Chapter 56: A Joke
Li stretched out his tentacles to snatch me out of the encirclement, but it was useless, where I was, the butterfly flew. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I hurriedly reminded him: "Sing, sing!"
Immediately, a strange singing voice floated out from between his lips and teeth.
The butterflies were visibly stunned, and then, as if drunk, they were dizzy, staggering in the air, and some even crashed into each other.
As the saying goes, people are in a hurry and are not wise, that is to say, people cannot be in a hurry, and if they are in a hurry, they will be messed up, and I am no exception.
At this moment, the situation was suspended, and after a little calming down, it suddenly occurred to me that insects should not be afraid of fire. Then let me use fire to get rid of these evils!
I spotted a butterfly, and with a flick of my fingers, the butterfly instantly burst into flames and turned into a ball of fire. The fireball collided with the other butterflies, forming another fireball.
Chain reaction, the stone cave was full of fire in an instant.
Away stopped singing in astonishment, and the butterflies that had turned into fireballs came to their senses as the song stopped, and swooped down on me frantically with the last remaining strength.
Ignoring the burning pain, I kept waving my tentacles and whipping them to relieve me.
The butterfly, which had originally stopped on the water, saw that its companion was being attacked and left the "post" without permission, and also pounced on it as if it were dead, with the intention of dying with me.
I thought to myself, I want to play with you, I don't want to accompany you, so I put a fire on them, pulled them away with my backhand, and plunged into the water.
We hid under the water and watched as the fire above faded before we came out of the water.
I'm so embarrassed right now. The robe was already "covered in bruises", and there were small circles of holes with blood stains that had been bitten by mouthparts everywhere, and it was extremely painful to see.
I smiled at him, "It's okay, it's just a little painful, it'll be fine in a while." ”
Apparently unconvinced, he silently looked at me with questioning eyes, thinking I was comforting him.
I rolled up my sleeves and showed him my arms, "Look. ”
Turning his gaze to my injured arm, he was startled. Where are the wounds? Shocked, he grabbed my arm and flipped over
Then he looked at me with a question mark on his face, "What's going on?" ”
"It's been my secret, it's been like this since I was a kid. I'm afraid that people will treat me as a monster, and I don't dare to tell anyone, you are the first to know. ”
After looking at me for a long time, he suddenly hugged me and said "thank you" affectionately in my ear.
I know he's thankful that I trust him so much, and I'm touched by that.
Looking at the black ashes everywhere, I wondered, where did these butterflies come from? Aren't these corpses placed here to keep out the grave robbers, but just to nurture these butterflies?
Of course, I don't deny that these butterflies are also very lethal, but I always feel a bit blind.
It seems to be a little confused, and he said, "I didn't see these butterflies here last time, where do you think they can come from?" ”
I joked, "You can't bring these butterflies, right?" ”
Li shook his head and replied honestly: "Not me." ”
I teased him, "You didn't bring it, you put it in." ”
Li stared at his eyes and jumped to his feet and shouted: "How come? ”
I pretended to analyze him, "Then let me ask you, is the stone on the ground of the upward passage in the place where you live now the original one, or did you put it on it yourself?" ”
I didn't understand what I was trying to explain, so I blinked and replied honestly: "It turns out that there is only an inconspicuous crack there, and only a small light can be seen outside." I was unwilling to be stuffy in the ground every day, so I widened the seams. I was worried that someone would find out, so I found a stone to press on it. ”
"Look, that's right. It must be that when you move the rocks back and forth, you open the hole and let the butterflies fly in, and they have no place to lay eggs so they can only use the carcass as a breeding bed. ”
I deliberately had a cold face, pretending to analyze him seriously, but in fact, I was already smiling in my heart.
I saw that Li's expression became serious, so I continued to tease him, "It's good now, the butterflies that ate the flesh and blood of the corpse have mutated into man-eating butterflies, your sin is not small!" ”
I didn't expect this dead eye to really believe it. After listening to my reproach, he actually took my hand, looked at me with guilt, and said, "It's all my fault that you suffered." ”
I couldn't take it anymore and laughed and shook off his hand, "You're not stupid
Huh? Lie to you, you believe it! ”
He looked at me in a daze, but instead of getting angry, he laughed silly at me.
As soon as I was proud, I was a little speechless, pointed to the ashes and said: "Look, these are just out of the cocoons of the corpses, it is said that children are so powerful, and those butterflies in your house are more powerful than here, so they don't usually attack you?" ”
As soon as the words came out, I regretted it and wanted to slap myself in the face.
Sure enough, Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Their eyesight is very bad, they usually fly by themselves, and they can't see me at all." But I can see them, and sometimes when I'm bored, I'll pull their wings and play. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I realized something, and the whole person froze, looked at me with a strange expression, and said with difficulty: "Why can they see you?" This is...... What's going on? ”
I felt a pang of sadness, and I probably understood that my previous guess should be correct.
I just don't understand why it can still make me feel his existence so truly, is he the ghost of the Tao as the legend says?
But once he realizes his death, will he be gone? I don't dare to think about it.
So, I suppressed my emotions and deliberately said nonsense: "Hey, what's so strange about this, you're amazing." I'm just a normal person, and they can see that I'm normal. ”
"Is that really the case? But I don't think you're ordinary. ”
Obviously unconvinced, he leaned up, took my hand, and stared at me with suspicious eyes.
"You still don't believe me?"
I deliberately glared at him with disgust, as if he suspected how much fault I was.
In order to hide my weakness, I didn't look over my head and pulled him up the rock wall.
"Let's go check again and see if what I said makes sense."
Not to mention, this inspection really found some problems. Some of the holes were large enough for a coffin, while others were not, and there were long and narrow passages that seemed to be quite deep.
From the edges of these passages, it is clear that they are neither naturally formed nor artificially excavated, but rather corroded by something.
What could be so powerful? I couldn't think of a reason for it.
I scrutinized the bodies in the holes with the passages again. It was found that they also had a lot of holes in their bodies, but they looked older.
I compared the other cavities with the carcasses in them, and the breaches were much fresher than those here, probably the good deeds of the butterflies we had just exterminated.
