Chapter 6: The Nightmare of Xiaozhuang (Part II)
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace. Jing Ke said suddenly, and after that, the figures of Jing Ke and the others gradually disappeared into the blurry heavy fog, and together with the baby Gai Nie, they also disappeared from Xiao Zhuang's sight.
It was a moonlit and starry moonlit night but for no reason provoked a cloudy cloud, the polar region of cloud pressure, as if it would rain at any time, the oppressive air forced Gai Nie to wake up from his sleep, the first thing that caught his eye was Xiao Zhuang, the whitening sideburns, the angular broadness, the closed eyes, sleeping soundly. But this sense of oppression, sure enough, Xiao Zhuang pressed his strong arm to Gai Nie's body again, and Gai Nie's face was also tightly attached to Xiao Zhuang's chest.
"This kid is really bad at sleeping!" said Ganie to himself. Probably I had seen the same scene yesterday, Gai Nie didn't feel any sense of disobedience and discomfort, but remembering yesterday, Gai Nie subconsciously pulled out the arm that was pressed under Xiao Zhuang's body, and raised it in the air to make a grasping motion. With Gai Nie's movements, a pair of immature arms met Gai Nie's eyes, and these immature arms danced with Gai Nie's thoughts, sometimes waving, sometimes grasping.
"Sure enough" Seeing this, Gai Nie's eyes drooped slightly, and he muttered in a gloomy tone: "Sure enough, everything is not a dream." ”
Gai Nie sighed lightly, took a deep breath, and the moment he exhaled, Gai Nie opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to accept his fate.
He looked at Xiao Zhuang in his sleep, a tear flowed down Xiao Zhuang's cheek to the pillow, and then looked at the pillow, where it was already wet, Xiao Zhuang cried for a long time? Is it a nightmare? Gai Nie looked at Xiao Zhuang's appearance a little distressed, he gently brushed away Xiao Zhuang's tears with his hand, and held the broken hair on his forehead, hoping that this would allow him to escape from the nightmare quickly.
I don't know why, Xiao Zhuang suddenly hugged Gai Nie tightly, crying: "Senior brother, don't go, don't leave me!" Tears welled up again, even more violently than just now.
Gai Nie was surprised, it has been a long time since Xiaozhuang came to Guigu, Gai Nie has never seen Xiaozhuang shed a single tear, and now he just had a dream, why do he cry like this? It is said that in dreams, people will reveal their truest character and make the most real reaction in their hearts. I didn't expect Xiao Zhuang's heart to be so fragile. What was the knot in his heart? It seemed to have something to do with me, Gagne guessed. Tears soaked Xiao Zhuang's cheeks, watching Xiao Zhuang muttering to himself, Gai Nie gently stroked his face with his hand, wiped away the tears that kept slipping, he put his face in front of Xiao Zhuang, and said softly: "Senior brother is here, senior brother will not leave Xiaozhuang, senior brother will always accompany Xiaozhuang." Saying this, Gai Nie gently hugged Xiao Zhuang's face, because the arm was too short, only Xiao Zhuang's face could be embraced, I don't know where the courage came from, Gai Nie actually kissed Xiao Zhuang's forehead, just like Xiao Zhuang kissed Gai Nie's forehead last night, and never left, Gai Nie held Xiao Zhuang's hair, comforting him like soothing a crying baby.
When he woke up again, the sky was already bright, and he didn't know what time it was, Gai Nie recalled the appearance of Xiao Zhuang just now, he looked at Xiao Zhuang again, Xiao Zhuang was sleeping soundly at this moment, the tears in the corners of his eyes had dried up, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that Xiao Zhuang had successfully escaped from the nightmare, Gai Nie got up with confidence. He found that his body was still being held tightly by Xiao Zhuang, and he was so thirsty that he tried his best to break free from Xiao Zhuang's arms, and slowly climbed to the edge of the bed, he turned around, first put his lower body down the edge of the bed, supported the edge of the bed with both hands, and the moment his feet touched the ground, Gai Nie finally experienced the feeling of standing again.
He tried to slowly let go of the hands that were clenching the edge of the bed, first let go of his left hand, his trembling body could barely stand, he waited for a little more stability and then let go of his right hand, the moment his right hand left the edge of the bed, Gai Nie stumbled and fell to the ground. It seems that it is a ridiculous idea to stand up by force, is this body really unable to stand up? Gai Nie rubbed his painful knee, not only his knees, but also his shoulders and back spine were sore and sore, as if he was constantly doing high-physical work, without any stops, he didn't feel this way before taking the elixir, is this really a side effect of the elixir?
His mouth was so thirsty and thirsty, his throat was itchy, the heating was too hot, he just wanted to drink water quickly, he remembered that there was water in the cup on the coffee table in the living room. Gai Nie moved his shoulders, sat on the ground and shook his legs, and finally had to crawl out of the house.
"Da (Gai Nie involuntarily made a sound of hard work when crawling)" crawled very hard, and it turned out that crawling was more tiring than walking, and his arms and knees hurt even more. There was still a long way to go from the coffee table, and Gai Nie was panting, and his physical strength seemed to be much worse than before taking the elixir, was this also a side effect?
"Da-da-da-da. He continued to crawl forward, and although there was a soft blanket on the ground, his palms still hurt and were already red. After climbing for a long time, Gai Nie finally came to the coffee table, his hands first held the drawer under the coffee table, so as to stand up with his strength, his body swayed, and it took a long time to stand firm, this body is really vulnerable.
Gai Nie's mind resurfaced Yingzheng's evil appearance, he frowned, and then shook his head, making Yingzheng's appearance disappear in his mind.
There was half a glass of water in the transparent glass, and Gai Nie stared at the half glass of water and swallowed, a dry pain feeling coming from the depths of his throat. The cup was in the center of the coffee table, and Gai Nie had to climb on it if he wanted to drink water.
Gai Nie originally wanted to hold the ground with one hand, and then take off with a 360-degree rotation and land on the coffee table, if it was the previous body, Gai Nie would do this kind of action like playing, but now this is also Yingzheng's fault!
Gai Nie thought indignantly, Ying Zheng's appearance filled Gai Nie's mind again, Gai Nie shook his head vigorously to remove Ying Zheng's appearance from his mind, Gai Nie said in a deep voice: "I really want to swear." Saying this, he honestly climbed onto the coffee table little by little.
The glass glass is not big, but for Gai Nie at this time, it is very heavy. He jerked it and didn't pick it up. He hugged the glass of water again, and with all his strength, he still picked it up.
Gai Nie frowned again, it seems that he needs to get a straw, the straw is in the top drawer of the kitchen, climb up the drawer, you should be able to get it, right?
"Da Da!" seemed to be an angry voice, Gai Nie crawled quickly, as if he was about to go to the sky, rushed to the kitchen, he crawled on the ground, looking at the cupboard. It's so high, it's really high, why didn't you notice this problem before? Gai Nie was stunned for a moment. There are four levels of cabinets, each with a bronze doorknob that can be used to step on it. Gai Nie looked at the cupboard, nodded from time to time, and shook his head from time to time, it looked like he was planning how to go up, and sure enough, it was more convenient to fly up in a big spin, but I really wanted to swear!
The brows were unconsciously squeezed together again, the anger in his heart was uncontrollable, and he slowly stood up with the doorknob, although it was a little shaky, but it was still firm. Gai Nie stepped on the handle of the first layer, held the handle of the second layer, and then climbed up layer by layer, I don't know how long, he finally climbed to the third floor, the handle of the fourth drawer was within reach, but he didn't find that at this moment, above his head, there was a fruit knife, the blade rushed out, half-suspended on the cupboard.
Maybe it's because it's getting smaller, the various skills of the body plus the internal force have completely regressed, and Gai Nie didn't notice this fruit knife at all.
The handle on the fourth floor was unusually high, and Ganie had begun to stand on his toes, but he could not reach the fourth handle. Gai Nie was a little depressed, he slammed his strength, and jumped up angrily, probably the cabinet shook a little when he jumped, and the fruit knife fell downward, and the direction the blade pointed was the top of Gai Nie's head.
Gai Nie looked up, and suddenly a black shadow rushed by, covering Gai Nie's vision, and along with Gai Nie's body, he involuntarily followed.
I don't know what happened, Gai Nie only felt that he was in someone else's arms, that person's chest, the temperature was very familiar, Gai Nie's eyes moved to that person's hand, that hand held a fruit knife tightly, the blade was deeply embedded in his palm, the red blood kept dripping, and the light-colored carpet was stained with blood.
"Senior brother, why are you so naughty!" In his ears, Xiao Zhuang's scolding sound.
Gai Nie was being held in Xiao Zhuang's arms at the moment, and Xiao Zhuang was holding the blade of the fruit knife that almost hurt Gai Nie. Getting smaller will really bring people all kinds of trouble, Gai Nie's heart was sour, he lowered his eyes, and said in a childish but slightly hoarse voice: "I'm sorry." ”
Hearing Gai Nie's words, Xiao Zhuang also felt that what he said just now was a bit excessive, because it was too dangerous just now. Looking at Gai Nie's low mood, Xiao Zhuang's heart seemed to be tightly grasped, an indescribable pain came from the bottom of his heart, his face couldn't help but become gloomy, Xiao Zhuang threw the fruit knife into the sink, and then kept cleaning the wound with water, Xiao Zhuang gently shook off the blood stains on his hands, and walked to the living room, he put Gai Nie on the sofa, and then turned out the potion and gauze.
"I'll help you rub the medicine. Gai Nie's voice was a little cold, and his facial paralysis temper came up again.
Xiao Zhuang smiled lightly and unscrewed the potion bottle, and his injured hand also fell on Gai Nie's legs. The blood was still flowing out, Gai Nie picked up the small medicine bottle and poured the contents on Xiao Zhuang's wound, the earthy yellow powder covered the wound, and the blood no longer gushed out. Xiao Zhuang looked at this senior brother who was both familiar and a little unfamiliar, and an inexplicable feeling began to arise, filling every nerve in him.
