Chapter 1614 Asleep

"Yeah, it's very good."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

In any case, Wulianggui and Jiujiu both saw each other.

That's fine.

"what happened?"

Sensing the strangeness in Master Xiao's tone, Su Xun's smile faded slightly, "Did...something happen?"

Xiao Xiao did not answer, but turned and looked towards the lake.

Although Su Xun was puzzled, he did not rush to ask questions and looked in the direction of Master Xiao's gaze.

The next second, he was stunned.

A little bird floating in the air.

Why do you say that?

Because the bird's wings were folded at its sides and not open.

I don’t know if he was ignorant, but before this, he never knew that one could fly in the air in this posture.

This posture... looks more like the little bird is being held by someone.

Being... held?

Su Xun was stunned.

Then he realized, “That’s Jiujiu?”

"The one holding it now is a ghost?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"That little bird..."

Even from a distance, he could see the bird's dishevel and weakness.

"it……"

"Not long to live."

Xiao Xiao's voice was very soft and faint.

"It's a little late after all."

If the ghost could have come to him for help on the day Jiujiu disappeared, or even a day earlier, maybe Jiujiu wouldn't have...

He didn't think about it further.

There are no ifs.

Time cannot be reversed.

……

"Yeah……"

There was a hint of gloom on Su Xun's face.

He didn't say anything else, and like Master Xiao, he quietly looked at the birds by the lake.

He could only see the birds by the lake.

He couldn't see the monster in Master Xiao's eyes.

I don’t know what the ghost’s expression is at this moment?

He found it difficult to imagine a sad expression on the monster's face.

Rather, he always thought that monsters could not feel sadness.

Can monsters really be sad?
……

The ghost came to the lake holding Jiujiu.

It sat on the ground with its legs crossed.

"Wawa~wa~wa~"

Chirp, look, the lake.

The bird opened its eyes with difficulty.

My vision is still blurry.

But it could vaguely see the shimmering waves.

It was like stars shining before its eyes.

very beautiful.

It knows.

It has been to this lake countless times.

Its favorite thing is to watch the sunlight fall on the lake.

All the haze faded away.

The world is sparkling.

……

A hint of smile seeped out of the little bird's eyes.

There is a starry sky before my eyes.

It wants to watch longer.

However, it felt a little overwhelmed.

so tired.

It's going to sleep.

……

"Wawa~"

As if it had noticed something, the quiet ghost suddenly spoke, "Wawa~Wawa~Wawa..."

The bird tilted its head.

Really noisy.

It feels a little disgusted.

The smile in his eyes deepened.

very nice.

It's not that the bird died alone.

There is also an ugly iron clamp on the foot.

……

The little bird raised its head with difficulty.

It tried hard to open its eyes.

The blurriness in front of its eyes didn't bother it too much.

What does it matter?

Anyway, it remembers this guy's appearance clearly.

This guy used to dislike it because it was gray and ugly.

Now in its eyes, this guy is also gray.

It's much uglier than this.

"Wawa~wawa~wa..."

There were constant cries in my ears.

But the little bird felt that the calls seemed to be getting farther and farther away from it.

It slowly closed its eyes.

Even at nightfall, summer evenings are warm.

It's really warm, thought the little bird.

……

"Wawa~wa~"

The ghost's voice faded away.

But soon, its sound rang out again.

"Wawa~Wawa..."

It even reached out and gave the bird a gentle nudge.

The little bird was annoyed.

It subconsciously wanted to attack with its wings.

Then it discovered its own weakness.

Its mood calmed down all of a sudden.

It's like this now, why are you still angry?

However, the sound in my ears became louder and louder, and the fire suddenly burst out.

This idiot, can't he be left alone in peace at this time?

The anger seemed to cheer it up a little.

It was about to open its eyes and glare at the noisy guy, but found that it was being lifted up.

"Wah~"

Look?
What to look at?
The bird lowered its head and pecked the hand that was supporting it in annoyance.

Its eyes were almost blind.

It looks up.

The next second, it froze.

Specks of green light appeared in its field of vision.

This is……

firefly!
The bird suddenly opened its eyes wide.

It knows that there are fireflies by the lake.

It also remembers the image of fireflies dancing by the lake.

Even now its eyes are hazy.

However, based on the images in memory, it outlined a clear scene.

It's really beautiful.

It smiles.

The breath is getting weaker and weaker.

Eventually it becomes nothing.

"Wawa~"

The ghost had never spoken so cautiously before.

It actually doesn't quite understand why it is doing this?
I just did it subconsciously.

After a moment's pause, it suddenly realized.

Because Jiujiu fell asleep.

But how could Jiujiu fall asleep?

The ghost didn't quite know what he was thinking.

Why can’t Jiujiu fall asleep?

Jiujiu sleeps every day.

But, it’s different.

The ghost shook his head.

This time is different.

Jiujiu can't fall asleep.

"Wawa~Wawa..."

The ghost pushed the bird gently, calling its name.

Chirp, chirp, chirp.
Chirp, wake up.

Wake up
The bird didn't respond.

Let the strength of the ghost's hands grow stronger and stronger.

It shows no sign of waking up.

how could be?

The ghosts don't believe it.

Jiojiu, don’t sleep anymore.

It's not completely dark yet.

And, look, there are lots of fireflies.

Can't you come and see the fireflies?

It remembered that Jiujiu liked watching fireflies very much.

I even thought about catching a few fireflies and putting them in my own nest.

At that time, it was planning to help Jiujiu catch fireflies.

Jiujiu said no again.

It is said that fireflies are most beautiful by the lake.

It's not very clear.

Just because Jiujiu said she doesn’t want it anymore, then she doesn’t want it anymore.

It nodded in confusion.

I gave up the idea of ​​catching fireflies.

If Chirp doesn’t want it anymore, then what’s the point of catching these fireflies?

"Ghost."

Seeing that the monster's movements were getting more and more violent, Xiao Xiao spoke up.

He walked a few steps forward to the side of the ghost and squatted down, "Don't disturb Jiujiu."

"It's asleep."

"Wah~Wah~Wah~"

So when does it wake up?
The ghost looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.

Xiao Xiao sighed almost imperceptibly.

He looked seriously at a certain monster with a faint light in its eyes, "It won't wake up."

"Ghosts,"

“It’s gone.”

Xiao Xiao spoke each word with emphasis.

"Wawa~"

gone?

The ghosts were at a loss.

Where did Jiujiu go?

Jiujiu is clearly in its hand.
