152. He who died did not die
"You like cats?"
Qiao Du thinks that no one who likes cats is a bad person, although theoretically, Ah Xin is indeed a bad woman.
Maybe this cat is proof of her sin!
"I don't like it."
Ah Xin glanced at the cat, and then whispered in a voice that only she and Qiao Du could hear.
"I used to see such a stray cat in the Chosen Game, gave it something to eat, and then told it to wait for a while, and then I went to complete the task, and when it was over, I came back and found that it had been decades, and it had long since died, and I heard from the people who lived next door that there used to be a cat waiting here every day, waiting for more than ten years."
Her tone was somewhat understated.
It's like turning off the stove because the water in the kitchen is boiling, and you miss the best shots of the TV series.
It's a pity, but it's just a pity.
For Ah Xin, who has a long life, she may really just be away for a while.
But for that cat, this moment is a lifetime.
Qiao Du felt that this kind of thing had probably happened to her countless times, and she was probably used to seeing it a long time ago.
"There's something wrong."
Qiao Du said loudly.
"What?"
Just when Ah Xin thought that Qiao Du was going to start a long talk about the theory of life, compassion and other topics, he said something unexpectedly.
"You can't call a free kitten a stray cat."
Qiao Du said seriously.
Ah Xin looked at Qiao Dui, was silent for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"Indeed, it is a free kitten."
The cat rubbed the end of its tail against Xin's ankle and lay beside her with its front paws.
At this moment, a low chirp sounded, like the song of a whale, and it seemed even rougher.
Enya walked out of the house and came to the door, the drizzle falling on her shoulders and wetting the ends of her hair.
She looked up and saw a burning whale churning in the clouds that seemed to be made of flames, and beside it, a huge whirlwind of ice crystals was condensing, but unfortunately, these things were unreal and unreal, looming in the rain.
"Not me."
Captain Isaac immediately waved his hand.
Everyone's eyes turned to Noah.
"Well, I did think about these things before, but if you can't leave the Veil of the World, you can't talk about anything, can you?"
Noah stretched out his hands and looked left and right at him.
Obviously, this is what he saw in his dreams.
"It's beautiful."
Enya sighed with emotion, and the burning whale quickly burrowed into the clouds, and at this time, the girl suddenly noticed that behind the clouds, there seemed to be a huge shadow wriggling.
The shadow was so large that it covered almost half of the storm clouds, and with each lightning lightning, its shape changed, giving people a sense of fear and weirdness.
The dark-blond-haired girl was stunned, she didn't know if it was a dream or if there was really some kind of monster peering out the earth behind the clouds.
As the rain faded, the barrier of the sacred tree disappeared immediately.
A strong wind blew and ruffled her hair, and the rain fell down, wetting Enya's hair and clothes.
She nearly lost her feet and was quickly pulled back into the house by Noah.
"Just now, me"
Enya now found that the illusory dream products seemed to be dissipated with the decrease of the rain, and she looked out the door, at the location of the huge shadow just now, but between the flickering lightning, only the dark clouds were still thick, and there was no trace of the huge shadow behind the curtain.
"That's a dream, too?"
Enya didn't know why.
Ah Xin glanced at Qiao Dui, and the cat beside her disappeared, only the table legs.
"We were lucky."
Noah glanced at the situation in his mother's room, closed the door carefully, and clapped his hands lightly.
"If there is a storm tonight, it at least means that it will be sunny in the next few days, and it is a good time for us to go."
The voyage of the float boat does not require fuel, as long as it does not encounter wind and rain, it can even travel day and night, and it is still important to choose a sunny day to set off.
"Rest early, we're going to pack up tomorrow and say goodbye to this place for good."
The boy swept his gaze over the crowd, and by this time, he seemed more and more calm.
The experience of the second day was nothing worth mentioning.
After the fresh rain, the rainbow island was filled with the smell of earth, and Noah carried the dried meat of the flying squirrel into the cabin, water, and dried vegetables, which were enough for the rest of them to eat for at least three weeks, and on the way, they had to hunt some creatures that live in the clouds for food.
In the evening, the weather for tomorrow was determined, and Noah decided to start the morning at sunrise the next day.
After the last meal at home, everyone was cleaning up, and Noah's mother suddenly walked in.
She held a knitted scarf in her hand, which was not much on the island, and she had knitted it by dismantling one of her sweaters.
"It's definitely cold there, you don't want to catch a cold."
Noah's mother, Martha, a woman who had lost her husband and was now about to see her son leave, sighed softly.
She can't go on adventures with Noah, her legs and feet are not convenient, and in the midst of extreme storms, she will only be a burden.
"Hmm."
Noah took the scarf and immediately wrapped it around his neck, very warm.
"That dress was made for me by your father, he picked up the fallen cargo when he was hunting in the sea of clouds, and there was a sweater like this in it, I made it into a scarf now, and I put it away properly."
Noah's mother shook his hand.
"Don't worry, in the evening, our family will be reunited in our dreams again."
"Noah, no matter what, you are your mother's pride."
In Hongdao, which blurs the boundary between life and death, this may be the reason why she can send her son away so calmly.
The dead do not die, but return as part of the dream.
Outside, the illusory procession reappeared, this time, some new beings appeared, some things that had been seen disappeared, and people's dreams reappeared, connected together, like a grand carnival.
An illusory figure appeared next to Noah's mother, it was a younger man, he looked at Noah, his eyes were full of pride, the man reached out and tried to pat Noah lightly on the shoulder, but the hand only passed through.
Noah's mother looked at the illusory man, and they both looked at Noah again.
It was as if he was about to step onto the stage of glory tomorrow.
"I'm so impressed!"
Qiao Dui's eyes were full of tears, causing Enya on the side to laugh back at the tears that were also rolling in her eyes.
Captain Isaac was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ah Xin stood in the corner, watching all this with cold eyes.
Only the illusory kitten flashed from under the hem of her skirt and burrowed into the wall, not knowing where it went.
