Chapter 118: The Gift of the Ancestors (7)
The sun shone down on the hillside, and the clouds drifted over the gentle hills, casting a cloud shadow on the distant mountaintops. At the foot of the mountain is a field of golden sunflowers, burning in the fiery sun.
There's a languid old song playing on a backyard tape recorder, whydosethesungoonshining?
whydothebirdsgoonsinging?
whydothestarsglowabove?
don`ttheyknowitstheendoftheworld?
Guan Xinyue listened intently, and the singing was like a hot mist in Futian Mountain, which made people suffocate and didn't want to move. She remembered that it was her grandfather's favorite song, but she couldn't remember at what time it was often played at home.
"Is this the sunshine?" A voice asked.
She jerked her head back, and there was only a little girl sitting on a low wall in the backyard. She has long thick hair, wears a small plaid skirt, and carries a panda pocket diagonally. She doesn't look to be more than ten years old, her arms and legs are still fleshy, and she wears a Disney princess plastic crown on her head.
Guan Xinyue should have felt frightened, but the girl's eyes looked at her sadly and worriedly, and she suddenly forgot the reason for her fear.
Before she could reply, the little girl asked, "Is this your home?" ”
"Yes." Guan Xinyue said, "Where are you from?" ”
The little child sighed, "I'm the first one." ”
"What first man?" Guan Xinyue was puzzled, but for some reason, she automatically spoke to the child, "You mean, are you lost?" ”
"Ah, I'm lost, so to speak." The child said. "I'm coming to see your home."
"Then I'll send you home to find your mother......" Guan Xinyue's words were interrupted by the child before she could finish speaking.
"Your grandfather died?"
Guan Xinyue was choked.
"Tong Yan...... Mowgli? The child immediately said tentatively, as if he was not sure of his words.
Guan Xinyue laughed, "Well, my grandfather is dead." ”
"Your heart hurts." The child pointed to her heart.
"People are like this, and others will be sad when they lose someone who cares about them."
"The end of the world?" The child asked thoughtfully.
"It's the end of my own world, and others have to live in a happy world for a long time." Guan Xinyue said involuntarily. "If the people who care about themselves are gone, then their world will come to an end. But you kid ......."
"Then I'm at the end of the world." The child interrupted her again, her stature was small, her eyes were simple and direct, and her tone of voice carried a hint of authority, as if she had been born to be a queen.
Just when Guan Xinyue felt that something didn't seem quite right and began to think about it, the child spoke again, "Your grandfather is dead...... Won't you give the gift of life before leaving? ”
"What is the gift of life?" Guan Xinyue asked, she had never heard of mages saying this, and mages didn't have much tradition.
"My ancestors, before they left, they should have bequeathed me a lifetime of knowledge and experience, and that was the gift of life." The child said.
"Are you talking about teaching me to be a human being? That's right. I was brought up by my grandfather, and he taught me to learn knowledge, and he also taught me the principles of his life. Guan Xinyue said.
The child thought for a while and nodded thoughtfully, "It can also be said that it passes on a part of life." But I don't know where my parents went, I didn't get much of a gift of life, only some vague parts that couldn't be snatched away. ”
Guan Xinyue thought about it, and changed the child's old-fashioned and childish words by herself, "What do you mean...... Are you an orphan? ”
"Orphans?" The child asked in surprise, staring at her with dark eyes, as if he didn't understand the word. But as if staring into her eyes could read her, the child understood in an instant, "Oh, you said orphan, well, that's right, I'm an orphan." ”
Guan Xinyue felt sorry for her, "Where do you live?" Welfare home? ”
The child looked at her again in surprise, "Why are you distressed again?" ”
"I ......" Guan Xinyue didn't know how to explain, and she was embarrassed to explain that she sympathized with and loved a helpless child.
"Oh." The child looked at her with great interest, "You love me, then am I your sister?" ”
Guan Xinyue looked at her in surprise, she was really still a child, and children were very cute. She couldn't help but follow her and say, "You're my sister." ”
The child jumped off the low wall, reached out and took Guan Xinyue's hand, and put his little hand on Guan Xinyue's palm. Guan Xinyue smiled and shook her hand.
"You're lonely, you've always been in the middle of something other than your kind." The child said, "Me too, but I will have many sisters in the future." They will also have some gifts of life, and when we find each other, we will be big children. You were my first sister, ah, though I wasn't your first sister. You're looking for your sister, aren't you? ”
"Why are you ......" Guan Xinyue didn't ask, she couldn't remember what she was going to ask halfway through the question. Roach knew where she was. But I don't understand why he is reluctant to say. He said that the time had not come, and now he had forgotten about it, and when the time came, he would remember. Sounds like nonsense. ”
"None of the mages can be trusted." "They're terrible. When I grow up, I'll help you find your sister. ”
…….
Mahjong suddenly took a step back, "What about Guan Xinyue?" ”
Luo Qi didn't look back, he was looking at Liu Ziyu's magic, and said casually, "She's there." ”
"I sensed something wasn't quite right about her." Mahjong turned around and walked out the door.
"Medical tangles?" Roach looked back this time and hesitated, "But I feel like she's calm." ”
"Is she conscious? Are you still spying on her? So heart-to-hearted......" Mahjong's footsteps paused, "Why can't I feel her anymore?" ”
"No way. She was in the hallway behind the wall, her mind as calm as water. Rocky said, but decided to go out with Mahjong to have a look.
Mahjong stepped out of the room, looked to both sides, and became anxious, "Where is she?" Guan Xinyue! ”
Luo Qi hurriedly ran out and looked over according to the direction of his thoughts, only to see the tall backs of several mages. "Boss Zhao? Uncle Yu. What are you doing? ”
Mahjong scolded in a low voice and rushed over, Guan Xinyue was surrounded by several Lotus Burner mages, and she stood in the corner with her head bowed as if frightened. "What are you doing?"
"Wait." Sect Leader Zhao smiled and turned around to stop him.
"What are you waiting for?" Mahjong said irritably, wanting to push away the cult leader who killed people without blinking.
The clownfish turned its face coldly to look at him, his steps paused, and he suddenly raised his hands to cover his head, and the sudden sharp pain made him tremble.
"Oh my God, it's okay!" Roach catches up from behind, intently attacking the clownfish. The clownfish quickly withdrew the mental attack on Mahjong, and a sharp headache moved away from Mahjong's temple.
"Don't get excited." Sect Leader Zhao came to persuade at this time, "No one wants to hurt the little girl, we stop the doctor because we don't want him to act rashly and hurt the little girl." Roach, why don't you come and have a look. ”
