Chapter 287: Crow
Despite his young age and lack of care at home, Nova still hated boarding school and thought he could take care of himself, just as he does today.
At King's Cross Station in London, Nova carried his small backpack and followed the flow of people with his head down, looking up from time to time to see if he had reached his platform.
The bag contains two ham-filled sandwiches, a bottle of purified water, and several banknotes ranging from £50 to £10.
He had already planned his entire route and even ordered a bouquet of white calla lilies from the right florist over the phone.
King's Cross Station is an old station with a long history, more than 150 years of use and still in good working order.
Along the way, the adults around him seemed to be in a constant hurry, flowing around Nova endlessly.
As a country that prides itself on being a gentleman, the irony is that people's attitudes are becoming more and more indifferent, and no one pays too much attention to a child who has nothing to do with them.
"Platform 8... ”
Although it had been confirmed many times, Little Nova took out the ticket that was crumpled in his pocket once again and confirmed it once.
There were already a few men in overcoats chatting and waiting on the edge of the masonry platform.
Today, there are not too many people in the old but tidy platform area, and the weather is a little gloomy because the climate has not yet warmed and brings a cold wind from time to time.
Little Nova tightened his little jacket, took out the chocolate in his pocket, took a bite, and then sealed the package and put it back.
After a while, the train that ends in Edinburgh will be close to the station.
Nova likes to choose the final station for this trip, because it doesn't have to pay attention to whether you have been at the station all the time, and you can rest assured that you can take a look at the scenery or take a nap on the train.
The faint voices of several adults seemed to be chatting about some adult topic, and Nova had long understood this, but he didn't quite understand the "fun" in it.
On the radio, the standard London accent was heard: "Dear passengers, train U8826 is about to enter the station, please be ready to board the train in an orderly manner... ”
Hearing the announcement, Nova subconsciously took out his ticket again to see his platform and seat number.
But suddenly, a cold wind blew, and some cold and rigid little hands didn't grasp the ticket for a while, letting it fly out of their hands.
"My ticket!!"
Little Nova hurriedly chased after the ticket for the "escape", he didn't dare to evade the ticket, and he didn't want to miss the train.
This gust of cold wind seemed to be specifically against Nova, and his ticket flew in the air, but it couldn't come down.
"My ticket!!don't go~~~"
Nova chased after him on a rampage, not caring about the passengers who bumped into the side.
The ticket kept flying high and low, and sometimes it had fallen to the ground, and it was clear that Nova could pick it up after a few more steps, but this hateful cold wind would blow the next burst and blow the marathon whistle again.
The adults around him just looked at the little ghost, but they didn't do anything to help.
The train was about to enter the station, and the orderly British lined up to get on the train, and no one wanted to leave the queue.
"Bang~".
The large suitcase was knocked over by Nova and brought down a bag that was originally placed on top of the suitcase, throwing out the lipstick makeup case and other items inside.
"Hey, you kid, watch the road!"
A pretty-looking girl grabbed Nova.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I'm going to chase my ticket!
When Nova apologized, he still looked anxiously at the ticket that was not high above the ground and still flew and stopped.
The girl looked at Nova's hand, and sure enough, one of the tickets was blown by the wind.
I just wanted to help Nova chase it, but I found that a bigger gust of wind was blowing, and the ticket flew straight up, towards the outside of the King's Cross platform.
"No, my ticket!"
Nova broke free of the girl's hand and rushed over there.
"Come back dangerous!"
The drop on the outside of the platform was more than one meter, and if such a child rushed out of the air, he would definitely be injured, and the girl chased after him before he had time to pick up the bits and pieces on the ground.
But before she could chase a few steps, she noticed that the little boy suddenly stopped in front of her.
She stepped forward in confusion, only to find that the other party was staring in one direction at something.
Subconsciously, following Nova's current, the girl saw a bird parked in the corner of a section outside the platform.
This is a crow with black and shiny feathers, it looks one size larger than the average crow, it faces them with its head on one side, and opens its mouth to make a crow cry of "ah~~".
The crow was definitely watching them!
After staring at her eyes again, she found the ticket under the crow's claws, and her heart jumped inexplicably.
Is this a coincidence?
In the sound of the electric whistle of "beep~~~", the train entered the station.
"Ah~~"
Another crow chirped, still audible in an already noisy environment.
"Give me back the ticket!"
Nova yelled at the crow.
"How can a stupid boy crow ... Belch... ”
The girl couldn't say the second half of the sentence, and her eyes widened and she stared at the crow in disbelief.
After Nova shouted those words, the big black bird reached out and grabbed the ticket with its beak.
It won't be ... You don't really want to get your ticket back, do you?
This absurd idea just arose and became a reality.
The crow flew down from the corner of the wall not far away with the ticket in its mouth and landed at Nova's feet...
Nova herself was stunned, but the child's understanding was simpler than that of the adult, and he immediately bent down and took the ticket from the crow's mouth.
Don't forget to say "thank you".
But the crow did not fly away, and bent its neck to one side, staring at Nova without fear, without a trace of variegated dark eyes that could not see light.
But it is not afraid of people, but some people are beginning to be afraid of it.
The interaction between animals and children should have been a very warm and harmonious scene, but now the girl only feels that her hair is upside down.
This crow is so weird...
She pretended to be calm and patted Nova on the shoulder.
"Kid, hurry, the train is coming in, we can't catch up, hurry, my bag and suitcase are still there!"
"Ah, yes, yes, let's go!"
Nova immediately realized that he was going to catch the train, and immediately trotted back with the kind sister towards the suitcase that had fallen to the ground not far away.
。。。
Ten minutes later, the train started slowly, and Karina, who was sitting in the carriage, could no longer see the platform at King's Cross Station, so she breathed a long sigh of relief.
She and Nova happened to be in the same carriage, and there were a lot of empty seats in the carriage today, so she sat directly next to Nova.
While curiously asking for Nova's name and other information, he used his mobile phone to type with his boyfriend.
'Jelemy, you're not going to believe what I just saw!'
Jeremy, who was far away in Ireland, took out the mobile phone that vibrated in his pocket, saw that it was his beloved girlfriend, thought of her beautiful appearance and equally beautiful heart, smiled and typed back.
'Oh, what do you see?'
Then the colleague on the same side continued the topic just now.
"Are the results out?"
"It came out, it took a few months, and I couldn't find any super vines under Dublin, either deeper or not at all. ”
