Chapter 13: Owls under the moon

The conversation outside the door became a whisper.

Grandma Duoduo walked out of the stove room at some point, and sighed when she saw Ah Qiao's small, clumpy figure. She originally wanted to go out and invite the Cui family's tooth boy to come in for dinner together, but because of Ah Qiao, she couldn't take her eyes off Ah Qiao.

By the time Grandma Duoduo finally figured out that everyone has their own destiny, Duoduo and Archie have already said goodbye to the magician and returned from the courtyard.

"Why don't you leave your Uncle Yazai to eat at home?"

"He doesn't like what you do. He's brain-dead...... No, Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles. Duoduo replied.

Without waiting for Archie to speak, Ah Qiao stood up.

She looked at it, the wind was light, as if she still didn't know anything.

After dinner, Grandma Duoduo spread mats for the three children, and Ah Qiao refused to sleep at Duoduo's house, so she had to go back to her own house and sleep in her own bed.

Archie had this intention, and when he saw his sister like this, he was happy to go home together.

Seeing this, Duoduo was about to sleep with her, but was stopped by Grandma Duoduo.

In the frustration of the flowers, the little brother and sister stepped over the short fence wall and returned to their home. Guoguo shook her head and tail, and followed her home.

Sprinkle brown rice for the chickens, and the ducks will eat their own food in Xingyue Lake.

After brushing their teeth and washing their feet, the lights in the little siblings' room were turned on, the door was forked shut, and they sat cross-legged on the bed.

Archie had been worried that her sister would ask her grandmother about it, but luckily, her sister didn't ask anything.

The two of them stared at each other until they couldn't open their eyes, and then they fell asleep on the bed. On this night, the two of them chose to ignore the dazzling lights.

In the middle of the night, Archie had a strange dream in which the water of Xingyue Lake suddenly swelled, and the water of the lake crossed the forest path, overflowed their yard, and flooded into the house, soaking their bed.

My sister sobbed in fear. Although he was very sleepy, he could only open his eyes, intending to get up and sleep on the bed that was high and low.

Driven by a sense of responsibility, he struggled to open his eyes, but the blinding light forced him to close them again immediately.

However, even this short opening of his eyes made him see a small figure sitting on the edge of the bed, and the shoulders of the small figure shrugged one after another.

Before Archie's mind could react, the person subconsciously got up. The sheets pressed under the legs were wet......

"Sister!" Archie shouted, "Did you wet the bed?" ”

The head on the shoulders of the little figure was lowered even deeper.

"It doesn't matter. Just bask in the sun after dawn. Don't cry! ”

"Woo...... I miss grandma...... Brother, did you say that grandma's surgery went well? ”

"It's going to go well!" Archie clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in reply.

After answering, the whole person was stunned, didn't they hide it from their sister together? When did my sister find out?

"You, when did you find out?"

Ah Qiao turned around at the right time, with tears in her eyes, her eyes looked extremely bright, as if there were little stars hiding in them, her voice was agitated, and her expression was a little excited, avoiding her brother's inquiry, and instead said: "Brother! Let's go see grandma! Grandma must have missed us more than she did. If we show up at the door of her hospital room, she's half as well as she is! ”

Archie was instantly infected, and a small heart was ready to move. However, he is older: "The mountain road is difficult to walk, and it takes two or three hours to walk if it looks close." ”

"I can walk down!"

"What if you encounter a dangerous animal?"

"Let's climb up the tree!"

"What if we get lost?"

"No, it won't! There is only one way to the outside, and even the blind can't get lost! ”

Archie thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he really couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"It's just a little ......" Ah Qiao was a little depressed and lowered his head.

"What?"

"It's Monday and my brother should go to school."

"This one. It doesn't matter! "Although Archie is not the top student, he is not tired of studying. The reason he said it didn't matter was because he had planned to take a leave of absence on Monday. He didn't want to leave his sister alone at home.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to school, let's go. Leave early and arrive early. ”

At the instigation of his sister Ah Qiao, Archie's blood surged into his brain, and he agreed on impulse.

They brought Guoguo, two eggs, a bottle of water, and Archie brought the 48 yuan of New Year's money he had saved over the years. The little brother and sister hit the road in the silence.

Because the lights were on indoors, the lights were bright, and the only clock in the house was in grandma's room, and no one of the little brothers and sisters remembered to see what time it was before they went out, so they went out.

Had no idea they were out at two in the morning.

Out of the stockade, go along the avenue. The closer you are to the village, the better the road conditions.

After walking for an hour, Archie suddenly remembered that there was a trail nearby, interspersed with it, which could save a lot of foot strength. Although Ah Qiao is smart, she is young in the end, and in the vast dark world, as long as her brother holds her hand, she will go wherever her brother goes.

As he walked, Archie sadly discovered that he had lost his way in the night.

The trail could not be seen clearly in the thick of the night, and as he walked east, he felt that there were too many weeds on the road; Walking further west, I felt that there were more weeds and thorns.

The feeling that the sky is still far from dawn.

Archie panicked and pinched his sister's hands. He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have taken a shortcut, and wanted to go back, but where was the way he came, he lost the guidance of the light, and his eyes were black.

The chilling cry of the owl rang out from far and near.

"Brother......" Ah Qiao said quietly.

Archie's heart tightened, for fear that his sister would expose the fact that he was lost.

However, the younger sister spoke up to something else: "I remembered the story of watching an owl under a month. ”

"Horror?" Archie shuddered.

"No, it's as beautiful as a song."

"Oh." Archie relaxes. He now had a string in his head, and it was unusually tight.

The beginning of this story is not "Once upon a time" - Ah Qiao speaks, her voice sweet and pure, with a different kind of soothing power.

"One day, my brother and I went out in the middle of the night to see owls."

Archie's attention, instantly attracted, is exactly what they are doing now. It's just that instead of going to see the owl, they went to see the grandmother.

"There was no wind outside, and the big trees stood upright, like tall statues."

Archie felt that the tree next to him was as tall as a sculpture. Some trees have the demeanor of a grandfather, tall and majestic; Some trees have the charm of grandma, beautiful and straight; Some trees are like older brothers and sisters, striking upward; Some trees are like younger siblings, small and fragile.

"The moon is shining brightly, and the sky is bright."

Strange, after her sister said these words, Archie felt that the surroundings were really much brighter. It felt like a bright moon suddenly appeared in the treetops.
