Chapter 15: Childhood Footprints (Part II)
That was the last time Ye Xiangqian saw the sloppy old man, from beginning to end, he didn't ask the old man's name, the old man shouted all year long, and the old man didn't care.
The bracelet given by the sloppy old man is not gold or iron, and the appearance looks extremely exquisite, and it is made of extremely small black chain links to form a circle, and there are seven strange symbols hanging on the chain links, none of which are the same. Those symbols are different from any of the letters of the Federation, and I really don't know what they mean.
Once a teacher in the school ordered Ye Xiangqian to take off the bracelet, saying that it was immoral for elementary school students to bring such things. It was then that he realized that the bracelet was smaller than his own hand, and he couldn't take it off anyway, and he didn't know how he put it on in the first place.
Since then, Ye Xiangqian has tried to wear a long-sleeved shirt to cover the black bracelet. It wasn't until later that he used the bracelet to block a knife from the Moorn......
Not long after the old man left, his father's pension was finally paid, but it was much less than what was said on TV, but an eleven-year-old child could only endure it. Time is four years, Ye Xiangqian found that he was more and more able to eat in the past four years, and the amount of food was several times larger than that of children of the same age, and the money was not enough.
There are few powerful people to help speak, and the relief fund cannot be applied. I wanted to go out and do some odd jobs, but the federation does not allow child labor, once someone violates it and is discovered, the child laborer will be stripped of a lot of money by the relevant departments, which is inevitable, so no one dares to hire him at all.
In the end, Ye Xiangqian joined the juvenile reserve. Not only do I take care of my meals, but I also have a small monthly salary because I am free of charge for all expenses such as property fees at home. Unexpectedly, the war in the Federation was tight, and these teenagers who were supposed to go to the battlefield in three years went to fight the Mo'er people in less than half a year. The comrades-in-arms who were in the reserve camp together at that time are now dead.
Over the years, Ye Xiangqian has always thought that he has fallen for a sloppy old man. He guessed that the reason why the amount of food was several times that of others must be the reason for the innate boxing. However, due to the oath made, this punch was not delayed for a day. It's just that he still hasn't figured it out, what does the old man have to do with him boxing every day?
Twisting the black bracelet on his wrist with his fingers, Ye Xiangqian said faintly: "It's been six years, old man, are you still alive? I'm afraid I'll never see you again in this life......
All the way back home, Ye Xiangqian turned on the dust collector, wiped the portraits of his father and mother carefully, and then sat down in front of the portraits and chatted with his father and mother about the experience of the past two years. Just like when I told them interesting stories about the school every night......
At dawn, Ye Xiangqian, as he did back then, came to the small lake early to play innate boxing, and unconsciously recalled the year he spent with the old man, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
In a blink of an eye, the red sun was in the sky, the sky was clear, and it was a good weather with bright sunshine.
Ye retracted his momentum and stood still, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and suddenly felt a little itchy in his calves. When he looked down, he found that it was a fiery red beast, sniffing desperately with its little black nose against his calf. The little beast's long fur was neatly trimmed, and its big eyes seemed to reveal its true feelings, and it was cute and cute.
It was clearly a puppy, but for some reason it was fiery red.
Ye Xiangqian was overjoyed, squatted down and wanted to stroke gently, but the puppy turned around and ran away towards the rising sun. Ye Xiangqian smiled, and his eyes followed, but unexpectedly, the puppy ran under a red dress. The owner of the red dress was a little girl who looked like four or five years old.
The little girl pouted, and her two big cute eyes stared at him nicely. Ye Xiangqian opened his mouth a little sluggishly, and looked at the fiery red dress in front of him stupidly, as if he didn't believe the fire color he saw in his eyes.
This little girl is so cute that even if the cold and hard heart of a criminal sees it, it will be melted into iron juice in an instant.
The little girl in the red dress suddenly opened her little mouth, and the childish sound of a milky voice came out. "You must come back alive, I dreamed that someone was going to eat me, only you can help me. ”
Hearing this, Ye Xiangqian was confused, scratched his head inexplicably, and asked, "Where is your adult?" Then he looked around, but no one saw anything.
The little girl seemed to smile and continued to say in a ruglutinous voice: "I dreamed that you have some troubles, but they are all minor troubles, you don't have to worry. When you come back, you must be very powerful, I'll wait for you to come back to protect me, you have to come back early!"
A cute child as cute as a puppy said such strange things, which was really unacceptable, and Ye Xiangqian was a little breathless.
He was about to speak, but the little girl spoke again, but not to him.
"Don't be naughty......"
Ye Xiangqian hurriedly followed the little girl's gaze, but saw that the fiery red puppy was bouncing and chasing a butterfly. The two big ears fanned up and down as it ran, more like a butterfly than a butterfly, and the fiery red fur was like a flowing fire under the reflection of the morning sun.
When Ye turned his head forward, the little girl was gone, and she was busy looking at the little dog, but she was gone, leaving only the panicked butterfly, swaying and flying.
"No, have you met a ghost?" Ye Xiangqian showed a ghostly look. "Didn't the experts say that there are no ghosts? and it's daytime!"
Ye Qianqian carefully scanned every corner of the vicinity, including the back of every tree, and even under every bench, but he was still alone.
"Isn't it right, at this time, there should be many people by the lake, how can it be only yourself?"
Just thinking of this, Ye Xiangqian saw a flower in front of him. On closer inspection, the bustling crowd was constantly shuttling around, but no one noticed him.
Doubts, incomprehension, and horror hit his heart one after another, and Ye Xiangqian's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the characters who had rolled in the pile of dead people, they would have either been frightened to the point of insanity, or they were so frightened that they went home in a hurry, and they didn't dare to show their heads in the bed again.
Forcibly suppressing the negative emotions in his heart, Ye Xiangqian put on a peaked cap and sunglasses, and slowly walked into the shade of the tree. He wants to make a reasonable guess about today's events. But no matter how much he tried to do it, it couldn't be explained in the context of science.
He didn't dare to tell anyone about it, and they wouldn't believe it. If there are rumors such as "Captain Black Rider is rhapnoia" or "The Federation hero is a psychopath", it will be not only his trouble, but also the Federation's trouble. Therefore, he will hide this strange event that cannot be inferred by common sense deep in his heart, hoping that one day he will be able to solve the mystery.
