouse.
Holding a bunch of things in my hands and pulling Xuan Xuan again, I had to kick open the warehouse door with my foot, and with a "bang", the guys inside looked at the two of us in unison, wondering what was going on. The originally lively scene instantly fell silent. The scene was a little awkward for a while.
"You must be Xuan Xuan, I often hear Xiaofei talk about you. Sure enough, you're beautiful! Dong Si was the first to react, walked up enthusiastically, and took Xuan Xuan's hand. said gently, as if he had seen his own sister.
Then Aman and Ah Wei also fluttered their little wings and flew over, flying up and down beside Xuan Xuan affectionately. Seeing them, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, since they liked Xuan Xuan so much, why didn't they also sign a contract like Gu Xuaniao?
"Because the tree charm is the most basic goblin, and their own abilities are not very outstanding, so no one has asked them to sign a contract since ancient times. Over time, they got used to it, so they just followed the people they liked, but they never wanted too much. ”
Needless to say, this voice is undoubtedly Xuefei, and sometimes I really hate her mind-reading. I was even wondering if I might as well get a helmet that would prevent the mind from reading, like the one that the Magneto King had strapped.
While I was thinking about myself, Xue Fei had already shifted her attention.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, I haven't come to see my sister for so long, I almost miss you."
It's so good to die, Xue Fei shouted in a coquettish voice, hugged Xuan Xuan, and a kind of soft hemp hit me like a bad cold, making me lose goosebumps.
"Don't come here, my orientation is correct, and I have a sweetheart, eldest sister, you should die!"
Xuan Xuan jumped away like a frightened rabbit and dodged Xue Fei's death embrace.
"Oh, Xiao Xuanxuan doesn't love me anymore. Who's your sweetheart? ”
Xuan Xuan's sweetheart? Don't? I jumped up like an electric shock. "Xuan Xuan shut up, don't speak."
As soon as he finished speaking, the storeroom fell silent again, and I became the target of all eyes.
"Ahh Could it be that the two of you ......?"
Xue Fei looked at me with a wicked smile in the spirit of the paparazzi. Even Dong Si looked at it in surprise.
"I ......"
Heaven and earth conscience, I am innocent. I'm just trying to protect my brother's reputation, what are these guys thinking? Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan, this guy is going to explain!
But when I turned my gaze to her, my heart was completely cold. I saw that this bad guy was lowering his head, his hands were tugging at the placket of his clothes, and he looked shy.
Of course, I know why she is like this, but I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
"This pit! It's not a lady to meet someone! "That's the only thing on my mind right now.
