Chapter 76: Stand-in
She threw her hand and threw it at us. A ray of sunlight crossed her eyes, and she flashed out of the corner of her eyes resolutely. I stared at the side of her face, watched her press down on her eyelids and let out a deep sigh of relief—and in that moment of determined pause, I flew up and touched her arm with my fingertips.
I let out a soft cry in my heart: Go further!
"Wow-" Several people cried at the same time. As soon as I turned around, I saw three elves floating in the air, three hands together holding something, seeing me turn around, three little faces looked up at me at the same time, their faces were gray, tears were flying, and they couldn't cry: "She...... She...... It's not Aoi at all...... There is no hope......"
"Let go of me, let go of me!" The "little Aoi" in my hand also cried while struggling: "You recognize the wrong person...... Hurry up and let me go......"
At that time, the sun was rising, and the water was melted into a pool of golden mirrors, and a group of fairies with short haired little boys gathered around the edge of the water, looking anxiously at us on the shore. A fairy whistled, the water surface was bumped, and the big snake broke out of the mirror, and this time it was the snake's head that was exposed. I finally knew where the fairies' pretty hair had gone—all of them had turned into strands of slender dark water serpents, like braided braids hanging from the top of the serpent's head. He shook his head, and countless "pigtails" flew with it.
What a snake that feels good about himself, I even think he's a little cute—if not for the occasion. I saw him swing his head lightly, several "braids" flew up, and the water surface swirled and rotated, and I was marveling at the power of this snake's hair braid, and suddenly the soles of my feet were loosened, and I was swept up by the wind and waves set off by the big snake!
My feet were off the ground, but my hands were still clasping Aoi's wrists, and she flew with me. The big snake danced with its braids and swept over, trying to wrap up "Aoi" and save her into the water, but I suddenly lifted her and dodged away. Looking down, the people who had just been in chaos had long since scattered and disappeared, leaving only my brother and a few of them standing by the water, jumping on tiptoe and stretching out their arms, to drag us (their faces were relaxed, as if they were nothing).
If it weren't for the fact that they were crying sadly, I would have thought it was all fun. The big snake didn't catch "Aoi", and with a gasp, we sank and fell back to the ground. Seven or eight snow-white arms stretched out from Mizusawa, and I hugged "Aoi" and rolled several times away from Mizusawa.
"What the hell do you want?" "Xiao Kui" pushed me away, and the little face was solidified, the eyebrows were eyebrows, and the eyes were eyes—they might really be creatures suitable for the moonlight, and in the daytime, under the sun, they were too one-sided, but they had a kind of humble stupidity.
"Take us to the Elven Ancient Kingdom. I laughed.
"It's all said that I'm not Aoi." She said angrily. The cheeks were gilded with a layer of gold dust from the sun, and the cheeks and ears were covered with a layer of fine hairs that fluttered with gold, like a fresh fruit rolling in the gold dust. I swallowed.
I didn't even look back, I reached out and snapped my fingers (I snapped my fingers? Who did I learn from?? Who do I show this "chic" cool?), I heard a flutter of wings, and knew that it was the elves and a few of them flying over, I spread my palms, and still didn't look back, they put something in my palm.
Well, that's what I want—three elves are pretty powerful. I stared at the object in my palm for a moment, and then with a flick of my fingertips, I put it back between Aoi's eyebrows.
"You-" "Aoi" is about to reach out again. I grabbed her and said with a smile, "Okay, now you're 'Aoi' again, take us there." ”
"I ...... I can't go...... I'm going to die there......" She finally couldn't hold it anymore, her face was bitter, and she cried again.
"Then who are you, trying to pretend to be Aoi?" the elder brother and the forgetful words came around them, and the elder sister bent down and asked her softly.
Jicheng whispered in my ear: "Meiyi, you were so chic just now!"
"You...... You guys...... Is it the Bloodline?" the little fairy looked startled and shrank back.
"What do you say? and the Bloods who have been hungry for days and nights. Luo Ying snorted coldly.
"Do you want to scare me? Our blood is cold and not for you. The little fairy looked stubborn and gritted her teeth and said.
"Don't be afraid, I can warm you up first. Luo Ying's eyes flashed, and he made a flame steaming motion in his hand.
The little fairy suddenly jumped to her feet and shouted at Mizusawa, "They're the Bloods!"
"You're too unrighteous!" Kazama couldn't bear it anymore and cried out: "A few of us went deep into the water, rescued so many young people in the world, and lifted the spell of the water and grass monster for you, so that you will no longer be restrained by him, and saved you from those angry people several times, but let you lead the way, why did you push back and not even recognize your identity, you ...... Are you embarrassed?!"
The little fairy pushed her sister's hand away, was silent for a moment, and looked up at Mizuzawa, where the pigtailed snake had long since disappeared, and it was estimated that it had swam back to its nest and was stinky.
The little fairy muttered, "The hair is white...... That's it...... I should have known that he was unreliable......" swept a few of us again, stared at Luo Ying, leaned back slightly, and said clearly: "I'm Xiao Nai." Aoi is my sister. She's dead. ”
Ignoring the look of surprise on the faces of the crowd, she continued, "Will you allow me to go into the water and talk? ”
Brother and Wuyan glanced at each other and nodded.
Xiao Nai whispered, "Thank you." "Dressed up, he walked briskly towards Mizusawa. We followed her, full of doubts.
I saw Xiao Nai enter the water, gathered the fairies who were waiting on the edge of the water, and said something in detail, and the fairies were surprised and sighed, and gradually dispersed. Xiao Nai glanced back at us, and plunged into the water, the blisters rushed to the surface, and the figure was gone.
"She'll be back. My brother whispered.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Xiao Nai wrapped in a green shirt and slowly surfaced, with ice muscles and jade bones, and picturesque eyebrows. She didn't erase the little blue mole.
"500 years ago, a strange animal came to Mizusawa, a red deer with a single horn, claiming to be from the ancient elven country, looking for a fairy named 'Xiao Aoi'. After seeing Xiao Kui, the one-horned red deer handed her a small package, said a few words to Xiao Kui in private, and left, and it is said that when he left, the one-horned deer was exhausted and faltering. Xiao Nai looked at the water, her voice was shallow, and she began to tell.
"It turned out that the unicorn deer had been entrusted by my aunt to bring a letter and a map. After reading the letter, Aoi began to study the map, and a few days later, she told several of the older fairies in Mizusawa that she was going to find her aunt and bring her back. Everyone dissuaded her, but she was determined and set off in a few days. By the time she reappeared in Mizusawa, it had been dozens of days. With that, Xiao Nai raised her eyes and turned from the surface of the water to the people on the shore. At a glance, I saw that she actually had a pair of deep algae green eyes, which reflected the blue waves under her face, and the beauty was swaying and moving.
"She couldn't bring her aunt back, and besides, she's dying. Xiao Nai sniffed lightly, buried her face in the water, was quiet for a while, and then raised her head again, her eyebrows were wet by water, and the roots were distinct, making her face look charming and heroic, she continued: "Xiao Aoi didn't even see her aunt's face, she was blown up all over her body, and no one knows how she insisted on returning to Mizusawa." ”
"When Xiao Kui was dying, she ordered someone to call me, personally remove the blue mole from the center of her eyebrows, put it on the center of my eyebrows, and told me: 'From this moment on, your name is Xiao Kui, and there is a blue mole between your eyebrows - you will be my substitute, you must live well in my place, and in your lifetime, you must bring your aunt back! And maybe one day, someone will come to 'Xiao Aoi', that is, you, and ask you about the path to the ancient elven country, and you need to show them the way. My aunt's letter and hand-drawn map are here, so keep them safe. Then I asked her, 'Who will it be?' and when will they come?' and Aoi shook her head and said, 'I don't know.' Maybe tomorrow, maybe never. ''Then do I have to take them there?' I asked again. Not necessarily, you decide. However, it is your duty to bring back your aunt!' Xiaokui said very firmly at that time. ”
"'Can I not go?' I'm Xiao Nai, I can't be 'Xiao Kui', I'm not you...... If you hadn't gone once, you wouldn't be like this now!' I begged Aoi bitterly. Xiao Nai said, a sad look on his face flashed.
"'No. Xiao Nai, you have to grow up and learn to take responsibility! I'm dead, and you're the only one in this world who knows how to get to the obliterated Elven Ancient Kingdom, and besides, my aunt is still there, although it was her own decision to stay in the Elven Ancient Kingdom, but now that the times have changed, maybe she still relies on you to bring her out...... But, Xiao Nai, I still won't force you, the decision is still in your hands, you can set off at any time, you can also bury this letter and this map, and don't look at a word, I won't blame you!' Xiao Kui said very decisively. Xiao Nai said, imitating Xiao Kui's stubborn tone, suddenly her eyes were red and tears were shining.
"'You're not going to die...... You want to live, I'll go...... When you are well, I will accompany you to find your aunt...... 'I could not stop crying. Xiao Nai said sadly.
Listening to such a beautiful little fairy reminiscing about the life and death of her sister, I felt a sense of kinship in my heart.
"'I almost got through that well and into the ancient country, but ...... The well suddenly exploded in my head, everything shattered into powder, and the water boiled instantly, and a huge force threw me out...... Ruined, ruined, Xiao Nai, I'm sorry, I really don't know if I entrust this matter to you, right...... I've hurt you......' my sister said as she hung her head on my chest, her breath barely audible. Xiao Nai was completely caught up in the memories, and everyone held their breath.
"Yes, since you have seen the ancient country of elves and the well, it has been blown up, and it has been destroyed, why do you need to go again!" Xiao Nai suddenly raised his voice, facing the water, and cried loudly. I don't know if it was her questioning of her sister at the beginning, or the regret in her heart at the moment.
"'Take a good look at this letter written by your aunt...... You have to remember that all I saw was that the well was blown up, and I never saw my aunt die with my own eyes...... My aunt is still there, she must still be alive...... You're going to bring her back......'After saying this, Xiao Aoi, Xiao Aoi, she will ......" Xiao Nai's voice gradually lowered, and the little snow-white face hung on the water, like a flower bone that had been put together.
"Is the letter here?" asked Forget to whisper.
Xiao Nai lifted a long dark yellow box out of the water and handed it to the forgotten hand.
Everyone came over. Forget to say that he opened the lid of the box, and inside was a tightly wrapped transparent oiled paper bag, tied with a straw-yellow rope, untied the rope, and opened it layer by layer, revealing a letter and a cigarette-yellow soft cloth.
"Is it okay?" forgot to cling to the letterhead and asked Xiao Nai softly.
Xiao Nai nodded, and with a stroke of his arm, like a green lotus, he swept away.
Forget to say that the letterhead was gently unfolded, and a small handwriting was like a green shade swept into the eyes under the hot sun, and the cool Qin Qin spread out.
"Xiao Kui, see the words as faces. There has been a great change on my side, and everything has turned into smoke. I don't even know if these words, written plainly on paper, will turn into a wisp of smoke before they reach you. The only consolation is that my favorite friend in my life is still around. ”
