Chapter 52: What I Want to Do
Zuo Qiusheng's whole heart was warm, obviously happy, but he always wanted to cry. The hazy moisture gradually gathered in the eye sockets, and after a while, it condensed into teardrops in the corners of the eyes.
Afraid that his tears would ruin such a warm atmosphere, Zuo Qiusheng quietly lowered his head and secretly wiped away his tears. When he raised his head to look at Luo Anhua again, there was only a simple but warm smile on his face.
Luo Anhua looked at him and smiled very satisfied, and finally his words were not in vain. But the kid laughs better than he cries.
Since you have decided to be good to him from today, you have to start immediately, and you have always done what you say, and you will never procrastinate.
But looking at the child's face, Luo Anhua made another difficulty.
It is impossible for him to care for him and take care of him like Qingyin, and Qingyin has been used to doing these things all these years, and he doesn't need to use himself. But what else can you do?
Luo Anhua tightened his brows, don't look over it and think hard.
Suddenly caught a glimpse of the nine rings in his hand, Luo Anhua's eyes lit up.
Buy him what he wants to buy and accompany him to do what he wants, isn't it okay!
With a lazy stretch of his arm, Luo Anhua returned the nine rings to Zuo Qiusheng and asked, "Xiaoqiu, why do you like this?"
Zuo Qiusheng lowered his head, and when he looked at the object in his hand, the expression on his face jumped with excitement, and he smiled stupidly and plucked the small rings, and said in a low voice: "When I was a child, I saw other children play with this, and they always said that whoever solves the more rings will be great!" said and faded his smile, and some grievances spread from the corners of his mouth, "But my mother has no money and can't afford this, so I have never played with it." ”
It turned out that this was the case, Luo Anhua glanced at the small pile of broken things he liked in the corner of the wall, and chuckled: "What about those, all of them?"
Zuo Qiusheng turned around and looked at it, nodded a little happily, and said, "Well, it's all of them." ”
But after turning his head, there was a faint loss in his eyes, and he muttered in a low voice, "Those things are toys that I liked very much when I was a child and wanted to buy them, and I liked them when I first saw them today, but after I bought them, I found that I didn't seem to be interested in them anymore." He lowered his head and shook the nine rings in his hand, and said, "This is the only one I still like." ”
Luo Anhua looked at the nine consecutive rings and sighed lightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a clear smile.
Yes, those memories of the old days, no matter how beautiful they are, are just memories.
After so much time, you have changed, and your preferences will naturally change. The best things in those memories, after being washed away by time, have long ceased to be what they were in their eyes at that time. You don't like them anymore, that's normal.
Luo Anhua's eyes brightened, and a vague white figure began to appear in his mind, from far to near, gradually becoming clear.
He narrowed his eyes vigorously, but he couldn't see her face clearly, only her long hair fluttering and her skirt flying.
In her memory, she always looked at herself with a smile, and her big smart eyes were full of anger and joy.
But she was gone, and she left without hesitation. After so many years, she has been waiting, but she has never returned.
Luo Anhua's eyes looked at the void, looking nostalgic and crazy.
Everything in the world will change with time, and all the good things will fade with time, but if you come back, will it still be the same as it was back then?
Will my feelings for you fade with the passage of time?
I've asked myself many times, but the answer is never no.
Because even after so many years, every time I think of your appearance, my heartbeat is still the same as it was back then, and it has never changed.
Stretching out his hand to caress the jade ring, Luo Anhua's eyes were as sad as frost. You are the nine links that I can't let go of in my heart.
It's just that I'm not as lucky as him to have another chance.
Luo Anhua closed his eyes tightly, and his arm slipped weakly to his side.
Zuo Qiusheng noticed his abnormal look and frowned a little puzzled.
I have known him for so many years, and I have never seen him with such a sad expression. At this moment, Zuo Qiusheng suddenly felt that the ghost king was particularly unlike the ghost king.
I just watched him and waited for a long time, but he never opened his eyes. Zuo Qiusheng was a little anxious, and grabbed his arm and shook it gently.
"Ghost King, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Anhua opened his eyes in a trance, and the face that had never been clear suddenly dissipated from his eyes.
It's been so long, so long that I've forgotten what you look like.
With a wry smile, Luo Anhua's voice was sad and weak, "I used to like it, but I didn't get it." ”
Zuo Qiusheng frowned, and intuitively felt that it should be something, so he said, "Then let's go out and look for it, maybe we can meet it with luck?"
Luo Anhua was amused by his sincere look, and finally came back to his senses from the past, and showed that expression of indifference to everything, and said with a smile, "I have been looking for so many years and have not found it, do you think you will be more capable than me?"
Think about it, the ghost king can't find it, how can he find it?
Sighing with some regret, Zuoqiu lowered his head sullenly, when will he be able to do something for the ghost king?
Seeing his thoughts at the moment, Luo Anhua shook his wide white sleeves and said deliberately: "My beloved things must be found by myself, if someone else sends them, then what's the point." ”
Seeing that Zuo Qiusheng was attracted by these words and raised his head to look at himself, Luo Anhua deliberately said again, "The important thing is the process, so I must do this by myself." ”
Zuo Qiusheng didn't understand this, looked at Luo Anhua's eyes with some uncertainty, and asked lightly, "Really?"
Luo Anhua continued to lie without blushing and heartbeat, his voice was very confident and loud, "Of course it's true, how could I lie to someone!"
Although there are still some regrets, the ghost king said that he would find it himself, and it seems that even if he has the ability, he can't help. Thinking about it like this, the haze in Zuo Qiusheng's heart dissipated by more than half.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Luo Anhua hurriedly led the conversation to the point, and said: "I heard the old man who sold pastries say that tonight's year-end night market is very lively, and there are all kinds of good things. Do you have anything else you want, how about I take you there and buy them all?"
The ghost king can say this, Zuo Qiusheng is already very happy in his heart, more than buying anything.
But tilting his head and thinking about it for a long time, Zuo Qiusheng really didn't think of what to buy. But I didn't want to sweep away the ghost king's interest, so I had to work hard to turn my little brain, desperately searching for the target in my brain.
Luo Anhua saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so he had to open his mouth to induce: "Is there anything you want to eat or drink?"
Zuo Qiusheng pouted and shook his head, and said, "Sister Qingyin's cooking and pastries are delicious, and the flower wine she brews is also delicious, and the things here are not as good as what she makes!"
Luo Anhua wanted to refute it, but when he thought about it, it was really like this, and he couldn't refute it at all. These days in the world, I don't eat anything fragrant, I don't get drunk when I drink anything, and I read the eight treasures of fish and peach blossom wine made by the girl every day, and it seems that my mouth is really being nourished by her.
Since this doesn't work, let's do something else.
Luo Anhua said again, "This is about to be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve in the world, don't you have anything you want to do?"
Zuo Qiusheng was stunned when he heard "Chinese New Year's Eve", when his mother was still there, his favorite was this day. It's just that after I arrived in the demon world, I never had a good time with this festival again.
Zuo Qiusheng looked at Luo Anhua, with a sweet and greasy smile on his face, and said, "I have something I want to do, what I have always wanted to do before." ”
Luo Anhua became excited when he heard this, and said with a smile, "What is it?"
"I'm going to set off fireworks, a lot of fireworks, just near the night market, and I'm going to invite all the children around me to come and see them, and I'm going to buy a lot of gifts for the children who come to see the fireworks. ”
This is good! It's simple, it's effortless, it's just a matter of spending some silver, Luo Anhua was very satisfied with his wish, and nodded happily.
I've seen the fireworks myself, and although it's short-lived, it's still beautiful, at least much better than those tattered gadgets.
"Okay, I'll put it with you. ”
"Hmm!" Zuo Qiusheng nodded vigorously, laughing more and more happily.
In fact, Zuo Qiusheng still had one more thing he wanted to do, but he didn't tell the ghost king.
In addition to children, I also have to prepare a few more gifts, the ghost king's, the demon king's, Qingyin's sister's, Qingyin's sister's, and master's, one for each person, a gift prepared by himself sincerely.
Oh, yes! Zuo Qiusheng's mind turned, and he thought that he had almost left a person.
Although they have just met, the Demon Lord may bring her back to the Demon Realm, so he also has to prepare a gift for her-Miss Fengyin.
As soon as Miss Fengyin's name passed through his mind, Zuo Qiusheng suddenly sobered up, didn't that person say that Miss Fengyin was out of the house when he came just now?
Zuo Qiusheng got up in a hurry, grabbed Luo Anhua's sleeve and shook it, "That's right, that's right, what about Miss Fengyin's affairs? Are we going to go out to find her quickly? If she doesn't come back, what should the Demon Lord do when she asks?" The Demon Lord still wants to take her back to the Demon Realm!"
Luo Anhua was shocked by him and then remembered, he was really confused, how could he leave this child's matter behind! Thinking about the gloomy face of the Demon King, Luo Anhua's body trembled, and the matter of that girl was more important at the moment.
But this matter is not so difficult to do, and besides, Wu Erye can still abduct the child who has protected him for so long!
Luo Anhua shook off Zuo Qiusheng's hands that shook his sleeves, and said, "What's the hurry, this seat has its own way to find her." With a wave of his right palm, the two windows above the beauty couch "slammed" open.
Luo Anhua closed his eyes and whispered a trick, and in just an instant, a gust of cold wind suddenly poured in from outside the window, blowing Zuo Qiusheng shivering. I only felt that something had come to me, but when I opened my eyes, I saw nothing.
Luo Anhua smiled, stretched out his right hand and waved his long sleeve, and when Zuo Qiusheng looked again, a snow-white bird had stopped on the ground, pecking at the pastry crumbs on the ground little by little.
This bird is about the same size as a goshawk, but it has a body and tail fins that are more elegant than a phoenix, decorated with snow-white smooth feathers, and a pair of big transparent eyes like black jade, which is very clever and likable.
Luo Anhua reached out and touched its feathers lovingly, and said softly, "Go ahead, find out the child for me." ”
The bird understood its master's words, stopped pecking, raised its head to look at Luo Anhua, let out a soft "coo", then turned around, spread its wings and flew out.
Zuo Qiusheng was shocked to find that the moment it flew off the ground, it disappeared again as it had been when it came in.
