Devilish whispers surrounded Shang Li's ears, and Shang Li just felt a little low.

His feelings of depression and disappointment are not something that can be added in a day or two.

The abyss under his feet was dragging him down little by little.

Shang Li didn't linger any longer, he turned and left. First, he went to the well to fetch water and carefully disposed of his dirty body.

The water in the well was cold, and the people in the family did not boil hot water for Shang Li, so Shang Li could only use cold water.

Shang Li, who still looked like a child, was very weak, and he couldn't have cold water to pour directly on his body. Of course, Shang Li naturally knew this truth, so he didn't pour water directly on himself to complete the task of bathing. Instead, he used a handkerchief dipped in water to wipe his dirty body clean.

After a long time, Shang Li cleaned up all the dirty places on his body before pouring out the dirty water in the bucket.

After Shang Li wiped his body clean, he still heard the sound of quite a lively sound in the house, Shang Li didn't pay much attention, he walked to the chicken coop where he lived as always.

There are a few chicks in the chicken coop, and they are very well-behaved and do not run around at night.

And there is no place for Shang Li to live here, so he can only live in the chicken coop. When the weather is quite cold, Shang Li will be in the firewood room.

Shang Li went to a corner of the chicken coop that had been handled by himself, and then took out his quilt.

The quilt they gave Shang Li was very thin, even a little torn. But the night was very cold, and Shang Li couldn't sleep at all at first.

Later, Shang Li was really cold, so he thought of a way, Shang Li collected the chicken feathers in the chicken coop and used them as the missing fluff in his quilt.

In this way, at night, Shang Li would not feel cold.

I don't know how long it took, Shang Lizu gradually became full of sleep.

I don't know if the people in the room are asleep? And he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

What happened today made Shang Li feel a little more at ease.

Before going to bed, Shang Li thought slightly: I don't know what happened to that Liuying sister?

She looked at the victory with herself, and she was not a bad person. It's just that I don't know when he will be able to talk to Liuying like he did today.

As soon as he thought of this, Shang Li felt a little pity.

Because, that was the first time he met a child his own age.

Shang Li has always wanted to have playmates with children of the same age like the children he sees outside. It's just that the people in this family have never let Shang Li do what he likes, and he can only listen to them from beginning to end, but he is still a child.

A faint light burst out in the dark night.

It floated, and the small point of light landed on the tip of Shang Li's nose and stopped.

At this time, the people in the family had just fallen asleep.

Shang Li just felt that the tip of his nose was a little itchy, and when he opened his eyes slightly, Shang Li saw a ball of light that stayed on the tip of his pen in front of him.

Be...... Firefly?

Shang Li just felt a little strange. After a closer look, Shang Li was sure that it was a firefly.

Although he was a little surprised, Shang Li still opened his eyes wide and looked at it.

The firefly rested on the tip of Shang Li's nose and glowed faintly, the light was not dazzling, but a little soft in the darkness.

Miraculously, Shang Li stared at the firefly like this, but it didn't avoid or retreat, staring at him with a pair of eyes for a while.

There was a faint wind in the night, and at this moment, the fireflies that stayed on the tip of Shang Li's nose suddenly spread their wings and floated away.

Shang Li was stunned, he subconsciously got up and watched the figure of the firefly leaving.

It didn't stay, and he didn't stop it.

Until that light leaves here.

Where it flies, it is the land of freedom.

......

I don't know when, Shang Li was dazed, and lay down again, his feet gradually full of sleep.

At the moment when the fireflies flew away, Sun Sijing and Xiaoqing stared.

It didn't know that Sun Sijing and Xiaoqing were staying on the eaves at this moment.

Sun Sijing's eyes with a somewhat indifferent color glanced at the firefly that had left.

It seems that because it is late at night at this time, Xiaoqing, who is sitting next to Sun Sijing, is a little drowsy, but Sun Sijing looks energetic.

Sun Sijing...... Why are we here? Xiaoqing asked in a daze.

"Because the person we're looking for is right here."

"Hmm...... Is it the little one? ”

"Yes."

Sun Sijing glanced at Xiaoqing beside him with sideways eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Let's not go back to the sky first, if you are sleepy, just sleep next to me." ”

“...... Well. ”

Xiaoqing's work and rest time is very punctual, eating and sleeping can be said to be very pointed, just like now, when the time comes to sleep, Xiaoqing will naturally be drowsy.

Sun Sijing also recognized this.

Now there are only him and Xiaoqing who go down to earth, so naturally he will take care of Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing fell asleep beside Sun Sijing in a daze, and Sun Sijing didn't seem to be sleepy, he just lay down next to Xiaoqing, looking at the faint starlight in the sky with his eyes open.

Seeing Xiaoqing's body trembling halfway, Sun Sijing guessed that it was slightly cool at night in this mortal world, so he cast a spell for Xiaoqing, so that she could resist the cold in her sleep at night.

The two of them slept side by side in such a gloomy place, but no one knew.

......

Until the soft white light fell on the second day.

Shang Li, who was sleeping in the chicken coop, was urged to get up early by the old man at home.

The old man's speech was very indecent, and his voice was like a roar to call Shang Li to get up.

Shang Li heard the sound, and he was urged to get up by the old man.

Shang Li was helpless, so he could only get up according to his wishes.

Shang Li washed up quickly with a calm face, and followed the old man out on the street.

Shang Li, who arrived on the street, just obediently followed the old man and carried things for him.

The old man sternly warned him not to escape.

Shang Li just replied lightly, and the others didn't say anything.

The old man and the peddler were bidding back and forth, looking at the two of them as if they were about to fight.

Shang Li didn't speak, he just waited on the sidelines.

Shang Li's gaze lingered and stopped. Eventually, his gaze fell on a dark alley. Shang Li's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were a little flat, but he didn't know what he was thinking about when he looked at the dark alley at this time.

Shang Li vaguely remembered that when he ran away yesterday, he was through this alley when he saw the abandoned house and met Liuying.

Speaking of which, yesterday's events are like a dream.

It's just that he can't run away now!

Helpless, Shang Li had to let out a long sigh and turn his attention back.

By this time, the old man and the peddler had already finished arguing.

The old man was stubborn, but he didn't expect that the peddler was also stubborn. Naturally, he refused this loss-making business.

Seeing that he was so determined, he didn't bother with him anymore, and the old man just snorted coldly and left with Shang Li and angry scolding.

Shang Li withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the old man out of the place.

It's just that Shang Li didn't notice that at the alley just now, a small head suddenly came out, glanced at him, and hurriedly retracted it.

It didn't take long for the old man to take Shang Li back.

Because the noise was getting heavier and heavier, Sun Sijing and Xiaoqing, who were originally lying on the eaves, were also woken up.

After Shang Li went back, he was naturally contracted by all kinds of work, and the people in the family seemed to think that bullying and suppressing Shang Li was very interesting, so they would make fun of Shang Li with some nonsense from time to time.

But Shang Li has long been used to this kind of joke, and he will avoid it at the right time.

Sun Sijing and Xiaoqing, who were on the eaves, would come over from time to time to take a look.

The two people on the eaves may be very conspicuous, but after Sun Sijing cast a spell, they couldn't see it.

On this day, Shang Li was still busy as always, watching the rising sun gradually set, and another day passed.

Xiaoqing looked at Sun Sijing beside him, and then asked, "Sun Sijing, how did the child come here?" ”

When the woman in the family beat and scolded Shang Li today, Xiaoqing happened to hear her and suddenly threatened that Shang Li was not his biological child, but just a child he picked up, so that he could know some of his status and proportions in this family.

It can be seen that it is not the first time that Shang Li has been punished after running out and being caught.

"When men and women are together, will they have children?" Xiaoqing has seen what it said in the book that after men and women are together, they will have children.

She also asked Tengu this question when she first read the script.

It's just that until now, Xiaoqing still doesn't quite understand.

Now that the woman mentioned it, Xiaoqing remembered.

"Yes." Sun Sijing just answered Xiaoqing's question lightly.

"That'...... Tengu is your child with whom? Xiaoqing asked again.

Sun Sijing looked at Xiaoqing beside him with a shocked expression, "No...... What is a tengu, my child with whom? I'm still single, where did I get any children? ”

"But...... How did the dog come to that day? Xiaoqing asked again.

"He's not human, he's a dog, of course born of a male dog and a female dog." Sun Sijing said lightly.

"Oh, I see!" Xiaoqing suddenly realized, "Then can Sun Sijing and I also have children?" ”

"You ......" Sun Sijing glanced at her with a blush, and scolded her softly: "What nonsense? ”

"Doesn't it mean that men and women can have children when they are together? Why have I been with Sun Sijing for so long, and we don't have any children? Xiaoqing asked.

Sun Sijing said lightly: "It's not what you imagined, kid...... It's not something that can be had by the way. ”

"Oh."

"Don't ask such sensitive questions in the future." Sun Sijing clenched his fists to cover his lips and coughed lightly.

"What do you mean by sensitive issues?" Xiaoqing asked again.

"That's ......" Sun Sijing thought for a while, and then said, "It's about the problems between men and women and children, these things, you ...... You'll understand later. ”

Xiaoqing glanced at Sun Sijing and said, "I already understand." The words that Tengu gave me before said this in the book. ”

Sun Sijing glanced at Xiaoqing and said with a bit of scrutiny: "Are you reading the script now?" ”

Xiaoqing shook her head and said sincerely, "No." ”

"It's good if you don't have it." Sun Sijing muttered quietly.

Of course not, but from time to time Xiaoqing will also listen to Yu Niang's story.

It seems that because she has been in the mortal world for three hundred years, Yu Niang is full of mortal stories.

From time to time, Xiaoqing and Tengu listened to it very fascinated.

This storyline is as good as what Tengu brought!

When night comes, sometimes late at night.

Shang Li was about to fall asleep in a daze, but saw that little light suddenly appear in front of him.

Shang Li was stunned, if he was not mistaken, this firefly with a faint light should be the one from yesterday, right?

If not, how could there be fireflies here?

That faint light illuminated the dark world in which Shang Li existed.

It's not too bright, but it's very gentle.

It was so gentle that it gave Shang Li the feeling of being like a mother's hands.

Shang Li didn't quite understand what it was like?

One day, two days.

Yes, it was a day to go.

Shang Li's life is still the same as before.

Another night came, and miraculously, Shang Li saw the firefly that came to him again.

Shang Li watched it come three times, and felt that it had gradually become much better.

Shang Li had never seen fireflies, but he knew that fireflies were only found in the summer, and they were rarely seen in the village.

Seeing the faint glow of this little insect, Shang Li guessed that it was a firefly.

Five days have passed since that day.

On the night of the past five days, whenever he settled at that time, the firefly would suddenly fly to his side, but after a while, after Shang Li whispered a few words to it, it flew away again.

It seemed to know Shang Li's difficulties, so it didn't say anything to him, and deliberately took away a lot of his rest time.

Although it was a hurried farewell, it also made Shang Li's simple life some fun.

On the sixth day, Shang Li couldn't help but go out secretly.

Finally, he saw Hotaru again.

Just like when I first saw her, Hotaru's appearance remained the same.

After seeing Shang Li appear in front of her, Liu Ying was not very surprised, she just looked at Shang Li with an indifferent face.

When this pair of friends meet, it can be said that they are like long-lost brothers and sisters, and they will talk in detail as soon as they meet, just like a pair of good friends who have been separated for many years, and when they meet again, there will always be a lot of topics lingering in their mouths.

Liuying also seems to enjoy chatting with Shang Li very much.

And Shang Li also seems to enjoy the happiness of having his peers with him.

Because Shang Li's identity is relatively special, almost everyone in the town knows that Shang Li is the child who was picked up by the family, he was beaten and scolded, sneaked out and was arrested, these things are all placed here, and the children of other families see it, and they don't dare to play with Shang Li.

At first, when Shang Li secretly came out to play with other children of the same age, he was seen by the old man in the family and the old woman, and when he grabbed Shang Li in the past, he was punched and kicked, and he also spoke ill of other children, and his attitude was very bad.

Later, no one of his peers dared to approach Shang Li.

Slowly, Shang Li also got used to it.

Being able to meet Liuying and play with children of the same age, Shang Li was naturally happy in his heart.

It's just that such a quiet and happy time just passed in a hurry, and watching the sky gradually fall, Shang Li had to say goodbye to Liuying and leave here first.

However, after Shang Li went back, he was beaten and scolded.

"Where did you sneak away again, you bastard? Yes? ”

"The next time you're running out, I'll break your legs."

“......”

A series of demonic whispers surrounded Shang Li's ears, and he basically didn't listen to them.

I just feel that there are mosquitoes in my ears.

Shang Li let them beat and scold, and then they went on peacefully.

Anyway, they said that they would break Shang Li's legs, but in fact, it was just a joke, and they used it to threaten Shang Li.

Because Shang Li knew that if they really broke their legs, then how could they let Shang Li work?

So, but with Shang Li as their punching bag, their family naturally won't let Shang Li break off and be lame.

Otherwise, they will be the ones who will lose.

Shang Li's face was slightly scarred, which was very obvious.

But he didn't seem to mind, instead used to nest in the chicken coop, lethargic.

Sometimes, Shang Li wonders, when will this life come to an end?

A year from now, 10 years from now?

When, exactly? Even Shang Li himself is not sure.

Perhaps, there is no end......

But Shang Li knew that it was very good that he could be alive.

The moonlight that night was very good, and it seemed that it was because he had a good chat with Liuying today, so Shang Li was a little happy, so he didn't go to bed very early.

He looked at the beautiful moon in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

A lot of sadness and depression arose in my heart.

That night, the firefly came to his side again and lingered.

Shang Li found that it seemed to be very happy today.

Shang Li saw it around him, and he was even happier than a few days ago.

He was very happy to see it, and Shang Li seemed to have a rare smile.

During this period of time, whether it was a firefly or a firefly, it brought him a lot of fun.

It would be nice to have such a happy time in the future.

Shang Li sighed lightly, revealing a wry smile, thus sighing.

To be continued!
