Kushan Kingdom, Tehran, Gobi hinterland, Sakha village.

Aisha brought the roast lamb and naan from the stove and placed them on the dusty floor, beckoning her husband and children to dinner, only to find that her second son, Aziz, was not there.

"Where did Aziz go? Hussein. Aisha asked her husband.

"My brother is still by the river, with Hasna the Dumb (meaning 'beautiful'), and they say they catch fireflies together at night." The youngest daughter, Faliha, replied with a milky voice.

"'Dumb' Hasna? Who is it? There are only a few hundred people in Sakha Village, and each family has several children, and the name of each child is clear, but she has never heard the name "Hasna".

Faliha shook her head and said timidly, "I don't know, Mom. ”

"Fahd," Aisha looked at her eldest sixteen-year-old son, "you know? ”

Fahd took a big bite of the naan and shrugged, "A wild girl, I don't know where she came from, lives in a tent in the poplar forest by the river, she seems to be a mute!" ”

"A wild girl?" Aisha began to worry.

Sakha Village is located in the hinterland of the Gobi Desert almost isolated, strange faces rarely appear, even if there are tourists, explorers are the majority, the people in the village are respectful of these people, but now there is a strange girl inexplicably......

A strange girl means a strange adult is nearby.

"You keep me at home," Aisha snapped, "and give me the scriptures to read after eating, and whoever dares to leave the house will break his legs!" ”

With that, Aisha pushed the door open and walked out to the river.

When I went out, it was the setting sun, the Gobi was shrouded in golden silence, the distant mountains were clothed in the colorful clothes of the sunset, the white clouds like cow's milk in the sky also became bright red like a firebelt, and the herds of cattle and sheep slowly came from the distant wasteland, only the camels that did not return at night were still wandering by the poplar forest by the river.

"Hum-" A wasp flew past Aisha's ear, Aisha didn't care, her house was only two hundred meters away from the Yeniz River.

The Yeniz River is not wide, only about thirty or forty meters, the river is not deep, the deepest depth is less than one meter, the water flow is very gentle, the children in the village basically know water, and the water is not bad, so the adults are still very relieved that the children play in the river on weekdays.

"Buzz, buzz!" Two earth bees brushed past Aisha's ears again.

"Where are so many earth bees?" Aisha raised her eyes, and she found that the dark blue night sky was densely packed with all kinds of unknown small flying insects, and the further she walked to the river, the more small insects became denser and denser.

"Aziz!" Aisha, who had a bad premonition, spoke out.

"Mom, I'm here!" Aziz's voice could be heard in the distance.

Aisha finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, the safety of the child is the greatest happiness for the mother, she walked to the river beach, and saw Aziz's thin figure in the distance, he held a glass bottle with a cold light in his hand, and the shadow of a girl was not far away, and the small flying insects that were overwhelming over the river beach.

It's just that those little flying insects seem to be circling around the two children, forming a strange black vortex in mid-air, which seems to be devouring the two children at any time.

On the river beach, countless fireflies flew around the two children, twinkling and shining, like stars, which was very beautiful.

The girl ran to Aziz's side and spread out her palm, revealing a firefly in the palm of her hand.

Aziz picked up the fireflies and shoved them neatly into the glass bottle, blocking the mouth with his fingers.

"There's still one over there, Hasna!" Aziz immediately ran to the other side, his attention so absorbed by the fireflies that he didn't care about his mother at all.

However, this image made Aisha feel inexplicably frightened, she had lived in Sakha village all her life, but she had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

"Aziz!" Aisha ran over to that side, shouting a little heartbreakingly, "Come back!" Come home with me for dinner! ”

"Okay, Mom!" Aziz beckoned to her mother, then turned sideways to the girl and said, "Hasna, my mother called me, I have to go home for dinner." ”

There was a hint of disappointment on the girl's dazzlingly beautiful face, and she didn't speak, nodding lightly at Aziz.

"These fireflies for you!" Aziz handed the girl a glowing glass bottle containing fireflies.

The girl shook her head and put her hands behind her back.

"You don't want it?" Aziz asked.

The girl nodded.

"I'll keep it?" Aziz asked again.

The girl smiled and nodded.

"Good!" Aziz said happily, "I'll treat them well." ”

The girl nodded happily.

"See you tomorrow, Hasna!" Aziz waved goodbye to the girl.

When Aziz ran towards Aisha, Aisha felt that the dense crowd of small flying insects seemed to automatically make way for the child, and after Aziz ran away, the passage was filled with small flying insects again.

Aisha could only pray that all she saw was an illusion.

Aziz finally ran to Aisha's side, he held his mother's hand, turned to "mute" Hasna and waved goodbye, Aisha didn't dare to look at the mysterious little girl again, and hurriedly pulled her son to walk home.

"Come home with me, you little bastard," Aisha cried, "and dare to play with her again, see that I don't break your legs!" ”

Here, Xiao Yong watched from afar as Aziz and his mother's figures disappeared into the night, before putting down his raised hand and standing quietly in place, with only a ray of afterglow left in the sunset.

Although they were far away, Xiao Yong could clearly hear every word Aisha said.

Xiao Yong looked depressed, she didn't know why adults, especially women, were always wary of herself, while men were always staring at her.

With a wave of her hand, countless small flying insects gradually dispersed over the river beach.

"Let's go," Wuying was already standing beside Xiao Yong at some point, "We've been resting here for most of the day, and you've been playing all afternoon, so it's time to leave." ”

"No, I'm going to stay, and I'll play with them tomorrow!" Xiao Yong's words were blunt, but her eyes were full of begging.

"No way!" Shadowless shook his head.

Xiao Yong continued to beg, but Wuying still shook his head, for this future Zerg queen who is not deeply involved in the world, her safety must not be taken lightly.

Xiao Yong knew the temperament of Wuying, and knew that it was useless to say more, she glared at Wuying with resentment in her eyes, shook her hand, turned around and walked a few steps, stretched out a pair of elytra from her back, "exhaled" to the ground, her figure rose from the ground, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Wuying sighed, knowing that Xiao Yong's "middle two disease" had committed it again, his knees bent slightly and jumped forward, chasing in the direction where Xiao Yong's figure disappeared.

The sky is full of stars, and the crescent moon is low.

Xiao Yong flew aimlessly in mid-air, saying that it was "mid-air", but in fact it was only three or four hundred meters above the ground, and she couldn't fly far, after all, the membranous wings on her back were still very immature, and she had to rest for half a day if she flew a distance of dozens of miles, which was why she and Wuying rested by the river in Saha Village for most of the day.

The day before, in order to chase a team of migratory geese, Xiao Yong flew hundreds of miles at once, and he was tired alive.

Since she learned to fly with a dragonfly half a decade ago, as long as she is not in a good mood, Xiao Yong will fly into the air to relax, which has become a habit.

Not far behind her, Shadowless is also flying in the sky, for the Yaoxing-level Colonization Armor Warrior, it is not difficult to fly in the sky on a planet like Earth, but because of the ban on flying, he can't fly for too long, otherwise it will be a big trouble once he is targeted by the cruising and patrolling drones.

Wuying doesn't think it's too much trouble, and destroying those drones is also a matter of raising your hand, but now that Xiaoyong is accompanied, the situation is different, it's better to keep a low profile, so as not to cause more trouble.
