Chapter 02: Two Small

"Squeak......

With a soft sound, Xiao Chuan pushed the door and walked into the broken temple, first glanced at the offering table, and then looked stunned, but found that the man before had long since disappeared.

"Gone?"

He muttered to himself, shook his head, and welcomed the girl behind him.

"Who?"

Yaoyao asked. Glancing at this dilapidated temple, I saw that the door wall was damaged, debris was everywhere, and the enshrined statue of Daozu Laojun was already covered with mud and dust, and cobwebs were all over the place.

Some displeasure floated on his face.

"There was a man before, he asked me to go under the old locust tree. ”

Xiao Chuan replied casually, not paying attention to Yaoyao's rather evil gaze. He has lived in this dilapidated temple for several years, and it has always been like this, it's not that he doesn't want to clean it, it's just that he is weak and frail, and he is hungry on weekdays, so how can he have the time and strength to take care of these.

"Who is he?"

Yaoyao asked again.

He patted his sleeves under a table before he sat down, but his back was straight, unwilling to lean against the dusty plank behind him. Although she didn't like it in her heart, she didn't show it too much, maybe she also understood her situation at the moment.

"He said he was a god, but I didn't believe it. ”

Xiao Chuan muttered, as if he remembered that the person had used the agitation method to instigate himself, and he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. When I came back from that city, I was still hungry.

Hearing this, Yaoyao was a little stunned.

Others may not know, but her Shangguan family has been worshipping the Xiuzhen sect on Fuxi Mountain in the north for several generations, and she naturally knows who the so-called "immortals" are.

Could it be that the immortals on the mountain have come down?

But when he was about to ask, he saw Xiaochuan pick up the steamed buns on the stage and walk towards him.

"Are you hungry?"

Xiao Chuan selected the largest of them and was about to hand it to Yaoyao, but suddenly found that there was a lot of dust, and he took it back and wiped it, as if he was not satisfied, and tore off the steamed bun again, and finally handed over the remaining part with a little residual warmth.

"I don't eat it. ”

Yaoyao replied and shook her head.

Maybe it's because you can't accept the food handed by others at will, or maybe it's because the steamed bun is stained with dust, but you don't say that you're not hungry. His eyes were still staring at the steamed bun in front of him, and the two delicate and lovely cherry lips seemed to move, and finally he just took a sip.

"If you don't eat, don't eat. ”

Xiao Chuan said, a little frustrated, and could probably understand why she was like this.

With a slightly depressed expression, he sat down on the spot, looking at the steamed buns in his hand, and it seemed that he didn't feel hungry for a moment, and he didn't have the slightest appetite.

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it tomorrow. He added.

Seeing this, Yaoyao suddenly felt a little unbearable in her heart, and a little sadness flashed in her eyes. She tucked her long skirt and beckoned again, motioning for Xiaochuan to sit down beside her.

"Come here. ”

"Oh. ”

With a sudden burst of joy in his heart, Xiaochuan stood up, as if hesitating, and finally walked to Yaoyao and sat down. But they didn't dare to get too close, a finger's distance from each other.

He suddenly felt a little inferior.

However, I saw Yaoyao reach out and take the half of the steamed bun that he had just torn off in his hand, clasp his hands to his mouth, and gnaw on it silently. It seems that he is indeed hungry.

"Hey, hey. ”

Xiao Chuan laughed and took a bite of the steamed bun, but he felt that it had never been so delicious.

The night is getting darker.

The snow was rising again, and the cold wind was raging as much as possible. Outside the window, the sound of snow falling was endless, slapping on the already dilapidated doors and windows, squeaking.

However, there is still a certain kind of tranquility.

In the temple.

The two children snuggled up to each other, leaning under the table, each breathing lightly and moving slowly, as if there was some subtle connection, and they seemed very harmonious with each other.

That's it, fall asleep quietly.

......

Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear.

Snow flew overnight until dawn. The warm sun rises in the east, the white clouds are thousands of miles, and in the ice and snow, the clear sky is a little more vast and silent.

But it's a snowstorm.

The first rays of sunlight shone through the window into the ruined temple, and at this time Xiaochuan woke up leisurely, feeling as if he was holding something warm in his daze, very comfortable, never so kind. suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that he was snuggling intimately with the little girl he saved last night.

Suddenly, his body leaned back, a few inches away, and bit his lip gently.

He smiled slightly again, and quietly looked at her face.

After a while, Yaoyao also woke up from her deep sleep, stretched out her little hand and rubbed her eyes again, her appearance was even more moving. Then he saw that Xiaochuan was looking at him, so he stood up suddenly, but he was young and ignorant, and he didn't feel a little shy.

"I'll take you home. ”

Xiao Chuan suddenly said, "Your father and your mother should be very worried about you, if you ......"

As he was talking, he suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart, and he didn't say any more. In a pair of eyes, there is a little sadness, and I am alone at such an age, so I can imagine how much I have suffered.

"Xiaochuan, where is your father?"

Yaoyao also had some pity in her heart, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Why are you alone in this temple?

"Dead. ”

Xiao Chuan sniffled, and suddenly swept away Fang Cai's affection, "Someone sold me to Jingzhou, but I got sick, and they threw me here again." ”

β€œ......”

Yaoyao was silent for a long time.

She was born in a famous family since she was a child, and she was pampered, where had she heard such a miserable story, this time she heard Qin Chuan's words, and she only felt unbearable for a while, and it seemed that she felt a little guilty because of her previous defense against Xiaochuan.

"Don't beg, okay?"

Suddenly bent down, Yaoyao squatted in front of Xiao Chuan and pulled the corner of his clothes, "Can you go home with me, study with me, and play with me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuan was stunned.

"You're hungry, I'll go to the city to get food. ”

In an instant, he stood up suddenly, but instead of answering Yaoyao's question, he gently took the palm that was holding him away, and walked towards the door. He wanted to nod, but the pride in his heart prevented him from agreeing. Although he is a beggar and accepts alms from others, he is the only one except the person in front of him.

Only, I don't want to accept Yaoyao's pity.

For the first time, he had the idea of wanting to get ahead.

"I'm not hungry. ”

Yaoyao chased after her and called out. Suddenly, I saw the sky was vast, the sky was full of white clouds, and a touch of warm winter sun was swaying to the fullest, although it was a snowy day, it was also very bright.

"I want to fly a kite. She muttered.

"Who flies a kite in the winter? Ogawa replied.

β€œ......”

wanted to speak again and again, but in the end, Yaoyao still didn't speak, sat quietly on the threshold, held up her faces on both sides, and looked at the sky blankly.

A bird, with a long call, soared for a week.

"I ...... I'll make you one. ”

Xiao Chuan said, but in his tone, there was a little reluctance.

He is alone, poor and white, where can he afford a kite, if he is an ordinary person, he can make one by himself. But if nothing else, even if it is a kite flying string, I can't find half of it.

"You wait for me. ”

With a command, he returned to the ruined temple.

Since he promised her, he must find a way to make one, Xiaochuan has never promised anything to others in his life, this time, he doesn't want to disappoint Yaoyao.

Outside the door.

Yaoyao pursed her lips and turned around, but she didn't say anything.

I only saw Xiaochuan rummaging around in the ruined temple, tearing a piece of yellow paper from the old monarch's throne, and finding a few bamboo sticks from nowhere, squatting alone in the temple, constantly busy. His weak figure fell in his eyes, but he suddenly felt that Xiaochuan was not a weak person.

At least she felt that this little beggar would not be just a beggar forever.

......

"It's done. ”

Half an hour later, maybe longer, Yaoyao didn't notice. Suddenly, Xiao Chuan ran out of the temple with a kite in his hand, his face full of joy.

A simple bamboo frame, pasted with a piece of yellow paper, a cursory glance, but also ......

It's a kite!

"Yes...... Can you fly?"

Yaoyao bit her lower lip lightly and raised her head and asked.

β€œ......”

Hearing this, Xiao Chuan's previous joy fell down for a moment. Yes, how can a kite without a string fly.

A moment of loss, he also sat down on the threshold.

The two sat quietly side by side, without saying a word. Xiao Chuan was thinking about how to make the kite in his hand fly, holding his chin and hanging his little head, thinking hard, while Yaoyao was watching Xiao Chuan from the side, holding his cheeks like this, to see how he wanted the kite to fly.

The north wind is blowing, and I don't know whether it's warm or cold.

"Someday, I'll make it fly. ”

After a long time, Xiao Chuan said affirmatively, and his shallow eyebrows rose with a burst of perseverance. At this time, I have no way, but it does not mean that I have no way.

"Hmm. ”

Yaoyao answered.

She knows how to make a kite fly without a string, but she can't do it now, but like Ogawa, she believes that one day, she will do it herself.

Suddenly, she wanted to tell SΓΉ Ogawa what she knew.

"Ogawa, actually I ......"

"After looking for a long time, it turned out that I didn't run far at all. ”

Suddenly, a sharp voice reached his ears, interrupting what Yaoyao was about to say. Immediately, Xiao Chuan's face changed, and he suddenly pulled Yaoyao to stand up.

When he looked sideways, he saw a scrawny man, who had come to his side while the two of them were pondering. It was the thin man who kidnapped Yaoyao last night.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiaochuan picked up a stone on the ground, protected Yaoyao behind him, and shouted angrily. It's just that his voice is immature, and he doesn't have any confidence, and in the ears of the thin man, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"You little flower, see how I clean you up!"

The thin man scolded, with a treacherous face, he had already copied out a pair of opponents, ready to pounce. Two five or six-year-old children, how can they be his opponents.

"Whew!"

However, in an instant, a cloud of black gas came out of nowhere, and suddenly rushed into the thin man's body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned a living person into a skeleton.

Terrifying!
