Chapter 401: Paper Kite and Two Sparrows

"Knock Knock ......"

In the office, Editor-in-Chief Lou is immersed in the story of "Ordinary and Great", a great chapter,

Still watching.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

When it sounded for the first time, the editor-in-chief Lou, who was full of thoughts in the book, still hadn't responded.

But then it rang twice,

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

“…… Come in......"

Coming back from the book, Editor-in-Chief Lou was still a little reluctant to give up on the content of the great chapter, and glanced at it a few more times.

He raised his head and shouted outside the office door.

Then I saw someone outside the door unscrewing the doorknob, pushing the door and leaning in.

"Editor Lou, why are you still here?"

"When I was walking, I suddenly remembered that I didn't take anything, and when I came back to get my things, I realized that the lights in the office hadn't been turned off yet."

Outside the door came in the publishing house, and the editor under her looked at the editor-in-chief Lou who was still in the office with some curiosity.

When Editor-in-Chief Lou heard this, he turned his head and looked out the window, only to find that he didn't know how long it had been night.

The night covered the land, only the city lights were on, and the cars on the roads that could be seen in the near distance were much sparser.

It's late at night,

"Reading a book, it's a little fascinating. You go back first, and I'll be gone later." ”

Editor-in-Chief Lou looked back at the "Ordinary and Great" in his hand.

"In this case, then I'll go first, Editor-in-Chief Lou."

When the editor left, he glanced at the book in the hand of Editor-in-Chief Lou a few more times.

It seems that he is curious about what kind of editor-in-chief Lou can forget to sleep and eat like this?

A new book by dog author?

But the daily updates of the dog author "Kite" are not enough for Editor-in-Chief Lou to watch for so long.

Curious and confused, the editor left.

And Editor-in-Chief Lou looked at the office door that was re-closed,

Stood up, got ready to leave.

just got up, looked back at "Ordinary and Great" still in his hand,

and a little itchy,

I've seen a lot of content in the great chapter, and the rest of the plot is really a little unbearable.

After a pause, Editor-in-Chief Lou sat back again.

Well, haven't eaten yet, anyway.

Order a takeout, eat and go back.

When you wait for takeout, you can continue to look at it.

convinced himself,

Editor-in-chief Lou, who quickly ordered a takeout, opened "Ordinary and Great" again.

……

“…… Xi Yuan, where you say that there are kites for sale, you need that kind of kites like paper kites. ”

University Residence Hall, Great Britain.

Xi Yuan and his roommate haven't slept yet.

Xi Yuan held his mobile phone and looked at today's update of "Kite",

The roommate was looking at the English version of "Kite" and saying another word from time to time.

Most of the time, Xi Yuan doesn't need to answer,

If it weren't for calling him at the beginning, Xi Yuan suspected that his roommate was just talking to himself while reading a book.

“…… I'm going to buy her back and put her here...... No, I'm going to find an open space to let her fly, the sky is where she belongs...... Paper kite! My paper kite! ”

The roommate talked to himself again,

Xi Yuan, who opened his mouth to speak and stopped, closed his mouth again, lowered his head and continued to look at his phone.

“…… Xi Yuan, you flew a kite when you were a child. ”

“…… There is a spare. ”

At this time, the roommate seemed to have finished reading the update of "Kite", and after a pause, he turned back to Xi Yuan and suddenly asked.

This question made some memories unconsciously emerge in Xi Yuan's mind,

"But most of my kites aren't as beautiful as paper kites, and more often than not, I tear off my workbook and make it myself with a watering stick to the bamboo chips."

"Cool, Xi Yuan, you can also make kites?"

"I don't know if it's a kite or not, but it can fly anyway."

Xi Yuan replied with a smile.

He wondered if his roommate wanted him to make a kite next.

He's really a little itchy and a little bit like to make another kite.

However, the roommate asked another question,

"Xi Yuan, has your kite ever broken its string? Where do you say your kite will fly after it breaks its string? ”

Xi Yuan was stunned by this question,

It's not that it's hard to answer, it's just that it brings back more memories.

……

“…… Like the child in the book, when I was a child, I ran on the ridges of the rice fields and flew the kite I made myself. ”

"The village where I live has a few large rice fields, and there is a river on the edge of the rice fields...... This is probably something that every village has, after all, farmland always needs to be irrigated. ”

"The bank of the river is not very wide, maybe a few meters, and the banks are lined with tall and short trees...... The bark of some trees is still used as a spice for salted eggs or braised eggs, and there are still some traces of being cut down. ”

"That day, I was flying a kite, I don't know if the wind above the sky is too strong, or if the string I tied to the kite is not strong enough, when I put the kite up and sat on the ridge and looked at the kite in the sky,"

"A gust of wind blew, and the kite shook in the sky, and I got up quickly, and after a while, the kite broke its string and floated across the river."

Ye Linhan is sitting on the ridge of his hometown at this time,

In the surrounding fields, there are not rice seedlings growing.

Rather, it is the wheat and rape seedlings that are sown in the autumn after the rice is harvested.

The wheat sprouts have just grown half a foot high, and they are smoking tender green buds.

Rape seedlings, just after a few suns and rains, have come to life, and they are also swaying their green leaves in the wind from time to time.

Ye Linhan, who was sitting on the ridge, threw his mobile phone aside and didn't look at it.

It's just that new video about "Kite" that he just posted and released.

The sound of the video came out of the mobile phone and melted into the wind.

Ye Linhan raised his head, not knowing whether to look at the sky or be in a daze.

“…… The bank of the river was not very wide, only a few meters, and the water in the river was not very deep, maybe waist-high, but for me at that time, it was an insurmountable moat. ”

"It's also a distance that is hard to cross."

"On the other side of the river, there are also rice paddies and trees along the river, and the kite broke off and flew over the bank, and I never saw the kite again."

"Maybe it fell into the rice paddies on the other side of the river, or it hid in the dense branches and leaves on the other side of the river, or maybe the kite didn't fly over the bank at all, it fell into the water and was washed away by the water."

"But at that time, I ran to the bank of the river, panting, and went down to the river, looking back and forth on the other side of the river, and hesitated, and finally did not try to cross the river."

"At that time, I thought more that maybe the kite flew farther away, to the distant place where I had never been and couldn't go when I was a child......"

“…… Some time ago, I went back again, and I found that the river did not know if it was dry or if it had always been like that, but it was really not as wide as I remembered, and not as deep as I remembered."

"The water is shallow enough to reach my knees, and the river is so narrow that I might be able to cross it......"

"However, I crossed the river to the other side of the river, and I did not find the kite that I flew over when I was a child...... Probably, he flew farther, I don't know where he is now......"

This is where the video ends,

Ye Linhan stood up from the ridge again, looked forward,

Not far from him, the river that is not very wide,

The trees on the other side of the river are no longer what he remembers.

I don't know how many rounds of felling have been made.

“…… What are you doing there? What a daze in the field, hurry back to eat! ”

At this moment, someone behind him called out to him.

Ye Linhan was stunned for a moment,

It seems that on the day he broke the kite, he was also called home by his mother.

"Okay, I'm back, I'll be back soon, Mom!"

Ye Linhan came back to his senses, picked up the mobile phone on the ground, and responded with a smile, just like when he was a child, he ran across the ridge and ran back to his yard.

Went home.

……

“…… Xi Yuan? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Xi Yuan was stunned for a while, and after his roommate waited for a while, he couldn't help but call him,

Xi Yuan subconsciously responded, and then came back to his senses,

"I'm sorry, I was a little distracted when I remembered something just now."

"It's okay, when I watch 'Kite', it's always easy to fall into distant memories. The dog author's brushstrokes seem to have such magic. ”

"Just like 'The Shepherd Boy Hunts for Immortals', the fairy tales of the dog author, not just fairy tales, always evoke memories of my childhood."

"It's not just the fairy tale itself, it's more like my father, telling me fairy tales on a night with the evening breeze. That feeling of calm and peace of mind......"

The roommate was talking, and he was also a little distracted,

But soon he came back to his senses,

"That's right...... Xi Yuan, can you tell me about the content of today's "Kite" update? ”

"Isn't there an English version?"

"You haven't read the English version, the English version of the update seems to be a day later than the Chinese version...... However, it is understandable that dog authors still need to take time to translate after all. ”

"Then you'll see it tomorrow."

"I hope Xi Yuan will tell me, naturally I hope to know the next plot and story of "Kite" as soon as possible."

"I've told you everything before, why are you still holding the English version and reading it again."

"Hmm...... The answer to this question may hurt you a little. ”

The roommate was silent for a while, and replied with some hesitation.

Xi Yuan looked at his roommate's appearance and was silent.

Isn't it just disgusted that his translation level is not enough?

"Xi Yuan?"

"Okay, let's talk."

"Thank you, I asked for fish and chips in the evening."

"Can you eat something else?"

"Burgers?"

"Let's fish and chips, then."

……

“…… Dad, can you read me today's update of "Kite". ”

"See for yourself. Do you want me to read it to you? ”

In the noodle shop, it's another night.

The last guest who came to eat noodles has been gone for a long time, and no more guests have returned.

The owner of the noodle shop has finished cleaning up the kitchen, wiping the water on his hands, and coming out of the kitchen, ready to close the shop.

His son, the boy held the phone, looked at it for a while, looked up, looked at his father and said.

His father glanced at him and replied casually.

The boy pursed his mouth and handed the phone to his father,

"I just want to hear you tell me, can't you?"

"Good boy, I'm usually the biggest, I think I can do everything by myself, but today I think about it, and I want me to tell you a story."

The owner of the noodle shop listened to his son's words,

But he still took the phone and sat down next to his son.

Then he looked at his son and sighed with emotion,

"But in this way, it is really grown."

Only when you grow up will you miss your childhood.

"Come on, you've spoken, then Dad will tell you today."

The noodle shop owner threw aside the handkerchief and raised the mobile phone he was holding.

The phone screen is still on, showing today's update of "Kite",

"But you can think about it, your dad doesn't have the ability to be an author, at most he reads according to the book, if you put it another way, there may not be someone who can speak well."

"That's all this nonsense."

"When you grow up, your father and I will be old, can you not talk much when you are old?"

"Okay, okay, no nonsense, this is talking, this is talking ......"

“…… Well, didn't I say that the kite paper kite and the cloud were separated, and the paper kite riding the wind went all the way, after crossing the mountains and rivers, I don't know how far it was......"

"Finally, I met someone who could talk again."

"It's two sparrows."

……

The plot of "Kite" continues to progress.

The paper kite, which is separated from the clouds, is carried high by the wind, and then slides low, so that it does not know how far,

On the way forward, I met two more sparrows.

“…… Are you a kite? ”

"Nonsense, it must be a kite."

"But there's no string under the kite."

"The kite has grown up, just like you, and today my mother doesn't agree to let you come out alone!"

"Didn't you come out on the first day, as if you were better than me."

Two sparrows are two brothers,

Seeing the paper kite flying in the sky, first because the paper kite was bigger than them, he avoided it with some fear,

followed and gradually approached curiously,

Finally flew next to the paper kite, and asked the paper kite with some curiosity.

But before the paper kite could reply, the two sparrows fought with each other.

"Hmm...... I'm a kite, my name is Paper Kite. ”

The paper kite replied, and the two sparrows finally stopped bickering, and looked at the paper kite curiously.

On either side of the paper kite, one is flying.

"Paper kites? My name is Brother Ma, and his name is Brother Ma. ”

The sparrow on the left responds to the words of the paper kite.

The sparrow on the right retorted,

"Nonsense, I'm the big brother Ma, and he's the little brother Ma."

"I was born before you!"

"I was born before you! I saw you when I came out, and you're still an egg! ”

The two sparrows quarreled again,

"Hmm...... Hello. ”

It wasn't until the paper kite spoke again that the two sparrows stopped again,

"Hey, hello, hello......"

Hearing the paper kite answer the two of them, the two sparrow brothers asked with some joy,

"Paper kite, you are a kite, why did you fly in one place, how did you get here."

"Hmm...... I followed the wind, and if I wanted to look around, I would go back. ”

"That's right...... Paper kite, do you want to go to our place? ”

"Brother Ma, what are you doing? We're going to pick up the branches and go back......"

The sparrow on the left curiously invited the paper kite,

The sparrow on the right immediately rebuked,

"We picked up the branches, and then we went back with the paper kites! Brother Ma! ”

The sparrow on the left is also called the sparrow on the right, and the sparrow on the right is called Ma Xiaodi.

The sparrow on the right thought for a moment, as if it had suddenly dawned on him.

"yes, that's okay."

"Sure enough, you're Little Brother Ma."

"Nonsense......"

“…… I'm sorry, I'd love to go and see you, but I can only follow the wind. ”

The paper kite was also curious about the two sparrows, but said in a whisper.

"Right? Kites can only follow the wind, what should I do? ”

The sparrow on the right said,

"It's okay! I have a way, we'll take you away! ”

The sparrow on the left said.

"What's the solution?"

The paper kite was a little curious.

"Let's take you, little brother Ma, you hold the wings of the paper kite, and I hold the paper kite."

The sparrow on the left flew up a little and gently grabbed the right wing of the paper kite with its claws.

The sparrow on the right is doing the same.

Two sparrows, just like that, flew forward with paper kites,

Although it is still facing the wind, the paper kite can also go where the wind does not go.

“…… Paper kite, that's it...... You command, and we will go in whichever way you say we are going......"

"And ...... to the left?"

The paper kite also said with some caution,

"Okay, little brother Ma, turn around quickly!"

"Who is it called?"

Although the two sparrows were arguing, they really changed direction according to the words of the paper kite.

The paper kite was also a little pleased.

"Paper kite, where do you say you're going, go on?"

"We seem to be picking up branches?"

"So which way do you say you're going?"

"To this side?"

"I said this way?"

"Then it's still the paper kite that says which way to go, right?"

"Go ahead, right? There must be a lot of branches in the woods over there, huh? ”
