Chapter 69: Cuihua is missing, and the creatures are sentient
Magpie and Mi Xi returned to the old house, and after serving pastries to the master, it was almost time to accompany the old man to finish chatting.
After saying goodbye to the master, he hurried to the house where he and the magpie lived.
By this time, the sun had already set, and the birds had stopped chirping.
Listening to the creaking sound of the stones under his feet being stepped on by himself, Mi Xi's heart also followed the knot and dripped: because of the power of love to promote, so he walked briskly and steadily.
As he walked, he hummed a mountain song:
The big river is swollen and the small river is muddy, I don't know how deep the small river is, throw a stone to try the depth, sing a mountain song to try the sister's heart.
Life is connected, death is connected! Shenglian little sister Shishilian! Even to the son set daughter-in-law! Connected to Sun Tzu's top prize......
When Mi Xi was concentrating on singing the mountain song, he inadvertently looked up at the front, and in a trance, a small figure ran not far in front of him, and then another slightly larger figure ran by......
He stopped singing the song, stared at the direction where the figure was running, and said suspiciously: "Obviously you see Cuihua, why don't you recognize me?" Odd! Who is the shadow behind it? Cuihua won't have an accident, right? β
With so many questions, he still walked in the direction where Cuihua ran, he wanted to test his eyesight, in fact, the most important thing was to worry about Cuihua's safety.
He walked in the direction that Cuihua was running. At this time, the night was also thick, and it was hazy and made people feel a little hairy. The shadows of the various trees swayed, sometimes broken, sometimes whimpering......
When the wind stops, it all returns to silence. That kind of stillness is a kind of transcendent, ethereal quiet.
I like to step on the fallen leaves, and the rustling footsteps add a little interest to the quiet space.
Mi Xi still wanted to sing mountain songs, but he forgot all about the mountain songs at this time. He blamed himself for not being angry and getting stuck in time. Just when I was angry, I heard a heart-rending howl, "Woo! β
This sound alone made Mi Xi's heart tremble, like a landslide and the ground cracked; Like a mourning ape...... He couldn't describe it. In short, after listening to this voice, my heart seems to be plucked out. He endured the distress, stopped, and before he could slow down, another louder voice came than the last time......
Mi Xi was so dizzy by the sound that he didn't dare to move forward, so he turned around and ran in the direction of home.
When I got home, I stood in front of the magpie with a pale face, unable to speak for a long time.
The magpie looked at the happy expression and didn't know what was going on. While pulling his hand, he comforted, "Kiko, what's wrong?" Shocked when you come back? Take a break, drink a cup of hot water, and take your time. β
After drinking hot water, he wiped the cold sweat on his face, and said to the magpie: "Don't be delayed on the road, I'll be back early." β
The magpie tilted his head and asked, "It's normal to delay for a while when you meet an acquaintance on the road, but your look tells me that you are very frightened, and I don't know what is going on?" β
It's good that the magpie doesn't say that, and when he heard this, his face immediately turned as pale as when he first entered the house. The speech was also slurred: "I...... I saw ......"
The magpie saw that Mi Xi was frightened, and hurriedly pulled down the bed curtain, and then helped him to the bed, wanting to undress him, Mi Xi hurriedly said, "Don't ...... Don't take off my clothes! I can't be cold. β
The magpie hurriedly put the big quilt on Mi Xi's body, and after a few minutes of calmness, Mi Xi sighed and replied: "On the way back, I saw a black shadow running in front of me, and another black shadow followed behind it. Although I can't see clearly, I feel like our emerald flowers when I see the first figure. But it was really Cuihua who should have reacted to me, but it didn't react at all. I'm looking for shadows. When I was about to catch up, I heard an unusual wail, which made my heart jump out of my throat, and then there was a louder ...... I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran back. Wife, did I meet a monster? β
The magpie has been listening carefully to the plot described by Mi Xi, and she did not immediately answer Mi Xi's question, but asked Mi Xi instead: "If you meet a monster, can you come back so safely?" So, you're not encountering a monster, it's a domestic or wild animal. You're just deceiving yourself. Then you learn the screams of that monster and I'll listen to it! β
Mi Xi thought about it for a moment and learned the screams of monsters.
After listening to the cry of Qi Xixue, the magpie was so happy that he held his stomach and laughed.
Mi Xi asked ignorantly: "Wife, are you scared, is your son unwilling to listen to my strange scream?" Damn it! β
The magpie stopped laughing, and said in a laughing trill, "What a donkeyβstupid." β
As soon as he heard this, he was not happy, his face was flat, and he asked sharply: "Who are you stupid?" What am I, then you are my daughter-in-law, not what. It's a race that ran out of you to sell cut cakes! β
The magpie said: "Say you're stupid and complain!" You can't even hear the cat barking, who is stupid if you're not stupid? In less than three months, Cuihua will give birth to kittens, believe it or not? β
Yu Xihu shook his head suspiciously.
The magpie said to her skeptical husband, "Don't think about it so much, go to sleep!" I'm going to the ledger tomorrow. Go to sleep! I watched you go to sleep first! β
